    Apperently Harry Kewell could be off to… Fulham!

    I odn’t think it’ll happen since he has been playing pretty well at Liverpool considering how long he’s been out for, Plus Rafa Benitez believes in him and thinks this time he’ll play his best football this/next season.

    manchester united should buy many talented players like miguel veloso,bosingwa andalan hutton a good chance to strengthen their defence

    January 3rd, 2008 @ 14:43

    Man Utd should go for “super” Johnny Paintsil from West Ham – a hidden gem off to the African nations cup. Would walk into Barcelona’s team when on top form.

    January 3rd, 2008 @ 17:31

    Arsenal should strengthen their current team with world class forward/striker. Nicola Anelka will be a good choice since he has been with Arsenal before.

    In my personal opinion, Arsenal will be crown BPL champion this year because this team is hungry and thirsty. Meeting AC Milan will be a good test for their bid to capture champion league this year. If Arsenal can beat AC Milan, for sure Champion league will be theirs. MU play the most entertaining football in BPL but this team is inconsistent in their matches. Liverpool is also one of the most inconsistent team of the top 4. Chelsea will never be the BPL champion again forever in my opinion.

    Honestly i think man united should seriously look at Berbatov, his already said he wants to come and we only really have 3 strikers in Rooney, Teves, and Saha. with Giggs aging, i think Quaresma from Porto would be an excellent replacement and since Neville’s situation doesnt look to promising and we need a permanent substitute Bosingwa or richards would be something to look at.

    January 6th, 2008 @ 12:37

    Liverpool Should buy the good players like drogba,Ronaldinho,Joaquin,Sergio Ramos, And Cristiano Ronaldo.

    January 7th, 2008 @ 13:26

    I think benitez will be sacked with Mourinho taking over. I wont be suprise with the likes of terry,lampard and drogba joining over.

    January 7th, 2008 @ 14:28
  9. the special1 fan

    I agree with rasa sayang. I think jose should take over liverpool, they have fabulous players however they always lose with benitez
    beside,sven should bring some players to strength man.ct

    & for tottenham, try find experience goal keeper like ricardo,bartez or hilario

    January 8th, 2008 @ 11:05
  10. Baluku Martin Mabunda

    No, no, no! Diarra should not go. He is a multpurpose. He should learn from Flamini. He too was once thirsty to leave the gunners. He is now one of the master minds in Arsenal’s assasinations. Diarra is too good but let him wait for his time to come. Gilberto should exit and Denelson should establish himself more.

    Pennant (Portsmouth, £5 million)
    Alonso (Real Madrid, £20 million)
    Kewell (Fulham, £3 million) — Could include Hyypia in a double coup for ex Finland boss Roy Hodgson
    Voronin (PanathiniAkos, £1.5 million)
    Crouch (Manchester City, £12 million) — Could be part of Elano switch
    Kuyt (FC Bayern Munchen, £18 million)

    possible in: —

    Hart (£8 million, City)
    Taylor ( £7 million, Newcastle)
    Bruno Alves (£6 million, Porto)

  12. Liverpool_Fan

    Alot of those are mouth watering prospects for liverpool fans but the one i hope for the most is also the most unlikely one the aguero one the reason it is unlikely is that over the next 2 tranfer windows liverpool have roughly 50 million to spend and its clear Benitez wants at least 3 tranfers so its unlikely he will spend 30 million on one player.

    January 8th, 2008 @ 20:17
  13. Liverpool_Fan

    I am also suprised we are linked with Berbatov, Elano and Alves!?

    As a MU fan, i believe MU will be able to retain the title.
    Although for time being,their do have some striker & defender crisis but i think with some minor tweak, MU able to produce a power squad. As FYI, Wes Brown may be on his way White-lane and with Neville still recovering, i hope Fergie would land-in a reliable player..may be Miguel (Valencia) or Chivu (Inter).Just forget bout Berbatov..to costly for “stingy team” like MU… May be their can bid for Santa Cruz(Blakburn) he seem to be a goal scoring machine or Saviola (RM)…or Luca Toni(B.Munich) if MU willing to spend alot of money… MU might repeat treble 1999 with this revised team… EPL title, FA Cup, Champions League…hahaha

  28. LFCfan2000

    By the way Liverpool are not dreamers and have a very good team and manager. By the way alonso is worth around 20 mil. I don’t see why man u fans think there team is so good though because they don’t win too much and there saying we are rubbish and they win about the same so basicaly they are calling them self rubbish as well. Thanx for reading.

  39. jimil ike ur mum

    I predict Berbatov will leave Tottenham 2 1 of the top 4 english teams or Barcelona or Madrid, Ballack and sheva will leave chelsea and maybe drogba, and Liverpool will most likely sell Harry Kewell,

    P.S. the spec1al fan, u r a dumbass thinking ” Ballack 4 Kaka (8.5mil)

    Ive seen all those Man U fans saying they whant to see Quaresma in their team but if you ever watch a Man U game C.Ronaldo tries to be the show over and over does those step overs great player! but a bit selfish at times anyways Quaresma is exactly the same tries to be the show and if Uve ever watched a Portugal match where C.Ronaldo and Quaresma are both playing one of the players always ends up having a bad game or gets subed out and why? because they are both the same. Rite now Man U has more then enough so I im pretty shure Quaresma wont be part of the Man U squad anytime soon. And for the special1 fan Sagna is French U dick not African

  44. Loyal2TheGame-14

    Man Utd dont really need 2sign more players, theyve got plenty of good player in the squad. With scholes n park bk now they should be okay. My only concern is up front, they have no striker to come in if eitha tevez or rooney get injured. Saha is injured 24/7 n really is a waste of money. Hes a really gd player wen fit, but the trouble is he is neva fit!! I also think that it is the last weve seen of garry neville.

    as for the african cup thinggy..

    i dont think its affecting chelsea at all! they are still winning all their games, even with lampard n terry out alex has been solid at the bk and its brought the best out of ballack.

    I think arsenal are about to go in to a rough patch, espeshialy since gettin thrashed in the carling cup semi-final against spurs.

    Liverpool (or draw f.c.) are doing awfull and they havent got enuff gd decent quality players. Voronin and kuyt are seriously rubbish, and i think theyve got rid of that sisoko who was gd until he had that eye thing. I think liverpool will get the 5 spot wiv everton beating them, or maybe city mite give them a run for their money.. its to early to tel. As for the winner of the premier league.. that is also to early to tel with arsenal n united both joint top n chelsea on form wiv 4 points behind.. this one is goin down to the wire my friends..

    im sorry mate u have the most narrow minded opinions in the world. Your opinion about arsenal winnind is obvisouly fine but the reason is stupid, every single team is hungry to win the title, but the worst, man utd because there inconsistent!!!!!! we have the second best record in the league after 6 games (5 wins 1 defeat) the only team better is chelsea (9 straight wins) and that’s the team that you say will never win the title again, how can u possibly say that, thinking its true… are u god!?!

    are u saying ronaldo is the most overrated player in the world. dont be an idiot, ur obviously not a man utd fan or a fan of anyone better than who you support.
    ronaldo’s credentials speak for themself 27 goals in 28 for a winger yeh… overrated
    rooney is naturally good, he is a complete player although a bit of form lately, will always be a world class player.
    who do u support so i can pathetically nit pick at your players.
