Gribz 790 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 That Beattie move must be a wind up!! We dont need strikers. He isnt the worlds worst but certainly isnt as good as what we have. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 790 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Samaras completes move to Celtic after impressing Strachan on his loan spell. Must have been the only person he impressed then. Hleb set to sign for Barca for 12 million. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 790 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 The Mhanks are becoming active: Balde is allowed to leave on a free if he finds another club - I guess there will be no Balde Fanni next season then. Im surprised Walter isnt in for Balde seen as he is a centre half in his 30s. Gabriel Tamas from Auxerre is linked with them aswell. Marcus Bent joins Kevin Philips at Birmingham 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see how many would take him though. I dont think he is a good player but he wins every ball in the air coz he attacks it and player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon 0 Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 Chelsea reportedly lining up an �£80m move for Kaka. Some of these prices nowadays are just ridiculous and would probably spell the end for Lampard as they have some amount of midfielders already. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 790 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Makelele will be leaving Chelsea. If they get Kaka then Id back them to win the league. Ballack is now on top of his game, Deco is world class and Kaka is as good as they get. Add the steel that Essien gives plus Joe Cole's quality and Mikel and thats the best you get. Plus they have Malouda. They can let Lampard and Makelele leave with that midfield. If they let Drogba go for 20 million then thats great business aswell. Anelka on his day is as good, and Shevchenko is still world class. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 790 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Robbie Keane passes medical at Anfield Liverpool are expected to complete the �£18m signing of striker Robbie Keane from Tottenham within 24 hours. He underwent a medical on Monday and may be able to fly to Spain with the Liverpool squad ahead of Wednesday's friendly against Villarreal. Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez completed the final stages of his negotiations with the 28-year-old over the weekend. The Republic of Ireland star is expected to sign a five-year deal worth about �£80,000 per week. As a child growing up in Dublin, Keane was an avid supporter of the men from Anfield - and Liverpool will now become his sixth club after spells at Wolves, Coventry, Inter Milan and Leeds, before his switch to Tottenham in 2002 for �£7m. Keane had become Benitez's number one summer target over recent weeks, with the need to replace Peter Crouch, who joined Portsmouth earlier this month, seemingly more important than pursuing the complicated and protracted move for Aston Villa's 27-year-old midfielder Gareth Barry. With the prospect of Xabi Alonso now remaining at Anfield, Liverpool may now decline to respond to Villa manager Martin O'Neill's demand that they make their intentions regarding Barry clear. Liverpool's response is that Villa have turned down four bids for Barry and the Merseysiders are not prepared to pay �£18m for the England international. Benitez will now be unwilling to allow full-back Steve Finnan, a possible makeweight in a deal for Barry, to leave the club. That is because new signing Philipp Degen is expected to need surgery on a groin injury that will rule him out of the start of the season. There is also the likelihood that Spain international Alvaro Arbeloa could return to his home country for �£6m in the coming weeks, having expressed such a desire for personal reasons. All such problems will be put aside by Benitez when he is able to unveil Keane - who married Irish model Claudine Palmer in June - as the new strike partner for Fernando Torres. Torres cost Liverpool �£20.2m when they bought him 12 months ago, and their current second biggest signing is Javier Mascherano, who cost �£17m when the deal finally went through in February this year. The arrival of Keane will take Liverpool's spending to about �£32m since the end of last season. They have already drafted in Degen, fellow full-back Andrea Dossena, goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri and teenagers David Ngog and Emmanuel Mendy. About �£20m has been raised by selling Crouch, John Arne Riise, Scott Carson and Danny Guthrie. That will be a superb signing for Liverpool. Keane could play for any team in the league IMO, he will guarentee you goals and is a class act on and off the pitch. Benitaz has done well to raise 20 million with those sales, but he is still short of at least 2 world class players IMO. But Gerrard, Keane and Torres are certainly a scary prospect. Plus they still have Alonso and Mascherano. If babel comes on a bit then id say they just need a defender. And Andy Johnson going to Fulham. Bit of a surprising move but good for Fulham. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/f/fulham/7520955.stm 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyharley 5 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Liverpool dont need Barry. They need wingers, they wont win anything this season unless they get some width. Also if Gerrard gets injured then the team fall apart. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
