Liverpool thread 2017/18

Alli... Dele Alli? He'll cost them a lot more than a third of £150mil ffs.

Big gob jim white will decide the fee

Of course, Talksport also has Costa, Sanchez, Eriksen and Isco all lining up along side Alli for the "greatest club in the World"™

Also odd how many ex-cult members take Murdoch's coin. I guess their protest only applies to others. I am surprised no one has called the cult hypocritical.

(Colin Murray = an honourable exception)

Doesn't Messi want to go there? To play on those magical European evenings under the Anfield lights?

Well just about everyone in this thread agrees that Samir Nasri sucks - and so do I.

Where I differ - big time - from the 15 or so posters who have replied to my posts - is that Nasri is *potentially* - again - *potentially* - one of the best footballers on the planet.

The problem with Nasri is that he is lazy and doesn't apply himself - add to that, he's got a toxic quality about him, poisoning the dressing room if he feels slighted by management.
=======
Many of those who have replied to my posts claim that Nasri is too old - he's done - not the player he once was - etc.

To this - I reply that Nasri is 30 years old. Same age as the best player currently in world football - that guy who plays for Barca. 30 is a bit old - but not so old that he's way beyond his prime, completely unable to be world class.
========
So this is my point once more - it's crazy to trade a *potentially* hugely talented player to any of the other 5 clubs in our league who may challenge us for the title.

It's probably a good thing to loan him to Pool though - as I don't see that Pool is going to challenge for the title - but I could be wrong - that too could hurt us.

Let's just say that there's a 5% chance or so that if traded to a top PL club, Nasri gets pissed at us and uses that as motivation - he then leads whatever rival club he's been traded to to take 6 points off us.

IMO - that will seriously damage the chance we have for winning the title.

Best thing is to sell Nasri to some non-PL club. 2nd best is to keep him (even if he's totally useless) and never plays - this is insurance. Next best is to loan him to a weak rival (Pool) and hope that he takes points off stronger rivals while not performing so well as to make that weak rival a true title contender.

It'd take him nigh on half the season to reach fitness demands for the PL again.

He's 30, the same age as Messi. The difference being Messi hasn't stagnated and played a bit part for the best part of 3 years. Nasri will never be now.

One swallow does not a summer make, his last meaningful contribution for us was that goal in the LCF against the Mackems he is the very epitome of a sunshine player.

Does his goal when we won the title on the last day of the season in 2014 not constitute a meaningful contribution?

Apparently they have rejected a £114M bid for Coutinho from Barcelona
