Should Glen Johnson get a new contract?

[ratcatcher]

Read what I wrote again Mr Rat. You are not on the cheese. 

 

You are still missing the point you are trying to make, which proves why my idea is a bad one. It's not a bad idea. Just different to what you are used to .

 

I think you're on the blob.

 

Stupid idea that failed at Ebbsfleet. Thank fuck people like you will never be in charge.

[Jairzinho]

Also, it's not as if the current transfer committee is compiled of proven winners with decades of experience in the game is. We're not talking about replacing Bob Paisley or Arsene Wenger. It's Ayre, Rodgers, and a pair of computer gimps now isn't it?

[Iceman]

Twatscratcher you have no point. You compare our great club to Ebbsfleet? Nonsensical. 

[bossy]

Any who. Johnson's shit, I'm sick of him turning back and facing the wrong way and getting the ball stuck under his feet. And all the other poo things he does.

[Iceman]

So, having a membership only supporters group of several million to crowdsource and raise hundreds of millions in funds for new players, to be given to the manager to play as he pleases, is a stupid idea? Yet no one can actually tell me why it won't work? 

[Jairzinho]

It failed at Ebbsfleet because membership numbers dwindled. Membership numbers dwindled because most of the members didn't actually support the club.

[ratcatcher]

Twatscratcher you have no point. You compare our great club to Ebbsfleet? Nonsensical. 

 

No. I compared your suggestion of an ebbsfleet model for a club of the stature of Liverpool as being nonsensical.

 

Im all for fan membership. The club already offers that and guess what, you can actually apply for and get tickets via that membership. But fans picking which players the clubs sign? Ludicrous.

 

It doesnt matter whether you have a manager or a head coach, you wont get anyone of benitez's standing coming to Liverpool if  they dont get the say on players.

 

But you (and a few acolytes) carry on with your quest. When you getting your campaign up and running instead of talking about it on a forum?

Benitez would do this job if he had the budget for the Blue Peter garden so don't talk shite. 

[ratcatcher]

Yeah, sure he would. And what's he going to have a budget for if fans pick the players?

 

So, when are you going to stop talking about it on a forum and actually do something about it? Or are you just going to talk about it and expect someone else to do it?

[Iceman]

Never. I'm going to keep talking about it incessantly because I know it annoys you now. My non-action in regards to this project will be a symbol of my defiance. 

[ratcatcher]

Nope. Doesnt annoy me one jot. Sorry to disappoint you and all that. I just had an hour or so to waste.

[Iceman]

Genie's out of the bottle now twatscratcher. You can't stop us all. 

[xerxes]

He went to Chelsea and Milan on that basis

I answered that the last page but you chose not to respond, there are a lot of fans who know fuck all about judging a player so having them in control of making football decisions would not work.

 

Most on this forum where happy to get Lovren, Balotelli and Lambert in the summer so its not like even fans with knowledge get it right all the time.

 

Having football people who work and make a living in the game is clearly the more sensible route and that is why every club in the world does it that way.

You've just made that up.

[JermainePennant]

You've just made that up.

 

I remember Brigant being one of the lone voices against signing Lovren, I was one of the few against Lambert and when the question was posed towards the end of the window of whether to get Balotelli or noone a lot were happy to take the gamble.

[Jairzinho]

Well, firstly, I dispute your recollection. But even if taken as correct, you're looking at each transfer in isolation, then of course with the added faith born out of nothing but hope. "We've signed the cunt, we might as well pretend he's good now". It isn't really fair to judge the fans opinion as you are. For example, the vast majority of fans will have prioritised a striker, rather than waiting until the end of the window and being left with Balotelli or nothing.

 

With Lambert, many were happy for him to be 4th, maybe at a push 3rd, choice. Because they expected a player perhaps not on Suarez' level, but at Sturridge's, to be signed. 

 

Most fans would have prioritised a DM. Likewise a new keeper, or at the very least someone to provide Mignolet with some competition.

The one who got the most abuse during the summer was Lallana if i remember correctly. Goes to show first impressions aren't always the best indicator.

Abuse? Most? Lallana? Fucking hell. Average Adam is the best thing since sliced bread according to this Summer's posts.

Hardly, most were against the fee (including myself) and thought we were getting shafted by Southampton. There was a common consensus to spend the money on a foreign player rather than pay the english tax. He's turned out to be a good player though, which is the point.

I think you'll find your wrong as usual.

[magicrat]

Wanting Balotelli as a replacement for Suarez. You couldn't make it up

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I think people confuse rating a player with trying to find the positives in transfers that seem inevitable.

 

Lovren in particular was begrudgingly justified because it was clear that Rodgers saw him as the key to sorting out our leaking defence. Take out the context of who the manager rates, and I doubt the outlook on certain transfers would ever look so supportive.

Fair point but looking at the Lovren thing in particular it took forever to do the deal and was discussed ad nauseam. Im sure by the the consensus was he was way too expensive and not the answer, Starting with the keeper was surely the way to go
