Liverpool have announced that winger Harry Kewell will undergo a hernia operation that will rule him out the start of the Premiership season.

Hehe.

Well, we won't be selling him to Citeh now then

I hope this op works: I'd love to see the Original Harry Kewell. I think he'll have to maek an immediate impact after going under the knife to survive next summer's shake-up though

Looks like it's Crouch, then.

MO to ManYoo??

Rumour constantly has it that you're trying to offload him to us at the Toon. I think even our lot are too sensible to fall for that, though.

The Original Harry Kewell died in that plane crash at Emmerdale Farm. This dud replacement is destined to be shit and lazy for the rest of time. You'd be doing yourselves a big favour if you got rid of him as soon as possible.

Seven million quid for Crouch?!?!?!?!?

Edit - Ooh, and 3000 posts for me

@Paul
Yeah - when I posted above it had just broken on the Beeb.
And yep Â£7 mil. I think it's waaay too much but I think it's probably par for the course in the UK at the moment.

If he tops Meeeelan's scoring record last year for us I'll be pleased. Don't know enough about him to form an objective view to be honest.

@Zen-Chan

Well in Zen: congrats on the post count

I'm trying but it's hard not to giggle.

Rafa must see something in him I don't.

Why didn't they just try and buy Heskey back.

In all fairness, I haven't exactly been following his progress since we managed to offload him. He may be a shit hot player now - pretty much how I'd describe his performances for Villa, except I wouldn't include the word "hot" in the sentence.
