sterling is good going forward...last 4 seasons 10 goals, 11 goals, 10 goals, 11 goals and he is still only 22

Stats are not something I'm too fond of. He's headless and braindead footballwise in comparison to the others. I'd be surprised if he gets past this season with them

Swansea confirming Renato Sanches transfer. Strangest transfer of the summer imo but could prove to be beneficial for both sides. Decent replacement for Siggy i guess

yes but like i said he is only 22. a bit like rashford and martial with us, they will only improve. you are comparing him with players that are 6,7 8 years ahead of him in development.

19 year old loan deal to a club where he has worked with the manager before. great for all parties involved

Completely forgot about him. Granted he came in a bad period but such a nothing player.

So City look to be closing in on a deal for Sanchez, with Arsenal confident of getting Lemar.

Have to admit its disappointing we didn't go for either in that case. If both are get-table then we should have at least thrown our hat in the ring. With Aurier going to Spurs its a slightly disappointing end to the window. All good players in positions we could do with an addition.

Unless we are working on Mahrez then we have an excuse, but the latest rumor is Mahrez opted to stay behind in London with his agent to get a deal done in case anyone came in for him which it looks like is not the case.. Always felt we needed 4 players this window to add to last seasons squad, not the three we added (not counting Zlatan as he was a squad member last season).

Wonder where this guy is going to end up. He clearly wants out of Leceister if he left the national team

Mahrez is at home on the sofa photoshopping himself into different airport photos for the craic.

You state them being young and say the will only improve, which isnt true. They have the potential to improve and decline. Look at Martial, 2 seasons ago he looked like a great buy, yet he had a poor second season and didnt improve on his first season.

Just because someone is young and full of potential, doesnt mean they are a banker to improve.

Probably be a 4123 formation I'd say silva and deBruyne behind the front 3 with Fernandinho holding.

Very suspect on the break tbf and will probably have a lot of 4-3 wins

And considering they pretty much play with wing backs, counter attacking against them could be profitable

Pep cant make a defence. Even with Sanchez they will struggle to score enough to make up for the awful defence. Wait till Kompany gets crocked aswell.

Lemar turning down AFC as he prefers move to Liverpool are the latest reports.

Lemar is good, if true its a shame we didn't make a move


Chelsea and Arsenal both getting snubbed though in favor of pool not sure if that makes me happy or angry

he now has walker, mendy, kompany back fit, stones and otamendi. The goalkeeper looks good as well. he has a championship winning team, same as us, will be a fascinating season

if you are a player and the choice is Arsene Wenger or Jurgen Klopp, you are going to klopp all day long

Really Klopp reminds me of a salesman that promises so much and never delivers, in England so far his Dortmund reputation hasn't figured in yet.

I'm grateful we didn't have a De Gea saga this summer.

he got liverpool a top 4 finish last season and has one of the most exciting attacking teams in england right now. he is a superb manager imo

Tuanzabe looking to be headed on loan,Hull interested.

They played 20 odd games less than us and fell over the line for 4th, finishing what, 3 or 4 points ahead of us?

No more than Pep he is capable of having a team that looks great going forward but very suspect at the back.

Time will tell if he is as good as some would have you believe.

They play exciting attacking football but that means **** all if they can't win anything.

only 1 team can win the league, if either jose or pep doesnt win it this year it will be considered a failure. doesnt mean they are bad managers though

I don't think it would be a failure if Jose doesn't win it this season. It would be a failure if Pep doesn't though!

More to play for than the league.Klopp has won nothing in England.He can't be considered close to Pep or Jose until he starts winning silverware regularly.
Never said he was a bad manager but still has a lot to prove until he can be classed as one of the best.

isnt it a failure for any team that sets out for to win the league not to win it which im sure jose is targeting.

failure is too strong of a word depending on cup results

It would be a failure if you are the clear favourite to win it, Utd haven't been clear favourites to win it in quite some time.

Unsuccessful is the word id choose to use seeing as Utd are not and haven't been favourites to win it in a long time, City are the favourites in every major bokkies so surely if they dont win it, theyve failed no?

he is managing liverpool though, will be extremely difficult for him to win a league title considering the money utd chelsea and city have spent over the last few years. What he did with dortmund was class and he is building a very good team at liverpool now (kills me to say it)
