One of Siggurdsons qualities is that he likes to arrive late and timely into the opposing box and is a genuine goal threat. That is a particular skillset that no other Liverpool midfielder showed last Season under Kenny. Perhaps it was the tactics . perhaps the players available found it extremely difficult to push forward while leaving acres of space behind them for opponents to exploit on the counter. Its the negative of a 4-4-2 that Kenny loved so much.

Gerrard cannot at his age now and after so many recent injuries to be the box to box guy we loved and admired for so long. He can be everything else that is necessary in Rodger's tiki-taka style but for right now, Siggurdson appears to be a must for this team.

Good post but i disagree on Gerarrd slightly. Still think he could be very effective arriving late from a second striker role (see 08/09) but agree that he cannot do this from cm.
�We can wait for it but I don�t want to say we can wait 20 years. If we sit here in four years I think we�ll have won one title � I�m pretty sure.�

No pressure Jurgen!

Every post I write on Gerrard I say how good a player i think he is. I do also say that IMO he is wasted in centre midfield and is positionally indisciplined (a good thing when playing a free role a bad thing when playing in the centre). Gerrard is a top player but not the infallable player some (blinkered individuals IMO) see him as.

RODGERS WON'T HIJACK GYLFI DEAL

Brendan Rodgers will only move for Gylfi Sigurdsson if he rejects a move to Swansea.


Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is keeping a close eye on Gylfi Sigurdsson but says he will honour the agreement former club Swansea have with the midfielder.

Hoffenheim man Sigurdsson impressed while on loan at the Liberty Stadium in the second half of last season under former Swans boss Rodgers.

The Welsh side agreed a club-record fee of £6.8million for the 22-year-old Iceland international last month and confirmed he had accepted personal terms.

However, Rodgers' move to Anfield has thrown the potential deal into doubt, with Sigurdsson tipped to follow him to Merseyside.

The youngster revealed earlier this month he is now unlikely to sign at Swansea following the manager's departure.

But Rodgers, while still keen on Sigurdsson, insists his former club must be given the chance to persuade the midfielder to stay in South Wales.

He told Liverpool's official website: "First and foremost, Gylfi is a Hoffenheim player.

"I took him on loan for the second half of last season and he did very, very well. He scored seven goals and made a real, positive contribution.

"I wanted to sign him for Swansea but, like I've said to him and his representatives, that has to be his first port of call.

"If he comes into the market for whatever reason - and I'm sure there'll be a number of clubs interested in Gylfi - then of course I would like to be in a position to put our case here at Liverpool to sign him.

"But I've always said, I think he's a player Swansea have had an agreement with and they have to have every chance to try and sign him. That's only right.

"If anything changes from that, we'll look at it from there."

Rodgers says he has several targets in mind as he looks to improve the Liverpool squad this summer but, other than Sigurdsson, the manager is keeping his cards close to his chest.

"I like to very much keep my counsel on potential targets," he said. "I think there are a few players who can come in and improve the group straight away.

"I know the types of player I need to bring here to make us function well and that's something myself, the club and the board will look at.

"I know what we've got, more or less, in the squad, but I also know there are a couple of signings that could really improve what we do.

"That's something we'll work together on over the course of the summer and hopefully we can get one or two in."

BBC claiming Sigurdsson deal could be done by as early as next week. Ben Smith has been on the money regarding LFC recently so wouldn't be at all surprised.

Why, can Sigurdsson play in four different positions at the same time? I think he's a decent player, but I doubt he's that good.

If you're expecting (or I sense demanding) instant improvement, I'm afraid football doesn't always work like that, and neither does life.


Why do you follow football, to find so much fault in it? I'm afraid you are definitely a type 3 (I can't use the word supporter or fan in this case, more like football detractor - choose a club and find as much fault as possible).


Either that or you're just a Manc or a Bitter, which then makes me wonder how you find so much time to talk baloney about a club you hate, or should I say, love to hate! ;)

Man United Plot Move to Hijack Liverpool Deal to Sign Gylfi Sigurdsson


by Steven Constable June 16th, 2012

Old Trafford side keen on young Icelandic international.

Man United are readying a bid for Icelandic international Gylfi Sigurdsson as Sir Alex Ferguson looks to hijack Liverpool’s advances for the Hoffenheim youngster.

Having impressed during a loan spell at Swansea City last term it had appeared that the 22 year old would be making his temporary move to the Liberty Stadium a permanent one after the Welsh side agreed terms with Sigurdsson’s Bundesliga employers but the goal-scoring midfielder backed out of the deal in order to consider other options following Brendan Rodgers decision to take over at Anfield.

Some sources have stated that Liverpool are just one of a number of Premier League sides keen on Sigurdsson and Man United are looking to nab the attacking midfielder this summer.

Ferguson is looking to re-shuffle his Old Trafford squad having seen Man United lose their Premier League title to local rivals Man City and crash out of the Champions League at the first hurdle. The Scot is said to be looking to strengthen his squad with the addition of young talent and to that end has already signed Shinji Kagawa and Nick Powell from Borussia Dortmund and Crewe Alexandra respectively.

The Man United manager is said to be considering offloading a number of other players from his playing staff that he feels he can afford to sell. The likes of Anderson, Ji-Sung Park, Dimitar Berbatov and Bebe are among those he could look to make available for possible departures.

Should Sigurdsson be presented with the chance to join Man United he may well elect to pass on the offer to reunite with Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool.

Probably bullshit.... :unsure:

Sly Sports reporting he's in discussions with LFC and a number of other Premier League clubs. If it's true Man Ure are one of those clubs it's our first opportunity to see how persuasive our new manager can be.

More likely that it is done on the instructions of Brendan Rodgers so that it doesn't appear that he is hijacking the Swansea deal. He will definitely sign for us - just wants to do it the 'correct' way!

Gerrard's main problem the last two years was staying fit long enough to take the field two successive games. He isn't what he was, but I'll still take him any way I can get him.

Let's not burden the Icelander unduly before he even signs on the dotted line, Aussie. I saw him more as a Meireles than a Gerrard, but I'll take that, thank you.
