Bony's not terrible, just a bit pointless on top of three perfectly good strikers.
Responsible for one of the best backheel assists I've ever seen though (and that includes Berbatov's catalogue of them!)

I don't know if this is new information but the Remy deal has fallen through.
Remy has never failed a medical. So why now??? Why?????????
If that was in reply to me I never said he was a terrible player, just that he would be a terrible signing. We'd lose all our tactical flexibility because he can only play one position and even in it he's really static.
If not in reply to me...carry on!
He very clearly did. Have to agree to disagree.
It wasn't in reply to you, dw. Just a general comment.
So why don't they just bring Origi straight to the first team instead of loaning him?
like you said...your definition of world class is just plain old 'had a good game' in my book.
still very raw...and as shown in the WC might be very good for a bit but then either out of the game, or not doing the basics right for the rest of match
Again, have to agree to disagree.
he had a failed medical at Chelsea some time back...something to do with heart
The reason we got the deal done is because we're allowing him to stay at Lille for a season.
I would like to know why he failed it.
if its the heart problem...very difficult to get insurance especially with what happened to Muamba in recent times
When did that happen? I don't remember that.
2012...he was seen at Cobham and very strong rumours about the reason why nothing came of it was something to do with the heart
If there is a known heart condition, then its understandable.
Summer 2014 for Liverpool:
Losing Suarez
Rejected by Sanchez
Big money spent on half a dozen players
None of which are top quality right now
Missed out on Ben Davies
Bertrand a real possibility
Lallana injured
Borini refusing to go
Remy deal collapsing

I don't remember reading that anywhere and a Google search brings up nothing. Does not really matter though.
nothing has been confirmed...but on transfer deadline day 2012 he went to Cobham amid strong rumours in France that Chelsea were signing him. Chelsea TV stayed on air after midnight ready to announce a deal...but nothing happened. Nothing has been said officially why it didnt happen or why he failed medical but the rumour started about heart and being a few months after the Muamba incident then understandable.
That of course isnt to say that it has cleared up and liverpool have other concerns.
It was Marseille but eventually they signed him.
and also at Chelsea....the heart condition had allegedly cleared up but they were not willing to take the risk...if it has cropped up again then it sounds as if Liverpool are not prepared to risk it either but for the players sake I hope it is something else like an injury that can be sorted
I guess this is down to due diligence but it's a shocker for the player.

Interestingly, Spurs only finished last season 3 points worse off than the year before. Thought it would be more than that.
For only 8 million I reckon he's worth the risk.
A 5 year, £80k a week contract, isn't worth the risk.
Is that phrase here for the long haul then? it's really cringey.
Should offer a very low basic salary and make it basically pay as you play. I can understand the club's hesitance after what happened with Doni.
Your forgetting the part that Remy can choose not to sign the contract.
I said we should offer. Of course he might refuse.
Why has Brenton given up on Borini so quickly? He had that injury in his first season, then was shipped out on loan, so he's hardly had a real chance to impress. I think he'd make a good squad player. Are the Pool fans here happy to see him sold, or think he deserves another chance?
Shame for Remy.
Don't know about most Liverpool fans but while I'd be happy for him to stay as a squad player if the £14m offer from Sunderland is true I think we should bite their hand off. He's got his uses but ultimately is a bit too lacking technically.
He most definitely will when there will be someone else out there who will give him a big contract.
Whatever.
World Class? I am beginning to wonder what that means now, discarded by Chelsea...hmm.
Come to think of it by those guidelines Sterling, Sturridge, Coutinho, Lallana are also world class, actually so is Mignolet who also like De Gea isn't his country's number 1.
