Aug 2010 - Predictions

[dalennie]

The next three months are the most important for the future developments of the club. It would be interesting to know what fans thought now, what they believe the state of the club will be before season 2010/11 kicks off. For instance, will Stevie G be our captain? Who will be our number 9? Who will be the owners of LFC be? Will Rafa be the Gaffer? Will we have a new chairman?..

[CarraLegend]

Same owners, same manager, one of Mascherano or Torres gone (maybe both), no sign of the owners going, under £10m spent in the transfer market despite one of Masch/Torres going, Jovanovic deal fell through and we got leathered by a part time Irish team in pre season 8-1. Though rumours surface we fixed the match to make some cash.

This. Spot on. x2

 

Also you're forgetting Purslow coming out and telling us how much agents/new contracts cost and the media saying we've spent loads because we signed a few duds for a combined £20m despite selling £100m worth of players

[john_lfc]

Nothing will change

 

Jovanovic and Shelvey both come in, and they will be s****

 

Fighting for 6th again

[Flight]

First sign of Broughton being unhappy about Hicks demands for sale of the club, eventually leading to him resigning.

 

And, yes, we will sell our player of the year (Mascha) for the second summer in a row with the money going to help fund debt.

[JonShar]

Rich new owner, Rafa happy, 3 new star players.

[Red Kent]

Same owners, same manager, no new players apart from that Jackovic fella thingy.

 

New owners by Christmas.

[Red Kent]

I think we'll kick-off with:

 

Reina

 

Johnson - Carra - Agger - Insua

Kuyt - Lucas - Mascherano - New Player

 

Gerrard

Torres

 

Subs:

New Keeper, Kyrgiakos, Benayoun, Pacheco, Skrtel, Ngog, Jankovic

 

Players who will have left in the summer:

Cavalieri, Babel, Spearing, Darby, El Zhar, Degen, Aquilani, Aurelio, Eccleston.

 

Players getting their full debut will be:

Amoo, Dalla Vale, Ince (long shot).

 

And yeh, I changed my mind from the above post. San Miguel has made me a bit more optimistic

Reckon Aquilani,will be kept but Benayoun sold on, similar enough playing style.

[Red Kent]

Reckon Aquilani,will be kept but Benayoun sold on, similar enough playing style.

 

We owe to much money on Aquilani, victim of circumstance.

[Couldbe]

We owe to much money on Aquilani, victim of circumstance.

 

We owe money yes but we have paid I think most of fee during year, refer to Rafa comment about balancing books,(transfers) plus we could get £10M for Benny and he is older.

No, think Benny will be sold and Aqua kept for one more year.

 

BTW check Broughton thread about him having legal authority on sale of club without resource to H&G, article from FT. V.Good news.

[Florist Cinema Pond Goal]

The owners stay, Rafa decides he has had enough and goes to Juve taking Lucas and Kuyt with him, much to the dismay of all the fans. Torres goes to Man City for only £40m but finds it a hollow experience and cries every night. Gerrard goes to Real Madrid to team up with Xabi but can't break into the first XI. On leaving Melwood Stevie breaks wind, killing Alberto Aquilani in the process. Disenchanted by this our entire squad put in transfer requests leaving Pepe Reina as our sole player, captain and manager. Amazingly this is the best thing to ever happen to us as he scores a hat trick at Old Trafford to win us the league on the last day of the season before changing into a suit and having a heated debate with Ferguson on the touchline. Alex Ferguson then dies.

If we're selling Aquilani we'll replace him. Even if it's a turd replacement. We're not gonna go into the season with just Lucas and Masch. If anything Masch will be the one to go

 

I hope

 

Reina

Johnson - New player - Agger - New player

New player - New player/Aquilani - Mascherano -Jovanovic/Kuyt

Gerrard

Torres

 

Subs:

New Keeper, Benayoun, Lucas, Carra, New striker, Kuyt/Jovanovic, Insua

 

and when i say new player i mean Kjaer/Martinez/Turan quality

 

 

I expect very different

 

Reina

Johnson - Carra - Agger - Insua

Kuyt - Crap new player/Aquilani - Lucas - Crap new player

Gerrard/Crap new player

Torres/Crap new player

Similar hair style, but although both attacking, they're very different players.

 

I'd rather we lose Riera, Babel, and Kuyt (in that order) before Benayoun, as he's one of only a few players who can dribble past defenders with the ball, and only Gerrard set up more goals than him this season.

[New York Red]

New owners.

 

Positive news on a new stadium.

 

Cavalieri, Auerilio, Degen, Skrtel, Lucas, Maxi, Babel, Riera, Ngog and Kuyt all get shifted.

 

David James, Taye Taiwo, Simon Kjaer, Mark van Bommell, James Milner, Milan Jovanovic, Eljiro Elia, Rafael van der Vaart, Franck Ribery and David Villa all come in.

 

We have a great pre-season.

 

We win the league.

[carrafan]

Pigs will fly.

[San Diego Red]

[GWistooshort]

Ince (long shot)

 

Excellent - I've missed Xabi's goals from the half-way line

 

San Miguel has made me a bit more optimistic

 

Has he had a good season at Bilbao then?
