i think LFC over paid on the above 2 players by 13/15m.


How many clubs were trying to sign Michu and Ba? Given they were cheaper but you can't blame the players for their price tags! Yes for 10 & 15 mill you imagine they would be a bit better but writing them off if at this stage is ridiculous IMO.

Silly generalization. Who was in for Michu? Who fought Chesea for Ba? Who tried to sign Hernandez when united signed him? Who fought City for Aguero? Who fought us for Suarez?

That's a bit strong! He was only criticised by the ignorant fans who didn't understand that he would need time to settle in due to the following:

-language barriers
-cultural differences
-climate differences
-playing out of position
-playing in a league he'd never played in
-living in a country where he knew no one

You'd have to be pretty thick if you expected him to be superb right away.

Will your next comment be something like: "As opposed to Henderson"? whistle

At the same time we seemingly don't want to sign Sneijder for about the same price (but of course on a higher wage bill). Sneijder is a player who fits a club aspiring for CL status, whereas Ince fits a club playing in the Championship!


He was released because he didn't sign a new contract because he wanted playing time. To me that is the sign of a hungry young player who wants to grow and improve.

Ince will improve us and will probably slot in ahead of Sterling for me at the minute because he is more clinical in front of goal. I would have preferred Sneijder obviously but Ince is a good option to have

Didn't see the game - I only saw his goal. Decent swing of the boot, but my criticism of him has never been about goals. I suppose someone will pipe up and tell me he played superbly now....?

no not superb yet but has been a consistent performer for the last 2 months and has shown he is worthy of a place.

He's been slightly better than 'poor' in 1 or 2 games recently, I'll give you that, but he's still a million miles away from deserving to be at LFC. Consistent performer for the last 2 months? I think not!
