I've already written once today about these so-called sightings but it wasn't posted so I'll have another go. 90% of people these days have a mobile phone with a camera. Why is it that when a player is spotted at Anfield or Melwood or arriving at JLA no-one has a camera to hand? It would be interesting and helpful to see these sightings on this excellent site!

Dont slate Henderson before he has pulled on a red jersey!!
We should judge a player by how he plays for US not internationally.
He was amazing for Sunderland last season and I'm sure he will be fantastic for us as well. Like he needs MORE pressure!?

Regarding the England match tonight:

Wasn't it odd how when Lansbury came on he had all kinds of freedom and got on the ball a lot?

All night Henderson was shackled by Stuart Pearce's negative tactics and was forced to play a very limited role. But how is it that when Lansbury was introduced he was given free reign? Lansbury had more touches in the 30 minutes he played then Hendo did the entire match. I maintain that Henderson is a better player then Lansbury and would have created much more, likely a goal or two.

Well I guess you cannot reason with an person like Pearce.

Anfield Rapstar {Ed001's Note - Lansbury probably ignored Pearce because he is looking for a new club.}

Hey everyone, don't be too impatient. We need to keep some transfers for deadline day. Best TV day of the year - SSN on box, Footy Rumours on the ipad.

Remember we didn't really know about thoughts of Carroll until the last day but did have earlier clues on Suarez. Same sort of thing I hope with Mata fulfilling the "hinted at" signing then something big and left field. Doubt it will be a striker though - possibly two game changers like the Barnes/Beardsley double.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 23:26:27
to the clown giving macca stick - sign your posts brave fella..the vast majority of us look forward to what macca has to post because of his track record, please show some respect. ALB

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 23:23:27
I just want xabi back. It's like a child leaving or something, love never went away for either of us, but he's just not around anymore. i know its unlikely... but it'd be a dream come true

I disagree, I think he may actually know something...

I always think back to the prediction of Woy's sacking - it was no less than spot on.

But hey, could be a decent betting man...

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 23:19:46
Who is this Guy who keeps atacking macca. Maybe ge did get Lucky or Maybe he is in the know only time will tell but at least have the balls to put your name down. {Ed002's Note - Like you have?}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 23:18:23
I think we've seen tonight what effect poor coaching and team set up can have on decent players (U21's). Let's just trust KK's judgement and ability to mould a 'team'. The big name players don't always make the best teams- harmony and balance are just as important - remember Barnes, Beardsley, Aldo, Houghton et al under KK first time around.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 23:02:56
I would love to no why people are saying where signing world class players and being linked with people like Adam and downing. I don't doubt on there day they are good players but not world class these players should be seen as the players on the bench and then get the Wclass players like mata (agreuo and alonso but these 2 not likely) just wondering if any1 agrees

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:55:17
i know he plays a more advanced role put didnt see henderson put in any challenges tonight, im sure it will be different once kenny gives him some spirit

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:53:05
For the people about to start slatin Henderson I think you should look at how much ground he covered and all the dirty work he done and has that lad got some energy I never thought I would see a player with greater stamina than kuyt! He was everywhere on the pitch and you have also got to remember that with mancienne as your midfield partner your not going to look good because he's soooo bad, give the lad a chance otherwise I think a few people will end up with egg on their faces uve got to remember next season he will be playin in a midfield that will include players of the calibre of Gerrard lucas merieles and possibly Adam week in week out so he will be playing in a strong midfield sorry for the rant eds! Just thought something had to be said

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:51:58
Oh my god, Henderson was so bad today, the worst player by a mile...can't pass, tackle, keep possession, shoot etc...wtf 20 million!! Spearing is 10 times the player. We could have spend so much better...i have seen so many talents in the past and remember my words...he won't be a success.

Ed do you rate the player because I don't.

Jay Zee {Ed009's Note - yes, I do rate him. I suggest you watch him for someone else other than Stuart Pearce's England. He was fantastic for Sunderland last season, and created the fourth highest number of chances in the Premier League. It's also important to remember the fee was much less than 20 million initially. Give him a chance I would.}

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

Hi Ed,

According to the Premier League official stats, Henderson was actually 50th in the assist table (Arshavin was 4th.) I really want to believe he is worth "upto" 20 million, but I don't see the raw materials. Also, do you have any info on which CMs are leaving? Would be a shame to see Meireles leave as I believe he has technique and class (that volley last season) something only he and Gerrard have in that position for us (Lucas, Spearing are good at what they do.) One last thing, any more news on Johnson?

Cheers Ed.

Totally agree Ed009 mate, Stuart Pearce is a terrible manager. It seems that all England managers play really negative football. The last time i saw an England side play good football, was Peter Taylor's under 21 side.

The comments saying how rubbish Henderson is after watching him tonight, are just hard to believe. Henderson, Jones, Smalling, Walker, Rodwell etc...are all half decent footballers, with a bright future. If you want to blame anyone for Henderson's lacklustre performances, blame Stuart Pearce. He should be letting the kids express themselves but like all England managers, he's too afraid of getting beat.

PPl like u put pressure on players 4 no reason. Did u c the match, if had seen I didn't get the ball most of the time it's like they didn't want 2 pass 2 him. Thanks edd 4 backing him.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:50:22
BREAKING NEWS!!! every single Englishman under 26 is currently at melwood having a medical! I promise this is true, I'm an astronaut currently in orbit circling steve bruces big fat head and mistook the queue outside melwood for the great wall of china!

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:49:21
For the person who said Jordan Henderson was the worst player on the pitch by a mile that he cant pass tackle shoot or keep possession get a grip one average game and you think he is useless cause Stevie G has never had a bad game i suppose Jordan is one of the best players at the tournament he runs the midfield for england he is a terrific player in my opinion and will be a great player for Liverpool for years to come.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:47:22
I posted yesterday (guy who works in the pub) saying I saw a LOT of people outside Melwood on the way to work. Well today again, there are a lot of people and news round here is Charlie Adam is on his way down! Great signing in my perspective.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:46:43
This is 100% true, not a rumour:
Charlie Adam will meat with Liverpool officials tomorrow at conference in London to discuss further talks. I know the Blackpool chairman, Carl Oyston and this is what he told me. I promise THIS IS TRUE

So how well do you know Karl? well enough to spell his name.

Can't spell (meet), something for the rumour police to chew on

This is pony.....if u knew him you'd know his name was KARL WITH A K!......stop making things up!

-----------------------------------------
Right I know him OK, you can believe what you want, but he is only going to London to speak with LFC officials there is no fee agreed. By the way just to give you an idea of why i know him: He lives in a town called Caton close to Lancaster and I play football here.

What's the latest on Shaqiri Ed? All gone quiet for a while.
---------------------------------------

there is no latest, we looked at him once about a year ago, decided he isn't a team player and moved on. Then the u21 championships came along and all of a sudden he's nailed on.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:24:58
Heard from a mate thats close to West Brom management that Mr Hodgson has asked about Poulsen but is looking to get him on a free. I say, let him go!
__________________________________________________
there must be a god in heaven!!! but i heard he glued himself on the melwood training ground, whimmering "I'LL FIGHT FOR MY PLACE!!!!!!!!!"

Liverpool have 99 problems but Henderson ain't one! Get back to your own site Jay Z, we all know you're an Arsenal fan ;)

well enough to "meat" him obviously!

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:13:53
Dunk is watchin you Ed ;) {Ed001's Note - he must be, he is certainly posting on here enough lately ;o)}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:13:48
Apparently Chavski have bid only 22 million for Moderic, that's taking the piss, even as a red I would love him at our club. If fabregas is worth 40 million then surely Moderic is in the same Price bracket..

Henderson, Gerrard, Moderic, Mata would be a formidable midfield to compare with anyone.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:11:51
Anyone see me chanting outside the stadium? Just me and a mate, demanding to see KK and DC over transfers, the mad thing was they let us in! Spoke to Steve Clarke, didn't get to see the King and DC but they said we were signing Mata, Perotti, Musacchio, Cissokho, Downing and Wickham! Well I'll see you lads later, be there tommorrow for more!

15 Jun 2011 22:10:16
eds or posters: any decent info on gerrard's health? i read his interview stating he's fit, but at every website i trust has some rumours stating he may not be fit enough now. any suspected truth in that stuff?
the site is a really good substitute for the weekly game {Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware he is recovering well and expects to be reporting for pre-season with the rest.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:41:02
elia is Phenomenal, he is better than all the winger we are linked witha nd cheaper... i dont know why you dont like him ed? if you watch the clips on you tube about him, he impressives me more than mata {Ed009's Note - Whilst your opinion is of course to be respected, I believe him to be a 'youtube player' in as much as he has all the flashy tricks, but little end product. I'd love to be proved wrong}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:39:37
all the rumours of players comin in are redicilous mata, adam, alonso, n' zogbia, jarvis, sturidge, wickham, downing, m'vilia, lukaka, sakho, dann, cahill, clichy, coentroa and aguero anyone else? there are tooo many and half the players arent good enough in my opinion that we have been linked with and the players that are good enough wouldnt come here due to not having champions league football which is why we have to buy players that arent as good such as henderson since he was at a team that didnt play european football they are the sort of players liverpool fc will buy this summer. we need to start sellin half the players we have aswell jovanovic, jones, kyriagkos, n'gog, poulson, maxi, cole, aurelio, konchesky, aquilani all need to go too

15 Jun 2011 21:35:11
just replying to the guy who said liverpool meeting up with adam in london, why would we meet in london when liverpool and blackpool both in the north west, all meetings are at melwood for prem based players. also ed, you didnt post my rumour the other night at 11pm it was me that said adam was in dubai when everybody was saying he was here there and everywhere, i was right yet again ha ha (big pat on the back for me) cheers ed keep up the good work.

He was back from Dubai by 1922hrs on 11th June - do I get a pat on the back for reading his twitter account?

No it isnt, how do you meat someone anyway, throw a piece of lamb or beef at them?

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:31:31
cant wait for 1st july onwards thats when transfers will really begin to happen

*****************************************

Well stated Ed009! The biggest disgrace in England's performance today was Pearce's absolutely useless strategy...If players had known their roles and been sensibly versed in them then you wouldn't have had them constantly getting in each others way...and I will not even start on the ridiculous gaps between defenders, midfield and strike force.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 22:30:13
Henderson was playing in an England side playing kick and rush football! Stuart Pearce has not got a clue! The lad Mancienne is awful and Pearce has mane him captain!

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:58:53
{Ed001's Note - he is just waiting on the call to go to Melwood, Villa and Spurs are the only other clubs in for him. United have never made so much as an enquiry and Stoke baulked at the price.}

good thing stoke wont get him, imagin delaps throw ins and adams corners.. :O
haha

15 Jun 2011 21:55:59
So Charlie Adam is meeting with officials to discuss further talks? It sounds like I'm at work - a meeting to discuss having a meeting! What a load of cobblers. Get a life and stop posting rubbish!

