Quite frankly I'd replace all our midfield bar Gerrard and Lucas. -
I had hoped that Rodgers could have managed to squeeze something out of him, but obviously not.
That does have to go down as one of the worst dealings of all time though surely?!
The amount of money we spent on him for the transfer, then for his wages on top. I bet we spent a few million on him per game, and the majority of those were friendlies.Comment

Shelvey yes, Sterling shouldn't be part of the first team yet imo, see him more as a forward too.Originally posted by Doc_antonio View PostComment

I think Rodgers made the situation pretty clear in one of his first interviewsOriginally posted by Camble View Post
He stated that Aquilani had off the field issues and that he would have to discuss them before making any kind of comment regarding his future
Its pretty clear that Aquilani wanted a return to Italy based on thatBob Paisley - "This club has been my life. I'd go out and sweep the street and be proud to do it for Liverpool if they asked me to."Comment

That's no swipe at Rodgers, obviously there were certain factors that meant it wasn't possible.Originally posted by Lecter View Post

No, I just forgot about him in the initial post. I don't think he is ready to be a starter though. The yes was in response to Doc saying keep Shelvey.Originally posted by Rich View PostComment

Phew - that's ok then.Originally posted by Mattshark View Post
I don't think he's ready to be in the first 11 every week but should be given chances to grow into the team.James Philip Milner Fanclub #1

Definitely. We do need some first choice midfielders desperately though. Adam, Spearing and Henderson are really not up to the job (saying that Gerrard needs to up his game after last night too, but we at least know he is capable of that).Originally posted by Rich View PostPhew - that's ok then.

Just cos I didn't like last seasonings signings doesn't mean I dislike all players you know!Last edited by Mattshark; 03-08-12, 03:56 PM.Comment

Yep, that is a bit of concern right now while we have no real cover for him. I think we could do with at least 2, maybe 3 new CM's.Originally posted by Lee View Post

This is sort of what happened last season. We were well-stocked on midfielders and then Aquilani & Meireles left right at the end of the window and Lucas got injured early on.Originally posted by Mattshark View Post
Gerrard, Allen and Lucas starting looks good to me.
Shelvey and Henderson as back-up for the centre is fine. We can't rely on Sterling and **** knows what's happening with Pacheco.
But I don't think Adam, Spearing, Cole and Downing are up to it so we definitely need a couple more midfielders.Comment
