A rumour from Leeds is that Jermaine Beckford has rejected a contract extension and has been put up on the transfer market.... I hope this is wrong...I want him to stay and get us to the Championship.

Sorry Pidge, not a rumour. Confirmed today that Beckford is on the transfer list after refusing a contract at Leeds. Delph will also be off.

Re-building again for 2010 I'm afraid mate.

Unfortunately Alonso will not be at Liverpool next season and wishes to move back to Spain. The obvious destination will be Real Madrid. This will also help Liverpool in a way as it will give us more money for transfers. Along with Alonso (£25M) the departures will be Voronin (£3M), Itandje (£0.5M), Degen (£2M), Leto(£3M), Hobbs(0.5M) and finally Babel(10M) who will go to Atletico Madrid and a friendly will be arranged as part of the deal.
That gives Liverpool 44M plus 10M from the Keane deal is a total of 54M
Rafa will buy 2 big signings this summer as he doesn't want a repeat like what happened to Houllier. Plus 2 medium name signings and 1 small name signing. The small name signing will be a young CB replacement for the Legend Hyypia and this will be Mathias Jørgensen for £2M. The two medium signings are both english and both play in the Premier league. One is Gareth Barry who will replace Alonso nad the other is Glen Johnson who will both sign for £10M each. The two big signings will be David Silva (£20M) who Rafa admires a lot and will go higher then the original £15M to sign him and the other will be a transfer record for Liverpool but isn't Tevez (Stay at Manc) or Aguero. It is actually Ezequiel Lavezzi who will sign for £22M. The only reason i can see that Rafa prefers him to Aguero is because of his versatility as he can play as a left or right winger and as a striker or secong striker. A total spend of £64M which leaves £10M from the owners to cough up. Lavezzi will play up front with Torres in a 4–1–3–2 formation with Masherano holding on his own and then gerrard dropping into CM and having Silva on the Left and Kuyt on the right. However this formation will change for more important games which Rafa will have the original 4–2–3–1 with Masherano and Barry holding, Gerrad behind Torres with Silva on the left and Lavezzi on the right who will bring strength, skill and pace to the wing. Also Lavezzi can play behind Torres in that formation as can Silva which will give us backup for injuries to our main two players. Lavezzi can also play up front with gerrad or Silva behind him if Torres is injured. Although i wasn't sure about these signings at first they actually make sense and fit in to our current squad. Again Rafa the tactical genius has got it right again.

Citeh's team is starting to look reasonable. They still won't be a threat unless they can learn how to win away from (middle)eastlands.

GBP100k per week....how wide of the mark was I:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1190654/Barry-Premier-Leagues-big-earners-Villa-City.html?ITO=1490

Gareth Barry's £6.7million a year Manchester City payday puts the 28-year-old among the Premier League's big earners.

The midfielder will earn £130,000-a-week following his £12m move from Aston Villa - just £14,000 less than the average house price in the north-west.

Barry's new pay packet will be nearly six times that of the average top flight footballer, who earns £23,000 a week (£1.2m a year) before tax.

That's just retarded. No wonder he signed. That's stupid money.
