David Villa on Liverpool speculation....

[Johnny]

Sorry, I still think you're selling Klose short - "lower profile steady workhorse type striker"?
He's proved himself on the world stage more than either Villa or Torres has.
What makes you think that getting him would be "settling for second best"?
Rafa will buy whomever fits into the team the best. Rightly so, IMO.

And we end up with a similar player to Crouch,Kuyt and Bellamy,great players but not world class.It`s a pedantic arguement until we sign klose and he proves one of us wrong

[Maestro]

I think Klose is, er, closer to 28/29 than 31 mate.

IIRC - he turns 29 in June.

If you remember correctly? Do you make a habit of remember footballers' birthdays?

We`ve chased Alves,Figo and Simao recently and lost out due to price or pay issues.That shouldn`t EVER happen again.
BTW,i think Klose would do a decent job at `pool but there must be better out there.

Alves and Simao dont fit into the big player bracket for me. Figo does but he was going for free wasnt he so that'd be worth the gamble.

Alves is probably the most complete right sided player in the World. If he isn't a big name player then nobody is.

There you go again

Name one better right sided player then? One who can play as good in defense as in attack.

I dont doubt his ability but is he classed as a 'big' player? No he isnt. Defenders generally arent known as 'big' players.

Steven Gerrard

And the Milkman takes the lead!

[AFII]

Steven Gerrard

He is as good as him and he can play in more positions and that makes him a more complete player.

I don't think you can find another one.

[tomasjj]

I like the idea of Klose Maestro. Trez, on the other hand

I wouldn't be surprised if both Trez and Klose scored tons here if they came.

[tomasjj]

Maybe i sold myself short with my comment by not knowing anything about him, i do but i just dont rate him as highly as the other players id like to see come to us IMO

Not seen him but don't rate him??

I would admit I ****ed up if I was you....not that I would admit it if I was I.

[Jayesh87]

He is as good as him and he can play in more positions and that makes him a more complete player.

hmmm maybe not....but personally i don't think we need a complete right sided player, i would prefer we signed a right winger who has plenty of flair and tricks and offered us that cutting edge and can make things happen when you play smaller teams (everton) and they just sit back and defend.

[Red Chilli]

there is a lack of world class strikers around that is going to be the problem in the summer i can not imagine rafa paying over the odds for a player
