He fell off a cliff after joining Chelsea, I guess he just wanted to get away from that, its good to see players like him and KDB flourishing after leaving.
Surprised you think its good to see when he just about scores every time he plays you guys

He was Chelsea'd 6 months before he got to us. So it doesn't really fit your angle.
Not really. He did actually have a pretty good January 2011 for us IIRC and ended up scoring more goals for LFC in calendar year 2011 then Chelsea despite playing only 1 month for us :)

Here are a few of my favourites.

Roberto Baggio - Il Divino Codino (The Divine Ponytail)
Robbie Fowler - God
Leo Messi - La Pulga (The Flea)
Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu - Dave
Luis Suarez - El Pistolero (The Gunslinger) or The Cannibal of Ajax or the Vampire of Montevideo
Jon Flanagan - Scouse Cafu
Andres Iniesta - El Cerebro (The Brain)
Phillipe Lamb - The Magic Dwarf
Phillipe Coutinho - The Magician
Frank Ribery - Scarface
Eusebio - Pantera Negra (The Black Panther)
Fitz Hall - One Size

Some classics in there...

Dare I say it, after the derby scoreline, that poor Everton lad won't be going back to see any matches anytime soon. :confused:

Class by Ings though.

One Size for Fitz Hall is a good one!

Probably doesn't belong with these but loved how Sir Bobby used to call Shola 'Carl Cort'. :p

Daily mail reporting Sanchez Flores might be facing the sack. Surely not! Survival + cup semi wtf
Haven't they had like 10 different managers in the last two years (maybe a slight exaggeration) or something ridiculous like that? Maybe the chairman just has an itchy trigger finger and doesn't like anything too settled or has really high expectations. On the face of it though it would seem harsh, he seems like a good manager and he always speaks well in the press.

This doesn't surprise me. I'm pretty sure he has a charity to help either disabled or under-privileged kid or both in the North of England that he puts a lot of time and money into. I was disappointed when he chose Liverpool over us at the start of the season because he seems like a really good human being and a quality footballer as well, but I'm pretty sure the allure of being close to his charity organisation was one of the main reasons he decided to stay up North.
