Northeu Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 If we are going to go on about players that "fit the system" then Suso and Pacheco both need to be around the squad this year. There's room for both to kick on and both are already adept at the type of football BR wants to play and they are both going to qualify as homegrown players. Susos contracts up soon i think and Dani's now 21 not using them and losing them is a bigger gamble than throwing them in and them failing. Sterling and Ibe probably both need a year and two or three respectively but its kind of nice to see almost old fashioned wingers that want to take on fullbacks on the outside. The rest of the youth players on show pretty much have no chance of making it to the level we require. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roseboy64 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Meh, with random Chinese clubs paying £20m a year wages for players I wouldn't rule out foreign clubs being interested.I guess only time will tell if anyone is willing to pay it, I'm sure we'll find out soon. I would imagine we would probably get (and take) £18m for him. They only pay that for established players as far as I see. Carroll is far from Anelka level never mind Drogba even in their advanced ages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

knapp... Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 really enjoyed yesterdays game, especially second half. good to see aqua strutting his stuff again, as much as i don't rate him nearly has highly as some in here, i hope we can persuade him to stay as we realistically won't get anyone as good coming in so may aswell save some money and play him. more excited by suso, pacheco and sterling than i am about downing, cole or bellamy playing out wide next season. shame it won't happen though.

DeafParrot Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I still have doubts that Pacheco is quite going to make it with us. He's at a similar level to Suso and Sterling and they both have a few years in hand on him. Its unfortunate for him, he's been desperate for games for a couple of seasons yet hasn't got them when needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony7 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Copied this from another forum Credit to Anfield Index who I saw this from on Twitter, this guy is the best for Liverpool related stats. So, only a friendly but: Last season we averaged below 495 passes per game, last night we attempted 700+ completing 91% Carragher didn't hoof the ball once The goalkeepers only kicked it long twice Jay Spearing completed 72 passes in his best game last season, he was on course to beat that easily yesterday We had 7+ players with 90% passing completion For a first run out, that is very impressive for me. Cheers, have looked at the link he used. Lots of interesting info. Will post this analysis here too: Passes attempted 1. Spearing 49 2. Shelvey 44 3. Adam 41 4. Suso 36 5. Aquilani 34 6. Lucas 18 7. Adorjan 15 Pass completion 1. Adorjan 100% 2. Aquilani 97% 3.= Spearing & Lucas 94% 5. Shelvey 91% 6. Suso 86% 7. Adam 80% Caught in possession and lost the ball 1. Shelvey & Adorjan & Lucas 3 4.Spearing & Aquilani 4 6. Suso 7 7. Adam 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 thought adam was fine yesterday and would expect him to be quite a good squad player for us in a more solid midfield 3 where he doesn't have to bomb up and down the pitch as much. i'd be happy for him to go elsewhere though if we can get a good deal.

Tony7 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 BR likes his players to press a lot especially high up the pitch and regain the ball back within 7 seconds. Adam, Alberto and Cole don't fit in that category. The 3 players are not the pass and move into space players BR wants either and Adam def needs more than 2 touches before he passes the ball.

Tony7 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm pretty damn sure Aquilani does pass and move pretty well Doesn't press the opposition and work hard to get the ball back though which is why I put him alongside the other 2. I don't understand why some LFC fans go overboard about him. Alberto has played in Italy the past 2 seasons and nobody there wants to buy him for a cut price.

Widzew Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I enjoyed the friendly alot more then I thought I would. Being so close to the field. Agger came over to my section and signed some autographes. I shook his hand and told him he was out standing at the euros and couldnt wait to see him play this season. Put a big smile on his face, he seemed to appreciate that. Tiki-Taka was apperent from kick off. It was nice to see. It seemed to confuse some folks that were sitting around me. They were ranting to themselves wondering why liverpool kept passing the ball back to the defenders. All in all I enjoyed my Saturday watching my pride and joy kick the ball around. Sitting so close to the bench. Seeing Branden and the other lads about 5 yards away was quite the experiance. Makes me wish I lived in liverpool so I could goto every game! And experiance the Anfield atmosphere.. One day.. one day.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwig Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Cabaye had a minimum fee clause in his contract, which was in his contract before he won the league and broke into the national side so it’s not like he was some unknown bargain. Having said that I do think you could broaden your horizons a bit and look at leagues which are a bit similar to England like the French and German leagues. I keep hearing good things about Capoue and it looks like Arsneal might be cooling their interest in M’Vila, so they’re worth taking a look at.

Select_screen_name: Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Been told nothing more will happen with Dempsey until the Carroll situation is sorted with Newcastle. Either they agree a deal or reject it. It is meant to include a Newcastle player as well, so that would need sorting before deciding whether to make a move on to Dempsey.

niggle Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Liverpool can today confirm Toni Silva has completed a transfer to Barnsley, subject to confirmation from the relevant footballing bodies.The 18-year-old midfielder joined Anfield from Benfica in the summer of 2009 and spent the latter part of the 2011-12 campaign on loan at League Two outfit Northampton Town. Everyone at LFC would like to wish Toni all the very best for the future. haven't watched the kids much lately so no idea if he was good enough to make it.
