We all know that KK wants 4 class strikers. .We already have 3 if he plays kuyt up top. .so say we bring in benzema for instance. .KK will struggle to keep everyone happy. .how do you see it working guys? all feedback welcome.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
personally i think the 4th should be a young, hungry striker who'll be pushing the others for their places, for example (sorry) hernandez at united.
wouldn't mind being on the bench and could nab a goal or two when necessary, plus setting us up for the future as we all know nesv want

could possibly promote someone from the reserves like Saric or Morgan (though at 16 quite unlikely), or buy a young talent like Lukaku

any thoughts anyone?

jaymac

I'm not too sure we need another striker as long as we bring in 2 talented wingers with goals in them. .
I like the thought of Bojan kirkic on a free but he wants first team football and that's kinda the problem i was on about. .Lukaku may be too expensive. .

other than the fact that defoe is w**k and you want to get rid of gerrard, i do agree with a lot of what you have just said (probably nothing more than wishful thinking on both our parts)

Sorry mate but you say you don't trust comolli and then you go on to mention two quality players he has signed, give the man a chance
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I doubt Comolli had much to do with the signing of Carroll, Suarez has been a great signing, and I agree that people deserve to be given time, but his track record is not that good, just look at his appointment in France, He has wasted many millons before, and I think we have had years of people doing that, and it is about time that we spent the money wisely and bought players who can adapt. Ross
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
you don't make sense look at what talent he got for spurs;bale, goivani dos santos, kevin p boateng to name a few. By the way which person/ manager doesn't make mistakes when buying players? erm Mourinho certainly has, so has Wenger and also SAF. its also kind of hard signing good enough players on a low budget which is not the case at Liverpool anymore but that's not an excuse as mistakes can still be made. but all I'm saying is that i very much trust him and Dalglish 2 make some important signings in the summer "together". and i hope that the ed's can agree with me as i think everyone values there opinion. but, why don't you think he had anything to do with Carroll because Carroll isn't french? he's been given a "joint" task at the club which makes him at the center of "any" signing or selling that the we are connected 2.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Comolli did get some good talent for Spurs, but he also bought some rubbish as well, He was the one that got the job for Ramos, and look how that ended
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
may well have been the one who got the job for dalglish. . look how that's gone
also, he prefers the big players, suggesting carroll was his idea
look how well the tottenham squad he put together are doing now, for the most part, with the exception of VDV, harry redknapps signings have been b*rk, comolli's on the other hand are on a sick one
have a little faith
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I hope I am proved wrong, and Comolli does come up with the goods, Kenny was never his idea, that was down to the Fans.

I have posted twice in the last 2 weeks but the ed hasnt posted it. not sure if its because he thinks its too far fetched?

Well Leighton Baines is going to Liverpool and Rodwell to United. I also posted about Dietmar Hamann going to Leicester as a coach weeks before it happend and have been told by the same guy this is what is happening. don't know anything else though sorry

kenny wants a very strong squad as in recent years we have had to rely on 1-2 players excelling, having 4 strikers would mean we can stay competitive on all fronts fa cup, carling, euro, and prem and having a good front line that can rotate can only be a good thing, places for competition also. So if the club are willing to putthe money forward i say no worries but the problem being we would EXPECT silverware and not hope for it.

i mean look at arsenal part of wenger not investing the money they have i think is sort of a fall back for him every season. no silverware again. . no worries guys i didn't spend a dime! wait till next season and we will have it.

Kenny doesn't want to hang around he want a prem title as much as any other fan. he is the best person to take over for the next couple of years! !

Liverpool considering buying a bag of sh *t.
Give it 24hrs and Manure will put in a bid for the same bag too.

It's sometimes very funny how the Mancs are so scared of the Reds uprise that they'll almost put in a bid for every player they think that we may sign.

SAD! VERY SAD!

Anyway back to this summers signings.

Hey ed! Did we ever show interest in Ever Banega? I really thinks he's top class and is better than Adam. Any other teams interested in him? I know he's keen for a move for he had a bust up with his manager and not 1st choice anymore. You think he has attitude problems? Really hope that kk and comolli show interest in him. Thanks ed! {Ed002's Note - He is certainly an option.}

Ok Ed you are KK. . .you have been given a 2 year deal and 50m to spend in jan plus any money generated from sales. .
If u b**** this up don't reckon you'll get an extention after 2 years. .
How and on who would you spend it? . .

