[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Oxy - how much would lpool have to spend to get those players?!!

alves - £25m
Pedersen - £8m
Tevez - £18m
Etoo-£27m

£78m approx!!! lpool dont have that much money even when selling players - more like £40m plus sales

[Straight Bat]

Oxy I know Tevez has been amazing but if this was realisitic then finances would be way too much even with new owners. I can see the others happening but instead of spending £20+ million on Tevez, I'd give Kuyt more time. I've been impressed with him and he deserves a starting place for next season.

benitez said he need 100 m to buy the players he wants so its possible

[hasbeen]

big sam got 40m to spend and leighton baines is his first target

[faisalm]

Alves £25 mil????? He is not worth anywhere that, anyway with Arbeloa and Finnan i doubt we will go after another right back. We can spend it on another centreback with Hyypia showing his age.

[Straight Bat]

Any 1 listening then some fella who works for merseyside was having his t today IN ATHENS !! and andy gray, richard keys, redknapp, souness, andy townsend were all in the same facility and he thought he heard them mention thierry henry coming to liverpool So he went over and asked and they confirmed the rumour that was supposed to be ment PFA rumour only but now it seems to have leaked.. if u need a rumour there u have it !! As i said RUMOUR !!

from EST forums. NEVER going to happen, but if it did.... I'd eat a live goat

[Jimmy two-times]

Pedersen rumours are worrying as a rovers fan.

I hope he stays on for another season at least.

[Oxy]

I'm a big fan of Scandinavian players - plenty of work ethic

[Jimmy two-times]

agree with your point oxy.

players like berg, henchoz and pedersen prove that.

They are all been great players for us who gave 100% for club.

[Medic]

I also agree with Oxy. Pedersen is one of my favourite players outside Arsenal...

Problem - only 2 Englishman. Dont want to go the Arsenal way.

take away the england squad and english talent more or less dries up

there is sod all coming dowm from scotland, not many hansens and sounesses in the scotland team these days!

Thats what you want - play for the shirt...and not be thinking of the next shirt you could be wearing next season.

[madaboutlfc]

Originally Posted by Oxy Medic, please tell me that your boys are interested in Kewell, Zenden etc...

Kewell should stay as hes done well to recover.. Zenden Fowler Gonzalez Dudek are all gone.. Bellamy is nearly gone as well... if only he had a few brain cells hed have made it.. Other who are destined to leave by the looks of it
Pongolle, Cisse and LeTallec.. maybe even Hyypia.. As for the transfer kitty theres not a figure but its quite high.. If say a Zizou was on market tomorrow we would be able to afford him..

Crouch to stay or to go? Maybe rumors about Newcatle wanting to sign him midseason could start up again if we sign a top quality striker and he's not content with rotation policy for next season.

I think Crouch will stay unless the offer is ridiculous.. hes come leaps and bounds this season

and didnt because of the love of the shirt turning down a pay increase of £40k a week at the time..

[Geordie Ahmed]

We have been linked with him and supposedly we are close to getting him for £5mill . We badly need a left back and Baines would be an excellent signing for us

[madaboutlfc]

Originally Posted by Geordie Ahmed We have been linked with him and supposedly we are close to getting him for £5mill . We badly need a left back and Baines would be an excellent signing for us

yeah he would be.. as annoying a person sam is.. geordies will be back rightlyfully above Spuds next season for sure.. whats the deal with owen.. the escape clause is 100% and apparently Owen will leave if a top4 club comes in for him.. will there be any repercussions

[TAK]

that puts a great spin on it as far as stevie g is concerned

"i've turned down loads err money to stop here coz a luv the club n da fans n me gran lives here"

ballix

he's yer top man by a country mile

u telling me that the pool hireachy didn't give him a financial incentive to stay a red

no way malfc

as i recall his loyalty to liverpool stretched to not speaking to the scummers

[Geordie Ahmed]

What do you mean repurcussions?

Anyhow with our takeover and Big Sam as boss - maybe Owen will decide to stay cos our future is looking a little brighter

[madaboutlfc]

TAK he did not sign a new contract the first time around.. I know its hard to live on 60k a week but he didnt sign a new contract then.. the second time around was a cockup on parrys part where he didnt offer a new contract.. both times he turned down bigger salary.. for Gerrard and Carragher they believe a trophy with liverpool is worth 10 anywhere else..

[madaboutlfc]

i mean for FS.. As for Owen I dont think he will stay if a CL club comes in for him

[hasbeen]

Originally Posted by madaboutlfc i mean for FS.. As for Owen I dont think he will stay if a CL club comes in for him

hmm dont know about whether owen will stay but did you hear his press conference about how he was on the phone to carragher and, he said to jamie, stop sulking, youve won one champs league medal. then he went on to say how he would swap an arm for a champs medal etc..

is owen a guy who would do the right thing or would he go for the medals?? personally he owes newcastle one season at least

[Oxy]

Originally Posted by madaboutlfc i mean for FS.. As for Owen I dont think he will stay if a CL club comes in for him

Lots of 'talk' that its ManU - and not much denial from any parties....unless I ve missed it.

As for repurcussions Geordie - I think he means ' why the hell did Freddie agree to any clause allowing Owen to go' - on paper, you paid a hell of a lot for him, and it seems if an offer of £9 mill comes in - he can go!

