    Pros
    We need to rejig our defensive options this summer
    He would be a solid addition to the squad
    Is good in the air and can pass the ball to feet

    Cons
    He may well have to settle for being the reliable backup on the bench, which is what Dawson does for us already
    His arrival would limit chances for Caulker to step up
    Wages could be an issue

  3. Agreed.

    However, we don't know how desperate he is to leave the scallies. He might take a pay cut to come a sit on our bench and get the occasional game, rather than plod away mid-table forever.

    It's possible.

    Why would he move to a much smaller club? And if you believe anything you read on goal.com you're more stupid than I thought.

  5. There is no way you will keep him, if he's determined to leave, gaffe.

    If we get CL footy next season, there's no reason why he shouldn't come and play for us.

    You said it yourself, small clubs can't afford his wages.

    Really, gaf? You think a club whose value is increasing year-on-year and have a new stadium on the way is smaller than a club that has seen its value plummet by $250m in the space of two years and have been referred to as "debt-laden" by Forbes?

    Economics isn't your strong-point. Nor is the English language. Or taking responsibility.

    Wait, wait, wait...now you're saying Manchester United and Arsenal are smaller than Liverpool, because neither club wanted to pay £100k per week for Joe Cole's services?

    Gaf, you justify putting chlorine in the genepool.

  12. Gaffe, speaking hypothetically, if Skrtel were to leave you in the Summer, what do you reckon we could get him for?

    £4 million? Perhaps £5 million, tops.

    That would be enough to keep Carroll in wages for another season.

    Your talking through your arse lad,we cleared the debt our previous owners left us with 2 years ago.

    http://www.deloitte.com/assets/Dcom-UnitedKingdom/Local%20Assets/Documents/Industries/Sports%20Business%20Group/uk-sbg-dfml-2012-final.pdf

    And your ground isn't built yet so until it exists why even bring it into the debate,despite our not having CL football revenue our value and earnings have continued to grow even after clearing our debt due to commercial deals and sponsorship.

    Btw fair play and well done Spurs on their success in bringing CL football to the Lane and allthat,but talking ****e about LFC's finances shows you up hbic

    MY club is bigger than yours, how sad is that.

    Is that what you have? I feel sorry for you.

    Getting back to the game (yes that's what it is, 'a game'

    Strikers are perhaps more important to us atm. depending what happens with Adebayor.

    Skirtl is a ****. Sorry but that's how I feel about it. His answer to anybody with a modicum of skill is to boot them into the stand. He needs to move to a club better than Liverpool that suits him, like Stoke.

    I agree. can't stand the bloke. Dirty player, not the sort I'd like to see in a spurs shirt.

  18. I hear what you say, Chirps.

    But I'd happily pay £4 million to have him come and sit on our bench. He'd be useful for when we play dirty teams, like Stoke and 'Pool, to give them back a bit of their own medicine.

    Not for me HIAG; He could bring £4 million with him and I'd still tell him to do one!

  20. Fair enough.

    You've got to admit, though, that he does have some interesting tattoos.
