In April 2012, Liverpool legend Dietmar Hamann argued that the Reds should try and sign Wigan striker Franco Di Santo, one of the lowest scoring strikers in the Premier League. At the time, I though Didi was having a laugh, but he was deadly serious, and through some absurd twist of fate, the club is now being linked with the Argentinean star.
Speaking to LFC TV after Wigan beat Liverpool in April, Hamann specifically highlighted DeSanto, and enthused:
"DeSanto is a hell of a player. He gave Liverpool a hard time all afternoon playing up on his own. He's certainly a player I would love to see in a red shirt next year".
Over the last couple of days, several sources - including Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo - have linked Liverpool with a move for Di Santo, yet another player with whom Rodgers worked during his time at Chelsea.
With the greatest respect, if Rodgers is genuinely interested in Di Santo, then he really is as clueless as his detractors suggest. As I always argue, end product is all that matters for creative players, and DeSanto is not a prolific goalscorer:
* 13 goals in 107 Premier League appearances.
* 1 goal every 8 games.
* Last season: 7 goals in 33 apps.
* This season: 3 goals in 19 appearances.
It is utter madness to even consider signing a forward with a strike rate of one every eight games. I don't doubt Di Santo's potential, but the stats don't lie, and Liverpool do not need any more non-scoring strikers.
Additionally, the Reds already have Fabio Borini and Samed Yesil to fill the 'strikers with great potential' slots. The club must focus on buying *proven goalscorers*. Anything less than that - and I include Daniel Sturridge here - is negligence.
From Fernando Torres to Franco DiSanto in two years? What next, a bid for Titus Bramble?

Haha Titus Bramble. Not sure if he ever featured for Chelsea reserves but Jeffrey Bruma did so he might be worth a look :-) It's getting ridiculous now isn't it? I'm actually worried about this one because, in fairness, I never thought we would be going for Borini and then Sturridge so I laughed both suggestions away. As it stands now, DiSanto seems an actual target and I couldn't agree more with your assessment above of player and manager.
ReplyDeleteNext is- OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
ReplyDeleteNo.No.No. If BR is going to bring in another striker, they should have experience and a good history of goal scoring even if they are approaching 30. We do not need any more young players with potential. Lets have some short term success, even if its only until the younger players mature and progress.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have Santo Claus !!!!
ReplyDeleteFor once I wholeheartedly agree. We are diminishing the status of our club if every signing is a prospect rather than a likely member of a championship winning team. We are twelve points behind the total we should have at this stage of the season purely and simply because of the failure to develop the recruitment infrastructure over the last 18 months and the subsequent failures in the transfer window. The last four transfer windows have been the worst off field performances in the history of the club. First the criminal waste of money on Cole, konchesky, poulsen, then the cataclysm that was carroll, followed by the fiscal abortion of Henderson and downing, then the final humiliation of nobody this summer. During that time others have spent well and overtaken us. I can't believe that a group of sports billionaires have made so many management failings.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with you much Jamie but this is spot on I am a die hard and love the reds but I'm becoming delusioned.
ReplyDeleteThis signing would be the all confirmation that we need that the manager is an absolute joke, and the owners or the people advising the owners at least need to walk away and let someone come along and do a proper job in making the club challengers again
ReplyDeleteDiSanto????Liverpool should buy another defensive midfielder who can bully our opponent...to me sturridge and suarez is a better partnership than cole and yorke...downing should play more on the left so he can supply the ball more from the flanks like beckham...(i admit he's not as good as beckham but at least he still can deliver the ball from the flank well)...sterling reminds me of a young giggs....and if gerrard can find his old shooting boots against olympiakos 2005....we just need somebody who can do the dirty works...
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with this article.
ReplyDeleteI have supported BR's appointment and continued to support him through his tenure because I like the guy's philosophy, how he tries to play football and generally how he treats people.
However, if we end up in for this player when clearly we need goals I will be very disappointed. If so, this is exactly one of the reasons why Liverpool have struggled recently. Poor ambition. It is becoming similar to the "players" we were looking at under Roy Hodgson.
In fact BRs record is at the level of Roy Hodgson. A few weeks ago I would have laughed at anyone comparing the 2 managers but now I am starting to wonder.
It seems to me that BRs stubborness one of his weaknesses, we have already seen it - Carroll loaned out without a replacement, this insistance that only a "certain" type of player will do e.g. a player who can play a certain role - it seems strange to me to go out of your way to get rid of a 3 stars out of 5 target man and replace him with a 1.5 out of 5 trequarista sort of player just because that is the "style" of front man that BR likes.
