Pelle and Osvaldo in the changing room could be interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEDqbmf8Ixc

I think we are more a high class prostitute - at least we are being paid good money to be bent over and f***ed.

I admire your positivity but I recall Lowe saying something similar the last time we had a Dutch experiment. For me, the proof of the pudding will be in whether we bring in quality (international standard) replacements. If not we are simply going backwards.

Umm maybe its like with an r on it - like Peller.

I've heard a rumour that some of your players are being coveted by Bradford and Colchester - nothing you can do to hold on to them - at least the £30k fee can be re-invested in to paying for some penalty spots on the training pitch.

Erwin Mulder/Joop Hiele?

Exactly. Are people really that naïve ffs.

He has forgotten to give us his watch back.

I think its clear that the Shaw and Lallana deals were effectively done before the World Cup. With this in mind you would like to think that the club have the replacements lined up and they will be announced shortly after the departures are. The quality of this signings and the message it sends will be interesting - from what Guan has alluded to we may be in for a pleasant surprise. Let's hope so.

Excellent - good news and thanks Guan.

Really good point - we would have been lucky to have got £2 million at the time.

How do you know we haven't? I would imagine a deal has been done elsewhere and is waiting to be confirmed once the Shaw deal has gone through.

A fantastic talent, of that there is no doubt and will be very difficult to replace...but, if the player wants to go and we have secured the fee that has been reported then it is good business for all parties.

The papers are getting desperate - same old regurgitated stories day after day - some with quotes that are weeks old.

We need to keep Fonte as back up, add to Lovren and release Jos and Maya.

At least we agree on something.

That's because you are an idiot.

Gaston on for Uruguay

Does Wilshere ever look up ffs?

Don't get people on here started on speaker systems - the PA system has ruined many a matchday experience...apparently.

True. I'd still prefer something by the Stone Roses personally

Isn't this just William Blake being ironic about England? I remember being taught in school that the whole things was basically a **** take saying that England was actually a **** hole so why on earth would Jesus have bothered visiting (as was rumoured apparently during the period he wrote it), the notion being ridiculous. Maybe I just had an odd English teacher.

This is said every time we screw up at a major tournament and nothing ever changes. English football has stood still for years whilst the so called "lesser" nations have not only improved but overtaken us in respect of technicality with the ball.

Honestly, yes. I know that this might seem like it is with the benefit of hindsight but Johnson is Liverpool's weakest link by a mile, let alone England's and Gerrard's legs went the season before last although I know where you are coming from ref. systems - Pirlo's legs have also gone but he is brilliant in the role he is being asked to do.

Lampard and Gerrard in the same squad, or even in the squad, is not forward thinking - and as for Glenn Johnson.....he is the one player that makes me still optimistic of a call up.
