a1ex2001 Posted 10 February, 2017 Share Posted 10 February, 2017 McCann and Kenton both left after relegation (Kenton only on loan though). I think the sale of Crouchie was to ensure we could pay for the stadium, given that we only spent £90k on transfers that season. I seem to remeber him saying he was staying and then Liverpool came in and obviously he had to go, it was certainly a move he would have been mad to turn down. Seriously good player for us and I'm sure would have been a legend had we stayed up. Those were seriously dark days season 1 was our best chance to bounce back and our summer business was ridiculous 90k and some bang average freebies and loans.

He's not going to stay there for long if he keeps improving. i agree, he will end up with one of the really big clubs either here or more likely Spain.

It's a shame he could only be bothered to try for some of our games rather than all of them, we might have got a bit more cash for him (we probably ought to have done anyway). I had reservations about whether he'd be consistent enough but is showing that he's capable of pulling it out every week for Liverpool. Much to my chagrin!

I had reservations about whether he'd be consistent enough but is showing that he's capable of pulling it out every week for Liverpool. Much to my chagrin! I must say I can't agree. His form was hit and miss last season but I could never fault his workrate, which is one of the attributes that I think separates him from other good players. Hazard for example is fantastic, but doesn't bring exceptional workrate, as many extremely talented players don't. Mane, even when not at his best last season, was normally one of the hardest workers on the pitch in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb player and could go on to be one of the best in the world. He is already one of the top 5 PL attackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackanorySFC Posted 23 February, 2017 Share Posted 23 February, 2017 What's La Rat won? Worst by far of all the defectors for me, another 3 years there simply means a better chance of finishing his career cash rich but medal free. That'll suit him as he's clearly an empty shell of a human with zero integrity so trophies/ glory an alien concept to him. Also helps us to get points off them when he inevitably melts playing us.

It's pathetic Southampton fans laughing at a player being "medal free" , we've been "medal free" for nearly 50 ****ing years. He left to play for a bigger club, to play in the champions league, to earn more money & to win things. Even if we win Saturday, I'm pretty sure he'll match that by the end of his Liverpool career.

He was always going to earn big money by moving, and Iam very surprised he is at that wage level, it is something that turns me off modern football, ask these people to pass the ball 100 times 10 yards and they'd miss a lot of the time, as for missing the first defender with a cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
