Jason bent is not a real footballer he is a sketch in lee nelsons well good show the reason he said to liverpool is because the characters a scouser, i also heard dr bob to be the new physio and faliraki to be where the team goes next season for pre season ;)
actualy there is a jason bent who used to play for plymouth if im correct.

Southampton fc to sign Darius Vassell tommorow from Turkish side Arkanguru. Also on his way to saints in the next week is Bristol Rovers striker Chris Lines in a deal worth around £1 million. David Connolly set to be placed on transfer list.
Chris Lines is a centre midfielder not a striker..
29 Jul 2010 22:58:12
@CHRIS:
I may not be very much "in the know" but which Sanchez are we talking about?
And as for Ozil; that boy couldn't shine the shoes of the players you're comparing him with. He's a talent (and somewhat overpriced, as talents come these days), but he has not proven anything but the fact that he can play 2 or 3 decent games during the worldcup; He's not an inmediate solution for Man Utd or for Chelsea (or any other top club); His age, pace and ball handling are a big plus, but to compare him to Messi and the likes goes a bit far, dunnit?
Top clubs are usually stacked with "prospects", be it at their academy, or in their reserves; and that's what Ozil really is, a prospect, just an overhyped one. Would you be jumping in your boots to pay 18 million for a guy whose impact youre not sure of? That's like paying 1000 euros to a hooker that you think might well.

After watching tonights Liverpool match, I have to say if I see Aquilani do another pass back instead of bringing the ball forward I am boycotting all Italian produce! Now I have that off my chest. Liverpools 'marque' signing will be Turan. No Aguero, so will certain pool fans return from cloud cuckoo land.

Ah yes, Jason Bent!
It is understood that after failing in a bid for Sunderlands Darren Bent, Liverpool have made a bid for the Red Lion's Jason Bent. The transfer fee is believed to be in the region of £5, four pints of Greene King and a packet of cheese and onion.
The signing of Jason Bent concludes a busy summer for Roy Hodgson after the signings of Milan Jovanovic, Joe Cole, Danny Wilson and Ken Aguero.

Jason Bent to LFC .. Just shows how little you know . stop talking St and giving real Kopites a bad name.
Cause I take it it is not Jason Andrew Bent (born August 3, 1977 in Scarborough, Ontario) is a former Canadian international football player. He currently works as Head Coach for TFC Academy U–18 and Assistant Coach for TFC Academy. Big step up for him then been called out of retirement and playing at a higher level that when in his prime !

I was outside Old Trafford earlier and I saw Gallas get out of a very odd shaped car with a man dressed in a CLOWN SUIT! Yes, a clown suit! They were followed almost immediately by 17 other clowns which seemed almost impossible, considering the size of the car! Although one of the clowns could have been Berbatov. They were met at the gates by Sir Alex, in his slippers, and he was sporting what I think was a comedy red clown nose and squirted Gallas with water from a fake flower that he had on the lapel of his Knight of the Realm dressing gown. This wasn't considered funny by Gallas and he sat on the curb, refusing to go into Old Trafford and sign the contract that Fergie had prepared for him. In other United news, Owen Hargreaves was asked to open a new hospital on the outskirts of Manchester but unfortunately broke his wrist when he lifted the scissors to cut the ribbon in the opening ceremony.
Roy Hodgson has declared himself happy with his opening 0–2 win in Europe, saying, 'I was wery happy with ouw win, they may not have been the most illustwious opponents but my boys came away with a cwacking wesult that we can take back to Anfield'. In other Liverpool news, Joe Cole has put in an order for a pair of top quality ear–plugs until he can adjust to playing in front of a crowd of supporters who actually know how to support their team and make some noise.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been spotted dating none other than Caster Semanya, the athlete who was at the storm of the gender controversy that recently rocked the world of athletics. Caster, whose name is ironically an anagram of YES, A SECRET MAN is said to be delighted with finally capturing the other famous ladyboy of sport. Wayne Rooney is disgusted that Ronaldo is having sex without having to pay for it, whilst Ribery butted in to say it is okay if you pay with Jelly Tots and Chocolate Buttons.
Oh, and in other news, Indian tycoon Mukesh Ambani has been spotted in Liverpool tonight, in all seriousness, he is secretly delighted to have been told that his bid is the leading bid and due diligence is the only thing between Liverpool FC returning to their glory days.

Arsenal are in talks with Fernando Gago of Real Madrid in a proposed £8 million bid for the defensive midfielder. His signing could be important and means Arsenal would not have to play denilson or song. Phew.
That is dumb. Not only the rumour but the fact that you're relieved that Song wouldn't be playing! Did you watch any Arsenal game last season?
People also need to stop saying they know who Arsenal are signing, because no one truly knows apart from Arsene Wenger himself.

Ken Aguero has just been spotted leaving the toy box. He was spotted in a barbie car with barbie herself. Apparently he was meeting with spongebob about moving in with him. Barbie doesn't want to live under the sea tho so this move could fall through. Would love to see Sergio at the club but just don't see it happening. Think the best we could hope for is darren bent on the budget rh has. Think scharner would be a good utility player. I also think pacheco really needs to stay at pool. He's going to be brilliant.

Why has nobody put in bids for the most highly rated players so far i mean
Oezil 20M max
Sanchez 25M max
i mean take chelsea offer around 18M for neymar but Oezil is there for the picking does it make sense Rafa at inter has cambiasso but instead of going for a player at 21 years old and the brightest talent on the planet bar Fabregas, Messi, i would have Oezil over ronaldo any day. though i think the best young talents in prem are Obertan, Wilshere, Ramsey, Pacheco, Rodwell, jonjo, Gibbs, Lansbury, Kelly, Rafeal, Fabio, Kakuta so for the respective clubs to let them run riot all season would be very interesting and refreshing to watch instead of pouring millions into positions not needed mufc don't need a striker the have enough but need a great playmaker , Liverpool have to great spanish strikers but need a good Lb, Chelsea sound but could use a playmaker with pace Arsenal need a top class Gk and a big CB to partner Verms close market unless a DM comes along to cover song
so would make sense
mufc.Sanchez close shop
cfc.Oezil close shop
lfc.abidal and Bastos batos can cover a LB or LM/LW
afc.Lloris, Hangleand or Mertasacker maybe Melo

Hi Ed,
I like the development of the Believable/Unbelievable option, but might I suggest adding a third option. It would be called something like "Knob'ed", or other such broad epithet deemed best suited by yourself.
As for the rumours, can anybody enlighten me as to why Liverpool would bid close to £3million for another right back, when there are three (four if you count Carragher) at the club already?
Furthermore, are Liverpool really going to go in for a top–drawer striker, therefore playing two up front? I doubt it. They'll likely play 4–2–3–1, assuming they can find a holding midfielder to replace Mascherano.
If, as seems likely, Gerrard is played in a more withdrawn role, he will become frustrated (particularly if we're not winning – plus he would be a liability back there due to his weak reading of the game [he needs a free role because he lacks tactical/positional discipline], tendency to switch off for protracted periods, and history of very poor tackles when playing deep in his younger days). Could he possibly seek a move in the January window?
To finish, can anybody tell me why Aurelio was released, and if he is still without a club why we can't re–sign him? It seems more sensible than throwing good money at Bridge or bringing back Riise. Thanks. {Ed the ball's note – Gerrard weak? Not in my book. Aurelio was just too injury prone and turned down a pay as you play deal. Riise was released at the right time and Wayne Bridge is positively awful at his best. As for the Luke Young rumour, I seriously doubt we are the team who bid for him}

SAF, of course, has near–immortality status at OT, and I understand why, but kicking the supporters for asking questions of those yanks, and NOT investing any significant Ronaldo–money or other funds in reinforcing the team with some big names, does not go over well.
He's saying he's not done yet, and he doesn't know when he will be. He's built a legacy that demands admiration; but for all the labels of "smart old fox" and "he's always in the know", he's making some puzzling decisions. Doesn't want to overpay (but had no problem with overcharging for Ronaldo), doesn't want to go after targets the hard and direct way; Just like AW, he's looking more and more like a field marshal who's been subjected to the will of the crazy dictators; he's being stripped and says "thank you" afterwards. He can sugartalk about the Glazers as much as he wants, and wrap his BS in a golden box for the ignorant press, but some people are gonna question his sound jugdement sooner rather than later, if not already.
..
Totally agree with you, you are not the only one to question him. SAF cannot complain about prices when he started the inflated market by selling Ronaldo for £80M. If it isn't the Glazers holding the money back what is it? How can we go into a season where we will again rely on the ageing legs of Scholes to run midfield. Part of SAF problem is he can't ever admit he has made a mistake. Anyone who watched Berbatov last season knows he is not up to standard but SAF is starting to feel the criticism of people who would say he has made an error and can't get rid. How can we go in to a season where our midfield just cannot dominate games and how has it improved since we lost to Barcelona 15 months ago? Why is he letting Gibson, Park and Berbatov block the likes of Cleverly. He keeps those yet sends out Cleverly on loan, why? His defence of the Glazers is unexplainable, we were debt free yet now we are laden with it. The new bond means that if there is enough profit the Glazers can take dividends, that is our money! Instead of going to buy players and improve the ground(hasnt that gone quiet!) it will disappear. What happened to Fergie the shop steward, who fights for what is right? We need players to improve the team, where are they Sir Alex?

liverpool fc under RH will go back to the way that lfc used to be run..quietly and efficiently and no bs
as for the takeover..only a select few know what is happening so everyone on here that states they have "exclusive info" are basically driving the wrong way down a one way street

Hi all
heard from a friend of mine that liverpool have been takenover by a group called temasek holdings from singapore , i checked it out on wiki and all it said was that they had agreed a deal to take over one of the worlds biggest football clubs in the world and the deal would be done by the end of aug this has since been removed from wiki but wanted to know if you had heard anything ed regarding this i do no any one can edit wiki cheers {Ed the Ball's note – Well i wonder what several LFC posters on here could speculate in that?}

Well if united arent planning to sign a CAM than we should try playing berbatov as a CAM behind rooney..if you have seen berbatov play it makes sense..what do u think ed ?
Thanks.. Gonne {Ed the Ball's note – You seriously can't ask me that! I don't think it would work. Berbatov just doesn't work hard enough for starters}

Sorry mate but he's off to Sociadad on loan..Redallover {Ed the Ball's note – Don't spoil his day! He's been the star of the Under 19's so that may have upped his profile and given Hodgson food for thought at least. If he can't get in now, he never will}

GTID – I STAND CORRECTED MY LITTLE THISTLE FLOWER, YOU WOULD GET 22M EXTRA IF YOU JOINED THE EPL, BUT I STILL DISAGREE WITH YOU ABOUT CHALLENGING THE BIG TEAMS, EVEN IF YOU IMPROVED YOUR REVENUE BY 40–50M I BELIEVE YOU WOULD STILL BE A YO YO CLUB BETWEEN THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND DIVISION ONE! LOOK AT NEWCASTLE THEY HAVE A FOLLOWING JUST AS BIG AS YOURS AND THEY ARE AN AVERAGE TEAM!
22 million more no it would be lots more than that, why are you constatly arguing and making yourself out to be an idiot! it has been proved it would be lots more, your tv deal is worth 1.4 billion ours is worth 65 million and that lasts over a longer period of time, also if you add sponsorship deals, shirt sales, season ticket prices and countless other things it adds to more than 22 million. The team who wins the championship play off gets something ridiculous that is much much more than what we get and that's not even the top league.
p.s. celtic fans stop with the ronaldinho rumours, it is clearly just a bitter angry man trying to deflect attention away from his sides wowful performance last night.

Fresh news on the Ken Aguero saga..
I work as a male escort in Liverpool and was hired by Ken last night as he attended a prestigous police line–up at Copy Lane. When we returned to the nearby Travelodge for 'extras' later on I caught sight of his new SIGNED contract written on a subway napkin. I can confirm he has signed for Everton on an unprecedented 20 yr deal for 2 crates of crabbies ginger ale and a 10% discount card for Burger King. Signing on fee was a sugar doughnut. Everton had to bash out a few deals to get his signature as Ken quote "despises that crap" chang beer.

