ronaldo has gone to madrid!!

[basslinejunkie]

doesnt matter if u got 80 mill for him. any player you replace him with will be a step backwards. hes the best in the world.

great news indeed that you are loosing him.

[C.O.Prodigy]

you guessed right for the final

if you did actually understand anything about top flight football then you would be aware that these type of games hinge on a knife edge, one moment of brilliance can turn an entire match, things could have easily been different in the champions league final if united would have scored first

That's right. They were so close to scoring in that first minute.

As for Ronaldo, I bet that sir Alex is thinking ahead and that he has something up his sleeve. Although sir Alex is the main reason that the final went the way it did. He gabled and lost, fair enough I reckon.

Fergie complaining about United had the knocking stuffed out of them when the 1st goal went in. It changed the game.

Liverpool had 3 put past them in a CL final. Ok Milan are no Barcelona of this year but they were a ****ing good team.

United just didn't have the fight at all. There midfield with or without fletcher is average. It was a goal ffs, they had another 80 minutes to score 2.

Barca had a makeshift defence aswell..

United ****ed it up, to come back from 1 goal is no mission impossible, try 3 goals.

They just didn't have the desire the fight or the belief to try and go forward...

[basslinejunkie]

united had no answer to good teams all year.

[C.O.Prodigy]

What must Liverpoool do to win the Premiership next season?

[DarkYoung]

think it will be like next year

Chelsea
Liverpool
Arsenal
Man Utd
Man City

but only thing im doubtful of really is whether man utd can get a fourth spot, they be fifth.

[basslinejunkie]

What must Liverpoool do to win the Premiership next season?

spend all our money on 1 player i.e. villa or silva rather than 5 mill x 4 for mediorce players.

we are only 1 or 2 world class players short of a prem winning team.

That's sounds reasoning but risky. If that one player gets injured then you got a problem, but otherwise it's a good idea.

So you think that Liverpool needs forwards like Villa or Silva? Both are sweet players, I like Silva more but he isn't a pure striker. What about other positions?

I think that Liverpool needs more points against other teams since they always do well against the big 3 (Arsenal, Man Utd., Chelsea), points from other games might serve them well in a run for the championship.
It might be prudent to forget about the CL next season and to concentrate on the Premiership for once, that focus could be enough to win it.

[Spacehopper]

yea david silva would be a great signing..... theres talk of benitez going for lavezzi from napoli aswell who looks a decent player, but id much prefer david villa..

thing is about uniteds 80 million, they can buy a few world class players but will the team gel aswell as it did with ronaldo? rooney and ronaldo had a certain understanding and maybe without ronaldo, rooney may not be as effective..

the same thing might happen as it did with spurs....bought many good signings but they were bottom of the table for god knows how long.


i also read that united are gonna bid 40 million for fernando.......

[C.O.Prodigy]

Lavezzi is very similar to Messi, a skillful player. Another great Argentine is Zarate, who plays for Lazio, who is more of a power forward in my book, Ginola like. Depends on what Rafa wants in the end.

Also in my opinion there are no facts to suggest that Man Utd might have that kind of a season. Judging from previous seasons and from what Sir Alex has been doing with Utd, disharmony shouldn't really be in store.

[Spacehopper]

yea im not saying they are gonna be as bad as tottenham were , just with a few new players in the team they could take time to settle in...
mind you it was tottenhams dodgy defence that was the reason for many of their losses, somethin united have no need to worry about

[SlavikSvensk]

80 mil can fill a lot of holes.

[C.O.Prodigy]

I think they beat Tottenham 5-2 last fixture, much stronger then Tottenham.
Some players maybe, but most have played for the reserves and some cup games, shouldn't take them more then half a season to be in Aston Villa form.

The red devils have a good defense but if I was "Whisky Nose" I would look for one more good DC(central defender) like Gabriel Milito or Alex to back up Rio and Vid.

Liverpool have a goon enough squad to play against the Villa's and the Everton's and the Portsmout's and Man City's of the premiership. Even without new signings they should, with Riera and Babel and Fabio Aurelio, do better in the "easier" games. Yes look ahead to new signings and how to beat Chelski and Man Utd, but also not spend to much energy on just the big four. The season is long and home fixtures are key. If they win all home games, that's like job half done, imo.

I will laugh my twat off if madrid win nothing this coming season..

Fingers crossed

i'd be more worried about your own midfield fella, alonso is as good as gone, barca want masch, and your main target, barry, has gone to city

looks like it's gonna be lucas and gerrard for you next season

:lol: you're comparing united to spurs? are you havin a joke?

if anything, ronaldo leaving will be a positive in terms of team spirit, and as for rooney, he will now have the opportunity to shine brightest

[force]

Wouldn't it be hilarious if united knock Madrid out of the CL next season

[C.O.Prodigy]

I will laugh my twat off if madrid win nothing this coming season..

Fingers crossed

It could happen. There is more evidence to suggest that happens to Real, since it did in the past, then to any other big club - except (Milan and Inter). Egos and big salaries don't mix well, any coach is going to have a hard time making a team out of individual stars. On the other hand if it succeeds it could be spectacular.

that would be ace, madrid will find it difficult again next season in the league and europe, buying talent seldom amounts to an over-night fix
