the way i see it..the reason we sold aquilani was
1.charlie adam(one of the best mid fielders last season)
2.henderson(one of the best young mid fielders)
3.gerrard
4.meireles(one of our best player last season)
5.lucas
6.spearing
after having all these options why would some one keep quilani who is/was famouse forbeing injury prone...and very light weight.
2. Has done nothing this season to justify his price tag, Shelvey is still better
3. No brainer but has figured less than the "injury prone" Aquilani LOL.
4. SOLD because the club didnt give him his promised increase (he was one of lowest paid players at the club)
5. happy with that
6. too funnyHe's famous for being injury prone is he? Who says? He's not famous at all for that, he was signed while injured and people latch on because they read nonsense on the internet spouted by others and take it as gospel. I've watched him play during his loans while at Liverpool and he looked fine on the pitch, I didn't see no stretchers, pots, bandages or crutches when he was delivering lovely balls AND why is he lightweight? I've never seen him laid flat out following a bit of wind  but we didnt know all these when we sold aquilani..did we? we didn't know adam would be god awful or meireles would be sold. but yes, we knew all the other points.

Out of all the signings, we were confident about Adam and Downing.
How wrong we were, they've all let us down. Except for Bellerz and JOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ENRIQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

i thought aquilani simply wasnt suited to the english gme. never did anything to prove me otherwise. he was a lightweight. if i was to choose between selling him or raul meireles i would choose aquilani everytime
Luis Garcia, He drinks sangria
He came from Barca, to bring us Joy
He's five foot seven, he's football heaven
please don't take my Luis away.

I agree 100% with everything you've said Dunk, although I've got a lot less patience with regards to Dalglish! ..If I was in charge, he'd be "moved upstairs", sent back to the academy or just fired before the weekend

Good read.
I look back at Rafa's last season with those horrible owners, with bad results and when Kenny and the new owners arrived everything turned positive however I am ashamed that we are some what back to where we were 2 years ago. We are looking at the prospect of brining in a new manager, looking at the prospect of signing even more players even after the 100m spent last summer, it just kills me to bits thinking about this especially while looking at other clubs who are progressing nicely and at a steady pace (Newcastle, Tottenham, etc). I will admit that I love Rafa and I enjoyed his reign as a fan with all those great memories, the wonderful signings etc but are we letting sentiment cloud our judgement once again by letting a former manager walk in again? I really am not sure, I just hope we land the right candidate whether we keep Kenny, sign Rafa or sign any other manager.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

i honestly thought i was the only lfc supporter out there that had the same views about aquilani kk and rafa. i never wanted rafa to go, i knew that season if he was there we would get back to champion league. i also know after that embarassing season of finishing 6th he was frustrated with the resources he was dished out to use and placed his job on the line to either get it or step down. i wasnt a great fan of kk, but he did well and had to give him his chance he deserved it after pulling through that rough patch.

Thanks for the views Dunc.
What I take from your extensive post:
Commoli responsible for the sanction of ludicrous £35 million Carroll transfer. Let's be clear a lot of us will never get past this alone under KK. Don't think he'd be under anywhere near the pressure that he is if this bit of business had never taken place.
Your reference to criticism of any LFC manager and crossing the line. The absolutely disgraceful lack of respect which ironically those who spout on a daily basis here, have all conveniently chosen to overlook except Heggy.
Raffa's reign well critiqued and hopefully a more balanced viewpoint from the hang him brigade going forward who certainly couldn't see a priest on a mountain of sugar.
Aquilani another disastrous transfer debacle losing millions. He had a great pre-season (watched every game) and there was nothing light weight about him in those outings that's for sure.

Good point, but be honest even though you don't like him much as a player, henderson does try to play like this also.
just does work out for him.