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:51:23
editors, how do you rate wether a poster's info is usefull or not? because i just read one poster has good sources. {Ed009's Note - truth is its very hard to know. They either have to prove themselves or they can email the Ed's. Alternatively we validate their information with our own sources.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:47:01
15 Jun 2011 20:25:12
Ed001, do you think we will hear any offical news on transfers before the end of the week? How would be likely? {Ed009's Note - I'm not Ed001 but your favouritism offends me :( haha. I think there is a chance we could see Adam, but these deals seem to take a ridiculous amount of time, especially with Oyston's behaviour.}
sorry ed009 lol {Ed001's Note - don't apologise, it is only reasonable that you would ask for the organ grinder rather than the monkeys ;o)}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:36:11
thank god we didnt sign jones he had a terrible game tonight not worth 20 million .cmv05

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:36:03
Does anyone agree that Danny Sturridge might be worth a punt as back-up striker? Ed? {Ed009's Note - I think he is decent, but not good enough from what I've seen and the price Chelsea are asking - 15 to 20 million - is overly large}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:34:01
is it true that dalglish wants to bring sheare in as a coach......?

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:31:28
evenning eds, watching England u21s henderson is very much like Scott Parker the way he plays .do you agree cheers psv {Ed009's Note - I think in the England setup he is constrained to being a poor man's Parker, when in reality he is a fantastic creative midfielder or winger}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:15:36
I have to say, the suspense of waiting to see who we are going to buy is absolutely bloody killing me!
I just hope we can pull a big one out of the bag like an Aguero!

Oh no, there i've said it, that's probably going to start off all those "I've just seen Kun in the fish n chip shop down on so n so road"!

Before anyone says it, Ken Aguero is back in town at the moment so it could be him.

Sorry eds if it all kicks off again but i just couldn't resist & i was bored lol :o)
Cheers,

If City are a) open to selling A Johnson, b) the player wants to leave (for LFC, let's say), and LFC are c) willing to meet City's asking fee but City would sell only the caveat that it's not to a LFC as its a direct rival.
Surely that's (unfair) restriction of trade?

Ed or anyone else clued-up on these things, what does the law say about such practises?
Surely there's got to be legal recourse here.
Such practises are frankly insane.
Labour should be able to move freely between employers.

But hey, I could be talking out of my arse here, so anyone with better knowledge of these, I'd appreciate your view.

Jack Masters {Ed001's Note - erm I don't actually know for sure, I know they can't just leave a player out of their squad and not playing. Then he can rip up his contract.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:04:34
Okay thanks a lot Ed, don't think i was doubting you, just i was confused with all the hypocritical Adam relating reports on the web. Cheers again. Alex {Ed001's Note - no worries, Ed003 and one of the posters on the main site can also provide very good info on Adam.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:02:41
Hi all was looking for info on marin and came across this don't know if anyone has already posted it. Maxi Rodriguez could be on his way back to Argentina after admitting he has always wanted to return to boyhood club Newell's Old Boys.
Been a top earner and the wrong side of 30 kk may like the deal.

can someone tell me what i press to get that quick page search bar thing up please thanks all

Hi Eds. I love this site, I am on here everyday but why are we advertising gay chat on here?? come on play ythe game {Ed001's Note - you do realise that Google Adsense shows adverts based on the sites you have visited in recent times don't you? But don't worry, all sexual orientations are welcome here mate, we don't discriminate on the grounds of sexuality at all.}

Ed001 is a funny Barsteward. That had me p1ssing myself.

Really though why the Gay Ads? Can't we have those Russian bride ones or the "I got ripped in 4 weeks" ads? lol {Ed001's Note - how about 'ripped Russian brides'?}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:30:13
Spearing, shelvey, Pacheco all better than henderson in my humble opinion. Feel wrong saying 20 mill down the drain but he doesn't look great. England midfield non existent. Defence being forced to hoof it, and no midfielders are showing for the ball. Hope I'm wrong

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:22:53
to the person who stated 'This is 100% true, not a rumour:
Charlie Adam will meat with Liverpool officials tomorrow at conference in London to discuss further talks. I know the Blackpool chairman, Carl Oyston and this is what he told me. I promise THIS IS TRUE'

then for someone who know the blackpool Chairman, i would have thought you would know how to spell his name, considering his first name is KARL not Carl

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 21:19:25
We should not give Oyston the benefit, of messing us about. Make reasonable offer, take it or leave it, and move on. THERE are better players than Charlie Adam.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 20:54:18
Looking for a young left back, Anyone seen Danish left back Nicolai Boilesen, Super player.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 20:50:15
Concerning Dunk, his a good bloke maan.. as a fan and a member of his i think he is well grounded and correct about most things and he was just joking when he made out he was talking to DK on the phone...! The stuff you say about him Ed is below the belt and unjust! If u check out koptalk you wud change ur opinion about the guy.

I find it incredible that some commentators do not give LFC a chance of ending up in the top four next season. The bottom line is there are only 11 guys on the pitch, and the commentators have no idea who the 11 guys are going to be. If we signed the whole Barca team they would say exactly the same !!!

Kenny has had the perfect introduction to managing the team, he knows the young guys from the Academy, he is a brilliant man motivator, and in very simple terms he is universally loved and respected by everyone connected with the club.

We must also never forget RAFAs involvement here. It was his decision to revamp the Academy and also bring in Kenny......two fantastic decisions for the club. After seeing Rafa at the Hilsboropugh event at Anfield and the genuine tears he shed, he will always have a place in my heart.

'As for fans of other clubs posting banter, most of the fault rests with the Liverpool fans.'

Cant believe an Ed's allowed to make such comments remember the last time somebody pointed the finger like this!!!

 

 

 

 

{Ed009's Note - just a warning to anyone, banter needs to remain within boundaries, homophobia and racism etc will not be tolerated.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 20:36:19
ed do you think crouch would be a good back up striker if he came back? {Ed009's Note - I don't think he's good enough personally, especially with Carroll and Kuyt being relatively similar. I'd like to see a pacy striker to play off the shoulder of the last man personally.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 20:34:42
again the marin bid was out of nowhere, no one really knows who we are in for apart for the king and comolli

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 20:25:12

15 Jun 2011 20:24:38
NEWS FLASH! Dalglish to sign a new cetralmidfielder who can operate the right flank, as he has suddenly realised Henderson is a useless sh*t*, who can't tackle, pass over 10 yards, or shoot...

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 20:20:51
heard from a very respected source in the papers , reina deal to utd to be announced soon , with john o shea , wellbeck and cash coming to us ..........

Dear Readers,
As a regular poster under a number of different names including Samson Rasher it has come to my attention that a number of readers on this site are infact suffering from chronic sense of humour deficiency, this is no laughing manner (no pun intended) and these readers need our help, I like many other posters only post on the Banter page, because like most others I have no inside information and don't like to tell lies, so if like some of these poor unfortunate readers you took my posts (about my falcon intercepting important documents from an Athletico Madrid pigeon or my mate who found Aguero's contract in the drainage system of his local swimming pool) seriously then I feel I owe you an apology, I'm soory, these were not meant to confuse you and were meant as a joke about some of the rediculous comments that are left on this site.

On a more serious note, I have just been to my local clairvoyant, who has a direct line to the one and only Derek Acorah he often has little chats with him through his crystal ball while I'm there on my weekly visit and today I asked if he would ask Derek if he had heard anything about Liverpool's transfer activity in the world of the supernatural, Acorah's answer will please most Liverpool fans as he said he had only this morning been contacted Neymar's great grandfather, he is infact Neymar's guardian angel and never leaves his side so he was present through all of the negotiations that Neymar had with Liverpool's reps, personal terms are done and a fee is all but agreed by the clubs, this will be Liverpool's marquee signing and will happen on the 1st July, you heard it here first, I have ghosts on my side.

German international Marco Marin will sign for Liverpool . Bid has been rejected but Liverpool will up they're bid .

Another post where all you have done is read an article and then decided to write the opposite to try and sound like you know something! Bid has been rejected and no news anywhere on anything else or a further bid. Now if you have a source then cool but let's face it...you ain't!

I definately think Marin is worth 13m pounds (15m euro), lets get him and mata for 33m pounds. Marin, Suarez, Carroll and Mata would rip the PL into pieces!

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 19:29:09
"Just noticed we've had a bid rejected for Marko Marin, I don't know anything about him. Who is he? And what is he like?"



In 2008 Rafa Benitez was offered Marko Marin for peanuts from Borussia Monchengladbach, Benitez turned the offer down, needless to say he went on to sign for Werder Bremen and now would cost near to 20m euro for any club interested in signing the young, talented German winger.

Koptalk are exellent!... I have been a member for 2 years and they seem to be on the ball more than others... so please stop havin a go at Dunk and co. {Ed002's Note - Good to hear from you again Dunk.}

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As a punter who trawls the net and most foreign papers and sports mags i have to disagree with the excellent? (very biased opinion is excellent). Joe public has access to most of the "free info" available through numerous sources, mainly newsnow, transfer market uk, and load others too mant to mention.following the linkks from these takes you to the foreign "sources" which are often dupicated from each other, and using the translate icon will turn it into mostly readable english.

Now this site is a rumour site (hence the name) and overall the Eds do a very good job with no sensational claims although it is obvious to the layman from the wording used by them they have an opinioned/ probably partially informed range of "sources" and quite often it is stated "nithing is definate" as in football anything can happen, (player might decide although the clubs agreed a deal) he dont fancy any of his potential team mates wifes, so he decides to go somewhere else).............

Cannot understand why people would choose to pay for VIP info on the othre site and my reasons are that no-one at kop talk has an inner ear at anfield>FACT

As a matter of fact i have read so many peoples comments on their sources that i must be the only jock without a source, , , , , , , , , , ,

To all the posters on here about Stevie leaving.... Stevie will never leave LFC. Did you see the pics on twitter of him celebrating ManU s pathetic display in the European cup? 5 times he said.. Hes scouse and proud of it.

Hello eds. I have just read, on a Scandinavian fan page "www.liverpool.no" that the size of a stadium sponsorship can be crucial for if Anfield Road should be expanded, or a new stadium should be placed at Stanley Park. What is the Liverpool fans from England opinion of the options? Do they think that Anfield Road is to historical to be either removed or expanded? I think, as a Danish Liverpool Fan, that a stadium with more capacity is necessary {Ed009's Note - I would agree that more capacity is required without doubt, but we should just expand to around 60,000, then more in the future as Anfield is far too historic. Look at the Emirates for evidence of new stadiums meaning no atmosphere.}

German international Marco Marin will sign for Liverpool . Bid has been rejected but Liverpool will up they're bid .

----- If you can read it states that both Werder Bremen and Marko Marin have rejected Spurs + LFC's approaches. It's not a matter of bidding more, the player doesn't want to leave for us or spurs, end of.


Marin has actually been quoted as saying that if Bremen accept a bid then he'll go. He's happy to stay but the ball is in WB's court.

quick question for the eds, is Macca pepe reina.
macca reina - macarana, as in the song, could be a play on words.

Apologies if already posted but heard that Alonso arrived at Formby Hall golf club and was greeted by KK. Same source claims that contrary to comments in the press suggesting Gerrard is fit and well he is in fact plagued with back problems and will see little if any future action. put the two pieces together and it makes sense. Also supports rumours regarding Adam and the signing of Henderson. Would certainly spice us up in the middle of the park. if we managed to get Mata and/ or Johnson as rumoured plus a decent LB could be very handy.

"I want to stay at Werder. I feel good at Bremen, " Marin said.

