Voronin

[Guest RedIsMyColour]

I hope he retires tonight out of shame.

 

He is one of the worst players ever to play for Liverpool FC.

[techmob]

he isn't good enough,even as a squad player

[Cheesecake]

We only have one striker of any worth. The rest are of a standard more suitable to a team like Middlesboro or Leicester City.

[Steven]

Diabolical today.

 

Cant sum up how awful he was today.

[Guest RedLegend]

Yep. Not good enough. Not even close.

[Magic8Ball]

we really need to upgrade our entire attack (minus Torres) - we need to be looking at replacing Voronin and Crouch for starters - In the summer I wanted Torres and Tevez as I thought they would be way more effective together than any combination we had at that time.

we really need to trade on of the "excess" strikers for Anelka - then in summer look at getting a decent upgrade

Last striker to come from the Bundesliga and play for us, Sean Dundee.

Coincidence

Bring back Ciise, all is forgiven.

I sometimes think Benitez does these Bosmans simply as a money making exercise, we get n international for free that can be 4th choice striker sign him on a 3 year contract then sell him for a few million the year after. Clearly not good enough for us, but he is an international and im sure there'll be takers if/when we sell.

why on earth would we get rid of Crouch before Kuyt.

Kuyt isn't a footballer.

[Guz]

After the first 30 mins or so we were all complete s****. Not one player came out of that with any crdit until the last few mins

[abuusayd]

Did Hleb show the same form when he joined Arsenal in his first season and they paid 7-9 Million for him?

We'd be lucky to get more than a few quid for him

Who exactly has Benitez done that with?

[Guest RedIsMyColour]

Who exactly has Benitez done that with?

 

Kromkamp to some extent.

[MFletcher]

I've always believed that Voronin was a "concession signing". We could have signed two Kuyt-level players, but Rafa decided to buy one world class player and needed a cheap alternative to replace Robbie. He's a starter for the Ukraine, so he's not as useless as he's looked in recent games.

 

People have complained that Rafa has bought crap, but this is the sort of player you have to sign if you want world class players in other areas of the field.

 

He was shocking today, and has been very poor in past few games, but he was a free signing and we got Torres with the money we saved.

[Guest Snorky]

Voronin played poorly today, but he was not alone. He is not the worst player ever to wear our shirt, ever saw Jimmy Tarbuck in a testimonial game

[Jim D]

Was carried today by our better players, after a promising start he starting to look what his transfer fee suggested, average.

well he wasnt a Bosman but Bellamy is one that springs to mind, he knew he could get him on the cheap, and he'd be a good stop gap solution if he didnt work out he knew he could sell him for a profit. Others like Krongkamp you always felt were brought in as very short term solutions.

[Guest RedLegend]

Did Hleb show the same form when he joined Arsenal in his first season and they paid 7-9 Million for him?

 

No but Hleb was always considered a very talented player who just wasn't performing last season at Arsenal.

 

Voronin was always considered an average player even in the Bundesliga.

ahh Mad Erik, how could I forget.

Hardly done for financial gain though is it? I agree Bellamy was a stop gap before we spent big the following summer on Torres but how you can deduce we signed him so we could make a few million later is beyond me. Kromkamp we didnt lose or make any money on did we?

 

You have to go for short term options when you're building a squad, it's inevitible.

[Bo Benn]

On the top of my head I think I can come up with at least 20, probably 30 ex liverpool players worse than Voronin. And I can only remember players from the early 90'ies and onwards. Not good today neither was Riise for instance. Babel was off, though I think he should have started alongside Fernando. Aurelio was so and so. Finnan rather poor for once.

 

"one of the worst players ever to play for Liverpool" is a f***ing disgraceful and ignorant comment.

[Swipe]

Can barely describe how poor he was today.

 

He's utterly useless.

 

Hope him and Kuyt joing Crouch out the door ASAP.

 

Really poor performance today, against a pub team. Slow and sluggish with little quality on show.

 

Got out of jail on this one
