Do you not think we should judge our signings at the end of the transfer window.

Ings doesn't excite me on his own but if we sign another top striker and sell Balotelli etc, do we he not be a great young talent to have in our squad?

Also i don't understand why people are complaining about the sacking of Pascoe and Marsh, they where never good enough in my opinion.

I also have no idea if Pako is coming back but can tell you that i saw and spoke to him in West Kirby the other day and he was very guarded when we spoke about Liverpool, i personally think he will be in some capacity, which would be a fantastic signing.

Also just keep your eye on the Kono situation , i think it could happen, but that is my opinion.

Cheers

Macca

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool will need to act very quickly if they are to sign Konoplyanka given that he has a contract on the table from Seville (much to the chagrin of Roma).}

I think Ings is really good business for the club tbh Macca, what's your opinion of the Milner signing and do you expect some of last year's signings to come good, I think Markovic will be very good next season if given chance in his best position?

Hi Ed, wasn't aware of the contract from Seville, i just have a hunch, your info is probably more up to date than mine. Hope all is well mate.

{Ed002's Note - That information was good as of yesterday afternoon Macca - and it was expected there would be a counter offer from Roma and just possibly Inter as well. I don't see any update today unless he rejects the Sevilla offer and his agent lets that be known. So it needs be quick for Liverpool as far as I can tell.}

Thanks Macca and ED2 your knowledge and insight are much appreciated. Well guess we have to move fast if we are to get the Kono deal done.

Ed. 2 & Macca
Why is there so meny kovacic reports saying he's verbally agreed to join Liverpool and we're going back and forth with inter about the price? When the echo and others has said we're not interested.

{Ed002's Note - I cannot account for things published on Twitter or in blogs, or on websites who take information from here, or twitter or blogs. I have no idea what the "Echo" or "others" have said. I have explained the situation with the player, with Ausilio and with the offer from Liverpool. The club are not stupid enough to have approached the player directly. They know what they need to do to give a deal the opportunity of going through. Inter need to raise money and are looking for interest from elsewhere, or looking to sell others.}

Depends on whether one considers it likely we will sign another striker to me. I don't know that I consider Ings adequate for 2nd choice and he's been pretty vocal about not wanting to sit on a bench and stating he wanted assurances of playing time which doesn't sound to me like someone who is expecting to be 3rd choice.

I'll be gutted if we don't get Konoplyanka on a free. His delivery and trickery is brilliant and creates tonnes of chances too.

Don't understand why we haven't yet. That's if we haven't of course. Macca is what your hearing that we have offered him a contract or are we not even that far down the line yet?

Sorry Macca I can't see us going for another forward numbers wise we'd be going from 3 available last season to at least 5. 3 was too many for Rodgers as he had no interest in using them and they were all signed by him or signed when he was here.

Ings, Origi, Lambert, Sturridge, New Forward. Also Sinclair coming through.

The above seems too much from the way we play but the above also assumes we can sell Balotelli, Borini and Aspas.

Interesting thing about Ings. Of his goals last year, they were pretty evenly spread between left foot, right foot and head. (4,4,3 in some combo, can't remember but was on OPTA).

Nice that we have someone coming who just likes to put the ball in the net, so fuss.

Maybe the reason for lfc not moving more quickly for Konoplyanka is that they feel they need to sort out the sale of Sterling and others first?
I imagine one problem with having to sell to buy is that the selling bit has to come first.

Macca, the firings worry me because the owners did not appoint theses assistants, BR did. So why are they paying for his failures? I would understand if they appointed Pascoe and Marsh but that was not the case. To me, it shows they don't trust him to do good on his own and with his own staff. They already don't trust him with money hence, the TC. So why keep a guy you really don't trust? To me, if you're going to fire everybody else but the head coach then it will end in tears because I've seen it happen. Here in the U.S, an owner did the exact same thing and the team got worse by the year until the coach was eventually fired. Why do you think that won't happen here?

Redohio, FSG appointed both of them, they may have been recommended by BR but he did not draw up the contracts or pay their wages, what a ridiculous statement to make.
