Fierce_LiNk Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I think I agree with Hobs. We did win the league with the likes of Fletcher and O'shea in our squads, but if we had all our starting 11 fit, they would not be in there. We won the league because when our players were out injured, we had players, who were although not world class, were able to come in and do the job well. They helped, especially during instances where Scholes was banned for the second leg against Roma, or during our great defensive crisis where our entire starting back four were out. I like Yossi, and I think he will do well at Liverpool. But the point Hobs is making is that you have very little to offer on the wings, and is Yossi the answer to that? My reply would be no. I think he would do great as a second choice, who could come in when needed and do the job well, but for a team challenging week in and out, with the aim of going for the title, champions league, fa cup, I do not think he is that player.
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 As I said I'll reserve judgement, and support the player. Roll on July!
Ramar Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Yossi Benyoun is an absolutely star, his goal against Tottenham 2 seasons back made our last game at Highury even more special.
mike-zim Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 He is a massively under estimated. i am really happy to be linked with him. You will see his quality once he is playing in a better side.
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 As I said, Whenever I have seen Yossi I have been impressed. £1 Million for a player who posses alot of quality is a bargin...
mike-zim Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Yeah if it is £1m then i am really pleased with it. Ince? time will tell if he is any good as a manager.
Kav Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Considering Henry was to be going to Liverpool I won't believe anything until it's actually done! :P ...sorry, couldn't resist! hehe
The-Ironflame Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 i say come on spurs. good luck to them.down with arsenal. They say that every season and look what happens. Lost a bit of sleep recently worrying about what we gonna do now.. luckily I'm off this summer. Wenger has to sign a good striker, not to replace (you can't replace a player like Henry) but a experienced goalscorer at least not some random unproven youngster.

kyletherobot Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 barnsley's top scorer last season, daniel nardiello is set to sign for QPR. whilst i'm grateful for what he did at the end of the season, i can't help but feel insulted by choosing QPR over a new contract with barnsly, whilst im the first to admit that barnsley are hardly the most prestigious team around, i think we are a better club than QPR. oh well, i look forward to barnsley beating QPR twice next season.
Fresh Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I'll be surprised if he does. *Shudder* Adebayor, Van Persie, Walcott, Reyes (lol) ? Hardly what I would call world class.
Noodleman Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Van Persies awesome. If he stays injury free 25 goals next season at least. Edit: But yes Arsenal will sign another striker, blatantly Anelka.
Happenstance Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Atletico say no Reds Torres offer Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo says Liverpool have not tabled a bid for striker Fernando Torres. Champions League finalists Liverpool have been closely linked with the 23-year-old Spain international. "We've had no offer from Liverpool for Torres," said Cerezo. "He's on his holiday and resting. "I repeat that there has been nothing about Torres from any team. We're now working to create a good team for the coming year," added Cerezo. Torres, 23, scored 14 league goals in 36 starts this season as Atletico finished seventh in La Liga. The Spanish international's Atletico contract runs until 2009. Torres came up though the youth ranks at Atletico and has been their leading scorer in each of the last five seasons. Taken From BBC Sport
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I've heard many things reguarding Torres, I reckon he will come to Liverpool, but I believe we will know either way sometime by the end of the week. Oh and sorry you Gooners VA VA VOOOOMMM
Ramar Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Thats actually rather amusing Ant, I've saved it to show my brother, he'll probably chuckle too.
mike-zim Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Fair play. Althogh i am a liverpool fan i like the way you can laugh about it. To be honest henry has served arsenal well. He is 29 how long can he go injury free? i think he will have 2 years at barca and that will be it.

He is 29 how long can he go injury free? i think he will have 2 years at barca and that will be it. I've definitely got over the initial bitterness. My only grumble with his departure is how he used David Dein's departure as an excuse. I'm now in the respecting phase, he's arguably the best player to ever play for us. He deserves some respect. I hope he does a good job at Barca, and I hope we meet the in the Champions League Final, Henry never scores in finals .
mike-zim Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 They were planning installing an olympic size swimming pool now they dont have to pay for it.
Ramar Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 They were planning installing an olympic size swimming pool now they dont have to pay for it. I heard those wednesday boys needed a better surface for their diving.
mike-zim Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 I heard those wednesday boys needed a better surface for their diving. that is excellent. tell me was that your one?
Ramar Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 that is excellent. tell me was that your one? I made it up myself. I'm a one joke wonder, I'll have to wait another 3 years before I can crack another funny.
mike-zim Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 it was a cracker *marks calender, sets alarm, tatoos date on hand* ready for the next one
