Summer 2011

[Anubis]

If Kenny had wanted to keep Meireles then he would have. The fact we didn't tells its own story.

[Gav]

Neither will the club. Some people on here need to stop with this victim attitude, we clearly saw Raul as surplus to requirements. It's not that the chavs have fucked us over at all.

 

If we really wanted to keep him the fee wouldn't have been £12m.

 

Agreed ,but we shouldn't be strengthening our rivals and no matter what your opinion on meireles,we have just strengthened those cunts

 

Feel to me like we just threw away a two goal lead in the injury time

[The Dude Abides]

hmmm, disappointing that. We look rather weak at CM now. We're an injury away from having to rely on Spearing.

[dirk grout]

Stupid that we continue to let our best players go to our rivals -- and for only £12mill!!

 

This just shouldn't happen.

 

Stupid,stupid,stupid.

 

Our best players? We've sold a sub for £15m. He was never gonna be first choice this season.

[Lurtz]

He could hardly get in the side even with Gerrard injured. He can get fucked, we won't miss him.

[fowler9]

not complaining with 12mil, he isnt in our best XI he's about 29 and we paid less for him a year ago and he wants to go (he wont get in their team either) so fuck him, just ask Torres and Yossi how the move worked out for them

[Beantown Red]

Liverpool Football Club have tonight confirmed they have cancelled the registration of Philipp Degen by mutual consent.

 

The Swiss defender moved to Anfield from Borussia Dortmund in 2008 and made 13 first-team appearances.

[Torvald Utne]

good riddance, just taking up room on the wage bill. Chelsea fans can watch him mince around the field hiding from the ball from now on.

[Red Phoenix]

hmmm, disappointing that. We look rather weak at CM now. We're an injury away from having to rely on Spearing.

 

Not that bothered really, think Spearing is a good player and we also have Jonjo. Maybe they'll both get time this season to progress, which shouldn't be a bad thing at all.

[clone number 3]

Not bothered about Meireles going really, more concerned with the fact we haven't really replaced him.

On the positive it must mean any rumours about Gerrard being fucked are bollocks as there's no way we'd let him go otherwise!

 

All in all a great window.

[fowler9]

hmmm, disappointing that. We look rather weak at CM now. We're an injury away from having to rely on Spearing.

 

think thats quite simply bollocks, weak at centre mid?

 

we have Stevie, Adam, Lucas, Henderson, Shelvey and Spearing, we relied on Spearing for a lot of february onwards, he never let us down, would've been nice to keep Meireles but this is our best transfer window for a long long time

[dirk grout]

hmmm, disappointing that. We look rather weak at CM now. We're an injury away from having to rely on Spearing.

 

Lucas, Adam, gerrard and Henderson. Shelvey and spearing are our 5th and 6th choice centre mids. Surely it will take 3 injuries for spearing to be called upon?

[Newport]

Told you we should have kept Aquilani. Raul leaving was quite obvious.

 

Best thing about this is that I can go fully back to hating Portugese footballers again. Which will make Norway and Denmark knocking them out of the Euro 2012 qualification a bliss.

Best bit of news.

Lot of people didn't want to see RM leave. But Dalglish did not fancy him. Didn't fit the system. Goes missing when gets tough. Good dealing

[INTORRESTING]

degen gone too, an incredible window slightly tainted by Raul but it was very nearly perfect.

 

The work put in to get rid of who we didnt want to keep has been incredible.

 

Need to have a look at the squad again now as what a change.

[YNWAViking]

Our best players? We've sold a sub for £15m. He was never gonna be first choice this season.

 

We let Torres go to them -- now Meireles.

 

He's (was) one of our best midfielders. Deffo better than Speo, Maxi, Kuyt and Shelvey.

 

In addition he had qualities that we lack; creativity & ability to both pass, cross and shoot a ball.

 

Also it seems people forget that players gets injured, and that we need depth to keep up. What if Adam, Gerrard and/or Hendo gets injured? Which good, creative central midfielders do we have as backup for them? Speo? Come on.

 

Also I hear we're only getting £10-12mill for him.

 

Shit deal.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

We look a better side with Raul playing, more fluid in attack, but he wanted to go, we got a decent fee, and that's that. Onwards and upwards towards the golden sky.

[Antynwa]

Oh boo fucking hoo

 

Fucking hell he didn't want to be here

[Coro]

We look rather weak at CM now.

 

Eh?

 

Adam, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Shelvey, Coady, Spearing.

 

He was surplus, we've paid 13m plus add ons for a younger player in Henderson and recouped most of it.

 

That one finger salute from Meireles looks even more cuntish now, doesn't it.

[The Dude Abides]

Gerrard(Injured), Henderson(unproven,especially at centre-mid), Shelvey(really?) and Spearing(i just think he's extremely average)

 

Not ideal for me. Here's to Gerrard getting properly fit again, and Lucas and Adam can have injury free seasons.

[The Dude Abides]

Oh boo fucking hoo

 

Fucking hell he didn't want to be here

 

More to do with being on less than half of what Joe Cole is earning.

Tony knows

[J-V]

Wow with the exception of Jones we've managed to get rid of the shite one way or another. Great news.

Not sure if you realise that he is a central midfielder. A worse central midfielder than lucas, adam, henderson and gerrard. In other words, our fifth best central midfielder. The list you use to to prove that he is one of our 'best midfielders' consists of a striker and 2 youth players. I'll give you maxi maybe but if someone offered us £12- £15m for him i would have sold him as well.
