Michael Laudrup

Next person to be linked with us, sky reports say he is on the shortlist and has many admirers at Anfield.

Don't know about him as a manager but him and his bro were probably the two players I most wanted to see at Anfield as a lad. Fabulous to watch...silky is the word

 

sadly im old enough to remember when we tried to sign him as a youth

 

No doubt he would have many connections and be a lure for prospective player acquisitions. His managerial career is generally positive also.

 

I mentioned him yesterday as a good choice on another forum as he has currently resigned from his last job so wont cost anything.
Only problem is he has turned down jobs in the past to stay in spain.

 

I'd take him, he was a cracking player but has that name that should be able to bring people over? We shall see.

Cruyff and Laudrup, if only we could suit them up!

 

Interesting option; wouldn't reject him out of hand, he was a superb player!

 

Another I would like to see at least approached is Rudi Garcia the manager of Lille. They play decent attacking football and he has shown improvement year on year, meets the age criteria too.

 

Good shout! Although can't see him leaving anytime soon.

 

Not sure what I think about Laudrup. He played good attacking football at Brondby and Getafe but he failed with Mallorca and Moscow for whatever reason. Still young and clearly wants to employ attractive football though

 

He had agreed terms etc and was about to join until someone from the club leaked the news to the press...

 

Doesn't he like Joe Cole...?

 

All managers have failures in their closet, those two bad experiences will hopefully help him in the long term...

 

I know nothing about his managing style, but try to imagine him with our players.

 

@GuillemBalague: Michael Laudrup: "I havent been approached by LFC but it is 1 of the top clubs in the world. I would love to manage that huge club one day"

Dodgey source but appears to be a direct quote.

Telling you: all smoke & mirrors; has been & always going to be Martinez.

If my gut is wrong it's wrong......

 

Yeah forgot about that, must be **** then, forget it

 

Well, I was actually thinking slightly different. Maybe, if he is able to get the best out of Cole, then Cole could return to Liverpool and do us a job...?

 

Carry the bucket and magic sponge?? (Showing my age now )

 

All bollocks.

Was he a better player than Dalglish? No.
