Missing targets on the field and now off - Ayre and Rodgers are a laughing stock

[Nathanzx]

we missed out on sigurdsson

 

FSG talked up this whole new revolutionary management structure - and then caved, so it's Rodgers and Ayre

 

Rodgers - who seems to be focusing on the miniscule pool of players who have worked with him before

 

and Ayre who has no experience in transfer negotiations and boy is it showing

 

ok so the sigurdsson miss is one thing, we didn't want to offer wages to compete with spurs (if we rate the lad why not?)

 

I can understand one eff-up

 

but now all the talk over the last week was tello and sahin on loan, tello and sahin, tello and sahin, liverpool hopeful of securing both deals.....

 

and what happend - we more than likely miss both, so that is three big misses in one window for us, an amazing record considering we were so sure we were going to bag all three

 

on top of all that we have failed to offload guys like cole, adam and carroll, on top of that we have had to pay many of the players we have offloaded to guy and received a sum total of 1 million in transfer fees for 5 players

 

the world of football have us marked down as a laughing-stock when it comes to the transfer-market and for another transfer window we have proven them right

 

our latest tactic seems to be to hang Dempsey out to dry in the hope of getting a few million off the fee if we even do go for him

 

so it looks like it will be borini, allen, assaidi, dempsey and de vries

 

look at those five names again, be honest with yourself, that is nowhere near good enough to make up the gap on the top four

 

oh and question marks still surround Agger

 

 

the Sahin transfer was a monumental moment in the ayre/rodgers/fsg axis and they failed and because they failed the club will suffer

 

as long as fail to secure players like Sahin we will get nowhere, the players purchased are not good enough, I am tired of excuses - these guys aren't doing a good enough job for the club and a 3 million Moroccan winger from a midtable Dutch club ain't going to paper over the massive cracks

[Charles Penrose]

Have I missed the bit where Sahin has signed for Arsenal then? He may well do. Your post is a shit one whether that happens or not though. You crimson twat.

[The Golden Eel]

It's all Rodgers fault.

[stringvest]

What time is the march?

[lamai]

mong

[ngogswilly]

Nobody knows anything yet.

 

And I guarantee you if we miss out on players like Sahin its got nothing to do with Rodgers or Ayre. Its purely to do with being nowhere near the Champions League.

[dave u]

Fucking hell.

[Brownie]

Mental.

[Timão]

Do fuck off!

we missed out on sigurdsson

 

No we didn't, we chose not to pay him a ludicrous amount more than we originally offered.

 

FSG talked up this whole new revolutionary management structure - and then caved, so it's Rodgers and Ayre

 

Who said it was revolutionary? They wanted a DoF, Rodgers wouldn't work with one, so they made a choice. Not sure why changing your mind is a bad thing?

 

Rodgers - who seems to be focusing on the miniscule pool of players who have worked with him before

 

Like Assaidi. And Sahin. And Callejón. And Dempsey.

 

What's negative about wanting to work with players you know, even if it was true. Which it clearly isn't.

 

and Ayre who has no experience in transfer negotiations and boy is it showing

 

Yep, we need a CEO with footballing experience. Ayre can stay on as MD, and handle all the sponsorship stuff. He seems capable of that, but for fuck sakes get him out of the public eye and off the site.

 

ok so the sigurdsson miss is one thing, we didn't want to offer wages to compete with spurs (if we rate the lad why not?)

 

Because Rodgers didn't want to spend that money on him?

If Tello was a target, what's the problem with him choosing to stay at Barca? If Sahin ends up choosing Arsenal, what can we do about it?

 

on top of all that we have failed to offload guys like cole, adam and carroll, on top of that we have had to pay many of the players we have offloaded to guy and received a sum total of 1 million in transfer fees for 5 players

 

Well, paying loads of money for average players has more than one downside, and one of them is not being able to shift them on. When you pay massive wages over a 5 year contract, why would they want to leave and earn less? The problem hasn't been shifting them on, it was buying them in the first place, but I bet you wouldn't have liked it if FSG had pulled the plug on Kenny's signing.

 

the world of football have us marked down as a laughing-stock when it comes to the transfer-market and for another transfer window we have proven them right

 

I've very happy with our dealing so far, and the window isn't closed yet. We've got good players in for reasonable money, and at more sensible wages.

 

our latest tactic seems to be to hang Dempsey out to dry in the hope of getting a few million off the fee if we even do go for him

 

so it looks like it will be borini, allen, assaidi, dempsey and de vries

Bollocks.

 

oh and question marks still surround Agger

 

 

the Sahin transfer was a monumental moment in the ayre/rodgers/fsg axis and they failed and because they failed the club will suffer

 

In what way did they fail? He has chosen to go anywhere, and if he does choose to go to Arsenal, it's hardly our fault is it? I want the guy as much, probably more, than anybody here. But if he makes the call, there's little to blame people for.

 

as long as fail to secure players like Sahin we will get nowhere, the players purchased are not good enough, I am tired of excuses - these guys aren't doing a good enough job for the club and a 3 million Moroccan winger from a midtable Dutch club ain't going to paper over the massive cracks

 

You're on crack.

How are them Red Sox doing?

Irrelevant.

[Trumo]

For goodness sake, will somebody do the honours and put this hysterical fuckwit out of his misery please.

[The Golden Eel]

That didn't deserve a proper response.

[Teflon Don]

"Missing targets on the field"???? We've only played (and won) 2 Europa League qualifiers so far.

[Coro]

'Oh, but they changed their minds.' haha

 

Fuck off, Rain man.

 

Just as an aside, to anyone who isn't a slag for FSG how are them Red Sox doing?

[Geraghty]

It's that Chang

[Red Lead]

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

OMIGOD WERE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!

I just wanted to let you know that you typed 'haha' into the internet.

 

The funny thing is, he articulates his grievances better than you. I bet you agree with the mental cunt on everything.

[TheHowieLama]

Fuckin Red Sox - this season they have had their players miss 41% of the games, like some kind of shit record - almost makes me feel bad for them, except they suck and I hate em.

[Randy Marsh]

mong.

Think of us under Woy. Generally appalling results and performances interspersed with a few wins here and there, but way way off a wild card spot for the play offs. The Woy analogy seems very accurate. The coach Bobby Valentine and his ideas are rooted in the past and he has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth every time he speaks. FSG pretty much did what Liverpool did in the summer of 2010 and replaced a much more talented and savvy (if less outspoken than Rafa) coach with someone who was supposedly put in place to steady the ship. That person has done anything but, getting rid of a key player (Youkilis) and causing other important players to re-evaluate their situations (Pedroia and Ellsbury).

That clubhouse quit on Francona and now have quit on Valentine - bunch of shithouse cunts to a man.

[ZonkoVille77]

Fair play Hank. More patience than the rest of us.

I've realised that I've been wrong for years. The majority of our fans these days are clueless cunts and I'm not defending them anymore.

 

What a complete and utter cunt of a post.
