Just thinking of our midfield options and they aren't the best whilst thinking of other clubs, hopefully we get aqua back and he finds his form like he was at the end of last season, RM-Kuyt CM-Meireles CM-Gerrard LM-Cole
AM-Aqua ST-Nando ; not a bad midfield when you think of it smile

The feller is sh1t, no doubts about it and at times he was an embarassment as how out of depth he was trying to cope with the physical not to mention pace of the english game, he is best suited where he is now, lets just leave him there.

Nono, Reclaim!

It's too soon to judge Aqua! He needs at least until the summer before we cut him out! (The same logic as You apply on our beloved HRH Roy Hodgson)

First bring Aqua back after Christmas (I know it's impossible, due to the contract we have with Juve, but anyway). Then he needs at least a full season before we decide whether he's good enough for us.

If we don't give him this time, it's not FAIR. As You know everything is about FAIRNESS! We're talking about the Liverpool Way now. We always give players and managers plenty of time to melt in (or fail)!

Actually we never gave Aqua that much time! He got just a handful of matches in a row under his belt last spring, and then we loaned him out!

I think you will find a player only has to look after himself and what he does on the pitch, with a manager he is respnsible for many things he has no power over which is a much harder task. The problem with Aqualani is he was just not cut out for the english game, he was far to weak and never had the mental strenghth to deal with what the Premier League throws at you, he just never improved at all or looked like he would adapt. Having said that he is not the first player with a decent reputation in another country to be found out as you only have to look Shevchenko, Crespoe and Ballack at Chelsea or Veron at United.

I watching Juve play Fiorentina about a week ago, and Aqua had rather a quiet game. He was less influencial than the other midfielders. He's a nice player but a little inconsistant.

i think we should sell him while he's holding a decent transfer value in italy. not part of the plans really. didnt he used to wear the number 4 shirt before we signed raul meireles? i don't think he's cut out for the prem and i don't think he has a lot to offer our squad. he was signed to replace alonso but they are completely different midfielders. probably the worst signing the club has ever made. get rid. he is just another number on the rather large "dead wood" pile at lfc. would be made up if we got £8m to £10m for him

If we can get 15mill for him in Jan from Juventus, I would take it. The money can be invested in another player now.

I too think Aqua may be revealed as being too weak for PL!

But my point is that if we want to do it the LFC Way, then it's just too early to sack him at this point!

Sack him if You want then, but let Roy be measured by the same criterion!

As You say: The task is much easier for the players than for the manager. This means we need to put more emphasis on the managers' development than on the players. In other words: Roy out ASAP!

I am sure that when the loan deal was agreed, a transfer price was also agreed and it wasnt less than 10mill !!!!!