{Ed002's Note - It is never going to be like that - there will never be a £xM budget set.}

A few tabloids today seem to be going with the same story that KK wants a longer contract but NESV want to apese him by giving him a good budget for players in summer. I know it's unlikley they put an exact figure on it but they all say 50m.

Do you reckon this is way off the mark then ed?

{Ed002's Note - It will never work that way - the "football" folks will decide on a player they wish to buy and put together a "business case" supporting the purchase. They will agree between themselves that this is a nifty move and then put it to the board. The board will agree or disagree. NESV will support the club financially - but they will not go wild or empower any individual.}

In a way we don't need another CB, but the thing with putting agger in your starting 11 is that he's always injured.
So do we bring ayala back and have ayala and agger as a partnership, let ayala get game time then when agger is injured we have carra to step in.

Comolli is looking at targets for the summer, and I do not trust him as far as I could throw him. The most important thing is that we get players, that want to play for LFC, and that will improve our current squad. It is imperative that we get quality wide players that can give Suarez and Carroll decent service. and sort out our defence as well. and would be good if we could get a creative player in the middle of the park.

Pasted from the Bleacher Report but makes interesting reading. . . . Liverpool have been linked with speculation surrounding a 35m bid for Udinese's Alexis Sanchez. It has been revealed that an English club, believed to be Liverpool, have made a huge offer for the highly rated winger ahead of the summer transfer window.
Udinese chairman Franco Soldati has claimed that an early official bid has been made for the player with rumours circulating that the bid originated from Anfield where Dalglish & co. are looking to add highly rated young talent.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I'm 100% certain that this will not happen. Sanchez will go to chelsea in summer as previously discussed on these hallowed pages

Rewflo

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

i don't know mate. i wasnt convinced on the sanchez rumours myself, but recently, there seems to be a lot of focus on the possibility of liverpool making that earlier bid. so i wouldn't rule it out (besides, you being 100% certain doesn't rule out the possibility ha h) but yes anyway, i heard liverpool were looking at sanchez and were interested. so why would we keep an eye on somebody who we had no intention on buying? NESV know we need to buy top players to be a force again, so why would we not go for sanchez?

This where I hope kk comes in and helps make the final decision. Personally I see Carroll as more to do with kk than comolli. He likes playing a big forward alongside a shorter more skillful striker, sutton & shearer.

I think we are a few players away from a title challenge.

i think stevan jovetic of fiorentina who destroyed us last season in champs league has great potential. Accurate passing good speed and great finisher.

i think kyriakos papadopoulos is a cb with great potential as well. At just turned 19 his pace and positional play is really good.

yann mvila is already widely regarded as the next big destroyer and i think we should go all out to sign this fella.

at lb i think we need a solid player such as aly cissokho and we should be able to challenge.

team would be
reina
johnson papa agger cissokho
mvila/ lucas
gerrard/ adam
meireles jovetic suarez
bench
kuyt, lucas, adam, skrtel, carra, pacheco
carroll

I would just like to have my say on this Alexis Sanchez saga. .

Im sure Chelsea were in talks wit his club, but many teams hold formal talks with clubs representatives without ever securing a deal.

There is never any smoke without fire and although im not overly confident of us being the 'mysterious' bidder, I also wouldn't be surprised if it us who have made the first major bid.

People may think 35 mill is too much for players, but as with Carroll, I couldnt care less what they cost us, as long as they do a job.

Ed, is it now impossible that we can play in europe next season? shame if it were and would it possibly limit our transfer targets (this is considering if we come 6th of course)

I commented on the Liverpool game, Liverpool played well against an injury hit United team, No Park, Anderson, Fletcher, Valencia, Rio, Vidic & Nani (2nd half). Carra should have seen red and we gifted you two of your three goals. Literally on a plate.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Most of them have been poor for utd anyway so not as though they are key. Us liverpool fans could easily say that you're 3-0 win over us was just as handed as berbatov was not marked for any of his goals and was given all the time in the world. PLUS we had the biggest 2 handicaps in the league Hodgeson in charge and Torres up front.

The reason I beleive this is a good team is because we are playing a 4-2-3-1 fromation which served us so well under Rafa when we finished second. Mascherano can be replaced by Mvila and Alonso by Adam but also play meireles instead of gerrard in lesser games e.g wolves.

FA Cup semi-final draw: Manc City/ Reading v Manure,

Bolton v Stoke. Does that mean no Europa League for LFC if they remain 6th?
. . . . . .
Some mite disagree with me here but id rather we weren't in the uefa cup anyway.
We can concentrate on going all out for the premier league, while the other top teams are in Europe every other week.
Yes players want European football but the want CL football.
It's like the UEFA cup has turned into a joke cup anyway.
If we can start the summer with 1 or 2 top signings players will see that were in with a good chance of winning the premiership.

