I can't wait for the altered "Where's our 10th signing of the Summer? We're a joke" thread. Closely followed by something about brilliant Spurs are, again.

I'm know I'm boring people with my little digs but I don't care. Sometimes I find it reassuring that I can sink to the same level as the other repetitive bellends.
 
Just signed him in FIFA and got man of the match on debut.
For that reason alone, he's going to be a fucking beast.
Le Beast.
 
I think we'll now have the confidence to really go for it at Anfield, against a team that are nowhere near Chelsea's quality despite some decent summer additions. In particular, there's no way Liverpool have the defensive players to thwart our strikers the way Chelsea's team did so well tonight.

Hehe. Stupid fucking Manc
 
the bbc say we are paying 18m for this lad . for that price you'd expect him to go straight into the starting line up (if fit) .
 
Liverpool Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of French international defender Mamadou Sakho from Paris Saint-Germain.

4834__7750__25_522427fb5dd25292379058.jpg

The 23-year-old put pen to paper on a long-term contract with the Reds at Melwood after successfully passing a medical at the club's training complex.
After completing his move, Sakho told Liverpoolfc.com: "I'm delighted to be here. I'd like to thank everyone for the welcome.
"I came here because the project that is in place at Liverpool interests me. I'm really looking forward to playing my first game."
Sakho is capable of playing in central defence or at left-back and has made 14 appearances for his country since an international debut against England in November 2010.

After progressing through the French giants' youth academy, the defender made his debut for PSG in 2007 and played a total of 201 games for the capital club.

During more than six years in the first team there, he collected three major trophies - the Ligue 1 title, the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue - and was named the country's young player of the year at the end of 2010-11.
"I'm really looking forward to cracking on with work and I can't wait to get on pitch," continued Sakho.
"I know the Liverpool fans are fantastic and while I was in France, it was clear for me to see they are amongst the best in England."

Sakho becomes the Reds' seventh signing of the summer transfer window, joining Luis Alberto, Iago Aspas, Aly Cissokho, Tiago Ilori, Simon Mignolet and Kolo Toure in Brendan Rodgers' squad.

£15m according to the echo, but yes, same sentiment, i think he'll be starting.

We'll see. Brendan seems to be bringing back pass and move, which Shanks (Happy Birthday, big man) originally introduced to the club. Another feature of the glory years was that big signings often *didn't* go straight into the side, but had a spell in the ressies first to learn the Liverpool way of playing - and look at the results that helped to produce. I can't help wondering whether we're thinking about bringing that back as well, especially when you look at the number of CBs we've signed this summer.
 
I get the feeling he's going to be a beast. 2-3 years back he was the most sought after CB in europe, and he's come from PSG. I'm sure he's a decent LB too.

I doubt a 15m CB's going to be playing for the reserves!! The reserves now is purely for the sake of youth development, which I'm happy with.
 
Oh no, not another Toure? :s

Sakho began the 2011–12 season as the club's first-choice captain under Kombouaré. On 13 August 2011, in the club's second league match of the season, he suffered a hamstring injury.[33] Despite initially being ruled out for three weeks, Sakho missed two months and returned to the team in its 3–1 away win over Ajaccio. He remained a fixture in the team for the rest of the autumn campaign as Paris Saint-Germain finished the first half of the league in first place position.[34] In January 2012, Kombouaré resigned from his position. He was replaced by Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti. Under the helm of Ancelotti, Sakho retained the captaincy and appeared as a starter through March. However, after unconvincing performances in draws with Lyon, Caen, and Bordeaux, which resulted in the club losing its grip on first place, the captain was benched by Ancelotti and stripped of the captaincy. Ancelotti based Sakho's benching on the increased competition in the squad as the Italian preferred the central duo of Milan Biševac and Alex.[35][36][36] Sakho was also questioned by club director Leonardo for being "slightly overweight".[37]

Looks like Ancelotti stripped him of being captain after a few ropey games?
