We all know what the problem is. Agger is great, but always injured.
So we buy a quality CB who can walk into the first team in the summer, and whenever Agger is fit we have a selection headache and when he is not we dont.
Easy.

Easy if you've got a bottomless pit of money with which to pay generous sums to players who only feature occasionally. I like Agger, and he generally improves us when he comes in, but we need players who we can rely on, and who justify their wages. I'm not sure Agger is cost effective, or really worth persevering with. I suspect we'd still make a profit on him, so it might be best to just throw in the towel. He'll never be a regular for us.

According to Agger he's 100 pct. Whatever that means.
Bendtner however and Kjær are now both very doubtful after sustaining injuries during last nights training session.
Can't quite fathom why our players are doing their utmost to injury the few good ones we've got.
Ah well. As long as Eriksen and Agger stays fit Hansern & co will have a tough game on their hands.
NB I don't call anyone mountain monkeys. Apart from mountain monkeys.

How "injured" are they really though? 😉
Incidentally the referee for our upcoming Xpert League friendly is called Sten something. Which kind of Scando does that make him, and does it mean he'll be favouring you lot?

He will. He's boss that Sten. ;D
Don't know about Bendtner but Kjær's sounds rather serious sadly. Step up Zanka.
Just glad Agger says he's 100 pct. fit otherwise he wouldn't be training. Has he finally learned his lesson after all these years?

Oh, right. He's a fupping Dane then. Probably on the same flight as you too. >🙁 😉

Tbf Kris, he's said this before, declared himself 100% fit, only to then play and break down.

Got injured in training today when he got clattered into by Niclas Pedersen.
Didn't continue training after that, but no word yet about the injury. Hopefully he's alright.
[/quote]
Hansern and Binny are excellent to find gossip and news all over the interweb.
BTW, What country are you from dude? I was thinking Danish for a min but then you haven't shown your undenying love for Nic Bendtner. Apologies if that is considered nosey.
[/quote]
No problem at all mate. I'm Norwegian, and therefor can't stand Bendtner at all..
The Danish team is currently training here in Norway as we play each other on saturday, in what could be the most important international game for a decade or two.
If we win we're nearly in the EC and Denmark is always a tough and competitive game.
They call us mountain monkeys, and think we play like Wimbeldon while they're Barcelona...
[/quote]
Haha.
I must watch this match.

He'll obviously play and aggravate this knock. It's the Agger way.
[/quote]
Yeah, that does seem to be the most likely scenario.

Agger is my favourite player and if he could get over is injuries could be a world beater. However, I doubt he'll ever be a 'reliable' player and should a right alternative be available I'd consider cashing in.
I saw an interview with him recently on SSN where he had a scouse accent! Anyone on here catch it?

Works out to be an avg of around 16 full PL matches per season over 5 seasons.

Yeah, someone put a clip up on here. He did have a bit of an accent, though nowhere near as strong as his pal Jan Molby.

And if Fabio Aurelio could get over his injuries we wouldn't need a left back. But it doesn't work like that sadly.

Great video Binny.
That defensice header of his about 1:00 in is pure class.
If intentional of course (which it was, obviously).

Copy paste mate, that link requires a nickname.
The recent revival in fortunes for the Reds under Kenny Dalglish has seen an improvement in virtually every member of the first team.
The reasons for the sharp upturn in results are ten-fold, a whirlwind end to the transfer window helped galvanise a squad that lost star striker Fernando Torres, but ushered in Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll. Many players have simply regained their form and confidence, but many have the return of King Kenny as manager as being the fundamental element to the return to winning ways.
The Reds have taken twenty points from a possible thirty since Dalglish returned and many players are benefitting from the Scot’s style of management, none more so perhaps than Daniel Agger.
Dalglish’s preferred formation of wing-backs has allowed Agger to thrive on the left side of a three-man defence.
The system allows the stylish Dane to bring the ball out of defence without fear of leaving a singular centre-back partner isolated against opposition strikers.
The former Brondby man has had to ‘plug a gap’ in the left back position at various times this season, but under Dalglish’s 3-5-2 system, Agger is allowed to play his natural game and as such is one of the most aesthetically pleasing central defenders in European football.
Cultured, elegant and an eye for the spectacular, Agger has the ability of a classy central midfielder and combines it with a toughness needed at centre-back.
However, since his arrival in January 2006, he has made just 135 appearances, and only 15 Premier League appearances this season. It is a monkey that grips firmly onto his back, but when Agger takes to the field, there is little dispute over his ability.
The last six games he has played have yielded six wins and the victories have been achieved without conceding a goal.
Of course, everyone in the defence and the team as a whole must take credit for this, but it gives an insight into how important he is to the team.

Much appreciated Paul, cheers.
I don't think anyone doubts his quality (even if some are over the top about it), but we all know what the problem is.
Let's wait and see shall we...
