      Done well getting £11M for him. Weren't Roma only offering half of that last summer?

      That's a fair price I think, he's a much maligned player and has certainly made some high profile gaffs in his time with us but he's also played plenty of good football and has been a frequent contributor in his 6 years at the club. In that time we've won the league, the European Cup and been to 3 additional finals and he has had a part in that.

      Good servant to the club, part of the great relationship between the players which is vital. On his day he was a top class cb but prone to brain farts. Thanks degsy and all the best for the future

      Best of luck to Dejan.

      Clear he was now the 4th choice CB here so it's a good move for him.

      Poor Mo will be heartbroken.

      It will be interesting to see who we sign as a replacement.

      Obviously a passionate guy, and am sure he would've like to have been more involved last 2 years or so, but we have quality options now at CB.
      Thought we might have got 15mill, but guess age has to be considered too.
      Wish him well.

      They were going to offer similar fee at the start than by the end of the window tried classic loan deal with option.

      I wonder now when Lovren leaves who will be clubs new whipping boy.

      have we been unfair on Lovren, putting unfair expectations of a defender not to have at least 2 brain farts leading to dangerous situations per game, naughty us!!!

      Not really, he declared himself as the best in the world for his postion.  :lmao:

      Should of gone two years ago as he's bench player at best.

      ;D straw man argument

      No but that isn't my point, just question of who will take the role as club whipping boy.

      FINALLY!

      Good luck to him.  But has been my least liked player since the migs and Moreno left.  These 3 players were the foundation of one of the worst defence we've ever had in my time as a supporter.

      Feels like he was the last of the "whipping boys". Someone needs to make the step up (or down, should I say) and take the mantle from Dejan ;D

      Always felt sorry for Glen Johnson. I remember he used to really get it really bad at one point and I never thought he was that bad. I think that would have been just before Dejan, Moreno & Mignolet started to get most of the attention in that regard. Think fans just need someone to point the finger at

      Glen Johnson was good going forwards but fairly sh*t at defending

      When you have to compete with the likes of Gerrard, Alsono and Masch make you a easier target when things go wrong. Sort of what happened with Hendo following in Gerrard's boots.
