Does anybody know something about this?

btw, if he pulls that off: RAFA FOR LIFE

I thought Kuyt was shit-hot towards the end of last season. After slagging him off for months, I really warmed to him. I thought he had a good Euro 08 too. He's just not got out of the blocks to quickly this season though, but then again, who has?

As for Riera, I've not seen him play so I can't comment. From what I've heard, he's not too good. I'd of rather have seen us sign Downing for a bit more cash.

Perfect signing - god help us if this is Rafas answer to the left .

no pace? - he's no torres but he's no slouch either
no trickery? - we all know about youtube but his clips show he has a trick or two
no guile? - as above
can't beat defenders? - as above

he's not the answer but he's a better fit than anything we have got. he'll give us genuine width and will allow babel and benayoun to be used where they are more effective - thus improving the shape and balance of the team as a whole.

i wish people would stop carping and moaning and slagging the guy before he's even kicked a ball for us. this has to be the most miserable lfc forum in existence. god help the guy if he doesn't turn in man of the match performances in his first 5 games.

Fu.cking right on me brother from another mother .

Heres what we have spent an re-couped Bigus Mickus.

Yeah I thought it was around that Lynds. The signing of barry then for 18 million ish would have taken our spending up to around the 45 million mark. We may not quite be outspending everybody, but I think it's fair to say the manager is being pretty well backed in the market.

Sell to buy , and not the players you choose ,but the players we choose . Great backing that.

I think its clear that he is Rafa's second or third choice for the left is it not ?

not sure mate - his name has been menti9oned all summer - should of saved 10 mil on not buying keane and getting someone like pavluychenko and then spent the 10 mil saved on getting some like silva.

your begining to get right up my bugle now with your ridiculous comments.

I take it you dont like Keane either then?

oh and small problem signing Silva...

HE DOESNT WANT TO FKING COME TO ENGLAND YOU MORON!

    

PMSL

Right on lee

These Mofo's ain't got a clue give the guy a chance to prove his worth.

Love it if you all went into new job and as you walked in job every one shouted FOOK OF YOU FOOKING SH>IT !

No one has said he is - just saying they dont think he is good enough to improve us or take us to another level and think he is another second choice along the lines of pennant and nothing wrong with people showing their disapproval of that . yeah he will be given a chance just  like everyone else does but a lot of people dont hold out much hope for him . one year we get people like torres and babel and masher the next we get second choices like reira who has already shown for city that he isnt good enough - more than happy for him to prove me wrong but dont think he will .

Yeah they really backed him well Mick!
Parry took 90% of the transfer window Fu*king about in the Barry deal(our number one target) when the manager thought everything was going well,then the Yanks pull out and refuse to put the cash up because it was in their eyes he was too dear.It was known all along how much Villa wanted so why let it drag on all summer and pull out so late leaving hardly any time to get players in?
If thats backing then we are fu'cked every season Parry and the pensioners remain at LFC!

we bought players for about 40mill and only sold for about 20mill or less so far so id say they backed him up pretty well. Not sure but i think we spent more than any other premierleague club so far this season except maybe Spurs.
As for the whole Barry for 18mill joke then im glad someone stepped in and did what had to be done.
