#191686 Transfer Rumours 2014/15

I was just looking at some of this shite on twitter. I feel sorry for the rational Liverpool fans because they aren't half surrounded by fucking idiots.
Brendan Rodgers has very good PR people.

Not from what I've seen of Steven Taylor.

Yes.
Short answer: He's regressed massively since 2011/12 after a bunch of injuries, he's poor defensively (specifically his positioning and concentration aren't up to scratch), not very good going forward and has lost much of speed and agility that used to make him so dangerous going forward and quick to react when defending. Nowadays he's basically only good if you ask him to run in a straight line.
Combine all of that with his injury record and the weaknesses he had even when he was playing well (i.e. not the best technically and iffy decision-making) and it's not remotely surprising that City want rid.

Estudiantes legend and his former team-mate.
Deal!

That is a very accurate assessment of Burnley.

Not sure about that.
He was quality today though.

Nobody actually seems to like him. He's dull, sycophantic and rarely ever seems to break stories - for City or United. Generally he just rehashes common rumours or reports on briefs from the club. Ogden and Ladyman can be depressingly dull/negative at times but they at least occasionally break news stories. On top of that he's not a particularly good writer. Compared to his predecessor (Daniel Taylor) he's massive step down.

She's not horrendously biased, she's just horrendously bad. She tipped Spurs for the title and a host of Spurs players for individual accolades last season (Paulinho as player of the season, iirc), Along with Jamie Jackson and Paul Wilson she's one of the Guardian's worst football journalists.
#188865 The Lower League Thread

I made a rare appearance at Gigg Lane for this. Bury were pretty shit going forward but could still easily have scored a couple - Pablo Mills had a header stopped on the line - and were generally the better team. Cheltenham weren't exactly very ambitious though.
Nardiello and Lowe didn't really work as a partnership.

He was good at the end of the season but he wasn't even that bad at centre-back, at the time the entire defence was a mess. His problem is more to do with his lack of pace rather than being played out of position. He was great at Hull when he covered in defence.

£15.8m. He's not been that bad, he's just not been that good either. He's competent, nothing more nothing less.

No, we're just not going to name a 25-man squad.
I agree with Shola, though, £10m on Rodwell is a massive risk. He's talented but his injury record is appalling, he hasn't played more than 15 league games in a season since 2010/11.
Harsh on Giroud and Arteta. I'm surprised that Monreal is still at Arsenal. He's rubbish.

Frank Lampard's coming to City, it seems. The Mail are also reporting this, as is the Sun's Manchester correspondent.

His release clause was only £21m
They've sold a fair few players, they've won the league, and they've just signed a big new kit deal with Nike (12 years, I think) they probably have a bit of cash to splash around. If they didn't do so with Torres then that just means they have good judgement.

I unsubscribed from there ages ago, it was fucking shit. No decent discussion but plenty of wankers with bantz + trolls.

The point is they had debts that they had to pay.
West Brom look pretty terrible too.
That's probably the most important thing. Katherina Liebherr's shown little to suggest that she's as committed to the club's success as her dad and Cortese were.

Before this batch of sales they owed ~£27m in transfer fees.
