Some people don't know talent when they see it, and I think it's astonishing the amount of people who didn't see it, baffled me some of the comments because every time he's played he's been fantastic, he gets the ball and you just expect something to come out of it. I've always thought he could play for one of top clubs, I'm not even exaggerating, that's why I was just shocked at some of the comments made of him! Unfortunately some see it. Most don't. Sometime's those people will get slagged as not "knowing" anything about football either by defending players like Assaidi, Muniesa and Arnie after a bad or underwhelming performance when it's easy to jump on the "throw them under the bus" bandwagon. Typical oatcake. When they turn it around and become good, those detractors disappear funnily enough... It just makes me happy and most likely the few others that have always rated them and stuck in and stood by and defended them on here especially to just "give them time." Vindication! Ive always given players a chance when they've had a bad patch, and even backed the players who were not really good enough, Kitson, Pericard, Cresswell, Sidibe, even though I knew they were limited in their capabilities. Walters is also another one whom I think is severely under rated by a few, he is a quality player at what he does, he does the dirty work and I can see how he benefits us on the pitch, yes he hasn't really taken chances of late in front of goal but I think some people just judge him on that alone, he benefits the players around him and I'm proud to see him put 100% in every week and hope he stays with us for a long time, fantastic player to have around the club. Thing is though, Assaidi hasn't even had a bad patch for anyone to even debate or talk about, been quality since he came, and I just look at this board and want bash my head against a brick wall.

I think we will struggle to get Assaidi from Liverpool. They have quite a small squad and have been v lucky with injuries in their title challenge. Next season they will need a bigger squad with at least 6 extra games and he will have opportunities to play.I hope I'm wrong as he would be great for us, if they were prepared to sell I think we are looking at big money ie at least 6-7m . They could buy a decent defender with that which is what they really need.

No quotes or anything in that article, but lovely if true. Assaidi, diouf, bardsley would be an all right start of the window. We're in may, and we are signing pace and fullbacks all over the place. Tony must be shaking his mighty head..

You'd have tot hink we've already agreed terms with him and all that malarky on that side. All we need to do is agree a fee with Liverpool and he is ours. Arnie is going to be very happy now

Has no pace whatsoever, can't beat a man on the outside, can't cross the ball and shows little invention with his passing. We can do much better than Assaidi. what ???!!!! Has no pace ??!! Can't beat a man ???!!!

Not a massive Assaidi fan. I think he is a bit one dimensional. I see him as a squad player so I hope his fee and wages reflect that fact. I would have preferred that we spend the money on someone who would improve the first team directly rather than improving the squad. however, i trust hughes' judgment and if he thinks this signing is in the best interests of SCFC then i am ok with it.

I hope we don't pay more than three mill. He has had some good games , but he is still a long way from the finished article.

I don't care how much we pay for him, it's not my money. If the board deems it acceptable then it must be.
