Closer to 25 actually. Borini was unlucky with 2 bad injuries in the first year. He'd still recoup 8m or so if he sold him.

If you want to knock his transfers I think last year was worse than the first year. Don't rate Aspas at all and Moses didn't work out on loan either.

Allen and Borini are good enough to be in the squad

I thought they were committee signings?

I'll say it again, Rodgers had Liverpool playing some of the best football in my lifetime but the signings have all been poor besides Danny S. coutinho can be hit or miss but no doubt a very good signing for the price paid. But the rest are all bad or reserve judgement signings.

Liverpool flattered to deceive last season by playing something like 41 games, they'll find it tougher this season, and lose Suarez and It's a hopeless case.

Jesus your right we should pull out of the champions league and get a petition going to keep Suarez

Hey all Arsenal supporter here , I just wanted to know why do Liverpool seem to have a chip on there shoulder when it comes to Arsenal and our players ?

We don't, that chip on that shoulder is reserved for United.

Here is a list of Strikers/Forwards who we could a target

El Shaawawy - would be risky because of Injury problems
Reus - No chance of happening
Griezmann
Cavani
Morata
Jese Rodriguez
Vela
Remy
Bony
Huntelaar
Iturbe
Callejon
Lukaku
Balotelli
Bacca
Martinez
Aubameyang
Higuain - Im not a fan of him

I hear Cavani is good. Ive yet to see it though.

My dream signing for this window, and the last window......and the window before that has been Jackson Martinez. I feel like tonly person in the world that likes the guy. Couldnt understand how he wasnt starting at the WC. I feel like im taking crazy pills.

Griezmann would suit our style of play down to the ground. It would be a crime to not be in for him. Everything about the guy works for us. Hes a young, technical, talented footballer with a good work ethic.
I am genuinely surprised that we are not in there and over paying for him.

I dont care about Sanchez, he didnt want to come, getting CL place has lifted our signing power but were not in that zone yet.

We have CL and we have money and we have time. We've bought quickly and effectively so far. Keep the heads up Pandas

Exactly.

Is there anyone who doesn't now think that Allen was a good signing?

Yes, his fee was high, but his wages are very low, and he still has years ahead of him.

He is a player that you wouldn't mind having in our first 11 in 2 or 3 positions and he is also a player who probably won't kick up a stink at being a squad player.

If we are going to have squad players, Allen is exactly the kind of squad player we need.

Aye Allen came in at the run in and is a fine player. Nothing spectacular but just a solid squad player. He cost £15m and will probably be with us for another few years yet and is on relatively low wages I'd imagine, hardly one to beat Rodgers for. Borini is good enough for our squad but if we want to sell him getting our money back shouldn't be much of a problem either.

Tough to judge Rodgers, this transfer committee has caused a lot of uncertainty on who signs who. We know they type of player Rodgers likes so its probably easy to see who are his signings, Sakho I cant imagine is his, he is too clumsy with the ball at his feet.

Look at the signings he really hasn't spent much, if you want to judge him, judge him after this window when he will have spent circa £100m

What zone?

Allen has contributed almost nothing so far. He may go on to be a good signing but as it stands, that £15m could have been spent much better.

When life gives you Oranges make gif posts.

Possibly a bit late in the day, but what I'd love J Henry to come out and say, along the lines of what he said last year when Suarez wanted to leave, "since contracts in England do not count for much, we are taking the position that since we cannot adequately replace Luis Suarez with enough proven, quality signings, therefore weakening our team, whilst simultaneously teams like Arsenal and Chelsea have significantly improved their teams, Luis Suarez is not for sale".

Would take some cojones to do that but I think it's the type of decision that needs to be made!

:rolleyes: Would some people just accept he is gone, it is beyond speculation its only a matter of time now before it becomes reality with Sanchez sold.