"I have never had the urge to leave. I want to be successful here, and that is my only aim."

The midfielder, who was born in Bosnia-Herzegovina, admits however, that should the club decide to sell him then he would reluctantly leave.

"If the club receives an offer and decides to sell me, that is another situation, " he added.

"Until then I am happy here."
Sky Sports

So that's that then and lets move on shall we

My first time posting here. Been around for some time looking thru all the rumours...addicitive :)

I decided to jump in and calm down all fellow fans here who has their doubts in Mata or Cazorla. Am a big follower of the La Liga as it is broadcast very often here in my country. Mata will be a top buy if and i say if we managed to get him...Technically gifted, pacy, flair and bags of skill...very similar to David Silva but definitely way quicker. Unselfish player who loves to link up with 1-2s....however if we are looking for a winger who will deliver crosses to feed carroll then am afraid with him playing in spain, he seldom crosses so i doubt we can judge his ability of crossing. But if we are looking for link ups and on the floor pass and move...he will be one to watch and definitely good with Suarez.

Now for Cazorla...in recent months after his serious injury, he has more or less being converted into a central mid...even when he appears for the spanish national side. No longer is he a winger. He is technically gifted with awesome vision and his vision was never as good as now ( Huge improvement in that vision area am IMPRESS )...he and borja valero has wreaked havoc for Villareal in the central mid areas this season. Therefore i don't see the point of getting him to make even more competition in our CM areas. If he is bought for the winger spot, he is defo better than our current set of wingers.

I hope i help clarify some fans who are not so sure with the abilities of Mata and Cazorla. I think we should be very happy if we managed to get either one or even both instead of Downing. LETS HOPE AND PRAY!!!

YNWA TRUST IN KK AND DC!!!

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 19:27:23
eds . Psv again cheers for the answer on mata father , mata looks more like a player who plays of the main striker , but I think we need more players that get chalk on there boots maybe turan or Elia .any thoughts cheers psv

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 19:26:15
Aguero not happening and Mata's dad wants him to come to us but only after the under 21's are finished then they will talk.
Koptalk are exellent!... I have been a member for 2 years and they seem to be on the ball more than others... so please stop havin a go at Dunk and co. {Ed002's Note - Good to hear from you again Dunk.}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Dunk treats badly all Liverpool supporters. The other day I went on to his video conferencing forum and he literary made a movie scene on it. Somebody called and he answered and said
"helloo.."
" oh Demien .bonjour"
" so you have news for me? "
" really !! Agureo ??!! that is fantastic "
" so you are heading there now? "
" what a great news..thanks for the heads up as always"
" I will call you tomorrow Merci, Merci.. "
Then after he hangs up the phone, he acts like this happens everyday and when people ask what happened on the phone, he was like come to member's site. He is is really abusing people and I don't know how Liverpool fans buy that

Miccmak

you clearly don't get sarcasm(spelling?) mate. I am not a member of Koptalk but do check out his site everyday like I do this one. both have there merits. From my experience I have not seen or heard him pressure anybody into paying, most of the stuff is on the site free after a day or two anyway.
don't understand why people keep giving him mentions if they don't want him to continue doing what he does, it's just free publicity for him.!!

well, german international. i never saw him in an important game.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 19:21:18
What would be your ideal summer signings ed? Do you think there will be big money spent?! {Ed009's Note - ideally: Sanchez, Mata, Johnson, Javi Martinez, Cissokho and Scott Dann

realistically: Mata, Johnson, Honda, Adam, Dann and Izzaguire probably (not sure about left back). I think a fairly large amount of money will be spent, within reason.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 19:20:10
Real madrid are preparing a shock move for Liverpool FC icon Steven Gerrard. Jose Mourinho is very keen on bringing his former target to the bernebau and is ready to offer upto 25 m GBP.
However, new permanent manager Kenny Dalglish isn't ready to let his star player move. Jose has consequently offered Kenny Karim Benzema and 5 m GBP in order to sweeten a move.
More to come

marko marin will not be signing for liverpool as he has rejected us according to his agent, source: its all over news now various websites.

Hey guys
Everybody is worried how there's not a lot coming from anfield rumour wise , I would personally call it the calm before the storm , it must take an awful amount of planning to get these transfers ready , with amounts to be tendered and the timing of the bid. They've promised us big signings so let's be patient wit the boys , we trust them and last time I was this intensely excited by the club was the 05 champions league win , good times coming back are in good safe hands and they know we are all watching and waiting , don't you agree ed ?

DublinLFC {Ed009's Note - I do, I don't think there will ever be a 'storm' though, except maybe the final days of the season, I expect business will be regularly concluded throughout the window, preferable before pre-season}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 19:02:56
Ferryhill red Alonso is a maybe one day but if lfc sign Adam then never Sergio auguero is a never I just don't believe that he wants to play in epl or is waiting for man s**ty to offer silly money.As for Torres never again don't want to c that man in a lfc shirt ever again I know we got the better deal in Jan but in my eyes he is the same mould as Owen don't ever want to c them again at anfield you got more chance seeing torbin picnic playing again than Torres. bring on the start of the season then we will know who we are going to sign goodluck Liverpool football club then we can have 19 on our entrance of our stadium. And on the the front of our bus.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 19:00:23
Evening eds , everyone watching under21s , mata looks steady think there are better wingers out there for his price tag . But my question is mata father his agent .cheers psv {Ed002's Note - Yes, but he will have other representatives as well.}

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

Mata looks more then just "steady", however how he would fair in the "cut and thrust world" that is the Premiership is another question. All I would say is that if Liverpool want the lad, then lets hope behind the scene negotiations are at an advanced stage because if they are not, then by the time the under 21 tournament is over he will well and truly be beyond our reach.

As for him being a winger, perhaps he might start out wide, although he seems to have more of a free role which allows him to come inside and almost play in behind the forwards - he definitely can see and deliver a pass, (short range).

I rather buy him then Downing, even with the uncertainty of how he would perform in the Premiership.

Evening Ed's, Forgive my ignorance, but is Macca an ex Liverpool player such as McManaman or McMahon. Its just I read in peoples posts is this the real Macca?
Many Thanks. {Ed002's Note - No.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 18:40:51
Watching u21's, mata does look good, but doesn't strike me as a winger..more a roamer, suited more to the middle of the park

Chris

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 18:32:20
Mata is ripping Czech Repbulic apart, him and Suarez would be kings of the EPL - we can only hope Mata wants to join. Riena needs to sell it!
----------------------------------------------------
we want him to have a bad time, then we can get him for cheap well cheaper than they want.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 18:23:53
Ssn reporting we have bid for marko marin. However the bid was rejected. Seems there may be other wingers in the mix. I think the eds are definitly right when they say that most of the work is done behind the scenes and we won't know till it's announced. Love a great surprise signing!

15 Jun 2011 18:22:32
if we did buy the players everyones talking about(the names that commonly pop up)

downing
enrique
adam
mata
wickam
oxlade chamberlain

how would we put them all in one team along with henderson and the rest of the lfc squad

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 18:01:06
adam
downing or N'zogbia
mata
wickham
dann or cahill
johnson
doni
park chu young
enrique or clichey

not a bad summers work from kk

Probably it is going to be: Adam, Downing, N'Zogbia, Wickham or Park Chu Young, Doni, Enrique or Clichy, A.Young or Marin.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 18:12:40
"15 Jun 2011 16:51:21
Ed, Seeing as the Doni transfer has gone cold, how about Rob Green? I think he would be great. {Ed002's Note - Would he sit on the bench?}"

Surely a wind-up post. Green? I'd rather strap a pair of gloves on Sammy Lee.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 18:10:28
Hi Ed, concerning the LB position we still have insua to come back from galatasary,

do you think he can be a player that can make it at liverpool, he's still young and has potential i think, Roy shouldve never replaced him with konchesky

what do you think ?? {Ed002's Note - I rather think Insua's time is up.}

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

I think in a season or two Flanagan and Robinson could be our regular full backs. They both proved last season that although they were thrown in last minute they can cope. Flanagan is only 19 and Robinson only 17 so they have plenty of time.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 18:08:02
Liverpool target Nacho Monreal is set to join Spain's new big-spenders Malaga.

For those of you who don't know. He was a left back targeted by Damien Camolli to replace Paul Konchesky.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 17:57:39
apparentley the two rejected bids are downing and clichy
source : kopsource
and i was wondering is it likely mata will join? technically brilliant and could become a superstar at us with kenny!
Cheers {Ed009's Note - he could join, we are certainly interested, having held talks with his father (and agent), but I would suggest it will be a battle to sign him with several Champions League clubs. Then again he is leaving one in Valencia, so who knows?}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 17:56:54
Edd are you impressed by how good Iker Muniain is playing ?? {Ed009's Note - from what I've seen of the Spanish league he is an incredibly talented individual. I don't think a move to Liverpool is on the cards this window though}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 17:55:31
Ed tell me what you think of the idea about signing Jozy Altidore? I know he didnt have the greatest of times at Hull but the guy is as strong as a bull, only 22, and with the guidence of KK, Kuyt, Suarez, and Carroll, I think he could be a good backup for us. Your thoughts? {Ed009's Note - I think he is quite simply not good enough I'm afraid}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 17:54:54
I don't have a clue who we will sign but KK rebuilt us before in the 1980s and he is canny enough to do it again.

Looking at the Adam Johnson situation at Man City. Ed, do you think players will be more reluctant to sign for city as they will inevitably be replaced. It is turning into a dead end for a few decent players who are either in and out of the team or city refuse to sell them.

Surely money isn't everything as most of these players are set for life or is their own fault they chose the extra £30K a week?

RedKev

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 17:45:54
We need a player who will play 60 games a season who is lightning fast, strong as an ox and can pick a pass out from 70 yards.And can shoot with his right and left feet and smash headers in from 18 yards.
Then we will be happy

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

Yes, but unfortunately Graeme Souness has retired.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 17:34:28
hey ed just a few questions regarding our central midfield
with henderson and probably adam coming in with already lucas, gerrard, mereiles, spearing in the centre where u think they will all play or how you recon? who you think will leave in that department?
martyn lfc {Ed009's Note - the most likely to leave would probably be Meireles, which doesn't mean I think he will. Both Spearing and Shelvey could potentially go on loan, possibly as a sweetener for the Adam deal}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 17:54:29

Big news AC milan legend Dida could be on his way to liverpool as an understudy to reina
-------------------------------
Legend? He is an absolutely awful keeper. he's the one who 'fell over' when tapped on the cheek by a Celtic fan. Also I think most good premier league keepers would have saved Gerrard's goal against AC in Istanbul 2005. But Dida flapped around like Bambi. Rubbish!

ed, i see you have made a Macca's rumours page, can u make 1 for editor's page? ed001 ed002 and so on? it would be easier for me to read ur rumours only instead of hoping someone to ask you and read your comments. if you dont mind? or you have 1 already? a page only for editors post? if you do please tell me which one, thanks.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 17:47:38
News just in. Liverpool are so embarrassed that they took £50 million from Chelsea for Fernando Torres, that they're giving them a £25 million refund. It's restored my faith in football as a gentleman's sport.

'in reply to james post, i know for a fact that we are trying to get rid of meireles and that we currently have agents working on trying to get the best price possible for him.'

