Get him in! Just looking at the pics it is clear he is a legend.

Zidane was a great player, Beardlsey was a great player, Ronaldo is a great player. Crouch is an effective 'good' player. Not really a footballer tbh.

The long feared Owen for Crouch deal. *Benitez priority is to buy some decent players for a change. The American owners apparently have hired a consultancy firm to look at all his transfer dealings.

To be fair, he's never scored more 20 in a season as far as I know. He's never even ("even" ) got 20. Hmm...I was sure he had, and http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/fo/profiles/3929.html seems to confirm it. 01-02 Liverpool League 19 Goals, 29 Games 5 Goals, 10 Games (Champions League) 02-03 Liverpool League 19 Goals, 35 Games 4 + 3 Goals, 6 + 6 Games (Champions League + UEFA Cup) Thats 24 and 26 goals respectively. Regardless, hes a 20+ striker, whether or not hes ever achieved 20+ (which he has). Factors like fitness obviously play a part as to whether he gets to that target or not, but essentially hes a player who you would expect to hit 20+ if he were to play enough games. On my stats he's still in the top 10 finishers in Europe - goals per game.

My stance always has been that he prove himself elsewhere first.

Little did poor Brummie know as he bet £50 that my friend here in Germany was advising Laura Cashley.

Dyer is always bound to be better as are most players with better players around them.

The papers are in making things up overdrive.

Lock it.

Get him in!

The first sentence is totally made up.

Utterly pointless thread. His team haven't even kicked a ball yet.

Without going through the whole thread again it was mentioned in some papers that Allardyce has had a meeting with him and Dyer at the England camp this week. Sam is on the case that for me is the main thing.

He's 29 in September. Christ, didn't realise he was only 28 Modern pro's are ok till 33 these days tho.

More instability? A new manager (not guaranteed of Benitez's quality), whole new lots of players = more money wasted. To do is to succeed dear.

Gerard Houllier 'Liverpools highest ever fee' Jermaine Pennant Winger who can't cross.

£14m for Cisse! Benny won't make it. If they don't challenge for the PL next season he'll be out.

Is you ITK matey? Not really ITK as of such should we say but do have to agree with Gemmill and that nobody could of antisipated this and alot of plans maybe on the back burner. Just hope it gets sorted sooner rather than later. Sam will insist he is allowed to push ahead I'm sure. I have no worries on this score. The money after all BELONGS TO THE CLUB and not FS or A. Even if a transitional board is running things with non-executive directors which can happen to protect 'the company' in these situations. Was it not indicated when Sam signed he'd have around 20m-30m to spend anyhow before the takeover. Yes.

Needs to go back to his old role as an attacking mf.

1. Would Benitez be clueless if by the looks of the first half they could have won this? 2. Liverpool are very much in contention throuought the whole match, even outperforming Milan. They were unlucky to concede a handball goal, and got further punished when they bring in Crouch for Mascherano for more attacking threat. 3. How, in your opinions, could Benitez have done significantly better? If you took the courtesy to read through the thread there are dozens of examples and not just from me I might add.

Funny thing is Ozzie and before recent events, when I broached this subject a few months ago.....Shot down in flames I was and no doubt. blueyes.gif Not by me. Whether we like it or not, this is the reality. Yeah but we're visionaries man.
