bye bye Maxi

[Fox]

wave said it all, really enjoyed him playing for us.

Good luck Maxi

 

[Skullflower]

bit gutted actually. brilliant squad player.

 

[Gary25]

Loved him, class little player. Criminally undervalued/used by Kenny.

Can't get my head around the fact he's going to leave ahead of Downing just because he's 3 years older(3 ffs) and doesn't hold a British Passport. Downing's not fit to lace his boots.

Thanks for the memories Maxi, and good luck.

 

[gene hughes]

He was kinda shite until Kenny arrived too, strangely enough.

 

[gkmacca]

A delightful player to watch when in form. No doubt he'll get even better once he's gone, like Sami got younger and found some pace, but Maxi deserves the warmest of send-offs and it was a pleasure to have him at the squad.

[acejmk]

Sad to see him go if he does

 

[Modo]

Maxi did well and I think he's been treated unfairly.
Where's the Aurelio thread?

Very handy player, and it's a mistake to weaken our squad strength like this ... Maxi, Kuyt etc are great guys for their contribution on and off the pitch. YNWA MAXI!

KD on outgoing players: "We're not looking to move anyone out, the only one who will be moving is Fabio (Aurelio) who is out of contract."

 

[Fabio]

He'll go still sadly. So will kuyt. The club may want to keep them but we can't promise them loads of starts.

Criminally undervalued and mis-used by Roy and Rafa too

Always liked Maxi, it'll be a pity to see him leave as he's still valuable as a squad player ... he was never really going to be a starter for us next season though.

Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella has called up Augusto Fernandez for the upcoming friendly against Brazil after Maxi Rodriguez withdrew from the squad for family reasons.

Liverpool's Rodriguez took the decision to pull out of the squad for the game in the United States because his wife is expecting a child.

That freed up a space for Velez Sarsfield winger Fernandez, who has previously represented his country on two occasions.

It had initially been thought that the 26-year-old had been summoned to replace Rodrigo Brana, but the veteran defensive midfielder has recovered from a bruised right thigh and is available to face the Selecao.

Argentina's clash with arch-rivals Brazil is scheduled to get under way at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey at 21:00CET on June 9.

 

[Oncy]

NO! Maxi must stay!!

 

[peterhague]

I can see what Ross means about people bumping old threads. I spend half my time on here reading 'news' that turns out on closer inspection to be weeks, months, or even fucking years old. I wish people (*cough*Binny*cough*) would just start a new thread if there's something remotely newsworthy - which this isn't, by the way.

Rant over.

 

[King Binny]

Sincerest apologies. 😳

The thing that really struck me when I watched the clip was how well Maxi combines with Suarez. We should have made more use of that and we'll miss it if he goes.

 

[kingjulian]

We have just lost 20
goals a season with Maxi and Kuyt leaving. WHERE ARE THE GOALS GONNA COME FROM? sure hope we are not counting on Downing to deliver them....

[rurikbird]

Has there been any official announcement I have missed?

 

[kingjulian]

Really good player and we criminally under used him...

He is a terrific footballer, probably best suited in our squad for high-tempo one touch passing game.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

hope he stays under brenden, think he will to be honest, he fits in with the style, although i would prefer it if he was a squad player and we buy some better wingers

 

[King Binny]

Apparently signing for his old club Newell's Old Boys.

Any mention of a fee?

Any mention of a fee?

Latest news according to Argentinian journalist is that Maxi has commented that he has not spoken to anyone, still has a yr left on his Liverpool contract and he does not know where all this talk (about him leaving to join Newell's Old Boys) has come from

#Newells Maxi Rodríguez a @RamaPorchietti: "No sé de dónde salen esas cosas, todavía tengo contrato con Liverpool y no hablé con nadie".

Que lo de Maxi Rodríguez a #Newells esté encaminado o en proceso no significa que esté cerrado. Cautela con la información.

Joseph Paul Sacchi @ JPSacchi

That Maxi Rodriguez # Newells are on track or in the process does not mean it is closed. Caution with information.

I reckon Maxi could defo do a job more centrally. He was never known for getting chalk on his boots anyway.
