I wish we had squad players of this quality in our first team.
oh great, aquilani is not talented now? try harder you PR plants. the pattern is all there to see. all our better players once being offered elsewhere are easily leaving us with inferior players coming in. Aquilani is just the symptom of our owners trying to flog for profits. the way managers are sacked nowsday proves that these owners have more power and say behind the scenes who are valuable and ready to be pimped and sold.
Make no mistake, these forumers saying we should sell aquilani given the remaining quality we have in midfield are not fans and clearly protect the interest of the owners profits. we all saw the pre season matches and aquilani was the best and consistent and thats why AC milan are willing to take him.
All the fees transfer haggling are just that. calling each other bluff. but the truth is - Aquilani is a good player and thats why top clubs have been loaning him from us for a two seasons now. there is no arguing around it. (regardless of the fee cause now the player is holding us to ransom, thanks to our owners oh so willingness to let our better players go without a fight, oh, i wonder why). stop coming in to our forums you PR plants and give us a little dignity and respect.
Most of us long term liverpool fans understand and can spot a good player. stop insulting us and get out.
He was handled the same way in which he was handled by Rafa, don't forget Rafa wasn't to keen on his performances either.
Oh dear.
Xabi Masch Judas all raked uis in a few shillings
Do you think Rafa would have sent him out on loan and brought in Polsen?
sorry i dont see in my left or right pocket. you sure we have the money?
Nothing wrong with that post
£3M for a no good, want away, piece of **** Italian is decent money. I'd let him go for a bag of Fruitella and any spare coinage.
Waste of ******* space.
Rafa himself didn't play Aquilani as much as he could of when he was fit because he'd got mental problems. He was here, he was available and he didn't get a game, why do you ignore this?
No..
We just have a horrible habit overpaying the odds for players down through the years..
When we sell them its normally for what their really worth..
Everyone has an opinion they're entitled to (some thought Lucas was a good player, some didn't).
Why insult fans just because they don't have the same opinion as yourself?
Oh, by the way the term ''long term fans'' depends on what you call ''LONG term''.
It's understandable that a player might have mental issue about a long term injury to that part of his body, especially if he even felt a hint of pain. Just because the medics said everything was fine it doesn't mean it was so, at least not for the player who has to feel right physically and mentally. When he eventually did play for us he looked like a decent player to me and got better as time went on.
I remember most of us were looking forward to seeing him play the following season, but the rest is history.

He looked decent but unfortunately it appears that there was an underlying problem there otherwise why hasn't he been moved.
When one manager doesn't play someone and you disagree you might have a point when 4 don't its time to look for other reasons behind it
Sometimes a player just doesn't quite fit or doesn't quite work, the club is bigger than any one player (or manager) so we need to just move on instead of trying desperately to fit one player in.
we got to move on from this aqua situation. he doesnt want to be here, and the low transfer price is down to him not wanting to be here, fitness issues and loaning him for two years instead of selling him, every year he was on the books his value was going down.
Perhaps I always got the wrong end of the stick, but I've never read that Aquilani wants to leave or that he doesn't enjoy it here - I always thought managers didn't consider him an important member of the squad and he was shipped out due to high wages...
why sign a contract if you don't want to be in the country? the loaning out business has me a bit miffed...the italian clubs expect us to keep loaning him out until his contract is up! I never intended for this to turn into another aqua thread btw!!! whoever deals with these sort of sales for players should be seriously questioned! If you look at the likes of adam,carroll, henderson, downing all there clubs held onto them for every last penny they could get before letting them go!
Maybe one day we'll find out the true facts behind this long Saga, personally I blame Hodgson and the regime that were in charge at the time for starting the whole thing. You don't buy a player for that much money and then send him out on loan, especially as he was fully recovered from his injury and we needed quality players in the squad. How can Hodgson say he might not get much game time because of the likes of polsen and then send him out on loan?
If we hadn't needed him off the wage structure he may have stayed however I think there is more to it than just that. I think he is a very good palyer but i believe the reports that he was unsettled from the start.
He must have thought long and hard before signing that five year contract with his family, I don't believe he was unsettled but the wage thing sounds more plausible as we were in dire straits at the time.
I know people who have thought long and hard about moving to Australia, spent tens of thousands of pounds on doing it and within 2 years are back in England because they couldn't adapt. Some people can't handle it.
One day we'll find out the truth, I'll totally surprised if this is the reason.

The squad last year was crying out for a midfielder of aqua's quality after the injuries to lucas and adam! I honestly thought that if he was playing we would have finished in a better league position than we did....Kenny could be still in a job, but then again who am i to think that could have happened
Just totally guessing i see, you seem to forget Aquilani was here and didn't exactly set the world on fire and in loan spells in Italy he's been nothing more than average and can hardly hold down a first team place. Hence why nobody will even pay such a small fee for him.The squad last year was crying out for a midfielder of aqua's quality after the injuries to lucas and adam!

so you think spearing and henderson did a better job than he would have done? our midfield were woeful in the F.a cup final because of the inexperience of spearing and hendo! most fans would gladly take him back because he's a top class player!
There's no point mentioning Spearing becuase replace him with Aquilani and we would have been far worse.
He could have done a better job than Henderson if he had wanted to be here.
not all teams need to play with a defensive mid.... anyway its going away from the reason why the thread was started and thats us selling players for far less than we should get.
Other than possibly Aquilani what players have we sold for far less than they are worth? Im struggling to think of any really?
