Sunderland v Liverpool match thread

[JPK]

Wow, I am amazed. I thought he was absolutely awful, and far from tidy: late fouls, misplaced passes, and letting Sunderland run rings around him.

GET Kuyt off. Why does he look good for holland and **** for us

International football is slower thus they have more time and space on the ball.

see mr Gob****e is in the crowd today. Someone sell him some magic beans

[Kenneth]

Keane looks about 18 million overpriced so far. He can only get better. He'll score a winner, mark my words.

Orange Kit.

Rafa has spent £70 million pounds on 10 strikers in 5 years at the club? Is this true? Commentator on Setanta says so.

As usual it is one sided ignorant crap.

By my reckoning (figures from Soccerbase so, some of the fees are a bit out)

Moro 6.3
Crouch 7
Fowler 0
Bellamy 6
Kuyt 9
Voronin 0
Nemeth 0
Torres 20
Babel 11.5 (debatable if bought to be a striker)
Keane 20.3
Ngog 1.5

I reckon that's 81.6m for 11 players. It's worth pointing out that if you're going to reference the price to goals scored you should allow for the fact that a quarter of that figure has played all of 0.5 league games so far!

For the record, sales

Le Tallec 1.5
Crouch 9
Bellamy 7.5
Fowler 0
Mellor 0
Sinama 2.7
Cisse 6
Baros 6.5
Moro 3
Owen 8
Diouf 2.5(!)

11 out for 46.7

So 11 in, 11 out for net spend c. 34.9, of which 21.8 has only just started, so net spend for all those goals so far is just 13.1, and if you're not convinced Babel was bought as a striker, then its £1.6 measly million squid.

Amazing what you can do with figures, eh?

[Leyton388]

wow the stadium of light cost 22m to build. we chose the wrong time to build a new ground

[Tatterdemalion]

Light doesn't cost much though.

I think we're building a steel one.

[JPK]

Different team since Alonso came on. Kuyt would want to buck up his ideas

[JPK]

Light doesn't cost much though.

I think we're building a steel one.

It's just a hologram - they're actually playing in a car park.

Roy will be fuming if he hears that. Remember Saipan

[rage]

[Roboklopp]

A lighter shade of **** at the mo.
