Yes we should not sell him

Although we have some promising youngster but we still need experienced player to guide them
Selling him could also give the wrong signal to the rest of them of the players

I only got to read the news fr ST today n was kinda shocked about the rumoured sale. Juz when Mireles is beginning to gel with the team n was peaking towards the late stages of the season, wonder why Pool wanted to sell him. Not sure if it is KD or Comolli or Owners recommendation. N i do agree the asking price was an insult to a Portugese International. Surely he's worth more than that!

Yes I agree Raul is a very good player....... but his engine is not so good.
His physical fitness cannot tahan the demands of the english game.

In his present condition..... he would fail the BEEP test for our S-League.

saw tis & think that it could become a problem 4 the management -

Deadwood may hamper Reds revolution

Depending upon interpretation, the numbers r awe-inspiring, extravagant or simply exorbitant.

Whichever, in signing 3 players, 2 of whom possessed a solitary England cap apiece when purchased, Kenny Dalglish & Damien Comolli hv contrived 2 spend £77.8 million within a matter of months.

Admittedly, & importantly, much of it was recouped by the sales of Fernando Torres & Ryan Babel, but the signings of Luis Suarez, Andy Carroll & Jordan Henderson hv propelled Liverpool back in2 the big spenders' league. They must register as statements of intent.

With ongoing quests 2 sign a left-back, a central defender, a winger, another midfielder & possibly a striker, more should follow. Besides giving Liverpool's squad Dalglish's stamp, tis is shaping up 2 be the summer tat renders Fenway Sports Group the Americans tat Merseysiders can accept.

Yet, much as they might wish it 2, Liverpool's past resolutely refuses 2 disappear. It was the unpleasant legacy both Dalglish & FSG inherited &, halfway thru the summer, the hope it would bid a profitable & speedy farewell seems overly optimistic.

Thus far, no 1 of note has left. While newcomers 2 the 1st team hint @ a 2-tier policy of expensive additions & eager locals, mediocre journeymen, fading forces or frustrating underachievers do not belong in either category. Thru no fault of his own, Dalglish has 2 many of them. As it stands, he - or perhaps more accurately, Comolli - has not succeeded in selling any.

Liverpool's owners may imagine a younger, hungrier & sleeker squad but, unless up to 10 players leave, the danger is tat theirs will be a bloated group containing several with little prospect of 1st-team football, especially in a season tat won't involve European football. There r men such as Milan Jovanovic (reported earnings: £120,000 a week) & Joe Cole (£90,000 a week), who prove tat free transfers can be a false economy. There r players who were loaned out, 4gotten but not gone, but now returned, such as Emiliano Insua, who @ least has shown promise, & Philipp Degen & Nabil El Zhar, who hv revealed none.

Then there r Roy Hodgson's recruits. Raul Meireles apart, the summer of 2010 was a nadir 4 Liverpool in the transfer market. Hodgson may not bear sole responsibility 4 the signings of Cole &, in particular, Jovanovic, but his reunions with Paul Konchesky & Christian Poulsen were all his own work.

Both were unmitigated disasters. The LB was hounded out of Anfield & borrowed by Nottingham Forest in January. Time may be a healer, but it will not convert an undistinguished tryer in2 a Liverpool player. Poulsen, meanwhile, is keen 2 stay. He has slipped behind Jay Spearing & Jonjo Shelvey in the pecking order but with 2 years remaining of a lucrative 3-year contract, his motivation may be clear. In both cases, reputations hv been diminished by Anfield careers & neither is overly marketable.

The bid 4 Roma goalkeeper Alexander Doni suggests Jose Reina's deputy, Brad Jones, is also surplus 2 requirements. Tat Sotirios Kyrgiakos made sufficient appearances 2 trigger a 1-year contract extension does not make him any less slow or clumsy. Even the player whose talent appeared 2 make him bankable, Alberto Aquilani, will be back on Merseyside aft a change @ the helm of Juventus scuppered hopes of a £14 million cheque.

Besides feeling disappointment, he may encounter congestion. With Henderson's arrival & the possibility Charlie Adam will join, Liverpool's central midfield department threatens 2 be hugely overstaffed. Like Poulsen, his replacements hv arrived or emerged b4 his departure has been sealed.

In age, earnings & background, these r men who bear the hallmarks of the misfit. They r not the type of footballers Dalglish chooses 2 advance, being neither the products of a youth system who r belatedly being advanced or the Premier League's costliest young Brits.

Though they hv fared better & figured prominently under Dalglish, it is not beyond the realms of possibility tat Daniel Agger or Maxi Rodriguez would be sacrificed should an offer come in, a scenario tat becomes more plausible with each week when Liverpool fail 2 shift the overly remunerated & redundant.

In the meantime, a financial double whammy is threatened, whereby players cost the club plenty in wat are effectively wasted wages while their transfer values depreciate. The unneeded & unnecessary could earn in excess of £500,000 per week betw them, a spend tat can only harm owners & club.

The original intention, it is apparent, was the most radical reshaping of the squad since tat summer of 1999 when Gerard Houllier conducted an overhaul. Dalglish appears 2 hv both the authority & the determination 2 follow suit, but the job will only be half done if the Melwood training ground is populated by men Liverpool hv failed 2 sell.

Problems arise with planning a brave new world when the depressing old 1 refuses 2 go away.

I agreed with u, bro joew2005.

Players like Poulsen & Jovanovic seems to like what they are doing now.
Earning big bucks of money week in week out & they don't seems to care abt playing football...

And the problems is when they are in the field, they simply don't justify the big money spend on them. Our young lads are playing way better than them.

Hope they wake up on their senses & leave the club, give the chance to other players who want to play for our Club.

They may not want to leave but LFC can only register 25 players for the BPL of which 8 must be homegrown players. So those that are not registered will have to go out on loan to another club if they still want to play football.

No sane player will want to stay unregistered as that will kill their footballing career so even if they have to go out on loan to Championship side I believe they will not reject.

if they go out on loan 2 a Championship club, the players might hv 2 take a pay cut.
worse still is that The Reds hv the pay the differences 2 the player if he is not willing 2 take a pay cut.

This transfer period doesn't look good for Liverpool..... so far they have only managed to sign Jordan Henderson and no one else wants to come.

Jovanovic has been released...... no club wants to buy him cos his wages are too high.

Joe Cole may be released too if there is still no takers for him.

[bochapsing]

it'ld be nice if we have somebody like bruce taking all our deadwoods away...
