Eds - why do you keep playing me in the reserves -
I'm always in the 'other Liverpool posts' - walking alone. If england played Rooney central - surely I deserve a chance too?

Hey, I'm glad they did, I didn't know the that page existed and found a load of my posts there!! Thanks. :-)

Rooney had a better game yesterday than 4 Liverpool players put together.

Agree0 Disagree0

You are kidding Home_Fan apart from the goal he scored which my grandma would have put in, he was inexistent in major part of the match.

Yes, But the rest were far behind him.

I was considering before tonight on the whole, if we sold Suarez for £90m it could be for the best. He is the best player in the world I honestly believe now. We can't let him go.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Truly world class player, totally transformed the Uruguayan side. Too many English players get labelled as being world class, the fact is they have none.

Agree0 Disagree0

World cup fever with our own players, this is taking it up a notch. Why did it take him two goals against england to make you realise that?

Agree0 Disagree0

Luis is incredible. He was shooting from corners. I wouldn't sell him for £120million. Best player in the world by a mile IMO eclipsing Messi/Ronaldo. Wouldn't surprise me if he did a Diego Maradona and won the World Cup all by himself

Agree0 Disagree0

He is clever, unpredictable, a nightmare to mark, see's things and opportunities quicker than anyone else and adaptive to what he needs to do with the ball regardless of how it is played to him.

Absolute quality player.

I saw Hodgson say Suarez would have to playwell at a world cup to be reuly world class and just shook my head thinking why why why motivate Suarez.

Header was amazing - 2nd goal great. Stevie went one an one with him and ended up on the floor - Suarez is truley world class.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 22:51:01
Expect a bid from Madrid with in 24 hours.
Half fit Suarez is world class. How about a fully fit Suarez would do to any team.
The second goal was the sheer anticipation from Suarez to take a chance and run behind.
The only thing England had to do all night was to take out Suarez. And guess what they failed utter.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Let them bid, the asking price is 200 million sterling

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would you want to give sterling too? lol

Agree0 Disagree0

200 million and a sausage roll bap might do the trick.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gutted for England but best assist from Gerard to Suarez for his second goal.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gerrard and Suarez have always linked up well!

Agree0 Disagree0

To be fair, was Gerrard not meant to challenge the Uruguay player for the ball? She*p happens. Its not as if he done something daft like slip when he was the last man! That would be plain crazy.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 22:24:55
I know it's probably a bit of MOTD fever but that Uruguay striker. Suarez I think. looked very good.

Liverpool should sign him up ASAP!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He has a dodgy knee. Would never pass the medical

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol. I don't know why but in all my time supporting Liverpool - we just have unbeliveable world class Strikers even though when some leave we replace them with another player whos better than the ones before! Rush, Fowler, Owen, Torres, and now saurez. Don't know if it's pure luck or we just have a fantastic scout in the strikers department.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 23:04:57
We can't afford him

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol Redawn

Man he is f#####g quality. Half fit and bang! On the money. We will do well to keep this guy.

What's ya thoughts Eds please? Talk to us.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I am not sure he would get in the team, looked a bit out of shape as well, he was shattered by the end. Anyone would think he had only just recovered from knee surgery or something!}

Blind pass from Gerard to Suarez. They have Liverpool in their blood.

Ed if you were to allow harry to be ed001b for an hour a day to give Ed002 a break and call it Harry's money hour where Harry just discusses transfer fees, agent fees, signing on fees, contract fees basically anything money related would be hilarious.

Although sorry Harry but i'd be concerned you couldn't grasp the widget.