Sorry mate, but can I ask how you know this? My sources say differently.

Thanks, James.

Am I the only one who would prefer Parker to Adam anyday? Better player and would only be slightly dearer than Adam

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 17:20:15
I heard a while back that Mata was learning English. Then he started to put his tweets on twitter into english but that was done on translator. Just an observation in the Un21 game now Mata is tlking english to the ref he was complaining about numerous fouls and was asking the ref how many how many etc.....

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 17:17:56
think adam is just a spokescreen for another transfer cos the chairman said no offers recieved and if he wanted to come he would put a transfer request in. i would like it if adam came but i think its a smoke screen for ADAM JOHNSON cos he british, young an very good which KK wants and he is unhappy at city and city have put a bid in for sanchez and looking at a number of wingers

--------

Charlie Adam is Scottish therefore by default making him also British. I presume you mean english?
I do believe believe Charlie wants to join Liverpool but think Oyston is being a bit of a tit about it, aithough i do agree adam Joshson would be a good signing.

These are who i've heard will be liverpool players in the near future:

C.Adam
S.Downing

P.Chu.Young

These are expected to go through within the month with also an experienced goalkeeper being brought in is a certainity i have heard it could be Dida and not Doni

for the record liverpool will be signing 2 top class player outside the rumours being mention in recent weeks by the media! KK is a very smart and intelligent man and he always say TRUST the club we would deal with business the correct way. its funny what some people write on here just to get fans excited, wait until the season starts more than half mention will not be even wearing a red shirt, stop writing your nonsence plz.In KK we trust!!

The rumours about Dann are untrue. He was drawn up on a list of centre defenders who we could buy but he is not one of the main targets as Comolli doesn't think that he would add anything to the team. Our three main targets are:

Simon Kjaer
Gary Cahill
Mamadou Sakho (he was a main target but now looks increasingly unlikely)
Neven Subotic
Mats Hummels

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 16:55:10
i'm a member of Koptalk and its saying that mata's farther thinks anfield is the best place for mata to be but nothing will be decided untill U21's is finished and also we are in no position with Aguero..its not going to happen!

Ed, please post this...

Jus a thought, i really doubt there is anything like an "unproven" player if there ever was a word. People just use that word to mean untested player at a high club, but the way i see it, its usually these kinds of players who make it big rather than the high class players!...so i dont think its fair to say a player is unproven, he just needs a bigger stage and better nurturing.

On to rumours, is there a chance we could offer Aquilani + the odd 5-10M for the services of both Phillipe Coutinho and Davide Santon. Im sure you will realise that Santon covers the LB and RB position. As for Coutinho, i have seen him play as i study in Milan and this guy is just like Keisuke Honda, an attacking utility player who can play any position from wings, to CAM to second striker if needed!!!..ur thoughts ed??.. {Ed002's Note - Stranger things have happened.}

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

fully agree with you mate, the likes of ronaldo and messi didnt just become what they are from doing nothing, they climbed the ranks and proved themselves on the pitch, obviously these young boys will have to compete against our other established players, but doesnt competition bring the best out in athletes?!!!

Anyone a member of koptalk, would like to know what their mata and aguero updates are

We need a player who will play 60 games a season who is lightning fast, strong as an ox and can pick a pass out from 70 yards.And can shoot with his right and left feet and smash headers in from 18 yards.
Then we will be happy. {Ed002's Note - Don't start to Joey Barton rumours again.}

I know someone who ticks nearly all those boxes and more he's called Steven Gerrard

Even recently when he'd finally accepted his fate he quoted: "At least I seen five European Cup wins. It could've been worse...I could've been a Man Utd fan." That was Gilly in a nutshell - laughing in the face of adversity once again.

14 players are suppose to be on there way out from anfield, joe cole, jovanivic, poulsen, n'gog etc. They arent seen as good enough players and are costing way too much in wages to not be played. This would then mean that liverpool have quite a few more signings prepared for this summer, hope dalglish brings in some surprises for us :)
******************************************

it probably only means that we are trying to clean the account flows...it is very likely that even if we managed beyond all expectations to get rid of 14 players from the books we would still only bring in about 6 players. Until the Stadium Naming rights are sorted out - perhaps within a few weeks - we are unlikely to invest ridiculously in a way that cannot be supported by the current income flows. This is where FSG are superb!

Massive news out of Melwood today!!!
I was just walking past Melwod earlier on today when I heard a big round of aplause coming from inside, I decided to investigate and try and find out what all the comotion was about, I manouvered myself into a position where I could see a massive crowd of people all standing around a magician, the magician had his back to me and I couildn't see his face at first, from what I could make out he was a good magician with some very interesting ticks, I watched for quite a while thinking this is a rather nice way to spend a Wednesday afternoon, for his last trick the magician really pulled off a massive trick, he proceeded to pull Sergio Aguero out of a hat, it was unbelievable and for a while I was thinking WOW Aguero at Liverpool! Then I remembered that magic is not real and it was just a trick, after such a rollercoaster of emotions I was feeling a little deflated and seen as the show seemed to be over I was just about to get down from my vantage point, as I was on the verge of jumping the mjagician turned around and I noticed it was infact the legend Paul Daniels, now everyone knows that Paul Daniels is Charlie Adam's favourite magician and as the crowd despersed there was Charlie himself talking to Paul. I noticed that Adam was wearing a Liverpool FC trainig kit so i decided to investigate and use my extensive network of inside informants at Anfield. I discovered that Charlie Adam is now a Liverpool player, he signed for £8.5 milion and will be presented on Friday.
Always correct,

Ed which two wingers would you prefer out of Downey, Mata, N'Zogbia, Cazorla and Johnson? {Ed001's Note - I wouldn't touch N'Zogbia, only Cazorla is a right footed winger so I would have to take him for the right and Johnson or Mata for the left. Though I wouldn't choose Cazorla myself, I would prefer Pablo Hernandez myself.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 16:15:32
Why are liverpool linked with N'Zogbia. He is awful

15 Jun 2011 15:46:34
hi eds ! it seems that we are more closer to cazorla than mata ! villareal valued him 20 mill and will sell to liverpool ! stated in the spanish newspapers and in lfc tv ! what do you think ? {Ed001's Note - I hope not, I am not impressed by Cazorla, technically brilliant, but he doesn't have the heart to keep going if he gets crunched.}

I havent seen much of either player but cazorla is a much more likely target, because as much as I'd love to see mata for us I just cant see him coming to us when hes got barca/city etc offering him big money and CL, hopefully Im wrong though, great site eds.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 16:12:35
Eds please post this because frankly people are being a bit silly and some perspective is necessary.

How is it that people can't understand that for all the world Alexis Sanchez may look at Liverpool and simply see a sixth place team? A Roma, a Lazio or a Juve? Is that really an upgrade for someone like him or more of a sideways move? Same goes for Neymar, Aguero et al. Just because we CAN buy a player for 35 million pounds like City, Chelsea and United can doesn't mean we interest the kinds of talent they are after. We can't offer European football and we may not be able to offer the weekly wages those other clubs can.

Liverpool under FSG, DC and KK are trying to build a sustainable model for present and future success. Nobody has seen Downing, Adam or Henderson play with Stevie, Suarez and Carroll. That might be good enough for a top four place and then after that who knows the kinds of players we'll be able to bring in? Keep it in perspective. YNWA.

Whats the chances of shaqiri coming i thinks he a really good player and one for future would be good to snap him up and also what is jeffren like does anyone know? because if he was really good big clubs would be chasing him right ed? {Ed001's Note - you can't judge how good a player is by the teams chasing him.}

15 Jun 2011 16:07:59
Maybe we should get this guy, Zoran Tosic, excellent winger, wouldn't be expensive.

Take a look at this

15 Jun 2011 16:07:17
Hey, what do you think the chances are of signing Jeffren Suarez on a scale of 1-10?
Do you think he is or will be good enough for Liverpool?
And how much approximately would he cost?

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 16:06:42

Thanks

15 Jun 2011 16:04:13
man u look to be trying to sign sanchez, which would mean if he chooses trophies over a large pay check each week, that johnson would be unlikely to move to anfield unless man city find another good quality winger.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 15:56:02
I hope the rumours about Santi Cazorla, Downing and Adam Johnson are all false...We need wingers in the team who are going to chip in with a few goals.

A winger who'll bag a goal every 4 games, like your Nani's, Ronaldo's, Bale's, Kuyt's and Maxi's (To name a few.

The players at the top have a poor goal reutrn ratio.

Cazorla Scores once every 7-8 games
Downing = Every 9-10
Johnson = Every 6-7

And Mata = Every 4

I'd much prefer him to the other 3 and if we were to go after and buy two wingers then i'd go for Johnson, But for the love of God please let the other 2 be just RUMOURS.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 15:54:59
A Question to the Ed or anyone else who might know:
What is the state of Martin Kelly's rehabilitation program? I would have thought he would be back to full fitness by now but seeing as he is not with the U21 squad in Denmark I suppose he is not? Will he be back in time for the start of pre-season training?
Anfield Rapstar {Ed001's Note - I thought he was due to report back to training with the rest but I don't know for sure.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 15:51:57
Ed, you heard of any interest in Santi Cazorla? Pepe seems to rate him highly, just wonder if you have heard if the king will listen to Pepe? Rather have him and Mata than Downing and Johnson even though they are both English. {Ed001's Note - well we have been in talks with Villareal, so I don't see any reason why it couldn't be him, though I have always assumed it was Musacchio we were after. But it was conjecture based on the type of players we have been targeting, I still think a centre back is currently the priority, hence the move for Jones.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 15:44:59
Can someone pls explain y we would sell meireles if we sign adam. Meiriles was awesome 4 his first season in the EPL .

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 15:44:43
Hey Ed, I was wondering if I could get your opinion on why we are looking into so many central midfielders?

We currently have: Gerrard, Meireles, Lucas, Spearing, Henderson, Shelvey and Aquilani to come back.

We have 7 central midfielders, and seeing as we are looking for the left winger, Kuyt will surely be playing on the right after his fabulous second half of the season. Therefore we'd only be playing 2 central midfielders if Carroll and Suarez were to be fit.

Macca has just told us that Adam is to sign, making us have a total of 8 midfielders. Gerrard is likely to start each match, which leaves one spot for seven plays, how does this work?

Can you shed any light on who will be offloaded from these midfielders?

Thanks Ed, {Ed001's Note - well Kuyt is a striker, he played his good football at the end of the season up top, not on the right. Henderson and Gerrard are both perfectly capable of playing on the right, in fact Gerrard's crossing ability is a very good reason to put him there. Shelvey is likely to go out on loan, Aquilani doesn't want to play in England because chipping your nail varnish or someone breathing a bit hard on you doesn't result in a free kick. So we need more to give us options in the middle.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 15:15:05
Who is Macca and how is he connected with this site?

