Very shrewd point. This is a signing aimed at getting the best out of Gerrard.

Yep.

If Alonso stays I can see Lucas going on loan. There was rumours that Inter were interested in January.

The more expensive the better, surely?

Strange that Carson wasn't part of any deal. I don't think O'Neil rates him anymore and we'll have to try and sell him to someone else. Why did he have to make that fuck up againast Croatia, his stock was huge then.

Excellent.

Well in Jamie. But I'm sure some self righteous type will bring up Gary Neviile...

Reina Deggen Carra Agger Taylor Bentley Cattermole Barry Downing Gerrard Torres

Stuey Downing will sort that out.

Add Matty Taylor to that.

Now for Bentley...

Must be true then eh.

Christ.

You'd think this was the only signing we we're going to make. I'm sure the rest will be made up of exotic sounding foreigners who we've never seen play.

Because they're mostly kids with no real understanding of football who just want the next big glamour signing from abroad.

There's a direct corelation between winning the league and paying the most wages. We are currently fourth in the highest wage bill. Anyone who says money isn't an issue is deluding themselves. Rafa has done an amazing job on limited resources.

Says you stuck in your football manager dreamworld.

Why would we sign someone who has played in central midfield for the past 3 seasons and play him at left back?

Thankfully Barry isn't then, at least with people who know the game.

Excellent news.

Since when? I wouldn't hesitate to give him credit if he deserved it, but he's been shocking for a while now. Even after his so called MOTM performances recently, I just couldn't see it. It'll take more than a few nice, safe passes to convince me he's the right type of player we need in that positon to put in a stronger title challenge. We need pace, power and goals from all over the pitch, especially from midfield, and he just doesn't have any of those attributes. If he's going to play Masch's role, fine, but we don't need both, IMO.

Unreal.

Yeah, he's shit that Hargreaves. Kinel.

Pity. Horrible club Rangers, followed, in the main, by some of the scummiest fans in football. They and Chelsea in two European finals, what a nightmare.

Oh FFS!
