KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Aquilani & letting him go

What was Roy thinking ?
He could've been very useful in midfield along with Gerrard, Cole and Meireles, at least he could've spared us of getting tortured by two out of (Poulsen/Lucas/Maxi) constantly, i don't see him getting games there either however thats why we sent him.
- Thoughts ?
- Is there a way to get him back in January or something ?

There's no guarantee Roy had anything to do with Aquilani leaving; my suspicion is he is a casualty of the wage bill.

No point in having him back because he will just end up being injured half of the season and the other half on the bench.

agreed

i would think he had some say in it.

it was probably a choice between aquaballs or another player and roy chose aqua to go.

Aquilani a 20 million pound flop he did nothing apart from being on the treatment table and sitting in the stand , i honestly don't know were this he is good myth comes from another poor benitez buy from italy along with dossena another record buy to flop .

how can you say a guy that you buy injured plays a couple of games you go through the expense of getting him fit the ship him out. why not give the lad achance then if he is not upto scratch sell him

I think he would of been given a chance if Rafa's Reign continued because it was his player but because a new manager came in he decided to get rid of him. I do agree with you taveman, Its ridicolous how we go through the whole process of reviving him then letting him go.

When i heard the news i was over the moon.
But looking at poulson he can play football just as good.......
I agree he was on high wages and for the games he would play probs worth it to put him on a flight with easyjet to Italy.
We need the cash off him next season..... Not going to get anywhere near the 26m we spent...

But Poulsen wasn't signed to replace Aquilani - he was signed to replace Mascherano. So we lower our wage bill *and* make a profit during the transfer window.

That's significantly smarter financially.
