How about Heskey...far more cheaper...

for the 6+5, let's bring the english talent to Anfield now...

Carlton Cole (west ham) - equally talented to Heskey, he's maturing under Zola...

Jermaine Jenas (spurs) - why don't we use him instead of Lucas?

James Milner OR Ashley Young (aston villa) - i think both is a good prospect for english football. and why not?

Anton Ferdinand (sunderland) - a shadow for his brother. will be a good successor for Carra.

David Villa? I thought i've read rumours linking him with MU few days b4.

"Chelsea will make a £33m bid for Valencia striker David Villa - but the Spain international would prefer a move to Manchester United"

heskey, crouch, silva, villa...bah.
what we need is a good central defender.

Ask Eduardo  if Ngog didn't jump high enough

Sometimes I'm utterly despair of my fellow Lowyites.
Ngog is going to be a great player. How he is being groomed by Rafa will affect his future. He would have being hailed as MoTM but then the jingoistic ethnocentric media preferred to pan and scapegoat him for Liverpool's performance.
Why can't we understand s'times a superior team cannot win against team like Birmingham. Teams that are moulded by  the likes of Scottish managers (ala Celtic/Rangers)- not necessarily talented but full of grit and gunghos.
So are we surprised that Lee Carsley (remember Martin Taylor)  is a reflection of Birmingham's team.

Carsley  has a bad reputation and had priors with reckless challenges and being red-carded numerous times (at international level too). To cite Drogba, Iwelumo

Lee Carsley's Carnage




Wolves' Chris Iwelumo lies injured after a tackle by Birmingham City's Lee Carsley which resulted in a red card.

How many of you guys recall last year Derby where Carsley should have got a red card for a terrible challenge which would have potentially ended Torres' season.

To me he is a gun for hire. Ask yourself who knows the carded players better. A good referee is also there to protect players irrespective of colour or origin. Thats what a good referee and a good manager (ask CR7 who is his daddy) should .

LOL guys , i read the star newspaper today , and for everything in the soccer net . Why's the press so against us?

Ngog dived yes, and they posted everywhere , branding us a cheater. Why is there no such report for the current Fifa player (diver ) of the year whenever he dived? HMMMM

"King Con" screamed one tabloid, "Cheat" boomed another.

You'd think no-one has ever dived in a football match before.

Only they have, haven't they? There's Didier Drogba for starters, a man mountain who has made tumbling over at the slightest touch an art form. Then there's Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Eduardo, and, dare I say it, Steven Gerrard.

Ngog though, has dived once. Once.

So to be tearing into the 20-year-old like he'd used the steps of Soho Square as a toilet is a tad extreme.

Newspaper columnist and former referee, Graham Poll made a catchy headline for his column in Daily Mail - Diving David NGog should hang his head in shame.Throughout his article,Poll slams David N'Gog alongside with referee Peter Walton.While he has the leisure time to put on unnecessary captions for the photos of the very same article, he chose to ignore the bad tackle made by Lee Carsley.Not even a word was mentioned about the tackle.Brilliant.

Not only Mr Poll but journalists around the world want to gun down N'Gog with their pens.The media bias-ness is as disgraceful as the dive N'Gog made.

"CHEATER!"

that was the sports headline on The Star today...

if CR7 dived, the press will be quiet about it.

Believe me, he prefers a move here rather than there. With the spanish connection here, who wouldnt prefer here?
Its just that we have that "slight" problem of getting the finances to secure his move and Silva's.
Anyway, even if you bring messi, villa, any star player here, without team communication, we wont go anywhere.
Ahh.. brings back the debate early last month. Pretty opinion-related if you ask me. I would prefer a striker.

And maybe just maybe Keane should have stayed longer than 6 months. Watching the season review again makes me wonder if we had gave him enough time to gel to our style of play.

theres a difference between opinion and facts...so basically doesnt detract from the fact that our defense is pathetic right now.
so buying more strikers will obviously not solve our defensive woes.

with 6 + 5 soon to be implemented, getting an english striker wasnt that bad. i would prefer babel or ngog given more 1st team chances. forget bout voronin, he's not gonna make it here

"Barcelona were, at one time, very interested in Mascherano, but no longer. At one stage I would have said 'yes' that deal could happen, but now I would have to say 'no'.

"I would say that Barcelona do not have the sort of funds to buy either Robinho or Mascherano."

heskey, crouch, silva, villa...bah.
