KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum £25m down the toilet?

Anyone else think that another £25m has been thrown down the toilet in buying Allen and borini?

Yes. 25 mill for 2 players who would not make the bench of any of the top 4 teams at the moment.

Include the 12 million for sturridge and its 37 million for 3 players who wouldn't make the bench for man utd or man city. Now I think sturridge will do ok but he's done nothing yet.

To think I used to criticise Benitez in the transfer market. He was a genius in the transfer market compared to our last 3 managers including rodgers

looks like [oops] business alrite..add the 5m for sahin and assidi too. plus big money on risky sturridge.

But we are not a top 4 team, two young lads being written of so soon,bit sad really.

No give the lads a chance especially borini

That is 6 PL games Borini.

Borini has been out for a while and Allen has been ok, but not terrible. Lucas was detested by all fans when he first arrived.

When your a 15 million pound player or a 10 million pound player you have to perform.

If we signed them for 6 million and 5 million (their realistic value) then fair enough as they may be good players in 2 or 3 years. But for 25 million we should and could have got proven top players who are good enough for the first 11 now.

Not blaming the players or writing off ther careers for that. I'm blaming the manager for spending the money we had very poorly.

Lets give it a bit longer eh?

Borini and Allen have been Liverpool players for 6 months... Judging them right now... Seriously?! Borini has missed the last 3 months... Allen has had to try and replace Lucas for a similar period of time. Expectations of a big club makes a difference to young players and their settling in period. Borini - an Italy International at 21 that is part of the squad to get to the final of the Euros. Allen - a Wales International praised by Giggs, Bellamy,(the late) Speed and Coleman. This post seems premature.
