We are going all out to win the league and there are gonna be some big suprises instore!

In regards to my earlier post Aaron Lennon has just got back from his holiday in Las Vegas, he has told family and friends he is leaving Spurs, like stated before it's man city or Liverpool, and yes he does support man utd, but that's no issue as he has played for Leeds

hey eds just heard a rumour saying that adam deal could fall through due to Oyston wanting to get back in the PL and wanting to hold onto adam until his contract is really close to ending. Who would you think would be a good alternative option? or do we even need another central midfielder?

united took young and they have Valencia what's happening with nani he's quality except for his diving but kk will talk him out of that I think we should put a bid in what do yous all think

hi fellow reds and eds

i have found that the law of averages works well on this site and rumors that gather momentum over the long run often come true... my question to anyone who will answer

we are constantly being linked with strikers and central/ attacking midfielders when we seem to have enough for each of those positions more than any others..

so are we playing a 4 3 3 or a 3 4 3 next season?

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 23:11:38
Ed do you think its a case of our transfers stalling or we are waiting for the international transfer window to open so that if we fail in our 1st targets there is more players available for 2nd choice etc?

hey ed, i was shopping the otherday in woodgreen, i see clichy and his wife shopping for interior furniture, do u think this could be a sign of him staying, or leaving, also ive hear rumours about aquaman going to roma for reportedly 13mil.
whats the latest on hazard aswell, all that speculation about him and i havnt heard nothing for ages, personally i would prefer him to downing and he would give links to asia,

London red! {Ed002's Note - If he was shopping for furniture, I guess he must be staying. HAzard - Liverpool? No.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 23:07:29
Ed, do you think it is plausible that Meireles may leave? Have you heard much?

With Spearing, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson and possibly Adam, it seems possible but imo, although Henderson may develop into a very good player, as it currently stands Meireles is a far better player so it just doesn't make sense to me.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 23:03:46
Doesn't the european transfer markt only open on July 1st, Alot of people or on holiday and need a break so I suggest you'll some frantic activity next week witht h majority of their european. You will notice that none have taken place yet outside the premier league.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:49:33
Ed, whats with all the sell players before we buy stuff? I am reading in numerous places that we are selling 4 or 5 to fund a summer spending spree? Thought we had loads or money to spend this window. Also what do you make of the lack of actuvity at this stage? I have fears we'll get beaten to a few players as we used to!

Jock Red {Ed009's Note - before worrying at all I'd wait till the International Window opens. Neither Chelsea, Arsenal or even City have done anything of note yet, whereas we've signed Henderson. We will be selling players, but there is no need to do so in order to fund signings.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:48:41
Hi eds and fellow posters, who do you think would be the best third striker that would work well with caroll and suarez that could be bought in the current transfer market??

Red head {Ed009's Note - probably Benzema, he'd be expensive but he's available and the poacher I feel we need.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:43:13
Ed are you certain that we are not interested in Hulk as you have said we have watched porto this season. Hulk would be perfect in a front 3 for us. I think it could be like suarez when people thought we were watching other people at ajax and in fact it was suarez. Just wondering what you thought ed? {Ed009's Note - Hulk recently signed a new contract for Porto to commit his long term future there. It also inserted a release clause of 100 million euros. Whilst I think the player could be bought for significantly less, it would still be a large fee, and if he was to move anywhere in England I would suggest he would want to be reunited with his old boss Villas Boas at Chelsea.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:43:05
Im pretty sure Paco still has a house on the Wirral....maybe someone else can confirm this.

I would love to see him back, the team definitely didnt play as well after he left.

Didnt KK mention we would see an old face back!!!

Sven

22 Jun 2011 23:48:54
Not so much a rumour, but i saw Paco Ayestaran our former assistant in Liverpool city centre today with a suitcase. I know it was him as he used to come into my work place every so often. Maybe he is making a return or just possibly visiting friends? Would love him to return to us as he was a major part of Benitez's success with us and he is a free agent having left Valencia this year. Anyway, would love to see Scott Dann at our club this year and also Aly Cissokho. Would also be good to see Mata but not too sure he will come to us regardless of our friendly with Valencia!! Not too fussed about Adam as i believe he was a good player in a bad team just like N'zogbia!! Keep up the good work ed's

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:41:01
Ed people talk about players signing out of the blue, well i think we may end up signing hazard out of the blue as we definately want him and not that many other clubs seem to be. I know he was not that keen on the move but i think he could be convinced. What do you think ed? {Ed009's Note - Comolli has a long standing interest in the player and he could perhaps be won round with large wages and Kenny's vision, but at this time I'd say it remains very unlikely.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:34:24
ED, do you feel Liverpool's lack of activity so far in the transfer window suggests we are planning doing most of our business after July 1st and will be buying more foreign players? I heard this was the case as the club feel there is much better value for money in europe than the astronomical prices being quoted for "good" players we are linked with in England {Ed002's Note - I think we need do nothing other than recognise it is early days yet.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:29:44
Liverpool to sign
Stuart Downing(english)
James Mcarthey(irish)
Charlie Adam(scottish)
Is this some sort of joke?

Just got the news from a source in Sevilla, Spain that we are linked with winger Jesus Navas, hes quality and Sevilla are letting him go at 25 euros

at that price I'd happily pay for the player if they paid for the wages!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:23:17
Hey Ed, please post this in rumours. What are the chances (Out of 10) of any Eds not giving marks out of 10 for potential signings. It gets really annoying, and surely it is for a seperate page for all requests. Rob Smith {Ed009's Note - I understand your point, and the Ed's often find it frustrating too, believe me we ignore a lot of the requests, but sometimes its an easy way to show a large amount of people a basic answer so we aren't asked the same question again and again all day.}

Hi Eds, or in fact any others who may have the answer to this question...
Does anyone know what is currently happening with insua? I always thought he had potential, and whilst he currently isn't as good as clichy, enrique and the rest, surely he has the potential to become their equal given time, or perhaps I'm missing something, does he have a bad attitude, poor training ethic, etc?
It just seems odd to me that he's totally forgotten.
Red Stripe
--------------------------

He lacks natural pace, which cant be improved on through training. He's not the tallest or best in the air, and for these reasons got targeted by the opposition towards the end of his spell with the club. That and the fact he like McDonalds a bit too much suggest to me he will be on his way.

