KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Nemeth wants to quit the REDS

there's never any guarantees in football....

i don't know if we have any talents who are equally good as rodwell or even better, but i do think the only way to find out if that's the case is by giving some of them the chance to prove their qualities in the first team.

no doubt they have been given their chance in training and in reserves, and perhaps something has shown up at those times to suggest they are not ready. TBH noone can be sure.
He is however trying unproven youngsters at present even though they didnt come thru the youth system, so he is open to new talent, and he has also recently cited his interest in improving the youth squad and getting some quality players through.
its not like he's just pulling in big money players and not giving a toss about the youth system. i'd say we will get a proper idea about raffa's approach to the youth system over the next couple of years.

yea i hope the changes within the academy will turn out to be a good thing, because our youth system has been as good as dead for the last 10 years...

rodwell is top class - he is certainly good enough to play for us ...... have my doubts about gosling though lol

oh and as for your comment about the manager being closer to the action that's not strictly true but i will let it slide ...... rafa isn't all that involved in the youth side of things at the club - he was heavily involved at real madrid but i have to ask what good he did? i am asking a serious question before you think i am just bitching at rafa - only in recent years their youth system has produced no one but is that because they have made changes since rafa's time? or is it still as he left it and he made a mess of it?? i am not sure to be honest

oh and one more thing - to produce a regular number of good kids you have to give them hope of a future in the game - our kids don't have that!

so this is arguing about something neither of us is close enough to to understand. at least it passed my day in work.

i'd say madrid hve sod all interest in youth no matter who is in charge, rather they like to buy in big names that sell shirts.

raul shifted more shirts for them than most of their big name signings - they desperately want a new raul

who doesn't. ;-)

damn rafar you almost sound like me there lol .... i am constantly disgusted with the state of the coaching at the club - for instance carragher - i have played with and against him in street matches etc and i can tell you the boy has got far more skill than you get to see on the pitch BUT i don't see a player who is improving there - he doesn't look any better now than he did 3 years ago - he should still have years left before his lack of pace becomes a problem but it clearly is a problem this season ...... the right coaching allied to his experience should allow him to overcome his weaknesses

same with gerrard - i remember him as a kid and just how good he was ..... never liked the lad but what a player! he always stood out above the rest, always had the potential to be the best in any position he decided to play ...... but what i see these days is a player who is still at that level ...... top class but not built on his potential ....... he should be head and shoulders above every other player in our squad (and i do include torres in that) yet he isn't ..... he has never made the improvements to his game he should have

bringing back sammy lee was not a good move imo - he is a very poor coach from what i have seen .... putting aside his time at bolton as it is unfair to judge him on that, but during his spells as a coach with us i have yet to see any players improving ..... in fact i am hard pressed to think of one player we have brought into the club in recent years that has made an improvement!

This article presumably translated from Greek from someone who hardly talks Greek & have probably changed the words so it makes it look he wants to sign for AEK. Don't take notice of this sort of clip unless you heard or seen him talking in an interview.

you do have a point there emp. sometimes it feels like there's no room for creative players like benayoun. i think you need a good mix of hard working players and flair players and if you take a look at our team we have plenty of "kuyts" but not enough of "benayouns"....
