Oh yeah, I forgot about this. I think England were pretty stupid not to cap him properly. Yeah he's inconsistent but it's clear he's immensely talented.

I like that it was him being a united player and not his abject failure to cut it at a top club that turns you off

Zaha's signing was non-canon imho so Liverpool are welcome to him.

Ewar Woowar posted:

I actually quite like the idea of Zaha if I'm honest- he's not especially consistent but when Mane is back he seems like he'd be a devastating player to come off the bench and run at tired defenders. He's probably cost a disgusting amount of money though.

Zaha is probably the worst backup for Mane we could get. Would cost far too much and has no guarantee of an end product.

quote:

Also we really don't need a left back. Milner is honestly one of the best in the league there so it makes no sense to bring someone else in just because Milner is new to the role.

Klopp's made public that he doesn't like the January window, so I'd only expect us to get someone if he's available right now. That being said, there's no harm in bringing that player in now and giving him six months to learn from Milner, especially if Moreno's position is further up the pitch.

Plus staying in Madrid is probably worth a ton of money in endorsements to Ronald.

Other points:

Zaha is garbage.

Anderson was first choice for United a decade ago, and he's somehow only 28 and is complete garbage.

Luiz Adriano has been signed by Spartak, pending a medical which he'll somehow fail I'm sure.

Delofeu to Milan on loan seems to be happening? Did he turn to total crap or something, I remember him easily being Everton's best attacking player at some point.

He was good in Ukraine or wherever the gently caress Milan bought him from. I suspect he'll go back to scoring at least some goals but he never really fit in to the formation(s) that Milan had, especially since Bacca and then Lapadula got on form.

Some Chinese club has offered Witsel a poo poo-ton of money, so he may be moving there. He was either going to join Juve for free next summer, or maybe in the January window for a small fee if it could be worked out with Zenit.

Also, Cerci on loan to Bologna seems to be happening.

Stones will be fine, everybody forgets that Lampard and Ferdinand were both total shite for west ham for several years, and Ferdinand was crap at leeds. It's incredibly rare to find a young defender who has everything he needs *and* can hold 90 minutes concentration twice a week.

He makes more mistakes now than he did when he started.

For every Cole there's a dozen Titus Brambles. He'll always be a liability.
