Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

If Jones did come to us (i think he won't) then i would welcome him just like any other player. He's a quality player (even know we don't need him), we would have stole him away from the Mancs and again showed our desire to pay whatever it takes, to get our targets. IF the Daily Fail rumour is true and we have made a bigger bid this is forcing Fergies hand, in paying an extra 6-9 mill for a player he thought he already had. Like the Ed's and Macca keep telling us, things could change at anytime. This could be a perfect example of what the Ed's and Macca have been saying for months.

Don't expect any players to wear the red shirt, untill they've signed on the dotted line.

Why do lots of people make the comment that Adam is a 'one-season wonder'? Hasn't he only had one season in the prem? Would that also make Suarez, Carroll, Mereilles etc 'one-season wonders'? Not saying we should defo sign him mind!

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 23:44:49
ed has jones properly signed for unite yes or no {Ed001's Note - he has agreed a deal, but it is not signed yet.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 23:36:54
I think that liverpool should not sign anyone from the italian leagur becauseof the game being played at a slow pace most of the players are not good enough for the prem and liverpool e.g. aqualani so i think it will be a big risk buying cavani

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 23:31:35
Has anybody considered that jones would have to agree to join Liverpool utd wouldn't have to match the offer.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 23:28:39
Heard that LFC have offered a player plus cash deal for Jones. Does any body know the LFC player in question?

i 4 one do not want jones, 1 he wanted to join the scum, 2 it will stop the progress of kelly, flanna and robo and cost us millions and 3 we want wingers, lets look at it until dalglish came in this year we neva had any prospects defensively, ie konchitty, now we need proper players, i believe we are quite solid at back, myself i would go for arda, downing, jeffron and bojan, look at our youth- 1-2 seasons and laughing, mata would be massive as we have no proper lw, but every other pos apart from gk sorted. coady, suso, sterling, wisdom, morgan, even the hungarian kids look good prospects

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 23:26:44
I like everyone want Liverpool to invest well and am desperate to know who we will buy. The site is great reading but how can anyone really know who we are getting. I mean did anyone predict the Henderson deal and if so how far ahead of the deal were they. Can you honestly believe people know our transfer dealings 3 weeks ahead of their completion dates. I want to believe but I find it difficult to

Got a really good felling that we will win the league next season with the top quality players where getting hope we get downing clichy mata agureo class team deffo top 4 next season

wat does anybody think of sean st ledger iv never really seen him play for his club but iv seen him play for ireland and he plays really well for them
hed be cheap and has alot to learn

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 23:01:39
If Kenny & Damian think Jones is right for Liverpool we should get him regardless of mancs or whatever -the lad is 19, a very good prospect & English (were there is always a premium)...

There might be politics involved but I trust Kenny & the club will do the right thing!

ed i have a plan, lets kidnap DC and torture him till he tells us who wer in for we can tie him up on a chair strip him down to his y-fronts socks and his half eleven masses and tickle him with feathers the suspense is killing me! and im having withdrawls from lack of footy..pain in me backside reading same posts and speculations over and over again love the site for its select few genuine posters and all the ed's opinions and insights still thinking strongly of ambushing the french slime ball wat u think?all joking aside and i hope im wrong but i just cant take to DC atal i dont trust him in the slightest i genuinely hope my judgement will change in time and he does well by LFC..JG {Ed001's Note - I have to admit I am a little unsure of him, but he did well with Suarez, so we can't really complain.}

I want Cavani next to Carroll, Suarez in a front three next season playing 4-3-3 in attack but 4-5-1 in defence with Hamsik, Gerro, Hendo possible as skrtel can talk to Hamsik and get Cissouko for left back with Sakho next to him. YNWA

Sure, I would like to see Messi, Aguero, Ronaldo, Xavi Hernadez, Iniesta, Masc .... Maradona&Pele. WAKE UP!


Did you not notice the way he signed it?

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 22:50:27
Please post this

Can I just say, if some of you are going to make up lies about players who are going to be joining us etc. if you want to make your so called rumour sound believable then at least get the players names and club names right.

Also, I know it is highly unlikely that Phil Jones could join us. But when people are saying I would rather have Scott Dann than Phil Jones because he supports Liverpool and will fight for the shirt. I don't agree with this statement because I would fight for a place in the Liverpool as well, but that doesn't mean Liverpool should sign me.

Please think about what your are writing before you post, you are making a fool of Liverpool fans.

Keep up the good work Ed's, I feel for you when people are continuously posting stupid rumours.

KK has started the mind games already. Alax has met his match. We cant lose here. Blackburn will force utd to pay the 22m we offered. If they dont we get another great young player and we get one over on utd. worth a gamble use utd transfer budget up and they might not have the money to compete with LFC's real transfer targets
KK IS GOD ! BELIEVE

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 22:44:03
Any links to quotes from either Jones, or his agent, where it's stated he prefered manutd offer to that of ours please gang?

I hope we get Xherdan Shaqiri cheap young and can score from anywhere i also hope we get Mata, Sylvain Marveaux and a other winger all would only cost about 50 mil and if we also got 2 back up striker in Wickham for 12 mil get a left back in Clichy or Enrique for about 12 mil that would make our spending up to 94(with Henderson deal) sell some fringe players and we would get some of that back ed what do you think of the chances of the players listed and do you rate them
thanks
L4L {Ed001's Note - if we get Shakira like you asked we would have to change our style. He is a ball hog that needs to be the centre of the whole team, he is not a player for a quick passing team.}

As much as I fear the Cavani connection has been dreamt up by someone looking at the Uruguayan national team sheet, that would be effin' awesome!

Beyond the realms of possibility?

I for one will be disappointed if we sign charlie adam, he wont play as we have better midfielders at the club and he was a one season wonder, he is a player that stands out when he has less able players surrounding him abit like mccarthy and nzogbia at wigan
Although, ive heard that we will be signing a left sided player, dont know who early next week.so its a possibilty he could sign.

Well played KK and DC for stirring it up over Jones. Interestingly, Jones was offered to Exeter City on a season long loan at the start of last season and they turned him down! They missed out on the playoffs by 1 point. Apparently Blackburn only wanted a nominal fee as a contribution each month towards his wages.

Valencia midfielder Juan Mata has said that he is content to remain at his current club, insisting that he is happy where he is.

Mata is currently preparing for Spain's Euro Under-21 Championship campaign that kicks off on Sunday evening with a crunch game against England.

The 23-year-old is reportedly being chased by a host of Premier League clubs including Chelsea and Manchester City, but the Spain international wants to remain at the Mestalla.
"Being here [in Denmark] isolates us all from speculation. If we were on holiday we would probably hear more. The reality is that I am happy at Valencia. It took me four years to break through but now I can play regularly in the first-team and for Spain, " he is quoted as saying by AS.
"I am putting in a lot of effort to come [to Denmark]. I enjoy playing here as the oldest player. This is not a step down or a holiday for me but a different challenge, which will improve me as a footballer."
When asked which players he felt stood out ahead of the tournament in Denmark, Mata was not short of names and mentioned Manchester United target David de Gea as a player who is set to make an impression in Scandinavia.
"There are many. Midfielders such as Thiago [Alcantara], Ander [Herrera] and [Dani] Parejo as well as Iker Muniain, who is 18 but plays like he is 30, " Mata enthused.

"There is also the strong [David] De Gea and Adrian, who is a complete player."

What about this kid for the swiss shaqiri just watched him and he looks like a player worth looking at.

(eds : whats your veiw on him and would you think we would look at him?) {Ed001's Note - he is one of those players, like Nani, that will look to do everything on his own when his teammates are in better positions. He is not a team player, I really can't see us having any interest whatsoever in him, though he has been watched in the past.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 21:49:27
I'm not saying I know the Phil Jones to United deal is definitely off as I know little about it (and I suspect that even if it is off United would pay whatever it takes to get him) but to those people saying we shouldn't go for him if it is off just because he agreed terms with United, I think you're being narrow-minded. The lad got a personal visit from Ferguson, who went to his parents' house in person and guaranteed him first team football. Stuff like that can hugely sway a decision, and you can't expect him to hate United just cos we want to sign him. I also read in the Echo the other day that in Kenny's last spell he nabbed Hysen who had agreed terms with United. It means nothing, if he is available we should go for him because he's top class, simple as

No way will sign him now as he has pledged alligence to longshanks!

can any of the eds confirm this?

Does anyone know were plessi is ? I'm a taxi driver and used to pick him up. But havent for a while. I know last year he was offered the chance to go to lazio on loan but he wouldn't take a drop in wages

i hope we try to buy Xherdan Shaqiri looks a great talent and a good winger can score from anywhere hes young and would be available for a fairly small fee we could get him mata (hopefuly) and another winger for less than 50 mil i reckon

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 21:20:56
Football is truly global & is full of opinions, giving us loads to talk about throughout the year.

One opinion I trust is KKs n whoever he buys is good enough 4 me. Look at his judgement with flanno & robbo.

About the Cavani rumour....
I know he's been on loan at Napoli this season (from Palermo) I think im right in saying he's signed for Napoli on a permanent deal (all pre-arranged last year). Would it now be possible for Napoli to sell him for a huge profit?
Obviously he hasnt played for more than one team this calendar year, so im assuming we could in theory sign him.
I so want this to be true. He would fit well into a 4-3-3 system with Suarez, Carroll & Cavani playing up top, & Stevie, Lucas & Hendo in midfield. If Mata came aswell, we really would be spoilt for choice.
Cant wait,
Roll on July 1st!!!

its all about Shaqiri - DC & KK must bid Basel will surely not demand more than £10m. Only 19 and he looks outstanding. Against England he was in so many good positons but never got played in. Tonight its all about him, he's seeing alot of the ball and he is shining.

