Eds, can this be moved back to banter page 1?

Cheers for the mixed responses guys. I knew I'd be stirring sup some heat with that post and obviously I've got to reply to most.

ED001 - yeah I did forget about Sahin, not surprising though :) and yep, my bad on Moreno but I'd rather it was a loan.

Mighty Reds & Teddy - I'm all about giving players time, that being both game time and time to gel with each other but my focus here is purely on the impact of BRs transfers. not players potential ability or not as may be the case.he's sign a lot of players for good money that he's either dropped, farmed out at a loss or loan or played out of their natural position, so in my mind I would judge them as poor signings.

Essexred - Like above, I'm not saying the players are failures.sure none of them can be failures on the basis that they signed for Liverpool. but did/have/will they work out? In the most part, so far I say no for most of them.
-Fabio Borini
-Joe Allen
-Oussama Assaidi
-Luis Alberto
-Iago Aspas
-Mamadou Sakho
-Kolo Toure
-Aly Cissokho
-Victor Moses
-Alberto Moreno
-Javier Manquillo
-Mario Balotelli
-Rickie Lambert

Muscatred - there's like 22 players there. do you honestly believe they will become players that will either take us back to the top or be of interest to last seasons top for? Don't say Coutinho. I've already said he's done good.

Pommy - that's pretty much my point. even if a player does look like he has potential, BR will make a sh*te of him some how like poor coaching, not playing or playing out of position.

User013 - I don't see what's so laughable about my Coutinho comment, the lads a good player and over the last several years we've not managed to hold on to our good players since. signing a new contract does not mean much if Real/Barca come in with 50+ million

Kizz- yes Emre can fail on the basis that BR either does not play him or plays him out of position. I don't see that as a sucessful signing.it's like if we signed Messi, great player but if we don't play him or play him out of position how is that a successful signing?

Puzzle Red- Coutinho / Sturridge = Success :)

So my point being is that I for 300mil spent, I believe BR has made poor transfers since he's spent a lot of money on players that he either did not play, played or plays out of position and mainly players that I don't think would be of interest to last season top 4.

{Ed001's Note - Ed033 is currently working on a live newsfeed for the profiles, so you can continue to see replies easily for threads that have fallen off the front page.}

Based on not played/played out of position/who won't cut it I agree with the list.But in that list there is only one player who can help is in getting back to top 4,that player is Sakho.
Also we can add Markovic to the above list.

But as Eds mentioned Rodger's simply doesn't evaluate his transfer targets before signing them.He is like a small kid with money who buys random candies without checking its taste,then throws away the candies which he doesn't like.

Do people REALLY believe Rodgers decides how much to spend on a player?
It doesn't work like that, he hasn't spent 300 million, the club has spent that money.
