    Very different to the plodding cumbersome way that Liverpool insist upon.

    It's easier to sign players when you can pull out a cheque book, pen in hand and say "how much?"

    Yep, that's the scattergun approach, let's interview all the managers that got a team promoted last year, I think we'll take Hazard and Hulk instead of 2nd or 3rd choice manager. Or why not ask twitter...oh wait

    It's the same every year for as long as I can recall.

    I could be mistaken by Sir Andy Carroll's comment, but I think he meant in general. Liverpool have always been rather slow to get their business done in the summer.

    I can't even remember a Summer with all this much transfer action so early. Maybe there has been.

    Or take who????

    Doesnt matter who gets the job, its short term work period until the owner decided otherwise.

    must be mad getting excited at all these signings then realising you have no manager to make them play :)

    Did I see Holiett had signed for Borussia Mönchengladbach earlier ?

    Express are the only ones reporting he has signed a deal. Others saying he is close to agreeing a deal.

    Great signing for only €800k if it goes through.

    Why? Your new owners have made it clear that the manager will have no say anymore over transfers.

    No they didn't!!! If that was the case, Rodgers would still be manager of Swansea!

    As a Pool fan, I'm sad to see him go, but he was a great servant. The sort of player who will always be welcome home to Anfield...

    To be fair, they've massively overspent on players. If any club were willing to do that (and Liverpool certainly have been recently) they could get their business done early. Your Arsenal, United and Tottenham's will be using a bit more savvy to get the best deals possible.

    Best part is he is responding to a non Liverpool fan.

    Hoilett to Gladbach for €800k is done according to most German journos I follow.

    The Twitter ignorance is unreal tonight if you type Junior Hoilett into the search. Enjoy the stupidity.

    Just people pretending to know about football when all they need to do is have one look at the Bundesliga table from last season. Hope he does well.

    What a steal at that price , it's a crime to pay millions for the likes of bebe and you see a better player going for that.

    As far as lack of ambition , ignorant is right there a champions league team in one of the best leagues in football, some great talent playing out their.

    Iv heard before the German league has the highest attendances in Europe , it's pretty entertaining to watch from what Iv seen of it on Espn on occasions too.

    Would have thought, and no disrespect meant here at all, that he would have been picked up by a higher profile club for such a low fee.

    Good luck to him, good league to ply your trade in

    Commented on it an hour ago on Twitter. Mind boggles with some people. Lack of ambition? He just joined a Champions League club. Lol, that isn't lacking ambition and is willing to play abroad. He'll be a much better player for it. I wish him and 'gladbach all the best next season, lot of people outside of Germany don't realise the quality of their football. Himself and Xhaka are too very, very good signings and I can't wait to see them in action next season.

    Off topic but I've literally only just realised -Ade- = El LoCo Ade.

    I feel dumb.

    He was that price because his contract was up and he is under 23 so it is compensation.

    He also played in Germany and scored against monchengladbach so they were well aware of him.

    Still surprising though that he wasn't really linked to many English clubs lately.

    Had been hoping Wenger had plans to snap up Hoilett this summer. Disappointing news.

    Who do you think Wenger will sign this Summer?

    On paper it doesn't look a bad team. Not sure about Ramsay, Ox and Walcott are ok, if Walcott could use his pace properly.

    Is Gibbs good enough?

    Verthongen wouldn't have been a bad buy for ye, could cover LB too.
