Pako to leave - confirmed

[John_Gotti]

Panic buy is almost certainly Babel, he's being played out of position, was overpriced and hasnt done much so far

The Manager is in charge of team matters. What has his assistant got to do with it?

So, was I right?


Pako is missing Rafa's cuddles??

Lets try to remember this is just people guess working on theories, lets not hang a summer buy just because somebody on the 'net said it's true.

****ing hell.

I'll take this with the appropriate pinch of salt, but it's certainly plausible and worth discussing.

As an educated guess at the supposed "panic buy", I'd say Babel?

However, what right does Pako have to question the merits of any signings made by Benitez? His remit doesn't include the scouting or purchasing of players, as far as I know.

Babel or new goalkeeper as we expected to keep Carson for the year. That would have been a panic buy.

Really? Benayoun looked, to me, like a signing that Rafa had nailed on from the start and was actively pursuing for the majority of the summer. Whereas Babel's signing just came out of nowhere which leads me to think he could be the player referred to. This is, of course, if what has been posted is true.

My reasoning is this:
We waited ages before we signed him and I always thought this was indicative of a player we knew we could get but were hanging on so he was always there as a backup.
He occupies a similar squad role to Babel but hasn't played in the PL (I admit that Babel has been used more on the left than Benayoun has been used to but seeing as both use it as a starting position and cut in they are broadly comparable in my book).

Obviously I mentioned both as I think you can make good cases for either. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be Babel if like you say the posted information is true at all.

This bickering is pathetic.

To be fair I think there's just one bloke bickering with himself.

Are you saying gkmacca and Maestro ate the same poster?

This net can be a real turn off at times. People really need to get a grip about what's important and not get their knickers in a twist because they don't like how someone posts.

i dont like the tone of that post

I reckon we can forget about him going to Chelsea or United for a start.
He'll go back to Spain with his family and have his choice of top jobs.

Doesnt that say everything about him


Ill be gutted if he goes to Manure, Fergie will laugh even more after Heinze's failed move

This is at the bottom of the Daily mail article in the comments section:

Get down the bookies now and have a few quid on Gary MacAllister coming in as his replacement, with Gerard Houllier also returning to the club as Director of Football.

The wheels are already in motion, as GH recommended the latest Liverpool signing, Damien Plessi, from his old club Lyon.
