No they haven't.  They have signed two players to long term (one is 7 years the other I think 9 years) contracts worth about $300 million.  Remember no transfer fees.  When you see these #'s that money is not an immediate cash outlay.  It's about $40 million in the first year between the two players.

I was listening to the sky phone in show there (I was looking for La Liga and got sidetracked) and a few people had the knives out for Lucas and N'Gog, "the usual suspects" but Andy G was right to mention Kuyt again, he may have scored but he got lucky with it and apart from that he was dreadful. Last half dozen matches for our grafting Dutchman have been worrying.[/quote]
only the last 6 matches .
kuyt is limited and inconsistent.was brutal today,got the goal but had 2 serious pieces of luck to get it in,looked tired sluggish and overplayed imo.
him and maxi should have been replaced at 1.1 with fresher options on the wings like cole and jova.that way we had more chance of making an impact and at 1.1 we could have won it.
anyway on kuyt,he would be a much better as a squad player who starts the odd game and gets the rest from the bench.that way i think we would see a much improved player on the pitch and in front of goal.
today for me we just werent good enough,no creativity,desire or hunger for it.far too many players not giving 100%.

We were terrrible in defense today, albeit the first goal was a country mile offside, once again the clown of linesman missing something he SHOULD have picked up.

Skrtel just is not good enough at the back, the big Greek did OK but we expect more at this club.

We clearly deserved a penalty in the 1st half on a blatent handball after Torres' freekick.

Lucas and Meireles once again like a yo-yo up and down performances all season long.

Apperently we have an Argie Bargie "winger" in our side goes by the name of Maxi Rodriguez, can someone please tell me when and where he was last spotted as I failed to see him throughout the whole match?

Ngog was OK, should a few glimpses of tricks and did well holding things up, Babel huffed and puffed but couldn't blow the Newcastle house in.

Which leads me to today's main rant. What the f**k is going on with Fernando Torres? I know most of you see him as untouchable on here, but blow me down he was f**kin cactus s**t today, missed a clearly opportunity, did not make any runs on the ball, was as slow as a snail and just gave the impression (yet again!) that he can't be a**ed. His body language is all out of sorts and the question needs to be asked, does he want to stay at Liverpool? If not sell him back to Spain or Italy for a s**t load and use the funds to rebuild this very average side.

The sad thing, yet again, is that we missed another opportunity to bury a side that was average at best. We really should have put the studs in between the 45min - 60min mark where we had chance after chance. I agree with the forumites saying we have a large rebuilding job, I think half to three quarters of our squad should be sold off, they just aren't good enough.

Captain Fantastic is back next week, lets hope he sends Fernando a rocket up his fadge, because we really need to get on our bike now or we will have our worst finish in a LONG LONG time.

some good points you make mate,yes the team were in defence today-but the fecking non-exsistant midfield didn't help them either!

lets just say it as it is please poeple- that result fecking sucks!

we don't start well,get ourselves back into the game & then play so negitive- why? -for me don't lay all the blame on our defence,we should have gone for the gunular-& fecking won in style. all this bu11sh1t about players stepping up to the mark,was exposed big time today.

untill consistancy is achieved, the whole team needs to be questioned as well as the manager.

New manager, new players.....what the phuck must Hr. Henry be thinking, eh ? "What have I got myself into ?"

I'm sure it will get better.  Sometimes it just takes some tweaks here and there for the team to get on the right track.  I remember thinking that we needed a complete squad overhaul in 2007/08 season when we got our kicked by Man U.  But next season after making just a few changes we did a double over them and Chelsea.
