arda went to atletico madrid already. anyways, what dalglish n commolli wants in our transfers are players who already proved to be a success in bpl and also value in terms of appearances and other stats. downing was present the whole of last season, adam was by far the big fish in blackpool and enrique has been a consistent performer in newcastle. if we are to go for the likes or arda turan and juan mata, it would be when we are in the champions league. not to risk 15-20mil to see them struggle with the robust environment of english football and also adapting in terms of weather, place and no winter break. for henderson and carroll, its obvious we bought them with an eye for the NEXT 5-8 years, not THIS SEASON only. heck, lucas took about 2 seasons to find his feet, back then everyone gave them stick, n now ? he's like 85% among the first name on the team sheet ? esp during big matches.

Park Chu-Young is so desperate to come for Anfield.. No fear 

Milan J. Scored for Anderlect in earlier game..

well of cuz there are exceptions to players who do well to adapt right away. example of late, suarez and chicharito in manu. remind me again, how long did cristiano ronaldo took before he got going in bpl ? if memory served me right, he took about a season or two ? robinho came to england with a big reputation, was he a success in bpl? even KD was suprised of how well suarez adapted to premier league. carra too.

hendo's main position is cm, why KD started him against sunderland on the right, well, only he and steve clarke knows. it might be tactical i guess. it is easy for you guys to say, hey buy mata, hey buy A, buy B, but we must see whether the player suits the style KD wants to play, or if the player is interested in coming. i'm quite sure mata would have preferred champs league football. as far as i've read, commoli's style in targeting players is thru statistics, and also we are looking for players who have a better injury record. hendo isnt a gamble imo, he did well last season for his home club, earning himself a call up to capello's squad.

Glad carroll subbed out. He ruined the game..

does this game show us that we have quality bench/squad depth?

Unfortunately he won't be staying as AC Milan is in contact with his agent and will be approaching us soon...their president Silvio Berlusconi confirmed it. He seems to prefer staying in Italy since his Juventus days last season.

Thats why Kenny is not naming him on the bench at all. Oh well...we're pretty packed in the midfield department anyways...don't forget Gerrard hasn't played for us this season yet, and we're looking pretty good already.

aqua loaned AGAIN

he really love Italy
