  2. Nope - Can't see it through the link either. Found it on the site and have taken a snip:
  3. Just in case you didn't go back and check, here's what you "missed out" on... This has also been "confirmed" by the equally reliable, Ivan Schwakoff... The wonderful world of football Twitter...
  4. He certainly could be considered - Aquilani only played for us for 1 season during his 3 years as a Liverpool player. 2 of those seasons were spent on loan in Italy where he managed to make 65 appearances in those 2 seasons - all comps. Before being shipped out on loan, he had managed to make 18 league appearances (26 in all comps) in his debut season, despite not being able to make his debut until late October and his league debut until November. In the 18 league appearances he made in his maiden season, he had 6 assists, which was just 1 behind a certain Mr. Gerrard for the season. (2009/10 assists list). The first few months of that season were all he really missed through injury, as I'm sure if I remember correctly, he arrived injured, despite passing his medical. I recall there being some back and forth between us and Roma about where/when he picked up his injury, but the deal was pushed through as all the financials had been agreed. He was a better player than what we seen of him in a Liverpool shirt, though he was certainly less suited to Premier League football than that played in Serie A. The main reason why I have Naby on my list ahead of Aquilani is down to the fact that we paid a premium above & beyond his release clause to get Naby's signature, as well as then having to wait a full season before he actually joined. I happen to like Naby as a player - I think he can be a very good player. However, the actual transfer is amongst the worst in the club's long history. The delay, fee & premium are not Naby's fault of course, but all the expectancy that as yet has not nearly been fulfilled means he makes my list.
  5. Here are my top 10 worst signings in chronological order in the Premier League era: Paul Stewart The 5th most expensive Premier League signing in 1992 - around £700k more expensive than Cantona. Would have thought he would have been on a fairly decent wage at that time too, given his previous reputation at City & Spurs. Julian Dicks Brought in to add physicality to our side - the average weight of our squad certainly increased with "The Terminator's" addition. Had a hell of a left foot on him to be fair, but should never have been considered Liverpool quality. Paul Ince "The Guv'nor"... The most expensive signing we happened to make in the summer of 1997. He certainly would have been amongst our top earners at the time, if not the top earner, wages wise. Never got close to his form for that lot after joining us from Inter and just came across as a bit of an arrogant twat. El Hadji Diouf Not much to say about this absolute bellend that hasn't already been said. I'm sure privately, Houllier would have looked back at his signing as his biggest mistake during his time with us, although I don't recall Ged ever saying much negative about him, either during or after his spell in charge. Joe Cole No fee paid, but you can bet his signing on bonus and wages were right up there. Disastrous start to his spell with us with the red card on his league debut and never recovered from then on. Obviously had plenty of technical ability and should have been among our better signings in the Premier League era, but it didn't work for us, as he stunk the place out most games. Paul Konchesky See Julian Dicks... Almost feel sorry for him looking back on things. A signing that for me, summed up the Roy Hodgson era like no other. Andy Carroll This might be a little harsh on the big daft Geordie, but the fee paid at the time... Ouch! Don't like criticising Carroll as he pretty much always put a shift in. In fact, one of my biggest gripes about Andy's time with us was that he never spent enough time in the opposition penalty area. He always seemed to track back and do more work defensively rather than being the focal point to cause defenders issues with his power and aerial prowess that I suspect Kenny had hoped he could be when he signed him. Mario Balotelli Erm... Yeah. Arguably the laziest player ever to pull on a Liverpool shirt. Plenty of ability, just no desire in the lad whatsoever. Christian Benteke A monster against us, a mouse for us... Caused us so many issues in the years prior to us signing him. Very rarely did we see him be the striker that he really ought to have been. He had good pace, was strong on the ball and was so good in the air, before Rodgers got his hands on him anyway. Again, don't like to be too critical of him as the fee we paid was certainly not his fault, but at the time of signing, only Andy Carroll had cost us more - He's now only our 11th most expensive signing ever. Naby Keita Another player who will certainly divide opinion. The fee, the premium, the time we had to wait for him to actually join - just built up the expectations of the majority of fans. Turned out to be pretty underwhelming in the end. (So far anyway). Again, a talented player who has shown flashes of what he can do, but he hasn't been consistent enough when he's been fit, which in itself is probably the biggest complaint about the lad since he joined after playing almost 2 full seasons without injury for Leipzig prior to joining. (58 league appearances for Leipzig in 2 seasons - 68 league appearances in 3 and a half seasons for us).
  6. Mola are showing the second leg of the tie on Tuesday - Kick-off at 18:00. They will be showing all 5 of the second legs for the African World Cup qualifiers.
  7. It's being shown on Mola.tv - Available on Android and iOS, as well as through a web player. Free to signup, just need an email address for verification, etc... It's a decent little service. They show live games from the top flight in Belgium & Holland, and they also show some Serie B games too
  8. You didn't. Scotland will now play a friendly in Austria on Tuesday as Wales have progressed to the playoff final. I believe that the intention all along was for Scotland or Ukraine to play the losing side of Wales vs. Austria. Obviously, the Scotland vs. Ukraine semi has been postponed until the summer and Poland were given a walkover against Russia, so the SFA and the Polish FA decided to last night's friendly in place of the respective playoff games.

  17. Looking at the Premier League site, Curtis has another year as an under-21, should we want. For this season: Rules on U21 players Under-21 players are eligible over and above the limit of 25 players per squad. For the 2021/22 campaign, Under-21 players will have been born on or after 1 January 2000. Curtis was born 30/01/2001, so unless the rules are changed, he should be eligible as under-21 next season too.
