Hey ed001. What would you say the best signing we have made In the past 15 years is? Torres? Suarez? Klopp? Alonso? Mignolet? (Dalglish in the dugout may have had the potential. We really bugged that one up) .

Gotta say, it's early to say it, but I can't really explain how big of a refreshment having Klopp in the dugout is. Klopp for me is the biggest one.

Don't say Rodgers either Ed I know how much you miss him 😏.

{Ed001's Note - Xabi Alonso was genuinely world class and we never replaced him. Klopp will be the one who takes it in time.}

Alonso is the best player to have played for Liverpool in the premier league era. Only just. Suarez, Fowler, Owen, Gerrard and Torres were all the best in their positions in world football at some point. Owen one of the only Premier league players to have won the Balon D'or.

Alonso plays one of the most thankless positions in the world though and does it better than any other player in modern football history. Very few players win the CL at 3 different clubs. He was the mainstay in the Spain midfield across their years of international dominance. A very special player. The one that got away for sure.

I loved Alonso. Such a classy player. Great positional sense and his range of passing was too draw. I'm so pleased he's done well at Madrid and Bayern after leaving.

Totally agree with Ed, Xavi was the best and worst transfer in the last 15 years ( Best In, Worst out )


I think Stewart will prove to be a very good transfer, especially for a free .

Klopp was actually an amazing transfer, especially when you consider how bad we are in general at conducting our transfer business.


When you look at the transfers over the last 15 years its not always great reading .

Remember going to a Liverpool v Arsenal game under the lights a few years back. We won 1-0 Garcia with a last minute winner. anyways, Alonso was unreal that night got took off with 15 left and it was crazy the difference in the game. Never had a man within 10 yards of him had time and space constantly. sign of a world class players when he can create space in a packed pitch.

Have to agree with Ed001 here. Alonso was probably the most naturally talented midfielder I've ever seen at LFC. Made the game look easy, a real class act. I was gutted when he left, and as pointed out above we've never quite filled his boots.

Alonso is and probably always will be in my opinion the best player to ever play for Liverpool.

Alonso legend was cheap enough aswell absolute bargain Rafa't showed his stupidity by not building around him and trying to sell him


Personally Mash Alonso and Stevie

We're up there with the best in the world.

I always look forward to your insightful and well worded comments.
I think Alonso may have only won it with 2 clubs. Was nt he suspended fir the Munich Final. Seedoef has won it with 3.

On another point, I remember trying to explain after one of Alonsos' many fantastic performances how Alonso was a better " Footballer" than Gerrard but for Liverpool Gerrard was the better player. I am not going to start a debate on this but I believe certain fans amongst you would understand were I was coming from.

Just like I was explaining to some of my more unfortunate everton friends how Williams is a better Defender than Stones but Stones is a better player.
On Sats game. No idea were Ron Keague is coming from saying Burnley will park the bus. He does realise this game got re arranged and is away from home or is Ron not aware of that massive new stand of ours.
Shame about The Beatles splitting up eh Ron!

what a strange post mickey 🤔

You obviously don't think Burnley will park the bus because they're at home. We will find out on Saturday.

I'd just like to point out for the benefit of mickeyboy Burnley's last 10 home games have yielded 7 clean sheets and 3 goals conceded.