@JARI_L
You honestly believe Arsene Wenger is going to "spend big". When has Wenger EVER spent big? You must be even dumber than you seem too. Wenger likes to buy young, scouted players for cheap and try and turn them into his little young super star unit. It's what he has always done. Arsenal will most likely sign Gervinho..but if you think they're going to get Benzema, etc etc, youre going to be very disappointed. Also, Yann M'Vila isnt getting a "new contract" from PSG because he plays for Rennes you idiot.

PS Dont get on a Liverpool page and trash KK EVER or even DC for that matter. True supporters know exactly what I'm talking about. so GTFO.

PSS Liverpool have more spending ability than Arsenal right now anyway..get your facts straight.

Just wanna point something out about our manager. Alan Hansen says that Kenny Dalglish knows football better than anyone else he knows, and that he knows the game inside out, both British football and abroad. Harry Redknapp has also agreed with this and many he spent the years before becoming manager scouting many players for the club. If a player is good enough for Kenny then he's damn sure good enough for me

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 20:41:50
N'Zogbia. Another overrated player. Average player stands out of a poor squad. Same for James McCarthy

I usually watch MOTD every week in the season and when I watch wigan and see N'zogbia he has amazing dribbling, you can't say he stands out in a bad team if he's taking on people, that would be the defender's fault and he's in the same league as us!

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 20:37:58
Not a rumour, just a thought from all of these rumours as to how all the fellow reds think we will be lining up come up august if we get the players they think??

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 20:37:00
Guys, listen, we are NOT signing Cavani. Why not? Because he has only just signed for Napoli! He was on loan last season from Palermo and then they signed him permanently at the end of the season. He hasn't officially played a game as a Napoli player so they're not going to sell him. Give it a rest.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 20:35:35
downing is majorly overated and overpriced instead we should sign albrighton rather than him

my washing machine is making very strange noise almost like a clicking sound...does this mean we will sign gael?

do we think lfc will enter bidding for modric, kd gone on record twice to my knoledge proclaiming what a great player he is adnd got king kennys vote for player of year. possibly we dont need him now we have henderson but maybe the creative midfielder behind the strikers we need, would we sacrifice spearing and j cole to land him?

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 20:07:22
Hi eds great site.

Just a quick one for all those posters who say charles nzogbia to Lpool, no chance! Why?Carroll and nzogbia had a high profile brawl in 09 so that rules Charlie boy out don't you think?

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 20:05:21
come off it, cavani is not joining us this summer, but if he does, fair play mate.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 19:42:35
do you know if the telegraphs Rory Smith is 'in the know' as it were as he claims we aren't in for Mata but thinks Downing, Clichy, Wickham, Marveaux and Adam will go through

cheers ed

SL {Ed001's Note - he might well be in the know about some things but he is obviously not in the know about everything. We are interested in Mata, we might not get him because the competition is fierce, but we want him.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 19:40:50
Matias Silvestre?
Really.
I love it when we are linked with the crem de la crem of european football.
Next I think we should buy Rico Van Den Flennenburgen. Plays for FC Brudenfart in Transylvania.

Mrs ferguson headed for the supermarket tuesday night as she heard
there was a Succulent young venky chicken for sale.
But she had to move quickly as there was two promising housewifes
also interested.The chickens take home and cook clause was 1.60
Homever some delboy//cockney housewife said it was a steal at that price.

Now Venkys are holding out for 2.50.Taggart is going Apesh!t.

Hi Eds - not sure where to ask for this post to be placed, or if you'll allow it!?

I am fortunate to have been asked to take part in a charity football match against a team of Liverpool Legends on Sept 4th at Daventry Town FC. Myself and the other LFC fans selected to play are raising as much as we can for Help for Heroes and The Hillsborough Families Support Group.

I am posting as I want to raise the profile of this event, but also in the hope that I can help increase the monies raised for the aforementioned groups! This could be in the form of businesses sponsoring the event in some shape or form, or even individuals looking to donate.

If you are reading this post and are interested in sponsoring the event in some manner, please contact me on the email that I have provided the Eds with on this post.

Thank you for reading

11 Jun 2011 19:20:35
hi ed, LC has said that liverpool will sign 5-6 players this summer. so who do you think these players will be? i think:
Henderson
Mata
Downing
Clichy
Wickham
Matias Silvestre. what do you think? {Ed001's Note - LC? I think I wouldn't even like to try and guess, the signing of Henderson shows the club is more than likely to surprise the hell out of us all!}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 19:13:25
Chances of us signing Mata anytime soon is low. He is in Denmark for the U21's championship. He will be wanting to focus on that fully! OK he will know that we've been linked with him, and maybe. If were lucky. If were very very lucky, we might be able to maybe talk to him about a possible move. Low chance though.

Also, why go for Charlie Adam. One season wonder. Theres a reason why he was signed for £500,000 and for Blackpool who where in the Championship. He came to the Premier League and has been a one-season wonder. He does have a free-kick pedigree. But so do we. In Gerrard. Suarez. Aurelio. And Meireles could probably line one up if push came to shove. Also, we have plenty of central midfielders anyway. with the likes of:
.Gerrard
.Merieles
.Lucas
.Shelvey
.Spearing
And with more coming through in the next couple of years, the likes of;
.Coady
.Suso
.Rodden
.Irwin
So this move which is apparently going on makes no sense to me.
FYI: Charlie Adam is on his way back from Dubai. He is NOT having a medical. If your going to make rubbish up. At least make it believable.

And why sell Meireles. Much better than Adam. Gerrard claims to be as fit as he has been in ages. Lucas who had a blinder of a seaon. Spearing who has proved himself in the second half of this season. Shelvey, who probably will be wanting more first team football. So again, no sense in it whatsoever.

Also, get your head out the clouds; Aguero will NOT be joining.

N'Zogbia. Another overrated player. Average player stands out of a poor squad. Same for James McCarthy.

SayNoToCharlieAdam {Ed001's Note - the reason why Charlie Adam was signed for 500k is because there is a large sell on clause in the contract. Rangers knew there was a very good chance his value would be enhanced.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 19:02:26
By the way from the person that accused me of being a gooner...They are about to sign Gervinho (an african Suarez but much much chraper), Benzema, Sakho or Cahill, and Aly Sissokho. They are also trying to persuade M'villa to join but PSG have offered him a massive extention to his contract due to new wealthy owners. So my friend even if Arsenal sign 3 out of 5 of these players I would fear them. Take your blinkers off constructive criticism of LFC is valid. Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and spam are gonna buy big and with the lack of resources and allure compareably to the others we wont finish top 4. This is not a criticism of KK but merely highlighting the reality. Champions league is not forthcoming anytime soon. We have to build foundations and infastructure rafa sowed the seeds with the academy and now hopefully kk and dc will progress the project by buying well with the resources they have. But you have to question his judgement when he pays £55 million for Caroll and Henderson and for the same price whiskynose gets De Gea, Jones and Young?? If someone agress with me say yay....JARI_L
==================================
yay yay .. I said it back in February that paying a good 10m too much for Carroll may come back to bite us and I think it did with Henderson, English clubs will now ask for way too much when dealing with us hoping and half knowing we will pay .. We need to abandon this buy English/British policy we dont need to, we have more than enough to satisfy the home grown rule , we should be buying capable good value for money players from anywhere and develop the young English players we have within our academy..
By the way look out for the name Erick Torres mexican, I would expect him to be the next Hernandez...

Who is this guy on Talksport? Saying that Wickham will be the long term replacement for Suarez, who will go back to Spain in two years. The media really do have it in for Liverpool don't they?

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:57:33
Okay so all this Aguero stuff is bull.
The only way I see him Signing for us is:
If Madrid wont buy him
Barca don't have the money
Chelsea already buy Neymar or Lukaku
United spend to much already
& if City just don't want him.
The chances of us getting him is slim but it would be great.

Ed chances out of ten of these players

N'zogbia - 5
Adam - 7
Downing- 7
Mata - 6
Sakho - 2
Clichy - 8
Bojan -0
Diego - 0
Parker - 0
Wickham - 9


Here you go fella, hope that helps!

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:55:19
In 1987 kk signed john barnes much to peoples surprize!! Shortly after he signed peter beardsley, john aldridge and then ian rush!! this became the best attacking line in liverpools history!! KK knows how to spot a good player so i think everyone should trust him to put us back on our perch. I think henderson will prove to be a very good addition to the team. Hopefully we will sign mata and a couple of others and i think top four would be realistic!! In kk we trust

Big, big news is going to break in the coming weeks guys!

I have been tipped off by a colleague (I work within the media) that Liverpool are about to send shockwaves around the Premiership, with a double swoop of the highest quality.

On 1st July they are, as expected going to announce Juan Mata's signing for circa $23m. But unbelievably this figure will be eclipsed immediately with the unveiling of Edinson Cavani from Napoli for a staggering $38m-$40m!

I realise this is a mind-blowing revelation, and to be honest I would never have believed it to be possible. But, my colleague is a highly respected UK journalist, and although he has no direct links with the Liverpool heirachy, he does deal with people in high places at a couple of London clubs, and insists the deals have got a few feathers ruffled at said clubs.

I am 100% certain my colleague wouldn't claim to know something, if he hadn't got some info from a trusted source.

40 million dollars is equal to 23 million pounds and 23 million dollars is equal to 14 million pounds i doubt we would be able to sign those players for such a little amount of money. you should check the exchange rate before you make up lies

Don't talk s**te, besides Palermo still own Cavani and Napoli themselves can't sign him yet.

Who do people prefer Agger or Skrtel. My preference is Agger

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:46:00
Kk will buy who he feels will move us onto the next level.
The money side of things is irrelevant , kk wouldn't have got Jordan for that amount if he didn't feel the board where going to back him for his other targets.
If ngog goes to sunderland for say 5or 6 mil then its only cost 10mil for Jordan.

