Fuck it i'm going to get behind this. I don't want him to come back at the expense of Raul (who has done the business for us) but if Aqualani comes back fully fit then i'll supoprt it.
I really like and rate him and perhaps he will relish playing under Kennys pass and move tactics.

for me it isn't about aqulini ability as a player but rather who you drop to get him side.
carroll so aqua can play behind suarez?
kuyt so you get aqua, meireles and gerrard in the side?
meireles so you can partner aqua with gerrard?
and that is without adding adam into the equation.

...or Aquilani's own publicly expressed reluctance to come back. Yeah yeah, he signed a contract, he's still our player, we can make him come back yadda yadda yadda, but - whatever his qualities, and there's no doubt the guy is a good player at his best - just how well do those who want him back REALISTICALLY think he'll perform when he badly wants to be elsewhere?

Why are you hypothesising over a player we haven't even bought yet? Aquilani is a Liverpool player.
He deserves to start the season on an equal footing in the managers mind with the rest of the squad.

It's a perfectly fair point for neil to make. Aquilani's made a number of public statements to the effect that he wants to stay at home in Italy, while Kenny very obviously rates Adam and is determined to bring him to the club if at all possible.
Seeing as he might be coming back...
Some of his first time passing in the first vid is very very good.

It all depends though; I'm sure the fanny wants to stay in Italy, but I'm sure he's noticed that no one seems to want him and that we're not prepared to bend over with regards the fee.
So he either kicks up a fuss and gets benched the year before Euros or he comes back bursting with new found love for all things Liverpool.

So what....if he comes back and plays ace who cares what he said. Torres said a lot of shit before he went to chelsea about us being his 'english club' and all that shit! I gave up on holding players to their words after that.....gave up on a lot of shit after that actually.

[/quote]So one public statement to the Juve fans when he signed then?
And a couple of quotes from his agent.
Not really numerous our repeated protestations, and hardly suprising that he didnt say (while in juve) i dont want to stay here.
He has also made AS MANY if not more statements that he will happily return to liverpool.
this one from a couple of months ago:
"The future? I'm at Juve, but I don't know what will happen," he said. "I'm on loan and if I'm not retained I'd go back to Liverpool in the best league in the world. We'll see."
and the one today where HE himself says 'its not true i said i didnt want to return' and that he is looking forward to returning.
I know youve been beating this drum all season and cant stop now, but i dont believe for one second that we would see a dissheartened or dissinterested Aquilani if he returns.
Maybe he would rather be in Italy, Cesc would rather have been in Spain the last 3 years, Ronaldo was premier league player of the year when he had publicly stated he wanted to be in madrid.
Sooooooo.....

Who gives a fuck. He's a classy player, and I can see him fitting in with our new style of play.
I'm looking forward to seeing him link up with Suarez.
[/quote]
If he's willing to play a bit part role and show a good attitude then he might be a pleasant surprise next season.
I'm still a bit meh when it comes to the Italian.

I think Optajoe put on there since august 2009 he has more premier league assists than the best player ever player,Gareth Bale.
I think with a high pressing game he is better than Ming. When he played with Torres and gerrard you could see that he was the only player on their wavelength. Nobody else in our team at the time was even close.
People need to get over the fact he was the replacement for xabi. That left a bad taste in the mouth but he was a totally different player.

Well said. They also need to realise the way he played for the first half of the season wasn't indicative ofnhis true form.
I'd love to see him be given another chance.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd really love Aquilani to be part of our squad next season. Should be played just in front of our two central midfielders in a midfield triangle with Lucas and Gerrard.
There's room for Mata as well, but on the right instead of the "Diggler".
Lucas Gerrard
Aquilani
Mata Suarez
Dirk
= Cum.

Me too, I think people have been far too dismissive of him, when the few times he has played , when fit, in his best position he looked a class act

Dirk is the flavour of the "month". While Carroll was out injured Kuyt was scoring somewhat regularly for us. So he's my first choice right now.
Lucas is our best defensive midfielder, well when Gerrard doesn't feel like it.
