Shelvey.... one of good buy by Rafa.
For me he is like rough diamond that has much potential waiting to be polished. If you watched the documentary "being liverpool" BR had high hope for him. But his game need to be controlled and disciplined which I think i BR is able to guide him. But he wanted 1st team football which the coach think he is not yet ready. Remember the game where he was involved of the score at both end of the pitch. That is ho influenced he can be... with proper guidance he can be a class player
Shelvey was mismanaged by rodgers. Everyone knows he has potential, shelvey is a temperamental player.
If gerrard houllier had not managed Steven gerrard well, our legend Stevie may have been shipped out too in his early days.
Temperamental players aren't easy to handle. Deep inside I feel Rodgers would rather handle 'easy' players. Players whom don't give him too much trouble (like Allen type??

) nice guys players are his favourite, our captain in wait Henderson comes to mind. Before anyone says but Suarez was under Rodgers..., [cough] I would be on the side who thinks/felt Suarez "engineered" his exit so that he got his wish to Barcelona.
Balo, is probably at his best behavior at Liverpool, but he is likely to be dumped at the earliest possiblity. Steerling wont be sold (yet) but personally I don't think he will get much better development under a Rodgers tactical masterclass. If he stays on at Liverpool, he won't even reach the levels & exploits of Michael Owen. I will give credit to houllier for that, (Owens best days at Liverpool)