Liverpool set up meeting with Mata representitives
yeah nice one even though we vant sign him until the 1st july

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:36:20
Why do we want Adam we have got amazing centre mids with Aqua coming back. expect kk and dc sign


- Aly Cissokho ( Lyon ) 13million LFC fan
- Charles Nzogbia ( Wigan ) 9million
- Stewart Downing ( Villa ) 14million ( Class Crosser )
- Scott Dann ( Birmingham ) 7million ( Scouser )
- Jeffern Suarez ( Barca ) 15million ( Looks Keen on a move )
- Connor Wickham ( Ipswich ) 10million ( Chopra signed they are ready to sell him )

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:30:54
Can everyone stop with the bull....Charlie Adam is a defo, same as Stewart Downing as we are the only club seriously looking to buy them....regarding Connor Wickham I think he would prefer to go somewhere wer he will get first team play....however the lure of working with the King and Stevie might just persuade him...Regarding Mata I'm sure Liverpool are looking at him, but we have to understand that other teams who are playing in the Champions League will also be going for him and therefore it will be whether or not he regards First Team football as a priority...Just my opinion, which i think is very realistic....plz post bcos it might stop some people writing sh*t on here....awesome site eds

11 Jun 2011 18:28:14
Adam having a medical at Manutd? Yeah ok. After a family holiday, a 7 hour flight and jet lag he's off for a medical. Why cant anyone wait till 31st August??!

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:28:05
Ed, Have to say i cannot understand why liverpool would want to buy Charlie Adam.Ok he had a good season but Blackpool played everygame as if they had nothing to lose.How would he cope in game's where he is given a certain job to do which will be Kenny's way.I do not thing he will handle this he only know's one way that's kamakasi football.Remember him for Scotland against Brazil the game passed him by.I would appreciate your opinion on this ed !! rd {Ed001's Note - Kenny knows how he wants him to play, I am sure he wouldn't be interested if he didn't think he could get what he wanted from him.}

not saying we're going to but would be funny if we did sign aguero, people saying how it would never happen and that we're not big enough anymore! Whats going on lads!

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:10:04
United team that just won the title:

Vandersar
Rafael-Ferdinand-Vidic-Evra
Carrick-Fletcher-Giggs-Nani
Rooney-Hernandez

Players signed from abroad = 5

Our team:

Reina
Kelly-Carra-Skrtel-Johnson
Gerrard-Lucas-Meireles
Kuyt-Carroll-Suarez

Players signed from abroad = 6

Will people stop rattling on about how we need more players from abroad because players in England aren't good enough. I'm sick of hearing it

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:09:50
It's funny whenever the paper come out with a new name people start claiming to know all about it 'done deal' and 'he will sign', where was all this info a few days before?

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:08:08
Afternoon all one thing I must say to everyone forget all this Transfer talk things will happen when they happen, the thing that annoys me is the fact that king kenny did not get a knighthood, for all the work he has put in for the family's involved in the hillsborough disaster he should be knighted from Dan H

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:08:08
Wondering how Kenny will use Henderson, as a CM or an attacking Right-Midfielder, sure not as a RW ?

With the signing of Adam we have 5 midfielders (Raul, Stevie, Lucas, Adam, Henderson----Spearo & jonjo after them) who will challenger for the CM spot! unfortunately only two or three will be taken for every match, unless some of them plays out of position or stays on the bench. Stevie & Lucas definite starters. Adam can play as a Left Midfielder which will be a crazy idea though! (never worked, raul failed, Stevie failed for English national team)....but think playing Henderson as a right midfielder might work, he is not that pacy but just enough & can improve, can deliver good crosses to the box , very useful for Carrol.

Ed, any idea how Kenny might use Henderson & how we might play next season- 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 ? {Ed001's Note - I think he will play wide rather than central most of the time.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 18:07:19
Do Man utd have to sell before the buy
Moved quickly to complete the Young/jones medicals and terms but no signatures.

Is taggart moving for targets without
permission from the glaziers and the banks.I sense the may be trouble ahead.

Seen Jamie Carragher in Orlando airport 10th June (Friday) he was with his wife an 2 kids, flying into gatwick. I had my Justice for 96 top on an ended up chatting to him...nothing about the transfers or that really, but did ask him if he had a choice of any player to come (within reason) who would it be....his answer Xabi Alonso...gotta say i agree!! Also seemed a nice fella too.....

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 17:32:53
Do u know if dc or kk will be going to the under 21s championships and who will they be looking at excluding mata? Thanks

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 17:31:25
according to "givemefootball" arsenal have made an enquiry for hazard. Liverpool should do the same. If Lille will sell, who do you think hazard will go to?

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 17:31:02
Okay so all this Aguero stuff is bull.
The only way I see him Signing for us is:
If Madrid wont buy him
Barca don't have the money
Chelsea already buy Neymar or Lukaku
United spend to much already
& if City just don't want him.
The chances of us getting him is slim but it would be great.

Ed chances out of ten of these players

N'zogbia
Adam
Downing
Mata
Sakho
Clichy
Bojan
Diego
Parker
Wickham


THANKS!

LfcKid {Ed001's Note - Diego? Parker? Why are they in there? Sorry I don't do the out of ten thing, it is a bit pointless in my opinion assigning a random number.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 17:28:50
It saddens me that 80% of fans on here are hell bent on Aguero's and the likes.
Hendo, Downing, Adam and so forth will improve our squad greatly! In the next two years we have the ground to make up, we have some youth coming through that will set the league alight. (Just ask Pep G)
We are at the beginning of a huge change, so rather sit on your pc asking for targets which are just unrealistic, just be patient and watch us improve, top 4 next season will be a massive step in the right direction, then we may be able to get the one or two world class players to come into a hugely improved squad!
A guy that used to give me very solid info has recently admitted that he has no idea what is going on, only last summer was he telling me this and that, but now admits he is clutching at straws.
All he knows is we are going in the right direction under the new era of ownership and management!
Patients people we will be playing some very stylish football which we have missed for so long, the results will also follow. Next year top 4!

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 17:28:15
KK targets Henderson agrees fee with Sunderland, talks to player agrees deal bang done and dusted in the blink of an eye.

SAF panics into buying Jones, arranges medical, announces signing to the world but forgets to agree fee with Blackburn drags on over days and still not completed.

But does the UK press report it like this? You tell me.

There's none so blind as those that will not see.

In Kenny I Trust....

The King Will Always Do The Best For LFC...

Therefore I Trust His Judgement On The Transfers!

Sure, I would like to see Messi, Aguero, Ronaldo, Xavi Hernadez, Iniesta, Masc .... Maradona&Pele. WAKE UP!

You have seen them there either currently Playing or retired!!

Mata to sign IMO

G-Mac



I didn't know Graeme McDowell was a Liverpool fan?

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 17:05:47
I would love to see Adam play for the Reds better than all our other midfielders excluding Gerrard. last season when we played Blackpool Adam ran both those games and totally played Meireles off the park. he scored more goals made more assists and made more tackles while playing for a lesser team plus he is British and would know what it means to play for Liverpool more than any foreigner. we bought Meireles for £11.5m if we get Adam for under £10m that is value in my opinion keep up the good work King Kenny.
Beefos.

To you fans moaning about us "wasting money on average players such as henderson and carrol". Sure we overpaid a bit, but at least we are spending money and under the king they will be great players im sure of it. And if that isnt enough, remember that the mancs are wasting their money paying for rooney's hair transplants...
Red bl00ded!

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 16:53:59
these are the players we should be looking to sign
Mata- we need to go all out for
Hummels- now that phil jones looks on his way to manure this is the ideal target
Aly Cissokho (spelling)- great left back attacking and defending
Banega - only if merieles does leave then we should go for him
I mean these are all young great talents and should definitley be on kk and dc's minds hopefully we could sign them and not just all overpriced english players like downing also im made up young is not coming overrated goes missing in big games dont feel we need adam neither but some young players like Wickham should fill the english boots up (please post on rumours)

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 16:50:25
Marveaux will be a starter if he stays fit. The people who are saying he's only a squad player are going to get a pleasant surprise!

'By the way from the person that accused me of being a gooner...They are about to sign Gervinho (an african Suarez but much much chraper)...... So my friend even if Arsenal sign 3 out of 5 of these players I would fear them........ This is not a criticism of KK but merely highlighting the reality. Champions league is not forthcoming anytime soon.... If someone agress with me say yay....JARI_L'

Jari L -The only person I fear is you. You are
1. Absolutley bonkers
2. a Gooner

I know the Arsenal site got a lot of sh*te from us yesterday, mainly because our site was down. Sorry. But remember this, we've had pure sh*te from you lot - the most satisfied fans of all - last year when it looked like we might even go out of business. Don't expect sympathy whilst your sqaud heads out the door because you blew your chance last year. What goes around comes around. Enjoy Channel 5 the season after next, you silly little cockney.

"yes WOULD BE ON THE SEVENTH heaven if we get him.......... MATA....WICKHAM....CLICHY.... SCOTT DANN.....JEFFREN..AND HENDERSON(Done)......... SUPER 6 ...........total under 70m.........FRONT 4 OF .........CARROL, SUAREZ, MATA, JEFFREN, GERRARD, HENDERSON (meireles, lucas, wickham, kuyt, spearing...)

Maybe Raul gone an Adam in

11 Jun 2011 16:43:37
Why all the speculation, and people saying we've missed out on [name here] etc etc? We don't know Kenny's targets so why not wait and see rather than persistantly whinging that we have 'missed out'. There has been little movement in the summer so far, in fact we are one of the few to make a signing, so to all those who keep saying they are disappointed:
WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT, HAVE SOME FAITH IN LFC AND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO ACHEIVE!!!

