Dinho lad Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 He'd be a quality signing for them. Charlie Adam to SMB then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 So why did you leave? I've always said - always - that I'm not the type to chase money. That wasn't a factor in my decision. I've always outlined that I have a career plan, and Liverpool is my next step in that. They're a step to the overall goal. What is the overall goal? If I told you that I'd have to kill you! No, really, it's no secret. I want to win things. I suppose every manager does. I believe I can do that with Liverpool, or at least give myself the platform to show that I'm capable of doing that. That's the thing, even just being at a club like Liverpool gives you the platform to show what you can do. You have greater exposure. It puts you in the shop window so to speak, rather than in the warehouse. What attracted you to Liverpool? It's the shop window, as I said. When I was with Watford I was the same manager I was with Swansea. Maybe a few less wrinkles! Being at Swansea - in the Premier League - was a platform. Being at Liverpool is an even bigger platform. They're a great, historical club. What do you think you're capable of achieving with Liverpool? I think I'm capable of giving the team a defined style of play, that they've lacked for a couple of years really. You look at teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham even Stoke, Swansea - you know how they play, and more importantly they know how they play. I don't know what's gone on before I came here, but it's football management at it's most basic. That will be the first thing I look to implement. What players are you looking forward to working with? All of them. I know that sounds like a cop out answer, but it's true. There's a danger when you start elevating one player's importance above the others. You've seen that in the England National team and you even saw that at Liverpool last year, which I won't get into. From Brendan's latest interview. [/steppingstone] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Anything concrete or is it just them taking a stab like everyone else who's assumed he'd back out? Judging from the article, it sounds as if SSN are the only ones sounding the move: Sigurdsson could follow Rodgers Liverpool's hijack mission for Iceland international given a boost Last Updated: June 5, 2012 9:32pm Gylfi Sigurdsson does not see himself signing a permanent deal at Swansea and he would be interested in joining Liverpool but he has not yet spoken to Brendan Rodgers regarding a possible move to Anfield. After arriving in January, the attack-minded Iceland midfielder took the Premier League by storm while on loan at Swansea from Hoffenheim and he seemed set to agree a long-term contract at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea have agreed a fee with Hoffenheim but Rodgers, who was the manager to bring Sigurdsson to England while in charge at Swansea, has since moved to Liverpool and is ready to hijack any deal. Sigurdsson, 22, has not put pen to paper on a contract amid the uncertainty in Wales following the departure of Rodgers at the beginning of June and the player is thinking about Liverpool. "It's just unclear at this moment where I will play," he told Icelandic newspaper Morgunblaoio. "I'd like to play on with Swansea since I was really happy there. "But after Brendan Rodgers left the club for Liverpool, it changed the situation." Glorious history Sigurdsson, who scored seven goals in 18 Premier League appearances, added: "I have said that my desire is to continue playing in the Premier League and Liverpool is completely considered. "Liverpool is a big club that has a glorious history. The English Premier League is the platform that I want to be on and hopefully I continue to play in that division. "I expect not to stay at Swansea as the uncertainty going on there and it is not clear who is the boss." Liverpool transfer talks have yet to take place between Sigurdsson and Rodgers but the former has wished his ex-Swansea boss good luck at Anfield. Asked if there had been contact, Sigurdsson said: "No. But I got in touch with him when he was appointed Liverpool manager. "I wished him congratulations and thanked him for a great time at Swansea."

ponsaelius Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Sigurdsson good player though he is doesn't seem much of a solution to their midfield. They need guile and patience in there not another direct player who will shoot more often than not. They also need wide players more than they need that kind of player.

Ishmael Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Uproar is good, but it would be soooooo much better if Rodgers genuinly saw Liverpool as a stepping stone. With that attitude he'd have the kop on his back from game number 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
