I for one am happy Benitez is gone. . his latest tirade is the kind that broke my spirit during his tenure with the Reds. I feel for the Inter fans.
Right or wrong. .you do not air your undies in public. It is something that poisoned Liverpool for years (even if we had Frik and Frak running the club) For what it is worth, Roy has more honor than the mustache man!

Just been watching psv on espn and dzudszak scored a good goal and the commentator said he is in double figures for the season also toivenin(spelling) is playing attacking midfielder and having a good game I know he has been linked with us in the past but maybe if we offered babel and money we could get both and maybe that would help them settle into English life why do you think on toivenin? {ed's note - I am no convinced Toivonen is good enough from what little I have seen.}

Ed what do you think of dzudszak (spelling) of psv whenever I have seen him he looks pacy direct and a good final ball also young and a decent goal threat I think he would improve our immediate first 11 and could get better and better? Just my opinion any thoughts or opinions welcome.

To be honest I don't mind if we don't buy any English players obviously prem experience is better but I think there are some foreign bargains out there to be had!

Also I have faith in the new owners and I believe no news is good news I know it's difficult but we need to be patient in the window and hopefully commoli can work some magic I believe there will be a suprise or even two sit tight redmen! YNWA {ed's note - I have only seen him once, he didn't have a good game, but he did show a bit of pace.}

Ed,

I just happened to read this joke below (in the net). . . Found it funny. . .please post this. . . .no offences meant. . .

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A primary school teacher starts a new job in Manchester. Hoping to make a good impression, she tells her class she is a United fan and asks the students to raise their hands if they too support the Red Devils. Everyone raises his or her hand apart from one girl.

The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, 'Let me guess, Mary, you support City, right?'

'Nope, I support Liverpool.' Mary replies.

The teacher can't believe her ears. 'Mary, why are you a Liverpool fan?'

'Because my Mum and Dad are from Merseyside, and they both support Liverpool.'

'Well, ' says the teacher. 'That's no reason for you to be a Liverpool fan. You don't have to copy your parents. What if your mother was a prostitute, and your father was a drug addict, what would you be then?'

'I'd be a United fan.'

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

For those who have read it before, please don't me. . . . .


Enjoy LOL. . . . . .You will never walk alone. . .

Hi ed just a quick comment about Martin Skrtel, i really think he is an awful defender, dives into the back of attackers and cannot win a header without fouling plus no positioning sense. i think we need to get rid and get a good experienced centre half because carra will not play as much anymore. what u think ed

Yeah I agree. RM said earlier this year that no spanish players would be leaving and then guti and raul left. Granero is not seeing too much action though and I think we could get him at least on a loan and see if he fits into our team. But what do you think of those three players ed? Would they fit into our team? Mata's name has been bounced around on here for ages but do you think he is a bit lightweight for the PL? Negredo and Granero I think would be fit perfectly in my opinion.

As a massive lfc fan i would like to see liverpool fc buy sensible but the names getting thrown around at the moment really worry me like c. cole from west ham er no been around a while and really no good. especally liverpool fc honda would be a good signing also benaga polson i believe was an inpulse buy by roy i believe he was trying to buy him at fulham but then left and brought the deal with him. i went to watch the robotniki game at anfield and d.pacheco linked up with cole brilliantly play the pair more.

what i needs to happen

1 roy must go.
2 take sammy lee with him (legend yes good coach no)
3 whatever manager signs take on phil thopson kennydaglish and ian rush as staff.
reasons- phil tompson (motervation)
kenny daglish (premiship champions medal
experiance)
ian rush (legend striker in the final third)

The spirits of Christmas future shall turn into a brighter new year sparking a big turkey dinner with thanks givin' (guffaw!) to the nesv men Werner & Henry who shall arrive with the gift of a new manager. . .And maybe some Milan friends. .

Beware what we wish for at Christmas. . one italian signing will instill turmoil within the ranks. .

Who cares about Christmas? Bring on the transfer window! Not that i think there will be whole sale changes or big money spent but because any changes and money spent won't be done by Roy and this will be the first time that NESV will have had to show their hand in public instead of just doing vague interviews. Something which i hope is the catalyst to Roy's departure and the start of major change at our club. As i said not expecting many new faces but hope the ones we do get are of a higher standard than not just our squad players but our first team as that is the way we should always have bought. Its the Liverpool way. I have my own views on who i'd like but to be honest i just want to see what actually happens now. Fingers crossed!

