Guest elbee909 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I was really wound up They basically said that if the likes of Cabaye, Ben Arfa were given a choice to go to Liverpool, they would say yes immediately. And Marveaux too? Oh, wait... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Do footballers really see Liverpool as one of the leading lights in football nowadays? I've never known Liverpool to be anything more than a decent cup side in my lifetime, so I can't comprehend this whole idea. Yes they won the European Cup a few years ago, but that was due to a lot of luck more than genuinely being the best side in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Their foothold in things like Asian/US marketing etc makes them a lot of money. They're still a big name and have cash to burn so will always be able to sign players. They've dropped off last 2 or 3 seasons though IMO, lack of CL is the ultimate factor in terms of attracting the very top players. I don't think Torres when they signed him would go to the current Liverpool for example. Or for a now example somebody of a similar level like Cavani. Actually think their failed buy-british policy will have done them a lot of bad in terms of being able to attract players from the continent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Lucas better than Tiote Fuck Im the pro-brazilian and Im laughing hard at it. Lucas has had what, 6months of DECENT football in England. Been pure shit otherwise in the Premier League and is not much more than a tactical defensive midfielder who is extremely limited in all other areas.

Guest BooBoo Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Rodgers has shown himself to be a bit of an arse with the Carroll saga. To effectively dismiss a player through the media without speaking to him first is appalling management. I'll be surprised if he lasts the season, massively out of his depth.

Ketsbaia Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Rodgers should learn lessons from AVB's time at Chelsea and not immediately ruffle feathers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Personally I reckon Rodgers has been told he will have to sell to finance his team building. He wasnt going to sell Suarez cos the fans would have lynched him so the next saleable asset that he could get away with selling is Carroll. On top of that they now have Borini so Carroll would have been a very expensive bench warmer. Far better to get what they can now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been pure s*** otherwise in the Premier League and is not much more than a tactical defensive midfielder who is extremely limited in all other areas. I got sent a link to a statistical report which proved that Lucas is better than Tiote. Apparently, Lucas would outmuscle Tiote rather easily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I think it'll start ok but once the 'top 4' begin to pull away from them the pressure will increase. They can't really afford another couple of seasons without CL football having already missed out for the last few years. As that pressure increases then I think he'll struggle and can't see him shifting them forward as a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 With him trying to boot Carroll out and bring in Joe Allen it's clear he's going to try and Swansalona up Liverpool, but not sure I can see their midfield being up to it, or indeed half their team. Maybe get very solid...but they were already that. Rodgers should be more pragmatic, keep Carroll and focus on getting more dynamism in the team that they were so lacking under Dagliesh.

Ishmael Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Lucas had an exceptional run of form before his injury in which I would say he performed 'better than Tiote does generally'. Remains to be seen if Lucas returns to that level of performance next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