I haven't posted on here in a long time and I have my prom today. (Advice with the ladies ed?) But What do you think about Henderson and Gerrard's performances at the world cup and what do England need to do to beat the better teams at the tournament? Would a 4 1 3 2 work?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - just make em laugh mate, mix it with a few compliments, and you should be fine. As for the rest, wouldn't it be better to take that to the World Cup page mate? We do have one on the main page for these kind of questions, and it makes more sense to discuss that there where other fans can have more input.}

19 Jun 2014 15:06:22
Although I understand lovren will be everyone's preferred choice
but see in as he might be expensive and other clubs are interested in him whi would you like to see us go for from the following list
Hector Moreno
Steven Caulker
Martin Hinteregger
Marcos Rojo
Stefan De Vrij (no interest just a random name)

Ed 001 and all others feel free to join in
my choice would be Hinteregger (it is based on the one game I saw him against Uruguay)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - some of those aren't centre backs! I would rather do without than sign Caulker, he is no improvement on what we have. Personally I would rather try Ilori and Kelly out than go for someone I am not sure of.}

19 Jun 2014 13:38:14
Hey reds, a bit of nostalgia for you, of the former reds say starting from the Benites era, who do you think could get into todays team bearing in mind Rodgers philosophy and what not. For me Bolo Senden would be one as he is very similar to rakitic or matic. Who do you think?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - I like Bolo Zenden, he is a really nice lad, but nothing like Rakitic or Matic at all. There is literally no comparison in any part of their game. He was also never actually that good a player, which is a shame. The only players from Benitez's era, not counting Gerrard as he is there still, would be Finnan and Alonso for me. We never had a decent left back then either!}

Would a fit aurelio count?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - if fit, very much so, but, unfortunately he was only fit for long enough to have one good game, then get injured in the next one. Without his injury problems he would have been a hell of a player though.}

Luis garcia?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - too inconsistent for me, much as I love him.}

For me there is one player that I always pine over, and always will, Jari Litmanen. What a little genius that guy was.

But apart from him the one player I would love to have now is Sami Hyypia, in his pomp the best in the country. Him and Sakho would be formiddable in central defence.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - was Jari not Ged's era? I agree Hyypia was brilliant, but he lacked pace, and our new style of play really needs more pace at the back.}

The reason why I said Bolo was like Rakitic (where did Matic come from?) is that they are both good holders and distributers of the ball and also willing to work. And maybe the hair lol, What about Didi Hamann eds, does he seem to 'not-technical?'

Agree0 Disagree0

Marcus babbel

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with Ed01 on this one. Although I'd gladly see a couple of players from Gérard's era back (in prime-form obviously). Probably starting with Didi.

Agree0 Disagree0

I liked Maxi Rodriguez, I've always wondered why we kept him benched.

Agree0 Disagree0

In Prime form? forget the baggage and emotions and I'll take Torres

Agree0 Disagree0

Riise or young babel with potential.

Agree0 Disagree0

Carradonna

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 18:20:18
Ken

If ther'z one person I am eager to see here is you. I have no clue who you are. But you are the most humorous person I have hardly seen

Now Explain whose the Carradona?

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 22:22:00
At their peaks, and limiting it to players signed by Benitez, Hodgson or Dalglish who are not still at the club:

Arbeloa, Aurelio, Alonso would all be in the first XI when available more often than not. Torres at his peak vs. Sturridge would be 50/50. Of course they'd both get plenty of game time between rotation and covering for each other's injuries.

Mascherano, Crouch, Benayoun, Garcia, Bellamy and Kuyt would also be good players for the squad if they were around. And I'll go for a dark horse with Robbie Keane - I think Rodgers would've been able to get good use out of him at his peak.

Obviously all these guys at once would be too many players (especially the strikers), so I am of course speaking about any one or two of them being around individually.

Agree0 Disagree0

Carradonna?
23 Carra Gold?

I think Carra at his peak was the best defender in the premier league. Carradonna with Sakho would be a good combo.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 12:19:18
Emotional Night.

Suarez or Gerrard?

World's Deadliest striker vs Legend

Its Liverpool's England vs Luis Suarez.