Think he has good technique and a good cross but lacks the athletic qualities for the prem.

Red Stripe

I totally agree mate, i thought it was odd sending him out on loan, we have always struggled for a LB, and he had just completed nearly a full season in the prem, the experience he got then is worth a lot, look at Lucas, his first season wasnt great but hes been given a chance, gained the experience and was fantastic last season, surly Insua should be given a chance, hes got a good cross on him and isnt bad at the back {Ed009's Note - He is very overweight and would need to change his diet to have a chance in the Premier League. I didn't think he had an awful first season and would make good back up, but I can't see him returning.}

25 euros? why go for mata when we can get someone for £20

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:08:16
This waiting for new signings is killing everyone.....let's chill for a while...no one else has done anything great so far....and Man U have done us a big favour in taking Ashley Young.....we will sign at least one and probably two wide players and we will sign a left sided defender and we will probably sign a new centre back.

Personally I would love to see Juan Mata come (and I think he might).

If I could have one player at Anfield it would be to have Xabi back...we are going to win the league sooner rather than later and I would just like him to be part of that title winning side.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:05:33
So Man Utd are suddenly linked with Mata(because we want him).Everybody we go for they suddenly raise their head and want the player.Obviously because of Man utd financial position they have had to sack the scouting team and rely on who we want for them to sit up and take note.
Right lets bid for Sol cambell, Bentdner, and any other player that is garbage tell them we are keeping paul knochesky and let them have them.
Onto other matters would love to see
Adam Johnson or Mata quality exciting players.What about Sturridge as a back up to suarez.
I still think there are a couple of major signings to come from kk and dc, lets just wait untill after the under 21s and july the first and hopefully everything will fall into place, the jigsaw puzzle that kk is building will be complete and we will challenge once more.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:03:10
i think kenny dalglish is doing business but is keeping his cards close to his chest!! be ready to be shocked very soon...

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 22:01:55
This talk of utd putting a bid in for mata.They do even want him after buying young.If the rumour is true its just whiskey nose trying to up the price.He is a man under pressure for one reason that is because Dalglish is back.He has already panicked and bought young.Young is over-rated and will be on the scrap heap by the end of season.They will buy de gea and thats it thats all the glazers(banks) will allow.(RD.RED)

Good player but i don't see this happening, the guy suffers from chronic homesickness. Like to the point where he doesn't even like travelling elsewhere in spain.

For 25 euro's i'll buy him myself!!

why the hell have we not signed c wickham and now looks like we will miss out , this kid looks great 6.3 quick great on the ball much better than having nogo on the bench !

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 21:51:47
One rumour I do feel has legs, if for nothing but is vagueness, is the rumour that Liverpool are poised to make a signing for a substantial fee. I imagine this fee to be between 25-35 million.
We can speculate on a few points about this transfer (which will happen this window, I will give no deadline).
He (it will be a he) will not be bought from an EPL team. This is because there is really no one in the league (who we have not already purchased) who would be desirable to us, and who would demand such a fee. We have intelligently mopped up all the current most promising young players we can, and will now divert our attentions to the east (europe).
There are a number of players who have been linked (rightly or wrongly) with us, whos fee would be in excess of 25-35 million (Aguero, Neymar) but there are players whos fee would settle into that price range.
It is rare for a defender to be so pricey, so we can discount that.
It is rare (only the likes of Ronaldo, Ribery, Robben etc) for a winger to be worth so much, but not impossible. Although Hazard, Pastore, Di Maria and possible Mata are the only wingers who come to mind who would demand such a fee atm.
We have plenty of CM's, none we would go after would be worth so much.
The position most likely to be filled with such a pricey player, as we have already been exposed to (Suarez, Carroll) is a striker. Benzema, Gomez, Higuian are all worth 25-35 million, but who will fit betwixt Carroll and Suarez.
Only time will tell, but its sure gonna be a surprise!

23 Jun 2011 20:57:11 most of the players we are being inked with consistenty are average. do you think we have other targets or are these players downing, adams clichy dann and wickham about as good as we will get good as we will get. i cant see us challenging next year same old average buys suarez apart reina wil be off next. eds do you believe we will improve next year. and do you see any decent players coming here
----------
bit unfair. Mata isn't average, don't think zapata is either, or payet or wickham. Have you seen wickham play? He is a good player and only 18. Like carroll but better with the ball and quicker

Just seen DC in the local Volkswagen dealers! He said he was buying Turan! At least that's what it sounded like....

And for all the nonsense posters on here, moaning about players we haven't bought, or may or may not buy - go read (YNWA) Adam's post earlier. Best post in a long while.

Keep the faith.

Bigbadben.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 21:15:05
p.s. My source suggested there is a really big transfer in the pipline for Liverpool with a potential fee in excess of £35m. His name has been mentioned before.

lots of players have been mentioned here before so can you narrow it down a bit for us......as in just say the players name.

Liverpool are ready to battle it out with Tottenham, Aston Villa and Arsenal for Scott Parkers signature.

No chance of Parker at Liverpool, he doesn't wanna leave London as his mum is ill and doesn't wanna move her out of the capital. He's Tottenham bound!

His mum doesn't live in London she lives in Maidstone Kent. Sounds like a lie but I delivered her sofa last year. So this rumour may have some legs. {Ed002's Note - I concur - four.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 21:42:43
Think most 'fans' should appreciate we are being linked with players!

At least we now have owners who are willing to invest in players!9 months ago we feared administration! Lets be honest.....We are not a Champions League club, we have been in decline, not even in Europe!
So why would the 'top class' players join? Footballers have short careers and and most are selfish in their demands. We do not have the revenue due our ground capacity and no European competition next season!

