Midfielder? Mr. Green the long lost playmaker? Laughing

X-men SG

Yeah!

hope he can do what he did for Real Sociedad

Pen & Paper SG

Bye Bye Didi Hamann. Laughing

Poolman SG

Alonso signing has got nothing to do with Hamann leh i think !

Alonso is the direct replacement for Danny Murphy !

Redz SG

Still waiting leh...I really hope this deal will be sealed soon! To me, his signing will definitely add more excitment n hope to our new season! Very Happy

Benitez will pair Xabi alongside Gerrard in midfield.Just like how he used to pair Abelda and Baraja in Valencia.

Hamann will no longer be a first team player.Diao will be offloaded and Biscan will be fourth in line in central midfield. Idea

I believe Ah Ben have done his homework for Liverpool.

The midfield is weakest area for Liverpool.

That is the area where the players are leaking goals.

The midfielders have a tendency to defend, more than moving forward.

All the doing of GH !

Therefore, Ah Ben is stocking up on wingers and midfielders.

Hamann and Diao will be out soon, they are just waiting for clubs to adopt them.

Now, need to gel the players and get their belief back.

incredible SG

I dun see any good right sider midfielder...Nunez good meh?
If good, he will be in real madrid first 11.

Ben need to beef up his right midfield follow by the defence.

But i am disappointed he didnt went for saviola....
tt guy is a class act.

Poolman SG

[i]Excuse me boss , have you got any idea who's covering the right midfield slot or Real madrid ?

The answer is Luis Figo , once of those first Galaticos among those galaticos !

Even if Luis Figo isn't playing , they still have Dave Decky as cover , so ......

There's alot of players in the world that's good and still was not given a chance , he's one of them , let's wait and see if Benitez has got the right players !
