NSIS ... or trolling maybe? ... I watched him play a fair amount for Roma and I've really liked what I've seen.

It's an awesome signing. I've been a fan of Salah for a long time and he's a great fit for LFC. More work to do though. LB and CB are still top priorities. Then we need a CM, if the right guy is available. I am assuming that Coutinho will play in midfield more often next year, with the...

Wow, what an amazing piece. I always liked Harry Arter. He's just the kind of gritty center midfielder I love to watch. My wife is an obstetrician and from to time she has to help families through this sort of thing. It never gets easier; breaks her heart every single time. I can't...

Wow, those values seem generally high. 85M for Bobby Firmino?? I love that as a LFC fan but I never would have expected him to be worth more than Coutinho. 85M seems high anyway. I might have expected his valuation to be in the 60M range. But I don't follow this stuff especially closely.

Yeah I had the impression he was starting to get dropped more and more often second half of the year, especially after Gabriel Jesus came back healthy. As I review his appearances, Raheem Sterling Player Profile - ESPN FC I think my assessment was basically correct, although of course he...

Yeah, good question. The only likely outgoing players who could probably command substantial transfer fees are Sturridge and Moreno, and what could the fees be? Maybe 30M combined (20M for Studge and 10M for Moreno)? Definitely questions to answer there.

Kolasinac to Arsenal: Arsenal makes it official with versatile left-sided Schalke man | ProSoccerTalk Great signing for them or anyone, imo. I thought he might make sense for LFC, but it never materialized. I'm delighted with VVD and Salah, assuming the deals go through. Still very...

Yeah, that first half was the most entertaining half of soccer I've seen all year. Both sides were really going for it, and there was so much quality on both sides. I was just in awe of the skill at times, especially on the Juve goal. Absolute stunner. Then the wheels came off for Juve in...

Absolutely. I were an EPL manager and a genie told me he would magically transfer any player in the league to my club for next year only (so I'm taking into account current form only, not potential/youth), I think Sanchez would have to be the pick. Only Harry Kane really comes close.

True, I'd just add that he rarely fielded his best 11 in the Premier League during the run-in because he was prioritizing the Europa League. Which is the sort of thing that I hate as a neutral fan but that I might respect if I were a Man U fan. Certainly, last year when Liverpool were making...

HUGE money, it's true. Average wages nearly DOUBLE the size of even clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham. And they should have done better in the league, but if Mourinho had settled on his first 11 earlier in the season, they would have. He's really got them humming now. And everyone hates...

I hate Mourinho, but you have to respect what he's done as a coach this year. He's imposed his style and he's got that squad humming.

True, but they are still young and they look more dangerous than ever. 13 goals in their last two games?? Fire. He's a striker's striker. Never happy except when he is scoring. That's actually a good quality for a striker. Still, I think he's on his way this summer.

Would be a perfect signing. Pep uses his fullbacks almost like center midfielders anyway, bringing them high and narrow. I agree, Man City need to fix the fullback and keeper situation and they will be in great shape for next year. I feel almost the same way about my Reds, at least w/r/t...

And in my view this Juve team is significantly stronger than the one that lost the Champs League final a couple years ago. It's really impressive how they have rebuilt on the fly.

Ha, totally

Ha so true. This is how I became an EPL fan.

What a win! So funny that we had that long discussion last week about whether Coutinho is a 10 or an 8, with most of us agreeing that he is basically a 10, but then in the build-up to Sunday's game Klopp says in the press that Coutinho can operate as an 8, and then in the actual game Coutinho...

It makes less and less sense the more I think about it. Why spend that kind of crazy money on a player who won't get into your best 11? If he isn't intended to be the heir to Iniesta, then is he meant to be the heir to Messi? I guess Messi is getting on a bit, but he's still only 29, and...

Wow. Atleti are up for it.
