I don't think we hold his registration.

Clearly he's rubbish. I'm glad we pulled out of the deal.

This from the Echo - it's all a bit muddled, mind. ?The conditions are no excuse. We played well in the conditions in the first half. We were doing everything right until the second half. Then we started making mistakes. ?With the pen, John said it could be. It was stupid and you need to be more careful in the penalty box. This is a lesson for the future. You need to work hard always.?

Put him back on the right. Job done.

Man, how long have we been lookign for a "world class winger" and a "world class striker"?

Aye, I just mean he's not and never will be the one in the box sticking them away - but he's worth his place int he saide any day of the week. Can't help the odd wistful glance at Martins - he's looked a good signing, even if he is 45 years old.

Kuyt will be brilliant next year, when he has a lethal partner. He's not the goalscorer, but he'll make one half of a terrific pairing.

I don't claim to knwo much about it all, Knox - but there's no reason for us to be behind Spurs on any front. There's every chance he knows far more about finance than he does about football. 'Cos he knows NOTHING about football.

The difference between our deal and the one Spurs have would pay for Dirk Kuyt. There can be NO reason for this.

Shagging in a canoe.

He's training with us, but until his registration is transferred, which it hasn't been, he's not a Liverpool player.

Maybe it's a stadium sponsor....

Probably because we don't habve an Official Nickname Department, like that other shower at the Theatre Of Dreams (vomit).

Michael Owen's helicopter must have a few empty seats.

The say they OK'd the deal, but only noticed a problem later, when they saw ALL the relevant documentation. And the same for Fernandes, presumably. It's a joke.

Tevez was an unused sub against both Arsenal and United, Mascherano not in either squad.

Martin O'Neill must be gutted, he was originally hoping to get £7M for it.

I dunno, think the cutoff for eligibility for a game is around lunchtime the previous day, so if there was a late tonight/early tomorrow announcement, then he probably could be. I wouldn't be holding my breath, like.

The PL had set today as the date of their meeting, so tomorrow is about the earliest we were ever going to hear anything.

Aye, my missus told me the same thing.

It will, because the "haves" will be in favour of it, and the small clubs will face either going along with it, or seeing the others break away into a Euro league or somesuch.

Their recently-negotiated Sponsorship deals dwarf ours, they charge fortunes for tickets, they got more prize money than us, sold more players for more cash, and include their Hotel money. And they're c****.

Nigent's the kind of player I'd love us to sign as fourth striker. Someone young and hungry that'll push our "first choice" players hard for their place. Whether Nugent would accept that kind of role, I dont know - what age is he? And Everton have tried to buy him, so there could be a bit of a smell off him.

This the same Torres that took almost three months to get a league goal from open play this season? I don't think there's any justification for spending big on Spanish players - look at Morientes - Obvious class in Spain, worked hard here, couldn't cut it. Look at Forlan, top scorer there, mince here. And kanoute, crap here for YEARS, suddenly top of the charts over there. Any big money punt on a Spanish league striker if a massive risk. If we're gambling on the next big thing, Huntelaar might be our man, Dutch players have a better record of settling here, and generally have lower price tags and more willingness to move here. There's sod all home grown talent. £18M for Darren Bent? I thought he might be a decent signing at around half that.

Rumour is that Lampard is being a right pain about Barton being in the squad, won't talk to him, pass to him, all that stuff, and just got up to move to another table at breakfast when Barton sat at the same one. Apparently as soon as he stood up and moved, Barton called after him "Don't worry, I wasn't going to nick your breakfast, you fat prick" and Lampard threw a hissy fit and stormed out.