Yeah I agree mate, Negredo is an excellent young striker. I am suprised Madrid have not used their buy back clause because they do need another striker now that Raul has left. It is quite amazing how everyone is so infatuated with the Barca youth system but if you think about it Madrid's is just as good. RM just buys more players so their quality youngsters do not get as much of a look in and are forced to move on. Juan Mata and Negredo both came up through the Madrid youth system and are top drawer players. Granero is another excellent young player from their system, and he is not first choice there. I think we should have a look at him because in my opinion he is like a spanish Schweini. Can play on either wing or as a central mid. Ed do you think Madrid would let us talk to Granero? And what about those other two players who came up from la castilla, Negredo and Mata? any chance of getting them?

Liverpool should NEVER EVER think about having Mourinho as a manager. . . . I like him but I am a Liverpool supporter first. . . I don't like what he does. . .His style is to hit the football people at other clubs below the belt. . . . .We must admire him for what he is but NEVER HIRE HIM. . .

Ed,

Now that Bayern have been successful in keeping Schweinsteiger, I believe that we should put in a 20 million plus bid for Thomas Muller. . . . . . .

I think he brings everything what we are looking for in a player in the attacking third. . . .

He is young, strong, intelligent tactically, humble and hard working. . . . One thing we can be sure that Bayern will fight to keep him but he has scored only 5 goals this season. . So they might just give it a thought. . .

And unlike many other players, he doesn't get injured often. . . . . Wot do you think?

Guys (and girls) Can we knock this tosh about Ronaldinho on the head please. This is not going to happen, he's too old, too fat, too carp, and Coca-Cola notwithstanding, I would hate to see more of this kind of player coming to the PL for a big payday and doing naff all. Look at Pires for dear's sake, thank God we got rid of Houllier. No Ronaldinho please, we want that kind of player when they are 22, not 42.

Yes, but he was in charge of that scout system. He DID find Modric, Kaboul, Assou-Ekkoto, Gomes, etc., I'm sure of that, he sent out the scouts because he had seen the players previously and thought they were worth a punt (for example, Assou-Ekotto came from Lens - every Frenchman knows that Lens academy is generally a gold mine)


er no he didnt, when camolli came to spurs he had his own targets and modric not being one of them, gomes was suggested by big pat and funnily enough tony adams(? ?), modric had been tracked ever since he went on loan into the bosnian league (or one of those former yougoslavian leagues, i know it was a league where he was gonna kicked from pillar to post in order to toughen him up), guys i undersatnd your general knowledge of your club is good but its not the greatest when it comes to other teams!

I don't think Hodgson is attempting to get us any higher. The negativity of the man is unbelievable. It seems to have been permanently ingrained within his head by Purslow and Broughton, when I don't think things need to be so negative about the direction of the club.

Here's a thought. One way to completely revive the flagging Europa League is to give the winners a CL spot. That would make teams take it seriously, and to win that competition would deserve a place. TBH it would transform the competition.

Considering Peter Beardsley was probably the last British record transfer fee asociated with the club

Was it not Collymore?

Theres no need for splitting hairs, either way, the point being its been a long time since we were dealing at that level and the trophy cabinet stands testiment.


NO worries mate, wasn't trying to split hairs, just pointing out that even though we could break the transfer record in 95/ 96, it would still be 10 years before we could threaten the CL, and 12 years before we could threaten the title. And we did that without even approaching the transfer record. I guess what this proves is that we do not need loads of investment IF we get the right management.

To lfc fans. Would you sell torres to man city for 35 million + Adam Johnson. Then with that 35 million we buy Llorente for 22 million. We have 13 million left. Ask nesv for 7 million. Use 20 million on hulk and get pienaar for free.

New team

- - - - - - - - -renia- - - - - -

Johnson- - -Carragher- - Agger- - -Auerlio

A.Johnson- - - Meireles- - Gerrard- - Pienaar

Llorente- - - Hulk

We could then sell carp like Aqua, Babel, Maxi and poulson to invest in a decent back four. Can you rate that team offensivly. I think the attacking 6 players are all top players and there are no star players who everyone would rely on.

I hope NESV spends as much on the us as the red sox's. Considering they just spent 148 million dollars(95 million pound) on 1 guy. You could buy any one in the world except messi with that or 4 to 5 world class game changers. With that money we could get honda, suarez, llorente, mata, and sanchez, and still have money left to buy a left back
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sorry mate but you're a bit off the mark here. American sports work very differently when it comes to player transfers/ contracts. When we hear that the red sox signed a player for 148 million dollars that is the total sum of money that the player is guranteed through the contract. It is not a transfer fee. It is more easily compared to signing a player on a bosman.

