Benitez has always had his eye on the latest example of foreign crap imo, he spent a lot of money i seem to remember on many young players when the squad was crying out for first 11 quality (much in the same way as arsene manages, but nowhere near as successful). Alonso was the lynchpin of their side unfortunately, it may be interesting to see how aquilani fits in but i cannot see how he will be as effective as Alonso at bridging the gap between defence and attack. Gerrard however is world class, in another team he would be even better. Not many players have been able to keep a single rather untalented team in contention for so long. He plays with passion, desire, hard work and undoubted talent. One of the only players that can really grab a game by the scruff of the neck and drag it towards a positive conclusion. Lampard ?? Please, he is not half of the player, he is beginning to look better now but only looks so effective for chelski because of the way they play him, 2 holding midfielders and a striker that was able to hold the ball up for him. It is a shame we stuck with him over gerrard for england, yes Lamps will score goals but he has nowhere near the influence Gerrard has. IMO, a Liverpool without Gerrard, would be only a mid-table team, Torres or not. Also, i believe Benitez is on his last legs, if he cannot get it right now, he has no chance, and i think losing Xabi was one nail in the coffin.

This.....

God damn, smashed the league with 1 loss all season, smashed the goal charts too, then when i came to the play offs. Well, lets just say i wish i hadn't bothered

Number 1. Buy a PS3. Number 2. Bin the xbox Simples

I think you will find it to be ruggedly styled, however i did use to use sebastien Xtah crude clay

You nasty..... f*cking.......b*stard

They need to gel and lose what is a losing mentality at the moment, i think the experience will begin to kick in soon, IMO, we owe someone a damn good kicking, which will hopefully kick start a winning run. For me though i still feel we lack a bit of creation, one of the big reasons our strikers (who are probably better than this level) are not scoring shedloads.

Well, that is one of my 3 essential points sorted, number 1, a solid defensive partnership, i am sure him and trottman can sure up the back, i would hope anyways. We now need 2, pace, and 3, some much needed creativity.

Playing on PKR at the moment, lucky 5's all night !!!!!!!

Really ?? Thats pretty surprising, and the fact your still on your tablets. I know the patellar graft is supposed to hurt more though. At least it's on the mend

Played football for years with his brother

Has he signed yet ???

Playing off of lambert IMO, I agree mclaggon and mills have pace, but can they deliver a telling cross ?? TBF, i know mills looked good in the preseason

Think spiderman is too much of a luxury player TBH. He obviously has an aweful lot of talent and this has been spotted by the french U21's manager and some higher placed teams. I think he would do well in a team that is built around him, to interact with the way he plays the ball, a holding player to support him and a more attacking midfielder to play, a bit like the role that Xabi Alonso used to play for liverpool. We do have the squad to play this way IMO but i just think it's too much of a risk at league 1 level. Hammond is definately a good buy, i have not seen him play however from what i have heard he is a bit more of a defensive player, which means we need a player that has a bit more industry, and more attacking flair. As much as i agree with what you say Chrisobee, and myself am a positive person, i have been left disapointed with the lack of movement in the permanent transfer market, i know we are not all managers etc, but if everyone can see we lack 3 main points effectively. 1. Pace, 2. Solid partnership at the back, 3. Creativity, incisive passing and crossing. I hope we can move forward in the loan market however.

**** me thats a steal.... even for a fat pirate

That it ?? :smt118

Done deal says storrie on SSN

Indeed, this cheers me up, hopefully james has gone on the quiet too, that would be good

Well, i am glad i worked and was not f5ing all day. Even worse that the skates suddenly sprang into life

So have we got anyone ?? At all ?? No rumours ?? Nothing, rubbish

It is league 1 though, only the fans care in this league, rumours won't hold much tabloid space unfortunately.

lol TBH i don't know who to play there, especially if we don't get a replacement ?? Would rather have thomas there TBH, and leave james to his CM role. I wouldn't be completely happy with WT there but, can't see who else. Anyone in the youth team that is an up and coming talent ??

He will be a brilliant player, he has already become a more rounded player then when he was the raw talent in the red and white. Look what he did to the Croat's earlier in the WCQ's !! I believe Wenger and Fergie are the number 1 managers in the prem when it comes to nurturing young talent, and Wenger is probably slightly ahead tbh. If the boy can stay free from injury this year then i believe he will be a real force to be reckoned with. England in a few years could be terrifying if handled correctly, what with young, lennon and walcott all up and coming.

He was born in Rio, brazil HTH
