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

Two young players who have played in the top level of their respective countries and had done well,how much do you think they would be worth?

One went to the Olympics and the other made his national squad for the European championships.

Seen Allen playing for Wales and Swansea last 3 years and I'm sorry it doesn't take 6 months to work out he's not worth anywhere near 15 million. I've got nothing against him but its been clear for a while he's a good midfielder who doesn't quite have the skills to become a top midfielder.

I'm not criticising him, it's not his fault we paid 15 million for him just pointing out that Rodgers has been awful in the transfer market so far.

We should have signed diame. Far better player than Allen for free.

He's 21 ffs. Give the lad a break.

I think 25 seconds of my life was just wasted reading that crappy thread.

i only wasted 14 seconds

Yeah well... I wasn't wearing my glasses :P

I know times are tough apparantly, but are our fans really gone this fickle and brain dead? Borini is 21 and Allen is 22, 3 months ago you were all purring over how well Allen fitted in he's had a bad patch but so what before 4 or 5 games ago Gerrard was on an 18 month bad patch, Suarez wasn't scoring enough last year, Lucas was gonna be a horrible player, Agger was too injury prone and Skrtel to dodgy for them ever to form a partnership, all these players proved you wrong, Borini has played like 6 or 7 games and half of those were against minnows in the Europa League, give them a break neither of them are even starting today.

Knee jerk reactions seem to be the order of the day round here a win against united the season so far would be looking better give the lads a chance Allen is a good player and prospect haven't seen enough of borini yet

Unfair comments, both young and in first season at liverpool. Allen showed in his first 10 games he can play to a level that warrants 15mil. And to say 'down the drain' is somewhat an overstatement as we could sell both on current form and still get 18-20 back.

I still think that Allen will come good. Regarding Borini, still not sure where he is supposed to play but we needed a centre forward. However, don't think that Allen was a priority at all.
