Topic: Gylfi Žór Siguršsson to Liverpool (no Spurs talk)

[rafathegaffa83]

Lars Bender would be a great signing and is gettable.

Would be the first player other than Sigurdsson, I'd be looking to sign this summer.

Deffo..I'd always believed that if we cannot get say ,a big money DM(CM) like Banega or Martinez,we should get one of the Benders.
And of course,since Lars made the cut ahead of Sven,Lars would be great.

[Raul!]

I'll repeat my shout for that Rasmus Elm feller. Would be good alongside Lucas.

If we're going shopping in the Eredivisie, Jordy Clasie is probably the type of player Brendan Rodgers is looking for.

If we're going shopping in the Eredivisie, Jordy Clasie is probably the type of player Brendan Rodgers is looking for.

Looking at youtube videos of him, he is very similar to Allen

But neither Lars nor Banega are DM's really. They are the midfielders who would perform to their best alongside a DM/Holding Midfielder.

Much better though

No no no just fucking awful. Not the player but Brendan Rodgers.

[Fuson]

It's really fucking annoying isn't it. Just call him Rodgers ffs.

Isn't fucking just, it's actually pathetic.

[Chalky Boots]

What about Ander Herrera? He's brilliant in Bielsa's team so I'd assume he'd be perfect for Brendans as well.
Only thing I'd be unsure about is his price.

[Cusamano]

Brendan Rodgers

Just don't.

Please.

[Chalky Boots]

Can the mods not add an auto-correct of "dear bellend please insert name of one Brendan Rodgers" ala Craig Douglas Bellamy.

[Rojo O Muerto]

Keep calling him Brendan Rodgers please, I like seeing everyone go into meltdown over it.

[Lenin]

Hopefully. Then we can all call him Brogger. 

[SpartanRed]

No.  Just no.
There's enough internet muppetry on here as it is.

[RideTheWalrus]

I like the name Brendan Rodgers.

But anyway, don't think there'll be any movement on Glyfil for a while, if any.

[Rojo O Muerto]

No.  Just no.
There's enough internet muppetry on here as it is.

You have got to admit the overreaction of some people is hilarious though.

Yup this Gylfi speculation is gonna run I think, if he's going to Swansea sense would say it would be wrapped by by early next week at the latest.

Made me laugh, that reply..

"B-r0d" just sounds so "cutesy", "feminine"(not a problem, just not becoming of a man in whom we trust to lead us into battle) and "gay"(see "feminine" before this). I actually have this feeling of my intestines being "disturbed" and other times, a surge of negative energy or possibly "bile"(possibly "emerald" in colour), slowly creeping up from my gut to my neck when I read that, but I suppose we should live and let live. I would be massively disappointed and ashamed if it ever catches on. We'd come across so Spice Girlsie, Captain Planeteers, Halo-"ites', little Ninja Turtle-esque when we're belting that out- broad-chested and in full voice over at Old Trafford for all the world to hear!

*Shudders*

[spider-neil]

Rodgers make look at the squad and decide there are players already here (young players) that can do the job Gylfi would do. Every penny of the transfer kitty will have to be used wisely as I don't see us making much money via sales.

Getting the wage bill down is also very important, Kuyt/Maxi/Cole/Aquilani are all on big money

Being on big money when you are integral to the team isn't a problem, it's being on big money if you are a bit part player. I have no problem with the likes of Aquilani being on big money if they play more often then they don't.

[MiddleMan]

hey guys let's hijack the thread because you don't like the way people call our manager.

Brendan Rodgers.

[Pelé as a Comedian]

if you say "Brendan Rodgers" three times in front of a mirror Joe Cole appears and asks you for a cigarette

[Morientes-19]

It's really fucking annoying isn't it. Just call him Rodgers ffs.

Annoying? Really, all of you cretinous plebs who see red when other posters refer to our new manager by his full name should get a grip. Jesus Christ.

Brendan Rodgers.

Misunderstanding, misunderstanding...! Timeout!
As you'll see an "autocorrect" is now in place. He replied to this:

No no no just fucking awful. Not the player but B-R0d.

The autocorrect kicked in and it turned into... VOILA!!!:

No no no just fucking awful. Not the player but Brendan Rodgers.

[koptommy93]

it's his name! haha

[Giono]

Exactly. We are lucky that there are many current players (Rafa's mostly) that can fit in his system. We have a few attacking midfielders. I have a feeling that he will want to reinforce other places.

[mikey_LFC]

It's really fucking annoying isn't it. Just call him Rodgers ffs.

Why Rodgers? Lets go all first name and cool, you know like Rafa and Kenny. I'm just going to call him Brendan. No scratch that, let's all just call him Buck. I'm sure the owners will like that. Fenway Sports Group are proud announce Buck as the Liverpool Warriors manager for the season, yeah Buck definitely has a good ring to it.

“When I had a chat with Huw Jenkins the other day, after I told him I was going to Liverpool, I gave him assurances that I wouldn’t be going back for any ­players. My word still stands on that. But Gylfi came to Swansea because I was the manager there.

“I actually pushed Swansea towards making an agreement with Gylfi – and they eventually did that in terms of the fee and then the salary. But ultimately it’s now down to Gylfi.

“I have told Huw that if I speak to the kid, I will make sure he definitely goes down to Swansea and speaks to the new manager, whoever that is.

“But if Gylfi is not comfortable with that and he comes back on to the market then I have to be interested.”

Seems he really wants him then, and if he doesn't go to Swansea, he's as good as ours you would have to think.

Fair play by Rodgers again, he's giving Swansea every chance, but ultimately leaving it up to the player to decide, which is fair enough.

[Barefoot Doctor]

Very interesting quotes there.

Have a feeling we'll be signing him very soon. If he knows Brendan wants him at Anfield, he's unlikely to opt for Swansea. Nice of the boss to say he'll encourage Gylfi to speak to the new Swans manager though.

When did he actually say this though. I'd be surprised if he has said this to a tabloid reporter (he's not Redknapp) and most of that interview looks like the one he gave to Talk Sport, but with the Gylfi bit added in.
He just doesn't seem like the kind of manager who would talk about another teams player like that.

You do know Banega is injuried? he broke his foot by having is own car roll over him (don't laugh)

Think he's doing a bit of a media tour at the moment, getting the message out. As for it sounding like the TalkSPORT interview, the TalkSPORT interview sounded very similar to the Five Live one. He's just using the same rehearsed talking points, to get a consistent message across. Maybe he spoke to the Mirror's guy and he asked about Gylfi. Don't think he said anything inappropriate.

Thinking the same as well, don't think he would have said that to show a bit of respect to Swansea.

Yes your right about the interviews sounding the same. But I just don't think he would have spoke about a direct target, even if they had mentioned Gylfi. I think he would have side stepped it a bit. He has mentioned transfers in other interviews, but just said he knows he has to bring in players and has a few in mind.

[TomDcs]

Exactly, any slightly negative (towards LFC) spin in that same article and everyone would be calling the mirror out as what it is. We may well want him but not taking those "quotes" as anything other than fantasy for the minute.

[Carlos Alberto]

But the fee has been agreed and if Gylfi really wanted to go Swansea that bad then it should of been sorted by now hasn't it been a week or so?
