Thanjk you.

makes sense to sign a player after the deadline has passed so we can pay his wages and get nothing in return :whatever:
Well i wouldnt be into paying his wages while he is not here, but i wouldnt be supprised if Rafa signed him on a pre contract with him joining us in the summer, to ward off the likes of Juve in the summer.
Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

Rafa Benitez remains confident of bringing Javier Mascherano to Liverpool ahead of Wednesday night's transfer deadline.
The unsettled West Ham midfielder has been a target for Benitez all month but FIFA rules are blocking the Argentina international from representing three clubs in one season.
Nevertheless, the Merseysiders have appealed and look set to snare the South American on an 18-month deal.
"We are waiting for the answer from FIFA," he told a press conference. "It's clear a player must play.
"There are other cases, similar cases and we have to wait now but I am confident.
"They need to decide right now as we have just two or three days [left].
"First of all, we need to wait but, if he comes, he's a player with character and personality.
"He's a holding midfielder and, just in case we have some problems, he can give us experience and quality.
"I know he's not playing well at West Ham but I know the player and I know the quality he has. Also he's a player not just for now but for the future.
"He will come here for at least one year and a half.
"I knew of the player when I was at Valencia and, at the World Cup, he was very good in all the games.
"He can bring character and quality, the things we will need maybe in some games and, if he plays well, he will put the other players under pressure."
I see there is news of Ehiogu making an appearance for his 3rd club of the season this weekend.
I think this is to do with the registration of the player more than how many teams he has played for. Whilst Ehiogu has played for 2 teams this season Middlesbrough have held his registration. Its the same with Gabor Kiraly, there is a rumour that he is going to Leeds which would make it the 4th club he has played for this season, but up until that takes place his registration would only have been with Crystal Palace.
The difference with Mascherano is that he has already been registered with 2 clubs in different footballing bodies already. This might suggest that we are trying to sign him permanently.
Quit your jibber jabber!!!
Jermaine, you know the song Billie Jean...is it about the tennis player??
I think that if the deal is to happen it will be completed after we play West Ham tomorrow. They wouldn't want a player to come back and haunt them immedietely would they?