Well, if this 1 in 8 goals man is brought to Liverpool then it is just another nail in the coffin of our club. I am sick of seeing other clubs pick up very good players eg Swansea buying Michu for 2M whilst the quality of our squad is reduced with each transfer window by bringing in players like Di Santo - (BR's Konchesky). Who is running our club and why do we seem to employ people who make decisions like this?
Absolutely spot on pal.
ReplyDeleteYou've got to be kiddin' me. If FSG are still moneyball-ers, surely the stats on this guy would kill any inkling of a deal...
ReplyDelete-------Lucas--Tiote----------
ReplyDeleteGerrard--------------Downing
-------Suarez
------------Sturridge
I hope this deal never ever ever gets done.
ReplyDeletedowning should play on left? Downing should play in Burton Albion.
ReplyDeleteorme...tiote is one of the main candidate...but i'll prefer sterling rather than lucas...one dmc is enough...we should move forward and lucas can't make physical contact like tiote or m'vila...
ReplyDeleteHopefully it's just paper talk... hopefully! Hopefully we won't have the money to spend on him anyway, as crazy as that sounds!!
ReplyDeleteOn a side note I think it would be silly to let Coates leave on loan or permanently in this window.
i would not bank on it because if we lose against qpr i would not let him loose with brass buttons never mind real money
ReplyDeletedisagree with Downing - he should be nowhere near our team sheet.
ReplyDeleteToo much, me thinks... And I wouldn't dismiss Lucas so fast..
ReplyDeleteLETS PLEASE buy Holtby!!
ReplyDeleteusing hammans logic we should sign every striker who plays against us as they all give agger and skirtel a hard time ...remember andy carroll bossing skirtel around for 90mins.....listen rogers has already wasted 30million we may as well go the whole hog while its the season of good will and let him waste more ive give up....
ReplyDeleteActually me too. But not because of his abilities which would be useful with someone who can poke a header, but because of that shhh to the Kop..
ReplyDeleteFor the love of God, please.....NO!!!!!! A couple of "prospects" in any team is more than enough. We have an abundance of potential prospects as it is, especially if the Sturridge deal does happen, to be closely followed by Ince and Butland. I welcome these three players with open arms as I see what they could bring to the team now and in the future, but it needs to stop there! Or at least slow down a bit! Any more players added at present need to be proven at this level to give us some experience on the pitch which we are running very, very short on. We have aspirations of top four but our transfers do not reflect this. I still have faith based primarily on hope and that hope wishes for the Di Santo deal to NOT happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHeard a bit about Holty recently but tbh never heard of him before - would we have not heard much more about him before now if he was as good as some seem to suggest? Apparently he is an Everton fan from what I have heard.
ReplyDeletenot to sure if buying this guy matters or not we only pass the ball around in our own half before giving it away .....but apparently thats his master plan ...listen this chump spent 15m on the welsh xavi so there's every chance hell loan coates out without a replacement
ReplyDeleteHaven't we got rid of most of the people who can header bar DCs at set pieces?
ReplyDeleteI have heard much about the quality of Downing's crossing but when he plays on left I only tend to see 2 things, he either gets the ball, passes it back to Enrique then runs behind the defender (playing peek-a-boo apparently) so Enrique has to pass to someone else or Downing puts a horrendous cross in that goes to no-one.
Dont get me wrong, he has put in some decent passes/crosses occasionally and he would have had some assists last year if it were not for shocking finishing.
That being said, I think we should be judging players by their performance vs the wages we are paying out. This is why Cole (approx 90k), Downing (approx 80k), Henderson (approx 70k) must go in my mind - we are paying them too much for what they bring when the wage money would be better freed up on more useful players. I know we will have to take a big, big hit on the fees we paid for them but in my mind I would rather get rid now rather than keep paying their wages for a period longer before selling them - still at a loss...
sorry, also meant to say - totally agree with you about the shhh to the Kop. A silly thing to do for a man in his position and with his abilities.
ReplyDeleteWe get linked with a new player everyday, I really doubt this will happen. The noises about Sturridge seem the loudest, he would certainly be better than Di Santo, although a bit overpriced at 12 mil imo.
ReplyDeletehes a really good player, fast and nice dribbling skills, a young and hungry german player who would love to play in the premier leage. Hes a Everton fan, but he said once in an interview he would like to play for lfc
ReplyDeleteFair enough DerBaumMann, I haven't seen too much of him tbh so was just wondering why we had not heard much of him before other than when his contract was nearly up. Have you seen him a fair bit then?
