Allen's had a few bad games, but he was brilliant when he first started with us. I can' believe everyone is turning on him. Borini looked pretty good last week. I think he may get some minutes today.

He hasn't been brilliant in 1 game. He was neat and tidy start of season but extremely conservative. If he is going to make it he's going to have to use his passing ability in the final third to create chances and chip in with goals. He may do that in next couple of years. He's a decent player but we paid twice what he's worth was the point I was making and the fact we Already have Henderson it was a waste of money. For me Henderson has a lot more potential.

Different type of player than henderson. He's a Xavi-type player (obviously not his equal). He's about keeping the ball. Henderson is a box-to-box midfielder. Allen is a good player to have and I have faith in him.

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 Sturrridge has barely played 120 minutes of football for LFC and has scored 3 goals and you're slating him!! Have a little rethink about that one! Allen started well with us and his form has dropped but writing him off is premature! As for Borini, the guy has barely unpacked his suitcase from landing in England from another country and he is a waste! Has been injured for a lengthy period, which was no fault of his, and your saying he is a waste! How about giving some of these guys a chance FFS!

i think coady is not far behind allen in terms of ability and BR signed his son, squad informer for 15m..fcuking hell.
how many clubs in europe were trying to sign borini, alllen....none.
when quality players r available, usually a bidding war starts or last min bids r made, to hijack the deal.
i think LFC over paid on the above 2 players by 13/15m.

Overpaid for two players that both shone last season, Borini single-handedly contributing to the ascension of Roma from a bad start to the season. Scored crucial goals in big games, like the winner against Palermo, a late equaliser at the end of the season against Napoli, and a brace in a 4-0 rout of Inter. Allen the recipient of the Welsh Player of the Year award AHEAD of the likes of Bale. He had one of the best passing percentages in Europe last season, which many have dismissed, but his role for Swansea was much more than defensive play. Scored 4 goals from that role in midfield in his debut PL season. In both home and away fixtures against Wolves, a victory against Bolton, and the third in a Swansea team that beat Fulham at Craven Cottage (Only Everton, Spurs and United got victories there in the league last year)... I think you're doing two talented players a disservice criticizing them already. The Sturridge comments are a joke. The only reason this post is here because some people are a bit ratty after Christmas and new year it seems. Cheer up chaps.
