SkinssRvA Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Marseille finished 13th with a 10W-18D-10L in a belowaverage one team championship. Batshuayi has good potential but he's selfish and not strong mentally. Drogba was better when he left, we will see if he can move on to the next level. I don't much care about how his team performed tbh. Finished fourth in scoring, and was involved in more goals scored than two of the three ahead of him (lacazette and Cavani). 9 assists seems to be a high total for a selfish player... But, again, I have not seen him play. I will defer to those who regularly watch Ligue 1, and they seem to share your concerns for him as a player.

jpage520 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Any of y'all ever seen the "Away Days" channel on YouTube? It's pretty cool. It's a younger English dude, probably about early to mid 20s, going to different stadiums and seeing matches and showing the experience. It's almost all over in Europe. A lot of lower tier matches, but towards the end of this past season he got to some BPL grounds. He did make it over to Orlando for an MLS match which was cool seeing his reactions to some of the pretty common stuff in sports culture over here. Looks like he's a Norwich supporter primarily since he does a lot of travel with Norwich fans. But he does a decent job documenting the experience somewhat unbiased. Only gripe I have is that it looks like he may have had some trouble regarding showing any actual on field action because most of the POV is facing away from the field. But I know even MLS is cracking down on that so I'd imagine BPL probably got on him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 He was good with Marseille, but Chelski overpaid for him IMO Tidy business for Standard Liege who had a 35% sell on clause, as they are now set to pick up 14m as part of this deal. Probably explains the fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be GREAT business. Almost everything back from Villa. That would be beyond awesome! Take Benteke and Skrtel (and just WTF has gone on there with his disgraceful attack on Klopp he's denying? **** off to Turkey ****house!), and offset that against Grujic, Matip, Karius and Mane (Let's go full whack and call it £38 million for ****'s and giggles), and that leaves us with a net spend of around £12.5 million. Throw in wee Joe and we're breaking even. Go get that ****ing LB Jurgie lad! And anyone else you covet. Hail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he had some ambitious targets this summer and apparently Benteke was his number 2. His number 1 just signed for Chelsea (Michy Batshuayi), or completed his medical anyways.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 £4 million from Watford for Jerome Sinclair. Nice. Another kid who got a bit of money and a taste too soon and let it go to his head. As well as being badly advised by the Worlds worst agent. Doubt we hear very much of him again. At least not at the highest level. Never showed anything that will separate him from PL defences. Hail.

I'll tell you, there's a kid (Toni Gomes) who Klopp got a look at and basically said, "Sinclair who?"

RichmondRedskin88 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) So last night my captain put me during the second half late down 5-3. I scored 1 1/2 in and almost equalized on a tough header and volley. Didn't celebrate the goal but rather ran and grabbed the ball. The other team was holding their breath with 15 mins to go. My team was like he's in a zone and taking over. I never said a word but my play was just energizing eveyone(I'm a very quiet leader on the field generally.) Then the captain did the unthinkable with us bombarding them. He took me off after 5 mins. The team deflated on the field and sidelines. The other team scored won by 2. What the heck?

And there's SO much growth to go between now and 18/19/20 you never know. Foreign kids at such a young age in our youth academy's is just wrong. Nobody's telling me there's not similar talent kicking around the streets of Liverpool if we'd just get out and look for it. IF we ever leave the EU, at least this will stop and nobody under 18 will be allowed to sign for any club. Hail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
