If he goes to a big team then I'll thank him for his services and wish him well.. As long as its for good money >10M would be good business and I trust we'll get someone good in to replace him... If he stays, I'll be chuffed too...
I've mentioned before that we need a RCB and Williams plays LCB. I don't think we are in for him. I think he's a good player but not what we need at all.
That sounds logical mate, trouble is Brenden thinks Swans players are the answer to everything! he also knows what he can get out of Ash, it will making the link between defence and midfield more fluid given the automatic understanding that joe allen has with Ash. Personally i think the move is a gamble by rodgers,if ash didnt settle the fans will be on brenden straight away. Rodgers is a bit iffy with transfers, the best signing ive seen him make for you is coutinho but i bet you will probably find he was known to the chelsea scouting system and they probably tried to sign him there years ago ala Borini,Sinclair,Sturridge etc. It will be intresting to see which way this goes ,Ash is indeed a massive liverpool fan and he also loves brenden. FSG may have something to say though.
I'm happy enough with his transfers so far ish. I rate Allen and Borini many Liverpool fans will argue that but I'm sure they will come good. As you say though he may be reliant on the knowledge that he has built but surely every manager does that? Our scouts may hold Rodgers fate in their hands, if we get more like Coutinho he may be ok but if his spending in the Summer doesn't provide us with quality then he's screwed.
Borini and Allen are good players indeed. I get the impression with rodgers that he was a bit too eager to go out and sign these boys though, before Borini was injured he was getting played wide and having seen him at the swans it was a massive waste to put him there, rodger obviously knows more than me but it didnt help him or borini. Allen came in and did ok but i dont think his personality is strong enough to dictate things in that midfield with gerrard around. Right players but at slightly the wrong times maybe? gerrard as fantastic a player he is can also be a part of the problem, he likes to put the ball long where rodgers likes to streach teams and play inbetween the spaces,borini is perfect for this sytem,so is joe but to tell gerrard to change his game would i guess be potentially suicide in LFC. Liverpool are playing some nice stuff though and if rodgers doesnt balls up in the summer transfer market then it could get alot better for you. We always thought brenden was lacking in certain tactical areas and in games ive seen of you it has cried out for a different approach after 60mins. This was a big failing for us Swans fans and we all felt there was room for improvement in that aspect. Andy carrol would have been the perfect option but for some reason rodgers thought he needed to be moved on (thinking he had someone else lined up of course) I do get the feeling that alot of Liverpool fans are getting a bit fed up with being linked with swans players,JDG is another one recently linked, and i do beleive that if Liverpool want to improve further then the next step is the type of player like a christian errikson or equivilent, i beleive you are being linked with this player and if rodgers gets him then it may make other players consider dropping out of euro football for a season. If Ash did go it would be intresting to see how you cope with set pieces, we have been **** at them for many years..well, ever since ash joined us actually and i guess we will find out if it was linked to him or linked to our whole defensive unit, watching him at set piece for Wales tells me lacking a bit of height at the top level can sometimes be a problem.
It is clear that we need a defender that is good in the air and that Rodgers doesn't rate Skrtel and with Carra retiring we must buy in that position. I hope I'm right about Allen and Henderson as I see them as our future midfield but there is a lot of work and experience needed for that to work. It seems to me that we have a very good young squad but we need quality now it's a big Summer for us.
No way, the players we bring in will be around the 25 years old mark, Williams may move on but not to us.
Gooner in peace Not entirely sure we'll sign him. Like Liverpool, we need a RCB, someone who can play alongside Koscielny, and while i think Williams is a very good defender, i don't think Arsene would spend 12 million on someone who doesn't play in France. We'll be buying foreign, and i think (despite what Gonzo says) Liverpool will sign him, purely because of Rodgers connections.
Ash will be joining liverpool ....it has always been liverpool......vorm....who knows? ...Tate to cardiff.. he would rather join hartlepool...
"Tate to Cardiff... he would rather join Hartlepool". You're spot on there Dai,whatever was I thinking about?
What do you mean PGF?? how can you not think Tatey is worth giving one to ? Alan can focus on his scientific studie when he finishes playing so that will be nice for him... [video=youtube;ohjqwN8N30w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohjqwN8N30w[/video]
Alan tate can also go back to his singing after football.. [video=youtube;lf3BNRF9ICc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf3BNRF9ICc[/video]
