same here... I was thinking about getting a home kit this season, though maybe I'll get last season's for a cut price...

 

[gabs485]

I would love to see Gerrad play with the collar up, thats freaking cool

....collar up....

coughs*****Cantona*****coughs

Stevie actually looks a bit like Cantona. Honestly i love collars on shirts but with the designs these days a collar on the shirt just looks hideous.
Nike did a pretty good job on Hollands old school NT jersey and the collar there looked pretty cool.

.......Hollands old school NT jersey and the collar there looked pretty cool.

Yup, that is a brilliant collar...see I would've wanted that kinda jersey...or maybe something similar to the Arsenal dark red jersey from last year with the collar...this year's LFC jerseys are awful! Last year's ones just need a tweak, at the most, but instead they went overboard.............

 

[Best's_cadaver]

From the 3 kits i honestly prefer the yellow one mate. looks ok too me and the color is not that Brazilish yellow but a nice yellow. The Carlsberg made in green though sucks. It should have been red like the stripes and logo.

Our third jersey though is plain disgusting. Green and white with red numbers, you figure it out.

Could have gone worse though : Read Real Madrid Jersey.

Could have gone better: Read Bayern Munich last year home team jersey.

BENITEZ LANDS £6MPENNANT
EXCLUSIVE STEVEN GERRARD ON HIS ULTIMATE DREAM OF BEING ENGLAND'S SKIPPER
By David Maddock

JERMAINE PENNANT will join Liver pool after Birmingham last night accepted a £6million bid for the England Under-21 winger.

Anfield boss Rafael Benitez conceded he had been priced out of the race to sign Daniel Alves, his No.1 target to play wide on the right, after Sevilla refused to budge on their inflated £12m asking price for the Brazilian.

Benitez admitted Liverpool simply could not afford to buy Alves and instead switched his sights to 23-year-old former Arsenal midfielder Pennant.

Liverpool had an initial bid of £3m turned down by City manager Steve Bruce, but last night Benitez went back with double that amount and Birmingham - relegated from the Premiership last season - had little option but to reluctantly accept.

Pennant is expected to complete contract talks with Liverpool today and, if he passes a medical, the deal should go through in time for him to join his new team-mates when they fly out this week for a pre-season training camp in Austria.

It is a dramatic about-turn for Benitez, who felt certain of landing Alves, and even travelled to Spain last week in an attempt to hurry through a deal.

"You can say the price is the price, but you also have to consider the market, and we cannot pay a fee over the market price," said Benitez.

"Some clubs may pay more than the player is worth, but we can't do that at Liverpool. We can't pay over the market price.

"I am not the kind of manager who will pay £20m if the value is only £10million." Benitez eventually lost patience with Sevilla, who refused to budge on the £12m they wanted for Alves.

But Benitez had little room for manoeuvre as Alves would use up all his transfer kitty, leaving him nothing to bring in the forward he also wants.

He has been chasing Holland striker Dirk Kuyt all summer, but with a price tag close to a prohibitive £12m the switch to Pennant instead of Alves still leaves him with a chance of landing the Feyenoord player.

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has dismissed suggestions he is a £20m target for Real Madrid.

Benitez was adamant the Spain midfielder would not be leaving Anfield and Alonso said: "I've heard the rumours but that's all they are.

"I'm focused on my job here at Liverpool and as far as I am concerned there is no truth in the story at all."


-------------------

Off the Mirror though, so add seasoning as desired.

 

[champdave]

I'll take a pinch of salt, but £6m is quite a high price for Pennant. Why not go to £4.5m if £3m is rejected? Rafa has obviously not played FM too much

 

[TOON ARMY]

Why Pennant?

He's trouble off the pitch and hampered by inconsistency on the pitch

 

[AberdeenFC]

SIX MILLION???

can we not just NAE sign that waster and put money towards a kuyt?

 

[Haukur Gudnason]

Brum wants Cinema Popcorn as part of the deal though the lad would prefer to stay put.

 

[newbie original]

We've got him...for £6.2m.

Now, it's to be seen whether Kuyt will the bo other signing that Rafa was talking about...£12m is his asking price.

 

[Ebonix]

£6m for Pennant

The guy is a liability. I'm beginning to lose confidence about the coming season.

 

[Tom]

Bellamy was a good signing of a player who is slightly troubled.

Pennant isnt the former, and he's most certainly the latter.

What the **** are you doing Rafa.

 

[Kibe Kru]

6M? oh boy, let's hope for a miracle...

 

[Lean]

That's an absurd amount of money for someone like Pennant. He's way too inconsistent, looks good when on form and happy tho. Something he never seems to be.

 

[Best's_cadaver]

I actually like Pennant. he is young and im sure that Rafa will figure him out.

 

[Haukur Gudnason]

I concur. I've always been a fan of Pennant despite his tendency for being a shitehead off the pitch. As a player, he's exactly the type of winger we need; young, with pace and the ability to beat his man and swing a marvellous cross in. His percentage and total amount of successful crosses in last season was by far the best in the league and everytime I've seen him play, the lad's been conscientious in tracking back and never lets his head drop even when others around him have laid down arms long before.

I'll leave the gaffer and the senior figures like Stevie G and Carra to sort him out off the pitch.