11 Jun 2011 16:32:16
By the way from the person that accused me of being a gooner...They are about to sign Gervinho (an african Suarez but much much chraper), Benzema, Sakho or Cahill, and Aly Sissokho. They are also trying to persuade M'villa to join but PSG have offered him a massive extention to his contract due to new wealthy owners. So my friend even if Arsenal sign 3 out of 5 of these players I would fear them. Take your blinkers off constructive criticism of LFC is valid. Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and spam are gonna buy big and with the lack of resources and allure compareably to the others we wont finish top 4. This is not a criticism of KK but merely highlighting the reality. Champions league is not forthcoming anytime soon. We have to build foundations and infastructure rafa sowed the seeds with the academy and now hopefully kk and dc will progress the project by buying well with the resources they have. But you have to question his judgement when he pays £55 million for Caroll and Henderson and for the same price whiskynose gets De Gea, Jones and Young?? If someone agress with me say yay....JARI_L


No, you've just emphasised that you're an arsenal fan, and talking bollocks as well.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 16:21:05

I know everybody is underwhelmed by KK'S transfer targets. I have it on good authourity we made enquiries for Sanchez, M'villa, Sakho, Gervinho, Javi Martinez (got hendo instead) Hazard, Sissoko etc but we just dont have the lure we once had. Guys I admit I was wrong about the Javi Martinez deal he was a certainty but he changed his mind so we signed Hendo) Ive been telling you for weeks Downing is a done deal (clubs are haggling over price) dont expect Marquee players just over-priced British mediocrity. Adam, Wickham, Dann and Marveaux. Mata wont be coming anywhere near Anfield there will be a bidding war from him expect him to go to City especially if scum or Barca get Sanchez. Im worried about the silence of Chelsea, City, Arsenal etc we are filling our boots buying all these overpriced British garbage and the rest will buy value for money excellent foreigners...and well suffer because the players well buy are just not good enough! Who would you rather have Scott Dann or Sakho? M'villa or Charlie Adam? Gervinho or Wickham? Mata or Downing? All my info comes from a football agent who gives me up to date snippets but football transfers are fickle and collapse at any stage for any reason. i.e Martinez. My friend says that Arsene Wenger is like a man possessed and he is on the verge of signing some world class beauties which will make them strong next season and he also has some contacts in Spain who tell him that Mata is a top priority, his father/agent is impressed with our project/vision but Mata prefers other suitors and also which is more pertinent Pepe may not stay after all because he expected Mata and Martinez to be at Anfield this season and he'll get Downing/Nzogbia...Watch this space...

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

My problem with this is not that I necessarily think that you're winding anyone up (as everything you said is certainly possible), but that your very first statement more or less rendered the rest of your post pointless complaining. We very simply can't sign those "excellent foreigners" and "world class beauties" because at the moment we can't compete with the likes of Man U, Chelsea, Barca, etc. And we won't until we get back into the CL. What do you expect us to do, hypnotize Sanchez and Sakho into coming here? Threaten to kill Hazard's dog if he doesn't sign for us? We get who we CAN get, and if they're young and English, that's fine with me.

By the way, I really hope you're wrong about Mata. And if Pepe seriously wants to leave this summer (vefore he sees how our signings turn out) because we didn't sign the specific players HE wanted, then he can suck a lemon.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 16:19:32
I want Cavani next to Carroll, Suarez in a front three next season playing 4-3-3 in attack but 4-5-1 in defence with Hamsik, Gerro, Hendo possible as skrtel can talk to Hamsik and get Cissouko for left back with Sakho next to him. YNWA

In response to the post
11 Jun 2011 12:51:40

I couldnt be bothered copying and pasting it,
because i dont believe its from a genuine Kopite
its full of so much negativity concerning transfers
and transfer targets, according to the post we
signed Henderson or (Hendo as the poster calls him)
because Javi Martinez changed his mind about signing
for us, also the post states the club doesn't have the
lure anymore. That didn't stop suarez from signing in
January when lets be honest the thought we could
finnish 6th (an improvement on the previous season)
would have raised a few eyebrows. I trust Kenny to
get most of the players HE wants in the summer,
he wont build a team of superstars with big names just
to sell a few shirts. And why is it when Liverpool sign an English player that player suddenly becomes useless
and over priced, (especially by the mancs chelsea arsenal and spurs fans) but according to the mancs
the money they have spent on Jones and young is good business, meanwhile go to the spurs pages and
most of them have Crouch valued at 8 to 12 million
someone is telling lies
(ED) I'm sorry about it being a bit long winded but i
just got a bit pi**ed of with the original post

Just want to point out, Mata is 23 so judgments from him in the Under 21s are likely to be slightly warped cos he's playing against younger players...Henderson is nearly 21 so is the average age and Wickham is the youngest player in the tournament at 18. So bear this in mind when you're watching it

it is certain daglish wants british players as he did during his time at blackburn when he won the tittle.

Possiable liverpool ins:

charlie adams

I know everybody is underwhelmed by KK'S transfer targets. I have it on good authourity we made enquiries for Sanchez, M'villa, Sakho, Gervinho, Javi Martinez (got hendo instead) Hazard, Sissoko etc but we just dont have the lure we once had. Guys I admit I was wrong about the Javi Martinez deal he was a certainty but he changed his mind so we signed Hendo) Ive been telling you for weeks Downing is a done deal (clubs are haggling over price) dont expect Marquee players just over-priced British mediocrity. Adam, Wickham, Dann and Marveaux. Mata wont be coming anywhere near Anfield there will be a bidding war from him expect him to go to City especially if scum or Barca get Sanchez. Im worried about the silence of Chelsea, City, Arsenal etc we are filling our boots buying all these overpriced British garbage and the rest will buy value for money excellent foreigners...and well suffer because the players well buy are just not good enough! Who would you rather have Scott Dann or Sakho? M'villa or Charlie Adam? Gervinho or Wickham? Mata or Downing? All my info comes from a football agent who gives me up to date snippets but football transfers are fickle and collapse at any stage for any reason. i.e Martinez. My friend says that Arsene Wenger is like a man possessed and he is on the verge of signing some world class beauties which will make them strong next season and he also has some contacts in Spain who tell him that Mata is a top priority, his father/agent is impressed with our project/vision but Mata prefers other suitors and also which is more pertinent Pepe may not stay after all because he expected Mata and Martinez to be at Anfield this season and he'll get Downing/Nzogbia...Watch this space...

Yes I know you guys may think the above is all based on supposition and inference but its to my knowledge its true. If you cretins want to look through rose tinted glasses and have a jingoistic support of KK and DC's shortcomings then so be it. You talk about blending British players into the team but you can only blend if you have quality to begin with. Apart from the world class Pepe, Gerrard, and Suarez who else have we got? Ive been an LFC fan for over 40 years and we used to blend one or two british talents into a world class 11 every season i.e Rush, Dalglish, Beglin, etc not 5 or 6 in a team of dross. You may not like my opinions but please dont be rude or disrespectful as im being constructive and unlike most of you guys not personal (which shows your level of intellect) Eds what are your opinions on this debate? And for the person who attacked me for being a coward and not leaving a name..I am: Jari_L I work in sports Marketing/PR and was a sports journalist and have had a season ticket at Anfield for 20 years. Im a close proffesional friend of John Barnes I work with him on his Mars dealings and icidentally is clueless to anything that happens at Anfield..lol) and my biggest crime is I care about LFC and want them to succeed. So by me telling it how it is causes chagrin amongst you sensitive soles then im sorry but thats tough love we all want a common goal success for LFC. I will stand by everything I say and so in future will sign my posts. Eds when my predictions come through in the next few weeks is it possible to source my unsigned messages so I can shut the haters up and be vindicated? By the way Charlie Adam has had an offer from Spurs, LFC and one more club and is taking time to way up the options. He feels he wont get much game time at Anfield hence his reluctance to sign. Also enquiry was made about an Aquilani/Cavani swap but Napoli want too much money plus Aqualani, so we have asked for Aqualani/Levezzi swap instead..Better chances of this happening. Personally I prefer Levezzi can be utilised in more positions. JARI_L {Ed001's Note - I think that I have far more faith in Kenny Dalglish's opinions of our signings than yours, sorry. If he says they are the right players, then that is good enough for me.}

Hey ed or anyone is there any players that havent been mentioned on here that where interest in thanks adamynwa {Ed001's Note - are there any players in the world that haven't been mentioned? We have even had dross like SWP suggested!}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:59:58
Transfers I wanna see Ed is the following I think we could aquire these players no problem.

G. Clichy Arsenal 5 million and a bargaing at this price. The reds will work on his weakness and he knows the league and still young. J. Robinson is our cover left back sorted and only 5-6 million spent.

A. Turan Gala 10-12 million. Massive Liverpool fan highly skilful player and Kenny loves him, amazed this hasn't been sorted already, his move to Spain seems to be stalling also. Ready made for the wing in premiership.

K. Honda CSKA 10-14 million. Now states he would like to leave Moscow another very skilful player like Turan and can play a number of positions. We have shown interest in January but god knows what happened. Still a good addition to the squad at a good price.

J. Mata Valencia 20-22 million. we are interested and I'm sure he's considering all options open to him. Plays numerous positions also and would fit perfectly with our pass and move football. Valencia need to sell so let's hope he picks football over City erm I mean money.
Luckily money apparently doesn't drive Mata and football does.

S. Dann Birmingham 10 million. He's a Liverpool fan, his team have been relegated and he's English ( even better scouse ). I know everyone prefers Sahko but the club is probably think of the quota for homegrown as Carragher isnt getting younger.

C. Wick ham Ipswich 10 million. Looks very likely we will sign this kid. Haven't really seen that much of him but I trust the club will have. Plus we are not the only team interested. Would prefer Aguero but it's highly unlikely (even though hes supposedly a Liverpool fan) that Sergio will come here at this point in time. Although I would if I was him and I guess many other fans would too.

S. Marvueax Rennes Free. Plays a number of positions is not costing a penny and is still young. It's worth the gamble of signing him and if he doesn't cut the league can be moved on in coming seasons. Purely bought for the squad and to make an impact from the bench. He's still only young as well and can adapt under K.K.

