Topic: Joe Allen - Medical Friday Morning.

[Barefoot Doctor]

Rory Smith was saying in his webchat today that Cole and Aquilani likely won't be here come August 31. So plenty of room for for Allen.

[Regi]

Too many midfielders something will have to give.

My question is; why look to spend 10-15 mill on bringing in another midfielder? Maybe he's looking for Suso to only play a small part next season hence the reason I said it will be difficult for Suso IF we bring in Allen.

I don't see Suso playing any significant part for the first team this season.
He's still a kid with no first team experience.
Talking about him as someone set to play an important role is way too premature IMO.
10 or 20 minutes here and there and a role in the Carling Cup would be plenty at this stage

Going off topic so this is my last on the subject:

Surely he's ready for some first team action - you can bet he thinks he's ready for it. If we hang about with him he'll more than likely get snapped up by one of the big Spanish clubs.

To be honest i just wait and see most journalist seem to be off the mark on most things. Also said there is interest in Theo so did Ben smith yet seem not good enough source for thread to be opened so......

[fowlermagic]

I will be shocked if those who were out on loan last year will still be here when the season kicks off. I dont know the lad not seen much of him but we def need to class up the CM pivot area as we never even got close to replacing Alonso. Honestly I doubt if Allen alone will suffice but time will tell.

[bornandbRED]

Think Tom Fairclough was saying y'day that he's been told both Aqua and Cole are staying...

Also some one said AA was out looking for house the other day but guess we soon find out in few weeks.

Suso is still too inexperienced to play a major role in the first team this upcoming season. Would be detrimental to his development to throw him into the deep end, especially if we have better players that have a greater chance of helping us reach the top four. He'll have his chance and I have faith in the coaching staff that if he's the business then they'll give him ample opportunity, but I'd be surprised if he gets more than a couple of substitute appearances this season.

[kcbworth]

Their average completion was 85.7%

Maybe taking shots and missing isn't considered a misplaced pass and that's why we're so high? Or maybe "goalpost" was a valid receiver of our passes?

[Moe Szyslak]

With the europa league, there should be plenty of chances for the likes of  Suso and Sterling or even the likes of Ibe at a stretch to be eased into first team action

Is that because the source was a certain rag?

Sorry assumed it would be from there "inside men" or where ever they get there information from but if stealing from S*n then my bad

duncan jenkins ‏@duncanjenkinsFC

@Kold_Logic @seanpaulw @Jack_Sear_ sorry mates didnt mean to confuse. ‪#lfc‬ are in for ‪#allen‬ they are trying to do a deal.

Sorry fella's if this is going over old ground but
Who exactly is Dunkin Jenkins is he some kind of jounro or somoene that just knows his shit and no one has a clue who he is ?
Quite often see his name like and he's opbvoulsy well trusted so just wondering

Seems to be a parody account done by a journo. Has in the past been bang on with team news, the Rodgers appointment but not 100% accurate when it comes to transfers.

Its looks that thats where the story originated from.

[Phil_88]

Macca saying that a deal is very close.Good tidy player.

didnt macca call the borini transfer first, or that the fee was agreed.

Rodgers should get him eatin a few stakes, needs to grow stronger

Don't see Suso playing for the first team this season not ready IMO .

At best he might get simliar to what Sterling got last season but expect not as much maybe the odd sub appearance in the Europa league or and carling cup

[cezred]

Its looks that thats where the story originated from.

Was told over a month ago by a mate (player, not at Arsenal) that the Walcott deal hadn't been completely dismissed. I was told Theo was ours if BR wants him. Assumed the deal was dead seeing as so much time has passed since.

[Chalky Boots]

May have done, certainly rings a bell.


As far as Jenkins goes, I've got time for anyone with some inside knowledge who doesn't bring up the excuses whenever it's not bang on (seen as no-one is right all the time). Jenkins at least admits if he's wide of the mark.

Hopefully it s true as he'll make a very good signing.

don't think anyone should blame those who called the Sigurdsson deal. It was a last minute collapse.

[luissuarez]

On the swansea forum they seem to think that he's staying.

Well after calling him C**t yes i stopped! not saying that goes for all fans but don't stop fact that some one did call him that.

[aka_da_saus]

In terms of lfc news.. Journalists for me that I trust totally are 2 smiths and barret... As for itk's there all bullshiters bar Duncan Jenkins.. As for macca.. He is the source I trust the most knows his shit.. And this coming from a man that hates itk's.. So Allen is close he says.. Get fucking in

[Carlos Alberto]

Is allen actually really good? i see everyone getting excited about him so obviously it's getting me excited and i want him to come here.

But how good is he? what if he is another henderson? and what if LFC is too much of a big club for him? what will he offer to the team?

How long is a piece of string?

If that was something to go by, England would be represented in Europe by Everton, QPR, Liverpool, Stoke, Wolves, West Brom and Norwich...

[gorgepir]

That statisticis useless. The thing that would have been more useful would be the percentage of completed passes in the final third. (meaning what percent of passes in the final third were successful- successful passes in the final third divided by the total number of passes in the final third).

This statistic (from what I understand from it) is the percentage of successful passes in the final third divided by the total number of successful passes.


I reserve the right to be wrong.

Macca is a top top source IMHO.

[Renato]

ITK on Liverpool Rumours, he didnt start it or anything but he essentially keeps the site alive. Has his own page and if you look back you'll see he gets almost everything right

You won't see a former manager being called a c**t over here. Well, I guess unless you are a mod.

[farawayred]

Based on the statement that that statistic is an important ingredient for success. Evidently, it is not.
