Rate your managers signings
This is my 33,333rd post so here is a thread to celebrate.
We're always talking about who makes good signings and who wastes money, here we list the big signings our managers have made and rate them out of five:
1 - Complete waste of money, you'd drive him to the airport yourself if an offer came in
2 - Not good enough for the first team or a decent first team player who cost too much
3 - Decent buy, good value for money or a young player who looks like he'll be a good fit
4 - Very good signing who is a key player or a decent team player who cost peanuts
5 - Amazing signing, the team would be much worse without him
BR's signings for Liverpool:
Fabio Borini from Roma (£10,400,000) **
He's pretty rubbish, he should move on this summer
Joe Allen from Swansea City (£15,000,000) **
Waste of money. He's a decent player but he's not creative enough
Daniel Sturridge from Chelsea (£12,000,000) ****
He's been great when fit, hopefully he'll be back at his best next year
Philippe Coutinho from Inter Milan (£8,500,000) ****
He's brilliant
Luis Alberto from Sevilla (£6,800,000) **
Haven't seen much of him, it seems like a lot of money
Iago Aspas from Celta Vigo (£7,000,000) *
Utter gash
Simon Mignolet from Sunderland (£9,000,000) ***
The jury's out on whether he can be a top keeper but £9m is pretty good value
Kolo Touré Free Transfer ***
Has had some good games, not bad for no money
Mamadou Sakho from Paris St Germain (£15,000,000) **
Seems like a lot of money, he's very good now and again
Tiago Ilori from Sporting Lisbon (£7,000,000) ***
Seems a good talent, should play next season
Rickie Lambert from Southampton (£4,500,000) **
Didn't have a good season
Adam Lallana from Southampton (£25,000,000) ***
I like him a lot, £25m could be too much though
Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen (£9,750,000) ****
He's going to be a very important player for us, absolute bargain
Lazar Markovic from Benfica (£19,800,000) ***
Useful player, he could turn out to be worth the money
Dejan Lovren from Southampton (£20,000,000) *
A complete liability
Alberto Moreno from Sevilla (£12,000,000) ***
Very good going forward, needs to defend better
Mario Balotelli from AC Milan (£16,000,000) **
He doesn't seem bothered but had a few decent games
Total spend £211,500,000
Average rating: 2.5 *
