KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Teixeira and Ilori

Not good enough yet and there's a strong chance they will never be good enough. Brendan doesn't appear to rate them. When asked about signing another centre back at his press conference, he said they didn't need another and listed our current centre backs but omitted Ilori. Teixeira was used sparingly on the tour - just enough to attract other clubs' interest.

The big question is should they be sold or loaned out?

I would keep both, but it isn't a secret that Rodgers has placed ilori on the transfer list and he's tried to get rid of tex for a good year now

Keep tex, ilori

And sell lovren Allen and give their squad numbers to the above two

BR sometimes, well most of the time frustrates and infuriates me, when it comes to giving certain individuals a fair chance. These players were playing regular football and highly rated at their previous clubs and jumped at the chance to play for LFC, but BR always have a way of making them feel like outcasts.

What a shocker! Spicey was making shitte up!

The fact is, we know very little about most of these fringe players - certainly not as much as the managers that work with them every day.

If Suso was as good as some people imagine, then why have the likes of Rodgers, Dalglish, Hodgson & Inzaghi only managed to give him 18 games in total in the last 3 years?!?! Surely this puts the Suso myth to bed?

Good post this, although I would add that managers do have there favourite players who seem to be involved in the match day squad no matter what their form.

True and that's exactly what we saw last season with players who were crap on match day but still started every game.

It happens everywhere though. A lot of players are picked on reputation not form. The England team has always been very bad for that IMO, especially with Sven.
