Whitey - I think that's their yank, Cameron
this is really good news, but the way you say "i say we take it" suggests we need to think about it. i dont think there is anything to think about we should just accept. just the mention of the guy will make people on here hungry and cause a health scare so for the sake of the team and fans we need him out.
ryan - i think he will go as its closer to scotland than what fullham would have been.
I know I'll regret asking this, but why do you think proximity to Scotland is such an overriding criterion moron?
That'll be him. Was funny to see the difference between him and Cazorla. Cazorla all majestic, finding space, knitting moves together and playing with a real swagger up against this big brute who just ran around snapping at heels, wellying the ball behind the opposing fullbacks every time he got it.
Because as I said in the other thread, the chippies are really fucking good.
There were a number of conversations on the radio (both Talksport, and Five 5), and reports in London newspapers that he did not want to come down south. I usually associate the need for a specific location when it comes to players from the continent, but I think in the case of Adam being in Scottish national team, its easier for him to travel to Scotland for home games if he is playing his football up north of England.
I was a bit surprised to hear the above as I never thought it mattered too much for a British player, but in the same conversations someone mentioned that Alex Ferguson before taking the United job was actually preparing for the role of potentially managing Spurs, but then Manchester United called up and he picked them at the time not because of their history but because at the time he thought it was more convenient to be near his homeland of Scotland. Strange but true according to the reporter.
Even today in aLondon paper there was talk of Berbatov staying in England despite having better offers from abroad (in terms of wages), mainly because his family are now settled in England. So sometimes money does not seem to be the most important thing for these highly paid players.
Looks a decent move for Adam, he'll get plenty of game time.

Just like to thank the great support of LFC and the club for a fantastic year was honoured to have been giving the opportunity to wear no 26

Joking aside, he didn't do a lot wrong here. He never proved himself to be good enough, but his attitude to the club, if not his physique, was faultless. If we had hired a different manager he could have been a useful squad player, but he's not mobile enough to be in Rodgers plans.
I like him and hope he does well for Stoke.

so it's seems nearly all of Dalglish's signings suffered from a lack of confidence and the pressures of being at a top club with high expectations . Ok , we all had reservations about the quality of these signings and if their best was good enough but i think it's fair to say that none even produced close to that best .
When you sign a "good" player from a so called lower team there is always the concern if they can hack being at a big team but you hope they can and even improve their abilities and form when surrounded by better players . I won't lie , this is one of the aspects of Dalglish's reign which disappoints me the most . We , and he, weren't able to get these lads to even produce close their best or to improve at all . They all suffered confidence issues and we weren't able to help them in any way with that . I guess they may never have had the bottle or ability to start with , it was a losing battle from the first day, but that again proves they should never have been signed in the first place .
anyway .

Yeah, cos walking in like you owned the place worked out well for you, eh Ince. Tit.
Shame, cos I talked to Ince after he'd retired & he was a really nice bloke, not arrogant at all & spoke well about our city (met him in town), but at Liverpool he was an arrogant bellend. Had I been this age I'd have asked him why but I was too young at the time to talk honestly to a footy player I'd just met.
