Ditto



Stevie G commited his future (I personally never had any doubt), now we just need Nando to do the same and things look a good bit better, even if he goes that's a cool 80 mil to strengthen the squad.

Hopefully Gerrard bounces back this year.

As far as Fernando goes, I really want him on the team but if Chelski is going to pay an obscene amount of money for him, then I wouldn't be all that mad at him being sold.

Liverpool and Rangers have agreed to a deal which will send Danny Wilson to Anfield.

Not a bad deal.

Anyone watching the Red Bulls Crew game?

I just bought him in FM. Hopefully he pans out as well in real life as he did in FM.

Yea and Huntelaar will score 20+ goals in his 30+ starts for Milan this year, Marco Materazzi will score a 40yard screamer to beat Juventus 1-0, Victor Obinna will become a good goalscorer, 3 teams in Serie A will have 100+ bookings and double figure red cards. Good luck with Danny Wilson though.

What I wanted Liverpool to do in the off-season was to sort out the mess that is their back line and sign another striker. Torres has gotten hurt the past couple years, and Liverpool has no one to back him up. It would be like an NFL team carrying only 1 QB on their roster.

The back line has been a constant source of amazement to me. I've never seen a less cohesive group. Glen Johnson is fast and good with the ball, but his runs leave the slow-footed Carragher and Skrtel exposed. Carragher is a savvy-vet, but he needs to be paired with a quick CB to help him. Skrtel is physical, but Carragher's lack of speed leaves him in too many 1-on-1's. Agger is good, and would probably be better on a different team, but his lack of height and discipline kills Liverpool on corner kicks, which is Reina's weakness. Insua has gotten a little better, but he is also very short and doesn't have a physical presence. Playing him with Agger and Johnson is ridiculous.

As for the transfer market, it sucks that Benayoun left. Benitez gave him a raw deal from the start. He was their best playmaker other than Gerrard. And if Mascherano leaves, they have no one to replace him. It doesn't matter how many Joe Coles and Maxi Rodriguez's they sign...its about putting together a team. I really like Jovanovic, but he is unproven at the top club level. I would guess Joe Cole plays 3 games before he is done for the year.

Just though it was odd was all seeing as I signed him before I even knew we were going after him. BTW, its Aquilani who scores 40 yard screamers for me.

I have to commend Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Tottenham, Birmingham and one other club I can't remember for banning vuvuzelas.

Perhaps City should talk with the MLS instead, since they actually own his rights.
