Never booted anyone's baws on the big stage when it matters. Separate Neymar's plums good and proper and he'll have earned that new deal.

In years gone by, Griffiths would have been our number one pick with purchases like Edouard deemed unnecessary.

I like Griffiths, he's quality and it's testimony to the standard of striker at the club now that he can't get a game

Every interview he gives that mentions the competition he faces for a starting place betrays why he isn't, and won't be, the number one striker at the club while Rodgers is here. Its not just talent and attributes, although that would leave him third in pecking order, it is his attitude and his readiness to share that attitude with those outside the changing room.
Dont think theres that much wrong with what he said to be honest. He is desperate to be first choice and he is always honest about it.

if he was sitting there saying " I dont care if I am first pick, as long as the team is doing well", people might applaud his political skills, but we would be calling him a bullshampooter as we know that is just not our Leigh. :lol:
He is very selfish and quick to remind his manager, teammates and fans of that fact. I'll give him his dues, this selfishness is what has gotten him to the place he is at but the way Brendan plays, and the focus on squad unity, means a player who is only happy when he is playing and only happy when playing when he is scoring is a bit of a misfit in both the team and squad.

I don’t think any manager would want players who are happy not playing. I’d also say that folk who would be happy not playing might not have the right attitude to make it as a professional player.

There’s a difference between being unhappy and being disruptive.

Not sure why we need to give him an extension. He's about to turn 28 and he's contracted for the next 3 seasons. I think Rodgers is prone to handing out deals and fees through sentimentality, and there's an air of that about this.
They turned down an offer for him from MLS club willing to pay him more cash in January.

I don't think Edouard is a better striker than Griffiths right now. He will be through time and further development as he has so much ability.....but right now, if I wanted goals in my team, I would play Lee ahead of him. Edouard came on leaps and bounds last season, but he's not the finished article yet. There are enough games in a season however for all three to get game iMessage.
I think Edouard is better at the things Rodgers values more, particularly the physical aspects.
I think at the moment griffiths is a better goalscorer than edouard,and that's should be valued highly by rodgers too.

More good news. So that’s KT and Griff away and no CL qualification. Brown will be off to the Huns next

You'll never be happy until he's gone will you?

When he's gone I'll still give my honest opinions on him. Whats the big deal?

Do you think I'm wrong? Is Leigh somehow 1st choice? Are all our strikers really only picked horses for courses? There isn't an obvious pecking order? Do the other strikers come out and give interviews moaning about having competition or not starting?

Yes, you are wrong. You’re talking a power of shampoo.

Please point out where he is moaning? He’s merely saying he’s up for the challenge of becoming our no1 striker. For me however unrealistic that is, it’s a great attitude to have. Give me that anyday over someone who is content to sit on the sidelines and collect their wage packet week after week.

The guy constantly goes on about not starting, whether he is led by the press or not, and starts off that article "jokingly" moaning about Edourd's signing.