Also NESV does not work like that. They let red sox invest profit (which are quite significant) into the playing staff or developing the facilities of the club. That is their goal with liverpool, to let us invest the money we make back into the club. Without the debt, we are a very profitable club and they want us to be even more so, hence their emphasis on the importance of what Ian Ayre is doing.

Does anyone else find this Rafa situation a bit ridiculous? He is now complaining about the Inter squad, a team that one everything last year. Honestly, he is using the same "we need 4-5 additions to be competitive" line. Maybe that was true last year with Liverpool, but how could Inter have won all those trophies with a so-called substandard squad. Benitez is just not a good enough manager and I hope we have heard the last of the "Bring back Rafa" pleas.

Maybe you should read up on it, as you would say. It's no sectret that Mourinho wants the Man United job. He admires English football and players like Sneijder and Cambiasso have came out and said that he wants to come back to England and Man Utd is the job he wants.

I totally agree with you DLG, my post was not to judge him, it was merely to make a balance and highlight he will make mistakes like everyone else , its the nature of the business.
I think its foolish to judge him or NESV for at least another year from now, all the posts commending or discrediting them is premature to say the least.

I agree too. I still believe top players want to play for Liverpool, not just because we are a famous club but because we pay well.
Also I wish fans would just wait and see what happens over the next 18 months before making anti NESV comments. I like most fans have a problem with Hodgson remaining in charge, but I now believe we have a lot to be positive about after ridding the club of the main causes of our problems H&G and their debt.

If Damien Comolli is going to be signing players on the hope that the LFC manager can make them successful at LFC , ther is going to be some hit and miss as Damien Comolli is not picking the team - only the new signings .

He can only be judged on that . The LFC manager will just have to work a little bit better .

One thing is clear Damien Comolli has a job to do at LFC , player recruitment is his opportunity to earn his corn and he will be given a chance to prove his worth in due course .

His role is a definate one and he will be expected to work as hard as everybody else .

It will be interesting to see who he thinks can perform at LFC long term .

19 Dec 2010 16:10:08
The massive wage bill at LFC might impede a dramatic squad overhaul , LFC is paying 'superclub' wages to Europa League players and worse .

The income at LFC has improved drastically under Ian Ayres and will continue to be developed , NESV will certainly permit all of those funds to be used in the clubs best interests , and will surely look to make an impression through recruitment when it is financially viable .

Losing players like Joe Cole , Milan Jovanovic , Christian Poulsen and Paul Konchesky would put the club in a healthier position .

If LFC are going to sign a new central midfielder , hopefully at the expense of Christian Poulsen (a throw back to the days of Biscan and Diao) .

I hope LFC sign Josip Ilicic of Palermo , he is tall 6ft 3" , skillful and only 22 years of age .

As a new signing that would really interest me .

I think if Roy Hodgson was to sell some of his poor signings in January it would go a long way with the supporters , he would go up in my estimation if he sold Christian Poulsen and Paul Konchesky , and should he bring in a striker and move on Milan Jovanovic it would at least appear to be the right sort of effort - considering our poor goals return , and the expense of our free signings .

I wouldn't pay too much attention to anything you read this week. Journos need to justify their pay same as usual so with no matches on they are revving up their nonsense to make page fillers. They arent getting out and about speaking to people and neither are the players, the coaches, the mate who works with carra's brother in law, your super agent school friend or the taxi driver in your family who has just given a lift to Honda's party from jla to Melwood etc

Have a look at:

Its very telling.

Roy

it is interesting but at the same time alot of rubbish really , players who he bought in that were better after they left spurs that isn't comollis problem that harry didn't pick them , it shows that comolli was right to bring darren bent to spurs but harry dint play him sold him , now look bangs in goals for fun for sunderland week in week out , for sunderland! imagine if he started up top with torres or drogba he would score a bucket full of goals , same with kevin prince boateng comolli brought in a youngster with potential , didn't reach his potential at spurs but then he didn't play a massive amount of games but must be half decent if he now plays for ac milan , as for some of the players like d.murhpy etc he might not have had the budget that season to buy £10m plus players and had to get cheap experienced players.

You can't judge comolli before hes even step foot through our door , wait and see what happens , i think you will be surprised , if he fails and buys rubbish players , then judge him , but give him and NESV a chance , and we could have a brighter future at the club.

