"When Liverpool beats Arsenal, I'm upset." - The Other Teams Thread

Andy Carroll to West Ham on season long loan. Brendan Rodgers on Carroll:

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see Andy's been a cover player... But, as a club, I'm not sure we are in a position to have £35million players as third-choice strikers.

Fair enough. That's how much he cost though Brendan. Not how much he's worth!

 

Nonsense. Though I get what you're trying to say, Iniesta is quite quick and he's really strong.

I agree with you on the size part, certainly, and the fact that Barca's trio of world class players all stand 5' 8" is refreshing to see. But speed is always an asset and players who aren't strong enough to stay on the ball, a la Jermaine Pennant, do not have particularly rewarding careers.

 

blackburn and huddersfield have agreed a fee for jordan rhodes and he goes for a medical tomorrow. £8m is probably a bit steep, but blackburn probably had to pay a premium to keep him in the same league as huddersfield, then again he's about the same level as jay rodriguez and southampton paid £7m for him.

 

He is not a great goalkeeper, and really hasnt been since 2009.

 

is Dempsey really going to Villa? I highly doubt it.

buckled in for the impending dramaaaa

 

villa had a bid accepted for £7m but dempsey wanted to go to liverpool so villa stepped back.

 

we should buy Villa

 

heysus christo....smh

dempsey could write a book on this event alone.

 

de jong to milan
van der vaart having his medical with hamburg
barton on loan to marseille, likely with m'bia going the other way
bendtner having his medical with juve
berbatov to fulham (almost...already had medical but not completed and spurs still linked)
adam having his medical with stoke
richardson to fulham

 

dempsey is cheap, at 7 million even i would consider him lol

i hope we sign a striker and defender personally.....

 

so what happens if Dempsey has rejected Villa and Pool doesn't come through as planned...does he sit out the season? he's obviously not coming here because he'll be seeing a lot of pine if he does.

 

looks like spurs have a fee agreed for moutinho
park having a medical at celta vigo
qpr sign granero from real

 

wern't we looking at granero last year? (supposedly)
