usually for Argentina he plays like this

messi----aguero----Tevez

doesnt play well out there at all imo

bit harsh to judge him on that mate, Argentina are a little all over the place at the minute.

True, but you could say bringing a foreigner over is just a big a risk. I think if he does come, he'll be accomodated in the starting 11 somehow. If that means taking awhile to develop in a foreign position.

:eek:

do go on

hes never played out there for utd so unless you watch Argentina i think your mistaken

?!?!

you messing? he's played out there a good bit this season for Utd iirc. Wigan the other week for example he played out on the right when he came on.

Argentina are one of my favourite international sides around,tevez has been disappointing for them

no for wigan he played up with berba and Rooney played on the right

pretty sure he played on the right, i can picture him terrorising them down that side when he came on.

anytime he was on the pitch with Berbatov & Rooney this year, berba was always central with the two lads out wide. I'm talking about the same thing, with Torres,Kuyt,Tevez. Not playing as traditional wingers.

True, I think Rafa has always wanted the fullbacks to provide the main width in the team, and with 2 'holding' midfielders in Xabi and Masch, they can afford to get forward more.

Anyone know what the story is with Degen, are we going to see him at all this season, and is he up to it at all? Because if we are to play with attacking fullbacks, Carra/Skrtel/whoever else fills in is not adequate cover/competition for Arbeloa (I rate Arby by the way, not saying we necessarily need to replace him, but certainly need to cover him/push him for his place.)

I dont think so alan

i picture him beside berba because he scored that class flick

Rooney was on the left or Right

but it doesnt really matter,tevez isnt the best on the wings maybe he needs a season on the wings to adapt idk

all i know is a quality piece of skill i saw from him in the preseason against tranmere.

although i may have dreamt that! and he may not actually exist.

Apparently Gerrard is now being linked with Madrid too.

An Evertonian, I'd never have guessed.:rolleyes:

Karmafaerie

Against Wigan, Tevez came on for Anderson and played on the left and right, with Ronaldo switching wings with him, and Berba and Rooney up front.

He also came on for Nani and played on the left aginst Spurs.

Eire-Dearg

It was after the goal, which was scored around 60 minutes or so.

Mr Alan

headshot, anytime Tevez,Rooney & Berba were on the same pitch he was playing out wide.

so thats hardly ever then

Mr Alan

a few times this season i would've thought.

why we even arguing about this, he'd be a good buy for us, even if it was as back up for torres & gerrard. add in his (arguable) ability to play out wide in a 4-3-3 and he'd be a top purchase imo.

probly only twice

he'd be a grand signing for ye but he wont be happy as second choice,and im certain he's off to city because hes settled in Manchester and hes kids go to school there afaik

but who knows silva and ribery also talk BS

Mr Alan

he wouldnt have to move if he signed for us.

add in CL football, him knowing we're a very good side,chance to win the CL, chance to win the league, his best mate playing with us, Insua coming through and all the spanish speakers, i think we'd have a good chance.

I've no idea where he's going to end up but there's been a few Liverpool players over the years that have lived in or around Manchester and commuted daily - Kewell springs to mind as an example. It's around a 40 min drive iirc. That kind of commute would unlikely be a deal breaker if such a move was on the cards.

But as I say - I've no idea where he'll end up.

Reports state £20 mill with the ability to ask the ownrs for more, and around 90% of all sales going into the transfer kitty.
So sell Dossena, an he could buy Tevez.

ShamoBuc

I think we can afford him, and badly need him! Experienced and proven in the prem. Can be cover for both wings, can play behind Torres and can play up front and will run himself into the ground a la Kuyt! We should get him fast, end the speculation on any other transfers and look forward with confidence to being top of the pile next May!!!

Owen and Butt Commute in Owens helicopter from North Wales and Manchester. Distance isnt a big issue nowadays. Certainly not the few miles between Manchester and Liverpool anyway.

jesus_thats_gre

Tevez is not what Liverpool need imo..

What we do need is someone like Robben who will be available for less than 10 million and would offer a directness that we currently don't possess.

Players of this ilk are what are needed for us to make the step up.

ShamoBuc

Robben could be bought 'reasonably' cheaply, possible to buy both?

I would hate to see Robben at Liverpool

me too.

all Liverpool need is to improve our existing squad, Tevez would do that.

I agree. Cheating and diving is something I would rather not see more of at Liverpool.

+1 for that, Valenica would be good if he isn't signed by Fergie.

jesus_thats_gre

Ye are missing the point. I am not saying that it has to be Robben. It needs to be a player of this type that is available for in or around 10 million. Add two players like this and the squad would be alot improved than if we were to literally waste 25 million on Tevez.

Good spot! Must be for use in some crazy advertising campaign thats either going to be mirroring the image, or plans to be looked at by people through a mirror (like ambulances in rearview mirror).
