KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum where will sahin fit in?

That my friend, is a bigger mystery than the creation of the universe.

Agreed, don't understand why we'd be chasing another midfielder in Allen's mold - pretty baffling. I haven't seen much of Sahin play at all so I can't really comment, maybe Rodgers thinks he can play further forward???

Gutted, absolutely gutted Spearing could be on that kind of wage. Like someone said above, ship him out and bring another player in through the ranks.

even bigger than Adam's £10m set pieces.

Maybe he will feel guilty and pay it back

actually its quite the opposite, Allen is the player to replace lucas if its needed. At swansea (and i use this as the example because thats when most of us started noticing him) Allen played the same role lucas is playing now he then moved up to midfield in the later part of the season, Allen biggest attribute is that he reads the game use his speed to attack gaps and can tackle well. Sahin doesnt do alot of tackling hes a xabi alonso type of player calm keep the ball moving quickly picking out the right passes, he doesnt really fling the tackles all over and break up the opponents plays.If Sahin is bought to fill the gap when stevie cant play which we expect alot of this season. He flopped at RM because hes competing against xabi and ozil for a spot which is next to impossible. RM is looking to replace xabi which is the reason for the modric interest. Anyways we wont see Sahin in lucas position if we get him, more so Allen drop deep and Sahin takes Allen position

what point are you trying to make? because this has no relevance to jay spearing and liverpool what so ever. its dependant on the promise of the player. the reason this united player earns so much is probably because there was interest from other big european clubs. didnt exactly see real madrid knocking down the door to sign jay at any point did you? at the end of the day, your making an estimate and so am i. i still dont believe he is on £30k-£40k per week. not a chance id love to know where people have read that.

gerrard, allen and lucas are the first choice players with spearing, shelvey and henderson playing back up providing that charlie adam is sold. we are going to play 38 games in the premier league plus the europa league and domestic cups. cant really see gerrard playing in all of those games. plus we got caught short last season when lucas was out. so to play in 60 games a season you a going to need strength and depth if you are going to be efficient in all competitions.

sahin will bring quality to this squad. one of the most exciting signings for a long time if we manage to pull it off. he and allen are both players who can pick a pass, create space and have the tenacity to win the ball back in the high pressing manner that rodgers wants us to play.

who knows maybe we could manage to land him at the end of the season in the same way we did with mascherano. plus theres an option to loan out one of our own midfielders if need be. shelvey or henderson could possibly go out on loan and we'd still have decent cover.

id be far more bothered about joe cole's wages than jay spearing or jordan henderson's.

I still don't agree with you either, but the thought of it makes me sick.

You'll probably find Lucas is only on around 40 / 50k

If he is only on £30K per week surely he would qualify for family tax credits
