Reina said before Christmas that he is a man of his word and wonât leave before his contract ends. Not sure how much that counts for these days but I certainly wouldnât want to lose him, particularly not to Man Utd.
His quotes this morning mentioned that he was aware that Man Utd would be looking for a keeper at seasonâs end and that he wanted to win trophies. That was to a Spanish newspaper though so there could be a lot which was lost in translation there.
Torres was absolutely atrocious tonight unfortunately. Not even anonymous but atrocious. Iâd hate to see a player of his calibre not get champions league football next year to be honest.
Liverpool boy-wonder Raheem Sterling is being given a dream ticket to join Kenny Dalglishâs Europa League squad â at the tender age of 16.
The teenage sensation has been rewarded for a stunning five-goal display in the FA Youth Cup with a place on the plane for tomorrowâs tie at Sparta Prague.
Attacking midfielder ÂSterling could be on the bench, and if he came on he would become the youngest player to ever appear for Liverpool.
The record is held by defender Jack Robinson, who made his debut at 16 years and 250 days against Hull last May.
Sterling will be just 16 years and 79 days old tomorrow.
Farmer did you hear anyting about the send off Ajax gave Suarez yesterday, sheer class by the sounds of it, presentation, speeches, lap of honour. Some credit to both club and the player himself.
He was linked heavily to United when Ferguson watched the last derby against the huns. Wouldnât read too much into it at the moment - Dalglish goes to plenty of those games. I donât doubt thereâs plenty of clubs who have noticed the performances of Izaguirre, Hooper and Kayal but would doubt thereâs anything to it at this stage other than a few admirers.
Whats the difference between âheavily linkedâ and just linked. What makes it heavy? Is it one broad sheet, sky sports and a rag? Or will 3 rags do? Or 2 Broadsheets?
The Mirror reported it this morning - they are usually bang on about Liverpool. The Mail had it as well. It wasnât just your football gossip websites.
