Interesting, you might want to ask Newcastle fans if that's the case

Because his salary would be too high.

Ulster bank have no private equity arm, so this will not be any king of investment approach from them. This will be LFC approaching them to borrow money. To be honest since we changed advisors from Hawkpoint to PwC, PwC will be running round like headless chickens speaking to everyone to justify their fees, so we'll probably hear a lot of this kind of story. The only downside is that they have a very inexperienced debt advisory dept. within their corporate finance arm (which LFC are retaining) so I'm not expecting any miracles in terms of borrowing new money.

Now the challenge is to get some mancs to say it.

I don't think Momo will ever be as good a defensive midfielder as Hamann, however Hamann never had the attacking aspect to his game that Sissoko seems to be developing (although he was pretty good going forwards for Newcastle, albeit in a different role). All round I think Sissoko will be the better player, however I can't see Sissoko deveolping the kind of positioning sense that Didi has and his ability to crush the life out of opposition midfields. Sissoko is more exciting to watch and makes us a more attacking side. Didi is the ultimate stabiliser and there have been few players so able to make brilliant midfielders look mediocre. They are different players with different strengths and depending what you require each are 'better' than one another depending on circumstances.

Ah, but who is 'we'?

But then whose fault would it have been when Stevie wasn't in the right position to head that goal?

I speak to Uri Geller.

To be fair if hamann had been on in the first half, then we wouldn't have been 3 down either. But then we probably wouldn't have won.

Without Biscan for example we never would have gotten to the final, let alone given the chance for Smicer to score the 2nd and a peno and have Dudek put on the best 2nd half/ET/peno performance of his life. oh, and win by the way.

Do you honestly think if we had been able to bring on Sissoko in the secong half of the CL final he wuld have been able to shut down their midfield anywhere near as effectively as Hamann did. Not a chance.
