The Liverpool discussion thread 2006/2007

He is expensive, and he will only leave Porto for one of the biggest clubs. The biggest clubs however, with the exception of Madrid and Liverpool maybe, don't seem to need wing players, at least not that much that they are willing to pay the price.

Besides, his rather difficult character probably puts a lot of clubs off, the Barcelona incident is just proof for that.

Surely it is one of footballs mysteries why he hasn't been poached. Does the shadow of Barcelona put people off?

he has only recently turned into a star and is happy at porto who do not really want to sell him

plus the price is high

Considering what we paid for Anderson and what you paid for Torres, you'd be looking at £20 million plus.

Very good player though.

it's reported to be 22 million euro but it might be slightly higher

can't see it reaching £20 million though


we should be able to comfortably afford him. rafa was saying that torres did not cost as much as was reported and lots of sites have reported it as 21 million. we will recoup most of that from bellamy and cisse so can push the boat out for quaresma if needs be. inter will provide pretty stiff competition if they want him though

Why would they sell Anderson for £17 - 20 million and Quaresma for £15 million.

Quaersma is much more the finished article.

They probably know you have money to burn as well.

I think we'll go with a lot of reserve players tbh.

Can see Pennant getting a run out though after all he's had a 5 week break or so!

I dont want Pennant to get a run out! Sell him!

Kewell might run out....

Of steam

After 10 minutes

Sorry to disappoint, but he's currently setting the world alight in the Asia cup

I know, it was a mere humourous quip.

Well, if Pennant gets a run out we can be sure that we'll be scoring a hell of a lot of goals in that match!

As long as he isn't involved in the attack that is.

2/10

Seriously though I think Pennant will get a game and hopefully Sissoko as well, I'm trying to remember what it was last year, Bellamy played and Anderson that's all I can remember

And Fowler and Lindfield wasn't it?

Found it:

Dudek (Martin 72), Finnan (Smith 45), Riise (Antwi 45), Paletta (Hyypia 45), Roque (O'Donnell 45), Hobbs (Diao 45), Zenden (Peltier 45), Anderson (SInama-Pongolle 45) Guthrie (Threlfall 68), Bellamy (Hammill 55), Idrizaj (Fowler 45).


Goals

Paul Anderson 5'
Craig Bellamy 52'

I'd like to see:

Leto
Anderson
Hamill

Because Hamill hasn't left on loan yet has he?

Don't think so, who was the one Heighway said was good enough to play for Liverpool now? after we just won the world cup? it was the one with the shaven head wasn't it? Spearing?

Youth cup* haha

Yeah, this guy spearing.

Jesus, Don't think Torres and Alonso will want to be seen out with this guy

Idrizaj hattrick in 20 minutes.

im most interested in hammill and the two hungarians

heighway also said spearing is good enough to be in the first team although for a centre back he was a midget in the youth cup final if im thinking of the right person

Fine, but shaky moment when he ran out of the box
Steve Finnan

Gabriel Paletta
Playing well
Jack Hobbs
Playing well

good job he turns it on against barca, united and chelsea though spank rather than a pre season friendly

I suppose it's easier for him to run around against better players and try and win the ball, than actually try and pass around supposed weaker players.

Anyway his performance at Anfield this season though was one of the worst I've seen in the league this season.

Even Carragher was screaming at him to sort himself out.

put this stream into real player for anyone who wants to watch second half


@ spanky


that my friend is why you bought hargreaves

He can at least pass a ball and has the technique to take very good free kicks.
