That was another one we were incredibly heavily linked with but didn't pull off for some reason

Sigh, I seriously love Rafa
David Silva another one we could have had.
He also identified one C.Ronaldo long before the Mancs and almost had him signed to us.

What could have been.

In the end 19 mil bought for him and sold for 16 mil, so wasn't that big a blow for us

Rafa is the manager who knows how to uncover value then sell at a profit, does it as well as most

Seyi Ojo scored 2 goals (2:45 and 5:32) and was instrumental in England U18's 4-1 win over Poland yesterday, playing predominantly at #10 but also drifting out to either wing and pushing in towards CF on occasion:

One of England's best players in this age group (closely followed by Rossiter and Solanke) and has been for some time, he's going to be a very useful player for us in the future. Like I said earlier, he's somewhere between Ibe and Sturridge in terms of style but also has the ability to push into midfield.

Can only hope for 4th now you'd reckon. Doubt we'll even get close to it but there's no way this team can finish higher than that.

It's just rotten luck with Sturridge but he's had this kind of luck his whole career so it's not surprising to me at all.

It's a strange season with the mancs also looking terrible. Perhaps Southampton may well end up finishing 4th the way it is going. I expect decisive action by FSG in January and no pissing about offering 2 million less than the going rate for a transfer target and looking for bargains on the cheap. We've become the Arsenal of the transfer market now because they are actually shelling out for established stars these days.

He didn't want to play in England. I believe there was a quote doing the rounds when we were linked with him where Villa said, "I don't speak English and i don't like the Beatles."

Been busy with work lately and tbh, our form hasn't endeared me to late nights reading here. Haven't missed a game, although it's fair to say my attention hasn't been 100%. FFS, Studge getting injured again...I've almost lost the will this season...

I still don't understand why Robbie Keane was such a bad signing. The poor guy was under a stupid amount of pressure since his first game. Rafa selling him after 6 months was probably one of the more embarrassing moments of that era.
He was so, so bad for us though. No idea why, he just was. Scored an absolute peach though against Arsenal. Would have liked to see him given more time. Not sure why the hysteria and panic and then selling him 6 months later. I mean he scored more goals than Balo has.

I dont think you realise. 4th was the difficult target with Sturridge. He is out for another 6 weeks means id just be happy with top half this season.

Pending anymore injuries (Henderson could miss the Palace match, Sakho, Enrique and Balotelli might not be 100%)

Our team might look like this in Rodgers mind.

-----------------Borini------------------
Coutinho--------Allen---------Sterling
-----------Gerrard----Can-------------
Moreno---Lovren----Skrtel---Johnson
----------------Mignolet---------------

Subs: Jones, Manquillo, Toure, Lucas, Lallana, Markovic, Lambert

We are screwed.
