Quote of the day

"[Reading chairman] John Madejski used to say to me about certain players, just wipe your nose and move on. And I think [Liverpool] are going to have to do that with Andy ... Whether it's £15m, £16m or £20m, if [Rodgers] uses that money and gets an uplift in the player that he brings in that's OK. And that's how you've got to look at it."

Oh, I'm liking this - the Silver Fox trying out some serious Taggart-esque mindgames on the powers that be at Liverpool, suggesting they'd better just cut their losses on Rocky and flog him off for substantially less than the fortune they forked out for him. OK, so it might rile them a bit, but it's nice to see us being a bit canny and calculating, rather than being on the receiving end, for a change.
