How is that excellent? Do you mean excellent as "we can't do any better"?
If you add Sanchez to that list or Muriel, is it still excellent?
You know why think it's meh? Because none of them will significantly improve our starting XI. Hence marquee signing.
Have you watched Muriel this year at all? Just wondering.
I would have liked Konoplyanka too, but I can understand why Rodgers prefers a versatile AM over a winger (unless it's a wing-forward in the mould of Sanchez, who'd frankly just play like a striker in our system).Yep a few games here and there, trouble with injuries this season...AGAIN!
Maybe we should stay away...
I really wanted Konoplyanka to join.

#Immobile has just confirmed his future: "I'll be new Borussia Dortmund player. I'll sign my contract soon". € 19,5M to Torino and Juve #BVB
Yet another smart buy by BVB
Yup - he's the future of Italy's front line with the Insigne.
I read a while ago that Rafa has been giving Insigne the Babel/Cisse treatment - playing him out wide rather than through the middle.
I just also saw that he scored just 3 goals last season. Any chance of Rafa selling him to us on the cheap?
Could be a Coutinho/Sturrige type deal - and Insigne has the talent to be like Alexis Sanchez.
Yup - Would be nice though.Not that I wouldn't take him, you'd be mad not to, but we won't get him.
what's happening on the Kono front? I am a fan and the sums being bandied around seem reasonable in the current market.
Meaning what exactly?
Sunderland linked with a 10 mill bid for Borini. I'd accept that.
If we sell Borini for 10m we will have to pay DOUBLE that to get a quality replacement back up.
I dont get why we would let him go. He scores and works hard.
I dont want to replace half our squad.
2 or 3 great signings and we have a real chance.
£4million did.Well, technically he wasn't part of our squad last season anyways.
And I reckon 10-15M buys us someone better than Borini.
