More rumours: - Andy Carroll has been admitted to a drug clinic in UK to treat a cocaine addiction. - Rodgers and Henderson to sign new deals shortly. - Suarez to follow suit as well ...
* Shame, but looks like we dodged a bullet there! ** Good! *** If true, most likely for same amount of money he's on now but with a clear cut release clause.
Only way Suarez will sign that is if the release clause is a lower amount then (ie, £40m rather than £60m). He won't sign something with a £60m release clause without a payrise when h thought the previous contained a £40m clause. IMO, if a new deal is reached then he'll get a payrise to sweeten the agreement. However, I can't see him signing unless we either get or look like getting top four (depending on whether we wait until the summer or not)
Coutinho needs a more advanced contract. Like our other key players (Gerrard, Suarez). Not as high as those guys better to show we respect him and mean business with him, and to reward him. Maybe do this at the end of the season. Sturridge to.
the only new contract henderson would sign is to extend his 60k per week... he's already on too much. coutinho is reputedly only on 20k.... imagine that! finally we dodged no bullets on carroll...disaster from day one
I googled Andy Carroll and stories come up about him going to rehab, but for his heel injury. My theory, someone saw rehab, made a joke of it on twitter and it's taken off from there.
The media would have a field day with a English player going to rehab for a cocaine habit, especially Carroll considering how they ran stories about his partying and drinking. Only difference is, he was at Liverpool / Newcastle then and wasn't managed by a media darling
He is a nutter, but a good player. I actually bought him on FIFA with LFC, coincidence, I think not! Another Striker and it is Traore who is a huge due ( think he is 6'6)
Menez could definitely be a shrewd signing - no doubt he has the ability but questions over his attitude and consistency. He would go in the 'Sturridge/Moses' category in that he may not be world class but they have great ability and more importantly, he is an upgrade on what we currently have.
Absolutely - another player with a point to prove! But also, he comes from a big club so he has that experience so he shouldn't be over-awed at the prospect of playing for LFC.
and was at Roma before. Would be interesting. BUT with that being said, Sakho, Pastore, Menez, think since we got Sakho, we suddenly want all these PSG players.....
These are the players we should be targeting - not just from PSG but the other super rich clubs with an abundance of quality in their squads. Both Menez and Pastore are reportedly unhappy so could be looking for moves - and at cut prices ... Doubt we'll get them in January as I think Rodgers wants a DM first and foremost.
THere are some other DM's out there.... Fernando from Shaktar, I think it is also Fernando from Porto, Matic from Benfica, Mario Suarez from Atleti, Lassana Diarra I think just moved but would have been awesome, Romulo or Rafael Carioca from the russian league ( I think both with Spartak?), Gonalons from Lyon. in other words, options.
