Obita to Liverpool

by SpaghettiHoop » 20 Mar 2014 22:53

"LIVERPOOL manager Brendan Rodgers is being linked with a big-money summer move for Reading FC starlet Jordan Obita.
The 20-year-old is in eye-catching form during his breakthrough season with the first-team.
Former Royals boss Rodgers is well aware of Obita’s potential having watched him develop with Reading’s Academy.
Obita has been outstanding at left-back for the Royals, but his favoured position is in attack behind the striker."

It's in the Chronicle so it must be true.

Don't normally read it, but there's been a lot of publicity recently so I thought I'd give it a go.

The mirror article said they wanted him as a left back, because of the players covering left back for them and wanting a specialist. Considering he's only covering there for us :|

Didn't Rodgers leave our academy about 10 years ago now? How much contact can he have had with anyone coming through now?

Covering with view to perm. Bridge won't be with us next season, I'm almost certain of that.

It's worrying isn't it? To think that Todgers likes them that young. They should lock him up and throw away the key!

It's got to be lazy journalism, it's not the first time they've linked an academy product with Liverpool simply because of Brendan Rodger's past affiliation with the club, still waiting on that big move to Liverpool for Pearce.

He hasn't really been with us this season! I've forgotten what he looks like.

TBF, we've missed him since he's been out.

When he was our manager Obita wasn't playing left back, so how his various links to us historically have any bearing on him possibly thinking Obita would do a job in that position at Anfield is hard to see.

Emphasis seemed to be on our academy rather than his management here to me. Rodgers was only here six months as manager, I still think it's a lazy link.

youd think liverpool would be after some proven players next year, but it wouldnt surprise me if rodgers fancies him, and puts in a bid
and if that happens, he's gone

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this rumour is true and he goes. That's all.

Isn't this just like the 'Alex Pearce to Liverpool' rumour of last year?
