Hardly surprising he wants to stay.

We pay him a fortune, he has bugger all competition for places, and he's not required to be any fucking good.

Where's the risk in it for him?

Agger has always been praising the club, the town, the supporters though, and has often expressed his desire to stay at Liverpool for the rest of his career.

The fact he's had a less convincing Season doesn't suddenly make him into the mediocre, money grabbing, couldn't-care-less type of player you're describing.

Fair enough you don't think he's not good enough, that's at least an opinion on his abilities as a footballer, the rest however is just tabloid Ryan rubbish and it's getting boring in the same mould as whenever Modo turns on Carra.

 

[the_khl]

Sad to say but we're in a strange spot these days because anyone saying they want to spend the rest of their career with us makes me want to sell them because they clearly lack ambition.

I have never thought of Carra and Gerrard as players with lack of ambition, their love for the club is just bigger than their desire to win the Prem with Chelsea.

Nothing wrong with that.

Usually when he's out injured.

 

[gkmacca]

Like now? When he's on international duty as captain of his country? Amazing how this con man has duped most of world football into rating him so highly. Only on here, it seems, does his cynical scam get uncovered by the laser-like gaze of the SCM analysts.

 

[Mystic]

I'd like Agger to stay for the rest of his career, we need more players at the club who are part of the furniture, players who know the club inside out, and love it. Carragher will be such a huge miss for that reason.

Agger's certainly part of the furniture all right.

This summer will represent a major challenge in the transfer market. Holding onto Suarez while bringing in top talent would take some doing. Let's not turn into a selling club.

 

[gkmacca]

I wonder how much money FSG are spending on this major overhaul of the women's team? 12 new players signed, the coaching/sports science staff expanded, facilities being improved, wages increased massively? I know in the great scheme of things it probably doesn't amount to that much, but it still seems a strange time to make this a priority. I suppose the commercial appeal of a successful women's team will please Ayre and Co, but when the men's team needs to pinch every penny to improve the squad it puzzles me a bit.

They are playing in their home town and anyway are both years past their best. Agger is about 28 and from some snowy shithole, it's quite different.

Womens football is MASSIVE in the states. I bet they can sell this readily.

And make the money back very quickly.
I'd imagine all the money that's been spent for them haven't amounted to one month's worth of Gerrard's wages.

Wasn't he moaning a few years ago?

Not having a go at him, because he is a decent player. Not a brilliant player but certainly a good one.

He won't be here for the rest of his career though, unless he is panning to retire really early. He will eventually lose his place in the team and want regular football elsewhere.

How many of our players go straight from Liverpool to retirement? Not many. And how many foreign players do so? Even less.

 

[Ryan]

We need a big solid African in midfield. We'd win the league then.

S'a pity Idi Amin snuffed it.

 

[Leo]

Agger do do do shake pineapple shake a tree

I thought I'd watch a bit of their game this evening seeing as it had been hyped up so much. Woeful! Masses of air shots, falling over and toddler-like toe pokes! Henry's going to have to spend a bit more to make this lot look like a serious proposition!

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

And still battered the opponents 5 - 0? The other team fielded, what, 11-year-old girls, literally?

 

[Judge Jules]

Haha. No, we've bought about a dozen top women players (including one straight from the blueslime 😀) all at one go - not that that's a guarantee of success, but we've also brought in one of the top coaches (a bloke incidentally) in the women's game. The owners have really pushed the boat out with this.

That said, macca's absolutely right - the overall standard isn't even on the same planet as top-class men's football. A decent County FA men's side would beat them IMO. I just hope FSG have done their market research.

 

[peterhague]

I just don't know why anyone would bother with women's football at all. What's the point, exactly?

#rumour Liverpool have held informal talks with Alonso's agent about the possibility of bringing him back to Anfield.

McParland said in an interview last week that we would just add quality youth prospects to the Acadamy.

 

[Fabio]

There's an alonso thread if you could Hansern.

Cheers

Always wonder what 'informal' talks means.

Do they talk using street slang or something?

Were our reps wearing shorts and flip flops?

They probably wear striped socks and unbutton their collar

Ian Ayre's "informal talks" collection.

Rush seem to think Williams would be a good addition to the squad

"Seems to" is right. I loved the guy as a player but he's not the sharpest crayon in the box.

Ha, but the slightly frightening thing is that apparently he is one of the 'expert counsel' on whom Werner and Henry rely!

 

[Judge Jules]

Ouch. That's a bit depressing.

 

[Hansern]

Yeah, thats why I mentioned it.
We're also linked with Lovren aswell, that would be a great signing.
