Yeah, it was a slightly tongue in check comment in relation to the BSE scare over here where for a long time we weren't allowed to buy T Bones due to governmental scaremongering / concern over our welfare

Can do the Suarez nutmeg thingy, pacy as fuck in full flight, strong, skilful, can play anywhere across the front 3.
BUY HIM!
Hahahahaha. Post of the week.
He is German. Whats your point?
I can only think he turned Rodgers down.
With a name like that, Brendan probably thought he was onto a sure thing.
Turkish newspaper Fanatik claim Liverpool have offered €15 million for Fenerbahce striker Moussa Sow. The 26-year-old has scored 18 goals in 41 games for Fener since joining the club last January.
This sounds a bit more promising.
He looked like a less elegant version of Djimi Traore playing up front, the few bits I seen him play last season in the French League.
I doubt if there is much truth in it.
He's a Championship winger.
Agree. I think Rodgers is being a dick with this player
I don't think he's all that mate. He kinda slaloms down the wing like a fucking skier.
Meh for me.
I'd like to see Assaidi being given a run out on the right. I can only judge him from youtube clips (apart from his sporadic LFC appearances obv.) but most of his best work for them seemed to be when he was on the right - but we've only played him on the left!
He's played like 5 games. About fuck all evidence to say whether he's good or bad. Given the massive amount of the game-time we've been giving to an 18 year-old and the fact that the only other competition for the wing-position is Downing, it's most perplexing why he hasn't got more game time.
Rennes have declared their willingness to help talented but troubled midfielder Yann M'Vila leave the club this January.
The France international, 22, has seen his star wane in the last year with a number of disciplinary issues tarnishing his previously burgeoning reputation.
However, the defensive midfielder still has the sort of ability which attracts suitors, and Rennes are keen to help him move on as long as the money is right.
"It's possible [he'll leave] if we get some interesting offers," the club's general manager, Pierre Dreossi, told radio station RMC. "He wants to leave, but if it doesn't happen, it will be next summer. It's no catastrophe. He missed out on a transfer last summer. If there's an interesting opportunity for everyone, we'll find a solution."
Interest in M'Vila cooled before the last transfer window, following his role in a tempestuous Euro 2012 for the French national side before he was banned from appearing for his country at any level until July 2014 after being in a group of five players who took a taxi from the Normandy coast to a Paris nightclub while on duty with the Under-21s in October.
The Amiens-born player was even sanctioned by his club, along with team-mate Chris Mavinga, following the incident with the pair, being ordered to train with the reserve team for more than a week. Since returning to the first-team fold, M'Vila, who joined Rennes in 2004, has kept his head down.
"We're happy, he's coming back [to form]," Dreossi said. "He's done some silly things, but he's come through here. He listens, he doesn't show that he wants to leave, but if a chance comes along, he'll take it."
Offer 'em 8 million Euros ... Nothing to lose - either we get 30 in 3 years time, or the same fee in 1-2.
That's some A1 distillation right there. You cut right through my bullshit veneer and exposed the fuck out of me. 😉
Is the Mavinga mentioned in the story the one who was on our books for a while?
correct
He's been decent in the Europa League. I know we haven't been playing against world beaters, but around half the teams in Premiership are shit too.
I sense sarcasm ... 😱
I think he's a fair bit better than that. Given Downing has been given umpteen chances plus half our kids I think this lad deserves at least a chance to show what he can do.
This is bullshit right? This guy doesn't strike me as what we're looking for.
