I've seen rumours that he's not interested.

There's no point getting someone in who doesn't want to be here.

This thread is going to be renamed the 'Ozil picture thread' if we keep this up.

this really should be the end of any debate.

I don't even know why the others are Moaning about the Money.

I mean, after the Failed Carroll-Downing Buying Spree, I don't think FSG has sanctioned any other Overprice Buy.

Most of the Buys we've had since then are either Discounted or within reasonable Valuation. That's why I'm quite Surprise that alot of Posters here are showing Outrage for the touted Fee.

I'm more inclined to believe, it's actually 15-18M + Addons that goes to 25M, in case of Achievements like Winning the Title, etc.

Now, if you are actually Lukewarm to Lallana joining LFC, that I could understand.

There's been alot of Clamor here since the Kono-Saga, that FSG should Open their Wallets and get Rodgers the Player he wants.

Since, this is Without a Doubt a Rodger's Buy. The Manager, that almost gave us our long-sought League Title.

So now it almost becomes a Question of, do you Trust Rodgers' Judgement on Players he needs?

Shaqiri giving a master class today- would love him in the red of Liverpool.

Would take Rodriguez at LB as well.

Master class? The more I see of him the more I think we already have better than him in the squad.

Lallana is a good player. He's a proper footballer and can play in a number of positions.

It's just the fee that's debatable.

And comparing him in anyway to Charlie Adam is ridiculous.

Lallana can run.

kevohmsford · 01-07-2014 05:47PM

Should be interesting to see how Emre Can does and how much he plays. I think he might play a good few games. He is the kind of player we needed. Looks like a decent ball winner and can run forward with the ball from deep in midfield.

What game are you watching? He's the best player on the pitch.

I must be thick or something cause to me he's been useless in every game I have seen him in this world cup.

To be fair, until Googling his name a month ago, I thought he was around 22-23.

You seem to be having a bad day Vanolder...

Raif Severance · 01-07-2014 05:52PM

Not as Negative as Fescue, but I understand where he's coming from.

I'm actually more Impressed with what I've seen from Mexico's Aquino and Herrera, than anything I've seen from Shaqiri, in this World Cup.

With that said, I do think Drmic has been the Swiss' Best Player.

Most people want him because he has a very good assist record in Germany last season, knocked in a few goals too I think, haven't seen him play so can't comment. I wouldn't judge a player solely on a world cup, for good performances or bad.

Bingo. It's a very small sample to take anything major from.

Rodriguez was highly rated even before the World Cup. Wolfsburg aren't short of cash though so wouldn't be cheap.

Can attack, defend and is 21. What's not to like apart from his silly ponytail?

I know one person who'd pay 25m for Lallana's hair alone, so I'd say at this moment in time, Hefferboi is delighted.

Lovely! Better than Jones' imo. Hendo is up there as well but I think Lallana will just edge it as the best in the squad. Suso is a bit hot and cold if he returns and I'll have to see what he goes for closer to the start of the season before I make a judgement.

I think Emre Can could be a dark horse though. Lovely hair but it's the style that counts and at the moment he's behind the rest but I can see him mixing it up when it comes to the crunch time.

This world cup is the first real opportunity I have had to look at some of these players close up. Its a small sample size of course so I'm just basing my comments on what I'm watching. I wouldn't be excited about Shaqiri or Rodriguez on that basis.

Nuri Sahin · 01-07-2014 06:01PM

Wolfsburg will sell Alberto Del Rio's personal ring announcer for 20M.

Washington Irving · 01-07-2014 06:06PM

Origi starts for Belgium tonight.

Not really. If we can afford to buy a few players in that bracket then it's not really a big deal to overpay for Lallana. If signing him for that money restricts us in bringing in a marquee player, then it is an issue.

Nuri Sahin · 01-07-2014 06:11PM

I really hope these Rojo to Liverpool rumours stop.

Yes but are his corners alone worth£10m?

See?

Too close to call, imo;-)

Ponytails are manly, glorious and never to be scoffed at. You clearly are called Adam or Daniel or Jordan or some such...
