Apparently we have made a £5m bid for Matt Taylor

[kopash]

so it's time to offer hima new deal then?

why not include some stats on goals scored/assists? Of course Pompey will concede more goals than us

[SouthAfricaRed]

Where do opposition teams aim to attack us, mate?
Where did Milan get the crosses in from?

I am not saying he is terrible, but he is the defensive weak link and to improve the defense he is the one we could replace with a better player.

Neither of Milan's goals came from an error from Riise. The fact that opposition target him makes the 17 goals in 28 games even more impressive. Not all 17 goals were his mistakes

[AFII]

If we want to be the best then we can't afford to have any weak link. We need high quality players all over the pitch and on the bench.

Riise is quality but not high quality.

Lahm will probably be available after Bayern signed Jansen.

Sell Riise and buy Lahm.

I'd prefer a left back who was comfortbale on the ball and doesn't need to resort to hoofing it

People want rid of Risse because of his supposed defensive frailties.

Why would Pompey concede more goals than us as a matter of fact?

Liverpool uses a different system in defence and all new players have battled with it to start off with. Why get someone new in that will not really improve on the existing player?

Who is the weakest player in our backline then?

I just think it is him.
You apparently don't.

I think we will leave it at that.

Because they dont have players of the same ability as our other defenders, or perhaps Linvoy Primus is in fact as good as Jamie Carragher?

You should stop playing FM. Why will Bayern sell Lahm? Jansen is 21yrs old. He's a baby as far as LB are concerned

I'm not saying Riise is world class, but Liverpool as a team have other priorities. We dont have an endless amount of cash. Riise is doing a Good job. Our defence is not our problem.

Besides I thought you said Insua is the heir apparent? Why are you looking for someone else?

[AFII]

Jansen play for the German national team so he isn't a baby.

[SouthAfricaRed]

So does Lahm. Jansen is his understudy and will play in Midfield. He wont displace Lahm in the Big games

You dodged the Insua question nicely

Schweinsteiger will not be happy to hear that

[SouthAfricaRed]

Schweinsteiger will not be happy to hear that

And Again - The Dodge

[AFII]

I still think that Insua will be our long term left back but he is still young and we need one experienced high quality left back to help him the coming two-three seasons.

Why not sign the best left back in the World?

The Best Players in the World dont win you competitions. The Best Team does. Surely the example of Real Madrid and Barcelona has proven this. We need one or two World class players to compliment our existing team not Eleven World Class players

eh? Real Madrid and Barcelona? Barce have 2 of the best 3 players in the world but win things? Real have numerous superstars and are top of La Liga?

Now if you had said Sevilla i would have understood.