E. Banega Valencia 10.5 million. Classy centre mid who has a vast range of passing and can tackle in the centre. Would have no problems adjusting to the prem. His agent claims he wants to know if he's wanted by Valencia and could leave for the above sum.
Still young and has bags of talent a must for us to sign in my opinion, and is far better than friggin Charlie Adam(possibly for same price too).

If we were to buy any other player i would want it be one of the below three.

D. Santon Inter 10 million young full back with bags of talent can play either flank and would be an excellent signing.

S. Canales R. Madrid midfielder who can virtually anywhere doesn't feel wanted at Madrid and has lost his place in this years U21 squad due to lack of games. Could be acquired for 10-15 million.

S. Defour Liege 12 million. Classy centre mid with a good range of passing and technically gifted midfielder. Recently signed extension to contract after move to Benfica collapsed. Still only young also.

Ed I feel all the above would be viable transfers do you have anything further on us showing any progress on these? I'm aware of the Wickham enquiries but what about the rest?

These acquisitions would be excellent business for our club. {Ed001's Note - we are in talks with Arsenal and at least two other clubs, not counting the ongoing situation with Valencia in our attempts to get Mata. I don't know any more than that, but I do expect us to try and get out signings wrapped up pretty soon so that everyone can start pre-season training at the same time.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 15:14:19
why would liverpool consider adam we got :
GERRARD
MEIRELES
HENDERSON
LUCAS
SPEARING
SHELVEY

all CM, i think the wings and LB are the problematic positions :)

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 15:07:37
Henderson in, thats means no more James mcCarthey or Scott Parker, even though McCarthey would of been alot cheaper than Hendo and is just as good. Can someone tell me how on earth we are gonna play all these midfielders, Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson, Meireles, Kuyt, Spearing, Adam, N, Zogbia, Downing, and Marveaux and keep them all happy.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:57:58
re: 12:51:40 , you are a complete plank !! "you have it on good authority! ? , no you don't so why lie ? you, like the rest of us have no idea who we are after, so let's just wait and see. as for lfc not being a draw, utter garbage. does it occur to you we may be signing british guys just now due to the fact the other window does not open until 1st july. you are a 1st class plonker. i think we will sign a centre half, left back, 1 or 2 wingers and maybe another striker. who they will be i have no idea but i'll be sure to keep you in mind as you have "good authority" !!!

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:56:53
hearing a lot of elia from hamburg who said liverpool are the biggest club in england and that he is a big fan as i said i just heard

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:55:06
not one mention anywhere but if we want a fast tricky right winger who is an international with something big to prove and is english, and will only cost max 5m why dont we take a risk with shaun wright phillips. still young enough to do a job for a couple of years, once we r back in champs league go for a better player, could be the bargain of the century.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:49:35
Wish people will stop goin on about Aguero. We are not gonna pay a fortune for a striker. It will be Suarez + 1, as in most likely Carroll. Haven, t spent £35m on him to sit on the bench, we can, t afford that we, re not Man city. We, ll get Wickham, who, s young with potential, and won, t moan if hes on the bench and Kuyt will be a back up after the goals he scored last season in Carrolls absence. With all the midfielders we, ve got and supposedly comin in, Kuyt will be used as a striker, may even push Carroll for his place.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:42:54
i think signing players from the italian leagues is a big risk the game is played at a slow pace over there and i dont think that most of the players are good enough for the prem and liverpool

Ed, are you amazed that people fall for this kind of thing on here? - this fella has obviously taken time to write this - and it isn't even very good! {Ed001's Note - I am used to people believing nonsense, isn't that why the S*n is still bought in huge numbers?}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:33:34
There seems to be a lot of people posting on here that Meireles may be on his may out to make room for different center-mids. I'm hoping that doesn't happen because I think Raul is a top quality player who always puts a good shift in and wears the shirt with pride. He was the voted player's player for this season I seem to recall. I don't see why we would get rid of him.

I'm hoping there is no truth to these rumours. What do you think Ed? Have you heard anything about him leaving? Or do you think it's likely?

Tom. {Ed001's Note - I haven't heard anything solid about him leaving at all.}

Liverpool to start next season with a six point deduction.Manc H.webb to ref both
liverpool v man utd league games.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:25:19
Is SSN biased. Liverpool wasn't even considered in the goal of the year poll. Meireles, Suarez to Kuyt vs Manure or Andy Carroll's left foot volley or his header against City

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:17:23
since we've signed Henderson and everyone saying were going to get Adam, will we be selling any of our centre mids then?

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:14:27
dont think alonso will be coming back this transfer window and i dont think 5m plus meirles will be enough for him

We've been spending money on foriegn players for years to little avail. With the home grown player rulings it makes sense to be spending on players from a little closer to home, and that's saying nothing about the premiership experience these players have (and avoiding the teething problem that come from a player learning a new laguage and gelling into the team at the start). I'd be perfectly happy with whatever transfer targets KK sees fit and so should everyone else. Stop passing judgement before we've given any of these lads a chance.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 14:09:36
agureo wont be coming to liverpool i dont think, we have already got strikers and i think kk will be looking for a CB, LM/RM, LB/RB i think he will go after

enrique
warnock
baines
downing
mata

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:58:27
modric to join liverpool for 15m + meiriles.

Why would you want him ? Did you see his goalscoring and assist rates last year ??

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:55:19
'I know everybody is underwhelmed by KK'S transfer targets'

Talk for yourself mate - I'd be happy with a new winger and then start the season.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:53:59
Just been on the Chelsea sightings and dodgy sightings and they seem to hate Torres.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:47:35
I apologize if this sounds racist but its my honest opinion. I only want british players for central positions. They are explosive from central positions. But we need creativity, trickery & pace in our squad. Let's get some tricky & pacy south americans, africans or spaniards

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:46:43
Why is everyone saying we are getting adam? Does henderson not play center midfield!!! What sort of formation we gonna use???

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:46:21
I'd just like to point something out to the people who say we are settling for second-rate players. If we get Dann, Adam, Downing and Wickham (the hated British quartet for many myopic fools on here) our team next season will be something like this:

Reina
Kelly--Carra--Agger--Johnson
Gerrard--Lucas--Meireles
Suarez--Carroll--Downing

Subs: Jones, Dann, Skrtel, Adam, Henderson, Kuyt, Wickham

Any one of those outfield subs could go straight into that team and play well - in what way is that not a considerable improvement on last season? Imagine we're missing Gerrard, Suarez, Meireles, Lucas and Carroll - we could still play:

Henderson--Spearing--Adam--Downing
Kuyt--Wickham

That's a midfield and attack with goals in it, unlike previous seasons where we've been reliant on Torres and Gerrard.

We have quality youth (Spearing, Shelvey, Wilson, Pacheco, Robinson, Flanagan, Sterling), we have squad players in Maxi, Aurelio, Cole, Jovanovic, Aquilani etc., and if we supplement those signings with a left-back and a back-up keeper we'll have an excellent squad compared to last season's.

So leave Kenny and Comolli to do their business. Henderson is a fantastic signing, and Adam, Wickham, Dann and Downing would all improve our team. Rant over. IKWT

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:46:03
Hi Ed can i just remind everyone that Juan Mata is playing for Spain U21's in the European championship this weekend and next week so everyone saying that a deal is going to be done this week is wrong. Anyway Spain are playing England this week and we can see what Mata's like aswell as watching Henderson :) (BTW Ed what is our interest in Mata as im an admirer and what other wingers are we interested in, In my opinion we need atleast two wingers, one left back, maybe a centre back, and maybe a back up striker) Cheers, Carl. {Ed001's Note - we would like Mata and he is interested in the move, but Valencia are not ready to sell yet.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:45:27
To the guy saying we've missed all of our targets and Reina will leave as a result... You are clearly not a Liverpool fan and you're deliberately trying to annoy people on this site. You cannot possibly know about all the things you are saying. You will most likely be proved wrong in the coming months.

11 Jun 2011 13:43:05
This time last year we didn't even know if we would still have a club to support let alone what players we were going to sign. Get behind you team people, this is the brightest our future has been for years. Of course we can't offer CL football but as Kenny so rightly points out, we want players that WANT to play for LFC. What better test of that character than to come to us now and help us get back to the top table? If players only want CL then I question their commitment and desire to pull on the shirt straight away. Kenny will sign hungry, young players who will leave everything on the pitch for him. Two words for the moaners...Hicks and Gillett. Be careful what you wish for fellow Redmen. Peace. Red77

About 1hour ago, i was walking through Liverpools city centre, and i thought i saw Sergio Agureo, but i thought no it could'nt be. As i moved closer towards this man i noticed it was him and by my surprise he looked at me and smiled, i walked over to talk to him and i said "hello are you sergio aguero" and he said "yeh larrrrr" and i thought why is he talking like that so i asked him he said he wanted to learn how to speak the scouse accent. Then as anyone would i asked why, hoping he would say i'm signing for liverpool, but he then got closer to my face and whispered gently in my ear "i cant tell you its a secret" and then gave me a wink. I was so excited and i had to do something to calm me down, so i ran into greggs and got a sausage roll, it was delicious. As i can back out he was gone. So there you have it, Sergio Aguero is a possible transfer.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:37:29
Not sure if Marveaux is a defensive midfielder or a holding mid but more like left wing, right wing or attacking mid. Is that true ed? {Ed001's Note - I believe he is an attacking midfielder, mostly left sided, though he has played as a left wing back.}

Look its great wanting the likes of Sakho, Sanchez Gervinho etc etc. KK and DC are trying to blend prem experience with talent . I still think Mata will come and another couple of foreign players we will also go for Prem league experienced players. Its about blending a team instead of buy him buy him and him and the realising you are in a position like City , they dont play well together. I trust in KK and are not concerned at all about who we buy as I believe it will give us strength all over the pitch instead of just odd position's KEEP THE FAITH , KEEP THE FAITH

I know everybody is underwhelmed by KK'S transfer targets. I have it on good authourity we made enquiries for Sanchez, M'villa, Sakho, Gervinho, Javi Martinez (got hendo instead) Hazard, Sissoko etc but we just dont have the lure we once had. Guys I admit I was wrong about the Javi Martinez deal he was a certainty but he changed his mind so we signed Hendo) Ive been telling you for weeks Downing is a done deal (clubs are haggling over price) dont expect Marquee players just over-priced British mediocrity. Adam, Wickham, Dann and Marveaux. Mata wont be coming anywhere near Anfield there will be a bidding war from him expect him to go to City especially if scum or Barca get Sanchez. Im worried about the silence of Chelsea, City, Arsenal etc we are filling our boots buying all these overpriced British garbage and the rest will buy value for money excellent foreigners...and well suffer because the players well buy are just not good enough! Who would you rather have Scott Dann or Sakho? M'villa or Charlie Adam? Gervinho or Wickham? Mata or Downing? All my info comes from a football agent who gives me up to date snippets but football transfers are fickle and collapse at any stage for any reason. i.e Martinez. My friend says that Arsene Wenger is like a man possessed and he is on the verge of signing some world class beauties which will make them strong next season and he also has some contacts in Spain who tell him that Mata is a top priority, his father/agent is impressed with our project/vision but Mata prefers other suitors and also which is more pertinent Pepe may not stay after all because he expected Mata and Martinez to be at Anfield this season and he'll get Downing/Nzogbia...Watch this space...

