because Reina is about to play so needs to be sharp, while Itandge is about to sit on the bench. no haven't seen him warm up but I have seen him play, looked reasonable enough then and he has a decent reputation in France.

Awful News. RIP.

Paletta to Boca confirmed as pemanent deal and not a loan click Liverpool Football Club have confirmed the sale of Gabriel Paletta to Argentine side Boca Juniors. The young centre-back had been at Anfield since the summer of 2006. Liverpool snapped him up from Banfield following impressive displays in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championships. Argentina won the tournament, with Paletta playing in all seven games alongside the likes of Lionel Messi. The 21-year-old made his Reds debut on October 25, 2006 in a 4-3 League Cup victory over Reading at Anfield. He capped an impressive display with a second-half goal. Paletta went on to play eight times for the club. Liverpoolfc.tv wishes him all the best for the future.

I think Onuoha would be more realistic than Richards. He looks a very good prospect has a lot of pace and can play both center back and right back.

I think Xabi/Sissoko works better than Masch/Sissoko or Masch/Xabi. I don't think Alonso is as effective Alonso in an advanced position which he plays with Mascherano in the same line up, and feel he is better deeper. Masch/Sissoko would severly limit our passing game and is too defensive. So Xabi and Momo for sunderland.

Not really, Jol doesn't buy the players at spurs.

I think he's a manc reject? Played well though , very good in the air.

Gary Speed will be in charge by christmas.

b******s, we need to show a bit of aggression and desire even if that means stepping ove the line occasionally.

People need to chill out, wasn't a great game but it really doesn't matter. The best thing about the game was when it all kicked off in the last five minutes, hopefully we will carry a bit of that attitude into the new season. It seems all too often the case we allow ourselves to be bullied and we often lack aggression. It was great to see our lads getting stuck in, something the Mancs have been doing for years and Chelsea since Mourinho took over. I'm probably in the minority but having seen a bit of Drenthe in the past he is a good little player and i love the fact that he's as mad as a badger on acid. I'd love a few more c**** like him in our team, we need a few more "personality" players .

Toulouse are a decent team, definately a step up from the usual teams we play in the qualifiers.

Benfica are a massive club and Adu is still a fantastic prospect with a massive amount of potential.

Injury prone yes but he can be devestating. He should be a good signing for man city. Like Sven or not his record as a club manager is pretty good, he loves pacey players and petrov definately is one.

RAFA HAILS NEW LEIVA-POOL ARRIVAL Mark Platt in Hong Kong 26 July 2007 Rafael Benitez believes Liverpool have acquired one of world football's best young talents in Brazil under-20 captain Lucas Leiva. The Reds boss is delighted to finally be working with the highly-rated Leiva, who this week joined up with the squad for the first time following his summer move from Gremio. A combative box-to-box style midfielder, Leiva's signature was coveted by a host of top clubs and Benitez is backing him him to play a starring role in Liverpool's future. The manager said: "Lucas is a young player with great experience because he has played at international level for Brazil many times. We have known about him for a long time and had to move quickly to sign him because many top clubs were interested. "He will need to improve his English but other than that he's settled down quickly. I was away in Switzerland for the first ten days he was at the club but all the reports I received were good and he's done well in training over here. "Lucas is not a typical Brazilian player but he's a clever player who wants the ball all the time, which is important. He will need time but I think we've signed a really excellent prospect. "He's a player with character who works hard, can play in the holding midfield role and also get in the box to score goals. His mentality is a winning one and that's what we want here; a team of winners. "He's one for the future but also one for this year. I've explained that he'll face tough competition for his place but that is good for us. If you want to win trophies, and by that I mean more than one a season, you have to have a bigger squad." link

While his finishing is poor the fact that he is getting into positions to score shows a big improvement. FWIW i think Pennant looked pretty good in pre season last year just lost confidence when it came to the season proper. Hopefully he will keep his confidence this time.

Perhaps it works similarly to a player signing a pre contract agreement with another club when he is due to move on a bosman . Could it be the case that Mascherano has a pre contract with MSI,GSA or whoever?

Sell everyone buy Quaresma.

Isn't that what they signed Hargreaves for?

He definately doesn't lack pace.

Been a decent tournement, Maxi Morales has been the star but is unfortunately a midget and Aguero looks good but everyone knows that. Wasn't particulary impressed with Insua. Czechs best players have been Kalouda,Suchy and Janda(unfortunately suspended for the final). Adu looked good at this level yet again and despite the hype is potentially a very good player. Janczyk looks class for Poland, having seen him in a couple of these under age competitions I think he could be one of the best around in a few years time.

Is he joining straight up with the squad or is he having a break first? Hopefully he won't need a break seeing as he has missed so much football over the last few years. He shouldn't even need to travel too far to link up with the rest of the squad when we fly out to Asia this week.

Imo he has been one of the sharper looking players so far this pre season.

Yeah imagine if Chile's best player couldn't get a work permit, that would be terrible

The pre season matches so far would suggest not.
