If i wanted to be harsh, I'd say if Adam played there's a chance we might have scored
I don't think anyone has said that was the case. So what's your point?
How ofthen do cash plus player deals ACTUALLY happen? There is always paper talk of them but they very rarely happen
Well he scored when we won there last year so he's clearly miles better than Joe Allen.
Ah sorry, you're right.
This is what happens when you bring sub-standard footballers to the club on big wages. They know that this is as good as it's ever going to get for them, and they don't want to leave. Can't blame them really.
Doubt it. We're under contract to him as much as the other way round.
In fairness, having watched Gerrard's performance on Saturday, can you really blame him?
thats the problem appears. A few years ago we were losing Masha, Torres, Alonso, when they wanted to leave, but now despite having a shit season last season , none of these fuckers want to leave.
What this also shows though is that we have bought players with the total wrong mentality - not just to fooball but in life generally. Most people correct me if I am wrong - if you like the job you do and its important to you and say where you work the terms and conditions are great and salary is top end of the scale but your not being challenged enough and are kind of really bored and the manager doesn't reate you, and then say you had the option of joining another company where you would be one of the main players and the salary was a few grand less, BUT you got to use your skills in full again, would you not consider that leaving and moving on is better for you ?
If Adam, and Carrol are happy with their condition then the truth of the matter is - these guys don't really like football enough.
No doubt some people will blame him anyway.
That's harsh. Can't be so cut and dried. It's not Adam and Carroll' fault we signed them, gave them a big wages increase, offered them the chance to play for a much bigger Club etc.
Just because they appear to be out of favour at the minute, why should they just pack up and leave after one season at the Club in Adam's case, and a season and a half in Carroll's?
Maybe they look at their competition and fancy forcing their way back into the side? Nothing wrong with that.
Unless they're being unprofessional - becoming a bad influence, not putting in the required effort in training etc then they've every right to stay and wait for their chance if and when it comes.
Gary25 - I don't think I am harsh, West Ham promised to meet his financial needs and even stated that they were willing to build an entire team around Carroll. Adam would be used as on one of the main midfielders if he went to Everton, Stoke or Fullham where he would hopefully cement a full-time spot in midfield. A proffesional sports persons priority should always be motivated to ply his trade full-time and not be on the bench waiting or sit their knowing he is not going to fit into the managers plans and is not wanted. Especially in the case of Carroll who requires regular full-time footy to ensure he reaches peak performance levels.
In short:
"I have no intension of moving my fat arse from Liverpools bench, I know I will get a chance one day - in the meantime I will sit on the bench and munch on Rolo's all day".
-- its very similar to the above - just read a few posts earlier for the quotes which have been picked up by the main newspapers.
Oh right thanks.
Unsurprisingly that makes no sense.
So if you're well paid, happy, etc but not being "challenged" at work - you should swap it all for a lower paid, unhappy but "challenging" position.
Right..... so the mistake we've made is not signing players with severe mental issues then.
I am not saying the salary is hugely lower which in the case of Adam may not be. I am just saying for people that love what they do - its soul destroying to be bored out of your head and not using your skills. In the end it affects your skills overall as you don't apply them regularly. Especially when it comes to fooball.
Quite probably, he looks at who is front of him in the pecking order and thinks he's better. Nothing wrong with that attitude. And, on the weekend's evidence, he's got a point.
LOL.
Indeed, was a cheap dig at all those footballers who label themselves as slaves.
Me want pie ?
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has played down talk that Charlie Adam is heading for the Anfield exit door.
Adam's
future has been the subject of speculation since the arrival of Rodgers on Merseyside this summer.
The Scotland international has been linked with the likes of Everton
and Fulham,
but he revealed last week he was happy to stay with the Reds.
Rodgers insists rumours that the former Blackpool
man is not a part of his plans are wide of the mark and that he is a long-term admirer of the midfielder having once tried to sign him when he was in charge of Reading.
"Charlie was brought in for a lot of money after a terrific time at Blackpool," said Rodgers.
Broken
"Last season was a wee bit broken in terms of injury but he has trained well in pre-season and will play against Hearts.
"He's a talent - everyone knows that - and he played well in the last Scotland game.
"You never forecast anyone's career and all I can talk about is the here and now. At the minute he's working hard and looking to fight for a place.
"I actually tried to buy Charlie when I was manager of Reading so where these stories come from, I don't know."

Please sell him. He's not good enough.
Hahaha, lucky you weren't around back then.
