It's for the better.

Jose wants Rodgers to do well.

Hernandez, a player quite similar to Borini in playing style and build, didn't start scoring goals in his début season until early October, then his goal scoring form clicked after that. Perhaps the same could apply to Borini or that could be wishful thinking.

At any rate, his mobility and positioning makes him a better option than Carroll.

Really? I kind of see what you mean in terms of poaching, but I wouldn't say they're that similar.

Why not? Neither player is particularly renowned for holding up the ball against defenders or for their technical ability. They both rely on pace across a short distance and positioning to score goals. Although Hernandez has admittedly improved the physical side and to a certain extent his technique since his début season. Obviously it's not a like for like comparison but you can see a few similarities there.

Here's the full piece on #Sahin
: Liverpool look set to beat Arsenal to the loan signing of Nuri Sahin
after offering Real Madrid a superior financial package to secure the
midfielder’s signature. Sahin had been expected to join Arsenal but
Liverpool’s willingness to pay a greater proportion of his
£120,000-per-week salary has turned the situation in their favour.
Real have accepted Liverpool’s offer to pay 70 per cent of Sahin’s wages
to take him on loan for the rest of the season. Arsenal had been
prepared to pay only 60 per cent, but were unwilling to accept an option
price of £14 million at the end of the season, and despite the added
lure of Champions League football now look likely to miss out on one of
Arsène Wenger’s summer transfer targets. The Frenchman is considering
his options.

I didn't think Borini was that fast? Also, i'd say he's more physical then Hernandez is if anything. But yea suppose there's a few similarities.

We should get him to sign before putting him through the pervert doctor

Assaidi was on a Thursday wasn't it?

Unless you mean officially our player.

So Arsenal would risk losing the chance to buy a potentially brilliant midfielder over £12'000 a week.

Fucking bastards.

Could be true

I want to believe.

Not seeing a lot of stuff on the option to buy, although it looks like we might have first refusal, I'm not entirely sure if I'm making sense

Won't believe till its official.

Well be sure to give arsenal a chance to match our offer I'm sure.

Must be officially, just read it on Twitter thought I'd post it

I keep thinking you're me due to your avatar, Samiz.

We might be after Sahin, but after tonight's game is he really any better than what we have? He's not even scouse like Spearing for a start.

Alonsos ball just now my god. Best pass I've ever seen. The whole field onto the foot in the box. Shame Ozick messed it up

I see..

Sky Sports reporting the Sahin deal, not that it really makes a difference.

Been a pretty shit source recently.

BBC now

Do you think it's happening, Mal?

BBC saying we have option to buy, but not Tony Barret..

That does sound like Arsenal to be honest.

The option to buy is £14 million according to Ben Smith

Yeah. Looks like it's a £5m loan fee and a £14m future transfer. Very good player.

Enrique and Johnson to make the width, Allen and Lucas for the protection.

I said it would give us a good chance. Not that you need to, we have world class Cazorla and Koscielny the best defender in the world since Tony Adams. I can confirm this, as I am world.

Jord wrote:2 weeks.

That's how long I'm giving until we start to hear chants of Rodgers out. It's inevitable, these string of fixtures are some of the worst I've ever seen for the start of a season and travelling to fuck ugly Scotland and back isn't going to help when 'attempt' to fend off Manchester City.

We're fucked and the beginning are the season will be our downfall.

Last season we had 4 points after the first 5 games, if you do find yourself in such a situation you can still bounce back.

So you're saying that not only is Koscielny in you, he's the best defender that's been in you since Adams?

Expected another Sahin twist, we are evidently the bigger club. Downhearted that Borini is missing chances.