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 15:14:40
Look at the quality difference between our players rivals linked to players ala; Pastore, Neymar, Sanchez, Modric, Pato, in contrast to what we linked to, Downing, Wickham, Adam. Just sayin.Ed? {Ed009's Note - We'll just have to trust Kenny won't we? What's more, those are arguably the bottom end of the players we've been linked with, I'm certain there will be some surprises in store}

What ever happened to developing and unearthing talent? Trust the club they know what they are after. Also pastore was signed 2 years ago for less than 5mil why buy them for 40mil if you think you have identified that quality before it is shown, we employ lots of people to do just this

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 15:14:18
Charlie adam, stuart downing etc are nkt the quality of player that we need. Surely neither fit into the young policy as they are 25 and 27 respectively we need to look at mata and get him whatever the money

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 15:13:15
just looking down the posts, some guy who wrote the list of liverpool players out is obv not a liverpool fan, he put tom ince as being free to leave, hes 1 of the most highly rated players coming through.dont look at squad lists and guess!

15 Jun 2011 14:52:21
Eds, didn't see our last 4 signings coming. Meireles, Suarez, Carroll & Henderson. I'm not trying to discredit their reputations. My point is that FSG know who we are after & they are working diligently to sign the players that KK & DC have identified. FSG has already £70-£80 million on 3 players but people still believe they don't have any money. We were willing to pay in excess of £16m for Jones. To make a long story short; Expect Lfc to challenge for the league next year.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 14:51:30
Hey Ed and readers,

Although most people believe that a 'galactico' name will not be moving to Anfield, I still have my doubts on this and my theory behind it, is one that im sure will coincide with that of FWSG. I think they said the transfer policy would be to sign Young, Talented and predominantly British. The keyword being 'predominant'. I think by not signing a 'Galactico' or 'Big name', it would give little hope to the fans and not scare our opponents, regardless of KK in charge. We all know we will not shy away from spending money (i.e, Carroll) so this tells me that we will be signing atleast 2 massive names in the world of football. As long as they are 'young' and 'talented/have potential' then Liverpool will be sniffing around for sure. I hope this is the case but there is some logic behind the madness.

I hope atleast 1 of the following will sign for Liverpool this summer: Aguero, Neymar, Pastore, Hazard, Mata, Hummels, Jeffren or Adam Johnson

There is always a possibility with the money we are prepared to pay in fees and wages.

(please post in rumours!)

Thanks

15 Jun 2011 13:31:06
ive just read, weve bid,
16 million for adam johnson
downing is quoted as 20 million
mata 18-23 million
nzogbia 10 million.
arent these all left wingers? where is the rumours on right wingers. ed can you update me please. {Ed009's Note - It's all about squad strength. We certainly won't get all four, but even if we got two we'd be in a far stronger position than now; Johnson and Mata can both fill in on the right, or in Mata's case just off the striker too}

We may not be looking at right sided wingers at all - Glen Johnson may play RW with Kelly at RB. Also, Kuyt can play RM and Hendeson has said he is willing to play wide midfield. Suarez can also play right or left on the wing or in a front 3. Not necessarily ideal, but possible. Only spend were needed.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 14:42:09
according to Eurosport, Bojan's agent says "After Euro U21s, if Roma are interested in Bojan, Barcelona will negotiate the transfer. Bojan needs playing time to grow as a player". He also added that he expected Sergio Aguero to join Real Madrid.

Will Pastore, Pato, Neymar, Sanchez cut it in the Premier League or will they be more like Dzeko, Shevchenko, Veron, Forlan, etc?

Just read in the Guardian that Newcastle are looking at Barnetta from Bayern Leverkusen for 6 million. Surely at that price he'd be worth a look? If downing is being quoted at 20 million quid as reported this morning.

I think you're missing the point of LFC's transfer policy. KK wants proven EPL players to play in a rotating squad to keep the opposition guessing. Yes £20m is too much for Downing but would you prefer to keep El Zhar & Degen for wide positions?

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 14:35:20
i am postin this to say that people who keep saying that transfer being mentioned are not good enough need to relise that buyin all the best players isnt always the best way we need players to suit liverpools way a no1 nos that better then kk remember te old days teams had bettter players but no1 could compete with liverpool as a team so who kk wants is going to be the best for us and they wil make us strong again

if its true that hiddink will go to chelsea and take arda turan with him.i will be gutted.he is a class player and as also said he would love to play for us.he is the 1 winger that would change any game in our favour...what do u think ed...p.s. i know he, s bound for atm but what do think anyway cheers YNWA... {Ed001's Note - I will trust the club's decision on this, what I have seen of him looks good and he is a fan, but I am sure they must be basing a decision not to bid for him on good reasoning.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 14:30:23
We are interested in defensive midfielder Anita of Ajax.
Also i think we should drop the interest in Enrique and concentrate on buying Clichy as he is a better player and would cost a lot less. What do you think Ed? {Ed001's Note - I don't rate either Clichy or Enrique personally.}

*** BREAKING NEWS ** BREAKING NEWS ***

Liverpool FC this afternoon announced they will be conducting all of their transfer dealings in an open manner and will keep the fans and media fully informed of every development.

LFC spokesman, Ian Incredulous, said:
"We have now decided not to conduct our transfer dealings in private and play what the fans would call 'our cards close to our chest.' With so much gossip and rumour from fans, we feel it is in the best interest of our rivals to announce early what our plans and targets are. This will give our rivals a better chance of snatching our targets early and pipping us to the post for some of the players we have been tracking."

In a follow-up statement this afternoon, Kenny Comoli said:
"We have decided to push to sign some of the most promising young talent and we have contacted Xabi Alonso and told him that we need him. We did this after a spate of postings on various websites alerted us to the fact that he was recently in Liverpool and that he had once played for us. By announcing everything we are doing in the transfer market, we hope to drive the prices up for players we are after and keep the fans fully informed."

Despite the complaints from some fans that Liverpool FC was going back to its old ways and conducting its transfer dealings in private so as to grab the best players at the best prices, the club has conceded that this is not the way many of the fans on forums and in the pubs want to do things.

Toby de Vere-Burns, senior PR consultant for Hedges-Walker-Mizak based in London, said:
"This is a brave move by Liverpool. They are playing a great PR game. They are keeping the fans fully informed and onside and ensuring that although they will pay 2, 3 or even 4 times more for a player because of this, they will keep all the fans who post on websites happy by announcing their intentions. This is to be applauded .... we think."

Finally, according to Sebastian 'Our Kid' Moss, head of the Committee of Liverpool Open World Now Supporters club (C.L.O.W.N.S) this is what the fans have been pleading for.
"It has been ridiculous that we - the fans - have had to sit back and wait for Kenny Comoli to sign players without telling us what was happening. This is not acceptable. If only the club had kept us informed, then we would have been able to pay £25 million for Jordan Henderson rather than the lowly £20 million touted figure. What the club must realise is that without us there wouldn't be anyone to bitch about not knowing what was happening in private and behind the scenes. If we are to prevent the club from signing people like the lad from Blackpool, or that lad from Real Madrid, you know the lad, the one who played for us a few years back, then we have to know what's happening. When the club does badly next year, then the club better not start blaming Damien Dalglish before us. That's our job as without us, where would any of us be?"

The marquee signing that DC and KD want is Fernando Llorente, DC first made a enquiry back in January as to the players availability but were told to come back in the summer. The price is believed to be 30-35 million.

Something must have been lost in translation here mustn't it? Maxi Rodriguez, the same Liverpool footballer who had found his best form in a Reds shirt in the final weeks of last season and had vocally stressed he wanted a long term future at Anfield, is believed to have said that he wants to leave Liverpool to return to his homeland.

Perhaps this section of what Maxi is believed to have told the tabloids in Argentina is right (however he might have meant at a future date?) however the winger can't really have said that he would like the Reds to release him from his contract? With two years left on his existing deal even if Kenny Dalglish might be prepared to part with Maxi I'd doubt that the club would let him leave for nothing.

Tabloid hacks have a habit of coming out with the wrong things so this is most likely what has happened here, with some of what the Argentina international is believed to have said anyway in my honest opinion. Surely that must be the case!

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 13:44:29
Not a rumour as such Ed but please post anyway.

I believe we need to consider what shape/system Kenny intends on playing when speculating about signings this summer.

In Liverpool's glory days under Kenny, 'Pool nearly always played a 4-4-2 system. It was the way to play back then and despite fashions of 4-4-1-1, 3-5-2 and under Rafa 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2 is still the most popular system.

However, with the signing of Henderson and the likely arrival of Adam we could possibly be in for a surprise!

If we are to play a 4-4-2 with Carrol and Suarez up top then I would expect at least one winger to join by now instead of two midfielders, unless Henderson is earmarked for the right wing position for now.

A lot of the wingers that have been linked with us over the past few months, with the exception of Downing, can play as kind of a second striker.

So it could be that the midfield will be a three with one of the new boys playing in a three with Gerrard and someone, like a Mata maybe in a three up front with Carroll and Suarez.

Whichever system we choose I cannot, I regret to say, see a places for Meireles. In a 4-4-2 with Gerrard in the middle, you would expect Lucas or Adam (maybe Henderson) to partner Gerrard as Meireles is too attack minded.

So in short if we go for a 4-3-3 I would expect a signing in the like of Mata and If we go 4-4-2 I would expect Downing.

In Kenny's glory days he generally played 4-4-2 with one winger (Barnes) and more solid in the other side, like Houghton or Nicol.

Food for thought... I think these are valid points, signings depend on the system, Either way it could be bye-bye Raul.
Great site Ed and very addicitive!!

I can say with ABSOLUTE certainty that David Villa will NOT be leaving Barcelona this season, the signing of Rossi will just mean Villa will be used on the left, with Rossi in the centre, then after kickoff the front 3 would roam and cause havoc as they usually do. Just because Barca are signing players it doesn't mean they're planning to move their stars on, the most likely highish profile move could be pedro(maybe).

Villa----------Rossi---------Messi

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

No.
Pedro or Villa? Based on last season Pedro every time.
Xavi - Busquets - Iniesta

Pedro - Messi - Rossi

If Rossi and Fabregas are both signed for Barca, a Liverpool vid of around 20m would be well worth a shot. Villa has come out and said in the past that he wants to play in the Premier League. Villa Suarez Carroll? Oh my God.

You have a Transfer rumors manor!? Do you all live there? Isn't that a bit expensive? {Ed001's Note - it saves us money by all sharing one place.

Trust LFC 100% to sign the players we need.
From what I have read on FSG are not the type of company to waste MILLIONS & MILLIONS!! Every potential signing would have been scrutinised by the board before approval given, no matter who the manager is!!!
Our club is in the best hands for us to move up & up!!

is there a possibility we could sign adam johnson, ithink he would be a super signing, and would complement both luis n andy c.

1 more thing i really do hope the king gives few of the talented kids a chance 2 gain some prem experience, we got some cracking youthies..

