Canny piece of business by United.
Stoke City agree £13m deal with Liverpool for Joe Allen
Fair well sweet prince…shame, I liked Joe.
Agreed, I was hoping they would hold onto him
If Real don’t steal him now.
Who is there to play CM now?
In the current market, that seems very little for Allen.
Was he out of contract next summer ?
Yes, 1 year left on his deal
Yourself -
Henderson - meh
Lucas - fill a hole but in general meh
Milner - meh, not really a cm
Grujic - untested but promising
After that just youngsters, but looks like Winjaldum is close
No one that can hold the centre and control a game.
Wijnaldum is a bottler, and not a proper central midfielder. A number 10 if anything and not good enough.
Real Madrid are said to have made a call to Juventus asking for a status update on the Pogba situation
This lad is stealing a living at liverpool for nearly a decade. Wonder what money he’s on.
He had one excellent season but it took him an awful long time to get to that level after a bad injury and he never got close to it again
Liverpool are going to buy a top top CM over the summer.
IS CM available though? When’s his flyer distribution contract up?
Liverpool clearing out the dross, Joe Allen will do a job for stoke though in the playmaker role. He never really got a chance at that in Liverpool. Still lacking a CB, CM & CF and who knows at GK.
And a left back.
Alex Manninger
Dortmund have Schurrle now. €32m, they are fairly splashing the cash.
