benjaminpeter Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Rodgers is saying all the right things at the moment, and still sticking with the line that he wants a good look at the squad in pre-season. I also read some of his comments as getting in some digs at Siggurdsson, basically saying that we won't pay over the odds for players, and that many players don't have 'the courage and the bravery' to buy into the Liverpool ethos. I'm not all that worried about signings at the moment. We've still got a squad of some potential, let's see if Rodgers can get the best out of them.

Genuine question fwiw He mentioned that the club is a way of life rather than somewhere you can turn up to train for 2 hours and then bugger off home. I think a lot of Liverpool supporters expect newcomers to shoulder the burden of our history and buy into the prophecy that someday some great messiah will lead us back to glory. I think it's a hinderance that raises unfair expectations and actually limits the kind of players we can buy. If the next Messi/Cronaldo/Iniesta turns up at Liverpool but couldn't really give a toss about the City or the fans or the ethos, but is willing to give us 5 great seasons, are people gonna resent him? I reckon they would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the idea of loaning out Carroll. Ignoring the ridiculous transfer fee we paid for him, he's still quite young and (reportably) quite immature, a year in Milan certainly wouldn't slow his progression off and on the pitch (as long as plays remotely regularly). And if he's still a lump up front after that then we might still be able to get some money back for him. If it means we're going to bring in a striker or two to play a more fluid brand of football, I'm happy for Carroll to go, either on loan or be sold.

niggle Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Andy Carroll loan move a possibility - Brendan RodgersLiverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says he would consider letting striker Andy Carroll go out on loan. The 23-year-old England international has struggled to meet expectations since joining the club from Newcastle for a club record £35m in January 2011. "It's something I would have to look at, I have to be honest," said Rodgers. "Andy's always going to be linked with clubs, whether he was here or not. He knows exactly where he stands, but I have had no inquiries about him." Carroll has been linked with a loan move to Italian side AC Milan, who were reportedly impressed by his displays at the recent European Championships, where he made three appearances for England and scored once, against Sweden. Rodgers said: "There are many things to going on loan. Is it going to be beneficial for the club, that's the most important thing? "Sometimes a player going out on loan - in general, not just Andy - can benefit the club in the long term. It gets them game experience and they come back a better player, a more confident one. Certainly more so than if they've been sitting on the bench for the majority of the season. "I'm not going to sit here and say I will never let anyone go on loan, then come in here in two weeks and a player's gone, and you're saying 'you said you wouldn't let them go'." Carroll came into this summer's international tournament in Poland and Ukraine following arguably his best form in a Liverpool shirt, during which he scored the winner in the Premier League game against Blackburn and goals in the FA Cup semi-final and final. Prior to that the striker had come under criticism for his performances in a Reds shirt, with him having scored just eight goals in 49 appearances since his high-profile move from Newcastle for a record fee for a British player. Critics have also suggested that Carroll may struggle to fit into Rodgers' preferred 4-3-3 style of play, while the manager is also believed to be keen to sign forward Fabio Borini - with whom he has worked at both Chelsea and Swansea - from Italian side Roma. "He's [Carroll] no different to any player we have here," added Rodgers. "They might have all the attributes but not the mentality to play. "It's a wee bit unfair for Andy to get labelled any other way. He's a good kid, a good lad, so we will just see how the formation of the group shapes up over the next four or five weeks. "My task is to build a group that can challenge. Hopefully when the bus leaves at the end of pre-season, it will have the people on it who I want." not exactly a glowing endorsment by BR, would rather sell him than loan him if we are going to cut our losses.

Agree with this, especially if it means Carroll gets regular football and comes back a better player. Option 2 is to let him rot on the bench/reserves, which isn't good for anyone. Alternatively, he could be on the bench as part of a plan B route one option if plan A isn't working in some games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRJ Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Jonjo Shelvey has today signed a new contract at Liverpool Football Club. The 20-year-old put pen to paper on the long-term deal at Melwood on Tuesday morning to commit his future to the Reds. Shelvey moved to Anfield from Charlton in May 2010 and has made 37 appearances for the first team. The midfielder spent time on loan at Blackpool last season before returning to Liverpool to score two goals in 16 run outs, including a stunning long-range strike against Chelsea in the final home game of the campaign.

LRJ Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Why would he play Borini out wide? From what I've seen he's always played through the middle. Young, reasonably quick, good in front of goal, has this habit of getting in good positions lots of times - spent most of last season playing wide in a 4-3-3 and did surprisingly well. Not sure about him as a player at the highest level - he got most of his goals last season in the space of about a month, and then after that didn't do much (picked up an injury in that time, but still had enough games). Played wide last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
