    Breach of contract I guess.

    Adrian Mutu was caning it at Chelsea and they let him go. Chelsea subsequently chased him for money for breaking the terms of the contract.

    Yeah I know that....but doesnt mean you have to retire!

    Regarding Andy Carroll, do clubs have insurance on players who have to retire due to injury/substance abuse*? If not, imagine we still had him and saw £50m go down the swanny :eek:. It will be a right kick in the stones for the Hammers if that's the case

    *may not be true of course

    Is he actually that bad, and has this been confirmed? I thought it was only an ugly rumour.

    Ok, substance abuse aside, can clubs take insurance out on a player who has to retire due to injury? Imagine we'd bought a player for £50m and he had to retire 2 years later, do we get current market value back or the £50m?

    Bonus points for anyone who can name the insurance company that does such insurance!?

    FT 3 - 1 Everton deserved their win, Canos one to keep an eye on.

    Full of attacking flair, that team (Canos, Kent, Wilson, O'Hanlon, Sinclair, Ojo), but they miss the players who have moved up to U21 - Rossiter and Lloyd defensively, and Branagan and Ibe in attack. It's a good chance to bring through 16 year olds, but they do get picked off pretty easily. Uaually, we just score more, or as many - 30 goals scored in 14 league games, and 31 conceded. We are mid-table in the North league, and that's about right.

    Having said all that, not that Chiv and Canos have their clearance and will feature more heavily, and with Sinclair back to full fitness, we can really build in the second half of the season. Wilson and Sinclair either side of Canos, with Chiv holding behind Kent and Ojo/O'Hanlon. It's a very talented group of kids...

    Agree with all that, said many a time there is much to look forward to in attacking terms but they also need some steel in the mix - like the U21s and the first team.

    From a predominantly lurkers point of view Alan's absence is a loss, irregardless of me usually not agreeing with most of what he thinks.

    Different views certainly makes the thread quite wholesome, kinda like that kid who apparently ate Raheem.

    Well, I've been following them for awhile. So I'd like to think so :P

    Saw that @Boywunder lad RT it a little earlier.

    edit: Speaking of Sakho -
    "I wouldn't have changed my choice for anything in the world," Sakho explained to The Guardian.

    "My decision to come to Liverpool has been fantastic for me. I haven't been here very long at all but I've settled in well.

    "It was always going to be hard because I've only ever known one club and been a one-club person before coming here, so that makes things a bit more difficult.

    "But I've been prepared to go and ask advice from everyone - my teammates, coaches and the manager. I've asked them a lot about the game here. My family has settled in, it's going well."

    Yep just posted that. Unsure that those would be considered an asset though? Wouldn't it just be market value?

    Original point stands though so sorry for pedantics! :)

    Would be pretty awful to still have him. £17m return was good business.

    Is this the match behind closed doors??

    Wouldn't mind seeing abit more of Ilori. I say one of our CB will be shifted in the window and he will be stepping up.

    Anymore talk of Sterling/Ibe going out on loan? Would like to see both get a run of games.