ReplyDeletehahaha this is probably the joke of the year ....Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteI hope we sign him, I really hope we do.
ReplyDeleteSo ASSaidi is fit for Moroco, but not for us?!? Nice...
ReplyDeleteRenia - is he even now in the top 10 best premier league goal keepers?
ReplyDeleteJohnson - he is ok and might make in other top six teams
Enrique - ok top half of table player
Skrtel - average
Agger - ok
Lucas - average
Gerrard - used to world class now ok
Sterling - prospect
Suso - prospect
Suarez - world class
Downing - bottom half of premier league player
Player for player we could replace the whole team from the top 6 teams with better. We have big name players because they play for Liverpool but they are no longer the best players in their positions in the top half of the premier league.
That's why we are mid table.
We should offer Benitez a 10 year contract and 5 million a year before it's too late.
ReplyDeleteWhat the f*ck is wrong with this football club? Each and every transfer window that passes is becoming more and more ridiculous. Our squad is getting weakened in the process and we are falling down the EPL season after season. Wake up before its too late, u fools running our football club or get the heck out of here!!!
ReplyDeleteRoy Hodgson:
Paul Konchesky- Flop
Christian Poulsen- Flop
Joe Cole- Flop
Raul Meireless: Good
Kenny Dalglish:
Suarez: World Class
Sebastian Coates: Flop
Charlie Adam: Flop
Jordan Henderson: Big Flop
Stewart Downing: Super Big Flop
Andy Caroll: Mega Flop (BIGGEST FLOP EVER IN FOOTBALL HISTORY!)
Brendan Rodgers:
Fabio Borini: Flop
Joe Allen: Average
Nuri Sahin: Flop
Oussama Assaidi: Flop
Saned Yesil: Flop
and coming soon
Daniel Porridge???
Tom Inch??
Di Santa Claus!!!?
Please God make it that these are just paper talk!!! Otherwise, if these are really the kind of players that we are after, those fools at the head of our football club( Rodgers, FSG, Ayre) must be smoking some really strong CRACK if they think we have any chance of getting in top 4 ever again!!!
Agger- world class, Johnson- world class, Lucas- surely more than average.
ReplyDeleteYep, me sometimes. Im from austria, but im nearly just interested in the PL. A mate of mine is watching the German Bundesliga Week in week out, hes not a schalke fan but he sais this guys i an outstanding talent.
ReplyDeleteBRENDAN - TIME IS RUNNING OUT MATE - HONEYMOON PERIOD WELL AND TRULY GONE - WE HAVE SPIES EMPLOYED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND WE CHOOSE INCE AND STURIDGE - COME ON MAN WAKE UP - AND WHERE IS THIS BORINI BLOKE ???????????????????
ReplyDeleteAgger and Johnson world class? You're having a laugh. Agger is close to WC, but Johnson is most definitely not (IMO).
ReplyDeleteSuarez is not world class either. He's performed at domestic and international level, but not in the CL, and he cannot be world class until he's done the business at all three levels.
Of all LFC players, he is most likely to enter the realms of WC though.
Any other good news jamie? Lol, what the fcuk are our scouts up to? Scraping the barrell even being linked to this loser
ReplyDeleteSuarez not world class???? oh my god he is a player any team in the world would have...
ReplyDeleteTo suggest he is anything other then world class is absolutely absurd
hahahahahaahha
ReplyDeleteHaha, that gif.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, turns up once in a while but beyond that, Di Santo hasn't been anything to write home about. Martinez does have quite a few players in that group that are technically good but beyond their technical ability, they aren't all that, such as the likes of Gomez, Beausejour, Crusat, etc. But because of the team's playing style, they fit in, although they aren't successful. They get some bargains once in a while, Wigan, but overall, not been that been impressed with their bargain hunting for a while. Very much players that fit in a particular team way of playing. Beyond that, as individual players, I don't rate a lot of their players.
It does seem like Rodgers is either going for players that he has worked with, the club has worked with or going for players from teams that have common traits, in terms of playing style. E.g. Sahin played at Dortmund, where they played a short passing game and still do. Probably I am jumping the gun and its too early to conclusively work out a pattern behind his signings.
Or payroll for that matter
ReplyDeletecan't see a single piece of evidence to say that this is real. So Hamaan likes him, so what?
