From what I've gathered from reading the media etc, and posts on here, Milan Baros is out of favour with Rafa, and he looks set to leave very soon.

i don't think this is a good idea. I've never seen a player turn defenders on a sixpence with the ball glued to his feet the way Milan does....No one!

He runs his socks off, and was top scorer in Euro 2004. That speaks volumes. You have to remember this was his first full season getting a regular game, since the depressive ways of Gerard Houllier and Heskey the year before, so he needs more time.

Ok, he needs shooting practise, and more vision, but this is something that can be addressed on the training ground.

Cisse has yet to prove himself, and morientes has a question mark over him too. only time will tell.

I mean, can any of you tell me who we are gonna replace him with? Tell me that! only Henry, Del piero, Shevchenko, van Horseface are arguably better. and I doubt we are gonna get something of that quality.

Peter Crouch?? Do me a f*****g favour, the guys a lanky streak of p*ss.

Big Mistake to let him go.
:help

decent post although I am not in total agreement. Could this not have gone in the existing Baros thread though?

What can I say?When the manager dislikes you,just leave.But seriously,Baros hasn't played for 90 minutes for quite some time.It would be best if he left.

by **RedorDead** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 1:24 pm

Disagree, plain and simple. I appreciate that Baros has some skill and offers some good things but to say that only those four strikers could replace him is ridiculous. There are dozens of better strikers throught Europe. You are telling me Baros is better than Ronaldo? Owen? E'to? Adriano? Makaay? Raul? Even Luque who we have been linked with.....Baros is very one dimensional and I for one do not consider his sale a mistake.

He runs his socks off

And this running is useless because it provides rarely something.

was top scorer in Euro 2004

And a low scoring striker in EPL. Why hasn't he provided for us what he does for his national team ??

You have to remember this was his first full season getting a regular game, since the depressive ways of Gerard Houllier and Heskey the year before, so he needs more time.

Yep, we can wait for him to reach 30 and then maybe he'll wake up and start to score goals. As one fine member of this forum said, why not to buy Fowler in case he's back to his best

Ok, he needs shooting practise, and more vision, but this is something that can be addressed on the training ground.

He should have these skills already at his age not to develop them while playing in L'pool.

Cisse has yet to prove himself, and morientes has a question mark over him too. only time will tell.

IMO I think we'll have many more goals from Cisses skills and Morientes experience than from Baros.

only Henry, Del piero, Shevchenko, van Horseface are arguably better

You must be kidding, or You're thomases cousin

I doubt we are gonna get something of that quality

I belive Rafa has big plans this summer and his got vision of the team and Baros isn't in them. We'll get some great striker, believe in Rafa and his sixth sense

Only Del Piero, Schevchenko, van Nistlerooy are better? Have you ever been to any matches lad? That just bloody laughable. Theres at least 15 strikers in england alone who are far better than Baros i would say. Crouch is probably one of them.

The lads NOWHERE NEAR good enough. Just because he runs around alot and can go past the odd player who over commits himself doesn't make him a great player.

Fowler and Owen in there "first seasons" (AS TEENAGERS ASWELL) Scored 18 and 23 goals. Baros has a pathetic 13. Its not even like he's not had the chances or supply, the lad just doesn't cut it.

Wait a minute.I have enough sense to say that there are many strikers better than Baros.Yay,I find someone more misunderstood than me.

by **Paul C** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 1:43 pm

Baros isn't a LFC type player, he isn't intelligent enough with the ball and plays for himself and not for the fans or the shirt.

You obviously haven't been following football very long......I'd estimate about 48 minutes ago.

by **Adebisi** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 1:59 pm

I think Rafa is getting shot of him because he dropped the European Cup :laugh:

I think we should cash in on him while people think he is better than he really is, he was awesome during Euro 2004 but thats a whole different team, manager, etc. Its not working out at Liverpool and now is a good time to leave.

by **116-1104673748** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 2:07 pm

Yes.He dislikes the boss.The boss dislikes him.There is no better requirement for moving.Even if he is Pele,he should leave if he is unhappy.Benitez did give him many chances.

by **LiverpoolFan00** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 2:09 pm

There are many better strikers than Baros around. He doesn't score enough, his runs often lead to nothing. He is not good enough for LFC. Better to sell him now while we will get a decent price for him

1 goal in 20 games. Better than Torres, Ibrahimovich, Eto'o?

Shame on rafa

WHAT? After all Baros' comments to the media about dream moves to Barcelona and complaining of being substituted he deserves to be sold. Rafa shouldn't have to take his moaning. As for running his socks off, he may as well be running his socks off up and down the line cos that's what it's worth to the team. And, it's not about shooting practise, either you're composed and can keep your head in front of goal or you can't and, unfortunately, Baros can't. What about Peter Crouch, does he play for LFC? NO! Has he scored more goals in the league than Baros? YES! But that's irrelevant. Bottom line is, Baros is not worth keeping

I think someone has been playing FIFA 2005 and CM4 on the easiest settings with Baros as first choice striker. :rasp

However I do think Baros is worth 1 more season. In case he bings his international form with him back to Anfield. Remember Cisse was out for most of the season, and he played lone striker for a lot of games, which is a tough ask for anybody. (might explain his lack of a full game).

Does anyone think Garcia learning to be a full-time stiker is a good idea? Would it be worth a try? He seems to be able to get the ball free a fair bit. However, I haven't seen as many games as I would have like since I'm in Australia and the timezones suck.

by **Lando_Griffin** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 3:19 pm

Baros is NOT worth keeping. He wants to be the top dog, but his performances regarding goals is abysmal! He runs around alot, generally into the flanks then cuts inside. And... :censored:

all!!! His finishing is worse than Djimi's!!!! We need a striker who will bury the one on ones, not tap it into the arms of the keeper, or smack it wide. Maybe he does get more of these chances cos of his running, but whats the point? He seldom scores from these positions. ("oooh, what about watford...blah blah, blah" - frickin' watford!!!! - dont even suggest that match!!!!!) He is NOT a top class forward, he's 3rd rate regarding finishing, awareness and team spirit, his attributes are not strong enough to disguise his weaknesses, and all in all, he should fack off to Lyon, to join up with Houllier (who Baros was slagging off even more than Rafa.) He's a silly self-centred tart, and the sooner his ego is removed, the better.

PS.I bet there are almost 60 strikers in Europe better than him. :angry:
