SUMMER 2K14 Transfer Rumour Thread...

[InBiscanWeTrust]

Yeah he's got a far better pedigree as is much more used to dealing with big name players than Mancini and Mourinho

Rodgers handlded Suarez better than Mancini or Mourinho have dealt with big controversial players. Mourinho can't deal with young players at all, good or bad.

Would love it if we signed Balo tbh

Mancini's handling of Tevez was piss poor

Tevez acted like a bell end in that incident and Mancini treated him accordingly.

However, he still went on to be a key player in their title winning side the follwoing season, so your point is moot.

 

[Flappy Flanagan (JK)]

I have a feeling these Balotelli rumours are true.

Brazil's World Cup goalkeeper Julio Cesar has joined Benfica after being released by Queens Park Rangers

So Rodgers wants competition in goal and missed this?

....but of course, Balotelli won't have been managed by such a top drawer manager.

I really hope not. Rather Bony than Balotelli.

Tobes if you're petty enough to list manager of the month awards you ought to be consistent and put BR's down too

Fair point

That wouldn't help his argument though

Yeah, and he very quickly moved away from his argument about handling big name players when he remembered who the **** he was talking about

Your quote;

And that Rodgers is a better manager than anyone he's previously played for

Therefore, totally the point

Rodgers has achieved knack all in the game yet, to say that he's a better manager is therefore idiotic when faced with the facts #10428.

Taking Swansea from Championship to 11th in the PL in 2 season's is a big achievement.

Taking Liverpool from 7th - 2nd in 2 seasons is an achievement.

I said he's a better manager, not that he's won more trophies and awards.

If we sign Balotelli, he will be managed better than under any previous manager.

It's evidently true, get over it

Also, it's not completely clear that awards won before managing Balotelli (or another player) matter although they might help with respect (for a manager with an otherwise weak personality), but's it's certain that trophies won AFTER the manager has then been forced to **** off to another club don't matter

 

[JonnyBaws]

Get rid of one basket case and wheel in a even bigger one.

He's an absolute helmet.

We must be glutens for punishment if we do sign him, on his day, he's superb, but that day doesn't come around too often!

the original point was about managing players better - ie handling big ego's etc. Not about who has won the most trophies

We've got Sturridge for when he has an off day though
