I hope Daniel Pacheco gets some minutes in the Tranmere game. He's going to be one of our best reserve players this year for sure. We literally stole him from Barcelona where he was the best player in their U17's.

I'm also excited to see Plessis play, he did impress in the Arsenal game.


I also really want to see Lucas flourish this year. He's very highly rated in Brazil. it would be fantastic if he could get a starting role at some point this season.

I read that rafa would have to contact Voronin and Gerrard and see how they are if they want to play in the game.

Maybe they are a little unfit?
But Rafa also stated he wants to use a large amount of youth in his game so he can guage their talents.

Could be good news for Pacheco then

Not long now

Blackburn boss Paul Ince is keen to sign Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant as a possible replacement for David Bentley.

I think that could be pennant plus money for bentley coming to us

Gunners to hijack Barry bid - The S*n

Arsene Wenger is ready to make a move for Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry, who wants to join Liverpool.

If this is true, i think rafa will pay the 18 mill because he knows arsenal will pay more if they have to

Liverpool have received two offers from ‘rival’ Premiership clubs for Scott Carson according to The Liverpool Echo. Funds from Carson’s departure will be used in an attempt to bring Robbie Keane to Anfield.
Plenty of clubs are in for the England international but not many are willing to match the £10million price-tag. However, it’s believed that the offer received is lower than the £10million valuation.
Stoke City, Aston Villa, Celtic, Fulham and West Brom are reported to be interested in the ‘keeper.

Can someone tell me why we're raising funds for Keane but not a winger like Silva

Well we'd already have set transfer funds.
Carson + Crouch = Keane
Set funds = Silva?
everyone else we sell = ?

We need a quality backup for Torres.
We have nothing now Crouch is gone.

backup? so you want to spend 20m on a backup...exactly why he got voronin in for a free...you dont spend more than 10m for a player and not play him

[Brendyne]

Keane wont cost 20.

You think Voronin is a quality backup?

[suggs]

Did you just take it how it was?
Did you think the 18m we'd get from both those players would all go on Keane?

Stupid.



Name a club who wins the leagues in Spain, Italy and England who doesn't spend millions on players who don't play every game.

I'm all for signing good players cheap but you have splash the cash often enough to keep you upto standard with the top of the comp.

Voronin wont keep us at the top of the comp if Torres goes down and Voronin sits there.

Im talking aboutthe main formation which is displayed above.
Keane wouldn't start in that formation.
I assume you know Rafa rotates?
Keane would get plenty of games, and he's better then what we've had recently outside of Torres.

Keane would sit just behind Torres and hopefully the linkup would work well.

I don't want Keane for alot of money.

yes youre absolutely right. lets sign keane for millions. put him on bench as a backup and let him say he wants to play reguarly and sell him again. well done great transfer. lets face it. rafa wants to sign keane to play with torres, not warm his bench
