I'm nervous but I always am. Essien coul be concidered as a new signing also. Carlo Ancelotti is a better manager than I am so my trust lies with him.

I just mean for his age and the fact he didnt play as much last season. Was a brilliant defender, sad to see him leave, he will be a great success in the Spanish league.

Excellent defender, sad to see him go, 8m is a good price though.

Yeah I agree that all English teams have had bad pre seasons, no need to worry.

I'm not reading anything into this game, none of these youngsters will be anywhere near the first team this season I wouldnt have thought. Although I would like to see more of Conor Clifford and Jack Cork. Scott Sinclair and Franco Di Santo will leave I think.

Paul Furlong, god yeah, he couldnt hit a barn door during his time with us. How about, Erland Johnsen, will always be remembered for winning that penalty vs Liecester in 95.

Kalou will eventually end up on this list I feel, due to never really having a garanteed starting spot, and his surging dribbles and runs are definately random! LOL.

Chill out dude, I agree that Di Santo has had his chance and we will probably get rid before the window closes, but seriously, dont judge out youngsters on a defeat to a full strength Ajax side.

Took his goal vs Ajax very well indeed.

Alexis Nicolas - made 1 appearance for CFC Joe Keenan - unlucky with injuries Jes Hogh Emerson Thome

Laurent Chavet was actually a decent defender, I remember when he left I has disappointed. How about.......... BERNARD LAMBOURDE!!

Joe has just been ill adviced by his agents etc. For some reason he was told ''you should be the highest paid player at whatever club your at'', Chelsea were unwilling to pay him 150k a week seeing as he was out injured for over a year, couldnt get into the starting XI, and didnt really contribute to our season other than his goal at Old Trafford. Liverpool have offered him the most money and he has signed, its as simple as that. Dont get me wrong I would have loved JC to stay at CFC, but I'm glad CFC have taken a stand and not given in to player power demanding an undeserved pay rise. Its like me having 6 months off work sick, then going back in and asking for a payrise, it doesnt happen in the real world, and football is now a businessmans playground, CFC is a business, and is bigger than any player. As for him choosing Liverscum, what a terrible move, no CL football, players houses getting robbed 24/7, but they have offered him the most money. Its as simple as that. As for his replacement, Benayoun, I know some people are critical, but IMO he will be a decent player for us, he has been in the Premiership for 5/6 years, and performs when called upon, he is a hard worker, so give him a chance, he moved here for footballing reasons, not for money, so yes, I believe we have come off better than Liverpool with regards to the actual player, the only downside is he cost 6m and JC was a Bosman. Joe has given us some great goals and memories, and I had really hoped he had gone to Arsenal or abroad, not Liverpool FFS.

Who remembers..... JURGEN MACHO!!!

I remember all of the players mentioned, some, unfairly, Bjarne Goldbeak was a very good player for us in the late 90's, as was Babayaro and Ferrer. Here's a few of mine: Rhys Evans Paul Nicholls Mark Nicholls Paul Hughes Joe Sheerin Sebastian Kniessl Joe Keenan Leon Knight Alexis Nicolas Mostly youngsters that never made it as first team regulars How about: Veron Paul Parker Frode Grodas Alexi Smertin Enrique De Lucas Juri Jarosik Kezman I think current players that will end up in this thread will be: Di Santo Scott Sinclair Ross Turnbull

Its very tough to call, its not fair for Bosingwa to walk straight back into the team ahead of Ivanovic after what a great season he has had. It all depends on weither CA wants to start with Alex, hmmmmm??? It will either be Ivanovic Alex Terry Cole... with Bosingwa on the bench or Bosingwa Ivanovic Terry Cole... with Alex on the bench Sadly, I think Carvalho will move on.

I know nothing of this lad, but to pay £5m for a 17 year old, he must have something about him.

Concerned? No. Any player that goes to Man Citeh is going for the money, fact.

Gallas for me, to say your going to score own goals unless you get a transfer is unforgivable. Yes, he was a good player, but he needs to remember we plucked him from the shite French league and made him what he was...

Banned yet?

Benayoun is a proved good quality player, he was one of the success stories of last season to come out of LFC, he wont play every game for us, sure, but when he does play, I'm sure he wont dissapoint. Welcome to CFC Yossi, and I hope you get the no.10 shirt after reading some of the tripe in this thread, yawn.

Kakuta is a must now that we have lost Joey Cole. Matic looks promising. And personally I'd like to see Mancienne, Hutchinson, Cork and Borini being given a chance.

This thought popped into my head today after England were dumped out of the World Cup: Could Lampard call it a day? From a CFC point of view I hope he does, it could prolong his career with us. He wont play in another World Cup, and if we do have another manager for the Euro's that brings changes, Lampard could be one of the old guard that gets dropped etc... Thoughts?

Ozil Elano Aguero Villa and erm... Rob Green.

I remember the home game against Southampton where Kevin Davies clossed him down and blocked his clearance and scored, I was there LOL. Good keeper though.

Just brought 2 DVD's... CFC season review and one night in Turin.
