Lovren priced at £25m

[Dreambeliever]

Completely agree, Lovren is one of the best defenders in the world, his performances in the CL last season and the subsequent world cup against some of the best players in the world proved he is just that. What he also demonstrated last season in his national team was the ability lead the back line while being partnered alongside a defender who is not up to the standard of any of Matip, or Gomez. I actually love his nutty appearances on the video's etc., nothing seems to dent his confidence. I hope he stays, because I really think he will be hard to replace.

On another note this De Ligt guy and all the transfer speculation surrounding him and the money/pay being mentioned - I don't personally give a fuck, but it worries me that it could truly unsettle some of our defenders watching a 19 year old earn so much. I hope I am wrong, but right now De Ligt reminds me of a young Ramos, who had quite a few Lovren 'moments' in his early days, but like Ramos likes to go forward. My biggest hope for him, is no one gets dragged into a price war for him, and he fucks up any moves and ends up staying at Ajax.

How can you not advocate for a player if you think he’s like Ramos who has one of the greatest careers ever in the game ?

Still think he could come good.

Hahahaha

Tony Evans really comes across like a smug bastard

I've shared a few words with him over a pint or two many years back (used to frequent the same local when I lived in Wavertree for a year or so) & he certainly wasn't then, was a really nice fella.

Hmm, maybe his Twitter persona is a totally different one. Not the first time thats the case.

Or maybe just your interpretation of his writing?

Because a Ramos type player would not get away with some of the shit he does in the PL.

What? The same player who has been sent off more times than anyone else?

He gets away with fuck all

I know you were running to the bank to stash your cashout, but most of us remember him for getting no punishment after tearing our best player's arm from its socket and getting no punishment whatsoever.

And knocking out our goalie.

Do we really need a player that has a habit of being sent off? We let in only 22 last season, losing 1 game and drawing 7. If he was a member of our squad last season would we have a higher point score than 97?

Its hard to argue with what he says

He's laughably thin-skinned and vindictive in print and online, yes.

But I think that's just a bit of his professional persona, and he's not as bas IRL

He's never rated Rodgers. And, maybe, he was right.

He's like most journalists, though, using flowery language to describe just about everything.

 

[Judge Jules]

Wasn't he the one who "broke" the non-story about LFC being bought by the Chinese govt?

I have no idea how much of a "non-story" it was, but it obviously never happened and yes he was the main journalist involved.

Oh dear.

 

[Hansern]

Wasnt it something like "China buys Liverpool". The whole thing also involved someone called "Bamba" on RAWK who was supposed to be close to the deal. I seem to remember something about a Chinese rocket in regards to the news about this.
It was quite enjoyable and spectacularly wrong.
