Liverpool 2008-2009

corporate whore

oh, thought you were dead
I'll start, shall I?

What's new since the old thread died? Erm...

Alonso's being sniffed around by Juve, with consent. Barry may come, the Villa seem little miffed, unsurprisingly..

Rafa's trying to talk Mascherano out of the Olympics.

Babel's done his ligaments and is out of the euros but back for the new season. The Dutch want him for the Olympics. Whatever happened to amateurism?

Deggen has signed, giving us three right backs and possibly spelling the end for Finnan.

Kewell's gone, though how anyone can tell is a mystery. :D

Something happened in Moscow, apparently, but I'm fucked if I know what.

I predict another season of unfulfilled hopes and expectations and another thread filled with more non-Reds than Reds.

You're more than welcome..
 
Okay liverpool fans isn't rafa being a bit greedy?

Alonso, sisoko, lucas and now possibly barry. Why the fuck do you need that many defesnive(ish) midfielders.

Surely you need a centre back or two and some wingers.

It makes no sense!

Errr Dave....Momo plays for Juve :D and has done since....oohhh.....Feb this year. Alonso's likely to leave too...i'd like him at Barca TBH could do a decent job for us until Toure learns how to play!
 
kained has a point. We're blessed in the centre, although a replacement for Alonso will be needed. We're alright at centreback, though.

Could do with a leftback (please!) and some pacy width, neither of which we a) have or b) seem to be looking at.
 
fuck forget he left still the point stands! You do seem to be collect defensive midfielders at the moment.

g fpoece you aint expecting toure to go to arsneal then?


dave
 
He may well join his brother, who knows wouldn't be that gutted TBH now we've got Keita. Anyhow...derail....:oops:

Left back = Andrea Dossena is having a medical today apparently prior to a £7m move from Udinese.

Midfield - Alonso is gone and Barry will come in.....probably. That leaves a central midfield pool of Mascherano, Gerrard, Lucas and Barry. Not excesssive when you consider Utd have Scholes, Anderson. Hargreaves and Carrick - and will probably bring in Ramsey.

Options for pacey width appear to be Bentley, Kranjcar and Riera.

With Crouch and Voronin likely to go we can expect 1 or 2 strikers to come in. Apparently Kenywne Jones' injury the other night was a blow to Rafa's plans. This makes me shudder but then again he was right about Crouch when he signed him.
 
I think this season should be when we throw the young uns in.

Centre mid -Plessis was quality for the reserves and did alright against Arsenal last season.

Left back - Insua - let's see what he can do, let's face it, we've had Riise (who's been average at best) for the last few seasons.........

Attack - perhaps give the Hungarian a go (I'm a distant relation to Jack Charlton btw) and a couple of the other strikers look pretty good also.

Come on Rafa - show your Wenger side and throw the kids in.
 
Good stuff, Biffo - forgot about that left back. Hopefully that's the last we'll see of JAR (a plea I made on the first page of last season's thread!)

The Jones stuff is news to me. He's one of Sunderland's 2 'untouchables,' right? Would cost a bomb..

Barry bid up to £14m now, The Guardian sez..
 
I like his trackie top :D

As for the left back I'd love to see Insua given a chance. Watched a fair bit of the reserve matches on LFC TV last season and he looked alright. Always looking to get forward. Don't remember him scoring many but neither has JAR recently.

I'd like to see Nemith (sp?) given a few chances, perhaps from the bench. Don't know how he'd adapt to the physical side of the game as he's on the small side.

I'd like to see Bentley come in, mainly cos he's English. If Platini (is it Platini who wants to limit the number of foreign players?) gets his way then we'd be a bit stuffed as the team currently stands. I know Pennant is English but he's been disappointing imo.
 
For me it's the same as it has been for the past 3-4 years. Sort the fucking wings out.

The spine is solid, except for maybe needing another International class striker if Crouch is to leave. Would much prefer to see us playing attacking 4-4-2 but can't see it happening. If Torres get's injured we could very well be fucked this coming season. Although would like to see that kid from the reserves whose name I completly forget at the moment come through the ranks, Gerrard seems to think he is pretty good!

Oh, and Veronin, please kindly fuck off.

Edit: nemith that's it, nice one above poster!!
 
Looks like Milner is being sought for the wing. Don't rate him any better than Pennant to be honest. I think another striker is inevitable. Villa and Torres look mighty fine together but can't see £25-30m being coughed up by the Yanks - epecially if any more than £15m is spent on Barry.
 
Would be great, but never going to happen, we simply cannot afford, unless we sell alot to just buy one player.

Don't mind Milner, think he could become a really good player, and being around other quality players is perhaps what he needs.

Pennant isn't that bad imo, he just isn't going to score goals, which is really the only reason someone like Kuyt gets picked ahead of him to play on that side. At least Milner can score too, can't see him coming personally, but on the + side at least we're looking at English players, but not sure what Barry is going to offer us that Alonso doesn't already personally.

Both Milner and Villa are keen if you believe the papers but the £7m for Milner is a lot more affordable than Villa would be. Can see him going to Madrid or Barca.
 
So farewell then, John Arne Riise.

Headless runner. Optimistic shooter. Bad tackler. Payslip loser. Subject of really crap song and golf club assault. EUROPEAN CUP WINNER.

We're not going to win the league, this year is not the year for us. We aren't improving and we don't have the quality to compete with the other big 3.

*I say the opposite each year and we never win so hopefully this will work*:p
