    The worst thing about that article was this...




    Ugh.


    I'd give him the contract just to stop the inevitable 'I can't believe we let him go' posts when he does something worthwhile every few months.

    Although the contract would be 50 grand per week, reduced to 10 if he starts that weeks game.

    Jesus, I thought we had it Bad, but B. Dortmund is actually at the Bottom of Bundesliga!

    Wonder what Nuri is feeling right now. Since 2 of his Teams (Liverpool, Dortmund) are currently Struggling.

    No major surprise tbh
    Rodgers had plenty to spend in the summer and I can't see FSG sanctioning another big spend.
    Who'd really trust him anyway going by the majority of his transfer dealings so far.

    Has the manager had full say though ? To me it seems like it's him and the transfer committee that decide the players !!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,987 ✭✭✭Kerrigooney


    What's the point of another big spend? He won't even play the players that were bought during the summer.

    It doesn't appear he has 100% control, more of a group effort. Whatever was used last summer would be continued in Jan if money is to be spent.

    Who said they were driving him to the airport?

    That goal was the best thing to happy him and the club in a long time if it gets him his move away.

    Cheeky bid for Mkhitaryan? or Misskhitaryan as he is now known! :p

    Anyone know when the next round of tv fixtures are announced?

    I've a possible ticket for villa away and west ham at home.

    It's all well and good getting rid of Johnson but we need a replacement.

    You see what happened when we didn't replace Suarez, completely different players and influence on the team I know but before we know it an injury or two and Kolo or Gerrard is playing right back, another shambles in the making.

    Hopefully Sturridge will come back in January and get into double figues by the end of the season like he did when he first arrived.

    Lets say sturridge comes does come back in Jan and hit 10/12 goals, that along with our current scoring rate will leave us around the 60 goal mark.

    Absolutely no where near enough to finish in the top 4 particularly when we are conceding like we are at the moment also.

    We genuinely need another top striker to contribute 10/12 goals from Jan along with Sturridge..

    You're slow off the mark. He announced it a couple of pages back :)

    Djimi wouldn't have it any other way!

    Well I don't have any faith in the club buying players anymore be it the manager or the transfer committee.

    It maybe time to promote from within.

    Hopefully Flanagan can come back to full fitness and fill the RB role.

    As for a striker I don't see FSG having the faith in those picking the players to give them a huge budget in January. I don't balme them either.

    Caught a half of the Dortmund game and the similarities with us were eerie. They couldn't defend for toffee, the midfield was inept and the attackers played with no confidence. It's interesting how we've both managed to implode in such a similar way.

    I've a possible ticket for villa away and west ham at home.

    Fixtures have been announced until the end of January so those games are both remaining as 3pm Saturday kickoffs.

    Wisdom will be back next year, he's good enough to be 2nd choice right back without a doubt. Manquillo may stay on a permanent basis. Flanagan too, I forgot about him tbh.

    The £120k/week Johnson is on at the moment will easily finance another purchase.
    Lets say sturridge comes does come back in Jan and hit 10/12 goals, that along with our current scoring rate will leave us around the 60 goal mark........
    I'd sooner look at points rather than goals scored as a meaningful measure, many goals are effectively meaningless, points are not :)


    On current points haul we are on course for 50/51 points, if we had been playing Lambert all along I thing we'd already be on course for the 60 point mark I reckon, that would get 7th/8th in last years table.

    Last year Arsenal scored 68 goals and they attained 79 points & 4th, I don't think the 4th placed team will have 79 points this year.

    Anyway...... we can be almost sure Borini is off in January, minimum £8m I'd reckon, we will probably see a forward of some sort come in, I do think if he had left a few months back we would have seen someone come in than, maybe even Remy, who knows :)

    As bad as we've been we are 3 points off Arsenal & Spurs and level with Everton.

    West Ham, Southampton, Newcastle or Swansea won't be in the top 4.

    Things are far from rosy in the garden but maybe an element of progress is being made, Gerrard hasn't been in the starting 11 twice in the last few weeks, Lucas seems solid enough along with Allen. Gerrard isn't too unhappy....https://twitter.com/MostarLFC/status/538757778177679360?cn=cmVjb3NfbmV0d29ya19kaWdlc3RfYWI%3D


    Lambert has done pretty well and you'd nearly fancy him to score again soon, perhaps even on Tuesday...... YNWA folks
