re: OFFICIAL Liverpool FC 2014-2015 Season Long Thread

At least he made fairly good pushes into or towards the box this year when he did play. Bad enough that I wish he hadn't gotten the opportunity to make those pushes though.

By Tuesday we'll be linked with 10 more managers whose reps were spotted in Liverpool inking deals.

European papers (especially British) are notorious for the most absurd rumors 98% of the time with zero truth behind them. If it sounds too good to be true, it prolly is.

James Pearce of the echo, Tony Barrett of the Times, Ben Smith from BBC are some of the true Liverpool insiders

There's some more across Europe that are a bit more reliable, but if you haven't followed much transfer news, just remember to take everything with a grain of salt. Even reliable journalists get some wrong and things can change very quickly

Don't take anything as truth unless sky says its legit

Transfer windows are hella fun. Like recruiting on steroids. But you'd go crazy and get burnt out super quick if you out much stock into every tabloid's rumor mill. That's just to sell papers

If we do keep Rodgers and this committee, and we sell Sterling, we'll have handed two of our biggest three windows (if not the biggest two) to a group of people with a questionable, at best, transfer record.

Given the spending discrepancy between us and the bigger clubs, we can't piss away a second opportunity if it comes our way.

I feel like there are a dozen things I learned this year that Rodgers failed to learn. Easy things, like Can not being able top play RB. Things a manager should notice in one half and not continue making the same mistake over and over.

I have a feeling he stays because its true to the project and FSG may not be willing to scrap it entirely. But I also think that FSG will change up something - they can't just sit still on this.

Eduardo Salvio is a fine little player, but if we pay the price being thrown around for him.. I'm going to lose my shite..

The rumors are if the old lady wins Champions League, they'll offload Tevez and Pirlo to Liverpool.

If we're still under Rodgers, I would think it would be a horrible idea. I think Pirlo would be harder to protect in the EPL, especially on a side like Rodgers where the defense and positioning is so fundamentally poor.

And the last thing we need is another talented, but sulky forward who we never know if we'll get effort out of day to day.

All due respect to Pirlo... but that would be a disaster IMO...

I'm sure he still has something to add to a top side, that can cover his weaknesses and use him in the right situations... but I'm afraid we would just exploit all his weaknesses in this current team...
