KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Owen,Barry and Rosicky all free ..??

SO what do you think..

I know Owen has passed his best, but he is still good enough to be a backup to Torres for a season or 2 ?

We are lacking depth in the midfield , if you regard SG as a fwd then we only have Lucas , Xabi and Masch as experienced players ...Barry would add depth and more of an attacking look to our side @ home in partnership with Xabi ..?

Rosicky is a creative player that has been really badly hit by injuries , but if we use him as a bit part player , mostly a sub and cups ... he gives us alot more options and flair ...really the only skillful player we have is Benni

All 3 would be great squad players and won't cost a fortune , maybe Barry would want a raise from his current contract but still very worth it...

It will then leave us with some cash to add youth and speed to our starting 11 , maybe Luis Antonio Valencia(Wigan) and Glen Johnson( Pompey) @ RB

I think Arbeloa has been great this season ..but i don't think he is going to get much better ....He could make us a huge profit with Barca , A.Madrid , Valencia and Sevilla all interested in him , granted Johnson won't be cheap and he has a new contract but we need his directness and pace.

LA Valencia would be great but he is just an example of the type of player we need ....

I like Afflenly,Drenthe and Van Der Vaart ...all could be available but not cheap !

Just to say again I'm not saying change the whole team , just add depth and more competition for places

Glen Johnson Rafael van der vaart and then we need fresh attacking mids ours just don't cut it in my opinion


Barry and Owen

PLEASE NO !

from what i hear rosicky is the unnamed premiership player who is on a one year drugs ban - obviously i can't be 100% certain but as my source happens to be within arsenal itself i would guess he knows what he is talking about ... so on that basis i wouldn't want him anywhere near the club

I wouldn't take any of them, we could do without the freebies and it's about time we started to sign the players that Rafa actually wants.

Mate I would take em all if they are free. Especially Rosicky cause he is a very good talent.

free? all of them?

owen is for sure. barry and rosicky though? barry has to buy out his contract which we would end up paying for, only a few million though compared to 16m. and that rule is hazy at the moment. don't think he would do it anyway if villa get into the champions league. as for rosicky, i have no idea. never heard anything about him. very good player when fit. similar to benny. what's this about him and drugs??

they are all very good players. barry might get in the first team, the other 2 would be squad players...

the rosicky drugs things is because there are reports (which the FA have not denied which seems significant to me) that one prem player has been banned for a year after failing a drugs test, it has been hushed up and the player has been listed as injured ....... someone i know at arsenal tells me that the player concerned is rosicky

obviously i cant be 100% certain but he is a very good source

that would be a dreadful midfield no pace no drive from the middle and both of your wingers are not wingers just awful really we would keep the ball for 90mins and do nothing at all with it

I'd take Owen back in a heartbeat as long as he was prepared to play 2nd fiddle to Torres, still not many better finishers about. I'd also have Barry as long as it never meant the end of Xabi.

Lucas can pass just fine, remember his world class through ball for Gerrard against Newcastle? you can hardly blame the lad for not having the confidence to try them all the time when he seems to have become the latest Whelan/Houghton/Carragher/Murphy/Smicer/Voronin style scapegoat.
