In October when both Wes and Glen Johnson were fit, Brown was starting....just dealing with the FACTS, now Wes has been injured Johnson has had his chance. With regards to the transfers, it's very easily done. Tevez and his advisor admitted firm interest from Liverpool but Tevez came out and said he wouldn't sign and you know full well that Barry was a target, keep putting smileys in your posts and denying it though. Interesting that alot of match going LFC fans are fuming with Owen signing for us, although some choose to deny it, I'm sure we will see the true reaction on October 24th. Just for you.

I will admit it hurt a little to see in that shirt as a kid I had him on the back of mine but if we get Number 19 this year its going to be even sweeter with him there.

That's a fair shout, what Liverpool have to be careful of is not doing what Arsenal did, by that I mean having one good season then tailing off. Last year when Torres got injured you had Keane to fill in and he did a good job, I know there is still a long way to go but your squad does lack depth.

Well Ladbrokes have got plenty of Michael Owen specials for those who are sure this is going to be a total failure/great success.

Unfortunately they've yet to put the odds up for him to score the winner at Anfield.

We have some depth there but they didnt step up like they should of, the likes of babel and lucas need to do what yossi did another signing in attack would be good Rafa's not said much lately the hope is that he's working on something.

Interesting that Owen is the most accurate striker in the premiership.

Looks a poor signing for a club like Man U. Even on a free, with the wages involved I'd suggest it's money down the pan.

As long as it's pay as you play it won't be money down the pan as there is nothing to lose, no transfer fee, if he's injured he won't get paid anyway and he has a proven record of scoring. So long as anyone wears the red shirt they will get my backing 100%

Never slagged Owen off, I slagged that joke of a manager you had who played him behind two strikers, I was of the belief that you play your best striker as a striker.

That's just a cheap, bitter dig at Shearer though. You seem to forget that Keegan played him in exactly the same position and got the best football out of him in four years.

Reports on Skysports earlier was that Madrid are interested in Ashley Cole. Also that the Inter Milan chief expects Real to make a bid for Maicon.

Negredo plus cash for Xabi Alonso.

Maxi Rodriguez could be available this summer, with Spurs looking to sign him according to goal.com

Think he'd be worth a gamble. Top player. Would be good to see him at Liverpool, with my red hat on.

Maxi plays in an AMR role, the same as Dirk so that would cause Rafa problems as he (and i) like Dirk playing there.

Maxi wants to stay at Aleti aswell doesnt he?
