Scousers how we feeling about Sturridge? 1/2/2013 10:11:10 AM |
aimorris All American 15213 Posts user info edit post |
I actually rate him higher than it seems a lot of others do. He's a very capable replacement/partner for Suarez who has proven he can score goals in the prem. Plus he's young so there's potential for more there.
But for the price, it sure looks like LFC is overpaying for a mediocre talent again. And Demba Ba is 5 mil cheaper. 1/2/2013 10:19:50 AM |
Ribs All American 10713 Posts user info edit post |
I think Ba might be a bit of fool's gold.
He's great when he's healthy, but I've read around that it tough to attain insurance on him due to his chronic knee problems and it's only a matter of time before he breaks down.
Sturridge could make quite a mark if he comes up big when yall play ManU in a couple of weeks 1/2/2013 10:27:03 AM |
aimorris All American 15213 Posts user info edit post |
I think he's worth the gamble at 7 mil though. And I think Dempsey + Ba for 12 would have been a better value than Borini or Sturridge for Liverpool.
Rodgers may turn out to be a good coach but it's pretty clear to me that he sucks at finding value in the transfer market. That could be because of the LFC name and the current state of their roster/club but he has overpaid for every single transfer. So did Dalglish I guess, but FSG's MO was supposed to be finding value and all that other bullshit and Rodgers is their guy. 1/2/2013 10:33:59 AM |

i dunno Ribs, if 'pool get Tom Ince, i can see them having a more solid midfield setup than Spurs
hopefully they don't and he goes to united because he hates them for selling him for peanuts 1/4/2013 7:15:59 PM |

well sure it does, I'm not disputing that. I guess they're already writing off Dempsey/Sigurosson or what? Seems to me like there's going to be 4 players for one position.
Thought they'd be more interested in signing a striker

Well, they're currently signing young players on free transfers. Send them out on loan and if they don't make the first team, sell them on for a profit. Besides, Dempsey isn't exactly a spring chicken and I've been somewhat unimpressed with Sigurdsson when he does play. Striker is really the only position that Spurs don't have much depth or young prospects. Everywhere else, there is intense competition for first-team spots and it's having a positive effect on the club. 1/4/2013 8:53:07 PM |
aimorris All American 15213 Posts user info edit post |
yes, yes, yes. Spurs are the best club in the league, I know
All I'm saying is that SOME of their purchases last summer were fucking dumb

Bought him for £5m and City still pay roughly half his wages? Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty legit signing. He's been injured and Defoe has been in killer form. Adebayor's form will get better but it just hasn't been his time yet. 1/4/2013 9:03:44 PM |
kiljadn All American 44690 Posts user info edit post |
I'd say that out of those signings, the only ones i've seen make a significant impact are Lloris and Vertongen or whatever the fuck
Dembele isn't making nearly the impact at spurs that he had for Fulham Sigurdsson has to be kicking himself for leaving Swansea only to see himself on the bench and Michu making Swans fans forget he ever even existed Dempsey = LOL Adebayor = LOOOOOOOOL 1/5/2013 12:29:09 AM |

Dembele is sporting a 90% pass completion rate this season and iirc is in the top 3 in passes completed in the opponents final 3rd. Among those ~15 players with 90+ in the prem he's only behind Nasri in key passes completed as well. Couple that with being in the top 10 in tackles per match and you've got a pretty nice CM. He can be nitpicked a bit for not finding that ambitious final pass to cut defenses open and not shooting as often as Modders, but hell, nobody's perfect.
Certainly not in the same class as Luka, but very few are. 1/5/2013 11:18:57 AM |
