Liverpool F.C. Official Thread

what do u think of david villa... seriously, i lost with this player.

can he do what torres did in the EPL?

or is he a different kind of player

Villa is different to Torres. Torres can make things happen out of nothing, Villa is a striker who needs supply- but once he's through he's more likely to score. For me its his runs that make him dangerous, his movement is world class. I prefer the Luca Toni type of striker because of the physical presence.

well... manU dont have a "big hitman" and manage to get their way.. so i dont see why having another short striker could harm.

i really hope crouchy doesnt leave... we'll need his heigh advantage against some teams...

but.. if it happens, it happens

villa wont like rafa's rotation. im not sure if he'll change the system, but 4-2-3-1 leavs us with torres leading the line. Villa will have to play on the wing.. hmm

i think rafa wants full backs and a winger

i really dont like to see gerrard as a support striker... im not used to him being in that position... weird

but since barry is coming over... im pretty damn sure gerrard is sticking up front to partner torres

babel MUST develop on the left wing

we might get a right winger...

i hate seing Gerrard play the 2nd striker role. I don't think i'l ever be used to it.

He might play 4-3-3


Babel---torres----Kuyt

Barry---Gerrard---Mascherano

??----Agger---skrtl----Carra

Reina

carra wont play on RB .. he doesnt like it.. he's not good at it.. and we need someone to go forward.

carra and samy are gonna be subs next season.. unless one of the two CBs is injured.

agger and skrtel need to play together.. they need to form a bond between themselves and the keeper.

i dont know who we're getting for RB or LB .. but i DO KNOW we're gonna get somebody... i'll be really shocked if rafa doesnt buy a couple of good defenders.

i like your formation teee ...

but maschy..... on the right? that'll never happen

if rafa was ever to play 433 (which i doubt) ..

the midfield would look more like this:

barry - mascherano - gerrard

(remember he played a LOT on the right.. and even though he didnt like it, he was pretty good)

yea you're right. That would be very good formation. gerrard would push up anyway leaving barry and mascherano protecting the back four. Come on Rafa- we can be as attacking as barcelona lol

i think its safe to say barca arent the same "attacking" barca anymore ;p

dinho and etoo are OUT ;p so its gonna be henry-messi and some other players

maybe dos santos can finally get a fair chance...

what do you think of etoo? is he past his prime?

etoo = to chelsea.. to replace drogba

dinho = to ac brazil

i think chelsea will get Eto. Drogba will go and with him mourinho's style. Expect a few casualties from that team and fresh faces in. Has he passed his best? his form really dipped when he came back from African nations cup, but he's too young to discredit him now. A new challenge for him, as for 'Dinho will see them rediscover that spark, barring injuries.

so there you have it, Ronaldinho will go to milan or, yes, chelsea! fantacy? That fuckin Take-everythin-home'ovich can make anything happen. Inter might be in the running for Ronaldinho too as they've been reported to be looking for a 'big' signing to mark their anniversary.

as for Dos Santos, personally im not a big fan. I seen him shine once and look completely average for another 4 months but whatever it is, he needs minutes on the pitch. Im not convinced from what i've seen from him this season.

juve dont want riise ;p poor guy

and i dont know about alonso.. i reaaaaly dont want him to leave..


and in other news... babel tore a tendon

fuck the NT ..

if he doesnt make it in time.. i hope we get some compensation from them

and if he makes it, he'll go play in the Olypics team.. so thats Leiva, mascherano and babel

fantastic

hmmmmm

so far, no news from alonso .. i hope he stays

crouch WANTS to play more regular football.. but we wont and should not sell him for cheap

to be honest.. id rather he play in another league.

and villa is now available for 17m .... if we can get him for 15 mill i would be happy

but that would mean crouch/voronin would get dumped.

think he might actually be lookin to get villa playing where Kuyt does.

Alonso sale is not a priority for now, think Rafa is keen on pushing for Barry and Dossana, he'll be hoping for some good fortune, getting 15 mill for Alonso to get someone like Villa or abidal or quarisma or benzema or

barry / dossena are good transfers.... im not complaining

but i dont see why we dont sell kuyt to get villa.. instaed of selling xabi

That's what I'd do too, but as a ManU fan, I'd be happy if you kept Kuyt

And Crouch

And bring back Cisse

And Baros

etc,etc.

LoL

well.. you still have the advantage in ronaldo.. unless his performance really drops next season (fingers crossed).. i dont see you guys being challegend, not even by chelsea.

arsenal got nasri ( ana amazing talent... and a REALLY SCARY prospect under wenger's management ) ... he MAY BE the next best player in the world.. if all goes well in the arsenal camp.

we just got barry and dossena so far .. dunno about bently

and we havent been linked with villa.. which either means its a 100% sure tranfser thats being kept under cover

OR

we simply wont get him

coz if he sells alnoso he'll get 15 mill which he can then use to buy someone rated at A similar price. Kuyt won't get us more than 6 million.

I would never buy Bently, if i ever aspired to see him play for my team, then the team im supporting would probably newcastle utd

i am gutted

i cant believe we're having to sell xabi to get barry!

this blows! the yanks blow! everything isnt turning out right!

bently is another pennant.. i dont see rafa being that stupid and going after him.

SO FAR ... we've got

degan ( shit transfer )

barry ( good.. but we'll see how well he does in europe )

dossena ( only italian in the squad, gonna be interesting to see how well he adapts and gets along... i have my doubts )

so its not looking all nice and rosey.

its simple... he wont unfortunately
italians rarely adapt to the epl.

pessimistic/realistic... i dont know

im keeping my fingers crossed.

either we get another italian to keep him company

or just sell him next season for some profit

its not adapting to life in england for him that will be the biggest problem. it'll be the football, far too quick imo.

i dunno.. he'll have to work on his stamina.. otherwise he might be shifted to a CB position rather than LB

whats he like? quick? smart?

i dont want a materazzi-like player..

tee .. with us selling kewell.. dont you think david villa looks good in 7 ? ;p
