Really doubt that Lampard story

If it is true, and Drogba off as well, I can see a couple more faces going

Must be well over two years ago you are talking about - and even before that Ronny was showing he had the skill and he needed educating in not playing Continental football

In individual matches its possible - but Pennant has never really shown anything really amazing in any great run of games imo

it's a joke, or rather it was a thread started on rawk last season about pennant being better than ronaldo that quickly became a joke.

I hope the Toure story is false. Does seem very unlike Kolo so hopefully it's the sun being **** again

Liverpool have confirmed they have secured the services of Borussia Dortmund's Switzerland international defender Philipp Degen for next season.

Great. That looks like the sort of player that'll win us the league next season :rolleyes:

If Jose is off to Inter the Lampard rumours wouldn't surprise me, still hasn't signed that contract has he?

Nzyme · 20 May 2008 at 10:59

I'd be happy if Lampard left chelsea cause Ballack plays so much better when hes not playing and Ballack is awesome and Lampard is fat and i dont really know why i care being a boro fan

He must be the replacement for Ljungberg on the physio table then. West Ham should open a physio training academy, they will never be short of test subjects.

No Rafinha then. I can only prey we get someone of quality on the right wing for attack, because if we dont, we're left with this guy and Kuyt playing above him...

Let the goals commence...

Come on, the last free transfer was a huge hit, Rafa has a proven record of bringing in these gems.

Keep your chin up.

Exciting transfer that one for the liverpool fans

DanH84 · 20 May 2008 at 11:42

i'm betting we'll have a quick flurry in the week after the cl final at united. they'll want it all done before the european championships begin.

I hope Fergie has a word with Barca and offers Pique as part exchange for Eto'o rather than just selling him. Laporta has said that he could be leaving Barca this summer.

Cool, you can play him up front with Kenwyne Jones.

eh?

and on a side note a fit eto'o would be astounding for us.

Ripper mentioned Jones being a good enough signing for you lot in another thread.

The joke is that neither of them are.

Ripper · 20 May 2008 at 11:59

I never said he was good enough. Just one of the realistic targets since he's proven in the premiership to some extent

DanH84 · 20 May 2008 at 12:14

oh heh, well he wouldn't be too far up my list of priorities it's fair to say.

Ripper · 20 May 2008 at 12:17

Nor mine, I just included him in the list of possibilities since Fergie will (I assume) want someone to come in and do a job straight away rather than building up a youngster. I think I listed him, Berbatov and Santa Cruz in the same group. Obviously would prefer Berbatov if we're to sign a premiership player. Berbatov would come in and probably rotate (playing more often than not), whereas someone like Jones would just be a Saha replacement really and just give us a different option when needed.

Eto'o would be my choice if we looked abroad though.