Just read on goal.com that King Kenny has been offered a 2 year contract. Seems a little short for me, but maybe it's for the better if there is some pressure to produce results. Time to get behind him and the team, hope for a good summer of signings, and Prem. League title next summer :-) ra1969@usa.com

Completely agree with this. Payouts for people who can't do their job are ridiculous. In my opinion it should only ever be a 1 year rolling contract, any manager who disagrees obviously thinks they are not upto the task and so should not be hired. Jose only ever does 1 year rolling, as does Pep Guardiola. Its good for the club and if the manager does his job correctly he will keep his job so he loses nothing.

I watched a couple of matches Bal zs Dzsudzs k played in last season which was is his best ever as a player. He is only 24 and has a very sweet left foot. A PSV scout labelled him 'a modern left-winger'.
I watched a game in which he scored one of the best free-kick goals I've seen in my life.
His average goal scoring record for PSV is just a little more than a goal every 3 games and scored a whopping 14 goals last season along with 16 assists.
We are reportedly interested in this talented player and about £14 Million would be enough to prize him away.
I would welcome this move with open arms as I feel we desperately need a player like him on the left wing, he can also play as left forward.
A goal-scorer, frequent goal provider and an excellent free-kick taker.
If people haven't seen him play I suggest you watch a compilation of his 09/ 10 season on youtube. I realise it is not the best place to judge a players performance but trust me, he plays just as consistently as the video would appear to show, atleast in the couple games I watched him play.
What are your opinions on him ed(s), mine is that he is a real class act.

P.s-Good Night LOL. :) {Ed005's Note - I don't know much about the player but we are desperate for width. I've heard some good things about him.}

I do not trust any players goalscoring record from holland, lets not forget Kuyt scored almost a goal a game in holland and the AMAZING alfonso alves was a goal every 2 games. Its a good league for strikers to score as there is little focus on defending there.

I'm confident of suarez because I seen him in world cup and he showed his class there. His record is good in holland but I see him more as a creator/ scorer in england.

To be honest I haven't seen Balazs Dzsudzsak play so I'd like to ask the eds to rate him in their opnion as I hear we are considering bidding for him in the summer. I have googled him & I am very impressed with his consistent goal scoring record over the last three years. I also liked what I saw of him on youtube especially his explosiveness. Could you also rate the credibility of our interest in him & the possibility of us signing him. I think he would be a better buy than Mata & the likes as he looks built for the rigours of the premiere league & wouldn't cost as much imo. Thanx!

ED! any thoughts on the player? ?

No way man Aquilani would never go to Lazio, he is a Roma boy and the Roma-Lazio derby is just as heated as Liverpool-Everton

I don't think this move will happen but in italy players don't care about derbies. Look at how many player have played for 1 or more rivals of their original team. Ronaldo, and Ibrahimovic have played for ALL of their original teams rivals i think. Players don't consider derbies the same way abroad as they do in england. Still don't think this will happen though.

Ed in response to this:

Ed, if we win Europa League and Chelsea get 5th, do they fail to enter Europe full stop? Cheers,
EyeSak {Ed001's Note - the FA has to request our inclusion if we win but fail to qualify, but it is not at the expense of the 5th placed team. It would be an extra place.}

Are you 100% sure? when we won the champions league in 2005 we had to go through the qualifying rounds but basically if that was to happen again we would qualify over the 4th placed team in the league (if we finished out of the top 4), you sure the same rule doesn't apply for the Europa league spot? Can't see UEFA fookin up twice!

Hoola {Ed001's Note - the rules were changed to ensure the winners would get the right to defend their trophy, though the rules did already state that the winner would get automatic entry. It was just changed to ensure that Champions League winners now get automatic entry at the expense of the lowest placed league team if their league campaign didn't result in qualification. But they didn't feel it necessary to do the same in the Europa League as it is of lesser importance and one extra team amongst them wouldn't matter.}

Ed, as an lfc fan, i am worried about our shocking transfer targets. Our top transfer targets are Young who is not good enough, adam, well we don't even need the him, hes a squad player, and it bemuses me that we are after these 2 players and yes we might get payet or turan for the wings but to me it seems that LFC will still be behind chelsea, arsenal, city, and even the ordinary united. Chelsea i have been informed are LIKELY to do deals for sanchez and aqeuro and are pursueing talents such as neymar, turan(our 2nd choice to young) and even kaka, while arsenal will replace fabregas with possibly hazard, city opening the chequebook and united already in pursuit of modric, young(we will get gim) and rodwell. Ed, surely instead of telling me to trust kk and etc, we should be buying players who are yes affordable and realistic like banega and martinez, possibly llorente, who are better than adam and young. we lfc fans will be waiting another 20 years for a pl trophy, if we don;t buy the better players!