15 Jun 2011 13:58:33
Can I just try and clarify something here ED? I cleary remember Henderson playing on the right hand side of the pitch a lot for sunderland, until later on in the season... I believe that Henderson will be used predominantly as a right winger with Adam/Lucas and Gerrard in the middle and what ever winger we sign on the left, Henderson is possibly the reason we are only being linked with left wingers, as we have Henderson and Kuyt for that flank {Ed001's Note - and Gerrard had his best season on the right as well.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 13:57:41
Why are we on here moaning about the standard of players we are linked with. We just have to trust KK and see what happens. Look at the difference KK made from January. I'm sure there will be a few surprises along the way with transfers so lets see what happens. Downing/Adam would improve us as we need more depth in our squad. When you looked at the bench last year it was full of very poor players, Cole/Poulsen/Jovanavich/Ngog to name a few. Lets get some young british players in first then look at the foreign players.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 13:54:36
Dave Maddock makes an interesting point in the Mirror today. We have to ship out a load of deadwood on massive wages before we make anymore big signings. We've got 13 fringe players draining £30million a year out of the club. Question is, who will buy these players? Half of them will want to sit on their backsides and see out their very lucrative contracts. As much as I've seen players linked with a move to Liverpool, I haven't seen many rumours linking deadwood players with a move away.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 14:15:02
I think people questioning the transfer targets should feel ashamed because they will be the same people that slated Lucas for being weak at defence but he was an attacking midfielder I believe we have a very bright future and we are going for the right people Adam, downing, wickham, and mata would strengthen our team in the right places, I just hope we seal a left back soon as that is our main problem

I think we should walk away from the Adam deal; he's not worth the time or the money - not when that oyster fellow tries to squeeze us for more money, especially since the Scum has also indicated their interest...btw where's that ratbag Sydney who was laughing at us about buying Adam??

15 Jun 2011 13:35:29
Liverpool have been talking to City about Adam Johnson for months and were never told he was definitely staying. Of course it will depend on who City bring in but people at Liverpool have been confident for a while we'll get him, or at least a green light to bid for him. He's one of the top targets.
We're also moving for Scott Dann and Bojan Krkic. Among others of course. I hope we get all three. And I hope something miraculous prevents Marveaux from signing...

Also, is anyone else displeased/concerned with the Warrior kit deal? Obviously happy about the money but I fear for the future of our kit. I like adidas...

Liverpool will sign:

Henderson (done)
Adam
Enrique
Cahill
Downing
Wickham

Doni (1st July)
Marveaux (1st July)

Store this message & judge in August. These 8 players will be Liverpool players for next season.

What's your view Ed? {Ed001's Note - my view is that there will be surprises in store and no one will get it completely right, including you.}

*******************************Doni has rejected a move to Liverpool; we offered him less money than he is currently 'earning'.

Hi Ed's

Please post this. As much as I would love to have Xabi back i dont think it is going to happen this season. Lots of people may say he is in liverpool and put 2 and 2 together but they are wide of the mark. A friend on mine has a contract i think its the colenade buildings doing some maintanence in the albert dock. He told me the Alonso's own the 2 penthouse aprtments there. He said Xabi's wife is in liverpool a lot and its due to business commitments and Xabi comes over fairly often himself. He loves the city and the club but for now he aint leaving madrid. Should madrid make him surplus to requirements he would love to come back but i cant see that. If you watched him in La Liga he was the midfield catalyst who fed the attacking players and played almost every game.

So people chill he isnt coming

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 13:18:10
Maxi wishes to end his career in Aergentina, I think we can reduce the wage bill by letting him fulfil his dreams.

On the other hand Chelsea seem to be in pole position to sign Arda Turan. I for one will be gutted if I see him terrorising defences on the TV next year in a blue shirt.

I rate him much more than Downing and I wish kenny would go for him.

Well you learn something new every day. And today i learned the phrase 'manure' comes out of the Munich tradegy.

As someone who has always referred to Man Utd as 'manure' because of the s**t connection which is really apt, i never had any idea there was a reference to the Munich incident.

I'm going to have to change my ways after referring to them this way all the time for the last 30 years.

And i knew i'd start something with my list but

RED LENIN, MUSHROOM are added and Adam (ynwa) i am reading obviously from your last post.

Just wondering about the Alonso in UK thing.....

Maybe King Kenny was asking his opinion on a player? He seemingly has done the same with Reina about Cazorla (or so reported)....

Maybe he was asking about a Spanish player or Real player?

adam johnson, bid not accepted and will not be joining:
conor wickham as i understand may well be off to spurs? they remain firm fav's with possibly dos santos moving the other way:
a.o.chamberlain, his dad wants arsenal, the player wants arsenal, the club want the player so i doubt he is anfield bound?
charlie adam a big fat yes on that one!
peter crouch, mixed signals here! the player is not desperate to leave the w.h.l outfit more so the w.h.l outfit want him out! they want to keep defoe and pavluychenko & sell crouch & keane! so a return to anfield for crouch is a possability?

20 mill for downing? Are villa having a laugh! Lookslike coz weve got money to spend and with the expensive transfers of Carroll and Henderson that everyone thinks were daft! I wouldnt want us to spend 20mill for him, i would rather buy Park Chu Young, he's exactly what we need he's quick can score goals can cross a ball and never gives up just like Suarez and Kuyt. He would cost cosiderably less than Downing too. Also Vurnon Anita who we have also been scouting should be bought too imo.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 12:22:13
I cannot believe the Steven Gerrard rumours on this site. You're obviously bored kids who've nothing better to do or you're simply not LFC fans.

Steven Gerrard will be at LFC for the rest of his career - he's playing for the team he watched and supported from the Kop as a boy. He's led them to European glory, captaining the side for some 6/7 seasons now...effectively he's living the dream.

He finally has the chance to work under Liverpool legend King Kenny..can you imagine how he feels about that? SG has one medal to gain to complete the collection...a Premiership winners medal aside from Ryan Giggs and a majority of current/former United players there aren't many modern professionals who can boast such accolades!

I've watched Steven's body language for years now and this is the most up beat he's been for some time - he, more than anyone else want's the club back where it belongs and he undoubtedly can see that under Kenny the club is going in the right direction at long last!

Steven will have been told of the transfer targets for the coming season along Pepe and Carra...no doubt he's had some input too!

So, for all you doubters out there...post something useful on your own site...or get back to the PlayStation...muppets!

Jonny Boy.

All these talks of us gettin Baines from Everton are false. Good quality left back but es not gonna move across Mersyside. Plus with the high valuation of English players Everton wil hold out for over 15mil? Y dont we get a cheaper and better alternative in Aly Cissoko from Lyon? Previous target Monreal has moved to Malaga from Osasuna?9 mil wil guarantee Cissoko and has Champions league experience so it makes sense to acquire him. Dann for 9 mil if Cahill cant be got for less than 15mil. Keep up the good work Eds.

In response to ( a minority) some people posting.......Dont you see the hypocricy of singing the words 'you'll never walk alone' while at the same time saying certain liverpool players , who have given their all should 'sod off' ?. ok , so you dont think lucas, spearing, ngog are up to the clubs standards, thats fine , its your opinion and you are entitled to express it (and i love this site for allowing all sorts of opinions to have a voice) , but what i believe sets this club apart from the vast majority is the way in which the club, the fans carry themselves....with respect and dignity and not to resort to immature name calling, and vulgar descriptions of our own players as 'deadwood' and 'useless' ect.

When I was a lad my family was the only one is the street with a telephone. Nowadays every kid from 6 upwards has a mobile phone with a camera. Lots of photos are taken of ' happy slapping' so my question is why all these sightings of players at Anfield or Melwood or arriving at JLA are not appearing on the Liverpool Sightings site? Obviously if one person sees a famous player that others must do so as well. I shall be glad when this artificial (and I' m sure against European Law) is finished and we know exactly who are going or not going to be at LFC next season!!

liverpool to sign adam, downing, clichy, dann, wickam, mata, oxlade chamberlain, henderson[done deal]and doni. these are the rumors at the moment but i feel some of these are smokescreens i mean Liverpool spend 20 million pounds on Henderson[a good young player]but is unproven.bids are flying everywhere.obliviously they have some money to spend. alot more then we expect. by the way ed are c.adam and s.downing that good really.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 11:10:08
Could see Adam Johnson signing as he only played a bit part for city last season. With City's shopping list as long as my arm, this would put AJ down the pecking order. My point is that he certainly wants to play week in week out. Will he get that opportunity at City next season? The boy's got talent, and would be a the winger we need to supply Carroll. He certainly has the chance to become a world class player, BUT only at the right team!

GERRARD
i cant believe even for one second LFC would consider selling steven gerrard, he would of played on under rafa or woy, and had his operation at the end of the season then struggled to get fit for the new season, when it was announced he was finnished for the season i was gutted, but thought of the benefits to come, i agree with the decision to write the end of the season off and get a proper recuperation after the op, we will see a very different steven gerrard this coming season, able to give 100% for the first time in years KD knows this so forget the stupid transfer rumours regarding steven this will be his best season for liverpool for years, bob paisleys skids

All theses people commenting about peoples bad grammer. This site is a liverpool rumours site not am english lesson. In the uk and also our worldwide fans it is not affordable to have a high standard of education. Majority of people in the north west have a poor standard of education and living. Some come from poorer back grounds where football is there only outlet from the bad parts of there lifes. Am not saying this is a bad thing. But really it should not matter if people spell things incorrect or have a slip on the keyboard not everyone is perfect. The main thing is that these people your criterising are liverpool fans and we are all meant to be one big family and support each other. Rant over

Hi Ed,
I Live in Anfield just a stones throw from the ground & as there is always there is whispers coming out locally about signings ( a lot of the time they are rubbish ), but the past couple of days there has been very strong rumours about Xabi Alonso coming back, even to go as far as there have been some hush hush meetings, apparently he will be a direct replacement for Meireles (are we reallty thinking of selling him?) also Adam Johnson & Gael Clichey are rumoured to be 1st choice instead of Downing & Enrique (Apparently we are using the later 2 as smokescreens so nobody pitches in at the 11th hour). and finally there will be a big signing for around the £25-35million mark, possibly a Striker or a real creative flair player, (heard about Aguero but can't see it to be honest).Apparently Deals for our well know targets of Adam, Dann & Wickham are going smoothly & are close.
I know its a lot Ed but can you cinfirm about any of this, would love to go back in the pub tonight and tell a few people to stop dreamimng :0 {Ed001's Note - it is hard to say, Alonso has been back a lot, he has definitely spent time with Kenny at Formby Hall, but there was some kind of do on, a wedding or birthday bash. Who knows whether that was why he was there or not? I would be surprised if Kenny didn't at least pose him a question about returning while he was here. But I don't believe we would move for Adam if we could get Alonso.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 10:46:14
Hi ed, just want to say, bloody great site mate. Question: Who would be your preferred signings this summer for Liverpool to challenge for a top 3 finish, maybe a push for the title within the next couple of seasons? {Ed001's Note - Alexis Sanchez, Juan Mata, Keisuke Honda, Aly Cissokho and Fernando Llorente, oh and Javi Martinez.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 10:45:52
Goal.com (not the most reliable of sources) saying that Park Chu Young available for 6m euros. With N'Gog leaving for a similar amount, I think we should move for him. As well as playing as a striker he can play out wide too.

magine If Hodgson Was Buying British Mediocrity...
I'm going to write a mail now which will easily anger the (easily angered) Scousers and my fellow Liverpool fans. I expect to be met with furious anger as the Redmen come out searching for me with firey sticks with their half-burned effigy of Roy Hodgson being held aloft like a trophy (with it being as close as we get to a trophy these days). But I'd like to stress I disapproved of Hodgson being appointed last summer, I agreed he was the wrong man for us and I was happy when he was finally given his marching orders. His press conferences were moronic, attitude defeatist, tactics out of date and submissive and expectation level in the basement.

