Its tactics that got him to the final kiddo, and hardly plain stupidity if it happened time and time again, it was a tactic that worked, you clearly dont have a clue, and yet he didnt emply these tactics to win the League Cup so clearly your knowledge in football is somewhat lacking.

Ha with a team like Middlesbro it is an achievement to get to the semi finals, next youll be saying Milwall achieved nothing getting to the FA Cup Final.

Pipe Down

First is first. Second is nowhere.

Doni's move to Liverpool is back on apparently.

Yayyyyyyy

Guys i ve had enough of this. Stick to thread or your rights will be revoked.

end of.

well said^^^^^^

oh yeaaaaah punt it long stick everyone in the box and just hope that 3 goals go in in ten minutes

mate mcclaren is nothing but a wally with a brolly who got lucky


back on topic:

reports of charlie adam beginning to force through a move

To be fair to Steve Maclaren, he does do a very convincing Dutch accent.

Comes in useful that.

Really don't see the need for Doni. It's about time we got in on Mata seen as no one else is!

I think we are selling Brad Jones, and loaning Gulacsi to Hull so we need another #2 keeper.

Would love Mata here, I also think we need to be at least looking to sign Aguero, just to test the waters.

We are also being heavily linked with Diego recently from Wolfsberg guy is an amazing talent, though also has a screw loose.

For £10M being quoted however, it would be the buy of the window so far.

From 2007-09, LFC wages were between 56% and 58% of turnover. In 2009-10 they were 66%

I think until that gets lowered (we sell the deadwood), I can't see many players signing for us, unless they are on comparatively low wages like Henderson.

Think our owners want that cut back into the mid 50s - where it was before Woy took over and ran riot.

2nd keeper?
Alexander Doni's proposed move to Liverpool could yet be resurrected, according to the player's agent.

The Serie A side accepted a bid from the Reds last month, only for the Brazilian to turn down their contract offer, deeming the wages to be too low.

LUIS SUAREZ has dropped a bombshell on his adoring Kop fans he has a long-standing dream to play for Barcelona.

And his link to the Catalans giants is strengthened by the fact his agent is Pere Guardiola, the brother of Barca boss Pep.

However, Reds supporters can rest assured that the tricky Uruguayan is committed to Anfield for now.

Suarez said: "Before knowing Pere, I had that dream of playing for Barcelona.

"Obviously he is connected to Barcelona through his brother but these are work issues, totally different to personal ones.

"If Pep Guardiola wants me, he will want me totally independently of who represents me.
"But for now, Liverpool is the only club I want to play for."

At least he is honest!

Clicky has moved to City.

Tevez has told City he wants to leave.

If he does leave (probably to Real Madrid IMO) then that makes it interesting as to who they sign as a replacement.

If Tevez does go Madrid, perhaps they would want a player from there.

Higuain perhaps.

Thats just my mind working overtime on an unlikely scenario btw.

Reports saying Malaga have made a bid for tevez, (the new man city) takin over by a gulf coast consortium.

PSG are also filthy rich, watch out for them this transfer window.

Aguero going to City and Tevez going to Madrid is my guess at the mo.

Wouldn't suprise me if PSG did bid for him though, Tevez is always moaning about Manchester (who can blame him) so Paris would be a place he could take his children.

Monaco midfielder Park Chu-Young has issued a come and get me plea to Liverpool - and insists he doesn't want to go anywhere else.

The South Korean captain will snub possible moves to AC Milan, Spurs and Paris St Germain to fulfil his boyhood dream and play for his hero Kenny Dalglish.

Talksport aka talkdaft

Liverpool will have to wait to find out if their bid for Villarreal winger Santi Cazorla has been successful, according to reports in Spain.

The Reds are believed to have already submitted an offer for the 26-year-old, but Villarreal are unwilling to consider selling him until they have found a replacement for the player.


(The Mirror)

Malaga also want him, and as Nicko said, they are hugely rich now.

Hmmm rumours circulating that downing could be on his way to liverpool yet ..... that was on skysports news yesterday just for the record :-D

SSN are also saying Stefan Saric is having a medical at City. He is a defender from Partizan Belgrade.

That will be 2 signings in 2 days.

yes but they are also saying that liverpool are very interested quite late on

Really? Looks like he's gone down the Clichy route then. Never heard of him or seen him play, so I don't know if we are missing a gem or not. Looks like you're right:

Stefan Savic has chosen Manchester City over Arsenal and Liverpool. (PA) Stefan Savic has chosen Manchester City over Arsenal and Liverpool. (PA)

Arsenal have been tracking the centre-back for some time and even had him on trial at the club before he joined Partizan last summer.

Liverpool also made a late attempt to secure a deal of their own, but Manchester City's financial clout and the promise of Champions League football proved too much to resist.

Metro.
