Liverpool Football Club - The Rumour Mill

what winger isn't hit and miss? I guess you could say somebody like Kuyt plays pretty much the same every time out, but i don't think that is the type of player people want. Nobody out there is beating their man every time and puting in inch perfect crosses, just seems like the nature of the position.  Would he adapt to the premiership is a fair question, but I think over time he would come good

As for Silva, the most recent game I saw him play was one or two games ago, can't remember who it was against, but he was poison....absolute cack...

What you mean Spanish Footie mate? Arda plays in Turkish Super League.

Personally I would prefer Ribery to Silva on the left with Riera as backup but I would still be happy with Silva.

For the right I thnk Maxi Rodrigues would be a worthy signing and more of a Raffa type player but he is Athletico's captain so may be hard one to sign

seriously never heard of him and cannot even remember him  playing against us or in the last euro championships for turkey ....... i am thinking if i have seen a player a few times and i cannot remember him that means he is :censored: lol...... but that is fact....... he must be average and nothing special probably why he is not on any clubs radar and he stills plays in the :censored: poor turkey league

What's your thinking on Maxi Rodriguez for the elusive right wing?

I don't think there are that many true quality young "naturally right footed" wingers

I don't really see what is so important about youth anyways. If a signing last more than 2 years, that is a success. I'd rather buy someone with experience that works out really well for a couple years, and then reinvest in the position again when that player leaves. Obviously we couldn't afford to do that in every position, but right wing has been a problem area for so long that it seems a bit unrealistic to find the solution for the next decade this summer.

The thing about youth is when you sell them it's ussually for similar price or more. Also if your recruiting and scouting is good you find players before they are discovered.

You'll never get a Ronoldo, Torres, Messi or Fabergas if you only buy older proven players.

Sanli Tuncay is a good player. I reckon he would want a move away aswell after the season Boro have had and they may even get relegated.
