I think Matt is right in this instance. Torres is one of the only players left that looks as though he has some form of loyalty.


Love him!!

Don't want to piss on your chips Anna, but Glen Johnson and his partner said something very similar to me, personally at the beginning of the month.


Looks like he is now going back to Chelsea. Loyalty is sadly a concept that 99.999% of all footballers struggle with immensley, whereas the concept of ?????????????????????????s they all seem to be able to grasp!

I thought Glen Johnson was coming to Liverpool, until I read we were signing Micah Richards.. maybe the papers are correct on both and they'll be fighting for the right back slot..


I'd have thought Glen Johnson going back to Chelsea would be a footballing mistake as all the ingrediants that took him off the tracks in the first place are still going to be at the Bridge..

Liverpool probably cannot afford him. I think they merely started off the bidding process with Man City and Chelsea wading in, however I believe his release clause relates to Champions League and the England manager has ben pressing him to get CL experience ahead of the world cup.


Of course, Chelsea could activate the release agreement, and that basically means he is available to any club, because Pompey would then take the highest bid regardless of CL involvement. Either way, it aint liverpool.

Crouch money not due for another 12 months but is outstanding. Looks like we will be offloading him to Tottenham however (note this is not from the player himsef though so could be wrong). That'll pay up the 'Pool debt.


As soon as we get our takeover complete the better, cos with all these players leaving we could really do with a manager to identify some new ones!

I think ?18.5m would be too much for Glen Johnson - I'm not even sure we'd see much of his attacking ability as he'd soon have to follow the party line of sitting deep to cover Carragher's lack of pace. I'd like to keep Arbeloa as he can do a good job at left back or right back. Hopefully Rafa can raise some money by flogging Dossena back to Italy.

Johnson would be good in those home games like Stoke etc.

We only need a RB a centre back cover and a striker cover in my opinion, so if he thinks 18 mill gets one of those then is OK by me.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
