You reckon ballotelli fits in the mould of a total Rodgers player? i,e, good attitude, hard worker, fast, bust a gut for the team, able for fast interchange in the front 3 positions


I'm not sure about any other player but I'm convinced he was wasn't a signing that Rodgers said "Yes, get me him. He's a player I really want"

Seemed like more of a good purchase from a financial point of view, relatively low risk. If he's muck, we could get most of the cash back.

Just on wages issue, this is the wages spend in 2012/13

City - £233m
United - £183m
Chelsea - £179m
Arsenal - £154m
Liverpool £133m


Those differences are crazy. The difference between us an chelsea is roughly 6 extra Di Marias. People go on about us spending £100m+ in transfer this summer while City spend that amount extra on wages every year compared to us. Asking us to compete with these 5 other teams is a huge ask.

Utds will be massive for this season but tbh, they can afford it so it's like comparing ours with Hulls

Rodgers on Liverpool transfer committee and how he will always have final say on signings.

Fair play to Mr.Alan, he has done a solid 24 hr shift since yesterdays defeat, I wouldn't dare accuse him of only posting when Liverpool lose, just glad to see his thirst for posting has returned.

We're all pissed off with how we're playing and with some of BR's selections/tactics/signings, some of us are just a bit more vocal about it seemingly.

I CAN SEE A NET SPEND DEBATE COMIN'.

OH GOODY GOODY GUMDROPS;-)

I feared at the time that Rodgers believed his own hype & thought he could turn Balotelli around. Cementing his reputation as getting the most out of young players with plenty of ability but other issues. Nothing that has happened subsequently has changed my view.

RAFA IN RODGERS OWT

Gbear

From Slic Rick in the previous thread:

something I didn't realise...

In 20 of the 22 games Rodgers' Liverpool has achieved a clean sheet in the League (Liverpool have played 58 games under Rodgers), Agger played in 20 of them.

wow.

Without actually seeing a breakdown of the games you really can't take much from that.

For example, it could be that Rodgers overwhelmingly picked Agger in home games against bottom 10 sides. Or that the bulk of these came in matches when we were in good form which wouldn't necessarily have been down to how Agger played.

Regardless, Agger was made of porcelain. Whether he's been adequately replaced is another issue but I think it needed to be done.

Give it up lads.

The man is as entitled as anyone to post.

Its all about opinions.

It would be pretty boring in here if we all agreed with each other and questioned nothing.

We saw a breakdown of games during the summer. It included plenty of top sides. Perhaps even a disproportionality large amount.

It's attention seeking from him.

When Alan rightly ignores him he moves on to someone else.

New thread, new optimism.
We'll draw 0-0 with Madrid and then beat Chelsea 2-0 at Anfield.

Sturbridge will soon be back and Sakho will make an unlikely but positive return to the team.

Not really much point arguing about Agger any more when he said himself he just wasn't able for it any more.

I can't see it happening until we get Adidas back making our jerseys, then they will fund it.

Which was in itself at odds with what he said all last year.

So when the club allowed him leave back to his home town club, he basically spun a line that would suit the club. Not surprising.

YouTookMyName

Was only starting to get a feel for the old thread and all.

Charlie19

The last 49 players signed by the club.

At this moment in time you'd be hard pushed to pick a dozen genuine successful signings from that list. Potentially there is still time for a half dozen or so of Rodgers signings.

Emre Can Maybe
Rickie Lambert
Adam Lallana Maybe
Lazar Marković Maybe
Dejan Lovren Maybe
Divock Origi Maybe
Alberto Moreno Maybe
Mario Balotelli

Season 13/14
Luis Alberto Maybe
Iago Aspas
Kolo Toure
Simon Mignolet
Tiago Ilori Maybe
Mamadou Sakho Maybe

Season 12/13
Fabio Borini
Joe Allen Maybe
Oussama Assaidi
Samed Yesil
Daniel Sturridge Hit
Philippe Coutinho Hit
Jordan Ibe maybe

Season 11/12
Jordan Henderson Hit
Charlie Adam
Doni
Stewart Downing
Sanchez Jose Enrique
Sebastian Coates
Craig Bellamy Hit
Villyan Bijev
Danny Ward

Season 10/11
Jonjo Shelvey
Milan Jovanović
Danny Wilson
Joe Cole
Fabio Aureilo Hit
Christian Poulson
Brad Jones
Raul Meireles Hit
Paul Konchesky
Suso Signed
Yusuf Mersin
Luis Suarez Hit

Sotirios Kyrgiakos
Maxi Rodriguez Hit

Your having a laugh now!!

Mr Alan

The likes of Sakho & Allen being flagged as "maybes" is cringey. They've had plenty of time & don't appear to be good enough.

Turtyturd

I know he gets a hard time time on here but I would have Enrique as a hit, especially ahead of the likes of 'Bellers'.

Allen is a fine squad player. Not a 15m player but decent.

Plus he has the type of madness in him that I like. For example wrestling his brother in his jocks on his bed and posting the photos online. Great stuff altogether.

You missed 3 Hits after his name for LB/RB/CF......he even gave GK a go.

klose

Hard to know what signings were rodgers and what were the "transfer committees" signings, half our signings seem to be for the future, the signings for now are a mixed bag at best.

Well spotted, now I'll move onto you, the non attention seeker who doesn't absolutely batter every tiny little in joke over and over and over again in a very sad attempt at gaining thanks. In fairness to Alan and Lloyd they provide some content in their posts even if their style isn't to my taste, you sir contribute diddly, apart from petty digs at Utd and Arsenal, cheap pops at BR and Stevie G, and pathetic attempts at humour.

Bring Louie Home, The Rodgers, Moses Gags, Aspas Corners gags, Sakho/Cissokho gags etc etc etc TIRED AND TESTED material. Though you'll have a couple of buddies that have your back and thank it, obv as long as you thank their posts.

Sakho has started 19 league games for us. I think he'll be a hit tbh.

As for Skrtel The guy is an embarressment

Why is it so black and white? Allen is a good player who generally contributes to the team. I don't see him ever being one of our best players but I'm happy to have him in the squad.

As for Sahko, he's done enough to show he's as good as our other CBs (not saying much) and if fit he should be starting for me.

I hope you're right but the embarrassment remains on par with ~€40 million worth of new CB's

Smell of virginity of this post.





(Hoping Turtyturd thanks this)

Mr Alan

I have no issues with Allen as a squad player, but that's clearly not what he was bought for. Do people want me to go dig up all the quotes from Rodgers about how huge a player he was going to be for us?

Allen is a grand player. But when judging his transfer it has to be a "miss"

So he's as good as our other CBs who we all agree are not good enough. Therefore he is not good enough.

His transfer is another "miss"

lol. what do you expect him to say to the press "He's okay, not great, but he'll do as a squad player I suppose."

That's pretty much what Rogers said when he brought Lambert in.
