fair play mate, but do you agree that this rumour is somthing we can do without! cause to say he would be a great replacement for alonso is very scary. mate iv'e read peoples opinions on parker an most of them i just think that i won't get into a debate about it cause their is not detailed reason why they think that his signing would improve our team if it would happen. let alone why he would be an ideal signing at any price... free transfer or not he would still get a wage at LFC that IMHO wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on! i really don't rate him an still say it would be a signing of no improvement,let alone un-motivate ressy players that could an should be part of our future.
i strongly believe that ressy players at this moment in time & in the past,especially on pre-season tous look up to an find insperation with playing along side the likes of alonso, gerrard etc. it raises their game, gives them motivation, belieif that they can make it as plans for the benefit ofeveryone involved in their development etc.
bringing someone like parker would be a step backwards in motivation etc as he is certainly not someone who would inspire any qualities in that resect.
in our history players that have been in our ressy teams have always looked up to,respected & as a result got the continued confidence an belief that they are good enough to play in the first team. they stayed motivated even when big money signings where made. the best example i will ever give is Gary Gillespie.
it took him years to get a regular first team place, but even as a big money signing in the day, he proved that he was worth every penny,cause he had natrual ability that eventually shined through,an wasn't un motivated by so called cheap or free signing that for me jepordised his progression.
i'm very upbeat an possitive about our future success we will achieve,but concerned that it may disupted if the likes of parker are signed. (i love that saying-if it ain't broke,don't fix it)
however if the fecking worse case sernario is alonso is sold,then firstly it will make my anger towards tw1t & tw@t even more concrete. secondly replace him with like for like quality, which parker is no where near.
so thirdly sums it up for me, cause as i say at this moment in time there is no one out there that matches this anyway.
