Why June 2015 is such an important time for Liverpool

3) Glen Johnson

Glen Johnson

Thirdly, Glen Johnson’s contract is also up in June 2015 and this one will be interesting. Johnson is one of the best right backs in Europe today and is a valuable player to the Liverpool side. We saw how much we missed him when he was injured a few weeks ago. And now that he is fit, the side looks much better.

Johnson is 29-years old now and by the time his contract is up he will be 30. FSG seem reluctant to keep older players on big contracts and thus Johnson may be forced to take a pay cut if he wants to remain at the club. This is something I am sure Johnson will not be happy with as he knows he would be able to still earn big for two to three more seasons if he goes abroad.

Verdict: FSG should offer Johnson a new deal and keep the England right back for at least two more seasons after 2015. He is still quality and we need him especially if we are back in the Champions League.

    If you honestly think Rodgers will turn us into champions again, you have to be excitedly unrealistic. He is our weakest link on the field. I hope FSG sees this early and gets us a tactician instead of this marketer.

      If you can’t see improvement since br came in you either had a delusional view of how good we were or your a complete Muppet.
      Most likely it is both.

      Well I have to say that I have no idea whether Mr Rodgers will turn us into champions again and I’m pretty much guessing that no one can. We you expecting instant gratification, such as is the way of the internet supporting generation, or you expected it within 2-3 years, like an arm-chair supporter, who didn’t have the same type of megaphone to throw their little tantrum that things aren’t perfect.
      Or, were you a supporter who actually sees and understands the years of, not so much neglect (apart from the cowboys obviously) but a decline from 1990. To turn this around in a season or two to be champions again for Brendan is pretty much the delusions of a football manager computer game.
      I for one (and a lot of others) are actually really happy at the moment. We are moving in the right direction, we are playing expansive, exciting football again and we are trying to push forwards as opposed to standing still, which is what we seemed to be doing for too many years.
      Will we win the Premiership, I hope so, I doubt it this season as I think we are too weak as a squad still and that takes a couple of seasons to rectify.
      Mistakes will be made, we will lose stupid matches (we always have done) and we will be in the chaos of a title chase that we are not experienced in.
      Maybe Rodgers isn’t the man to bring back my glory days that I remember since I started supporting them in 77, but he’s slowly and surely taking us in the right direction and we take it one step at a time. I hope he is the right man for it and if that day comes…who will you be supporting then?

    i br is dion wel

  4. If BR can get Liverpool into CL this season , it would be a great achievement. If he does that , I am sure FSG would reward him with a new contract.
