As this thread has been bumped, thought this might be relevant.
Just read on the BBC website that with the departure of Alonso, only two players remain at Liverpool from the 18 man squad that won the Champions League in 2005. Should be faiirly obvious who they are ?
Is the current squad better now than the 2005 squad ?
Obviously just having Torres upfront makes an incredible difference, but wondered what Liverpool fan's views were on a total change around in personnel in a 4-5 year period after winning the biggest prize in club football.
Much stronger side, in virtually every position. It's interesting to hear Rafa's reasoning that he got Alonso in to suit a purpose with the team he inherited from Houllier. Now that he has pretty much a side that he's assembled he no longer sees Alonso as indispensable. This would certainly explain Rafa's lack of interest in keeping Alonso. Yes, it sure is. |

Banned. Not quite sure how Scottish Dave, the non Olympic watching, myopic betting, crap film liking, wouldn't recognise Sir Steve Redgrav-ing poster wasn't.

Any ideas of which if any centre backs we might pick up?
What did we think of the 2 young lads today?

We'll end up with a veteran like Distin I think. Turner is not worth the £12 million that Hull are after. I really like Daniel Ayala as a player though. Reminds me of his namesake Roberto. |

Bloody hell, he doesnt mind having a pop. Seems like v good business from that video.... I do have cause to be more than cautious about rating football players by youtube video's (mr Albert Luque), so I'll wait and see! |

Hes a different player to Xabi, i see him more as a link between Mascherano and Gerrard as opposed to sitting alongside Mascherano. Very good player hope he stays fit long enough so that Lucas howthefuckamiafootballer leiva doesnt play.
