Losing Mike and Suarez the same week? Been a real bad week for the Liverpool thread.

Did he reach 100k posts? He couldn't have been far off it.

I think I read him saying he was going to close his account when he reached 100k posts.

mike65 thanks for some great posts

That's a real shame.

He will be missed -

I always liked his contributions to the forum...

Aye, same. I hope he's back in some capacity or another shortly. Hopefully he just wanted a break, or a fresh account, and all is still well with the fella.

I can't see why he'd want a fresh account... There is one reason he has closed his account.

I could think of a few.

He would go and leave on a bloody odd number though, 90,093.

Feck sake, Mike. You couldn't just give it 7 posts more?!

The worst fans in the world force Mike65 to close his account.

His last post was this:

Hardly a fond farewell.

If you are gone Mike, best of luck mate. Another boards great.

From the Irish Independent website - "Biting victim Giorgio Chiellini says Luis Suarez's ban is "excessive""

Cue a justification for the 4 month ban being reduced on appeal to 6 international games and 2 months from all football activity allowing FIFA to be seen both as tough on biting and the causes of biting (sorry!!) whist at the same time minimising the punishment so LFC aren't affected too much.

Mike, if you're Reading this, it's been a Pleasure, and you are surely will be Missed here.

Think he got a month's ban this morning so maybe closed it as a reaction to that.

Agent Coulson

This has to be the funniest and best reaction yet:D

Maradona likens Luis Suárez biting ban to being sent to ‘Guantánamo’

Diego Maradona has criticised the “Fifa mafia” following the decision by the game’s global governing body to impose a four-month ban on Luis Suárez for biting an opponent during the World Cup.

He would know a thing or two about mafias :P

We haven't felt loss like this since Torres left.

We'll need a Suarez to step up to the plate now.

Damn the Boseman ruling. We've lost a first team player for nothing.

Just realised I got a PM from Mike about an hour ago in relation to the Lallana link. Said it's confirmed by the telegraph.

rob316

Big fee for Lallana, he's a good player but its a very underwhelming signing IMO.
Still hoping we signing Shaqiri and Sanchez, two players who have genuine top level experience, that's what we need not a 26 year old who has played through the lower leagues his whole career.

Can't see us signing all three. If we get one of Shaqiri or Sanchez then we'll have done OK.

Came in to post the same thing. We would have tangled a lot on here over the years, but the man managed 90k posts of which a substantial ratio were actual posts worth reading. Shame.

I'm pretty happy with Lallana tbh. I think the difference between him and Sanchez/Shaqiri on the pitch for Liverpool would be pretty negilible.

The difference is Sanchez/Shaqiri are exotic signings that are currently flavour of the month with the World Cup.

Morzadec

Well I made my feelings clear about Lallana before, I think it's an excessive fee. He should be a decent player for us, but I can't see him having a huge impact.

The fact we're supposedly in for Sanchez appeases me a lot though, as I thought that the Lallana move might be indicative of an unambitious transfer policy that doesn't take advantage of our CL status.

Getting Sanchez would prove otherwise

in tribute to Mike...if he spent roughly 1 minute thinking/typing each post he would have spent 62.5 days posting, that's impressive

Tusky

Not sure what to think about Lallana. Very good player but not worth anywhere close to £25m. He's only really had a breakthrough season this season and is 26 years old. There has to be better value in the market. Surely Sanchez could have been bought for that?

Grayditch

Just scanning the thread, we've sold Mike for £25 after his ban.

Ah well.

Caen, Lambert and Lallana are all a bit underwhelming to be honest..

Hopefully we're saving the marquee signings for July

rob316

Feck sake Mike was a great poster, hope he comes back.

Don't blame him for closing his account if it is a reaction to his ban, he got a 2nd yellow for nothing. The modding is a bit OTT at the moment IMO.

If you have a major disagreement about something u get a warning or a ban. Its a bit of a joke tbh.

Well apparently we're still interested in Sanchez anyway. I would say they will play,quite different roles too with Lallana more of a midfielder and Sanchez more of a forward. They wouldn't be stepping on each other's toes too much.

I also think that Sanchez's market value would be considerably more than 25m.

If we got him for 30m I would consider it an absolute bargain

What the **** is going on around here?

In fairness the posting rules were relaxed for the WC. Everything was working well and then Suarez tried to eat an Italian and all hell broke lose.

I think right now our transfer priorities need to be a RB, LB and CB.

Apparently the Belgian fella Divock Origi is supposed to be close to being completed. He's look promising during the World Cup anyway

Lallana doesn't address the elephant in the room, replacing Gerrard. Poor world cup, his form also dipped in the last month of the season.

Am not sure Can is ready, Lucas is not the answer either. We'll play Henderson, Lallana and Gerrard i assume, with Sterling, Sturridge +1 (Suarez when fit) in front.

Even more than I'd like to see Sanchez, I'd like to see a real presence, a big name, brought in to take Gerrards place. I can only see Gerrards performances going one direction, and it aint up.

Cartman78

Joe Allen must be wondering what's going on I'd imagine

Has everyone (including Rodgers) forgotten about his existence?

Or we play Henderson, Lallana and Allen? The latter was very good when called upon in the latter stages. Henderson has the mettle to play a more holding role. And we still have Lucas, while we wait for Can to prove himself?

Allen has been good, without being excellent. Champions League and competing in the prem demands more than he offers.

Allen or Anders Herrera?

Allen or Ozil?

Allen or Fabregas?

He's a step below those players unfortunately.

I was about to PM him to change that post because I got an infraction a few months back saying the same thing. just as I refreshed the page the infraction happened, so I was about 10 mins too late. Sorry Mike.

Ozil wasn't up to the demands of the PL and CL together last year and he cost three times what we paid for Allen.
