Your careers were very different at club level, but you actually came close to signing for Liverpool at first, didn't you? Yes, in 1983 I had the opportunity to sign for Liverpool. We actually agreed a deal and I came over with my father to talk to Liverpool's representatives. We agreed a three-year contract and went away thinking it was all done. But two weeks later they came back saying they wanted to offer me the same package, but for four years because I was still young and needed time to develop. I was disappointed because although nothing had been signed, we had an agreement. I decided not to join them and people thought I was crazy. This 19-year-old was turning down the great Liverpool. It wasn't really like that though. I just felt an agreement is an agreement and people should stick to what they decide. After that, I had other offers and went on to join Juventus. That's football for you. Off LFC.TV from 2011.
Starting XI : Jones, Robinson, Coates, Carragher, Henderson, Shelvey, Allen, Cole, Assaidi, Yesil, Downing
Liverpool Team To Face Swansea City. Jones; Henderson, Carragher, Coates, Robinson; Shelvey, Allen, Cole; Assaidi, Yesil, Downing. SUBS: Ward, Suarez, Gerrard, Suso, Sterling, Skrtel, Wisdom. Welcome to the forum!
Ward on the bench is interesting. Good to see him there. Surprised no Morgan in the squad to be honest. Glad to see Yesil starting. Hope Downing isn't too ****e.
The kip of that team he's put out lol. Henderson RB and Joke Cole. Only one team winning this now. I actually am starting to think Brendan wants to go out to reduce the numer of games because considering were defending the cup that is one weak as **** lineup!
If I was to saw 'Manchester United' would you start to froth at the mouth and turn a curious red colour? If so, you could be KPR.
Lets see how the first half pans out,we have a very strong bench tonight. Plus Swansea are missing a few and that might be part of BRs thinking.
No no. Henderson has played RB before and done well. Cole is a highly experienced player and deserves a game. I think it is a strong team overall. Robinson is a good LB. Assaidi will boss your RB. Allen and Shelvey are major squad members any way.
