  1. So I thought I'd ask for help here.

     

    I'm moving to Liverpool on 27 October and we're trying to find a place to live. We already know which areas we would like to live in - Mossley Hill, Allerton, Aigburth (although if a good deal comes along somewhere else we will consider it).

     

    Anyway my question is... Other than Gumtree does anyone know where to find private properties for rent? I would prefer dealing directly with the owners than going through an agency. And of course if any of you personally know about an available place somewhere please let me know.

     

    My wife is in Liverpool at the moment but she's only staying for a couple of days and we only managed to get one viewing arranged, today (a house in Wavertree). Doesn't look very promising but better than nothing...

  2. Guidetti is already better than Vellios, Anichebe and McAleny so it would deffo add some strength. Bit concerned about his status tho. Has not played since may because of a badly cooked piece of chicken.

     

    before his injury he was awesome. Cant see any of the three above banging in that many goals in Holland. Was on the verge of edging out Elmander from the swedish national team.

     

    I went to google it after I read your post. Very weird problem he had!

  3. There was a Portuguese player playing in the Switzerland who lost his finger while celebrating a goal. His wedding ring got caught in the fence he had climbed to celebrate with the fans, and he didn't notice it when jumping back down... You can imagine the rest. Ouch.

     

    He was booked as well for taking too long with his "celebration". True story!

  4. Im fairly sure it was a bottle of perfume? Cant remember who it was tho.

     

    There was a swedish player called Corneliusson who cut himself while slicing cucumber and apparently was so badly injured that he was out for a while.

     

    Edit* yep, out for 6 weeks

     

    Edit 2* we were both right, Santiago Carizares, spanish goalie, injured himself when he dropped a bottle of perfume. Beasant broke his toe on a sallad bowl

     

    Yeah it was Canizares, it was a couple of weeks before a WC as well if I recall correctly. He was set to be Spain's number one for the tournament...

  5. Jack Butland always impresses me whenever I watch Birmingham, however he'll probably be overpriced as he's young and English.

     

    My Portuguese bias says Rui Patricio. He's one of the first names in Portugal's teamsheet these days and it looks like the GK position will be his for a few years. He's already brought us a stability in goal we hadn't seen since Vitor Baia. Sporting's number 1 for a few seasons already as well... and only 24.

     

    Sporting are in financial turmoil at the moment, so although he's one of their most important players I could see a good deal being struck there for both clubs...

  6. You should have grown up in Portugal. 90% (not exaggerating) of the people in my school were Benfica fans. We're 350 km away from Lisbon... I support my local team Beira-Mar, and in a school 30 minutes away from their stadium I was their only fan as far as I know. Sure, some kids "support" them, as a 2nd team.

     

    A home match with 26 or 27k away fans in a 30k stadium is quite the frustrating experience, especially when most of them are from your own city and even go as far as making fun of their own city's club.

     

    Nothing better than when we beat one of those big clubs though, even if it only happens once every couple of years.

  7. I seriously hope we don't go in for Cardozo.

     

    He needs 10 chances to score a goal, is slightly faster than a snail and is extremely overpriced. He is also Benfica's penalty taker usually which boosts his goal tally (they get a lot of penalties rolleyes.gif). As for the positives, well he has a sweet left foot yeah, decent free kick and penalty taker (he just hammers them in...) and is good in the air.

     

    Nothing there we really miss at the moment, especially not for a ridiculous amount.

     

    Benfica have been trying to offload him for a couple of years for 15 million Euros +, but no team has been stupid enough yet. He's 29 already as well.
