    Two points: i. With Carragher and Agger in central defence we’ve got absolutely zero aerial authority and we’ll constantly get ripped in the Prem with this pairing. ii. Kuyt is still absolutely fucking rank.

    Yeah, ofcourse; it's only got Bascombe's name on it, doesn't mean he wrote it. :D That excuse is worse than the yeah-but-things-change-quickly ruse to justify churning out any old bollocks. And it invalidates any agrument against any piece written by any journalist: ah yeah, it might seem like he's always anti-Liverpool that fella, and he's always having a go, but dya know what? It wasn't really him - there are any number of sub-editors in between, putting their mark on it, would anybody really know who actually wrote it? :dunno: :lol:

    Didn't Bascombe say rafa was a goner no matter what? When did he get the boot then, I think I missed it. The press were all over the story before the Sunday came around with Bascombe and his Johnny-come-lately nonsense. Didn't he have Mourhino down as a 'shock target' to replace Rafa, and Martin Oneil? :lol::lol:

    Do you agree with Bascombe’s idea that every Premiership Manager outside Stamford Bridge would envy our transfer kitty? If so, wouldn’t it then be logical to conclude that the owners are backing Rafa to the hilt? Do you believe the owners are backing Rafa to the hilt?

    Ofcourse he wont............. "That said, the positivity which led him to remark in the summer of 2004, having seen his Valencia side beat Real Madrid and Barcelona to the La Liga title, that ‘money isn’t everything’ has long gone. It’s been replaced by regular observations of the spending differentials between Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United. With the combined cost of Robbie Keane, Fernando Torres, Ryan Babel and Dirk Kuyt at £62m — regardless if much of that was courtesy of I-owe-you cheques — even on-going complaints about lack of team investment sound unfair."

    Code: Don't you dare force my bezzie mate Carra out to right back, or I'll tear you a new one every week in this 'newspaper'. Journalistic integrity, hey :D

    Then basically he’s acting as a conduit through which anybody that throws him a bone can spread their propaganda. Talk about a back-handed compliment. :lol::lol:

    Seems to me like Bascombe is saying this is a good thing: "Benitez originally said Xabi Alonso would be sold and Barry recruited at a profit. But as the summer progressed, it became clear that would not happen and if the deal had gone through, Alonso would have gone for nothing like the £25m Benitez had hoped for. In fact, Liverpool would have made a huge loss. Strategy If such a strategy was applied at every football club, it’s the quickest way towards bankruptcy, especially as Alonso is one of Liverpool’s most popular assets inside and outside the dressing room. At every club, a line has to be drawn. Even Bill Shankly was sometimes told to think again when he drew up a list of targets. "

    I’d like to know exactly when Alonso was supposed to be in secret talks with Real Madrid and Barcelona, seeing as he only signed a new and improved contract last summer. Why would Rafa claim that he (Alonso) would be looking to move on only a short time later? Complete bollocks from Bascombe, as usual. Let's just face the facts: Bascombe's sole remit is to fill the pages of the NOTW with sensationalist claptrap that panders to the lowest common denominator. The tool must wear a gas mask to protect himself from the ‘ashen stench of decay’ when wondering the corridors of Anfield. :lol:

    I hope your procrastination is not a tacit admission that there is not, in fact, a shred of exclusive info in that article, because I will be most displeased.
  11. RedPower
    Have you made any progress on establishing which elements of the article are exclusive then?
  12. RedPower
    What's exclusive about it? Rafa wants to sell. Alonso doesn't want to go. Arsenal have been linked. All in the public domain. Don't tell me, the inner machinations of the boardroom is the exclusive angle? Yeah, right. :D
  13. RedPower
    That ‘article’ would be at home in any bollocks tabloid rag; it’s even got the mandatory "exclusive" label, in BLOCK CAPITALS for added gravity. :D
  14. RedPower
    :no That's just insane; how about playing Kuyt as the 'Kuyt on the left' and keeping hold of the cash until somebody better and suited to the role of playing as an attacking left sided player comes along? We should be getting rid of the 'Kuyts' not adding to them, and certainly not paying way over 15mil for the privilege.
  15. RedPower
    Nice sentiment, but we'd be seriously limiting ourselves in the transfer market if we require all potential targets to be whiter than white. Plus it would also put the kybosh on ourselves from doing slightly immoral things like tapping up players - surely no player bound by a personal code of high moral ethics and probity would entertain the idea of talking to a suitor behind their employer's back. It's a jungle out there man, and we've got to do what we've got to do - within reason ofcourse.
  16. RedPower
    I just don't see Barry having that much of an impact; even a straight 12-15mill with no add-ons or makewights would be pushing it, in my book.
  17. RedPower
    If (big, big if) this Mail story is true, we could be in a position to get royally screwed by potential buyers of our players who know we're desperate for the cash. Fucking hell though, £19 mil for Barry. Rafa's really putting his head on the block with this one.
  18. RedPower
    Or, fingers crossed, it's 'job done' - the bonus is in the bag and he can fuck off somewhere else.
  19. RedPower
    Graham Poll, G14, and hopefully Hazel Blears will be a new entry at #1.
  20. RedPower
    I hope it's back up if the Kirkby scheme doesn't get called it - it should be quite entertaining.
  21. RedPower
    Ignore bollocks from KEIOC about a groundshare; it’s just sheer desperation on their part – they would all prostitute their own mothers on Shiel Road if in meant Everton ‘staying in the City’. Everton can barely afford the £78mil they’re looking at now for Kirkby – they are desperate for it not to get called in because the public inquiry will delay the project such that inflation will well and truly put the whole scheme out of their reach. Also, don’t believe all this bollocks about how everything would be paid for with NWDA grants and Euro money – it’s just ‘plausible’ bollocks trotted out to convince sceptics about how ‘deliverable’ the scheme would be.
  22. RedPower
    The dog must have eaten the cunt's 'homework'.
  23. RedPower
    Well that's a load of bollocks for a start.
  24. RedPower
    I think the much improved TV contracts were announced after Hicks & Gillett had concluded the deal, so that would increase the value of the Club - by exactly how much I've no idea. There is ofcourse the debt that has been loaded up, and a judgement to be made about it's affect on the value. Didn't Hicks & Gillett pay £500 per share more than the DIC offer? So at around 35,000 x £500 = £17.5 mil, in relative terms I wouldn't say that was all that much more.

    That interview with Melia was replayed on John Keith's show on City Talk after today's game. I didn't hear it myself but I was told that Melia said he's a good friend of Hicks' brother.
