KaKa Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Something I'd like to add, another young English top 4 reject spent some time on loan at two different Premiership clubs, but was not really going to be in with a sniff of first team football when he was to return to his parent club, is now being touted as a player beyond your means, one David Bentley. You've got to speculate to accumulate... Your far too sensible for these shores. How I wanted us to sign Bentley after his first stint at Norwich, but it was the same type of things being said about Guthrie and Larsson now. There is no guarantee these players will become as good as Bentley, but it is well worth taking a flier on a few of these types of players due to their reasonably cheap prices and potential for improvement. Exactly. Both of these players had good seasons and Keegan does have the ability to make them even better. It's not like we are able to sign the Luka Modric's of the world You were going so well up until then ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 £5M Plus Guthrie, go for it Scousers. Be ironic to Rob the scousers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 £5M Plus Guthrie, go for it Scousers. Be ironic to Rob the scousers. Well they rate Guthrie at £2m and we rate Milner at £9m, so they would be robbing us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Beyewatch- I hope you are taking the piss. As for Guthrie, i always thought he was a poor liverpool reject. I haven't really tracked his goings on, since going on loan last year but certainly don't think he's anything to shout about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxaux Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Nothing amazing, but his ability to play in a couple of positions and our general lack of depth would make him a decent squad player for the right price... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 meh but at least he is young and if nowt else its another body in the squad. Replacement for Joey Barton? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrette Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 That said it is another body in the squad and we certainly could do with being a bit deeper. Depends entirely on what we spend on him, if this is true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mcdonald36 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Bit harsh to say he didn't make it at Liverpool with the talent they have ahead of him. I've only seen him a few times and was quite impressed, but it's impossible to make any real judgement until we've seen him week in week out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sez Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Anyone know how good he is or isn't before crying into their cornflakes? Most people thought Bellamy was shite too. Also, again, this is just paper talk. Why believe it now if you don't believe any of the other stories? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 know nothing about him - if it turns up true then is he one of the 4-5 young players pushing the first team, or one of the definate 4-5 first team starters? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Big Mike is such a tease. Told you the signings would start pouring in. Go get em Mikey! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Always looked alright when I saw him playing for Bolton. In fairness, when playing for Bolton I can imagine it's fairly restrictive in the terms of how you play your football. Clearly he's highly rated by someone if old Liverpool folk keep taking a look (first little Sam and now Keegan and Mc). Didn't look out of place in the games against Bayern and Sporting as far as I can recall. If cheap not a bad investment - but this is saying if actually true because we all know local rags aren't the most reliable when it comes to the truth.

[again if true] it'll be interesting to look back in september and see if gutierrez & guthrie were us getting in some squad depth before moving for our real targets, or whether this level of player/price IS our real target...
