Must be so frustrating for Gomez and Lallana, and Oxo-Chambo come to that, knowing they’d more than likely be starting a WC Semi tomorrow were it not for injury.

Ah well. England’s loss is the Reds gain with Adam and Joe getting in the full pre-season a whole host of WC players aren’t with the season starting earlier.

And talking about tomorrow, although I have no real interest in who wins either way, I do hope Degsy Lovren completely shuts down that horrible, cheating **** Kane. Bring his reemergence full circle after the Wembley debacle last year.
 
Still can't believe your still on that Kane cheating rhetoric just because he was involved in one or two decisions that went against you in a game, It really is quite sad but hey ho we'll move on swiftly. I bet you didn't consider Suarez a cheat when he was playing for you and possibly even now. Despite his track record being 10x worse than anything Kane has ever done.
 
Uhmmm, the same Suarez I wanted binning out the club after his biting B/S? And had some real ‘interesting’ debates with Marshall on here wanting him gone. (Whatever happened to him?). That Suarez? Seriously man, you know me far better than to question my principles when I strongly believe in something.

And by the same token, I still can’t believe you try condone what he does most every week z but hey ho.

Whatever floats your boat.

Well if that was your stance on Suarez then I apologise but I still don't truly know what you have against Kane so badly.

A lot of Liverpool fans (football fans generally) did have double standards over Suarez at the time he was at the club. To be honest I can't remember how you were over it, but I'll take your word on that.
 
Tottenham in general under Pochetino who openly condones his players cheating to gain an advantage. Just a horrible, old school Argentinian that fella’ who thinks it’s perfectly acceptable behaviour in doing whatever it takes to win football matches. And Ali and Kane are two of the worst at following their managers ‘win at all cost’ mentality.

As you bring up the contrary on L’pool, much rather have a manager like Klopp who slammed Salah Chelsea for his pathetic attempt at a dive after the game down there late last season.

it’s one thing knowing it goes on. It’s a whole other openly condoning it publicly.

Horrible club. Horrible manager. Horrible players. Shithouse fans. As anyone ever experiencing the walk up the High Road down there will testify. Some of the worst in London.

Just a smidgen below Chelsea in teams I truly despise. Utd doesn’t even register in comparison which says it all.

Good news: Joyce in his midnight update tweeting we’re ‘closing in’ on Shaqiri.

Great but ****** bizarre news: Maddock reporting Fekir has reached agreement, whatever the F that means, for talks to reopen with the only club he wants to join- https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/foot...yon-12896156.amp?1=&__twitter_impression=true

This is just the single maddest transfer saga I think I’ve ever known. And give we specialise on transfer saga’s, that’s saying something!
 
So, along with Modric, Degsy Lovren is the first player since Paolo Maldini in 1994 to play in the European and World Cup Final in the same season.

Paolo Maldini. Dejan Lovren. Mind blowing.

BTW, has he let Kane out of his back pocket yet? ;)

How reliable is Maddock/Mirror ?

I don't even care about this transfer anymore, its sucked the life out of me....

The Mirrorr aren’t but Daves a decent local lad. Has anyone been truly reliable on this one mate either side of the channel?

Like with most any transfer Lyon and that mad so-and-so Aulas is involved in its been bizarre.

I hear yer. But be another superb addition if it does get done. The major ones for me are having a jump on everyone with Naby and Fabinho here getting the pre-season in already. Don’t expect to see Henderson, Trent or Degsy in particular the first month the season with them barely having a week back. We know how Klopp will hold anyone out regardless until they’ve had their pre-season and are back upto scratch. Then you’ve Utd and ‘Spurs being hit real hard early with major players being nowhere near ready to go day one. City to a lesser extent as they have the squad but still. de Bruyne and £terling you’d think will be sparse before the first International break.

Early start the season, for reasons I still don’t understand, coupled with the WC should effect a lot of early line-ups. Been a Godsend to have most of ours from the get-go. Can’t afford to drop any points those first four games going into the first International break the standard City set last year.

Lovren said he's one of the very best CB's in the world after last night's match. No laughing at the back.
 
Ahhh Degsy. I love yer mate and your turnaround since the Wembley debacle into a solid, no-nonsense CH that can be relied upon again has been fantastic to watch but let’s not go talking utter nonsense hey mate?

Related, as there’s many who still don’t get it .....

As much as it means little to me, England’s wonderful ride to the semi and the way it’s given people great joy and pride in Unifying the Country ..... The irony on those same people mocking our run to Kiev and taking great joy in the defeat there, telling us it means nothing if you don’t ultimately win the trophy. Not being able to comprehend why we weren’t all down and P in defeat .... Well, maybe NOW they finally get it. Football’s about moments and memories. And when people are proud and happy experiencing those, that’s what ultimately counts.

To tell them it means nottin if there’s no trophy at the end of it is a very narrow minded view that just doesn’t take into account what supporting a football team is all about.


Kudos to England and all their fans for getting to experience that and realising those emotions.


Boss game this togger hey when it all comes together and unites people in joy to make them forget the drudgery of everyday life?

Shaqiri fee agreed. £13.75 M. Medical tomorrow.

Absolute no-brainier at that price. Interesting to note the managers been following him since he was at Bayern and coveted by Dortmund.

More nice, swift business from Edwards.

Dead happy to add him into the mix. Almost certain starter the first 4 games before the International break with others later back messing with their pre-season.

Great opportunity for him to lay down an early marke

Keep them coming Reds!

looks like you will be geting fekir afterall

Hopefully. Get Sunday out of the way, let him go on his holidays and sort something the next few weeks.

No rush there as he wouldn’t be starting the season anyway as he’d still be preparing doing his pre-season.

But still the most important piece needs adding in goal.

Get in!

The more I’ve thought about this and looked at him more closely the past month or so since the links hotted up, the more I think on the sly he can be every bit as effective as Fekir. Perfect player for Klopp to do what he does and bring out the best of him consistently. Knowing the manager wanted him since he signed for Munich way back when totally allays any attitude problems to my mind.

To add them both as seems likely will be fantastic.

This is a weird one because he has got a point. A confident Lovren plays like an absolute beast as he has shown many times, but on the flipside we have seen some absolute shocking performances. I'd certainly rank him in the top 10 until we get the next Lovren meltdown...

Ramos, Pique, Varane, Bonucci, Hummels, Chiellini, Van Dijk, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Bailly. There's 10 centre halves better than him without hesitation (literally impressed with how I typed 10 players in like under 1 minute), could probably double it with thought, maybe even give a go at trebling.
