Is Dayum a Liverpool supporter?

Getting relegated to win the Europa cup.

A thousand monkeys and thousand typewriters and all that

Not that I am in any way saying he has anything but the highest regard for Rodgers, but how often do players ever say anything other than glowing things about their current boss? I take most comments about players or management from players or management with a huge pinch of salt.

Fair point,,, but he went above and beyond in that interview.

I was hoping he was one of yours. He had some strange posts in the utd thread today. Was being awfully cryptic. Is he kirbys son?


That's the good thing about reddit. You don't get any of this cryptic hidden agenda fan stuff. You can add your crest to your username in the soccer sub reddit.

I think he's an equal opportunitys hater. He seems to hate every group of fans

Nah, he's alright .
He's just well.. Dayum.. Everyone just accepts that's how he is, even when he asks the hard questions , the really tough ones other fans don't want to face.

Mind boggling stuff - Rodgers was only a youth coach at the time.

Could it be that Rodgers finally grew a pair and told him he was playing crap and he would have to accept sub or reserves until it improved ? .

If he's grown that particular set of balls we may struggle to field a team at times.


Though not having to bother buying or picking defenders at all might be something he'd like.

But he must understand that he cannot.

Everyone has said he is a very humble person and an intelligent player, if that's the case, how can he not see that his appearances and his position must change?

If its a money thing, and it could well be, then that's a different argument.

Effectively he is moving to a league which is not as frenetic as PL. Like Keane he WILL be getting more game time than could be expected at a top club in PL.

Telegraph-Sterling to sign until 2020

BAM gone to Madrid in the summer

We probably should sell him if we are going to continue pissing about like we have since Suarez left. Be good for him.

Especially if Dayum is right. No point having the lad play in the lower leagues

I think we might see very little of SG for the remainder of the PL games now that his future is public.

We'll still see plenty of him. He'll start at least 3 from every 4 games when fit.

I honestly don't think he'll be starting 3 from 4 PL games, if he'll be used to that extent I imagine he'd be happy to stay around for next season.

I can't see the team being sent out for 12/13 of the remaining PL games with Gerrard in the starting eleven.

There's potentially plenty of games left to play apart from the PL though of course.

I'd let him go for Suarez money and invest it in the Brazilian league, there's a lad there called Ronaldomcdonaldo (pronounced Wonaldo) who I've been a fan of since 2006.

He's about 35 so would be happy to play in the Championship and CL simultaneously.

A season late.

Rodgers admits the Reds must now look to make marquee signings in the summer if they are to avoid dropping away from the Premier League’s elite.

Neto, Fiorentina keeper and rumoured target, confirms he's leaving the club. Out of contract in the summer but supposedly available now.

Know nothing about him.

He'll slot straight in. We'll play both himself and Mignolet together, Neto can guard the goal and Mig can take the kickouts

Don't think Shaqiri is the answer to any of our biggest problems or a major improvement on what we have.

Presumably the £120 million refers to..........

Adam Lallana £25,000,000
Emre Can £10,000,000
Lazar Markovic £20,000,000
Dejan Lovren £20,000,000
Divock Origi £10,000,000
Alberto Moreno Perez £12,000,000
Mario Balotelli £16,000,000

Lallana, Moreno, Can & Markovic aren't at all bad to be fair. Origi I won't comment on. There's not much of what went on that 5 that I'd condsider burnt. Paid a little over the odds for Lallana & more than a little over for Markovic admittedly.

Lovren and Balotelli are signing tragedies unfortunately but if sold in the summer you'd imagine at least £15 million of that £36 million would be raised.

I'd wager it is the owners who aren't keen on the large cost large wages marquee type signings and not Rodgers, fair enough as the money isn't coming from his pocket.

Ganymede Glow

The team lacks balance so I reckon we shore up the defence with a new keeper, new centre half and a defensive midfielder. Obviously we need strikers and most of that will probably have to wait until the summer.

I'll be telling Brendan this the next time I see him.

Also take into account money received through transfers, the owners have spent feck all.

Some of the content of that article reads like somebody is stirring sh!t with the owners, which is not exactly what we need right now. There were a few insights in the media last month which suggested there was something going on behind the scenes and the headline of the article would suggest the game is still being played.

There does seem to be something rotten at the core of everything going on behind the scenes.

Thats all I'm going to say about it otherwise I'll be deemed of having an "agenda" or something like that,.

FYI - the interview with Gerrard is well worth watching - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30667384

When I see Gerrard so emotional in that interview about the club and Rodgers, it seems blatantly clear to me that he does not want to leave. I reckon he wanted to stay, Rodgers wanted him to stay, but the big shots behind the scenes wanted him out. I could imagine him asking for £100k a week for another year, but the authorities higher up simply saying no. Without the assurances of the club, I cant certainly imagine Gerrard's head being turned.

I actually feel sick to be a Liverpool supporter. All the garbage that has been spouted by our own supporters has driven Gerrard out, I am pretty certain of that. I think at this stage, the management have been trying to ensure that damage limitation is in place, simply to try and protect the club against a supporters backlash. Gerrard is a consummate professional, so he will definitely try not to damage the club - at the same time, he is clearly very emotional over all this.

I never advocated paying top wages to mercenaries like Joe Cole or Maxi Rodriguez - but at the same time, some kind of recognition needs to be given to the likes of Gerrard given his stature at the club. I think that simply hasn't happened here. Carragher actually said exactly the same words I am saying, and given his treatment, I reckon he is spot on. Gerrard simply does not fit into their moneyball philosophy - so he will be ditched.

I have spoken my mind and backed up why I think that way over the last month so I don't see the need to do it again and be attacked for having an opinion.

"agenda" "plastic fan" and all that sh1t because I don't follow the party line.

Despite all the money spent - not one of those players is as good as a 34 year old Steven Gerrard in the hear and now.

Would your opinion be the same I'd Gerrard said Rodgers is a spoofed??

Taken in conjunction with Rodgers performance in his role, in the transfer market & actually in his career to date, there'd at least be something to back up the "spoofer" comment.

It has been clear even since the Assaidi tranfer that Rodgers has only minimal control over transfers.

I don't know about that.... Lallana has done well as part of a front 3, Moreno is decent....Can looks a good signing too.

Position wise Lallana is the only fair comparison, in the here and now he is definitely as good as Gerrard over a game / 60 minutes imo.

Where would you play Gerrard now to most effect and who would you leave out of the 11 that started against Swansea to fit him in?

Ah Francie, which is it?

Weren't "we" ****ing burning his effigy when he was possibly going to go to Chelsea all those years back. Gerrard has taken worse, taken serious abuse, as most professional footballers have, from rival fans and sometimes those claiming to be Liverpool fans. I'd say that **** is water off a duck's back.

I'd say it's more of the club management not willing to stump up more cash.

Thankfully he didn't say 'marquee' in the quotes, from what I searched.

Now? As opposed to when Gerrard was 27.

Maicon would be marquee.

Rumours going around on twitter that Shaqiri has chosen Inter Milan over LFC.

We must be cursed or something when it comes to signing good players

I think he hates to be on the bench, he wants to play all he can while he still can and he now sees that at Liverpool he won't be starting much next year. Also he no doubt knows why, physically he's not up to it anymore. 35 is a fair age in the PL, I don't think a Lampard type role appeals.... He wants games at CM pinging great passes about and he will do that in the States to great effect.
