I would have kept ballack for another season at least

my apologies, I didnt actually read the article, I just read the title and saw Cole and Ballack. I just assumed it was ashley Cole. Thank god for that anyway.

Well I wasn't aware of Beletti wanting to go back to Brazil so I can understand that now. As for Carragher its only an opinion of mine, which I guess a forum is for - expressing opinions. I would like to hear from other fans what they think we could do with. So are we not getting rid of Cole then ?

Coal - is the intials of each of my names. I've just realised what it seems like

well to be honest I think Carragher could do well with our squad. If you look at his stats that were in the paper the other day he was well ahead of Dawson and King in terms of tackling, passing rate etc therefore I believe he could come in for a year or two and mentor our younger kids.

First off I'm just joined this forum to vent my frustration and dismay at the decision of our board to release certain players over the last few weeks. First off it leaves me with a feeling of resentment towards those who own the club as these players have given everything for this great and successful club. First off th decisions to get rid of Belletti is astounding. The guy played for Barcelona and is a Brazillian international and whilst 33, I still believe can offer a lot to this club. After all who else can play right back as well as he can at the moment. The guy can score goals too, and plenty of them in unison with his assists I feel the team will certainly lack something going forward next season if we do not properly replace him. Therefore I suggest that we should look at signing Maicon from Inter for European games and then get someone for the premiership who is tough tackling and British. Therefore I suggest we sign someone Jamie Carragher. I know he is getting on a bit but for a small fee I think could do the job for another two years and Liverpool will probably be looking to sell due to their current crisis. The other problem now relates to the other side of our defence. How on earth could they let cole go, he is without doubt one of the best left backs in the world and without him we really are letting ourselves down. I know he has recently just gotten over his injury but he still manage to make the England squad and will no doubt play a major role in England world cup aspirations. What's ever worse is we let him go for free, didn;t even try having him sign a contract and then make him available for sale. Just goes to show that there is too much money in this club, we need to get back to our roots and let it be known we are simply not happy with such a decision. Finally, Ballack - well the less said the better. I think y'all get where I stand with this from my discussion at length with regards to the other two players. Anyway heres to a good pre season and a exciting world cup. Hopefully our players can perform well. COYB
