He has had a full season being fit and playing. We need to give him a chance and see how he goes. We won't get what we want for him now and he won't be worth much less next year.

do we really need cole, maxi, maiereles and aquilani? andwhere does he fit in? he is never a CM or a winger carroll cant play up front on his own so playing aquilani off of carroll is a rubbish idea. he just doesnt fit in if we can get 9 million for him id take it.

House what is our bench going to look like? Shelvey polsen, ngog all over again? We all knnow how that turns out. If they cant fit in the first 11 have them in the squad for a matchday. I am sure they can make more contributions then those fringe players.

Why the f*** would you chose to single out Maxi, Mereiles and Aqualani for sale - when we've still got the likes of Poulsen, Insua and N'Gog on the books - players who really have very little to contribute to LFC

Aquilani is an attacking central midfielder and with Gerrard out the side he'd be the ideal replacement if his form pre-season is anything to go by

Merieles was our besyt signing last season and Rodriguez chipped in with his fair share of goals

It certainly hasn't happened with Cole yet but I'd be willing to give him, one more season as we will probably have to as no other club will be willing to match his wages

If you'd take £9m for a player that cost us £20m without even being given a decent chance to prove himself, then I'm just glad you're not running the club

clearly you dont read a post before responding... i never said we should sell maxi, cole, meireles and aquilani i said do we need all of them imo we only need 2 i would sell aquilani and cole. why your talking about poulsen and insua i'll never know. the fact that we brought aquilani for 20 million tells you everything you need to know about how the club was being run, an awful transfer.


Snakeye... i see our bench being something like .... doni, johnson, skrtel, lucas/adam, shelvey, meireles/henderson, kuyt am i happy with that bench? no, but i dont see aquilani making much difference, thats why i keep saying we need to sell him and buy another winger. i'd love us to sell cole, maxi and aquilani and sign marc albrighton

100% correct

It is an awful transfer although that's had very little to do with the player's performances

He was unused by Rafa - who despite losing the one player who held his 4-2-3-1 formation together (Alonso) decided to stick with it, using Lucas in Xabi's place

He was then shipped out on loan, presumably because the utterly clueless Christian Purslow told Hodgson to get him off the wage bill

If we then sell him for about £8m then it will go down as an awgful tansfer yet whenever I've seen him play - and under Rafa he was usually restructed to a couple of minutes at the end of a game, he looked pretty decent and most importantly creative which with a team full of workhorses like Kuyt and Lucas is a massive bonus

How you bring Maxi into this discussion whose a winger is beyond me

Saying we only need 2 of Maxi, Aqualani, Meireles and Cole is completely ludicrous - the reason we've never gone on and won the Premiership yet is because our bench has never been strong enough and we've been unable to replace quality with quality

The days when you can win the league with 11 quality players are long gone

are you saying aquilani could play as a CM in a 442 formation? witch is the formation best suited to our squad.

i bring up maxi because he will be competing with aquilani for a place on one of the wings he'll also be competing with downing, henderson, meireles, cole and kuyt, hence why we have have a to sell a couple of them 6 players competing 2 positions isn't good, we may occasionally play 4231 witch would make another place in the team but more often than not we'll be playing 442 so no room for all these attacking mids who aren't CMs or wingers. tbh i dont care what 2 get sold but we cant have that many similar players. we need another winger

you are talking utter rubbish. you are sick of reading about him so you go and start a thread just abt him there is a reason why everyone rates. not everyone can be wrong

I can't believe people would want him gone for as little as £9m. We'd still get that if we gave him a season to prove himself. And yes he's not a CM but formations are never rigid these days so could play as an advanced CM in a 442.

Aquilani is just the type of player we need wether for the first 11 or the bench. Strength in depth! I would be looking else where for players to sell before selling him especially for the amounts being mentioned. And he'll never be competing with Maxi for the wing.
