Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 - Mod Warning in OP, 10/12

I'd like to see the same starting XI that was put out against Stoke but maybe bring in Lalanna for Couthinio.

Agent Coulson · 04-12-2014 08:35PM

Midfield of.

Lucas

---Can

Henderson--

Lallana

To start the game with Gerrard and Coutinho to come on with 20 to go.

Sterling off Lambert.

Hidalgo · 04-12-2014 09:23PM

Allen might start v Sunderland. He's been fairly decent lately.
I assume Lucas will start v Basle so if he starts at the weekend and then away to Utd I make that 7 starts on the trot????
If my sums are correct I wouldnt mind seeing
Can
Allen Henderson

as the midfield trio for Sunderland.

Markovic and Baloteeli haven't failed medicals so not sure how you say it doesn't add up.

I doubt I could enlighten you in that case.

Yeah weird comparison.

Ah, Rarnes, I am fond of you so I'll explain. The claim was that Liverpool can't afford to take risks like Remy. I would be of the opinion that it was not a huge risk, financially certainly and definitely no more risk then the investment in the likes of Marko and Balo.

Every signing is a risk, it doesn't add up to me that Balotelli was seen as a better bet then Remy, who is far more suited to Liverpools style of play then Balotelli was.

To be even more blunt about it, I am comparing the risk of signing Remy who may or may not break down with an injury at some point with the potential that was bought in Markovic rather then proven ability and the huge character issue risks associated with Balotelli's signing.

They are all risks, which would have been worth the punt in your opinion? Its not like its a bank breaking transfer? I can understand pulling out of the deal if they felt strongly enough about whatever he failed the medical over. Thats fair enough, my only argument was that he was any more of a risk then some of the other signings.

Between this and posting in Liverpool match threads when your own teaming are playing, you must be spending more time in here than the United threads m1Ck.

Methinks M!ck is living in a predominantly man utd house hold and is secretly a LFC fan.

Coming on here is his release amongst other things. How else could you explain him watching LFC matches all the time even though they are not on TV and hanging around here.

Its OK M!ck. You're one of us. Come out of the closet buddy.

Markovic was signed for potential. Tbh, I'm ok with that. However, if it's at the detriment of other positions it isn't too wise. It's massive money. Hendserson was ridiculed and Lucas before him for big fees.

Ballotelli was a risk but funningly enough, finacially we probably wouldn't make a massive loss if we sold him.

Remy had issues with his heart afaik, and why would a club take a risk? If something happened him I'd imagine there's insurance etc to think about.

I'd imagine it wasnt a decision taken likely as Rodgers really wanted him and he would have suited his preferred system

Interesting explanation on how the main stand will be constructed.

I agree. I've no idea why we pulled out of the Remy deal. 8mil for him was great business compared to going for Balotelli. They never even said what the injury was.

I heard one rumour as to what happened which I probably shouldn't say here, but the fact that Chelsea signed him weeks later just baffles me even more.

Very disappointed we didn't sign Remy as I was delighted at the time when it looked like a done deal.

GotTheTshirt · 04-12-2014 10:45PM

Thanks a million to all involved today. I've had a tough day but readig over the posts since this morning has put a smile on my face.

I didn't think it was possible but I REALLY REALLY want to beat United more than ever now.

I thought it was well known that he failed a medical due to some sort of heart issue, which was known about dating back to his Marseille days?

For Chelsea Remy is a bit part player and that's why mourihno signed him.
For Rodgers he wanted a regular and if his heart was the risk, presuming that if he overplays him this is where the main concern stems from IMO

Agent Coulson · 04-12-2014 11:23PM

Today at the stadium announcement

Rossiter must be really really be thought well of to be in with this lot of legends

Lacazette scored again tonight. 12 in 16 games for Lyon this season.

Charlie19 · 04-12-2014 11:32PM

An all British line up there, only Rodgers from this Island.

That's pretty cool. I had no idea they were building it that way, I would have assumed they were knocking it down and building a new one.

Utopia Parkway · 04-12-2014 11:36PM

Apparently Liverpool are ready to offer Martin Odegaard a 5 year contract.

Agent Coulson · 04-12-2014 11:37PM

Back in full training with the squad today.

Looked really good the one game I saw. Then again he's a level above his peers at a young age which is always a caveat. Freddy Adu and Danny Mwanga looked like world beaters at the same age

Still, happy we're going for it

Agent Coulson · 04-12-2014 11:52PM

So we have signed the Irish Messi this week and have offered the Norwegian one a contract nice.

He looks a bit frail to me, then so does David Silva

Hollister11 · 05-12-2014 12:03AM

Finally were going to have a proper stadium. 14 years from when we first tried.

and he's still only 15...

To be honest he must be a pretty tough kid to already be playing regular senior football.

What Liverpool player would get into the utd team? Sterling? Sturridge? Henderson? They wouldn't be gauranteed first teamers based on other players being in form. Although Sturridge for rvp would be nice.

Ah this old chestnut, the good times are back boys and how I've missed them. Big match thread coming up soon, evrybody better sap up! On both sides.
