Agree, everytime Crouch gets the ball he loses it!

COME ON!

Well in Huddesfield, 1 - 1

Fowler scores again, good on him

What makes you think oppositions fans are going to be objective when rating Liverpool players, look at the treatment Crouch got - was'nt very objective was it

Really, who gives a f@ck what other fans think, just because he has'nt got a high profile does'nt mean anything - it's about performances on the pitch not profile. Look at Cara, along with Terry he is the best CB in the country but ask opposition fans and they'll put him behind the likes of Ferdinand, Campbell and King.

Yes please

What rubbish, Finnan was voted as best RB in the premier league when he was at Fulham, and I fully agreed with that at the time as i do now. As for you list Srna and Oddo are both better going forward than Finnan, but Finnan is a much better defender than both, and a RB's foremost job is to DEFEND and secondly to support the attack, for me Finnan does this excellently. As for Sangol and Trabelsi, both are good right backs, but let's see them when they are playing in one of the top three leagues against top class opposition like Finann has.

Zenden

I've seen £4m quoted on a few sites

The way he has managed to get on with his job after the death of his father is amazing, the man is a legend

He made a massive error signing for that load of sh@te, and he is now paying for it. But he is still a class player, it's always the same thing (even when he was with us) people say he's finished and yet he keeps banging in the goals.

Yes it wasn't the most cleaver thing to do, but i loved the way Stevie G ran in and man-handled Shearer, he was showing him who was the boss and that his bully boy tactics would'nt work with us!

Mourinho coach of the year - f'ck off

I don?t know what Charlie Nicholas has against Rafa (maybe he just regrets not joining us when he had the chance and is bitter) but he criticises him every opportunity he has. I remember him saying once that he just didn?t understand Rafa?s decisions, that?s not surprising when Rafa is a tactical genius and he is a no-mark - thinks he knows it all ? tabloid football pundit.

They are not the same kind of player, the point i'm trying to make is I keep hearing people banging on about buying players who can hold up the ball, link and with midfield and create chances for other players - as you said we already have Moro, Crouch, Kewell, and even Pongolle (not to mention Mellor) who can do this effectively, we don't need another, we need someone who will bang in the chances which these players create

How many target men do we need ffs, why don't we just be done with it and sell Cisse and Pongolle and replace them with Koller, Carew & Kuyt.

We already have Crouch and Morientes, two players who can do that, not to mention Kewell who could also fill that role, what we don't have and what we really NEED is a guranteed goal scorer

I don?t think Rafa would have any hesitation turning him down if he believed it wasn?t in our interest to sign him, I don?t think he is the type of person to bow down to pressure, which is why he is a class manager. Hopefully he wants Owen.

He may want to come to us but it seems that we don?t have the amount of money they are asking for ? and Newcastle do - , and even if we did I doubt Rafa would spend it all on one player ? particularly a striker. If he had said I only want to sign for Liverpool than the ball would be in our court, but as he has expressed a willingness to join Newcastle, they are in the driving seat. Even if Owen insists on only signing for the Barcodes on loan, Real would probably prefer to loan Owen to Newcastle with a option to buy him for £16m at the end of it, that way they would hope that Owen would either change his mind and sign permanently at the end of his loan or they would hope his form for Newcastle would interest more clubs and spark a bidding war. All in all, I can see Owen joining the Barcodes and not us.
