Costs of Squads

Interesting stuff JLC, My boy Bruno Heskey is shaping up as a real bargain as the games go by. I think you need to consider though the silly season gets crazier each year and clubs seem to be going ridiculous on the transfer market and paying a kings ransom for guys who are not worth it(Frank Lampard springs to my mind immediately from this years signings).

Also JLC the weekly salaries would be a truer indication of the pecking order at a particular club.

I was reading that Gerrard Houllier has virtually left the squad unchanged except for possibly the departure of Ziege as he believes we already have the talent in the squad.

In Liverpools squad i think Owen is better than Heskey. Fowler is returning to his best. But the most under rated player without a doubt is Hyypia. He virtually played every game last year and didnt pick up one card.

In terms of Value for money Liverpools squad would have to be the best in the Premier League..

Good call Dip, Chelsea and Englands Magpies love wasting money, even your pal Wegner seems to be raiding France at the moment and loading the side up with Frogs.

JLC its hard to compare Owen to Heskey because they are such different players. Micky relies on his pace and agility while Bruno is more of a physical force who is more likely to worry Defenders in the air with his natural size.

Both quality players and i'm glad there at Anfield with Fowler and Litmanen who was also impressive until he broke his wrist.

dont get me wrong DJ Heskey is my favourite player but i believe Michael Owen is more of a natural striker and he scores in big games more often. Hopefully this year they will compliment each other.

Jari Litmann will be like a new recruit this year for Liverpool and will be a key playmaker in our team. Redknapp will return from injury.

There's a lot of people in this country that think Heskey is just a big lug with no skill who couldn't trap a bag of cement-now I'm not saying I'm one of them (although I am-hehe) but Owen is a class forward playing on the shoulder of the last defender, Fowler does this as well but has shown lately that he has the awareness & skill to drop deeper & create chances & Litmanen is one of the best deep playing strikers in the world so WHY,WHY,WHY play some one as untalented as 'Bruno'(did any of you ever see the real Bruno getting knocked out?he was great at beating up stiffs [just like Heskey] but put him up against someone with a bit of class & he got shown up [just like Heskey]& he had a glass chin)

I do not & have never loved Liverpool FC

Hahaha Oh Dip, I thougt Frank Bruno was Englands favourite son?

Never mind the fact that my dead grandmother could probably beat him up. Anyway stop bagging Heskey the mans a powerhouse and he knows how to find the back of the net.
