Some of you called him the Ass Man, others called him Ozzy. Who ever predicted he'd go out on loan because we wont be able to find a buying give yourself a pat on the back. Assaidi has had such a none starter of an LFC career that I did debate whether this news was even thread worthy... But I think its best to be polite to Assaidi and pretend that we are gutted (for more than the fact that we are probably paying his wages...). http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/latest-news/143602-assaidi-joins-stoke-on-loan Edit: and yes, I realize I wrote offical!
It is good for players to go on loan if it's going to improve them as future Liverpool players. But I do not think he is in long term plan of Rodgers.
Even with the second string line-up for tonights game against Notts county, Assaidi wasn't getting a look in. May as well move him on, can't see too many being surprised.
