dragg SG thats what i remember. he got more than leeds united. a lot of hoo-ha then. if i did not get it wrong he actually turned down chelsea, saying liverpool has more prospect.
Patrik SG Finnan was superb last night. Luis Garcia and Xabi Alonso were all over the field. Gerrard play well last night. Sissoko had a good game too. Peter Crouch is a total disappointment.He is just there to add up to 11 players.I cant see the reason why R.B brought him.He din make any contributions to Liverpool at all.
Shigemichi Take SG I dun understand either. He should be brought out and not Nando who had a better game than him. I can't understand why RB bought that beanpole in the first place. Lucky RB decided to play on a 4-4-2 formation and not the stupid 4-4-1-1 formation. RB might as well be stuck with Owen and Heskey if he wants to play the beanpole as a lone striker.
Orions Belt SG you remembered wrongly. 5 million pounds was the transfer, of which 3 went to Kewell and only 2 went to Leeds.
dragg SG it is more than that. there was a lot of cover-up. read this. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/07/13/1058034874056.html
Patrik SG In my personal point of view,Heskey is better than this Crouch. Definitely,any ex Liverpool strikers wld win this Beanpole hands down. Robbie Fowler,Micheal Owen,Titi Camara,Nicolas Anelka.
Shigemichi Take SG What about Erik Meijer? The german if i'm not mistaken? during titi camara era. I'd prefer Liverpool's GOD, Fowler to that beanpole. He's more of the complete striker. I remeber there's one season when Reds drew with Devils 2-2 with Fowler's cracking goal against Shemicheal. I doubt that beanpole could do that.
Orions Belt SG The deal was 5 million. 3 million apparently went to Kewell of which 2million went to his agent. The other 2 million went to leeds. Here is a more recent article which maybe you wanna read.http://www.theage.com.au/news/soccer/kewell-transfer-saga-rolls-on/2005/09/06/1125772503458.html
Orions Belt SG You forgot Milan Baros. The man Crouch was brought in to replace. I actually think the replacement might just turn out to be worse! Crouch gotta start playing and scoring!
Shigemichi Take SG Yeah man. RB bought him for more than 5 million pounds right? and with the way he played, i dun think he's worth that much. They might as well pair Nando and cisse.
Orions Belt SG 7 million for Peter Crouch. Gosh.. I really do hope Crouch starts to repay his managers faith in him.
dragg SG while at leeds he was one of the best players in the premiership. leeds deserves to make more than the 2 million pounds.
Orions Belt SG so the fee wasn't as massive as you initially claimed it to be lah. Nevertheless, I agree that Leeds should have got more from the transfer, but unfortunately it was the way it is. They could have handled it differently but circumstances permitted them. 2 million better than Kewell walking free on a bosman.
