KaKa Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Imagine where Spurs could have been with that Bale money. Completely blew it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 ANy big spending spree will have a number of duds. Always best to add 2-3 rather than 5-6. They did pretty well with the Carrick & Berbatov money mostly. Modric & Bale was the tipping point. How do Porto & Benfica deal with player sales? They just go right back into their S. American network and did up another batch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Liverpool are the worst for it. £180m brought in for Torres, Suarez & Sterling. All the Torres money wasted but saved by Suarez. Proceed to waste most of that but saved by Sterling money. Doin't look to have signed anyone that could go on to be worth £40m+ yet.

Sho Time Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Joe Gomez. He's English, so he'll fetch that no bother after about 10 good games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I think most of Spurs signing made sense on paper; Lamela was a rising star in Italy, Soldado was banging them for fun... Eriksen has done well, I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 It is easy to say in retrospect, but Soldado just seems the exact archetype of a big-money striker that flops in England. The team doesn't play to his strengths, he has no outstanding physical attributes that obviously contribute to the team and finds himself being replaced within in the year. It seems to happen every season. I am very surprised by how underwhelming Lamela has been though. I thought he was on his way to being a top-level star along with Ljajic and Pjanic.

KaKa Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Eriksen has been alright, and has really been the only one to stick. It's incredible they have nothing else to show for that money. Even we had the likes of Cabaye, Ba, Remy, Ben Arfa, Debuchy come and go, and all of those would still get into their team! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I understand that Soldado is also a very lazy at training and doesn't keep himself at shape unless there is someone shouting and keeping him in line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Eriksen has been more than alright imo. For someone that reaches for the top shelf with his adjectives so often, that's an odd description from Kaka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Liverpool have a few players who could fetch big money in a year or two. Moreno is exciting as hell, Benteke will shine. Sturridge is their best player and he wouldn't look out of place at a team like Madrid if he could stay fit. Coutinho will do very well this season as well since he's got actual strikers to pass to. Liverpool have a very strong team now and they'll challenge for the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Coutinho is mostly crap when I see him. That bit of magic aside he's not a consistent menace. Moreno? Looked a liability last season. Sturridge is 25. Nee chance Madrid will be interested for big money in a couple years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Didn't look much cop when he played last season and nowt special at Chelsea. Thrived playing in Liverpool's attacking system with Sterling and of course Suarez. I think he's a very good player, but he's not world class.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 He never played up front for Chelsea, when ever he's played through the middle he's score goals simple as. Also he played 12 times last year and i doubt many of them were starts either, his goal return without Suarez was like a goal a game also who said he was World class? Liverpool fans don't count.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Sturridge's current estimation is a classic case of a player being thought less of due to time on the sidelines. If you took fitness out of it I'd take him over any other striker in the league, he's outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
