Their feckin heads have gone, all talk of buying to fit the system and vision and planning and conveniently forgetting they've just signed Mario Ballofkintelli
You have to wonder what Real Madrid found to get Hernandez instead.
Feels like we've all had a go on the good looking slapper and Man Utd was the 'lucky' bloke who ended up wedding her.

My mouth burns a bit when I say this, but Liverpool play the most stylish and intelligent football in the league.
My apologies Empire. I thought you were just diving in in support of Gas
Maybe Gas calling other people's posts 'utter bullshit' just because he doesn't happen to agree with them since they are contrary to his beliefs, also isn't the way to go ? Not surprising it got a rise is it

Honestly - Not at all. He'll improve you sure, but it's genuinely hard to imagine any other player of such quality making as small a difference as he is likely to do at your club. What problem is he there to solve? Maybe he's the magic glue that somehow means the rest of your players look like an actual attacking unit, but that'd be a surprise.
By the time you start gathering steam, I wager you'll be too far behind to matter. And even then, I'd expect you to merely keep the pace moreso than clawing back points.
I'd have preferred Falcao to Balotelli, but the timing of it wasn't to be. Doesn't mean I am suddenly unhappy with Balotelli. I am glad we weren't pinning our hopes on deadline day. Been burned on that strategy in the past. But Falcao at yours? Meh. I don't see what he's going to do Van Persie wouldn't. Superstar sideways transfer.
of course you lot are bitter.
We will not win the title this season. Chelsea or City will. And there is not a whole lot wrong with the team. Lots of injuries in midfield which will get sorted soon. We will be in top 4 easy.
Dont think we needed Falcao...but he is certainly good to have...heck we have the money so why not.
How do I request a name change?gasmanc will be along in a minute to burn the rest of you.

Gas is an idiot.

He's a witch, burn him with fire.
Must be new around here, he will learn.
Criticise the post not the poster, shit post BTW.
I was agreeing with a post made by Rafeteria so I'm not sure what you are on about here.
QPR in for Borini for £10m, that will be good business providing he goes this time.
The post I quoted you on, it's shit, don't shoot the messenger, just saying
Just post a message with @brewlio in it and ask him to arrange it.
not arsed to read what they said tbh...I stand by what I said though.
Did too.
Every club has their over-excitables. Naturally a few will get giddy when you find out you're signing one of the best #9's in the world.
In reality, I think he's going to help get the goals we're missing, especially as his moment and finishing is a level above both RvP and Rooney, so he could make the difference between CL and no CL.
Title? No chance.
Explain
You've made one or two astute buys. LVG is a great tactician. Include a few promising youngsters and get a bit of form going and you never know what can happen. As some have posted the team that beat Arsenal 8-2 two years ago was nearly the same as the one that lost to MK Dons so there really isn't much in this. Get confidence flowing and everyone back on form and that's half the battle.
Explain
You will end being called Mildred asking for a name change round here, brewlio's not shy at arranging it either
So a quick question @Liverpool posters, who do you guys reckon have the greater strike force ?
Ballotelli - Sturridge - Lambert Vs Rooney - RVP - Falcao
Love to hear your take on this @Rafateria
I'm hoping that'll be the case. I certainly think we'll perform better post-January than in the next few months to come.
Right now, nobody can really blame the likes of yourselves, City and Chelsea to be worrying about us in terms of what's going on on the pitch. However, going back a few years ago when City were building a team, signing Aguero, Toure and Silva in one summer, there were many of us that felt the same. As football fans we hardly ever look at the bigger picture. With that in mind, can you honestly see us continuing this way with players like Di Maria, Falcao, Rooney, Mata, Herrera, Shaw and RVP at our disposal, among others? under a manager with a track record like LVG has?
This isn't about overtaking the mighty Liverpool or anything either, just in general.
I think he is here to solve the problem of Van Persie being fecked myself, he hasn't looked good, and the reports of injuries and operations persist. I would suggest Falcao being here means if VP needs this operation and to be out for 6 months, he can now have it. With Hernandez gone we will persist with 4 strikers, Rooney/Falcao/Welbeck and Wilson.
I'm asking for a name change because I was threatened with being hunted down by a certain gasmanc. I've already got my family out of the country.You will end being called Mildred asking for a name change round here, brewlio's not shy at arranging it either

I will tell you who will score the most goals at the end of the season. And it isn't the expensively assembled one.You will end being called Mildred asking for a name change round here, brewlio's not shy at arranging it either

