Overrated, but good. He's like Anelka I think. Quick, strong, double footed, can play up top on his own. Seems to have something special about him, can score a goal out of nothing, but still, the ligue 1 defences are hardly great, some of the fees rumoured are ridiculous.

Paper reports seem to think Liverpool are up sh*t creek.

Why the hell did we sell up to these American wan*ers!! In a summer where we really needed to kick on and improve our first 11. It looks like we've missed out of Silva, Glen Johnson, Barry, Lavezzi and Tevez!

Instead we're switching our intentions to Sylvain Distin and Tuncay!! Welldone Hicks and Gillett you absolute American bast*rds!

although i cant see why you would want distin he always has one huge mistake in him and he never really fills you with confidence.

tuncay though is actually not a bad player he just needs some good players around him.

The continental titus bramble

It does make those Liverpool fans who welcomed them with open arms and fell for all of their new stadium guff look a bit foolish, doesn't it?

There but for the grace of God go United, especially if the Glazer's hadn't refinanced Red Football's loans when they did (which was just before the banking system imploded).

What makes United's position amazing is that, had they beaten Barca (and arguably without having done so), we've have just had the most successful 3 year period in the clubs history and have just secured (another) world record kit sponsorship deal. The Glazers would have been the perfect owners if you ignore the little matter of crippling debts...

If all of this proves to be true and these big targets don't sign and you end up signing mediocre ones then I would agree with you. However I would wait and see what happens first, none of these alledged signings have gone elsewhere yet apart from Barry.

Ronaldo off to real for £75m and if he doesn't Real have to pay him £26m.

Rooney is demanding a central attacking role next season as he is fed up of playing wide left, can't say I blame him.

Utd not linked with anyone though.

Looks like Chelsea want Ashley Young aswell now www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 18,00.html

Snoogy Doogy will not be signing for Liverpool this summer, but the likes of Tuncay and Sylvain Distin might.

If we end up signing sh'it players like them, we'll be the ones dropping out of the CL to Man City, not Arsenal.

Garbage PL players like Distin and Tuncay aren't good enough, there's a reason players like Tuncay sign for sides like 'Boro on a free, Distin signing for Pompey on a free - they're sh'it and not good enough for the top sides.

Cheers mate, I did think it was a lot of money for a player in the French league, but I suppose that's the problem when there are a few clubs interested in him.

Ribery and Benzema seem to be the most talked about, but can't see any of this happening without the sale of Ronaldo / loss of Tevez TBH.

I wouldn't mind a cheeky bid for Eto'o if Barca are willing to get rid however.

reminder that Cantona is on Jonathan Ross for those that are interested

I think i may give it a watch cheers for the reminder

Thanks, I'll avoid it now

Day 2 in the Big Brother house and I'm developing a Geordie accent.

Howay pet. Shea-rer. The Championship...

Bloody hell - I'm getting deja-vu.

Don`t know if it`s already been posted but can`t be &rs£d checking. Just seen the new Everton shop (called Everton 2) in the new shopping centre in Liverpool which is called Liverpool 1. The address reads
Everton 2
Liverpool 1
Genious

Must admit, that's quite clever.

Depends where you saw it first.

Can't remember ... is it Groundhog day?

You know what they say, when oli30045 follows ze trawler, it means ze moon is full in ze west.
