Liverpool 2014/15 | WARNING: Contains strong amounts of Scouse nonsense

- Start date
He's been excellent for City this season and helps their homegrown quota. Why would they sell?
He's out of contract.
Rumoured team: Mignolet; Markovic, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno; Henderson, Lucas; Gerrard, Borini, Coutinho.
Borini starting is shocking.
Borini starting is shocking.
Sterling?
Apparently he hasn't trained and will be rested again.
Well that's shit. Don't see us getting a result without him...
Ah fair enough. Would be a good signing. Underrated.
Would be a shite signing. He's a good player, but if we bought him it would be because we saw him as a key player. He isn't going to swap being a squaddie at City for being a squaddie here. Not only that, but the only attackers that we should sign are ones that fit in with how our attacking players play and ones that offer goals. He does neither. We need players who are on a similar level to Sterling, Coutinho and Sturridge, not ones who are worse.
He's in the shop window. Liverpool won't just send him packing for £4-5m to Italy if they think they can squeeze £13-15m out of a club he'll actually agree to go to.
If he isn't going to perform well, then how does his value increase?
Does your team normally get leaked a day before the game?
I think the idea is he's giving him the opportunity to perform well, if he does he might catch someones eye and get a move. I don't subscribe to the idea, for the sake of £6-7m I'd have binned him in the Summer and probably saved a couple of mil by now in wages.
Yeah, it's been happening for ages now.
Raheem Sterling is close to signing a new long-term deal at the club, according to Sky sources.

It was always going to happen. What's more interesting is what the buyout clause in his contract will be set at considering he will eventually leave.
Anderson is available, he's actually got a great engine if you can get it to start once or twice,
We agree on something!
Seriously though, I agree. He has been in the news aying that this is what he wants to do. Seems like he is putting pressure on the owners.
That's because your temporary memory loss last season regarding Liverpool's recent history has warn off.
Liverpool need to get realistic with their transfer targets and so do the supporters. Milner would be an good signing for Liverpool especially on a free.
I think that him earning twice as much as he is really worth may be the reason.
Don't see us winning with him either. Sunderland get a stupid amount of draws and I think that'll happen again, with or without him.
Yeah.
No he wouldn't.
Christ, how can you start that sack of shite Borini? I watched one of your recent games with a couple of Liverpool supporting mates and they were fuming and swearing everytime he touched the ball. 'Disgrace' was one of the nicest word they had for him
Doesn't look like the 'level' is very good Brendan.
Even Borini starting ahead of Balotelli. So he is definitely done I take it? Unless he turns it around drastically.
Jesus Christ!
Is Lovren injured or just shite?
He's had a groin injury since the Bournemouth cup tie. Echo reported that he is expected to return to our squad tomorrow though.
Fair dues. Will he go straight back in the team?
No, he's shite.
I think (and hope) not. If the above-mentioned rumoured team is anything to go by, it'll be Can, Skrtel and Sakho at the back.
Can, he's shite aswell, if he's a CB then so am I
He isn't though, so...
I thought Can's been one of their better players to be honest. Possibly their best signing.
Better signings certainly, CB, god no.
He was dodgy against Wimbledon at centre back but otherwise has been a breath of fresh air at the back. I'd rather have him in midfield, and I wouldn't pick him if it was 4 at the back, but in a 3 his ability on the ball helps.
I thought Rodgers liked Johnson? He played him 15 times this season before injury and moaned when he did get injured. Wasn't he playing ahead of Manquillo and Flanagan at times? Sounds like fan wishful thinking to me.
Why would the Telegraph, one of a select few trustworthy papers, report something based on wishful thinking?
Why would Rodgers look to sell a player he has consistently played this season when fit when he's already down to one Right Back and had to play Henderson at wingback at times?
Struggling to see where Milner would fit in. Henderson already offers the versatility and box-to-box endurance whilst being captain elect.
