KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum official "this seasons squad" thread.

I think that Roy has lost the plot completely. This job is to big for him and I will be surprised if he is still the LFC manager at Xmas 2010.

He has let Nemeth go and now SSN are reporting that Dalla Valle & Alex are also moving to Fulham. Nemeth & Dalla Valle were the 2 highly rated strikers for the future.

He wants to buy Paul Konseky from Fulham who is no better than Insua or Aurelio.

He buys a centre half Wilson when we have Carra, kelly, agger, skrtel, Ayala and the Greek already for those 2 positions.

He lets Aqualini go on loan to Juventus when the player is finally fit and we are lacking in midfield.

Another striker is a priority and we buy Joe Cole.

Roy is out of his depth at this level and we have another disaster of a season in store with him at the helm.

not sure roy is to blame,look to cnuts and probably purslow the snake.

So is Roy basically a yes man and hence he got the job. If that is the case he should drown his head in shame.

No he is not a yes man,rafa had a watertight contract which allowed him to block sales of players.Roys hands are tied somewhat,as would any new man who came in.

roy was certanly hired to bea yes man and as dunk said in the begining of the summer we are being asset striped and we will be down to the bare bones when the yanks have gone id also say purslow and broughton are definatly not helping the situation.

Your wrong carlos,roy or any other manager that we ended up with are in an impossible position ,as wakka said rafa could block sales which would [oops] the owners plans up to asset strip us,which is why i for one didnt want rafa to go.

Agree with everything you say apart from the fact that Joe Cole was free and you can hardly sign a top quality striker for free.

Where has all this come from? Hodgson has been in the job only a few weeks and hasn't found his feet yet. He may not be able to cope with the job but its far too early to say at this stage. I think he was brought in as a cheap option but its not to say he won't succeed. And lets look at who Rafa bought in when he turned up. Remember Josemi and Nunez?

His hands are tied. If he had City's un-limited funds we wouldn't be looking at players like Konchesky who will do just as good a job as Insua. Joe Cole is a top quality player, Aquilani had to go as he's made of straw and needs to get regular football to regain full fitness.

I say get off his back and give him a chance. If he's gone by Xmas then so be it but lets give it more than 2 league and a few cup games first.

this thread just proves my other post is spot on

give the guy a chance before you right him off he,s not done a bad job so far
