I think we should all chip in and buy Stu a dictionary, while he may believe Heskey has great ability (stop laughing), he is entitled to think that, but you cannot add "FACT" after your opinion to all of a sudden make them undisputed.

I do agree with Stu that Heskey has ability but I think one night he went home after training, put all his ability into a sock, and flushed it down the jacks.

I now realise stu was right that Heskey has ability - to fall over and make other players look good

Many of you think "sell Heskey" as if that would achieve anything (apart from about 3m which is not much to a big club like Liverpool).

Heskey's bad form is Houlliers fault. Heskey was absolute class at leicter and in his first season at liverpool but then houllier started having a bad effect on him and therefore many bad-mouth him.

Everything has been said about him playing out position and not being used as an out and out striker but I wont go into that.

If a new manager comes in Heskey will once again shine. There is a reason why one of europe's top managers ia a big fan of his. The manager is Martin O'Neill the man who is the solution to liverpools and heskeys bad form.

In another thread there was this question
"Can you see Heskey getting 20 goals a season under any manager ?" I answered Yes I can see him do it and I HAVE ALREADY SEEN HIM DO IT.

Selling Heskey wont achieve anything we'd only be loosing a PROVEN GOALSCORER IN THE PREMIERSHIP. A new manager would get his confidence up and he would become a goal-scoring machine once again.

If a good manager comes in the summer I GUARANTEE Heskey will surprise many of those who had doubts about his skill and goal scoring ability.

i am new but i think Heskey is a waster has a good game 1 week and miss handy chances da next liverpool can not afford 2 dish out wages for someone like that at this time :

I have to say, as I am sure I have on a previous thread, I really like Heskey, he works his socks off and puts in the hard work where ever houllier has asked him to. But the same theory could be applied to Biscan, he tries his hardest despite being played centre back ,left and right wing and midfield. Now before you start quoting me and using expletives let me explain ...

Heskey is an average centre forward, but he has the potential to be outstanding, he has all the attributes you would associate with a great striker, pace, power, good work ethic, makes great runs, battles hard and holds the ball up effectivley. The point is however that any striker, no matter what league you play in is judged on the amount of times they score goals. Van Nostrilhair, Henry, Ronaldo, they all score lots of goals and are highly regarded. Heskey does not score enough and therefore is not good enough.

Biscan is an average footballer, but has the potential to be outstanding, he has all the attributes of a good defender, he is relativley quick, he can bring the ball out of defence and he is good in the air. However the point here is that any defender must concentrate for 90 mins and not allow mistakes to let the opposition score goals. No matter which league you play in the defender is judged on the amount of times the opposition score, and more importantly score from your mistakes. Maldini, Terry, Costacurta, they make very few mistakes and are rightly hailed as amongst the best defenders in football. Biscan sadly makes too many mistakes and has been directly responsible for a number of goals and defeats this season.

My point is, if Heskey was a central defender then no reds fan would be saying keep him. If Biscan was playing up front, many more would applaud his hard work and determination and overlook his lack of goals.

FOOTBALL IS A SIMPLE GAME, COMPLICATED BY IDIOTS

Biscan should be up front.

Sorry, stunned at some posters on here! we need to keep Heskey, how can top managers like Gerrard and SVEN, yes, thats SVEN the ENGLAND manager be wrong, next you will be wanting Sven out for putting that Smith on the wing and our boy up front in the last freindly??

Again, short memories, he lacks confidence and maybe if we ALL backed him he could come alive again???

Leon, don't misunderstand me here, I know you're saying Heskey ain't up to scratch.

You make a good point that he has all the attributes to become outstanding but he's missing the KEY ONE - he has to be able to realise his potential by bringing all aspects of his game together and sadly he just can't do it. He's had 5 years and almost limitless patience and he just cannot get it together often enough to play for LFC.

Gerrard isn't a manager, Kermit's the manager. Neither Houllier nor SGE has a clue, they are both CLUELESS MUPPETS. Smith is not a winger, neither is Heskey. We could well bow out of Euro 2004 at the first hurdle, will so many be convinced by SGE then?

Heskey always lacks confidence, where's the point in keeping a player who misses as often as he does and therefore never gains the necessary confidence. He had a couple of decent spells a couple of years ago - form is temporary, class is permanent.

Owzat what would selling heskey avhieve ?

At least this way we can have a GOOD striker on the bench.

The only time I would approve of Heskey being sold is if we got a class striker and another fairly good one. Like Ibrahimovic and Earnshaw. And even then I would be sad to see Heskey leave.

I am surprised how many of us reds rate Heskey,personally I think he is a pile of Sh**e, never was any good at Leicester and has never been any good for us. Sell him I would say but WTF would pay for him??
