Brendan Rodgers

[danperkins]

I like how he even manages to make scuppering a deal for Swansea's best player to sound almost reasonable

"I'll speak to the lad.." in other words "He's not joining you anymore"

I know!

Joe Allen is their best player though I reckon. He's class.

He is and quite easily he could be our 2013/14 first signing especially if Swansea goes down.

As good as Jack Wilshire?

Actually quite happy we have a season long embargo on Swansea players, had a fingers burnt to much recently with one season wonders, lets see if 2 season wonders work any better.

The intetest for Beguiristain from LFC has cooled down drastically. At the moment, it looks like he won't help Brendan next season

Perhaps he wants the traditional dof role. You know, the one Brendan is set against.

Brendan wants total control, don't think we'll see any other new faces or the structure that FSG wanted to implement.

Question: Are we going to be missing the next fad?

For example, 2008 was the invention of tika-taka; four years to introduce it, develop it and now - mebbe - counter it? We know football tactics evolve, we now need another three (?) year plan for us as a club to implement it, by 2015 will football have moved on to another style?

Obviously it's hard to guess what will happen in three years time, even more so the football that will be played, but are we preparing to create a style of football that could be outdated by the time it is embedded?

The PL is about 20 years behind, so plenty of time for us.

I like the optimism.

Ah.

Great minds and all that jazz.

I bet your post was more concise than my word-a-thon too.
