Welcome back Wayne
Remember when the RS bought this bloke and RAWK had a thread titled something like " The Magician that is Joe Allen".....then as it became obvious even to the deluded one that he was crap the title was changed to " Joe Allen".......

And another £15M bites the dust.......but hey Joe, nice side foot today.........

I would have paid many millions more for this kid. He’s unique in that he’s a British player who is incredible on the ball

“His body work is very intelligent and for a 22-year-old it’s frightening. He’s incredible.”

I think the Liverpool supporters enjoy watching this kid play football,” Rodgers added.

“He is 5ft 6ins but in terms of being a footballer he is 7ft 6ins. He’s absolutely immense. His courage in getting on the ball, how he reads the game and his football intelligence is outstanding.

“We paid £15m for him and I said that very quickly that price would double and people probably laughed at me.

He's best when he sits in front of the defense where his no mistake passing is an attribute. You can build a decent team around him (and Swansea was decent with him). However put him on a bigger squad where he isn't going to get the ball that much and he's kind of useless. Same with Charlie Adam.

He would be a good pickup for say Norwich or Swansea.