Whats your take fellow reds?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

As the name suggests I don't have much love for England but I do like seeing Liverpool players do well so I want both through. However i'm rooting for Italy so its Suares for me at the expense of Gerrard. (sorry)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Would you settle for a screamer from Gerrard and then in the last minute Suarez getting the equalizing goal with his hand, before diving to win an injury time penalty for the winner?}

We have a small benefit in the way that 5 of our players play with this guy every week.

That being said only 3 of them would be partly responsible for trying to stop him and only 1 of them I think actually stands a chance.

However, when you look at the understanding their defenders have of our attack I think we have the edge.

Suarez scoring is inevitable, but us outscoring him is quite possible.

I don't rate Cavani at all to be honest. Sturridge is better.

Agree0 Disagree0

Get Suarez home, wrap him in cotton wool, turn off his mobile, stuck him in a sound proof room until pre-season training.
Then when England go out, do the same with Raheem and Sturridge.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ken has hit the nail on the head. might be a total killjoy here but maybe costa rica and italy go through and all our lads put feet up and relax, sorry lads if you support england

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 19:49:20
To be honest ed.2 I would settle for it minus the hand of course!

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 21:36:59
Get Gerrard home along with Henderson, Sturridge, Sterling, Lambert & Johnson. As I believe that Suarez has played his final Liverpool game and will join Real this summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 12:57:14
I asked about a month ago who each of you would sign (If possible) for the 3 main positions we were lacking in (CDM/CM, LB, LW)

Ed001 response was Moreno, Turan and Medel.

Mine was Moreno, Sandro and Lallana

Given that we have shown a serious interest in Moreno and Lallana and have signed a central midfield player in Can who can player multiple positions and have added to are strike force which is formidable anyway in Rickie Lambert. I think things are going pretty well. Get one of Shaqiri, Lallana, Sanchez (I wish) or Konoplyanka (Although haven't shown an interest in a while) and we're flying I believe.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

19 Jun 2014 12:38:50
In light of the echo's report that Liverpool will go back with a third offer for lallana, I'm wondering if anyone else is beginning to think this is a deal we should just walk away from?

We obviously don't know for sure what the offer will be but whatever it is it will have to exceed the reported 25mill offer we previously made.

Would people prefer to see us go for one of our other rumored targets which, I'd imagine, would be less expensive?

IMO 25 mill was is far too much to pay for him as it is.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Lallana is worth it he's quality

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 14:23:32
I would have walked away long back. can't see Y BR is so adament to bring him.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 15:31:37
Another "offer" after the "take it or leave it offer"?

I think the Eds. have already stated that LFC know what is required, and Saints stated AGAIN only yesterday that they would not sell any player unless their valuation was met and it was also agreed by RK. As he has yet to meet with the players who are on WC duty I suspect any further offer could be too early.

Suggest you don't just focus on the total but consider the structure of any deal. There is fairly widespread comment from around Saints that the suggested deal is not acceptable in both regards.

With Home-Fan welcomed on our site, suggesting what our players are worth, thought I would add a bit of balance! What is Lallana worth? No idea, accept that it is what Saints have already decided and can see no reason why that will change whilst the club do not need to sell and they expect further interest from other clubs. I do expect him to leave, but not convinced he will join LFC.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 18:12:26
StMarrys

Mate I repeat, Therz no FULL BACK in current world who would fetch any team 30 mill. You are lucky to have one in your team. Don't even dream that His price would go up next summer. Nothing wrong with the player, But there is a limit for a LB.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 18:34:18
St Marry

I too am with you on Lallana, Seems the move is very unlikely. And I would be happy not to spend that kinda money on him ( No offence to Lallana's Quality).
But If Liverpool do have a serious ambition to buy a truly world class player, Then DRIVE STRAIGHT TO BARCELONA AND GET Sanchez.
The price set by Southampton on the player seems pretty high to me, considering we sold one of the BEST MIDFIELDER OF THIS GENERATION AT THAT PRICE 4 YEARS BACK ( Price raises every year ).
But ALONSO WOULD STILL COST ANY CLUB UPWARDS 15 MILL TODAY. And Lallana isn't that level yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