To Blair Mayne, very glad you found my assessment of your post to be an irritation. Now you know what no doubt many on this site think about your takeover opinions. For those new to this site let me introduce them to Blair Mayne's takeover theory. According to Blair LFC were taken over back in May and the new owners were awaiting the end of the world cup when they would then use Hicks and Gillette as cover so that they would not have to pay over the odds for players. Yes Blair also believe in aliens. Reality Red

Is SAF getting ready for a boardroom position with First Allied Corp (Glazers)? He talks them up as if they were Fairy Godmothers who can't do anything wrong and pass out candy to the kiddies every saturday. Glazer, Steinbrenner (may de devil receive him with loving arms), Hicks and their ilk are a pest for european football and sports in general; They approach football clubs like they do some obscure company they buy; strip the assets, charge with debt, write offs to the moon, tax breaks for "investing"; wot good have they been, with all their business savvy?
SAF, of course, has near–immortality status at OT, and I understand why, but kicking the supporters for asking questions of those yanks, and NOT investing any significant Ronaldo–money or other funds in reinforcing the team with some big names, does not go over well.
He's saying he's not done yet, and he doesn't know when he will be. He's built a legacy that demands admiration; but for all the labels of "smart old fox" and "he's always in the know", he's making some puzzling decisions. Doesn't want to overpay (but had no problem with overcharging for Ronaldo), doesn't want to go after targets the hard and direct way; Just like AW, he's looking more and more like a field marshal who's been subjected to the will of the crazy dictators; he's being stripped and says "thank you" afterwards. He can sugartalk about the Glazers as much as he wants, and wrap his BS in a golden box for the ignorant press, but some people are gonna question his sound jugdement sooner rather than later, if not already.

"ArSeNaL NeWs
DeFeNsE
Per Mertesacker of Werder Bremen is looking more and more likely to sign for us, likely to be in the region of 12m and 15m. if this deal falls through then Arsene will go for Serdar Tasci of Stutgart.
GoaLKeePeR
Federico Marchetti of Calgiari is also looking more and more likely, and the fee would be about 5m. If this deal falls through Wenger will turn his attention ton Maarten Stekelenburg of Ajax.
What are your thoughts Ed?
GlasgowGunner"
– You quite obviously believe everything you read, the reason Arsene Was trying to sign Schwarzer was because he is at the age where he can give 2–4 good seasons which by that point Sczezny would be ready to take over as first team, by signing someone such as Marchetti or Stekelenburg it will stop the development of Sczezny as both of them can give atleast 10 good seasons! meaning the future number one in Sczezny won't get the playing time and won't develop, expect an 'older' keeper or not one at all.

AT LAST some true banter!!
You know the deluded big team that have won the leauge title less times than Huddersfield and always, nearly, sometimes, occassionaly win something when the year ends in 1.. Not 71 because a certain arsenal did the doulble (first of three) not 2001
Yes Arsenal have won Fk all over the last 5 years, not every year as you say, but have still won more than you ever will.. History you will answer, well so was your last win Moron.
Would you rather sit in your hole of a ground with 35000 other morons, or in comfort in a 60000 stadium (full every match) and watch some decent football.
What else do you have to crow about? how many managers you have sacked in the last 10 years! How you just escaped relegation several times? or dodgy Lasagne Ha Ha Ha.
Yes Fabregas will go, if not this year, then next.so what, great player, great servant for the club, but wants to go home, good luck to him.
If Fabio Cappello gets the sack however, Harry will be gone as well won`t he.. Thats how much he loves you dckhead.
Before you try and belittle a far superior club, look in the mirror, 1 reasonable season shouldn`t mean that all you bottom feeding scum suckers come out and start talking about being a big club again.
Let me ask you a couple of questions–
1/ Where were you when spurs last won the league (you do not need to name the milkmans sack you were still in by the way!)
2/ do you have a picture of it (the leauge title not the milkmans sack)
3/ Is it in black and white? or did you colour it in with your crayon set.
4/ Are you embarressed that you have won the league title less than huddersfield
5/ Are spurs looking to move to the olympic stadium in east london as they are fed up being the third best team in north london?
6/ What number shirt is the russian donkey that harry has signed going to wear?? (strange really as you already have 1 russian donkey)
Any way live on with your 5–1 wet dream, i would recall some off the arsenal scores back to you, but i don`t think the editor would appreciate me taking up so much of his pages.

Why do people keep worrying about the home grown rules?
arsenal have 13 home grown players. YES! 13, they don't have to be english, they just have to of joined the club at 17. Denilson, Gael Clichy, Nicklas Bendtner, Fabregas, song, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Kieran Gibbs, theo walcott, djourou, mannone, szcznesy.
AND, the 25 man squad, only needs to consist of players over 21.
so walcott doesn't have to be in the squad to play.
stop worrying people. its not as bad as it sounds. and arsenal are not going to buy to get more homegrown players. they will buy for quality. which is why mertesaker will not be bought. neither will richards (even though i would LOVE to see him at arsenal)

–
mgeady isn't going to spartak for the same reason pletikosa is leaving, 3 foreigner rule in russian football.
Valery Karpin has allready denied any interest in mcgeady. this story is a ruse to invite offers from epl clubs, no–one is interested at the price celtic are quoting, little wonder for such a limited player.
as for pletikosa the deal to take him to spurs was done last year but was put on hold due to injury, he will have an extensive medical before clinching a move to White Hart Lane after the squad returns for pre–season training on July 5.
clearly your having a bad time with your rookie manager and cast of thousands of very poor players but this is a transfer rumour site. not need for your bitter rhaging rant at rangers fans

Mancini is apparently "upset" by the 30–40% markups that teams charge when they sell to City; In other words: As City's ownership is considered to be a retarded clueless benefactor, which will pay whatever people ask for, it's being approached just so.
Now, City must get rid of a number of players, to meet the 25 player squad in time, which means there will be a fire–sale, the likes of which the EPL has never seen; I predict heavy discounts / losses for players such as Ireland, Santa Cruz, Bridge, even de Jong, and many more. Not that they care, but City will be the salvation for several understaffed clubs, looking for good talent at affordable prices. The wages may be a problem, but what choice do you have as a City millionaire, when you're about to be demoted to the reserves; you take a paycut eventually to play first team football and stay on the radar of the bigger clubs.
City is the only true driving force for the transfer market today; everybody else is waiting who will lower his prices first or for City to move first; Inter will not dish out the asking price for Masch, if Balotelli doesn't get bought first by City; Liverpool is waiting for Inter, so that they can get started; United is trying to keep their plans under wraps for fear that the crazy Eastlanders outbid them; Arsenal is hanging onto their knickers (Fabregas) whose departure would eventually cuase the greedy economist Wenger to look for discounts at City; Chelsea is trying (once again) to fence of the Eastlands for being after the likes of Drogba; Villa can't do anything until the Milner deal goes through. Imagine if City would decide to say "we're ok as we are" (which of course they won't); 70% of the proposed deals would not go through.
So Mancini will have to suck it up, while he decides to spend 30–35 million on a stubborn child like Balotelli, or while he tries to raise the transfer record for Torres (not to be done); he'll buy whatever the retards upstairs will let him, and they'll ignite the transfer market.
And Roberto has to, because if he doesn't get to the top 3 or 4, he'll be out of a job..if he lasts that long.

Arsenal are in talks with Fernando Gago of Real Madrid in a proposed £8 million bid for the defensive midfielder. His signing could be important and means Arsenal would not have to play denilson or song. Phew.

How is your season shaping up, couldn't spare us a centre back could you? What about a keeper? what a choice you have there not even 1 top class keeper? Moving on to midfield, even if you keep fabregas this year, you know the clock is ticking, who've you got to replace him? Not to worryugh them ar5ena1 kids will get you through. no wait a minute aren't these the same kids that are now 20 years old or older and playing in your first team?
Let me see who is there? Ramsey Wilshere, Nasri, Arshavin, Diaby, Song, Rosicky, Denilson, Eastmond, Frimpong, Lansbury, Walcott, emmanuel–thomas all play in midfield Plus fabregas are midfield very strong mate don't worry bout us worry bout ur own and clean sheet in every friendly 4 a team with no defence or keeper so what is your point mate

Hodgson had £15m to spend, he has spend a total of £3.7m(shelvey and wilson). £12m left
£12m+the £15m from the sales of riera benayoun insua+an estimated £30m for masch= £57m for hodgson to spend.
liverpool will sign sergio aguero for £35M and antonio lopez for £10m totalling £45m.babel will go in the opposite direction which could bring the price down by at least £7m
another midfielder will be bought expect petrov from aston villa for £8m–£10m
the leftovers of around £11m–£13m will either be used for the januuary window or go towards paying off the clubs debt.

Now I think he should retire, don't know about the rest of you. Maybe he'll accept me as a friend and I'll get the inside gossip on his future??
29 Jul 2010 19:39:02
Must admit hearing all these rumours of teams trying to sign players for 2 and 3 million makes me a bit jealous. me being a dundee united fan haven't experienced a big player coming to a small club .but then again maybe that's a good thing cause united haven't a lot of debt but last year united had a very good season finnishing 3rd and winning the scottish cup and by doing so qualifying for the europa cup so when you've been a fan of a club for as i have been after they've had as good a season as they've had you would think that just maybe just for once they would push the boat out and try and bring in a big player im not saying messi or ronaldo but maybe a player like robbie fowler or someone of his sort of celebrity stature. not that he would do a better job than any of the boys that are already there but would at the very least lift the moral of the team for there european adventure .but the truth behind united our biggest goal from season to season is holding onto the players weve got so me looking at these transfer rumours is pure dreamland .VERY MUCH BELIEVABLE.

To the bloke who put this :I work at closley with the agents finding new homes & cars etc at LFC.
Outs:
Masch – Already vacated his apt and removed his little girl from nursery.
Maxi – Exactly the same
Insua – Not sure, but he has had his chance to impress and not come up with the goods.
Torres – Going nowhere, just the press banging its drum. He is all over the clubs new shirts promos.
Pacheco – delighted with new boss and will happily sit on the bench.
Ins:
Banega – Due to Melwood next week.
This is concrete.
i agree with everything your saying but i have a source nothing concrete that's says Ever Banega is keen on a move but ideally would like to be there with another argentine. I hope torres stays but him promoting the shirt means nothing as last year Alonso modelled the away shirt and left 3 weeks later.

Red Lenin, I can say that I've talked to some people who are actually involved with the takeover deal and I can tell you first hand that there is two offers under reveiw, and it's not just under scrutiny from the club but also vice versa, because by all accounts tom hicks is still hard balling.plus the fa will also need see if the would be owners will pass the "fit and proper" person criteria etc.
I've stated who these are, one may have to be scrutinized further with a possible conflict of a sibling, but the fact that he is married to the other "would be owners" daughter seems to not present a problem.football ownership, it's a funny old game:)
Anyway also noted the post about miss stavely, very interesting but expect her departure to another country within a week, but more importantly people is to examine those that are arriving to this country within the next week or so.
Very interesting times coming here soon.

Red Lenin, I can say that I've talked to some people who are actually involved with the takeover deal and I can tell you first hand that there is two offers under reveiw, and it's not just under scrutiny from the club but also vice versa, because by all accounts tom hicks is still hard balling..plus the fa will also need see if the would be owners will pass the "fit and proper" person criteria etc..
I've stated who these are, one may have to be scrutinized further with a possible conflict of a sibling, but the fact that he is married to the other "would be owners" daughter seems to not present a problem..football ownership, it's a funny old game:)
Anyway also noted the post about miss stavely, very interesting but expect her departure to another country within a week, but more importantly people is to examine those that are arriving to this country within the next week or so.
Very interesting times coming here soon.

"Petrov and L.Young to liverpool in a straight swap for Babel
why on earth would liverpool swap a promising winger for two players pretty much past it?!
i'm sure the management have more brains than to do anything like that. i hope"
I think the question is, why would Villa swap two quite talented players for an utter crap player who has done nothing in his years for Liverpool. Villa have no want of Babel and he's not worth 10m. {Ed the ball's note – Haven't Villa taken a lot of our cast off's in previous years? :)}

TO THIS GUY.
I work at closley with the agents finding new homes & cars etc at LFC.
Outs:
Masch – Already vacated his apt and removed his little girl from nursery.
Maxi – Exactly the same
Insua – Not sure, but he has had his chance to impress and not come up with the goods.
Torres – Going nowhere, just the press banging its drum. He is all over the clubs new shirts promos.
Pacheco – delighted with new boss and will happily sit on the bench.
Liverpool own, NOT lease, OWN, many houses on the wirral, and would not therefore need to rely on agents to fill the housing void, plus!! if ANY player comes to lfc, the club, if needed, would purchase or rent a house from a reputable agency, not one who at the drop of a hat would be posting on a rumours forum, and they would only deal with ONE agency, and i can guaruntee it certainnly wouldn't be yours, and even if in the slightest it was , i can tell you your contract will end in the morning. Also mascherano was not living in an apartment, it was a house! i love this site dearly, i am on every morning and night after work, but sum of the sensless cr+p that is put on here by people who think they have a bit of an angle is..shall we say frustrating.
don't pretend to be something your not, i don't cum on here with rumours of this and that, nor do i profess to be "in the know", i love my club, plain and simple, warts and all, but reading sum of the drivell posted infuraiates me no end. especially when your angle is in the property market, which on the wirral, i know very well, and theres not that many people who join lfc that don't live on the wirral..happy birthday ed i luv this site, gis a job! go ed i can do dat!

