I'm probably in a massive minority of Liverpool fans (and probably influenced by the stuff on here... like a disease) that I wouldn't be too bothered if he left. Certainly not in any way that I would have been 2/3 years ago. Though that is ignoring any kind of replacement. If he did want to go, I wouldn't hold it against him either.
Saying that I don't think his bad form is terminal, especially as he could feasibly have 6/7 years left in his career. I still think he could get back to his best, and that best is very, very good.
Oh god, he's just like flappianskiReina.
I remember when he used to be good.
Honestly, these rag rumours get worse.
Harsh to call me and Maccy a disease tbh.
He's actually, genuinely shit though. And I don't throw that around lightly. He's got worse in every aspect over the last few seasons and quite alarmingly so. I don't think he was ever even close to being as good as a Buffon, Casillas, Pre-Helmet Cech or VDS (before his last couple of seasons, though he was still more solid than most). When he can't even rely on Hart/Given-esque Hollywood saves, what does he have left?
Get rid of moulding, residual shit like Gerrard, Reina, Carragher and Liverpool would instantly have a better squad.
Joe Cole is shit too.
Oh, and Horrendouson. Although he has a better chance of a recovery than Reina.
if he had real competition then his standards wouldn't slip. look at our keeper. and joe hart.
'used to be good'?Reina.
I remember when he used to be good.
shit that is criterion #1 for our scouts to work on. . .closely followed by. . .
'used to the the inside of the physio's room at #2
Even if he wasn't at the level of Casillas or Buffon (which he wasn't, but they're two of the best keepers ever anyway so not exactly a fair yardstick) he was still a lot better than most. A lot better. And then seemingly when Valero, who had a big influence on Torres as well, left his form dropped off a cliff. The main thing he has left is his distribution which is still ridiculous but not exactly integral to a keeper, he can still pull off a good save or two but when he's in a one on one he's invisible. As I say I don't think it's terminal, but whoever said he needs some proper competition I totally agree. And Valero back. But the main reason I wouldn't be cutting myself if he did go (and I would have a few years ago before he collapsed... inside of the elbow. Make it count.) is because Jones has come in and we haven't imploded. And no one would say Jones is brilliant. And the obligatory rumours we're signing Butland in January.
Carragher is no more than a squad player anyway, and actually did well against Chelsea which was odd. Gerrard is undroppable... for now. Joe Cole is indeed shit. Henderdjemba I think has been quite hard done by; he doesn't do much wrong, he just doesn't do much at all. Whenever I bring him on as a sub on Fifa he's literally invisible, that's an apt analogy. But he's actually mildly decent when he takes off the cloak.
It's more or less a sideways move at the moment. The only thing we could have guaranteed Fellaini until now is CL group stages.
We probably wouldn't even match his Everton wage!
