What makes you guys so sure you're going to win the league or even finish in the top 4 next season?

United are going nowhere soon, even with Van Der Sar and Scholes retiring they'll get replaced, the Glazers know they'll lose more money by risk dropping out the top 4 that they'll lose by spending £40 Million give or take on new players.

Arsenal are a great side and as soon as they find an aggressive defensive player they'll be fine, Szeczny is a great keeper and will probably be number 1 next year.

Chelsea are probably the 3rd greatest side on the planet, behind barca and Real. yeah you may of beat them but they're still a top top side.

and city are on the rise full stop, they'll win the league within the next 4 years.

Don't get your hopes up too soon guys!

Did anyone watch Aquilani for Italy? Thought he looked like the sort of player we'd be looking at if we didn't already own him! He has good vision an excellent pass and he can get forward and shoot. Why not just keep him rather than make a huge loss?

Hi eds, great site just like to say that agger is a class defender and the only other defender ive seen that likes to bring the ball out and is willing to travel up field is ferdinand(unfortunatly with the scum), and he has been one of the prems best defenders, i say has as he is coming to the end of his career but he was at his peak at about 28/ 29 when he had experience, just think agger is 26 and has his peak to come and he is brilliant now it is scary to think how good he actually would be without injury

Possible team after the Summer:

- - - - - - - - - Reina- - - - - - - - -

- - - - - Kelly- -Agger- -Carragher- - -

Johnson- - - - - - - - - - - - - Coentrao

- - - - -Gerrard- -Adam- Meireles- - - -

- - - - - - - - Carroll- Suarez- - - - - -

Kenny playing the system we played against Stoke and Chelsea which worked well. Coentrao and Johnson not the best defensivly but can help out Kelly, Agger and Carragher and can provide that team with width. Gerrard, Meireles and Adam bossing the midfield and there would be plenty of creativity in that midfield and plenty of goals aswell. Also plenty of service from the wing-backs, and the three midfielders for Carroll and Suarez.

I'd prefer someone else in that position instead of Adam (as I think we could buy a better player).

I have been watching the arguing over Agger. I am long in the tooth and have seen may come and go.

In my opinion Agger is class. He is a proper 'european style' central defender. He's comfortable on ythe ball and he can bring it forward from the back. I rate him as better than Scales and Hysen. He is more skillful than Hyypiia but lacks the presence (at the moment). If they can sort out his back problem he has the potential to be - if he works hard - as good as Hansen, who is the greatest central defender I have ever seen bar none. Agger is only 26 and central defender is a position you grow into to - a position that requires intelligence and balance.

I can't believe that WBA got rid of Di Matteo and brought Hodgson in. There are 3 teams below WBA (Wigan, Wolves, West ham) and they still have their managers. I personally think that Di Matteo is better than McCarthy and Martinez, but i like Avram Grant. But surely Di Matteo is better than Hodgson?

IF WBA do go down, then they will only have themselves to blame. Hiring Hodgson will be a mistake, as we found out the hard way. But we had time to recover, WBA don't.

Ps. I feel sorry for WBA.

Yes but Hodgeson would play games for at least a point. Thats what WBA need so i'm sure theyd be happy with at least a point a game.

An if you looked at what I said i said talent with the ball. He rinses players for fun. The only center half with a shot on him like that is Vermalen. Ferdinand Terry Carragher etc don't rinse people and score 30 yard goals.

That Daniel Agger is class. He is the best footballing center half in the League. Forget Ferdinand nobody has talent on the ball like Agger and alongside Carragher he forms a mustard partnership. With Skrtel there as well it has got to be the 3 defenders you would least like to play against.

Spriggo


You guys really are deluded, Terry, Vidic, vermaelen, cahill and possibly Hangeland are all better imo. What do you think ed? ? {ed's note - Cahill and Hangeland are very average, Vermelaen has been injured so long I can't remember what he was like. Vidic is top class though.}

Why is everyone gettin' off on marveux, he is nearly 25 and has never sniffed the national team, even when laurent blanc suspended the entire squad and replaced them with 23 new players! {ed's note - he was injured then.}

surely at 24 though he would have had an opportunity by now if he was good enough? {ed's note - some players are later developers than others, remember a guy called Ian Wright?}

I usually agree with a lot that you say pal but my brother is a big baggies fan (long story don't ask) and apparently Di Matteo had lost the dressing room BIG time. Major fall outs with important players and also making very strange tactical decisions lately and had to go. As for Hodgson he was never gonna be right for us but he is a better coach than he showed with us. The fans would rather have had Jol but think Hodgson is the best of the rest. I hope so cos I'd like to see them stay up (family loyalty!)

