I'm shocked Pool let Merieles go so easily and I can't see how Arteta is really going to improve Arsenal, he's been poor for 2 seasons.
Transfer Deadline Day
- Thread starter Red Pavan
- Start date
We've lost all our posts though. All that time and effort
I only had a few in there so not that bothered.
Still, they might argue that he hasn't been putting in the effort defensively and that he's not good enough to totally neglect that side of the game.
I don't know if that's true - I don't think so, if you're interested in my opinion - but there's an argument to be made there.
Is Gibson in his final year of the contract? If so, I hope he signs a new one or we are getting good money on him in january. No free please.
Good point and now for the fantastic bit of news you've been waiting for.
This transfer window we've managed to expunge (other than Meireles), wait for it:
El Zhar, Pacheco, Jovanovic, Poulsen, Cole, Ngog, Degen, Eccleston. Of the Bodgson signings only reserve keeper Brad Jones remains.
So, to reiterate, you will never see these players don a Liverpool shirt for any rotation we employ. Ever.
RESULT. I beg to differ.
You know this how?
Because he's Spanish. Looked decent for the under 21s, worked in a passing midfield and put in some tackles. But is he that special? Dont think so
Barca, init?
Last season smast teason.
We've still got pig, diouff, Gibson, no macheda loan and no sneijder. Not the best day.
Cameron Jerome, you know?
We have the best set of defenders in the league but defensively we're not the best team these days. A lot of that is down to tactics of course.
Fair enough. I don't really know how your manager will set you out so we'll wait and see. You'll get as many through balls from him as you did from the last midfielder you bought from us - Benayoun. You can only deliver if you play, Meireles was on our bench and can't see how that makes him an automatic starter for a team that finished higher than us last season.

So excited, still buzzing so thought I'd bump this already and also mention....out of all the sh*t Bodgson bought INTO Liverpool he never took OUT with him to West Brom. Ask yourselves why?
He could have taken Konchesky and Poulsen at the very least.
I think Meireles is a pretty good signing for Chelsea. Villas Boas'll probably use him as a holding midfield player (where he's played for Portugal) and he'll be an upgrade over Mikel at that position.
Good job Arsenal.. Some older players with a backbone and experience is exactly what they need right now!! That's I think what Sir Alex would had done if we'd been in the same situation. Should be fun to watch the team play now and take points from the other top teams.
Meireles I think had someone from Chelsea to told him what to do and Liverpool had no chance to keep him after that, other than deny everything if he'd stayed there. There's no way he'd done that by himself and not having a plan-B (or team-B).

He might have tattoos but I don't think he'd be any sort of defensive midfielder.
He's played there quite a bit for Portugal and Porto, no?
I'm not sure, I think he's been more advanced than that when I've seen them, though that's usually at tournaments or in bigger friendlies.

A fair few of the players you listed were a legacy of Rafa, too, weren't they?

They don't have any money? Why take Konchesky or Poulsen when you have Mulumbu or Shorey/Mattock?
Wasn't Danny Wilson one of the first Hodgson signings?
I rate Pacheco with what I've seen from him with Spain U-19 and U-20. Why hasn't he gotten a chance whilst Shelvey and Spearing are always getting a nod in?
Everton are reporting they have Drenthe on a season long loan. If that hasn't been posted yet.
Wow. That is old fashioned. Most modern managers prefer players to give 65% or so.
Could you make a dumber statement?
So, has Aquilani stayed at Liverpool then?
He was loaned out to Milan a few days back.
Is Joe Cole mentally ill?
Where's the Sneijder thread gone?
Apparently he tweeted something like 'Thanks for the support MUFC fans'.

SWP doesnt look very enthusiastic.
More interesting facts emerging. These are rough figures obviously but paint a picture:

As far as I can tell, #LFC have cut £30m off their wage bill and earned about £25m in transfer fees this summer. Net spend.
The £30m wage bill is crucial I think. Part of the moneyball strategy no doubt. Hopefully clearing the way for a better midfielder in January (Hazard)?

Dalgish is doing a really good job there.
He chose money over playing time for the important part of his career.
Andy Carroll agrees.
Does Rory Smith have a printscreen of Liverpool's accounting?
I also can't see how Liverpool have earned money from transfers.
Meireles 12m
Aquilani loan
N'Gog 4m
rest less than 4m.
Whilst Henderson, Adam, Coates, Downing, Enrique and Doni are easily more than 50m. Why are you reading tweets from twits you twat?

I guess he's splitting the transfer spend across the length of the players contracts and counting the wage expenses of the sold players in the same year.
Yes but you the solution to that supposed argument is Adam and Henderson, neither of whom are better players. Adam is great at set pieces sure. He's like a sniper. You don't put them on the front lines. Or in battle for that matter. They're special cases used in special scenarios. For Liverpool, playing him is equivalent of Stoke playing Delap. Apart from their main asset they don't do a phenomenal job.
That makes no sense at all. How many at Liverpool have seen out their contract the last 10 years? It's tweaking the numbers to fit your agenda. Every Tom, Dick and Harry know that Liverpool have spent way more than they have sold for.
At one point, i thought the england right wing was all his.
