    David weir is 40years old, half your age neil? I'm sure he's done well for rangers over the last couple of years. He's played against the likes of man utd n valencia recently no? Majid bougherra is supposed to be quite good too. I'm not a fan of scottish football and I almost hate rangers as much as I hate the scum,but you can't be dissing the rangers,they have hardly spent any money over the last 2-3 seasons and they are doing well in the champions league so far.

    Doubt they need soto.Glad we took danny from them,really believe he is going to be as good if not better than the likes of carra.anyway time for bed,think I might have gone slightly off topic.
    We can't take the piss out of anyone while we're in 18th and have Hodger willing to entertain offers for our best players.

    Fair point about the CL this season but really I wasn't dissing Rangers. Kyrgiakos is clearly doing a decent job for us, at least against teams that don't have much pace up front. If he didn't do it for Rangers it doesn't change how well he's performed for us.

    Oh yeah, and f*ck off with your age jibes.

    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

        As for Cahill, cracking player and can only get better. Good pace on him too. If I was comparing Soto to Shawcross I'd compare Cahill with Skrtel. Similar type players IMO, with Cahill looking the better.

        Johnson I'm not a fan of tbh. Not bad, but nothing special for me. Goes to sleep at times and doesn't react fast enough to quick passing on the deck.
        agree with everything there. Soto is decent enough, we were desperately missing aerial ability and if nothing else he gives us that which i suppose give us some different options.

        I just think people are going wee bit over board considering he has played only 3 league games this season, i agree he has been our best CB and probably ou best defender thus far, but we have been absolutely god awful and have been leaking goals left, right and centre so not much to compare.

        But credit where credit is due to himself. Maxi i don't rate either but IMO his best performance in a LFC shirt was today but not a regular stater if we want to challenege.

        As regards Johnson i completely agree, his positional sense and defensive awareness is bloody awful, IMO a defender should be able to defend first and foremost, the rest is a bonus. Over Johnson's career its clear that defending is not his strong point , this has been compounding in his time at LFC.

        IMO Johnson has been a massive flop so far, for a defender that cost 20 million squids, he cannot defend, i'd like to think he'll improve but to be honest i'm not sure he can.

          I said Soto is a ****e player but is a decent signing as the strongest facet of his game is his aerial ability which we have been missign since Sami. He has nothing else to his game other than being good in the air.

          Titus Bramble is great in the air and would win lots of headers but would i **** want him at LFC. Soto has been our best defender this season, but we are 3rd bottom too.

          People are seriously knee jerking and i ask you again where is the contradiction in what i said, IMO its completely valid.

            Some might say you're going a tad overboard in your critique of his abilities.

              Well thats your opinion but to be fair I have complemented him and being great in the air, i've seen him play good few times for Rangers. And even managed to catch him playing for Frankfurt and AEK a few times as well as the national side, and what the rangers fans said about him is stands very true and has done throughtout his career from what i've seen. He is a bit of a donkey.

              He has one thing about his game and that is his heading ability, which to be fair is excellent. This was known way before he was on LFC's radar. We needed a presence in the box defensively and offensively, something that we haven't had since big sami and Soto has provided that.

              Do i think he is a good signing because of that? No not at all. He was a decent buy for a fill in player that can provide a presence in the air and thats it and because the fee was low.

              Like i've said mate i'm not contradicting myself, its more than valid its just plugging a hole that needed plugging, but i am perfectly happy to give credit where credit is due.

                I think you're confusing a good signing with a good player.

                An average player can be a good signing if he fills a gap in the squad that needs filling and if the price is commensurate with what he brings to the squad.

                So he plugs a hole in the squad and the fee was low. That makes it a good signing.

                No-one is claiming he's Franz Beckenbauer.
                .
                Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                  ****e Player but Decent Signing, does that clarify anything or am i just pissing asainst the wind ??

                    I know mate but my point was there is a difference.

                    Soto has done ok for what he was bought for, i;m not saying he hasn't, was excellent today and fair play to the lad, IMO he wasn't a good signing (not yet anyways) but is a decent signing for sure as for reasons specified already.

                    Glad you agree there is a difference

                      Well, I don't think he's ****. He's done OK for us.

                      I think you're going way overboard by calling him ****.

                            IMO Not a good signing just decent, served a purpose, plugged holes as Neil said. Same as Brad Jones.

                                It certainly isn't. Trigonometry actually makes sense.
