      Didn't say I wanted him, bar him being consistently good. I just don't like the excuse being, why should we buy a player Man City don't want anymore. Bet that person didn't say the same about Joe Cole, say what you like about money, if Chelsea wanted him they would of kept him.

      Chelsea wanted to keep him. But they could not because his contract ran out! So we signed a player that they were desperate to keep. Even better we got 6m out of them as well for Beneyoun. All you hear from chavski now is sour grapes!

      Chelsea purposely let J. Cole contract run dead, they didn't offer him an improved deal.

      If Chelsea wanted to keep him that badly they'd of offered hima  contract he wanted, they obviously weren't too bothered he was going. Probably until he signed for us, they probably thought he'd sign for another London club, and besides Arsenal they didn't see any other London club as a threat.

      Can't really disagree with much said in this thread already.

      We have plenty of players that would keep him out of the team. I wouldn't say he was sh*te, but he's no better than anyone we already have.

      No end product, plus we have Maxi so what's the point. I'd also rather give Amoo a few games, he looks like he can skin heads that lad. I just hope Kuyt isn't preferred over Maxi, it would piss me off to watch another season of Kuyt on the wing!

      Don't know Don't know Don't know.

      Would pretty much make Kuyt a striker again. He would'nt have the right side anymore.

      IMO good player maybe not right for here.

      Chelsea tried for over a year to tie him to a new deal. Money was not the problem. Cole wanted to move on. So as desperate as they were to keep him, he was as desperate to leave, which turns out to be a good thing for him, us and a bad thing for the chavs

      Anyways, this is a SWP thread. I do not want him.

      Rather than waste money on SWP I would look to utilise what we already have. Maxi would start on the right for me. babel can also play out there ( Roy needs to work with babel as he is talented ) as could Johnson even. We also have Amoo and young players like him have to be brought on. If we have money to spend, spend it on a striker were we are really lacking.

      So it is a no for me!
      agree totally with what you have said. I am really interested  to see how ryan babel does this year. a new manager and a new start for him, he could be like a new signing, hes got the talent, he just needs to show what he can do. 2 seasons ago Andy the Gay Blue Gray said that ryan abel was a player to watch for the future and I still believe that he has all the attributes to be a top class player, he has power, pace and a good shooting ability as was demonstrated against lyon last year. His attitude has improved immensely. I was not the biggest Roy Hodgson fan to say the least but he now has my ful backing as Liverpool coach and I believe he can re-ignite Babels flame so that he shows all the Liverpool faqns what they have missed over the past couple of years. We are gonna win the premiership finally this year, YNWA

      We don't need this waster. The thought of his old man at Anfield every other week makes me feel ill. I'd rather have Maxi and Kuyt anyday.

      his brother Bradley Wright Phillips walked past me with a right attitude during TruroFC and Plymouth Argyle (I live in cornwall now).

      Watched the match and both the Wright Phillips brothers have got something in common, they are sh*t. Then again Peter Reid managers argyle so that's no suprise.

      I shouted "peter reid" good luck next season lad, you'll need it" had me liverpool shirt on just to rub his nose in it.
      He's a cheecky blue bitter b***ard!

      He said "I think you lot will stay up"

      Bring in Elia from AJAX

      Quality in W/C better than Babel and younger! Fast and LM
      He's not from Ajax, he plays at HSV, and he's only 2 months younger or something, he is alot better though, I'll agree with that.

      Ajax are going to lose alot of there players, Wiel, Sketenberg GK, Suarez, Elia.. if they go they are fooked.
      That's what you'd expect after this world cup but it doesn't look like Stekelenburg and van der Wiel are going anywhere at the moment, Suarez, maybe. And like I said, although Elia has played a few years in Ajax's youth, he's never been part of their first team and doesn't currently play there.

      I don't understand why we're going for this type of player when we have other options for the position, Maxi, Babel etc. Surely we should be trying to buy a striker to partner Torres?!