Pity for Milan Jovanovic , he must have thought his hard work ethic would work in the Premier League , and yet after a few too many starts on the left wing he is likely to leave having never been given a chance as a target man , even David Ngog has been preferred all season , maybe it's best Jovanovic leaves if he is not going to be given a square go .

Hi Ed if Hazard is stating he wants to move to a club that will ensure he gets regular football doesn't that give us a chance of landing him? Havnt NESV stated the money is there for the right player if they become available?

If this is the case why don't we try and steal a march on other clubs with a bid.

We do need players in jan if we have any chance of landing 4th this season which is what we should be trying to go for. At this point players can see this is still a possibility of happening so we still have that prospect to potential signings.
I think if we don't sign any quality in jan and don't make 4th that would put off players signing in the summer

{Editor's Note: A lot of clubs have shown an interest in Eden Hazard - but Arsenal is seemingly his preference. I doubt that he will be moving to Liverpool.}

- -
Yes, but he was in charge of that scout system. He DID find Modric, Kaboul, Assou-Ekkoto, Gomes, etc., I'm sure of that, he sent out the scouts because he had seen the players previously and thought they were worth a punt (for example, Assou-Ekotto came from Lens - every Frenchman knows that Lens academy is generally a gold mine).

If only we could find the next Messi. The kids are the future mate and with the 2 ex Barcelona academy blokes looking after our academy, I think we'll be alright. We have a few youngsters now who look extremely promising, and they play nice football. Pass and move that's what it is all about. We just need a manager who adopts the same philosophy.

I can appreciate that he is toward the final few years of his carrer, but with Gerrard and Lamps etc etc i believe they still have 3-4 years of quality football to offer, again as i said a blend of youth and experience, Parker wouldn't be bought with the view to selling on but adding that quality and expeirence. He's a very very good player, we were looking at Barry for a time, Parker is far better all round and can offer us real quality in midfield, Lucas for me has come on leaps and bounds but he is still not consistant, and therefore if can be sold on for 10-12 mil i would let him leave, he has had a number of years to develope now and still isn't a liverpool quality player IMO. Parker has consistently played very well for many years now! That can't be disputed. And he is english, with Him Raul and gerrard all rotating throughout games i think they would hold the midfield extremely well. With a couple of quality wide men in the mix we would be fantastic, obviously with a new striker and 442 we would have to mix it up. If he (parker) were available for 10 mil i'd have him.

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

I'm sorry but Lucas has been one of our most consistent players for the last 18 months, and he's been played out of position.
Parker is no Gerrard. We need to spend money on the positions the team needs not waste it on positions we have ample cover.
So if it was your money you would sell a 23 year old Lucas, who is performing better and better, for £10m and buy a 30 year old Parker, who looks good in an average team, for £10m?

Its hard to know for sure how many players and who we will buy in january , each day we seem to hear hodgson and comolli say stuff on the subject , roy saying he wants five or six signings then comolli saying we want to look for players that will be a big part of the club for the next 3 4 or 5 years , then comolli saying there is no quick fix , its really hard to predict january for us but im sure it will be interesting.

I think nesv getting comolli onboard is a big statement that they do care and are interested in recruiting the right players for this club , comolli was respopnsible for quiete alot of spurs signings and now days they have arguably one of the best squads in the prem and comollis work is paying off for them this season and last.
spurs have alot of strength in depth , and while comolli was there he signed alot of decent young players for good prices , e.g

Bale ( roughly £6m with add ons ) - Now worth? god knows , the papers say £30m-£40m but i wouldn't like to guess a figure.

adel tarrabt ( not sure on price but think he was cheap ) - hes still only 21 , looks a player for the future and is playing class at QPR and is one of the main reasons they will probably be in the prem next season.

Younes kaboul ( £8m ) - Seems to be a solid centre back and getting better , still only 24

Berbatov ( £11m) - then sold him to the manky scum for £30m, not bad business at all

Modric ( £16m ) - quality player , well worth the money and probably now days would fetch £20million plus

I think the point is comolli is there to bring in some of the best talent and buy players that will add value to the club and that if we do sell them that we don't make a loss , e.g aquilani £20m ( great player ) but will probably get £12m back ( £8m loss ) , r.keane £20m ( sold him for £12m 6 months later ) another 8m loss , NESV don't wanna see this bad descions being made in the future , they want us to be successfull on the pitch as well as off it , they don't want us to be like man city where they might win a trophie sometime in the future but they would have made a £300million loss to get it.

