Liverpool FC Official Thread

Rodgers: "Our team spirit is extremely strong. I won't let anyone upset that, it just won't happen."

I think he will fit in with the welcoming atmosphere at the club.  This is a place for alcoholics, drug cheats, teenage fathers, Disc Jockey assaulters, golf-club wielders, and men who have affairs behind shower curtains.  Nobody is turned away, and that is what makes Liverpool such a warm football club.

Balotelli arriving at Melwood for his medical.



Rumour going around that we are still in for Eto and that he will also be having a medical today.

BBC reporting that Balotelli will be on nearly £120K a week  

So close.

World Class players are expensive.

Elsewhere, Man United are paying the same amount to Nani, to play for a different Club.

I wouldn't mind Eto'o here for depth, as long as we sign Balotelli. He'd be a short term cover for Origi - who'll be here next season - I reckon.

Next season's strike force:

Balotelli
Sturridge
Origi
Potentially Sterling, should he move in that direction.

That's cracking, to be fair.

(Lambert can gfto. I don't want Giroud-level strikers here long-term).

 Can't wait to see that in front of the Kop.

Yes, world class players deserve that much which is why it laughable that you're paying someone like Balotelli that much   And Nani is not no £120K a week, gets your facts straight.

Also, you were profusely defending Lambert when you signed him and were desperate to put any type of positive spin on the deal. I'm glad you've realised you how stupid you were and admitted you were wrong once again.

Seriously, Keyser. Are you that jealous that you need to keep popping in here trying to chat shit about Balotelli?

Apparently Balotelli scored 7 goals from open play last season :/
He's never scored over 15 league goals in a season too.
Good striker but world class? LOL.

He scored 3 in 20 in his last season at City.

It's going to be so delicious when he starts banging them in

Scott your trolling has been on point these last two days

Agreed, I'm licking my chops already.

Big clubs can do that.

Suarez wasn't going to be very good because he was only scoring in a poverty League.

Sturridge wasn't going to be good because he was a Chelsea reject, who was too selfish.

Coutinho wasn't going to be good because he was an Inter reject. Why are Inter selling him for only £8 million if he's good? Etc, etc

Now they're trying it with Balotelli.

You would think that they would have learned their lesson by now.

You forgot Fabio Borini and Iago Aspas.

  Agreed.  They should know by now that Liverpool always comes out more or less on top.

Because Borini and Aspas can be compared to Balotelli

I forgot, they're not negritos.

Don't forget when Arsenal would be sorry that Downing turned them down for Liverpool.

So mad

None of you were this bothered when we signed the likes of Lovren, Manquillo, Lallana, etc.

True dat. I still think he has to live up to his potential rather than being the finished article.

It's not Balotelli's fault that he scores free kicks, is it? Half of the penalties he has scored for Milan are ones that he earned himself, so it's not like he is piggybacking on the efforts of others like Stevie Me.

But it is his fault that he doesn't score more from open play.

I don't watch Milan that often, but from what I have seen, it's not like he gets good service all the time. Giroud had 21 "clear cut chances" in the Premier League last season, and missed 15 of those -- the most in the Premier League.

Balotelli isn't the type of forward that should lead the line either, he's more of a SS imo. He would do well with Sturridge on paper, I think.