So it was ok for you TOMHICKS/ RAINFISHTROMBONE(Liar/ Fraud) to come on here a few weeks ago. And slag us off about getting relegated?

No one asked you to come on at the time. You just saw how vulnerable we were, and were sniffing around like a vulture.

Why should Ed keep me off your site? When it's you, Red Knight etc. who say the wrong things. I won't repeat what you and Red Pr*ck said because it's not appropriate or worthy to be on this great site.

NOTE: Gerrard and Kelly didn't take part in training. Aurelio took Gerrard's place and John Flanagan took Kelly's place.

now your making assumptions. I don't really believe you about watching them to be honest, but how do you know it was aurellio taking gerrards place? Maybe he's starting and someone else was taking his place, like lucas. And its the same for Kelly.

ha , this is so true, I read a paper before I came to work this morning and it had quotes from agger on how everyonle was freinds with torres and wish him well and that hes moved on as we have and whishes him luck. It sounded like a very posistive freindly interview about the whol saga. I then read abou the same interview online and the quotes had been alltered to make it sound as though agger coudlnt stand the site of him and how it was a massive error. Ahh well just goes to show stories in the paper are just full of it

Hodgson appointed at West Brom


West Brom have confirmed the appointment of Roy Hodgson as head coach on a contract until June 2012.

The 63-year-old, who parted company with Liverpool five weeks ago after an ill-fated six-month stint at Anfield, succeeds Roberto Di Matteo in the Albion hotseat.

Wow, Can someone explain to me what Steve Clark does. I got into an augment with someone this weekend. They called Steve Clark the coffee boy for Kenny and all the reason success is solely down to Kenny.

I thought it had more to do with Steve Clark and what he brings to the club. But im not really sure what he has done at the club. The manager gets all the credit and half the time the backroom staff did the work. Alan shearer said on MOTD that Steve Clark must be responsibly for Liverpool new tactics. That Steve Clark is great man manager.

In my opinion we should go for Pablo Hernandez if we want an out and out winger. Ed would he be available and if he was would you go for him?

King Kam {ed's note - almost every player in Spain is available for the right price, the teams are all in serious amounts of debt. Yes I would go for him, I like the look of him.}

I hope we don't have another pre-season in Asia, the last one ended in injuries everywhere, the loss of Xabi Alonso and the team thinking they were invincible after the reception they got from the Asian fans.

i remember when standard chartered became our new sponsors they were bangin on about how they want to use liverpool to promote standard chartered arround the world especially in asia where we have a huge following. these bankers have paid us a lot of money i am sure we must of promised them an asia tour or 2 to get the deal.
still think standard chartered is the most ugly and boring sponsor ever. plus don't we all hate the banks for making us all skint?
can anyone think of a better sponsor?
im sure someone can think of a few funny ones to cheer me up? i can't think i am done in after earlys :(

Regardless of what Purslow wrote in his email, we are in a better position, both financially and in team performance since NESV took over. Of course KK has and is playing a big part but all I know is they are GOLD compared to H&G.

And that is what is important to me.

WHAT PURSLOW TOLD LFC BOARD IN EMAIL

"TO GET it straight, I think we should avoid the natural temptation to jump straight in to the deal with NESV. Whilst they are charming, intelligent and credible their bid is by any standards at the extreme bottom end of the of the 'right deal' threshold we set for ourselves: it only reduces debt by less than half and is I feel unlikely to yield incremental equity to fund a stadium. They may say they have money if necessary but I do not take this very seriously. Their eyes only lit up at the idea of other opportunity improvements. An American deal guy simply can't avoid using other people's money if they can.
There is no extra money on the table to enable short-term investment in what remains a squad palpably needing more quality if we are to be definitively top four. New American sport team owners with the senior guy being a hedge fund manager could not be worst from an image standpoint, which is an issue for us independents. I have not even talked about valuation. I leave that to other members of the board.
So what is positive? Answer, they exist. Which is not a lot, but it is not to be underestimated in importance. . So I repeat this is a bottom of the barrel outcome, "

Just an added note to Bob and LFC1892 I agree with almost everything said and it was interesting the point about Mourinho I didn't even get onto that myself about him not touching the youth setups. However Northern European would limit our talent spotting and that would prevent the likes of Mascherano coming who was sound when he played for us. I'd like more of that effort (shame about the way he left).

