Disco Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Can only assume Liverpool are going to use suarez and Kuyt wide of Carroll with all these central midfielders in the middle. Absolutely zero natural width aside from Johnson, Aurelio & Maxi like and two of those are defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Big piece with Steven Gerrard in the Express today. There's a couple of 'Gerrard on' bits, Suarez, himself and Henderson. For the latter he says "It's a really positive signing. Let's hope he is the next Steven Gerrard. Liverpool needs a new Steven Gerrard and it will need a new Jamie Carragher. That's what good football clubs do - they replace their best players.". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely zero natural width aside from Johnson, Aurelio & Maxi like and two of those are defenders. Dalglish did the same at Newcastle IIRC. Our starting 11 in his first full year had Speed, Batty, Hamman and Lee across the middle. All good players in their own right but no natural width or flair. It was a team built to stifle the opposition first and then worry about the football second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson is a strange one, but carroll and certainly adams have there merits. Really like the look of adams, put him in the deep lying playmaker role and he'll add an extra dimension to that team with gerrard and meiriles in front of him. Liverpool are just begging for some width. I cant remember the last decent winger they had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely over-priced. No argument there. (Apart from Suarez: he looks to be worth it.) My point about Carroll stands, though. £35m is a ridiculous price, but it's not the case that we pissed away the Torres money: we were only interested in replacing him, and when Ashley asked for £35m, we just passed it on to Chelsea. The criticism of Chelsea (and latterly Man City) is not that they spend so much on players (Man Utd regularly splurge silly money, too, but get no stick on RAWK for it, and are generally recognised as the bigger club), but that they're spending some sugar daddy's money that they didn't earn. It's typically dressed up as "bad for football" (which I agree with), or "detrimental to the club" in the sense that if Abramovich or the Sheik bores of pissing away money on footballers, the clubs are fucked (which is also true). But ultimately, I think it's mostly down to the fact that LFC would be ahead of Chelsea and Man City if it weren't for their "artificial" wealth. Personally, I don't like it (for the obvious reason that it makes things harder for us), but frankly, Abramovich and the Sheik can do what they like with their money. And the fact of the matter is, inflated transfer prices are largely due to clubs like Chelsea and Man City that don't have to worry about balancing the books pushing up the prices in order to get their man ahead of more prestigious, but poorer, clubs. What are we supposed to do? Stick with our dodgy squad because prices are too high, and waste another season in the hope that they fall by next summer? Or do we do our best to seize the opportunity of no European distraction to push as hard as we can in the league next season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Would you have spent that money had the new blokes at Liverpool not wiped out your debts? Sure, you had a jammy Champions League win and the odd couple of cups, but you've done nowt for two decades now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 You could argue that this 'fresh' money is only improving other club's when they sell players to Chelsea. Like you've said, you've basically gained two 'free' players from Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still (arguably) didn't get value for money though. Irrespective of where the money came from, you received £50m and spent £35m of it on a striker who, whilst he did have a very good half season, hasn't proven a lot yet.
