I see Maik Taylor was offered a 1 year contract as No. 2 at Liverpool but turned it down for a 2 year stay at Birmingham. Would have been an improvement on Charles Intandje, good experience and secure No.2. Has his wobbles but can see why Rafa went for him as a back-up tp Reina.

Also appears JAR is heading closing to the door. Sooner rid the better. Became stale and rather crap this last 3 years.

Villa has came out and said there has been no contact with any club and that he is not thinking about his future atm. Tbh I really cant see Rafa splashing out on him anyway.

Well by all accounts he wants to stay in Spain although I do believe Liverpool are interested in him. I certainly think we would be in a good position to sign him if he did leave Spain due to the Benitez and Torres factor. The fact that he's probably put another 10 million on top of his transfer fee at the Euros doesn't help either. We'd probably have to sell Alonso, Crouch and Carson to be able to afford just him.

I agree that he would have been good cover for Pepe.

From a Norn Iron point of view I'm glad he is staying with Birmingham because he will still get regular games.  I wonder if Liverpool had offered him 2 years would he have taken the move?

So long JAR

We'll always have this

[full back]

Great memories Gab
Not many others in the PL I suppose

[brokencrossbar1]

Unreal man for shooting.  Whole-hearted and a real team player.  May have gone off the boil in the last 18 months but he will always be fondly remembered..."John Arne Riise, oh ah, I wanna knooooow how you scored that goal"

PS Gab nice photo

[Yes I Would]

Great left peg, shame he couldnt leave it behind him.  His defencive liabilities eventually caught up with him!!

New away kit. Tribute to the old grey Candy one by the looks of it.

[girt_giggler]

Not sure what to think of it, but why haven't they the 'carlsberg' logo in red also??

Anyone see Alonso's performance for Spain last night? Was top drawer, unlucky not to score 2 / 3 goals, some superb long range shooting.

Defiantly a throwback to the old Candy jersey made famous by the likes of John Barnes,Glenn Hysen and John Aldridge!
