He's got to prove himself before he earns that name, for me at least.
When Bournemouth bought Dean Huijsen he was the prefered partner to Illia Zabarnyi
Romero passes from the back but spends about 10 minutes thinking about it giving opponents that time to organise their defence.
You're gonna be in for a shock when you realise that's literally how De Zerbi wants his players to play.
100% this.
And it's also how we might just tempt a real top notch player, who thinks maybe just maybe this club wants to return to being serious again.
It's also ignoring the fact that he's played all season for them this season and looked mint, so he's coming off the back of a great season
Another Liverpool cast off?
Ibrahima Konate set to leave Liverpool on a free transfer
Ibrahima Konate is set to leave Liverpool for free when his current contract expires in June.www.bbc.co.uk
not really a cast off - he's been a mainstay there
Because its the same shit recruitment we've been dealing with for the last 5 years and this will be it again. We haven't signed Senesi to be back up so unless we plan on selling VDV then you are in for a nasty shock come August.
Means fuck all. Look at the talent England have left out. Henderson has been included ffs. Is he better than MGW or Wharton?
International managers have their opinions like everyone else.
Does this make Jordan Henderson better than Adam Wharton?
Yet another one leaves for nothing . If that was us we would be getting so much stick. Trent and Konatehave gone. Van Dijk and Salah got to the end of their contracts only to sign big new contracts and proceeded to play as bad as they ever have for Liverpool. There was probably a case to keep Robertson.Kerkez has hardly looked impressive. Slot might not get to Xmas.
I think you underestimate just how bad our recruitment is. Senesi was a cheap opportunity and the fact he is left footed didn't put us off bringing him in so that we can sell Romero and not worry about a replacement. I'm sure we'll make a small attempt to get Van Hecke or another top RCB but imagine if we don't get one then your recruitment team will simply say - "Hey you have Senesi and VDV so just make it work".
I'm always amazed how every summer our fans assume that we've finally figured it all out and will stop making recruitment mistakes. Unforunately, history usually repeats itself and I'm afraid to break the news to you all but I'd say its highly likely that come August Senesi will be the Romero replacement. I'm not even sure its a given that we sell Dragusin either. Lets wait and see.
I hope I'm wrong. I pray I'm wrong. I don't care about these "Gotcha" moments or proving other posters wrong or any of that stuff. I just want whats best for this football club. But we have the same conversations every summer and until I see a full shift in recruitment planning then I'm not buying into this idea that we have it all figured out this time. We never figured it out before and kept making mistakes. My guess is we are making recruitment mistakes right now in front of our very eyes but fans are in denial
It just means the coach is loyal to his guys who won the WC and Copa America for him, nothing more.
Don’t really know how good Morgan Gibbs White is, 35 year old Jordan Henderson is in the squad over him
Edit: lol this analogy has already been used twice my bad.
Senesi is good. Was one of the 5 best CBs in the Pl this year. He has weaknesses yes but I will take 3 years of stamped PL excellence over any international bollocks. Dont overreact to who looks good in the World Cup this summer.
I said last year that, when people were rubbing their genitals over how liverpool was run, that people would be making effigies of Levy if he was leaving our 3 best players to run down their contracts and allow an academy world class player to walk away (granted they got £10m to release him early). It's now happening again to an extent - Robertson, Salah, Konate - and THEN you get the 35 year old VvD still there and not getting any younger or any contingency.
So liverpool at minimum need 2 CBs IMO - wouldn't be shocked if they sniff at Vuskovic or VdV
