yer I heard this morn QPR I think ?
If so :cry: sure he's getting on but a great impact player the last 2 seasons but the change is a happening under BR !

Olympics anyone?

There has been a lot of talk about him leaving in any case. Wont surprise me - I think I read Kuyt, Maxi and Bellers together earn something like 14m a year... a lot of money. Being linked with Walcott which I would be happy with.

Check this out:

Amazing talent. It's so rare to see a player with exceptional agility, close control and dribbling like that, but also have an extraordinary passing range... reminsicent of Xabi. And only 18. I expect him to get some time on the pitch this season for sure.

Yeah I would certainly like us to sign another attacking player... Carroll, Suarez and Borini are our only real strikers atm, with Kuyt and probably Bellers gone. One more striker is important.

He'll be training with team GB. No reason why he'll not be in the team.

Pacheco, Borini and Suso are good enough in attack to get the job done in america.

:lol: you guys want Walcott, be prepared to be paying him at least 90-100k a week.

Better to be paying Walcott 90-100k and playing him regularly on the right than paying Maxi 60k and he sits on the bench 8 weeks out of 10.

Assuming that Reina stays injury free, he'll play 38 games in the league, if we make the quarter finals of the Europa League that's 14 more games he'll play - so he's facing 52 games there, plus if he's between the sticks in cup matches and pre-season games after the america tour (in order to build up your aforementioned match fitness) you're talking over 5000 minutes in goal this season.

Would like to see Tello to Liverpool if he can go for a decent price.

Also I hope that if Rodgers agreed not to buy any Swansea's players (which I hope he did as it is the right thing to do) that Swansea will also offer liverpool to bif for any players that another club has come in for and they are going to sell them anyway.

That seems like a reasonable agreement until you consider that Liverpool could do a deal with another club where they bid for a Swansea player just to allow Liverpool to make an offer.

There is nothing in writing but he could have a gentlemans agreement.

No they shouldn't, they purchased tickets to a pre-season game, if they expect to see a first 11 than they are delusional.

He's a GK, playing for a team that in all likely hood will dominate possession in the majority of games, one pre-season game and a two-legged play-off coupled with a month training with the Spanish national team is plenty enough.

NSFW for Imno only.

Worth noting that Benjo's link is nothing more than speculation based around Lucas being in the american tour squad.

Imno will still lose his shit

No, it's legit. He may even play v Toronto :D

I hope he doesn't start and we're just easing him back into things.

Of course, he'll get 15-20 at most I think. Still, if he plays 20 in this, 30 in the next, 45 after that, he'll be ready for the start of the PL season.

Also... isnt' the Europa draw today?

If I'm reading Brenton's post right:


NK Osijek (Croatia) or Kalmar FF (Sweden)
FC Arsenal Kyiv (Ukraine)
FC Spartak Trnava (Slovakia) or Sligo Rovers FC (Ireland)
FK Renova (Macedonia) or FC Gomel (Belarus)
Dundee United FC (Scotland)
Maccabi Netanya FC (Israel) or Kuopion Palloseura (Finland)

We'll get one of those teams. Carn Sligo Rovers :P

Stumbled across this. Nice reading. The names are hard to read, but I'm pretty sure it's:

Left: Alex Ferguson, Kaka, Vieira, Theirry Henry,
Right: Pele, De Rossi, Zidane, Torres, Ancelotti

Good stumble imno ! =d> I like !!

Ooooo I hope Busby sees this :lol:

Consider it bookmarked for the next time Mancs fap over Paul Scholes :p

hehe I wanted to type more :-" but we know what will come of this :lol:

As long as we don't have to travel to Ukraine or Belarus, we'll be fine.

Already saved :lol:

Hang on, we all admire Gerrard and have him up there with the great players. Ask any United fan which player in the history of the EPL would we have liked at United, besides maybe someone like Zola, the majority would say Gerrard.

We admit his class, you lot just don't want to believe that we do. It's just you lot can't accept that a little bloke from Manchester could be better.

This so much, Gerrard is a player I have a ton of respect for.
We really don't hate Liverpool anywhere near as much as you guys hate us, in fact Busby and I are on record several times in declaring we want Liverpool to stop slumping so you can challenge us again and build the rivalry up.

Gerrard deserves all that praise, but lets be honest, that's nothing on the praise Scholes has amassed ;)

EDIT
Interesting to note that the context of SAF's quote there was in who he would have to replace Keane and partner Scholes, such a shame Scholes cut his England career short and these two weren't able to establish a partnership, they would have been a joy to watch playing alongside each other.

Which dickead mentioned Paul Scholes and turned this thread into another Scholes wank-fest?

To be fair, Liverpool fans bring it up it, we just hop on.

I was asking who opened the door :roll:

FK Renova (Macedonia) or FC Gomel (Belarus) vs Liverpool FC (England)

Goddamn it Afro :P Gomel won 2-0 away from home too. Off to Belarus we go.

Yeah, my bad.

For the record, I'm not a liverpool fan.

Should be an easy win, but fuck travelling will suck.
