    Not my decision to want Borini out........ I thought Borini would have seen game time over the last month, he hasn't so I'd sooner see him leave than stay unused, better for all concerned imo

    I would agree with this too ! If the player isn't wanted by the manager then it's time for him to move on . I do like the fact he wanted to fight for his place but it's not gonna happen so a move at this stage would be best for him .

    Liverpool step up attempt to land the "new Zlatan Ibrahimovic". Gianluca Scamacca is a 15 year old at Roma, he is free to leave as he is under age - predictably several clubs are after him. He is flipping huge.

    That video is hillarious, he looks about 40 playing against a load of under 10's

    The size of him - he'd probably be better than Brad Jones in goal

    That's fair enough but in the meantime he could do a job or at least be an option on the bench. Sitting at home playing FIFA does nothing for us or his value in the market.

    Lambert - knows why he was bought, game here and there and coming on when the bus is parked and the Plan A isn't working, he'll be fine.
    And who exactly is parking the bus in terror at our attacking play exactly? If Lambo is there to smash open defences who park the bus against us he's going to have a quiet year.

    Balotelli - I wouldn't underestimate what he can do alongside Sturridge
    I think you're clutching at straws to be honest but I'm also clutching at the same straw. Surely he'll click with Sturridge, if not he's 100% gone.

    Really depends on whether what's best for Borini is judged in football or financial terms. He's earning £50,000 (€63,500) per week with LFC and has 2.5 years left on his contract at which time he'll just have turned 26. It seems to me that he believes he can be a top player and will not move to a mid table club (we'll he's in a mid table club at the moment!!) or any club he thinks will be a step down unless they are going to pay him silly money. There is little downside to him staying and trying to develop so that if circumstances change (BR goes, injuries create an opportunity etc) he will get his chance. If at the end of the next 2.5 years he has picked up £6.5m and can move for free I'm sure he'll get over the disappointment of not making it at Liverpool and will be snapped up by one of the Italian teams who'll give him a decent 5 year contract and he can then play away in the knowledge he gave being a top player the best shot he could.

    All the downside here is LFC's which is why I think the way BR is treating him is very short-sighted.

    Rafa Benitez: "In the past fortnight I have rejected two offers."
    Gazzetta dello Sport claiming those clubs were LFC & Valencia.

    3-2 win of not 4-2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,328 ✭✭✭Magico Gonzalez


    We had a good 50 to 60 mins against Bournemouth, and just as well because we were on the back foot for the last half hour.

    I'd say Arsenal 3-1 or 2-1

    He absolutely batters his own team mate in his last celebration :pac:

    If Rafa has made public that he has been offered the Liverpool job recently I think he will have now burnt any bridge back to the club under the current owners.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    There is no way Rafa was offered the Liverpool job in the last 2 weeks.


    Rafa leaking stuff to the press and is getting name out there now for when he get sacked at Napoli in the coming weeks.

    I sadly dont think we'll beat Arsenal in our current state, im thinking 2-0 to them.

    Doesn't say what Jon though does it? Defensive coach at LFC most probably or we could bring back the old days of joint managers.

    I'm responding to the question you asked, how Lambert & Balotelli feel about the latest tactics / team set up.

    My response regarding Lambert is exactly that, a response to what you asked.

    Are you still using the old boards style (I am)? This shows just the twitter link, but the new default style that most people use shows the embedded tweet as well as the link.

    That's it I'd say.

    I HATE the current boards design. Worse than BETA Guardian and that's saying something.

    He mentioned he had offers. It's the newspaper that's naming (speculating on?) the clubs.
