Apparently the Wigan Defensive midfielder will sign on a free on 1st July.
Liverpool already arranged the deal prior to BR being appointed.
Thoughts guys?
Heard this was rumoured a while back but strange that we'd sign players before manager appointment.
Good player though. And on a free, no real loss if it doesn't work out. But this guy has athleticism and drive that players like Adam will never have and will be strong competition for Lucas!
Good stuff I reckon.
Really want Sigurdsson from Swanselona! That lad is class. And for 6.8m is a no-brainer IMO.
22 years old, athletic, good in the air, great at set pieces and most importantly, a slightly better than 1 in 4 goal a game average!
Just what we need in Midfield!!
Come on you reds!!!!!
If he's a good player that's all that should count. Don't like this thing of gambling on players just cos 'they're free'. It costs the club in wages but also on reputation. Remember Voronin, Jovanovic (and probably others who I won't try to remember to avoid spoiling my day) ?
Furthermore, wearing a Liverpool shirt should be a privilege and anyone one granted the privilege should really have earned the honour.
Today is fresh start. All future purchases should fulfill quality requirements. If they do that and we can afford them then fine. Otherwise, even if they're free, forget it.
