Liverpool close to signing Oussama Assaidi

8. Assaidi turned 24 on Wednesday and shares a birthday with a few familiar names - Gillespie (American politician Ed Gillespie, not Gary), Aldridge (American musician Tommy Aldridge, not John) and Evans (golfer Jon Evans, not Roy).

Liverpool are like California man, they seem to have been in evolutionary stasis ever since they last competed for the league. Whatever they do seems totally at odds with the modern world. Surely their fans must be cringing, I certainly am.

That reads like something you would find in a 1989 Panini sticker album. Who gives a feck about Ed Gillespie. So, so out of touch.
 
The opta stats approach from last season didnt work.. Time for FM/Fifa ratings.

They'll be signing Sherman Cardenas next.