Ah you will be fine he's all mouth that knobhead.
You don't wanna be massaging no egos in here though it's hard enough keeping them grounded even when they're finishing 7th regular, a season with a title challenge has recharged the delusion cells and if we're not careful we could have a mass scouse suicide if they revert to type again. That's not blood I want on my hands brah, SOS Save Our Scousers.
Lot of nonsense talked here.
No direction? Can't even be arsed going in to how that's not true.
We're only spending a lot now to make up for the 20 odd years of underspending. Before this year (a year ago today), Liverpool had spent more than us, so the spending has been quite obviously needed for some time, anybody can see that. How on earth signing top quality players is a negative now, well you'll have to enlighten me.
What's this shit about Liverpool now being the model club? How you're doing things the right way?
Let's compare the teams:
GK: No contest. DDG win.
Now onto defence. So apparently this is our weakest area, we've not strengthened etc., whereas Liverpool have managed to assemble a really strong defence, right?
Manquillo - Lovren - Skrtel - Moreno
VS
Rafael - Jones - Rojo - Shaw
In that second one I see two title winners, a WC finalist and a promising, young LB. A back-line we've not been able to play this season, I might add.VS
Rafael - Jones - Rojo - Shaw
Midfield:
Gerrard
Henderson - Allen
VS
Blind
Herrera - Di Maria
Again, we've not been able to play with these three yet. But come on, apart from Henderson, your midfield is very, very average. In our first three games we've played with Fletcher and Cleverley, and Fletcher and Di Maria in a two-man midfield. Getting an idea as to why we're not playing so well?Henderson - Allen
VS
Blind
Herrera - Di Maria
Attack:
Sterling
Balotelli - Sturridge
VS
Mata - Rooney
Falcao
Sterling is a brilliant player, no doubt there. I rate Sturridge very highly, too. But what they are benefiting from is fully function midfield behind them. I'd love to see how they played with Fletcher and Cleverley behind them.Balotelli - Sturridge
VS
Mata - Rooney
Falcao
Basically, my point is that you're talking shit about United not having a 'team'.
This is the team we've played, pretty much, for our first three games:
DDG
Jones - Evans - Blackett
Valencia - Fletcher - Cleverley - Young
Mata
Rooney - RVP
An alien formation, two useless CMs, two shoehorned wingbacks, one completely unfit striker. Do you really expect that team to have come flying out of the blocks? Let's wait until we have a fully-fit squad, shall we? Before casting wild assertions that United are just throwing money around and hoping some shit sticks. We've obviously not done that. Di Maria - unbelievable player. Falcao - same. Mata- same. Herrera - very, very promising CM. Shaw - same. Blind - a very, very solid CDM. Rojo - an athletic, powerful CB.Jones - Evans - Blackett
Valencia - Fletcher - Cleverley - Young
Mata
Rooney - RVP
I also find it funny that Liverpool fans think they've superseded United, and we'll never be a force again, yet despite this ascension they still aren't title contenders. Lofty ambitions, for sure.

That's a rare crystal ball moment from you.....quoted
If we get our system set the need to simply outgun opponents will be left down to Liverpool.
You're spending big money now because you need to. A lot of the players you rated so highly have now been exposed as nowhere near as good as you once thought. Their successes at Manchester United had more to do with Ferguson's genius rather than their own individual capabilities. & it really is one of those 'better on paper' arguments. These player v player comparisons are boring & pointless. At this particular point in time we are a better team, & will remain so until, or unless, LVG & his expensive assemble of players prove otherwise. That's not me being smug, arrogant, cocky etc. It's how it is.
My point is that we've not been able to put out our best team. Even Prophet Rodgers would be stuck in a mire if he had to put out the XI we've had to in these opening games. Let's see what happens when we get Shaw, Rafael Herrera, Di Maria, Blind, Mata, Rooney and Falcao on the pitch together.
The only players in our team who are overrated are Evans, Rafael and Jones. But they're all still very solid players. Jones, in particular, has a very high ceiling and Rafael, if he could fortheloveofgod maintain some fitness, is also a very good player. Evans is good, but lacks mental fortitude. I don't think Rojo is lacking in the confidence department and Smalling is actually a very good CB. No other players are rated in our team. I'm not going to go near saying Mata is overrated, especially when he's had to play with Young, Valencia, Fletcher and Cleverley. Nobody would look good playing amongst that dross.
IMHO, it's not the players who'll ultimately determine your destiny, it's your manager. Even with all the great players you've had over the past 20 years or so, do you think a lesser manager than Fergie would have achieved just as much as he did ?
No, and I don't expect Fergie levels of success. But give LVG his due, he's more than proved himself, he's a top, top manager. When you've got Mourinho and Guardiola amongst your proteges, you know you're doing something right. He's from the Ajax School of football, once it clicks, it's going to be very good, especially with some of the players available to him now.
So it is Fergusons genius after all and not him buying the premier league in all it's infant years and having the likes of Howard Webb cobbling results together for us, not to mention all those penalties we shouldn't have been given and the extra time minutes the FA granted to United in order for them to overcome opponents.
