KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Can't understand our transfer policy - Madness!!!

Why are some people comparing Raul Meireles and Jordan Henderson. Yes they are playing in the same position but to compare them is not fair as they play in the different team. Who would dare say that Raul Meireles can perform better than Jordan Henderson if he was in the Sunderland squad? And who can definitely say Jordan Henderson would be under performing if he play in the Liverpool squad?

So guys , if you want to compare players , please compare them fairly. I believe that with both of them at Liverpool FC , they can be part of our great team next season. Hopefully with players like Joe Cole , Milan Jovanovic and Christian Poulsen leaving sooner rather than later , we can have a great combination in the middle of the park. Just imagine these players in the middle of the park. Steven Gerrard , Raul Meireles , Alberto Aquilani , Jordan Henderson , Lucas Leiva and Jay Spearing fighting for 2 starting positions. This will be enough for all to have a part to play if anyone of them is injured , suspended or even out of form. And remember , Henderson and Gerrard can play in more than CM position. Right Winger and Second Striker respectively.


So guys please leave Henderson alone. If we can give chances to players like Yossi Benayoun and Didi Hamann who are not playing well for their previous clubs before joining Liverpool , then why not give Henderson a chance. He is Sunderland's Young Player of the Year for 2 years in a row if I'm not mistaken.


Just My Thoughts
YNWA...

I know that some fans aren't happy with the Henderson transfer but if he only reads a handful of messages on forums each day he's probably thinking already that he's made a massive mistake in joining a club where the fans have turned on him before he has even played for us. "Supporters" my arse!
Forget the fee (unless you personally helped to finance the deal), and see how he does. Granted he was poor (along with the whole team) at the U21 championships, but that bears no reflection on ho he will do for us. Look at how many so-called international stars have come here and failed miserably:

veron
forlan
shevchenko
robinho
dzeko
diouf
rebrov
etc, etc..............

At least with Henderson there is no risk element in that he won't be suited to the premier league.


[post aimed at no on in particular]

People are just too eager to believe whatever they hear from the media. Twitter and more Twitter BS which then can be read in papers the next day. Maybe there is a reason why we haven't landed those signings. Maybe we have been waiting for July to come and in a week or two we might have 2-3 signings from another League.

The dead wood is a shame to be having around. Players that our beloved Hodgson signed for us and turned out to be dreadful signing with huge weekly fee.

I'm staying hopeful and still think it will be a hectic summer.

Spot on mate. Good post.

There's a negative few posters on this forum, and they pretty much rehash the same stuff at every half chance, and are unwilling to listen to any voice of reason or logic. There's no use talking to them cos they're not interested in listening. Some people are just happy to have something to moan and b!tch about. They base their gripes on internet rumours. There are internet rumours to beat the band, both negative and positive - most of them are completely untrue. These people choose to focus on all of the negative ones. These aren't 'supporters'.

Whilst I often agree some of the negativity is unfounded, like henderson being no good, as none of us have seen him play under kenny yet, he may be amazing and just what we're looking for for example, this kind of post (the one I've quoted) is the most arrogant and annoying kind of post that can be found on forums. Who the hell are you to suggest that just because they don't agree with your point, that whatever they say is rehashing and not listening to logic. They could very easily say the same thing about you. Both sides reiterate their points and it is a thoughtless mindless individual that resorts to the standard "you're not listening to logic" [oops]. The only thing that tops it off is the use of 'supporters'. They are as much supporters as you so grow up. Whilst I agree with your side of the argument, the way you go about it is childish and arrogant.

Back the f*ck up there a second, you clown. You quote me somewhere where i've said Henderson is amazing or anything of the sort. I've never even suggested as much, all i've said is that can we please just give him a chance instead of second-guessing how he's going to do. I'm not saying that the content of people's negative comments are 'wrong', i'm saying they're unfounded because they're completely speculative - and therefore unconstructive. We don't know how these players are going to perform, just as we don't know which players we are going to buy and sell.

The first step of defining the season ahead starts the day this transfer window shuts. Until then, i'm not interested in hearing people crying that we're not signing players like we expected we would. Yes, i'm a bit worried at the lack of signings completed, but I nor anybody else looking from the outside, has any idea what is going on behind closed doors - and that's the way to have it. Gone are the days of previous regimes where our business was played out in public - the Liverpool Way is back, and that's something to be happy about, not to moan about.

With regards to my reference about 'supporters'. I didn't say they weren't fans, i used the word 'supporters'. Define the word 'support', and then tell me if these people are showing support to the club.

Definied and I am telling you yes they still support the club. Also I don't know what the first two paragraphs were about??? I havnt once suggested you made a statement about henderson. I'm just pointing your arrogance in the way you go about constructing an argument is ridiculous and shows u up.

I don't see how you translate that as arrogance. If you looked through the topics, i've actually had the exact same discussion on the same one or two matters over and over and over with a certain poster, and this person still carries on with the same invalid point. I'm sorry if you think it's arrogant of me to say that, but I'm not going against what he's saying (ie: if the point is that Henderson's sh!t/Meireles is being sold/we're not signing any top players, i'm not saying Henderson's fantastic/Meireles isn't being sold/we're gonna sign great players) - i'm just saying that we don't have the answers to these questions, so can we just have a degree of patience and stop trying to be judge, jury and executioner on a case where the crime is yet to be committed.

I don't think that's an arrogant or childish point of view. I have my own worries with regards to how things are planning out, but i'm not spitting my dummy out and giving out about this person and that person within the club, that they're crap and that they're ruining our club, need to get the finger out etc. Because, what's the point really?

u r a true philosopher lumba!
