DrLaudrup 4,606 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I think we need to move backwards to move forwards. On the face of it losing our best player is bad...but getting 15m plus in for him will allow us to increase quality in other areas of the squad. I’ve said on another thread that bringing in players like Shinnie is not going to win is 55. We need to bring in better quality and that needs money.

If we somehow managed to keep him, with another years progression in him, and added 3/4 quality players I'd be over the fucking moon. Can't think of any player that could do the job he does up top. Seriously You know who replaces him....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,361 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 He’s undoubtedly a great player but you’d think we’d struggle to survive if he moved on judging by some of the reactions you get when the subject comes up. Better have come and gone. We’ll be fine, especially if he gives us an extra 15 million, on top of the European money we made and the season ticket sales.

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 9 hours ago, Blue Avenger said: The expectation is that Alfredo will be gone this coming summer. His lifetime ambition is to play in the EPL which you couldn't blame any aspiring player for. He would realise his goal and we would hopefully earn enough from the sale to fund several players of quality that we badly need to make a serious challenge. The downside is we lose our best player and his goals. We lose a player who imo has much more to come out of his locker as he matures and grows. We also lose a player with a big heart and a personality to match. Despite all the detractors bemoaning his so called "petulance" as an excuse to demonise him and the club he plays for, there is not a bad bone n his body. He just loves going out there and doing his thing. He revels in the sport he loves. Quite simply the haters in this midden have put a target on his back and are conspiring to destroy him. Clubfoot epitomises that mentality. What is being done to Alfredo is as cynical and sinister as it is cowardly. It is imo better that he moves away as his development is now being stunted here and he would flourish and reach his full potential in a league where football is the game and not hatred. He deserves no less. We could also say, that if he does go, the haters have won, but have they? On the football front, we appear to have a one dimensional approach as to a game plan, in get the ball to Alfredo. IMO we do not always do that too well, in being rather ponderous and predictable in too many games and many of his goals have been through his own selfless work ethic. When he isn't at it, we do struggle with alternatives and no plan B. Whilst we have witnessed some sterling performances as a team, the consistency isn't there as we all know and Alfredo cannot play well in every game even if he gets through the hammer throwers after being kicked up and down the park. He is only human after all. So what IF no Alfredo? Firstly there are not many strikers out there of his style and tenacity that could replace him. I also doubt many would put up with the shite he has. If a target is put on a new strikers back, I hazard to guess he would indeed fall foul of many reds cards in taking retribution. This means our manager has to come with a new approach to our game plan and indeed show his worth as next season is make or break. We need more goal scoring outlets than our main striker as the oppo are just snuff that position out for lack of a goal threat coming from elsewhere. We need options and a better quality of player to overcome the antifootball we face from many teams. We need to be more solid and less ponderous in defence. More creative in midfield. A higher tempo going forward and players that can deliver those cutting edge through balls. Better movement off the ball. Quick thinking, quick feet, better decision making. These qualities just don't exist in the current crop, but add 3/4 of that quality, the rest can fit into a system that delivers those consistent winnng performances. Given the resources, it is then up to Gerrard to develop that winnng system. Only on the sale of Alfredo can we have a chance of bringing in that desired quality. This summer we don't need wholesale player departure, but several of the desired quality and mentality coming in. In conclusion, I say the sale of Alfredo liberates us from the current easy and lazy option of get the ball to Morelos which is all rather too predictiable and his absence would demand that the manager has to cme up with a better and more dynamic footballing solution to the very one dimensional approach that we now have. If he succeeds we lay waste to all before us. If he fails, we are in meltdown! Good post and certainly food for thought. I don't think losing Morelos in the summer would be a blessing in disguise. He has earned his shirt and doesn't deserve the bad PR dished out by the media. It does make me think that his development could be stalled by the competition he plays in, as those that govern it constantly abuse the rules and rob him and Rangers of Points. For me, Gerrard's battle is to get a level playing field for his team. Blue Avenger and 35 Yard Dangerman 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the money is used to secure long term contracts of players with sell on value and not wasted on loans but I doubt it will be.
