Liverpool Linked With Gareth Barry on SSN

[The Hitman]

I dont I just prefer him to the other two useless lumps we use to play at times up front, and Voronin is not boring, he is an entertainer with silky skills.

That's the funniest thing I've read in years.

Seriously,thanks for that-cheered me right up.

Berbatov's agent talking up a move to a Champions League club again. Would be pleased to see him here, even accounting for his questionable attitude at times.

Sign Elisha_Scott!!!

 

Think we're okay for keepers mate...

[goodrobotusses]

I'd be worried if we were signing Barry based on him being friends with Gerrard. If we started consulting Gerrard on transfers we could end up re-signing Danny Murphy and Michael Owen.

Think Barry would be an excellent goalscoring replacement for Alonso, if he left. Paired with Masch in our current setup, he'd offer goals, get forward, and we'd have a natural left footer in the midfield, he'd balance us like Agger did at the back. He's a leader on the pitch too, he's big and strong, gets about well, plenty versatile, good in the air, takes a decent pen - to be honest, I see no downside to him whatsoever. Be sad to see Alonso go, but Barry offers a lot of positives.

Not for 12m though.

He can read perfectly well. It's your use of English that is causing the confusion

If we're looking to improve our overall squad then Barry would be a decent signing. He can play in several positions and chips in with goals. I'd rather have him on the bench than Peasant, Voronin, Kewell, Riise or Benayoun. Would he be prepared to earn a first team place and only be part of the squad ? he could go to other teams and be a bigger fish.

Surely we can't afford to sign squad players?

Depends on how many are sold ( given away in some cases ) in the summer. They have to be replaced, hopefully with decent players to give us a better depth to the squad. The squad is far to big anyway IMO. Could be 5/6 out and 3 in.

Hope the incomers are starters ..

I think if we get the funds at least one will be. Have a feeling that Skyrtel and Agger will be the CB pairing with Carra either starting at RB are as cover for CB, RB, LB. Could do with better full backs imo. Aurelio is decent but a bit unreliable fitness wise. Arbeloa is a decent squad player but i'd rather RB/LB's who attack more as it gives you more options. A really good winger is needed and one more out and out striker. But i dare say this has all been said before.

I think £12M is a good price for him. Hargreaves was £18M.

[Guest Prongsy]

I think £12M is a good price for him. Hargreaves was £18M.

 

Hargreaves was massively overpriced, though. Mascherano was 17m, making Barry 4m.

Heh. Jokes aside, I do think Barry's worth £12M, and think he'd fill Alonso's shoes admirably.

If Alonso leaves, we could do a lot worse with the money. Would prefer a quicker one touch player myself, but Barry is a very good player who would add something welcome and different to the midfield.

We could a hell of a lot better, too.

[Hassony]

We could a hell of a lot better, too.

 

De La Red, if only for the name would be my first choice

 

There is also the option of moving gerrard back and playing someone like Berbatov/ Diego/ VDV behind Torres

With the news about Berbatov defo wanting to leave I wonder how much he would cost. Yes there have been questions about his attitude but there is no doubting his ability.