To Blair Mayne, very glad you found my assessment of your post to be an irritation. Now you know what no doubt many on this site think about your takeover opinions. For those new to this site let me introduce them to Blair Mayne's takeover theory. According to Blair LFC were taken over back in May and the new owners were awaiting the end of the world cup when they would then use Hicks and Gillette as cover so that they would not have to pay over the odds for players. Yes Blair also believe in aliens. Reality Red

People keep posting Crap basically whilst there is an element of truth in some of them.
I recently sent an email to the Arsenal website, attention of Arsene Wenger. Questioning the possibility of Thierry Henry coming on loan during his winter break. To have a response from his PA saying that she will pass it on to Arsene when his back from Austria.
How amazing would this be!! If it happens, thank me!!

BREAKING NEWS
After his French legal adventure I can add to the long running KEN aguero saga.
I was walking past the Courts of Justice on The Strand in London this morning and whom should I spot but KEN Aguero getting out of blacked out Merc S Class with some suited men and a bloke with black cape and grey wig. KEN was holding his passport and a used EasyJet Paris boarding pass in one hand and a baguette in another.
Interested I followed them to Court 22 and sat in the public gallery. I was astounded in what I heard. KEN was applying for super injunction against the The Sun. The truth is that detests beer and his beverage of choice is Pol Roger Brut Réserve. Being such a Champagne Ken is far removed from the Sunday Pub League where he plies his trade. The biggest shock was to follow was that the only crisps that he will only indulge in a rare variety known as Pipers "Bloody Mary" flavour. Indeed that was why in was in that Liverpool Hotel Foyer was to buy a black market box of 48 packets from a bloke he only knows as Scatty. If all this came out then he would be finished as Z list celebrity.
Not to miss out on this scoop I phoned my mate Richard Head at the Daily Mail, who whilst can not report the details has had already sent his office boy to Brigg (Pipers HQ) to buy the Company out of the Bloody Mary flavour so they can give their readers the opportunity to live the high life. They have already got Alex Curran (wife of Steven Gerrard) bothers wife's nephews boys dog to spearhead the campaign. The dog was specifically chosen because a mate of mate from his local in Billericay said the dog, called Pavlov, actually drooled when presented with the savoury snack in question – but there is a slight hitch the dog does not actually like the crisps – a case of rumour being completely groundless (because the dog in question drools at anything placed in front of it). However Richard Head continued to note that he will not let such an inconvenience of untruthfulness to spoil such a promotion that is in the public interest.
As an aside he also told on a local level Manchester Evening News is running a counter promotion relating to Prawn Sandwich's delivered to your door by some older age ladies scantily dressed. There is the option should you need discretion from your Partner then you can indulge at their premises but be aware of the Freelance Photographers.
All this has upset some bloke from some posh suburb of London – who was hoping to run his own promotion of a new dish that is chicken placed in regional dish from Merseyside that is a variation on a Lamb Stew. The recipe having been passed down from his maternal side of the family.

In response to: "With regards to the sky sports news story abouut david james and bristol city how can certain people come on here and say he knocked back celtic in favour of bristol city when he never even held talks with celtic.celtic have been linked with a better standard of goalie today in the daily record his name is stipe pletikosa there maybe some truth in this as his current club (spartak moscow) are keen to sign aiden mcgeady.p.s note to all rankers scummy fans champions league is a bonus for us this year spl is the priority and the way your club is going we won't need to be that strong to beat you lot. so enjoy your moment scum believe me it won't last.the thunders coming hail hail.paulbhoy"
Spat the dummy mate? Rangers are in Dire financial circumstances. As a fan, in my opinion, the Champions League revenue will be far more important for us than adding to our tally of leagues. I respect Lennon, he has passion. But he is setting himself up for the same fate as Mowbray.
Teams take time to gel. Walter Smith may be quiet in the transfers department right now, but to be honest, he's probably just patiently waiting for the endless parade of hasbeens and "might–be's" that you guys are plastering everywhere. Yes there have been some quality ex–premier league players linked, but I doubt any of them will sign, especially without Champions League football.
Now onto rumours, realistic ones. (Gattuso? Ronaldhino? Lol.)
Names I've heard thrown about have been:
Craig Moore, Alan Hutton, John Utaka, Bongani Khumalo, David Healy, Obertan, Wellbeck, Benaloune, Beattie, Conway, Goodwillie. Obviously not all of these can come, but in my opinion, the small amounts of news we get from Rangers may just be a smoke screen. I reckon Walter is leaving it late to get players sneaky and cheap.
Realistically we haven't lost anyone major, people forget that Boyd was injured in Dec/Jan and when he came back he only scored once or twice before the close of the season, Miller done at least 70% of the work. Danny Wilson was a blow, but we still have Bougherra, Webster, Weir, Papac, Broadfoot. All of whom play this one position, £5mill was a good bit of business.
P.S to the guy who was saying about Liverpool selling Crouch. I have a spare copy of Football Manager 2010 if you wanna catch up on the year you missed? :P
29 Jul 2010 17:40:52

One season Spurs get into the top four and already their fans are singing about pushing Arsenal out–your almost as deluded as your manager thinking you can win the title! A bit of history for you Spurs fans.everytime a 'pundit' or commentator has written us off as past it and redundant and we've been apparently certain to drop out of the top four we have proved them all wrong and been in the Champs League consistantly over the last about ten years. Write us off at your peril.
Write us off at your peril!! really? just our periless will it be for us, if you do what you do every year and win f#ck all
How is your season shaping up, couldn't spare us a centre back could you? What about a keeper? what a choice you have there not even 1 top class keeper? Moving on to midfield, even if you keep fabregas this year, you know the clock is ticking, who've you got to replace him? Not to worry though them ar5ena1 kids will get you through.. no wait a minute aren't these the same kids that are now 20 years old or older and playing in your first team?

RE : Was on the man u tour and seen darren bent leaving with another man in a suit
This rumour was circulating earlier in the summer and thankfully stopped! This is a transfer that will certainly NOT happen, just need to look at the details. Firstly put a side the fact that Bent simply isn't good enough for United.. there is a more significant reason this won't happen.
Darren Bent is now in fact the stepfather of Fergie's grandchildren. Bent recently married the ex–wife of Fergies son Darren Ferguson. The concerned woman had placed allegations of domestic violence against Ferguson junior prior to the divorce, hence needless to say the families no longer get on.
Sir Alex will not buy Darren Bent. Moreover Alex is genuinely surprised by the standard Hernandez has already demonstrated and is going to give him a chance.. no more strikers will be brought in the summer window.

Nicky Shorey is in talks with Liverpool, a bid of around £2 million has been accepted by Aston Villa, he will be used as a back up left back.
This will likely be the most appealing move to Nicky, as the only other offer on the table is dropping down to the Championship to play for Forest.
Nicky is 29 at the minute, and will most likely be looking to sign a long deal with a club where he can retire at.
Nice to see the lad would rather sit and warm the bench rather than play every week , if true then this is just another case of pure greed.{Ed the Ball's note – if he ended up at LFC he'd warm seat 37 – row J of the main stand!}
29 Jul 2010 17:47:42
Why is Liverpool being linked with every single Villa player? L.Young, Milner, Reo–Coker, A.Young, Petrov, and now Shorey? What gives?
Haven't seen this rumour on here yet, so thought I'd post.. Hamsik has been linked, transfer fee a huge stumbling block. Don't quite believe this myself, but thought I'd share.

GTID – I STAND CORRECTED MY LITTLE THISTLE FLOWER, YOU WOULD GET 22M EXTRA IF YOU JOINED THE EPL, BUT I STILL DISAGREE WITH YOU ABOUT CHALLENGING THE BIG TEAMS, EVEN IF YOU IMPROVED YOUR REVENUE BY 40–50M I BELIEVE YOU WOULD STILL BE A YO YO CLUB BETWEEN THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND DIVISION ONE! LOOK AT NEWCASTLE THEY HAVE A FOLLOWING JUST AS BIG AS YOURS AND THEY ARE AN AVERAGE TEAM!
Re: Well as I said that revenue is purely tv revenue and aint taking into consideration any other increase. Re–read my post, I said that even then it would not be guaranteed that we would be challenging for the league or qualifying for europe. What i said is that we would have the means to challenge whether we would or not is purely hypothetical. What is pretty much guaranteed is that we would be in the top 6–8 earners in the league (again it doesn't gurantee success but it does help). ps newcastles domestic following maybe be close to ours (we still ahev more) but our foreign fan base is far bigger. Besides everyone knows that Newcastle are the sleeping giants of the english game. They have never lived up to their potential. Your Division 1 and championship mention is just juvenille however and obv just nonesense. to say that a team with an increase in revenue of around 40 –50m a year would be in division 1 is just childish and puts ur arguement into perspective.

Crystal Palace have announced the signing of Derby County goalkeeper Lewis Price on a Bosman free transfer on a two–year deal.
Palace to announce the capture of Tony Capaldi from Cardiff City on a Bosman free transfer on a two–year deal.
The Eagles will also complete the £250,000 deal for Ipswich Town midfielder Owen Garvan before the end of the week.
Palace to also pursue their search for a defensive midfielder after missing out on Barnsley's Hugo Colace. Trialists David Baiocco, Velice Sumulikioski, Alexsander Radosavlijevic, Ali Fuseini and Charlton Athletic midfielder Jose Semedo are being closely watched.
Finally, Palace want to make loan moves for Chelsea duo Ryan Bertrand and Scott Sinclair, as well as Mark Randall and Henri Lansbury from Arsenal. Burley will probably only try to sign one of these players as they are very unlikely to happen. Newcastle United striker Nile Ranger and West Ham United striker Zavon Hines are more realistic targets. Manchester City left back Ryan McGivern is an option, but Burley is likely to drop interest when Capaldi signs. Bertrand would only be signed if made available and used a left midfielder.

Whittingham may go to forest if they stump up most of it up front..as he has not signed a new contract and has a year left and Cardiff do not want another Ledley situ.
There may be another Maklaysian investor coming on board ..the embargo should be lifted soon but perhaps not by the season kick off, ..once it is lifted Cardiff will get in 3–4 loans or free agents.

that could have been anyone! maybe someone who just looks like ronaldinho, i mean he is a pretty plain looking guy. he has no distinctive features whatsoever..
but anyway why the hell would ronaldinho want to live in glasgow? let alone play in the spl! he could play on his own and still win the league hands down, even though he is well past his best!
29 Jul 2010 17:03:49

ITS NOT AN EDUCATED GUESS THAT PREMIERSHIP TEAMS GET 24.7M FOR TV REVENUE, ITS FACT!
ITS NOT AN EDUCATED GUESS THAT RANGERS AND CELTIC RECEIVE 14M FOR TV REVENUE, ITS FACT!
Re: ok then since u are gonna spout absolute tosh i spent 5 mins digging up the "FACTS".
"Scottish Premier League clubs have agreed a £65m deal over three years with Sky and ESPN to screen a total of 60 live matches each season. The new deal is worth half of what they would have received from a four year deal struck with Setanta." Ok hobo since ur have proved u aint got a clue Ill break this down for u,
£65m over 3 years works out £21.6m per year for all 12 clubs. Each club would therefore get £1.8m per annum (21.6m/12=£1.8m) just for you dunderheid! Quite a fair bit less than 10m would you not agree?!
and as I said that is before you even consider improved gate receipts, increased season book prices and improved sponsorship deals (both shirt makers and shirt sponsors.
Argue they FACTS then son (Go on at least try, cheer me up in work)

n e way, his name is EVER BANEGA, and considerin he is only 22, alredy startin 4 valencia wit the promis of champions league footy ahead, y wud he leav. and reli m8, 4 only 5 mill, in 2days market, ud b lookin at 15 mill, wich u don't hav so sori but never goin2 happen.
gooner23.
Firstly before slating someone else's spelling at least type correctly you muppet.
and actually MATE he has a release clause in his contract of 8.5mil. Explain to me how Liverpool can't afford him again? We have so far spent 2mil and Rafa's pay off of 4mil. We have 15mil pot on top of Yossi, Riera, Insua and Masch money = Roughly £49mil with only £6mil spent
Also in Valencia's current financial situation (dispite recent sales) they WOULD consider selling.
Expect to see a LB RB HM LW & SF brought in before window close, who? Only the main man Roy knows

On August 2nd, Manchester United will make a bid for their targets, i have been told that as soon as the next quarterly turnover has been calculated the Glazers will issue Ferguson with transfer funds, it not known how much but one big signing is likely with two smaller signings. I am not certain but i will hazard a guess at the following players will be bid for
Lindegaard – 3m upfront, 2m in add–ons (to join in January)
Annan – 5m upfront, 3m in add–ons
Ozil or Defour or Ninis, All between 10–18m
ROLL ON AUGUST 2ND, OR WHENEVER THE PAPERWORK HAS BEEN CALCULATED! I'M SURE IT THE 2ND!
Oh Carrick may be offloaded, if a bid of around 10m is made. David Gray will be sold and Hargreaves maybe released in January! Everyone else is safe!
29 Jul 2010 16:34:26
Just been called by a friend from Glasgow Airport, and he spotted Ronaldinho getting his luggage, maybe he is heading for one of the two Glasgow Clubs?
Rangers couldnt afford to pay ronaldinhos wages for one day so you can rule us out and celtic couldnt afford him either and he wouldn't go to a team out of europe anyway so i think your friend is winding you up.WATP
29 Jul 2010 16:33:00
Celtic say they can't afford Liam Lawrence. So much for the Bellamy and Keane rumours then.
We can obviously afford him, considering we've already spent about £9 million on transfers and another £2 million doesn't seem like a lot does it?

