LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

classic stuff teee;p fuck dogbreath!

in other news:

The Mali international moved to Andalusia last summer, and has impressed during his debut season in Spain.

The 28-year-old has already garnered significant interest from Juventus, who are also chasing his Sevilla team-mate Diego Capel.

And according to The Sun,
Benitez is prepared to splash out ₤10 million – a third of his
projected transfer budget – on the defensive midfielder, thus
activating a release clause in his contract.

An inside source said: “Rafa has Keita very high up on his list for this summer and may well make a bid for him.”

Liverpool
have already been strongly linked with Aston Villa midfielder Gareth
Barry for the same amount, but Villa boss Martin O’Neill has claimed it
may take near double that to prise him away from the Birmingham club.

The
Reds’ sudden interest in central players has sparked speculation that
Xabi Alonso – also linked with Juve – could leave in the summer, but it
could also mean that Benitez simply seeks reinforcements for the two
holding spots in his 4-2-3-1 formation.

how good is keita? isnt he just another sissoko? not that i hated momo, but why sell momo if we're gonna buy another similar player :s

and i REALLY hope xabi doesnt leave!!! all these rumors are making me boil

coz benitez is a crazy man. We have Mascherano, Alonso, Lucas, Plessis and even Gerrard can play there. Both mascherano and Lucas will go olympics, and i don't know when that finishes?? they might miss first part of the season hence this speculation.

It might yet be a smoke screen, with Benitez true target, Barry, could be tempted to slap in a transfer request. It will be 10 mill + Crouch, or 15 million. The good thing about Barry is he can be used as a left or centre back, Or on the left side of a 3 man midfield, in addition to the holding midfield role.

Speculation has it that Alonso might be sold... i dont think he'l wana go, but everyone has a price, right?

i dont believe the alonso shit .. unless his form dropped to irreversible levels, i dont see why rafa would want to sell him.

plessis only played one game... its too early to judge him

and lucas is pushed around like a little girl against the top 3 ... otherwise he's fine against the rest of the league teams.

Alonso = more funds for lacking areas...

Whats wrong with having a Gerrard and Mascherano duo? Personally I think Stevie G is more influencial in the middle of the park, instead of being behind Torres.

i agree. he was scoring goals from centre mid season after season. Playing him as second striker works from time to time, but not against the bigger teams as we've seen against chelsea and Man u.

Alonso isnt how he was at the beginning of his liverpool career, the team's not built around him as a "quarter back" any more. If Rafa gets a good price, i have no doubt he'll go. Especially if Barca come in for him

Plessis looks assured and i like his composure on the ball, needs more experience, clearly. But i expect him to be used from the middle of next season

im gonna keep my fingers crossed... i dont want alonso to leave. he hasnt really .. dont forget that he was injured this season, and that really affected his performance.

hopefully he wont even play for spain, so he should have more than enough time to recuperate.

i feel bad for pennant though, he seemed to be destined for greatness unless that injury really messed up his groove. now he's struggling to get back to where he was.

something that at the back of my head is telling me agger could suffer from the same situation..

but we'll see

pennant was amazing against birmingham- the game before the chelsea defeat- he'll do as a squad player and i dnt think he'll go yet.

Crouch wil leave, as for Alonso,if barca or real come for him he will say adios but not til we get at least 10 mill for him

fuck no... alonso will never leave

sell crouch

sell riise

sell pennant

but NOT alonso

we're not that desperate for money

and remember.. its gonna be a long season, and we need as many midfielders as possible

and the good thing with barry is that he can play LB and LM .. so alonso can take care of the right side.

barry rumors are getting stronger and stronger... i think its safe to say he's a liverpool player now

at what price tho

no idea.. its still too soon to guess the price.. but i have a feeling he has one leg in the club.. and the rest is just paper work.

i wonder what happened to the other transfer targets

i hope rafa gets them before the start of the euros

im gettin anxious over these 'new' signings.. its been dead and i wonder if rafa will actually be given the cash to buy players.

so anxious, im beginning to think his job is not secure. Yes it defies logic, but thats exactly what's been happening at liverpool since these people took over.

no man... your just being paranoid..

no matter what happens.. rafa is not gonna leave the club

everything is quiet because they cant/shouldnt be doing everything in public.. untill it is final and the player actually signs (like the buttsinger for chelsea)

David Villa's available apparently, could he move to Livo with Torres?

too expensive

What's the price tag?

nothin official yet, but at 1 point Valencia wouldnt let him go for under 20 mill

if rafa sticks to 1 striker... where would villa fit?

i dont think we'll get him]

and another thing.... villa doesnt play alongside torres in the NT, they havent got a good partnership

all shal be clear in the euros

They played together in the last WC, and both seemed to play well together (although I think I remember that a few of Torres' goals came after Villa was substituted.

As far as Euro is concerned, If I were Spain's coach, I'd start with Torres and Raul

why raul ?

and who the hell is this REIRA guy we're linked with?

teee.. any clue?
http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=697148

some winger whos already had a spell with man city and failed. Not world class, but least he's a winger.

most Goal.com stuff is rubbish, i read it for entertainment mainly

so far we been linked with about 7 players, plus half of the barca team..

no signings yet.

except sammy lee..

fuck him if he's an average winger... id much rather rafa let babel develop more and have more games.
