Liverpool transfer committee had final say on signings NOT me, confirms Brendan Rodgers
"It was a group decision. It was certainly not something I would have the sole or final say on," he told Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday.
"The model of the club is slightly different. The owners have a way of working, where they want to bring in young players and see them develop.
"You look at the players who have come in and they are 24 and below, and the ones who were above that were free transfers.
"As manager, you will always be the figurehead of the club but there is a recruitment team in place who will look to bring the players in."
"You want a player in and there's a list of players, but if the player you want isn't on that list, you have to take someone.
"You can't have no players. If you want a left-back, but the one you want isn't available, then there is a list of three or four.
"You then have to take the best in that group. It is the model.
Еве како функционирал системот со Америте. Како бонус е следново:
The Reds were looking for someone to replace Luis Suarez in the summer of 2014 after his £75million sale to Barcelona and, after missing out on Alexis Sanchez, made a last-minute move for Balotelli.
It was a gamble which never paid off and the Italian was loaned back to AC Milan at the start of this season but Rodgers, who throughout his time in charge at Anfield insisted he had the final say on ins and outs, claimed if he had had his way the striker would have never been signed at all.
“It wasn’t just a goalscorer we were after. Luis Suarez was giving so much more than that,” he told Sky Sports’ Goals on Sunday programme.
“After playing AC Milan in a friendly in America I was asked a question, and he wasn’t someone I felt was suited or fitted the profile of what we were after.
“He’s had issues, Mario, but he’s a wonderful talent and make no mistake.
“Come the end of summer, when we were struggling to get in the type of player we wanted for that role, the ownership thought this was a player I could maybe develop.
“They thought this is a £50million player that they can bring in for £16million, and I can maybe develop him how I developed a few of the other players.
“When the owners want you to go down that route and there are no other options, you give it a go.”
Еве како бил купен Балотели и воопшто не бил идеја на Роџерс.
тaкa гo дoживеaв. Пa кoјa нaдеж е тoa чoвече, кaкoв ризик сo Бaлoтели дa гo прoбувaш тoa
