Hodgson Chasing Another Second-Rate Striker

Liverpool fans will be desperate to see their manager splashing the cash come January. The squad at Anfield is in dire need of a facelift and the club’s owners have already given the green light. Though, this relies on the strict proviso that huge sums of money are not just spent for the sake of it.

That might be a tough task for Woy. Unfortunately for Liverpool fans, cash seems to encourage the Kop manager to look at players who although would be a fine acquisition for Fulham, are quite simply not good enough to play at Anfield.

His latest target? Valter Birsa. Again, signing a striker should be high on Hodgson’s list of priorities, but the Auxerre man is just not good enough a player for Liverpool to be looking at.

There is some confusion in the media as to the 23 year-old’s credentials. TalkSport claims the Slovenian scored 4 goals in 64 appearances for Auxerre last season, while the Sun puts the figure at 9 goals in 57.

This season has seen Birsa strike 4 times in 18 appearances. In any case, these stats are hardly evident of a prolific goal-scorer.

He’s not good enough, Roy. Fact.
