As I said I don't think we have decent back up for Torres. This is only going around in circles though so I'll leave it here!

Fair enough, but seeing as the transfer window hasn't opened yet, and Rafa has mentioned breaking the transfer record, I think it's safe to say, we will have somebody to fill that role.;)


Edit: 50 posts to go.

As the number one poster (of sh1te) here, it should clearly be mine!

To be honest I would rather keep Voronin and possibly bring in the likes of Dani Pacheco and Krisztian Nemeth than bring in Kevin Doyle for £7M. I just think that the youth need a chance to show what they can do, hopefully they get a few chances in preseason.

im supposed to get it

To be honest, I don't really want it anyway. *sniff*

Some B'Astard Mod will dive in at 3 am and lock this thread like last time so it doesn't reach 20,000 :pac:

Thanx 4 The Fish

It will definitely reach 20k. You will not be the magic number Mike fo sho...

Dev has mentioned that super (and this is probably amongst the superest of them) threads do cause a strain so it may not last long past that.

If we were actually to spend that kind of money for a backup striker for torres would they not be expecting a bit of first team footy??

mike65

Is anyone elae on page 666? :eek:

Thanx 4 The Fish

Nahhh, I prefer the 20 post a page option to the 40.

Keep it on topic lad, not having you fluffing your way to the line

mike65

It would be great to have something big to announce with the 20,000th post but alas unless its to declare this thread has 20,000 posts I don't see what it could be.

Thanx 4 The Fish

you could be banned for off topic if you like

I just noticed that Thanx mods Soccer Mods, is decision making/ban approving that hard fought? :eek:

Thanx 4 The Fish

Like you would not believe mate, like you would not believe. That Dub lad is the trouble maker. Sounds like a conversation for OTT for me though.

Is the topic even slightly visible from here ?

Have heard that Rafa has a real interest in Kenwyne Jones from a reasonably reliable source. Wonder if he would go for him, reckon he would be happy to play backup...

mike65

Jones a English and didn't get relagated, so the cost would be too much for what he'd
be asked to do. While its hard to know who the understudy role will go to I'm pretty sure it won't be another Prem player and certainly not an English one. Hence Tuncay being mentioned.

jones is from Trinidad and Tobago

He is about as english as you Mike.

He said 'Jones a English'.
Clearly Mike is Amish and he meant that Jones was an outsider and not Amish. Whether that has a bearing on Rafas desire to sign him is another thing, but I did see on Rawk that he is rumoured to prefer Spanish and Amish players.

mike65

Heymon, I say 'Jones a Engish' cos he is Engish, he called Jones ainhe?

Glico Man

Tuncay would be a good buy and a good person to bring on in the last 10-15 minutes when the opposition have tired legs because he runs and keeps running like our own energiser bunny - Kuyt.

He would be a cheaper option than Jones as I can't see him being sold for under £10M as Spurs were after him last season and last January and failed to meet Sunderland's asking price of between 12 and 15 million.

Though as I've already stated I would prefer the young lads get a run out. Lord knows we need to see some youngsters like Pacheco, Nemeth, Bruna etc come through like Insua, Spearing, Darby and Kelly have this season gone. They may have only been cameos but its progress.

apology if this has been posted already

wags are a menace

Javier Mascherano is set to leave Liverpool, with Barcelona preparing a £35million bid.

The Argentine, 25, has told boss Rafael Benitez he needs to leave because his wife, Fernanda, is reluctant to return to England.Sportsmail exclusively revealed earlier this month that the midfielder was unsettled but Benitez had hoped to persuade him to stay.

However, Fernanda is pregnant, has returned to South America with their daughter Iola and does not want to fly back.

Benitez is understanding but still wants at least £35m for his midfield enforcer.

Mascherano's agent, Walter Tamer, held talks on Wednesday with Barca general manager Raul Sanlehy and sporting director Txiki Begiristain, who will offer around £20m plus possibly striker Bojan Krkic.

35m is a steal,if he goes for that heads will roll

mayordenis

Looks like he's gonna move on if barca match what benitez is asking but I reckon it'll have to be a pretty tasty offer.

For what it's worth if they offer 35million we should let him go.

out of interest would liverpool want yaya ?

I don't think you could get 40 for someone if they want to leave for personal reason, I think if barca offer 35 and he really does want to leave he will be gone, and it's pretty understandable.

Yes we would want Yaya I would doubt he would want to come though, the think with Yaya is I reckon he's a better footballer than masch, the added hieght would be handy too. Not sure he's quite as combative but would be excellent.

No player in his position is worth 40-45 mill.
Even £35 million seems insane despite how much Liverpool fans love him.

GBX

Id take Yaya. New Sissoko perhaps. Still would be a big shame for the Masch to go. But if we get either 35 Million or 20Million plus Yaya, id say it was good business.

Well he's probably the best in the world at what he does. Liverpool fan or not, you gotta admit.

Thanx 4 The Fish

I do not think that Yaya would give us what Masch does.

masch is the best DM in the world so if it was FM i would pay 40m for him:)


the start of the downfall of the 1st galactico was the transfer of Makelele

so its important

How much was Makelele? I rate him but that kind of fee isn't happening. I'm being realistic.

There is no such thing as realistic since that bloody insane Ronaldo transfer.

I'd be shocked if he leaves, and I'd also be shocked if its for over £25 million.

yap I was jut about to post that

masch is worth 35m+ imo

id worry for liverpool if ye dont get another good DM,the recent chelsea CL 1st leg showed what a lost masch was

Eire-Dearg

Masch is definately £35m, possibly more. Best player in his position, in the world, in football's current climate. Might even fetch £40m+.

JPA

So how much is Alonso worth?

zing

If Barca want to cut a deal for Masch I wouldn't mind taking someone like Bojan off their hands as part of it.

A gazzilion euro.

I'd settle with an Iniesta, or maybe a Xavi in the circumstances.
