Comolli Sacked

[el matador]

Was he on TS this morning?

Heard Richard the ape man asking someone with a french accent whether Suarez would be at Liverpool without his input (answered no) but didn't get the chance to hear anything else.

Assuming it was Commoli, did anyone hear it / was it of any interest?

he said that suarez wouldnt be at anfield if it wasnt for him.

mata went for 27 and we got downing for 20m

gotze would go for around 30m euros plus imo which is way over what we paid for henderson and theyre also completely different players.

maybe kenny wanted someone with more hard working than pure creative talent like gotze.

Didn't Mata go for something closer to 20? Either way, we were spending money on Adam, Coates and Henderson, if we wanted to go for Mata we could've, just chose not to

What about Carroll, Downing or Henderson? Who wanted them? I'm not paying any attention to what he has to say.

Yes he did and yes we could.

[Sarb]

Yes he did and yes we could.

There were strong rumours that he was very interested in a move to Liverpool I believe. We had better players to go for though

[Fosterbloke]

Mata
Silva
Cazorla
Gotze
Ronaldo
Laudrup
Zidane

That's some serious talent we've missed out on there over the years.

Can`t belive I didn`t pick that one up

[el matador]

Yes he did and yes we could.

look... gotze is a special talent and who wouldnt want that player in their squad but sometimes its not that simple. If kenny and comolli worked within a specific budget then signing mata might have meant not being able to sign a covering defender in coates. fine no big loss but they made that decision at that time.

The original argument was that we could have signed gotze over henderson which imo is wrong because the two arent comparable in terms of positions and how they like to play. But if someone said that we could have signed gotze or mata over downing then its a slightly different story.

but again kenny wanted a winger which mata isnt. its not his game so he wasnt the right type of player to fit kennys gameplan. was it a mistake yes imo because mata is another special talent, but either way mata or gotze cant play in a traditional 442 or 4411 which kenny used because neither are chalk on the boots type wide players whereas downing is.

can downing play in rodgers 433 system - probably not but either of mata and gotze can so imo it comes down to which players suit your system at the time you're making the decision. Kenny made the downing, carroll and henderson ones based on what the system he wanted to play.

it was actually pretty interesting but he did give a wooly answer to the downing signing.
