...we'd kept Riera, Aquilani and Benayoun instead of getting Cole, Jovanovic and Poulsen.
 
I wish we hadn't signed any of those players in the first place


edit: Harsh on Yossi, he was okay at times
 
If we didn't get Cole at the tiem we may have lost Torres in the summer.

Yossi wanted out.

Reira hit a youth player.

Roberto needed games to regain his form and fitness.

Things ended up shit with the 3 we have brought in but they needed to be done and the players leaving were unavoidable.

You know this for a fact do you? Im glad he's gone by the way whether its true or not.
 
I do remember it being wildly claimed pacheco got digged over a set piece in training. I don't care if it's true or not, its still awesome

If Modo gets all his wishes, we will have a completely new squad! 😛

Like a breath of fresh air.

CB: Cahill
LB: Taiwo or Coentrao
DM: Adam
LM: Nzogbia
RM: Young or Hazard
AM: Aquilani

Liverpool league champions 2012.....and then I'll wake up.

Apart fro Aqua, those players will cost us easily 50m. Which players can we sell to get another 50m?
 
If we play hardball I think we can get away with paying £40 Million

CB: Cahill £10 Million
LB: Taiwo Free
DM: Adam £5 Million
LM: Nzogbia £8 Million
RM: Young £17 Million
AM: Aquilani

We'll sell:

Cole £5 Million
Jovanovic £2 Million
Jay Spearing £1 Million
Christian Poulsen £2 Million
Maxi Rodríguez £2 Million
Paul Konchesky £2 Million
Stephen Darby £1 Million
Daniel Ayala £2 Million
Nabil El Zhar £1 Million
Philipp Degen £1 Million
Emiliano Insúa free

That's about £19 Million and I bet we'd get more.
The owners will hopefully invest £21 Million. Which isn't really that much.

Cahill easily 15m since he is Brit.
Adam 5m? Maybe 8m since we could not get him for 6m. I know he is out of contract soon but he is also a Brit
Nzogbia 8m? More like 12m
Young an English will definitely be more than 20m

Obviously, and I said this at the time.

I found it strange to seem such a staunch defender of Riera, given what he apparently did was so obviously wrong, what he said was accurate but innappropriate, and apart from all of that, he wasn't a great player. Setting aside all of that though, he was a good outlet, and a natural wide player. I hoped we'd get lucky with Jova, but wasn't that happy getting a forward "who can do a job" on the wing, but didn't expect he be such unadulterated shit. Hopefully the last in a little line of horrible transfer seasons.
 
I made this Thread 5 months ago and got bitched at.

They were gash to average then and still are now...

It's easy to dismiss losing Torres that easily now, but it would have been regarded as disastrous at the time (as it was initially when he did go). Yossi wanted out "SO" we'd have been keeping an unhappy player if he'd stayed. You can't ignore what Riera did (Citeh tried with Barton but had to get rid in the end) - and he was never THAT bad BTW. Dreamy has a point.

[/quote]I know you did Farky i remember it well. I did too with Riera and Aquilani. Sadly i wasnt arsed about Yossi leaving and i was wrong. Ive since realised that he was a massive part of all ths good we did and i wish id seen it sooner.
I didnt want any of the three players who came in ranging from Apathy (Jovanovic) to utter loathing (Poulsen) but there you go.
 
We'd have been better off with them, no question, but if they were here now everyone would be looking to replace them.

My point wasn't that they wouldn't be better if they stayed of course they would be.
But nothing was going to change the fact all 3 either wanted out or had or to go for various reasons.

If this was a I wish we kept Riise and Bellamy I'd be with you 100% as we could have prevented letting them go.

He left after Rafa was gone.

Yossi always seemed to love playing for us but he could have stayed to fight for his spot once it was clear Rafa was gone.
He made the choice to join Chelsea ( hard to blame him really as I thought for a scoring midfield which were in short supply he was treated poorly by LFC)

[/quote]Its hardly silly stuff regardless of your spurious arguments against. We had Yossi, Aquilani and Riera under contract and CHOSE to let them go (for whatever reason) and we signed Cole, Jovanovic and Poulsen to replace them.
I WISH we hadnt done that.
