Nottingham forest loan offer for texiera (excuse the spelling)

21 Aug 2015 10:02:59
I don't think we can afford to loan out all these young players and expect them to want to stay with Liverpool. Suso was a prime example of this. Rodgers needs to use the pool of good young talent from our academy and stop spending millions.

Boy needs game time

I feel sorry for the lad - done plenty good enough to get a shot in the side but instead we've got Coutinho, Llalana, Firmino and probably even Markovic likely to get a shot at the no.10 role ahead of him.

We have way too many attacking midfielders and not enough defensive midfielders IMO - we really should have bought someone like Carvalho, Bender, Schneiderlin or Kongdogbia over Llalana or Markovic (even though I think they're both great talents and really want them to do well)

I'd rather teixiera than lallana, either way they will be subs, I'd prefer one with potential and as much as I like lallana, it's as good as he's going to be

Fencey I hope Rodgers shares your thoughts, I really don't know why BR doesn't trust him. I would throw him in against Arsenal. Lallana is too predictable so everything will go through Coutinho, who will be a heavily marked man on Monday. Having Teixeira on the pitch would ensure that we will still create chances and he looks like he always has a goal in him.

Mignolet - Gomez, Lovren, Skrtel, Clyne - Can, Teixeira, Milner - Ibe, Coutinho - Benteke
we can't go to arsenal with anything less than a 3 in the middle.

have Ings, Firmino, Lallana, Rossiter/Lucas, Moreno, Toure, Bogdan on the bench then all area's are well covered.

Eds is it true sakho is being offered a new deal?

{Ed001's Note - a new deal was being discussed in the summer, which he was happy to sign at the time, before things got difficult.}

So really, he hasn't been unhappy ever since early last season. Rodgers still seems to see him in his plans.

{Ed001's Note - there were issues, which looked like they had been resolved until he realised promises made to him were not being kept. Which is why the deal is unsigned and he looked to leave. Impossible to say what will happen as it comes down to a personal choice. Let's be honest though, if you were him and knowing you are unlikely to get a game no matter how bad the pair ahead of you play, would you not be upset and unhappy?}

I'd get over it for £100k p/w

Just more eveidence that Rodgers is nothing but a liar. Wish he would go.

21 Aug 2015 10:11:05
I'd be pissed off too. What I was saying was that some people imply he was continually pissed off from minute one of last season, all the way until now. Obviously along the way, things were 'patched up', but things have now unravelled again.

If Rodgers doesn't rate him then why isn't he selling him? Because he wants depth? If he wants depth then it makes you ask why he doesn't just give Ilori some more hope.

If either Lovren or Skrtel start to underperform, it's hard to decide what to do. Do you just give Sakho another chance, or do you wait it out for a bit and see if Lovren and Skrtel can iron out all the creases and eventually improve/gel as a pairing?

{Ed001's Note - Rodgers is willing to sell him but the club asked too much.}

If you want to regularly play for your country, it's game time, not wages that get you there! Sakho is a genuine starter for me, but he has a manager that thinks Skrtel is the first name on the team sheet, so can see why he's worried!

21 Aug 2015 20:35:42
Our transfer dealings in and out are a joke. If it was my business there would be plenty of people for the bullet. Total waste of money. Other clubs must laugh at our activity.

22 Aug 2015 18:00:15
Spot on, Irish! It also doesn't help when owners aren't too bothered and a manager who is out of hi depth in this area and seems to make it up as he goes along.

23 Aug 2015 15:57:23
I'm not defending BR at all, but in regards to Sakho, he should in no way be a guarenteed starter. He is like Bambi on ice and he should earn his spot back. Right now we have conceded nothing, thus should continue to wait.

24 Aug 2015 16:05:54
Carl, that would be understandable if it was an honest competition for places in the team. This is not the case here. BR is not honest at all because by your judgement, Skrtel should not b a guaranteed starter as well. BR has his favs and if you are not one of them, you are toast. Sahko has shown that he is better than bot cbs and the numbers are there to prove it last season. So why isn't he playing? It's not because the others are better because that is just a farce. It is because BR never rated him, bought Lovren to replace him and has been trying yo sell him since last season YET he is the one who signed him. How is that fair competition for places in the team?
