ay real shame, he was definatly one for the future.
would have been handy to have if that homegrown quota comes in too :p
 
Considering Gordon cost £8M, £8-10M sounds about right for Carson. Reina never gets injured so Scott would be wasted here, good bit of business tbh.
 
kiddin aint you? we got robbed if we only get 10mil for carson when gordon cost that much.. did you see the cross he let in today? hes fast becoming a scapegoat for the mackems i know haha.
 
are you both on about gordon here or carson??
from what iv seen i think carson>gordon, gordons letting in some right howlers lately..
 
Gordon is poor, he really is. I've watched every Sunderland game on TV and he hasn't impressed me at all. Really don't see why he was valued so high.
 
agreed, hes not good enough for premiership yet..

in other news, england dont qualify for euro as benayoun is now injured, with a torn adductor and will be out for about 3 weeks. all hope is lost :)
 
Carson is actually a pretty decent goalie - just needs a run of games and the quality is easy to see.

Once Foster is playing, these two should battle it out for England No1 if Robinson cant get his head right

The Israel -Russia match still has to be played, stranger things have happened (IE Isreal winning) so its not exactly "news" yet.......
 
hasn't been discussed yet so maybe most of you think it's a non issue but still:

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez's controversial media conference yesterday has been printed in full.
The Sun has broken down Benitez's tetchy performance as it emerges today he's fed-up with the lack of communication from Liverpool's American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett over transfer funds for the January market.

Benitez, who last week turned down overtures from Bayern Munich, arrived 35 minutes late for his usual media briefing. This is how he dealt with the probing:

How much will you have to spend in January?
"As always I am focused on training and coaching my team."

Are there assurances you'll have what you want?
"As always I am focused on training and coaching my team."

So what is the long-term plan?
"My plan is training and coaching the team."

Is there anything upsetting you?

"As always I am focused on training and coaching my team."

Do you have anything to say?
"As always I am focused on training and coaching my team."

Even off the record?
"No."

It's clear something is up.
"You have my answer."

You're very different from normal.
"You have my answer."

You said after the Bayern story you were happy to stay here a long time. Is that still the case?
"As always I am focused on training and coaching my team."

You're not normally late. You were obviously preoccupied by something.
"Because as always I was focusing on the training session."

Is there anything you'd like to say?
"As always I am focused on training and coaching my team."

You always say you're focused on that but usually give off-the-record answers to enquiries. How come it's suddenly changed?
"No off-the-record stuff. Nothing. I'm just focused on training and coaching as always."

You suggested you were open to the possibility of the England job. Is that something we should treat seriously?
"It's your decision. You never know what will happen in the future."

Were you serious when you answered it?
"I was serious."

One day you're looking to stay here a long time, the next who knows about the England job. That's a contradiction.
"The future is the future. Now, as always, I am focused on training and coaching my team, so I cannot say anything else. Just to keep preparing for the next game."

So what you're saying suggests perhaps the future here is in question?
"I am focused on training and coaching my team."

So who knows?
"As always I am focused on training and coaching my team."

Are you being allowed to do that as you wish?
"I am focused on training and coaching my team."

Does everyone at the club share that opinion?
"As always I am focused on training and coaching my team."



G & H press release a little while afterwards:

Liverpool co-Chairmen Tom Hicks and George Gillett have today released the following statement.
"We made a significant investment in the playing squad during the summer and desperately want this team to succeed.

"There are some very important games coming up in the next couple of weeks and all of us need to focus on winning those games and getting the best out of the players we already have at the club.

"We will leave any talk of buying or selling players until we come across to Liverpool in December and sit down with the Manager then."
 
If true how much more money does he want? He has spent a hell of lot during his time as it is and spent a fair bit in the summer as well. I remember him moaning last season about us signing Diaby and Walcott and that is real hypocritical considering how much Wenger has spent in his time at Arsenal and how much Benetiz has yet he still has the nerve to complain?
