They like a good striker up there...

If he turns out to be good for us, he'll have our support no matter how many of us dont want him to be here. Rafa wont bid for him if he thinks that Heinze wont be able to get over his injury.

I read in my local newspaper that he signed a contract there. The club hasnt stated it though. Edit: Wikipedia has put him as a betis player for Copa America.

No one else. Mark Gonzalez is in Chile's squad but he's already signed for Betis on June the 12th. So, Masch is our only player in Copa America.

Javier Mascherano.

Tim Borowski isnt a forward.

We can then play Forlan out of position upfront. We can then play Forlan out of position upfront.

We could buy Benayoun and then offer him.

Sorry for nitpicking but an assist is when you pass a ball to a teammate who then goes on to score. If he doesnt score you dont get an assist. But i do get your point anyway.

Not a newbie to be honest. Just a lurker who might have missed a private joke.

I think Alves is available for around 22 million euros according to the gentleman's agreement he had with Del Nido when he signed a new contract last year. And this value has risen to that extent after all his performances in the league in the last two years. One insignificant game (league aint over) isnt going to change that.

To be perfectly honest, Cisse wasn't a bad replacement for Owen at all. He would have fitted in perfectly into the then Houllier's tactics. Gerard wanted someone to chase balls pumped over the top which was what Cisse was doing at Auxerre where he had a tremendous record in a league where not many goals are scored. Cisse wasnt a Rafa type player. Thats the reason for his downfall here. Rafa wants hard working players who defend from the front, help out the midfield when needed and do a lot of donkey work. Cisse scored goals, thats it. Hence he didnt work out. He would have fitted right into Houllier's tactics. Heskey was interesting. He was never an outright 11 million buy. We actually lost out only a couple of million on the fella when we sold him to Brum for 4 mil. Most of the 11 was, added bonuses which we never fulfilled. His last season at Leicster and his first season here was nothing short of brilliant. 23 goals in his 1st season. His downfall started when Houllier played him out on the wing. Cheyrou and Diao was just cack. Not so much Diouf but the other two were just cack. My major problem with Gerard was the fact that he played so many players out of positions. Smicer, Berger, Cheyrou, Diouf(ok, he was no good upfront) and Heskey. I actually like Gerard, an LFC fan through and through and genuinely wanted to do good for the club. He gets a lot more s**** than he deserves.

Sorry to be pedantic but shouldn't it be, out pedanting the pedant?

Diarra came on a free from Bayern.

Haha no. He's an Attacking midfielder who breaks from midfield quite often and has a good sense of spotting runs from forward and making short sharp passes.

Gerrard transfer request...
