Shaktar are doing what Shaktar do trying to squeeze every penny out by leaking stuff about clubs etc but Mkhitaryan's stance is no other club than LFC which us causing Shaktar and their Manager considerable consternation.

........................... Awkward :whistle:

Probably because, despite being talented, we've already got Siggy and Holtby. Eriksen would play in the hole or as the attacking midfielder in the 4-3-3. He most often played on the left in the midfield 3 for Ajax. Most likely the same position Holtby would occupy or maybe even Siggy (although I'd prefer Siggy at LW).

From RAWK, just to prove that it's not just our ITK thread that goes off topic :LOL:

It's a good point though. If you're going to shag a female cartoon character I could think of better options. Like the rabbit from the Cadbury's caramel adverts, or Velma from Scooby-Doo. I would destroy her.

Oops.

I don't mind Toela in general, but he does come across as just taking Liverpool ITK and presenting it as authoritative, undeniable, indisputable fact. When in reality he is probably just quoting the Scouse version of Neil Eatson.

Either playing with Hummels, Subotic, Gundogan, Kuba, Reus, Lewandowski, Bender and Aubameyang or Glen Johnson, Kolo Toure, Joe Allen, Henderson, Downing and Borini.

Such a hard choice.

This. I think he'd be a good match for this left-side creative position.
If he is our target, maybe Levy wants to hijack his Liverpool deal. He's cheaper than the Armenian and we could bid higher than lfc.

Toela mate what happened?

Why would he not got to the Biggest Club in the World™? Were Liverpool not his first choice?

dortmund must be paying him a lot more, that's the only explanation.


His agent was overheard saying something about some creepy guys claiming to be Liverpool scouts chasing them around yelling "WE SAW HIM FIRST!" Think it scared him, frankly.

Cue Toela coming on and saying the Liverpool moved on to other targets that their ace scouts have identified, and that they don't need to be messed around by players that don't only want to sign for Liverpool FC.

They'll probably blame it on that god awful new kit. All set to come, saw what he would be forced to wear, did a U-turn and sped off to Dortmund instead.

It really is the only explanation.