Regardless of who we buy and who we try to buy from we do seem to piss off other teams with the way we do buisness, I am not suggesting that we do an andy carroll job but maybe we should tweak our strategy when it comes to dealing with clubs over transfers in, having said that when dealing with clubs on transfers out we should toughen up when we can, I was chuffed with the way we dealt with suarezs scene last year and finally we too as well as all the other clubs we deal with didn't roll over. if we can afford a player and its reasonable pay up if its not move on . I like lallana but 30 mill is a lot for him imo maybe the price is so high because he's english.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 11:30:32
Lol, a newspaper are reporting that LFC are poised to offer Manchester United £8m to bring Ecuador international Antonio Valencia to Anfield. Talk about very lazy journalism!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

That's brilliant haven't heard that do these journalists actually get paid to print this

Agree0 Disagree0

So true but not a bad player, won't happen though.

I'm sure Valencia is rubbing his hands together for another shot of Raheem's neck!

EDS with regards to the question of the day, Does the question regard the season or the financial year, I imagine trying to work it back through a season is hard, whereas in the next financial statements we will have the 2nd place winnings etc. If it is the financial year, I think we will make a handy profit.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what the question id Bobatron. Let me know and I will answer.}

Think he's on about the poll of the day - will Liverpool breakeven this year

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Which year is "this year" - last season? Or the coming season?}

The financial year starting 1 april 2014 and ending march 31 2015 I presume ed

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - That is not Liverpool's financial year. It seems even the most simplistic financial issues seem to cause confusion.}

Well I am really clueless now
I see why you don't discuss finances ed

Agree0 Disagree0

I felt like laughing as soon as I saw the Poll of the day, brilliant. Yd002 you must have felt like crying? "thats why we don't talk about money"

Agree0 Disagree0

The question is vague and causing confusion.

However, the answer is still "no".

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry yeah I meant poll of the day. I had no idea what ''year'' it was alluding to

Agree0 Disagree0

You're gluttons for punishment Eds!

You surely knew these questions would crop up when you chose the poll of the day!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it was my fault, we were testing a timing feature on it, I forgot to edit it. It was a question for the Liverpool Banter site, not for here, I used because I didn't have one handy for here. I meant to go back and change it afterwards.}

The poll said would they break even 'this' season.

It isn't really that complicated to be fair. I would have assumed that most football clubs run their financial year in line with the season. So from June to May (although I may be wrong there but it would make sense)

I guess then what he was asking is would Liverpool breakeven in the coming season / financial year (if the same) with the additional champions league income and TV income

It annoys me a bit that the subject is just deemed totally off limits. Not everyone doesn't get it. There's a few plebs on this site that ruin it for everyone else. I'd love to understand how the finances in a football club work

Agree0 Disagree0

To be fair to us poor posters, we've got several things going against us when discussing finances-

a) The club doesn't release detailed financial information until nearly a year after the fiscal year is over (e.g. results for FY running June 2012/May 2013 was just released in March 2014) so we're nearly two years behind current reality as far as knowledge goes. This one always strikes me as odd, but guess that's the way it is.

b) Accounting-wise, sale/purchases of new players are not nearly as simple as 'sell for £20M, buy for £20M, net change of £0M' unfortunately. It's a right pain trying to figure out the real difference due to the amortization of player transfer fees, particularly if they've had a contract extension or two. And, as mentioned before, there are lots of others add-ons/details to those fees that are not necessarily well described anywhere either (signing on bonuses, payouts due to loyalty clauses, etc.).

c) Even in the detailed financial reports, there isn't really much detail. For example, wages are simply the wages in total paid for all employees in the club, including the first team, and it's therefore not real easy to figure out how much we're paying for first team players wages versus the other 400+ Liverpool FC employees.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The revised poll question for today is:

Do Liverpool fans find themselves bumping in to furniture, other people, doors, post boxes, etc. after thinking about money?}

19 Jun 2014 16:10:32
This explains my sudden jump in clumsiness! Thanks ed, why do I pay for the shrink?

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 16:43:29

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 17:27:43
that post there RDL was from an accountant mate!

