I would have said another Centre Forward is a bigger priority than a Centre Back. I think we have better in reserve in defence than up front and without Torres look painfully weak compared to those around us. If as assumed we have around 15 million left to spend, I'd make a cheeky bid for Pavluchenko, who could be surplus this season.
-
I think he's spot on there though. I doubt Rafa has the funds to buy Silva and whoever else he wants, which he probably feels are a bigger priority.
-
In the vast majority of cases when we wanted to get rid of them, yeah. Which is different from players being tempted back to their homeland after one or two seasons.

Aye, it'll be tough in Glasgow but I think Arsenal will have far too much at home. -

Arsenal will murder them. -
I'd always go for the extra quality who will give you the edge. Holes are there to be plugged by the reserves. Give Ferguson his due, he's never been scared to spend what money he has on class and throw in young lads to bulk up the squad.

They got Celtic anyway.

We're not a selling club and should be planning for long term stability not short term profits. If you read he was just an example of someone who could be tempted back to Spain within a couple of seasons if Barca or Madrid came calling, which doesn't exactly help the manager.
-
Dossena is still likely to leave, so there's an extra few mill added to the Arbeloa money for a new defender. Then it depends what's left over. If I had to guess I'd say we'll be in for a striker.
-
The mind boggles with some people. As for Lucas, I doubt he'll be going anywhere, even if he wants to.
-
I won't be able to relax until our lads are back and inury free, especially Gerrard and Torres.
-
I don't care who we get as long as they pay what's right for one of the most famous shirts in football. One of the Carlsberg people was in the press a few days ago saying negotiations for a new deal were close to complete. Maybe this new speculation is just a part of that.
-
I've only just noticed that there's another round of international friendlies next week, just 3 days before the start of the season. The vast majority of our lads will be away, including Masch for Argentina, and won't be back until Friday. How are managers supposed to prepare their teams properly when they don't see their players all week? The greed and stupidity just beggars belief.
-
We need a settled team not one in perma transition, even if we're making a profit. Maybe we should start looking elsewhere. Eastern Europe is producing some quality players these days, and most will see England as the pinnacle of their career.
-
It's certainly a concern. I'd love us to sign Sliva, for example, but you know if he has a great season the big two Spanish clubs will be sniffing round. We used to be able to ward them off by paying higher wages but with the high tax rates here the balance of power has seemingly swung back to La Liga and they can be tempted back, especially with the better lifestyle on offer.

Alberts girl is completely and utterly stunning. Sod his injuries, I'm in love.
-
Obviously. But I'd like to think if he had a chance of going to both he'd choose us.
-
Theres's pics in Italian media of Albert at the airport on his way to London and a statment thanking Roma, Totti, the fans, etc, and if all goes to plan he'll be unveiled on Monday. Napoli also look to have pulled the plug on the Dossena deal and are after someone from Juve instead. I think we could do with selling him as we don't need a 3rd choice full back on big wages.
-
Do you reckon he would go there knowing we are interested? He's always come across as someone not that desperate to leave Spain, but if he did it would be to us for obvious reasons.
-
They're both as bad each other. Some nice words from Xabi, I'd expect nothing less.
-
That's not a Liverpool site is it? I've seen a few articles on there from that odious slimball Kanwar.

You stalkers are such a hoot.

Near enough. Ollie Irish, that name sounds familar.
