We're selling Kirkland (or maybe loaning him to prove his fitness) to another club, somewhere, probably in England (General Concencus).
Dudek is on his way out to fund a new keeper, though he's going to also stay to fight for his place.
Reina has agreed to join us to replace the departing Kirkland (who may only leave on loan) and the departing Dudek (who is staying to fight for his place).
Pellegrino is s****, and won't have his contract extended (
www.wishfulthinking.com), and Hyypia is out of favour because of comments he made about Benitiez in Finland, the fact that he's too slow, and getting old, though recent performances have earnt him discussions about a new contract.
Unfortunately we've not been linked with any other centre halves, so we are going to abandon that idea to accomodate a right-winger (see below).
Josemi is going back to Spain, unless he stays in England, meaning that he may or may not be at Liverpool next season.
Benitez wanted a top-class left back, but so do Chelsea, so it means that there is no-one left as they are going to buy them all, so he is going to stick with what he's got, unless he buys a new one.
Kewell is going, as Benitez is not impressed with his attitude and fitness record. He will be replaced by Vicente (which is a done deal according to some fella in the Oakie yesterday).
Figo is coming (
www.ynwa.tv), and Sean Wright-Phillips remains Rafa's top target (that Oakie fella again). It is rumoured that Rafa is going to scrap the 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 in favour of a formation that has 2 right wingers to accomodate both these signings..... in the words of Finney "That'll confuse the b******s". An insider (in other words me completely making it up) says that Nunez commented "That b*****d Figo is folloing me again... I'll get my revenge by joining Trannie.... see how the Portugese c*** likes following me there"
The Steven Gerrard transfer saga took a new twist, involving a high court legal battle over royalties, after the Midfield Dynamo put in a claim against Craig David, who had a recent #1 based on the ongoing, on/off, will he/won't he, treacherous b*****d/loyal scouser, captain fantastic/money grabbing c***, transfer between Liverpool and Chelsea and back again.
"I met Kenyon on Monday, Parry took me for a drink on Tuesday, I talked to Chelsea on Wednesday, and on the Thursday, and Friday, and Saturday, changed my mind on Sunday"
Up front there are big changes with Morientes a shock departure (
www.ynwa.tv/forums - I've got a feeling he'll leave"), and Baros also likely to move on (probably to Real Madrid as he was confirmed as a die-hard Barca fan after Euro 2004).
As well as Madrid, Baros is also joining Valencia, in a straight swap with someone, plus money. Someone has beenout of favour at Valencia, and is desperate to join his old boss, who also fell out with him last year. As a result of joining 2 teams, Baros has the transfers annulled whilst FIFA sort the mess out, meaning he gets to sit in the Main Stand during matches with his head down looking at the floor, in a determined effort to not see any other player in a red shirt.
Coming in on the striker front is Andy Johnson (
www.ynwa.tv), who was at Melwood in January, so it's a done deal, but not Raul, who was at Melwood in April, so it's not a done deal (some forum).
However, (another forum) says Benitez is determined to re-unite the Raul and Morientes patnership, and will do so at all costs.
Unfortunately for Liverpool, "all-costs" means Rafa going to Madrid as he canot persuade them to sell Raul, so he becomes a Madrista, taking Morientes with him (yet another forum).
Rick Parry was overheard in a bar talking about this b*****d Madrista. Valencia striker Mista doesn't have a dad, so it seems Mista is Parry's number one target (to replace Baros, Morientes according to one paper)..... (and Benitez as manager according to annother).
So here, exclusive for ynwa.tv readers is the line up for next season:
