Who should we go for now that Heinze has gone to Madrid?
Submitted by tony on Thu, 2007-08-23 18:10.
Now that Gabriel Heinze's move collapsed after the league ruled against a move to Anfield, he has joined Real Madrid. He would have been cover at left and centre back, but should we go for instead now?
Not many defender's names have been linked with Liverpool over the summer, it was all about strikers and midfielders, but there is only a week to go to get someone else in before the transfer window shuts. Who do you think we should go for?
new defender
I think liverpool should look at philip lahm... pay whatever is needed...
centre back
i dont think we need a winger more than we do a centre back.
a tall big centre back is what rafa needs to buy..
the left back can be filled in by riise ..right back finnan..and we all have seen that arbeloa can play both left n right..
but we need cover for carra and agger...
MOMO
Just a thought.Why don,t we try momo as a central defender?He is tall,fast, brave,great tackler and can be groomed in the reserves for that job on the weeks he is not playing for the first team.He must improve his reading of the game of course and his positional sense ,but it's worth a try.He might succeed, also he might turn into another Igor Biscan...
Your views please.
vincent kompany is replacement
quite simply VINCENT KOMPANY, he is the best alternative to heizne out there at the minute, Rafa should trick coax and steal his way into getting this lad to start thinking about liverpool and maybe get him in the jan window or next season, he is worth the wait, yound with bags of skill and great at his number one job defending, with carra getting older this lad can come through with agger and form a partnership which would be lethal over the next 10yrs or so.
VINCENT KOMPANY - WE MUST BUY THIS GUY
VINCENT KOMPANY IS THE BEST YOUNG DEFENDER IN EUROPE AT PRESENT, AND RAFA MUST GO OUT AND BUY THIS GUY. HE HAS SO MUCH TALENT, HE READS THE GAME SUPERBLY, TACKLES OUT OF THIS WORLD, AND LOVES BREAKING FROM DEFENCE , TURNING DEFENCE INTO ATTACK. THIS IS THE MUST BUY PLAYER FOR LIVERPOOL.
oh yeah i forgot to add ..i
oh yeah i forgot to add ..i think ezequel garay( dunno if the spellin is rite) from racing santander or daniel jarque from espanyol are good team players and wouldn even cost that much...or maybe some african defender..
Stefen Darby
Well i will still give hypia a chance..and i don't really think we desesperately need buy a defender.
Agger and hyppia can do the job... or we have youngster darby who showed good skills in preseason though he scored an ongoal, anyway even caragher started like that...but he is a future caragher, why not give him a chance, even when agger came nobody was giveing him a chance to succeed...
Who do u guys want to bring as cover for caragher who would accept to be on the bench????
Do u want rotation among defenders also now or what??????
Anyway i still believe the best defence is to attack, it don't matter if caragher is not playing we concede goals if We are scoring much more than the opponent and winning...its upfront that the problem is still going on, not in the back!!!
May be Vincent Kompany can do a good job, but he is not a central defender.
Arbeloa is a very good deal made from benitez, plays so well on both sides, who knows how he'll play in the central position ;)
DERBY ARBELOA RIISE
IF WE DONT SIGN ANOTHER DEFENDER IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, RIISE HAS SERVED US WELL AT LEFT BACK OVER THE YEARS, ARBELOA HAS PROVED HE CAN PLAY AT RIGHT OR LEFT BACK WITHOUT LETTING THE TEAM DOWN, DARBY LOOKED USEFUL IN PRE SEASON AND SAMI STILL HAS A PART TO PLAY THIS SEASON. I HAVE SAID THAT THE PLAYER I WOULD LIKE US TO SIGN IS VINCENT KOMPANY WHO TO MY MIND IS SHEER CLASS, BUT EQUALLY I AM CONFIDENT WITH THE PLAYERS WEVE GOT.
WE DONT NEED A DEFENDER
I agree with EDDIE888, we dont a defender that much. Riise and Arbeloa are good at left back and we have Fabio Aurelio. I cant wait for him to be back, he is good at free-kicks, something that we lack greatly. Riise n Alonso should be banned from taking free-kicks, they waste them. What do you think?
THE ARROGANCE OF FERGIE
FERGIE SAYS THE MANCS ARE NOW LOOKING INTO US TAPPING UP HEINZE, RAFA HAS CERTAINLY RATTLED FERGIES CAGE.FERGIE TRIES TO RUN ROUGHSHOP OVER EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. HE IS THE MOST ARROGANT FOOTBALL MANAGER IN THE WORLD. THE SOONER WE SHUT THIS SCUMBAGS MOUTH UP FOR GOOD THE BETTER.I LOVE RAFA'S COMMENT THEY ARE OBVIOSLY A TEAM RUNNING SCARED.
