Teasy Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 You what? My point is, if they are the first-choice pair at Portmsouth, erm, they're at the crux of the side who've just finished rock bottom in the Premier League. By a long way, too. Are you seriously advocating taking them out and putting them into ours? Aye, i know it's a team effort n all that, but centre-midfield is the very heart of the side. To be fair they were docked 9 points which means they've had nothing to play for since March. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Jonjo is going to Liverpool. Signs for them today for about £1.7 million + add ons. Thats such a bad choice of club to go to for a young British footballer. Liverpool's record over the last 10 years of developing youth players, especially British ones, is terrible. I'd go as far as to say its worse than ours. In fact, I can't think of ANY who have stepped up to Premiership level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I think it is bad in that where the fuck is going to play atm or are they grooming as the next Stevie Gee. I have noticed Liverpool have increased there English players of late with signings like Shev, Sterling & Johnson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed Liverpool have increased there English players of late with signings like Shev, Sterling & Johnson. He'll probably be on the bench due to next season's 'Home Grown' rule, hardly get a game, be loaned out to some random clubs. Have a few good games, come back to Liverpool and have Andy Grey say 'Well he hasn't lived up to his promise, has he?' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Out of those clubs, choosing Liverpool is strange. And that price is a bargain. Can't help but feel theres another promising career wasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Keane never seems to be short of interested clubs, but he always seems to fall short of expectations and get moved on. I wouldn't say he's in decline as a player, but I think his kind of striker is not as useful in the modern game as it used to be. It's the Owen problem - a specialist finisher who plays in advanced positions but who isn't a target man. As well as scoring, top level strikers now need to be either good at holding the ball up, or good at dropping deep and creating. That's my take on it.

He is a player who like to drop deep and get onto the ball, which is the sort of player we need. The age/price is and issue though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 And here's me thinking Rafa always has no money to spend. Thats two players they've signed already and the window isn't even open. Who is the other? Reo-Coker fits the bill really. Jason Roberts on the otherhand would be amongst the most pointless signings i've seen us make, regardless of the price. Out of interest, why would Roberts be a pointless signing? Because he's old, an average footballer, and doesn't score many goals. We need a striker that will make a significant impact. When you consider he starts most matches on the bench I wouldn't have expected him to score that many goals ... He may be 32 but he's still fast and strong and this is something that we don't have in any of our strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