Even if we shelled out £40m on one player....The wages would blow our budget out of the water. The top players can demand whatever they want...I'd rather we had stability and build slowly.....We are not Man City, Chelsea who are bankrolled by rich sugar daddies. AND i dont want us to lose our identity!

We cannot just rely on our history/heritage to attract players....Most foreigners dont care anyway!

Im not the biggest fan of Downing but if it means we are signing a player who is a winger (how many fans have been on here crying out for some width?!?!?), understands the liverpool way and will give 100% over 90 mins so be it....rather that than someone being paid £150k a week only joined because we trebled his wages??

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 21:41:31
hi ed its says on your right in that you aint a liverpool fc surpporter that true {Ed002's Note - I tried to understand the sentence but failed. Some Eds support Liverpool and some don't. It makes no difference. But I seem to be m ore supportive of players that the Liverpool fans are.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 21:38:59
Just wondering how many people would take Benayoun back just watching a few highlights of 08-09 and he was involved in some of our best games as a squad player i think hes brill just a thought !!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 21:35:59
I'm a life long Liverpool supporter from Australia and it makes me sick to read about some of the players we are linked with. While we are supposedly tryin' to buy players like Downing, Adam & Roux, teams like scum united, chelsea, arsenal and man city are buying expensive but quality players. By doing this we will never make ground on them. We should be buying players like Sanchez, Pastore & Mata coz we actually need them!

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

You do realise that there is another 2 months before the transfer window closes?

Relax, we'll get there, top 4 next year...Champions the next!

Ed if u was a betting man and through your sources and in your opinion, 1 do u think our left back will be next season and 2 who u wud like our lb to be cheers

Mines probley will be Enrique
But wud lke cissoko

Fed up hearing:

1. Whinging fans. (Such and such not good enough for the shirt.) Give over you crybaby b**tards. All footballer's care about is cash, unless they're s**te, and then they think hard work and kissing the badge will keep you lot off their backs.

2. What do you think eds? Sorry, but this just sounds like apple polishing. Get your tongue out the back of their pants, and TELL THEM what YOU think!

3. Aguero. Move on pls, I am so sick of Kun being the be-all and end all of transfers. He'd probably be another Robinho or Shevchenko ffs

4. Ratings. Who gives a fk what the ratings are? Do you really think if it's a 6 from an ed that it means they're nailed on? These guys are not the Oracle of Delphi mates, they just try hard (apple polishing there)

5. Skybet. Don't. any. more.

6. My mate. What mate? You have no mates! That's why you're sitting in front of your PC in your underpants!

7. Not a rumour. Well if it's not a rumour then it better be funny or interesting, or otherwise somehow make up for the time I spend reading it. Now ffs entertain me!!

my no.1 target or who id most like us to sign would be arda turan. this is for 2 reasons 1st i think think he is a great player the 2nd is because he would love to play for us as much as steven gerrard and carra.agree or not??

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 21:07:05
Guys we are hardly into the transfer window, it's not even properly opened yet, DON'T LOSE HOPE, just cos we don't sign someone every bleeding hour it doesn't mean we're not doing anything! For god's sake, cheer up we are gonna have a fantastic season with quality additions!

PS Well done eds for keeping the site so good, and to the new ed, well done!

players like downing are not fit to wear the red of liverpool.i pray its just a rumour that he is signing for my beloved pool.kenny will get the right players.he did it in the eighties and he will do it again.the spam are worried now that kenny is back. sa red {Ed002's Note - I am not a Liverpool supporter but man for those supporters who at one time had the reputation of being the best supporters in the world, you and your hate filled buddies have let everyone down. I remain astonished at the levels of abuse of the players who have never even had the opportunity the pull on the shirt. I am sure that if you keep it up you will manage to drive them out. If not, perhaps the F Downing flags at the first game of the seanon will get the point across.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 21:03:45
Ok ed's what are the chances of Juan Mata signing for LFC, and also I don't know if your allowed to answer this, but where do you get your info from? please post and answer {Ed009's Note - the editors all have different sources, and we can't tell you these things if we want to receive any more information in the future. I would give Mata a 4/10 - his father is impressed with our ambition and has consistently emphasised that Mata doesn't care about immediate Champions League football. At the same time there is an awful lot of competition and fine performances at the U-21's won't have helped us one bit.}

I've met him once, a few years ago in a town near Valencia, really nice guy, very genuine, he'd be the ideal player for any team. Let's just hope its us.

Jun 2011 20:03:43 Old whisky nose has such a deep rooted hatred of Liverpool that he is trying to pip us to or interfere in almost evry signing we have been working on (trying for Mata now too) I think if we made a bid for Titus Bramble he'd try to buy him too I truely think that he is woried by how well things are developing for us since the return of the king that he is trying to pip us to the transfers that we are trying to make. The retirement of the plum faced whisky nosed one cometh and I for one can't wait to see the back of that sour faced twonk!
----------
personally I want him to stick around for another few years. To be the best you have to beat the best, plus I want him to retire after we ease ahead of utd in terms of league titles. I don't want him to retire then when go ahead of utd, every utd fan will then use the excuse that we only win because fergie isn't around

Aaron Lennon will never join end of story source Aaron Lennon phone call he's in Spain at the moment as well if you want to know so can everybody please give this Roumer up he is a man u fan why would he want to join one of there biggest rivals

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

Are you seriously saying that we can't sign a player who doesn't support LFC? As I recall Ronnie Whelan was a Utd supporter but he somehow signed for their biggest rivals. We've also had a few bluenoses who have graced the red shirt over the years as well.

most of the players we are being linked with consistenty are average. do you think we have other targets or are these players downing, adams clichy dann and wickham about as good as we will get.
i cant see us challenging next year. same old average buys suarez apart. reina wil be off next.
eds do you believe we will improve next year. and do you see any decent players coming here

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 20:55:31
Its all well and good talking or lying about who's coming in, but has any one or the eds heard about players going out?? we got a lot of players that should never have been bought and really need to go

thanx red sharp

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 20:49:48
I've just been watching videos of Turan on youtube again, and of Mata, God they ware pure class...Wouldn't it be unbelieveable if KK signed the pair of them? Can you imagine the pair of them with Suarez terrorising the Mancs...