However it seems to me Liverpool's two managers in recent months are treated different by the fans for doing some of the same things. I'm seeing fans on message boards say "we cant criticise Kenny, he has more experience than us, so shut up!" funny, we had no issue criticising the experienced Roy back in the summer and more violently in December. Obviously results speak for themselves but it is interesting how we've gone from a boss who can do no right into the exact opposite. Roy was never afforded that luxury before a ball was even kicked.

Roy Hodgson spent £4million on an experienced left-back and everybody howled with anger, threw stones and tantrums and called Roy a brainless idiot, as poor as the signing turned out I'd liked to have seen the reaction to Roy Hodgson spending £20million on an unproven kid that we DONT NEED. Imagine if Roy Hodgson had sanctioned a £35million deal for Andy Carroll to replace Fernando Torres (that one would've melted the internet). Imagine if Roy Hodgson had taken Fernando Torres off with 15 minutes to go at Old Trafford in the FA Cup (would've been painted as the sole and only reason we lost). Imagine if Roy Hodgson had presided over a goalless 180 minutes with SC Braga which sealed our elimination. Imagine if Roy Hodgson used Glen Johnson at left-back for the second half of the season. Also, Hodgson was kicked for using Raul on the right, yet Kenny was let off for the same thing. Imagine if Hodgson was in charge for the early games with Carroll where we did nothing but hoof it long. Imagine if Hodgson spent £20million on a kid we dont need and then set about pursuing a Championship Scottish midfielder for four times his true value that we also don't need. Imagine if Hodgson's number one winger target was an overpriced average Stuart Downing, but yet Ashley Young go to United without even showing an interest. Imagine if Roy Hodgson had stated that "your birthright doesnt get you a game here" (quote from Dalglish) to then in June state your targets have to have a British passport and you will pay quadruple the odds regardless of value or ability. Imagine if Kenny Dalglish had come out with innocuous comments about Pacheco, I dont think he'd have got the "f**k off football terrorist" remarks Roy got on F365 for the same thing.

Obviously results speak for themselves. Kenny recorded top four form with Glen at LB and Raul on the right, and that's what matters, Roy nearly got us relegated. Roy did a lot of things wrong (oddly his 25 points from 20 games would've seen us finish with 47, the same as his West Brom side finished with and only one point above Fulham last year). The football under Roy was turgid and under Kenny it's much better. People will say "yeah but Kenny won games doing that!" yes you're right, I dont disagree and fair play to him but on a general note, making a general point having a fanbase which refuses to question a manager due to what he did 20 years ago is a dangerous game, just as dangerous as not trusting your manager at all. Kenny Dalglish may turn out to be yesterday's man chasing the early 80s dream, I hope not, but it's possible. But it's still interesting to see how the fans react differently dependant on reputation. At this rate I'm beginning to think Kenny wouldve even been praised for spending £5million on Christian Poulsen. Yes, yes you heard me.
Martin (YNWA)
(copy and pasted) {Ed001's Note - this is complete nonsense, Kenny has a proven English league winning record, he has also shown that he can get more out of the same players than Hodgson managed. Of course we should have faith in a man who has proven worthy of that faith, rather than a guy who proved he didn't have a clue what was needed.}

If liverpool have had a bid for johnson accepted then why isn't it on the website, ssn, bbc etc? I think johnson would be a good signing. Younger and better than downing. But only time will tell and we have what 2 and a half months until the transfer window shuts. No need to panic :)

Sergio Aguero
we are 3rd favorites to sign him now instead of joint 2nd with chelsea.

real madrid remain favorites with juventus 2nd and us 3rd 4/1 gone up from 3/1

i do think if we got with carrol and swarez we would win the premiership next season

also papers are saying 20 million for downing he is not even that good. he not really got any pace.

if we can sell a few players and instead of paying 20 million for downing lets go and get sergio aguero

Can you explain this? Excuse my ignorance - I've never used it myself, but I've seen it on here for months but didn't realise it was anything different than calling Arsenal The Arse. Obviously, if there is history it's totally inexusable, but if people that use it don't know it will continue. {Ed001's Note - it originated from a song about Munich, regarding the bodies of the dead being heaped like manure or something along those lines. So, even though almost everyone uses it as a play on words and don't realise the reference, it is still better that we don't use it.}

Morning eds, pals. Eds, you do a very marvelous job here.

Firstly, a question for blair. Blair, can you please remind me of the month last year in which you and James007 were led to believe that we were being taken by some billionaire? I ask this because I discovered this site a month before then so i want to identify how long I've been on this site.

Cheers and thanks in advance.

Secondly eds, I want to know in your opinion do u think it is likely and good we do sign Mata, A. Johnson and Marveaux who are all left footed for our wings? I will be very happy if we do coz I think are all versatile and capable enough to handle both wings.
Lastly I want to congractulate all the eds for making this site lovely especially ed001 for making this site and ed002 for giving us accurate informations. Thanks to other posters for keeping us going especially macca, blair irish kev, mushroom just mention but few.

Sorry for the lengthy post, Eds and Blair pls answer.

Cheers

FAMOUS {Ed001's Note - I think it would be great to have all 3, finally we would have some strength in depth and all of them can play in other positions as well to provide cover if needed. It would enable us to be able to keep our best players in their best positions and get the most from them.}

Hi Eds great site as per usual. Just wanted to say can we please stop with all the distasteful comments about other clubs. We are LIVERPOOL FC and we are the best supporters in the world and we know better!! RIP to all those players and fans that have been lost over the years. You deserve our respect and you will always have mine no matter what club you played for or supported. End of rant, any truth in Johnston from City coming to us??

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 09:35:45
I am buzzing!!! I met DC by chance at a petrol station a week ago and asked him if we're signing Hazard and Mata this summer... He grinned and said sorry he could'nt disclose anything but was shure Liverpool fans will be very happy at the calibre of players that will signe for us over the comming weeks!

LIVERPOOL face paying £30MILLION in wages on their unwanted stars next year if they fail to shift them.

That means the Mersey misfits pocketing the same as the yearly payments on the club's debt in the dark days of Tom Hicks and George Gillett.

Kop flops like Milan Jovanovic and Joe Cole alone trousered around £12m between them in a disastrous debut season at Anfield.

The Reds are keen to offload a dozen players who have no chance of action in Kenny Dalglish's Anfield revolution.

Yet with many sitting on sky-high contracts signed under the old regime, moving them on is proving a huge headache. And that has left Kop bosses staring at the prospect of forking out £600,000 a week plus on what is effectively deadwood.

Top earner amongst those unwanted men is Serb Jovanovic, pocketing half a million each month under the terms of his free transfer arrival from Standard Liege.

Midfielder Cole is not far behind, on £110,000 a week, yet neither man went close to holding down a regular place.

Jovanovic made just five league starts last season, costing the Reds £1.2m a game.

Christian Poulsen arrived from Juventus touted as one of the great contemporary Danish stars, yet kicked off only nine times in the league - around £300,000 a match.

The problems hit Liverpool full in the face a week ago when Anderlecht and Bruges - both keen on Jovanovic - did a swift U-turn on learning the size of his wage packet.

And if relegation did not shatter any hopes West Ham had of taking Cole back to Upton Park, the size of his salary certainly did.

If that is not bad enough, Liverpool's training ground will be flooded with returning loan "stars" next month, if they fail to find takers.

Italian Alberto Aquilani spent last season at Juventus but neither they or Milan will pay the asking price for a man who cost £20m two years ago.

Aquilani featured twice for Liverpool before being packed off to Turin and his nine league starts have cost nearly half a million each. Paul Konchesky made 15 league starts but lasted just six months before he was loaned to Nottingham Forest.

Others returning are Moroccan Nabil El Zhar, who was at PAOK Salonika last term, and Swiss full back Philipp Degen, who was with Stuttgart.

It is a harsh reality check for fans convinced King Kenny will be leading them to a serious title challenge next season.

American owners the Fenway Sports Group have so far been true to their word and backed Dalglish's plans with hard cash - as in the £20m they paid for Jordan Henderson.

Others set to follow are Stewart Downing, Charlie Adam, Connor Wickham and Gael Clichy.

But one thing is for certain, any return to the glory days under Dalglish will not be on the cheap.

-----------------------------------------------------
So surprised how much these useless nitwits earn especially that headless cock who runs all over the pitch! They love the money, they didn't love the club! Joined us as we offered sky high wages!
Roy Hodson has cost us more money than i imagined, how wonderful it had being if Purslow gave the job to Kenny from the first place! Kenny was begging for it!

Hi , Ed? do you think we can get rid of them this summer? Surely we cant keep them all! The only one who might stay will be Maxi ! Konchesky, Poulsen, Cole, Jovanovic, Aquiallni, Degen, El zahar, Insua , Kyrgiakos, Ngog, i expect to leave! Isn't it ? {Ed009's Note - hopefully they will all leave, Degen of course as his contract is expiring, but its just a case of finding prospective buyers. I also think Cole will perhaps be given another season along with Maxi}

So if City dont sell to their rivals, what are options for players there particulary the British and Home grown one's that want to or are no longer needed.That once you join here , your f***ed if you ever fall out of favour.You might have cost 20 mil but your not going to a top 6 side, your options are mid table or abroad. Like it or lump it.I know Adam Johnson didn't cost that much but Barry and Milner did cost roughly 40mil between them.Is that really what will happen to these guys if City no longer require them.I dont get them at all.Here's hoping that they listen Mancini and get shut of Johnson but he aint gonna go to any mid table team sureley.Liverpool must be in with a shout if he has had enough and City are willing to sell.Who else is gonna buy him but clubs that can afford him, which by defination are most probably going to be rivals of them league table wise.Maybe someone an ed or anyone enlighten me why a player moves to City with such a high turn over of players each year.They cant all be on 2 hundred K a week like Ya Ya. Jonny Boy6

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 05:33:07
I think a rule must be introduced to stop clubs from signing their players to 4 or 5 year deals just before selling them to drive up value, perhaps if a player signs a new contract they should have to honour at least 1 year, or even half of the contract before being allowed to negotiate with other clubs.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 05:11:49
According to talkSPORT, Sergio Aguero is about to sign for Juventus.

We didn't need him anyway!

Right, now before i crash for the evening, some key spelling mistakes. I don't care about small grammar errors, or typo's. However these are becoming so common, and are just blatant:

Adam, not Adams
Johnson, not Johnston
Meireles, not Mierless
Gulacsi, not Hungarian Kid
Steven Gerrard, not Stephen Gerrard
Robinson, not Robertson
Lucas, not Lucus
Henderson, not Hendarson
Manc, not Manure. No matter how much we hate them, show some respect for the dead.

YNWA! (Adam)



re: if you are going to pull people up on spelling errors, you could at least make your post perfect. i shall point your error out, "grammar errors" is not grammatically correct i am afraid, if you replaced grammar with grammatical you would have been fine. i digress, please dont start pulling people up on small errors they have made, it will only deter people from posting rumours they have heard, which is to the detriment of the site. this is a rumours website so why deter people from sending their rumours in? please post in rumours ed's, we don't want the grammar police in association with spell check patrol coming out in force!

