Five players to be shown the door this summer

[aRdja]

No thanks. Obviously negged for saying 'lol' like a 15 year old American teenager.

Allen is like our Milner. Except he cant play wide.

 

And he doesn't score any goals. Or get any assists.

 

Is there a point to this?

 

Oh I see, goals are all that matter, is it?

 

Right. So let's buy 12 strikers in the summer.  That will work.

[aRdja]

I'm guessing, get Milner, sell Allen?

[TheHowieLama]

There is.

[Dr. J]

So if Balotelli, Borini, Aspas and Lambert are all sold, that would leave us with porcelain Sturridge and a completely unproven Origi. Sound?

 

Might as well hand Sterling a blank cheque in the process as I can't see us coming up with the cash to buy a proven striker.

[Bjornebye]

I'm not convinced Skrtel is guaranteed safety. He has done well the last two seasons but he has had some fucking shockers as well. I'd like Sakho next to someone more dependable. Fuck knows who.

[ZonkoVille77]

we're fuckin shite

[Bobby Hundreds]

Id sell the lot of them... To isis.

[TheHowieLama]

To whose sis?

[Jairzinho]

I think Skrtel may take the decision out of our hands. He's one of our best players and, frankly, could be playing for a better team than us.

So should he be in a thread titled"Five players to show us the door this summer"?

Sadly true. Not making him captain was a bit of a piss take as well, I thought.

Really?

 

I can't recall him making too many mistakes this season and seem to remember a few epic performances (Chelsea in CC springs to mind).

 

He seems to have laid off the pulling and dragging at corners too.

 

My biggest issue with Skrtel is that he didn't pick a different Manchester United player to stand on.

good idea for another thread that

[RoboRiise]

The only ones I'd lose sleep over losing would be Coutinho, Sakho, Ibe, Sterling, Sturridge.  Though if we got obscene offer/s for the latter two I'd sell them.

 

I wouldn't shed a single tear if Sturridge went simply because he's managed to appear in 18 games out of 52 this season.  We're paying a year's wages for about 10 weeks work.  When he's fit and firing on all cylinders he's a great asset to have but we just can't afford to be doing that; we need the money on the pitch not in the physio room.

[Jairzinho]

Sadly true. Not making him captain was a bit of a piss take as well, I thought.

 

Yeah, same.

 

One of our best players, and has been here longer than anyone else bar Lucas (only six months in it). I'd probably have Lucas as vice captain. Experienced, not a complete shithouse, more consistent than most of our players. Although I'd be fine with Sakho.

 

Captains and vice captains don't have to be great players, although Gerrard and Hyypia obviously were, but they do need to be strong characters. Of which we have very few.

 

I hate to think that stronger characters have been shown the door partly for that very reason and/or the vestiges of a previous manager/s done away with, but I can't help but think it is true to some extent.

Do you mean Agger?

[Section_31]

Id sell the lot of them... To isis.

 

Nah, we'd pay too much for the ransom. 

[Jairzinho]

Do you mean Agger?

 

I wasn't really thinking of any one individual. Just thinking of the character of the squad we're left with now compared to the one he inherited.

 

The likes of Kuyt, Maxi, Bellamy, Reina, and Agger.

It's part of a levelling down process isn't it?

 

FSG appoints CEO with less experience, the CEO appoints a manager with less experience , the manager retains players with less experience.

 

Excellence has gone out of the window, comfortable management is in through the door.

I guess so. 

 

Rooting out anyone that would think "Hang on, this is shit".

[liverpoolsno9]

Don't know why anyone would want to get rid of joe Allen. We're already very light in midfield and he's a capable squad player at the least. Can't really be blame for 'never turning a game on his own'

I'd keep hold of Luis Enrique as well, always liked that fella

 

Seriously? You'd keep hold of Enrique? I'd personally keep hold of him, some may call it restrain, so he can never enter Anfield again. One of the most Useless, brainless, thickest footballers I've ever seen.

[Cardie]

If we're playing with three men in midfield next season neither Allen or Lucas should leave.

 

[Kevin D]

Most of those players should consider themselves lucky I don't hang them for treason.

[Moo]

Lallana can fuck off if we can get back anywhere near £15m for him, shocking signing and I can't stand to look at his stupid face, shit run, and lightweight shoulders any longer.
