Daniel Agger (continued)

[Y.N.W.A.]

Up to £25m - as long as it's cash only deal. Don't want to see AJ go the other way - as has been speculated.

I don't want Johnson as part of the deal so we're in agreement on that one.

No chance we'll pay 25mil fella, at a push I'd say 20mil max.

You have to remember we're a week away from the season starting so we're under enormous pressure to find a replacement which adds a huge premium. Besides you've already had a £20m bid turned down according to reports on both sides.

We may want him at the right price but we're not in need of him at all costs. A point being missed by you and your board.

Same thing on the other side though? Agger is happy to stay and we don't want to sell unless the offer is far too big that it makes it impossible to turn down.

You've made some good valid points. It's my opinion that if this whole saga was left up to Agger alone he would not leave Liverpool. However, why would you not want Adam Johnson? He's a lot better than anything you've got on either flank.

 

[Y.N.W.A.]

£25m sounds about but I don't think our owners will pay that amount. It is just all the speculation stage and if I was envolved with any of City's dealings then we will be bankrupt.

lol, I think it would be near impossible to bankrupt the guys who own you :)

You have to remember though that we aren't desperate, we can move on to other targets and you'll soon buckle.

Part of the reason he hasn't really fitted in at City is because you're looking to move away from the traditional quick pacy wingers. You want intelligent players like Silva (btw My fav player in the league), Aguero, Tevez etc who can all move and interchange and play football together.

Rodgers has the same vision for Liverpool. He may have got lumbered with rubbish like Downing but going forward it's going to be intelligent footballers on the same scale as you're trying to build only for now a level below for us in terms of quality. I don't think Johnson fits that MO.

AJ is not a quick pacey winger,that's what we are looking for.

The point you missed was 'we may want him but we're not in need of him'
That puts us firmly in the box seat.

Believe me, AJ is not that that I have underlined.

 

[Y.N.W.A.]

Fair enough maybe I haven't seen enough of Johnson but he always struck me as someone who doesn't fit in well with other players trying to play football with interchange and movement. I'd always thought his main attributes were that he was direct and pacy.

I think you have a point but Rodgers played with wide players at Swansea and I think he will with you, he loved Sinclair and Dyer on the flanks. If you are going to play with wingers, which only time will tell, then Johnson is a massive upgrade. I'd be gutted if we lost him from our squad, especially if we replace him for a not as good Scott Sinclair.

Injuries aside what's your opinion on Daniel Agger? Is he up there with the best in his position in the world?
