Sorry I am more than likely wrong but I thought Walcott (and his dad) are Gooner fans.....that's why he went there. Probably wrong.....wouldn't be the first time.
I would welcome Barry, Mido, and Lennon but my preference would be to get Ribery (anythings possible if the player wants to come here) and Barry. People need to remember that there was alot of pundits that said we couldn't afford Torres cause everyone was after him and the price will be pushed up too high. We got him and if Ribery wants to come here we have a good chance of getting him too.
Walcott is definitely a Liverpool fan.
Has Ribery ever mentioned wanting to play for Liverpool?
And Gareth Barry is not of the calibre of player we should be looking at.
