[Guest sniffer]

Any of Liverpool's Bosman signings been rated a great success by anyone?

[psl]

?

 

Babbel and Gary Mac did ok.

[Rich Gobey]

Zenden did ok

[Rimbeux]

aside from Sol Campbell, can you make a case for many of anyones?

 

Isn't it the nature of the game that you usually get a player later on in their career who may or may not adapt and is unlikely to improve.

mcmanaman did alright.

[Rimbeux]

mcmanaman did alright.

 

 

True, he did tail off though after two years and never came back. I just dont think we've seen a climate that allowed many top players to take up the option. I think you'll save a few mil on a squad player here or there, or pick up a promising young player for compensation, but a huge player for you? Unlikely.

[richwilks]

I think a lot depends on the attitude of the player you sign.

 

Gary Mac and Babbel did well for us.

[honourablegeorge]

Babbel, Gary Mac.

 

Personally think Voronin's been excellent, considering he was free. Makes Kuyt's fee look somewhat mental.

[RafaShanks]

Babbel was a monster during his first season when we won the treble. He could have been one of our greatest right backs ever if it wasn't for his disabilating illness.

 

Gary Mac played his part in also landing us the treble and finishing fourth that season.

 

Apart from those two I'm struggling.

 

Zenden was pants. Voronin started ok, but he's lost his way big time.

[Spiblish]

Babbel, Gary Mac, McManaman, Sol Campbell, Beckham !!!

[Guz]

Has anyone seen Fairclough's Dream Team XI on LFC TV? He said he was tempted to stick Babbel in there ahead of Phil Neal at RB and probably would've done had Babbel been around for longer.

 

Jari came on a free too.

[IgPig]

. Voronin started ok, but he's lost his way big time.

 

He's been here 4 months.

disabilating

 

Ouch.

[Guest PaulMcC]

Babel and Gary Mac were brilliant.

 

Voronin has done well.

[millsee]

Ballack went to Chelse on a Bosman.

 

Oh. A success.

 

Sorry.

 

As you were.

[matty]

Zenden did ok

did Meijer arrive on a free?

[Guest Anders Honoré]

I will never understand that one. He got rid of Riedle who could play a bit to replace him with eriK?

Won a free kick against Man Utd - Result 1-0. Paid for the transfer fee there and then.

Riedle was a crap cook though

he wouldn't know a Sami Hyypia Fish Dish if it slapped him in the face

[Gilps]

Riedle was a top player and remains the best partner Owen has ever had in his career.

I didn't even know they'd split up

[Earl Hafler]

I think Babbel was one of our best ever signings . Gary Mac on a free was inspired.
