I think Borini has actually been a really good buy...I know he isn't banging them in but he is doing a very important job for the team..A real utility player, like Kuyt was...

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.


Then you haven't a clue regarding Coady or Allen.

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!


Read post again I did not slate sturridge i said I think he will do well. Borini has played in this country before btw. He was a decent player in the championship but never going to be anything special in the prem

I should just leave it but I won't. But saying that a player was never going to be anything special in the prem.... Why? Are you some footballing genius? Maybe we should hire you as a talent scout if you can predict from seeing him a couple of times before the age of 21 that he is never going to make it big... It must have been luck that got him a move to Roma, and then a call-up to the Italy squad.

And you never said he would do well... You suggested at best he's a decent signing who has done nothing yet. Other than score three goals in three games, and demonstrate an early instinctive understanding with Suarez. His dummy, for the second goal yesterday, was inspired.

If you'd like to quantify why you think these premature delusions on Allen and Borini then great, but I think most fans would need an awful lot to start thinking like you. We are happy to give them time.

The thing that hurts is those guys were never worth 25m. I like Borini, he is another striker that we have been lacking but he isn't worth 11m compared to Michu 2m, Ba 7-9m, Hernandez 6m he is way overpriced.

I'm still unsure about Allen as he started his career brightly then faded. I rate Lucas above him especially if Lucas can get back his form so in that sense yes another 15m wasted when we could of spent it on a top striker or a top winger.

Is the team progressing? I think so. We have won more home games than we did last season and the season is far from over. Hate these threads that dont give the players a chance FFS. We have people saying that Sturridge is a waste of money,Really? 3 goals in as many games hardly sets his career of to a bad start!!
If Sturridge had of scored a hat-trick yesterday the daggers would still be out. It beggars belief how SUPPORTERS can come on here with such negative comments so early in a players career. I say SUPPORT the team/players and give them a Fecking chance instead of slating them before they even kicked a ball. People have the right to their opinion but these threads are are somewhat premature!!

Called an opinion pal. And after seeing Allen and borini play over last 3 years I'm comfortable I've seen them enough to form it. How long does it take to judge a player ffs. Premature my arse

This thread isn't about slating borini and Allen but more the fact we have over paid yet when we have been linked with quality proven players we always hear that the board wouldn't release the funds. I like Allen and borini as squad players but at £25m we could have spent the money more wisely.

This is where I think our problems lie that we always insist on buying squad players instead of spending the money on quality players. Although I do admit we went all out and spent £35m on one player....andy caroll (face in palm)
