With all these midfielders out, and assuming Pennant won't be fit, we don't have that many options. Either we go: Finnan Carra Sami Agger Garcia Gerrard Zenden Riise Kuyt Crouch or: Carra Sami Agger Finnan Gerrard Zenden Riise Kuyt Crouch Garcia We used that 3-4-3-formation with good effect away against Newcastle last year. Maybe this is the time to try it again.

He'll sign tonight.

Yep, I'm sure both him and Carra signed until 2009.

So bad. We haven't had anything since they scored.

We were the better team and should have won, but we are so damn ineffective. There's loads of positives.

Sissoko

Well, he HAS TO trust Aurelio to do his job. He's just making it worse by trying to do his job as well as his own.

WTF is up with Sami? Don't think I've ever seen him this bad.. looking slower than ever, misplacing every header and seems literally lost.

Agree with the above post. Neill is a t*** and I wouldn't take him even if I was paid.

I don't think he's lazy. Admittedly, I haven't seen much of him in Bundesliga, but when he plays for Germany he makes good runs without the ball and has a decent work rate. I don't think that would be a problem.

I would prefer Klose over Kuyt, but I won't be disappointed if we end up signing Kuyt either.

If City sign Isaksson I can't see them sign Dudek as well. And if they did, it would be a bad move for both of them..

Isaksson's very good. I'm surprised that bigger clubs aren't in for him anymore..

They had set the date to August 2nd, and when I checked two or three days ago it still said August 2nd and a free supporters set. I was looking again last night and then it said July 28th 5pm, for kit-only orders and to UK addresses only. Great. They need to be prepared for this, to move the date five days forward without notice like that is very bad manner. I had been thinking about buying one but figured I didn't have to hurry yet, now I will have to look elsewhere and won't get that supporters set.

Basically says that the match on Saturday will go ahead as planned despite the rumours, that Pennant could make his debut and that Liverpool was in negotiations with Feyenoord over Kuyt last night according to The Independent. The fee mentioned is £10m.

I'm happy that it will be aired up here, as it looks like there won't be any coverage on the e-season.

That's what I want to know. Why am I still reading this thread?

Klose is class, way better than any other striker we've been linked with. I'd be over the moon if we signed him.

Lindfield looks class, best player on the pitch so far. Great goal and has made quite a few good runs that has resulted in good chances. One for the future for sure if this display is anything to go by.

It's not just that. They have made some quality signings in the last few years and have a good manager. I'm a bit afraid of them tbh.

Yep I have the same. And some very, very quiet sound that don't seem to have anything to do with the game.
