Here's the article from nu.nl for anyone that can speak Dutch 'Liverpool bereidt ultiem bod voor op Kuyt' Uitgegeven: 15 augustus 2006 08:33 Laatst gewijzigd: 15 augustus 2006 08:35 AMSTERDAM - Liverpool wil Dirk Kuyt op korte termijn naar Anfield Road halen. De Engelse club bereidt een ultiem bod voor op de spits van Feyenoord. Dat meldt het Algemeen Dagblad dinsdag. Liverpool heeft tot 31 augustus de tijd om de speler binnen te halen, omdat op die datum de internationale transfermarkt sluit. Liverpool toonde al eerder interesse in Kuyt, maar de afkoopsom voor de Katwijker zou tot nu toe een struikelblok vormen. Vorige week maakte de trainer van de Reds, de Spanjaard Rafael Benítez, bekend dat zijn club door de verkoop van Djimy Traoré aan Charlton Athletic extra geld beschikbaar heeft. Hoofdtoernooi Zondag haalde Liverpool de eerste prijs van het seizoen binnen door ten koste van Chelsea de Engelse Supercup te veroveren. Volgende week kan de ploeg zich tegen het Israëlische Maccabi Haifa plaatsen voor het hoofdtoernooi van de Champions League. Het eerste duel in Liverpool eindigde woensdag in 2-1 voor de Engelsen. Volgende week staat de return op het programma. Die wordt vanwege de spanningen in het Midden-Oosten gespeeld in de Oekraïense hoofdstad Kiev.

He's also strong and holds up the ball well bringing people into play.

Maybe we're signing someone else called Gonzalez..........?

Is the correct answer. It seems to take Riise a few weeks more than most and consecutive games to get back into his rhythym. Highlight of the match Zenden saving a corner for us then dribbling it out for a throw in to them!!

Sherif Tom Underlay?

Edited LOL!!

Craig Bellamy and Jermaine Pennant are both in line to make their Anfield debuts tonight and Gerrard admits he has been impressed with the Reds' new recruits since their arrivals. Taken from Gerrard: Not Qualifying is Unthinkable With Pennant starting I'd assume that either Xabi or Momo won't be unless it's Crouch that doesn't start pushing Gerrard further forward?

Apparently Dudek has an offer from Man City?? I think Anny Road has a mate who's a player there. If so can he confirm/deny this? I wonder if this mean James will go to Pompey?

Formation Time!!!!!! Reina Finnan Carragher Hyypia Riise Gerrard Sissoko Alonso Gonzalez Crouch Bellamy Subs: Dudek Kromkamp Paletta Zenden Pennant Garcia Fowler

From Bascombe's article on Traore So that'll be Traore out and what with the rumours that Pongolle and Le Tallec are off, a bid should be imminent.

Likewise, thanks!

Ok so that'll be the Chelsea side that have won the league the last 2 seasons with Lampard being top scorer with 13 and 16?!?!

No worries!

Not to mention the last 2 sentences

Good point.

I think (potentially, depending on how they fit in) we have done with the aquisitions of Pennant, Bellamy and Gonzalez.

Or a possible ban on transfers?

IF the deal goes though interesting it'd be in September after the transfer window is closed. Wonder if that's so we don't pay over the odds for players this summer but actually have the money if need be?

Rafael Benitez today revealed he's confident of bringing another new striker to Anfield before the transfer window closes at the end of the month. The Anfield boss still believes he's one striker short of the ideal squad he'd like to kick off the new Premiership campaign in less than three weeks time. Benitez admits he probably won't conclude a deal in time to register any new player to take part in the club's Champions League qualifier with Maccabi Haifa, but he hopes to have another new man on board before the August 31 deadline. "We're continuing to work," he says. "Maybe it's too late for the Champions League qualification round, but there is one month left and that gives us the time to sign the player we need. "I think we still need an extra striker, just in case. I'm happy with the strikers we have but I think we need another and I'm confident we'll sign one." Taken from Official Site

Tomorrow at midnight. Taken from UEFA Regs

I think it's his lucky number or something. I think he wore itat Villareal too.

Dunno, in basketball they have an mvp for each game IIRC? Who knows!!

MotM?!

Ah ok my mistake, thanks.

I wonder if we can get hold of that and other info under the FOI act?