Spriggo

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

I agree Spriggo mate, Like LFC 1892 said I hope we get future players on merit regardless of where they are from. I think the reason that managers pick the players they do is usually because they go with what they know, hence Rafa and Spanish, Houlier with French and Comolli to a certain extent will prob know French players better. The reason I think KK wanted adams and was responsible for shelvey signing is because he watches allot of games in this country, but like you said I hope we don't limit our search, I'm not actually sure what the set up is for scouts but I presume/ hope LFC have scouts/ contacts placed all over that get in touch with the club to let them know about a player and then hopefully they send a main scout out to watch them. Again I have no knowledge that this is how it works but I am just presuming its along them lines. Perhaps someone can confirm the exact process?

I hope we don't have another pre-season in Asia, the last one ended in injuries everywhere, the loss of Xabi Alonso and the team thinking they were invincible after the reception they got from the Asian fans. Last years pre-season was s**ep. 1/ 3 of the games were delayed or called off due to weather causing disruption in the training schedules and the teams we played were average at best albeit a lot fitter as they had 4 weeks training behind them.

I think it would make perfect sense for Liverpool to have their pre-season in France. Ed do you agree? Surely you can see the positive short term benefits of this compared too another Asia tour, which I understand is a massive market but I feel its more important to give ourselves the best possible chance of starting the season well and getting Champions League back.

The Positives of a pre season in FRANCE instead of ASIA are as follows:
*Less travel for the players.
*Comolli / Kenny could sort out pre-season matches will some top Ligue 1 clubs some in France and others at Anfield - better for fans to watch *The weather is mostly stable during July/ August.
*Most importantly the team / training etc won't be too disrupted
*Whilst Comolli and Kenny to a lesser extent are in France they could make final checks on the massive wealth of young talent France has to offer. They potentially could begin to hold initial talks with the likes of Marseille (Taiwo), Bordeaux (Tremoulinas), Lille (Gervinho, Hazard), Paris St Germain -(Sakho, Hoarau) , Saint Etienne (Payet), Rennes( M'vila) and others about player availability and show the players that we want them, we are here first and we value them. Ed - do you not agree?

{Editor's Note: No I don't agree.}
- - - - - -
Spot on Mr. Editor.

We all have the best interests of our club in mind and in our hearts. We all want to start the season off well and get CL football. Don't you think that our owners and managers haven't already thought of that? But you suggesting that we should cut out a tour of Asia has absolutely nothing to do with that. Asia is extremely important to our future if we want to remain a top club worldwide.

Why even bother to go to France? We might as well just stay at Melwood. If it's just because you want us to keep an eye on French talent, why take the whole blooming squad there? Just send Comolli.

According to you, we should just forget about the most populated continent on earth where thousands of our fellow reds are dying to see us play live. And no I do not live in Asia, I live in Europe and when I get the opportunity to, I make it to Anfield. The majority of people in Asia cannot do that.

Do you know what it would mean to the thousands of supporters, who are just as crazy about the club as you and I are, to see LFC live?

In addition, their economy is booming; China, India, Malaysia, Tawian, Korea and the likes are economic powerhouses. Not only will we be satisfying our fans, we will add more to the fan base, share the joy with thousands of people who have waited their entire lives to see the squad, and increase our merchandising and marketing possibilities and activities.

In the current global village where distances are no longer an issue, and where businesses are expected to spread their wings all over the world in order to remain competitive and successful, you recommend for us to stay in Europe? ? Come on man. You gotta be kidding.

I know you only have the interests of our club at heart, but your suggestion is not a good one.

Was definitely a shame, even more surprising since he stated the other day that the club did not do enough to keep both torres and himself (here's me thinking his wife was homesick!) But hey ho, gotta look forward and I for one is excited by a team that is looking at youth and developing players in the right manner and mould. Would hate to see mourinho come in now and stop that development. Can't see anything other than a kk appointment in the summer and a crop of new youthful signings to compliment the team further. Contrary to what torres thinks, I think the club is positioning itself for another decade of dominance, just needs a bit of time to get there.

