wait what, whats going on. have we really bid for vietto and higuain or am i just dreaming.
 
Origi needs to shut the **** up. Don't go down that road kid. Let your feet do the talking.

Keeping Mario makes zero sense at all being the manager patently doesn't want him and steadfastly refuses to play to his strengths and accommodate him.

Skrtel: "I don't feel old enough to sign that type of contract. I don't have any health problems. That contract is unacceptable."

That would be something huh?

A career spanning Utd, Citeh and L'pool? Modern day footballers. SMH.

He would be the replacement for Suarez we never got, although he isnt as good, he has that same playing style.

I've never seen this Vietto kid if I'm honest, is he good?

Oh, don't get me wrong, of all the potential top bracket forwards out there, that would fit the system Rodgers use's to a T, Tevez would top the list by a long chalk for me. As you say, similar style who is working as hard at 31 as he ever did. He defends from the front. A pre-request in the Rodgers lone role.

Just ironic that he'd of played for both Manchester clubs and the bigger club down the East Lancs. :P. Be darn funny to see the reaction of Utd fans too if it happened. ;).

From what I've seen, which isn't a substantial amount as I'm not that big on Spanish football, he's technically real talented. Quick, knows where the goal is. Pretty intelligent. Not the rounded end product, but he's developing well. But he looks like he'd snap in two. He's around the 11 stone mark with no real body frame to add any more weight/ bulk up. Just seems the completely wrong type of player to bring into England who'd get kicked to all heck and no doubt disappear by Christmas like so many flair players who are of such slight build do.

He'd be FAR better served staying in La Liga where he'd be allowed to play and develop IMHO.

Ahh one of them, probably not best right now then! Who would you like us to get upfront?
 
Alsio very happy with Milner, that's a good start to what is hopefully a good transfer window for us!

Well there's a question.

Where we massively f-ed up was pulling out of the Remi deal. Proven Premiership scorer for 7 million or so. The utter B/S over the medical just added to the frustration.

I'm actually still of the school (admittedly a very small one) that thinks we could be getting a **** of a lot more out of Mario if we worked with him and played to his strengths.

Ings I have no problem with. Cheap option that should add something different off the bench. And he's still young enough to mould with better coaching. Sturridge you sadly just can not rely on at all. If he comes back at Christmas and then breaks down again, I'd be inclined to cut ties next summer. Somethings not right in his build at all there. Hopefully Borini finally admits he's got no chance of playing, and cuts his loses on his wage packet to play somewhere. And you'd presume Lambert will be moved on.

So on the face of it, at the minute, you have a top class fella' who's never fit. A World class talent who is also a World class pain in the *** who nobody wants. And a young kid making a major step up who still has a lot of developing to do. Oh, and a returning Origi who is nowhere near ready for the Premier League IMHO. I've made a point of watching quite a few Lille games this year and he's all pace and little else. To say he's still raw is an understatement, And most of the Belgium lads I know who come over share the same view. A loan would be the most prudent thing there but we might be that desperate we roll with him.

A pretty darn woeful situation as we stand up front.

Tevez would be ideal. Everything Rodgers requires. And still works as hard as anyone at 31. Proven in England and still doing it. But I can't see Juve selling as he's vitally important to the way they play. Aside from the injury concerns, I'd love to push Arsenal on a Sterling/ Walcott swap. He'd be fantastic for us. Maybe similar with City for Djeko? Or if Madrid are serious on Sterling, explore Benzema. I keep seeing Higuain mentioned, but I'd be wary there. The only real recent South American forwards that have fit in over here are the strong, stocky workhorses that can take it and still produce like Tevez, Suarez and Augero. The leaner, rangier forwards tend to struggle to adapt. Excellent goal scorer. Just fear he could be another Falcao and not be suited to England at all. I really rate the lad at West Brom, but being as his agent is the same ***** who is Sterlings, that ain't ever happening. Plus we desperate need experienced, proven quality up there.

One things for sure, we desperately need to get someone of that ilk in and quick.

For if we roll with last years forwards plus Ings and Origi, the end result is going to be pretty much the same.

I also still attest a solid 'keeper is still a massive priority as well but that's another story.

Definitely agree, although I think they tried their hardest to get him to stay. They must be in a difficult situation for homegrown players right now, which is good because they could be prepared to pay over the odds for Sterling

Mail have reported City offered 165k to keep Milner.. that's a ridiculous amount for a squad player

perhaps a bit of desperation due to the home grown rules
