Neh, making a double bid for Bebe and Obertan.
No. He's good for set pieces but otherwise he's limited.
Edit: This site is becoming a PITA. I'm constantly being locked out by the 'sorry the server...' message. Life's too short ffs.

Relax mate - GC is a closet Red. Half of what he says about us is a subtle blend of admiration & irony.

Agreed - but The Streetfighter is that rarest of creatures - a flair player who works hard as well.

I think that's a cue for me to write a blog post damning Liverpool, eh? Also you missed out the intense sexual **** I feel for Alex
No. You've said as much yourself. ( Not that thing about Alex. You're both consenting adults. Probably.) Peace.

Did you not see in the same post I told him I loved him.
Me and GC are tight.

Guys,try keep it a bit on topic please. Most of the last 15 posts is you guys just bickering.
If you dont ill have to close the thread again till you all cool down
Anyway most people ITK or not realise we have priorities this summer.
1. A left back/wing back
2. A creative left winger who can land perfect crosses
3. A young center back that can learn from Carra
4. A creative center midfielder in the Xabi Alonso mould.( dont think it will be Charlie Adam personally)
5. Another winger if we can find a target for the right price
6. A back up keeper
7. Another Striker
I dont expect us to get all 7 of these sorted. If we got 5/7 id be very happy with that.

No. He'll have the final say but Comolli will be hugely involved.
No I did'na. All's well that end's well.
On another note: Is it solid About Pepe ? If so great news, though I saw it coming - you guys too I'm sure.

I'd think Comolli will come to Kenny with a list, then Kenny would have the final say from there something like that?
Yep. Saw a couple of quotes floating around saying that he was definitely staying.
I thought I saw a story somewhere regarding Liverpool making a move for Nuri Sahin, who just turned down a contract extension at BVB. I'll see whether I can find it...
Sounds reasonable; that's what directors of football should do in theory - take the hassle of scouting for boys away from the manager, but give him the final nod.

Sorry Boss.
I think Pepe would love to play every game if he could so have a backup keeper as the last piece of the jigsaw. I mean. when was the last time he was out injured ?
No place for a certain Ashley Young in your list I see. Excellent call.

Quite right, but I'm just interested to know why you think that? I know why - I watch Young week in week out after all - but it seems that most of the rest of England still wrongly consider him our best player.
On the topic of a left winger, think Balazs Dzsudzsak was being lined up recently. I'll find the link.
Found it. From what I know of him, he's exactly what you need: a pacey classic winger, with excellent crossing and the added bonus of being good at set-pieces.

We really need a conventional winger & Young is not one; he's too much like Babel for my tastes. Babel was a forward at Ajax & Rafa seemed to think he could turn him into a winger - no use. Young is not the player we need to give us width & send crosses in for Carroll; His instincts are to cut inside & get into the oppo box. We're covered there.
Lots of Reds would love to see him here but I'm a pragmatist; we need to fill the positions where we are weak, not supplement the positions where we are strong. Unlike Sheikh City, we can't afford to buy everything that catches our fancy just for the sake of it. Tactical buying I think it's called. Ghastly.
Dzsudzsak doesn't fancy us more's the pity - I really rate him. He's PSV's best player by some distance.

Had to LOL at the first bit.
I agree that reina wants/should start all games but i remember a few years ago we had Kirkland/Dudek and both got injured and we lost points. You never know, one awkward fall in training could cost us a few points next season. Id rather know we have good back up as i think Jones is leaving at the end of the season. Also if he have a stand in doing well in training it could make Reina under pressure to do well. Its all about competition for places.
I for one would cry if i seen us waste money on Young. He is a decent player but he is overhyped. He isnt really an out and out winger and hes not a striker. If we were to sign a winger from Villa id much rather Mark Albrighton(sp).
From what i have seen Dzsudzsak seems to fit the bill. He has done well over the past 2 seasons for PSV and fits our reqiuirements.
I actually thought that before, Babel and Young are similar players. Why pay so much for a similar player to one we sold for peanuts...
Just... no. Honestly, you have more chance of Poulsen scoring a perfect hat-trick than that happening.
Not true. Young is a winger - Babel was a striker playing on the wing. Their attributes are quite different, with Young being more fleet-footed and an excellent crosser, and Babel being more direct and more of a goal threat. Still, I can see why you wouldn't want Young, but I would be exceptionally happy if he went to you this summer.

Haha i didnt say it would happen. What i meant is that he is the only Villa player id take for Liverpool.
Meh,Young has a decent pass and can dribble down the flank but he lacks quality crossing ability and thats why i wouldnt really like him.
