Melphis Amekia Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Apparently, Klopp said that he'll take a season off so you probably wouldn't have gotten him as a manager anyway. Also, how much do you reckon will Rafa Benitez screw up Real Madrid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mme Erzulie Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Imagine how much shit they must have on Blatter for him to resign just after being reelected. I just hope we get to wallow in the sordid details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Great news although Blatter will still have several more months and presumably strike all kinds of deals to protect himself. That's the end of Qatar 2022. I doubt it will derail Russia 2018, even though the sanctions for invading Ukraine should be enough by itself to force a change for that.

baxus Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I don't know what to think of this signing.On paper, it looks great! On the other hand, so did Lallana, Lovren, Adam, Downing, JOHNSON etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Milner's much better than all those guys. Good signing for Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 LOL @ Adam looking good on paperI think it's a pretty excellent signing. Here's Pellegrini on Milner: . I’m Milner’s No1 fan. Find me a more complete English player. There are players who’re better technically, yes. Quicker players, yes. Players who head better, yes. But show me one who does all the things Milner does well. There isn’t one.“It’s hard to leave him out. Respect, commitment and performance level: 10/10, fantastic. He’s polyfunctional: full-back – the only position he doesn’t like – attacking midfield, wide. I played him as a forward and the team averaged three goals a game. He gives everything. You leave him on the bench and he’s absolutely furious but watch him during the game: encouraging, shouting, supporting. And in the next training session he kills himself.“Milner’s a phenomenon, a guy with big balls and a heart this big,” Pellegrini continues, opening out his hands. “Intelligent, great mentality, one of those players that when you leave him out you’re left with this feeling of injustice; it hurts because he should always play but sometimes you need a technical player with other characteristics. I hope he stays. If he doesn’t it will be because there’s an important offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Say what you will, but Adam had a great season at Blackpool before joining Liverpool.As did quite a few of Liverpool's signings that turned out to be not so good, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, so did Lallana, Lovren, Adam, Downing, JOHNSON etc. Milner at a higher standard than all of those and has the winning mentality (and the medals to go with it) which Liverpool clearly need. Proper bargain for the Scousers and he'll do very well there. He is technically excellent, inventive, hard working and has a goal in him when the going gets tough. Sad to see him leave but it feels like the right time to part ways. Also I'm not sure the £165k per week, 4 year deal City offered him to try and keep him in Manchester would be good value.

Mexal Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I like Milner and he's probably very good for Liverpool though I'm not sure how much difference he will make but it's a good signing.

Hey, I hope he turns out to be the missing piece Liverpool needs to get back to their old ways of winning titles regularly. If that turns out to be the case, there will be few people happier than me. He definitely has the potential to be the major step in that direction, now we just need to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex. Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Crazy numbers, but I guess you have to offer that kind of money when you're fighting against the prospect of big signing bonuses. City offered him it because he's genuinely valued at the club rather than the signing bonus thing. We've offered him contracts for two years but cant guarantee him time in the middle which is what he wants so... he's off. Would take a lot to convince me that Milner is after money anywhere. He's stated consistently it's about the football and Rodgers must have given him some assurances.

polishgenius Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'm really not sure what the point of Liverpool signing basically a 29-year-old version of Jordan Henderson is when the already have the younger version. Yeah, he can play on the wing, but I don't think he's really going to, since they don't really play with wingers very often - it's either wing-backs or outright wide-forwards. Basically a midfield of Can, Henderson and Milner is solid and tough to beat but it wouldn't scare anyone and a team of Liverpool's supposed ambitions should be looking to scare you.

Alex. Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Alex,I didn't mean that Jim was after money, just that a club would feel obliged to offer more anyway given the situation. Yeah I know what you meant. Sorry if I wasn't clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 You still need to find someone who can actually score goals. Milner will definitely help the midfield though. To be honest, I'd prefer a significantly improved defense. Of course, I would definitely jump on board with a great striker joining the club. There's no such thing as a team with too many Hendersons in it! Is this the new "We all dream of a team of Carraghers"? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