!!!Rangers News!!!
John Utaka who was enquired about by rangers 2 years ago is still wanted by Smith and now Utaka Himself admits his preffered move would be Rangers, he is quoted by goal.com and stv as sayin, "I have a couple of offers now and I would love to play for Rangers in the Scottish League because it will give me the opportunity to showcase my talent in the Champions League".
Believe that Utaka will join if you want but the fact that Utaka is intrested can't be denied.

ITS NOT AN EDUCATED GUESS THAT PREMIERSHIP TEAMS GET 24.7M FOR TV REVENUE, ITS FACT!
ITS NOT AN EDUCATED GUESS THAT RANGERS AND CELTIC RECEIVE 14M FOR TV REVENUE, ITS FACT!
Re: ok then since u are gonna spout absolute tosh i spent 5 mins digging up the "FACTS".
"Scottish Premier League clubs have agreed a £65m deal over three years with Sky and ESPN to screen a total of 60 live matches each season. The new deal is worth half of what they would have received from a four year deal struck with Setanta." Ok hobo since ur have proved u aint got a clue Ill break this down for u,
£65m over 3 years works out £21.6m per year for all 12 clubs. Each club would therefore get £1.8m per annum (21.6m/12=£1.8m) just for you dunderheid! Quite a fair bit less than 10m would you not agree?!
and as I said that is before you even consider improved gate receipts, increased season book prices and improved sponsorship deals (both shirt makers and shirt sponsors.
Argue they FACTS then son (Go on at least try, cheer me up in work)

ITS NOT AN EDUCATED GUESS THAT RANGERS AND CELTIC RECEIVE 14M FOR TV REVENUE, ITS FACT!
SO IF YOU WERE IN THE PREMIERSHIP THEN YOU WOULD GET AN INCREASE OF AROUND 9–10M MORE THAN WHAT YOU ARE GETTING NOW, THAT MY HAGGIS EATING FRIEND IS A FACT!
RANGERS AND CELTIC DONT MAKE 14 MILLION IN TV REVENUE YA FANNI
The Premier League's sale of its overseas broadcasting rights for 2010–13 will raise around £1.4bn, more than double the previous level of £625m
this is the details of the latest tv deal in england. And that's just overseas!
The Scottish Premier League agrees a £65m television deal with Sky and ESPN worth half what it would have earned under Setanta.
This is the latest spl tv deal.
I see what you mean though we make 65 million over 4 years and you make 1.4 billion over 3 years if we moved to england we would only make an extra 10 million i can't wait to see your response to this because you have just been proved wrong.

Anyone have any news on michael chopras future?
No news except that he is going nowhere. The malaysian owners will inject a further £15 million into the club to ensure the transfer embargo is lifted, all debts, payments to clubs (Charlton, Motherwell and Sunderland) and wages are paid. As well as at least £7 million for Dave Jones to spend in the transfer window. All looking bright at Cardiff, well in a couple of days anyway.

Poor performance from celtic last night, clearly need a goalkeeper, central defenders that attack the ball and a bit of quality and pace up front, poor call for the penalty then commit football suicide by losing two soft late goals, they got what they deserved from the game but who knows if we get an early goal you never know, too many new faces but has to be done.europa league looks more likely as its a bit more to celtic and rangers level.jj

I go away for a few days, come back and find there's a deputy Ed, supports LFC and says the manure goals are good? WTF? Andy Warhol nods in from close range, wow. I take it he'll disappear now until next season? And as for that mexican fella, 5 yards offside. And if he can't beat a keeper off his line from that position then perhaps you shouldn't be playing football. But when you have friendlies against small time opposition, you have to expect the officials have probably been bought in from a basketball match. Sir Bob the Red

Question for the Editor, Ed did you get a chance to watch the United game against the MLS All stars? either the game or the goals? All five were great goals and scored by the players that needed the goals most, Macheda, Cleverley, Gibson and Chicarito!
Macheda, Cleverley, Obertan, and especially Welbeck will make it at United, Welbeck at 19 is looking a very special talent, he has pace, two good feet, a good head and a great cross, he can play as a winger or a striker and will be a United first team player for sure in the near future! Ed keep an eye out for both Cleverley and Welbeck next season they will be the best players in the team that they are on loan at! A bit of a rumour here, United are very very close to signing Annan from Rosenborg! He has just turned 24 and is not injury prone unlike Essien who i hate to admit is the best defensive midfielder in the world, by a mile!
Ed if you have not seen the goals i suggest you take a peek, let me know what you think? {Ed the Ball's note – Cleverley's goal looked good, good to see him back after his injury. Fernandes looked a tad offside but a good finish}
IN ALL DUE RESPECT ED THE BALLS, HERNANDEZ'S GOAL WAS PROVED TO BE 2 YARDS ONSIDE! HES SO QUICK AND I'M SURE HE WILL BE WRONGLY FLAGGED OFTEN NEXT SEASON IN THE PREMIERSHIP. OUT OF CURIOSITY WHO DO YOU SUPPORT ED THE BALLS? {Ed the Ball's note – Ermmm LFC! I did say it was a good finish :)}

The new player arriving at Melwood on Monday 2nd August is Royston Drenthe (£6.5M). Rafa had tied up this deal before his departure. Will post more info about this tomorrow.
So that is why Drenthe's agent came out publicly and stated that they would be taking legal action against the person created a fake Facebook account stating that Drenthe would be joining LFC. If you are going to make up a rumour, make it a good one!

WATP – SO YOU ARE NOT FAT? GINGER? FRECKLY FACED? OR AN ALCOHOLIC? ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE SCOTTISH? NA BANTER ASIDE, LIKE I SAID IF YOU SERIOUSLY BELIEVE AN EXTRA 24.7M A YEAR ONTO YOUR REVENUE WOULD HELP YOU COMPETE WITH THE BIG BOYS THEN YOU ARE DELUSIONAL, IN FACT YOU ALREADY GET 14M SO YOU WOULD BE GETTING AN EXTRA 10M A YEAR, I REPHRASE IT,
DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK RANGERS AND CELTIC COULD COMPETE WITH THE BIG BOYS BY GETTING AN EXTRA 10M A YEAR?
YES THAT'S RIGHT JUST 10M MORE?
Re: If your gonna try and argue this at least make ur figures a little more realistic. I aint gonna quote any exact figures cos I don't know exactly or don't have the time to look into it properly. But if u think rangers revenue would increase by just 10m, ur so far off the mark.
1 – tickets prices would increase
2 – Season ticket prices would massively increase
3 – Sponsorship would more than treble
4 – 10m extra tv revenue ?? are u mental try around the 20m mark
5 – Rangers wage bill would prob be the lowest in the EPL if we were to join
Now I aint saying that gers would canter into europe or challenge for the league after x years. We would be able to stay up however (home form would ensure it i reckon) reasonably comfortably i think. However europe and challenging for the league is a different question. Would we have the means to? Definitely, if teams like Chelsea and Man City are targetted by the mega rich it would make sense to assume that rangers would also fit into that category. As I said you can't say we would be challenging but I think its fair to assume that we would be capable of challenging after a 5 year or so period.
Ed, I rarely am one of these guys that just always ask for ur opinion but i know u are non biased at least and would like to hear your thoughts on the above?

This is the prize money for the epl last season add to this 14.6 million tv money that would mean the winner would receive 30.6 milion, we get 2 million for winning our league if you add the price of tickets to that you make more money also you will sell more shirts abroad your teams also go further in the champions league than us meaning you make more money through that. So as you can see its a bit more than ten million and i am still saying that english teams are scared of the potential the old firm have and they know they could dominate for years.

Looks like Blair Mayne is back on the lash. Blair no one (other than perhaps your imagined new owners) is going to pay 4–5m for Cavalieri. 1–1.5m at most. No one is going to want to pay us £2m for Deggen, He signed for us on a free, is on high wages, if he moves on we will need to pay him off. 8–12m for Zahar, Plessis Nemeth and Spearing is ridiculous. Firstly Spearing is not for sale and secondly we would be lucky to get in total £3m for El Zahar, Plessis and Nemeth. 3m for Maxi is also totally unrealistic. He cost us 1.5m, is on high wages and if he goes its likely to be on a free with LFC having to pay him off. Finally the chances of getting £30m for Mascherano are slim. He has 2 year left on his contract and wants out. Buying clubs know that he is unhappy and that LFC needs to sell. We will do well to get £25m for him. Your 67m is unfortunately more like £30m. Reality Red.
Reality you forgot about!
Skrtl 8–12 mill
Babel 8–12 mill
Plus money left over from other player sales 8–12 mill(maybe)
That's maybe 60–66 mill that's even with your stupid under valuation of these players.

Deluded Spurs fans I hope you can realise that Micah Richards wil never go to Tottenham as the lad grew up as an Arsenal fan.
Arsenal will buy Mertessaker, Richards and likely Marchetti.
Why would we want richards whos a right back and centre half when we already have Walker, Corluka and Kaboul who all play that exact position and additionally Hutton and Naughton who also play right back. Micah Richards really isn't anything to be delusional about we not going to sign him on the basis that hes English, Arsenal on the other hand do.
Real Spurs Rumours:
Craig Bellamy will be signed for 6m if spurs can agree some sort of wage package that won't break the structure.
Expect another Scott Parker bid which is likely to be rejected.
Another striker will be signed if Harry has any sense and Keane and Pav will be moved on.
Jenas, Hutton, Naughton and Taarabt will all also move on.
But being as Spurs fan its immensely frustrating why we always leave our business till late with the new players no time to settle in during pre–season we have signed one player Sandro who does not join on with Spurs till the end of August and we have sold no first team players when we have 5 right backs and 6 central midfielders
29 Jul 2010 15:38:57
I have heard that Cesc will put in a transfer request and that a secret deal worth about £38 million has either been accepted or being looked at.
Ozil is currently Man Utd most likely acquisition, with a bid of £15 million being considered and he is in the last year of his contract with bremen.
keisuke Honda may be the target to replace fabregas.
this is wild talk but if Arsenal manage to land per meterstaker then they will look to acquire Ozil as keisuke may cost us in access of 18 mill.
The only reason Keisuke over Ozil is wenger thinks honda is the better player as were his comments at the world cup.

In response to this:
Blackpool FC News
Blackpool to announce the following signings within the next week,
1, Jonathon Stead (250K)
2, D.J Campbell (1 Mil)
3, Chris Cohen (?not known but should be over a mil)
Olly has mentioned that he has recently put two bids in (which have been accepted) that total more money than he has ever spent as a manager!
Exciting times ahead me thinks!
BFC MIKE
HAHA! Don't make me laugh! He's not going and if, by chance, he did, it would be for a hell of a lot more than that! £5m plus quoted.
29 Jul 2010 15:09:14
LFC News:
I've just been informed by a very reliable source that we've decided against Luke Young. Apparently the club have decided that £2.75m is too much money for the 31 year old. {Ed the Ball's note – You presume it is LFC that have submitted the bid?}

To the gullible rangers fan who posted about signing a guy who "impressed at the world cup". wake up and smell the coffee, its smoke and mirrors as usual. rangers are skint and will need to offload a few more. expect a few token loans at the end of the window, along the lines of the legendary french international jerome rothen, who turned out to be exactly that !!
29 Jul 2010 15:14:19
Massive rumours regarding Luke Young to LFC and Stan. Petrov to go with him. Now if these players are been touted as targets for LFC, why are they not, especially Luke Young, not good enough for Villa. Milner is a cert for City at a price which will be between asking and selling price, around 24M and Ash. Young will be on his way before the window is closed for the summer. Why is MON prepared to let Luke Young go anywhere? Can he not see what other managers can see or is he about to do the best deal ever by moving a player that is unable to get a regular slot? Hodgson is no idiot, so he must be able to see what MON can't?
As a Villa supporter I despare of MON's transfer strategy. Keane , Parker, Bent et al, all strong rumours but no evidence of action. It is always last minute with MON , when most of the business has already been concluded. He would say that deals are being negotiated as we speak, but I am not covinced. Come on MON give your faithful a glimmer of the future, rather than a view thrrough the rear view mirror.

