Looking back at last August, it shows both the desperate situation the club was in and the poor judgement of Roy Hodgson that we shelled out the money we did for Konchesky. I think when he did sign, most Reds fans at least were willing to give him a chance, but it became quickly apparent that he was out of his depth. The most notable error came against Tottenham when he allowed Aaron Lennon to ghost past him in the final minute to seal a 2-1 victory, in a match where the Reds were leading.
The fact that Kenny Dalglish didn’t even give Konchesky a chance when he was appointed Caretaker manager in January indicates how below the standard necessary the 30 year old was for King Kenny. He was quickly shipped out to Nottingham Forest out on loan and it looks that in all likelihood that he will never be seen in a Liverpool shirt again.
Konchesky kind of personified the dark period in the club’s recent history, and hopefully with his departure, along with at least another ten players, the Reds can rebuild an move to bigger and better things. Hopefully Konchesky can have happier time at Leicester and good luck to him too.

ineptitude
Actually, ineptness and ineptitude are both correct and mean (apparently) exactly the same thing.
good luck, goodbye, good riddance!
On your bike you wast of space.
Jog on konchesky! You are up there with torben piechnik and nicky tanner.
He may never have complained but his mum did enough for both of them. Goodbye failure.
Despite the ineptitude of your headline, I agree with your poorly phrased, badly expressed sentiment
Good article,the person to blame is hodgson not konchesky,he didn’t ask to be at liverpool.
The word is ‘ineptitude’, you moron!
If you read ‘A Season on the Brink’ by Guillem Balague – He explains how Rafa reorganised the entire Liverpool side in the ‘Gerrard cup final’ to deal with the threat of Paul Konchesky (who scored anyway). For me, this was proof that Rafa had lost the plot.
Make of it what you will, but Hodgson wasn’t the only one who rated Mr. Konchesky highly. Rafa was actually afraid of him! Glad he’s gone, but to slag him for his mothers comments is unfair. He always gave 100% for us, even with ‘fans’ hurling abuse at him. He is however, a poor player who struggled in the Championship with Forest last year.
Give him a break. To me, Mascherano is a bigger disgrace than this man will ever be. Save your abuse for the likes of him. Good luck to Konchesky at Leicester (Fingers crossed that his mother likes people from Leicester!).
p.s – In David’s defence. ‘Ineptness’ is a word.
The adjective (or adnoun) ‘inept’ describes when a person, or group of persons display incompetence in a role – or prove hey are unfit for purpose eg. ‘he is inept’, or ‘those politicians are inept’.
Ineptness is a descriptive adnoun used to describe when a specified noun is possessive of such traits, our noun in this case being Paul Konchesky. For example – ‘despite his ineptness, he deserved a dignified departure’.
The adjective (or adnoun) ‘silly’ describes when a person, or group of persons, is acting in a foolish, absurd or feeble-minded manner.
Silliness is a descriptive adnoun used to describe when a specified noun is possessive of such traits, our noun in this case being Danny. For example – ‘Despite his silliness, Danny deserves a dignified response’.
Everyone’s a critic these days. Moron is harsh. No need for that.
ineptness is also correct folks.
both variants describe his performances pretty well and i totally agree that a dignified departure is in order.
gud bye,gud luck 2 you.The success of liverpool will be wit u .
In ept he chewed.
Shame on the so called fans getting personal at Konchesky (Imran, Bill, King Kenny etc). Yes he wasn’t up to the standard required for a club of LFCs stature pushing for a top four spot, but has shown he is a decent Premier League player throughout his career so clearly not inept.
Support your club, support the players, stop moaning.
P.S. As many people have already pointed out Ineptness is not a word and never has been to my knowledge.
At least he was on the pitch long enough for up to confirm how inadequate he is. I dont know about u guys but I’ld rather take a decent Premiership-proven leftback like him as backup than A technically gifted Brazilian who gets injured as often as he eats.
just sayin…
Insua doesn’t tho and he did well in Rafa’s last season came up with quite a few assists god only knows why Roy let him go on loan because he’s way better then Konchavski
