What if David Silva were to join Liverpool?

I have been thinking today about the serious possibility of David Silva joining Liverpool this summer. Many of you may think that I am barking up the wrong tree and that there is no way we can sign Silva. But look at it this way; Valencia for one are in financial trouble and need to sell their top players to get some cash. Their...

What next after Barry?

Now that it looks almost certain that Gareth Barry will be remaining at Aston Villa, where does that leave us? Firstly, there are still some reports this morning that the Barry deal is still on and Barry will sign in the next 24 hours! I have realised that you can not believe anything until you see the player at Melwood training....

Liverpool 0 Villarreal 0

I hope this run of draws in pre-season is not a sign on things to come when the real action starts on 16 August. Tonights result against Villarreal was Liverpool’s third draw in a row in pre-season. A bit worrying was that we failed to score but on the other hand we did not concede any. The night seemed to be more about...

And now Barry will stay with Aston Villa

Can they make up their mind about this? I am sure I am not the only one who is not happy about this whole Gareth Barry saga. Just a few hours ago, we were led to believe that Villa and Liverpool have agreed a deal for Barry. But now, a statement on the Aston Villa website is saying, “This evening, Aston Villa can announce...

Barry deal agreed

If you are to believe reports this afternoon, it is said that Liverpool and Aston Villa have agreed a 19m deal for Gareth Barry. Reports from The Insider state that Liverpool have agreed to pay 17.5m cash plus Steve Finnan to acquire Barry. This comes as a surprise to me as Rafa had made it clear that he would have to sell first...

Liverpool vs Villarreal Preview

Tonight Liverpool take on Villarreal in a pre-season game in Spain. This will be the first pre-season game where Rafa will have a full compliment of players to choose from now that the Spanish contingent is back in training after winning the European Championship. Krisztian Nemeth is also back after playing for Hungary in the...

Krisztian Nemeth turns down move to Leeds

Liverpool wonderkid, Krisztian Nemeth has turned down an offer to join Leeds on loan for this coming season. The 19 year old Hungarian striker has spent most of the summer with the Hungary Under 19 team competing in the European Championships but is now back at Melwood and ready to go for the upcoming season. For me it seems a...

You have to love Rafa

I have come across very few managers in all my years of watching soccer who conduct themselves in interviews like Rafa does. I will not forget the interview he had when there were problems with the owners and he was just saying, “My job is to coach the team.” I think ever since that time, we have all wondered what next...

Piss, Moan, Repeat

That seems to be the order of operations over at White Hart Lane these days. After reading the quotes from Daniel Levy about how the Keane deal “wasn’t a transfer deal” and that we had forced them to sell against their will lead me to a few thoughts: Keep your finances in order – Let’s assume for a...

Kop chants for Robbie Keane

It may be a bit too early but we certainly need to come up with a song for our new signing. I am sure Robbie is going to bag a couple of goals for us and how great it would be to have a song for him belted around Anfield. It would be so easy to just go with the ‘There’s only one Keano’ song that was heard at Old...
