Would Vardy be a consideration?  He's already 29 so I can't see him drawing huge interest for any elite level clubs.  Might be a good fit?

 

[The Gator]

Considering Lallana has 8 goals and 9 assists for Liverpool thru 42 games in the Prem, I'd sign on today for 12 and 12 in a season.  And three attacking mids (Coutinho, Firmino) all putting up those numbers would be tough to defend if there was a goal scorer in front of them.

Who's out there that might be gettable in the mold of Sturridge?  A true scorer, but one that's quick, happy with the ball at his feet, and able to link up with the guys behind him?  Gettable for Liverpool I mean.

Embolo

Sturridge, 26

Origi, 21

Embolo, 19

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I'd probably look to Ligue 1.  Lacazette or maybe Batshuayi.  Maybe Modeste out of the Bundesliga or Insigne with Napoli.  Lacazette is probably the most obvious choice.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I think Embolo's still one for the future.  He's a 1 in 3 scorer for the best team in the Swiss league. 

 

[Sinn Fein]

I usually ignore transfer rumors entirely, but I'm seeing Gotze to Liverpool all over the place now.  Anyone have an opinion if that's really a thing?  Also, why did he fall out of favor at Bayern?  And how good was he at Dortmund with Klopp?

Really a shame they stopped photos...... Gotze thinking about Klopp

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Origi has looked interesting lately, but if they pull this together next year they've got to have a proven guy.  Obviously best of all possible worlds is Sturridge stays healthy, but definitely can't count on that and you'd need someone else anyhow.

Dibs for Euros avatar invasion

 

[Sinn Fein]

  Liverpool are 7th in goals/game and 14th in goals conceded/game

I think they have bigger issues than more goal scoring...

 

[Sebowski]

Huge CONMEBOL qualifier tomorrow night: La Albiceleste vs La Verde!  Sebowski, green or blue?   The mighty, valiant Bolivians, or the haughty, primadonna Argies?  I know you'll be pulling for your boy, that little angel DiMaria, to compensate for Merda Messi's missteps & lack of a right foot...#conflictedsebo#

Red, White, and Blue>Verde>Albicelste.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Germany v Italy and Germany with the white shirts and black shorts ... now that is how they are supposed to look.

This is the "Fever 4 the Flava" of footballers with raging boners pics.  Good thing that didn't flare up in the World Cup final.  He'd have been offside from the center circle.

Heyoo!

 

[Kafka]

I hate Thuago Motta...he's not Italian, he's not good, he kills every attack, & he's not Italian...

 

[Kafka]

Bernadeschi

I hate you. I knew it was that pic, and I still ####### looked.

Nobody's calling him El Floppo.

It's the shameless grin that gets me.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Even the international break can't contain the white hot Leicester City.  Vardy and Kante both on the board today. 

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Conte OUT!

Hey, looks like Chelsea legend Yuri Zhirkov scored for Russia against France today.

Two Lukakus now on for Belgium.

Lukaku + Lukaku <> Fellaini

I see FBGs is doing beta testing on the number of likes limit again.

 

[Kafka]

Bluto Blutarsky doesn't like you; sorry, guy...

 

[bentley]

It's the shameless grin that gets me.

It's the fact that every time I see that girl in the bikini, my pants get all Gotzey that gets me.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Oh, did Bluto do something?  I just logged on to clear my customary 30 likes.  Same as any other night...

Own goal in the Japan Syria game (ouch)

GNev out at Valencia.  Will he come back to Match of the Day with a newfound humility?  God, I hope not.

 

[Slapdash]

GNev out at Valencia.  

He was terrible there.  Very entertaining to watch him fail

 

[B Maverick]

#FellainiFanClub: link

The Belgium quote is correct, Fellaini is played out of position at United.  he should be playing left OUT



Ok all joking aside, The Belgium coach is doing the right thing backing his man.  But if he has actually watched the last 3 seasons he would know he is wrong.  He has not fit into the style of play that LVG wants, or United fans have come to expect, no matter where he plays.  He does not have the touch, vision, speed or skill to play the 6.  He doesn't have the charm or style to overcome his need to elbow everyone like Costa does, or the star for Guatamala.

Pretty psyched for Chelsea at Villa, hope there's no conflict with that thing in Spain. Battle of the Caretaker Mangers!  Its on!

Invited my HS team over to watch the game

Barça is so far ahead that this one doesn't have the same gravitas I'm used to. I'm sure I'll start to get fired up tomorrow night. 

 

[CGRdrJoe]

this is the one problem with being on the west coast as I'll probably have to wake up by 7 so that I can watch the Chelsea game off my dvr before heading to the pub for the Liverpool spurs game. By the time Ray comes on the air I'll be #### faced enough to understand every word he is saying.

Wait, wait ...just to be clear..when we're speaking of the Classico, copious amounts of alcohol consumption, & raging boners, we ARE talking about Roma-Lazio, "Derby della Capitale", right?  RIGHT?!?!

I'd have to talked out of not being gay for Totti, if that helps

Oh, it does, Gator,...it does.....

Serie B chat already?

I don't recall Internazionale being brought up in this conversation, goombah...
