Chatting Football

Quote: Mark "In October when both Wes and Glen Johnson were fit, Brown was starting....just dealing with the FACTS, now Wes has been injured Johnson has had his chance. With regards to the transfers, it's very easily done. Tevez and his advisor admitted firm interest from Liverpool but Tevez came out and said he wouldn't sign and you know full well that Barry was a target, keep putting smileys in your posts and denying it though. Interesting that alot of match going LFC fans are fuming with Owen signing for us, although some choose to deny it, I'm sure we will see the true reaction on October 24th.
Wes was in good form last year, but since he's been injured Johnson has firmly claimed the right back position with a lot of impressive displays. Wes was playing well in the form side in Europe, but WTF has England got to do with anything? I think Johnson is a superior right back to Wes Brown, but if you think Wes Brown's better, nice one, but it ain't a FACT that Johnson is a second choice, because he's played regularly for most of the season, and I'm pretty sure he was in the team of the season.

Honestly now, I have never seen where Joorabchian has confirmed we were interested or we'd made an offer, I remember Sky Sports saying we were apparently in the running, but if you can show me where he said we want/wanted him, then I'd happily accept that, as I might have missed it.

As for Barry, well I'd have thought if we were to sign him, we'd have let Alonso go as well. It seems from the very off this summer that Rafa and the club have been adamant Alonso isn't going anywhere. I don't remember seeing anything about us having a bid accepted for Barry, or even making a bid for Barry this year.

But even so, even if our two apparent top targets have gone to Man City, WTF does that mean? Our main target this summer is keeping hold of our stars, you've lost two of yours - one to Man City after he rejected you, yet somehow we're the ones losing our targets to Man City?

I'm not gutted about Owen, I was never his biggest fan when at the club, as soon as he left for Madrid, that's where I completely lost all interest, from then on he's been on the downward slope.
