Klopp has been at Liverpool for 5 years and despite all the talk of him being this historic coach that plays scintillating football he still hasn't won a damn thing in England. All the muppets wanking over Klopp right now would have been calling for his head if he was here after year 2 or 3...

Arthur came from the Brazilian league. La Liga is much stronger. Semedo came from the Portuguese league. La Liga is much stronger. Malcom came from a midtable French side and had no big clubs interested in him. He simply isn't good enough. Dembele played in an open, counter attacking Dortmund...

:lol::lol::lol: Like we didn't just sign De Jong, Malcom, Lenglet, Dembele, Arthur, Semedo, Todibo, Wague etc. in the last two years. Get a grip, we can't sign every promising young player. Stop moaning will you.

I'm not Pep's biggest admirer, but the man is still a good coach with enough common sense. The current version of Busquets wouldn't get anywhere near Pep's team in 2019. Even he has adapted and evolved to some extent and now opts for Fernandinho as his DM of choice who in addition to keeping...

Board's mouthpiece confirms the news. Welcome!

I knew the deal was finalized the moment he officially announced his departure from Atleti. The media circus will continue and many on here will gleefully gobble up the utter shite spewed from tabloids as they change their verdict every two days. This also means one of Coutinho or Dembele has...

An Arthur, FDJ, Busi midfield would be great at playing triangles in our own half, keeping sterile possession and getting steamrolled by teams with a physical presence in the middle of the park. Out of the three only FDJ is average defensively. Busi looks like a paralyzed octopus in...

I understand what you're saying and in theory the solution is very simple, isn't it? Bench the old, physically incapacitated seniors and inject youth and fresh blood into the squad! In practice this situation presents the coach with many more problems. EV had two options: 1. Compromise his...

1134000181551259648 Maybe the board feel that an almost 29 year old Neymar with two years left on his deal would be easier to purchase than if we were to go in for him this summer?

ztZI0Klm7V4 Friendly reminder that Valverde tried his famous high press that worked to great effect in his stint at Athletic Bilbao in his early days here, but the team couldn't cope with the physical rigours and the tactic was dropped soon after. He also went back to Messi at false 9 for his...

Valverde winning 5-1 over two legs against Lucho's Barca with Athletic Bilbao is still significantly more impressive than Sarri beating this pathetic excuse of an Arsenal side with Chelsea. The prestige of the Europa League is obviously a lot greater than that of the Spanish Supercup, but in a...

I can't help but want him back. His off-field antics can be a bit much and he does have a massive ego, but his mentality on the pitch is something this team really lacks right now. Neymar never quits, always fights to the death, is proactive in times of adversity and places the burden on...

I was nervous that we would sack Valverde only to replace him with an inferior substitute like Koeman or Martinez. I was naturally relieved when the club made the decision that I thought was correct in the end. I ended up spending a large part of the day dwelling on those rumours as I am die...

Why is it that when players like Coutinho and Roberto struggle it's all down to their own limitations and shortcomings, but when the likes of Arthur, Dembele and Semedo fail to impress all the blame lies on the shoulders of that evil boogeyman Valverde? The double standard is comical.

1133790459099209729 My views are in line with the board and Messi. Your views are only shared by rampant, foaming at the mouth, nameless, faceless, #ValverdeOut spamming basement dwellers. So who's the troll again? You just can't handle people with other opinions and resort to mob rule to...

Despite all his flaws and limitations keeping Valverde was always going to be the correct decision. I must admit I was close to losing my cool as the first rumours of Valverde being sacked started to circulate yesterday and struggled to concentrate through the day. I felt a palpable sense of...

De Jong is twice the talent Arthur is. This doesn't mean De Jong is going be a guaranteed star, far from it. It also doesn't mean Arthur is doomed to failure either, but De Jong will have much better odds of making it here and it will be clear from day 1 he is a vastly superior prospect to...

Sure, but Raki and Busi are legends of the club that have won everything there is to win in club football, have been consistent starters for years now under multiple managers and are massive voices in the present day Barcelona locker room. Not to mention they're both still very good players...

I'm sure De Jong and our other midfield recruits are just quaking in their boots at the prospect of having to beat out the formidable, world-renowned, fearsome duo of Carles Alena and Riqui Puig for a spot. Don't forget about that washed up thug Vidal and fat shite, forever injured backpass...
