[bumped] French Gems !!!!!

What's going on then? Bolton now saying he's signed a contract but changed his mind and will sign for someone else.

I don't even want him to leave us

[scully]

I'd love to keep him too but our midfield is getting mighty crowded with some great and much younger talent. I'd heard that Bolton are threatening to sue him

[PTP]

My mate runs a cafe in West Kirby that hamann frequently visits(apparently he is a bit of chain smoker,)

Anyway, he asked him what he was going to do just before he went on holiday. Apparently Hamann doesn't want too leave but has been told to go. He certainly doesn't want too leave the north west because his family are settled etc, but he is not attracted by any other north west clubs. My mate reckons he is stalling a move on purpose(digging his heels and tying himself to the railings )so he ends up staying

[Mumsafan]

I hope it works

[The Red Cardinal]

I thought he wanted to stay, and the club wanted him to stay... but he just doubts how much he'll get to play so feels he should move on.

No reason for him to dig his heels in... (if the above is true of course!)

[TheElephantMan]

If he doesn't mind warming the bench for most games I reckon it would be well worth keeping hold of him for at least another season. Sissoko won't be able to play the whole season (suspensions, injuries etc), and although Hamann hasn't got Momo's energy he's easily the next best option in the squad.

It might be that Rafa wants him to leave but not because of footballing reasons.

Hamann will be on a big contract and that money could be potentially better spent on a first teamer rather than an experienced old pro who is going to be sat on the bench more often then not.

I see Rafa is also talking about using Zenden in a central role this year - which means we aren't short of Central Midfielders.

I'm sure we'll miss Hamann's presense though.

French Gems !!!!!

Do they have a future at Liverpool ? I had so much hope for ALT ,but hes just not improved since hes been here.

Unfortunately these gems never had the right type of coach to guide them through from youth level to Premiership football.
Hate to say it but under Wenger I think they would have made more of an impact, maybe not set the world alight but definitely better.
Flo still can develop into a very good little player at Liverpool but will he get the time from Rafa?

hello, first post from me!

They ain't good enough, sadly, and never really looked like they might be. Real shame - suppose you need to take a punt sometimes. As ever, houllier paid about 3 times the price he should have and took more of a punt then he should have...

[armitage]

I've got a mate who is pretty well connected who reckons Rafa said he could leave last summer but Moores persuaded him to let him stay for another year as a ta for Istanbul. Moores paid his wages last season personally aparantly

Yes but remember that even Fergie rang to congratulate Ged on the purchases!! How much did we pay for them?

[Mumsafan]

Total waste of time and money I'm afraid! Altho FSP might still make it somewhere - I quite like him.
