Well my view on Aquilani, at this point, is that we have loads and loads of dross to get shut of before we ship him out on a summer discount. He just seems to be unsellable for us - at the right price that is. Let's first see the backs of Poulsen, Degen, Ngog, Cole, El Zhar, Insua, Shelvey and maybe even Wilson, Soto, Spearing and Jones! Omg they are so many!  Agreed... Priorities and all that. Of those you mentioned though, I'd put Shelvey out on loan, and possibly Spearing, although I think we could do with keeping him around.

We must get rid of that lot. Apart from the wage bill they are blocking the youngsters and the squad cohesion. You need good players and youngsters coming through not that bunch of reprobates.

Throwing my opinion in, I think both sides are a little off. Aqualani clearly has shown himself to be our most exciting player during pre season but against valencia I don't see how anyone can argue he was one of the poorer players. All this the ball was played wide etc etc, you go get it then if you're playing in such an important position.
I was too incredibly excited by his performances prior to that, and do still too wish him to stay, at least longer than the large amount of dross we already have. But I consider him now to not be a first teamer, as against better midfields I think he will go missing.

We went wide and over the top against Valencia, if you watch the match again you will see that Aquilani dropped deeper and deeper to get into the game as the service wasn't supplied to him. You can't critisise him for moving off the ball and not receiving the pass, the problem lay with the suppliers.
When he had the ball he 9 times out of 10 picked the right pass and created more space for other people, some people just have an agenda against him I believe and it's sad to see from so called supporters of this club. Aquilani should be played where Adam was played against Valencia to get the full use out of him and you will see a better brand of football from us, instead of attempting 40yard passes that don't come off we will go back to the pass and move game that has worked so well for us in the past. If you prefer long ball football then there is no point having Aquilani in your team.

players who are ahead of aquilani , adam,gerrard,henderson and the forgotten man raul meireles , not forgetting lucas kuyt,maxi,downing,spearing and shelvey there 10 players looking at 4 places but a couple of cameo games against semi pro players and aquilani jumps to the head of the list .

If you prefer long ball football then there is no point having Aquilani in your team. I have no agenda against aqualani and have always wanted him to stay, not least because of his performances at the tail end of his first season with us. I think you'll actually find if you watch the game again he had an indifferent game. Suggesting otherwise gives aqualani haters ammunition as you lose credibility. Talk about the games he did play well in, don't make up that he played well when he was anonymous. He lost the ball more times than he should have and had an indifferent game. There were opportunities for him in the game to impress and he didn't. Yes the game largely didn't suit his style but the opportunities were still there. He had an indifferent game. Still think he has loads to offer against poorer teams though.

I like Aqua and want him to stay but he should be on the bench he has a long way to go to fight his way into the team. It was only a few weeks ago he was telling anyone who would listen he wanted to stay in Italy. Doesn't exactly scream I'm ready to give it all for the cause!
