Just read the article on Balotelli and one of the comments struck a chord. its time to face facts 90% of our signings have been duds under Rodgers. Weather it's him or he's working under the constraints of the transfer committee. Is he a strong enough position this being his first big job? Then there's the falling out with established players and their subsequent leaving (heard that bayerns reserve keepers a cracker). Now don't get me wrong every manager including Ferguson signed duds but the the hit miss ratio looks like my kill death ratio in call of duty. Can you imagine what would happen if the Wirrals finest resident was in charge? He wouldn't have been bullied in the board room. I think it's time to make the call and buckle up for yet another 5 year plan and pray rafa fancies the challenge

assuming Benitez has a huge say in who comes in
he has done a very good job of bringing players to Napoli, with very few 'duds'

I only pay attention to Liverpool so I genuinely don't know if you're being sarcastic lol

the stark reality of rodgers and the committee is that of all rodgers signings only coutinho and sturridge are really hits.
Shako has come back in and looks better but needs to prove his injuries are behind him.... AND he's not fallen out badly with rodgers btw.
After that seriously look at the list.
moreno looks ok but is young and an awfully poor defender when at the back. he needs to keep settling in to be actually able to play like he did at seville each week let alone be trusted to defend.
Can has just come in and looks unfit but has shown a small bit of class just recently....
so... 3 years in... a few young lads look ok but theres a long list of flops and a few left already.
its not at all good enough IMO

What and Rafa never brought crud?
I'm sick to death of hearing about bringing back old managers!
Rodgers had 1 and a half class seasons and 2 half bad ones so far!
Give him a chance, he's made mistakes but I will remain loyal until otherwise

Never said he didn't but what he had and brought in he got a lot out of! Reina, Torres , Alonso to name 3 . The likes of those 3 today would be a huge shot in the arm instead of 20 potentials and kids

How do we determine what is a dud signing?
do they have to perform individually or the team as a whole?
One could argue that Rodgers signings have helped get us closer to the title for nearly 20 years.
Sturridge, Coutinho, Allen, Toure, Lallana, Markovic, Can, Sakho - I wouldn't class these players as duds.

"One could argue that Rodgers signings have helped get us closer to the title for nearly 20 years."
The best performing players last season were players that either Rafa or Kenny bought with the exception of Sturridge and possibly Coutinho (who was only above average last season). Plus those that came through the youth setup (Gerrard and Flanno).
Allen is a dud. Even the idiot Savage can see that. It is too early to say if Can, Lallana (who has looked bright the last few weeks) and Markovic will be duds. Sakho has hardly played due to injuries, and as for Toure... A few good games don't make up for how awful he is!

both points are right
SAS was a combination of kenny dalglish singing and rodgers signing.
behind that henderson the guy rodgers said he couldnt replace was dalglish buy. stelring was bought in rafa's time and brought on by all... coutinho rodgers.. gerrard houllier debuted... skertl.. rafa. johnson.. rafa.... flanagan at lb?
the first 11 was not completely rodgers was it?
