Reading that there is some unrest within Man City and Didi Hamman might be looking for a move.

How about getting him back at LFC and groomed for a coaching role with Rafa and the team. At the same time he could still offer us something in the middle of the park (in a bit part/occasional subs role if and when required). Didi's main role could be as a reserve team coach!!

This would then allow us to release Lucas and/or Plessis on loan (we need to see if they have what it takes to be LFC players and a loan move might be help him prove this) or sell them(?).

Not sure if Didi left LFC (and Rafa) on good terms though so this might not be a viable option.

Didi's an LFC legend IMO and I'd love to see him back at Anfield.

Ps...title should read Didi Hamann (in case anyone wondered who I was on about).

Better to give players like lucas and plessis time on the pitch than briing back didi - hero but cant turn back the clock now .

I didn't like when he left because his sober style of football was much of my taste.

But I haven't followed him these years, do you think he's still more or less the same footballer?

If he is, he'd be a better option than a too young Plessis should we lose Alonso for injuries or Mascherano in a Argentina game.

Seem to remember when Gary Mac was signed a few years ago that a lot of us thought wtf but were proved very very wrong - maybe Didi could provide similar back up at relatively low cost.

The thing with gary mac is he wasnt prone to injuries and last couple of years didi has had a spell on the sidelines a lot - no way should he come back

Not even as a coach which was what the original post asked? I'd love to see him back. Didi at half speed is still three times the midfielder Lucas will ever be.

I watched the 2005 CL Final again 2 nights ago. No one needs reminding that Didi was a great player but he´s way to old to cope with our level of football today.

Training staff maybe, but his playing days are over.

Where is Gary Mac these days?

by **GYBS** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 2:15 pm

Why do we need him as coach ? the players seem to be doing well enough in midfield without him as coach . how do you know how good lucas will be ? how good was didi at his age ? was he a star at lucas age , he only got himself established around the age of 24ish and national team around 25ish ? playing international football at 21 ? you cant compare the two , so lets see what happens when lucas gets to that age shall we. we dont need a 35/36 year old defensive midfielder . people go on about giving youth a chance then talk about not playing them to let them develop and bring a 35 year old in instead . Lucas is not at the level of the three ahead of him but as a forth choice cm he does a decent job and this season hasnt let the side down once when he has started or come on.

and reg gary mac is leeds manager at the moment - doing an ok job.

...Oh I dunno, we're still going a couple of goals down then fighting to win a game, just like 25/5/05.

Where is Gary Mac these days?

...errr... Leeds utd?

bringing him as a coach is a good idea. he will be able to teach players like Lucas and Plessis with his vast experience.

by **DanAn** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 2:44 pm

It defies logic signing him. We just don't need another midfielder and if we did than surely we can wait until summer for Barry
