Wasn't he meant to be a fabulous player?

It died down , he's not really that great TBH honest , if we had the money , i'd buy 4 players

Phillip lahm , one of the best left backs

Daniel alves , to replace the ageing finnan

Arjen robben , very good player who can play on either flank

A top striker in the mould of drogba but younger

I can only see this type of transfers happening if DIC group takeover

he be a great signing imo as he can play on either flank.

Yeah but I think Klinsmaan will be keeping him. He was an important part of Jurgens germany side and would be v surprised if bayern got rid of him.

agreeded , like u said , he was a immense part of the germen team and i don't see klinsmann letting go of any of their star players

Going back to Liverpool of old they did have a reputation of back passing a lot. Hansen was first and foremost a defender and there to stop goals. There were great attacking players but balanced with a great defence.

The problem I see is we do not have the defenders who are also great in attack and bringing the ball out. Agger is a step in the right direction and balanced well with Carra an old fashioned stopper. As much as I like Finnan and am ok with Riise they do not offer the attacking options we need. You always build from the back and we did with Houllier build on a defence first premise. Rafa is slowly putting this right but without wholesale changes that would see us leaking goals.

If Babel improves and we land one utterly class midfielder/attacking winger I can see us landing the title

It just seemed to go from "He's absolutely amazing and I cream my pants every time he plays" to "...*Tumbleweed..."

Just rather odd. I wondered if he'd really f*cked up at some point in the meantime, or whether it was just premature adulation in certain quarters...

i agree he perhaps doesn't have the morals to be a liverpool player, what he did to get alonso suspended a few years ago still angers me.

but he is out of favour, and could be bought for a cut price. he's proven prem class. and he's a damn good creative footballer.

EDIT - I just realise the irony of me saying we can get him at a cut price :upside:

Great that you got your own joke, do you mind explaining it to me

BTW I also think he would be a great signing, very good footballer.

Actually, from a pure footballing perspective (i.e. putting that incident with Xabi behind us), I think Gudjohnnsen is a very good shout. He would certainly fill the brief of creative second striker that we need to partner Torres. He's an intelligent player and offers a goal threat. He's also comfortable with the rough and tumble of the Prem and wouldn't break the bank. It goes without saying that he'd be a vast improvement on what we have in that position.
