Sahin will fight for a place with Shelvey since the impact that Shelvey brings when he was sub in with Arsenal. I know it is too early too judge Sahin with the performance he shows last sunday, but you can see Shelvey has more courage to shoot and create a better chance compare Sahin. Maybe Sahin needs time?

based on current performance/form i rather drop gerrad...but it'll be impossible

Downing has played at the back for Boro so I don't see what's the big hoo-haa.
Probably due to the price tag?

couldnt agree more. our captain really need to sit down and reflect of his recent performances.

Agreed, his performance for past 3 or 4 games is really below par, except at City game which he play an Okay game, not the best one. We are lucky to have Allen cover up almost all midfield area. If you noticed, last Sunday game, Allen even try to dribble the ball into the penalty box to bring create chance and bring more creativity that has been lack because of Gerrard bad performance.

if my memory serves me right both yossi and meireles were sold against their will...?

He did ok when he came on and we need a backup as Robinson still lacks the edge for the first team, so why not? If he could reinvent himself as an attacking fullback, I'm all for it.

It's not a joke and it's clear BR wasn't high either, so maybe you're the one that's missing out on something?

Don't want to say anything like that yet, afraid Captain fantastic come back and do some of his crazy Istanbul stuff, then i will regret what i have said.

Regarding Meireles, some says he is forced to leave and some says that is what he wanted to do. Still not a good thing to sell him because he is one of our natural goalscorer.

Well, Bale was converted from left back to left wing. So maybe BR wants ot do the opposite

IIRC, Merieles wanted to unite with AVB.

About captain fantastic. I think, BR knows how to play him/include him in the system. The question is whether Gerrard can adapt himself to suit with the system. For some people, it may require big effort to unlearn and relearn how to do things. For others, the transition can be smooth. I hope it is the latter.

Apparently Sinama and Heskey are also free agents apart from Owen. How did so many ex-Liverpool players became unwanted garbage over the years?

i dont think we'll be getting owen anytime soon. all reports point towards signs that we're not going to get him

life as a liverpool fan is not easy

Ok. I will be sad for 1 second. Ok..let's move on. No Mickey, No Cry.

Who else is free agent? Salomon Kalou?

Wish to have him back but very afraid if he get injured again again and again. Something that FSG dislike.

Kalou is with Lille.

call inzaghi out of retirement...hahahaha true finisher

Premier League is too pacy for this old man. He'll get murdered just like Sheva in Chelsea.

Most of our strikers WERE very good last time..lol..Heskey and Owen actually should just retire..If i had to choose one of the old guys, i would rather get Robbie Fowler back. At least Liverpool runs in his blood. haha..

Speaking of Sinama, i think not bad for a stop gap measure..He actually did very well in Spain previously. And still only 28..

Seriously, I rather BR gamble on Yesil and Morgan. Giving youngsters some chance may just bring the best out of them and it will be our gain for the long run. They score some wondergoals then they will grow in confidence.
