Neill to sign today?

[kopdan]

You'd think West Ham would learn though. Look what happened when they went down last time. It was like a revolving door with players leaving left right and centre...all on massive wages.

I know its new owners but surely they have a good business brain AND a football brain.

Glad to see us stand firm on wages.

[kopdan]

Yes, but I don't like that idea.
Carra must stay in the centre.

and he will

We will either play Palletta / Peltier / new signing there or play 3 at the back.

Guardian also mentin the Ayala loan thing:

Liverpool are exploring the possibility of signing the veteran Argentina centre-half Roberto Ayala from Valencia until the end of the season. The 33-year-old, a mainstay of Rafael Benítez's hugely successful side at the Mestalla, is expected to join Villarreal at the end of the season when his contract expires.

Can someone repeat that for Red chilli....?

[Diego]

don't get the ayala link, we need a right sided cover more than we need central cover, we should focus on another rightback...

[AFII]

If we keep Ayala after his six month loan then we can play next season.....

---------------Reina
Finnan---Ayala-------Paletta----Insua
---------Alonso---Mascherano
Gerrard-------------------------Leto
---------Kuyt------Bellamy

Red Chilli would be very happy....

[Rich]

Not enough South Americans in that line up AF, shame on you

[Flake]

That's assuming Neil was being bought to cover that posistion....

Now he can play anywhere across the back four,so perhaps he wasn't being bought as cover for Finnan?


Perhaps what Rafa was looking for, was cover for his three centre backs...

who will be playing more and more games....

As he's decided to play 3-4-3 for the majority of the remaining games...

i know i helps that he can play anywhere, but we have no right back cover so i assume that thats why he was trying to sign him...

Thank you very much

I would play Peltier if Finnan is injured.

I have a feeling we'll be linked to Upson sooner or later...
