But if we would be sellling him why we would have to worry about his match fitness?

maybe for if the absolutely crazily unheard of possibilty that he doesnt go anywhere after all and stays a lfc player?

[Resu]

Yes, but what club will pay more than £1,5M for him?

if he homesick as reported there cant be many dutch clubs I guess.
Persnally I hope he stays, from what I have seen he is a decent player capable of filling in at two positions.

with krompkamp reportedly on his way out, rafa will defo get a direct replacement, otherwise we are exposed in that position

as groucho said phillip degen has been mentioned

id like to see us go for zebina on loan

or even better use our CL money (touch wood) to go and get alves

but i think one more will still come in if he leaves

Thanks Fagan!

Is this 'inside' news or extracted from elsewhere?

That is a valid point Svennis.

But the others have a point also

[Guest]

Alves deal is dead for this season. Kromkamp will stay.

[FaganK]

Thanks Fagan!

neither, just pure speculation on my part

i am sure JK will go in the next few weeks

[Bob]

JK may go, but it'd be a massive rabbit to pull Alves out of the hat. JK to go no one else to come in - IMHO of course.

If we get Alves as well, then we really cant have any complaints about the board not backing Rafa.

even if we DONT get alves im perplexed how anyone can say rafa hasnt been backed - big time

Quite true.

[Slim]

Despite the lack of cover can't say I'd be too bother if Krompkamp left.

[Red_Al_77]

It has been an excellent summer for transfers. A lot of talent for a fair price. I'm very pleased especially by Kuyt coming in. Bellamy and Kuyt for me is a potential PL winning front line.

[PTP]

tbh I'd prefer him to stay for now - gives us solid cover at both RB and RM, although he's no world beater he done ok for us when called upon. Unless we bring in the cover I see no point in letting him go at the moment.

[ningnangnong]

The only way i think we'll sell him, is if we feel quite confident about landing Alves.

So, no we won't sell him.

I agree. No matter what people have said and what everyone's opinions of Pennant, Kuyt etc are you can't argue with Rafa when he said on Sunday we have a bigger and better squad and loads more "possibilities".
Its all looking good.
