KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Arbeloa to Real Madrid for £3.4m

no use having numbers there if there rubbish an from what i have seen if you are relying on Degan we have big problems, he does'nt even look like a footballer to me, I know we have'nt seen much of him but he's runs round like a headless chicken, no composure whatsoever and reading what the Dortmund fans were saying when he left it does'nt bode well either according to them they were made up to get shut. I know you mentioned Darby but again but for different reasons I still think we have problems, firstly he's untried, the mad Spaniard had plenty of chances to break him in last season but never and i think it would be really unfair on the lad to throw him in right at the start, the pressure could effect him if he started badly and the crowd got on his back. Make no mistake injuries and transfers have left us pretty depleated at present and I think we need three defenders in before the end of next month, experienced cover for right back Johnson a left back which will enable us to give Insua more time to gradualy step in and also a replacement for the big Fin to provide cover for Agger Skittle and Carragher.

Seriously Ged, can you stop turning every thread into a "lets Beat up our manager" thread!!

Shame Arbeloa is going but he'll be spending plenty of time on the pine! Would much have preferred him to stay as back up for Johnson especially for the price. He improved plenty last season and thought we should have got more for him. Would have been very handy in keeping depth in our squad.

Good luck Arby. What I mean by good luck is good luck getting into the first team!

I think some of us are building hurdles before we have even got to the track!!! What if Reina gets injured, what if this, what if that? Maybe we should put it a bid for Casillas? Hey what about a straight swap for xabi!!!

Calm down for Gawd sake!

We haven't got the bottomless pockets that other English sides have and therefore I'm afraid you cannot blame Rafa for not having 10 class players for every single bleeding position!!!

What you can do however, is thank Rafa for getting us to within a whisker for almost winning the title last season with a squad which costs less than Tottenham's and with inferior resources and funds than all of our main rivals!!!

OK we've lost Xabi and Arbeloa, we'll survive. I rememebr some posters saying how crap he was not too long ago.

Insua is perfectly capable of playing left back against any side. And Johnson, Degen, Carra, Darby should be enough for RB. We need to address the midfield, wingers and front line before anything else - and money will dictate who Rafa can get nothing else.

If any of you want your Romes built in a day there's always clubs like madrid, chelski and man city but I'm staying put!

Listen I dont like the manager i think he's a phoney and I will take every chance i can to discredit the man. For me his baffling decision and mouth cost us our best chance of winning the league last season and over the coming season you will find that out, anyway not going to turn this post into soley about the Spaniard. Just think we are very short in experience and numbers in defence at present and this needs to be addressed before the end of next month before we start to look at midfielders, wingers and forwards.

i personally think our squad is nearly perfect nice balance between experience and a few youth player who can supplement the team nicely

Well start thread called "I hate Rafa" or "Sack the manager" and slate him as much you want on those threads!!! See how much support you get from the rest of the LFC SUPPORTERS!!!

We will definately miss Arbeloa because he was good for us last season and improved quite a lot as the season went through. He would have been a great back up for Johnson but unfortunatley now he's gone. This may offer one of the youngsters a go and i think Insua is capable of filling the gap if required.

We know you don't like the manager Ged, you've made that perfectly clear, so stop going on about it as you are in the minority and therefore you are boring the hell out of most of the posters on here.
