Sure, I don't agree with him always but I do understand him and his views. One of the better experts out there.
He’ll probably retire, now. Or learn Italian.Who's he going to complain about, now Pogba has gone?
Devi chiederti, cosa sta facendo Pogba?He’ll probably retire, now. Or learn Italian.
I'm surprised he didn't say that Pogba should go to Ukraine
I don't understand the hate fest with this guy, seems to be popular enough with those who've worked with and him and a genuinely world class player in his peak, you would think he was some mug playing for a non league team the way some go on ranting about him.
I agree with you, think it’s because he’s a scouser I like him and Keane on the same panel when on Sky.I don't understand the hate fest with this guy, seems to be popular enough with those who've worked with and him and a genuinely world class player in his peak, you would think he was some mug playing for a non league team the way some go on ranting about him.
Well pogba isn't safe yet, he did play in sampodria and manage torino once, quite a possibility.He’ll probably retire, now. Or learn Italian.
Added reason to like him? Seeing how he oversaw their descent into mediocrityObviously we've not all conducted the research into how well loved he is by everyone he works with that you have, but I'd imagine it's because he's a rabid dyed in the wool scouse loving bitter?
The irony is that a lot of Pool fans hate him too!
Yeah, they don't really have the best takes in any shape or form (Keane is better in that regard) but I enjoy them, they're like relics from a bygone era.I agree with you, think it’s because he’s a scouser I like him and Keane on the same panel when on Sky.
I think his playing career is fairly irrelevant when it comes to things he says as a pundit. Do you give more value to the opinions of folk like Matt Le Tissier and Paul Merson because they were good players?I don't understand the hate fest with this guy, seems to be popular enough with those who've worked with and him and a genuinely world class player in his peak, you would think he was some mug playing for a non league team the way some go on ranting about him.
When it comes to their opinions on their area of expertise i can be interested in their takes, not necessarily agree with it but still find it interesting.I think his playing career is fairly irrelevant when it comes to things he says as a pundit.

He played and managed in Italy; probably already speaks the language.He’ll probably retire, now. Or learn Italian.
I think most people who aren't swayed by blatant agendas will be against this. Why don't we just promote them to the knock out stages too while we're at it?I would be surprised if many people were against this. Football is also a powerfully vehicle of hope and optimism, and Ukraine needs this massively.
He speaks Italian pretty well already.He’ll probably retire, now. Or learn Italian.
His Liverpool team-mate Michael Robinson said of Souness in 2016: "I found him a very personal, cuddly chap who was actually quite vulnerable about being a human being with emotions. To this day, he still tries very hard not to be this lovely cuddly person, when really he is."
Don't we all?Lovely sentiment but boy he's on his way to becoming a softy in his old age.
He was Better than rice for startersI wonder how much a 25yo Souness would be worth in todays market?
There would not be much change out of 80mil!
Robbo was his only superior around at that time.I found this beauty in his Wikipedia page
Don't we all?

Wish we could get someone half as good as either of them.Robbo was his only superior around at that time.
He's clearly not a bad person. I remember the impassioned speech he made to Richards on Sky during the whole BLM thing. He clearly has a heart.
I find this kind of tribalism a bit nasty when it gets personal.
The worst part when he was accused on here of being a racist, all because he deigned to criticise a certain Paul Pogba. Which is now a Redcafe sport.
As a player (I only remember him when he was player/manager at Rangers. But I've seen a tons of matches involving him, with Liverpool and Scotland) he was obviously world class. If Rice is worth £120m then Souness would easily be worth £200m+.
Now, his views on Ukraine is what tickles me. He's passionate about Ukraine being independent (and existing) but he's fine with England running his own nation. Just seems weird.

Huh? Scotland has been united with England for several centuries and Russia are invading Ukraine right now.
It would be weird if he felt there should be any correlations between these two separate matters
You are seriously comparing the modern England-Scotland relationship with what’s happening in Ukraine? Edward I‘s treatment of Scotland would be a better comparison.
Should be given a round of applause at Old TraffordWe were wrong about him.
“There is tremendous enthusiasm for football, as there is on Merseyside, but it expresses itself differently. When I first arrived to sign for Sampdoria there were crowds cheering me in the streets.
“People stop me in the street and wish me good luck. Nothing is too much trouble and we have encountered nothing but the most wonderfully friendliness.
“In Liverpool our fans were wonderful, but in the city as a whole there always seemed to be an underlying bitterness. I experienced it in other cities, too, but it seemed worse in Liverpool than anywhere else.”
“Perhaps it was because some people are jealous of the money successful footballers can earn, when so many of them are out of work.
“During the last year or so I hated getting out of my car in Liverpool for fear of someone shouting abuse at me.
“I hardly ever went to watch Everton play, but that last time I did, a youth stood next to me and spent the entire match mouthing obscenities. It was bad enough for me when I was by myself, but imagine how you feel if you have your wife and kids with you.
“The Liverpool club were fantastic to me and we had some wonderful times. They are a great club and will go on being great. But just ask yourself, where would you want to live and bring up your children if you were given the choice – Merseyside, or here?”
