Joe Allen leaves Liverpool, and fans are divided over it

Joe Allen has joined Stoke City from Liverpool for £13m.

The Welsh midfielder has signed a five-year deal with Mark Hughes' side, and leaves Anfield after four seasons at the club. Allen, who was named in the team of Euro 2016, wasn't a regular under Jurgen Klopp last season and looked set to slip further down the pecking order after Liverpool signed Marko Grujic, Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum. https://twitter.com/stokecity/status/757652165519216640 The new of Allen's departure was met with a mixed reaction by Liverpool fans on Twitter. The 26-year-old is either criminally under-rated and under-appreciated, or overrated by fans. It's also possible the deal makes perfect sense for all parties, and that Allen's a good footballer, who has moved to get first-team action, while Liverpool get a tidy sum for a player in the last year of his contract. https://twitter.com/gillesoffthenet/status/757659116152188928 https://twitter.com/GucciGrujic/status/757661315884285952 https://twitter.com/RedRocketNelson/status/757662413529415681 https://twitter.com/dave_boon/status/757662363386519553

@JamesPearceEcho another average player gone — michael pearson (@MichaelPearson0) July 25, 2016

@JamesPearceEcho Some LFC fans never gave him a chance. We will miss him though, and Stoke have a bargain for £13mill Get rid of Henderson

@JamesPearceEcho Massive mistake! — Steve Jones (@_stevej_) July 25, 2016

@JamesPearceEcho was a decent player last 6 months, but did very little before that, and missed that sitter in the Derby. Wish him well tho.
