We need quality depth not just a first 11 and all the rest below par because currently it isnt working.

Ye but, to score over 30 goals in his first season in the Premier League is much needed improvement. Liverpool will be deadly next season if they bring in a winger as no doubt Rafa will keep the same formation of 4-2-3-1.

Hope he does, I like that formation I use it in fifa 08

DBond5 · 02-05-2008, 12:43 PM

Ye same, haha

I wonder if Ibra could be in the Premier Leauge?

DBond5 · 02-05-2008, 01:31 PM

Doubt it, he aint been mentioned even once to a club. Not sure why

Liverpool make £10m bid for Gareth Barry

May 2 2008 EXCLUSIVE by Tony Barrett, Liverpool Echo

LIVERPOOL have tabled a £10m bid to bring Aston Villa star Gareth Barry to Anfield.

The offer was made yesterday as Rafa Benitez reacted to Liverpool's Champions League exit at the hands of Chelsea by making an immediate move for his number one summer transfer target.

The Reds boss has earmarked Barry as a potential key signing and the centre piece of his rebuilding plans as he looks to put together a squad with enough strength in depth to be able to mount a genuine challenge for the Premier League title.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill has insisted he would be reluctant to let the England international leave Villa Park. But the 27-year-old central midfielder is keen to experience Champions League football and is believed to favour a transfer to Anfield, despite interest from both Arsenal and Chelsea.

The two London clubs have been monitoring Barry's situation for several months and both are believed to be ready to test the water by make offers of their own.

But Liverpool have stolen a march on their Big Four rivals by getting in first with a £10m bid. Though Benitez rates Barry highly, he would be reluctant to get involved in an auction for a player understood to be keen on a move to Anfield.

O'Neill is desperate to retain the services of his club captain and is due to meet Villa owner Randy Lerner next week in an attempt to put together a lucrative contract in a last ditch bid to convince Barry not to quit.

But, with Liverpool able to offer Barry the Champions League football he craves and the opportunity to team up with international team mate Steven Gerrard, it is unlikely that even the prospect of being the best paid Villa player of all time would be enough to tempt him to remain at the club he joined as a teenager in 1997.

With 17 international caps and 313 Premier League appearances to his name, Barry is a seasoned campaigner whose stock has risen in recent seasons thanks to a string of influential performances for both club and country.

Former England manager Steve McClaren gave Barry a regular place in his starting line-up and Fabio Capello, his replacement as national team manager, has continued to select him in his preferred central midfield role, despite competition from the likes of Chelsea's Frank Lampard and Manchester United's Michael Carrick.

Now Benitez is keen to make him his first acquisition of the summer and Liverpool's offer will test their determination to keep hold of their star player.

Liverpool target £10million Barca defender
07:11 May, 2, 2008

Liverpool Football Club are planning a summer raid on the Camp Nou.

Rafael Benitez has been handed a healthy transfer kitty for the summer, and reports in Spain suggest he will use £10million in a bid to lure Eric Abidal, who earlier this week admitted he could be on the move at the end of the season.

“There is change in all clubs and it's correct we've not had an entirely successful season,” the France international told RMC. “For now I'm here, if ever the club chooses to sell me, we'll see.”

Benitez is known to have made a left-back one of his priorities when the transfer window reopens, but what do you Reds think about the possible capture of Abidal – would he be a good addition?

MaschPotato · 02-05-2008, 10:43 PM

wow hope this is true great player just what we need at left back IMO...just hope its not another pointless rumour we shud be trying to sign these big name players instead of seeing diaos and dioufs come in every year

mustangt1255 · 04-05-2008, 05:44 AM

yeah i think the backs blew it this uefa.

the own goal and then the penalty? stopping to look for offsides instead of playing to the whistle against chelsea?

LewisLaa · 04-05-2008, 06:01 AM

Abidal >>>>>> Riise

Galatasaray · 04-05-2008, 06:44 AM

Abidal would be a good signing. I wonder what Liverpool will be able to do next season if they sign all the players they want. David Villa, Rafinha, Abidal, and so on

Kaka11|LFC · 04-05-2008, 06:54 AM

i hope we can get Abidal Rafinha has been rumoured aswell

Phantom · 04-05-2008, 05:32 PM

We are playing in our new kits today against City!

DannyB · 04-05-2008, 06:09 PM

What was the score?

.DJ · 04-05-2008, 06:16 PM

1-0. I noticed the new kits when i was watchin the match

DannyB · 04-05-2008, 06:28 PM

I take it it was 1-0 to Liverpool? Dang..

mustangt1255 · 04-05-2008, 07:43 PM

Rumored to be after Villa? That would be enormous for the reds. their strikers would be one of the best combos in the world.

mustangt1255 · 06-05-2008, 09:45 AM

so what do you guys think about our chances at getting villa?

Also, I am just getting into soccer and I am becoming a LP fan becuz Stevie G and Torres are my favorites to watch and play with. So the question is: Iam going to study in London next year (I am American) and I am wondering is it worth it to buy a Torres jersey? Meaning, do you think he will be there for a career or at least a good while?

AnfieldG8 · 06-05-2008, 09:52 AM

Would like to see Barry if Alonso leaves.

LewisLaa · 06-05-2008, 11:19 AM

Alonso just annoys me now. He used to actually contribute to the team, now all he does is gives away free kicks on the edge of the box.

Barry>>>>Alonso
