Selling Daniel Agger is a bad move

With confirmed departure of defender Daniel Agger to his boyhood club Brondby, Liverpool are left with Dejan Lovren, Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Kolo Toure and Sebastian Coates. It seems likely that Coates would be sent on loan. That leaves us with four centrebacks. It  is obvious that Lovren will lead the defence. Although I was very impressed with his performance last season for Southamton, but bringing him to fill Agger's shoes is not a smart move by Brandon Rodgers. Had he been brought as Kolo's replacement, I would have kept my mouth shut. Agger has lot more to offer than Toure, though latter is more experienced but he keeps making stupid mistakes. We all know what happened last season. Some of his defensive blunders was the reason behind LFC's defeat. These things happen but not on a regular basis. Agger was a reliable centreback. He keeps calm and plays possession based football. He has a rocket of a shot. He is one of the most talented ball playing football

WHY MARIO BALOTELLI?

Italian striker Mario Balotelli, though controversial is a massively talented player. He has scored some amazing goals in Premier League and Serie A. He is person who hogs the limelight wherever he goes. For obvious reasons, his acquisition seemed like a big gamble by Brandon Rodgers. Balotelli's reputation for bad behaviour and indiscipline is widespread. He is someone who some managers deem unmanageable. His past record speaks for himself.  However, for Liverpool's manager who has successfully managed Luis Suarez, the troublesome striker, managing Mario Balotelli shouldn't be a difficult prospect.

He will be under the supervision of a manager who tamed the wildest beast and brought best out them.  As for Balotelli, I believe he will achieve success in Anfield. He is quick, strong and clinical.

WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR SOMETHING GOOD.

 I am writing this post just for the sake of writing. I haven't written anything for a while now and I don't know why. Maybe i am suffering from writer's block. It is funny though as i don't consider myself a writer yet. I think I haven't written anything worthy enough which will put me in that category. There is always voice inside, whispering, 'you're not good enough' and it troubles me to a lot. I believe, satisfaction is what eludes me. Having said that, I find it extremely difficult to write something new and it bothers me immensely. Why is it so difficult to write something original and refreshing. I was told that a good reader is a good writer. However, in my experience, I have come across people who devour books but still write poorly. It gets really confusing at times. You feel like you are stuck. Anyways, who am i to judge. After-all, I am just a passerby who is looking for answers, wondering what will take to make mark in this field. Th