Just an added note to Bob and LFC1892 I agree with almost everything said and it was interesting the point about Mourinho I didn't even get onto that myself about him not touching the youth setups. However Northern European would limit our talent spotting and that would prevent the likes of Mascherano coming who was sound when he played for us. I'd like more of that effort (shame about the way he left).

Transfer targets much more likely to be northern European under Kenny. He will favour tougher, hard working players with no language difficulties. Look at the type of player favoured by Liverpool when they were dominant if you don't believe me. This is why Torres sold for Carroll. Suarez an exception to this rule but there's no doubt he can look after himself.


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

Agreed, however i don't think that is why we sold torres. I beleive KK loved Torres, its just that Torres didn't want LFC anymore. Maybe if we had had KK from the start of the season he would of stayed, although I think Rafa had a llot to do with it. Allot of the spanish players came because of Rafa, and I had previously though that Torres had lost beleif in Rafa however for some reson I feel that had Rafa stayed we would of kept Torres and we wouldn't have all this talk of Reina but would of lost Gerrard. I have no evidence of this of course just my opinion from interviews I have read over the last 1/ 2 a season or so. Either way I thought we needed a change and although I do like Rafa and thank him for the CL win and our youth system Im glad KK is here. One thing I would like to mention is the youth system, I watched the football focus interview on sat and i know rafa spent allot of money in the transfer market but if you look at the type of manager he is, he likes to be involved in the whole club and have a project to build. If you look at Mourhnio for instance he has never benn allowed to touch the youth set up and hasn't really built for the future he makes big $ signings for the now, but that dosent reall ys et the club up to run and means you have to keep buying players. Rafa mmay have bought some bad bargain buys but hopefully what he has set up will allow the club to capatlise in the future.

I know this post is a bit lon and is a bit irrelavant but hey ho, i was bored.

I think Bob is right about our future and it's refreshing to hear him talk about it as you do like looking back eh Bob?

In all fairness I would hope that transfers will be made on individual merit, looking at age, potential and sell on value (if transfer does not work out). I would think it would be silly to narrow the area we would look at to just northern European. If they are good enough then it does not matter where they are from. As long as they don't get home sick. .probably rules out the argies!

Re ; Football Rich List 2011
Liverpool are placed at 8th place on the 2011 list.
When you look at the capacities of the stadiums of the clubs above us, they're all 60,000 + (except Chelski, courtesy of a billionaire owner).
It just shows the potential revenue that we're missing out on.
Having said that, if we're in 8th place with no CL football and a smaller stadium - just shows we are a BIG club. With the potential to become MASSIVE !

If ever any (more) proof was needed about sky's agenda toward Liverpool then their story about Agger and his slating of Torres' move to Chelsea is all we need.

It's not the fact that they were fabricated, he definitely condemned the move and torres, but sky have not only put a negative spin on it, but they have claimed that he spoke to the S*n! It was actually a Danish paper called Ekstra Bladet. To claim the s*n, of all papers, just shows how sky will take any opportunity to try and put us down!

Just as they did with headline: Ajax ace rules out reds. This was their headline to the story about Ericksen stating that although sammy Lee had been spotted in the crowd supposedly watching him, he said he gets watched all the time by lots of clubs but felt he was at the best place for him and expected to see out his contract. Now this to me is him ruling out a move to ANY club, not just Liverpool. Arsenal, Chelsea and man utd are all known to be keen but it's only Liverpool who have been ruled out?! It's ridiculous. Watch them run with a 'Ericksen to Chelsea/ arsenal/ Utd' story, the second they get any sort of connection whatsoever.

I know this post makes me sound bitter but I'm so sick of sky and the way they treat our club. All they want is negativity. If something good happens they almost resent it and are just waiting for us to slip up again! I don't think we should get special treatment or coverage, I just wish they'd stop all the hate. Just treat us the same and show us some respect!

Why does the word spam get edited into "spam" etc when it used to describe a infamous premier league club but on the other hand, words such as Liverpool go unchanged on the other sites?. Why such a strict policy of censorship ed?. Don't you think it's a bit over the top? (not to mention bias). Reminds me of the censorship on fifa 11 where you can't even type the letters "WTH" when typing to mates in a private room. Crazy!.

