I wouldn't say Martinez has flopped at Bayern, he was eased into it slowly by Heynckes and has done ok so far, but he definitely was not worth 40million euros, the problem with a fee that size is that its almost impossible to justify when you're a defensive mid. Luiz Gustavo has also been playing well.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

I don't buy into that argument.Originally posted by Arn View PostRodgers is simply not a big enough name. Get in someone like Ancelotti and we would at least have a chance to sign him.
The best players don't sign for a manager like Rodgers.
Rodgers may or may not be good enough in a few years time but the star players don't want to risk playing for a manager that may not be good enough.
The Sahin saga probably isn't exactly a big plus.

XABI ALONSO MUST TAKE PAY CUT TO RE-JOIN LIVERPOOL
XABI ALONSO would have to take a big pay cut to go back to Liverpool.
The Spain midfielder, 31 (left) has rejected a new two-year contract at Real Madrid which has alerted his old club.
Liverpool have held informal talks with his agent about the possibility of bringing him back to Anfield.
But Alonso has a lucrative deal in Madrid that Liverpool would struggle to match, earning a basic salary of almost £80,000 a week, plus bonuses and a share of his own image rights.
The new deal he has rejected from Real is even more lucrative – meaning Liverpool may have to smash their newly-impose wage structure to bring him back. Reds managing director Ian Ayre recently confirmed that Liverpool would be offering performance-related contracts to all new signings.
But that means Alonso can expect to earn more if he goes elsewhere.
MLS side LA Galaxy and Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala are both interested in signing him and have the financial clout to better the three-year deal on offer at Anfield.

Liverpool plotting homecoming for Xabi Alonso

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers looks keen to reunite his supporters with one of their Istanbul heroes as Xabi Alonso keeps Real Madrid waiting on signing a new contract claims The Daily Mail.
alonsoThe 31-year old was a key player in Rafa Benitez’s spell at the Club that included FA Cup and Champions League victories and the Spanish international has gone on to keep that form with Real Madrid as he chases his second Champions League winners medal.
Liverpool know it was a mistake to undervalue the player’s importance to the club, who’s future at Anfield was put in limbo when they openly allowed him to leave if a replacement could be found, a decision no Liverpool fan agreed with.
The Anfield Club have always remained in Alonso’s heart and the player has never ruled out a return to Merseyside one day, and with Madrid Coach Jose Mourinho being linked with jobs away from the Bernabeu, now could be a good a time as any for Alonso to ‘come home’.
A fee would need to be agreed with Madrid as Alonso’s contract runs till 2014 but with the possibility of a new manager at Madrid next season, Madrid may see it as a good time to claw back some of the £30 million pound they paid for Alonso back in 2009.

...the 'big names' are generally those managers who the media get the most column inches from. Very few of the 'big names' have actually consistently performed to a high level for years.. Begrudgingly, Ol'Red Nose is one of the few who has. Many others are flash in the pan, flavour of the month type managers... You just have to look at recent Prem seasons firings to see that...Originally posted by Arn View PostRodgers is simply not a big enough name.

Didn't Xabi have a great relationship with Sami Hyypia? I am sure if there is a chance of him going to Bayern Munchen, Sami will advise him not to miss especially as Xabi is reaching the twilight years of his career."Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball."

Think it was probably more the other way round. Kenny came in and had to make amends of all of the bumbling.
