THIRTEEN!!!!! If Alonso had to go (which he did because of the public jerking he was subjected to the previous season, what a blunder that was--not trying to sell him, but the unapologetic public way it was done) could've even done a 15m+Sneijder deal. Sneijder probably would've been played on the left, or benched for Leiva (and I'm not even being ironic). To make maters worse, apparently the Mancs are in for Sneijder (one wonders why they need him though, they've got Carrick, the best playmaker in the premier league).

They are looking to replace Scholes. Carrick didn't play much last season, and the former "best midfielder in the league" Anderson apparently is being sold. So my guess is Darren Fletcher is the current "best player maker" and "best midfielder in the league" according to RD.

Lots of current and former Liverpool players may play in the final, though: Potentially all of Kuyt, Babel, Arbeloa, Alonso, Reina and Torres could get on the field. Don't know how you Liverpool fans would feel about that - probably mixed, I guess (i.e. knowledge that in 2008-2009 you had in your ranks 6 players good enough to be in the squads of the two WC finalists, plus others like Mascherano, Gerrard, Agger, and Carragher might remind you of the missed opportunity last season was).

I always did believe and state that we were the best team in the EPL in 2008/2009, so this doesn't surprise me much. Last season though was something like an episode out of The Twilight Zone. |
