Brendan Rodgers

I think it's fair to say thats what he's doing! Just not mouthing off about doing that in public.

Ahhh, a cunning game of subterfuge. I just don't want it to lead to any "we all wespect Siw Alex" type bollocks like Woy came out with after joining us.

I prefer Managers to seem a bit more authoritative than that. A little bit of arrogance never hurt anyone...

Other than that.
...as you were

[Pablo]

I'm not sure about all this "Swansea should be first given a chance to persuade Siguurdson to sign for them" bollocks. **** Swansea. If you want him, sign him Brenda, you don't owe Swansea anything anymore. He who hesitates and all that. Just be decisive.

I respect his stance but I don't believe him . I'd be amazed if he hasn't spoken to Gylfi and pretty much agreed the deal in principle. I think he's just playing this one out respectfully in the media.

[RichC]

I think he's been clever there - made it very clear he's interested in signing him if he wants to come to Liverpool but if he still wants to sign for Swansea thats his call.

[Buzzo]

Also I'm sure Gylfi Siguurdson is also one of the Dwarfs in the Hobbit.

We should be cautious full medical

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

If he signs for Swansea, won't we look stupid. Laudrup might be able to get into the lads head.

We look incredibly stupid already with almost every decision we make, he'll go there and it will only be in style, nothing more.

Liverpool FC scouting restructure takes shape with appointment of Manchester City duo

by James Pearce, Liverpool Echo
Jun 15 2012

LIVERPOOL FC are set to appoint Dave Fallows as head of scouting and recruitment as part of a double swoop on Manchester City.

Fallows will leave his role as first team scouting and recruitment co-ordinator with the Premier League champions to start work at Anfield.

The former Bolton Wanderers performance analyst will be joined by Barry Hunter, who will also quit City to be part of the new scouting set-up under manager Brendan Rodgers.

Since 2008 Hunter has been City’s chief scout for Italy, Switzerland and Russia.

The 43-year-old former Northern Ireland defender, who has also worked as a scout for Blackburn and Norwich, knows Rodgers well from their days at Reading together.

Securing the services of Fallows and Hunter from City represents a major coup for Rodgers as he looks to put the staff in place to help him realise his vision for the club.

Liverpool declined to comment but it’s understood that Fallows will form part of the new technical team working with Rodgers after owners Fenway Sports Group shelved plans to appoint a sporting director.

There are likely to be further appointments to the roles of head of development and head of medicine.

Fallows was at Bolton before moving on to City where he was key to building the club’s international scouting infrastructure using state-of-the-art technology.

“My role is primarily to co-ordinate all aspects of our scouting department, which includes liaising with scouts, fixture planning, managing the constant stream of reports coming in and effectively linking everything together,” Fallows explained back in 2010.

“The traditional role of a scout, where they went to a match and kept all the knowledge in their head rarely exists in modern day scouting structures.”

THIS is when it gets too much. Positive spin and claiming a 'major coup' because we've secured the services of professionals behind the scenes is a bit far.

Pah, he doesn't know what he's talking about. The traditional role of a scout was to wear a woggle and knock on the front doors of paedophiles offering to do things for them in Bob-A-Job Week.

I dunno. If Farrows is a good appointment he would make a massive difference. About time we signed some real quality.

[Buzzo]

Huzzah. we have a new scouting team.

[Vermilion]

All we needed was Rafa and his moby.

I hope he is and I hope we do. I guess it's just the modern day when we know the names of the team behind the team and announce their appointment in the press.

At least he's moved on from storing the information in his head, to storing it on his PC:

Where did he mention a PC? He might have been referring to Post It notes.
