Someone needs to show Rodgers this
I just picture the transfer committee holding a gun to Rodgers' head saying 'pick one of:'
1) Balotelli
2) Benteke
3) Bony
4) Sanchez
Rodgers: I'll take Sanchez
Transfer Committee: Wrong choice, try again *gun pointing intensifies*
Rodgers: oh, okay then, Balotelli it is.
Transfer Committee: Good choice. Every other manager and club who has had signed him has told us he's a complete arsehole but he has the potential to be worth £2.5bn and with the financial fair play regulations becoming stricter, we need to sort out the books this year. We will give you £16m to spend on him and want you to become the second coming of Jesus, perform some miracles, and develop him into a world class player.
Rodgers: Okay, sounds like a good idea. I think in a few months I'll get the lad to show great character with the rest of the group.
But no, what Rodgers should have said is: If we can't get Sanchez then I don't want any of those players because they do not fit my system and footballing philosophy. These players would be an incredible waste of money, and rather than panic buy now, can I utilise what resources I do have currently and save the money and use it in the next transfer window to buy a player that fits our requirements?
Rodgers had 10000000 options with a gun held to his head being told by the transfer committee to pick an option and instead he just picked one of the options put in front of him like a complete coward. If you are going to allow yourself to be walked all over then you cant cry when they do that.
When the transfer committee told Rodgers to pick one of their options, this should have been his response.
