Cronky Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 If a player wants to go or isn't sure about staying then that's often enough to take the edge of his game. Enrique hasn't been playing badly, but he hasn't looked quite the same player for the last couple of months. That's all. We've got a wage policy and it looks like Enrique has been offered more by Liverpool. There's no point in having a policy if you're going to break it whenever a player tries to test it out.

stalker Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 If a player wants to go or isn't sure about staying then that's often enough to take the edge of his game.

We've got a wage policy and it looks like Enrique has been offered more by Liverpool. There's no point in having a policy if you're going to break it whenever a player tries to test it out. I'm not sure Enrique's desire to move (assuming he has one) will have much to do with wages, he seemed happy to negotiate a new deal before the Carroll sale when the same wage restrictions were in place, think its the fact that he no longer sees the club's ambitions as matching his own and he feels he'll have to move to achieve them. We'll miss him badly as he's a top class player, but I will wish him well and don't think we should paint him as a mercenary purely concerned with his wage packet.

Minhosa Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 He can do much better than Liverpool. If they added Enrique, a centre back and a winger in the summer they'd be top 2 imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 He won't go to Liverpool. Can't see them spending much money. January was a brilliant move for the owners as it showed intent without them actually spending any money - Torres (£50m) = Carroll (£35m) + Suarez (£15m) Aren't they still broke?

The problem with Liverpool is they gutted their midfield which included their best and most important player, Alonso. Until they replace Masch and Xabi they're not going to get back in the top 4.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 i'm with minhosa here, Meirelles and Gerrard as a central 2 could be exelent if the had a decent set of wingers to play with. Half the Liverpool squad has changed since Alonso f***ed off so replacing him is hardly on the agenda anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Well im half with minhosa anyway, still dont think they'd make the top 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Alonso was their best player. He made them tick, he made Gerrard play better and he took all the strain off players like Carragher. The fact they didn't replace him has put them back 10 years, it'll take massive investment for them to get back in the top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Well im half with minhosa anyway, still dont think they'd make the top 2 I just think Man Utd will need significant investment over the summer and Chelsea will perhaps need to think of replacing key men soon (having already spaffed £50m on Torres) meaning there may be gap for a new force next year if anyone can get it together over most of the season. If liverpool line up something like this, then they'd be there or thereabouts is what I'm saying:- Reina Kelly/Johnson New CB Carragher Enrique New Winger Meireles Gerrard Joey Cole Suarez Carroll Granted their defence doesn't look the best but if they did sign a strong centre half, they could be very effective.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I agree with alonso like, absolutely laughable Rafa was trying to replace him with Barry, there only 6 points off the top 4 now though after an absolutely appauling start and middle to the season. City do have 2 games in hand though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Joe Cole, Gerrard in a flat 4-4-2, Carragher and Glen Johnson are just a few reasons why that team is not top 4 quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

City do have 2 games in hand though. The season they finished second they only lost 2 games all season. That team had perfect balance, but since then they've thrown away their 2 top class midfielders, their World class striker, their best wide player, and Gerrard and Carragher are 2 years older. It's quite astonishing how they've managed to regress from what was a really good team back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends like, I'd be willing to make a wager at the end of the next transfer window depending on who they've signed. To sign the players you said it would take about £40 - £50 million. It's worth noting that in the last season they've made a profit on player expenditure (dem be like Ashley), this summer will test how keen the new owners are to actually invest.

LRD Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 They don't have much in depth compared to the likes of Man City and Spurs too. Beyond the 1st team they are dire. They will need much significant strengthening to get anywhere near top 2 especially with the competition they have now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 For the record im being theoretical here, theres absolutely no way Liverpool wil splash out the cash to sign Enrique, a top class CB and a winger. And even then there squad depth is appauling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
