Re: Liverpool Thread

Yeah, I hope we don't get Kuyt. I was not impressed with him.
Not sure Trezeguet is the right striker either.
However Zlatan would be good. He's only 24 and has lots of skill.

Do you guys feel Rafa has once again filled all the positions except
for the main striker. Fowler can't be expected to lead the line...
Bellamy is a good wide playing striker, but as a main target man we only have Crouch, we definitely need someone better.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Kuyt is a good player we didn't see his real worth in the world cup, the problem for me is we've already got Crouch and their both similar players, we don't need two target men. The right wing is a priority in every sense of the word; I’m hoping the Alves deal can be wrapped up before the Crewe game although it looks unlikely, is he really worth £10M? Might it be better to get a cheaper option like Pennant for example? Whatever happens I’m looking forward to what could be an immense season, in Rafa we trust.

Gonzalez also made his Pool Debut
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

and may I add, he was shite (Gonzalez). The first thing he did was stepovers, and he fell and tripped on the ball. :lol:
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

I’ve got a feeling that Gonzalez is going to be like Garcia moments of sheer class but frustrates at the same time. I’ve been well impressed with Paletta so far looks like a shrewd signing from Rafa.

...Quality pictures there Mr. Wright, you don’t work for Getty do you?

I have my sources but am not allowed to talk about them ;)

I wonder who else Rafa is lining up before the start of the season, so many rumours as per usual

looks like the pennant deal is nearly done (well reports that a fee has been agreed at 6.3m)

I'm not sure about him myself. He's shown great potential this past season, but he has a temper and a controversial past, ala Bellamy.

£6.3m!! Cheers, we get a quarter of that!

Pennant is more bother than he is worth. He is more interested in going out clubbing than playing footy. He was just a trouble maker at Arsenal and was big-headed. Rafa may get the best out of him but £6.3m! Thats a lot of dough.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Not fussed on the new green/white European 15th kit(!) but like the yellow and red ones. Hope they've got embroidered badges, not the cheap transfers Reebok thought were value for money last season.:(......I just thank the heavens they haven't got that ridiculous collar they had around 1997...

A bit steep for my liking but he’s quick, can dribble and has a mean cross on him.

...Two bad boys down, one to go

yes, I think hes 5m max. It shows a bit of desperation from us to double the initial offer. The Alves deal was stalling and at 10m, he was a bit too pricey for us, considering we still might add a striker. We tried to go for the proven quality, but the clubs knew we needed a right winger badly, and so they hike the price up.

Strikers the size of yours need support to be effective. Maybe you need to sign a BRAzilian?

I dont know whats more funny, your joke or the effort...;)
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Official: Pennant for 6.7 M, could go up to 8 M on Appearance etc.

He's an English player so I guess over-pricing isn't very surprising ... Alves's deal should be off now.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

i'm not too happy about the pennant deal, he's talented but i just don't think he's got the right attitude to play for a side thats aiming for the top prizes

i just think we're getting ass raped because teams know we need someone who can play on the right, benfica tried it on last season with simao, del nido has fucked us about over alves and now we've done a deal that costs at least £6.7m for pennant, we sold heskey to them for fuck all (more or less his value ;) ) with most of the fee reliant on his performance which we realistically never had a chance of getting, why the fuck didn't we do the same sort of deal for pennant? instead we bend over and let them name the price for a player who has had problems in the past, if he performs to the best of his ability then fair enough but if he can't hack it or goes off the rails again then we've spunked over £6m up the wall

like airjoca said, english players are so overated, pennant's worth 2 or 3 million tops with any more made in performance related payments but because he's english he gets a top dollar price tag slapped on him

don't get me wrong, i hope the lad does well and i'll get behind him at the match but i just think the whole deal is wrong
