He's not very tall. We need some big guys.

Should be looking at N'Zonzi

Should be looking at N'Zonzi

Is there any -ic that made it with us? Jovanovic, Markovic, Grujic... Maybe not the best of samples, but does he fall into this category?

I came into this thread believing it to be new & didn't realise I was reading posts months old. When I read the above post I thought to myself that it would be amusing to find an old Liverpool player of very British origin who had "ic" in their name. As I was thinking that & continuing to read down the thread I found some cunt who'd already done that, back in August, and I decided it actually wasn't the slightest bit amusing:

PS - Apologies to JJ, as I realise this was probably your favourite player in your teenage days

Nzonzi is about 30, surely not unless he comes on the cheap

Dario G should go back to making records.

Arf. Yeah, I had a tapestry of the guy up on the wall in my corner of the scullery. 😛

He was born in Austria and learned to play football here.

That's not a ringing endorsement.

So is David Alaba.

So is David Alaba.

But he also was in Bayern's academy. Which helped a lot, probably.

Understatement of the year.

Salah was born and grew up in the footballing powerhouse of Egypt before moving to the equally giant Switzerland and he turned out OK.
