And, we're off.....2016/17

I hope we keep hold of this man, who still thinks he's crap?

Is capable of scoring a wonder goal, but went missing the season before last when we should have been in with a shout of the league - no goals in 15 PL games I think it was.

Have to say that the system at Arsenal typically doesn't suit his style.

Just a difference of opinion.
If Sawtooth rates him so highly then fair enough.
His goal record isn't too bad.
Personally I wouldn't want him as my main striker.

The reason why Giroud doesn't play more is because he isn't as good as you believe

In your opinion Phil 👍🏻

 

[sawtooth]

Sissoko also plays for France - does that make him a star ?

I don't know much about Sissoko, has he scored 17 goals in 17 starts for France?

Very Good record for France - how many of those against the weaker opposition in Qualifying ?

How has he done for Arsenal ? Surely if you want to keep it would be because of his record for Arsenal which isn't great

Maybe he's not best suited to the system at Arsenal or what Wenger is asking him to do. He may score more goals in other set ups.

I think this sums up my feelings about him. Think he's useful as a reserve striker and to come off the bench if things need changing but would prefer him to be a back up to the main striker.

I think you've nailed it there. Giroud plays better with a decent player next to him up front. Arsenal tend to play on the break, with only one up front. Giroud isn't a holding player.

The club apologised and Southampton made a complaint, do you honestly think that would of happened if it was "just what's in the press"

Slightly confusing that you agree with Stu then answer with doubt.

i do agree with Stu but do you always believe what you read in the papers?.
Something has gone on but we are only speculating.
as I said it's all unnecessary.
Liverpool should bite the bullet and publish what went on but I am not holding my breath.

Why should they publish what went on ? What's the point ? No one is naive to think we are the only club to approach players without asking the players club - would suspect comfortably that every club does it. The smart trick is getting away it which we haven't - have had to say sorry and it wouldn't surprise me to see VVD still going to Liverpool. I expect the only people to drag it out will be the Everton fans but then you only have to go back a couple of years to see they got caught and in fact were charged and fined.

But every club hasn't recently been caught doing it.
Liverpool have👍🏻
I can't believe they would be so stupid/arrogant to do it after only just getting a ban from signing academy players.

Southampton are reported to be looking into an illegal approach to Van Dijk from Chelsea with a view to reporting them to the FA.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Southampton need to stop telling tales 😂

 

[Lord Tyrion]

They are going to run out of teams that can afford him shortly. City will pick him up for £20m 😁.

If the player wants to go then the best thing now is to get the best price possible.

If Scotland lose today can the jocks ask for another Independant ref.

Tashy this is saint Phillip of Liverpool you are talking to.

Yes agree with this .
Another really bad call by Klopp if what is reported is true.
But nobody has shown the facts yet just what's in the press.
very poor from reds as he wanted to come here anyway all this was unnecessary.

What's Klopp done wrong?
