You would think with the amount of money Liverpool received for Suarez they could sign someone better and more reliable than Balotelli.

Yeah because that's all the Suarez money spent on

You're forgetting they also signed Lambert.

That was before Suarez money came in

 

[HowHigh]

Lambert was his replacement, the rest are just for squad depth

 

[saint.nick]

Reus would be handy for the odd cup game...

It wasn't spent on any world class players, that's for sure.

 

[saint.nick]

If Balotelli calms down it will be.

We did need depth though and Balotelli could prove to be an absolute bargain
Didn't get a replacement for Suarez though fair enough.

 

[saint.nick]

You CAN'T get a replacement for Suarez. It's just tabloid language.

 

[Big Sam]

We don't buy world class. We buy very good players and turn them world class just like Suarez, Torres, Mascherano, Alonso etc.

You may think we've wasted the money but you won't be saying that if Markovic/Can/Moreno/Lovren are stars in 2-3 years' time.

 

[saint.nick]

Rodgers trying to break that trend with chasing Falcao though :lol:

 

[Big Sam]

I'm still of the view that he peaked at Atletico. I wouldn't call him world class.

 

[saint.nick]

Well I'm fine with that then. If he's world class, he'll join Los Blancos. If he's very good, he'll join us.

 

[Jack_Napier]

The moment Di Maria leaves Madrid, Falcao will sign. How ridiculous is the El Classico going to be in October with the front 3 from both sides running amok.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

He is an overrated fruit loop.

Most of those players look like good signings, I never said otherwise. But Balotelli is a waste of time and money.

 

[saint.nick]

Balotelli's skill is far from overrated.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Balotelli's skill is far from overrated.

No point of brief flashes of skill when it is laced with laziness and petulance.

Look, if Balotelli had a brain he COULD be a good player, but it's a long shot. As an Italy fan his performance vs. Uruguay in the WC was the final straw: when the coach is forced to replace you in a must win at halftime because you are a lazy, walking red card...it's just embarrassing.

You guys have actually been negotiating with Balo for a few months now and originally he wasn't interested neither were Milan, but Milan had to sell to fork out for Martinez.

Balo likes to take centre stage to he was talked into leaving at the time Remy was having is medical hence all the hush hush about Remy's medical. Scousers actually reneged on Remy at that time and concentrated on Balo and the rest is history.

Allegedly.

 

[saint.nick]

Interesting. I've heard that Remy failed a drug test, and had been detected of a heart strain. Liverpool didn't need to tell everyone about Remy failing a medical. They never announced that a deal had been agreed in the first place, nor did they announce anything related to Remy at all for that matter. Therefore, to suddenly come out and say Remy has failed a medical would look bizarre.
