off you go then

If he continues to play well for the rest of the season, (not sure how long he is contracted to the club) but the club should put him on a good long term deal. We need to hang onto guys like him if we are ever going to move forward as a club.

I have seen a few of those era's

He is the archetypal mercenary. Dont want him anywhere near our club. Lucas Neil is 30 years old and had played for 3 clubs, Millwall Blackburn Rovers and West Ham. i am sure if he was a mercenary, he would have had a few more transfers

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article2087501.ece WEST HAM skipper Lucas Neill can leave Upton Park for free in the transfer window. is he worth going for. he can play full back as well as centre back.

FYP. Yes i know it's an old, boring argument now - but if the people on that side of the argument are allowed input then the people with balanced views can have a go aswell iyam. "Balanced views" - don't be such a patronising tosser. If you think KK's ambition for the club was to survive and nothing more, feel free. You're talking s*** though. That's why he's gone and that's why Owen and Shay are as good as gone. Funny how M&D are doing a brilliant job yet the best players are leaving like rats from the sinking ship. They obviously can't see Mike's vision of the future as well as you can. At the end of the day, no matter who people blame for the whole Ashley/KK saga, noone can deny the poisitivity there was under Keegan at the start of the season. People were happy, the players were happy, everyone was enjoying themselves and football again and things were looking up. Shay and Owen would both stay if nothing had happened and KK was still in charge. FACT. Ashley has well and truly f***ed up here. i you know that

What part of the statement does he clearly state that? I think it Arsenal that he sees as better prospects. 'Having served the club loyally for over 11 years, Shay feels compelled to consider his position in the light of the interest being expressed in him by Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham.' Why on earth would they be mentioned if he didn't feel all three were interesting him? I'm pretty sure Blyth would have him but he doesn't go on mentioning them. The are quotes from his lawyer/agent. Not Shay himself These clubs may be the ones that may have enquired about him. At no point does he say that he thinks they are better prospects. The statement could also mean his agent is trying to work things in his favour so Shay ends up been offered a better deal. To stay at the club

What part of the statement does he clearly state that? I think it is Arsenal that he sees as a better prospect

I would say no . The only way I would agree to a sale was if Given wanted to go.

If found guilty, I wonder if he will get the same treatment from the press as Barton got?

Not that the club is no longer for sale, I wonder if Joe will now be able to bring in another coach, like what he was looking at a few months ago.

well said i do not want him here

correct

seen so many performance's like this in the past i do not get upset by it now

We do not have the players to compete at the very top level. Liverpool played well today. Do not take anything away from that fact, not only do the have a lot of very good players they work very hard for one another. That is why they are top of the league. They closing down when they did not have the ball todat was excellent. Something Newcastle could learn from them, plus they they have players who know how to use the ball when they get it. simple game really.

the bbc have him in the squad for the Liverpool game. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7788422.stm

sums up news of the world.

thought he did well yesterday. not seen enough of him to judge if he goog enough.

The leader today, though he didn't have a great game until the last twenty minutes, was Guthrie. Took the responsibility of the comeback solely on his shoulders and I was confident when he was the one to put the ball on the spot. says it all really. 21 year old Liverpool reject assumes leadership on a pitch full of seasoned internationals. "whatever you do, pick good people" - SBR f***ing sickening a bit harsh on Guthrie Liverpool have some top players in the cantre of thier midfield.Very hard for him to break into that side

Heskey was offside should have been a freekick to us.

;D

totally agree

thought he had a good game yesterday

Agree with your point that JFK has a presence about him that Roeder lacked. Whether he is good enough needs to be looked at in other ways : 1. Are we that attractive to "good" or "great" managers? 2. What truly differentiates a great manager from an average one like JFK 3. We are no longer a big name in football and why do we think we can attract the best? 4. The fans & stadium have always been cited as reasons why we are still a big name but conversely, the same reasons also put undue pressure on the manager and the team? 5. With MA in charge, we don't have the clout or funds to buy top players any longer. Why come? 6. We have been spinning from scandal to internal strife for the longest time, where is the stability for a "good" manager to build his team? i think you have made some good points there. i am not sure we are in a postion to attract anyone that really is much better than Joe

not that sure he any better than Joe
