My mum was saying that Thomo commented on Baros yesterday on Gillete Soccer Saturday, aparently he said mentioned that Baros does tend my sulk and have little paddies, anyone see him say that?

Very much so Paul , you only have to look at his body language on the pitch to see that. He's like a spoilt child at times

Didn't see it, but why would Thompson lie?

by **Dalglish** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 8:23 pm

You don't have to take Phil thompson's word for it , just watch Baros on the pitch.

I hope he goes in the close season, there I've said it !

He will be one of only a few players we have ever transferred where we get a decent fee (circa £8M) and its obvious he isn;t prepared to play secong fiddle. Perhaps going to a "smaller" club may afford Milan Baros a guaranteed start every game

Anyone interested in him then

by **Dalglish** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 8:32 pm

There will be a few clubs in for him when he becomes available. Obviously with this crazy Transfer system we have at the moment interest doesn't surface until the end of the season.

I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs or even Boro express an interest of the clubs in England.

My money's on Villa of all the english sides. One or two of the papers today were saying that Hitzelsperger's off in the summer and you know how O'Leary likes to splash the cash

In all honesty Im 50/50 on whether to sell him. I keep on thinking he's a really good player to have in the squad but its his behaviour that unsettles me. Will this have a determination on his price and what club he goes to?

Im not that bothred however about selling players that have a strop as I do thing RB will turn the club round but not without falling out with some players. But he cant do that now with the season nearly over and the strength of the squad.

I expect some changes in the summer SG instigated or not.

I like Baros always defended him But who am i the manager knows best besides resless players are not good for team moral and god knows they need it so i say if he can't stop sulking ship him out.

by **Woollyback** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 8:47 pm

I think that essentially there are 2 kinds of players. Firstly there are the "spoilt brats" who whinge and moan and want to leave if they're not picked 1st every game, secondly there are the "workers" who focus their mind on being good enough to warrant that 1st choice status, full stop. Players who work that bit harder on the training ground to force their way back into the team on merit, not via blackmail

The jury's still out on Baros as far as I'm concerned but I know which type of player I'd rather have in the squad and I'd bet my bottom dollar Rafa has no patience with any player who falls into the first category

The question is if he goes, who comes in to replace him or do we stick with Nando, Cisse, Pongo & Mellor? I would say even if all 4 are still with the club next season and stay fit we still need another proven striker in the squad

We should look for like 12m, and if that then we'd be getting a good deal. He was the Euro 2004 top scorer after all.
He has been a bit dissapointing this season, a few injuries and never managing to score regularly. He has the potential to be very good but we just can't seem to get it out of him, let Benitez get some money and pick who he wants.

by **Eazy-E** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 9:46 pm

I hope Baros stays. He is a very good player. I think Benitez will try and keep him because you have to keep good players.

by Tobin*LFC* » Sun Mar 06, 2005 9:48 pm

i also hope he stays. he just needs to curb his attitude a bit..very good player for us i think.

by **Dalglish** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 9:48 pm

No one is doubting he is a good player Easy. The debate is whether he is the right kind of team player we need at Liverpool Football Club.

If a player is allowed to throw his rattle out of the pram on the rare occasions he is subbed or dropped then you have anarchy in the team and we might as well all go home

by Tobin*LFC* » Sun Mar 06, 2005 9:51 pm

like i said in my last post he needs to curb his attitude a bit. otherwise he will turn out like a craig bellamy and get disliked by nearlly every team and nobody will want him...agree??
