No they haven't - they have committed to signing him full time next summer though. It is true that Monaco want the income next year not this for FFP purposes.

Good news!

Presumably he could just sign the deal on the table...or is he really looking for more? Some cheek.

5starpool

Various sources reporting Henderson to be offered a new 5 year deal as well which can only be good news. He's earned it more than most anyhow, and I'll be delighted to get him tied down for longer.

Here is the Telegraph one.

One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

J Mysterio

Jesus thats brilliant. I dont know why though

Augmerson

It's from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Mysterio.

Here is who is on international duty. Should be a decent recovery time when they come back. Apart from poor Coutinho....he has to go to China and Singapore. Hopefully he gets some time.

I wonder how much of an upgrade Victor Valdes will be on Mignolet if he comes in. A bit of competition is needed though.

Dickerty

I'd love a trip to China and Singapore! But I guess there will be very little sightseeing.
That Singapore Airlines A380 from London :sigh:

Possibly cause Origi is on Loan?

Still Liverpool's player. You'd have thought it would have warranted a mention.

They will be sure to mention him if he scores!

Moreno and Manquillo both in the U-21 squad for Spain.

You could put that guy Jonny's name in front of anyone of the other's names and you've got yourself a decent baddie from a 80s action flick.

Gerrard, Henderson & Lallana up for POTM in September. Hardly a glory month for Liverpool but for me I would give it to Lallana with Henderson a close 2nd.

I'd give it to Sturridge, flawless.

Would definitely give it to lallana, the lad deserves it imo.

Personal fav - Jonny Morata
Hard-man sidekick of Don Manquillo (which sounds like a bottled water)

You should apply for a job in the 'Loan/international Watch' department at LFC , teach them a thing or two about a thing or two

No one deserves it IMO.

Lallana has been slightly above average while surrounded by dross, hardly a ringing endorsement for a £25m signing.

Harry Palmr

Lallanas best moment so far was his Peter Beardsley impression against WBA but that was in October.

Yea I hope they cancel the Xmas party too unless results dramatically improve.

Do you ever get tired of giving out? I'd say you're some craic in in real life.

When we rehire Rafa he'll be fine with us finishing top ten.

Well this is the Standard Chartered Player of The Month award which is awarded every month to the best player in the team that particular month. So someone gets an award every month.

So you think Lallana yeah?

Dickerty

Mr Alan wrote: »

So where is the benchmark? What happened last season when Suarez was walking away with awards, sometimes jointly with Sturridge, and Sterling & Hendo were missing out - should their levels not have seen the need for 4 awards a month?

Or do you only play out negative scenarios?

In fairness, however wins it for September will have been the best of a bad lot.

We know that much, its just the usual "everything is worse than it actually is" hyperbolic nonsense people are reacting to.

Jaysus man a bit of patience. He was out injured for 2 months so missed a full pre-season. You saw a glimpse of Adam's talents last weekend, get him sharp and fully match fit he will be a huge player for us.

Could be worse. You could be a part of the "Everything is awesome!" crowd. :P

Happy 41st Birthday Sami Hyypiä you fcuking legend! That first time volleyed goal v Juventus in 2005 being my fondest memory.

Rodgers stated in the aftermath of the Basel game that Ballotelli was "lacking fitness". If this is the case why is he being
selected and ,given that he's not carrying any obvious injury, how can a top professional club not ensure it's players are performing in peak condition.

He didn't start against WBA did he? Fitness is not just a lack of injury - he arrived three weeks behind the Prem League pace as he was working on Serie A schedule. Maybe that's the issue.

My memory is hazy but I seem to recall a goal he got against Marseille (maybe) when he jinked his way round a couple of people and smacked it in, I think a mate of mine had him at 33/1 FGS in that match, it was a lateish winner IIRC, anyone shed any more light on it?

DVDM93

I've similar feelings watching our lads going off to play for England than I would if I had a son fighting in WW2. Just come home safe lads, as dangerous and all as it is, please!

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

No idea, so here's all of them. Auxerre at the 3 minute mark would be my guess.

Some legendary headers in there - back in the days when we could hit a half decent cross....

Bit of fun...

Yea it was Auxerre, close enough I suppose, albeit it wasn't quite the goal I remembered, I think it was just the sort of goal where Sami had no business popping up and scoring and a cool finish.

Henderson was my player of the month for September for what it's worth.

Was a brutal month anyway football wise and delighted it's finished!
