Some Reds have been saying how can we pay 6.7 m (8m overall) for a ''troublemaker'' when Newcastle have just brought Duff for 5m who is never in any''trouble'' and he has won 2 premiership titles.
Fist of all, i think this whole troublemaker thing is a bit unfair. yes, he was caught driving after being banned for D&D but does this mean he is a ''troublemaker?'' does this mean he will disrupt the team? will he tske em out on the lash? i don;t think so. Collymore was a troublmaker. he talked to the press how allegedly sh*t we were and the facilities we had after only being at the club for 2 months. Anelka, also, never talked to any of the players and so didn't add much to the team at all. Robbie claims that Anelka never passed the ball to him..this is how self centred Nico is. On this basis, i dont think we can call him a trouble maker. Robbie has been in his fair share of problems (white line, hotel bust ups, dockers, Le saux) but he is my all time hero and i personally think that these acts are just part of the profile that makes him great. Pennant may be a DEVIANT but not a TROUBLEMAKER.
11 goals in 147 appearances. bad return? the guys a winger and he has played for sh*te clubs or has only been on loan. he played for arsenal where their dickhead manager wasn't too impressed. how can you impress a manager who only likes players that have Englih as their 2nd language? he had no chance of breaking through into the team. then he went to leeds, blues...he didn;t do bad for these clubs but it was difficult as they were sh*t. he was very promising as ayoung player but if you do not have the right guidance or the right club then you can never really fulfill the Poteential. Rooney was a good player but after going to united(as much as i hate to say it) he has become even a better player. I can say the same for Gerrard, Riise, Fowler, Crouch, Luis Garcia, Kewell. these players hva eblossomed under Rafa compared with Houllier and previous clubs.
next. Duff said he followed his ''heart''. Absolute bollocks mate! the reaon why you left is that you couldn;t cope with the competition and if you came to LFC you would have had to compete with Harry Bhai and Speedy. If not, you would have to play on the right, which i think he would have played if he signed. Pennant on the other hand is a R Mid so that has worked out better. Plus he is a boyhood Reds fan. His hero is John Barnes. He actually reminds me a bit of John B . If he can play anything like him then he will be great. the lads only 23 and he has enough time to become a Liverpool Great. lets hope so.
i was a bit sceptical, at first, with this signing but the more i think about it, the more i believe Rafa has made a decent signing. Lets hope he can learn from the players he will play with and that Rafa can make him a complete player. End product is what is probably needed.
Now all we need is DEFOE. Then, in my view, Chelski are finished and we will again conquer England.