No. Rooney from Everton to Utd was alot more than £18m. He is possibly still the British Record transfer. {ed's note - are you being serious? Rio Ferdinand cost nearly double that when he joined United from Leeds.}

You are right ed about Ferdinand. I think it was about £30m. But justb to clarify I was just saying Johnson was about £18m to Liverpool. I think Rooney was around £28m. So Johnson was not a British record but possibly a Liverpool Club record for a British player?


I think the second poster was alluding to the fact that the last time we broke the British transfer record was when we bought Stanley Victor Collymore!

I know the spuds are after him, but he is a fantastic player. I would make him my number one on the list!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

We do not need another CM. Priority is wingers and a striker. Parker is 30 years old and the Hammers would want a massive fee for him, not good bussiness.
I personallly would like to see us sign Honda (possability), Sanchez (unlikely) and either Llorente (unsure one way or the other) or Toivanan (possability).

MUSHROOM
==================================
If only we had bought Parker when he left Newcastle for West Ham. He was just about the right age then. He probably the wrong side of 30 now to have any financial gain as he probably will cost Spurs most probably £10m +. No sell on value therefore.

I think (and hope)torres will stay, if he was going to go he would have gone last summer with all the turmoil of the ownership saga. Yes his body language isn't great but is that not just a reflection of the whole teams performance. I believe he and the more senior players in the squad (sg, jc, jr) were given assurances in the summer by the new owners/ broughton and why go before we've had chance to impliment these promises. I strongly believe we will only sign honda in the next transfer window perhaps elija (spelling?) but I can see major ins and outs in the summer (with almost certainly a management change). It is then players like ft and jr will decide if they want to stay and i firmly believe they will. And they will be back to their best form. Hol

Hi people, who would your januray transfers be, and your transfer outs, if we do get the 35 mil that has been suggested i would love to have karim benzema, he is proving he is a top class player, suarez another possibilty or honda? wheather they would come or not is another dispute, arda turan, another possibility? i have read on the liverpool fc website that we have been looking at the right back of rennes fc, what about taiwo of marseille at left back? coz that seems to be a problem at the moment paul konchesky is out of his depth, adam johnson at man city, he looks like hes getting pushed out there, they at the moment play de jong barry and toure in the midfield and adam is mostly on the bench he would like to have a first team place but at city that's very unlikely, the outs at liverpool would be for me babel, jovanovic, konchesky, possibly lucas but he has shown lately that he can play, thanks for reading have your say

You also have to mention those that left Spurs at a loss, the likes of Zakora, Bent, Mido and Chimbonda.
Comolli, recommended 26 signings for spurs , of which less than 50% what you would call a good purchase.

When we first signed/ hired (whatever the word) Comolli, and googled about him , I found the following quote from martin Jol on Comillo :

"But I did not have the same relationship with the next man -Comillo-. I think the club wanted to invest in younger players because they wanted to make money on them in the future. The decisions were not being made for football reasons."

Sounds familiar?
Roy

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

No-one can guarantee that 100% of their signings will be stars. If Comolli gets near 50% (as you have said) for us, it will be far better than the percentage of successful buys we've had for the last 8-9 years. If we buy young players, sell them for a big profit to replace them with other young players and challenge for honours wilst doing this, I would not be against that.

There's not a lot of world beaters out of them players tho mushroom. Spurs only got top 4 last year with us being crap, yeah there playing well this year but that team won't win the league. It looks like Roy is here till nxt season and nesv didn't want to go through a transfer window with Roy on his own spending cash. Then maybe when a new manager comes in commoli sits in the background.

Would love us to put a cheeky bid in for tevez. Torres n Tevez up front would be unstoppable.
But i think we should go all out for Llorente and Juan Mata. This is becaus they have both proven themselves and are both spanish to please torres.

Mushroom bale was hardly a top find, a lot of the top clubs were in for him it just happened he went to spurs. Who else did he get? And don't count berbetov cause he was well known as well when he went to spurs. Spurs have spent a lot of cash I just don't remember them finding a gem out of no where.

Comolli Spuds signings:-
Bale - yes a lot of clubs after him but convinced him to go to Spuds.
Hutton
Prince-Boateng
Dos Santos
Taarabt
Kaboul
Modric
Assou-Ekotu
Gomes
Bentley
Corluka
Pavlyuchenko
Berbatov - convinced him to sign for Spuds
As you can see, a lot of these players are in the Spuds 1st team. None of these were exactly pricey signings either.

