Pirlo Anyone ?

[Insignificance]

Can we swap Pirlo for Allen??? They need a Xavi in their team!!!

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I'd say signing a 36 year old would be a measure of our ambitions.

What age was Gary Mac when we signed him?

 

[gkmacca]

36, I think. Considerably more athletic and mobile than Pirlo, of course, but Pirlo has the same nous that the team so painfully lacks.

 

[Squiggles]

Could be fantastic business. The work-rate of Henderson and Milner would make up for any lack of mobility Pirlo had.

From what I've seen of him he would be fantastic in our team. but I doubt it matters we would never get him.

 

[gkmacca]

Obviously in an ideal world it wouldn't be an option, but here and now we desperately need brains, craftiness and good judgement. The only time when this bunch of players looks good is when they play at the peak of their pace. When the pace slows, they just look laboured, predictable and bereft of ideas. In that context, Pirlo would at least bring some wit to this team, a cool prudence that would teach the rest how to control a game when it isn't at breakneck speed. And he's Pirlo.

We have Lambert, is this a step backwards from him?

 

[localny]

Yes, please

 

[jexykrodic]

He's craftier than anything we've got in midfield and could teach the others a thing or two. Imagine lining up with him. Show him the Mont Blanc pen and a big bag of cash.

 

[Best Believe It]

Shame he wasn't around for the Armani suits. If anyone in world football could have pulled that shit off, it would be modern-day Pirlo.

 

[Silver Sean]

Pirlo coming to us? Not likely.

Especially with the latter day Christ look and the gimpy sunglasses. GQ front cover right there.

Liverpool ‘going all-out to seal Andrea Pirlo transfer deal’

Andrea Pirlo is being targeted by Liverpool (Picture: Getty)

Liverpool are going ‘all-out’ to sign Juventus star Andrea Pirlo, according to reports.

The Reds are currently in the process of assessing their squad ahead of the opening of the summer transfer window.

And with a replacement for Steven Gerrard high on the list of priorities, attention has turned to Juve ace Pirlo.

Liverpool are already said to be in talks, and now reports say they’re throwing everything at the 35-year-old to get him signed up.

Brendan Rodgers wants to add the Italian’s significant experience plus wonderful talent, and believes he’d be up for the challenge of playing in the Premier League.

What age was Gary Mac when we signed him?

How many league or champions league titles did we win with him?

 

[Roopy]

Why would we swap Allen for the man they call the Italian Allen?

 

[white-sox]

How many league or champions league titles did we win with him?

Not the league or champions league but contributed to three trophies which I am sure most people would take next year! (oh and champions league qualification.)

I wanted Alonso back for that very reason but hey, Pirlo would do just fine.
The players around him have to be absolutely willing to do the donkey work for him though.

Gary Mcallister. .

There is one player I wished we signed 5 years earlier

 

[6TimesaRed]

I'm not buying this Pirlo deal.. when likely the story originated from @redhorizon2 transfer rumour thread..

If you've ever been to both Italy and Liverpool you know why Pirlo isn't signing for us.

Edit: and if you've never been to Italy keep an eye out on Facebook for me next week.

 

[jexykrodic]

If I was Pirlo and knew you'd be in town next week I'd be considering the skyline of the Albert Dock 😉

 

[Rosco]

No Rosco no Party - Jexykrodic.

 

[keniget]

I'm sure Pirlo can't wait to have his face stroked by the one and only Brendan Rodgers.

It's the one thing missing from his CV. That and the real test for any footballer, the wet and windy Wednesday night away at Stoke.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

So Pirlo's coming here to sit on the bench? Because if we're looking to start him every game we might as well have kept Gerrard.

I think you credit him with much deeper research than the reality.
