wilai Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I think the problem with Coates is he doesn't suit the high line that Rodgers (and indeed AVB) seem to prefer. He will be a good player for someone but is a little too pedestrian for Rodgers' plans. He (& Skrtel) don't turn quickly (unlike Ilori who is one rumour) and he doesn't appear to be as aggressive as Papadopoulos which is a little strange coming from where he does! (Maybe his gentle Scottish roots have mellowed him? Personally, I wish he'd been given a run in the side which, had KD stayed, he may well have done but it seems he doesn't fit with BR' plans. I wouldn't call it bad management, just different ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieH Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm talking about players from all over the world, such as Coates who you claim " has been badly used and badly managed i think", which i doubt 2 managers have been wrong about ! fair point man, but coates was signed as a lad who'd just been named young player of the tournament in the copa america. we should have thrown him in and got him progressed but we blew it really. wilson was signed as 'stood out in scotland'. which in fairness a fresh vegetable does (sorry jockstar).

YoungBrit Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 "We can definitely be in the top four," Sterling told BBC Sport. The season's only just finished and they've started already Alfie, would you expect anything else from us lot!!! Although I would like to say that if we look at the form table after xmas (coutinho and sturridge signed) and we can have that kind of form throughout the season next year we could be in with an outside shout. I am off to see if I can find a stat on this now....ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Agree, but on this occasion, Dortmund have brought in another Greek guy (and still have Subotic/Hummels) so Santana was probably surplus to requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats more like it!! The thing about Toure is he's a real pro as already said on here, he'll be reliable whenever needed and always a good influence. Same couldn't quite be said about Billy Gallas.

wilai Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Iago Aspas..... According to a Spanish mate, he is like Suarez on speed!!!! I hope the rumour about him is true. Next season will be hilarious watching those two together.Looking like this one is nailed. Announcement on Monday following Celta Vigo's final game. My worry is that he may replace Luis not complement him. Edited May 30, 2013 by wilai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking good but rumoured that we'll ask £50m+ and no bids so far. Probably done already. Just getting the Anfield faithful get prepared. You new signing wouldn't hurt the credibility of this either. I reckon their target was always Suarez or Bale and your mans the better fit at this juncture. Suarez now and Bale same time next year. Its all too appealing to Henry and Werner i'm afraid Edited May 30, 2013 by carmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