My mates dad is mates with comolli from his time in london and i have been pressing him for names for ages now. well still got nothing. comolli won't say anythin to him about names. but he did say there is no limit to what he can spend in jan and summer as long as the players are not too over priced and they can either go right into the first team or youngsters for the future. but the transfer windows after summer he will only have the clubs profits+ sales to spend. this jan he will bring in 3-4 players and spend big. maybe only 1 or 2 sales.

"Scott Parker" . . gives the impression he is a good player because of the teams he played for.
He is no more than average and no different or better to Meireles who is essentially a cover for Gerrard . so in short we do not need him.

No. Rooney from Everton to Utd was alot more than £18m. He is possibly still the British Record transfer. {ed's note - are you being serious? Rio Ferdinand cost nearly double that when he joined United from Leeds.}

Wow , I forgot United paid over 29m for Rio , what a waste of money . (he is decent but no way 29m considering they paid less than 8m for Vidic)
For anyone saying Rafa wasted a lot of money , the above is prime example that Rafas waste was not as bad as the PL most successful manager.

I agree with you mate, but we have a midfield full of under par players who cannot play both the attacking and defensive side of the game, as far as i am aware we will be starting to really trim the squad in the coming transfer windows and getting talented youngsters, we know that there must be a blend of youth and experience and scott parker is without doubt one of the best all round cm players in the league, at 30 we could give him a 3-4 year deal, currently he is up and down the pitch for 90 mins and is a proven solid player. Raul is begining to show his worth, but if the poulsens and even Lucas's are transfered out, besides xabi coming back parker would be the best player to bring us back to contension with the top challengers. Also in my post i mentioned Suarez and a young speedy winger, Maybe that maybe Honda. But as it stands our Midfield is still lacking as is the back four. Gerrard for me CAN NOT be replaced so if he plays behind Torres or in the cm role then Raul and Parker to rotate around these positions would be amazing. Honda for instance on either wing because i understand he is very versitle, and we really need the full back to be sorted out, Johnson pushed up for me with kelly behind is a quick fix untill the summer, and the LB really needs some thought, perhaps one of our youngsters needs a run out. But to get the team really making progress i say sell the kuyt, poulsen, lucas, babel, jova, think about J.Cole in the summer unless he can find his game, And add Parker, Honda, Suarez Llorente is fantastic but unrealistic, and another wide man of the Mata or Turan stature. Not them as such but that style of player.

I disagree with you mate on the CM positions. We have Gerrard, Miereles, Lucas and Shelvey (Poulsen a non-starter). You are under valueing Lucas contribution to the side. Parker is not that good. He is in a team that are probably going to get relegated so he stands out more.
As for Saurez, I would not want this cannibal at our club. He needs to be the centre of attention which means he will be no good for team spirit.

We do not need another CM. Priority is wingers and a striker. Parker is 30 years old and the Hammers would want a massive fee for him, not good bussiness.
I personallly would like to see us sign Honda (possability), Sanchez (unlikely) and either Llorente (unsure one way or the other) or Toivanan (possability).

To the guy that seems to think Fowler ditched us, what planet are you on. .zog? Robbie was forced out of the club by Houlier when he was sold. Jealous of his popularity. When Benitez brought him back, he was booked for speeding trying to get to the club quicker. He would still be there if the club had offered him a contract!

As for Dalglish, factually you are corret but you take now account of the mental starin the guy was under with us? After Heysel and Hillsborough maybe he thought that he did not want to carry on with management. He changed his mind later but should we blame him for that? He obviously loves the game and wanted back in later and the LFC role was not available so he went somewhere else.

Unfair on two legends is my view.

In all fairness Kenny was offered the job again just weeks after he left. He wanted it so badly but then Liverpool snubbed him and never called him back. Again before we appointed The Hodge we snubbed him again. Its a wonder he is still at our club. Kenny is a legend and should be manager now, if not for Hillsborough then I think he still would be.

No one can say that 11 million for Robbie wasn't good business for the club.He had started to have injuries, which in turn he had lost a bit of pace. The way it was done, was a disgrace and i was glad Rafa gave him a chance to say a goodbye to the club.Robbie with out pace didn't suit the style that Houlier was playing.I loved Robbie Fowler a true Icon, but 11 million for him was good business, Wasting the proceeds on Diouf was not.

