look, darren bent is hardly an improvement on bellamy, let alone the kind of signing we need.

I'm not going to judge Bent, seeing as I did with Crouch when we first signed him. He's now, in my eyes, a very good striker.

But I do agree that the £17m price tag is tremendously ridiculous. Like you said befoe JK, we might as well pick up Little MO for a fraction of the price. </BLOCKQUOTE>

4 million for Owen? Christ. </BLOCKQUOTE>

You know what I meant.

Jesus Christ!

They're all ****ing ugly apart from the first picture (New Anfield Stadium Design 3).

First one looks a bit like old trafford :/

I like the 3rd one, although I think the new design will look a lot different compared to these ones.

You're not wrong there.

Our Emma thinks the last design looks the best.
Don't worry, I'm getting her help.

Liverpool back Blades at hearing

iverpool have been revealed as the mystery club backing Sheffield United's fight against the Premier League, reports BBC Radio Sheffield.

A two-day hearing has started to decide if the Blades should be reinstated to the top flight after West Ham breached player ownership rules.

They were fined £5.5m but avoided a points penalty over the signing of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry was called as a witness on Monday.

An independent arbitration panel has been set up and is expected to deliver its verdict on Tuesday.

If the panel decides to overturn the original decision, Sheffield United will ask the Premier League to reinstate them for next season.

If the panel finds in favour of the Blades, the Premier League could relegate West Ham, keep both clubs in the top flight, offer a compensation package or refuse to overturn the decision.

Blades plc chairman Kevin McCabe is adamant the panel will rule in favour of his club over a saga that started back in March.

In that month, West Ham were found guilty of acting improperly and withholding vital documentation over the Argentine pair's ownership but they escaped a points deduction and Tevez was allowed to continue playing.

He and Mascherano, who is now at Liverpool, were part-owned by a third party but the Hammers then ended that agreement, which satisfied the Premier League.

Tevez was one of the major factors in the club's late escape - scoring a goal on the final day of the season at Manchester United to help the Hammers stay up.

The Blades finished on the same number of points as fourth-from-bottom Wigan but were relegated on goal difference.

"I think the Premier League accept they wish the arbitration was not happening," McCabe said last week.

"But in the knowledge it is happening and it cannot be prevented, then if the decision is overturned we should be reselected to the Premier League.

"Since we really looked into the whys and the wherefores of the Tevez affair it became apparent that a wrong decision was made."

Presentations by the Blades have also been made to the European Commission.

"We expressed our concerns of the whole affair," said club spokesman Andy Pack.

"It wasn't a question of trying to enlist support or lobby, rather a chance to inform them of where we are."

After our direct involvement with West Ham, Mascherano and his owners it's no real surprise Parry's been asked to give evidence.

Be interesting to know what he had to say.

clearly trying to relegate west ham to pick up tevez from msi and benayoun for £3m tops. nice work doctor who.

of course, it would be even nicer work if he actually did his job and signed us some players.

Didn't a lot of people here say why are we signing Crouch he cant score etc and now he is proberbly our best striker.
I think Bent is a good player, I dont think he is worth £17 million but he is better than Bellemy and to score so many goals at Charlton is good because they wont create as many chances as the likes of Spurs, Arsenal, man Utd etc will.

Bent has scored just over 40 goals in just over 80 games and he has done it in the premiership where as we can sign a big name abroad but he might struggle to scor in England just like Kuyt, Cisse and Nando for example.

Etto, Henry, Villa they are not coming to Liverpoolso lets be realisitic.