Madness, seeing as he's spend more time in St James Hospital than St James PArk!

medals everytime.. Hes a great player but theres no loyalty.. he owed rafa one season but left for pastures new to become a galactico.. I didnt feel any emotional bond with Owen anyway and was not really gutted like when Fowler left..

[Oxy]

He skanked Liverpool - and he'll do it to Newcastle! He went to RM - and Liverpool won the CL in that season! He leaves NUFC now, what if NUFC with a billionaire in charge takes them to a cup success or CL qualification?

Not impossible.

Owen would be a disgrace if he walked away from NUFC.

I wouldnt mind him signing for Man U.. the transformation to the darkside would be complete and any respect I had would vanish

[Oxy]

Same here (and I imagine for majority of LFC fans). No bond with Owen - even though he did the business for us. Fowler has magnetic bonds with us.

And when Rushy went to Juve, and came back - we loved him.

Not the same with Owen. Not at all.

[Geordie Ahmed]

In the past i have defended his business nous, just had issues with other aspects of him BUT if Owen does leave then all i can say is what a major cock up - thing is im not sure if Fat Fred can go any lower in the fans estimations - hopefully he will be gone from the club soon or atleast get sacked as Chairman.

[Geordie Ahmed]

I guess Fat Fred got carried away and thought qualification for europe would be a shoo in - it has turned out to be an AWFUL decision. Fat Fred said there were no clauses when Owen signed,we had no reason not to believe him BUT i guess we gave Fatty more credit than he deserved.

I think a lot of fans have resigned us to losing Owen - he is obviously well liked here BUT if he did leave then i would have no respect for him whatsoever. I can understand a player wanting to win honours etc etc, heck if Given said he wanted to leave this summer you will find majority of Newcastle fans wudnt blame him and he would still get a magnificent reception every time he returned - Owen has given us Zilch for all the millions he has got in return

[TAK]

he will be playing up front tommorrow with a certain scummer

and the scummers love a bit o tapping up on england duty

[hasbeen]

personally i dont want him at united anyways. id rather man utd spend an extra 10-15 mill on someone like eto,villa or torres

Plus the hundreds of thousands in sending him to the TOP GUY in the States for surgery and all the follow up that goes with that.

yeh he will be marked tighter in second season and defenders will have plans how to mark him. i think he will be a success though.

[Rob H]

Finally a decent rumour around Villa. We're going for a £5 mill bid for Matty Taylor. I don't see why we need him with Barry and Bouma on the left already but he'd be a welcome addition to the O'Neill revolution.

[Oxy]

I'm surprised Gary O'Neil doesnt get linked with a top club.

Great player - most underated in the Prem for me.

[Medic]

Teymourian to Arsenal I hope this is just a rumour...

Riise to AC Milan/Chelsea

Reo-Coker to ? (asking price 8mil)

Malouda to Liverpool

[Has]

I think us offering Cisse and some cash for Ribery would seem like an obvious opportunity for us but its never been mentioned.

I kinda thought he'd stay. It takes a certain kind of person to walk away from a club after contributing nothing......

Anyway Shepherd is an id1ot, Obviously someone was going to come in with a 9 mill bid for Owen eventually. Even if we had got into Europe, Owen would probably still want to go to one of the top 4.

Good news for Oxy and any other Liverpool fans wanting to get of rid of Bellamy, looks like West Ham, Aston Villa and Blackburn might be willing to pay 12 mill for him. Bit of a step - down tho lol

[Medic]

Mart Poom to Watford (confirmed)

YEAH, I dont get this resignation feeling..i am kinda confident he will do the right thing and stay this season at least.

I would understand the clause if Owen played 2 seasons at the club and we finished where we did ..but fact is Owen made 14 appearances over the 2 seasons..which was about 9-10 starts which lasted 90 mins and he contributed 7 goals.. ( 4 wins)

Shearer doesnt believe he will go and Shearer was practically the main person who convinced him to come here.

If Owen did leave..he will be find out the true meaning of hate and it will be difficult for him to come back at all. Hehas earnt close to 13 mill ..practically a million a game.

etoo linked with scousers and united again

Is he as good as Richardson or Smith?

[Straight Bat]

well I've heard that Gerrard can kick the ball straight so that must be an improvement, right?

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

For monk r.e. Quaresma


Atletico Madrid's move for Porto attacker Ricardo Quaresma is back on.
The Portugal international has confirmed he's turned down a bumper offer from Bayern Munich, so clearing the way for Atletico to take the winger to Spain this summer.

"They're a great club," said Quaresma, "but I don't want to leave Porto for Bayern Munich.

"I would prefer to play in Italy, Spain or England."

Atletico will have to offer at least £15 million to land Quaresma.


----------

Atletico have that money to spend on a creative player, they bid that much for nani but nani is going to leave for £20m (release clause)

[Straight Bat]

In what way would that affect a potential Torres deal? Would Torres think that with a class player at the club then he should also stay and make use of Quaresma or would he think that Quaresma can take Athletico forward and would allow him to move on?

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

well torres badly wants to play in the CL and that aint gonna happen this year, but as u say, quaresma is a class act but it will take more than 1 player i reckon for el nino to stay - atletico have also signed cleber as well so they are doing all they can!!

[Medic]

I hoping Arsenal bid for Quaresma, now that Ribery is gone..

[Rob H]

Reo Coker - £8 million
Bellamy - £12 million
Taylor - £5 million

Combined these 3 players are not worth £25 million. Hopefully Bellamy can move somewhere else and we can spend our money on a player who will actually enjoy playing for the club.
