re: Liverpool FC 2012/13 Season Long Thread

Every interview Brendan does seems to be golden. Love what he says here:

"In professional and social life, I like to get value, that's just my nature and my upbringing. I won't pay anything at all costs. If there is a player who can make a difference, we'll do all we can to get him. What I'm not prepared to do is waste time, money and effort for anyone who won't add value. I prefer the hungry player, one who wants to succeed.

"They will earn good money - and they will get their value and worth if they perform."

Rodgers also insisted the club does not have to look to the big clubs for new signings.

"There's sometimes a snobbery towards players at a lesser club, an ignorance," he added. "If you look at our squad, there aren't too many who have dropped from heaven. A lot have come through lower clubs, made their way and are now making their name at Liverpool.

"The club's history is about hungry players, coming from the lower leagues and working their way up. Talent aligned with hard work takes you a long way. I find it difficult to work with players who don't share and match that."
