You ****. [icon_lol1.

Konchesky...well, it's the best we could do with a limited budget. I guess Hodgson also had an eye on the UK quota for the squad and to be fair, he's done ok.

Really??? The best we could have done is kept Insua, he was our leading assists last season if I remember correctly.. yes he had his defensive issues, but Konchesky has **** up already on numerous occasions and offers nothing going forward.

We got rid of a promising 21 (remember that, only 21) year old left back who had nothing but a bright future ahead of him and would only get better with experience and forked out 5m?? for Konchesky, an aging-never good enough left back who is only going to get worse... So no, I don't think it was the best we could do!

Insua has also already had 2 caps for Argentina at age 21.

What we had.
An extremely promising 21 year old left back with a few defensive liabilities who was unreal at getting forward and had the world at his feet. Value will increase dramatically in market. Aurelio and (as it seems) Agger as backup.

What we have now.
An average 29 year old left back who seems to be struggling far more than Insua has in the past with few defensive liabilities and woeful at getting forward. Only going to get worse, and his value will deminish in the market. Aurelio and (as it seems) Agger as backup.

Konchesky has had 2 caps also for England...... at age 29.

I know which I would want.

hey dude I hate to tell you this but........ you're living in the past, and Insua is living off that one goal.

He was rubbish last year, he got skimmed by players with their eyes closed. He did look promising, but he regressed badly.

And I'm not the only one who feels that way, go read the official pool forums, most feel the same way.

Konchesky really isn't as bad as you make him out to be. He's just not young and foreign, which I guess dims his excitment value a bit. But he's still a decent player who's got some ability, and most importantly (which you might have forgotten), he's homegrown and Insua isn't.

I'm not saying he's brilliant, but yes, i'm saying he's better than Insua. Insua will be shipped out in summer and will be replaced anyhow, so no loss. Besides, if he was as promising as you make him out to be, why is he at Galatasary and not a big spainish or Italian club? I knew Fiorentina were interested but they were the ONLY ones of noteworth significance. Are you suggesting a whole bunch of european scouts are wrong and you are right, based primarily off one super goal 2 years ago?

Sigh. I think you missed my point... have a reread of my post before you start blabbering.

Insua was a player for a future, not a first team starter but Rafa's hand was forced because of Aurelio's injury curse and Dossena was dross. Insua unfortunately had to play week in week out, something he wasn't ready for at the time.

And if you think Insua was completely shit then I don't know why I bother arguing with you. Yes he got skinned, I mentioned this... Konchesky has been skinned numerous times too this season. I feel like just copy pasting my original argument but I'm sure you can scroll up and have a re-read. Konchesky is not liverpool quality. Insua was well on his way.

Remember Carragher first few years? He got skinned, shown up all the time. It's called experience. Learning positional sense etc.

Official liverpool forums?? funny.

Now he just mistimes challenges, hacks at people and doesn't contest the ball in the air anywhere near as well as a man of his height should.

Yeah Carragher is definitely past it, still handy but a shadow of what he used to be. 4 years ago he was one of the best center halves in the world. Shame England never used him more but then again we had Terry, Ferdinand and Campbell in good form.

I didn't realise we'd started talking about Rio Ferdinand [icon_razz1

[icon_lol1. Funny thing is I just mentioned that this assessment of Jamie could be applied to Rio and also probably to Puyol.

To get up or not to get up ... that is the question ...

Get up. You'll regret it if you don't. [icon_wink

Luckily for me, it's one hour later here.

 

[ningnangnong]

Terrible, terrible performance this morning.

 

[mal]

for 83 minutes yeah it was..

Konchesky is ropable. At least I found someone who is even worse than Johnson at defending! haha

 

[Beachy]

Apart from the first 15 minutes it was like the 2nd half against Chelsea all over again.

A lot of people blowing up about the Poulsen sub - but I thought it was a good move as it allowed Gerrard to get further forward ... nearly worked too

 

[ningnangnong]

Utter garbage this morning.

My sleep pattern is now all over the shop.

 

[Beachy]

He's gotta go

 

[The Brizz]

He is a far inferior coach to Rafa and I didn't rate Rafa at all, they should throw the bank at Frank Rijkaard.

Really?? Unless he brings Ten Cate with him, no thanks. Failed in Turkey miserably.

 

[The Brizz]

Yeah but Turkey isn't always a place you can instantly go and succeed. He turned Barca completely around with the philosophy and recruitment he implemented in his time. With the money and right platform I think he could turned Liverpool into a force again.

As Pellegrini is available, he has to be first choice.
