Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)
You are talking about the same Roy Hodgson that brought Poulsen, Konchesky and Brad Jones and made us a fight for relegation ?
About Kenny, if he doesnt want him in the team, fair enough, he is clearly trying to implant a british spine in the team. It is ok, I just want people to say things the way they are, because everyone is here making it look as "oh, poor old man, he wants Aquilani so badly and the fucking italian just wants to leave and have no respect for this club". And that is bullshit.
About wether he is pretend by other clubs. First of all, that is completely irrelevant because there are far more things involved in a transfer that just quality. The only team interested in Xabi Alonso three years ago was Juventus, and they ended prefering Poulsen over him. What does that say about him, eh ? Nonetheless, wasnt he on the verge of arriving to Juventus before they got Pirlo on a free and Agnelli changed the coach ? Isnt he now pretended by the italian champions ?
First of all, about the brithish spine you talk so often.. what the hell? what the hell are you talking about? We have no British spine AT ALL. Reina, Skrtel, (Agger who will always play when fit under Kenny), Lucas, Suarez, Meireles... all players who were the first names on team with Dalglish and all i consider our spine.. are they BRITISH?
The most important for Dalglish - owners - Comolli is to build a winning side, not british winning side, but winning side for FUTURE. Thats why they gave chance to our mostly british reserve players. The fact we bought Adam, Henderson, Carroll and Downing has nothing to do with their nationality FFS. We bought them becouse
1. they are premier league proven
2. they were avileable
3. there is good years in them, in case of Henderson and Carroll whole career ahead
4. they were bought to strenght the team, not to kick Meireles, Aquilani or Gerrard out of the squad.
TO STRENGHT THE DEPTH, TO GIVE OPTIONS FOR THE MANAGER.
Look at our squad before that..look at other teams squad depth..we were fucked after Gerrard, Meireles injury.. becouse we had no replacement.. Aquilani as Henry said was the missing piece last season..
The fact our new signings are british has nothing to do with Dalglish not wanting other than brithish spine or preferuing british players..thats BULLSHIT. Dalglish bought this players becouse they are ideal for his pass and move style + they are here to make our squad depth biger and to provide alternatives but also competition for the other players..
Do you think Adam will now kick Lucas out of the team...did Lucas signed long term contract to be on bench?? Do you think Downing will now start every single match? or Henderson will kick Meireles out of first 11? It´s up to the coach what players he pick... if Skrtel was fit, he would have played yesterday instead of Carragher...
mate sort your thinking becouse what you think is simply unreal..
about the british spine.. What team except Wengers early noughties Arsenal did won the premier league without having british players in first 11? name me that team..
British spine, or at least British leaders are essential in top british league clubs, WHY? becouse players from other countries don´t usualy give a damn about the club and what he means (Torres, Mascherano, Tevez, Fabregas are here just either for wacation, or to make money or to win things when the times are good) but when the times are bad, it´s the british or local players who (in best case are leaders) are the motivators, becouse they grew up with the team, they know what the team means, they die for the team.. (Gerrard, Rooney, Scholes, Tony Adams, and many more in past..) Premier league can´t be won or you can think from non premier league players to pick a club when it´s down, to stay with club for bad times, not to fuck with the club when better oportunity comes..
Rooney almost did this, he would have made big mistake,
Torres did this, Mascherano did this, Tevez would do this, Fabregas, Nasri would do this,
just for example Spearing, Carra, Gerrard, Giggs, Scholes, Terry would NEVER do this..and if, it would be in case they are with peace with the fans.. not the oposite...or they would be doing it becouse the club want´s it..
to end this post...i go back to our transfers..
Just tell me what kind of transfers do you expect from British manager and Comolli who is French? A normal person would think this guys would go most of all for british players or maybe Ligue 1 players or Premier league proven players..(wich is what Comolli officaly anounced but nevermid..) British managers usualy do this..It´s their foreign co-managers or co-coaches who usualy tell them what foreign players to sign... Would Ferguson sign Ronaldo or Nani, if there was no Portugal connection with their that time co-coach Queiroz? It makes sence Rafa bought players he knew from mostly spain clubs, Mourinho bought his known Portugal players and so on... this is logical we can wait for our coach to sign players he want, and players he thinks are good, IF KENNY thinks Carroll is the best CF Liverpool could have... then he buys him, becouse he belives he is.. He would not buy even Aguero if he knew Carroll is better for the future, for the team and for LONG term.
I rather have Carroll for next 10 years playing for the club and winning matches than Ballotelli any day of the week..
i give a 5.th point about why we bought this players, becouse they WANTED to come and play for us. it was their desire.
the other guy we were after was Phil Jones from Blackburn, but he decieded he wanted to go to United.
Do you think we would not want Mata, Aguero, Modric, Bale or any other quality player here..??? But it is simply not possible for the team RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT WITHOUT THE EUROPEAN LEAGUES to atract the players who are WORLD class or their clubs won´t sell them...also we are not Real Madrid, and we never bought superstars, we prefeur to make them and to play as team.. something Barcelona is doing succesfully and something our new Owners want to continue apply with us.. We can be thankfull we have owners who are fantastic and thinking way ahead..look at our academy, who is coach (is he british???)..look at the post #27934..
