Where'd you hear that?

I know some other player of theirs just got injured but hadn't heard about Rosicky.

football365. He's been left out of their last 3 pre-season friendlies.

lol maybe because they dont want to risk him getting injured again bacon lol


looks like Alonso is on his way out, Benitez has accepted it and should be signing with real for less then 30million

also talk man united are putting in an offer for Ribery for mid 30's

[BigPete33]

Last I read, Alonso had formally handed in a transfer request, but no fee had been agreed yet.

They offered 24 mil but Benitez is saying they are dreaming and expects 30 mil.

I would say "50 mil or forget it" if they're going to go and spend 80 mil on Ronaldo. Would love to hear them cry poor about it then.

I heard a story about Darren Bent's Twitter page... that he wants to come to Sunderland

Pete, do some investigating

[BigPete33]

Already saw some headline where he apologised for his online rant, so I assume that's related.

I think it was Bent that was on the plane with Tottenham and ready to go and they hauled him off because a club had agreed a transfer fee.

Don't know any more than that off the top of my head, will try and investigate for you though.

Alonso 50million, get your hand off it, ronaldo is almost worth the money because the merchandise etc that the ronaldo name sells

Alonso is not a superstar and from reports liverpool will take a bit under 30mill because he wants to leave

[BigPete33]

At no stage did I say he was worth 50 mil.

He is not worth it by any stretch.


I said ask for 50 mil.

If they don't want to pay it then he goes nowhere and Liverpool win.

If they do pay it then Liverpool get 50 mil, and still win.

Get it now?

50 mil would easily replace Alonso and there'd be enough change for someone else good too.

I agree with this entirely pete

screw the bloke, might as well get our moneys worth out of him, i mean im sorry, if your not happy playing for the best club in the world, off you go, but we will get our moneys worth out of it

IMO anyway