Will people stop using the phrase smokescreens. No team in the world would ever feign interest in a player to hide another transfer its bad for the club image and would put future players off. So if people really believe we have gone back to a behind closed doors policy then please please stop thinking that any club (especially ours) would be disrespectful enough to publicly use a player as misdirection.

Mr E

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 20:37:13
Mata
Turan
wickham or roux
Cahill or zappata
Bains or Chissoko

If we got players like these mixed in with what we have we would be welcoming number 19 to Anfield!!!

How do you know they are not worth t can you see into the future?
----------
no but he can see into the present or past and carroll isn't presently worth 35m. Downing isn't presently worth 19m and henderson isn't presently worth 13m

To put in into perspective
david villa was cheaper than carroll
Alonso was cheaper than hendo

Can't see our amazing signing out of the players we've been linked with.

If we are going to spend the money, go for Bale instead of Downing or convince Fabregas / hijack the Modric deal instead of Adams. And remember we dont hear about a big signing until 1 or 2 days before. And the rumour I've heard is that we ARE going to sign a 30 mill + player.

Kenny's got the knack to make the potential world class into real world class, and these 2 signings would definatly have people sitting up.

What's your thought on that Ed ? {Ed001's Note - why would we want Bale? He had one good last 5 minutes against a team that had a match won and suddenly he is great! He offers nothing special, I would rather have Downing.}

This is not a transfer rumour as such but I thought I'd let you know the BBC are considering a Saturday lunchtime 'Saint and Greavsie' type show next season, starring John Barnes and Stan Collymore. It's gonna be called 'Digger and Dogger'.

I'll start...

1 - No reference to the S*n or related papers.
2 - No reference to Utd or Utd players.
3 - No rumours or suggestions of signing ex Utd players.
4 - No corrections of Charlie Adams'/Adam's surname.

(i've completely contradicted myself from 1-3, but you know what I mean)

i am getting pretty fed up of half the posters on this site. why? all u do is moan because liverpool havent signed enough players yet when there is another 2 months of transfers. u slate whoever u dont want to sign EXAMPLE: u think downing is s**t because aint getting mata YET he remains a possibility. u criticise players based on 1 or 2 performances and dont support the team IE LUCAS. u need to remember that downing is a huge improvement in terms of crossing and width. and AGUERO IS NOT JOINING NOR IS DI MARIA. i would however like turan. AND FINALLY you always post the same stupid questions and comments. i feel sorry for all the eds who have to put up with this crap

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 20:15:17
I don't understand why people are being so negative about the players we are being linked with. Does anyone think that we would have been linked with players such as clichy, downing and adam if woy was still in charge. I think it is a compliment to KK's work that despite not having european football we can still attract good premiership players. It takes times to rebuild a team. KK's only been manager for 6 months for god's sake! We are not going to be able to attract money hungry players like Aguero after half a season. The fact that we are being strongly linked to a player of Mata's calibre is a true testament to the progress being made. IMO, he is one of Spain's hottest prospect, and it shows that Kenny is doing great work in improving Liverpool's reputation as a team that is on the up. However, we need more than one transfer window to rebuild Liverpool, and whoever decides they want to be part of this rebuilding, i will back 100%.

talks of clichy going to roma
enrique could replace him
now cissokho is man city target
our 3 top lb targets linked to other clubs when we could have had a deal done for 1 of them done by now
i will be surprised if we dont sign any 1 of them but if we dont the only other quality target is surely vargas but im not sure he is lb and he is more of lw

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 20:09:26
Why we selling Meireles? After Roy left he was top class. He can certainly play a bit, and adds real depth to the squad. Kenny said Liverpool we only buying players that were better than what we already had, so I can't understand the reasoning behind selling him, he is better than any of those players we are constantly been linked with and extorted for. Spurs are now chasing him, I get the feeling we will sell to them and far too cheaply as well.

We seem to be the only club that doesn't seem to have a problem letting a rival sign a player from us. Does anyone actually think Spurs, Everton, Arsenal, Chelsea, or City would allow us to easily sign any of their players.

And as soon as we become interested in a player the price been asked just becomes ridiculous. £12.5m for Adam, £15m Nzogbia, £19.5m Downing, £47m in total for that lot of goodish players. Meireles is better than any of them and I think will sell him for £12m (so much for the policy of signing better players that what is already here). If this bunch were to sign for other clubs, I bet their combined transfers would come to approx £30m.

All clubs see us a mugs, Carroll £35m plus 25% of any future transfer sale, Henderson probably will end up at £20m? Its typical of us to sell cheap and buy at extortionate prices, this never changes.

Also looks like we will be stuck with Jovanovich, Poulsen, Ngog, Cole, and Konchesky unless we bend over and sell these guys for quarter of their market value (sound familiar?).

Can all you liverpool fans hold your nerv KK Knows what he is doing, remember what he did before, remeber they said he's been out for to long but we had the 2nd best post Xmas results.

We cannot attract the best in the world just yet, but we can attract fantastic young EPL players that will get our No1 goal TOP 4

Once we get TOP 4 then start to dream the Sky is the limit

Old whisky nose has such a deep rooted hatred of Liverpool that he is trying to pip us to or interfere in almost evry signing we have been working on (trying for Mata now too). I think if we made a bid for Titus Bramble he'd try to buy him too.
I truely think that he is woried by how well things are developing for us since the return of the king that he is trying to pip us to the transfers that we are trying to make.
The retirement of the plum faced whisky nosed one cometh and I for one can't wait to see the back of that sour faced twonk!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 20:03:29
£16million for Henderson and a valuation of £19million for Downing. Has our valuation of Carroll for £35million come back to bite us? Have we driven up the price of English players even more than before?

Cheaper and better alternatives on the continent. Maybe that's why we haven't been so busy in the transfer market yet. Waiting for July 1st I think.

