Summer Transfers and Signings

[willis316]

Now with the Gerrard story settled. I understand the Reds are looking at Figo to add to thier line up. Also a rumor that Viera might be set to leave the Arse.

What the hell? Willis 316? What gives?


Yes, congrats on Gerrard but Figo would not be a help at this stage of his career. They're European Champions after all........


When are hooking up for round two of the summer drinking spree? Tomorrow at Honda Park around 1, if the weather is good. We are playing at 11:00......

 

[willis316]

yes, it is me. I had thought I no longer could post on this so I have been spending my time on a This is Anfield site. Kind of sick of everone agreeing with me. Agrred on Figo but if he is for free that is a good deal.

PS- Have a BBQ tommorrow with some relatives from Engalnd. All is okay with the people they know over there.

Last time I looked at Honda Park (yesterday morning), it was covered with little "keep off the grass signs..."

I see (now former) Ajax Captain Rafael van der Vaart has moved from Amsterdam to...not London, not Manchester, Barcelona, Milan or Turin but HAMBURG!

WTF? This 22 year old not very long ago was being touted (ahead of the likes of Robben, Van Persie etc) as the next great youngster out of the Netherlands. I know he has had a few injuries, but there has got to be something more to this: Dutch superstars do not normally go to the (not very well liked) Bundesliga.

I bet its got something to do with that supermodel bird he just married.

 

[Jinky]

I must admit I was shocked by that one as well, especially after all the interest Inter Milan had shown in him. Roy Maakay is the only other big name Dutch player playing in the Bundesliga that I can think of but Hamburg aren't exactly the glamour side that signed Kevin Keegan anymore.

Perhaps you could post a pic of VDV's supermodel missus for clarification.

 

[Sir M]

But Makaay came via La Liga. Will get that bird's photo to you tomorrow...


Cheers.

 

[Sir M]

Here you go, the reason behind the move to Germany:




I like Cruyff's typical Dutch blunt quote: "What is Rafael van der Vaart doing in Hamburg?"'

Wasn't she in the Scorpion's Rock you like a hurricane video?
