KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Raul of Alberto?

I'm with Growler too on this one. I'd let Aquilani go on a FREE (Cole, Poulson & Jova too) before I SOLD Raul.

I feel a petition coming on.
Has he actually asked to leave, and is he on the transfer list now, or is he being 'eased out'?

Reading the football section of the weekend Echo. The LFC columist felt it was the right thing to move him on. Viewpoint was that although he was fans player of the he lacks pace and Liverpool are more than covered in that position particulary with Gerrard coming back. Plus we will get a good fee for him that can be used to strengthen areas where we have gaps in thw squad. So overall not because Raul is a bad player but pragmatic decisions for the benefir of the overall squad.

Load'a bollox...not you, them.

How long before Gerrard is out injured again anyway ey? Answer me THAT one!

Someone at Anfield needs to go and 'ave their 'ed re-wired imo.

He did play alongside Gerrard when the captain is fit. And i don't really know who the columist is referring to when he said that Liverpool is more than covered in that position but hey, i doubt its Jordan or Adam.

Heres the article boys

I agree with moving on poulson, jova and as much and i like joe cole i think hes prob past it so maybe move him along as well. But i think we should be doing everything to hold onto aqua and raul, they are both obviously class and having the option of being able to have both plus gerrard on the field at once in the last 20/30 mins of games where we need to create a goal or just control the flow of the game until the whistle may be one of the keys to bringing the title back to Anfield.

looks likely growls...v r going for charlie..no one wants aqua..think think..

hmmm there is no doubt aqulani has the better vision, but raul meireles is more consitant and dangerouse from shooting and alot more stamina so i would keep raul


raul meireles reminds me of terry mcdermott

I would much rather keep Meireles than sign adam.And Im not going to go look up the stats about Adam of which of his goals were from open play but Im almost positive that less than half were from open play. I remember seeing a lot more PK and FK goals from him. If we are bring him in for Free Kicks do we really expect him to take over duty from both Gerrard AND Suarez. And when it comes to PKs we have Gerrard and Kuyt who are almost always a sure thing. I'm just saying if we want a midfielder with flair and who is versatile Meireles is the man we want, not Adam. If we hadn't already signed Henderson i would've been all for signing Adam but I cant see why we would need him now.