I hope we don't have another pre-season in Asia, the last one ended in injuries everywhere, the loss of Xabi Alonso and the team thinking they were invincible after the reception they got from the Asian fans. Last years pre-season was s**ep. 1/ 3 of the games were delayed or called off due to weather causing disruption in the training schedules and the teams we played were average at best albeit a lot fitter as they had 4 weeks training behind them.

I think it would make perfect sense for Liverpool to have their pre-season in France. Ed do you agree? Surely you can see the positive short term benefits of this compared too another Asia tour, which I understand is a massive market but I feel its more important to give ourselves the best possible chance of starting the season well and getting Champions League back.

The Positives of a pre season in FRANCE instead of ASIA are as follows:
*Less travel for the players.
*Comolli / Kenny could sort out pre-season matches will some top Ligue 1 clubs some in France and others at Anfield - better for fans to watch *The weather is mostly stable during July/ August.
*Most importantly the team / training etc won't be too disrupted
*Whilst Comolli and Kenny to a lesser extent are in France they could make final checks on the massive wealth of young talent France has to offer. They potentially could begin to hold initial talks with the likes of Marseille (Taiwo), Bordeaux (Tremoulinas), Lille (Gervinho, Hazard), Paris St Germain -(Sakho, Hoarau) , Saint Etienne (Payet), Rennes( M'vila) and others about player availability and show the players that we want them, we are here first and we value them. Ed - do you not agree?

Were Liverpool cursed with Dominic King?
Stop and think about it a second.
2009 we nearly won the league, being pipped to the post by the Mancs.
Everything seemed to be in place for a concerted challenge the following season with most pundits expecting us to kick on.
At the Liverpool Echo, Tony Barrett moves to the Times with Dominic King (professed LFC Fan), who incidentally had been covering the Everton reports and True Blue column in the Echo up until that point, moving over to cover the Liverpool reports and the Blood Red column in Tony Barretts absence.
All of a sudden we were plagued by injuries and very dodgy results, Beach Balls at Sunderland, last minute goals against in Europe for example. Liverpool nose dived out of the Champions League and drive for a top four position collapsed. Rafa made his exit and Roy Hodgson was placed in the position of managing a team with severe confidence issues. Within weeks of his appointment there were positive vibes and this developed into an excellent performance against Arsenal, only to be undone once again by a last minute goal.
Fast forward to 09/ 01/ 11 Dominic King moves to the Daily Mail and Luke Traynor takes over his responsibilities at the Echo. Kenny returns to take over the reins at Liverpool. Despite a dodgy second minute penalty and Gerrard being sent off the teams improvement was palpable. After Bloomfield Road the cloud that had arrived with King had cleared and after four wins and four clean sheets the sun appear to be shining once again on LFC.
I am not trying to blame Dominic King for our bad luck. . just the same way as you would not blame Jonah for being swallowed by the Whale! ! !

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has moved to quash reports that Pepe Reina is set for the exit door this summer, with Old Trafford a rumoured destination.

Reina, who signed a new six-year deal last season, which reportedly has a £20 million escape clause, has long been admired by Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and has been touted as a potential replacement for the retiring Edwin van der Sar.

Dalglish, however, has insisted that the Spaniard will remain at Anfield for the long term, and that the return of Champions League football to Merseyside is his priority as manager.

Speaking to reporters, Dalglish said: "We have a fantastic goalkeeper and he will be here for a long, long time.

Editor we should target Ever Banega to fill alonso's boots not Charlie Adam, would you agree with me on this. A 3 man-midfield of Banega, Meireles, Lucas would have much more depth defensively together with meireles and banega also spraying passes around the park and have a front 3 of Gerrard, Carrol, Suarez. Would very much appreciate your feedback editor, thankyou. {ed's note - Banega or Martinez would be my choice, rather than Adam, I would edge towards Javi Martinez though, he looks ideal for the Prem.}

in my opinion our central midfield of gerrard, lucas an miereles is good enough as it is, one of those players wud edge out lucas an hes bin our best player this season

