With that said, a central midfield pairing of Gerrard and Adam would look great on paper but on the field it may not work out quiet as well as both lack the discipline to defend when need be. But if we opt for a three man midfield with Lucas, Gerrard and Adam that would work nicely. That would then leave the likes of Meireles, Spearing and Henderson out of the squad.
For me this is a good headache for Dalglish to have. For many years now we have been crying about the lack of depth in the Liverpool squad. What a joy it would finally be to have the likes of Meireles, Spearing, Adam, Henderson on the bench at times.
So to those fans who think we should not sign Adam, I would say, think again. He did well for Blackpool last season and a step up to a bigger team with better players around him could make him an even better player. Yes, there is a possibility that Adam is a ‘small team player’ and will crumble when playing for a bigger team but with the guidance of our backroom staff, he should do okay.

my comment above was meant 4 Zahid.
Lol @ rotational player you senile old fart your losing the plot, get yourself checked in to a psychiatric unit. Alonso was our best player that season by faar, you sound more like a Manc then a scouser so stop your dribbling and move along muppet
you ask 100% of LFC fans whod they have Alonso or Modric 99% of them would choose Alonso
@zahid: at the risk of talkin 2 much, just tell me one thing Alonso is particularly gud at (apart from long passes n maybe shooting).
I believe statistics do not lie, so tell me, if He was our best player (by far), how come he wasn’t voted LFC player of the season (like Lucas)?
.. oh…. maybe d fans and mgnt also need to get their heads checked…..
or maybe u should just shut d f**k up
Come on guys, this is not a personal battle now, is it? Chill it !
it’s not personal dnt worry it’s just a senile delinquent ranting.
Let’s put it to the fans Alonso vs Modric??????????
hmmm …. senile delinquent….
I thot u said it isn’t personal. just cant help urself uh??
I’ld really love to hear what they think. Especially neutral fans.
I actually don’t know why you guys are arguing on what seems to be clear. I know it’s fun to argue at times but dishing out curses& insult isn’t a nice idea. Meanwhile,yes! Alonso & Modric play in the midfield for their various clubs but their style of play to me is different as I feel Alonso is more defensiv than Modric while Modric is more Attacking than Alonso. So if i’m a club manager and i think i need some1 to make my midfield to be more defensive,i will go 4 Alonso & if what i need on the other hand is someone to make it more attacking, i would prefer Modric. So to me the answer to the question is ‘WHAT DO U NEED IN YOUR MIDFIELD’ as these two players are 1derful players with different strong points & weak points. YNWA
I agree with what your saying and appreciate your opinion mate, but i personally feel Alonso can do the attacking side as well as Modric. Don’t get me wrong Modric has been emmense since Harry took over Spurs and probably the most consistent midfielders past few seasons, but i feel Alonso is the full package, thats my opinion anyway
Nice to read that from you pal. Ynwa
Have been away but had to laugh at folk who can only abuse folk for having a different opinion despite being fans of the same club. Xabi Alonso is all i hear two seasons on get over it, cast your mind back to the second Champs league final when he could not do anything decent and the season we finished second, we had eleven draws and games were thrown away by the lack variation in his passing, if Gerrard was out Xabi would not carry us to victory just another score draw and low scoring to boot.
Xsbi is good player but more suited to the Spanish league, to those who just abuse folk i will rise above cos my vocab and love for Liverpool keeps me focused.
I shocked on how many of us condemned Charlie Adam.. Don’t forget we lost to Blackpool twice last season.. He’s not at Xabi standard, but if King Kenny does not trust him, he won’t buy Adam..
