Liverpool Thread 2012/13

[Matty]

Seeing as people are talking about them signing Huntelaar:


Games Suarez & Huntelaar played together:

Pld: 54 Gls: 72 Ass: 28.

Suarez in those games:

Pld: 54 Gls: 29 Ass: 18.

Huntelaar in those games:

Pld: 54 Gls: 43 Ass: 10.

Record when they scored:

Pld: 42 W: 28 D: 7 L: 7 GF: 118 GA: 58 GD: 60.

You'd have to question why Huntelaar would leave a side like Schelke, constantly challenging near the top of the German league, to go to Liverpool, a team without Champion's League football for some considerable time, and at best fighting for a 4th place finish for the next few seasons, and more likely not even that. Liverpool still think their history and name will be enough to attract footballers. I'd argue no league titles in the last 2 decades, and only 10 trophies in the last 20 years would be a detracting factor. Especially when you consider that 6 of those 10 trophies were English League Cups and UEFA Super Cups (a glorified friendly akin to the Charity Shield). I'd also wager Brendan Rodgers doesn't have the pulling power associated with a big manager.

I agree, I don't think he should go there if he's interested in his career, but as there are rumours it's worth taking a look.

Suso falls foul of Twitter after 'gay' jibe at Liverpool team-mate Enrique

Liverpool starlet Suso could be in hot water after becoming the latest Premier League star to fall foul of Twitter.
The 19-year-old Spaniard sparked controversy with his reply to team-mate Jose Enrique posting a bizarre picture of him getting his teeth whitened.

Suso tweeted: 'What f*** is he doing? This guy is gay... he does everything except play football.'

The Reds midfielder quickly realised he had made a poor error of judgement and deleted the tweet.

He also issued an apology.

Suso's gaffe follows Jen Chang leaving his post as media chief following the Twitter storm with spoof blogger 'Duncan Jenkins'.

Liverpool were forced to apologise to Jenkins, real name Sean Cummins, for the 'inappropriate actions' of Chang, after they met in a Manchester restaurant.

Chang wrongly believed inside information used by Cummins on Twitter had been fed to him by an Anfield mole.

The fan then alleged in a blog that Chang made a series of threats to him, which included revoking his shared season ticket

Not surprised to see huntelaar and Suarez were such a good partnership. They seem a good pairing. If Liverpool have any sense they should probably go all out for huntelaar, the arrogant ****

Liverpool Chose Jordan Henderson Over Gotze

Liverpool Chose Jordan Henderson Over Dortmund Star Gotze

Liverpool briefly considered making a move for Borussia Dortmund starlet Mario Gotze in the summer of 2011, but instead the club chose to pursue and eventually sign Jordan Henderson from Sunderland.



The Times report that former Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish and the club’s former director of football Damien Comolli that the Germany international was briefly considered when the club outlined their summer transfer plans, only to discard his name and push forward with their efforts to bring Henderson to Anfield. Since then, the former Sunderland midfielder has flattered to deceive, struggling to impose himself on Brendan Rodgers’ side, whereas Gotze has continued to prove why he is considered one of the most prodigious talents in world football.



Comolli was appointed Director of football Strategy in late 2010, and working alongside Dalglish, helped the club sign Stewart Downing, Charlie Adam, Sebastian Coates, Craig Bellamy, Jose Enrique in addition to Henderson in the summer of 2011. With the exception of Enrique, Comolli’s dealings have seemingly fallen short of expectation. The Daily Mail also report that Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud and Manchester United playmaker Shinji Kagawa were also targets under Comolli’s tenure, but were overlooked in favour of others.

Perhaps the most controversial comment on Comolli’s time upon Merseyside was the £35 million acquisition of Andy Carroll from Newcastle United, a deal which Comolli still defends.



“If you want to talk about the Carroll deal, the situation was quite clear,” the former Tottenham Hotspur Director of Football said, The Daily Mail report.



“The way we looked at it, we were selling two players – Fernando Torres and Ryan Babel – and we were bringing two in – Suarez and Carroll – and we were making a profit and the wage bill was coming down considerably as well. It was a four-player deal.”



“Chelsea kept bidding higher and higher for Torres. The difference between their first and final bid is double.



“They [FSG] asked me what the risks were and I said if things don’t go well you’ll lose something on Andy, but it is difficult to measure whether you will make money if things go well because Liverpool aren’t a selling club and he could be here for the next 10 years.”