To this Person: Can you see Maxi being there next season? Insua deal is not a certainty, I don't believe there is any truth in the Remy rumour, if we were lucky enough to sign Ever Banega do you seriously think a) your price is right b) he would warm the bench if signed? you have a list of youngsters you claim RH wants to utilise yet no mention of Jonjo Shelvey?? lastly can you see arrivals of Drenthe, Turan, Banega, Remy and Figuroa all coming to fruition??Seriously??

Funny how when Celtic get turned down by someone that they have someone else better in their sights ha ha. Anyway im not going to start BRAGAing but you can't have 8 0r 10 new players in a team and expect them to be a team. Remember Mowbray tried that and we had it won by Christmas.
Onto signings for The Champions. Why don't we look at people like Austin at Swindon, Le Fondre etc. Lower league players could do it in Scotland.Wages would be lower and surely majority of these players would jump at the chance to play for us,
29 Jul 2010 15:22:18
WATP – SO YOU ARE NOT FAT? GINGER? FRECKLY FACED? OR AN ALCOHOLIC? ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE SCOTTISH? NA BANTER ASIDE, LIKE I SAID IF YOU SERIOUSLY BELIEVE AN EXTRA 24.7M A YEAR ONTO YOUR REVENUE WOULD HELP YOU COMPETE WITH THE BIG BOYS THEN YOU ARE DELUSIONAL, IN FACT YOU ALREADY GET 14M SO YOU WOULD BE GETTING AN EXTRA 10M A YEAR, I REPHRASE IT,
DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK RANGERS AND CELTIC COULD COMPETE WITH THE BIG BOYS BY GETTING AN EXTRA 10M A YEAR?
YES THAT'S RIGHT JUST 10M MORE?
Re: If your gonna try and argue this at least make ur figures a little more realistic. I aint gonna quote any exact figures cos I don't know exactly or don't have the time to look into it properly. But if u think rangers revenue would increase by just 10m, ur so far off the mark.
1 – tickets prices would increase
2 – Season ticket prices would massively increase
3 – Sponsorship would more than treble
4 – 10m extra tv revenue ?? are u mental try around the 20m mark
5 – Rangers wage bill would prob be the lowest in the EPL if we were to join
Now I aint saying that gers would canter into europe or challenge for the league after x years. We would be able to stay up however (home form would ensure it i reckon) reasonably comfortably i think. However europe and challenging for the league is a different question. Would we have the means to? Definitely, if teams like Chelsea and Man City are targetted by the mega rich it would make sense to assume that rangers would also fit into that category. As I said you can't say we would be challenging but I think its fair to assume that we would be capable of challenging after a 5 year or so period.
Ed, I rarely am one of these guys that just always ask for ur opinion but i know u are non biased at least and would like to hear your thoughts on the above?
GTID (Ed the Ball's note – Ed's eating some birthday cake, but i think both would struggle, for how long who knows?}
29 Jul 2010 15:23:16
Question for the Editor, Ed did you get a chance to watch the United game against the MLS All stars? either the game or the goals? All five were great goals and scored by the players that needed the goals most, Macheda, Cleverley, Gibson and Chicarito!
Macheda, Cleverley, Obertan, and especially Welbeck will make it at United, Welbeck at 19 is looking a very special talent, he has pace, two good feet, a good head and a great cross, he can play as a winger or a striker and will be a United first team player for sure in the near future! Ed keep an eye out for both Cleverley and Welbeck next season they will be the best players in the team that they are on loan at! A bit of a rumour here, United are very very close to signing Annan from Rosenborg! He has just turned 24 and is not injury prone unlike Essien who i hate to admit is the best defensive midfielder in the world, by a mile!
Ed if you have not seen the goals i suggest you take a peek, let me know what you think? {Ed the Ball's note – Cleverley's goal looked good, good to see him back after his injury. Fernandes looked a tad offside but a good finish}
29 Jul 2010 13:55:49
I've heard from a few people that Torres is staying. I don't know anyone connected to Roy or any members of the team or hierarchy so I'm gonna go off what i can work out. The takeover should be complete very late or after the transfer deadline. the 1st round of bids has been completed but like everyone knows, It's an auction, there won't just be one round of bids, there'll be a few so it's gonna take a while.
Players wise, we all can see that Roy is looking for English players, Cole, Young etc.
So, with Masch looking weel on the way out and a few more deadwood sales, Riera, Benayoun and a few more, there will be some signings, my guess is Milner, a while back he said he would like to play for LFC. Another one is Parker, goodish season who i think would work well with Gerrard. A. Young is another name being thrown around. I don't think he would cost 30+ million like some Villa fans are saying (good, not that good). A name who people have overlooked with regards to English players is Agbonlahor. I think this may be one of Roys targets because he's kept it quiet on the striker front. I don't think he ever had intention of signing remy or else he would have signed. Please post this Ed, leave your views on it because i don't think it's wide of the mark.

TO THIS CLUELESS RANGERS FAN, LOOK JOCK I'M A UNITED FAN AND I CAN SAY WITHOUT ANY QUESTION THAT IF LIVERPOOL JOINED THE SPL NEXT SEASON, BOTH RANGERS AND CELTIC WOULD NOT WIN ANOTHER LEAGUE TITLE FOR A DECADE! CELTIC AND RANGERS WOULD FINISH MID TABLE EVERY SEASON IF THEY JOINED THE ENGLISH LEAGUES, MID TABLE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP THAT IS.
To be fair to Rangers and Celtic if MAN'URE joined the SPL it would be buisness as usual for Rangers with MAN'URE finishing a distant 3rd.

Dear ed.
refering to this statement
think the ed is a rangers fan in disguise he calls people immature for saying 1916 and sticks up for rangers fans by allowing to type fenian bastards or tattie pickers yet the ed doesn't allow us to say the word that rymes with bun {editor's note – I can't allow the word you are referring to as we got a legal warning about it. Apparently the use of the word can incite racial hatred etc. By the way my dad's family are Irish Catholics so I have regularly been called a tattie picker and a fenian bastard myself. The difference is that I have absolutely no interest in that crap whatsoever, which is why I have no time for either Rangers or Celtic. I find it distasteful that so many fans, with no clue about what they are talking about, sing songs about something they don't understand.}
i totally agree with you i am a rangers fan i have been going to ibrox 15 years of my 25 year life and the bigotry is still there but it is nowhere near where it used to be down england they still look at us all they years back but that has changed big time . when i was a young boy at rangers and celtic matches the visiting teams fans were locked in the stadium for half hour after game that is not the case any more. if english football fans look at our game like that the same could be said for yours example. football casuals . 2/3 big riots last season in english football 1 to mention is west ham v millwall .now that's distasteful
not 1 disturbance like that in scotland .

Toon also looking at bringing Bellamy back although early contact has suggested wages are a problem as we will not smash structure no more. You read it here first
Have ou a source id love Bent to join Liverpool two of the best strikers in the leauge Torres and Bent. Fair play to Roy if he can get him

Read this site everyday, but yet to post until now. This site should just be called Liverpool transfer rumours. Face it, your turning into a mid–table team, maybe in the past you were great, but not now. Top 3 is always going to be Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea (in no order) with city and spurs jesting for 4th.
And to the Irish boy who wants to get rid of Celtic and Rangers off this page on to a another page, and calling us mid–table championship. Your pathetic, if we were in the EPL, after about 3 years of earning the money the rest of the clubs are, we both would be fighting for top 4! Fans travelling in their thousands every week, bigger TV coverage than a majority of the teams in the EPL, you lot are just afraid because it will unsettle your little hierarchy and take some of your European spots.

I've just been to Citys stadium to pick up my ticket for the Valencia friendly on the 7th and there was a bit of commotion at the main entrance. A few fans went over to see what was going on. There was a guy in the main entrance being welcomed by a few staff, I believe one of them was Brian Marwood (who I can't stand by the way). We asked the security guys who it was and they said they didn't know, but a journo that was standing at the side said that it was Fernando Torres' agent. Now, don't shoot the messenger here, I am only saying what I saw and heard. He was obviously someone important for all the bother that waas made of him but does anyone have a clue who this was?
This was nothing to do with Fernando or his agent but was in fact Mino Raiola (Balotell's Agent) putting the final touches to his move to Eastlands.

Rumour has it. VILLA NEWS
Petrov and L.Young to liverpool in a straight swap for Babel
20 milliion and Ireland and SWP for Milner
Keane and Jenas 12million
L.Young deal is now dead. SSN confirmed it was because of family issues, "he didn't want to move his family north"
Petrov I still feel is a cover and has no real meaning, I think Roy will head for Scott Parker if Masc goes as he has come out today according to some rag and said he wants European football.

Every time the english national team play abroad there is trouble..EVERY time..who can forget such proud moments like in Charleroi, etc??
Every team playing every away game in Europe, there are stabbings, fighting and arrests.
Even at home, you still fight amongst your own.
The old firm, i admit, do have their elements of idiots, but it's not remotely close to the shame that your lot bring upon the footballing world.
and lets not forget, that celtic, especially, have been awarded numerous accolades from UEFA, FIFA, and even honoured by countries for their behaviour when travelling. How many english teams can say they went abroad, and the locals loved them so much that they actually started up a supporters club because of that?
29 Jul 2010 14:24:46
Hey ED!
great how wound up rangers fans get on this! Money problems getting you all down? :L
and their is every chance Bellamy will come to celtic! you forget our owner has money unlike yours nowadays, ok i'll be first to admit he dosen't invest a lot but he did it with keane who was quite frankly using us to get himself back on form which is fair enough but Craig loves the hoops n i would bet you money if he is being forced out of eastlands he would take a small pay cut if he was coming to us!
bad result last night but we don't usually have great starts to seasons past and we have came out n won the league, you wait.. walter will be saying bye bye to rangers and the title!

AS FOR YOU SAYING YOU WOULD CHALLENGE US IN OUR LEAGUE WITH OUR TV REVENUE, WELL I THINK IT WOULD TAKE YOU A DAMN SITE MORE THAN 24.7M A YEAR FOR YOU TO COMPETE WITH THE PREMIERSHIP!
THAT'S RIGHT EVERY TEAM IN THE PREMIERSHIP GETS AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF TV REVENUE 14.6M FOR DOMESTIC TV INCOME AND 10.1M FOR FOREIGN TV INCOME! SO IF YOU SERIOUSLY BELIEVE RANGERS AND CELTIC COULD COMPETE WITH UNITED, LIVERPOOL, CHELSEA, ARSENAL, CITY, SPURS, VILLA ETC WITH AN EXTRA 24.7M THEN YOU ARE NOT JUST WARPED BUT DELUSIONAL MY HIGHLAND FRIEND!
LETS HERE YOUR COMEBACK TO THAT THEN!
Well im not freckly, ginger, fat or an alcoholic so you will need to do better than that. You can keep kidding yourself about us not challenging but the truth is we would challenge for europe after 5 seasons and the title after 10. Rangers and celtic would become as big as man u and liverpool easily, the could both expand their stadiums and sell out 70 000 a week no problem therefore we would make even more money. After all we are bigger than every team in englland apart from liverpool and manure allready.

Arsenal transfers
Mertesacker=15m
Akinfeev=30m
Frimpong, Wilshere and JET will all push for 1st team starts. The teams I can see challenging for the title are chelsea, arsenal, man.u, man city and liverpool.
Sorry stty spuds but your no where good enough to be considered as a big club. You don't even have the money, you aint strengthened your squad and your just st really.
Who exactly have you purchased to improve your squad? You have lost all your experienced defenders and your greatest player doesn't even want to play for you.
Anyway, spurs will strengthen before the new season starts, expect an increased bid for Parker (possibly including Jenas) along with a new defender (hopefully Richards)
Spurs and Man City will push Arsenal out of the top Four
One season Spurs get into the top four and already their fans are singing about pushing Arsenal out–your almost as deluded as your manager thinking you can win the title! A bit of history for you Spurs fans..everytime a 'pundit' or commentator has written us off as past it and redundant and we've been apparently certain to drop out of the top four we have proved them all wrong and been in the Champs League consistantly over the last about ten years. Write us off at your peril. One season in fourth does not mean you are in with the big boys..Liverpool are still a bigger club than you they were just poor last season.
Though I don't think Arsenal will win the EPL this year but top four in my opinion will be (not necessarily in this order) Chelsea, Utd, Arsenal, City then Liverpool 5th–though they may push city out depending how well City gel as a team. Then it will be between Spurs, Villa and Everton for 6/7/8th. This is only my opinion of course so I may be wrong, just have to wait and see but I am willing to bet a few quid Spurs won't be in the top four again for a while..my in–laws are Spurs fans and they agree with me.
Anyways Ed you got any news on the Gk situation at Arsenal? I keep hearing the same names but nothing concrete.

