According to reports,there's talk of a loan deal already being negotiated.

I thought Liverpool would try and bring in Huntalear in January, as I think he's better than Bent.

If Liverpool do bring in another top quality striker, does that mean that Suarez will pushed out on to the wing?

Suarez will be part of a front three...Maybe

Bent story

If he(Suarez) doesn't get sold,Then Bent could be a good move.
I know they said that they wouldn't be selling anybody but we all know what happens when silly amounts of money get thrown about.

Heres a great article about the best tv pundits.

I agree with the article that Gary Neville is the best in the business. There were fears he would be biased considering his past as a former Man United player, but he has been brilliant and has offered fair and balanced points that most of the time I agree with.

Although this article should of included Eamon Dunphy and John Giles, as they are fantastic for the RTE's football coverage.

gotta agree with u dan he does know his stuff but alot of fans cant see past his man utd links!

and is it me or have most channels and even radio got ex liverpool players on! is it cos they won alot in their day so they make better pundits! i can understand people like lawro and phil thompson if its based on being a pundit by maybe playing in great teams and winning things but redknapp and collymore ! i do like jim beglin though commentating on itv! i left hansen out, i think hes one of the best, i dont think he shows any bias and to me he always seems honest although mite cum out with the odd remark at the beginning of the season which mite cum back to haunt him!

What a Plonker,Changing his accent so the Frogs will understand him.
It seems to happen alot now,When British players go abroad,About as bad as Steve McLarens Dutch.

Heres a football idea that Platini is thinking of putting forward.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/...ons-league

He is thinking of scraping the Europa League and expanding the Champions League to 64 teams.

I'm not sure how I should feel about this idea. I think its the Europa League that needs to be revamped and not the Champions League. I think they should reduce the amount of teams in the Europa League and make it into a knockout style competition and leave the Champions League the way it is.

With this expansion of the Champions League, 7 teams from the Premier League would be allowed to enter the competition and 5 from Scotland.

If they do go through with this idea then I hope there aren't two group stages and leave it at one, as I think that would be boring. But perhaps a knockout style competition would work for this too.

Although many will say it will devalue the Champions League, but it would be a huge financial boost to teams that don't make the Champions League and plus we won't see teams putting out 2nd and 3rd string teams out. Also with this financial boost, it may allow more teams to attract better players and also to challenge for the title in their domestic leagues.

Although if they do go through with this change, they definitely need to change the Champions League name and just call it the European Cup.

He says he's too intelligent for football.

But I think he's as about as intelligent as an actual football
