Liverpool fans won’t stop pestering owner John W Henry to sign Marco Reus

They want Reus, Johnny

Henry can’t even enjoy America’s favourite pastime without being abused for the large Reus-shaped void in the Liverpool team.

The Liverpool owner now knows exactly what responses he’ll get whenever he sends out a tweet. He’ll know that whatever topic he initially commented on will be ignored and the subject will change to one pressing issue for Liverpool fans, where the hell is Marco Reus?

Yankee Stadium played host to a historic baseball game today, as the Red Sox and the Yankees slugged it out over a whopping 19 innings. After a grueling six hours and 49 minutes, the Bostonians ran out 6-5 winners and claimed a memorable victory over their rivals.

Henry sounded his appreciation for the captivating game on Twitter and, rather predictably, the Reus calls came in thick and fast.

There was the guy who clearly watches Henry’s movements on Twitter in order to be first to reply.

Until he signs Reus, this sort of treatment on social media will just be another part of his daily life as Liverpool owner. Luckily for Henry, he handles it well.
