Joshyboy1984 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Read a bit the other day that Rodgers considered Allen the one true potential top 4 player in Swansea's squad which is why they put this £15m release clause on him which in turn looks like it's going to bite him on the arse here. I don't see the Scholes comparison either really. Always thought of Scholes as a Xabi-esque playmaker with his finesse passing. Joe's a lot more 'busy' from what I've seen, better defensively, a bit more mobile but doesn't have Scholes passing range or ability to get on the end of things in the box. But he's perfect for BR's philosophy as he moves possession on quickly. I think it's hard to compare him to another footballer because there's few that play in his style on the ball but then have that mobility and aggression to win the ball back 3-4 times a game.

Kenco Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Let City buy Sakho, we can keep DAgger. Other clubs make us pay ridiculous fees for players so why should we sell our best players for what they are worth? If he goes for anything less than £30m then we will be an even bigger laughing stock than we are already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonus1010 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 i'm pretty sure Agger doesn't have just a year left on his contract though 2 years left, seeing as we wont finish in the top 4 this season coming, would he sign an extension or a new contract, missing out on CL football yet again? Otherwise we would be in the same position as Arsenal with Nasri and Van Persie, in a years time. Sakho is available for transfer...

Rafalution Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Henderson is far more attack minded than Allen, and isn't really a playmaker in the same kind of way. Further having 3 for team players for 2 positions in central midfield is not at all a bad idea. We could end up playing 60games this year with a couple of decent cup runs. We're gonna need more than Hendo and Lucas, and the less Spearing and Adam the better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the problem, he had a good 6 months in that season, showed some promise and then we went in and signed him for crazy money. The general consensus amongst Sunderland fans was that he had ability but lacked consistency. All we have seen in his time with us is his lack of consistency, none of the ability he showed whilst at Sunderland. Will we see it? I have my doubts.

Noob21 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 if he is available for sale from a club that clearly dont have to sell their best players then maybe he's not as good as some make him out to be... We're talking Ancelotti here, he loves his older defenders and Sakho has three defenders (Alex, Lugano, and now Silva) ahead of him Pretty sure they would've kept him if he agreed to be a backup player, but I don't think someone who made over 150 senior games for PSG and already been capped by the NT would stick around for a backup role And he's only 22 y/o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I would If I was the player. Chance to help a team with a history of success regain such success and pretty much a cert to start each game. that's fair enough but if i was sahin and had no affiliation to liverpool (??) i personally would not care about trying to return the club to successful times in my season long loan spell. i'm pretty certain he's going to get a good deal of first team football no matter where he goes but i think the thought of working around the arsenal or spurs squads is more exciting for him. for me even if i wasn't an arsenal fan working with cazorla, podolski, potentially rvp etc sounds better. as a non-liverpool fan i think it's evident that you can't attract players you once could, history only goes so far for your reputation. you're just going to have to work with weaker alternatives for the minute and forget some of the bigger names. dempsey for example imo would be a solid signing for you to move on in the short term and yet i see some liverpool fan reject him.

If we was to get 20m+ and maybe Johnson thrown in somewhere, you can't argue with that. Get in a defender which is less injury prone. It's not the end of the world like people make out. Unless he signs a Swansea defender, then you can be mad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
