The greatest trick Rodgers ever pulled was making people believe the committee is responsible for everything and he never signed anyone he wanted

Lallana Benteke Milner Allen Lovren Borini etc were all guys he wanted and got. The committee and Rodgers each signed their own players. And I'd say the committee has a better record than that fraudster

In fact the committee was setup in the first place because Rodgers (who wouldn't take the Liverpool job if there's a DoF) and his judgement was questioned when he turned up to the club and said he wanted Allen for 15 mil and Borini for 12, then got angry coz we wouldn't sign him Dempsey.

So the commitee was set up and they signed Coutinho and Sturridge, whom Rodgers didn't want.
You're speaking too much sense for a bomber and scouse. You drunk?

Adebayor is even more special , he can convince Levy to pay him 100k a week when he's not even at the club anymore.
A bit different. Poch wants him nowhere near the team. Levy tried to flog him off and couldn't so we are where we are. Not so much he convinced Levy more so that he has a legally binding contract and the head coach would rather pay him to do nothing than disrupt the team culture.

This Andros Townsend sale is genius from Levy - the guy must be able to sell sand to Arabs.

Almost as brilliant as when Wenger convinced Conte that taking Bendtner on loan would be a good idea & beneficial for Juve.
