New left back

[danperkins]

After this World Cup I expect there will be very little chance of us getting Ceontrao. Or Salcido for that matter. But I'd be well happy if we got either of them.

We're getting Julian Dicks instead

 

[Red Phoenix]

My limited knowledge of him extends to him playing for the Uruguayan Liverpool side.

 

Can't be a bad thing, can it?

 

So someone has been here already! My heads been fucked since I saw where he started out as I had no idea at all and have been impressed with him. Agreed anyway Ian and Juan, would love to see him here.

 

He'll be missed against Holland later aswell.

[Unrighteous]

I would agree with Salcido, been very solid. And if we were looking for a centre back Diego Lugano of Uruguay as been immense.

 

Lugano was available on a free last summer... but he resigned in Turkey. I remember him having a huge reputation before he joined Fenerbahce, and everyone expected him to end up in Spain in a bigger club, but then he signed in turkey and it was a major coup for them.

Figueroa keeps being linked with us.

 

I haven't seen much of him, anyone rate him?

There are few lads on here who seem to rate him, but personally, every time I've seen him, he reminded me of good old Djimi Traore!

[WaltonRed]

I dont like him either.

Did you really just use the words 'good' and 'Traore' in the same sentence?

 

Must have been a mistake.

 

[Woo]

Figueroa seems a solid full back, which is what we need/can afford. Seems a physical player, which we could do with as well. I'd be happy enough with him for £6m. Not many affordable alternatives out there.

[Guest LFD]

Would anyone take Heinze for a year or two?

 

Think he only has one year left on his contract, might piss off United as well... although I haven't seen enough of him lately to know whether he has the 'legs' for the Premiership anymore.

Ha ha .

 

He makes Insua look fast.

[WaltonRed]

Heinze is past it.

 

He's found a cozy little place at Marseille too.

[Guest LFD]

Shame, top player in his prime.

[WaltonRed]

I dont think he was, he was decent and his reputation was much more than what he actually was.

Always happens with players who played in winning sides, Carrick, G.Neville, Giggs etc.

[hamstrung]

Or perhaps good footballers in good teams just win shit and that?

[Il Fenomeno]

Depends really you can be a passenger in teams like Park Ji Sung and win shitloads. People will just look back on his trophy count and say he was a great player when he wasn't a bit like LFD saying Heinze was a top player.

[Gary Mac Legend]

Hasn't Anderson won 3 PL titles, and a champions League? Does it make him better than Gerrard?

[Gary Mac Legend]

Personally, I like Figueroa, I think he'd do a job for us. My preference would be Taiwo though.

I've no great desire to defend Man Utd players. I don't think anyone would claim Park Ji Sung is a world beater but he's a reliable squad player for them and has contributed to their recent success.

 

We had players like that in our heyday, as do all winning teams.

What sort of retarded point are you trying to make there?

[The Dude Abides]

Salcido. €4m. Done and done.

[Guest LFD]

Heinze was quality the first season at United, especially.

Don't judge a player on their medals.

Fiorentina hope to conclude a £3.7million deal for Liverpool Emiliano Insua following Roy Hodgson's appointment as Rafa Benitez's replacement at Anfield.

 

The Italians looked close to a deal last month but were told to wait for the Reds new manager to be appointed.

 

Fabio Aurelio and Andrea Dossena have already left the Merseysiders, but Hodgson is likely to let go of fellow left back Insua if he can secure a replacement.

 

The former Fulham manager has identified Wigan Athletic's Maynor Figueroa as the perfect candidate and is ready to battle Sunderland for the £6million-rated Honduras international.

 

Insua, 21, has struggled to impress at Liverpool since a 2007 move from Boca Juniors and did not look up to the rigours of Barclays Premier League football last season.

 

Insua closes in on Fiorentina switch - Liverpool FC

 

 

 

How do well feel about it?
