The deal with Chelsea probably means Spurs won't make a complaint, but then again, if Chelsea have broken the rules should Spurs need to make a complaint? If the league had any teeth they could bring the charge themselves...

That's what I mean. They're bypassing the league/rules by effectively bribing Spurs not to take things further. Pretty cuntish behaviour by anyone's standards.

Raaaaaay! New thread!!!

PaulEMoz wrote: Yeah. And Rick Parry didn't have a lot to say on the subject of new signings, either. I'm sure it's usually prudent to play your cards close to your chest in transfer matters, but I haven't even seen anybody linked to Liverpool this summer.

If it's the Sky interview you mean, Paul, I got the impression Mr P looked very uncomfortable answering Gerrard questions

Hopefully he will[/b] be our first signing of the season.

I've got to say I'm decidedly underwhelmed by the names we've been linked with that even approach sounding serious. Peter Crouch, Dirk Kuyt and Reina are the ones currently doing the rounds, rumour wise. Oh and Boro's Zenden.

However - to mirror Paul's opening lines - I've learned to be a bit more optimistic with regards to LFC. In Rafa we trust, and all that

one minute Baros is staying, then leaving, same with Biscan.
Just get rid of the dead wood and move on Rafa, if they don't get Gerrards sig soon he will go as time is running out to be CL tied.Then he defo can't go to another club.
If he does at least there could be another approx 30 milllion in the kitty.
But i hope he stays!!

Yep, that was the one. He did look uncomfortable, didn't he?

Oi, we've been linked with Kuyt/Kuijt. Off!

You're welcome to Crouch and Zenden, though.

Reds Make Stelios Bid.

Wouldn't have picked him as a potential 'Pool target.

indeed. Think Rafa's looking for experience - the only reason I (and sky

) can think of. It is strange though.

Man Yoo are omenously quiet aren't they? Wouldn't surprise me if they did try and get Mr Owen to Old Trafford.

Which would be bad

Yeah. This "can't afford him" bollocks doesn't wash with me. I think they said that about Rooney, as well. I suppose it might be different with Glazer there, but I think they'll have him. And unfortunately, if they do, I think we might end up getting Alan Smith, which I'd be really upset about.

I'd take Alan Smith if he was nearly free but I wouldn't pay anything for him. Mind you I'd probably have Zenden too, he's not a bad winger.

I wouldn't have either of them, particularly Smith. But I think I've set my standards too high!

No idea. Struggling to even get ticket info at the moment
