Tonight's win in Norway was notable (well probably not a lot of people noticed) for the absence of Steve Finnan, Jermaine Pennant and Andriy Voronin who were all apparently left behind in Liverpool as all three are rumored to be on their way out.
Finnan has featured very little this pre season and there was talk of a move to Aston Villa as part of the ongoing Gareth Barry transfer but nothing has yet materialised on that front as we all know.
Pennant is a target for new Blackburn boss Paul Ince who has money to spend and is in need of a winger following the sale of David Bentley to Spurs.
Pennant is keen to stay as far as I know but Rafa is keen to offload after two disappointing seasons in which good performances from the former Birmingham man were all too sporadic.
Whilst Voronin, well he featured early on in pre season and scored a couple of goals but it's unlikely he'll feature much this coming season (we hope!) with the likes of Keane, Ngog and Kuyt as well as Nemeth and Pacheco coming through.
Add to that the fact that he just looks plain rubbish whenever he plays and never looks entirely arsed unlike a certain other mediocre striker who came from Germany and at least gave a shit when he was on the field. Yep, I'm talking about Erik Meijer.
We'll be glad to see the back of Andriy if, as rumoured, he goes back to Germany.
