Except jay spearing. You always need a hobbit as a mascot.

That might just be BR's plan.

Bring in a bucketload of quality players on loan 

There is no denying a fit Aquilani is a quality player ,and it seems he's playing out of his skin for Florentina .

WHAT possessed you to resurrect this thread ?
his link with LFC is dead, like the parrot in the Monty Python sketch

Why not ? Its a welcome distraction from reading the repetitive bollocks that comes from the cranks who continually slate Rodgers .

They took AC Milan apart ,and Aquilani was imperious in Florentina's midfield .

it`s relevant when we spent over half of our transfer budget on 2 centre mids (allen, sahin) and at the same time aquilani was released for nothing, and imo aquilani looked far more creative than the pair of them put together.
to be fair to allen when he was played in that screening defensive role when lucas was injured he looked very good but since he`s been pushed further forward and asked to contribute creatively he looks way out of his depth.
aquilani wasnt the strongest but when he got the ball in an attacking position he could see a pass, he had vision, allen just looks to offload it sideways and backwards even on the edge of the opposition box.

aqualani would easily have bagged half the goal chances our front men have missed this season and although he wasnt the hardest he was still stronger than sterling,suso and sahin and would have improved the squad.
i thought he was our best player preseason and looked like he wanted to be here but most will probably say he didnt. his contract was basically ripped up and he was allowed to leave when he could have been kept as a squad player.we gained nothing but a weakened squad letting him go.
allen in fairness has played a lot of football and probably does need a rest as he did play 44 games last season and then the olympics and straight into our season where he has played most games. i think he is a decent little player but again we overpaid and it would be hard to ever see him leaving here for a profit. the deal for sahin was ridiculous and worse seen as he's a bench warmer.
there are no football people making decisions at this club and havent been for a long time so maybe having a dof wouldnt have been such a bad thing after all.
there needs to be a proper board set up asap because we are our own worst enemy when it comes to buying and selling players.

Aquilani would have six months off for the task of kicking a ball. He wouldnt have scored those goals, he would add to the wage bill and the medics bill. The guy, whatever way you look at it, is fragile as f*ck.

However, we have Downing...

By christ we have made some cr*p signings....

And I wouldn't have needed to get off my bike either! 

Aquilani is the one that got away, and no amount of ***** about him being made of glass or a hypochondriac will change the fact that he is a class player and we are crying out for someone like him.

Aquilani was not released for nothing. Aquilani was sold for £7m and did not want to be in England - SIMPLES !!  I don't understand why people keep going on about him. He was an expensive injury prone mistake.