TRANSFER UPDATE

Every Thursday me and my brother Smokey go out and do a bit of hot air ballooning in our home made hot air balloon, its usually just a little pleasure cruise around the countryside for an hour or two but today we got caught up in some rather unexpected wind currents and got blown way off course, as if this wasn't bad enough we then got caught in the landing gear off an airplane heading from Birmingham to Copenhagen, we got pulled all the way to Denmark before Smokey (the bravest of the Rashers) managed to climb up and free the balloon from the airplane, we floated down to a gentle landing right in the middle of the Spanish U21's training camp, Juan Mata who is an experienced Kyte builder was able to help us repair our baloon as Kytes and balloons work in quite a similar way, while working on the balloon Juan told us that he will be moving to Liverpool in July and that all
Liverpool fans should stop worring and moaning about signings as Kenny had made him sure that good times are ahead. Full of hot air,

Is it possible that KENNY has already spent his transfer budget, and now needs to sell the dead wood before buying?(adam deal dragging on)
It also seems we are willing to give the best price on the planet to rid ourselves of some good players (raul aqua), yet we pay over the odds for everyone! {Ed001's Note - we do not need to sell to buy, the Adam deal is not dragging on for any other reason than Karl Oyston being a little brat and refusing to deal with us or Spurs at all over him.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 20:02:30
not a rumour , but why do we need to spend 8-10 million on connor wickham .who, s goal for record is poor and he is untried at this level.we have a good lad in adam morgan who is a similar age.keep the money and get a proven player/players.as inthe past we have had to make do with second choice players, quality not quantity....

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 19:51:48
The two best wingers available are....

Mata and Turan...

Dont bother with any of the others they are not good enough....

23 Jun 2011 19:48:44
I would absolutely love Turan to come to us this summer. Him and Suarez would terrorise defences next season. Watching the way he plays and his build I feel he would adapt perfectly to the English game. Considering he would likely cost less than Mata and the fact he clearly would love to play for us it could be a much shrewder move on our part. Hopefully Kenny and Comoli can make it happen!

ED NE CHANCES SINCE U TLD US V HVE BEEN LOOKIN AT BASEL.................RED INDIAN (BTW GREAT SITE EDS) {Ed009's Note - I suppose there is a chance of the player, although I haven't heard of any concrete interest. I think he could make a good signing if he could be bought for the right price.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 19:33:01
To all our beloved LFC fans we have some problems with big signings. We are not in CL football most top players want to play at this level. We would proberley have to offer them a bigger wage bill than most CL teams. I hope we go for the right players as some of the rumoured players we are linked with are just not good enough. (Hope this is a smoke screen) Even though the future is bright some players will not fit the liverpool way for example club before anything else. On the plus side we have players like Reina, G. Johnson, Gerrard and Suarez to attracked other players. Plus the likes of Carroll and Henderson that need to prove them selfs. I only hope that KK and DC can make players see the vision. It is vital that we get another top class CB, LB, LW/LM, RW/RM, and mabe a backup striker. Players that we need to get rid of Emiliano Insua, Paul Konchesky, Sotirios Kyrgiakos, Joe Cole, Christian Poulsen, Nabil El Zhar, Milan Jovanovic, David N'Gog, Alberto Aquilani, Philipp Degen at least. Sorry for the negerative info but we are a great club that need great players.

I want to play in major leagues and my dream team is Liverpool F.C.." He also included his dream of playing for Liverpool FC "As I always mention, Liverpool attracts me because of their tradition. In Europe, I am a Liverpool supporter, so if I go to play in Europe, I would like to play for them." said by Arda Turan {Ed009's Note - if we signed Arda I'd be overjoyed. Casting aside his undeniable ability, he wants to play for Liverpool almost as much as I do. For that reason alone I'd buy the player's shirt. I just feel Kenny is questioning his ability to adapt physically, but I hope he can look past it more than anything.}

I'd also love it if we got him he ticks all the boxes and more go on Kenny do it for the fans and the team.

23 Jun 2011 19:26:57
I have a, perhaps, wild theory.

The type of wingers you need depend on the striker you intend to create for. Strikers like (for example) Aguero, Suarez, Owen prefer wingers who will hit they byline and cut it back along the ground, whereas striekrs like Carroll, Lloriente and Crouch much prefer crosses from deeper positions up in the air. Poachers such as Kuyt, Rooney and Torres will happily take either type of cross or little dinked balls for them to move onto.

We need wingers to suit all three. A Suarez winger is a Juan Mata, who will hit the byline and lay it back to him to smash into the net. A Carroll winger is a Stuart Downing, somebody who guarantees a cross into the box with good air under it, for him to power his way towards and bullet a header into the net. A forward like Kuyt likes a player like henderson. Somebody with much more awareness, who will put the ball into gaps for him to pounce onto, whether that be in the air, or along the ground. This would explain why we seem to be after different types of wingers. The other type of winger we seem to be tracking is one in the Robben, N'Zogbia, Young mould. A winger who plays on the opposite side to the foot they use, allowing for them to cut inside and a) slip a ball in behind the defence b) have a dig c) play it to a midfielder and narrow the play creating space for the full backs to run into. This would explain why we were after Marveaux and Young. The question is, who is our third back-up option. It would appear N'Zogbia.
Also, don't forget that Glen Johnson can play as a winger too. I expect him to be the first choice right midfielder next year, with Henderson as his understudy. Reason? Because he can hit the byline, cross from deep, see the space and cut inside and unleash hell. He is a ready made winger who just happens to be a world class defender as well. He is without a doubt for me, Rafa's best buy since Torres and Alonso, but Rafa just couldn't use Glen at all. Kenny and Steve Clark can though, and he will be a top player for us next year, be it at right midfiled as I predict, or Right back as is usual to think.

I digress, we are linked with different kinds of wingers so depending on the opposition we can attack in a different manner. Against stoke, you don't play to their strengths and put it in the air, you hit their lack of speed. Mata and Suarez.
Against Arsenal, you exploit their lack of aerial strength and play Carroll and Downing. Against Manchester United, you cannot beat their full backs for pace, you cannot beat there centre backs in the air, so you play Kuyt and Henderson and exploit the space they leave in pockets at the back.

