The Liverpool Thread

[Guest JS]

Who did nothing of note at Roma last season.

 

That's not true, he was good for Roma last season. Played his way into the Italy squad.

 

Just seems like a convenient rumour based off them spending a year together at Swansea. I don't see Liverpool spending big on him, and I don't see Roma selling cheap.

 

edit: didn't even spend a year. Spent like 3-4 months.

 

So let me get this straight, we buy the remaining 50% of a player to own him outright just to sell him less then a month later?

 

If he signs for the bin dippers this summer I'll wash my face with my own jizz

Not when he'll probably start, or at least play a lot more games next year. He's pretty good man, and after (hopefully) Borriello fucking off I could see him coming in for / Totti / Osvaldo / Lamela

Does Bojan have a future, or is he seen as a wide man?

[Guest Howaythetoon]

If we want a traditional centre forward I'd still take Ba over Carroll for that role, less trouble and mentally stronger, and a better footballer. Can't see the need for 2 of that type, I want a striker who can play in a front 3 now.

 

Ba is 3 times the player Carroll is and ever will be. People may laugh but Best is better than Carroll and as a footballer, so is Shola.

Fair play

Fair play

But what will this prove ?

If they were to have a float at an anti-racism rally, you could understand that.

But at a gay rally ? Where are the pluses ? Recruitment of new supporters amongst the gay community ?

Hardly. As the gay community themselves would probably say, you are what you are.

Sorry, but the imagery of this is just too amusing for words.

Presumably to counteract this kind of culture

 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/feb/10/can-gay-footballers-come-out

 

Football clubs have been deliberately seeking marketing advice on how to give their club a 'straight' image in the past and while we can have black and asian footballers, no gay footballers in any professional leagues have felt able to be honest about it.  If clubs dare to do things like this and are at least slightly active in gay communities, it might change how fans think about the issue to a degree.

 

Would be pleased if Newcastle did the same.

No, I think it's a good thing. Have to question whether sending the women's team is "challenging LGBT stereotypes", mind.

What's it meant to prove? Why would they be doing it to recruit new supporters?

 

It's a great move and a bold one. About time somebody stood up to homophobia in football, good on them.

Carroll and Downing = £55 million

 

Krul, Debuchy, Cabaye, Tiote, Ben Arfa, Ba, Cisse, Coloccini, Gutierrez and Santon = £50 million

Yeah it's around 42-45m if the various fee's that are undisclosed are correct.

That's so depressing. Absolutely exceptional bit of business on your part.

Eh?

 

Ba 3x the player Carroll is, and best and shola also better than him? Absolute drivel.

Big Andy polarize opinion, but he is still a very good forward. Unfortunately Liverpool fail to capitalize on his strengths with Stewart Downing the 0 goal/0 assist winger, also he has looked a bit lost for them this season.

Give Carroll two good wingers and proper service and he will be a consistent 15-20 goals a year forward.

 

[ponsaelius]

I'm pretty sure HTT has never rated Carroll, even when he played for us.

 

Either way it's hardly sour grapes. I don't know anybody that is bitter he no longer plays for us, because we have two better strikers here now. Ba is a far better footballer than Carroll.

[Guest Archie]

Still think its a shame we never got to experience how good Carroll could have been at 25 still with the 9 on his back and dripping with confidence from being the trinket of the newcastle team.

 

Water under the bridge perhaps but even if we now have "better" strikers, there was something about the whole Carroll saga which broke me in terms of loyalties and fotballers. Last man on earth I`d expect to leave.

 

Ah well, history I guess.
