Does anyone know why they want to sign Maschareno on loan?

 

Because he's an excellent player, an experienced international and probably a bargain considering his current position. Oh, and Rafa loves the Argies.

 

I think the theory is that if he isnt good enough to play for West Ham, then he must be good enough to play for Liverpool

 

cover for Zenden, Kewell, Sissoko perhaps?

 

Cover for Alonso rather than Kewell etc.

 

Probably to cover Momo whilst he's injured because we're missing him

 

I see Liverpool are trying to get FIFA to bend the rules for them again over their proposed transfer of Mascherano, I thought they'd had their favours over their entry into the Champions league after finish 5th the year the won it.

Don't push your luck

 

If they did bend the rules it would be for the benefit of the Argentinian FA rather than us.

We need left wingers more at the moment, anyone know if he play on the wing ? Mind you, looks like the 3 up front could be here to stay until the others are fit again.

 

Why the Argentinian FA ?? The rule is no player can play for more than two clubs in one year, to be honest I wasn't even aware of the rule, surely it's a free market and you should be able to buy and sell as you wish, within the windows.

 

They argue that if he is forced to stay at West Ham, it will harm their national side as well as his career. Convenient that the Vice President of FIFA is Argentinian Julio Grondona

 

They better beat Chelsea at the weekend.

 

There a saying put a gifted player in a sh1te side he will become a donkee

 

[Pedant mode on]

Actually it was UEFA not FIFA who swung the Champions League thing for us

[Pedant mode off]

 

personally, i dont see what the problem is, if everyone is happy with the situation then there's no problem right?

 

Just look at Rooney playing for Engerland

 

I'd be more than happy to see United take him if the Hargreaves deal doesn't come off. Sadly, it appears that he's heading to Anfield.

If you saw the World Cup, you'd understand that he oozes class. He just needs the right nurturing to adapt his game to the Premiership.

I can see him settling in well with Liverpool, if the loan deal goes ahead.

 

It's a fair cop or should that be kop....

 

Thanks FIFA

 

Yet another bending of the rules for the Scousers.

How very predictable.

 

but the rule is against the law.

How many times were the rules bent when Man Unitied scored in the 93+ minute?

 

93rd minute is normal at Old Trafford. Its when the scored in the 97th minute that I find annoying

 

FPMSL

What a load of crap, is that the best you can do

apparently it was sanctioned by both FIFA and UEFA ( so thats two squeezes from UEFA now DJ Dunk )

It will be nice to see what he can actually do now rather than sulking at West Ham.

 

no that was 2nd best, the best was the 97th minute however I was keeping that in reserve however davegtt used it instead

 

Steve Bruce get in 2-1 Sheff W if I remember rightly, I'd just had my wisdom teeth out and couldn't open my mouth properly, when that 2nd goal went in I went mental and popped a few stitches, blood everywhere !!

It was worth it
