it was deliberate - ironic out of bra's

that sounds like wonderful news

OOBs?

"HERE'S JERZY!"

the key to all this is what sort of offers come in. I suspect there's a fair chance that no-one will offer much more than £6million. Even if we only get £3-4 million for El Moro, I'd prefer he goes rather than lose Cisse for that type of figure.

Jose Roman Gerrard

ah, good one, this is really tricky. Waterski-ing Challenge Womens Coffeemorning Wheelbarrow Cup Water Colour (painting) Winter Collection is one of those right? Still can't see how they'll affect value

i'm about to lose my cherry. ooh, i hope the perfomance matches the occasion

sounds a bit of a tall story

must have moved quickly - only the other day robbie was quoted as saying he hoped he would play at anfield again but had heard no news... so, this means Mori and Cisse out, no owen, no raul, but yes to Kuyt and Defoey, yes?!

is that the deal for sponsoring flumps and other associated candy products?

dont suppose there are any recent former lfc stars, relatively youthful, coaching types, we could see in this position are there. there's plenty who would want it or could be candidates jamie - harry says he wants to do coaching, but is he just too nice digger - celtic, talks too much about a teams "DNA", would take the kids to the golden arches for treats wright - he's had some smoke following his managerial career saunders - a souness boy sammy lee - he should have stayed ronny whelan? mcmahon, beglin - too bitter beardsley - too ugly stevie nicks - too USA, but sounds like he's doing well aldo - too close so it'll be a spaniard. or how bout Michael "Robin" Robinson?!

at least collymore wasnt a total failure was he

when i last posted on this topic there was still a fair band of support, although most thought it would not happen. personally, i now think the chances are about 10-20% at best

a good reminder as we approach another "critical" transfer window so no-one else feels embarrassed, i'll admit i wasnt disappointed when we signed the desperately poor paul stewart! he'd had a decent fa cup final, i hadn't seen him play much else, and i was only a wee lad with no judgment....but what a disappointment!

we were stronly linked with arteta last season before we signed momo and need another CM. price seems hi but there may be something in this. or stevie could play support striker...

i have to say that's a pretty impressive list of signings and makes it all the more of a shame that kenny had to suddenly pack in at a crucial time for us. cheers will, that was interesting to read

it'd be great is some techy could find a list of signings by kenny. he obviously had his purple patch - the likes of houghton and redknapp are also not on that list - and then towards the end it got dodgy. my theory on houllier is that whilst he was generally over-cautious and over-reliant on pacey strikers, his signings were worse in the end as they were rushed when he was ill. i wonder if it was the same thing with kenny ie were the dodgy signings all post hillsborough pressures?

maybe i didn't make myself clear. the blame obviously lies principally at one man's door. what souness did wrong is a given. kenny leaving early is a given. what i am saying, and i idolised/still idolise king kenny, is that he (i) should have recognised the need to rejuvenate earlier, as almost all of the first team regulars were 29 years old or older when he left, and started to recruit more than just redknapp to phase in replacements, and (ii) he made a few cack purchases at the end. the squad was so old though that there was a serious regeneration problem arising that would be difficult to tackle. even with bob's big change of the 80s, we had a nucleus of hansen, souness and dalglish that stayed the same, players who would have been earmarked as coming through the system - lee, whelan - as good enough, and a slow acquisition of good youngsters - rush, johnston, nicol, etc - over a period of time. we did not have that with kenny - the only young player i can recall he had recruited externally was redknapp, although mcmanaman and fowler would have been on his radar. the extent of regeneration required created a surmountable problem, but one which souey was incapable of overcoming. King Kenny's still a god, but we are myopic if we dont accept there were mistakes in kennys reign. sometimes i feel its all too easy to demonise souey and not attribute ANY criticism to others...

no doubt marseilles will be all over the papers again saying they are very interested in taking him on on a season's loan at reduced wages subsidised by lfc

personally i blame king kenny, my no 1 hero, for not rejuvenating the squad and the dodgy late reign purchases - i wrote to the club at the time explaining my concern at how old the squad was and received a reply from peter robinson saying they appreciated the future was important but felt the present was too! difference between king kenny and souey is that if KK had stayed on, i suspect he would have made a much better fist of creating a new competitive team

that bolx quota rule did cause a lot of problems for souey. not sure if it did for kenny - werent we out of europe then? souey's position was a little like wenger's when he arrived. wenger was masterful at phasing in change gradually. souey was not. the best thing about souey's era was that it made people realise how lucky we had been with the shankley-paisley-fagan-dalglish succession, and that succession from "within" should not be the rule for its own sake.

nah - we can still get 2nd, rafa will take it v seriously that neck is being stuck so far out!

so we might not get him to Jan 07?
