I can't understand selling Benayoun. You've finally got strength in most areas of your first team and now you want to weaken your squad.

Say your front 6 is ....


------- Mascherano -- Alonso

---------------- Gerrard

----- Kuyt ----------------- Keane

----------------- Torres


Who are the replacements? Lucas, Babel & Vorinon!

the season doesn't start tomorrow Spank.

If Benyanoon goes then he will be replaced, by someone better.

If either Pennant or Benayoun were sold they would have to be replaced.. Pennant is more likely to leave if Rafa has his way I think, would be very surprised if we sold both.

I'd be delighted if we sold them both and brought in Silva. We'd be able to choose from Kuyt/Keane/Gerrard/Silva for the right midfield, Silva/Babel/Gerrard for the left and Gerrard/Keane/Silva for central attacking midfield. That's plenty of cover.

how is the plenty of cover you name the same players for each position.

if two got injured you'd be fucked!

If two got injured we'd be fine. Say Gerrard and Silva got injured...we'd still have Kuyt, Keane and Babel avaliable.

You do realise Babel is not that good? Kuyt wouldn't be playing for Holland anymore either.

what?

A fine point well made spank

Parks lives wrote:You do realise Babel is not that good?.

That is true!!

Parks lives wrote:Kuyt wouldn't be playing for Holland anymore either.

What?

Well he played great for Holland at the Euro's. For Liverpool he's been generally very average. Take Rosicky's point of 2 players being injured, what if one is Torres and Kuyt has to lead the line?

Then it's Keane-Kuyt-Babel and we'll need Keane to score the goals.

Which is the main reason that I'm happy to see Keane rather than a wide player.

If Torres is injured NigNog will play as CF in 4-2-3-1 or Keane/Kuyt in a 4-4-2 with Gerard on the right

NEMETH IN LINE FOR DEBUT


Hungarian hot-shot Krisztian Nemeth is in line to make his long awaited first team debut in tonight's friendly against Villarreal.
The 19-year old striker has been drafted into manager Rafael Benitez's plans for the game, while new signings Robbie Keane and David Ngog could also be given their first action in a red shirt.

Nemeth was the star performer of the reserve team's triple trophy haul last season and Benitez feels the time is right for him to make the step up to first team football.

"Krisztian is a player who has a lot of potential and I feel the time is right to include him in the first team squad for the game against Villarreal," said Benitez,

"He played very well for the reserves last season and scored quite a lot of goals. It is clear that he has the ability to score but he also has good game intelligence.

"We have high hopes for him but he must continue to work hard every day because that is the only way to improve.

"The good thing is Krisztian likes to learn and work with the coaching staff and this will only help him."

Nemeth will be joined in tonight's squad by reserve team-mates Stephen Darby, Jay Spearing, Daniel Pacheco, Emiliano Insua and Damien Plessis with Benitez again expected to give his younger players a chance to impress.

Daily mail says a 17 m plus Finnan deal has been agreed for Barry , a little bit expensive if true but a very good player no doubt about it.

Aston Villa have announced that Gareth Barry will not be joining Liverpool despite several( ) bids from the Reds.

Villa statment read: "During the discussions in the past few days, a fina deadline to conclude this episode was set that all parties agreed to.

The deadline has now passed and so Gareth will remain with Aston Villa."



Hopefully we'll some players(Voronin, Pennant, Yossi and unfortantely Arbeloa) that need shipping out and maybe we'll see another attacking player come in. We might even get a new RB depending on not only Arbeloa but Finnan's future. Rafinha might be on the cards again who knows.

Please Buy Silva. That is all.

You boys heard your Keane chant ?

He's fast
He's red
He speaks like Father Ted
Its Robbie Keane
Its Robbie Keane

Better than 'KEANEO!' I suppose

It's at least good enough to prevent an early adoption of "Keano, Keano".

or

To 'Wild Rover' tune -

Our last number 7's have been quite obscene,
So Rafa said go forth and sign Robbie Keane,
We had Houghton and Whelan in great sides before,
Now the Kop has a great Irish hero once more.
And it's Keane wearing seven *clap clap clap clap*
He creates and he scores.
And he'll take us to heaven,
Like King Kenny before.

Got it from another site but orginally from RAWK.

How about, to the tune of 'knick knack paddywhack'

We love Keane
He's a Mick
Same as Roy
But he's not a pr!ck
Knick-knack-paddywhack Robbie score a goal
Best strike force in the Premiership-O.

Apologies to all Irish posters

Yeah it is racist and offensive isn't it

I'm not Irish, I'm Bangladeshi

Though I'm really more confused than anything
