    Typical lazy journalism,
    NUFC have made it clear they will look to sign a striker in the summer
    AC's future is still undecided
    Chances are that AC would like a return to the club
    AC is contracted and owned by LFC
    Who would LFC want to take from NUFC in some hypothetical deal
    Which player would the supporters hate to see linked with LFC the most ?
    What silly rumor would get them going ?
    Answer all the above = HBA = big crock of you know what.

    If Benni goes anywhere it will be PSG surely.

    Could we not just make it clear how much he wants to come home? Pretty sure Liverpool would let him go for nothing and waive their contractual rights to him if they knew he really really wanted to come home.

    Hate to say it but I would not blame him, top player deserves playing at the top
    But if we keep our current crop and get a top forward then I could see him giving it another season

    To be fair I can see HBA leaving us, he is a world class talent. I doubt it would be Liverpool though. He is a cut above their level and would interesting the likes of PSG, Man U, Man C etc, the really big guns.

    What do you reckon his value is?

    He is good but he plays as many games as Harry Kewell!

    Hard to say but with Ashley, 20m plus. He'll probably go to PSG so I'd imagine he'd even try for a bit more.

    Like you say if HBA wanted to see the clubs ambition and the squad improved then he ought to be quite pleased with the introduction of his countrymen.
    He must be simply itching to get back into the team and play alongside Sissoko, Cabaye, Tiote and Gouffran, who l think has been really top notch. If the team starts to perform to it's undoubted ability and Bennie is enjoying being at Newcastle, we may not lose him in the short term. That said if he were to go he would command the kind of fee that ought to facilitate a top notch replacement. If there was a doubt about him, it may be that he would need to prove his ability to stay fit in the longer term, as l would not be surprised if there was some degree of concern that his double leg break injury may have made him vulnerable to other injury problems.

    THIS! Please tell Brendan that Benni is a liability and not worth looking at.

    In fact tell Arry, Sky Sports, the Sun and everyone on Twitter! <ok>

    Hatem Ben Arfa is closing in on a return after recovering from the injury that has kept him out of action since our defeat at Fulham in December. However it remains to be seen whether he makes the squad for White Hart Lane.

    Ah sweet!

    Just seen a LFC poster suggest HBA and Sissoko swap for Mandy on their board, am still laughing now.

    Gerrard has played over 600 games for us, 100 for England and is the only player this season to player every minute of every game.

    See what you're trying to say though...

    Liverpool might be wanting to keep Andy after all...


    Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has raised doubts about his future at Anfield. The Uruguayan, 26, said: "We will see at the end of the season what Liverpool's position is - we're not the Liverpool of old."
