taxfree

He's got quite a hefty history like.

The Journal revealed this week that United are also closing in on Paris Saint Germain’s Turkish striker Mevlüt Erdinç and Swansea full-back Neil Taylor, and the Magpies will hope to complete both deals before the end of the month.

Would be on cheaper wages though...

Doesn't help signing people if we seemingly are after selling all of ours.

Fuck off Ashley. Surely has to be bullshit. Surely!?

Karlsens take - when he was looking Liverpool bound: (Google translated...) Sylvain Marveaux. A scout colleague described the Frenchman last fall as "Florent Malouda without physics". By this he meant that Rennes-man isn't a classic one dimensioned wing type that gets lost as soon as he loses the smell of chalk, but rather a wide player type (originally played as a central attacking midfielder) who likes to draw inward to engage in offensive attack moves in the center of the track - or simply have a shot himself. The 25-year-old from France possesses a first class left-foot, good 1v1 skills with a low gravity point, good basic techniques (touch, quick close controll) and a large dribbling register. Before the latest injury, many was fascinated by his acceleration (extreme), but like many other explosive players, his career has been plagued by tension and muscle injuries around the groin and thigh. And usually the acceleration of football players fade in line with the operations and procedures. His Injury history is certainly a great paradox. Previously, both Chelsea and Arsenal we're after the player, but it is probably the jagged health condition that eventually got the two Premier League rivals to withdraw from competition for 25-year-old. Time will show whether Dalglish value Marveaux as a pure left wing (because he is left-legged) or on the opposite edge - thus maximizing his ability to draw into the field and provide good working conditions for his shooting foot. Or it may be that the Frenchman will find its place more centrally, in a rotation role behind lone striker (to guard against a lack of defensive effort). But the Frenchman is thus free (Bosman), and although I am not convinced that Marveaux will ever provide more value than a role as an effective squad player, the 172 cm long (short) wing adds qualities that Liverpool are missing today. Put another way: Marveaux can finally bring to the club the qualities Joe Cole should have delivered. For me Marveaux seems to be a supplement - a versatile attacking player who is equally capable of gaining the Kop-gasp on good days as disgruntled moaning on the less good days.

He was good enough for Liverpool yesterday. Cheer up. Still think Liverpool would go after a "big money" winger as well.

Can't help feel we've settled for the lesser and cheaper player.

Yes he is. have you watched him the last year or so ? Mhm. Even though he wanders to the middle to have a shot, he is still a winger. Not the traditional type, but a winger.

Yes he is.

Zog is more of a right winger now a days. And this better not be a player that stands in the way of players like Barnetta, Pedro Leon and N'Zogbia. The cheap bastard.

As long as we get someone else, decent signing. Bit worrying that we've bought two players who have big injury problems though.

Daily Mail have been working on this for a long time. He wanted to stay in London and Chelsea got money. Hardly science, is it.

Well, more than €6m. Vitesse had a bid of that size rejected a couple of weeks ago.

Don't really rate him, but wouldn't mind a squad like.

My bet is that Coyle is doing a smart move here.

SunSteveBrenner Steve Brenner Am told Alex McLeish is targeting Danny Simpson.Contract talks have stalled.Won't be many left at this rate #nufc Yeah..what?

Argentinian media say Ricky Alvarez has agreed move to an unnamed English club. Arsenal and Manchester United being mentioned as the possible clubs. Karlsen doesn't rate him at all, for the record.

They're still Senegalese though.

Doni rejects Liverpool due to wage breakdown. According to Sky Sport Italia, Liverpool offered Doni €900,000 a year whereas he was looking for €2.5m a year.

Villarreal has joined in on the hunt for Zapata. A bid in the region of €8m (and Javier Matilla going the other way) according to AS. Reportedly bigger than Liverpool's bid.

I think the club is committed to talent, but Ranger isn't a talent. Again, he's s**** and should be nowhere near our first team. Ever. Would rather play Lovenkrands and Shola up front to him (and they are both turboshite too!). Bollocks. This, from colinmk, basically sums it up:
