KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Illori to Aston Villa on loan with option to buy.

If they trigger his release clause and he doesn't wanna come back specially if he does good than we would've fvcked up again.

I just hope he comes good

That's the chance you take I guess. Works the other way too. He could do awful and they don't want him? But at least if he's awful he's doing it there not here in an area we're shitte anyway.

In any case it another waste of money and don't understand how such decusions can keep on going unsanctioned.

It's probably because it's sanctioned by FSG or the committee and not the manager otherwise why would he still be here? Plus, if he proves to be good, I'm sure there's a way we can keep him and we'll have a decent defender.

But if he does well, we may not get a chance to have him because the option to buy will mean we have to sell him to Villa - or am I off the mark? The option to buy is the bit I don't understand. Quite honestly, with the dubious form of our CBs, his chances of game time here are surely quite good - or is he that poorly rated?

The loan of Markovic is a potential disaster because we have precious little in the way of winger options already. The whole transfer policy is a mess. As someone else said, for all the money spent Crystal Palace and Swansea look like they have better composition than LFC. Our scouting/recruitment has to be at the heart of the problem. You can't really place the whole thing at BR's door - unless he's chief of scouting.

I also wonder (and Mario's signing made me think this the more so) if our signing of higher profile players is designed to pander to the fans that are perceived to wish for marquee signings, even when cheaper alternatives are identified - such as those that go to Swansea and Palace etc. I didn't understand our sale of Shelvey. He could have done a job for us and is now looking at England call up, having had his game refined at Swansea.

I'm not saying the manager should be sacked but those who have been wasting so much money, not only on Ilori. I can't see FSG deciding on who to buy as they are no experts in this area, but of course it's their employees doing that, manager and/or committee. Those should have been sacked.

I watched one game of his in that under 21 tournament and he seemed like a player. Wasn't ever given a chance here, now maybe the staff in training can see he ain't good enough but Lovern,Sahko and Skrtel have all been given chance after chance. Why not keep him ,play him in League cup and europa and see how he does for us. Crap from us.

FSG aren't going to sack themselves or their yes men are they?

I watched one of his games in France last season and I thought he was pretty shitte. At fault for the other teams first and arguably for their second too. One game doesn't give you enough to make a proper judgement on whether he's good enough or not.
