Liverpools official twitter confirm signing of Daniel Sturridge from Chelsea.

If this clause wasn't in his contract, we wouldn't be seeing this, obviously. I'd love demba to stay, but it was painfully obvious to anyone who knows football that Demba and Cisse were not made to play together. One of them would probably have to leave. At least now we can keep the one that doesn't have the clause in his contract. Cheers for all the goals, Demba.

Anything more?

This was last season?

There are no quotes from rio there what a sack of shit article.

You're staring at your christmas lights

Just loves a big turkey dinner.

Bang on. The thing I dont get is how Neesy comes on here and tells us all about how we shouldn't believe anything about any transfer deal, and how none of them are ever going to come off. Then straight after says "there is a 1% chance of this deal happening" as if he's spoken to Marseille himself Don't kid yourself Neesy, sat in a pair of crusty Y-fronts, you've got less of a clue than anyone else. Why should we believe you over people who actually have contacts at the club? You don't have to believe me, but too many on here believe everything that's written in the papers. Last transfer window should prove that. I don't think anyone in the last few pages of this thread has been here (on this forum) for less than a few years. Everyone knows how it works, they don't need you to tell them. It's unbelievably condescending, tiresome, and you just look self-satisfied. Fortunately, most people also understand why we're on this forum. To keep up to date with the latest news. Something is in the papers, we read it, take it with a massive pinch of salt, then have a discussion. That process doesn't need moderating by you. Last transfer window didn't prove anything btw, Neesy. The media have been cooking up false transfer rumours for more than a year, you know .

Ben Arfa Anita Cabaye Tiote Marveaux Cisse

Thought he was incredibly selfish today, played well in large parts though.

Pardew said they haven't scanned it, but he might be out of saturday. Doesn't sound too serious tbh, just wish it wasn't our best midfield player out against Arsenal.

It's a forum, everyone is allowed on, even people you consider glory supporters. He's winding people up, yes, but when your team win that's one of the benefits. We all did the same when his scumbags took a deserved tumble when we beat them 3-0. As long as you can keep it to 'banter', there's no problem. At the end of the day, we lost and wouldn't have done so if we were better. That's not his fault.

Easy tiger, it's just a crazy rumour. Nice to dream, though. Even if it happens, then Sigurdsson is still v. young, and perfectly placed to be his replacement. It would make more sense to ask "why bother with Dempsey". In either case, it's because we want to be in four competitions every year. I mean, what kind of crazy person goes into four competitions without adequate cover in every position? http://stickerish.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ISeeWhatYouDidThereBlackSS.png

Neesy's just a pure tit on here tbh. I'm sure he's a lovely guy in real life like, just: I mean, who posts on a Forum, yet doesn't get the concept of conversation and debate?

:lol:

Merry Christmas to one and all this has been the best piece of internet I ever found.

It probably is a gamble, but we're just so fucking shit I'd just like to see something different. Ba feeding off scraps and shooting from half way at least a couple of times a match really irritates me. I also find Cisse a much more likeable footballer.

Cisse's never played in a 442, to be fair. He looks far less suited to it than Ba, maybe because Ba is a better player? Who knows. "thankfully we didn't move Ba out wide where he looked just as poor in front of goal" I don't get this, you're agreeing we're treating Cisse poorly? Like I said, we're not playing well offensively, maybe we could change it up a little see if we can help our world class, 10 million pound signing instead of stringing him out on the wing. I didn't say we were treating Cisse poorly I said he was playing poorly, we aren't scoring many and thankfully we haven't marginalised the only player who currently looks capable of scoring his fair share of goals. Ah man, I can't see how you can't see we're just totally fucking Cisse just so Ba can score goals. Cisse looks shit because he's on the wing. How will he ever prove he's good enough to play up front if he never gets to do so? I want both of them in the team playing well, we'll not get that without changing something, namely the formation or the players in that formation. Cisse shouldn't be on the right, he's god awful there. We are 18 games into the season, why are people talking like Cisse has played the whole season on the wing? He has played a very small percentage there after struggling to score in his natural position. We tend to hoof the ball constantly when we play 442, don't ask me why but we just do. Not saying that this service is entirely suitable for Ba either but it's totally unsuitable for Cisse and Ba is more likely to create something for himself. Suppose what I'm getting at is that Cisse hasn't had the chance to play central in a front 3, a position in which he excelled last season. FWIW I don't think Cisse's been as bad on the wing as is being made out. appreciate good reasoning rather than petty insults (not directed at you at all btw, just nice to read replies that make me think), I am just not confident to move our only player scoring on a consistent basis on the hope someone else will find their form. Fuck you then, man.

Whey I just want to see Cisse back to his best Jon, what do you have against that

I don't see how Ba can clearly be said to be better than Cisse? Because he's played here longer? He hasn't got a significantly better goals:games ratio, and both have had terrible runs of form in terms of scoring goals when played as a right or left forward. The difference being that Cisse looks clueless on the right, and Ba looked fine on the left. I like Ba, I think he's great, I just want to see our best players put in positions they're most comfortable in.

He doesn't have some form of right to any position on the pitch, no matter who will pay him his wages. He's contracted to us, by his own choice, and should fucking play as a left forward if asked . This shouldn't even have to be said. I see it like this: We have 2 players who are as good as each other, and it seems like both of them like to be the main goalscorer. Ba is simply more versatile, and if it means pushing Jonas further back (or even out the team) then Ba should go left, Cisse centre and HBA right. they are our 3 most potent attacking threats, playing in in their most dangerous positions (overall). Seems to make sense, and if you're about to say 'Cisse hasn't proven he can score goals' or something to that effect, just remember how class he was last season. We need to get him back on form, he's vital, and will never get back on form playing on the wing (ffs) or on the bench.