You want to wise up sunshine, keep an open mind. I hope they prove me wrong but i'll never trust a yankee doodle until they deliver what they say their going to deliver. Until I see evidence of this the jury's out and given the nature of the modern game, I can't see any way forward unless they get the cheque book out. I can only interpret what they are saying as an acknowledgement that they accept that we are a mid table team for now and will apply a rebuilding formula that could take many years to yield results, if at all. If it doesn't, it makes no odds to NESV as they can walk away having enjoyed a period of high yield against their investment during a period of global economic contraction. Were they hoping to secure revenue off the back of a successful world cup bid? Who knows? If they had factored that into their forecasting, i'm sure the war chest for transfers will be even less. Nevertheless, Torres and Gerrard havn't got 3-5 years to wait for the rebuilding punt to produce, they need quality in the team now or their medal rooms won't host the type of silverware they'd like to be showing the grandchildren.

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

NESV have'nt had the chance to do anything yet with the team. They bought the club after the summer transfer window and can not buy anyone until January. They are currently restructuring the club from the top down. Damien Commoli was brought in to hunt for fresh new talent. Surely this is a step in the right direction. Just because they have'nt said they would spend hundreds of millions of pounds you start complaining. This is not how I would like to win. The team needs a complete overhaul as there are only a few players we should keep. GET REAL.
By the way, Torres is 26 so I am pretty sure he fits in with a 3-5 year plan. Do your homework numpty.

If it were true, it would be so typical of Liverpool to buy cheap and just hope a player performs. The players that are rated at £20M are usually world class - hence their price.

I would rather buy 1 world class player at £20M than get 3 in the shape of Diouf, Diao and Cheyrou again!

The Carragher new contract, puzzled the life out of me. It was the last bit of business Mr Purslow concluded and I am not surprised he was let go by nesv.He did not warrant another 2 yrs on his form of the last 18 mths, No pace at all, fouls all the time, Hoofs the ball all the time, Yes he will throw himself in front of a train for the club, but there is a lot more to defending. I also agree with the Dirk Kuyt point He will run all day but his first touch is awful, and his passing not great.You can't fault either players desire, but in my opinion we have had the best out of both players, their wages could be going to better technical footballers. NESV are right to be concerned about the way the club as been run. Sir Bob would have shown no sentiment with either player they would have both been replaced last summer.Konchesky, Poulsens, Cole and Jovanivic, would not have been signed with these owners.No wonder they said goodbye to Cristian Purslow.

ARE YOU CRAZY he may be going through a bad spell but i believe he is committed to our club hes like Mrs Benitez he feels Liverpool is his home why else would he and his wife choose to have their baby here instead of flying home to Spain.

And as for the rest of you who believe that the senior players are running the club and making policies believe me NESV would not allow this to happen they are the owners and they will decide the way forward

So if youer a red then stop making bad calls on the club and let those who know best get on with their jobs there will be no information coming out of Anfield and there fore no rumours or lies

Liverpool should go all out for Scott Parker!
I know the spuds are after him, but he is a fantastic player. I would make him my number one on the list!
Only other cm in front of him would be Xabi but honestly can't see his return.
Alot of names being thrown about but i can't see many of them coming, If the owners want to show there future intent then again i think Suarez should be bought, if 15 mil is the kind of fee being looked at then they need to get him now, liverpool have a theme of missing out on players over the last decade, lets put a stop to that. If a winger is to be purchased then i think we need a whippet of a player, similar to Nani for example. (although i hate the little Bell* d he has developed well) someone to really inject pace in the side, can whip a cross in, look at the game and if needs be is confident to take the defender on and score goals himself. Where will Joe cole fit in? If gerrard drops back with Raul and Joe can pull his finger out to play off the striker, but i guess we are looking 442 and cole is no left sided midfielder. I like the lad but he has lost his spark sinse his cruciate injury. If Aurellio can stay fit why not try him on the left of midfield, he has a bit of pace and is capable of crossing a ball, not ideal but if money is tight. If Insua is returning then perhaps he can play behind him. Kuyt needs to move on, he has been a major hindrance of late, he cannot do the fundamental basics to the league standard, his only quality is fitness. Although saying that he is played out of position and perhaps he should be our second striker, lets face it before he came to us he was smashing goals in for fun. Anyhow if we get three quality additions and NOT CARLTON EFFING COLE in jan then we may be able to push for 5-6th this term, i believe we have fallen short of chapions leauge football again. Not negativity just realistic view.

