Oh yeah I can see what he means now (even though Crouch is crap). I doubt Crouch would like that, being on the bench a lot though, if that. I think the safest bet actually for Owen is to go on a loan move to Newcastle, and he can see how it goes and compares to the situation at Liverpool.

They're in the Champions League though and for me only Morientes is proven at that level (which he is with distinction). Mellor is a fat bastard, Crouch is untested and a streak of piss and Pongolle is a distinctly average striker. Cisse is the best bet currently to partner Morientes in Europe but I'm still pretty sure Liverpool would gladly bring Owen back now they know they're involved in CL for the medium term at the very least. By the way some sites are saying that we've 'agreed a record fee' Whats all that about? - wouldnt that suggest we're trying to sign him permanently? Probably a load of shite but just wondered if anyone was aware of any developments? 17034[/snapback] I agree with what you said there, but if Owen did sign he'd be first choice striker. Morientes would probably be happy, knowing him from Madrid. That'll move Crocuh further down the pecking order and they wouldn't sell him because he's their new striker. We know how Baros wasn't pleased at his lack of first-team football. But anyway, their main priority is a centre-back is it not?

Baros signed for villa yesterday. 17030[/snapback] Whoops I meant Cisse, as you can see below I ddn't include him.

The fact is Liverpool don't need a striker, and we could always try for Baros or Morientes (he'll be better than nothing) if Owen signs for Liverpool. They already have Cisse, Morientes, Crouch (*laughs*), Mellor and Pongolle so I doubt they'd all be pleased of Owen joined.

What's that - 18th consecutive Premiership defeat for Sunderland?

I doubt he'd favour Wigan over those clubs. And we already have the Turkish connection of Emre, which he would know.

Well Souness helped us reach the semi-final of the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup quater-final before the complete collapse against Lisbon. That was partly influenced though by the game against Villa where everything all went wrong - a day after Shearer signed a new deal and the end to Newcastle's run. It was partly the antics of Dyer and Bowyer definitely to blame.

Agree with your comments - I think Parker has made a solid job in the holding role and could attack as well. He is an excellent tackler and a player like him as what the club needs without being exposed to the defence. Despite that the defence are improving and aren't nearly as casual or sloppy as used to be. Boumsong is strong, solid and a good tackler (though yet to make a standout performance and a little slow). Taylor is potentially a future England player and has marked a significant improvement under Souness. Midfield-wise I think we should be content with. We have 3 players who should be fighting for a World Cup place in Parker, Jenas and Dyer. Emre is extremely talented and full of energy as you said, and Bowyer seems to have re-invented himself since joining Newcastle. Milner is also young fresh talent and one for the future as could be N'Zogbia.

At heart I am sure Souness is a good person. He's done good things at the club and does have respect quite a few of the players. The arrival of Souness has had positive effects on the defence and the likes of Bramble (who was regarded as a joke before) and Taylor have made great progress. But it's other immature things like having rowas with players or complaining to the referee that have been very bad decisions which he should regret in the long run. He was stupid to say Bellamy will never play at the club again, proving he has poor man to man management. I don't complain much regarding his match tactics - the team showed they could play well as a team as a team in the UEFA Cup and perfromed very good football, and some tactics pay off such as the use of Parker I think will be very useful this season.

As much as I agree with you, an interent petition wouldn't affect to Freddy, and he's not going to change his mind now.

It's not God who wates our club, it's not even bad luck, it''s the idiots' decisions to take the action they do and don't even give a shit.

Everton can't have really though they stood a chance in signing either players....

The joke of a chairman is acting as if he isn't at all interested in the progress of the club. 1.4 million the difference? For fook's sake... any club who deperately needs a striker, and is searching for someone of the talent of Luque should happily hand in that much extra unless they're in trouble financially. The clwon doesn't have a clue what he's doing and would proabbly rather spend the miniscule amounts of money we get for players (who are worth a lot more) on having a huge feast for himself.

I am sure they're glad they got passed being Mary Kate & Ashley easily enough.

I watch Neighbours, not that's it actually really good but I enjoy it. Weak acting and some awful plots IMO...

Yeah, but it's normally young players you should buy who will eventually perform really well in future seaons?

Nice list. How do you find out what players to buy though?

McCoys Malt & Vinegar or whatever it is. Oh yes...

...ah he's a CM...just what we needed. No he'd be a great buy actually, good age and wont have trouble getting a work permit (I think he has an italian one or is part italian? Something along those lines). Liverpool were interested but I think Wolfsburg wanted too much. 15905[/snapback] Oh right cheers, he would be a good buy as we need a playmaker. However the midfield is filled nicely and we have some very strong players in the midfield. We don't want a "rotation" squad like Chelsea, especially when we need forwards. But still he sounds very promising.

Ah yeah sorry, I'm a bit confused. What position does he play?

Does it mention D'Alessandro? I didn't think he played for Wolfsburg?

CONGRATULATIONS! You just earned 100 coins. Yes after countless fun stamping on enemies heads or chucking some huge vegetables with a smiley face on, you can now go up another level in health. Only the first four qualify. Oh what a disappointment, I finished 5th so I have to use up one of my three lives to reach round 57 of the tournament. Wow finally I managed it, having used up all my lives. Funny, I just noticed there are a few more than 4 racers in this race. How did the rest get there? So some braindead blonde princess dressed in pink has just been kidnapped by a huge spiky turtle/ugly man of some distant tribe. Guess what? It's up to you, yes you to save her. So even though you have nothing whatsoever to do with her and care even less, something tells you you're the only one who can because everyone else in the kingdom is a lazy sod. You've just heard reports some shady characters are going to destroy the world and someone stop them before a huge earthquake kills everyone. Your journey starts with you, a 17 year-old from a distant village and your friend whose ignorant parents back you to fulfil your quest and save the earth once more. Notice how as soon as you leave home you'll bump into some easy to beat enemies, every few seconds. Just when you’re trying to figure something out then BANG – Zombie appeared! Back to the inn you go and waste some more of your hard-earned cash just to do that again. Whilst you’re at it you may meet some attractive female to join your crew. Usually she’s absolutely hopeless except for the fact she can cast spells and heal you from her powers she inherited from the distant tribe she was brought up in. Over the course of your adventure you’ll notice certain changes and you’ve grown from a “Forksman level 1” to a “Brave Dashing Knight level 37”, with such other subtle changes that only killing monsters can do. I could add more, but can't be bothered really.

The same Lee Dixon who was a knobend and still is.

Death's a bit harsh I guess, and Bobby's a bit old. I dount Bobby will be able to handle some of the players now.

Yeah he won't have arguments with players because they called him a "twat" several days before and then badmouth his players in interviews to newspapers. He knoes what he's doing Sam, but he seems more than happy with Bolton.