I've look at the statutory accounts and can't make sense of them either in terms of player transactions etc.

Just have to put it down as one of those things we will never know the answer to

Ed002. No I don't, i'd fully understand it but if people can't even understand calendar & financial year we've got no chance so understand why you won't answer!

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 08:10:24
For Ed001 or Ed002, I'm planning a trip to Liverpool from Asia to catch a couple of games. The only time I can make this trip is between 23 November and 18th December. So my question is, if I buy tickets for Sunderland and Utd games, is there an chance that any of the games might get postponed due to champions league fixtures?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - No games will be postponed because of Champions League fixtures before Christmas.}

I doubt you will get a utd ticket mate!

Agree0 Disagree0

He might if they are 3 nil down and he doesn't mind sitting in their end with 10 mins to go ;o)

Agree0 Disagree0

Actually I can but I'll be sitting with the Utd Fans. Kinda know a season ticket Holder who won't be going.

Hi Ed002, are there any developments on Alberto Moreno? Thank you.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Nothing happened overnight.}

Any updates on any transfer updates
sorry if this comes across as stubborn

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It comes across as a waste of my time - nothing happened with any other players overnight.}

Sorry ed Just thought worth a try
On another note I was reading through the archives and I saw that earlier you to give rating out of 10 for the possibility of various signings
why did you stop with them?They seemed helpful

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The fans get upset when there are hundreds of players with 0, 1 or 2 chances of signing.}

Any chances of you starting em again?
You could always give one of your typical outbursts to the pricky supporters

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It is not going to happen Reet.}

Fair enough as we hardly see the kind of abuse you guys must get
again apologies for the tike waste question

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It has started again today and I suspect fewer and fewer posts will be getting through now.}

I don't understand some people, I mean what is the point of coming on the site, just with the intention if causing grief and aggro? some people need to grow up and be respectful of other users be it the eds or posters. there is no better website out there that gives honest and reliable information about the team's we support. but still some feel the need to spoil and ruin for others. pitiful.

Agree0 Disagree0

By it I presume you mean the abuse ed
let me guess
the fans abusing the club for not buying mario, sanchez, pogba, veratti, shaw, lallana, Moreno, reus, pedro and a couple more thousand players while thrashing Rojo Bertrand Lambert can Aspas Alberto Allen

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - correct mate, it is bizarre how abusive football fans can get if their wishes are not met.}

19 Jun 2014 07:57:24
Ed. do you have any further details on Spurs proposed move for Moreno and if it has gathered pace at all?

Is Moreno inteersted in going there over us?

Morning Eds

Borini to Southampton as part of the lallana / lovren deal?

Any remote truth or have the Journos been playing Football Manager again?

Thanks in advance

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - No idea.}

19 Jun 2014 08:29:26
That would be stupid. Borini was sent on loan last season to prove his worth. So what's the point in selling him now?

Agree0 Disagree0

I was about to ask the same thing. Nearly every site is reporting this so might have some truth in it? Although I thought Borini would be back in our squad fighting for a place this year?

Agree0 Disagree0

Got to agree. I hope he stays and plays some football! For me he has a really good eye for goal and could win us some much needed games. Really hope he gets the chance

Agree0 Disagree0

Makes perfect sense for me.he isn't that good anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

Forget Lala.

Borini for Lovren = DEAL!

Agree0 Disagree0

I would rather spend the money that is required to buy Lallana on Sanchez.

