and now the ruler of Dubai is set to buy Liverpool according to The Times.

Not surprising considering the race to become the biggest between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

De la Red has done nothing to suggest he is capable of playing in the premiership, I agree with you there. Senna would have no problem with the physical side of things, but one feels he would struggle to adapt to the speed of the game at his age, plus the fact that he is the wrong side of thirty and the fact that villareal would probably want a large sum of money for him means he would not be a decent long term investment, esspecially with several decent young players already in the team. Toure would be the best option, but as he has been on trial with Arsenal twice already it's likely that if they wanted to sign him then they would have done already, and suggests that Wenger does not really rate him, and from what I've seen of him I wouldn't disagree either.
News to me that he has been on trail at Arsenal when was that?. But no doubt Wenger needs a ball-winner by January, two much skill players on the park aint a good balance.

He went on Trial with Arsenal at the beginning of the 2003-2004 season but wasn't offered a deal, he then went on trial again the season before he joined Barcelona. Tbh I'd suggest it is likely that once Silvestre is fit enough to provide adequete cover, Djourou will be given a run in the first team at centre back and Toure will play as the ball winner in midfield (which imo is his superior position anyway), thus eliminating the need for a new signing.

THis is incredible:

Billionaire businessman Sulaiman Al-Fahim, the front man of Manchester City's new owners Abu Dhabi United Group, says he is willing to spend £135m on Cristiano Ronaldo to bring the Manchester United winger. (The Guardian, 2147 BST)

The estimated wealth of the Al Nahyan family is an almost unimaginable $1 trillion (a thousand billion dollars) or more than £560bn.
:yawn:

BARNES OUT
Would go with this myself:
Hart
Zabaleta-Dunne-Richards(LB!? yeah I know)
Kompany
SWP-Johnson-Petrov
Robinho-Elano
Jo

With Kompany basically playing as an extra defender, but I doubt that will happen so I'm not sure what will happen.
