Rodgers was responsible for Balotelli, Rodgers was responsible for Alberto Moreno, Rodgers was responsible for Luis Alberto, Rodgers was responsible for Lazar Markovic. They were signed while he was the manager, so therefore I don't give a f*** whether or not he personally went to watch them, it's HIS responsibility as HE was the manager.
Similarly, Rodgers was responsible for Sturridge, Coutinho, Firmino, Can, Sakho etc. Same reason as above. Obviously he was also responsible for Lovren, Clyne, Lallana, Gomez, Ings, Benteke etc.
The King was responsible for Andy Carroll and Charlie Adam, similarly he was responsible for signing Luis Suarez. That's the way it is, and that's the way it'll be with Jürgen too as far as I'm concerned. Nice and simple that way.
The sooner we realise as a club that we must properly back our manager and leave HIM to decide on transfer targets, as well as how much of our budget for both wages and fee he assigns to each one, the better.