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 03:37:15
come on lets be honest here. carroll is s**teeee!! we are hoping for it to be pulled off... half our team is s**teee, and still hoping to pull it off... and let be realistic now our new signing are s**teee and everyone we are linked with are s**te.. the only decent thing we got in liverpool now is kenny back, gerrard, carra, merieles, suarez and reina...

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 03:35:07
Anyone else think Antonio Valencia would be the perfect right winger for us? I think he would bring out the best in carroll, although I no it would never happen as fergie rates him so highly and would never sell him to us lol..

{Ed010's Note -Yes, on Sky TV during the regular season. Usually two live matches on both a Satuday and Sunday and occasionally three per night. Later in the season Sky also show matches from Copa Del Rey and those matches are generally on a Wednesday or Thursday.

Nice one mate, i fully understand - it's nobodies fault but the people involved in it including myself.
I'm thinking i might just drop the "Irish Kev" sign off in favour of another sign off as that seems to be a trigger in itself to some people.
So maybe just "Kev" is the safest bet?!

Aintree Dave,

I'm not jealous of Macca's site. If he genuinely has some inside info, fare play to him. However, even I could have guessed Downing and Adam would be targets. As for Suarez, thats was obvious in December. It was in every single paper and Comolli went to watch him many times. Freidel to Spurs was obvious as soon as they bid. European and First team football, or Bench football for a rising club? He is 40. He'll be retired before we get anywhere.

Sorry if I came across as jealous, I've only been on this site since Early January, and from what I've seen, Macca's been unaccurate a lot. As for Dalglish, are you joking me? I think every fan was saying his name.

Prove me wrong Macca, as a wise man once said, "Things can change", much like my opinion. I look forward to your posts, but lets be honest, If anybody but you claimed we knew players we'd be slayed for it...

YNWA! (Adam)

P.S. Saw a post about regular posters, and I wasn't there! Every day you'll find ;) This site has basically replaced facebook for me haha!

Inter Milan are preparing a £14m move for Liverpool midfielder Raul Meireles.

The Portuguese international, 28, is facing tough competition for a place in the Liverpool side for next season with the club landing Jordan Henderson and making a move for Blackpool captain Charlie Adam.

The reports say that Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti would welcome the deal and the Italian giants could soon be in touch with the Anfield outfit about a transfer.

Liverpool only bought Meireles to the club last summer and the creative midfielder was voted the PFA Fans Player of the Year for 2010/11.
Forza Italian Football

Ed001, i would like to apologise for my part in the carp that happened on the "Manc" site last night - i shouldn't have let it rise me a little & i hope you can forgive / understand me lol!
It's like a red rag to a bull when what was said is directed at me or my fellow Irish, especially when it's a football banter site & somebody decides to lower the tone.
I certainly don't accept it was ok for them to say what was said to me but i also retaliated when i shouldn't so for that i apologise!
Maybe in the future the editors could stop the stereotypical bigot comments getting posted?
I know i have had this conversation with you previously via email & you guys do your best to keep it off - to be fair ye posted my nasty comments in return so thanks for that lol!
So anyway to summarise i apologise!
Cheers,
Irish Kev. (It's up to you if ya want to post this but it's mainly a personal apology to you as you run the site). {Ed001's Note - no need to apologise, the editor on there was a new one, he is still finding his feet on dealing with stuff like where to draw the line on banter.

Hi all, great site eds and mostly great comments reds!!

Is it just me, or am I the only one who would prefer Adam Johnson to Stuart downing?? I think if we want proven premiership (british based) players then Johnson is a better option than downing! I'm no expert on who would cost what but I think it would be more sensible to ho for adam johnson than mata too (even though I do think is a quality player). For me, I'd bring in Charlie Adam, Adam Johnson, Gael clichy, offload some 'waste'. I think these signings would bring more variance and attacking threat to our game, otherwise, as quality as Suarez is, he will get dissed out! We need multiple threats that teams can't deal with, along with strength, depth, youth, skill and experience amongst the rest of the squad, which I think the above would bring.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 00:59:51
bale + Adam Johnson connection was flying around back on 5th june. but if i was man city, i wouldnt give him to english team. Man city has the money to buy up talent so rubbish players are left for the likes of liverpool. f

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 00:55:54
ed, i know its a bit off the current topic of discussion but do you know of any news reguarding the stadium/anfield redovelopement?? {Ed001's Note - I don't know what is happening there, I am not even sure a definite decision has been made yet. There is a lot to look into whichever way they decide to go, both avenues have so many advantages and disadvantages.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 00:52:44
Adam Johnson, Juan Mata, baines, Adam, Henderson, Wickam, Doni and Dann will be the Liverpool buy's... Roll on the next season for 19th title and FA Cup double! It's a great time to be a Liverpool fan.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 00:51:57
uno y we neva end up in the top 4 anymre its kuz we always buy players that wil compete against others teams as they r now but they always end up 1 step ahead of us buy signing even better players n leave us behind e.g wer lookin at downing nzogbia etc wen man united r trying 2 sign sanchez n chelsea want pastore n sneijder arsenal r gna get gervinho and man city want every1 how we suppose 2 b a top 4 team with ppl like downing nzogbia n charlie adam.......

Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston has confirmed that 'preliminary discussions' have taken place with Liverpool over Charlie Adam but insists it is too early to speculate on the level of interest in the midfielder.

is the chairman trying to start a bidding war? {Ed002's Note - Why would he want to do that?}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 00:41:24
downing not worth 20 mill
nzogbia not worth anything
adam over priced
enrique overpriced
mata pay what they ask (well worth it)
izzegura (celtic) worth the money.
my view i know, but is it worth buying british when the clubs put too heavy a price and most wouldnt be good enough to wear an lfc shirt. whats your view ed.

I think people are counting Meireles out too quick. Whereas once we sign Adam we will have alot of center mids we need to remember these facts. Firstly is that once Kenny took over Meireles rarely played in a real center mid position. He played behind the striker for a while and then out on the right in a very attacking position. Second is the style of play we played under Kenny. Once we were past his first few games where we played a 3 man defense it seemed to me that we played this way. The four across the back, two true center midfielders and then 4 attackers aligned in a way that best suited the personnel in the game. Those 4 had tremendous freedom to move around the pitch and swap positions. In fact sometimes Id read analysis of the game in 3 different places and theyd have Liverpool down for 3 different formations. This is because they front 4 moved around so much and swapped positions it was impossible to nail down which position each played.

Now having said that it seems likely we will have Gerrard, Henderson, Adam and Lucas as center mids. Then it seems for our 4 attackers right now we have: Suarez, Kuyt, Meireles, Maxi, Carroll. We need a couple more guys to have depth. Lets say (hopefully) its Adam Johnson and Juan Mata. We'd have basically 4 quality players for our 2 central midfield spots: Gerrard, Adam, Henderson, Lucas. Which gives us great depth right there, the ability to sustain injuries and keep players fresh. Then among our front 4 (no matter how we arrange them) we'd have these 7 guys: Carroll, Suarez, Mata, Johnson, Meirles, Kuyt, Maxi. Just like center mid we'd have excellent depth, could survive injuries and rest guys.

You can't win a title with 11 players. We've seen that Kenny likes Meireles to play in an attacking role so I don't see how signing center mids means that Raul may leave because Kenny don't play him in that position anyway.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 00:30:26
hey ed, this is the first time of posting, have viewed all comments ove the past 2 weeks and to be honest dont think much. some of the prices being quoted on the alleged british players that lfc are meant to be after are ludicrous as half of them havent even played at the highest level to merit those inflated prices. in my opinion all though kk would like british, it would seem more fitting to go abroad in july and get younsters that way also get some decent proven players with pedigree. (and cheaper). please post and tell me your views.

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 00:23:51
to the person who said this....

Not a rumour, more an observation - much as Blackpool seem to be playing a game, I don't blame them for trying to get as much as they can for Adam. Why should they accept 8-10m for their club captain and best player, when we payed 20m for Henderson (however promising he may be)?

Same goes for Downing (though I still think we should break the bank for Mata). I'm not so sure we're doing ourselves any favours by paying top dollar, having initially put in derisory, ultra low bids - it's not fooling anyone...

(not to put you down or anything but henderson was a premiership player with a solid contract, whereas on the other hand, charlie adam is currently a championship player in the last year of his contract, who personally wants to leave the club)

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 00:11:27
Valencia just confirmed the signing of Dani Parejo from Getafe. Ed, does this mean Mata could come or give us a greater chance of getting him?

YNWA {Ed001's Note - it certainly can't hurt, they are defo planning for a future without him.}

 

 

 

 

15 Jun 2011 00:09:44
Asamoah Gyan anyone?

Ed do you think we should attempt to sign him? and what do you think the chances of us moving for him are?

he could play as a front 3 or 2 or by himself and i reckon he could be very handy. {Ed001's Note - if we end up signing him I will be disappointed, not good enough and I don't believe we have shown any kind of interest in him.}

rumours of chelsea offering 20m euros for turan so why are we not entering the race.from turkish football.com

Turkey national team manager Guus Hiddink sparked speculations regarding Arda Turan making a move to Chelsea after he was reported as telling the 'Blues' that they should make a move for the Galatasaray playmaker. After weeks of rumors, Turkish newspaper 'Vatan' has today claimed that Chelsea are lining up to make a 20 million offer or a two player part-exchange deal which would see Drogba and Bosingwa swapped for the Turkish international.

Hiddink was quoted as saying, 'Arda could easily play at the top 6 clubs in the world...In England he may struggle physically for the first 3-4 months but afterwards he is likely to be a huge success. He is a little soft physically but this can be sorted out. Arda is a hardworking player and adapts and follows instructions well. Its time for him to make the move and Galatasaray should let him go...'

Ed, So if this Adam Johnson thing is true then is mata out of the conclusion? {Ed001's Note - I don't know, I haven't a clue who is first choice and second and who depends on who!}

 

 

 

 

14 Jun 2011 23:20:10
Why would Roberto Mancini let Adam Johnson go? It doesnt make sense because of the rules stating so many homegrown players in the squad and ontop of that hes got so much ability!

I hope its true like dont get me wrong coz I hate the thought of Stuart Downing in a red shirt. Hes an average player who is overrated. Hope your right about Mancini ed!

I feel that the chances of getting adam johnson are fairly high as mancini does not want him at the club as stated before by ed.

In my opinion it has to be johnson ahead of his former middlesborough team mate downing as apart from the fact that he is sometimes selfish is a better younger version.

I believe that we will sign johnson along with charlie adam, connor wickham, juan mata (July), gael clichy and also scott dann

It could cost another 60-70 milllion to bring in these players at most which would be helped by a few number of players going out the door for small fees but releasing massive wages, which am sure NESV would be willing to invest this amount on top of the jordan henderson fee.

I dont see any reason why with these additions along with an already strong revitalised squad under daglish and clarke cannot challenge for the league but i dont want to get ahead of myself ;) ..

How did the millionaire Charlie Adam pull a Ms UK contestant??

I wud not be supprised if we sign adam johnson cos he is unhappy at city cos he never gets a game and wen he does he is frustrated cos he gets subbed. Also aswell city will av a clearout which will bring better players who want CL football so basically he knows he was used. Another thing KK wud go for him cos he is young and british and very good.
