![]() Is Comiolli the dumbest DS in football or what, dude has overpaid for almost every player they bought. And what is with Dalglish's English fetish? Carroll - 35 million pounds Henderson - 20 million pounds Adam - 9 million pounds Downing - 20 million pounds The only one worth the money is Suarez, who ironically is the ONLY one who isnt English... ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Adam is scottish, and was 6.5 million pounds which is a good deal, agree with the rest though - 75 million for Carroll Downing and Henderson is laughable

As for Comolli, he is actually a pretty good DS, just that he overpays quite a bit - the players he gets usually do end up performing well - Kolo Toure at Arsenal, Bale, Modric, Berba and a host of players at Spurs. Even hyped some Saint Etienne talent and made them a good buck. This is by far the biggest project and more money, he just needs to learn to control and negotiate better - time will tell if all the expensive domestic imports pay dividends. |

![]() For talent scouting, every top club has good scouts. I'm sure all these guys Comolli has signed were known to the scouts of other clubs too. Comolli seems to be lucky that he is with owners who don't mind overpaying. |

Even our very own Galliani couldn't bring down the price of Criscito in January. Also now hes using youngsters to take of the silly 15m price tag for Ogbonna who plays in the Serie B. El Shaarawy was pretty expensive if you consider the value of that deal, i think its the case in most leagues. Leo is probably going to be just like Comolli is he starts targeting domestic talent ![]() I dont blame these guys, they do a great job, best possible way that they can. |

The press are obsessed with Sneijder to Man Utd. Inter have denied it, Sneijder has denied it and Fergie has denied it yet they still going on about it.

Comolli does part a) quite well. Now, I'm not judging whether Liverpool is overpaying or not - but you said they are. Which was why I said he's not a great Director then, since he's not so successful at part b, which is a crucial part of his job. If you feel Henderson, Downing etc can't be bought for less than that in the current English market, then Liverpool are not overpaying actually. That IS the market rate and Comolli is doing a decent job. So it's just a matter of semantics. As for Criscito, Ogbonna, El Shaarawy etc, forget all that. I don't believe most of these market rumours. Believe me, 90% of these things you hear are speculation and not verified. I would be very surprised if we were ever interested in Criscito - not at all an Allegri type player ![]() |

What is your take on the Sneijder to Man United deal???? All English reports are saying its a done deal......yet Branca, Gasperini, and Sneijder himself have all said that he is staying at Inter. |
