Folks Damien C is on talkshite at 12pm today and apparently this time the shackles are off
listen in
Commoli said that liverpool made 5 contract offers to tom ince and he turned them all down. he didn't feel that liverpool's style wouldn't suit him. Didn't like uncle woys style at all so he left. he would have been on a very high wage if he had signed but wasn't about money but playing time and style. So he said that we never just let him go, he wanted to leave and they tried everything to get him to sign a new deal.
saying downing created as many goal chances as he did in his last season at Villa but Darren Bent put them in
Stats back it up
its not just about stats though. what about your mentality? there are many players that look good on stats, like darren bent, but doesn't mean he's good enough for liverpool fc.saying downing created as many goal chances as he did in his last season at Villa but Darren Bent put them in

So it was all AC's fault.

i think he left after the half season of kenny didn't he? kenny and commoli tried persuading him to stay, but he didn't feel like he was going to get much first team opportunities, and didn't like our playing style apparently. But his mind was pretty made up during uncle woy. i swear thats what he said.I'm a bit confused - this was Ince not liking Hodgson's style? But didn't he only leave the following summer?
downing only put in one or two decent crosses a match at best, the rest were shite.He certainly didn't help matters because I remember watching Carroll failing to attack crosses put in by Downing and found myself ranting about him being a lazy shite. By the time Carroll improved at the end of the season it was far too late to save Downing's season or reputation for assists.
My scientifc method for judging players valued at 15-20M plus is what other top clubs are in for that player? When it came to Donging, there was no one. When it came to AC, apprantly there was Spurs who stopped bidding at 20M.
Who else is in for Sturridge?
Who else was in for Suarez?
Or Xabi?
Xabi was a dead cert for Real but the deal broke down, again Xabi said as much.
As for AC and Donging, then pretty much no one, which begs the question why the fek did we pay so much for players who apparantly wanted to leave their respective clubs.
I'm just curious as to whether no other club is in for Sturridge.
Suarez, Chelsea and Juve were interested.
Torress - Utd had made a number of bids over the years, AF said as much, adding 'he wouldn't come and also saying '"you'd be surprised how quick he was"
.
Did alright buying Rooney for more or less same price.
