KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Maybe Even BR Would Now Prefer To Have a High Pofile DOF

With Suarez gone and now Stevie G too, what is left to persuade developing stars like Sterling to sign long term contracts? Why would an established stars or a potential star chose us over another club?

Does BR have enough of a reputation to swing things our way? I suspect not. Maybe he needs help from a figure recognised throughout Europe - someone who can attract talent to the club.

Like who?

Johan Cruyff would be ideal... I doubt he'd come, but you get my drift. I'd be happy with someone like Cruyff being the inspirational figurehead promoting a particular style of quality football whilst BR is left in peace to implement it.

You never know... he might be tempted by the prospect of taking on Van Gaal. If we had the nouse we'd at least try.

I was thinking that with the difficulties he's having at the moment, even BR might see that he could do with some help and support from someone like Cruyff.

Rodgers didn't want one when he came so can't see him wanting one now.

Personally, I'd scrap the committee and let Rodgers have full control of transfers. See if it really is him 'wasting' our money or not. If he is then sack him. If not leave him alone to get on with it.

I don't understand what does this have o do with SC leaving the club.

The same Cruyff who said Barca should sel messi

who's SC? you mean SG? SG was guiding light, an inspiration to the players. he is also an internationally recognised player of A1 quality. even if players didn't recognise or respect BR they at least had SG. but now that he'll be gone...

Of course SG. My point is that if we need a DOF, then we need him irrespective of whether SG is here or not.

Sterling is gone kids, that's a done deal in the next year.
