Nuri Sahin

[Code]

I might have inferred it wrong but reading Bascombe's article in the Telegraph it seemed to imply that taking Sahin in on loan wasn't Rodgers' idea. Could have read it wrong though.

 

What article was that?

 

Link?

seems to be a lot of talk about this sort of scenario, assaidi situation is odd too

I see what you are saying, strange really as I had the impression it was Rodgers who pushed for him in the summer.

[INTORRESTING]

interesting,trying to ditch sahin too.

From what I can gather he has found himself pushed back due to the prefrence for Suso and Sterling and perhaps Jonjo to.

 

He looked pretty handy to from what I seen of him.

[James Dean]

I'd have kept him to be honest.

I'd have kept him to be honest.

 

Who, Cole?

[the walsh]

the assaidi thing is weird he looks decent out wide. but come a league game he is nowhere near the squad

[James Dean]

Who, Cole?

 

Sahin.

[TheHowieLama]

Sahzza is not going to work as the third in our midfield and we can't buy him anyway. What is he at this rate 500k a game?

[MLB]

I'd play him against Mansfield. If he can't put in a performance again them then there is absolutely no hope for him here.

[fowler9]

We should let him go unless Brendan can see him playing a big part in the second half of the season, waste of his talents to be on the bench, waste of our money to pay him shitloads to be on the bench

[Jonjo Baldy]

Assaidi situation is really odd, Rodgers got him saying his a player that will really excite the crowd, in the few games his had his played really well and has been exciting, yet he never makes the bench, can't remember the last time I saw him play, he will be off to the ANC soon so most likely we won't even see him play anymore and he'll probably be sold in the summer.

 

Sahin had a good run of 3 games, but seemed to struggle since, think he will be used more in Europa.

[VladimirIlyich]

I think Gerrards done pretty well for a player who is past his best and playing in a supposedly less effective role which is deeper than he should be playing,in most peoples opinion.

 

I'm amazed at the criticism of Gerrard to be honest,if others around him were as 'average' as he has been then we'd certainly be better off points and goals wise.

 

Sahin looks lightweight BUT he does score goals and our midfielders have let us down big time on that score. All of our regular defenders have scored yet our midfielders are reliant on Gerrard to score despite being the deepest sitting at times.

If Allens cameo on Wednesday is a sign of the future then he might pop up with a goal or two in coming games.

This. I think it's a crying shame.

[Dicko]

Ah well.

[ZonkoVille77]

Thank fuck we didn't spunk millions on him. Obviously has the talent but the pace of the league just didn't suit the dude. best of luck Nuri.

Transfer news from @LivEchoLFC - saying Nuri Sahin (on loan @Liverpool from Real Madrid) on brink of returning to Borussia Dortmund on loan @philmcnulty 1 hour ago

[fowler9]

big move for his career even though he is still young, if it doesn't work out back there where he has already been there and done it he'll be looking at a much smaller club next time out having failed to make in impact here and at Real

[zigackly]

Pity he didn't work out, as he seems to genuinely have talent, but for a loan signing to be worthwhile they have to acclimatise quickly to the league, which didn't look like happening in Sahin's case.

[fowler9]

and whilst I was happy about signing him I did think it to be a strange signing at the time as it seemed Brendan had already decided Lucas, Stevie and Allen were his midfield 3 but it does look like he was trying to offload Henderson at the time which has hopefully changed now

[LFC64]

Strange one. Clearly has superb technique and I hoped he would add something our midfield lacks.

Real not happy at his lack of starts but he hasn't been back long from injury so maybe he's kicked off and demanded more starts.

 

Either way it's our loss in the sorth term . On the flip side we were unlikely to sign him anyway after the loan period.

can't see us noticing the loss barring an injury crisis, rightly or wrongly I think he is last choice of all the central players now

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Wasn't given the chance his talent deserves, but I hope we replace him with somebody like Sissoko.

[Johnny Cougar]

Good. Whilst I wish the lad no ill, let somebody else pay for his rehabilitation back into first team football and getting his fitness back for Madrid.

A good footballer but not right for us now.

I bet Arsenal are well pleased they didn't get him on the permanent deal they wanted in the Summer. Bullet dodged for them and 6 months worth of a bullet dodged for us.
