He was a star player at Wrexham, got a move to a premiership Swansea, never played and his career went into free fall. I will be intersted to see how he gets on.

Quite possibly tiny compared to others around them (can't be bothered to check but know it'd been low in recent years) Surely it's far closer to the responsible way we'll all like all clubs to be run, rather than be rich man's playthings towards the top and the possessions of sharks towards the bottom...? Where a club builds itself up with the successes it has along the way. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomThomDrum Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 The Pool secure Alisson thankfully. Now he better prove he is worth all that cash.... the amount Klopp is spending if they don’t improve and potentially challenge there will be awkward questions. A different type of pressure will rise....twill be interesting to see how it pans out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fanbase has no sense of entitlement (yet). This is a buzz and we’re enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Mancs on ‘ere wanted to see him out in Jan having predicted us finishing 7th. We’ll finish no higher than 3rd. First 11 looks better on paper, but the squad is still weaker than our rivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finish 4th or worse and there will be grumbles for sure. Needs to kick on and needs that elusive trophy at this stage. Will be interesting to see if they go back sniffing about Lyon and if they go for another defender too... If the players he has now click they could be a threat.

Or perhaps Shaqiri being Shaqiri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man with more red cards than goals complaining about Stokes top goalscorer for not stepping up? He was with Stoke for around 2-3 years and only moved when they got relegated. Never heard of any issues with him while he was there. I'm sure he will be fine, he knows it's a good move for him. He isn't expecting to be in the first 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Klopp won't stand for it, but I'm less sure than you it won't happen. I'm just not sure how happy he'll be sat on the bench most of the time, and being overshadowed by bigger stars. Charlie Adam has just had a pop at him for not showing up at Stoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at Stoke in the first place cos of a bad attitude, and was pretty irregular for Stoke too til last season. There's no doubt he's got talent, but I'm far from sure he's applying himself as he should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooderson Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hopefully the Reds get Fekir in shortly. Good to have all business done in July. The feeding frenzy in a week or so is going to be mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
