Liverpool 2008-2009

Bye bye Mr Riise, for no longer will LFC have a player who actually dies his hair moreGinger before a game....
 
The Times links us with a bid for Stewart Downing, holder of compromising negatives on successive England managers.

The Independent links us - again - with a bid for David Bentley, holder of awful facial hair.


My excitement is uncontainable
 
Rafa has said he doesn't want Bentley but it seems likely that Milner or Downing may be signed. I'd prefer Bentley but he could be £15m which LFC don't have. Rafa definitley seems keen on English midfielders at present. They are all decent players who you would hope could step it up a notch in a better team. Who knows? There's a lot to be said for players who already know the league as opposed to overseas players having to settle - but the English players seem to cost an additional £5m.

Interesting idea from Platini where clubs in debt will be banned from the Champions League.... Won't be a very big competition then will it?
 
Anyone else watch Torres' goal tonight and think of this?

Can a LFC fan explain to me why the club is so interested in Gareth Barry when it has Alonso who they're so willing to let go? Is it purely because Barry could fill in in defence if needed?
 
This is the greatest topic ever on this forum. Well played sir.

Liverpool FC, it feels me with pride just to type it.

Alonso faded quite badly last year for whatever reason. Could be Rafa being ruthless. Could be Rafa seeing Gerrard and Barry as an ideal pairing. If he is going for Keane you would assume that he is going to bring Gerrard back to midfield. Lucas and Masch are there for reinforcements.

I suppose the fact that Barry can play on the left side in defence and attack is an added bonus. Fuck £18m though. £15m tops.

P'raps. There is a rumour Alonso burned his bridges when he refused to travel (to Inter?) last season.

I'd be sad to see him go, even though he was off the boil for the most part last year.
 
Harry Kewell, treatment room loyalty card holder (every 5th operation free), has signed for Galatasaray. The stripes will be slimming, but I predict a Baklava-related weight gain hernia before pre-season's out.

Degen's signed, having played no part in Switzerland's Euro campaign - who knows what heights they may have reached had he been involved?

He has Christiano Ronaldo's hair, it seems.

Crouch opinions scousers? Obviously we've seen him before, back when he look about 7 years old :D

Regular football would be a good thing for him? Sad to see him go? Or not.

I think he'll do well linking up with defoe. He's a good footballer, holds the ball up well, difficult to defend against, gets his share of goals. He proved a lot of people wrong at anfield. Give him a good run of games and a bit of confidence and he's a good striker.

That said, the team will tend to lump it up to him, he doesn't score from headers because he has no power, and can't really hack it at the very top.
 
I'll miss him, the lanky freak ;)

With thanks for knocking United out of the FA Cup, that hat-trick against the Arse and quite visibly telling the whole of the Matthew Harding stand to fuck off when he got sent off at Chelsea.

Definitely in need of another striker now though, 'cos none of the others can do the business should there be an extended Torres absence. Rafa pretty much said yesterday that David Villa is a non-starter.

Like the look of Dossena.
 
Yeah sad to see Crouchy go too, but you can't blame him. Not the right kind of partner for torres and it sort of sounds to me with the way we are working the transfer market at the moment that we are going for wide players (at fucking last) and he might want to start playing a good attacking 4-4-2 formation.

We don't have the money to compete for the best, so we'll have to hope Rafa becomes as shewed as Wenger can be.

I say give the boy Nemeth a chance, fuck Veronin off, and get someone else in for around the same as we got for Crouchy.
 
Anyone see the match v Tranmere on Saturday?

Agger's first game in a while. Yossi scored a cracker. Insua looks ready for the first team. Pacheco looked lively also. Like the way we changed systems with ease.
