      Excuse me all, sorry to gatecrash the party.......

      Article heading = Liverpool may ditch transfer committee as they look to change recruitment policy this summer

      Article information source = One suggestion is that the Fenway Sports Group, which owns Liverpool, might want to appoint a director of football/ general manager to assist Rodgers.

      What a F***ing lazy article, any c**t could write this sh*t. Nowhere in that article does it state anything substantial or anything backed up with actual proof.

      I actually think Lovren has the makings of a very good player.
      Central defence is difficult for a number of reasons. You need the right mix. You need midfield protection. And you need a quality support team ie coaches and scouts.

      Hyypia would have looked utter sh*te in some setups. Luiz did in some, yet he moved for 50m.
      I remember Mark Wright struggled to settle at LFC, then became brilliant. Phil Babb looked terrific then became a giant dud.

      If we had Mascherano, Alonso and Rafa's backroom staff, I think Lovren would look terrific.
      After all Rodgers has fallen out with Sakho, Dagger, Lovren, possibly Skrtel (??) in his short time at Anfield. Whatever you think about Rodgers, clearly central defensive understanding isn't his forte so far.

      Dagger fell out with himself. He was past his prime and you can see from his move, he's really done nothing since his he left. How you would know that Brendan has fallen out with Sakho and Skrtel I'm not sure. His favored backline seems to always include Sakho and Skrtel when they are fit (and they are our best two so it makes sense).

      Add Ilori to the mix and if Lovren can come good I think our defense will be fine barring a couple of reliable backups.

      His preferred pairing was Lovren and Skrtel at the start of the season and he persisted with it only until the clamour for Lovren to be dropped became deafening.

      No mate they fall into the "value for money"... "worth a risk at the price" [remember that?] category.

      Or... better still... wait for it...

      "They were obviously Brendan's picks... the rest were the committee's" category.  :lmao:
      Not forgetting the people who recruited the personnel in charge of bringing people in obviously... cause we wouldn't want to apply double standards or be hypocritical, would we?   >:D

      You know where i stand and i differ my stance from others who are not critical of how our transfer business is done.

      So no need to apply sarcastic quotes in response that don't apply to me.

      Cannot disagree with any of the above.
      100% speculation.
      All it does achieve is create more smoke and mirrors for FSG to juggle or not.

      They don't apply to you so you need not feel offended mate. Although I'm sorry if did.

      To be fair, I did agree with you that the people who hired those, who some blame, (Comolli, Kenny, Ayre, Edwards, Fallows, Graham, Gordon and... most recently, Brendan) for the continued failure of transfers [i.e. FSG] are indeed "the problem".

      So it's all good.  8)

      what the difference, serious question i'm not being sarcastic.

      what is the difference between a committee in charge of discussing and buying players to having a policy on recruitment

      the bottom line really is not who decides to buy players but who we buy, that's the biggest problem

      Serious question...is there any way we can get you to capitalize the first letter of a sentence? I know it's really a petty thing, but unless your phone or computer doesn't have a shift button it seems like something we should make an effort to get done?

      "When I came to Liverpool, I knew 100 percent the model of how the club worked -- but on top of that we've got a really good team of people here. They're good guys who work very, very well.

      "We all work well together and understand the model of the club and how it all functions. We have to look at it over the summer and work out what's going to help our squad, and to put up a better challenge for next season, a more consistent challenge. That's something we'll work together on."


      Doesn't sound like the Committee is going anywhere, or a policy change is likely! So much for the big name signings  :mad:

      Some people want one, distinct person to blame, having several muddies the water and some don't who to be angry yet, so chase their own tails.  Crumbs, some struggled when it was just two, Comolli and Dalglish.  ;)

      IMHO , its not the committee, the manager ,the owners, or   who ever it is who decides which player to sign, that counts
      preferably it should be the manager,
      the real problem is the wage structure the club is always trying to hold on to
       not saying we should pay every player 200/300k x wk
       but we will never sign any established good player with the wages we are offering and cannot compete with the top rich clubs who can offer top wages for their top players
       so we are bound to always try to buy 'promising' players and maybe re-sell them if the player is a success buy,when another club offers him much higher wages