29 Jul 2010 13:31:42
Well the season is just over 2 weeks away and as United fan i think things are looking quite rosey. We have a good, young squad. Hernandez is looking a more of a bargain every time he plays and if we can secure Ozil as is exxpected (fingers crossed) then i really fancy our chances. Arsenal have a good team but just as last season they lack the squad depth. Arsenal fans point to the signings they've made but i think more importantly look at the numbers they have lost. Similarly at chelseathey seem to be losing more than they are signing and im not sure they will cope should they get a few injuries. Even if they sign the likes of Ramires i don't see them having a plan B. Last season they had deco, ballack as back up and also joe cole when fit but they lack experience and youth combined. Something united and arsenal have in abundance. Liverpool are anybodies guess. It really all depends who roy brings in and whether he can keep hold of torres. An issue which surely needs to get sorted ASAP so that liverpool can use the money to secure targets or should he stay start planning for a season with him. Man City will have had a good season if they can break into the top 4. I can't back any team that pays £24million and £200,000 for Yaya Toure. Im sorry but hes just not THAT good. When fit i would pick out michael essien as the best all round midfielder in the league and toure doesn't even come close. Add Spurs into the mix as harry im sure will get them playing and we could be in for a tight season. Maybe even everton to push for 4th if they can keep up their good form. I think the rest will fight it out for 7th place as none of them have strengthened sufficiently. Im very disappointed that Villa havent made any key signings..with everyone else improving they risk being left behind. This isn't a rumour obviously, i just thought id share my thoughts for the season even though there is plenty of time for transfers yet.

Happy birthday ED!
hope you're not to bombarded by utter crap today (:
and you're not asked anything stupid by utter planks like:
ED, do you have any Alfreton Town rumours!

I don't know but has there been any guarantees Hodgson will get all transfer moneys to spend back on the side.
As well is the rumour of 15 mill kitty made up it seems Hodgsons rumoured targets are moderate at best and Cole and Jovanovic and Wilson were Rafas targets to boot.
29 Jul 2010 12:29:52
When was this and what team was involved? im guessing celtic because they have lots of political baggage.
3–0
Actually no, he was a Rangers fan (although you have completely missed the idea of the point which is why I did not name clubs) saw the schoolchild in a Celtic shirt on the way back from a game. Slit his throat to the bone.

Oh well tims im sorry i accused you, i cannot defend that kind of brehaviour.

So there we have it, all the S spouting there bile when they haven't even kicked a ball! Let's see who they get in the champions league cos I'll tell u this much it won't be pretty viewing! As per wee are STE cos we got beat 3–0 by Braga, it's the same scenario as Strachans first game and what happened that season? Oh that's right rangers won the league! Aye so they did, wee chesney raped them!
See u next season blinkered idiots!
Hail hail
You lot seem in denial to me you have a problem admitting you are crap. You have got pumped 3–0 and still you are having a dig at rangers saying we won't be good in the group stage well at least we will be in the group stage.

Well im not freckly, ginger, fat or an alcoholic so you will need to do better than that. You can keep kidding yourself about us not challenging but the truth is we would challenge for europe after 5 seasons and the title after 10. Rangers and celtic would become as big as man u and liverpool easily, the could both expand their stadiums and sell out 70 000 a week no problem therefore we would make even more money. After all we are bigger than every team in englland apart from liverpool and manure allready.
Don't think you understand the idea of supply and demand. If there was such a global desire for the SPL on Sky then there would be! the fact is nobody cares and nobody wants to watch the detritus you call football. Sick and tired of the same excuse!
WTF are you on about? i never said there was a global desire to watch the spl, i said if rangers were in the premiership they would challenge for europe within 5 seasons and the championship within 10. If the old firm were in england and were making as much money as you lot do we would become one of the biggest clubs in the world. I admit the SPL is a st league.

29 Jul 2010 12:46:23
Some good stuff on here – but some points I'd like to make as an LFC fan:
Joe Cole signed, Gerrard has committed his future and Torres looks to have too. They wouldn't do this without the thought that LFC will move forwards this season, and I think that you will find that Joe cole said "I jumped on board because with the players we have here and the players we are looking to bring in, it's definitely going in the right direction."
Players coming in – he can't have been impressed by names like Scharner, Figuero, Young and Petrov – although I still think these types could do a job.
This brings me on to Aguero – Hodgson will have seen first sight of his ability in Uefa cup final, he'd be a perfect partner for Torres – and purely by just adding him to the team last season he would have propelled us a few places in the PL – but him and Cole added.. Definitely something in the Aguero link and in terms of cost – if £35m would prize him – money from Masch sale + Babel p/e would do the trick! And a decent new L/B could come from other player sales! And those that doubt Aguero would come to us – he has been quoted as being an LFC fan, and that he would relish the chance to partner Torres (Which he got a small taste of at Athletico when they overlapped for 12 months!)!!

STFU aehole it was a dirty orange scum bag who was in his 30 who slit a 15 year boy with a celtic top on. The man was involved with the UVF so he ran up behind him and called him a fenian bastard and slit his throat this happened in paisley btw.
Rangers Fans cause trouble in manchester and romania and attacked celtic in the scottish cup they are and always will be SCOTLANDS SHAME.
GBTP
Im sorry for accusing celtic fans for doing that and im not even going to try and defend it because it was a horrible cowardly thing to do. In manchester there would have been no trouble if the organisers had got the big screen to work in the fan park, still it was wrong, but in romania the police had ireland flags and celtic tops on and wouldn't let an old man leave so his friends tried to help so they sprayed them with pepper spray.
You say we are scotlands shame but you say songs about the IRA and boo during minutes silence.

Dear Points of View, just a couple of things really.first of all i am disgusted by the spelling on this site.This isn't miss spelling by way of text talk or shortening , like cos for because etc.but out and out uneducational lack of english grammar.Everybody gets the names of Johnny Foreigner wrong that's understandable.but in my day you couldnt have printed your programme if Christian Fuchs, Bernt Haas, or even just old Danny sttu was playing..The other thing is now that Marlon King is gonna join Cov or forrest or Whoever..When is someone gonna sign Peter Sutcliffe i hear he has a sweet left foot..

So liverpool have been linked to another prem 'has been' oh dear the only saving grace is that roy said Liverpool would not sigh anyone till after todays match .so maybe fingers crossed these are purely rumours.
On the takeover mid July has now passed and no news!? not even to say that bids have been tabled surely to say that would not break confidence if B does not name names. Plus would give everyone manager, players , fans confidence. So facts could be no bids have been tabled. oh dear ..
Is it me or is our club being run by CP even Roy mentioned all he does is have discussions which hints that he is not in control of anything bar day to day issues.
Next week I think will be a turning point .Europa match out of the way .into August so takeover news of some sorts should come out.Torres in or out, Mach out (good) and we will see what happens with the money we get for him.So cross roads around the corner. On a positive note barring injuries there is no reason why we should not have a better season..

Can't see why anyone would want navas. he had a terrible WC all he does is run to the corner and cross. he does that part well but his crosses are atrocious either not getting it over the first defender or nearly goin out for a throw. would hate to see him in a pool shirt
from down the well
COULDNT AGREE MORE! his crosses are trash, he is very pacey but when he played spains game became so predictable. not to mention he has a horrible case of home sickness, retired from internationals at a very young age due to chronic homesickness, struggled to even leave his home town to play away games so he is no chance to come to england

Looks like Blair Mayne is back on the lash. Blair no one (other than perhaps your imagined new owners) is going to pay 4–5m for Cavalieri. 1–1.5m at most. No one is going to want to pay us £2m for Deggen, He signed for us on a free, is on high wages, if he moves on we will need to pay him off. 8–12m for Zahar, Plessis Nemeth and Spearing is ridiculous. Firstly Spearing is not for sale and secondly we would be lucky to get in total £3m for El Zahar, Plessis and Nemeth. 3m for Maxi is also totally unrealistic. He cost us 1.5m, is on high wages and if he goes its likely to be on a free with LFC having to pay him off. Finally the chances of getting £30m for Mascherano are slim. He has 2 year left on his contract and wants out. Buying clubs know that he is unhappy and that LFC needs to sell. We will do well to get £25m for him. Your 67m is unfortunately more like £30m. Reality Red.

Gotta say ive heard Liverpool linked with Park Chu–Young our new owners from planet zhurgon VII want to sign him so they can sing
Park Park wherever you may be, they kill dogs in your home country, could be worse could be manc, stealing cars from the taxi rank!!:)
that is a bit of a poor rip off from the origanal

Just loved the pre season games! Big spending city draw 1–1 with an average team while a young homegrown united side wins against the best in the MLS 5–2. Also a big slap in the face for arsenal fans who were talking about cleverley and gibson being average compared to their youngsters. Also watching the last 30 minutes SAF is right about having to pay twice if he had not got hernandez before the WC! his runs look like a combination of owen and RVN. And all this overshadows macheda's great performance. What do you think ed? You watched the match? Happy birthday too. Wait for some birthday present humours i mean rumours from city fans! {editor's note – I didn't get to see the matches, only highlights.

Poor showing by the celts last night. Think the game came too soon for us. Wouldnt worry too much though we have some good players and a big squad. H
29 Jul 2010 10:51:31
In regards to where Masch might end up, I don't think it'll be Juve as theyv'e just signed Gago, however I would love a cash plus Mo Sissoko deal to be done, (can't see it though). Realistically, no other team in the world outside of England really has the £25m LFC would be looking for, so they would need to either take a hit on the cash, or look for a part ex. It's almost certain to be either Italy or Spain. If it was Barca, I could see a deal including Abidal and Hleb, if it was Real, any of M Diarra, Van der Vaart, Garay or an outside chance of Benzema, if it was AC milan, then Flamini possibly chucked in and if it was Inter, then Muntari, Stankovic and Chivu could be possible.
I feel Luke young would be a decent addition to the squad, he's a steady eddie type of player we need. I also feel Lopez from Athleico would be an excellent signing. I just wonder if the likes of Deggen, El Zahar, Nemeth are sold, would Carlton Cole be back on the radar as back–up to Nando. I'd like Pleasis to be loaned to a newly promoted team to see if he can do it. Also in that bracket would be Ayala, Kelly, Irwin and Darby, all of whom have the potential to be premier league players. I can't see to many more leaving before the end of the window, the only other could be Aquallani, either a loan or sale back to Italy could be on the cards.

Very poor display from celtic last night. Still need a left back, lee wallace from hearts for 3mill would be our best buy in years.A goalkeeper and centre half are a must as zaluska and loovens are rotten.I can't believe that greek tragedy samaras is still hanging about, and the quicker scott brown joins strachan the better, we don't need a midfielder that can't pass a ball.I think the board stopped mcgeady from playing as the russians are in the c.l . All in all if lenny gets rid of last years dross we can finally start improving, but i think the days of beating europes finest are leaving us for a wee while. paddybhoy

Is it just me or does anyone else think that a lot of liverpool players didn't look fit last season. I don't mean playing with injuries i just mean that players like Insua and Johnson especially, looked like they had been visiting Greggs too often. When he first arrived Johnson had a reputation for being quick but how many times was he skinned for pace a la Neil Ruddock?? Let's hope that roy is looking at better players than Villas second choice fullback and the rumours are exactly that. Before you know it Liverpool will be linked with Tony Hibbert! that is when thing really start to get scary! Let the Royvalution begin!!

LFC news.
Hodgson is being priced out of quality strikers eg Kun Aguero and can only afford people like Ken Aguero.
Since rafa desperately wants masch, Roy is considering a straight swap between Masch and Balotelli. Roy has good man management skills and is confident he can "tame" him.
Roy wants to freshen tactics and play a 4–5–1–
Torres/Balotelli
Cole/Jova
LM Gerrard/Aqua Kuyt/Maxi
Lucas/DM
LB Agger Carra Johnson
THis team has gerrard at the heart of it and Cole/Jovanovic will be free to roam. Kuyt will not be sold as Roy feels he is a good RM because of his balance in attack and defence.
29 Jul 2010 09:16:11
I must admit, iam at a loss to understand our links to both Young and Petrov. In Martin Kelly, i believe we have more than adequate cover for RB and he is English. Regarding Petrov, i feel he has only had 1 gud season in the EPL, i can remember this guy really struggingly to adapt to the EPL when he arrived from Celtic. And a reported £7m for a 30 year old. Ed, have you been given any indication of an interest in Petrov?
I honestly believe that £7m or close to it would buy us Gareth Barry or even Nigel de Jong, when Man City start to put their 25 man squad in place.
I had hoped that Roy unlike Rafa would have started to strengthen us, where we need it– in creative players and another striker, but it seems like Rafa he wants to overload on defenders.
Some rumours i would love to see happen..
Arda Turan ( though think we are gonna miss out)
SWP ( always thought the was a cracking wee winger and would thrive at Anfield)
Darren Bent or Huntelaar ( we will really be committing suicide once again if we go into another season without a proper 2nd striker)

CELTIC AND RANGERS WOULD FINISH MID TABLE EVERY SEASON IF THEY JOINED THE ENGLISH LEAGUES, MID TABLE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP THAT IS.
To be fair to Rangers and Celtic if MAN'URE joined the SPL it would be buisness as usual for Rangers with MAN'URE finishing a distant 3rd.

