He mentioned he had offers. It's the newspaper that's naming (speculating on?) the clubs.

Ah that makes more sense.

Newspapers adding 2+2 and coming up with 349 again by the sounds of it.

Can somebody explain to me why we did'nt land Lopez from Madrid at the end of last season ?

Would have been a great buy.

Because we are pretty crap at transfers and wouldn't know a good deal if it hit the transfer committee in the face like a wet fish. Apparently Madrid just paid him off to leave for free and all.

Maybe this is why? I really do think most people don't realise how Mignolet is not as bad as everyone makes out and guys like Begovic, Lopez, Vorm, Ocha etc are not as good. At best they are on a similar level, the only difference is people rarely actually watch those other keepers so don't see their mistakes.

I'd rather have the Inter Keeper, he's big and has a great name for a goalie.

I just hope there is no truth in the stories linking us with Ochoa and Romero, I dont think they be any improvement on Mig. Imo they're both too small and any time I've watched them, they never hold onto the ball and always parrying the ball back into the paths of oncoming attackers.

Tim Howard thinks that Mig may be finished at Anfield.

There were some people who thought that Jones would do a better job than Mignolet. So it comes as no surprise that the keepers you mentioned are being overrated.

Rodgers sure does like his attacking midfielders but I think we have enough of them.

He is also a proven talent that works against him.

You don't get tired of throwing out these lines, do you? Seriously, be as openly critical of the man as you wish but couldn't you leave the rather childish put-downs out?

That hat's for you and your comment in the match thread attacking me for my posts.

No sense of humour.

I had a feeling you might pop up and attack me again.

If you have issues with my posts as this is the second time you have attcked me in two days either block me or report the posts.

I don't see you pulling up any other posters.

Don't be a dick is the Boards motto.

Shaqiri for £10m is beyond ridiculous, no?

get on it.

Hit a nerve have I? It's simple - you're clearly down on Rodgers which you're fully entitled to be. Voicing that in a coherent way is better than having to read consistently snidy comments as to the manager's ability/lack of ability.
It's a decent thread which is frequently engaging and the two posts of yours I replied to you about were just childish, contributing nothing. Humour is great - yours just aren't funny, that's the difference. That motto applies to everyone.

Well then go ahead and block me or report my posts as I siad as I won't be bullied into not posting just because you don't like the way I post.

Yes the motto does apply to everyone but you are attacking me not my posts.

I like the way when he gets the ball he is looking forward straight away. Always trying to advance. Same with AL. As for Hendo last few games seems like he has been told to pass the ball backwards or level but never forward.

Hendo has a Fantastic Engine, that will Run for you, specially if there is Space.

But 1 thing he can't do, is Dribble the Ball. So whenever he tries to Beat his Man, more often than not, he's going to Pass it back.

1 of the Reasons why I want Gerrard dropped, is so that we can put Hendo at CM, and put a True Winger on the Right.

We're so Lopsided in our Attack right now. With most of it, coming from the Left.

I think that's also one of the Reasons why we've gone 3 at the Back. So we can accommodate Gerrard, as well as having the prerequisite amount of Midfielders/Wingers, to make our Fast Paced Football effective.

But it also mean that our Defense is even more Susceptible to the Opponent's Counterattacks. Since you're tasking Marko/Hendo as Wingbacks, when they are not Defenders by Trade.

Our CBs are also getting Pulled out Wide, because of this. Leaving a Glaring Hole in the Middle. Thank God, Bournesmouth could not take Advantage of that, unlike Man U. And hopefully Arsenal won't either.

I have no intention of blocking you or your posts. I've seen you engage in proper discussion here - I have no idea where you're getting the idea that I'm bullying you though. Perhaps you should report my posts if you feel that? Anyway, we're derailing the thread with this. And I'm definitely having a go at your posts. I know nothing about you.

No biggie as he is injured and Sterling is now the default striker.

Looking at the last 2 matches, i wouldn't agree that we are more exposed to counter attacks.

With 3 CBs, once one is dragged out to defend, we still have 2 CBs in the middle to defend(natch). With 2CBs and attacking FBs, we would only have only 1 CB in the middle and depending on a midfielder busting a gut to fill a hole in the middle. Now that there is a CB there, the midfielder can track the most dangerous attacker running from deep which most midfielders would be fairly OK at.

If one of 3 CBs are pulled wide, it isn't such a big problem with having 2 CBs left and not such a glaring hole left.

Shocking that he is banned and fined for such a silly reason. It was a joke, not even in poor taste imo.

Whats interesting is under the article theres a poll on whether Rodgers was right to drop Mignolet or not... 73% in favour! Pretty shocked at that.

MR NINE

Shaqiri for ten mill would be an excellent signing. However, as has been pointed out, we have a lot of attacking midfielders and wide forwards already so its unlikely we'll sign him. Its a shame though, i think he'd do very well in the prem
