Week's Round-up

Friendly Wrexham 3 Liverpool 4

Did not manage to catch the game because ESPN/Starsports preferred to show Snooker and Rugby instead. Cant be bothered signing on EST...anyway, heard it was not functioning well today. Managed to read some reports and fan's responses to the game thou. Seems like Zenden is a great buy! Linking well with Mori to score the equaliser for us. Mori looked sharp as he added a 2nd goal before half time.

Rafa field a totally different team in the 2nd half, fielding Josemi and Whitbread as CB. But the combination didn't work out well (i presume) as we leaked in 2 goals in the 2nd half. Good game although not a great result but guys, its just a friendly. The team has just trained for a week and is just starting to glue together. Fret not, this team is strong enough to get pass TNS even without the new signings.

Transfers

According to Sky Sports, we have signed Sissoko from Valencia for £5.5m. Sissoko is a versatile player and used to play under Rafa. He was also bought by Rafa from Auxerre to Valencia. Rafa rates this player highly indeed. And the best thing is we have STOLEN the player from the bluenose!!! Hahaha... I bet they must be fuming mad at this moment because no one wants to sign for them lol What do Parker, Bellamy, Forsell, Emre and Sissoko have in common? They all refuse to play for Bluenose! Hahaha... What a joke!

Rafa also stated in SSN's interview that he will be signing 2 - 3 more players. Great news! I hope we get Figo on a free and also a couple of CB to beef up the defence.

Contract Renewal

Hamann, Traore, Carra and Gerrard had all penned their new contracts respectively. Hamann signed a 1 yr contract while the rest signed a four years extension. So i guess Captain Marvel can concentrate on his game now and lead the team to more trophies this season. And the greatest news of all is WE ARE NOT GETTING PETER CROUCH!!! Yahoo~
