Torres should've scored then.

Agreed, should have been a peno.

You don't have to take it that seriously. Seriously though, I enjoy reading those as well.

God no, Solano, Milner, Rieira, Downing. We really want to attract the big names, don't we?

Or if we bought Messi, Ronaldinho, Villa, Quaresma, Deco, Abramovich, Terry, Alex Ferguson, Paul Merson and Maradona? Would it be ok then?

Would we then have the Brazilian Gerrard, the left sided Gerrard and the real Gerrard all in the same team?

A-men! Pisses me off no end when people keep denying it.

Well if we are to believe ES (and others) who have said that he's happy to stay, then I'd have to think that it's Benitez/LFC who have been driving this.

I get the impression it's the former.

Would he be happy to stay even after being touted around Europe though?

Stays, you mean?

This thread reminds me of those Ricky Gervais podcasts. Big Stuff = Gervais Kaizer = Karl Pilkington gackwilliams = Stephen Merchant Prongsy would probably be one of those monkeys Karl keeps talking about

Start a rumour that Rafa is doing heroin, if that happens?

Which is it then? Too much spare time (at work, I might add) OR need to try harder? If I try harder I won't have much spare time anymore.

Carra-Skrtel-Agger-Dossena (if he arrives) with Degen, Sami, Arbeloa, Aurelio and Insua providing competition.

I can already picture Villa speaking in his press conference at Anfield. Press: So David, what made you choose Liverpool after a lot of interest from various top clubs around Europe? Villa: I have to say that I was really tempted to join Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid as they are all top clubs winning major trophies every year. Also the money some of those teams were prepared to offer was something that is not easy to turn around. But Pepe Reina went out of his way and got me the ball I had scored my hat-trick with at the Euros. I understand that he managed to claim it because he speaks English very well and that, my dear journo friends, is what in the end clinched it for me. After that there was no question in my heart really. Liverpool might only pay me £20/w but I can hang around with Pepe who speaks good English and gets matchballs for his friends and with Fernando, who despite all the rumours, fits in very well with the Spanish national team. Rafa: David is a nice boy with a good mentality, no? Press: Rafa - are you going to rotate Villa in and out of the side like you did with Torres last year? Rafa: You know my answer, no? For sure, Villa gives us many possibilities, as he is a good professional with quality and good mentality, just like Kuyt. Now Dirk is amazing! Did you know that he ran 27,3 kilometres in one of our training ground matches last year? They lost the match 12-2, as Dirk was just completing round after round along the touchlines, but not many attacking players are prepared to do that. He then went on to help 7 OAP's cross the road nearby Melwood and.... Press: Err... thanks for that Rafa. Now David, how would you describe yourself as a player? Villa: I am a nice boy with a good mentality and I want to focus on running and working for my team. Press: You scored a lot of goals last year both for Valencia and for Spain though. Would you say you're a natural goalscorer? Villa: I am a nice boy with a good mentality and I want to focus on running and working for my team. Press: Do you think it will be difficult to settle in at Liverpool? Villa: I am a nice boy with a good mentality and I want to focus on running and working for my team. Press: Errr.. ok, then. Can you tell me what day it is now David? Villa: I am a nice boy with a good mentality and I want to focus on running and working for my team.

Yeah, ditto although I wouldn't say I feel huge sympathy for the driver.
