Walcott and Coquelin, the problem isn't them being sold, the problem is they weren't sold 4 years ago when it was obvious neither was ever going to be good enough.

Alexis has agreed personal terms with United for some ridiculous amount of money.

Deal now hinging on Mkhitaryan.

Is Cardiff going to play Grujic? I feel like there’s a decent player there but he’s going stale just training in Melwood.

Not sure how I feel about selling Sturridge at this point. The striking options are bare as is unless Liverpool can get Origi back.

Why keep Sturridge? He will only be crocked in your time of need and doesn’t fit Klopp’s system anyway.

There is some truth to that, but wihout him and without Origi, the only non-Firmino option is Danny Ings.

And I don’t see Liverpool being able to buy another good striker this window given the realistic options and FSG’s spending policy.

I like his effort, but I have my doubts about his finishing. It’s very early days so I don’t think the club should give up on him, but I don’t see him as a viable backup right now.

The weird thing about Walcott is he still has much more potential than Ross Barkley so it's as bad a deal as it seems for Everyone.

The thing about Theo that always made me lol was he successfully got Wenger to pay him £100,000 a week and he can’t even take his loving man on without reverting to ye olde playground tactic of ‘kick it past the defender and beat him in a foot race’ which is easy to defend against in professional football, funnily enough.

If Allardyce uses him right and his chances come where he doesn’t have enough time to think about what to do he’ll score them a few goals. As good as Mirallas was for them I guess?

Theo's a good lad and he'll do well at Everton. Hard to believe but he scored 19 goals last season.

Hadn't he played roughly zero times so far this season? I'm pretty sure they have a random fast and totally unskilled 18 year old French kid who can replace 90% of his production

Lemar is the new M’Vila. He’ll be linked to everyone for five years and then he’ll gently caress off to Russia.

Monaco head is on record as saying they dont sell in January and his valuation in the summer for Arsenal was around 90m pounds. He'll probably get moved in summer.

Can't be offside when you start from your own half....Big Sam is just going to have balls lumped over the top for Theo to chase and it'll probably work well enough.

Exactly. Imo he's gonna finally get a proper run up front, do a respectable if unspectacular job for 18 months and then get replaced by someone actually good around the time his pace starts to leave, it seems like a good deal to me
