I don't have hate for the chap as such but I think it was very evident very quickly he isn't of the required standard. I don't see him dislodging Coutinho, Markovic, Lallana, Sterling et al.

12 months ago some people thought Sterling wasn't of the required standard. The list of top quality players who were at various stages of their development written off, derided or considered not of the required standard would be a very long list

Why is Lovren having a medical in Liverpool and Origi and Remy had their 10 (in total) in Boston?

I think the remaining games take place at locations where they will only stay for 48 hours. So rather than depositing footballers all over north America, they thought it might be good to have Lovren take his in Liverpool.

Sooner or Later

Given that we have signed Lambert. Lallana and Lovren to go with Skrtel, Sterling and Sturridge it seems clear that Rodgers policy is not to sign two players for every position but to sign three players for each letter of the alphabet. Which means a squad of 78 players and a lot more signings to come.

I look forward to us signing Xavi and persuading Abel Xavier out of retirement.

Looks like Lucas is on his way out so...

If he proves me wrong I'll be delighted. I think his lack of mobility is a major problem though. He is chronically slow.

I'd guess that the club had full access to all the medical facilities in Boston but as they''re off to Chicago the same might not be true.

Echo said they had to use a few different facilities in Boston to get all the test done. As Fescue said, they are going to be traveling to a few different cities now, now it was just handier to do it in Liverpool

And Xabi completes the set.

Xavi, Xavier and Xabi.

FSG will be delighted to use up all those spare letters in the alphabet, no more waste.

Is Lovren the first Croatian to play for Liverpool?

EDIT: ASSUMING we sign him and he plays a game.

That makes sense as I presume the red Sox facilities would have been available but would have limited access elsewhere.

Super Croat Igor Biscan used to be atrocious
Used to sitting on the bench or driving a Ford Focus
But now he's turned into a swan and not a diplodocus

Even though he didnt play the final he earned his medal, some serious play in the run in!

Augmerson

I thought Biscan was French, the name like :eek:

Fescue

Lallana out for 6 weeks apparently. Knee ligaments.

Augmerson

Sign up another Soton player.

ASOT

Sign Jay up to replace Lallana.

Good job we have cash to spend.

Time to buy Vidal then :pac:

Lallana misses start of new season.
Feck

Vicxas

Any excuse to sign Vidal

Washington Irving

That's quite annoying, I must say.

Yeah, top news.

Soft Falling Rain

People complaining about signing a 26 year old for 25m only for him to get sidelined for at least 6 weeks without kicking a competitive ball. You'd swear God actually existed and was a bollox.

martyos121

Lallana out for six weeks? Sign Ronaldo. Only solution.

Washington Irving

Lallana injured, Suarez banned, Henderson and Sturridge leaving to work at Subway. Absolute disaster, season is over before it begins.
