Alonso

Silva seems to be more a Garcia type player whereas if we want a proper winger then I'd like us to go for Capel.

He's quite short but showed good body strength against Puyol in a few challenges and seems to be difficult to knock of the ball due to his low centre of gravity.

I really think we should be keeping an eye on Diego Capel from Seville, he's had some good games recently against Barcelona amongst others. He'll be 20 in Feb and shows a great work ethic combined with pace and great close control and he is a left winger.

Damn can't edit my original post so Sergio Ramos!

Where did you hear this cos there are a couple of emails and posts from other forums in this thread saying that but they don't exactly come across as accurate.

Would prefer Ramos myself but slighlty less realistic!

Well if he is suggesting that then he's wrong. Riise is usually 5 yards or more away from the winger due to his poor positioning and very rarely blocks the cross coming in let alone knick the ball of them.

Surely if you win the ball from an opponent you've tackled them?

It seems to me that it's all down to whether Gillette signs this loan deal to wipe out their inital debt but in the process loading the new one on the club. If he doesn't sign it then it seems that Hicks will have no choice in selling, maybe even both of them.

The Sunday Mirror alos have it but as an exclusive, so I wonder if the Mail lifted it from there?

Skrtel could quite easily be the love child of Wheater and Senderos:

At least no-one in the PL then.

To who?

Reina Finnan Carragher Hyypia Arbeloa Benayoun Gerrard Alonso Babel Crouch Torres Lets take it to them and really hit them with a fluid performance.

Yeah what's the hold up? We wanted the deal done so he'd be ready for Saturday's game and the indications were it'd be done midweek.

I watched the first half of Sevilla v Barcelona last night and was impressed by Sevilla's left winger Diego Capel. He gave Puyol a bit of a torid time showed pace, good touch and put in a couple of good crosses. He also looked strong on the ball, worked hard and tracked back whenever Barcelona attacked. He scored the equaliser as well, a low left foot volley from the edge of the area from a corner. He's 20 in February and wondered if anyone can comment on him who's seen him play more?

There's also Antonio Lopez who is in competition with Pernia to play at LB for Atletico and Spain. Pernia has made more apps this season but Lopez has made his fair share of starts.

Dunno about top scorer but he'll certainly overtake Kuyt's Liverpool total and probably by the end of Feb. Torres is on 16 Kuyt 21!!

Some of the manager’s that’ll available in the summer: Mourinho Hiddink Ancelotti Mancini Deschamps Koeman Van Basten Lippi Rikjaard Schuster Klinsman Hitzfeld Scolari Jol McClaren Allardyce Who out of that lot would you take to replace Rafa?

Reina Arbeloa Carragher Hyypia Riise Gerrard Alonso Mascherano Kewell Torres Babel Subs: Itandje Hobbs Aurelio Benayoun Kuyt 2-0 Torres & Babel Could quite easily go 4-2-3-1 as well with Gerrard, Babel and Kewell all interchangable as the 3.

But typically back just in time for our league match against them.

Zonal marking to blame.......apparently according to the "experts" in the studio.

Just got sent this text: Rafa Benitez has defended his rotatio policy explaining that it keeps the burglars guessing who'll be at home on matchdays.

Kewell to score first Liverpool to win 2-1 100/1 with William Hill.

From the BBC Gossip page: Liverpool are set to scrap plans for a new £700m stadium because funding for it has been hit by the volatile financial credit markets. (Mirror) Can't find the article on the Mirror website.
