Yeah he's been great; certainly better than Biglia has been for Milan, which is who he replaced!

Speaking of Lazio, it looks like they've signed Caceres from Hellas

https://twitter.com/OfficialSSLazio/status/950339356224638976

There were a lot of teams in Italy that were considering signing him over the summer but were worried about him being insane and injury prone. He's proved himself at Verona even if they're loving garbage, so I'm not really surprised someone made a move. Just a one year contract too, good bit of business.

Can is not very good. I've said it many times but he's the kind of player who believes he's amazing at everything so he's willing to try those worldy goals and insane passes, and 1 time out of 10 they work and he looks like a highlight reel genius, but the other 9 times he just loses possession with a dumb dribble or shot into the stands or pass over someone's head.

Someone has to fill the wayward hollywood pass role vacated by Gerrard

Emre Can looks like Sami Khedira and the reason everyone thinks they play similarly is a because of racism.

The clear replacement for Emre Can is Marko Gruijic who has featured for Liverpool in the EPL for a duration of ... 13 minutes? Woof.

Grujic does have smouldering eyes and is even more reckless with his tackling, so this checks out.

In all seriousness, I don't know what the heck Liverpool are going to do with that kid.

he refused to leave because "he didn't want to dislodge his family from up here" i.e. we pay him too much, so he got banished to the development squad

supposedly there was a deal to send him on loan to boro (maybe?) a few windows ago but he said no to that too, despite his local bullshit

Can could be good if he found some consistency. He's got everything you want in a central midfielder; he's strong, good in the air, good in the tackle, good close control, powerful shot, decent short and long passer...he just seems to take the wrong option a bit too much. Personally I'd rather we keep him as he's always fit, versatile, and could potentially get a lot better but I'm not going to shed too many tears should (when) he goes.

I think Henderson is the one that needs replacing in the midfield more than anything. Like Can, there is a player in him, but he has long patches of being bad for us and they're fast becoming about the same as his long patches of being good. I think that heel injury will always stop him from being consistent and he lacks the defensive properties that we'd ideally have as the deepest of the three midfielders.

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
Henderson has that loving annoying trait that Gerrard had where if Liverpool are behind in a game he would take it upon himself to try win it and just shoot whenever he gets the ball.

For Italian stuff, yeah. But he’s not particularly good outside of Italy.

Seems like Sanchez to City for a fee in this area is definitely happening, though. I just hope Wengy wraps it up soon so that Arsenal can get some players in.