Ed, i heard that chelsea are doing deals for sanchez and turan aswell and their interest in aguero. The fellow does have a point about our player choices. Ed, do you think we will have as strong as squad as the others next season? {Ed001's Note - I am sorry but I really don't see the point in this question whatsoever. We can only sign players that want to join us, how it is relevant that Chelsea are going to spend more ludicrous amounts of money on players to what we do I fail to understand. The only thing that matters is that the club is looking to improve its playing staff. We are not in the Champions League and we have to pick our players accordingly.}

Alot of people on this site think if we don't buy £30 Million players then our summer transfer window will be another complete disappointment.
This is not completely true as it's all about doing things in a discreet manner. There are players out there who aren't hyped up by the media but are very much class acts and can be picked up for around £12-16 Million.
I hate that Whiskey-Nosed Basterd but Chicarito was a good signing for only £6 Million.
We need to target teams that are having some kind of financial difficulty and use it to our advantage or players whose contracts are almost up and will go for a much cheaper price.
Saying that, we should go for one world class player and break the bank for him.
Players that have recently been linked to us and how much I think we should pay for them, this of course is only my opinion.
Charlie Adam-£8 Million (cheaper if blackpool are relegated this season)
Sylvian Marveaux-free transfer
Dzudzsak- £14 Million
Arda Turan- £12-14 Million
Payet- £13.5 Million (is this a right approximation ed?)
And a top striker to give us that attacking force to be reckoned with.
A squad player would also be a decent addition.

I think we need a defensive midfielder and Mvilla does look the most promising out there.It wouldn't surprise me if Man utd targeted this player as well, so lets hope Comolli can talk the player to Anfield.Lucas as improved this season but he still gives to many fouls away around the box.Marveaux and Gervinho would be great additions to the squad .Suarez, Carroll and Gervinho, supported by a midfield three of Mvilla, Gerrard and meireles, would be formidable. A pacey back four which would mean the exclusion of the Greek and Carra would be benefit the team, as we could play with a higher line.

Any body watch the youth cup against man U? What were your thoughts?

Suso looks class when he's got space but sometimes takes too long to make a pass - it might have been an off game but he's not near the 1st team in my opinion (I'm not knocking him just some people on here believe he's a world beater already - he needs to improve his decision making IMO).

Morgan is a great finisher - 2 chances 2 goals fair play.

Sterling looked good but it would concern me that he doesn't track back enough - we're not going to be offensive all the time in a match, still looked good though.

Wisdom looked solid again, can see him breaking into the 1st team next season but not as a Centre back.

Watching Liverpool wishlist is Huge humour in These days. People have giving some top names and their costs and also the Selling Price of Our players. In a Recent post one posted 10-15 players and Put their values to sum of 90 Millions. And, he also listed our players whom to be sold and Summed their value as 70 millions.
This is not the Liverpool way. There you can see overhaul of the SQUAD. We have the Chance to Sign 5-6 players and we will replace the Deadwoods with new signing. We never sell 12 players and also never bought 12 players, even they come for free. It will be a tragedy for the Players to be with new faces. Even the Manchester City will never Sign 12 players in a Transfer window. Kenny has done wonders with this squad and we need only to some Replace players who was not in His plans. PLAYERS like Maxi, Aurelio, Milan, Poulsen, Knocheskey Joe Cole (may be), Aquillani and Insua (may be) leaving. There is no need of Selling Young players instead sending them out to Loan will help them as well as ours.

park and Anderson are never first choice anyway fletcher was fully fit but was left on the bench therefor that was bad team selection from the red nose alcoholic, you haven't had rio for most of the season anyway , vidic wasn't injured he was suspended because he can't resist getting red cards whilst playing against judas and nani well what can i say he deserved that for all those times hes dived little brat.

I have worked out for 4 possible formations for Liverpool Fc. 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 5-3-2, 4-2-3-1
I have found out 15 members of the Squad Excluding Youngsters (INCLUDED SHEVLEY) have Qualified.
And Atleast 7 Signings are needed. LD, CD, LM, CM, RW, DM, and a ST.
And assume we sign Adam and he can cover both CM and DM positions. And we sign Marveaux can Cover LM positon and Ashley can cover Both RW and a back up for LM positions.
And all we need is 6 signings Lb, Cd, Adam, Young, Marveaux, Striker.