ReplyDeleteJust scare stories. Show me some proof before everybody loses their minds
You know what really aches? We sold Raul to Chelski to accomodate Henderson and Adam. Does that hurt or what? We spent a net amount of some 15 million on two players to replace one player and they still couldn't do it. Then we spent another 15 million on another player to replace one of them! Had we just kept Raul, we'd be 30 million quid better off plus wages!
ReplyDeleteHurts badly!
ReplyDeleteBetter CB's than Agger?
ReplyDelete* Sergio Ramos
* Carles Puyol
* Mats Hummels
* Thiago Silva
* Vincent Kompany
Can't find 5? Or you are gonna come up with 25 so it's taking time? And Atl. Madrid drops out of cl and Falcao rated 40 mil is not wc, and Cavani is? Do not understand that...
ReplyDeletesame level, used to be, don't really know, same level, not a chance.
ReplyDeleteFour more better defensively than Agger:
ReplyDelete* Ryan Shawcross
* Phil Jagielka
* Thomas Vermaelen
* Giorgio Chiellini
not achance x4
ReplyDeleteAnd why would a host of top clubs enter a chase for Suarez if he ain't wc? Because he is a prospect?!?
ReplyDeleteOuch!... :-/
ReplyDeleteI think it is just media stuff. If we do sign him, then that would be the last straw, or final nail.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Johnson isnt, and Agger is only close. Suaraz though is imo. True he aint been in CL, but he plays for his country at World level, and does very well. I don`t think you need to have played CL to be worldclass, that would be more Club class lol. World Class to me is performing for your country on a World scale well, he does that.
ReplyDeleteWorld class to me is performing on a World level, not CL level, so I agree he is World Class. This does depend though on what people think world class means. Is is just if you picked a first 11, would they be in the side??? to me that would be the best World Class settings. There should only be 11 world Class players imo, the rest should be called something else. World Class along with "the next" get thrown about too much.
ReplyDeleteI see what you are saying, and agree, but Yesil is a young player, and it is not fair to call him a flop, when he wasnt signed for the first team. Price also comes into it. Assaidi was cheap, so again to early to tell.
ReplyDeleteWe have made a lot of players look like world beaters over the last decade.
ReplyDeleteKevin Lisbie for example.
Di Santo is good but we need top quality, proven striker.
Man Utd linked with Lewandowski again, they already have Rooney, RVP, Welbeck, Hernandez............ We have Suarez........... What a joke....
I don't think it would be difficult for Agger to get in the starting eleven of say England, Barca, France or manu- that does it for me. Spent too many words on Johnson, and I see why people disagree but I still rate him highly. And if we need an explain Suarez than damn...
ReplyDeleteSadly I think you might be right.
ReplyDeleteDonkey in the AC mould. im glad didi doesnt manage us.
ReplyDeleteWe are not going to sign Di Santo. The only reason why we are being linked is because he is 23 and we are short on attacking options. We have been linked with just about every player out there so just is another story like we always have when the transfer window nears.
ReplyDeleteSuarez and Sturridge are better than cole and york!?!?! I am a die hard pool fan and hate those manic with every fiber in my body but that comparison is laughable at best. Suarez is a great player but, as Jamie has often mentioned, not clinical enough. Both york and cole had a goal/every other game strike ratio for manu which is pretty good to say the least! That partnership is one of the best the prem has ever seen with them leading manu to five titles and, no disrespect, but that comment was delusional at best. Having said that, I completely agree with the DM comment. Been saying it for weeks because the sooner we can provide cover for our defenders and stop leaking goals the sooner one or two goals are wins instead of loses and draws. Moussa Sissoko is the answer but knowing BR, IF we get cover expect Frimpong as his #1 choice (young, british, and terrible)
ReplyDeleteCan't believe what unsupporting supporters we have these days! Most on here probably weren't even old enough to see us dominate in the 80's, just like following a team they can say has won this and that down the years. Now we've got a whole thread slagging off Rodgers about a player only the media and an ex player has linked with us! Anything t the moment to aggressively criticise the manager it would seem
ReplyDeletePisses me off as well the total disrespect football fans have these days. Used to think it was just gonners who were fickle, but its clearly an endemic with modern football fans. The Venky's, Roman etc. don't help either.
ReplyDeleteThere are not many players around like Suarez. His talent is phenomenal and can walk into any team in the world which without a shadow of a doubt makes him world class.
ReplyDeleteAgger, our best defender but he will sit on the bench if he had to go to a club like Barcelona.
