    Average, overpriced and of a position we have more than enough cover for.

    He is far from average but he is over priced, same as the vast majority of Premiership players.

    I so hope all the overpriced mediocrity we are being linked with don’t come to pass.
    Allen is lightweight, weak, inconsistent and generally not very good within a relegated team.

    He had a couple of good performances for Wales and that’s about it (but then so did Ashley Williams, Robson-Kanu and Sam Vokes)

    Please no.

    There will always be speculation about him as apparently he had a clause that cut his pay by 50% after relegation so other teams could afford him but he has never been worth the £13m paid for him.

    Based on what though? A jovial throwaway comment in a daft video?

    He's a good player, Rodgers thinks he's a good player. Think that's the extent of it.

    He compared him to Xavi several times, I think Allen is a good player, but come on Xavi...:56:

    Mad to think that this time 2 years ago we were all for signing him and that he would be an improvement on the team.

    2 years later, Brown is even better, Ntcham is here, Rogic is a wizard, McGregor is an unsung hero, Armstrong had a great first season under Rodgers, so now Allen isn't good enough :56:

    Brendan Rodgers does not think Joe Allen is as good as Xavi, come on now.