Maybe I'm over thinking this, but Kenny is a tactical genius who knows how to beat teams, and If i can spot these weaknesses, he saw them without even looking and is adressing these with different breeds of attackers.

Thanks for posting Ed's (although this would be ironic if you didn't lol), just my take on why we may buy Mata, Downing and Henderson as wingers.

Nothing to do with transfer news but just need to get off my chest my utter disgust I feel inside after listening to Adrian Durham on Talksh$te spew vile over the cause of the Hillsbough Disaster.
The ignorance he shows continues to expose the utter contempt of the southern media, I don t mean to offend our many southern based fans, but his statements in a debate about reinstating standing terraces at grounds where absolutely obscene.
I have never been a fan or regular listener of Talksh$te but I tuned in as an alternative to tennis. NEVER AGAIN..
I can only encourage all other reds to expose this tw$t across all forms of media available.

Why is everyone saying Downing is a bad player, he won't add anything to the team and all this crap ....

He puts a good ball in the box, has a sweet left foot, scored 7 goals last season, and contributed further with 8 assists, and that was playing in a mediocre team and putting balls in the box for the likes of Heskey and Bent, who are no where near as good as the likes as Carroll and Suarez.

However, i, myself do not agree with the price tag of 18-20 million that has been put on him as it is a bit much, as you could get a bigger and better player for that price, but personally i think he will prove to be a decent buy for a lower price

So just give him a chance to prove himself and watch him prove you wrong.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 19:19:20
hi eds

just a quick thought. We seem to have been linked with the same 7 or 8 players for quite a while now. + just have a feeling that these may have been put out there to put other clubs of the scent of our real targets. Young is the perfect example i think, utd definatly dont need any more wide players anymore so wont compete with us, maybe we never planned on buying young? Just a thought wot do you think?

Jonny8792 {Ed009's Note - I don't think there is such a thing as smoke screens really, but its important to remember that a lot of the targets mentioned could just be down to lazy journalism. I would not be surprised at all if a transfer everybody thought was off the cards came to fruition - Turan, for example.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 19:16:04
why are we messing about not signing adam, we spend countless money on henderson a mediocre player, pay wat oyston wants or well loose him ,

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 19:15:14
Hi Eds,

Please can you clear some stuff up for me, I have looked all over the internet for the preferred positions of all these players and everywhere says different!

Mata
Turan
Payet

Do you think we will just buy a LW or do you think a RW as well? Personally I feel we need both, with maxi and kuyt for cover.

Cheers mate
RedChris {Ed009's Note - I personally feel players are best utilised on their correct side, and Kenny feels the same as far as I can tell. Payet is a right midfielder, Mata prefers the left. The ambiguous case is Turan as he can play on either but if he joined I imagine it would be primarily to play on the right, a position I agree needs covering also.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 19:14:27
Hi Ed's Latest post from Metro...The Valencia winger is currently on international duty with Spain's youngsters in Denmark, and Barcelona are the latest club to have expressed an interest in the £20million-rated midfielder.
But the player's father and agent, Juan Snr, has said all transfer talks will be put on hold until after his son's Euro participation in Scandinavia.
'Until after the Euro, we won't listen to anybody. After that, we're willing to listen to all offers we receive, ' said Mata.
'Interest Barcelona? From next Monday on, we'll analyze what is the best option for the future.'
The Reds held talks with Mata's representatives some time ago, but Valencia were adamant that they would not sell.
Now though, it appears their hand may be forced after Mata's agent's recent comments, and an auction will probably ensue for the 23-year-old's services.

I Don't think this is good news for us ie an auction..just wondering wot u think

I am sure I will be wrong and I certainly hope I am, but what if Henderson was our big name signing and FSG thought making such a big (20mill aint little) signing would make the fans happy. Yea I know I am being more of the glass is half empty than full here and do have my own dreams of Clichy, Mata and Hazard but les be honest maybe Mata 40% chance, Clichy less than 30% and Hazard somewhere around less than 5%.

We have alot of fans and alot of rumours on here speculating we are going to spend in excess of 100mill. Just cant see it myself! Replys welcome

I have to disagree with macca.he reckons our main targets are EPL players.I think our targets are mainly forien players hence why we've been so quiet since the Henderson deal.I also don't think we are as interested in Adam or downing as were making out to be simply not good enough for a title push.expect things to get busy from 1st July onwards and most will be big suprises which no1 has even mentioned yet.

Wat you think eds...


Peepee89e {Ed009's Note - I think we'll see a balance of players from both sectors. Adam and Downing remain relatively likely to sign for the club, but I also think we'll sign another winger and probably a left back from abroad. A balance is incredibly important.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 19:01:20
I remember kk stating that the youngsters coming through would save us some money in the transfer window, so why on earth are we targeting loads of young british talent if we've already got it.

Save some money to add a bit of flair, yes proven players ie downing would add some expereince but why wickham and esp henderson. just seems excessive to me considering we've got so much potential anyway.

Ok ed's what are the chances of Juan Mata signing for LFC, and also I don't know if your allowed to answer this, but where do you get your info from? please post and answer {Ed009's Note - the editors all have different sources, and we can't tell you these things if we want to receive any more information in the future. I would give Mata a 4/10 - his father is impressed with our ambition and has consistently emphasised that Mata doesn't care about immediate Champions League football. At the same time there is an awful lot of competition and fine performances at the U-21's won't have helped us one bit.}
Oh ok so do you think LFC Fans should be optimistic or pesamisitic over the chances of signing Mata {Ed009's Note - I think if the club make a concerted effort to sign the player there is reason for reserved optimism. I'm certainly not feeling negative about the prospect.}

Evening all,
Continuing in the public spirited vein of this site, I'd like to offer a snippet of hopefully helpful information to any expectant parents out there who are hoping for a son to add to their family. A few suggested names :
Kenneth - meaning handsome, fair of face. Or in gaelic 'born of fire'.
Alex - meaning defender of men (eg Rooney, Giggs). Or in the sweet sweet gaelic 'surly red nosed old t***'.
Ashley - a biblical name meaning of the ash tree, ie wooden, rooted to the spot, good for carving.
Anyway, just some thoughts.
Hope u soon to be dads & mams choose wisely..

