We shouldn't have sold Suarez

[Rosco]

I'm well aware he would have only played one game this season for us so he wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference to how our season has gone.

But if we didn't sell him we wouldn't have been able to sign all the players that have worsened the team all round.

Imagine how bad we'd be if Rodgers hadn't bought the Premiership proven Lallana, Lambert, Lovren , Balotelli ? Them not needing to settle has been our saviour.

Wanquillo and Moren-....oh - can't defend for toffee. It's no wonder our defence looks shit, we play with two defenders every game.

Markovic ? nothing but hype so far.

Rodgers has had lots of money. This is his team. And it's shite. And as he said himself about Spurs :
"If you spend £100m you should be winning the league."

Some of us did warn the forum last season was a one off, a number of things were in our favour that wouldn't be this season. I did expect some regression regardless of who we signed or sold but 15 points in eleven games is absolutely dreadful.

It won't be long before Rodgers will come under pressure to prove himself worthy of the new contract.

In case you didn't get the memo, Suarez wanted to leave desperately.

We didn't have much of a choice.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

And Brendan is already under pressure.

Tom Werner watching a training session is unprecedented amongst club chairmans.

 

[Frogfish]

Fucking waste of space. Can a Mod delete this thread before Ross gets the bashing he deserves for starting it ?

*lets all ignore his buyout clause shall we*

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

oh shit..rosco has not posted for so long, i had forgotten his trollish traps.

i guess i fell for it, when i actually thought he was being serious with this thread.

 

[Rosco]

Do people only read thread titles and just imagine the rest ?

 

[cloggypop]

Good job we play better without him.

 

[the count]

While I wish we didn't have to sell Suarez I will reserve judgement on whether this season is entirely shit due to his absence until Sturridge is back and up to speed.
Without him we are totally toothless up front and it reminds me of how we played at the start of Rodgers first season in charge

 

[Rosco]

Exactly we've reverted to being all possession and no threat.

but now with added fancy continental attacking full backs

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

People are missing Rosco's point here.
The money was not spent well. And he's right. It wasn't.

 

[Modo]

Ok so this thread is about how poor our signings have been. Point taken, processed and filed under "tell me something I don't know".

 

[Athens]

Are you Mr. John in disguise?

if we had won he league maybe he would have stayed

 

[Modo]

if we had won he league maybe he would have stayed

Would have given him an even bigger incentive to leave.
Would have been, "job done".

You should rename this thread "Sack Brendan Rogers", because that's what you're thinking! You're saying he's misspent £100m, and in any other industry he would be fired!

Managers don't make a difference.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Can looks quality that's about it for me.
So finally realizing the error of your ways regarding Suarez Ross?

 

[mom]

Shit players or a manager who can't get the best out of them at present? Someone referred to us as the new Spurs at the start of the season. I laughed at the time...

 

[tony]

Great to have you back Rosco - but you would have sold Suarez for £25 mil 3 seasons ago if it was up to you!

Agree with you about the summer signings though, an utter clusterfuck that will take years to pick apart

 

[Jack D Rips]

And we have 14 points

 

[Farkmaster]

The first horseman of the Rodgers apocalypse has showed up, as I foretold.

 

[Glock21]

This season is a disaster! i'd sign Suarez back next summer and sell all the shit Rodgers signed this summer.

 

[keniget]

Ah good. Just what everyone is in the mood for.

 

[Athens]

I'm taking this as a sign that I should brave the thunder and lightening and head out for a few pints to watch the rugby.

 

[jimmy]

Rosco seeing the light re Suarez!

I wish he'd stay but unfortunately he wanted to leave.

It's a bit unfair to criticize the team which is practially playing without a single adequate forward. We had two super strikers last year who scored 52 goals between them. We have now 3 strikers who scored ZERO league goals between them in 11 games this seadon. That's quite a difference.
Last season our pkayers new that they had to pass the ball in the general direction of Suarez or Sturridge and a goal was on the cards. This season you have to put the ball exactly on Balotelli's or Lambert's foot, yet no goal...

Ignoring this major difference and saying that the new signings have worsened our team is not really fair nor is it well thought.


As for the new signings (since people seem to be writing all of them off):
Balotelly - we should have never signed this guy.
Lambert - not good enough.
Lovren and Lallana - I exoected more of these too, but I haven't given up yet.
The other 4 are all young promising players coming to a new demanding league, so writing them off so early is way too harsh.

 

[mark1975]

What does it matter? We're better off with Sturridge anyway.

 

[Modo]

Watching Southampton....Jesus.
@Mystic have you already decided on a charity?

 

[Modo]

btw two assists by Louie today
