    Because Rodgers has himself stated catagorically that he calls the shots re:transfers

    I'd be surprised if he is.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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
    Andrew Carroll

    Season 09/10
    Glen Johnson Hit
    Chris Mavinga
    Stephen Sama
    Alberto Aquilani $H1t
