KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum who do you want out?

We've had the thread about who you want in. But who do you want out? We need a team with balance, passion and skill just a few things to consider.

Anyone who makes it quite obvious he really couldn't give a toss.

That'll be Babel then.

Skertel, konchesky, kuyt, maxi, lucas, poulson, babel and most of all Woy

Everybody regarding football team but Pepe, Agger, Stevie, Raul, Cole, Torres and the young ones

I want Cliff Richard and Prince Edward to come out.

So we go buy half a 1st eleven plus a new bench? Granted some players barely cut it as being starters but they could still be useful as backups.
Of the above, I think only babel n poulson needs to go.

Hodgson. He's the one causing the damage. The players can only hurt us if they're picked.

Roy.


Of the players: Poulsen and Babel are the only two I never want to see in LFC red again. The others, while perhaps not the absolute best, at least have some merit. Kuyt (tireless, works hard for the team, always gives 100% - these attributes are rare in the modern footballer, so that makes him a fantastic squad player), Lucas (also always gives 100%, has the odd fantastic game, only known quantity at DM in the squad), Konchesky (PFK jokes aside he's a decent enough squad player in a position where we have no one [not first choice, so I still have reservations about signing him, but now that we have him I wouldn't say 'get rid' just yet), Maxi (last season he wasn't the rubbish player he'd been until this weekend, which simply suggests he was being managed incorrectly).

I will agree that we have a team that is mainly people who are only really good as squad players (ie used in rotation, weaker league teams, cup games against weaker sides or if we've already won on the strength of the first leg), but that doesn't mean we need a fire sale. In Jan we need to go all out for top signings - left winger, LB. I'm going to say it again, we don't need another striker, especially if it's Carlton Cole (between N'Gog, Kuyt and Jovanovic we have cover of similar enough quality, but these players [or at least the first two anyway] will die for the shirt).

My first order of business would be to get Insua back. If Johnson is good enough on the right, then he is definitely good enough on the left (just don't play them together if we expect the opposition to compete on the flanks). I'd take his assists over Johnson any day, especially since we have Kelly.

Speaking of loans - I would then either sell or request the return of Aquilani (and then put the guy on the pitch all the time). Between Cole, Gerrard, Meireles, Aquaman, Shelvey, and Suso we would have a formidable central midfield unit of depth and youth.

INSUA back?!!

Tell me you are 'avin' a bloody laf?

The flamin' pigeon that fell from the stand onto the touchline a couple of years ago was more entertaining and useful than that waste of space.

You seem to underestimate how dire we are at left back. Insua is not the best LB in the world, I know. We need all hands on deck, and frankly if Johnson can get a regular start then so can he because he at least brings something when he goes forward (a threat down the left which is something completely absent at LFC), while Johnson does little in attack or defense. He's not an automatic starter, but he's not as bad as you suggest.
