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

id like to keep raul but at that mainly as a squad player because i do think he is very soft in a tackle tho he has good movement.

imo i think adam will suit lfc more than raul but hope raul stays

sell mid= poulson,aqua,jova,maxi,cole

loan mid= shelvy out

are centre mids= gerrard,adam,lucus,raul,hendo,and jay spearing which is about as many centre mids all the top sides have ni days

If we did get rid of both , do you think there are adequate cover or maybe replacement for them? Imagine this :- Raul Meireles and Alberto Aquilani out. Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam in. Sounds a bit odd but that maybe the case in the following months before the transfer window close at the end of August. If Aquilani do leave , I would not be disappointed as he had said he would prefer to stay in Italy and we do not want players whose heart are not in the team if they were to play for Liverpool FC. But If Raul Meireles do leave , I will have mixed feelings. On one hand we will miss his workrates and his late running into the box to get into goalscoring positions. But on the other hand , we can nurture our youngsters to achieve greater things when the responsibility are passed down to them. I don't think many of you might not agree with this but I sincerely feel that LUCAS and JAY SPEARING combination towards the end of last season was a real eye opener. They showed that in the absence of our captain Steven Gerrard , they are capable of shouldering his responsibility. So if both Raul Meireles and Alberto Aquilani do leave in the summer transfer window , it will not be the end but just the start of a new era.


If Scum can do really well with Darren Fletcher , Michael Carrick , Anderson , Ryan Giggs and the ever injured Owen Hargreaves in the middle of the park , then I would think that combination of Steven Gerrard , Lucas , Jay Spearing , Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson would be up there with the best if they can come up with good teamwork and the spirit of teamwork and playing for each other.


Just My Thoughts
YNWA...

i dont see a reason to "replace" aqua considering he was out on loan last season and our midfield played well (atleast under KK). I still think selling raul is a huge mistake. as long as we offload poulsen, cole, jova, aqua and maybe loan out shevley, meireles doesnt need to go. gerrard, meireles, lucas, henderson, adam and spearing sounds about right to me.

I also have to tip my hat to Spearing for the work he did towards the end of the season but I cant see him playing a whole lot next season, I think he has to be a last resort for KK. if we plan on offloading raul for only a 1.5M profit without considering loaning out spearing or shevley i think we are wasting the dedication and talent raul has shown LFC this past season.

I'm just totally staggered that LFC are even considering getting rid of him. (Raul) when you think just how good he was for us last season.
What makes it even harder to accept when you look at some of the utter turds we've had and have STILL got on the books that we seemingly can't get rid of.

Has N'gog actually gone anywhere yet btw?

I agree with you growls but i heard today that he wants to leave if the club dont give him what he was promised, which was a pay rise after his first season with us!?

Yeah apparently thats what I read as well. Well if he wants a payrise maybe they should give him since he was one of the stars last season.

a promise is a promise if thats why he decided to try the prem in the first place! he done well so maybe deserves it ?

getting rid of raul and bringing in henderson and adam will make us significantly worse. We will never get back to top 4 with signings like those and letting go of our better players.

I know 'mybloodisred, mybloodisboiling.

Madness ! As Dunk says in his vid n rightly so , get the dead wood out first - Jovanovich , Poorlson , Joe 90K a week Cole. Meireles is class in an area where we're very lightweight without SG.
Only sell him if you can bring in better!