We don't need him he ain't good enough for the mighty reds let the dirty reds or spurs have him.

We should give them toffees 15 mil for baines

Question for ed 002.

Heard earlier tonight that both milan clubs had been asked by chelsea if they were interested in torres as villas boas is looking to replace torres with falcao. My source is pretty well connected in milan but this seems crazy to me.

Any truth? If so what kind of price they lookin for?

Rewflo {Ed002's Note - Chelsea have never hawked players around the market like that - so I will say no.}

In reply to this i just read it on tribalfootball not 15 minutes ago...

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 18:31:05
liverpool fans are generally regarded as intelligent people when it comes to football but some of the muppets that post on here absolutley amaze me, the latest one being, if ashley young is worth £15-17m then surely downing is only worth £10-12m, well let me explain in simple terms, last summer young was valued by villa at £25m and he had 2 years left on his contract, this summer with just 1 year left they've sold him for £15-17m, now downing has 2 years left hence villa value him at £17-20m, so to sum it up the longer the contract that the player has left determines the price his club can ask for him.

Ed, for centre back, do you think we could buy someone we haven't already been linked with yet? I haven't been that impressed with the players linked so far and I think there are better players available in the market. {Ed002's Note - It is possible.}

It seems unlikely since we have been linked to pretty much every player playing

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 18:30:00
Hey ed's, just wanting to voice a few concerns and see if you or any users would like to comment.
It's encouraging that were looking to buy youth at the moment as it can only help us in the long run, yet I do think that a bit of experience is needed to give us balance in the squad. Also I don't think all of our signing should be either English or have PL experience. Don't get me wrong it's a tough league and many have failed in it, yet we have seen befor that some players can take to it like a duck to water (Hernandez, Torres ect). I'm not saying that were not targeting players from other leagues and having no inside info means my view is made up of reading this site and hearing whispers from mates ect. But an injection of players that are creative and talented from all over the world can be a rewarding punt if not overly relied on such as some of the unlucky players that have failed at our great club.

Taking into consideration what I have already said, the players I would like to see us interested in are:

Downing- young, experienced and I believe can be valuable
Vargas- can cover the whole left side if needed and can provide a brilliant cross!
Cahill or dann- as a ready replacement for our ageing defence, without restricting our youth
Mata- don't want to be a broken record! Lol

Maybe some young potential to add to the list but I'm not goin dive into that as there are many players to choose from and I would probably be wide of the Mark on availability and intrest.

Anyway thanks for reading, any responses would be greatfull

MullyLFC {Ed009's Note - if we were to make those four signings I'd be pretty happy, but I'd replace Vargas for Downing and buy an out and out left back, or buy one instead of Vargas.}

Ed - can you explain why my post about AD on TS was acepted on the main site, but has not been posted on the Liverpool Site where it belongs?? {Ed009's Note - who is AD on TS?}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 18:28:01
Thanks for that answer Ed, do u rate Raul Meireles at all or do you think we would be better off selling him, please reply because I know everyone would probably be sad to see him leave! {Ed009's Note - I rate the player, I think he was a good member of our team last season and scored some crucial goals. At the same time though he shirked tackles and isn't really physically cut out for the league. He'd be a good squad member but at 28 if an offer near to 20 million came in it'd be foolish to say no.}

Ok to all,

Why do people think that if we buy a player from this league they will def settle in and do well. Personally I don't think it has much to with adapting to the league or style but more to do with adapting to pressure. British players are just as prone to being unable to handle the pressure of a big club as foreigners (robbie keane for eg).

Therefore I think its more important that the player has either performed in a high pressure environment or is young enough to adapt to it. Carroll and hendo are the latter. Downing unfortunately is neither. The only time its been high pressure for him is england and he has always performed badly there.

Liverpool want Angel Di Maria He Has Spoken That He Wants A Pay Rise And That Has Alerted Kenny Dalglish As Him And Damien Comolli See Him As A Perfect Soultion To Our Winger Problem (Source Sportsvibe)If We Are Paying Jovanovic 120,000 a week That Is What Di Maria Is On Then Surely We Could Give Di Maria His Pay Rise

Forgive me if this sounds stupid but are we actually paying jova 120,000 a week? After the U21s I'm starting to wonder why Henderson was worth the £16-20 mil we paid but after hearing that about jovas wages its making me think we are lacking some business brains at our beloved club. We seem to be linked with a lot of rubbish that we dont need and out of all the rumours this summer I'd only like to see Clichy and Mata sign and maybe Dann. we seem to be risking a lot of players that have potential rather than solid talent.

There has got to be a big signing because we definately need one and I hope to god its Mata the lad is class. the valencia friendly seems to point to this as well.

response to the above your judging henderson on three games?? your ridicluous just like most of our supposed fans

=====================================
There is enormous ignorance around the issue of salaries paid to players who came in on "frees". The actual salary is usualy significantly lower and the upfront fee to the player spread over the period. It's about time fans started improving their understanding of these things. (Ed's may know the answer, but I've heard that including the spread signing bonus, the figure for Jova was more like 100k than 120?)

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

It is obvious that english players, from english clubs to english clubs the prices are high.. e.g carroll £35 mill, Bent £24 mill, Henderson £16 mill, Jones about £20 mill..
And as for jovanovic, he was signed before we had Dalglish, Comolli, Clarke, FSG.. so they are looking to lower the wage bill which makes sense now.

To all the disbelievers who say adam and downing out good enough well charlie adam was in the shortlist for young Premier ship footballer (watever its called) tell me which liverpool player was on the list , secondly downing and adam both provided 9 assists each more then any liverpool players. So charlie adam and downing have played better then liverpool player themself in a team who were fighting to stay in the league.