What are the possiblities for this Positions and who are the 4 youth who could feature in 25 man squad. There is a need for Certain Back-ups for Players like Lucas. INDIAN Red

FA Cup semi-final draw: Manc City/ Reading v Manure,

Bolton v Stoke. Does that mean no Europa League for LFC if they remain 6th?
. . . . . .
Some mite disagree with me here but id rather we weren't in the uefa cup anyway.
We can concentrate on going all out for the premier league, while the other top teams are in Europe every other week.
Yes players want European football but the want CL football.
It's like the UEFA cup has turned into a joke cup anyway.
If we can start the summer with 1 or 2 top signings players will see that were in with a good chance of winning the premiership.

I can't wait for this season to be over. Dont get me wrong i still think we'll have a few more reasons to be cheery this season but its so depressing on weeks like this one. Champions league and quarter final weekend for the fa cup and okay we're in the europa league but it just doesn't feel right that we're not involved in the two more prestigious tournaments. I love Kenny and can't wait for him to get his teeth into what i hope is a great summer leading us into the blank page of a new season where anything can happen. Whoever the club chooses to sign is fine by me, Kenny won't let anything bad happen and my support will, as always be steadfast for the men in red. As for the rest of this season i will take joy in but not get carried away with good results and try to remember that the bad stuff is all part of a process that is being addressed by a man i trust. I've cheered myself up now, but i think that's just the infectious enthusiasm of The King making me feel excited about the future regardless of targets or budgets. YNWA everybody

I know a lot of people have been moaning or worried about us not targeting "world class players", the likes of:

Sahin
Pastore
Sanchez
Mata
Ganso

I think the reason why we can't get these sort of players is because there will be to much competition for them.

All the big European clubs look like they're going to be spending big this summer.

Chelsea - They need to invest and have already shown interest in a few big names already

United - Sure they'll probably win the title but they have a weak team and their best players soon to retire.

Arsenal - They need to spend on a experienced defender but i doubt they'll spend much

City - They'll more then likely open the checkbook again

Barcelona - Still after Fabregas, center back and a left back

Madrid - They are much weaker then Barcelona and will probably re-open the checkbook to start competeing with Barcelona

Inter Milan - They have an aging squad and i feel they will invest this summer, they have already put in bids for top talent such as Sanchez

Tottenham - They were looking to splash the cash towards the end of January but failed and i'll imagine that money will be used this summer.

All these teams will probably be after world class players and how can we possibly get them if we can't offer champions league football and maybe europa league football while every one of these clubs can.

I think we should go for decent players like Payet, Gervinho and aim to qualify for the champions league football (which we should do considering we will more then likely won't be playing in europe), then when we get cl football we can attract world class players. I might even as we could win the premier league simply because playing in europe costs each team about 9-10 points a season IMO.

I commented on the Liverpool game, Liverpool played well against an injury hit United team, No Park, Anderson, Fletcher, Valencia, Rio, Vidic & Nani (2nd half). Carra should have seen red and we gifted you two of your three goals. Literally on a plate.


Still a good performance from Liverpool though, I am decent enough to admit that. Did you enjoy your cup final win over United? ;)

EXCUSES EXCUSES! Maybe you can be a man the next time your back on here and admit the better team won fair and square lad! {Ed005's Note - I think the initial poster is trying to pump it up abit. It was 2-0 before Nani went off and didn't look like changing (Nani was useless anyway). And since when were Park and Anderson key players for United? Ferdinand has only played half their PL games this season and he's looked awful at times. As good a player as Valencia is, he's played two PL games this season so he's hardly been a key part of them being top.}

Here are a number of player, i think we should buy at least one player from every section to play the positions i think we need! I think that every player i have picked relates to our current policy of young talented players!

Personally i think we should buy a real DM as currently i think we are lacking the extra man to help defend and cover:
Lee Barry Cattermole
Jordan Henderson
Fernando Gago

We obviously need extra attacking options so here are a couple of suggestions:
Mario G tze
Nuri Şahin
Javier Pastore
Paulo Henrique Ganso
Marc Albrighton
Adam Hlousek
Franck Tabanou
Stevan Jovetic
Alan Dzagoev

And finally we obviously need a new left back, so if possible i suggest that we try and sign Davide Santon, the likely hood of us signing him are slim tho.

