JK Galgreefe Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 schweini is a superb example of chiselled teutonic efficiency, but he'd probably be turd for us because he doesn't have the agility to be a top class premiership winger and is a complete arsehole in terms of temperament. so i'd prefer it if he just chilled at bayern perfecting his robotically germanic demeanour and giving other nations lessons in totally flair-free productivity when on international duty. just like i'd have preferred ballack never to go to chelsea.

benkeat Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 people are unbelievably deluded. we are the ones who have robbed roma for the riise fee, not the other way round. abysmal footballer, confidence shot, contract at an end and we're in the process of signing a new LB. how much were people expecting? personally, if i were a roma fan i'd rather the club donated that £4m to lazio than spend it on riise. xabi was quality the other night. sickens me watching his fee fall and barry's rise. we are a complete embarassment of a club.

Rafa Benitez may have to go cap in hand to Liverpool's American owners again after identifying £20million-rated Spain winger David Silva as the answer to his search for more width.The Liverpool manager believes he can talk Valencia into parting with a player dubbed the new Pablo Aimar but may have greater difficulty persuading co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett to meet the asking price. Already having to wheel and deal to raise £15million for Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry, Benitez has been made aware funds are scarce. He sees the capture of 22-year old Silva, who can operate on either flank or just behind the main striker, as a statement of intent, though, and is exploring ways of funding a deal.

LiverpoolSimplyTheBest Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'm angered we still have yet to offload Voro.

benkeat Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 you'll be waiting a very long time before voronin is offloaded considering rafa has shown no indication he wants him to go, he's been linked with noone and we cant afford to replace him aswell as crouch.

Rafalution Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 yea, think voro will stay, unless someone activley comes in for him. tbf, if we are getting in a new wing ( god i hope we do) then i see kuyt as main abck up forward, what with us having babel as well voronin isn't that bad a third/fourth choice.

DeafParrot Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 In Voronin's early days he did quite well for us as he played to his strengths and got involved in buildups all the time. In that 8-0 against Besiktas he must have contributed to about 4-5 of the goals. The problem was as time went on and the goals dried up he resorted to have 30 yard potshots whenever the ball arrived at his feet. And his shooting is woeful.

Ian McFarland Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Gillett - Time is a healerReds co-owners begin to build bridges George Gillett has revealed that he and fellow Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks are attempting to rebuild their strained business relationship. The American duo endured a much-publicised bust-up last season and Gillett, who is thought to be keen to sell his share in the Reds, went as far as to describe the partnership as 'unworkable'. However, Gillett now insists that he and Hicks are attempting to build bridges in order to help Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez mount a realistic challenge for the Premier League next season. "It's fair to say that communication between the Hicks and the Gilletts has been substantially improved and I believe that it will be for the benefit of the club," Gillett told Canadian radio station Fan590. "Time is a healer and there were things that had happened previously. It took a while for both of us to realise that we weren't communicating very well and the huge responsibility we have to the fans to do the right thing for the club. "I believe that the Hicks family are communicating better with us and we're communicating better with them and I think that will be much better for the club." However, Gillett refused to give a direct answer when asked if he was still interested in selling his share, saying: "I'm not going to comment on anything specifically." Gillett, though, expects improvements next season and has hinted that Benitez will be supported in the transfer market, where Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry is a top target. "All of us are focused on the transfer window and we want to be ready for that," added Gillett. "We want to have adequate resources and good communication with Rafa and our hope is that we're making better progress. "For a club that has a history of winning trophies, any season that you don't win one of the five or six trophies that we compete for, I suspect the fans, as well as the Hicks and Gilletts, are disappointed. "We have to help Rafa try and be more competitive in the chase for the Premier League." Well isn't that sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jep Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Voronin struggled with injuries during the middle of the season, and when you don't get a run of games to get your form back you will struggle. No point in moving him on as he offers good cover for the attack and probably deserves another season based on his early season form. Not that sold on Silva tbh. Although I haven't seen a great deal of him, the performances I have seen from him don't warrant that of a 10mill plus player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
