I think that with all your new signings and the euphoria associated with your excellent Champions League performance, you will no doubt win the Premiership this year.

Or maybe finish fifth again.

I wish i was that Optimistic.

So Larry Robert's joined Portsmouth, then!

I'm a little bit surprised by that, seeing as Bolton are in Europe, but I suppose it's the France thing that did it.

Good riddance, you lazy bastard! :P

good player for us when he was up for it, mind....

...Robert, 30, has signed a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee after he opted to join Pompey ahead of Bolton.

In other words they paid over the odds.

Mind you good signing for Pompey, he's a good player on his day!

:)


Poor old Bolton, look like there getting Diouf.
The man doesn't deserve to play in the prem. if you ask me.
He's had far to many chances!!

:evil:

Current indications are that they paid 2 million, with other speculations at 1 million. I don't think either sum would be over the odds, really.

So, we got Scott Parker, then.

That would appear to be a good signing. Not sure why he'd choose us exactly, but he should improve us a bit, if he lives up to his potential.

Based on the last few seasons, we're going to have "If he lives up to his potential" as our motto.

to change direction slightly...what the hell is Harry Kewell up to. 8O
He's making himself out to be an even bigger prat.
I think Gary Lineker was dead right with his judgement on Kewells way he was transferred to Liverpool.
Agents get far to much money, cause far to many problems, and generally create the ego driven footballers we have these days, who don't care what badge there wearing, just how much they'll make.
Harry Kewell's agent made 2 million out of that signing alone.
For what?If Harry Kewell can't format a deal himself or any footballer for that matter,a professional, and pay someone else 2 million pounds to do it, he wants his head looking at,not his fu*king groin!
Then he causes all this publicity to obviously try and show others not to write things about him because he'll sue.
To me he's brought the attention on himself again to show he still can't fight his own battles and he has to pay some lawyer god knows how much a day, to say he can make his own decisions??

Well done Mr Lineker, someone had to say it!!

Allegedly....just in case he reads this :D

Fuck me, with all this Lions and cricket blether around, I'm really missing my football. Looking forward to Friday when the Liverpool end-of-season DVD comes out so I can have a good old wallow. :D
