Joao Carlos Teixeira

What the fuck has Rafa Benitez got to do with this thread?

 

You're not from round these parts, are you?

[Sebastien Haff]

Whoooosh....

 

Did I miss something? Was it meant to be some kind of hilarious comment?

[manwiththestick]

It was irony I think. You see Code is the king of taking threads off course with his Rafa ranting, so the fact he's moaning about this one going off topic is rather amusing.

[Hand Shandy]

Bingo.

[kalasoma]

Ouch. The 'new' El Zhar? Really? I haven't seen enough of the boy to hang that millstone around his neck just yet.

Has he really been here since 2012?

 

Fuck me bandy!

[stringvest]

he's ok, but I'm not sure he'd cut it in the PL.

He's a year older than Emre Can.

[alles ist gut]

He's old enough to remember when the Saturdays were in S Club Juniors

[Mil-ing Around]

Give him games and minutes, surrounded by better players, and he would end up being more productive than Lallana

he'll get his chance if he works for it in training.

That doesn't necessarily make him good enough.

I didn't realise he was 23. He's 2 months older than Paul Pogba! To be more productive than Lallana isn't much of an ask though is it really? Fuck knows. The odds are against him making it aren't they? I thought Suso looked the part at one point and his career didn't exactly go as planned. If he can't break into the team this season with a massive injury list and the biggest gang of shithouses ever to wear the shirt ahead of him then unfortunately there's nothing down for him.

[Iceman]

I like him and I think he should be featuring for us. 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

If he was anything near good enough he'd have gotten his chances long ago.

[Iceman]

I'd really like to believe that. 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

I'd really like to believe that.

Mistakes are made by managers and coaches every day, and our former regime made more than their fair share. But Texeira has been around so long, including a long loan spell, if he was the real thing it wouldn't had gone unnoticed. If the problem was he didn't get the chances he deserved here, someone else would've grabbed him.

 

What his potential was when he arrived, how our ability to develop him have been, and how big a part his injuries have played, that's another question.

[bonesman]

Being jogged on, Jurgen says he needs regular football at this stage of his developement and he's not going to get it here.

[Baltar]

He's another Suso. Good player who may yet become very good but won't happen at Liverpool. Best for all parties if we move him on this summer.

[Red Phoenix]

That's sad, think I'm going to stop liking younger foreign players coming through for us because they usually end up just leaving.

 

One thing I'd have liked Klopp to have said, if he was being so honest, was exactly what the problem with him is. Not strong enough? Too slow? If he'd just mentioned what it was he needed to develop that would've been cool.

[magicrat]

Skillful lad but I question whether he is a bit lightweight for the PL

[TheHowieLama]

move on to the next Teixeira

[an tha]

If he was the business surely by 23 we would know.
