and welcome

alright Dawson.....

If you would have asked me the beginning of last season I would have set get rid. I personally wanted a typical out and out winger to take people on.

But you can't argue with his goal tally last season so for me the lad deserves his place in the side.

Definately not Stu,

and Holly, don't worry about this lot, decoraters are in for most of these lads 8 days a week

2.1/2 line response and didnt use the word 'retard' once - course its not Stu.

ps I am not Stu

of course not, just post EXACTLY the same style, same attitude and have admitted to watching these forums but not that you used to be a member

Welcome back by the way

It's not Stu, he wouldn't have suggested Gerrard and Masher playing in a midfield two together, was always ranting about it

well sorry to pi.ss on your bonfire Owzat but I can reassure you I am not Stu.

That's funny, that's exactly what stu would say (and maybe even just did)

fair enough Owzat if you insist I'm Stu then so be it.

Hopefully in time you will change your mind.

By all means call me Kev......

Won't be around much longer meself I expect

Maybe not, but the posting style of lines rather than paragraphs, the way he talks to people as if he's been here a long time not five minutes and other signs do show why people would think he was

by **NANNY RED** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 7:11 pm

He must be a scouser Owz were dead friendly like that you know :laugh:

now add 10mill to that and you're talking the likes of Silva, Teves, Etoo and so on... funny how 18mill is nothing to some... yea whatever !

3. Evra, cole, clichy and Sagna... how much were they bought for ? where they all big players when bought by their current clubs ? name a fullback in world transfers history who cost similar or more money and was of similar quality to glen johnson ? the likes of Zambrotta, Srna, Rafinha, Sagna, Lahm Miguel... is Johnson better than any of the above ? would/did any of them cost that much ?

Some good points on the fullback front and it's hard to disagree, it's a lot of money, I liked the Russian RB Anyokov (or whatever his name is) and i'm sure he would have been available on the cheap cheap.

As for the middies, Sneider, Ben Arfa and Mancini are all decent shouts, the rest of them read a bit like a champ manager scout search and i must admit i haven't seen enough of them to have an opinion. I don't think Hleb would come (or be sold), I haven't seen anything of Navas, Capel, Cazorla, Di Maria or Fabiano (assuming you have?) and as for Arshavin (don't get me started!) I do like Silva.

Not sure E'to is an option, I'm not sure he'd come and play second fiddle to Torres, Tevez would have been nice but even if he wanted to come i don't think we would , could or should match the wage offer he gets from City.

Fabiano is Brazil's number 1 striker today.... DiMaria is the hottest young player in Argentina outside Messi and Aguero... bags of ability and only a matter of time before he moves to a big club (have seen him on international duty but havent seen him play for Benfica so no idea how hes doing there)... Capel, Navas and Cazorla iv seen enough of to know theyd be good buys... dont know if theyd want to leave spain but all 3 of them are good enough to play at the very top imo... Funny u skipped Mutus name, Maxis aswell.. both along with Robben would be my top picks... but anyways thats besides the point..

Mutu is an interesting shout, looked a cracking player for Chelsea but fizzled out after Christmas. I know he's repaired his career and been playing well the past few years. I don't know that he would be a great fit for us though? He's not the lead the line type of player who could come in for Torres and i'm guessing he'd be first reserve to Gerrard if he at LFC. Can he play the wide positions?

Again, I haven't seen enough of Maxi (is that Rodriguez?) but I know rafa is rumoured to be a fan.

by **Ace Ventura** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 7:14 pm

As if thats Stu, he would have kicked off by now on someone.

He did go on about Johnson being a top player a while ago though so will be happy if and when this is done.

Arbeloa looks like he's off.

Do you want to come back to Spain?
It's something that is always at the back of my mind. I'm fine at Liverpool but I'd like to come back because I didn't really experience La Liga at the top level. I'm sure I'll come back one day. Away from football, I'm missing everything that I have back home.

Your name appears on the list of possible signings at Real Madrid
It's always nice to be targeted by big sides, especially by this Real Madrid team that is being put together. They're trying really hard to build a great team. I've got one year left at Liverpool, but you never know what's going to happen.

¿Are you not thinking about renewing your contract at Liverpool?
It's up in the air. It's likely that I'll stay only for the next year. That said, if an offer comes in they'll have to look at it and see if it's best for them to sell me now. It's all in the hands of my agent. I'm focusing on the national team.

Also, this next one hints that we'd be forced to accept around €8m from Real because Arby's contract expires next summer.

He's only got one year left on his contract Nan we paid 3 million for him, thats good buisness, rumour has it they will want him to play CH at Madrid. He wont play second fiddle to Ramos.

Just nipped onto a Pompey forum to get an idea of their take on things, to be fair they are generally more worried about this takeover going through than anything else. most of them are gutted he's leaving, think the money was too good to turn down and are hoping he has a better time of it than Robbie Keane (amen to that!)

interesting to read this on the money side of things and I wonder what the minimum fee stipulated (if at all) might have been.

Quote:
What is so hard to understand about the Johnson deal?

It has been stated a million times that he signed a 4 year deal with the proviso that if a team in the champions league offer a certain amount of money, Pompey would let him go. Surely that was better than him not signing a new deal.

It has nothing to do with takeovers or managers. Only with Pompeys integrity & honouring their word. Diarra left under similar circumstances. What's the problem?

Shame no doubt, but players move on - always have.
