We all know people are inclined to make it bigger to get clicks and the rival fans want to believe it's massive.
Martin Zubimendi doesn't sign for Liverpool because he couldn't bare leaving the mountains Liverpool win the Premier League with Gravenberch as YPOTY, Salah as Player of the Year and Sociedad finish 11th Leaves Sociedad for Arsenal ok
This may be controversial opinion but James Milner was the signing of the century. It's not our managers that have changed the clubs outlook in the last half decade... It's the aura of James Milner. Even now after he is gone his aura guided us to the title. You can disagree if you like, but you'd be wrong.
Everyone wanted Torres. I remember Fergie was mad that we got him. Great player for a season and a half.
Düsseldorf? Familiar with Heiligenhaus/Velbert area (not far)? My family who escaped the East settled in that area. I'm not sure where they are now, I'm sure my Mum does though. Most of the German "milks" are in former East Germany South of Berlin. Can't say I remember anything about Düsseldorf though, probably last went there 40 years ago when I was tiny.
Then Torres went to Chelsea and the goals dried up, hence the joke” a Chelsea supporter went into a coma after a head injury, when he woke up he asked how long he had been in a coma. When told two years, his next question was “ has Torres scored yet?”
You are not wrong. The stench of milner is pervasive. The iron will with which he controlled the dressing room is still there. if a laid back man like vvd is now the captain doing all the work he must have had some influence. The culture of klopp was built with senior pros and getting rid of bad eggs like sahko Henderson and milner were perfect for klopp. Now vvd, salah, Robertson, macallister all still align to the same culture. It's hard to build.but easy to tear apart. Slot has benefitted from it and no doubt sought to strengthen it
Rumours suggest Stevie G might be in for the assistant role should heitinga leave for ajax. Wouldn't mind that at all
Wise words from Slot. On Gerrard as assistant if Heitinga leaves, I don't think that would work. I can't see his personality and profile at the club integrating into the Slot setup.
In what way? Personally I think it would be a positive for players and staff to have a legend helping around the training ground
Very odd one. Wonder if he saw us win the title and thought this might be my last chance and has some regrets so thought would now move
Ah London, Famous for its Mountains. I remember it well, Edmund Hillary conquering Mt Highbury back in 1953 Right up there with the Netherlands as the one of the most mountainous places in the world.
If he was there as some kind of motivational coach, then maybe but his personality doesn't fit with the quietly confident, competent, under the radar flying coaching team we have now. Thinking about it, he maybe would have fitted with Klopp whose own personality would have overwhelmed Gerrard's and kept it in check or balanced, depending on how you look at it but aside from all this, he's not shown that he's at the standard yet that gets him a coaching job at the club. Those who were suggesting him as new manager when Klopp left, have pretty much changed their minds from what I've seen, about him ever getting the gig. The Saudi move put loads of people off too.
