Robert Huth?

 

Robert fucking Huth?!?

[thompsonsnose]

If there is the slightest whiff of us getting Adam Johnson we should be balls out blazing to get him.

Sell whoever we need to to raise the dosh.

He's a fantastic player.

 

But we're after Huth.....i fucking despair.

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is lining up a £5million bid for Stoke defender Robert Huth.

Hodgson will test Stoke's resolve to keep Germany international Huth with an offer in the New Year as he bids to solve a defensive crisis.

 

Liverpool will be without Jamie Carragher until February while Daniel Agger has struggled for most of the season with a calf problem.

 

And Huth - who is nicknamed the Berlin Wall - will be targeted to strengthen the foundations of Hodgson's back line.

 

 

The 26-year-old has impressed at the Britannia Stadium since a £6m move from Middlesbrough last year.

Hodgson has been a long-term admirer of the former Chelsea star and is preparing a bid next month

My calendar is wrong. Mine says it Christmas Eve, but it's surely April Fools Day.

'nicknamed the Berlin Wall' - and he's about half as mobile...

Not even a well made up story. Bought for £6m now getting sold for £5m to a bigger club. Must try harder.

Where did the Johnson stories start?

This.

 

Whoever is the flavour of the month at a smaller club is linked with us.

Martin Demichelis just got loaned out to Malaga (they can buy him for 3M€ after the season) but he's been kind of a off for the last 2 seasons anyway.

[lifetime fan]

Barca bought Affelay? Why? Hes good but not Barca quality.

 

Because they have a ridiculously small squad.

They need a centreback more than we do. They've got the worst defensive record in La Liga. Astute signing by Pellegrini.

[StevieH]

It would be a real boost if we could bring in 2 quality attacking players in January to give the place a lift.

 

A quality striker and wide player would make a big difference.

Liverpool table £8.5million bid for Dutch striker

Liverpool are waiting for a response from Utrecht after offering £8.5m for their prolific striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel.

According to reports in Holland, the Eredivisie side will decide whether to accept the offer over the weekend and give Liverpool an answer next week.

Van Wolfswinkel is one of the deadliest strikers on the continent having hit 11 goals in just 17 starts for 10th-place Utrecht this season.

And Liverpool were said to have been impressed by his performances against them in the Europa League, even though he failed to net as the pair drew 0-0 twice.

Dubbed the "new Van Basten" in his native Holland, Van Wolfswinkel, 21, has admirers in Germany and Italy, but Liverpool are the only side to have made a bid so far, according to sources.

[Trumo]

Not one mention of the broken collarbone he sustained in the match at Anfield against us, where he "failed to net".

[StevieH]

Hasn't Van Wolfswinkel broken his collarbone?

[Shreddy]

Kun Aguero is in liverpool....

 

Having a Christmas dinner with Maxi.

To be fair, he was meet with a quality and stubborn defensive showing from us. It's hard for a young kid to do well when the opposition are that deep.

Lets hope he doesnt stay and watch some of the games.

[FidelMurphy]

I seem to remember him being pencilled in for a return against Ajax on the 23rd Jan. Seems to have bags of potential and besides what could go wrong with signing an injured player?

[18-5]

Meh, recycled news innit.

 

Looks a bit light weight for the premier league tbh. Wilson just nudges him and he loses balance and falls badly. Imagine if he were up against Vidic, Shawcross or Samba, he would get hurt.

[dennis tooth]

Robert Huth?

 

Robert fucking Huth?!?

 

Well we do need someone to shoulder the burden up front with Torres...........

He'll sign. You heard it here first.

Liverpool are in talks with Inter Milan over young right back Davide Santon .

 

And according to itasportpress, after an initial €10 million bid was rejected by Inter, Liverpool have now offered to throw in Ryan Babel and Dirk Kuyt as part of the deal.

 

19-year-old Santon is a multi-skilled full-back, who can also play on both flanks or in central midfield.

 

He is tall and strong, while also possessing good pace and excellent technical ability. He can use either foot to cross, pass and shoot.

 

He has already won six caps for Italy and is deemed a hot prospect for the national team.

 

Santon, who has also been linked with Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea, is contracted to Inter Milan until 2014.

Just when it sounds a little bit plausable, it's turns into utter shite.