To the ed:-

R u seriously a Liverpool football club an or just trying to keep this site running to make big bucks. How could you ever edit a post of polling on Torres leaving and post it here?? ?Everyone proudly says, we are Liverpool Football Club and blah blah. Do they know what that means? ?It means we have a history of backing players who played for us and deserted us for better pastures. We have Fowler and Dalglish to be legends whereas the latter left our club saying he would never coach again and 6 months later was managing another club. Still we sing his name in the Kop. It always irritated me for it reminds me how short out memories are. He ditched us and so did Fowler but unluckily he never made success.

Here in Torres we have a guy who turned down offers which were way better than Liverpool and we doubt his loyalty after that? ?to the fans - ru nuts? Everyone knows how Manicni flew to Spain personally to make him an offer. His goal against Chelsea shows his class and dedication but he in a no. 9 of the modern era and not Chapman's where the no. 9 just ran like a bull straight front. This is a no. 9 who creates chances too. Remember Old Trafford where he got us 2 assists. Even if he is not scoring, the psychological fear he gives the team is evident in the game against Blackpool who were scared to death for the 12 -15 mins El Nino was on the pitch.

Torres is central to our squad and the pivot. He may not be scoring but we benefit from his awe and imagination. If Maxi cannnot finish the 1 on 1 with Gomes, it is not a problem but when Torres missed it against Crul (who in my opinion is more consistent than Gomes) all of a sudden the guy has lost his will to play. Seriously! 1 ru kidding me?? ? go take a football and play in ur backyard with ur kids on 1 side and u on the other. Try score without assistance from midfield and let me know how frustrated u feel running half the lenght of the pitch when u should be scoring.

Also, to the guys who doubt his loyalty, simple observation in the Newcastle game, after Newcastle scored the first goal, did anyone observe on the telly how he came back to assist Skrtel in marking Carrol when a free kick was awarded in the same position.?? it is not his job I guess, he could stay upfront saying he was ready for a counter attack. He cares and so should all of you. I am not sorry for this rant and editor I hope u post it on the rumors page to show respect for the guys loyalty and not his form. He is down in confidence as he has not scored so much for the last 2 seasons but he can't help it. He seems more frustrated with himself than the team. Do you observe him muttering to himself on the pitch?? only a guy frustrated with himself does that. .Simple body language to interpret. All human do it. next time when u do it to urself at work think of Torres and this post.

I shall use all my power to keep him at Liverpool, no matter what it takes.

To the ed, I know it is really long but I hope U understand how frustrating the good weather fans are as they would jump to wear a light blue jersey given a chance in 3 years or reason to do so.

Paul Konchesky also has a hologram which he sends to football matches in Liverpool whilst he sits at home in Cockneyland eating jellied eels playing 'knees up muvva brarn' on his spoons.

Ed if we win the europa league can we qualify for the champions league next season?

I'm afraid we can't. Europa league has no bearing on champions league.

Hi Ed just wanted your opinion out of the below who do you think we have a chance of landing in Jan window, and who do you think if any we will get?

A. Sanchez Udinese - no chance
S. Defour S. Liege - not in january
E. Banega Valencia - are we looking at midfielders?
J. Mata Valencia - chance defo
Carzorla Zaragoza - chance defo
E. Hazard Lille - unlikely (arsenal or madrid)
L. Suarez Ajax - possibly
C. Erikkson Ajax - good chance
K. Honda CSKA Moscow - 99% certain
A. Johnson City - THEY WON'T SELL TO US

Not sure if i know as much as the editor but i think this pretty spot on, ed?

{Editor's Note: Not too far away from my own thoughts - not sure about teh 99% - or indeed the last one.}

Lots of people on this site seem to think we may sign one or two players in jan and the main action will happen in the summer.surley that will be too late to keep torres and co? why wouldn't the owner buy some quality players now to keep the top players happy and to help to move into the champions league spots? if the owners have promised the like of torres that they will buy top draw players to we can compete we should trust that is waht will happen and im sure they won't risk losing our best players

I commented earlier re; my opinion of NESV and i'm afraid their transfer strategy contradicts the type of transfer strategy that would appeal and suit Torres circumstances. I think he's fully aware of this and that's why he's sulking around the pitch looking disinterested week in week out. To keep Torres happy would involve getting the cheque book out and to a large extent executing a bit of a 'drunken sailer' type spending spree to attract a bit of quality to salvage this season and compete for champions league football. This isn't going to happen as any suitable quality targets in the positions we are desperately in need of, don't satisfy their criteria. The type of players that fit their requirements aren't necessarily proven and are aa bit of a risk. They areworlds apart from the type of players that Utd, Real Madrid and Barcelona are looking at.
