Arse in for Inler at 10mil, guess we know why he turned us down. I also see Zenit want 24mil for Arshavin now. The way they're going on they'll never sell him.

Oh ye of little faith... Can't believe that it's 31 July and some of you have already given up the cause. We've made 3 signings, we're in for a fourth and I think we'll have more developments as the window progresses. That's what "progressing" means. There's still plenty of time for us to identify targets and bring them in, and I'd rather we had a methodical way of doing this than panic buys and the chairman buying whoever he likes. Remember, two of our better signings last season came on deadline day.

So what happened Danny? No earthquake? That's from 19 July.

Very excited about this development. All this Chicken Little nonsense about wage bills and no backing is just that - nonsense. Keegan has been given the funds to go after players he wants, such as Aimar (didn't happen but nevertheless we were in for him) and now this Coloccini. Hope it doesn't come to a Webster move but I wouldn't say no if it did, Coloccini looks to have some steel in him and he would be a great addition to our back line. I saw the 7-8mil amount being bandied about and I think he'd be great value at that price.

Another vote for "ban." I think we have a winner!

Quite possibly the daftest rubbish I've read in ages. Congrats! Do you care to actually try to counter anything I posted? I've noticed that to be one of your critical failings. You disagree with any criticism but you can never say why. Simple. Because it`s rubbish. Why would anybody counter such trash. Can you give any definitive evidence that: Benitez has mounted a serious title challenge; Liverpool shouldn't be pushing for higher than 4th; Liverpool don't rely on one or two key players (Gerrard, Torres) while the others are perhaps not title quality? I'm afraid "it`s rubbish" isn't a defence. Silence gives consent. If you can't answer the allegations, I guess you think they're true after all? 'Silence gives consent ' is the kind of logic one would expect a child abuser to use; it in no way validates your point. Team always rely on key players ... hardly rocket science. Rafa has taken us to 3 CL semi finals in 4 years, has assembled a good strong squad with lots of quality despite taking over the shambles Houllier left behind (with modest financial support). It needs a little tweeking and one or two additions (keane and Barry) and we're off. You've made a fool of yourself. It finally got you to give some semblance of an answer. And looking like a fool in your eyes can only be a positive thing, trust me. So, you didn't answer either of the first two, and for the third question I was hoping you might compare your squad to, let's say Man U or Chelsea and explain to me how Liverpool measures up comparatively. 4 years later you're still no closer to the title. I'd say you've taken a backwards step. Is this the Liverpool you envision - a team who does well in cup competitions and can't handle the long haul of a title challenge? You're totally irrational. The club in general has made great progress under Rafa. Would you sack a manager that has generated so much revenue and reached 3 CL semi finals in 4 years, has worked wonders with the youth system and is still quite young. You look like a fool to anybody who knows their arse from their elbow. So, like I said, the club hasn't progressed domestically at all. "So much revenue" may be great for the owners but I look at Liverpool and think they could be doing so much more. And Benitez is holding you back. Don't worry though, he won't be around much longer.

Voted for Moyes. He's done with Everton what we've hoped every manager since SBR could do for us.

Spurs will laugh all the way to the bank if that figure is true. Again, Sunderland have more money than sense.

Poor player, not even good enough for Spurs. Without a shadow of a doubt we can do better - in fact we already have better.

Actually, it spells out "God" in Arabic. If there's one thing that really gets to me, it's people saying Allah like it's somehow different from God. You don't say French pray to Dieu, or Germans to Gott, do you? So why do Arabs have to pray to Allah? And I think more than one piece of meat is suspicious tbh, if it was just one it might be a coincidence, more than one seems to show design. In all probability, the restauraunt owner trying for some publicity.

Full three years. Keegan has a (malicious, not at all grounded in fact, perpetuated by a biased and hateful london media) stereotype to shake off and that's why he intends to see out his contract this time. Who cares what odds some bookies put on him? He knows he won't be sacked, NUFC fans don't want him to go, Ashley brought him in and won't alienate the fans by sacking him...so the only ones who don't know the score are the same ones who have applied the "bottler" label to him in the first place. And their opinion doesn't matter. I wish them well in wasting their money betting on Keegan to go. p.s. Can someone PM me with contact information for whoever I have to bribe to get Wummy B banned?

Good to see the inflation of English players' values goes both ways. The Reyes story is another recycle. The journos really have no idea, do they?

I'm liking this 1mil bit. Wasn't the price quoted earlier as 3-4mil?

Benitez is on his way man, you still think he's some kind of Liverpool legend but he's been just another makeweight who has given you years of - dare I say it? - top 4 mediocrity. Now, I don't want to give you the idea that I'm saying top 4 is somehow bad, because we'd jump at the chance, but given Liverpool's history and relative state as compares to other clubs, they should be doing more than settling for 4th. Keegan has mounted more serious title challenges than Benitez. I don't think he has it in him and I don't think he'll see out the year. Poor selection, bringing in weak players, a general reliance on one or two key players rather than a squad such as Man U/Chelsea/Arsenal have, all weaknesses that keep him and you from challenging for the title.

That's a reason why they'd put us on there. You seem to forget who is the media's darling. Stress levels are OK, "man." I just think you're a worthless waste of space who doesn't belong on these boards and is here for the sole reason of riling us up, and that you should piss off back to whatever circle-jerk Spurs board you came from. Not that I'm being blunt or anything. Other fans who come here in real peace in order to discuss our club, issues that affect our club and theirs, or issues that exist between our club and theirs are always welcome and we have had many. We may not have always seen eye-to-eye with them, and there was "rivalry," but in the end they were worth having. Fans who come here in bad faith to badmouth our club and our fans, promote theirs, be general nuisances, and in short, act the stereotypes, don't deserve to occupy this bandwidth. You're part of column B, I'm afraid. I'm honestly struggling to think of when you have had anything to say that wasn't somehow about how Spurs are a bigger club than Newcastle. From the very start, that post about us buying your rejects was a wind-up and that's all you have done since.

This is another windup from our favorite WUM. Spurs being on there - someone's having a laugh. The only reason he posted was to try to excite our jealousy that someone, somewhere thinks that somehow Spurs might even be on the radar as far as the title goes. They finished 11th last season FFS. I'd sooner expect the FA to revisit their Sheffield United decision, relegate West Ham, bring Sheffield up, and have them win the title than for Spurs to win it. Can we please ban this clown already? His contribution to this board, if it ever passed zero, has sunk into the negatives by now. p.s. Man U surely.

Without a doubt the most cringeworthy interview I have seen in my life. Jesus Christ, what must he have been thinking when he got off the line with that moron? He'd probably turn round and get back on the plane

Close please mods.

You are perfectly welcome to fuck off back oop north to mine for coal or some such. And what possibly would you have to take the piss out of Spurs with? We have won more, more recently and are generally a better run club with better fans. And here I was, hoping you'd been hit by a bus. Honestly just get lost - your welcome is well worn out, not that you should ever have had any since you came to this board on the wind-up from the very start.

Keep the faith lads, from the look of things on here you'd think it was 1st September and we'd only signed Sibierski. There's plenty of time left and I believe KK and co will do well by the club. Look across the Premier League and tell me who is rolling in the signings besides, er, Hull. Disregard this media vomit, if we'd signed loads of players they'd be on about our inflated wage bill. They've always got to find something negative to write about us.

Not a citizen if I could, it'd be Obama, although I really don't think he has any sort of a chance.

Some of the responses in this thread have me laughing fit to split. I can barely type straight! The "circle one" Stevie response is by far the best thing I've seen on this board. You should just copy that Stevie lad and paste it into all your posts As for the OP, get to shit you absolute mentalist.
