Daaaaave Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 hmmm...I don't know anything about bony but I thought people would be excited about howedes. looks pretty class and would make a nice jamie replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalution Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 yeah Howdes would be good, would probably mean Coates loaned out too, which might be good for him. not sure why he'd want to leave Schalke for us though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkeat Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Defo shouldn't loan Coates out. I wouldn't even bother with a CB unless Skrtel is going. We have a decent set. As long as Carragher is 4th choice, at best. Agger, Skrtel, Coates and possibly Kelly are ample. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Don't even want Carra as 4th, he looked knackered just sitting on the ITV sofa earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkeat Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think he has something to offer as back up. Just look at that semi-final against Everton. Bar the goal (which was a **** up from several people in fairness) he rolled back the years and put on a great show. That said I also wouldn't lose any sleep whatsoever if he went. Just think he may come in handy from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaaaave Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 since howedes can also play rb, I'd think the depth chart would look something like agger/skrtel/howedes/coates/kelly - which gives us a really valuable option should agger go down with injury. adding europa league matches to domestic cup stuff gives possibly up to 50 games (100 between both positions) to spread around. that's 25-30 games for each of the first 3 and a good dozen or so left to give to coates. johnson/howedes/kelly - great depth and gives added flexibility to move johnson to the left if rodgers wants to play that way. kelly's the odd man out is this scenario but has the possibility to add games if we should 1) sell skrtel 2) lose someone to injury 3) outperform coates.

SRL88 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It's gonna be interesting see what Rodgers does with Carroll and fitting him into his style of play That will be interesting. Carroll cant really do anything if he doesnt have the service. He has proved what he can do with decent crosses into the box so I wonder how we will go to fit him in.

Kopite Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think Carroll could easily fit into the style. I'm sure I read somewhere that Llorente scored more headers last season than any other, whilst Bilbao had more possession and put in less crosses. It's about the right cross along with the right movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeafParrot Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I guess those 22 goals the season he played there were pretty bad yeah. He would have been great there had he not refused to continue playing in the position. Now, he probably hasn't got the legs to do so for a full season. But I believe he could have played in a similar vein to the likes of Messi and Ronaldo there, obviously sans the mesmerising skills of both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he certainly hasn't been bad since he 'refused' to play there so I think he was right to do so. Just in case your post was made in a 'dig at Gerrard' tone. Him behind Torres was as good as we'll ever see a footballer at this club IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainPlanet Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 So Gerrard (a world class versatile mifielder) is a better fullback than most of the cheap back-up fullbacks who played a handful of games for the club. I'm shocked and astounded at this. Thank you for pointing that out. In other news, Suarez is a better left winger than Sebastian Leto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