"Marlon King is on the verge of signing for Nottingham Forest. Billy Davies feels that he can make him come good and his agent believes this could be his last chance."
I have no idea whether or not it is likely that Mr King will be joining Nottingham Forest. However, I do want to give a broader opinion on the matter of Mr King being allowed to play professional football again.
Given he has a string of violence–based convictions going back more than 10 years, I remain completely astounded that (a) the English football authorities authorities have not handed down a life ban on the player; (b) any professional club would even consider taking him on.
I appreciate that there is the liberal view that he has served his punishment, but I really don't care for it given the seriousness of the convictions. Like it or not, many players are seen as role models and I do not see a club taking on this player as sending out the right message.

I have myself heard a few comments and rants from mr.

My take on how L.f.c remaining transfers will pan out.
#1: Left back.
Taiwo(9m) Marsielle
W.Bridge(5m) Man City
Jansen(7m) Hamburg
Salcedo(3m) PSV
M. Figueroa(8m) Wigan
Verdit: Figueroa (LUKE YOUNG)
#2: Central Midfielder
Ever Banega(12m) Valencia
Scott Parker(14m) West Ham
Sulley Muntari(P/ex) Inter
Verdict: Banega
#3: Attacking–Mid/Winger
Arda Turan(13m) Galataserry
Bryan Ruiz(10m) FC Twente
Verdict: Turan(though unlikely due to funds)
#4: Forward
Park Chu–Young(7m) Monaco
Forlan(17m) Athletico
Aguero(30m) Athletico } (he plays for Ajax )
Loic Remy(13.5m) Niice
Verdict: Park Chu–Young(Unless takeover happens)
All realistic and good signings.

Was this just the clubs way of saying "We don't care about the Europa League"?
And RH's response?
Slightly Rafa–esque in my opinion.
Its well documented that the financial rewards for success in the Europa League are not exactly irresistable to a big club (if you are in the CL and join it in the latter stages, its probably worth it just for the trophy).

Happy Birthday Ed.
I must say when I first found this site I giggled and added some rubbish (which now I wish I never–as I am getting frustrated with all the other day dreamers on here thinking real life= Championship Manager).
You are running a great site Ed. Its comical and also informative (once you have learned to weed out the silly ones).
As a disgruntled Liverpool Fan I am on here every day trying to find out more rumours about the take over which is soon going to happen. I am surprised that no one has mentioned any thing about "ShareLiverpoolFC and Spirit Of Shankly" (which I am waiting in the wings to be involved once it happens) when it comes to the take over. I read all about the takeover talks here but nothing as informative as with in this group.
I am now just waiting for RH to actually buy another striker. We need fire power and I feel that without this we will never be competitors for the top spot. Torres seems injury prone and with Stevie G getting old I think we need some one strong and powerful up front to help Torres.
Sorry went off in a tangent. Only cam eon here to say HAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppy Birthday Ed

Jeffries , has an eye for talent, Romanov MAY NOT , that is why , players are being sent across for trials, that are no better than hibs second string..Hearts MUST invest in 3 new strikers and also a leader on the park, anyone with real heart to take the club forward, is not at present in the first team squad, push the boat out ROMANOV .HEARTS COULD WIN THIS LEAGUE WITH SOME REAL SQUAD IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD GIVE YOU AND HEARTS A GREAT RETUN FOR YOUR INVESTMENT, ..bring back BEDNAR, BRELLIER, RUDI, SIGN BRYSON, LEE MILLER, VELICKCA, AND HEARTS WILL PUT THE SH.TS UP THE SPL, WE ARE NOT SECOND BEST ..WE ARE HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN 1874GOGS108

I think the ed is a rangers fan in disguise he calls people immature for saying 1916 and sticks up for rangers fans by allowing to type fenian bastards or tattie pickers yet the ed doesn't allow us to say the word that rymes with bun {editor's note – I can't allow the word you are referring to as we got a legal warning about it. Apparently the use of the word can incite racial hatred etc. By the way my dad's family are Irish Catholics so I have regularly been called a tattie picker and a fenian bastard myself. The difference is that I have absolutely no interest in that crap whatsoever, which is why I have no time for either Rangers or Celtic. I find it distasteful that so many fans, with no clue about what they are talking about, sing songs about something they don't understand.}

Not that i give a damn..Rangers came up with goose eggs against the mighty Sydney FC last night(night here anyway). So Rangers better ease up on the Celtic loss

Actually no, he was a Rangers fan (although you have completely missed the idea of the point which is why I did not name clubs) saw the schoolchild in a Celtic shirt on the way back from a game. Slit his throat to the bone.

Well im not freckly, ginger, fat or an alcoholic so you will need to do better than that. You can keep kidding yourself about us not challenging but the truth is we would challenge for europe after 5 seasons and the title after 10. Rangers and celtic would become as big as man u and liverpool easily, the could both expand their stadiums and sell out 70 000 a week no problem therefore we would make even more money. After all we are bigger than every team in englland apart from liverpool and manure allready.
Don't think you understand the idea of supply and demand. If there was such a global desire for the SPL on Sky then there would be! the fact is nobody cares and nobody wants to watch the detritus you call football. Sick and tired of the same excuse!
29 Jul 2010 04:56:33
Here's a little easier percentage for you Celtic and Rangers fans. Out of the 95 Scottish titles they've won (which is kind of sad..) Celtic have won 44.2% of them, Rangers have won 55.8% of them. Now can we stop arguing?
29 Jul 2010 05:30:38
Im upset about the lack of kristian nemeth aswell. ive just seen some quotes from his agent in an article saying he wants to fight for his place at liverpool but is willing to go on a 6 month loan spell. he wasnt very prolific at AEK but then again he had disruptive injuries and was only 20 in a competetive league, i think give him a loan to an epl club this year and we can finally see if he is good enough. in roy we trust.

To all the gloating Rangers fans , i watched the game tonight and yes the better team won , but it is early in the season and Celtic will get better given time , the champions league is not the be–all and end all , i think that you will realise that shortly when with the limited squad at Rangers disposal (you have no cash and a threadbare squad) in the group games , when you take your ANNUAL PUMPINGS , home and away , you will be in the spotlight EMBARRASSING Scottish football more than we have , you may gain 4 or 5 £m , but you are in so much debt it will make no difference , you are no more than 2 injuries away from disaster , we are not the finished article by any means but our squad is much bigger and stronger than yours and will cope better over the course of the season , at the moment there is nothing Rangers can do about it until they sort out their finances , its sad for Scottish football , no wonder the ARROGANT tts south of the border are "Rippin the pish oot us" so grow up BAWBAGS .

To the maths teacher (allegedly) that said this: rangers have won 26.2% more titles than celtic.
you just confirmed what I said from the start. I said Rangers had won just over 25% more titles than Celtic had. It was a Celtic fan that tried to tell me my maths was wrong.
Sorry about having to read all this ed, I made a simple statement that was correct. In turn I have been accused of being wrong in my percentages and had a lecture from an alleged Maths teacher. I said nothin wrong lol.

Glasgow Rangers! as much as i would love to see the likes of Gattuso sign i just can't see it! how could we pay his wages?? he is on 90k at milan! Healy would be a good buy and would do well in the SPL the two SA guys both look quality so if we get either on would be great! as for Celtic why do you keep going on about Keane and Bellamy? you can't afford them fact! Lennon just seems to be doing all he can to bring a big name in so they can say " hey look at who we signed!" bottom line is the only big name you might get is David James BIG WOW! wasnt even Englands first choice at the world cup and is well past his poor best!
I agree with every word you just said. Gattuso would be quality but can't see it happening YET, the south african mphela said he would love to come and he could probably convince the defender too.

Hodgson is a idiot, he had 15m to start with and with the sales of benayoun –6m, riera, 4.5 and insua nearly for 5 he should have about 30m to spend although he has bought 1 player which danny wilson for 2m.
ths leaves him with between 25m and 30m to spend on a decent left back which should cost anywhere between 8 and 15m to be competitive and and back up which could cost around 2 or 3m, he needs a striker to start up front with torres which should be between 10 and 18m so torres isn't left with all the work to score the goals.
then we get to the mascherano part where he has clearly said he wants to leave. we shouldnt allow inter to tempt us into a deal for muntari as the reason he left was because he couldnt keep up with the pace of english football, we should demand 20m and the very least for mascherano so we can buy a decent defensive midfielder to partner gerrard in the middle. i think banega from valencia is one of the best all round centre mids around at the moment and is a bargain buy between 8.5m and 15m. scott parker won't be aloud to go but someone like lassana diarra would be a possible transfer although with hodgsons dealings this won't happen.
i really think that lpool have a chance next year of getting top four at least if they just think about what they can do with the money rather than go for players who hodgson wanted when he was at fulham,
he wants young from villa who is ageing and didn't play last season??
figueroa aint bad but not at liverpools standard.
we nned a competitive team for next year and buy selling a few players we can get some sensible signings in.

Celtic fans really are thick.
Celtic have won 42 trophies, 25% of 42 is 10.50%
Rangers have won 53 titles, Celtic have won 42. Thats 11 more trophies 11 is just over 25% of the amount Celtic have won, therefore the guys statement is 100% correct.
So hail hail, it is you that needs to go back to primary 1 maths mate, how daft do you actually look.
11 is just over 25% of 42, so the Rangers man i correct.
what fin school did you go to??
25% of 53 is 13.25, therefore saying rangers have won 25% more than celtics' 42, would mean rangers have 55.
christ, get a life, even better, an education.if you really think you're smart enough to correct someone else.think again.As a maths teacher allow me to clear this all up for you.
rangers have won 26.2% more titles than celtic and.
celtic have won 20.8% fewer titles than Rangers.
its a different denominator that you have to use to work out the %ages either 42 or 53 and the numerator is the difference.11
so 11 divided by 42 or by 53 gives the actual percentages
PLEASE STOP WITH THEESE PERCENTAGES WE HAVE WON 53 THEY HAVE WON 42 LETS JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.

Ahem. I told you so Mr Celtic Fans
I know it's early, but what can Celtic attract now. I mean Bellamy probably sees Cardiff's getting into the premiership as more of a challenge than Celtic trying to win the spl. Keane ain't coming to you. What other 'marquee' signing will want to come to your team now Neil.
I'm glad I have stayed out of all the squabbling just so I can have a giggle at those Celtic fans, who, as always, count their chickens before a hens been pumped.
Now keep an eye on ibrox over the next couple of weeks. Who knows what players may start to appear!

The spl is an easy target for the English but it's not half as bad as you like to make out. Their are a whole host of big names from england who have played in it and now have a healthy respect for it. Outside the top 4 in England I don't believe there's a great deal between the old firm and anyone else. Rangers and Celtic have been beaten finalists in eufa/Europa cup in the last 8 years. I know fulham were in the final this year would be interested to know record of English teams over that period.

Re sir alex–so celtic and rangers are the two most vile teams on this shore?what sh!te u spout from that retarded mouth of yours! theres been a few unsavoury incidents in recent years but nothing that has saw every club banned from european competition for how many years was it? scottish fans have a great reputation in europe that england can only dream of, and while every club has their idiot fans(and u prob make top one of the most retarded man u ones)for you to make a statement like that shows your just a fake'look at me im so contraversial'fwit that hasnt a clue what ur sayin.away back to watching jeremy kyle and leave the football talk to the men, ya walloper!sorry ed but he is a prick!
Can't remember an incident in England where a 16 year old child had his throat slashed whilst he walked back from a football game. The killer then afterwards tried to claim it was a "political" act. Also cannot remember an incident in England where a minutes silence of dead heroes was marred by the booing and boycotting by fans. "unsavoury" is an understatement. You are right though Scottish fans do have a reputation in Europe and not one to be proud of. I clearly stated that every football team has its filth but we don't want that filth down here. Also on a side note I assume that you missed the irony of calling me a "retard" (very pleasant, way to prove me wrong) then proceed to write like a troglodyte. Furthermore the point was not about past violence simply put, you are not good enough for the EPL and we do not want you. Nice try though.

Irst of all calling me a jock isn't a very good insult try to come up with somethin a bit better than that.
At no point did i say liverpool wouldn't win the spl, i said we have won more leagues than liverpool and man utd for that matter, infact more than both of you put together and i also said if rangers and celtic were in the premiership and making the same money they would challenge for the title and even you know that, so go back to your inbreeding ya fanni.
Now im not gonna get involved in a petty squabble but in the history of scotlands top division there have been 8 winners in total. In the english top division there have been 22. And alot more competeing for the big prize every year. So league titles does not mean a thing. Had the old firm had competition they may not have one as many second rate league titles.
How many more teams are there in england?
13 teams have won the scottish league

glory glory man united.
You can put a bid in all you want you won't get him so you are stuck with Beckham's love child and Rafael(Who is crap). So stop DREAMING and tell the voices in your head/sources to tell you some real rumours.
Are there any real utd fans on this site! since when did O Shea n Brown become bad RB. O Shea was quality last year. Get real if you think SAF will be wastin money on Ramos. All we need is two mids preferably Ozil N defour to bring some dominance n creativity. Carrick to be shown the door n we fit the 25 quota.