What do you think of my suggestions? Please comment.
What do u think ed?

DAC {Ed005's Note - You've mentioned some top players, however of all you mentioned above I think Gago is the only one we could realistically see signed.}

Pasted from the Bleacher Report but makes interesting reading. . . . Liverpool have been linked with speculation surrounding a 35m bid for Udinese's Alexis Sanchez. It has been revealed that an English club, believed to be Liverpool, have made a huge offer for the highly rated winger ahead of the summer transfer window.
Udinese chairman Franco Soldati has claimed that an early official bid has been made for the player with rumours circulating that the bid originated from Anfield where Dalglish & co. are looking to add highly rated young talent.

I am beginning to get sick and tired of this rumour. He will no be at Liverpool next season FFS! ! this is a old rumour from last week. Hes not even that good he is another Ricardo Quaresma in disguise. We will not spend nearly all of our budget on one player we need more players and there is cheaper and better options out there.

U-18s up 1-0 at half time against United. pure finish from Morgan. Suso is having a good game so far, it seems like he is back on form after hitting a low point against Southend, he didn't look interested in that game while everyone else was lively. Today, he looks very lively and is getting involved in the center of the pitch after some tactical changes by Borrell. Brad Smith playing rather well as well as Craig Roddan. Sterling kept quiet a bit but still had a few chances. Andre Wisdom is just immense, a first team star in the making. Connor Coady bossing the midfield alongside Roddan, the United lad Tunicliffe can't handle them. That Ravel Morrison of United is one cracker of a player though, would definitely snag him off the mancs to improve our reserves next season. Maybe their keeper, Johnstone, is very good as well.

You have to say that a quick look at Marveaux's career stats and background doesn't inspire a belief that he is a world beater.
He only made the starting line up for Rennes on a regular basis in more recent seasons, and he has never been a prolific goalscorer.
I'm just wondering what Comolli sees in him that the managers who worked with him all week cannot see, apart from the price tag maybe?
Eds, have you gotten an overall view on his style of play and his quality as yet?
Masch proved that underrated players can turn into crackers in the right team (and then be bench fodder at Barca), but I have serious doubts about this Marveaux.
You'll also notice we arent fighting off Man U or Chelsea- or anyone else really- to sign him, either. Kenny surely wouldn't let yet another average player into a squad already too full of them, so the gut must have something. .

{Ed002's Note - Both Manchester United and Chelsea have been after Sylvain Marveaux in the past and it was the player's choice not to move as he thought he would not get enough first team football. If his injury clears it is likely that he will make the move to Anfield and I expect him to be a very good addition to the squad. He is a nice guy and I really think that you should give him a chance. If the fans are not willing to do that then it is perhaps best that he looks elsewhere.}

Roy i always listen to you, but i'm confused mate? If the club failed Torres by lacking ambition. Why did we also make bids for Elia, Gomez, Adam, Young and Richards mate. I was speechless when i heard this, after the transfer window had shut. Think about it Roy, we defo bid 20 mill for Micah Richards, and i still can't understand why? We don't need him, but we still bid 20 mill for him.

I honestly don't know what our ex No9 is talking about when he said "we were lacking ambition" We could have bought Messi, Ronaldo etc. .and Torres still would have went. In my opinion mate he just didn't want to play for us and wanted a new challenge (more money). And good f***ing riddance to mate because we know now that he has no class, just like Chelski.

Blair Mayne YNWA

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I agree with you Blair that's why I take everything I hear / read with a pinch of salt, but I ask myself these questions:

1- How come we failed with all our other bids? as you said we apparently put lots of offers for a lot of players - and none happened except for the 2

2- How come we were only offering Ajax something stupid like 15m Euro for Suarez and only jumped to 26.5 in the last 2 days when the Torres thing was public.

3- If I heard about Torres going and it was all over the chelsea pages in this same site since the end of december (ie it was no secret or a surprise), how come the club did not act sooner to get carroll if that (who they want)?

I don't care what stupidity coming out of Torres since he left, he is obviously bitter, and I am sure he is already regretting the move, but I would like to remember him as the striker who hold the record for the quickest fifty goals and the only player to give us more than 20 goals a season in a very very long time.
Roy {Ed001's Note - do you not think that the answer is simple? Carroll was not first choice and we tried to get about 20 different strikers before we realised Suarez and Carroll were the only real options and had to pay what was needed. There is no great mystery about it, it was simply a matter of time running out on us and having to pay more than was wanted out of necessity.}

We had no choice really. He wanted to leave, said we were a sinking ship in the media and he punched a youth team player.

