Emiliano Insua (Juventus; Sporting Lisbon)

Well, I was just looking at the Premier League retained players list and the Premier League free transfers list ... Surprise, surprise ...

whats the surprise?

whats the surprise?

Emiliano Insua is being retained as LFC player, meaning Transfermarkt.de were correct, as usual ...

of course he is, why would we let him go on a free?

People were claiming that he is out of contract this summer ...

And some said we had an extra year. Couldn't you just have stated 'this clears up a point' or are you always going to engage in childish and dickish oneupmanship?

Read what I have just written above ... Then read what you have just written ... Now tell me: Who is starting a childish argument ? Because I am certainly not ...

The surprise, surprise and the inferrence I made from the way you, unnecessarily, added 'as usual 'to the end of your other post.  Nice to sh*t you actially debate the stuff you post for a change, even though most news stories are just that, stories.

Well, if you want an on-topic discussion, here is my view:

Insua is better than Konchesky, healthier than Aurelio and more experienced than Robinson ... Therefore, he is the best left back at LFC, at the moment ...

i agree with that, should have recalled him in jan imo

Surprise, surprise, it certainly comes across like you are.  

Under the present situation I would prefer him back @ the club than to spend 15mill on a average left back.
Surely he is better and has lost some weight since being in turkey.
I always liked him except his weight made him too slow and his inexperience made him too erratic

No loan...if they want him, buy him outright!

He makes Sammy Lee look like he needs a fish supper, Robinson all day for me.

Personally I think we should bring the lad back and give him a chance under Kenny, we've all seen the improvement in the lads since Kenny took over from Roy, perhaps Kenny and Clarke could work some of that magic on Insua.

Wouldn't be a bad second choice at Left Back and most importantly he qualifies as home grown.

I'd bring him back definitely, I thought he did amazingly well for us considering the situation, his age, the shambles of the club at that time, etc. Not a finished article, but worth holding on to.

This.

Robinson all day for me.

Robinson will probably be our starting left back in 2-3 years ... At the moment, he is a under aged even at the Reserves ...

 If we're stuck with him for another year, we haven't got much option I suppose. He's extremely poor (worse than Konchesky by a street IMHO) and as nobody will want him for any kind of fee whatsoever or for the wages he'll be on with us, he'll no doubt wait until his contract runs out then go sign for Hibernian or someone of that ilk.

Agreed. The lad isn't bad at all. A year away for a young lad will have done him the world of god imo.

One word for this fella - Useless

One word for this fella - Useless

You not think Kenny & Clarke could make a decent second choice LB out of him mate ?