Btw if we do buy a CB like Lovren who will be expecting to start then it would make more sense selling Skrtel than Agger.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2014 00:53:00
Hi eds and fellow reds,
Great jobs use r doing lads!,
Just wondering if we have any interest in valbuena from iom? I personally tink he could add a lot to the squad and he can play in a number of positions and also seems to be available? Also wondering your thoughts on Jordan Ibe watched him in dublin few weeks ago and looked a good player ( opposition wasn't great though) but for me apart from his finishing really looked like he has progressed from pre season last yr?
Keep up the great work

Ed001 and fans, I genuinely hope we do not repeat the mistake of that season when we came second and did not go out in the summer and strengthen our squad accordingly, because that cost us dearly for the next couple Of years. I hope BR will buy the appropriate players needed for our next season, so we can improve and not go out of the top four again or slip up.
We have to make some really good buys. Ed001 who would you like to see realistically come in, after we secured champions league boosting our chances that is.

{Ed001's Note - we have already signed Can, I would like Lovren, Medel, and Sanchez and I would be happy as Larry. Ooops just noticed I missed a left back out. Now I am not sure whether to leave one of those 3 out, as 5 players is a lot to change, or not? Left back is the number one priority for me though, so forget Medel (though my teeth are clenched typing that as I really love him as a player), and get Moreno.}

Sanchez, Lovern and Rojo/Rodriguez

Agree0 Disagree0

Rodriguez/ Blind/Rojo/Moreno with lovren/ Hinteregger and Konoplyanka/ Shaqiri
any of those combinations would work

Agree0 Disagree0

Seem to have forgotten about Lambert Ed? ( and Borrini back?), so looks like we could be making at least 5?

Agree0 Disagree0

Wouldn't exactly call it a mistake not buying anyone in the winter window, we where much stronger after January than before.

Agree0 Disagree0

If that happened I think every Liverpool fan would be ecstatic! Ed001 who would you personally sell?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Johnson, Enrique, Reina, Coates.}

Ed 001
Do you see us going for sanchez without selling suarez?seems out of our reach financially

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - nope but I can dream.}

Good Shout Ed; just your opinion whose place (not suggesting they are sold although I would expect some departures) in the team would these new players take?

My preference would be for Lovren to take Skrtel's place.

Moreno would share responsibility with Flanagan / Johnson (I remember someone saying Johnson at least had to think when playing left back).

Sanchez - Aspas / different dimension to the team.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I agree on Lovren, I would move Flanno to right back, Moreno on the left and release or sell Enrique and Johnson. Sanchez would be there to provide a different option, so it would depend on the game.}

Hi Ed,

Value your opinion and think it would be good if you could do a quick synopsis of why you think he is our guy (Moreno) as a lot of fans on here don't think he is good enough

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he is the only one of the possible options I have watched play a fair bit to be honest, that I feel could be good enough. He has pace to burn, which is always a major plus. He is young enough to work on his weaknesses and improve his strengths. While I think he lacks a little defensively, being caught out of position especially, he has the pace to get back into position quickly and we have a deep lying midfielder especially to provide cover for the full backs getting forward. He works hard, is very good technically, just needs to learn more about the timing of his movement.}

Ed001, the article in the Echo suggests Sanchez is a definite target but obviously he is on very high wages. You have mentioned him here do you think there is a possibility we may go for him even with Suarez staying? I'm sure we were linked a few seasons back with him also and for me he would slip into our front 3 fantastic, even if it does mean Sterling might receive less game time

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - no, I don't expect us to go for him, not unless Suarez were to leave.}

Can will just have to play left back Ed ;) lol, is their realistically any chance of Sanchez without selling Suarez. I'm dreaming of Sturridge up top with a fluent 3 of Suarez, Sterling and Sanchez behind him. just imagine the goals we'd score!

Henderson and Medel/Gerrard protecting the back 4 of Flanno, Lovren, Sakho and Bertrand.

Migs in goal.

You've made me dream now! I swaer to god, this better happen now ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I wish there was. I just really don't see it happening, we all know the club never moves for the players I am desperate for, even when they are available and we hold talks with them. See Keisuke Honda for reference!}

Ed001 So Moreno would be yur first choice for LB? Could you tell us why you'd prefer him to Rojo or Rodriguez? thanks! :)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - because I haven't seen enough of the other two to judge them.}
