Lol..but then they probably gonna sell the most number of players..If not, nasi lemak and satay price on board airasia to double..and increase surcharge etc to help out..

yeah..Mcmanaman and Sterling..like having Macca and Barnes on the flanks.. , Al Habsi was linked before too..hope Pepe don't leave and replaced with this guy..lol

Harry Redknapp said he can sell those high earners easily if they're relegated. So now I'm wondering what if no takers on high earners in their payroll which btw quite many as well. If I'm Tony, Harry will be screwed like no tomorrow cos playing fantasy football on limited budget

oh, while we on it, take mcCarthy from Wigan as well

Tello for Botak Pep? Didnt know that Christian boy can play goalie as well. LOL

Another winger. I cant see what's the point. Are we planning to win the League Cup or FA Cup?

too expensive some of the players..even if u can get Remy for 5mil..how many can afford his 80k weekly salary? Samba even worse..100k..only those Russians and Sheikh can afford..Let's see how easily they are offloaded..

Well, If u can outscore ur opponents then u win..so no need many defenders..Flood the team with Wingers and CM..create more chances and score..

Tello has been outstanding for Barca this season. He is definitely better than most of our present wingers.

Despite receiving so much critics from their fans, rafa Benitez still managed to bring them champions league football qualification plus yet another European cup final... As much as I hate their club, I wish rafa to win them the cup tonight to shut the fans mouth, make them eat their words...

Their fans are high society...Rafa can never fit in being a working class..hope rafa can win it...let it be Rafa's cup...if you cant join them..why not annoy them....hahaha

I personally dont think Asaidi will be off loaded...as BR did mention that he was bought for the future...just like lucas when he came from gremio...anyway....wingers is a scarce commodity in football world...and i really think that asaidi can mature into a very interesting out and out winger...unless his development stopped,..i dont see any reason why should off load him...

AS for enrique being a winger...hmmm..a no no i would say...enrique is strictly left footer...as an attacking winger...he becomes too predictable and furthermore he cant cut inside and shoot and his goal contribution is once in a blue moon...if we need midfield to contribute goals next season, then enrique is out of question...that's also the reason why downing cost so much because he is 2 footed...eventho stronger on the left..but he is equally adapt to his right..the reason he come with huge price tag is simply becos he's brit..full stop..

i wonder how come RAFA was not appointed LIV manager after KD left, instead is BR ? anyway RAFA only have himself to blame, no fans would like to be call plastic flag fans right ? and of course the fierce rivalry between our club during RAFA and JM time, most see him as a rival manager. U dont expect SAF manage MANC and getting got reception after calling them noisy neighbour

Joe Hart for keeper!!

I'll be rooting for Chelsea this time.

I, too am not keen on shifting Enrique to the wings. It wont work. He's not fast enough and like u said, he is limited only to his left foot therefore he cant cut in. He's a pretty good LB..just need to work on being stronger in the air and be more discipline in his positioning. His assets are that he is physically strong when he's shielding the ball, having a pretty good control with the ball at his feet (spanish) and he links up well with Suarez.

Downing is still an overprice prick. For me personally, he still hasn't justified his pricetag. He has somewhat redeem himself this season..but not nearly enough.

Anyway..A mock up rendered model of the redeveloped Anfield.

BR was chosen because he fits the criteria demanded by FSG. A young coach with an idea/philosophy that's in line with FSG's own vision for the club.
Its a long term project and they wanted to offload older players with high wages and reduce the overall age of the team thus increasing potential value in the future. And, they wanted a fresh face to take charge of all those changes. BR (38/39 yrs old when appointed) fitted the bill perfectly..that's all. I think Rafa was never in contention. That would be going backwards in the eyes of FSG.

Its slow and painful, but i like to think it will bear fruit in the future. We are the youngest team in the premier league thus far..at least we know some of the objectives are being achieved. With Carra retiring next season, the average will plummet further.


Also, I actually understand why Chelsea supporters hate Rafa. He deserved the hatred just for the "plastic flag/fan" remark itself. I would be 50/50 too if i were a Chelsea supporter..but I would be more inclined to support him because I wanted to see the club that i supported succeed. I wont like him 100% of course but surely he deserves some credit for whatever he's achieve in the short period he's there. He did pretty well under the pressure and being jeered by his club's own supporters every week. But i do understand.

Go away u Hart fanboy!!

stop lying to yourself. you want him too

So.. Congrats Rafa.

Yeap, congrats Rafa. Just another trophy under his belt.

Wonder if Chelsea fans would give any sort of credit to RB

dunno but some sites are saying the chap manager that gave them CL is better than rafa who help them at europa cup only.

correct me if my memory fail me - when Rafa took over they are already out from CL?
