      Don't forget Heighway,Hall and Jimmy Case and the best of the lot Roger Hunt and quite a few others as well.
      Thanks God some of our current fans weren't around when we signed the likes of Keegan, Rush, Clemence, Rob Jones etc etc.

      Of dont forget he Fowlers Owens McManamans Carraghers Gerrards that came through direct from  the club because we didnt go and buy average players in there position instead of giving them there chance

      As I said Brian there was so many others as well Gerry Byrne,Ronnie Moran,Roy Evans and lots more that never cost us a cent.here we go again Callaghan.Lawler,Tomy Smith,enough reminiscing back to Alex Pearce.

      Whilst I understand this "it will hinder Kelly's and Wisdom's development" argument it needs to be made clear that if Wisdom is used as back up we then need a back up right back and plus we can't rely on Kelly all the time due to his injury record in the past couple of years. If Pearce comes in as 4th choice then I won't argue, Kolo will be 3rd choice and then bring in a quality centre back to partner Agger.

      BUT...

      I don't want us to sign Pearce as 3rd choice because then it means Kolo would be our first team centre back and I don't think he is good enough for the quality that we need.

      Despite the pic of him with Ian Ayre, I'm told #LFC have absolutely no interest in signing Alex Pearce.

      That would be a relief, it really did make absolutely no sense, despite people trying to justify it.

      Interesting stuff coming from Barrett and Pearce. I have my doubts as to the accuracy of those comments, mainly due to the photo and the tweet from Alex Pearce's supposed cousin, which was later removed.

      If he did sign, surely it would be as a replacement for Coates, no?

      Maybe he's getting rattled by Ian Ayre then.

      Is Rodgers some sort of secret agent, determined to bring Liverpool Football Club down, one mediocre player at a time?  and then managing to keep people confused by signing one good player for every 4 sh*te ones?

      "Haha!  I will sign Allen and Borini and Sigurdsson and Dempsey and Pearce, then one Coutinho---then I'll tell them it's a 'work in progress,' they'll believe it, then I'll sign Ashley Williams, Scott Sinclair, and Leon Britton, then they'll get relegated, I'll get sacked, get a huge pay-off, and off I go!"

      You've clearly not read the rest of this thread re. players we've signed in the past who've went on do great things for the club. Think that post was just a tad uncalled for and just a ramble.

      Even as a source of cheap humour you're getting worse mate, you can do better than that. Keep trying though.

      Having said that I've never seen Pearce play, and if I did I cant remember it
      The part in bold may hold the clue Si.

      but how many posters here have actually watched him on a regular basis?
      Not too many, I would have thought, Diego. Then again, even Reading fans didn't get to see him too often this season.

      I guess you could look at that two ways - #1 (Glass half empty): if he couldn't command the starting role in that defence he must be sh*te or... #2 (Glass half full): Reading's defence was sh*te because they didn't pick him enough and the two managers [McDermott & Adkins] were ball-bags for leaving him out.

      Like Si, I will have seen him (highlights only, admittedly) on both the 'Football League Show' and 'Match Of The Day' but I just can't remember him.

      This is a low risk signing.  If he is no good Liverpool won't have trouble releasing him when he was free.

      Yep, and either way there's plenty of reason to be skeptical about the signing. I just don't get people strongly opposing the signing of a player they've hardly watched. Not sure about Pearce? Me neither, and it does sound strange. But who knows? I only judge players I actually watch.

      Have to admit this isn't a signing that excites me.

      One way to look at it, is that if we get him free and on low wages, it will be a good addition to the squad.

      Another way to look at it, is that if we get him, it may mean he is replacing Skrtel and he may end up playing quite a bit. And that scares me.

      So if this is true - have we now signed TWO centre backs that are not going to be regulars - which would suggest Coates and not Skrtel will be leaving.

      I'd sooner he be looking for the next Sami or Jamie.

      So you don't think we are able to simultaneously look at backup (squad) players the same time we are looking for starters?
