Quote: Dan_FC "Luke Young
Luke Young. British, can play both full back positions, was in the England squad last november and would be signed as back up.

I'd rather have him than Tony Hibbert. Or Gary Neville. Or Paulo Ferreira.

But yeah, it's hilarious. icon_wink.gif

Quote: windy one 2010 "Made my day did that

Another brilliantly constructive piece. Again, what do you not agree with?

The proof will be in the pudding. If anyone is willing to lay me the 2/1 the bookies are offering on Liverpool finishing top 4 I'll have £100 with the first person who takes the offer. That goes to anyone. If we're as shat as the brilliantly original smiley faces are so eloquently putting it, then there will be plenty of willing participants.

How people can write off a Liverpool team including Reina, Agger, Gerrard, Cole and Torres baffles me. Who has a stronger spine than that?

Reina Agger Gerrard Cole Torres
Cech Terry Lampard Malouda Drogba
Van De Sar Vidic Scholes Nani Rooney
Almunia Vermalaen Fabregas Nasri Van persie
Given Toure Barry Silva Tevez

Wouldn't swap you for any of them. Chelsea fans would say the same I'm sure. I KNOW our squad hasn't the depth of the rest of the top teams in the PL but there's 2.5 weeks until the start of the season and RH has shown enough so far for me to have a certain amount of trust in who he will sign.


Time will tell.

bwin are offering 11/5 with most of the other bookies having Liverpool odds on for a top four finish.

Quote: Sthelens RLFC "How people can write off a Liverpool team including Reina, Agger, Gerrard, Cole and Torres baffles me. Who has a stronger spine than that?'"

I agree that's a strong looking spine and I can only imagine it was a combination of the other players and manager that meant that that spine finished 7th last year.

No way I'd swap our spine as you put it for yours. I'd have Fletcher there instead of Scholes.

VDS> Reina
Vidic> Agger
Gerrard > Fletcher
Nani > Cole
Rooney > Torres

Nuff said.

We wont finish in the top four imo. Not good enough and with por signings like Luke Young on there way then we have no chance. Hopefully Dani Pacheco plays a big part in our season. That lad can become a star.

On a funny note. The guy that would have Van Der Sar over Reina icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif Get real.

I'd say the Arsenal, City and Chelsea ones are stronger. Along with Kirkland, Caldwell, Diame, N'Zogbia, Rodallega. icon_wink.gif

Two-time european cup winner, 3 time premiership winner. Won medals in 3 different leagues. Reina is a Barca reject who has profited due to Liverpools defensive style of play.

Oh dear. You do realise that Cole didn't play for us and Agger, Gerrard and Torres played about 50% of available games don't you?

Agger and Cole? Looks like you'll still be relying on Gerrard and Torres to me.

Only Vidic is superior to his rival of them 5. Rooney and Torres can't be split for me.

As for the City one..

Reina > Given
Agger > Toure
Gerrard > Barry
Cole - Silva......Silva has a lot to prove in the prem
Torres > Tevez.

Arsenal

Reina > Almunia
Agger > Vermaelan
Fabregas > Gerrard
Cole > Nasri
Torres > Van Persie.


Look, I know our squad isn't good enough. My point is that IF we keep our spine fit we'll be miles better than the 7th we finished last year, good enough for 4th place IMO. If the other 6 players step up and play to their potential we could possibly do a bit better. What's so funny? 2 years ago the same team give or take a couple scored 86 premiership points. The 2 main missing players Alonso and Mascherano scored 1 goal between them all season. I know teams have improved which is why I'mnot setting my sights on top 2 or 3. I'd take top 4 and I firmly believe we are capable.

How much of Agger have you seen? What don't you like about him?
Joe Cole looked fairly decent to me when he settled the Premier League title race last season. icon_wink.gif
