Naples is nice:

Did Rafa sign him for us?

I'm sure he'd like the weather in Naples.

I thought it was Kenny that signed him.

[Cormack74]

I thought it was Kenny that signed him.

It probably was: that period where we had Rafa, Woy and Kenny in quick succession tends to merge in my head.

[Daniel 7]

Dalglish / Comolli signing

[Assassin]

s'apping with him?

[Shaggy]

I'd have him above Kolo in the pecking order tbh. I know I'm in a small minority but I like him.

[Assassin]

I like the guy myself. I would like to see him hang around, as I dont feel he has had a decent roll of the dice in his time here.

As for Kolo, I hope he is out this window. IMO he cost us the title last season

[Gazzla]

As a 4th choice CB I've no problem with him, I can't remember him doing too much wrong whenever I've seen him play and is still young in defensive terms. I'd take him every day of the week over Toure

I'm with you there, and not sure you're in the minority. Seb's looked really good in preseason, I'd be happy if BR gave him a run this year as the #4 CB. Especially since if we try to sell now we're not likely to get any kind of fee.

[Fosterbloke]

Wisdom played really well the last pre-season then he was loaned out.

I do hope Coates gets a chance with us this season. After all, he did win the 2011 Copa America Young Player of the Tournament, so he's clearly not ****.

Reading further in this article it mentions that PSG were close to making a bid due to an injury to Sakho! http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/f...l-2342927.html

I think you're probably in the majority. Not many people want Kolo anywhere near the team!

[Pablo]

I'm not a big Coates fan but I think even I'd probably rather have Coates in the squad ahead of him now

[captainfog]

I like him too but I worry about his lack of pace. Thought Rodgers treated him a bit shabbily after that league cup defeat two years ago.

[Shaggy]

I meant I was in a minority for liking Coates rather than wanting him to be ahead of Kolo. I'm pretty sure I am - most on here seem to think he's ****?
