^Agree. He is always on the edge of doing something creative. Theres not much else that Liverpool have when it comes to that.

also jermaine beckford joins everton. they said it was on a contract expiry, so im wondering if everton signed him for free or for a small fee.

Is Benayoun that adamant about leaving then?

Spanish sports paper Marca has indicated that Jose Mourinho is hoping to make Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard one of his first new signings. The headline reads 'Gerrard, very close to Real Madrid'.

 

[Bobby Sands]

fuck off Mourinho. god i hate that man.

Yes apparantly Benayoun wants to leave unless Rafa resigns or moves away. i do agree that he has been treated poorly. There have been so many situations where he has played a good game and then gets dropped for the next one. thats what he is annoyed about. but i dont want to see him move to that horrible manufactured club.

 

[Bobby Sands]

If Gerrard wants to go, they can give us Kaka for him

 

[DPG iz all I C]

I read that Mourinho wants De Rossi ahead of Gerrard.

Some brief news:

Quite a bit of speculation around this morning, with most centring around Chelsea with reports suggesting Nicolas Anelka has agreed a new deal and it is also claimed they are still battling Manchester City for James Milner.

Yaya Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk believes Barcelona are pricing the midfielder out of a move to the Premier League.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted he is huge admirer of Joe Cole, who is a free agent after being released by Chelsea.

Everton are hoping they can persuade Martin Petrov to join them, skysports.com understands.

Reports in Spain suggest that Valencia have rejected an approach from Manchester City for Juan Mata.

Spurs or United??

 

[Bobby Sands]

The Russian's are trying to raid the SPL for their best players lol. cant see Boyd going there or McGeady. McGeady should have moved abroad a couple of years back imo

 

[Flipmo]

Joe Cole linked with Arsenal. Apparently Aston Villa are interested in Dudu also, but this comes from a flimsy newspaper: The Daily Mail. lol.

I wouldn't mind seeing him at Villa though, he'd have better chances starting under MON than Wenger... and we need him fit for our Euro quals. lol

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Daily Mail:

Eduardo would be the favourite to leave the Emirates if Cole arrives and has attracted interest from Aston Villa.

We're also linked with an £8m move for Morocco and Anderlecht midfielder Mbark Boussoufa should James Milner leave.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Daily Mail:

homosexuals, foreigners and muslims are the cause of all problems in England.

 

[Flipmo]

lmao.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Stephen Hunt has joined Wolves where he will team up with Kevin Doyle again.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Mata to Barcelona for 20 million it seems

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Stephen O'Halloran joins Coventry City on a Free - Good signing for them, he represented ROI at U-21 level and was one of our most promising youth players on the verge of first team contention until he was plagued with injuries.

Anelka signs one year contract extension with Chelsea until 2012.

Milwall want Arsenal forward Jay Simpson.

Scholes hints he may retire next year and go into coaching.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Michael Ballack has rejoined Bayer Leverkusen

Van Der Vaart has been linked with Sampdoria.

 

[Duke]

When I read Sampdoria my gut reaction was skeptical. Beneath VDV's stature.

But they did finish 4th this season. If they can keep the current squad together and acquire a player of VDV's caliber, they might be a very cool outsider next season.

Also, VDV + Cassano should be fap. VDV really benefits when he's one of the big men, or *the* big man, in a team. Like in his HSV days.



I think Scholes has immense potential as a coach.
