What Deadly has got, in spades, is that he's a big occasion player (and goalscorer). Every quality squad needs its hod-carriers and Deadly's better than most.

We've plenty of good first team players. Hopefully they'll stay and we can recruit some decent backups.
Our best 11 is a match for most.

if it is roy then lets hope he manages to do what no liverpool manager has done in 20 years, and that is buy a wide player worth a shit. some will point to macmoneymon but he wasn't bought.

Hey, we actually agree on something! Yes, that is one of his main transfer challenges - a challenge that Rafa (and, as you point out, Houllier) both failed at rather horribly. It would make a huge difference to us if we had a goal-scoring, chance-creating, fast, skilful wide player in the team. It doesn't have to be a Messi, just someone in the mould of Malouda, Valencia or Aaron Lennon would do.

Indeed, that Mark Gonzalez looks explosive and looks like he'll score a few goals, fast as lightning as well apparently, hence his nickname speedy Gonzalez.

I seem to remember it was Gonzalez' first game when he scored. It was at the Anfield Road end and he dug the ball out from under his feet quite skilfully before shooting. It made us very optimistic at the time that we had signed a winner.
It was the same with Stan Collymore. :🙂

That's a slightly unfair comparison wouldn't you think? Although I kinda see what you mean. I'm certain I will remember Collymore's contribution to Liverpool in 20 years time, my recollection of Gonzales will alomost certainly be "we had a Chilean? At Anfield? Geddaway!".

I've probably told the story before, but that gonzalez goal was I think the day before we released a new shirt. The next day I went to jjb to get mine (in manchester 😉 ) and they'd ran out of Z's for all the gonzalez requests. Ah well.

It's a funny thing about memory - we always remember the great things former players did, and forget the crap things. I suppose that's a good thing. However I seem to be more unforgiving than most supporters because I remember the dross. For every good game Stan Collymore had, he had ten bad games in which he failed to deliver the goals we were expecting from him. So I perceive Stan as yet another bad signing, rather than an Anfield Legend!

Mostly agree, but would have to add that his scoring record initially was pretty impressive. It was later on that he went off the rails, and sadly he wasn't alone in that at LFC at the time.

Collymore scored 26 goals in 61 games.
Odd guy he may have been but he could score goals.
