Man of Honour
I'm kind of surprised that we were only linked with Appiah, he would have added some good experience to the squad.
José Ángel Sánchez said:He is a player we have been looking at for a long time and it is likely we will bid for him in January. He is a world-class player and without a doubt he would fit into our system. We already had plans about buying Agger this summer, along with some other players, but the Robinho situation took so much attention and demanded so many resources from the club that we had to drop the plans about putting a bid in for Agger and other players that we had in mind. What we need is a defender and a striker and, at the moment, Agger is on top of our list.
Im not sure where people have been getting this idea about Carra's form over the last 2 seasons. Admittedly, by his standards, he had a poor mid to end of last season (and being switched to rb and a unstable cb pairing wouldn't have helped) but his form for the 18 months prior to that was excellent.yeah i don't see carragher keeping it up permanently, he's playing his best now that he has for a couple of seasons but in all honesty Agger is a better player than him when his fitness is there and his head is right. Agger could be up there with the best defenders in england and europe in a season or two.
Sorry i meant 1 season after this, so more or less 2 seasons. But regardless of that if he was to say he's wants to go then the club would have to listen to offers in the summer, if not January. Both Parry and Rafa have spoken about a new deal for him and Rafa actually came out today to say he's not for sale and part of the long-term future of the club (as well as Agger himself saying he's committed to staying) so hopefully this gets sorted soon.I didn't realise he only had 1 season left on his deal, it does kind of tip the balance in the players favour a little. just depnds if he does want to go and how much your owneers and manager value him. it'd be a mistake to sell in my opinion and a very bad one unless they could bring in a replacement almost immediately. imagine staying in touch with the top 2 until feb and then one of your centre backs gets injured for rest of season with no replacement in. you'd go bloody crazy at the shortsightedness.