Johnson is great at going forward but defensively he is a one of our biggest liabilities. The fact that we let Arbeloa go for 4 million and replaced him with Johnson who cost us 18 million still baffles my brains.
He cannot be WC until his done business at all three levels? You mean Pele is not WC?

What about this list of utter rubbish?
I am sure more can be added to my list too ;)
ReplyDeleteSuarez won Copa America and reached semis of WC, he qualifies as world class in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteThis is some cruel joke by those who say that Liverpool is going to continue to be a mid table club, because that is a mid table signing.
ReplyDeleteHmm every shocker I can remember seems to be on your list redforlife.
ReplyDeleteI also remember how some of the were billed -
Cheyrou - the new Zidane
Salif - the new Vieira
This as much as anything is why we have fallen from grace - shocking transfer activity over a number of years. Not just the last couple of windows. Every side has their bad buys but this lot - absolutely shocking.
Perhaps a side comp to identify the worst 11 of all time would not go amiss :-)
Bang on the money
ReplyDeleteLooking at and remembering the list of flops from redforlife as well as our domination in the late 70s and throughout the 80s may be a source of frustration to some, it certainly is to myself. It does not necessarily make people unsupportive, just passionate.
ReplyDeleteConstructive criticism with sound reasoning always has a place, however I can see your point as some of the rhetoric that flies about from time to time would struggle to even be labelled unsupportive.
I am guessing many people in this thread are stating their opinions on the "alleged" transfer target rather than directly criticising BR although.
He certainly sounds useful then DerBaumMann, I'll have a look at him.
ReplyDeleteDoes your mate want a job as a scout? Think we could do with some scouts at Liverpool going by redfor life's list of flops :-)
Franco Di Santo on twitter
ReplyDeleteHe tweeted: “I'm a Wigan player and I have contract untill June .. We are in negotiations and I don't have idea about what the news paper said .. :D”
End of the discussion. Now all the moaners can find another player to moan about once another rumour is released by the media.
Sure lets call brendan ;)

ReplyDeleteWe got linked to Ashley Williams, Micheal Dawson, Shane Long, Darren Bent and other dross we were never interested in. Its happens...
Suarez not world class?! Absolute nonsense. Look at his international record for Uruguay and compare it to teammate Cavani who everyone loves. Whos wearing the number 9 shirt of the 2 and is seen as the most iconic player in Uruguay? El Pistolero. Not world class..LOL
ReplyDeletedarren bent scores goals full stop
ReplyDeleteHe is definatly worth a punt! consider where he has had to play and what work he has had to do to bring others into the game! Didi got this one spot on and for £1-2m it is definatly worth a punt! he's an argentine international!!! don't look at his record when he was at chelsea! he was a kid and don't look at his wigan record! he never gets regular service!!! he makes things happen and he seems like he'd swet blood for the team! to few are doing that atm!!!!
ReplyDeleteThink you've misunderstood my post fella. My point about the 80's was that most people bleating on here about how 'shameful' we have performed now and how far we've fallen for Liverpool football club is comparing it to a period they probably weren't even around in. Therefore im trying to acknowledge that times have changed and modern fans shouldn't be comparing now to then. Yet they are using this to beat Rodgers with. The fact is he hasn't turned us into a mid table club, he inherited one. People should look at the last three seasons results. There's only two ways back to the top - one is spending hundreds of millions on new players like Chelsea's and city, which requires a sugar daddy we all hate. Or with no real money build slowly, buying young talented players and giving everyone a chance to develop. That's the route we have had to take but requires time and patience. That obvious however frustrating. Everyone saying sack Rodgers for a 'shake up' - that's exactly what has got us here and what we're trying to do now! Fans are that impatient now that they want a 4th manager sacked in 3 yrs, a manager that actually has a plan and style of play and philosophy. A manager whose signed only 3 players - 2 of which have hardly played for various reasons. Lets just see what happens after another couple of signings and the rest of the season then reevaluate
ReplyDeleteBang on, good post CN
ReplyDeleteWe need experienced quality players and not championship players like Borini, Allen, etc and feel our club should be going for the likes of David Villa to go with the youth we have and we really do need ball winner in there. Apart from our cb and Enrique I can't see where a tackles coming from and can't believe we missed out on Diame that guys a beast in most games ive seen him and makes me lol when I see Allen challenge a ball, he needs some gym work as there's no natural strength coming from him.
ReplyDeleteYess...agree !!!
ReplyDelete
