[Liu Kang]

Damn it just dawned on me.

Wenget signed two of the best young players of the last 10 years in back to back summers

Ballin era

Damn it just dawned on me, we signed Luis Suarez

Bitin Era

As a professional flip-flopper, that was nice

I have no idea what they're saying, but if I had to guess it translates roughly to "Brazil lost"

Argentines been mad disrespectful this tourney. Brazilians must be heated Imagine Argentina winning this Sunday and the fans chanting that in the Maracana
@Hollister, how would you react ?

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

Changed my avy and sig in support of the motherland, wonder if it is ban worthy

So much work and dedication to get that rep

There's a guy with like 3k if I'm not mistaken. I hope to hit that mark :dsteezywin:

 

[NSSVO]

From SAS (Suarez and Sturridge) to LOLS (Lambert, Origi, Lallana, Sturridge)

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

Sky sports reporting 64 milli yeah

And knowing barca, that'll clearly not be all cash upfront

Not gonna lie, i'd be ringing carlos if i were you liverpool man

half are already drowning their sorrows at 1pm

ssn and talksport got liverpool fans crying, did they really expect suarez to be loyal

 

[NSSVO]

Wtf Chelsea Let that African French nikka play for Juve one more year n let him go to Madrid. fukking up plans and shyt.

 

[Gilver]

It's all banter but to think our last two buys are Ozil and Sanchez is so wild to me.

I could remember the 8-2 and losing my power during that game, I can remember 4-4, Van Persie shytting on us on July 4th, Mata falling through, Fabregas going on strike, not even having a hope for Hazard, Squillaci-Silvestre at the Nou Camp , Bendtner miss at Nou Camp, Robin's red at the Nou Camp , thinking Mark Schwarzer was a good summer addition , remember Wenger not paying the extra 3 mil for Alonso, remember Adebayor with the GOAT celebration when he scored against us, all the broken cannons, all the ambition talk, and then to see some one like Sanchez roll up to play with Ozil

This feels way better than Cesc tbh, better fit.

How about 4-4 versus Tottenham on the week of Halloween.

Eduardo breaking his leg

That CL semifinal against United.

The Almunia era.

Genuinely hoping Luiz fukkING Gustavo signed for us

That match at City where we had Gavin Hoyte starting at right back

Nasri's 4 months of being the best player in the league followed by him bolting that summer.

Legit thinking Bendtner, Frimpong, Merida, Coquelin, Eastmond would be great for us.

Oezil was the start of things, but today really feels like Arsenal wont be pushed around financially anymore. The Sanchez signing happened so fast too. Thats what is bugged to me.

And you'll still finish 4th.

 

[phillycavsfan]

Thank fukk that fakkit Suarez has finally left..who is going to be our key signing though? Or are we going to pull another Spurs?

@phillycavsfan, @WickedGames, @rnbroom

Once Sanchez fell through, it's looking more and more like they won't land the big name to replace in this transfer window. It's still early, but I highly doubt it's gonna happen. Right now Rodgers and Ayre are just filling out the roster with enough talent to compete in the CL and league, and I think they're succeeding.

They've acquired a bunch of proven EPL talent (Lallana, Lambert, Wilfried Bony is looking very likely) and young guys who could be great (Can, Markovic, Origi). They're also looking at Antoine Griezmann, but honestly I'd rather just save money until late September or January and wait for the big name.

Of those names, Markovic is really the only one I get really excited over. He's gonna be a star; the only question is when. Him and Lallana are perfect fits for Rodgers' system (athletic, creative, quick on the ball, and hardworking), which is why even though I'm not over the moon about these signings, they're a far cry from how Spurs screwed up. They're not just guys Rodgers rustled up from all over Europe.

My guess they'll add Moreno and Lovren (sigh) to shore up the defense (and finally end Glen Johnson's reign of terror at right back) and then they'll be done. They probably won't be title contenders at the outset, but they're still much, much better than United, Spurs, or Everton.

 

[mastermind]

Barcelona really photoshopped Suarez's head. Club janky as shyt.

 

[thatrapsfan]

So are we gonna act like these Puma kits aren't tacky and sh1t?

 

[SCORCH]

Alexis Sánchez has told Chilean reporters that he wanted a move to Chelsea but José Mourinho declined the chance to sign him. [Santiago Times]

It always hurts to lose a player but Liverpool won. I'm always for flipping players and creating a better foundation. Spurs had that opportunity, Liverpoool have it now.

Suarez was always gonna screw you in the end. As long as they have Sterling and build around him, they're good. Suarez carried them early but late in the season it was Coutinho, Sterling and Henderson stepping up. Lambert and Bony aside they should be happy.

They're selling looser joints but yeah, we took the money and looked the other way.

Will say tho, they appreciated us more than Nike. The kit launch and their social media work has been epic.

remember when I said they signed up lambert early because they were gonna sell suarez and you thought i was delusional.

small club mentality bruh

helped madrid get bale for ozil
helped barca get suarez for sanchez

next we gonna help psg get hazard and get cavani

If Rodgers can sustain this seasons success, then much respect to him. Still think they are nothing with Suarez. He made everything happen for that team. They probably told him, get us to the CL and we will sell you, that nikka tried 1000X harder to get out of Liverpool.
