Does no one else think Huntelaar would be great in those Anfield matches?
[/quote]

I want him. Ever since Robinho bigged him up & I looked at him play I've wanted him.

I think he's a great poacher as well as forward.

He's on fire for Schalke this season. SIGN SIGN SIGN!

Yeah, I mentioned his name on the scm Facebook page as someone I'd fancy. He'd be perfect.
 
That's not so. The scm facebook page was a life raft during the turbulent times when the mother ship had foundered. 'Twas there that the memory of scm was kept alive, where a continuum between the beforetime and the restoration was forged.
 
Huntelaar is merde and I'd like him to continue to be so I can slag Robinhood and his "better finisher than Fowler" chat.

I think that's a little overwrought really, Doc. I mean like fair enough but still I'm a bit, like, no way, lol

The reports of people who survive on life rafts are notoriously unreliable, Doc. And with good reason.
[/quote]

Some people drank their own urine, it's true, and some raved and some turned to one another to sate their carnal needs. It all happened, I won't deny it. But that little raft would quickly become a distilled essence of scm. Why it even had its own Evra/Suarez racism thread, a thread on the Hobbit, and so much more. Had you but found your way to our little floating island of humanity, you'd have seen for yourself.
 
Gene, you will hear of the tale of a Liverpool youngest impregnating two women in two weeks through the medium of twitter.

However racism was abundant because we could see pictures of each other.

let him go to chelsea. I doubt modric alone can fix chelsea's problems and it would be a major blow for spurs.

Harry has been making some noises about signing marquee player. He may try and do a part exchange for Drogba

I never once said "better". I probably said as good as, but anyway, the point was that he is of a similar ilk in that department.

Bent has succeeded at shit teams where he can run onto through balls against invariably better opposition who are playing higher defensive lines.

Have a look at every single game we play at Anfield. Every team that plays against us defends deep and let's us play in front of them, cos they know we only have one uniquely different player in Suarez. Every inter cunt like Downing doesn't have the Bioity to do something brilliant in tight spaces in and around the box.

Throwing Bent into that mess would just compound the problem. He's a good player, but he's not the player we need. We need quality, technically great players who can create something out of nothing. Look at United - Rooney, Nani, Hernandez, Berbatov. All different, all capable of something out of zero in a tight space. None of those cunts hang onto the shoulder of a defender and wait for a through ball because throu balls don't happen against teams that are defending on the edge of the box for 90 minutes.

Bent, like Downigng and Carroll isn't a bad player, but he'd be the wrong player for us.

This is generally true. We did succeed in paying deeper for Torres' benefit though, a few years ago. But I generally agree that our best option is players that can work in tight areas; ie the best players, are what we need.
 
If it was up to me and anything was possible, I'd probably play four quality attacking midfielders / second strikers in between a poacher and a DM.
 
You still need someone who is going to stretch a defense at some stage though Robin. If every cunt is looking to play in the gaps between the oppositions defense and midfield they can close that gap pretty quickly and limit your space. It's where Arsenal got into trouble for so long until Wenger obviously told RVP to stop dropping into that space. It keeps the centre halves from pushing up.

Please don't anyone confuse this for us needing someone to play in the shoulder of a defence like Bent. Please.
 
From our chances created stats, it is fairly clear we are stretching defences, we're just not inserting the ball in the onion bag. If we had a paucity of chances in each game (as per Hodgson's era) then we would be crying out for creativity, but we are racking up dozens of good chances in each game. We happen to be taking almost none of those.

We need a finisher.

Well fair enough. But I don't think it necessarily follows that these players would be unwilling to do that. In our current crop, none of Suarez, Bellers, Maxi and Kuyt can be described as real wingers, but they all like to run wide when the space is there.
 
Well, if you thought the Bent rumours were bad we're apperantly interested in Cattermole. Fuck me, please dont be true.

Downing Syndrome in full force.

We seem to be linked to Cattermole every transfer window. We'll end up buying him at some point.
