Glen Johnson....

[nelly88]

he's red, he's black,

his fingers stink of cack,

glenn johnson, glenn johnsonnnnnn

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Insua has proven himself well worth a squad position, perhaps Rafa has the same idea for Darby this season?

 

Seriously doubt that judging by his decisions to play Carra and Skrtel at right back when Bob was injured.

[Markmywords]

We bought the lad from Pompey-town, Glen J, Glen J

He didn't fancy going to City, City

Once a blue, he'll steal your loo

Glee-een Johnson, Liverpools number 2

repped - it's crap but I admire the effort

Isn't that when Darby was injured though? (I have no idea if this is correct, its a genuine question)

He was only injured for one of the games.

[JMARKH]

I am happy with signing Johnson as he is a good player but in terms of adding to our squad depth to be challenging United we need to be looking at players in the final third who can come in and do a good job when players like Torres and Gerrard are injured, they should be a priority.

[jon lad]

It's reigning Glenn, hallelujah.

 

Brilliant work Thants.

I can just see 12k kopites all singing "it's raining glenn, hallelujah, it's raining glenn".

Or is it just me?

It's a pipe-dream, just like Agger-do. It'll never happen.

[discuit]

I can confirm that Johnson is not in the Tesco near Melwood.

[Thants]

And Fernando.

 

The kop just arent gay enough.

Johnson would be a good signing for you lot imo, especially if he can step up for one of the top 4.

 

However, I've heard reports of Arbeloa hankering for a move back to Spain, reportedly for 8 million quid. Can't find a source for the life of me to back this up though, as its just what I've seen on my travels. Fair play, he's approaching the end of his contract and I can understand if you want to sell now, but I thought he would have been worth more than 8 million to you. 10 at the very least.

 

And besides, If GJ comes in and Arbeloa goes out, you've just ended up back where you started, short of cover on the right hand side of defence, albeit with a ten million pound loss if GJ comes in for 18 million and Arby leaves for 8.

 

Just my two pence worth. Make of it what you will.

Arby? Really?

 

Anyway that £10 million loss isn't a loss if you view Johnson as an improvement on Arbeloa.

That's spot on. If Arbeloa goes we still need to buy two right backs, if he stays then all we need is a 4th choice cb and reina, cavalieri, insua, aurelio, carra, skrtel, agger, say distin, arbeloa and johnson is class imo

[Vegas]

Not a loss in footballing terms perhaps. Economically, however.....

[ToxtethTerror]

We have Darby and Degen even if Bob goes, including Johnson that will be 3 right backs, and Carra can also play there.... we don't need any more.

[Fink]

I really like Arbeloa - Im not sure what Rafa has up his sleeve here.

 

He did make Andorra look decidedly average though......oh hang on

[kingkenny78]

Glen, the two of us need look no more.

Liverpool's the club you're signing for.

First, sort out your crappy hair,

Your theft of toilet-ware,

Then, and only really then,

We'll love a player like Glen.

Surely if you want to build from this season past though, you would want to have a little more than a largely-unproven-in-the-pl local lad and a semi perma-crock though as cover for RB?

 

I know I would.

 

And besides, hasn't Carra come out and said he doesn't like playing on the right? Or have I been ill-informed?

I don't think it's a case of him not liking it, more along the lines of him not having the legs to last the full 90 as it involves a lot more running.

I don't think it is right that players refuse to play in certain positions. If full back was never an option for Carra he would never have made it at Liverpool, he would be playing somewhere else given that there was no way he would have dislodged Henchoz and Hyppia in those early years.

 

I don't think we need any more right backs, we have enough cover if Johnson is injured, we just need to trust them.

[Paulie Dangerously]

It's like my Aurelio song. It's immense but it'll never catch on

I think it is more a case of Carragher struggling to play right back rather than not wanting to per se.

 

carragher has run through brick walls for the club, so I don't think anyone can question his loyalty (not saying you are by the way), I do genuinely think he has accepted his limitations.

 

Degen is just pants and not worth consideration.

[ToxtethTerror]

The times I have seen Carra at full back last season he was pretty damn good and can cross the ball pretty well too. Besides he would only go there in an emergency if Johnson and Darby are both unfit.

[Vegas]

I don't think it's a case of him not liking it, more along the lines of him not having the legs to last the full 90 as it involves a lot more running.

 

Aye. He doesn't stike me as one to run a lot during the game. Maybe if Roy Evans worked on his legs (per se) when he first broke through, we could be safely doing a job there now?

[Duff Man]

Thought he was a good player ever since his West Ham days (honest!) so it's a good signing in my book although the price does seem a bit excessive. Still, if he's a success it will be irrelevant anyway.
