Not absurd, that’s what they need and it’s the going price. I think people need to realise that the neymar price has changed everything again, you won’t be getting 3 proven top players for coutinho’s price.

it's all absurd. Neymar's price was and by definition so was VVD's. 

Going price as £75m for someone who not won anything in a big league or an international achievement? 

Not being biased by take Maguire for example - similar style defender and bought for just over a fifth of Van Dijk's price tag. 

There's talent out there and I don't think Liverpool needed to spend such an obscene amount for a player like that.

With the money you got you can buy 3 top level players with that money in the summer

they've absurdly spunked more than half of it on Van Dijk already. 

they've been poor all season but this is probably the worst I've seen Brisbane play so far. 

There's only so much you can do with an ancient striker playing alone up top.

That was poor

How would you lot reckon Vidal could do in the premier as a RWB? 

well he's a central midfielder so not very well

That's a silly thing to say mate. I've said it before, South American teams aren't exactly of a top standard, but some of the individual talent there is good enough for Europe. Armani, Guerrero and Mina are the 3 that come to mind.

dont listen to that euro centric Smiley Culture. You don't have to play in Europe to be a top player.

does help though. and look at the rest of his sentence. 'at the biggest club in the world'. Hope he develops and adapts accordingly and to the standard that Barcelona require.

Fans to be subsidised for Sevilla away game. Prices are extortionate as it is so a very good gesture as they say from Utd for their fans.

Christensen has signed a new four and a half year deal with the club. 

Fantastic news. Now to get Hazard and Courtois tied down. 

tied down to Real?

I'm aware this could be a VERY good photoshop effort. 

If not... 

are they not sick of you yet @Anton?

Where you heard this? 

few people on Twitter, one of those being someone I'm good mates with who was on the same course at uni as one of your physios.

What misdemeanours? 

RE Photo - Looks like he’s blowing a balloon up to me. 

Drugs, specifically cocaine.

So is his injury that's had him out for the season all bullshit?

well maybe partly?

It wouldn't be the first time that a club has been a bit secretive about a player's actions by using the injury smokescreen.

there's pictures going round Twitter of Clyne doing nitrous oxide from a balloon (i didn't add the caption).

Also apparently lots of other misdemeanours he's done hence not getting back in to the Liverpool squad

Kevin Mirallas joins Olympiakos on loan. Will leave permanently in the summer you'd think.

Got back from Thailand, Monday. Moved house Tuesday. Cleaned old house Wednesday. Pre wedding banter Thursday. Wedding (and a speech uhh) yesterday. Recovery today. Japan tomorrow. Fuck I'm mad (and quite ill).

Different twist on Craig David's 7 Days song!

An eventful few days for me. Firstly on NYE got with one of my best friends which was pretty awkward. Then yesterday we had to put my dog down at the ripe age of 15 which was awful, then today moved back out of the parents pad and in with three of my mates from school closer to work.

Shattered now.

was he expecting it?

'we'? Didn't know you supported Perth.

Juventus have reached an agreement to sign Emre Can in the summer according to Italian reports.

Yes though I can only admit to knowing 2 or 3 of his songs off the top of my head.

I Giorni is my all time fave. could whack that on any time and instantly feel happy.

Primavera and Oltremare also I enjoy.

Ed Sheeran - Perfect ft Andrea Bocelli

Love the song anyway but even more so with Bocelli in it.

Does anyone else enjoy listening to Ludovico Einaudi?

Interesting to see what's happened at Southampton as they were the new Swansea.

in what respect?

Yesterday's game was quite good between the top 2.

Newcastle Jets surprising everyone so far.

I was going to have some on us -2 when Spurs went down to 9 men, at 2-1, with 15 minutes left.

So of course it ends 6-1.

They're absolutely flying though. I think it's a big problem at Leicester to be honest the lack of youngsters we've produced of any real quality over the years, I don't know if this group are really that good (Sam Hughes and George Thomas seem to be getting a lot of praise) but we do at least now have a manager who is happy to give youngsters those chances and that's something we've needed. No manager's done it here for as long as I can remember.

Also found the above Twitter thread very interesting. It's mainly about Southampton but it reflects well on Puel - and pretty terribly on Southampton (and Les Reed, who I actually did think highly of).

He's recalled Harvey Barnes from his loan at Barnsley as well. Wonder where he'll fit in if Puel does rate him. 

youngsters (+Huth) are killing it