What a load of utter un-signed garbage. How did u type this with that strait jacket on? Keep taking the medication amte

Japanese midfielder Keisuke Honda has alerted Liverpool - and Arsenal - after declaring he's "stuck in a rut" at current club CSKA Moscow.

Comes from the metro but let's hope it's true, any thoughts ed? {Ed001's Note - he wanted to leave in January but Japan's progression in the Asian Nations scuppered any move from happening.}

Been looking at Juan Vargas on youtube and such like - is it my understanding that he can also play left midfield? He'd be a good signing as a winger but I wouldn't trust him as full back against the bigger teams, he's just too attacking. If we sign him I'd be playing Kelly and Johnson at full-back against the bigger teams. And I believe Downing is a better crosser and Clichy a better full back tbh so I don't want us to sign him at the expense of a winger and a full-back

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:23:58
If liverpool can make a huge bid for henderson... Why did they cannot do the same price to vargas?? IS IT RIGHT?? When i see his goal at youtube, he is fantastic player and even though the most goal is come from free kicks, , , THE LONDONER FROM KEVIN

I just talked with a cousin of mine that lives close to Naples (A Napoli fan) and he says there's a lot of talk in last two days of Cavani leaving them and Aquilani coming. Who knows, maybe we made a deal wtih Napoli!?

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

Would love this to happen but Napoli value Cavani at something like £100M which is rediculous. I would also rather have Lavezzi

When arguero was younger rafa had him on trial at the club but felt he was not strong enough for the premier league i cant remember were i read or hear this but its ment to be true do you know bout this ed? Des {Ed001's Note - not heard about a trial, we did have interest in him though, but Parry pulled out of a deal because it was 'too much of a risk' paying a couple of a million for a teenager.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:19:12
do you expect meireles to leave because we signed henderson and could potentially sign adam as well. with gerrard, lucas, spearing, adam, henderson and shelvey it s gonna leave some players unhappy. hes been linked with villareal as well as being a reported target for inter

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:18:39
Who would you rather have Scott Dann or Sakho? M'villa or Charlie Adam? Gervinho or Wickham? Mata or Downing?

============================

Scott Dann or Sakho? That's tough, one's younger but the other's a Liverpool fan. I'm guessing on paper Carragher would look like a worse player than Sakho but you don't know til they play and Carra's heart makes up for his lack of pace. As a replacement for Carra - Dann. If we're not looking to replace him yet then Sakho.

M'Vila or Adam? Simple one this - Adam. Better set-pieces, better long ball, M'Vila's too similar to Meireles and Henderson.

Gervinho or Wickham? - Wickham, he's younger and we have players to create goals in Gerrard, Meireles, Henderson, Johnson, Suarez, etc.

Downing or Mata? - Hmmm, well Downing's proven in this league but Mata's younger. I'd go for Downing on balance, because he's a better crosser, has been consistently good in this league for about 4 years now and Spanish players often struggle to play well in England.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:17:56
I would play kuyt as the striker & carroll the target man. Kuyt is prolific (at international & domestic level) as a striker & although he runs hard for 90 minutes he's not got the creativity for the wings. Then I would give suarez permission to roam because he is a threat from any position. He attacks from all angles (left, right or centre). You know he is going to either create something or have a go at goal. Add gerrard, mata & henderson. Add a good left back & centre back & we should be good to go.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:17:23
PART 2...Dont believe Commolli's hyperbole about buying prioritising British players from the Premier league thats just his way of deflecting from the fact we cant lure top names. If eveidence was ever needed thatwe were gonna sign Downing you have it today...And for the record I told you guys about Downing weeks ago. Adam to come in a week or so my only fear is were loading the team with midfielders but need another world class striker otherwise we will suffer when injuries inevitably take their toll. Im not impressed with KK and his aquisitions love the guy but Carroll overpriced gamble and henderson the same. Suarez was in the pipeline way before and Downing, Adam and Wickham dont get my juices flowing...Top 4 is gonna be extremely difficult.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:17:07
Charlie adam 110 to join Liverpool expect this deal done by next Thursday . . . 11 million wit add on's rising to 15

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

11mil rising to 15m with add ons for Adam?!. Give me a break!!. Why would we blow all this money on mediocre players?.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:15:18
A Mata a fact - with various potential transfer targets on show, tomorrows U21 clash between England and Spain is shaping up to be an intriguing encounter. My money is on Spain winning with Juan grabbing the headlines and increasing his asking price by £5m.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 13:14:20
Hi Ed's and fellow Red's, I can't wait to see who come's and go's in this window roll on July 1ST when the international window opens but I'm probably even more excited to seeing Suarez playing a full season we only got glimps of him wait until a full prem campaign I think he's gonna blow our minds even more.

id mentioned Cavani also but got told i was way off which i agreed with but wud luv to see him here.

Rumour seems to be gathering pace...id rather hear of class players coming in and not the likes of wickham, adam, henderson etc.

Yes Henderson had decent stats but football is a team game and in my opinion individual stats dont count for nothing. Its wat the team produce.

Adam is not world class, he is great player but this is Liverpool FC who shud b challenging in europe and for the league.

My issue are the prices we are paying for people that are not all that. 35 on Carroll, 20 on Henderson...2 good players but not world class. If Henderson is worth 20m how much would Iniesta/Xavi's tags be.

U see Utd/Arsenal/Chelsea all buying talent that nobodies really heard alot about for cheap prices and a few become stars. We jus seem to be showing llo weve now got money and buying any old tools becos " they fit the mould"

I pray to god we bring in 2/3 world class players, a midfielder, left back and a centre half. Gerrard says he's never felt better so hopefully he lights up the prem next year!

Come on KK n DC...lets hope u get it right

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 12:59:47
Does anyone else share my opinion that we should be praying Agureo goes to City so they keep their beady eye's off Suarez who is by far a better player.I know Liverpool wouldn't sell and he wouldn't leave us but just for peace of mind, or am i being too paranoid ha ha. Johnny Boy6

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 12:44:34
Ken Aguero is definitely signing for Liverpool after intensive contract negotiations with his Agent, KK and Comolli, he has been promised a 36 pack of Walkers a week and a goal bonus of a tube of Pringles for every goal. Andy Carroll is said to be considering his future as the club are not willing to shift from his 4 pack of Newcastle Brown Ales per goal....We'll have a crackin' snack attack next season!

ok all you smart arse supposedly in the know people (including some of the ed's too)

what number will henderson be wearing next season??

simples!!!

surely if you know what mata, higuain, sanchez and king kenny himself are going to do then this is a peice of p**s

kk07 {Ed001's Note - who cares? Let's be honest the only thing that matters is that he has signed for us.}

HA HA HA
i rest my case!!!
ed 001 you should be a politician the way you cant answer a question but make a statement...

nobody knows what is going on..anfield is now water tight and we will only get news when kenny and the owners want to share it with us.

start a rumour mill about which shirt number now eh...my cousins auntys next door neice says....etc
ha ha ha

kk07 {Ed001's Note - are you for real? Because no one but little kids care what number is on the back of a shirt that suddenly means I am not answering a question when I have repeatedly said over and over I don't know? Stop trying to look clever and go elsewhere if you don't like reading speculation. Haven't I been saying repeatedly that I am getting absolutely nothing from Liverpool at all?}

Marveaux was rated as a 'player to watch' by imscouting.com. you can see their video at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4626D84_xTI

Looks a great signing!

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 12:29:21
I see we've been linked with downing, nzogbia and mata but av we been linked with any right footer wingers? Is perrotti a right winger?

