we (pool) need another striker in my opinion, as good as Tor'. We have nowt if he gets injured, and im sick to death of playing Kuyt on the wing, (although its been his best form since joining us). He cant cross for shlt.

Liverpool are reportedly preparing to make a big-money bid for Bayern Munich’s Franck Ribery, who had a stellar first season in Germany after his big move from Marseille last summer. The report says that Liverpool could offer 20 million pounds for him, but given his importance to Bayern and what they paid for him (almost 17 million pounds) last summer, that likely wouldn’t be nearly enough to get him.

i really want this to happen
WOAH! Ribery is a gun, I love him. I wish he could come to Juve, but never gunna happen