The problem was that we never brought a winger in January.

Masch proved that underrated players can turn into crackers in the right team (and then be bench fodder at Barca), but I have serious doubts about this Marveaux.
You'll also notice we arent fighting off Man U or Chelsea- or anyone else really- to sign him, either. Kenny surely wouldn't let yet another average player into a squad already too full of them, so the gut must have something. .

{Ed002's Note - Both Manchester United and Chelsea have been after Sylvain Marveaux in the past and it was the player's choice not to move as he thought he would not get enough first team football. If his injury clears it is likely that he will make the move to Anfield and I expect him to be a very good addition to the squad. He is a nice guy and I really think that you should give him a chance. If the fans are not willing to do that then it is perhaps best that he looks elsewhere.}

With the acquisitions of Benzema, Adam, Young, Dzsudzsak, M'Vila and a backup LB in the summer our team will look like

Reina
Kelly Skrtel Agger Johnson
Meireles M'Vila Gerrard
Benzema Carroll Suarez

Subs: Gulacsi, Carra, Aurelio/ LB, Lucas/ Kuyt, Adam, Dzsudzsak, Young

Rotation will play a major part in winning the league next year

You have to say that a quick look at Marveaux's career stats and background doesn't inspire a belief that he is a world beater.
He only made the starting line up for Rennes on a regular basis in more recent seasons, and he has never been a prolific goalscorer.
I'm just wondering what Comolli sees in him that the managers who worked with him all week cannot see, apart from the price tag maybe?

{Ed006's Note - I've not seen much of him but he is a winger. We should never have sold Reira in my opinion.}

Just the ed, do you now how much juve would have to pay for aquilana in the summer? juve are in meltdown at the minute, and maybe a bid of 15 plus aquilana could be enough to tempt them in to letting us take chilelini (spelling) he would be a great cb to partner agger.

{Ed006's Note - I think we are wanting £16m for him, I am not sure though.}

Ed do you no if the ajax keeper stekelenberg has signed a new contract? i know it was close to ending. i know the mancs are interested, but with old team mates like suarez and kuyt from the national team it could put us in poll position. would love reina to stay but i do think he wants out, just can't think of a team he would go to other than maybe barca, and can't see them spending big money on a keeper. may be cash plus players? that would suit us imo, a bojan or someone like that. . contract rebel danny alves would be great! lol
do you think he would go to another prem team?

matt 27

{Ed006's Note - I can't see Reina going to a different Premier League team, I would expect him to go to a team like Barcelona, that would give him a better chance of playing for the national side. I believe that Maarten Stekelenburg's contract was due to run out next season, I don't know if he has signed a new contract though. I think Reina will stay for a couple of seasons and if we don't get anywhere then I would expect him to go elsewhere.}

Aly Cissoko is not a Liverpool fan. I am not sure that Honda is either. Coentrao did say he was though.

Am I right in hoping for an all Manchester F A Cup final if that means an additional place in Europe. If one of the top 4 in the Premier League win the cup their Euro place goes down one extra to the 6th placed team. May have already been the case if Arsenal had beaten Birmingham in the League cup. Ed can you confirm please?

{Ed002's Note - This is correct - it will free up 6th place.}

Hey Ed, you didn't follow up on my post:( So I am again posting it!
Which all clubs are in good terms with LFC(via individuals and board) which may help us in future transfer dealings?
I mean like:
King Kenny- Celtic:Izaguirre, Newcastle:(had a say in Carroll transfer?)
Comolli- St.Etienne:Payet, Matuidi, Tottenham
Clark- Chelsea, West Ham
Sammy Lee- Bolton(their fans still call him Little Sam!)

Also, I would like to know whether Benitez's frosty relationship with Valencia was the reason why we couldnt sign any players from them? Afterall, they had a great squad which had won 2 La Ligas, UEFA cup and were twice runners up in Champions League!

