Pizarro is on a free hes 29 a think and hes a quality striker. hes scores goals and has expereince especially in the champions league. ben haim is on a free and should come to us rather than sitting next to sidwell at chelsea. young is an england international and wouldnt cost that much. baines is a quality left back and i think he would b a better buy than bale as i think hes actually a better defender and would cost a lot less. Hope mike ashley backs big sam and lets him run the team. i think top 6 next year Haway the Lads!!!! In my opinion this is what we need
Out: babayaro, carr, pattison, dyer nzogbia
Ins: Baines, L.Young, ben haim, C.Pizarro (bayern quality striker for Free) Nolan, Anelka

Anelka is a quality striker whos scored goals wer ever he has been. nolan wants to stick with big sam and hes got better chance of playing for england when playing for the toon as mclaren is always there. Pizarro is on a free hes 29 a think and hes a quality striker. hes scores goals and has expereince especially in the champions league. ben haim is on a free and should come to us rather than sitting next to sidwell at chelsea. young is an england international and wouldnt cost that much. baines is a quality left back and i think he would b a better buy than bale as i think hes actually a better defender and would cost a lot less.

Has good potential but after he got injured he never looked himself, time will tell. With Duff being injured for a long time now I could imagine N’Zoggy staying now, if thats a good thing.

However Hyypia is not on my list when i use the classier expression. He has been at fault for many Liverpool goals this season, and seems like he is on the backburner, I would also like to think that we could get in a classy right back as i wouldnt want us to start the season with Taylor, Hyypia and Solano (Insert name for left Back here). We could do a good job with 3 free transfers tho, Distin, Ben Haim and Viduka (Possibly Ljunberg?) and then use the money on 3 good backs (Baines sounds like a good choice). I would even think that would leave us with money to spare for a big name signing later on.

If they both want to ruin their careers then good for them. But i do believe that Ben Haim will sign for us.

Makes a bit of a change. I think we need that after the last few seasons when there was more of a pessimistic outlook. HTL!
