Williams the shithouse getting roughed up by Huddlestone

Perhaps the only professional footballer to shoot at the stand not the goal.

Haha, on Guardian...

Arsenal are apparantly close to signing Morata (Real Madrid) on loan in January.

Annoying as Morata is an awesome talent.

[fowler9]

see Benayoun has joined QPR

 

really works out for all our players who join Chelsea doesn't it?

This is the move he should've made instead of joining Chelsea. I guess he was perfectly happy to sit on his arse and collect a fat pay packet for doing fuck all for three years.

They're a good team, let's be honest. They've got a bit of everything and will probably run us very close for a top 4 place. I don't see them falling away unless they get an injury to Lukaku or one of the centre halves. They're lucky that they haven't had too many injuries so far because they don't have much depth in their squad. The first 11 is very good though.

Maybe could do with reinforcements at the back and sub keeper but their squad is not too bad in fairness. A couple of these are injured but without their 1st 11 at the Emirates they would be able to field something like this:

 

hibbert heitinga alcaraz baines

gibson osman

deulofeu

kone jelavic naismith

 

They'll struggle to get the same quality of loan player next season though. Top 4 is vital for them to be replaced

"They'll struggle to get the same quality of loan player next season though. Top 4 is vital for them to be replaced"

 

don't agree mate, they now have Martinez as manager, not some yard dog in charge. If they treat Deulfeo and Lukaku well, then word will get around that it is a good place to send players as they get game time, playing football the right way. Unlike sadly us, we have Moses and that guy from Valencia, who sit on the bench.

 

Right now, we should be looking at good players who aint getting game time - who want to go to the world cup, get them on loan. Lazy thinking but ask Chelsea for Torres on loan, sure it wont happen but thats the way we should be thinking. We have Enrique, Gerrard, Henderson and Sturridge out for Dec/Jan. we must act quickly.

Moses

Cissokho

Sahin

 

If our loanees were any fucking good they'd get played more often.

[John McClane]

That is very true, we have loaned pisspoor.

We should be looking at teams like Real Madrid & PSG. These teams have large squads, can we loan a player or 3?

We have Suarez

The top teams want Suarez.

It would be in their benefit to get on side with LFC.

Then we tell them to fuck off when they ask about Luis in the summer.

One of those "pisspoor" loans you're talking about did in fact come from Real Madrid, in case you've forgotten.

The have the option of Deufeo for another year anyway.

So lazy thinking - sure not to happen? Mkay.

[John McClane]

ok, not Torres, but Mata, Defoe?

That kind of player that doesn't feature as much as they'd like, and as I said, doesnt want to miss the World Cup.

[TheHowieLama]

Mata? On loan?

[Tony Moanero]

ok, not Torres, but Mata, Defoe?

That kind of player that doesn't feature as much as they'd like, and as I said, doesnt want to miss the World Cup.

Why would Chelsea and Tottenham loan us players that are extremely likely to really improve us?

[TheHowieLama]

To be fair to him, they are all really good examples of lazy thinking that is sure not to work.

[John McClane]

I dont know what players are sitting on benches of other leagues, just using players in the PL as examples.

 

but yeah, you are probably right, close the door on a discussion just because you dont agree?

 

Everton have loaned 3 players that have improved them, media are talking about top4.

Why the hell can't we.

[RazorBack]

Why would Chelsea and Tottenham loan us players that are extremely likely to really improve us?

 

Chelsea are known for their "weird" decision making so it can't really hurt, if it pisses them off a bit as well.. Interesting players from other top clubs and are not getting a look are Song, Shaquiri, Morata, Jese, Montoya, etc.

 

PS What do you guys think of Micah Richards? Besides the fatc that he's made of glass..

[TheHowieLama]

Well Luiz can't get a game - he could play in midfield. Is that lazy and unrealistic enough?

[John McClane]

Was Cole or Cantona joining united unrealistic? Very much so.

Torres joining Chelsea was a bit of a bitch slap but then the Sturridge signing eases that.

Players move around, if Defoe has any ambition of going to Brazil he will leave in Janaury and to a PL side. Would Tottenham deal with us, do they see us as a threat or Defoe doing well for us vs their rivals. Mata and Torres the same. Dzeko at City. There are players out there that we can loan and improve us overnight. Barry has been great at Everton, Lukaku scare all defenders and Martinez has been smart in his use of the barca lad.

 

Why are you so against the idea of loaning players in January?

[TheHowieLama]

Not against it at all. I am also not against the idea of a threesome with Sofia Vergara and Halle Berry.

If there was a remote possibility we could loan Mata or Dzeko then every single Liverpool fan would be all for it. (Apart from the obvious few that moan about EVERYTHING)

 

The problem is, there isn't a remote possibility.

[John McClane]

Fair enough, my original point was we should be looking to loan players from top teams from other leagues who are pushing for a WC place.

I used PL players as examples which in hindsight wasn't the best way.

[Batigol]

Any out and out forward we sign will be mainly a bench player.  So you can forget Defoe or Dzeko swapping one bench for another.
