Imagine it's different from the leaks

LMAO! That's what I thought at first look!

Oh, I misunderstood you

When did Mourinho prefer Mikel to Essien?

welcome

Got to admire the genius of Orwell then! Amazing work by him

Hope not. He's got too much creative potential to be held back there.

I know, it's because we're owned by Roman. However I'm simply saying, facts don't give a true reflection on how things are.

Pirlo is a great holding player. We should've gotten him in as replacement on a free, so we could have a backup to Mikel

Cristiano Ronaldo: Bought at £12million, sold at £80million My point being is, while these facts portray us in a good light, we're not innocent over spending. We've overpaid a lot over recent years, so we shouldn't be so hypocritical. Also. Take into account player-price inflation.. Essien would be worth £30 million & Drogba would be around the same. Total of near £60 million at least by now.

Exactly. Brilliant post & summed up his role perfectly.

Rumour at the moment: Away kit will be unveiled tomorrow.

I retract my Mikel comment earlier on further reflection. Mikel is one of the best holding midfield players in the league at the moment. Most consistent, improved and reliable players we've had in recent years.

Not saying I condone for the £50million for Torres. But if Torres isn't worth that money, Henderson & Carroll aren't by a miles.. That's my point, not the actual money

Di Santo failed to make an impression in any of his loan teams. Look at him now, still not good. Rajkovic is having problems with getting a work permit afaik. Hope you're wrong about Kakuta & Bruma though.

£23million isn't a bad fee for Suarez in context of the other 2. He's been a great signing for them (hate to say it).

Yes he is, no doubt about it. Essien was better pre-injury though. I think I might be a bit naiive in saying this, but I think he could recapture that form he had as a holding. Mikel is younger though, so that's a benefit in itself. It's a hard pick for me.

Haha yeah yeah. It's because they bought English, so everyone will ignore the price.

Yeah, but since there's no word on that front, we should assume its Sneijder we're looking at.

Nah I mean.. Henderson + Carroll = £55million. At least we paid a price for a proven world class player..

Yeah, but you gotta be realistic. Inter will laugh if we offer Kalou and Malouda. A 30 year old and a substitute player to replace one of their main playmakers. Not sure who, Essien realistically. . In a dream world, Jack Rodwell. The why, to secure a player like Sneijder, who would be more important.

I like Essien. He's a great man & player, but he's 28 and is looking like someone who's out of their prime. I really want us to give him another full season to try and recapture the Bison form. For this reason I'd rather we gave them Mikel & Malouda. Mikel can be replaced.

LMAO!! He's off to Real?! Hahahaha :541:

By the way guys. Fun Liverpool fact. Carrol + Henderson > Torres. F*cking LOL!
