So, Liverpool accept a bid from Villa Monday afternoon and the player goes for a medical monday night - why aren't our transfers this quick and simple?! And I thought Ellis was worse than Shepherd!!!  The personal details had been ironed out nearly two weeks ago. Baros wants the Villa move over the Lyon one and Liverpool have accepted that whilst holding the most out money they can from Villa.
It will indeed be interesting to see how the next week unfolds. |

Benitez said they need a centre-back, not a centre-forward.
But of course, if they sell Baros, they will then need a centre-forward. And Michael Owen is available. So when Baros goes, I'm sure it's pretty much nailed on that they'll get Owen.
At last someone who cann read Rafa...  |

Would Cisse be effective in a 4-3-3 system, Rafa/Softlad?
I'm sure he would. I like him as a player but agree with 'Rafa's assessment re: first touch and more misses than goals. |

David James shouldn't be allowed to play for England ever again.
So...........goalkeepers for the World Cup IMO should be:
Paul Robinson
Chris Kirkland (if fit)
Robert Green
Actually.....................I can't think of any other English keeper who would be good enough....
Carson for one... |

What annoys me is sven should have been sacked for banging that bird from FIFA. Mark Palios was forced to resign for the same thing when he is a single bloke and really hadn't done anything wrong. Sven is married and although some may say "good on him" it really isn't a good example to set.
Is correct. is not correct. palios resigned in the wake of the conspiracy against erikkson, which was offering The Sun info about Erikkson's affair in order to keep Palios out the papers, not for the affair itself. Is correct that Sven should have been sacked for that though. |

the bit in bold is on of the fundamental problems. if you play a 4-4-2 then it's either gerrard OR lampard, can't play both cos they both rush forward leaving gaps, they're both crap tacklers, and they both can't pass the ball. how different it would be if we had a Scott Parker anchor man, not only would his physical presence and tackling stop players like gravesen dominating, it would free up lampard or gerrard to get forward. or michael carrick would help us keep possession a lot better so we aren't always on the back foot.
Spot on and in pre-season/season to date you'd put Gerrard in the advanced role and have a holding midfielder - who that would be though is up for debate. Possibly Parker amongst others, dare I say it even Phyliss Neville... |