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 12:26:56
Hey ed's and fellow reds, this is the first summer as long as i can remember there is a positive vibe from fans, over recent years we had summers of spec that our best players are leaving eg-gerrard alonso marcharano torres and so on, but none of that now we had owners that promised the world in hicks and gillet but only dragged the club and fans through the mud, what im trying to say is im so happy we seem to be going into the summer with our best players commited to the club and came out early and said they were happy here, and now with fsg who have not made any bold promises, just want to do there business quick and quiet which is great they seem to be giving the king a nice transfer budget and at last we can concentrate on real good players coming in instead of years of worry of our best players leave, its so positive right now and i for one cant remember the last time its being like that onwards and upwards the future looks bright with kenny, clarke, comoli and fsg in charge, how do you feel ed am i spot on or im i over positive about things right now cheers, des {Ed001's Note - I totally agree, it is such an exciting time to be a Liverpool fan right now. Best I can remember since I was a kid.}

11 million for Charlie Adam and could be going to 15 million, what a rip off he's in the championship now and he has only got 12 months on his contract, day light robbery right there, he might of only been a 1 season wonder like did anyone else hear about him before Blackpool?? i didnt, and clichy is worth 6 million because of his contract so how is adam worth 12 million. Waste of money

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 12:15:46
{Ed002's Note - I was kidding actually - I never t**t.}

Ed, I think you better add "tweet" to your vocabulary rather than "t**t" May confuse people if you're "t**tting" instead of "tweeting"!! {Ed001's Note - is there a difference?}

To those who are moaning that we bought a centre midfielder and not a winger/left back.....Yes, we have lots of centre midfielders, but break it down.....Gerrard, a hero of mine, has been s**t for 2 seasons and has a big task ahead to proove he's not past it....Shelvey is not ready... Spearing I'm afraid will never be world class but a good squad player....Meireles might be too hard to accomodate in the system, doesnt boss midfield, is getting on a bit and I think should be sold (he wasnt cheap and his stock might never be higher)...Aquilani , its unclear if he'll set foot in the country again, then theres Joe Cole and Poulsen....full stop.SO who's left ? Lucas Leiva. Therfore it was and still is imperative that we invest in players in this crucial area of the pitch. sure they did well in the second half of the season, but the king is aiming at being the best ("at Liverpool , we never accept second best") , not just good.

Augero to... Chelsea - Roman sees him as the embers to re-ignite the fire within the lost soul of his close friend Torres. {Ed001's Note - Chelsea agreed a fee for him already but pulled out of any deal over his ridiculous wage demands. I doubt they will go back for him now.}

hey ed, not a rumour nor question just something i feel it is about.

most people (and some of eds) feel that meireles is too weak, and runs from a battle. but i guess not every player is a combater? if you know what i mean? i mean not every player is succesfull of their combative abilities.

1. I believe that meireles is more of a free-role midfielder, he makes very intelligent runs (at the same time it may be dummy runs) which actually makes defenders go crazy, we have seen this a few times, so you cant say this isnt good.

2. he is light, and he has decent pace, contributing to the intelligent run he makes, and he is also a good passer, long or shot he can do em both.

3. decent finishing. look at his volleys, they are good. after kenny took over we can see in liverpool's attacks meireles is highly involved, running here and there separating defenders. which to me is why the purchase of Adam will not kick this guy out.

4. of course he cant really battle for the battle (if the opponent is bigger) but i'd say thats not really his job, but maybe given time he probably can improve on this side of him?

5. i'd disagree with most people saying if he cant battle, he cant play in epl. i believe if you cant battle, you gotta have something else in you that will outshine your weakness. and i think he is very vital in alot of Liverpool's attacks.

this is my opinion ed, id like you to comment on my opinion here. (Ed001 if possible). and what do other people think? please leave a comment.

Kaizer {Ed001's Note - I fully understand what you are saying, but this is a league where you have to get stuck in when you play in midfield. Even Modric has been throwing himself into slide tackles etc, he is one of the most creative talents in the league. By having a player like Meireles, you need to then have his weakness covered by the strengths of others. So long as we do that, which is why I have been suggesting players like Gary Medel as signings I would make, Meireles is fine.}

Catania have claimed that Liverpool are interested in their Argentine defender Matias Silvestre.

The versatile 26-year-old has been playing for the Serie A club for the past three-and-a-half seasons, having arrived in Italy from Boca Juniors in January 2008.

His performances over the past 12 months have been particularly impressive and Catania general manager Pietro Lo Monaco admitted in April it was probably time for him to move on to a bigger stage.

Lo Monaco has now declared that Liverpool are among the clubs chasing Silvestre's signature, along with Villarreal and a couple of Italian rivals.
From sky sports.

this isn't the same Silvestre that played for arsenal and man u is it? because he sucked

Liverpool will sign 1 big name possibly around 20-25m to persuade pepe reina from leaving.

possibly his spanish mate..maybe juan mata.

trnsfer fund given by FSG is not 50m..but in the region 70-80m not included player sales.

All this talk about aguero we do not need him not at £40 million.We have kuyt to move to a striking role and he will score goals.We need to get wingers, a left back and two centre halfs(sorry folks carragher is too slow and skertal is a liability).If we buy wisely in these positions we will be a force to be reckoned with.Because saurez, kuyt and carroll will score lots of goals.On another note boycott ssn i for one am sick of the all exclusive utd coverage.Plus we have to look at rat face spouting his vile when liverpool beat utd next season. rd

I agree with commoli about going for players with English playing experience buying the best British English players alot of others supporters want signings like auguero mata neymar etc but realistically without CL football these type of players will go were the money is simple as that. Liverpool are under a rebuild and very exciting one to. Over the years we've wasted alot of money on foreign players, diouf, diao, cheyrou, biscan, diomede, vorinin, josemi, jovanovic, Poulson, and many more I no some were free but still with signing on fees and wages wastes money. It's a step by step process next season should be aimed at getting in top for then season after a title challenge were we can attract top foreign players but this season expect players like Adam, n'zogbia, downing, wickham, clichy or Enrique all playing epl football these players might not be agueros matas or pastore type players but will still improve us greatly not sure were u eds want this posted cheers kev

The England midfielder arrived from Sunderland this week in a £20million deal and is the third major signing under Kenny Dalglish's new tenure after the big-money arrivals of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez in January.

Now the Reds' director of football has said there is more to come.

"We wanted to make a signing early. The earlier the better because we can then re-adjust our strategy or decide we aren't going to do any more - which won't be the case now!" Comolli insisted.

"I'm very pleased, because Jordan was one of the big targets we had. When you get your first target it's always a good sign because you think the others will come through as well."

British is best

And Comolli also revealed that British experience is preferable to them over foreign buys.

"If a player is English, or British or has played in the Premier League, we'll

look at that over someone abroad, " confirmed Comolli.#

"We go for a player because he ticks all the boxes. It's what we need at this

time in this window, and we have seen that with Henderson."

Phil Jones proposed move to United looks to be in doubt as Rovers are unhappy with the £16.5 million offered. Being reported in the Express today. Can Liverpool come in with a better offer let's hope so.

I cannot understand why we buy so many central midfielders and not wingers that we really need.we have lucas gerrard spearing henderson meirelles poulsen aquilani and we still want adam!Poulsen will be leaving but aquilani will most probably stay and i believe he deserves a chance because i consider him to be a quality player.Why not get a chance and the 8-10 million for adam to be used for a quality winger?Who do we have on the wings?we are linked with mata honda downing etc but i do not see this matter to be a priority for KK.Ed what's your opinion? {Ed001's Note - we need more quality in central midfield, we are reliant on Gerrard and Meireles, there is a need for more creativity.}

ed - whats the likelyhood of a "marquee" signing ? I have heard a number of rumours about mata, honda and also aguero but realistically who do you think we are likely to sign? (if anyone) The only rumour that keeps popping up everywhere is that we are making a spanish purchase - spanish interntaional or possibly from la liga.

Clichy would be a great signing - cheap and already adapted to premier league football and with that pace would be a great addition. Arshavin wants out at Arsenal, again we could get him on the cheap.

13th Man. {Ed001's Note - I still think there is a good chance of Mata, he is not keen on a move to a club where he will not play.}

haha its true jones to utd deal held up due to a fee row.... on ssn! looks like utd are tight on cash, given they havnt completed young deal either yet!Still think he will go there but they will have to pay for it. They want over 20 mil

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 09:09:59
so liverpool expected to sign Downing, Adam, Enrique and Wickham, that really doesnt full me with excitment sadly :/

but if we got Wickham, Downing Clichy then brought Mata id be delighted.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 08:59:00
Why are we trying to sign Connor Wickham for £10 million, maybe more?

Surely Daniel Sturridge is a better option as a 'back-up striker'? If we are so into spending high values on young, English players with plenty of potential then surely a look at Sturridge for about £10-15 million is a better shout than Wickham who has no Premier League experience and is more similar to Andy Carroll than any of our other targets.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 08:57:39
liverpool will be the best team around in the next 3 yers with all this young foot ballers like henderson mater and few more livepool got some coins to spend this summer and if they speand wisley then got a gd chance but they need to get big name in order to do that

Hi Ed's

Saw a discussion on TV the other day (think it was Press Pass on ESPN) where they were saying that a lot of people are saying that some of the Barca hierachy are not sold on David Villa (although I think he has been excellent for them) and that he might be shipped out or at least available - perhaps with them wanting Sanchez & Rossi coming in.

Heard anything?

Fensh {Ed001's Note - no nothing, not on Villa being sold, lots of players have been put up for grabs, but I have not heard of any suggestion he will be sold.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 07:54:10
if the owners n kenny are serious they should grab nasri n go for ericksson from ajax , add downing n clichy, all of which have great passing pace craft, lots of interchanging , and with suarez n gerard there i tell you would smash any team up,
irish john {Ed001's Note - Chelsea have had a bid for Erikssen rejected already.}

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 07:37:42
If Juan Mata does join us (good chance of that) it would make us a more attractive club to other players?

Also, I read an article and then saw an interview of Mata and they both said how first team football was important. Mata said he would only play for first team football and in this article (sorry forgot the website) it said how he had turned down Madrid and Barca before. So for first team football, Man City is a no-goer the mancs, would they get rid of Nani or Valencia who've been performing well?
And obviously he'd be on the bench for Barca or Madrid.

And that leaves us, LFC, where he would most certainly get into the first team, and our team would suit his style of play, and if he joins will other stars follow?

Getting seriously worried that KK and DC are loosing out to the Scum. Signed Henderson for an outrageous amount considering he had only half a good season, but i have faith in the Kings decision so he must see something special.

I realise that Young and Jones having the choice to play for the EPL Champions and have European football would take that rather than come to LFC, but is that because KK and DC are being to slow to close deals down?? They will have a list of players and they should be acting fast, it took just short of 2 weeks to sign Henderson, it has taken the Scum 2 days to sign Young!!