BUT HEY I'M MORE MATURE THAN THAT, WE COULD CHUCK BRISTOL CITY INTO THE SPL AND THEY WOULD CHALLENGE YOU AND CELTIC FOR THE LEAGUE, THIS IS MY POINT WINNING YOUR LEAGUE IS MEANINGLESS. AS FOR YOU SAYING YOU WOULD CHALLENGE US IN OUR LEAGUE WITH OUR TV REVENUE, WELL I THINK IT WOULD TAKE YOU A DAMN SITE MORE THAN 24.7M A YEAR FOR YOU TO COMPETE WITH THE PREMIERSHIP!
THAT'S RIGHT EVERY TEAM IN THE PREMIERSHIP GETS AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF TV REVENUE 14.6M FOR DOMESTIC TV INCOME AND 10.1M FOR FOREIGN TV INCOME! SO IF YOU SERIOUSLY BELIEVE RANGERS AND CELTIC COULD COMPETE WITH UNITED, LIVERPOOL, CHELSEA, ARSENAL, CITY, SPURS, VILLA ETC WITH AN EXTRA 24.7M THEN YOU ARE NOT JUST WARPED BUT DELUSIONAL MY HIGHLAND FRIEND!
LETS HERE YOUR COMEBACK TO THAT THEN!
Well im not freckly, ginger, fat or an alcoholic so you will need to do better than that. You can keep kidding yourself about us not challenging but the truth is we would challenge for europe after 5 seasons and the title after 10. Rangers and celtic would become as big as man u and liverpool easily, the could both expand their stadiums and sell out 70 000 a week no problem therefore we would make even more money.

Re the 'rumours of LFC bringing in Tom, Dick and Harry and the club on the verge of some major takeover:
Speaking to the club's official website in the press conference for the match against the Eastern Europe minnows, Hodgson dismissed claims he could have selected his big guns.
"We were never close to that because they have only been training for four days, " Hodgson said.
"It would have been complete folly to play 90 minutes of football in an important competition in difficult conditions. It was never going to be possible.
"We've pressed one or two back into service who were in a few days earlier than the others. In an ideal world we would not use any of the players who played in the World Cup, but frankly we were not in a position to do that."
The ex–Fulham boss then challenged the youngsters who have travelled with the first team to prove they deserve an Anfield future.
"It's a massive step up, " Hodgson stated.
"You've only got to look at the room here and all the TV cameras – there is great interest in the game and the Macedonian fans will bring a lot of passion to the game.
"It's a step up you have to experience, you can't talk people through it. If you are going to become a top player at a club like Liverpool and play European football for many years, then you need to be able to handle it.
"Whether they can or not, we'll find out tomorrow."
Point 1: Brilliant that the youngsters are going to be
given a chance to prove their worth.
Point 2: After Roy's comments to the press that he was in a battle with the fitness guru's to have them allow him to use at least some of the big guns. As they ultimately got their wish, can we now take it as read that it will be these guys who will be running the team selection process at Anfield, and not Roy?
Point 3: While Rafa was accused of swapping the FA Cup for European glory, are we now not swapping in reverse? In other words, we will not be competing on all fronts this season, as we will still not have the strength in depth to do so!
Welcome to Anfield Roy!

I actually get to laugh at some guys here who always say Liverpool don't have funds that's why they signed freebies . LOL! . Guys . if u can get the players like J.Cole and Jovanovic for free . then why spend a chunk of money . These were awesome signings . and if u recall Arsenal and Tottenham were also behind cole's signature . so if em nt wr0ng . they don't have funds too?? lol.
Well . Liverpool will not only sign free players but with cash too i hope in the likes of Turan, Figueroa and Scott Parker/Banega when Mascherano leaves. and i just hope Maxi dun leave us. and also Liverpool will sign a class striker to partner Torres. I wish Liverpool Signs Fernando Llorente!.
Players That i will like to see at Liverpool.
Turan

To the person who said
"I have just been told that a new player from abroad is turning up to Melwood on Monday 2nd Aug. No idea as to when the club will announce his arrival (or the name of the player) but he is definitely arriving on Monday."
I was there Monday and no one new was training
Who ever responded to that, if u where there on Monday, could i possibly use your time machine to check player transfers for the future.

Pointing to all the Liverpool rumours.. I have supported Liverpool all my life.. I don't think many of the rumours have much substanc to them, Roy seems straight enough.. I think however that Liverpool have an ace up their sleeve and are waiting for the right time for this to be revealed!! Poulson is quoted in saying at a press conference that the club would be auctioned with bidding starting mid July! It is now the end of July, there have been no statements since, which i am aware of!! Liverpool were able to hold onto stevie g which i believe is key to keeping torres. Stevie is a great player, but coming to the end of the road, 30 years old! He is missing only 1 medal, a league winners medal.. He has committed himself to Liverpool, and I can't see him getting a big transfer at 31 (next summer).. The board are being very koy about what is going on and being able to keep hold of our captain something is going on behind the scenes.. I would not rule out any signings, although i would be scepticle of which to believe!! One things for sure, if the clubs in the process of being sold I can't see any money changing hands untill that process has finished, well not big money anyway!!

Does anybody else think there is a hidden message in the above or ist me reading too many John Lecarre novels in my past. I just think the bad spelling and the selective caps is hiding something.
Do you want to explain it Mr EduaRDo

To the super uneducated:

Celtic fans really are thick.
Celtic have won 42 trophies, 25% of 42 is 10.50%
Rangers have won 53 titles, Celtic have won 42. Thats 11 more trophies 11 is just over 25% of the amount Celtic have won, therefore the guys statement is 100% correct.
So hail hail, it is you that needs to go back to primary 1 maths mate, how daft do you actually look.
11 is just over 25% of 42, so the Rangers man i correct.
what fin school did you go to??
25% of 53 is 13.25, therefore saying rangers have won 25% more than celtics' 42, would mean rangers have 55.
christ, get a life, even better, an education.if you really think you're smart enough to correct someone else.think again.As a maths teacher allow me to clear this all up for you..
rangers have won 26.2% more titles than celtic and..
celtic have won 20.8% fewer titles than Rangers..
its a different denominator that you have to use to work out the %ages either 42 or 53 and the numerator is the difference..11
so 11 divided by 42 or by 53 gives the actual percentages

Re sir alex–so celtic and rangers are the two most vile teams on this shore?what sh!te u spout from that retarded mouth of yours! theres been a few unsavoury incidents in recent years but nothing that has saw every club banned from european competition for how many years was it? scottish fans have a great reputation in europe that england can only dream of, and while every club has their idiot fans(and u prob make top one of the most retarded man u ones)for you to make a statement like that shows your just a fake'look at me im so contraversial'fwit that hasnt a clue what ur sayin.away back to watching jeremy kyle and leave the football talk to the men, ya walloper!sorry ed but he is a prick!

The reason why dani pacheco isin with the liverpool squad is unfortunatly he is proabably signing for a club which is bad because he is the best young striker we have and is better than ngog {editor's note – Pacheco is in France playing for Spain U19s, and probably the star of the tournament too.}
Spot on ED! Pacheco is in France and has already scored 4 goals and Goal.com have already give him the player of the tournament. If we don't get Aguero this young lad could play the same position as Aguero no probs. These people saying those no way we could get Aguero for me are talking rubbish!
OUTS
Mascherano 25–30 mill
Cavrelari 4–5 mill
Skrtl 10–12 mill
Deggen 2 mill
Nemeth, Plasis, El Zar, Spearing all for 8–12 mill
Babel 8–12 mill
Maxi 3 mill
Plus what we have left on player sales 8–12 mill(maybe)
Total 65–80 mill
IN'S
Aguero 30–40 mill
Turan 10–15 mill
Leftback? 8–12 mill
Total 67 mill (at the most)
There is a very realistc chance in my opinion of getting these players as you can see there is the funds from player sales alone which could make these transfers very possible (if they want to play for us of course).

Braga 3 Scotlands 2ns best team in history 0
Ahh well, you guys gave it a good shot..not. The first 20 mins was a bit scrappy then Ki gave away the penalty. The rest of the 1st half was guff.
The 2nd half started pretty poor as well, then just after Murphy came on for Sheltic, Braga scored from a corner. Terrible defending and a poor goal to lose. then came the highlight of the game. From miles out, a Braga player thundered a goal in to the top right corner. It was an absolute peach and was the goal that ensured Celtic will once again miss out on the Champions League.
The defence looked its typical shaky form whilst their was no threat up front whatsoever. I can't remember one shot on target for Celtic, apart from the unsportsman like conduct of shooting from their own half when Braga were expecting fair play of a pass back. this resulted in the rest of the game being engulfed in boo's and jeers from the Braga fans.
Boring game to watch, but great result. Well done Braga.

TO THIS CLUELESS RANGERS FAN, LOOK JOCK I'M A UNITED FAN AND I CAN SAY WITHOUT ANY QUESTION THAT IF LIVERPOOL JOINED THE SPL NEXT SEASON, BOTH RANGERS AND CELTIC WOULD NOT WIN ANOTHER LEAGUE TITLE FOR A DECADE! CELTIC AND RANGERS WOULD FINISH MID TABLE EVERY SEASON IF THEY JOINED THE ENGLISH LEAGUES, MID TABLE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP THAT IS.
First of all calling me a jock isn't a very good insult try to come up with somethin a bit better than that.
At no point did i say liverpool wouldn't win the spl, i said we have won more leagues than liverpool and man utd for that matter, infact more than both of you put together and i also said if rangers and celtic were in the premiership and making the same money they would challenge for the title and even you know that, so go back to your inbreeding ya fanni.
WATP – CALLING YOU JOCK WAS NOT AN INSULT, AN INSULT WOULD BE ME CALLING YOU A FAT GINGER FRECKLY FACED ALCOHOLIC! BUT HEY I'M MORE MATURE THAN THAT, WE COULD CHUCK BRISTOL CITY INTO THE SPL AND THEY WOULD CHALLENGE YOU AND CELTIC FOR THE LEAGUE, THIS IS MY POINT WINNING YOUR LEAGUE IS MEANINGLESS. AS FOR YOU SAYING YOU WOULD CHALLENGE US IN OUR LEAGUE WITH OUR TV REVENUE, WELL I THINK IT WOULD TAKE YOU A DAMN SITE MORE THAN 24.7M A YEAR FOR YOU TO COMPETE WITH THE PREMIERSHIP!
THAT'S RIGHT EVERY TEAM IN THE PREMIERSHIP GETS AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF TV REVENUE 14.6M FOR DOMESTIC TV INCOME AND 10.1M FOR FOREIGN TV INCOME! SO IF YOU SERIOUSLY BELIEVE RANGERS AND CELTIC COULD COMPETE WITH UNITED, LIVERPOOL, CHELSEA, ARSENAL, CITY, SPURS, VILLA ETC WITH AN EXTRA 24.7M THEN YOU ARE NOT JUST WARPED BUT DELUSIONAL MY HIGHLAND FRIEND!
LETS HERE YOUR COMEBACK TO THAT THEN!
28 Jul 2010 22:32:26
Mr Ed, where are all the Celtic big mouth bhoys tonight?they were lucky it was only 3–0 ffs, brains against brawn, aye they'll pick up more points than Rangers..disciplinary points that is, fecking animals!when's this revolution starting bhoys?, where's this thunder?come out from under your rocks ya stebags,
ps, Walter won't have to spend to beat that clueless ste, bye bye Lennon, thanks for the extra £2.5 million CL money, I guess Bellamy won't be coming now, aha ha ha ha, let's all laugh at Celtic
28 Jul 2010 22:32:36
Timmys in a real sweat now. Did you see the starting eleven still needs another 5 or 6. I know it's early days but the panic is starting to surface. Can you really see the likes of Bellamy signing into that he's not stupid.theres not one player in that squad anywhere near his level.

3–0 Braga! can you hear the thunder? NO! But I can smell the fear
28 Jul 2010 22:38:49
OMG!! This Celtic fan really is thick lol!
Celtic have won 42 league titles, correct. 42 divided b 4 (25%) is 10.50 (%) Thats 10 and a half for your pea sized brain. Rangers have won 11 more leagues than Celtic, which is just over 10 and a half.
Rangers have won just over 25% more league titles than Celtic have won.
I can't believe this had to be explained to you twice. If you take the amount of leagues Celtic have won. Rangers 52 doesn't come in to the sum. You really are thick, ed will you please explain to this idiot that the 11 leagues Rangers have won are just over 25% the amount that Celtic have won.
How daft can one person be??
