News that excited me, albeit for a short while, over the weekend... Franck Ribery is coming to Liverpool! Hmm... I actually doubted it after the momentary excitement. Well basically it was just the odds that bookmakers in England had on Ribery's move to England were slashed by quite a bit, similar to the slash of odds for Michael Owen's move to Manchester United. So yeah, Rafa Benitez immediately ruled that move for Ribery out the next day, so I'm pretty sad now. Liverpool really do need a new creative player, whether a winger or a forward, to relieve the burden somewhat on Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard. We've already sold Jermaine Pennant (free to Real Zaragoza), Sebastian Leto (£3 million to Panathanaikos), Jack Hobbs (undiscl. to Leicester City), Paul Anderson (£250,000 to Nottm Forest) and Sami Hyypia (free to Bayer Leverkusen).. so there's more money available to Rafa. Go buy David Silva! That's the last missing piece in our jigsaw I feel. The title will be ours then! Haha...
One thing that's making me nervous though, this is what Rafa had to say, concerning him not wanting to sign Michael Owen, "We are confident in (Dirk) Kuyt, (Ryan) Babel, (David) Ngog and (Andriy) Voronin for next season. We have players with quality." Erm... Dirk Kuyt? Yah maybe, he's hardworking and can get a few goals in Torres' absence. David Ngog? He's young, tall, a little quick, sure he'll get at least a dozen goals in all-competitions at least. Ryan Babel? Ok he did not do well, but he's more of an impact player, and surely goals will come somewhere. But Andriy Voronin? The guy that can only score in the German Bundesliga? I have some hope for him, but with this statement implying he's almost going to stay as back-up to Torres', I'm worried. Voronin should only be a bench-warmer at most.
Anyway congrats to the likes of Fernando Torres, Albert Riera, Lucas Leiva and most recently Xabi Alonso, whom all got married this summer. Torres' especially, who just became a father! Yeah...
I don't know why. I haven't found an EoM article, let alone done the first draft yet. I haven't really finish history tutorial, or contemplating doing the Math Holiday Assignment I did with pencil and like rough working during June... But yet, I'm still looking forward to school tomorrow! Haha I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe.. just maybe... I'm feeling better already. I'm just gonna dread tomorrow's training, there's 2.4km run to be timed, and pure fitness training too. Argh, I'm so
no-stamina and
weak. Die.
Bye~!