It is surprising how quickly the new season will arrive and the players need to be here sooner rather than later to adapt to life and gel with the other team members!

KK and DC need to react quicker to ensure they sign the players they want, they need to be discreet and firm, if the player or club in question are faffing around then move on, and withdraw, as it should be an honour for any player to have an option to play for LFC, and if they don't bite there hand off immediately then their not wanted! We cant Allow the Likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, and other big european clubs to join in on our Player shopping list, just like Fergie jumping in on Young and Jones, and Wenger on Chamberlain, be discreet as hard as that is, we cant afford to loose out. This is our Big chance to rebuild our club and bring back the glory days.

Come on KK and DC, we want to see some serious action, put some of these rumours to bed, and let us get excited about our real future with the talent you are bringing to this Beautiful Football Club!

I've been away a while - I see a lot of talk has turned to a 'Meireles in or out' debate following the signing of Henderson. I thought I'd write what I think of it all and see what other think. Be warned, as usual its quite lengthy.... I just type what I think, sorry in advance.

RAUL MEIRELES..... WHAT TO DO?

Meireles is one of our better attack minded central midfielders - he has great invention, can pick a pass & makes good runs - defensively however he is woeful - bloody woeful - he can also drift out of games and can make poor decisions - both on and off the ball.

Meireles' unpredictability on the ball is both his best - and worst attribute. Frustrating in that he often tries the more elaborate pass - which is tougher for a team mate to both read - or control - rather than choosing the simple option - which can slow the tempo of our play. Such as short range passes at knee/waist or chest height - the boy loves to 'clip' a pass - If I was a team mate it would get frustrating. Expect 'hospital passes' aplenty.

However, on his day he can also be a matchwinner. Kind of like a central midfield Luis Garcia.

The problem atm (a welcome problem I reckon) is that with Gerrard, Meireles, Henderson and Shelvey (not to mention Aqua), we have a lot of players vying for this position (attacking central midfield).

Furthermore Kenny has played a lot with two holding central midfielders - sometimes with one advanced - this system does not leave a lot of room for Raul when Gerrard returns and with Hederson arriving.

Meireles simply CANNOT play in a 442 with Gerrard - that idea is nonsense. In a 433 scenario there is also no place for him in the first team. Particularly if we sign new wide players.

Personally I would look to loan out Shelvey (Bolton?) for a year and keep Meireles - but he would be backup, not first-choice - Gerrard is first choice whether with one or two holding players alongside him - Gerrard will play.

Henderson is interesting though - is he a £16-20m 3rd choice attacking central midfielder? Seems very doubtful - unless he is penned in as right-wing cover as well as an ACM option. Anthing that keeps Dirk away from the flanks is an improvement in my books.

As he is under 21 I think Henderson does does not need to be registered as one of our 25-man squad till next year (I may be wrong? I don't think so though) - the options of those three (Gerrard, Meireles, Henderson) for an ACM role are as good as any club in England in my opinion - by next year (12/13) Shelvey may be ready as our 3rd choice - and then we can reassess Meireles & Gerrards continuing roles next summer - a season is an age in football after all. It seems like in the medium-term (over the next few seasons) we will have good options in this area.

In Meireles' defence - for his first year in England he has done pretty damn well - in a side lacking invention he has provided creativity - his linkup play with Suarez shows promise also. If does stay I hope he'll be tougher and up his work-rate next season - he could be excellent if he could improve this side of his game - but its a big 'IF'.

Some people here claim that 'he plays for the shirt' and other such nonsense. They must not have seen him play much - he is, at the moment a defensive liability. I feel his brief glut of goalscoring clouds a lot of peoples judgement over his overall contribution - Maxi also springs to mind here.

Its notable that to accommodate him Kenny often played two holding players - he knows that Meireles needs covering and can't defend - he is not a dynamic player a-la Gerrard.

Meireles saw a lot of action in this sense (playing up front/off a striker) at various stages of the season, such when covering for Carroll - due to our lack of striking options - often playing off Suarez - or off Kuyt or Torres before that - by the start of the season I don't see Raul finding many more opportunities to play up top next year. With Dirk moved up front and destined never to near a touchline again - and talk of additional signings it appears his potential starting positions are being squeezed out.

When Kuyt and Suarez became established - not even considerin Carroll -Meireles was shunted wide - he was infinitely better than Kuyt out there, but was still not good enough - he's just not a wide-man - by the time next season begins, I don't see him being our first-choice right midfielder - do you?

If we were offered £18m-plus for him I would take the money and run. I also think that if Kenny would consider selling Meireles it will/would be because of the reasons stated above - this 'lazy' side to his game, both on and off the ball.

We don't need 'passengers' if we're to continue playing a high pressing game in the coming season - and have real ambitions to compete at the top.

Look at Barca with Messi - no-one should be above grafting - Suarez is a fine example of this also - I feel Kenny is targetting very determined characters - competitors who are willing to put their body on the line for the cause - every game. Carroll, Suarez and Henderson all fit this mould. These three are not cowards - they work hard and do not shirk tough physical challenges. There is a pattern emerging to our strategy in this regard - which makes me question whether Meireles will be part of our future plans or not...... regardless of what we may think -

As I said - I would keep him for the reasons I stated earlier - but it (selling Meireles) is not as ludicrous an idea as many seem to think it is.

DISCLAIMER

Before anyone says so - I really don't care if some fans poll voted him player of the season or whatever - if I knew the people voting watched every game and understood the game then maybe it would count for something - but that is not the case.

On another note, since I was last here I see the FIFA 'scandal' has broken... may I now rant about corruption in the game freely - now that ranting about corruption has gone mainstream - hooray! I saw a phrase people are using on the net to sign off. I like it -

LOVE FOOTBALL HATE FIFA

defense is there weakness and he's their week link.If we want top spot that signing does not make sense, we
should shake off this settling syndrome and ultimately

Valencia cashed last year 80mil eur for Silva, Villa&Zigic. Valencia is not in financial problems like last few years. They are playing in CL. Why would Mata come to Liverpool for god sake? {Ed001's Note - they still have financial problems.}

Your very positive about this transfer Ed. I believe we can get him as long as a team that can offer champions league football don't try too hard for him.

Ed, with your gut feeling where do you think Juan Mata will end up? I know there's a lot of if's, but's and maybe's but just a guess really. Doesn't Mata if you guess wrong (see what I did there). {Ed001's Note - I don't think we will get him, but Valencia do need to sell players so I expect him to go somewhere in the summer.}

I can't wait for next season. I'm not too bothered who we sign to be honest. We've got the core of a decent team and we're gonna add a bit more quality. You can keep your Aguero and Sanchez thanks, because we don't need them and all that crazy money circus. The reason is simple - we've got Kenny in charge. Whoever's in our starting line-up at the beginning of next season Kenny will have them playing quality football with a smile on their faces and pride in their club.

 

 

 

 

11 Jun 2011 00:25:27
Don't know if the Aguero goss is nonsense or not but if true the reason he will be wanting such a big wage the same with all big named foreign players it's because in spain etc they pay hardly any tax if any so obviously if they choose to play here the tax from their pay is huge compared to what they are used to. So he could be on 120 k for example already but for him to recieve that from us after tax we'd have to pay him alot more. This is why besides the weather lol british teams lose out on alot of the players to european teams.

Red Dave"

I should check my contacts mate. Real have been told they can have Aguero for 45 Million euros. As ambitious as our owners are I do not think they would match that and then there is the problem of him wanting a salary about 50% more than our current highest.
I don't have any contacts but that is reliably reported in Spain.

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

I heard that Atletico are charging Real Madrid more for tax reasons so that A.Madrid get how much Aguero is worth after tax is taken away. Aguero wanted a move so asked them to take this away and they said they would not charge any other club the tax because they do not want to deal with Real Madrid. that is why they said that Aguero would not be sold to Real Madrid.

NI Red

When Aguero signgs for Barcelona for 25mil you all will be shock.

I must say that I am concerned if KK and DC are serious in their chase of Conner Wickham. He has scored 13 goals in 65 appearances at Championship level. He will be up against some of the best defenders in the world at EPL level, and his Championship record is not that prolific. I can understand the signing of Carroll and Henderson (can't understand the fees though, but that is another discussion). but to sign Wickham would be a huge gamble with an awful lot of money. If FSG are so stats mad, then they wouldn't go near CW with a barge pole. I would prefer we look at some of the younger proven EPL players that aren't necessarily English. The fees are more reasonable and they would not be as bigger gamble. The only other Englishmen we should be looking at are Dann and possibly Downing now that Jones and Young have been snapped up by the scum.

As for Aguero, can't see him signing unless we sell Suarez. They are too similar to be in the same team and neither one is going to want to sit on the bench. Mata would be OK as would Benega, but with Henderson signing I think Benega is off the radar unless JH has been bought to play on the right.

We also need to move a few on before there are any more signings as well. Some of the reported wages that some of the players are on that can't even make the matchday squad are obscene. Cole (I like him but I don't think he can see past his pay check), Poulson, Jovanovic and several others need to go to clear up some head room on the wages bill.

Agger will not be sold unless the medical team say he is a lost cause. He is quality when fit (I know, not often enough) and gives more composure at the back than any defender that we have, or are looking at buying.

To lose out to the scum on Jones and Young will mean that the Plan B targets will now be looked at. I am quite sure that some of these Plan B targets will surprise many people. DC has been extensively scouting and has many contacts throughout Europe and Africa. He is not known for buying British and I am sure that a couple of exciting young players will be brought in, surprising us all.

I agree Kev simply because we are Liverpool Football Club ! We are a club on the up and have one of the greatest Liverpool legends of all time as our manager ! We have owners with great ambitions for the club and are willing to spend any amount of money on someone they think is worth it ! So being Liverpool FC and not being in Europe doesn't necessarily mean we can't attract big names like Suarez as you said , big name , Ajax would have guaranteed him European Football and League Champions ! I'm always here to back you up mate , Remember me !
