i HOPE WE DON'T get over-confident with this Community Shield win.

Remember the last time Liverpool were fancied to win the League? That too was a season following the World Cup...2002, we had finished 4th, 3rd and second in the seasons prior and were the "natural" choice to contend...very similar to this time around. We were leading sometime in October I think, but then we crashed and burned and finished 5th! Got to be cautious this time around with the lofty expectations....

Hardly think that is the prevailing view. Of course we go in season after season wanting to be Champions but it would be a rather dim assessment of the realities at hand. Arsenal have a dynamic youthful side that still plays the most attractive football, and when all else fails, they have Cygan, I mean Henry. Man Utd, you write off at your own peril. They went through the season losing their most influential enforcer and leader, with a patched up midfield and still finished second, ahead of us. They have always scored goals, and even without RVN, I doubt anything on that front will change. Chelsea, well yeh, what else that needs to be said that hasn't.

I just want us to win the league.
Heh heh.

Liverpool finalise £10M deal for Dutch ace Kuyt
Liverpool are on the verge of landing Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt.

The Guardian says Kuyt has reached an agreement with Feyenoord that he will be permitted to leave Rotterdam for Anfield once a fee has been thrashed out between the clubs.

Reports in Holland last night suggested the striker had already met the Merseysiders' manager, Rafael Benitez, to discuss the transfer though negotiations between the two clubs are understood to be ongoing.

Kuyt has told Feyenoord he will only consider joining Liverpool, so thwarting hopes of an auction with Newcastle United.

Funds are relatively tight at Anfield and, while Liverpool could offer Feyenoord a deal worth up to £10m for the international, they would look to stagger payments over the course of his contract.

Meh, Roeder is watching him again tonight in the Ireland/Holland game. Hopefully we can come in with a late bid and pip you to him because by the look of it Kuyt has agreed to nothing as of yet.

NOTE:

"I would consider a move to Liverpool, but my first choice is Newcastle," Kuyt is quoted as saying in the Daily Star.

I think people are putting words into his mouth because he would surely opt for CL football?

Those quotes were made by some of yer fans from a Toon fansite and were picked up by Newsnow and some other journos unwilling to work an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. :jap:

It's in the Dutch papers this morning and diverse internetsites:

KUYT FOR 4 YEARS TO LIVERPOOL.
He gets his medical today and if all goes ok he will sign!
He will travel from Dublin to Liverpool on thursday.
18M Euro will be the amount that Rafa is willing to pay and both clubs reached an agreement.

cool we finally get the striker we wanted!!! now that we have all the players we need..we must do well in the league!!!..btw:Sissoko is as impressive or even more than last year!!! he will be one the best midfield in the world if he continues that way!!! :rockman:

Fan Favourite
GK: Reina
DR: Finnan
DC: Carragher
DC: Hyypia
DL: Aurelio/Riise
MC: Alonso/Sissoko
MC: Gerrard
ML: Kewell/Riise
MR: Pennant
FC: Bellamy/Fowler
ST: Kuyt

Not too bad methinks. We've got depth this season, at least. There are positions i've put 2 players. That means its based on form. Except for Alonso/Sissoko. We should play Momo away from home, and at Anfield we partner Alonso and Steve on midfield. Depending on the situation we can bring Momo.

We apologize for keeping the yellow too long
Yellow Card
He' s a good player but not for us. We've just wasted about 18M Euros. We're becoming a poor man's Chelsea! Quite a few STUPID signings!

My preferences are in bold:

Reina

Defenders

MR J. Pennant, D. Kuyt(probably won't be happy or as effective playing here) - Pennant's bought.......so damnit, use him
MC M. Sissoko - MUST HAVE
MC X. Alonso - MUST HAVE
ML H. Kewell/M. Gonzales/B. Zenden - I'd say get rid of Zenden ASAP
FC S. Gerrard/L. Garcia - this will be lethal, provided the Spaniard stays happy
ST C. Bellamy/P. Crouch/D. Kuyt - A ****ING MESS!

A common substitution will be:
Pennant off, Gerrard moves to MR, Bellamy(starting at ST) moves to FC, Crouch/Kuyt comes on as ST
 

datboy

Starting XI
i watch Liverpool quite alot. with the Kuyt signing, i think this would be the best formation:

4-4-2

-----------------Reina---------------
--Finnan--Carragher--Agger--Aurelio--
-----------Alonso-----Sissoko--------
---Gerrard----------------Gonzalez---
------------Crouch----Kuyt----------

I think this team would give Chelsea a big fight for the Premiership!

thoughts?
