Thats what Stevie will be doing the next two weeks being at Melwood welcoming our new players

players? silva, negredo, parker and sniejder?

I really hope so.

Parker might not be a bad buy as long as he can stay fit, he only moved on from Chavski becoz of injury. It seems Rafa likes former Chavski players what with Johnson and now Parker.

I heard this as well,could not wait to get on here to see whats been said....Im surprised like!
but if Rafa reckons he'll do..ok by me!

Dont be fekin sof now hes , not good enough for us imo

An i wont be trusting Rafa no more if he brings him here ,

, you just don't like cos he was from charlton , if he comes for 3 to 4 million he can provide quality cover for us

I wou;dnt care if he was from Barcelona hes not good enough

For 4 million or 5 million he could be a good squad player , no ones saying he'd take over alonso and if rafa does make him play that role well he might have bigger plans for that money or he feels he can get the best out of scott again

Parker ?? one question - why would we sign him ? As a replacement for Xabi ? not good enough and a big step backwards ? As back up ? why when we already have Lucas (who Rafa rates and trusts) , Spearing who has just got a new contract plus Plessis who Rafa rates as well - so why would we get Parker ? If its as a direct replacement for Xabi i will be extremely disappointed - loosing a world class midfielder (thats if he goes of course) and replacing him with a decent midfielder ?!? step backwards

I agree with the majority on here that Parker would be a very useful addition to the squad. I would see him more as a Mascha replacement than a Xabi replacement though. If we are able to pick him up for £3m-£4m then why not.

Because it would be 3-4 mil wasted on a player we dont need nor will improve our first 11 and im sure i recall the reason he left newcastle was because he wanted to be back in london and not up north ?!?

by **ElNino9** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 7:48 pm

3-4m would not really be a mistake if he turned out to be :censored:

.

by **GYBS** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 7:51 pm

what would it be then ?

Why waste 3-4 mil (which i dont even think parker would go for ) plus couple of million in wages on a player who wouldnt improve us at all

You never know, i thought Benayoun was gonna be :censored:

but he is a handy little fella.

by **GYBS** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 8:02 pm

And after seeing the guy play in the prem over the last number of years i can see that he wont improve our first 11 and would be a step backwards and cant understand why Rafa would be interested in him as a back up when we have plenty of youngsters learning and developing instead

p.s. did you pick up my AK - 47 after i dropped it a couple of weeks ago

I've been talking with a football agent I know and who knows english football better than me and he has said to me "Pay attention to that lad".

Seems interesting.

by **GYBS** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 8:10 pm

which lad sabre ? parker ? not really a lad anymore thou

by **LFC2007** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 8:35 pm

£3-4m for Parker is fantastic value, if true (and I doubt). Steady, solid, prem-proven, the right age and a good pro, it's not as if he'd have to replace Alonso or Masch, ideally he'd serve as cover for them.

A better way of assessing him would be to first name all of these players of supposed better value.

by **GYBS** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 8:38 pm

but doesnt that undermine the youngsters that we need to bring through and develop - players like lucas and spearing and plessis - when would they play ?

by **LFC2007** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 8:51 pm

Lucas could remain as cover if need be. The other two simply aren't good enough at this level in my view.
