yes yes... it is fan boy talking
but its also... ohoh we are seriously lacking realist MITO talking.
1. What we have:
RB: wisdom, flanagan (injured) manquillo (homesick?)
LB: moreno, enrique(told to find new club.
In all fairness we are desperately short as proved by can playing out of position.
At 33 arbeloa has played well and at the maximum of his potential for real madrid. He did very very well to get a game there IMO. that proves he is solid.
It cannot prove if the guy can still run.
BUT... lfc have right now one full back in each poition at best and really.. moreno can't defend and i don't think rodgers trusts wisdom.
2. Reservations:
As a result even for one year arbeloa would make some sense to me.. redconn is very wise in his reservations I also agree with those.
3. average tag:
and finally as i have said... [HASHTAG]#average[/HASHTAG] is not an insult. most prem players are [HASHTAG]#average[/HASHTAG] after all. the mediocre ones dont last long or get a game and the good ones move up the league to find their level.
so flanagan is average. that's better than being championship like little jay spearing or stephen Darby, of tom ince or a plethora of other lads we might name.
4. my aims:
LFC can carry a few once they are not bang in the centre of the team and setting the tone. LFC need to focus most of their available cash on a striker and a CM now. Realistically milner is a good add but he can't be the total add and so we really need another CM and we are in dire need of a real forward.
If we spunk 35-40 mil on one player up front, 15mil on Kovaci and added ings, milner, arbeloa wile balancing the books with many dead wood transactions I would say realistically thats ok no?
