Sterling one of the most expensive footballers in history !!
Ranieri to Leicester - Will be surprised if that works out.
Van Persie to Turkey - if fit, why get rid of him? If not fit, who would want him?
Schweinstiger to Man U - a great player whom I have always admired but is he in decline? If not, a great signing.

Anyone else think 32.5m for Benteke is absolutely daft? I thought it was only English players who moved for obscene amounts of money. Benteke is a solid PL player but I have never been blown away by him any time I have watched the Villa. You would think Liverpool would have learned their lesson with Carroll.
Agreed RE: Ranieri. He has spent virtually his entire managerial career managing prestigious teams in Italy, Spain and England. How he will do with a team mired in the bottom half of the table - out of his comfort zone - is anyone's guess.
Well, Belgian players are cool so they'll go for more than they're worth.

I wouldn't get caught up in the price myself sure the majority of players are over priced. What I do know about the player in question is that he scores goals as his time at Villa has proved.Originally Posted by TheOneWhoKnocks

Brendan Rogers owns over 100 houses !! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...oes-Court.html

And still he can't accommodate Balotelli!
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Benteke is an absolute monster of a player. A far, far, far superior player to Carroll in every aspect.
The only thing I would say is I don't know how/if he fits with the Rodgers "philosophy"...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

Everton are adamant that Stones will not be sold. Another week perhaps before he leaves ? I actually had never heard of him until this bidding began.

He was the great white hope a few years back. I remember him being a FPL dynamo for about a fortnight.

is this the most predictable comment ever made by one manager about another clubs state of affairs?
"Arsene Wenger backs Eva Carneiro in ongoing Jose Mourinho row"
Watched Wolves vs Hull (how is someone by the name of Conor Coady playing for England at underage level?) which wasn't a bad game (Meyler came on as a sub in the second half and did well) and then went to see Man City thrash Chelsea. The former always seem to start off the season very well and then fade. Had to laugh when the Chelsea physio etc came on to the pitch and the City fans sang "You'll be sacked in the morning".
Gary Birtles on Saturday when commenting on a game made a mixture of "nothing to write home about" and "nothing to sing about" to end up with "nothing to sing home about".

Eamon Dunphy has questioned the quality of the current Manchester United squad and labelled boss Louis van Gaal a “spoofer”, Manchester United won their first two league games of the Barclays Premier League season before being held to a scoreless draw by Newcastle at the weekend.
Speaking to RTÉ 2fm’s Game On, Dunphy said: “I think Van Gaal is a spoofer.
“I said this six months ago and I know that’s a dangerous thing to say, but everything I hear him say and everything he does with the team seems to me as a guy who’s making it up as he goes along.
“The main thing is he doesn’t want to concede goals and he seems to have a lot of bodies behind the ball, no support for Rooney, and a couple of duds in the team.”
Dunphy added: “They were terrible. They don’t really have enough quality players, they don’t have nearly enough quality players.
“This young lad, [Adnan] Januzaj, might become a player, but he’s lightweight.
“The new player, Memphis [Depay], did okay in the Champions League, but he’s raw, he’s a million miles away from being a top player. He wouldn’t get in Manchester City’s reserve team.
“They bring on [Antonio] Valencia - that’s a blast from the past - as a sub.
“[Bastian] Schweinsteiger isn’t fit. They gave Bayern Munich a gift of €20million, because he wouldn’t get in Bayern Munich’s team.”
Elaborating on his doubts on Van Gaal, who has won a Champions League with Ajax and landed league titles in three different countries as well as guiding his native Netherlands to a third-place finish at the World Cup, Dunphy said: “He’s got a very big ego and a presence about him, which is fine, but he’s not doing his stuff.
“The situation with [David] De Gea is a disgrace. I mean, he’s sitting in the stand and it looks like it’s a game of poker, but Real Madrid have four aces and Van Gaal has a pair of deuces.
“De Gea is going to walk for free, he can do a deal in January and he’s worth €35 million.”

Don't think he is much either tbf. Amount of money he squandered already
Dunphy calling somebody a spoofer, you couldn't make it up.
Last time West Ham won at Anfield President Kennedy was announcing his ill fated trip to Dallas later that year. That's a lot of games.

I am impressed. Both Everton and WBA stand firm against bids for their players by so-called bigger clubs. Everton in particular must be praised for resisting Chelsea's overtures.

So farewell then Brendan Rogers. €300 million later (albeit some with recouped with sales), who will be next to try and rekindle the flames of former glories ?
Interesting that none of the promoted teams fills the bottom three spots. All three big clubs. Aston Villa has been a club in decline for the past 3 or 4 seasons and whether Tim Sherwood has the ability to turn that around, who knows. Nigel Pearson to Sunderland ? Chelsea just above the relegation zone. All quite interesting.

All the talk seems to be Klopp for Liverpool. We will know soon enough.
