What's with this transfer committee nonsense anyway? Obviously Liverpool have long term issues with transfer strategy, or lack thereof, so how is sticking another few heads into the brain trust going to help things run smoother? We've seen it time and time again, with Spurs and their director of football, with Abrahimovic at Chelsea, the manager needs complete control and final say over who comes and goes from a football club, otherwise youve all kinds of mixed up incentives and ideas.
Came out recently that LFC even offered a few million on top of what we did for Sanchez but he said no. So presumably youre after a proactive, hard working forward who can attack with intensity and take over from Suarez. How then does Balotelli enter into the picture? He's a million miles away from that, may as well get big Andy Carroll back.You wouldnt trust Liverpool to head down to Sainsbury's for a pint of milk and come back with change from a tenner, or the milk, at this stage.
On the subject of Brendan Rodgers' 'football philosophy', why does nobody bring up the fact in his initial season and at Swansea, he played passing keep ball football and continued with this well into last season? Only when Suarez really took off playing direct, pacey football and when Sturridge and Stirling joined in did he abandon it all. So in fact BR's entire success is based upon the players leading him down that alley, whether he had any say in it is anyone's guess but I suspect it was mainly Suarez. So where does that leave him now, playing the failed keep ball stuff again or continuing with the fast and direct stuff? Does Brendan even know himself? Obviously not from the players he signed.
You look at Liverpool now and you a see a team with less idea tactically then you did under Kenny K imho.
