Wesley Sneijder is transferring to a Qatari club, presumably also to die, in his case it'll be heat stroke

Nah dude he'll just play in those air conditioned stadiums that they definitely have under the artificial clouds that also definitely exist

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.

He's actually legitimately consistently good at one thing and that's being a defensive midfielder/adventurous centre back, but imo when he plays further forward than a role that requires him to win possession/foul people and then pass the ball to someone better, he reveals his own weaknesses and tbh most of his weaknesses are mental, in his inability to recognize the limitations of his own game and play within them.

That all being said, he's the only defensive midfielder in the squad so I don't want to lose him without a replacement, and since he's so overhyped I would prefer to sell him for big money rather than let him leave on a free but oh well :shrug:


PS no hard feelings on Coutinho, he gave us a ton of games and goals, he was for the most part a professional about wanting to leave and we sold him for an enormous sum of money, gj everyone involved

What is it with African strikers other than Drogba who just can't do it in the Prem?

United bought Mame Diouf as a striker and now he's a quality right wing back for insanely bad Stoke.

Demba Ba scored 36 goals in 66 Prem games before joining Chelsea.

Mkhitaryan coming the other way would make things more interesting and in the end could be good if he ever plays as well as he did at dortmund

I'm sure this player swap deal, like all other rumoured player swap deals, is definitely real and will happen

I’d argue he wouldn’t make Liverpool any better because they don’t need more goals they need less conceding of goals.

On the other hand we used to have four really good attackers which allowed some rotation and now we only have three, so adding Sanchez to replace Coutinho would help the squad remain consistent over the course of a full season.

Where would he play when Liverpool already have Firminho, Mane, and Salah who play the same role?

Squad rotation and competition would help Liverpool remain more consistent over the course of the season, which is made more difficult by the fact that Coutinho left

Yeah, I'm curious about this as well. He's scored 2 in 9 in the league this season. I can't remember the last league game he started and he's been shite all season. It does leave us a little light on numbers, but I would rather see some of the young players get a run than Sturridge, who clearly doesn't fit into our system at the moment.

Also Ings seems to be Klopp's preferred backup striker at the moment anyway


Bacon Terrorist posted:

Was the rumour he was actually injured with the sad brains all false? Like, not Clarke Carlisle style but I heard he had found god and wasn’t interested in football anymore.

there was an amazing rumour that he thought scoring goals was an affront to Christian faith or something but I'm pretty sure it was just a good joke someone made up on facebook