I have never
I have never wished harm or death or disease on anyone before in my life.I try to cure those things.But oh god do i hope that this f**king arrogant ***t get some severe illness and f**k of for the rest of his sorry ass life.
I would love to slapp the sh*t out of him when i see his ugly whiskey breathed red face.F*cking kill the cunt when he comes to anfield and make him sorry he ever was a part of the salford **** pile of a club.
F**king **** of a manager,..worse than mourinho.Ill be waiting to see if anything happens to our club coz of him.and im sure im not the only one.
Ynwa and lets show these f**king ****s what were made of and kick some shit out of his f**ked up apprentice keane.
fergie....
scouse4 life1979 , calm down we all hate fergie but it will take more than rudolph to affect it.the mancs will allways envy us and that is how it will allways be. henize wanted to come to l,pool and fergie could not handle that, his brain does not understand that a player needs to move on to improve himself. and after playing for a crap team, he wanted to play for a team with class, and aclass manager hence l,pool and benitez...
I agree but cut the language down a level - Family site and all
Agree with your comments and feel the same way but dont give yourself a hernia mate, calm down, famiy site and all that, besides youll agree we can rise above all this now and crack on going for the title, it only shows the others that were arsed if we constantly complain and show them we care how they affect us,
CUT OUT THE SWEARING
I AGREE WE ALL HATE FERGIE , BUT THIS IS A FAMILY SITE THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE SWEARING.
Eddie888
Hit your caps lock button mate, its classed as shouting if you type in caps.
Everyone will read your opinions still, as you usually make good points!
SORRY KOPITE
SORRY KOPITE BUT I AM PARTIALLY BLIND I CAN SEE CAPITAL LETTERS FAR EASIER THAN LOWER CASE, THATS WHY I POST MESSAGES IN CAPS.
Stulivered
I apologise for the obscene language used.its been a hard day at work and it has aggrevated things by that bastards comments.Im just thinking about it like this....if the Fa do find us guilty what could happen to us??
I mean imagine if this is really our season yeah? and we get deducted points and end out losing to the bastards in manure land.This is whats been worrying me.We have started well and they have been piss poor.Its just a cheap way to rock our confidence.Knowing our lads that easily happens.
Sorry again Rouman and stulivered.
CHILL no worries, we all reds
Couldnt agree any more with you than i all ready do scouse, fergie is a bastard and his band of dipshits eg forgetful ferdinand and chuckle brother 1 gary neville, all a load of tossers,
just gotta be careful how extreme we get on websites eg i got booted last few months ago frm 1 for going ott, wasnt arsed because it shit site but wouldnt want same happen on this one, but yeah fergie is a T###, ANYWAY 3 POINTS TOMO AGAINST KEANO'S MOB SHOULD LEAST BE SOME SATISFACTION, believe both sides captains out so be interesting see xabi and masch if they can gel, if so be able rest stevie few more times,
With rooney,ronaldo,saha out and solskjar needing a wheel chair these days, we could steal a march on Man ure this time, and with us showing Chavski who is really the better team, could be interesting season,
Manchester/shefield United
The way Man U are carrying on with this talk about Liverpool being punished for 'tapping' up Heinze is just the same as the Sheffield/West ham thing at the end of last season. Because West ham had a better run at the end of the season Sheffield UTD where at a loss so they took it out on the better team instead of facing their own problems and admitting faults. Because Liverpool are having a good start to the season and Man U are Struggling, they are venting the anger and shame out on us. Put simply, they are embarrassed!
just shows why
Just shows why I hate all the uniteds out there .They are all scum.They plan to cause disruption in the ranks at any club who has the ability to beat them or has beaten them.
Ferguson said it himself.that he envys our 5 euro titles.No need to be a baby about it fergie.buy a dvd and watch em all again.
Hope tottenham beat them or at least a goaless draw.
Defense
For all those who think our defense is good - would you be so confident if (God forbid) Jamie got injured? Without him our defense would be as vulnerable as Spurs's! We need another big strong lad to cover. I read before someone saying Momo would do well and i think that is not a bad idea at all! Not so sure if he would like it but its either that or THE DOOR!
Use the force. If you can't do that start drinking Heavily!!
