To be fair N'Gog came for 1.5 million as an unproven youngster, got into the team in the worst period in the history of Liverpool football club.
Was asked to step into the shoes of Fernando Torres when he was injured or couldn't be arsed.. He then score some important goals even when leading the line by himself and getting no support.
You say he hasn't improed as a player but he came for 1.5 and is being sold for 7-9 mil. Agreed he isn't of the quality for Liverpools first team, but for your time at Liverpool i say David N'Gog you put in a good shift in a terrible team. Thanks for the memories and wish you all the best.
Do I?
No, I´m just saying that we have a lot of deadwood on high salaries.
No matter what they came for, it´s a proven fact that Joe Cole et al do have monster salaries and produce almost nothing on the pitch.
I would say that we have shown some bad judgement over the past 20 years, when it comes to termination of contracts for unwanted players. Just because we can´t sell them without loss we keep holding on to them, praying that they suddenly will come alive.
If a player isn´t good enough then we have to trade him on ASAP, no matter what we get for him (that´s just a sunk cost to deal with). As long as he´s still in the squad it means that someone else is held back from the first team.
As we now have got rid of H&G it´s no longer a viable fact that we have to keep doing the same old mistakes because of bad finances either!
Move on, move up!