1 MAKE A CHOICE ON THE MANAGER KENNY HAS TO GET IT ALL DAY LONG FOR ME

2 FIND A NEW CEO VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE CLUBS FUTURE MY CHOICE WOULD BE DAVID DEIN

3 SORT OUT THE DEADWOOD IN THE SQUAD AND SHIP THEM OUT ASAP

4 IDENTIFY TRANSFER TARGETS EARLY DONT LEAVE IT LATE GET THEM EARLEY AS POSS SO THEY CAN HAVE A GOOD PRE SEASON AND FIND THERE FEET AT LFC AS THERE ARE NO INTERNATIONAL CUPS THIS SUMMER WE CAN GET IT DONE EARLEY

5 MAKE A CHOICE ON THE GROUND SITUATION AS WE ARE MILES BEHIND THE OTHER BIG CLUBS IN THE WAY OF REVENUE

6 KEEP THE FAITH NESV ARE DOING A GOOD JOB AND ARE DECENT PEOPLE THE GOOD TIMES ARE GOING TO RETURN . FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS WE HAVE NOT GOT A LOT TO MOAN ABOUT

I don't have information regards other players but Honda is one i have extensive contact with, His agent was at Melwood back in December but nothing could be worked out due to Asia Cup etc, we may have blown it as there are a number of clubs interested in the summer while we could have snapped him up over Christmas and announced in Jan.

I stated in January that there was NO chance we would sign him in January as his agent said unless it was done before the Asia cup then it wouldn't be done.

I can verify my contact if any of the Eds wishes to email me, they have my email address.

{ed's note - I fail to see what relevance a player's previous club is, so long as he plays well for Liverpool that is the only thing that matters. I also fail to see that it matters who we sell them to so long as we get as much as we value the player in return.}

Fail to agree with this Ed. When a player leaves LFC and joins a club in the premier league that is competing for the same spots as we are, definitely its weakening our squad while at the same time strengthening our competitor's. I think that we should probably not sell to our direct competitors, even though educated risks like the Torres one can't make any supporter unhappy.

Hi Ed, Totally addicted to the site. Just wondering your views around Pepe. I really want him to stay but am not 100% convinced he will.God forbid he does leave, who could we get of the following:
Hart - swap deal?
Given - swap deal plus hefty cash?
Given & Jo Lewis - can Lewis be good enough for LFC?
Lloris - looks top quality every time I see him

Please post as I'd love it!

- -Liverpool need flair on the wings, has everyone forgot about Ricardo Quaresma; i reckon we could pick him up on the cheap and would be a great addition to the squad- -

I seriously hope you were kidding mate. This guy has been a flop at most of the top sides he's played at, which are Barca, Inter and Chavski. Perhaps he did well back in Porto and is now doing well at Besiktas, but that is certainly not good enough for LFC. If we want to win the league next season, it will NOT be with players like him.

In addition, he is 27 and his career is already going downhill. Finally, this bloke's got a big mouth; constantly criticizing the teams he plays for and the managers. In 2004 while at Barca, he refused to play for the club as long as Rijkaard was in charge! !What type of an attitude is that? And you want to bring this primadonna to Liverpool?

No thank you.

I wouldn't expect for us to play our 3 man defense against Wigan. They play a 3 man front line, so the 3 man defense won't work. Our wingbacks would have to mark their wide forwards, giving us no width in attack. Then our 3 defenders would be surplus marking just one attacker. Having said that I think we will see something like this:

- - - - - - - Reina- - - - - - -
Kelly- Carragher- Agger- -Johnson
- - - - - - -Poulsen- - - - - - -

For quite a few years now, the media especially, have claimed Liverpool's squad lacked quality in depth. Yet, Liverpool went to Stamford Bridge with a such a "quality-lacking" squad, with only Gerrard and Reina regarded as "World Class" and played Chelsea off the park and made them look quite ordinary!

Which proved that Liverpool's squad is not as bad as a lot of people are saying and that the tactics are probably more important than the players who are picked to play them.

I see to remember when Liverpool were "kicking-ass" all round England and Europe in 1970s and 1980s they never had the 'glamour names' of the day. All the players who were highly rated were at other clubs! Liverpool just had the odd gem, such as Dalglish or Keegan etc etc. but Liverpool had a succession of brilliant managers in Shankly, Paisley, Fagan and Dalglish.

If, and it looks likely, Dalglish has not lost his touch, then I think LFC could be in for a bright future.

