I love the comparisons that those idiots do to justify a players value. Here is one i found.

' what an incredible bargain ' (they said)

Romelu Lukaku £28m
Marcos Rojo £16m (+£100k per week wages for Nani)
Mario Balotelli £16m
Javi Garcia £13m
Shane Long £12m
Enner Valencia £12m
Ross McCormack £11m
Jack Rodwell £10m
Gary Medel £10m
Brown Ideye £10m
Divock Origi £10m
Leonardo Ulloa £8m
Leroy Fer £8m

So i decided to do one myself off the top off my head to prove we can all pull names out of our arse, to only select certain ones, that will add weight to your argument. If they think Balotelli is a bargain, what are these names below ? fkn nob heads.

Aaron Ramsey 5m
Gary Cahill 7m
Thibaut Courtois 6m
Fernando 12m
Vincent Kompany 6m
Christian Eriksen 11m
McCarthy 13m
Kevin Mirallas 6m
Jan Vertonghen 9m
Seamus Coleman 60k
Leighton Baines 6m
Wilfried Bony 12m
Yaya Toure 21m

................ and yet they still over look the sheer amount of cash they have spunked on utter tripe. The bargains that don't get mentioned, because they're ****.

Wouldn't have McCarthy on the second list, if I'm totally honest.

Should have made Sterling as Easy-E. The two of them actually have a decent amount in common.

Its ridiculous. I have no idea where it comes from.

Suarez still bit someone after Rodgers amazing man management.

Sturridge is just the usual modern day footballer who wants money and attention. Not some head case who needed "special treatment".

Sterling is just a good footballer who happens to leather birds about the head. No divine intervention there.

End of the day, Jose gave up on Balotelli. If a manager of that calibre turns his back on a player due to attitude, Rodgers has no chance.
 
It may well be paper-trash but all this talk of behaviour codes of conduct being put into his contract shows just how far they are from the BS they spew out about class, dignity and the "Libpewl way" signing a player with his attitude. Milan would have needed a particle accelerator to get him out of the club any faster, and acolytes like Pearce think that rent-a-quote call centre manager Todgers is gonna sort this lad out? No chance.
 
Tony Barrett in today's Times........Brendan Rodgers keen to convert another rough diamond into Liverpool gem

There is no way of dressing this up for anything other than it is, though. This is not a strategic move based on metrics or Moneyball and Liverpool cannot pretend that a scattergun series of inquiries for Radamel Falcao, Edinson Cavani, Karim Benzema and Samuel Eto’o were not born of a growing desperation to acquire a forward after the proposed signing of Loïc Rémy collapsed. It is in this atmosphere of escalating urgency that Balotelli has gone from being a wild-card possibility to a near cast-iron certainty in the blink of an eye.
The combination of Sturridge’s remarkable growth as a player under Rodgers’s tutelage and the sense of decisiveness that the failings of that transfer window provoked are where the logic of Balotelli’s seemingly imminent arrival is to be found. Liverpool are no longer a club who will leave themselves short because of philosophical differences, nor are they afraid of doing the opposite of what is expected if they feel that a player can help them to achieve their objective.

That should read doing the opposite of what they previously stated...in Rodgers case the total rejection of him being a target. Balotelli being the only product on display in a get-rid fire sale is understood I guess...and even then the price was reduced further. I suppose Rodgers sees 16m as being cheap for his next vanity project.....Brendan Braves Balotelli

So Liverpool get another black player and their supporters group them together as representatives of urban crime and decay.

Then they wonder why the world views them as racists.

I was thinking exactly the same! It's also borderline racist but they don't mind a bit of bigotry.

So what he's saying is:

"There's no way of dressing this up...but I'm going to now try and dress this up"
 
I suppose the RS can take solace in the fact this panic buy striker is a lot cheaper and far more talented than Andy Carroll.
