I like Eric Gerets ,so out of all the quotes attributed to Assaidi I picked this one . 

Eric Gerets once told Adel Taarabt when he left him out for Morocco: “Watch (Assaidi) & you’ll figure why you’re not in the team"

If he isn't good enough to play regularly in the first team, then is he just going to take game time from the likes of Sterling. If so, then it is probably a bad move, despite the low price and possible profit made selling him on.

Still, we are hardly blest with a plethora of wide men so am I worried about nothing?

Are you assuming that BR would do a Kenny and insist on playing his signing even if it obviously wasn't working, no my friend we have moved on into the professional era now where we have talented players, talented owners and above all else talented managers with well thought out tactics that won't allow for underperforming players.

I'm extremely excited by this signing and at £3 million even if he turn out obe ***** we can probably recoup most of that money, if not turn a good profit, so there is no downside at all.

Welcome to the club Ferrari.

I agree with you that there is no downside on a £3m deal as he does have technical ability. But we won't be seeing a lot of him early in the season as he will definitely struggle with the pace and strength of the EPL and defensive contribution off the ball that BR will require of him. It's really just down to how much he wants to develop further.

Don't recall Suarez struggling with the pace or strength of the premiership, why should it be any different for Ferrari?

whose ferrari?

I don't recall Suarez struggling either?

erm, kenny dalglish is the only manager in liverpool`s history to win every domestic trophy and he is one of only a handful of managers in the entire history of the english game who have won the title with 2 different clubs. he was literally a minute away from 4 titles in 5 years and if the f.a hadnt have made us play 6 games in 16 days at the end of that season because of the fixture backlog after hillsborough he would have achieved it.
dalglish`s team was good enough to win at least a couple of european cups but obviously the ban prevented them from doing that, i`m just telling you this because i`m trying to get it into your head how good a side dalglish build.
when rodgers has done all that and more then you can make your sly digs if you want to, but why anyone would want to make a sly dig at one of the greatest figures in this clubs history is beyond me anyway.

Oh you misunderstand, it's not a sly dig. I don't rate Kenny as a great manager at all. He was good in his first spell when he took over a fantastic team and maintained the momentum but the wheels were already starting to come off even before he handed over the reigns to Souness. As for Blackburn they bought the league so that doesn't really count although he did ok I guess. At Newcastle and Celtic he was a joke. In his second spell with us he was not much better than Hodgson really in terms of the league, with predictable tactics and horrific signings. I for one was delighted to see the back of him and feel that we are finally starting to move forwards as a club again now with good owners and a fantastic young manager with fresh ideas and tactical nouse.

You think KK was just good in his first spell ?!

He won 3 fecking titles in 5 years !!! That's outstanding

And then he took a team from the second division to the title in 3 years !!!

Do you really have a clue

Looks like there is love in the air..?

One thing I can say about BR - he shows his players a warm hand!!

Now let's see what we can do - starting tomo - 3 points to get the snow ball rolling!!!!!

Yes, Kenny did not have a successful second spell but bad mouthing him you should be ashamed son, he has left and you feel the need to crucify our greatest ever player

No need for it mate you should be ashamed of yourself

He probably doesn't even rate his as one of our best players, let alone the best.

ah now hang on a second, I never criticised him as a player did I? he was a brilliant player and a good manager back in the day.
But come on his second spell in charge was a complete disaster, IN TERMS OF THE LEAGUE, yes it was nice with the cup runs, incl the worthless cup win aganst mighty Cardiff, but it did not compensate for the cr@p signings and awful tactics.

The signings werent *****.

Luis Suarez Jose Enrique both came in under Kenny. Even Carroll and Henderson i dont think were particullary bad, Yes they came for alot of money but thats not theres or Kennys fault.

When he took over in Jan 2011 we had an amazing run under him. Unfortunate circumstances last year Suarez suspension injuries to Stevie and Lucas wasnt ideal.

The league position last year wasnt what we should be getting but i do think he should have been given another 6 months.

Saying that im looking forward to Brendans ERA

There is a massive difference in quality between them. Assaidi has pace but isn't really on par as far as footballing intelligence is concerned. He has technical ability but doesn't use it in efficiently. I'm hoping that BRs style brings discipline to his game because it has the potential to develop him into a quality player.

As I said, he is still young and has technical ability. He has a couple of years on his side to develop further and become a real asset during his peak years.
