Maxi leaves

[Heinze]

Bleh. I hope we bin Downing.

[Alan Sex]

Now we don't have Our Maxi, we may have to resort to using a tampon like Downing.

[Unrighteous]

Bleh. I hope we bin Downing.

 

320+ Crosses. 24% conversion on the Crosses.

87 Quality scoring chances created.

Defensively responsible.

Athletic, and Quick.

 

Good grief.

 

Yes, he needs to add more goals/assists, but when the whole squad is converting only 9% of their scoring chances... what the fuck do you expect?

[Guest ShoePiss]

Wouldn't it be great if Rodgers' system got the very best out of the likes of Downing and Aquilani?

[Robinson]

Shame.We`ve lost a good player who was criminally underused by the last two managers.Some have highlighted the wages,but sometimes you have to see further than that and I´ll leave that to the bean counters who see players as assets and judge them as such.

Hopefully his exit means more time for Sterling - as I cannot see Bellamy playing more than 25 games or Downing surprising us.

[Unrighteous]

He was good for 30 minutes of football before needing to be subbed in any game he's started this last year. People are talking about 'criminally underused'.

 

What a joke.

[Robinson]

The real joke was that some players had 90 min. and were not even "good".

[KopOut]

One or two brains seem to be criminally underused.

 

Thanks Maxi,

 

hasta luego.

[Redder Lurtz]

Sad to see him go. Thanks for the memories Maxi, especially the goals against Chelsea.

[redheart]

So did we get any money for him or did we just release him on a free?

With 72 shots and 0 goals I'd suggest Downing is one of the main reasons that our conversion rate was so low last season.

[Unrighteous]

We were 13% the year before, and the difference is 15 goals. Downing is not the reason our % rate was so low, as Stewart has never accounted for 15 league goals in a single season.

With the money he was on I reckon we would have given him a free just to get him off the wage bill.

Bar a few cunts I'd like to think we'd all love to be proven wrong about certain players wouldn't we...

[kalasoma]

So did we get any money for him or did we just release him on a free?

 

We got him on a free and he was released on a free.

[lifetime fan]

We got him on a free and he was released on a free.

 

 

There is no such thing as a free.

[gumps]

I'm sorry he's decided to leave. Thought he could have fitted into a more passing style of play.

 

Class chant as well.

[Torvald Utne]

There is no such thing as a free.

 

So we didn't let him go for free then?

[lifetime fan]

So we didn't let him go for free then?

 

 

No, we had to pay a larger signing on fee to make up for the transfer fee.

I said one of the main reasons, not the only reason. The 15 goals (minimum) is the difference between playing Maxi, Meireles and Kuyt in 10-11 and Downing, Henderson and Carroll instead last season.

[xerxes]

Has run down the wing for me for the last time.

Maxi scored what... all of his goals in a four game stretch? So did Meireles. We are much better served with them getting 1 goal in a game, and spreading it out, than two hat tricks back to back...

 

Kuyt was definitely poor last season, as well.

[KopOut]

Obviously, our striking was the difference last season hence, Rodgers is overhauling the forwards. Kuyt, Maxi, Carroll (possibly) all gone. Borini in - Shelvey signs long term contract; Pacheco may be in the mix if he's back training and going on the American tour.

 

I'm starting to wonder if Bellamy is actually going anywhere? We'll need SOME experience.

 

Obviously Suarez will just do his own thing, when he gets back from the Olympics, but this tour of Nth America w/o him, might be a bit of an eye opener.

As soon as I heard that Bellamy was on 80,000p/w... I'm pretty sure we're going to move him on.

 

I think he's a great squad player, but not at that price.

Yeah, whopper Maxi, should have done like downing and scored all 0 goals in a 0 game stretch or been pinging crosses to opposition players.
