Have to disagree on Kelly - has pace, strength, not afraid of a tackle, will go up and down that line like a train... a much better option to Johnson currently. As for the rest of the back line: Skrtel looks too nervy too often, he's a good CB but there are doubts, if we sense them the team must. Toure isn't one for the future but good filler/squad player. I rate Agger, always have always will. Enrique, very powerful and pacy, bit crazy and rash too. Depends on which Enrique shows up really. Johnson, well, he's always on the pitch. Sakho is one for the future as well as the present... can be one of the top defenders in the world. Ilori... ??? No clue. Hunch says trash, looks lightweight for the position. Coates, get rid for as much as we can still get, crock and useless. What we need are players for the present / future as I say about Sakho, i.e. those who are currently playing at a certain level and have potential to develop further and only get better. We've got so many defenders but such a shoddy defence it doesn't say good things about our scouting/transfer decision making back there, too much gambling on maybes and might justs, if we want to compete at the top we've got to go after the big game.
Kelly was very good before he was injured but he seems to be struggling at the moment. However I don't think he is technically that good, and Rodgers wants players who are technical and play with intelligence. The same applies to Enrique who is a strong squad player but Rodgers wanted another left back before he was injured. Wisdom is a better option at right back than Kelly IMO. The reason I said that we need a new RCB is because we should be looking for a long term partner for Sakho.
I know you all love Lawro's opinion: I'v highlighted the key quote that shows Lawro's footballing genius.
From Daily Telegraph on BBC Gossip pages: "Liverpool are ready to make a formal bid for Basel's 21-year-old Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah, who has been valued at £12m by the French side." Last time I checked Basel were a Swiss team
A lot of the reliable local journos now running with the Salah story - we want him for £8m but Basel want £12m.
dif sources keep rehashing the tello story as well, how many times we need to be told he wants to stay and fight to get in the team ffs and re assess in the summer.
yeah... we really need CMs not rumours about wingers who won't do a thing to improve us over the next 6 month, nor likely over the next 3 years. fine he's a CL player of "some " repute" but ok... we wanted better didn't get them moses is useless.... but would you rather hope 4 men up front could rotate with one game a week or KNOW your midfield is in big trouble. I'd rather us try sort the CM slot now.
Telegraph reporting that Johnson's contract won't be renewed in the summer - again, nothing new but a reliable journo is now reporting it.
don't need to be a reliable journo to see that twat doesn't justify his wages and will be leaving, tell in the i don't give a **** attitude we see from him on the pitch, ****!
jsut want to say that points to lawro assuming we are a mid table side... LFC are fine.. they can't get 4th so why improve... what a muppet he is. Our team needs 8 players according to ferguson to win the title.. would you believe a drunken sodomite or lawro..
I'd go for what Ferguson said (feel dirty now). Guy knew football, also knew Man U were spent, that he'd have to buy a whole new squad and that it was never going to happen. So got himself out right on the cusp.
Salah rumour picking up pace………AGAIN!!! http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...-launch-8m-bid-for-mohamed-salah-9071441.html
