Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

So I guess this is somewhat good news? Providing we replace him with someone better

 

Meh. I like Ayre so a bit disappointed to see him go tbh

 

Would anyone take Payet from West Ham?

I know he'd cost ****s loads, that isn't the question

 

Legend. Even had an F1 world champion named after him. RIP Senna.

 

not seen enough to give an honest answer to be fair.

 

Would rather go for Mahrez. Payet is 29 in a couple weeks, so he wouldn't have many years left in him.

 

Mahrez is a given. Don't think you'll find many that will say no. And that's not just for Liverpool

 

not bothered by the age thing, its more important what they add to the team.

remember gary mac? part of a treble wining team

 

Would still Prefer Mahrez to Payet, he is the better player imo. However he will go somewhere bigger than us I feel. Guess we will have to make do with Goetze....

 

Remember this? this late goal was really important and i cant remember why now

 

They certainly get plenty of deals agreed outside the windows (but which obviously don't go through until the window opens). It means that the business is sorted early, but also means that players (and managers) play out the rest of the time knowing that they're leaving, so you get situations like the Bayern-Dortmund CL final, where Lewandowski was playing for Dortmund and everyone knew he's be joining Bayern a couple of months later.

 

The biiest. Can you think of a more bi question than how the injury's affected him?

 

Reason I asked is because Payet not only gets goals but can take a free kick

 

You're the biiest bi I can think of!

 

Last minute winner against Everton... Remember that well. Was on holiday at time watching it with my brother.

 

i'm sure it was significant in some way though, either got us top 4 or we needed the points, cant remember. Edit- just found this and it was not significant, it was just a last min winner against the ****e lol

Football: Everton in despair as McAllister pinches it
by IAN MCGARRY, Daily Mail



Everton 2
Ferguson 42, Unsworth 84 pen
Liverpool 3
Heskey 5, Babbel 57, McAllister 90


Liverpool's desire for a Champions League place was enough to overcome the passion of local rivalry last night in a remarkable Merseyside derby.



But Gerard Houllier's side, having dropped five points from six during the last week in their attempts to secure that crucial top-three place, stole the spoils from Goodison Park in the most controversial circumstances.



There had already been four goals, two penalties, a sending-off, a dozen cautions and the three minutes of time added on had long elapsed when Gary McAllister squared up to a free kick 44 yards from goal.



The Scot should not even have been in the position to do so having blocked a Niclas Alexandersson cross with his arm outside his own area moments before. Referee Jeff Winter did not see that offence but there was not a soul in Liverpool who missed what happened next.



Michael Ball brought down Gregory Vignal, Alexandersson was booked for still protesting about the handball that was not given and McAllister whipped his kick low into the corner of the net to win the match for the red half of Merseyside.



Bedlam ensued all over the ground but it could hardly have been greater than what had gone before during 90 minutes of the most absorbing and competitive Premiership match this season.



Walter Smith had tried to inspire his players even more for a traditionally fierce battle by saying that one more win would guarantee their Premiership status. Within five minutes of kick-off, his words were undermined.



Dietmar Hamann lofted a long clearance over the halfway line where Emile Heskey was lurking. Richard Gough, who normally commands his defensive line with such authority, looked on in horror as Steve Watson played the Liverpool striker onside.



Considering Jamie Carragher had clearly used an arm to intercept before the German swept upfield, the surreal atmosphere was entirely understandable. Watson, however, did not recover and Heskey ploughed through and drilled his shot into the net past Paul Gerrard.



But Everton responded. Their method did not overflow with finesse but their sheer effort was worthy of reward. At times, they were guilty of trying too hard and the best move of the first half went begging.



Kevin Campbell headed the ball into the path of Scot Gemmill and his first-time cross caught Duncan Ferguson unaware in front of Sander Westerveld. The striker's air-shot, however, seemed merely to strengthen his resolve.



Three minutes before the break, Ferguson flicked on Ball's cross and Carragher did well to block Campbell's path to goal, aided by Stephane Henchoz. But as the ball broke, Gemmill reacted to a huge shout from behind and Ferguson charged through to dispatch the equaliser.



His booking for the normal bare-chested, fist-clenched celebration seemed unnecessary but then so did many of the other cautions which were dished out. The count ended six apiece but the visitors restored their goal advantage 12 minutes after half-time.



Hamann was again the architect with a run from defence. A long diagonal pass to the left located Robbie Fowler and his centre eventually found Markus Babbel after taking deflections via David Unsworth and Ball. Babbel thrashed his shot past Gerrard.



Everton's sense of misfortune was redoubled three minutes later when Fowler showed too much ball to Gough, who slid in ahead of him and steered it back to the goalkeeper. An indirect free kick appeared appropriate, but a penalty was given.



However, Fowler opted to swagger, rather than run up to the kick and his nonchalant attempt rebounded off a post.



When Unsworth was presented the opportunity to equalise, also from the spot, his approach could hardly have been more different. A no-nonsense drive down the middle had resulted in Sami Hyypia being found guilty of holding Ferguson down as Ball's throw-in landed in the box.



Igor Biscan had earlier become the third Anfield player in as many weeks to be dismissed - after a second booking - but any anarchy within Liverpool's ranks was reserved for celebrating McAllister's late, late winner rather than any protest.



Gerrard was left lying inconsolable on the turf - his mood reflecting that of every Evertonian who witnessed the dramatic finale. It was Houllier's first derby win at Goodison and Liverpool's first in a decade.



That landmark, however, will pale into insignificance if they cannot back it up with a run which will see them compete in the Champions League next season for the first time.

Glad someone got the irony (finally)

 

No one understands you like me....even after all this time.

 

Weve just learnt to ignore him...