Please reply! Thanks

{Ed002's Note - A different Ed I guess. The transfer market does not work in quite so much a friendly manner as you might think. It is the players that need to be sold on a new club and much of the selling is done by agents who are seeing money as the most significant driver. So Steve Clarke, having spent years at Chelsea, is really not going to make any difference in the case of a player moving to Liverpool. Although saying that, Kenny Dalglish does undoubtedly have a good relationship with Celtic, but I doubt it would influence transfers. Comolli has a gentleman's agreement with St-Et not to take their players but (1) Comolli did not leave the club on good terms at all and (b) They would take a good offer on both players mentioned - with Payet expected to join PSG. I struggle to visualise Sammy Lee being told to go along to Bolton and don't come back until Cahill has signed up.}

Ed, thanks for explaining. So if Reina's agent wants him to move to ManU if they have met his buy-out clause, we won't be able to do anything. Is loyalty dead?
I do remember that ManU refused to sell Gabriel Heinze to us and instead sold him to Madrid

{Ed002's Note - If there were an enforceable buy out clause then there is nothing that could be done. If the club chose not to sell a player to a particular club if (a) an acceptable price had been offered, and (b) the player wanted to make the move, then that would be an unenforceable restriction on the player. However, if the player were open to offers from several different clubs, the selling club could decide at what price and to who they are to sell. This was likely the case with Gabriel Heinze. As for “loyalty”, it pretty much went a long time ago (e.g. Luis Figo made the move from Barcelona to Real Madrid).}

Torres is suffering from homesickness! and has yet to settle into permanent accommodation at Chelsea, which has been a growing cause of concern for the club and his representatives.

He recently tried to acquire the property owned by former Chelsea defender Wayne Bridge, but failed to agree a price.

Carlo Ancelotti has tried to play down talk of an early form crisis by claiming there are no demands on Torres to find the net.

"I do not ask my strikers to score, " claimed the Italian.ha ha hah Well that's good then Carlo as in four starts he has only had one shot on target.

We need players who are willing to play for us - who better than Turan? Perhaps I'm wrong, but that's how I would look at it.}

Eds, why don't yous think we'll target Arda Turan in the Summer transfer window? {Ed005's Note - I've never said we won't sign Turan as I don't know what is going on in regards to his situation. Let me give my own personal take. Obviously we made an offer for Ashley Young in January and many would assume that we'll follow up our interest in the Summer, especially given that he has one year left on his deal then, same applies with Charlie Adam. And Marveaux looks likely also. However I doubt Summer targets are on the agenda at the moment. Kenny Dalglish suggested Turan to Hodgson in the Summer so he obviously rates him. We probably didn't move for him in January because he wasn't available then and it is likely that he will be available in the Summer and he is a full blown Liverpool fanatic. Most people will obviously assume that we'll go back in for the same targets ie: Young, Benzema, Adam, Marveaux. But the fact that Kenny rates him gives me optomism and Henry said the main spending will be done in the Summer. We need players who are willing to play for us - who better than Turan? Perhaps I'm wrong, but that's how I would look at it.}

 

 

 

 

13 Mar 2011 01:14:35
Eds, who do you realistically want us to sign in the Summer, and who do you want us to sell? {Ed005's Note - It's hard to say really. I would probably go for Banega and Turan as I rate them both highly. But I also think we need a left-back, another striker and possibly a holding midfielder - yet I'm not sure who is available. And I'd sell N'Gog, Poulsen, Jovanovic, Konchesky, Kyrgiakos, Aurelio and Spearing.}

Hope Carroll gets a start against Braga as they couldnt cope with him on thurs

 

 

 

 

13 Mar 2011 01:01:43
{Ed001's Note - he is not actually on 120k a week, he is on round about 70k a week plus he gets paid his signing on fee spread over the length of his contract which bumps up his weekly payment. Even if he were to leave we would still have to pay that signing on fee, so the saving would not be 120k a week.}

My bad then take it skysports were slacking and using bad journalism.

Thanks.

TomP. {Ed001's Note - they were sensationalising it, they know how it works but it is not as interesting a story as to say he earns 120k a week. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story when you work for Murdoch or you will be looking for another job!}

Hey is tawio any good. i don't wanna go on utube for ovious (spelling) reasons

Cheers

RED SKETTLE {Ed002's Note - I am not sure about the YouTube rationale but he is a decent but not outstanding left back who can take free kicks. He would be a decent squad addition. He has struggled a bit to keep his weight down.}

So would he be another dossena or insua

Hey guys a quick issue i want to point out you get people saying save wages jovanovics is on 40k a week etc instead of doing guess work actually do your homework you will find that jovanovic is on 120k a week partly due to him signing on a free.

Thanks.

12 Mar 2011 23:59:29
Guys if you want a few laughs get on the arsenal page!
they seem to reckon that ol' scrooge will actually be splashing out, and that they'll actually sign some half decent players as opposed to 17 year olds and crap from the french leagues

Ed did you enjoy Fergie's rant about Kenny as much as i did mate? It's good to have a manager that gets under Fergie's skin again.
