Liverpool Thread 2014/15

Ings rejecting the squad numbers #7 and #8 and chooses #28.

Maybe it's just me, but that's the sign of somebody who's a little overawed. Doesn't strike me as the move of a player who's about to score 20 goals for them next season.

It's lambert i feel sorry for,joining his boyhood club and not getting played

Not sure so much overawed, but rather dancing to the PR department's tune

At least he's winning trophies...

1965 Stan Horne I think.

What's the point of this debate?

Shack's perfectly entitled to defend his club.

Yep. Although after coming out with this load of bollocks they may as well retire those squad numbers, cause there ain't no world superstars signing for them anytime soon .

without looking for the statistics who was city's first black player and what year? in the history of the england football team only 76 black players have played for them. am not saying racism did not exist at everton via board and fans but it was no worse than a lot of other teams. canoville was the first black player for chelsea in 1982

I always thought it was Daniel Amokachi, thanks for setting me straight on that one

Wow. Looks like Steve Nichol has spent the Sterling transfer fee already. And then some . . .

Actually for a change i hope Ings is not expected to bang in 20 goals and that him and Origi will be allowed to develop. We have a tendency of burning out young players (Sterling, Ibe), putting to much pressure on them (Markovic) or expecting role players to suddenly be saviours (Lambert).

Maybe Firmino will get #7, apparently it's a done deal.

If we get 50M for Sterling, AND:

Firmino comes in for half of that,
we still get a decent mobile striker that is not young or old,
we get a right-back, and
Lucas doesn't leave

then i'll actually be pleasantly surprised by this transfer window. It'll be our best transfer window in quite a while.
