Liverpool F.c.

Unless you're connected directly to the club then none of us really know who's signing this was. The only thing that is certain was Ayre went out to finalise the deal and he got it done.

Well aware , but why do you have to run the guy down after he completed a great deal . apparently he is still there so may be more quality signings to come .

Is it a great deal already? Doesn't that remain to be seen?

Nah, he's Brazilian with a "O" on the end of his name, bound to be class.

Of course no one knows how good he will be . One thing is for sure the firminho signing has created a bit more excitement than the Ricky Lambert signing ever did . There are thousands of fans cannot wait for the new season to start .

Just reading that Rodgers is only due back off holiday 6th July . That could mean he has had nothing to do with our recent signings . This got me to thinking Fsg cannot sack a manager without having to payup his contract . This for me is the only reason they did not sack him after the humiliating defeat at Stoke . So what can they do , tell him not to speak to media , not involve him in the running of the club at all so he does the honourable thing & resigns his post without compensation . Now he has gone what do they do ; do we really need a manager on a huge salary that you cannot sack . Or do we get a DOF & top quality coaches to work with the team on the training ground . Would not surprise me at all if this is the way John Henry is thinking .

Did you ever stop to think that the reason he's still incumbent is they couldn't replace him with a suitable candidate!! Its a massive over simplification to suggest a sacking because of a embarrassing defeat.

Carmine as usual you are not reading what I am saying , they do not want a suitable candidate ie they do not want another big name manager on a huge salary they now want a director of football , Does a club really need a manager . The business so far this transfer window has probably been the smoothest it has ever been without the involvement of the manager . Everyone gets carried away by what an important person the manager is , SAF compounded this , but when you look at some of the deadbeats that have become multi millionaires jumping from club to club Sam Allardyce is a good example you do not need them . For me a DOF , but more importantly quality coaches is the way to go .

Just when you thought you'd heard it all...

Where did you read that he's only due back on the 6th. Just because he's on holiday doesn't mean had nothing to do with the signings, they could have been identified last season.

Yea , & pigs might , But for me Rodgers has been told to shut up . Do you really think for one minute even on holiday he would not have something to say , especially re : the Firminho signing .

Right let me get this straight,

Are you saying Brendan has had nothing to do with the 5 signings we've made?

Tell me then Bob do you really think Rodgers has been a success in his 3 yrs at the club . only the bit of success we had was down to Suarez not Rodgers , under his reign our defending has been the worst on record all this & he wastes almost 250 mill in his short stay here . There is not one player he bought that we would make a profit on even if we could sell , maybe one .

[StevieH]

aye. which makes you think that ian ayre's involvement must have been minimal.

You really are an a-ole . I suppose if the clueless clown Rodgers had been involved it would have been great . My only worry with the Firmino signing is Rodgers will f... it up by playing him out of position . Without Rodgers involvement , this window has been great , 5 signings even before the window is officially open . He would still be powdering his nose , looking in the mirror saying how lovely I am .

eh? what now? what is an "a-ole"? is it something spanish?

ian ayre is a bellend. 99% of liverpool fans agree on this. nobody mentioned rodgers in this instance apart from you my odd friend.

Well I wouldn't disagree if we could actually point a solitary finger at Rodgers, but he has not acted alone, the percentage of blame is debatable but i think that's another conversation...I am just a little bemused by your recommendation to get rid of managers.

No its scouse it means arse-ole which of course you are not because it is quite useful . Ian Ayre is a bellend to so called fans like you , to me Ian Ayre is not the bellend at LFC the conman on holiday deserves that name much more .

[alfieconn]

I'm a bit confused all the recent duff buys have been down to the committee and Rodgers didn't get a say in them and now you've got a few signings that your excited about and the committee isn't praised at all and apparently Rodgers has had a hand in them !!!

well you're certainly a font of wisdom on a grey morning. i wish i'd read you sooner, i'd have reached football enlightenment far earlier. what team do you claim to follow that is the recipient of such beneficent perception out of interest? you surely can't be a liverpool supporter, you're clearly far too evolved.

I honestly don't know what he's trying to say.

Like Bob said, who bought who is debatable but they all should be held accountable good or bad.

So all the duff signings are down to the committee , so why did Rodgers tell us the buck stops with him & why did he sign a new contract if he did not agree with the committee .Because once he signs a contract he becomes immune from the sack , and becomes a multi-millionaire . I am not sure if they have the same rules in baseball re: managers .But I am certain FSG are looking at ways to get round this even if it means doing away with the title manager . Do not forget in there short time as owners they have made 2 unsuccessful managers multi millionaires ie Hodgson & Dalglish , Rodgers would be the 3rd .

Rodgers is part of the committee mate. Well that's what we as fans were led to believe.

all of this has been done ad nauseam previously in this thread. personally i'm not interested in going over it all again in words of one syllable for the simple twins here.

nobody mentioned brendan rodgers in relation to this firmino deal apart from you pair of pillocks. brendan rodgers is on holiday. ian ayre remains a bellend who may have played a blinder in getting firmino to sign. even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. except perhaps for you pair.

looking that way i think isn't it? particularly after southampton signed a new right-back.

there seems to be some genuine interest in kovacic at inter as well. but i still think we need goals. a proper out and out goalscoring striker because sadly we can't rely on sturridge's fitness holding up. the lad carlos bacca that we've been linked to looks interesting, i'd be well happy with him. think that clyne, a striker plus what we've already signed and that'd be it really. then it's about who we can/need to ship out - starting with borini, balotelli and lambert.

Just reading that Rodgers is only due back off holiday 6th July . That could mean he has had nothing to do with our recent signings . This got me to thinking Fsg cannot sack a manager without having to payup his contract . This for me is the only reason they did not sack him after the humiliating defeat at Stoke . So what can they do , tell him not to speak to media , not involve him in the running of the club at all so he does the honourable thing & resigns his post without compensation . Now he has gone what do they do ; do we really need a manager on a huge salary that you cannot sack . Or do we get a DOF & top quality coaches to work with the team on the training ground . Would not surprise me at all if this is the way John Henry is thinking .

Did you ever stop to think that the reason he's still incumbent is they couldn't replace him with a suitable candidate!! Its a massive over simplification to suggest a sacking because of a embarrassing defeat.

That kovacic lad would be another huge step in the right direction. Couldnt agree more on needing an out n out goalscorer, not seen much of Bacca but I know he had a really good last season. Links to that Rondon aswell but he looks to be a bit of a target man.

alfie, you need to take a breather mate. those two statements aren't mutually exclusive. it's possible to think ian ayre is a berk and the transfer committee is a bad system while at the same time being pleased that they between them - and almost certainly with some input from brendan rodgers - have done well to get firmino in.

and five ROFLs at your own post is genuinely worrying. go outside and have a walk mate. smell the bees and watch the flowers or something.

[BangrakBob]

It is starting to appear that the shrouded Committee and FSG policy makers have had a bit of sit down and changed up the strategy for this summer. I for one will live happily with egg on my face and hold my hand up if they prove to get it right this summer. Furthermore, it will leave our Brendan with nowhere to go but up, he'll have no excuse.

As a side note i've enjoyed the entertainment in here today, cheers

@OptaJoe

115 – Nathaniel Clyne made more tackles than any other defender in the Premier League last season (115). Coveted.

given our defending last season that's obviously a step in the right direction. our needs are pretty clear this summer - sign players who score lots more goals and sign a couple of players who can help us concede fewer.
