Good to see Flanagan back after so long out. 18 months is a hell of along time out of a young blokes career. Hope he can stay injury free and have a decent run in the team.

Aye he will add the defensive solidity they have been missing

"giggle"

Smell the panic in here.

Not quite as much as when Klopp came but similar levels to when they signed Milner on a free. Just laugh at them and don't go into a big girlie panic when they're linked with anyone ffs.

Late developer, until like 24 he was regarded as a good solid player but nothing amazing but he has came on massively over the last two seasons mate, also now he is central to everything they do and it suits him, he isn't the typical Brazilian lightweight who can be easily bullied out the game and has a bit of drive/snide about him.

Overall one who i hope goes elsewhere

He'd have the same type of impact over here that Payet/Mahrez has done - but I think he would sustain it

If he's as good as Willian they'd have a player. I wasn't fussy on him at first but once he got a season here under his belt he's been impressive.

has the same type of work rate and attitude as well mate, as far removed from Firminho/Coutinho 1 game in when i can be arsed attitude as possible.

Shaktar has been a pretty good conveyor belt for Brazilian players recently - ones who tend to have a bit less of the pansy attitude as well

The panic would only come from me if they signed someone of the class of Reus. He is a very good player. I cant imagine him going anywhere where CL participation isn't nailed on though.

Klopp will struggle to get top class in as long as LFC are struggling to qualify.

If one of the CL big boys show an interest it's game over for Liverpool. Given the lack of movement for him though they might just get him if they improve their offer.

Wouldn't even be arsed if they sign someone of the quality of Reus.

The reports i have seen about him over the last year - the major reason he wants to move is to get into the Brazil squad - bigger league - more profile etc, the one worry would be the fact the rs have a couple of the internationals their already may sway him - but IF Chelsea come in then 100% he will be off there in preference as he has basically courted them a few times when asked about their interest

Doesn't matter who they sign, they will still be crap........

Edit.....if they signed Jose Mourinho I might be worried......

Strange that he hasn't had a single full cap yet?

His record in the CL is fairl average. Will struggle big time. Not that they'll get him anyway.

Dont think they will make CL so no worries there.

bluestevon · January 21, 2016

On reflection though i think Liverpool by coming in with such a low offer 24-25m on a player they have stated prior they value at more like 40m are risking rubbing them up the wrong way and one thing you don't want to do is piss of a Ukrainian club your trying to do business with

Dunga is the manager mate, Bernard his team mate hasn't been called up since Dunga took charge either after being a pretty much regular on call ups for a couple of years prior.

Costa only got called up after the world cup as well despite very good form in that league and Willian only got a call up after his move to Chelsea, basically playing their is a death sentence for an international career for Brazil

When for your position your competing against Coutinho (rs), Firminho (rs), Oscar (Chelsea), Willian (Chelsea), Costa (Bayern) and Neymar (Barca) - probably left a few out their as well, then your basically screwed if your not playing in a major high profile league

Darth Vader · January 21, 2016

Obviously all the big clubs will now have a bidding war over him given he's a beast who's destined for world player of the year

Piss the beds all over the gaff, change yer sheets
