Pack your bags Roy

[badpiggy]

So all of a sudden roy, you DONT think the squad is so full of ****, as you'd earlier intimated?

Or maybe the owners have decided they dont want him spending their money?

We can only hope

i am going to go cry now.

Read this first thing this morning and still couldn't believe that he's spouting such ****.

His interviews are getting worse and worse, and sadly, I expect nothing less.

He's a loser. I'm not going to call him a cunt or a duffer (well, I have previously ), simple fact is that he's a loser with a small-club mentality.

Give up ffs.

Roy Hodgson not been allowed to buy Carlton Cole in january. I'll cry tears of Joy.

Seriously i wonder if NESV and camolli have seen the types of players Roy wants and said "**** that"

Yup, I have faith in Comolli. I'm sure he'll do well.

You can see Hodgson trying to claim credit though for any good signings that Comolli makes - the old *******.

Roy admits U-turn

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson insists he is now keen to keep the current squad intact ahead of the January transfer window.

The Reds chief has previously signalled his intent to bring new blood into the club after a disastrous start to the current campaign that left them marooned in the bottom three.

But Liverpool have returned to form of late and Hodgson is pleased with the current contingent in the Anfield camp.

The 63-year-old admits he has changed his opinion on players he inherited from predecessor Rafa Benitez ahead of the trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

"Basically I know what my best team is - the best team is more than 11 players," said the Reds boss, who accepts his view may have been tainted by poor results.

"I could have a best team and say one week it is with X and another week it is Y but it still would be my best team because the players are interchangeable.

"I have a very clear picture now of what we should and need to be doing and the squad is stronger and getting stronger.

"It was probably stronger than I realised at certain stages in the early part of the season when we were losing games.

"Hopefully that will mean we won't need to do too much in the January transfer window because it might be nice if we can keep all of these players fit and well and add the odd player or two who can help us.

"I have a lot of faith in the players who are playing at the moment because in the last two or three weeks we have put in some good performances."

Limited

Hodgson and his scouting team have been spotted at various matches on the continent in the last few weeks.

But his belief that things are improving, allied to an uncertainty of what transfer funds will be available, is likely to mean a limited amount of activity in January.

"I don't know what is going to happen in the transfer window," said Hodgson.

"We are doing a lot of work, covering a lot of matches and looking at a lot of players.

"We are trying to arm ourselves as much as possible with information.

"It is the work in progress which every club has to do - constantly monitoring players and what is out there, what might be useful for you because you never know what is around the corner.

"When push comes to shove in January none of us know as yet what transfer funds can be made available and we have no idea if there will be any guarantee the people we are watching will be available.

"I would like to continue with this squad of players until the end of the season because I have no ambitions or desires to move anyone.

"But on the other hand I can't give a stone certain guarantee that there won't be players moving in January, and if so we would need to know where to go for their replacements."

x2

Publicly slagging off the players he inherited rather than working with them to find out their strengths?! What a clueless, classless *******. I hate this man with a passion.

Roy has the memory of a goldfish and the same coaching sense!

At least it sounds like NESV and Comolli is in charge of our transfers and not Roy.

They don't tell him anything by the look of it. I doubt that it is Roy that decides who we sell and sign. That is why he comes out with all the different versions IMO.

Hopefully, although the fact he's been seen at lots of games on the continent of late would suggest he'll have some input.

Unless the club are just sending him off abroad to humour him and get him out of the way while they work on the real transfer targets.

Think this could be the case. Comolli looking at players and then telling Roy this is who we are getting so come have a look. Kind of like taking your dad to view the nursing home even though his opinion doesn't matter as he's going in there anyway.

He isn't exactly scouting any new targets. Almost all of the players he scouted are players that we have been scouting before.

I think that we are sending him to show that we are interested in signing the best talents and not because it is his decision to go there or that he want the player(s) we are scouting.

It is a better chance to sign a player if you been after him a long time instead of just showing up very late trying to sign him.
