Ok so we over spent on players then cheap stake on other players and then spend close to £150m on players the manager doesn't want and doesn't use.

I guess that's the crazy crazy crazy world of SKY TV money powered Premier league football for you.

The leader is good, the leader is great...

This thread is not a place for critical analysis at present. Full on 'ra ra!!' mode is engaged. The time to analyse our transfer policy will come later. Patience.

Rodgers is a yes man to the money men. He is told what to do by the money men. He throws people under the bus to keep the money men happy so he can keep his job that is given to him by the money men. Rodgers is weak willed and will do what it takes to keep the money men happy, no matter what.

Rodgers doesn't play the players the money men spend big money on. He plays the players he wants to because he's stubborn and has a painting of himself in his house. Rodgers will only play the players he wanted himself no matter what and will disregard the signings made by the transfer committee just to annoy the money men.

All Rodgers has to do is keep winning games......no one will care after that.

But, but, but Rodgers is more evil than Hitler dipped in nuclear waste eating a baby!

So if those tweets yesterday by Tony Barrett are anything to go by Illarramendi will be a transfer committee so then won't get game time.

PL signings = Rodgers

Non PL signings = transfer committee.

Tony Barrett is talking out of his dickhole. He's speculating as much as the rest of us.

The post number with 3 6's in it brings up Hitler Hmmmmm

That's Rodgers' fault, like everything else.

That's it, keep winning games and achieve something this season and it's hunky dory.

Fail and get the bullet.

Pretty straightforward.

Of course it is. At the end of the 13/14 season even Mr Alan and Lloyd were saying they had been wrong about Rodgers. After the calamities of last season though they changed their minds back again. If we finish top 3 this season and are in that are of the table all season they won't be calling for Rodgers to go, although they will I'm sure still retain doubts of course.

Much as we all want to win in style, at the end of the day, it is of course a results based business, with the possible exception being if it is totally puke football perhaps, but I'd say it'd still be very small amounts of criticism in that case.

Barrett has always been reliable imo. I don't remember anything he said recently that was untrue. There was an article in The Echo about it too.

Trust me, we could win ten games in a row and be three games away from the title and some fans still wouldn't be happy.

Listen, some fans are so dug into their internet trenches, they're actually forgetting what it's actually like to take enjoyment from the club they support. And i'm talking about the basic glory of your team scoring more goals than the opposing team.

Jesus Wept · 15-08-2015 03:43PM

It's all gunna go tits up m8s. Has Klopp taken a job yet or has one lined up that gives up no chance of getting him in?

He'll be available around December and Guardiola might be available next summer.

Jesus Wept · 15-08-2015 03:54PM

Guardiola is a clown mate. Let's take the German lad on.

Some training pics. Lucas looks happy.

Shelvey with a beautiful assist in the Newcastle game. Top form for the last two games.

Wonder if we'll end up regretting that one?

brevity · 15-08-2015 04:03PM

I don't think so, I think he'll be a solid player (a good performance here and there) for Swansea but he was hit and miss for us.

BorneTobyWilde · 15-08-2015 04:09PM

I hope Rodgers is manager for years to come
Yea we might play bad or look defensively poor
I doubt Rodgers looks at this and thinks
'Exactly what I'm looking for''
He takes pride in his tactical ability as a manager
There's a way in which he envisions us performing
And there is the reality of how we do

I really regret us selling him.

But only because every time he occasionally whacks one in from 35 yards or starts the season well, someone asks if we'll regret selling him.

Ok a very small minority of fans will hold grudges for some reason, but no-one will care had a better ring to it.

Or "no-one should care" would have worked.

Apparently we didn't have much of a say in it in the end. Both Rodgers and Gerrard sat him down to ask him to stay but he had no interest. He wanted to play regularly so tbf to him, he was right to move.

Obviously the club could've dug its heels in but you can only do so much when a player wants to leave for the benefit of the career especially young players.

He's a talented footballer who needs slightly better coaching and discipline to make it at the top level IMO. But could form part of a lethal trio with Ayew and Montero if the early stages of the season are to go by. Adding it Sigurdsson, Ki and Cork and they really have one of the best midfields in the league outside the top 6 IMO.

Turtyturd · 15-08-2015 04:23PM

Shelvey's a better Jack Wilshere, will never amount to much.

NukaCola · 15-08-2015 04:25PM

Well, at least when Shelvey was told he wont play much he actually left for first team football, unlike some other players in the squad.

Also, he can be very good on his day but he's just really inconsistent and as a young player that will happen. Not sorry he left as he makes glaring errors too often but seems to be doing well for Swansea so good luck to him.

Thought Borini was being "frozen out"?
