60 pages and we seem as far away from signing Barry now as we did when we started

1. Arsenal buy him
2. He hands in a transfer request, and in doing so, agrees to waive his pay-off, thus getting the deal done (I feel he should do this anyway, as any player who wants to move on should not be entitled to a loyalty payment from the club they want to leave).

I quite like MON. He's a bit mad at times, but he's a serious, intelligent football man who only wants the best for his club. He should rightly be fighting his corner to keep hold of his captain and one of his better players. I think the player will move on though, but to my eyes MON is playing this as he should.

£15M plus Finnan and the deal will be done. Villa can say they got their £18M, valuing Finnan at £3M; while we can say we got our man, all the while knowing that while Finnan has been a good servant, he is now behind Arbeloa and Degen in the pecking order.

i say get it over and done with it already... tell them 15 + Finnan is our final offer... or just declare we aren't interested anymore... this drawn out saga will only hurt our pre-season preparations... now get your :censored:

moving Parry...

According to SSN, MON said he won't sell Barry until this thread gets to 100 pages.

As for Carson, last I heard one of the promoted sides (Stoke I think) have been linked with a £4m move for him I believe, so £1m more than Diego cost us and Carson's younger

Stoke look favourites to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Scott Carson for £4m. (Sunday Mirror)

Well if O'neil does not cough up 4 million for Carson after he raved about him last year he is a bitter w@nker

As I understand it, Benitez wanted 10 million from Villa for Carson as that was the agreement prior to the loan deal between the clubs. Since O'Neill decided against that (wisely imo), I reckon Benitez would accept a bid of about half that from another club, but I don't think he'd accept a lesser bid from Villa as they have backed out of the previous agreement.

That's Carson gone to Stoke - from bbc sport:

Stoke City have agreed a fee of around £4m with Liverpool for England international goalkeeper Scott Carson, BBC Radio Stoke understands.

Carson was at the Britannia Stadium on Monday to open negotiations over personal terms.

The 22-year-old joined Liverpool from Leeds for £750,000 in 2005, but spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, making 35 Premier League appearances.

Carson, who has two caps for England, would become Stoke's record signing.

The proposed £4m fee marks a major reduction in the player's asking price, with Liverpool previously holding out for around £10m.

606: DEBATE
Carson would be a very good signing

mancitizens
However, Carson was critical of his original price tag, claiming it could price him out of a move.

Aston Villa had been favourites to sign Carson on a permanent basis but manager Martin O'Neill's interest appeared to cool with Tottenham keeper Paul Robinson emerging as a more likely target for the Villans.

Liverpool, who have already sold Peter Crouch to Portsmouth this summer, are keen to free up transfer funds as they look to finalise a deal for Villa captain Gareth Barry and continue to chase Spurs striker Robbie Keane.

Stoke, meanwhile, will hope that Carson follows midfielder Rudolph Austin into the club, the 22-year-old midfielder signing in a £1m deal from Jamaican side Portmore United.

Wouldn't be hard. All I've got to do is call the game 'soccer' and we're guaranteed 30 more pages of complaining

If you're a WUM, then you're barking up the wrong tree mate. This is a Liverpool forum where people care about Liverpool FC above all else. Not many fans carry the same passion for England, especially an under 19 team with no Liverpool players in the squad. And besides which, it's got nothing to do with fucking Gareth Barry, so Fuck off!!!

Actually I meant the Brazilian goofy one - Ronny. Man City are "ahead" in the race to sign him - what a load of cack!
