KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is Rodgers in control?

"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza of pie, that’s Amore"
I have said more than once on this forum that I believe in cost control and good all round management. There is no contradiction between that and competing effectively in the transfer market for the quality you need in order to close the quality gap on your competitors, quite the contrary. I’m sure it’s obvious to most on here that those teams with the highest quality are the teams that most regularly finish at the top of the heap.
If you accept that, then you might also accept that failure to compete in the transfer market for the required quality, when those above you are adding quality is very likely to leave you at best, where you currently stand and at worst further down the pecking order.
The kind of frugality that leads to that behaviour is bad management and in the long run can put you out of business.

but a £22 million deal sorry this deal and others like it are not justified and for fans to justify there deals is unbelievable.

You want big name players???
You've got to expect big name wages.

Either go and picket outside the stadium or put it out of your mind. Can't believe the sudden shock reaction, this is hardly anything new.

i want players who are willing to play dont have to be big names and on massive outlandish contracts , its shock reaction to a massive contract , i cant believe he was on this sort of money , ok as i have said a top match winning striker or a midfielder like gerrard or similar who win matches , but to give reina a contract like that only 2 years ago when he was not the goalie he was a few years before is a total scandal , yes we know players get very well paid but £22 million over 4 years just unbelievable no wonder the club has no big money to spend .

OK so look at it this way. New keeper comes in at £60k a week? Don't know just guessing on that one. But does any club seriously pay £170k a week to its number one and number two keeper.

Only one can play at a time. And neither of them can actually win you a game unless he takes a penalty or scores with a freak clearance. Even if he saves a penalty to ensure you get 3 points ultimately goals win games.

This is a good move. One for the long term future with Mignolet coming in.

We wish Reina well and hope he has a great season as this will add to his value when the inevitable sale occurs.

Is Rodgers in control on this one? Does it matter?

So many people are clamouring for big name signings and you look at Man U. Moyes is having nothing to do it seems with getting Fabregas so you can't have it both ways.

I think though he has played a blinder in the Suarez situation saying or hinting that he could be sold for the right price. Now that puts the bait up there for Suarez to put in the request and for the likes of Arsenal to put their money where their mouth is.

I am sure that one more player will come in regardless of what happens in that situation. There may be 3 more in if he goes.

But Reina has been making noises about moving on for a while now - had we not signed Migs, we might have been left with no keeper at all.

I'd much rather the situation we have now, to be honest.
