Done

Styles off......................

To live in his new home provided by the brown bag money no doubt.

First Ronaldo, now Styles!!!

For a minute I thought you meant he was going to go and referee in Spain

Real Madrid's new signing...

 

[Relahni]

Looks like Johnson is signing.

Bah - a decent full back. Not in the recent tradition of Liverpool.

Bring back Rick Parry.

£18.5 million though?

 

[Upchuck]

I'm not sure about Johnson and his suitedness to the Liverpool side

 

[belboid]

£18.5 million though?

only ten for Liverpool to actually pay tho, not a dreadful deal

 

[disco_dave_2000]

Even though Arsenal's debt is bigger and they performed worse on the pitch last season?

Bigger debt - but being paid off quicker than most because of increased stadium capacity and sales of apartments at old stadium.

 

[Biffo]

Is correct. £17m - £7m owed fro Crouchino.

Still a lot of money but he's 24 and first choice England right back. Better than Arbeloa anyway. Thought he was Citeh bound myself.

 

[Upchuck]

I reckon Liverpool have a great opportunity to win the league this season.

 

[magneze]

Johnson would be a terrific signing IMO. Quality player - was great for England last week.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Yep, I'd say Johnson is a great signing.

 

[Biffo]

Benitez' spending in full during his 5 years as Liverpool boss

Total gross spend: £191.309m
Total recouped: £109.51m
Total net spend: £81.799m

= £16.359m per year - a little bit less than a Glen Johnson.

 

[Relahni]

Johnson would be a terrific signing IMO. Quality player - was great for England last week.

It was against Andorra. No offence but don't judge the lad against that sort of opposition.

He's a good player, better than Arbeloa. A back four of Johnson, any two from AGGER/CARRA/SCARY and either Insua/Fabio is pretty good.

i'd like to see Darby get a few more games next season.

 

[Voley]

BBC seem to think the deal's pretty much done. £17m according to them.

 

[Biffo]

Away to Spurs first game of the season. Can't remember a home game to start the season since Collymore's debut in 95 (?) when he scored in a 1-0 home win v Sheff Weds.

09/10 league games after first 6 CL matches:

Matchday 1 15–16 September 2009
19 West Ham United (a)

Matchday 2 29–30 September 2009
3 Chelsea (a)

Matchday 3 20–21 October 2009
24 Manchester United (h)

Matchday 4 3–4 November 2009
7 Birmingham City (h)

Matchday 5 24–25 November 2009
28 Everton (a)

Matchday 6 8–9 December 2009
12 Arsenal (h)

Definitely could have been better. Sounds like a Rafa rant could come on this one.......

 

[Relahni]

good post.

Although, I'm happy to play the other CL teams after CL week fixtures.

 

[Relahni]

Have heard that David Villa is coming to Liverpool?????

 

[g force]

Really? Because he's apparently told Valencia to let him go to Madrid...and we're sniffing around if Man City accept Eto'o's crazy wage demands...

 

[Voley]

Villa, eh? Where did you hear that?

 

[DRINK?]

Would be a good signing though not believing anything at the moment....so much B*llocks flying around...we shall see and I also thought Keane would be a good signing so what do I know

 

[stupid dogbot]

Surely Villa's in a completely different class to Keane?

I thought I saw something this morning saying Madrid was his choice, but I can't find it now.

 

[belboid]

if he came to England, it would only be to Liverpool, supposedly. All the talk I've heard today is of Madrid tho

 

[Relahni]

I tried to find something about it and the only thing was that Valencia have had a bid from abroad?

 

[Relahni]

'I only have a choice,' David Villa said.

'My agent already knows it and is working on it. I am quiet here.

'At this moment I am calm playing with Spain in the Confederations Cup and scoring goals. I have not imposed a date to achieve my target.

'Really I do not want to say more because this subject does not depend totally on me.'

 

[stupid dogbot]

The fee being talked about to Madrid was £45million!

Obviously that's a press number, but still. I know he's good, but...

 

[kained&able]

liverpool wouldn't be able to afford villa without selling either macherano or alonso.

He will go to barca or madrid.

its all thanks to the ronaldo transfer (and equally the proposed Man City bid for Kaka) the fees being banded about are going to be way abnove what they would 'normally' be.


incidently, can't see Villa coming to Liverpool, sadly, the pull of Madrid and the money is too great.
