Thanjk you.

If average, mediocre players who can't play in the system we employ, and who embarrassingly barrel into players in dangerous positions is what you're after...
Of course, if he was call Carlos Adaminho that wouldn't matter either.
He's scottish, I'm scottish, I like seeing a scottish link in Liverpool, but nationality doesn't come into it if they're not very good.

Yet Alex Song is the only central midfielder with more assists in the league this season. He's been nowhere near as bad as people on here say. He needs improving on though no doubt.

just got off the old dog and phone to my mole source. F.S.G have been sniffing around johann cruyff. no move made but there is interest #lfc

I guess its subjective, but I'd rather persevere with Henderson than Adam. He has a lot more potential than someone who is already at their peak. Adam isn't as likely to improve, neither is Downing. Carroll and Henderson at least have time on their side.
I know Adam isn't exactly over the hill, but I can't see him getting any better. I'll gladly be rebuked over this if he comes good in the future, but I think he's a peak player now, and we're not likely to see him get any better
I really do think Henderson has a lot of potential, but he hasn't been handled properly. Similairly, Carroll seems to have been managed incorrectly - there are always going to be question marks about why he can never hold a place after he has done well. Its Babelism all over again, except with a higher value, more mentally fragile product.
The real dubious signings for me were Downing and Adam.
One rumour I've heard about Carroll is that his recovery time is/was that of a 40 year old
By recovery they mean how quickly you recharge your batteries after a game with the average being 48-72 hours
Carroll's was apparently about 5-6 days (as was Bellamy's for obvious reasons)!!

One thing about Adam is he's a trier, limited but does give it a go.
Henderson is just invisible, if the match is not going his way (more often than not) then he hides.
Adam has been better than Henderson, Henderson could/should be the better player though.

And another thing - if there are any stats on how many shots on target / opposition chances / opposition assists / goals that have occurred due to Adam's mindless "tackling" I'd like to see them.
If he's still in credit with those assists then fair enough
Adam at 7 million is a decent signing, he had good run then went off the boil but because of injuries had to play much like Enriques current dip. Downing is a class player having a poor season in a poor team .. that said we paid over the odds for him, but we never going to get there player of the year cheap his market rate was 16, they did want to sell, we offered 20 and forced the issue not the end of the world ... Hendo I believe was 13 rising to 16, Carroll is dubious no matter which way you cut it, obviously we signed him beleiving he is going to be one of the most prolific english center forwards of a generation, I would say its still too early to judge him, i would be happy to see him stay with us
Nothing to see here move along ...

Out of interest, as Adam apparently has to set up goals and defend brilliantly why does Lucas only have to defend? Seems a bit harsh he's never criticised for the lack of goals or assists while Adam is expected to do everything.
