With so many injured coming back, Rafa prob feels we have enough.

Although i'm not really benitez's biggest fan.....he does seem to be going in the right direction of "buying quality" instead of "quantity" this season. Yeah he bought that greek dinosaur who makes hyppia look like usain bolt. But 2 out of 3...isn't a bad start.

If benitez continues buying quality players (although aquaman is injured and all...i can make a prediction now that he will make a bigger impact than dossena, lucas, ngog), the team will deffo improve.

If he is gonna stay here for 4 more years...then hope he continues this trend. We already have a $hitload of average players........so quality is the way to go. And i think Benitez is going quality too..

Johnson, Aquilani & even Kyrgiakos all look like decent quality, just keep that trend going & things will be better in the long run.

"Liverpool lining up January move for Ruud van Nistelrooy - Exclusive"

If it's a loan move would be a better option than Voronin

Dont laugh, as much as I like Robbie Keane, even I thought the reports of £20 m for him were daft and thought it unlikely, and was miffed when we paid that much for him. As we all know, the joke continued.

Like I said, dont laugh, be VERY wary.

I think that this deal could only work out if we don't make it to the knock outs.

Here is my new january wish list:

1. Sell Dossena, Sell Babel, Sell Lucas (that should get us... £14 Million or so?)

2. Get either Javi Martinez from Athletico Madrid (would cost around £10 Million) or get Koman (would cost around £5 Million)

3. Loan Van Nistelrooy if possible. If not then try and buy Lavezzi who would probably cost 6-10 Million.

And then I would be a happy camper :laugh:

This cack result last night is going to make it significantly more difficult to attract players to LFC in January....That's assuming to start with that a prospective seller will settle for a couple of crateloads of never-to-be-used-again beachballs in exchange !!

The question is whether City would be stupid enough to sell him to CL spot rivals and if Barca come in for him. In my opinion he is the only top player you have any chance of affording.

OK......

So we spent 32.5M to bring Robinho to City a little over a year ago. Despite his niggling injuries he was world class last year and scored 14 goals from the left wing. Not even his natural position. Stick a fully fit Robinho behind the striker and he'd be unstopable.

IF (and it's a very big IF) we ever considered selling our prize asset it would only be to a foreign club. Selling to a direct premier league rival....Well you all know it's :censored:

so i won't even bother to go there. Plus we would only sell him for a profit on what we payed for him and Liverpool are skint let alone in the market for a 40M brazilian. It's laughable.

As for those of you that say you wouldn't want him at Anfield. That's even more laughable. He'd stroll into your team. Only Gerrard and Torres are at Robinhos level. Sure he has a massive ego. But everybody in the City dressing room loves him. So does Hughesy. He always has a smile on his face. He says he loves it at City. I for one believe him. You can't blame a player if the media want to write bollox about you every 10 mins.

Hatem Ben Arfa set to leave Marseille after altercation with Didier Deschamps

Enigmatic young attacker Hatem Ben Arfa is set to leave Olympique de Marseille after a bust-up with coach Didier Deschamps on Tuesday.

Europe 1 reported that the Olympique Lyonnais youth product aimed angry words at the former Juventus boss, accusing him of “breaking his balls”.

Signed from Lyon for the princely sum of €12 million in the summer of 2008, Ben Arfa has failed to live up to expectations in the port city, only briefly producing flashes of the brilliance he is capable of.

Under Eric Gerets, he was frequently given an opportunity to shine, but Deschamps’ reign has brought with it limited first team chances – a situation that is clearly frustrating the 22-year-old France international.

“I could help, I can help, but it is he who holds the key,” Deschamps explained to L’Equipe.

“I know that at any moment he can eliminate four opponents and make a decisive action, but football is not just about that. There are also requirements with and without the ball, regularity and repetition. He has talent but he expresses it sparingly.”

I would take Ben Arfa anyday, class player.. can play on the wings or as a striker.

if Rafa is still the manager he will only be given a small amount of money, it will be what he did not spend in the last window, 16mil, but they might even cut that.

if its a new manager you might be looking at around 40 to 50 mil tp spend.

i dont get much info on the take over stuff now but the last i heard Hicks was setting to pump some money into the club along with a 3rd party.
after i heard that my mate left ml for city bank, so i only get small bits of info from other friends there, just before the press gets hold of it.
