Abrak Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 The flabbergasted bit was just some bait thrown in but disappointingly no one bit, which was rather worrying because i sensed confidence from that in your ranks. i was sure that atleast Dev would bite!! I see - a bit of comedy. Actually we have been seeing plenty of that from you lot and Arsenal. And more to come over the next two days I expect. How exactly will Levy wield his pen? Will Arsene suddenly stock up 5 minutes before closing time? And Liverpool suddenly look like a well oiled machine compared to the shambles they were last year (and for the past couple of years.) We have looked incredibly well organized during the transfer window. One thing I think Liverpool have got right is a management structure that creates a seamless integration between the owners, Ayre, DC and KD while others see that as a recipe for power struggles and conflict. KD and DC seemed to have worked very well together during this transfer window. While Arsene Wenger simply states 'I' decide what is good or bad for this club, 'I' recruit whoever, 'I' have got it right in the past, he risks the fact that he will end up a victim of his own vanity.

I just wonder if like me others Reds will be gutted if we don't make 4th this year !! the fact is it will no doubt be close again for 3rd,4th,5th 6th places. But expectations are high now with the money invested and the good start we have. Ones things for sure we can dream again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abrak Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Talking of a well organized transfer window, the 'ins' are pretty easy to track. The 'outs' also now make up a pretty impressive list. Players out Potter Saric Chamberlain Irwin Bruna Ince Ayala Konchesky Jovanovic Insua Soto El Zhar Mavinga Poulsen On Loan Pacheco Aquilani Hansen Darby Galusci Joe Cole Which leaves us with Ngog and Degen (and probably a few others.) On the sign-up front, I think we would all like to see a back-up striker signing to replace Ngog but that is about it. Rumor has it that Bellamy isnt going anywhere because City refuse to pay out on the balance of his contract to let him go. So are they going to give him a number in their 25 man squad? And in total that makes 26 transfers I believe, which is pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) I see Liverpool have seemingly secured the move of Sebastian Coates. He's a big strong defender, 6' 6" and was in the Uruguayan team that recently won the Copa America. He won the award for best young player of the tournament and he's not 21 until October. If it is all true, then this sounds like another shrewd signing by Kenny whilst other manager's sit playing with their rubic cube. He's not Ralph Coates' son by any chance?

StevieH Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 it's not seemingly any more, it's done. and yep, delighted with this bit of business considering that he's exactly what teams like arsenal and spurs should be going after right now. apparently our having suarez and him bigging the club up to coates helped to sweeten the deal.

Why should Spurs and arse be after him, he's unproven in the premiership and both teams need someone for the first team now. Spurs also have a young boy (Caulker) already playing in the premiership and at a younger age than this guy.

Why should Spurs and arse be after him, he's unproven in the premiership and both teams need someone for the first team now. he's already good enough to get into both arsenal and spurs' teams. not to mention arsenal have again signed two defenders with zero premiership experience.

How can you say he's not good enough for spurs when you've only seen him play a few games in the copa america if your saying that he's better than King then he should piss liverpools team cos king is better than any central defender you have even with one leg,oh i forgot, every player Liverpool sign is a great player until you get rid of them a year or two later.
