If the Zenden stories true then good, we need a player like him. We have Harry not so cool & even though Riise did a good, no wonderful job last season we need a more natural winger who beats players & can cross al la Digger Barnes. The one that worries me is the Stellios thread. He's not a bad player but he's also not a Liverpool player, not a natural footballer & a bit of a hatchet man to boot, hehe. This coupled with the fact he's the wrong side of thirty, how can he be a signing for the European champions??? We should be going after players like Jenas, Parker & Zenden. Players that excite but can play more often than one in ten. Also wheres the money. We won the Champ league got 20million from that & we had about 15million to spend anyhoo. We can buy players & yet go looking for bargins.

Do u know what surprises me most of all, Zenden is only 28, we are getting a player who is comfortable in the prem at the top level, on a free and possibly at the peak of his game, he could just turn out to be a little star, im defo up for him coming

Remember around 9 players left on a free so they have to be replaced first. I can only assume RB is planning a complete new look squad for next season. Its not all about spending. Man U spent mega bucks last season and didnt win scrap. Arsenal hold the record for only spending £78M the whole time since Wengers been in charge. That is a testiment to Arsen Wengers talent spotting potntial. RB also posesses this and i think by the time the first ball is kicked we will see a couple or exciting young spaniards.

Yes i was always a fan of Zenden when he was at Barca, but he was too overcrowded back then by the talent like Rivaldo and Figo. As Mbro, he was one of the few players with a lot of talent. I think Liverpool will suit him perfectly. Im sure he will be able link up well with th elikes of Gerrrard and Alonso.

So next season he will have hopefully Zended on a free, possibly Figo, Stellios for around 1M, Mikel Roque on a free, Barragan also on a free. Not bad. Thats almost half a squad, a pretty decent squad if i might say so. So that should still give him more than enough to splash out on the likes of D Kuyt, J Reina, P Aimar. I cant wait till next season.

I have no problem with Zenden coming here on a free, sounds like good business.
Players like Stellios are needed for those gritty winter away fixtures on saturday against middle table united or bottom of table city after those glamour players who have starred in mid-week European magical nights just seem too tired out to play well enough to get the points for us

I still that we should go for some Newscaslte United players like Jenas, Dyer, Milner and Boumsong. They are in big ploblem now where team mates fighting each other and some of the players are not happy with the manager and we should take that chance .

Jenas is quite good but certainly not boumsong. He has been quite arrogant towards LFC and i would prefer to give Zak Whitbread the nod rather than buying him.
Milner is far more quality that nunez though.

Zenden,Kuyt,reina all will be very welcome additions to the club.I honestly think we can challenge chelsea and co for the league next season.Rafa's the man to do it.

To my knowledge Boumsong was not arrogant towards LFC
It was Houllier who stalled on the deal to bring Boumsong here, and after a lack of progress Boumsong opened talks with Rangers and Houllier then took offence to this and dropped his interest (much to the surprise of everyone). Boumsong later admitted that LFC was his first choice but that the problem was with Houllier.
You can't blame Boumsong for speaking to other clubs to see what was on offer, it was Houllier who scuppered our chances of signing him