I don't think Reina will leave. But if he does how about Stockdale of Fulham for replacement?
-----------------------------------
This young lad Stockdale used to play for Darlington FC in the lower leagues a couple of seasons ago.I have seen him numerous times. You could see he was destined for much bigger things in his career.He has all the attributes to be a top keeper you can see this when he played for Fulham while Schwarz was away.It looked too me at the time FFC got him as a replacement for Schwarz. I don't think that they would sell him, but certainly one to keep in mind if Pepe ever wanted to leave but I very much doubt he will.

- - - - - - - Reina- - - - - - -
Kelly- Carragher- Agger- -Johnson
- - - - - - -Poulsen- - - - - - -
- - - Lucas- - - Meireles- - - -
- -Gerrard- - - - - - - -Suarez- -
- - - - - - - Kuyt- - - - - - - -
****************

Didn't Chelsea play with a 3 man attack, and then brought on Malouda to try get width and our 3 man defence managed fine!

Queresma has had ample chance to do something at a host of clubs. The lad doesn't seem to want to know.

I don't think Reina will leave. But if he does how about Stockdale of Fulham for replacement?

{Editor Note: It was always going to be hard to get him while the Asia Cup took up much of the January transfer window.}

If we wanted Honda we would have got him. Fact is, he isn't good enough for LFC. {ed's note - you mean in your opinion he isn't it, as it is hardly a fact.}

Liverpool need flair on the wings, has everyone forgot about Ricardo Quaresma; i reckon we could pick him up on the cheap and would be a great addition to the squad

I wouldn't expect for us to play our 3 man defense against Wigan. They play a 3 man front line, so the 3 man defense won't work. Our wingbacks would have to mark their wide forwards, giving us no width in attack. Then our 3 defenders would be surplus marking just one attacker. Having said that I think we will see something like this:

- - - - - - - Reina- - - - - - -
Kelly- Carragher- Agger- -Johnson
- - - - - - -Poulsen- - - - - - -
- - - Lucas- - - Meireles- - - -
- -Gerrard- - - - - - - -Suarez- -
- - - - - - - Kuyt- - - - - - - -

I bet you this summer's transfer window will be exciting and filled with surprises and next year lfc will dominate the prem.

Is there any way to involve European clubs. I know it would be mad with languages and whatever like but I was just wondering if you have any views on taking it any further? I'm not saying you should or shouldn't just interested! {ed's note - if there was a call for sites on other clubs they could be done. There just hasn't been any call for sites on any others as of yet.}

Ed any plans to expand this site? European style?! {ed's note - I am not sure what you mean mate?}

TK what did i tell you on the Man'ure site mate?

This a site for people who actually know what they are talking about, which dosn't include you. Unless you've got somthing constructive to say (which i doubt). You are not REDS you are FAKE!

Now please remove yourself from this football site. Or we will get TheTurdz to escort you from the premises.

*Its ok Blair. . It must be frustrating to realise a poor old United fan has 10 times more knowledge than you when it comes to football. Dont be intimidated mate. .I'll allow you to still talk to me as you clearly can't drag yourself away. Its ok though. . I don't mind taking the time to impart my vast knowledge and wisdom upon you.

1st you say Scouse Mouse

"I'm probably the only scouser that can't stand Kenny"

Then you say

It's not that i don't like him as such it's that i don't think he's the man to save liverpool as much as a lot us want him to be.

He may of won our last 4 games and one against Chelsea but that doesn't prove anything to me as anyone could of done it. .

I just feel that he hasn't done enough to earn my respect and admiration as a MANAGER, and i think that being out of the game for so long and not being a manager for so long will come back to haunt him at some stage. .

More Scouse Than A Mouse.

No idea why WBA did that. They started the season flying but it was always going to be tough for them to stay up especially when not investing a lot. I thought they were in with a chance with Di Matteo. Hughton is in line for the job. That's the latest I've read.

I understand fully your point ed but I think when we buy players they usually are not from the elite of europe i.e. barca, real, manu, arsenal who pool are a part of, we buy players from clubs a tier lower than lfc's stature. But our players always end up going to these rivals of ours which I do not mind as long as it is not clubs from the prem.
In this case we are then backtracking ourselves on our case with torres then, and it is slowly becoming a trend at lfc. Ed your opinion, I hope my point was made a bit clearer.thanks

hibsylfc {ed's note - I fail to see what relevance a player's previous club is, so long as he plays well for Liverpool that is the only thing that matters. I also fail to see that it matters who we sell them to so long as we get as much as we value the player in return.}
