I am probably out and about more than you...I post of my phone. What you doing on this thread anyway? Are you secretly satisfied with the way things are going and our prolific goal machines Borini and the Hendominator?

This one's motivated by Shaggydog. It is intended for people like myself, who despite certain failures and low spots feel that the club overall is moving in the right direction. Oh, and obviously we can mention the prolific Borini who has scored a total of 1 goal in 5 starts in the premier league. That's right, 5 starts, more than enough to show that he should be sold and moved on, yet he has somehow convinced me that we should hold him. It must be because he is so prolific and certainly has nothing to do with the fact that I might believe that after 5 starts we should still give him a bit more time before chopping him from the squad.
Last but not least let's not forget the premier leagues most cherished moaner, the gem with an attitude problem, Daniel Sturridge. I have yet to see him moan and he has done nothing but put in good solid shifts and score goals since coming in, but in hindsight we should have gone for Doyle.
So, to all those who agree cheers...
I hope I don't end up speaking to myself on here. It isn't so much that I think he should be sold because of how he has been for us, but rather he should have never been bought in the first place

I was a skeptical about him too. But after the way fans treated Lucas and the way everyone wanted Sneijder and they got Coutinho for us instead, who has been amazing, I refuse to write Borini off just yet. Especially after only five PL starts...I have also seen enough from him to make me believe he could prove useful yet. As I said I think he has a poachers instinct.

Hopefully you're right, for everyone's sake. I just am not the biggest fan of taking chances given where the club is at.
Coutinho has indeed turned out to be fantastic so far. Cracking little player and good value for money so far as well!

Look, I agree completely. We should not have spent 11mil on him, he hasn't lived up to that pricetag yet. If we got him for 4-5 million I just feel people would be looking at him differently and the bottom line is, te price tag is not his fault or doing. I do think he could still prove to be worth it though...

The fee is not his fault marko any more than andy Carroll was at fault for his but it influences how you judge a player £11m is not a squad player money. Not sure of what we are paying him a week. But he is young I suppose personally I don't think he will make it with Liverpool I think we would have seen more by now but happy to be proved wrong.

That reply is good enough for me...I can see your point and as u said, I think 11m is too much for a squad player, but in my eyes it doesn't change the fact that he could be a very good squad player. I think he has that poaching instinct.

I think he is a decent finisher but does not seem to be in the game. Perhaps that might come with time.

Here's some positivity (slightly irrelevant to Marko..sorry about that)..
We trashed Newcastle while fielding a majority English side. That's one fact that is making me happy. I know KD was trying to assemble a great, British side, and a few didn't work out, but I see no reason, based on recent performances, that Henderson couldn't become an important player for the national side. I thought Shelvey was going to turn out the same, but something's happened to seriously dent his confidence, which has had an awful knock on effect on his ability/ form.
I know no one is content with waiting, but in a few years, all these 18-24 year olds are going to be hitting their prime. That's exciting!
