Who has Ashley actually sold? His bad decisions have been about managers or wage caps, not about keeping players that will keep us in the division.

I was being sarcastic!

Don't panic, we have options: Steven Taylor Ryan Taylor Danny Simpson Jonas Kadar Ferguson Carroll (started career as LB) Perch

Wilshere and Nasri. Still don't offer the consistency of Carroll though.

PFA Young Player of the Year? The award is supposed to be biased towards the first half of the season isn't it? Bale is fantastic but has been hot and cold, Walcott hasn't been his best. Anyone I haven't considered?

As we only seem to make one sub a match couldn't we just have Ben Arfa on the bench every game then bring him on with 10 seconds left each game?

Don't worry chaps, it is an internet site. Therefore consisting of someone who doesn't do any proper journalism, rather just sits on his computer making up any shit that he thinks will get 'hits.' Liverpool + Flair Player is a daily hits winner naturally, so Ben Arfa was bound to come eventually!

I'm not expecting any major business. Clubs don't want to sell a first eleven player as they only have a month to replace them. Any player we get will either be playing in a worse division (i.e. Championship, Swiss League, maybe a non-leading French team), a different continent (different calendar or transfer rules), or not be getting a game for whoever they play for.

We can score goals against the best teams so therefore a goal conceded due to a Krul mistake may make the difference between 11th and 12th come the end of the season and that isn't going to be a big deal. Would prefer Krul was out there getting games in a non life or death environment (i.e this season) and learning than playing Harper where we would not really be making any progress and we'd end up having to spend millions on a new keeper as if we aren't going to accept Krul is going to make mistakes then we aren't going to know if he can save the club money.

All players have bad games but my concern is a general decline in performances going into the second half of the season. We need a decent young left back that will push and challenge him, and give him the occasional deserved break to ensure performances last throughout the season.

His performances recently have been below par for his standard. Didn't something similar happen during winter last season? Then he had that month off injured and came back better than before. Perhaps he's the kind of player who can play very well for 35 games a season, but not if he has to play 45 games. May indicate why we really do need a left back.

Peter Beardsley. End of thread.

Best post I've read for some time.

Usual brown nosing by Taylor. Despicable person, terrible player.

Just for reference though, Gosling returned to training ages ago and hasn't played any type of match yet.

Bebe - what was fergie thinking? [/daily fail]

Is it possible to create a forum section that Messi can only see. So we have a Football Section and a Games section and a Chat section but Messi can only see the Messi Drink Piss section, but we can all see it too?

We can rule out Allardyce, Keegan, Kinnear and Hughton then.

I read quotes from Pardew saying that Taylor has been involved in the England squad. We're doomed!

Hope he plays tonight. otherwise we end up with him caning us next weekend.

Like him a lot. Want to beat him a lot but I like him a lot.

And that is why the Leagues should have just postponed every game at 9am this morning.

Perhaps I've just got it worst and presume it is the same for everyone. Have about a foot and a half. No-one is attempting to drive in the whole city.

The weekend is pretty much a writeoff for everyone
