Feck sake Mike was a great poster, hope he comes back.

Don't blame him for closing his account if it is a reaction to his ban, he got a 2nd yellow for nothing. The modding is a bit OTT at the moment IMO.

If you have a major disagreement about something u get a warning or a ban. Its a bit of a joke tbh.

Not sure what to think about Lallana. Very good player but not worth anywhere close to £25m. He's only really had a breakthrough season this season and is 26 years old. There has to be better value in the market. Surely Sanchez could have been bought for that?

Well apparently we're still interested in Sanchez anyway. I would say they will play,quite different roles too with Lallana more of a midfielder and Sanchez more of a forward. They wouldn't be stepping on each other's toes too much.

I also think that Sanchez's market value would be considerably more than 25m.

If we got him for 30m I would consider it an absolute bargain

What the **** is going on around here?

In fairness the posting rules were relaxed for the WC. Everything was working well and then Suarez tried to eat an Italian and all hell broke lose.

mikes 2nd yellow was very trivial

I think right now our transfer priorities need to be a RB, LB and CB.

Dont think so he got a second yellow which everyone was told would be a one month ban as per http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=90815280&postcount=19

Have to disagree.

Apparently the Belgian fella Divock Origi is supposed to be close to being completed. He's look promising during the World Cup anyway

Lallana doesn't address the elephant in the room, replacing Gerrard. Poor world cup, his form also dipped in the last month of the season.

Am not sure Can is ready, Lucas is not the answer either. We'll play Henderson, Lallana and Gerrard i assume, with Sterling, Sturridge +1 (Suarez when fit) in front.

Even more than I'd like to see Sanchez, I'd like to see a real presence, a big name, brought in to take Gerrards place. I can only see Gerrards performances going one direction, and it aint up.

Joe Allen must be wondering what's going on I'd imagine

Has everyone (including Rodgers) forgotten about his existence?

Or we play Henderson, Lallana and Allen? The latter was very good when called upon in the latter stages. Henderson has the mettle to play a more holding role. And we still have Lucas, while we wait for Can to prove himself?

Allen has been good, without being excellent. Champions League and competing in the prem demands more than he offers.

Allen or Anders Herrera?

Allen or Ozil?

Allen or Fabregas?

He's a step below those players unfortunately.

Why did Mike closed his Account? It makes no sense.

Mike, if you're Reading this, it's been a Pleasure, and you are surely will be Missed here.

I was about to PM him to change that post because I got an infraction a few months back saying the same thing. just as I refreshed the page the infraction happened, so I was about 10 mins too late. Sorry Mike.

Ozil wasn't up to the demands of the PL and CL together last year and he cost three times what we paid for Allen.

Herrera hasn't played a minute in England yet.

I don't think Gerrard is necessarily past it yet. Wasn't he in the running for POTY? I wouldn't agree that his form dropped off at the end of last year. He had the slip against Chelsea that everyone remembers but he was still one of our better peformers last year.

The Crystal Palace game btw I thought was one of the best games I'd seen them play up to the final 10 minutes when it all imploded.

Agent Coulson

Gerrard, Henderson, Allen, Coutinho, Lallana, Can, Lucas, Assaidi, Sterling and maybe add Shaqiri that's a strong and solid midfield to complete across next seaon.

Then add in maybe some youth who don't go on loan Teixeira and Ibe.

Came to pay my respects to the big man in dial-up heaven. Pouring a 40 to the side for 65 yo1$

I'm pretty happy with Lallana tbh. I think the difference between him and Sanchez/Shaqiri on the pitch for Liverpool would be pretty negilible.

The difference is Sanchez/Shaqiri are exotic signings that are currently flavour of the month with the World Cup.

Not really, both are currently in one of the top 3 teams in the world. Both have CL experience and both have won a number of trophies are there respective clubs. What exactly has Lallana done that he demands a £25m fee and consideration over Shaqiri? If its Shaqiri or Lallana, we have picked the wrong player IMO.

Would it make sense to buy both? Really wanted Shaqiri for a while, he would suit the EPL down to the ground.

Alex Witsel comes to mind.. He cost Zenit St Petersburg £32 m 2 years ago so that aint gonna happen..

I think we all know the obvious replacement for Gerard is Pirlo!

In a week where we will lose Suarez for 4 months the biggest loss is undobtly mike hope it's over a ban rather than health
Very civil lad wish him all the best

What? Mikes gone?

We could get both, we need players of real quality in reserve. A bench of the likes of Lambert, Lucas, Borini, Coutinho, Allen, Agger and Enrique, that's what we need...
