Ed is there no way we can pay a small fee too recall ilori or wisdom?

{Ed002's Note - Ilori is on a loan to buy deal - without seeing his contract I don't know if Aston Villa cancelled it whether that would suffice. I know that there are some Liverpool fdans who see this player who has played a handful of games in lower tier leagues over the last year and none for Liverpool or Aston Villa is seen as the Messiah - I have no idea why. Again, Wisdom is on a season long loan, this time with no break point.

Is there a reason you crave these discarded or not seen as ready players?}

I believe most fans on here would go by Ed001 saying previously that he has talent and possibly a improvement on what we have.

{Ed002's Note - So the club should make the effort to do something with a player they already own rather than spend their time looking for someone else?}

My point was could we not recall them if no one is available in jan too bring in straight away. In no way do i see them as the messiahs.

{Ed002's Note - No, they cannot simply be recalled.}

Sorry don't understand all the hype over Ilori.

No hype. We just want him to be given a go to see what he has. How hard is that to understand?

I don't understand what is meant by 'given a go'. Just sticking someone in the first team and watching what happens isn't classed as giving someone a go is it?

Ilori was never given any game time. Our defence and bumbled and stumbled along for seasons (and is still doing so) - the lad could not be any worse - he should have been kept and tried. Given a go = given a fair crack in the first team with the aim of, should he perform well, cementing a starting berth. If you never put a player in the team how will you ever know if he can make the grade or not? He may or may not be a success - the point is it is impossible to assess him if he is never played. We spent a few million on him and never gave him a chance - what is the point?

{Ed002's Note - I think his history over the past two years (can't make the poor Aston Villa side etc.) does little more than justify that he was simply a bad buy (one of many) by the club.}

I agree Ed. I find it incredible that the club bought the lad and never even played him, it's bizarre and, as you rightly say, one of many bad pieces of business by the club in the transfer market.

{Ed002's Note - I think the £22M spent on Ilori, Aspas and Alberto in that window could have gone to better use. I said that at the time but of course got shouted down.}
