If you do leave, good luck David

Sky Sports News are reporting that Liverpool striker David Ngog will be part of the deal that will see Jordan Henderson join from Sunderland. According to reports, the deal is worth £20m with £13million in cash and Ngog valued at £7million. If the deal does go through in this form then I feel the Reds are getting a good deal, not many would feel a straight cash deal of £20million would be a worthwhile use of our transfer budget.

If Ngog does indeed leave, I for one hope the Frenchman goes on to have a good career in the Premier League. Ngog’s has had a somewhat difficult spell at the club, which has not necessarily been of his own making.

He was bought from Paris St-Germain for only £1.5million back in 2008 at the age of 19, and since then he has progressively become part of the first team squad. Mainly due to the financially situation at the club, Ngog quickly found himself back up striker behind Fernando Torres after the departure of Robbie Keane.

Evidently, the Frenchman was not entirely ready for such a role, but with a lack of options in the squad, Ngog was thrust into the limelight, and was criticised for his performances from sections of  thesupport.

In some senses it was justifiable as it was clearly apparent Ngog should not be the sole backup to Torres, a player who had himself suffered a fair few injuries and inevitably meant the youngster had more game time than he perhaps should have had.

  • K Johnie Njora says:

    All the Best Davidi you have a bright future. Will always remember you with First Goal of the Season against Arsenal. Thankyou

  • Andy says:

    I wish him well, it never worked out for him here, partly due to torres insistence on playing as a lone striker. His best moment for us would have to be his goal v Man U and if for nothing else we should wish him good luck in the future.

  • Dan says:

    redz you are a plonker and not a try red. it’s not Ngogg’s fault and end if the day we didn’t lose anything and he was there the few times we needed him. I hate it when so called supporters don’t back their team and mangers thru good or bad they wear the red jersey and apart from torres and jovac no other player has moaned or said anything bad or done anything bad to receive the crap people like you lay out. Unless you can play any better keep your thoughts to yourself

    • redfan23 says:

      Dan, to call him a ‘plonker’ is a compliment. we could throw in ‘brain-dead’ ‘pig ignorant’, or, in his own words, ‘waste of dpace’. So called ‘supporters like redz the club can do without. Ngog never really got a fair deal at Liverpool. He often ended up isolated up front, especially under Hodgson. he tried, and I think he will end up as a more than fair striker

  • red33pool says:

    may the spirit of L4 fans and club be with you david, Good Luck

  • Paul says:

    good riddance

  • Jack says:

    Good to see most of our fans wishing him well. Pity that there will always be a couple of morons.

  • m williams says:

    All the best David!People like Redz and Paul are not true reds fans and are the real plonkers- just glory hunters who don’t understand the culture of the club. Ngog gave his best and I wish him all the best. God bless you David.

  • Steve says:

    Agree with the majority here and wish him well.

    Shame on those with nothing positive to say, as fans we should back everyone who represents the club (until they speak out and then they’re fair game!). David did what was asked of him to the best of his ability and never complained – can you ask for more?

    • Martin Badger says:

      Yes, you could ask for a bit of talent. N’gog didn’t have any. Get the idea?

  • Fivelamps says:

    Best of luck for the future – you’ll always get a warm welcome from the kop

  • fowler9 says:

    Redz you’re a tard. Ngog did a good job for us and popped up with a few important goals. He’s nowhere near the finished article but when the penny drops and he has the confidence to throw himself about he’ll be a good striker. Best of luck

  • Martin Badger says:

    The best thing about the Sunderland deal is that N’gog is leaving. He was strictly a Sunday league player and even in the park he’d be nothing special. It’s a disgrace that a club of Liverpool’s stature has players like that on the books. Thank God he’s leaving. No more of that silly smirk when he miscontrols the ball or gives it away.

  • Martin Badger says:

    I too would give my best if I played for Liverpool. But it wouldn’t be enough – just as it isn’t with N’gog. One of the reasons we never win anything is that the fans are too soft on their players. Anything and anybody is good enough for us. Hardly the attitude that made us great.
