Lucas Neill.

[Sangria]

Salgado. Decent right back, gets stuck in, better than neill, madrid looking to offload. as good a stop gap as i can think of. another loan deal till the end of the season.

 

The thing with Neill is he can cover right across the back line. I am no big fan of the fella but he can do a half decent job in any of those positions.

[El Rojo]

As others have stated, it's win-win for us. If he follows the pound signs to West Ham, he was never right for us anyway.

[fivetimes]

It is baffling to read comments about Neill being nothing more than a mindless clogger and in the same instance slow, washed up players in La Liga being touted as potential recruits.

 

Sloq and washed up?

 

For a stop gap, Salgado would be a superb signing. There is nothing "slow" about him.

[Thants]

Neill is quoted as calling LFC his "dream move".

 

Figo said that too.

 

RR, i find your avatar very disturbing. What is it? It may help me sleep.

[Anubis]

Big money and a move to a top team, or big big money and relegation. He probably thinks he can insert a get-out clause should they be relegated. A useful player, but I wouldn't be gutted if he chose West Ham.

[Captain]

If he plays silly beggars, who do we go for then? Off the top of my head I can only think of Lauren who would provide experienced full back cover, and who is available.

 

Anyone else?

 

No-one, then we ride our luck for another four months. If luck deserts us, Carra moves in.

 

If all else fails, play a youngster. He might actually rise to the occasion, although you know more on that than I do.

[RedKnight]

If he can't decide between us and West Ham he can fuck off. Six months at Liverpool is better than a career at West Ham.

[cochcaer]

48 hours to decide between West Ham and Liverpool, crikey that's a tough one. This sounds almost like Beckham, and rather than his playing career his thoughts are on a final big payday.

[Mr T]

I was quite pleased about him coming here..

 

He can feck off now though.

[Guest bigf00t]

To be fair Bascombe was suggesting it was his advisors/agents fucking around rather than Neil himself...

I think that is an escape route for Neill if he signs for us.

Because he now looks like moneyneill.

[Unrighteous]

Oh fuck off now Neill... Want to get relegated with the bubble-blowing tossers or play for one of the biggest clubs in the world?

[Thants]

It's an alien, called a Ballchinian. It's off one of the Men in Black films. An expert will remember which one.

 

 

 

And sleep...

It must be the secondzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Hermes]

To be fair Bascombe was suggesting it was his advisors/agents fucking around rather than Neil himself...

 

Is this the same Bascombe who said the FIFA rule on playing for 3 clubs in 12 months did not apply in the case of Mascherano?

[Scouse_Datcha]

I believe Nolberto Solano is currently sitting in a taxi outside St James's.

 

 

Class :laugh:

[Guest bigf00t]

and lets not forget...

 

He wont be first choice here... Maybe he's going somewhere else to get more games.

[Guest bigf00t]

Is this the same Bascombe who said the FIFA rule on playing for 3 clubs in 12 months did not apply in the case of Mascherano?

 

Yeah... and the same bascombe who said Liverpool would be putting a legal fight together to get mascherano about 3 days before anybody else mentioned it.

 

I don't think you're going to easily discredit Bascombe...

Says who? Riise has been utter shite this season. Neill has been superb all season playing LB at Blackburn. For me, he could walk straight into the first team against the Chavs.

 

I don't think Aurellio is good enough defensively for LB either.

 

Lets hope Insua becomes a cracking player.

[RoboRiise]

If he wants to go to West Ham because they're going to pay him more, or because he'll get more games, that tells me everything I need to know about his ambition.

 

This is probably the last or second last big move of his career. If his choice is to piss the next couple of seasons away scrapping with the Hammers instead of playing for a top four club with a Champions League place, we won't have missed out on anything worth having in my opinion.

 

One more thing - if he joins them now, they go down and we try to land him again in the summer, I will be most unimpressed.

Can't see Rafa giving him another bite at the cherry.

 

Rafa is one man you don't wanna fuck off. :yes:

 

I'm sure this is all his agents doing. Hopefully Neill will set them straight.

[bobhorse]

Neill agrees 2 1/2 year deal at West Ham with a relagation release clause he will under go a Medical tomorrow

[Josef Svejk]

According to his agent in The Times.

 

Not to worry...

[Strontium]

Oh dear, beaten out by West Ham in the transfer market... inflated wages or not, that's pretty poor.

[Strontium]

Rick Parry & Liverpool board in desperate attempt to tie up Neill deal:

 

[Josef Svejk]

Mascherano is a much more exciting signing, if it comes off. Let's not get carried away. Neill is a handy player, largely because of his versatility. But there are alternatives, no doubt...
