I don't get this tbh, yes it would be a bonus that he supports us. But if he is a a top class defender then he could support the ****'s for all I care.

He's more likely to want to come here if he's a local lad who actually supports LFC is all. Can't do any harm anyway.
I wouldn't want any neo-fascists here tbh, don't care how good they are.
Not even Aquilani?
Apparently he have a statue of Benito Mussolini in his home.
I remember seeing links to the Mussolini statue he had in his home back when he first signed. Obviously it doesn't mean he's a facist or anything, but it's certainly interesting.

He is actually a good player too. But being local he wont hold the club to ransom for wages. A local lad will always give that extra 10% on the pitch. Look at Carra, Gerrard, Spearing and Flanno. Especially in Spearings case, he may not be the most talented player but he would die for the club and will defy his ability on a constant basis. Of course there is no guarantee that Dann would be the same but it doesnt hurt that he holds the club in such high regard.
Better than signing a manc who's only after the wages
Liverpool players play without wages and after champions league final victory in 2005, Gerrard didn't hold club to ransom for better contract and tried to engineer a move to Chelsea...

Fair point. But he did deserve a better contract although it wasnt right to hold the club to ransom.
My main point was though that the local guys always put more of an effort in games.
You would agree that Scholes, Neville anbd Giggs carried you through some games?
Dont want anybody starting an argument over that post. Keep it plesant guys
I think it is not where they are from tbh, just what they are like, someone like Park puts in more effort then anyone in the Utd side and he is from Korea.
Giggs, Scholes and a young neville only carried us through games, due to there ability tbh,
No mate, I didn't quote you as you made fair point. Local lads gives more than foreign lads and loyal than outsiders..

Feeling around that if Charlie Adam's not already joined, he's going to as soon as he gets back from his hols.
However Carragher isn't the greatest player in the world, but he's single handedly kept us clean sheets at times. Spearing isn't a very talented player however his passion shows, he loves getting stuck in, and things are coming together for him now. The majority of local lads give more than the majority of foreigners.
For some reason, I'd rather have Scott Dann than Gary Cahill.

Jordan Henderson - 'Steven Gerrard is the best player i've played against' - September 2010
I did say the majority. How about Gary Neville, was never a brilliant footballer but he was so passionate he was the captain. It's just my personal belief that local lads who support the club, are more passionate than foreigners. Kuyt is one of those that have fell in love with the club, just as Luis Garcia, Xabi Alonso, Hyypia and going even further back Jan Molby did.
But lets look at it another way, Someone like Wes Brown, Is a local lad, clearly loves the club, but he doesnt play like someone like Neville.
You really think Kuyt wouldnt be the same, Never say die attidude, somewhere else, I very much think he would be.
To Me, A local lad is great, but the player himself will decide how much he puts in.
