    Absolutely true and why we landed him. His cannibalistic antics in Holland led to a quick sale to us and the same to Barca. Nobody suggesting he is the most loved just the pure quality - have never seen a better forward in my lifetime in any team anywhere.. Had he been well behaved he goes to a Barca years earlier and is likely in the hall of fame.. Trust me - defenders feared him more than Messi while he was at Barca.

    Thankfully we replaced him more than adequately with Mario Ballotelli!!

    "why always" us? You know Jurgen gets a tune out of him.


    Sadly his antics were allowed to unravel under Brendan... and he had to go. Maybe he gets sold but not for free.


    There was enough ability there to make money for the 'Buy-to-Let'.

    To be fair Klopp would have got something out of him. He was pretty brain-dead though.

    Yep - would have got him scoring goals and in the shop window and a decent fee OR used as super sub... Shaqiri had the talent but word on the street is he was a handful in the dressing room. Klopp got what we needed from him.

    Linked to Bazoumana Touré from Hoffenheim.

    Price shouldn't be enormous - Ł35m to Ł40m maybe.

    Potentially very high ceiling though we could do with something a bit more ready-made as well.

    Steveo can you do a match day thread? (if Miller doesn't mind) We won last time, If we lose though. You're getting dragged over the hot coals.
