But also just read he gets a 6 figure bonus for making it past the transfer window.


That boggles my mind that we included that knowing that

a) He was a big gamble
b) No one else really wanted him, so we kinda held the bargaining power

That's really not that significant. Doesn't he make 6 figures or damn near close to it per week in wages?

i said it before we even got him he wouldn't be worth the risk..... i know we were in a bad spot at striker at the time, but i was adamant that i didn't want him.... especially for the price....

lost time, lost money, lost games, all on a failed experiment.... nice...

On a different note, I know some of you go to Finn's. I got off Monday, what is a good time to get there?

It will be pretty empty because its a work day. I'll be leaving work to get there at 1:30 and I'm about 30 minutes away, if that gives you an idea.

Odds Firmino starts over Lallana? Nothing but praise from Rodgers all week over Firmino's work ethic.

Hopefully high! He needs a match of exposure so he knows what to expect against Arsenal and others in this opening gauntlet we have to run.

Any thoughts on the Illamerendi rumors? I don't know much about him, but it looks like Lucas will be shown the door. Sounds like it could be a good move.

Seen connections between us and him throughout the window. Lucas obviously is at odds with Rodgers, so I think it would be mutually beneficial. Illamerendi (sp?) is a good player, so I would be fine with that. Hopefully sooner than later.

He's definitely not a like for like player as Lucas as he's more of a Xabi, just not at his level. He's an upgrade over Joe Allen. I just don't understand getting rid of your only DM...

If you won't use him anyway, why have him?

That is the logic here.

Except that we have needed him and he's performed each of the last three seasons.

I am ok with Lucas going - but joe "glass" Allen and a young CAn should not necessarily be our only defensive options in midfield.

I think firmino has to start today and go at least '60. If there is any push to have him start against arsenal he needs a run through in this game.

I think Gomez starts today to get experience but this is normally the type of game I might rather see Moreno in.

Looking forward to seeing some better link up with bentenke today.

i think he gives you options... If he comes, maybe BR sees him in the role Stevie held in our title run... I think he has a skill set that we currently don't have... a DLP

The only lineup change I would make from last week is to start Firmino over Lallana. Keep everything else the same.

I would start Can/Firmino and bench Ibe/Lallana... play a 433
