KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The problem with Joe Allen

I'm looking forward to seeing you get warned for the above (providing the mods have the balls to show a bit of consistency).

Out of interest though, why does knowing people from swansea have any inidication as to whether someone is clueless or not???

This will be last point on this as I dont wont it to drag in to 3 page conversation with you and spoiling the thread for others.

Why would you get enjoyment of me getting warned? Are you 12?

I currently live in Swansea and there is a certain eliment of the City that is poorly educated and wouldnt have an idea of a good player. My point through the whole of this little spat is that I believe your making things up just to try and get your views across.

I can't seeing Joe Allen be much more than a cog in the Rodgers machine. Yes Swansea fans don't one of their consistent performers to go, but they are absolutely luaghing at getting 15 million for him. It is a massive gamble 15 million, and we are gambling for not a vast improvement. I think personally, it is a mistake to spend so much money on a player who doesn't really significantly improve the team when the team is weak in so many areas. I'd love him to prove me wrong and be all important, but I can't see it. He's going to be a functional cog, that isn't currently worth 15 million. We have been mugged off by the transfer fee once again. Of course that won't matter if he performs brilliantly for us. But right this moment, it isn't a value for money deal.

Is the reason we're having this conversation because Allen is British?

I cant remember anybody saying a word when we signed Alonso for a similar fee.

Reading on the website today and I'm actually looking foraward to next season, we needed a calm cultured midfielder in the middle, a quiet man, and we've got just that. I honestly don't care if that meant he was British, Russian, Australian, Kazakhstanian, WHEREVER. We needed this sort of player and we could do with a few others with his ability to want the ball and be great on it.

We've signed a gem here, something that might not stand out individually with all the fancy stuff, but will make a massive difference to how we play.

I was thinking, many moons ago Liverpool wouldn't have even batted and eyelid at this sort of player, It's the sort of player Arsenal or Man United would sign!

COME ON BRENDAN!

The main thing you have failed to take in all along, and repeatedly ignored just so you could throw another childish insult at me, is that the views i quoted were not even mine! I am firmly in the 'jury's out' camp and am happy to wait and see if he makes a difference. Did I not say I was happy for him to sign for us as it would mean less game time for henderson, spearing and adam? How exactly does that tie in with me creating fantasy friends to get a point across which i don't even necessarily agree with?? FFS think before you post!!!!

As I said before, what could I possibly hope to gain by quoting the views of people who might have a better insight than most of us, when I have a different view point to them?

Finally, I'd get no enjoyment from seeing any particular individual warned or banned. I, like many others, would just like to see some consistent moderating.

Yawn

And what a fantastic reason to sign a player! "Because it means other players YOU don't like, get less game time"

So its not about Joe Allen being a fantastic little modern day footballer? Who can improve our side massively?

No, not at all.

So he says; "FFS sake think before you post" to another user.........and shortly after in the same post has yet another swipe at moderators......

How is this idiot still on this forum?

"He's done nothing wrong"

I think it makes more sense to wait and see how Allen gets on before posting stuff like "We have been mugged off by the transfer fee once again." or "it isn't a value for money deal." or "they are absolutely laughing at getting 15 million for him." How negative is that and how derogatory is it of Joe Allen

Craney every village needs an idiot
