Leaving Kightly out in place of Marcus Bent.

Commence poaching of young players!

It's a combination of rules though, FIFA and UEFA have been working to change the way players are contracted to clubs, and the compensations available to clubs for producing players. You won't see a positive effect from this for many years, but it's not a short term plan.

This is one thing Platini is very right about. His stance on development of players and using homegrown players, his stance on the financial stability of clubs, and his stance on the financial equality of leagues and clubs.

Jamie Carragher says Liverpool will struggle to win title - Barclays Premier League - ESPN Soccernet

No shit sherlock!

For truth.

 

[megadave]

lol

 

[eksdee]

should have just stopped at struggle.

that club is such a horrible waste of torres and hodgson.

 

[Everz]

Hodgson is over-rated looking at.

'Theres no money for a striker they cried'

Yet he bought in a reserve left back for 7mil. Hodgson will flop.

 

[Ch3tan]

They needed a left back probably more than a striker.

 

[Everz]

So once Torres is crocked (extremely likely) who have they got ;s?

 

[cHodAX]

M'bop

Just glad we didn't do something stupid and pay for him.

konchesky was like 2million i heard?

Lauri Dalla Valle [Liverpool - Fulham] Player exchange
Alex Kacaniklic [Liverpool - Fulham] Player exchange
Paul Konchesky [Fulham - Liverpool] Player exchange

according to beeb.... maybe + a bit of cash aswell but thiers no way it was 7 mill

 

[gohan]

to be fair this year were better off than last

ngog is more established

+ we have jovanvic as cover and have more attacking players like maxi rodriges and joe cole


we still be a hard season, but i reckon we should get CL football

 

[Everz]

I see Man City, Spurs and Everton(injuries permitting) having a much stronger squad then you. If 'pool finish 7th again that would be a successful season.

 

[megadave]

If Liverpool keep Torres, Gerrard and Reina fit throughout the whole season i reckon they'll challenge for 4th but will struggle against Man City.

If any of those 3 are out for a lengthy time they could easily end up out of the Europa league.

 

[cHodAX]

Put it this way, if both Gerrard and Torres end up out at the same time for more than a month it will be a bottom half finish. They need both players 100% for the entire season and a bit of luck as well to finish top 4.

Getting rid of those two?.. ouch, both seemed like quality youth. Dalla Valle especially.

ye but i think hes like 19 now


if u haven't made first team appearances by that age somthings amiss

same with welbeck, i think he'll be quality for sunderland, but not good enough for united and was getting to old to still be considered a future star

18 according to wiki. I think personally 21 is when they stop becoming a future star, any younger and you end up casting them aside before they have fully had chance to develop.

 

[megadave]

Marc Albrighton is 20, has only just made first team appearances for Aston Villa and looks like a bright prospect.
