Another monumental cock up in the transfer market by Rodgers. This lad looked to have a lot of potential, paid a decent amount for him and we haven't even given him a single second on the pitch.
This is one (another thing) that frustrates me currently about the running of the club, there seems no joined up thinking in the structure
I've been critical of the manager since the end of last season as I think he is at best compliant in the lack of direction within the club now
The is this muddy area in terms of who is signing players and that frustrates me. Let's take it that Illori was a (mainly) committee pushed signing, yes Rodgers sits on the committee but by the apparent thought process the signings of Illori and Texieira were pushed by others on that (ill fated ) committee..
So the money spent on them, they come in not really in the managers mind and don't impress during training at all ( we don't know but I'd doubt they are progressing in training to stand out and still never be used) so then the lads sent out on loan here tgere and everywhere to see if he develops ( or simply to get him out the managers hair as he didn't want him) he comes back again and again to the stage where the manager just washes his hands of him and decides he just doesn't want him and the world of football is made aware ( the thought was that he was played in the Everton ressies game to get him a move and not to just get him game time and was reported that there was 100 scouts at the game and he was one being watched)
So then he's actively fu**ed off to whoever will have him.
A waste of money and time that yes we may well get back ( in fee but not wages) but the money could have been spent on another player or an upgrade on a signing that summer he was brought in
From the lads point of view he leaves his native country, is shunted around a couple more countries and now signed by a club who I'm not sure where they plan to use him seeing as he is one of three cbs they have brought in this summer adding to the one they have
We suffer from no distinctive plan and too many cooks throwing ideas in on too many areas of the club
Fucks me off
