that should be the first post of every page from now on.
Well we did buy him for £35 million, we're not going to sell him for drastically below that are we, we'd just keep hold of him or loan him out and see if his loan performances increase his value if Rodgers really did want to sell him.
I'm not saying we'll get £35 million if we sell him, we won't. But what's Dempsey valued at - £7-10 million? We'd want more than that if we sold Carroll I think.
Carroll has resale value while Dempsey doesn't.
It's fine over here.
Oh hmm, hopefully there aren't scalpers then, although from what you've said there probably isn't much opportunity for arbitrage beyond a few games.
Also would Dempsey even want to come to LFC? He wanted to play in the Champions League and I think it would be optimistic to predict a top 4 finish next season.
Is Sneijder really moving to Anzhi? It seems like that would completely kill his Dutch National team career (especially given he's next in line for the captaincy?) and if doesn't, it should.
It's the word on the streets thus far (twitter), but I can't see him staying at Inter for another season.

So, tell me how awesome is this guy?
Yes, Kagawa was pretty cool, also because he was Japanese but this guy? Just look at him! He's from Australia, his parents are from Afghanistan and Nicaragua and he's got a red fucking afro. Kagawho?

Rumours are he's reuniting with Eto'o at Anzhi.
true, staying at Inter would be career suicide of a similar magnitude. Shame the move to United didn't work out last season, they won't be needing him now with Kagawa!
Strange, just tried Firefox and it's loading fine for me, still not working in Chrome though.
Wouldn't be a bad 20m buy for someone like United, Arsenal or Liverpool.
it's an untapped market. costs too much to buy into the PL, Serie A, or La Liga... so why not try the smallest of the main five leagues. it's no doubt closely tied to Al Jazeera building up TV rights in leagues like Ligue 1... having those superstars gives them clout. and viewers.
tbh, it makes a hell of a lot more sense financially than the City project...
Well, dc needs a break from getting constantly picked on. PSG is doing its best to get on everybody's bad side, all we need now is an authentic PSG fan and we can officially start the hatin'.
You're right, what would be the point of even that?

There are not enough Frenchies in footy-GAF now I think about it.

Various West Ham ITK's are claiming we're trying to loan him for the season with a view to buy at somewhere around £15m-£18m next summer, and that Carroll would prefer to come here over the other options available because of Nolan. I find it all very hard to believe.
In other news, twitter may be rife with bullshit rumours, but that seemingly doesn't stop "proper" journalists from making up their own, or printing any old shit that agents looking for their cut of a potential transfer fee want printed;

ESPN are showing a crap ton of pre season friendlies.

To be fair their service has been down for 2 days now. They're really not in any position to be mugging customers off.
Even one's named 'gurujosh'...
If GAF's Messi was manager you wouldn't have won that
Damn straight
Wow their feed is hilarious to read right now!
Some of the replies they are coming out with.

Saw Amini play a few times this season but he looked like he was a bit hampered by injury this year. Quality talent though but give him a bit of time to settle before expecting the world.So, tell me how awesome is this guy?

Suarez after spotting a streaker chasing Cavani. Turns out it was Kyofou.
Got a feeling Suarez is gonna be incredible this season. Wish I had the same confidence in the rest of the team, but oh well

Is V worth watching guys? I'm coming to the end of Prison Break, which remains to me hugely enjoyable schlock.
Just started Arrested Development, 2 episodes in, pretty good so far.

He gave a statement in support of Terry.
Verdict tmrw. I think JT will be found innocent. They need evidence beyond reasonable doubt and if I'm being fully honest there are elements of JT's defence which sound more than plausible to me. My inkling is that he did say those words and not in a sarcastic manner...but I can see his argument and it's not totally insane...or maybe I'm just insane.
I read that too; it's what I expected. Hopefully it means the club won't buy some "world class" (read: overpriced) like for like replacement and will focus on the many areas of the team that need to be strengthened. hell, I think, if spent properly, this squad could easily be stronger than the one we had last seasonwith or without RVPif the money is spent properly.
Really sad to hear about Fletcher, I've got buckets of respect for him after the way he behaved following his disgraceful sending off in the semi-final of the Champions League. He had every right to throw a wobbler, do a Barton as it were, but he just walked off and took it. Hope he manages to cope with his illness to the point where he's able to find a job and quality of life he's happy with.
Glad to hear about Borini, it's been said time and time again but it seems this lad's a real player, and more importantly a really good professional. He's sort of like a young Kuyt in that respect: a versatile attacker, relentless worker, someone who's never going to be the star player technically, but someone who pops up to score goals when you need them.
Regarding Carroll, I'd take £9 million and Dempsey, reinvest that money wisely into Sturridge and we've got a great set of attackers, with Suarez at the head, beasting.
Was nice to read Rodgers comments on Henderson too, I said that educating Henderson in the Rodgers way would do him, and us, a great deal of good. It seems Rodgers thinks the same.
Oh and it's hilarious to hear Jose Enrique say the word 'titles', he pronounces it 'teetles', and he used the word to describe the Carling Cup.

Fletcher to replace Lawrenson and becomes BBC's Gary Neville?
Is V a waste of time because its rubbish, or because it was cancelled and left unconcluded?