Get a grip no one knows better then the king.

lad's to shed some light on the henderson transfer give the boy a chance and as some of you's might find out the deal is actually only 13m. have faith..

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 18:12:29
There is no way Berba is coming to Anfield. This isn't even worth discussing. Remember the Heinze saga!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 18:11:40
A guy over on the rumour site said that he had mutual friends with Adam in Blackpool, saying Adam did not want to move here. Whilst your information may not be completely false (although I suspect it is), you don't even seem to know the name of this friend of a friend. Charlie Adam, not 'Adams.' I'm not being a grammatical stickler, I'm just wondering why you don't know the name of the person to whom you have such access to.

Here we go again, same ole s**te from moaning fans again about why we haven't had more transfers and the ones we are linked with are all crap..
Just wait, see who we get, then moan if they are not to your liking, why boil blood for nothing. Have some faith and patience before you pull the trigger please.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 18:10:48
On skysports it says forlan up for sale and on Liverpool website it says is he too expensive . That is a coincidence . Plus him and suarez are international friends .

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 18:07:55
wy dont people like downing he is a much better player then a.young he put ballas in the box! thats what we NEED for andy and luis

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 17:59:31
Ed I'm getting the feeling that no matter who we sign this summer, people on here are moan bags and wont be happy with any of the additions!!! Its so annoying that people say Adam, Downing and Henderson aren't good enough for our club, I think if the 3 of these sign they'd improve the team a hell of a lot... People have to be realistic, we can only buy the players that want to join us, some players would prefer Spain or Italy, we can throw all the money in the world at them and they still wouldn't want to move to Liverpool. Every day now we're hearing 3/4 new players set to join the club, its getting stupid considering Kenny Dalglish and Damien Comolli are doing their business behind closed doors so who knows who the targets are?
Yea obviously this is a rumour site but it amazes me the amount of detail people are willing to go into just to say Kaka or Aguero are signing!!! Why bother? Players like these are not gonna happen, obviously the owners and Kenny want the best up and coming talent at the club! Shaqiri off the Swiss U21 team last night was quality and numerous players from the Spanish U21 side that wouldn't cost us £20m+. There are players out there that are good enough for our club and I'm sure Kenny and Comolli will try their best to bring them in...
Players that people call 'class' like Lavezzi, Neymar, Kaka and Aguero wont join, not only are their transfer fees way too much they want huge wages aswell, but if you actually done some research on these players their stats over the last 3 seasons actually suggest that the players are pretty average rather than class.
Ed I love the sight but even you must get fed up listening to drivel day in day out!!! Are some of these Liverpool "fans" losing the plot?

who is that person who says berbatov is joining, do me a favour. he is skilfull but too sulky!!! and wouldnt fit in with FSG buying policy. looking forward to july 1st and then we will see movement both ways
----------------------------------------

will people stop with this buying policy cr*p, yes it's true we want young players, but that doesn't mean we can't/won't buy older players if we want or need to. We don't follow strict guidelines as to specifications on buying a player, if it suits the club then a offer will be made

what are the chances of us getting leighton baines eds? cheers. {Ed002's Note - Slim. I can see him at Manchester City.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 17:57:39
whos better downing or young? if young then is downing worth more than 14m? am i getting the feeling that every other EPL team out there hates liverpool and wants to overcharge us?

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 17:57:06
Hi ed's, I live in Blackpool and share friends with Charlie Adams and I can tell you Liverpool is his third choice (thank god) Manchester United is the club he supports and spurs is his fianc s favoured destination. We don't need him he ain't good enough for the mighty reds let the dirty reds or spurs have him.
--------------------------------------------

For the 3000,000th time this week...It's Charlie Adam. So please, if you are thinking of lieing, prepare your script in advance & check over every detail.

For an 18yo conor wickham is so confident in front of goal.
and for a tall lad he's quick over ground and can easily beat players.would be a fantastic addition to are front line.

Hi eds
back in january i was buzzing when suarez and carroll came in because they are world class players
Seeing the players we are linked with makes me a bit dissappointed that we have not kept the expectation level which we had in january
what do you think eds-are use dissappointed with the players we have been linked with?
my ins
Wickham(11mil)
Johnson(20mil depending on city getting sanchez)
clichy(7.5mil)
Dann(12-14mil)
mata(23mil)
young back up keeper(1-3mil)
adam( depending with Meireles departure and price)
1 world class player
i would be happy with 4 of these players
cheers
great site {Ed009's Note - I'm disappointed with some of the players yes, but those we seem to have genuine interest I'm not. Mata would be a fantastic signing if it could be pulled off - whilst Adam, Downing and Wickham would all adding something to the squad to strengthen us significantly in my opinion. It's also important to note that lazy journalism contributes to a lot of the links; the international transfer window is yet to open and therefore we're being linked with players in the PL.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 17:50:08
I'm a life long Liverpool supporter from Australia and it makes me sick to read about some of the players we are linked with. While we are supposedly tryin' to buy players like Downing, Adam & Roux, teams like scum united, chelsea, arsenal and man city are buying expensive but quality players. By doing this we will never make ground on them. We should be buying players like Sanchez, Pastore & Mata coz we actually need them!

You make me sick u clown!! Who av arsenal chelsea or city bought so far? No one. Who av untied bought? Ashley young? Just so happened that downing got voted player of year above him! We might need quality additions to the squad like u mentioned but what we don't need is ball bags like you claiming to be supporters.

Mr t

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 17:49:34
Mata=Agree
Downing=Disagree

I think Downing is terrble and over-rated and 20 million for him is like paying 20 million for Milan Jovanovic.

Consequently, I go with Mata easily

Johnatham Patterson {Ed009's Note - just to interrupt; of course Mata is better than Downing, that is not a reasonable question. But with City's interest in the player amongst others, we may not be able to sign the player. Downing would be an apt back up in my personal opinion.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 17:49:09
just heard of my good mate torres that he is going because he wants to join the reds again

23 Jun 2011 17:38:34
Why do you ed's keep defending our mighty club buying Downing!!! He's sh@£e he makes kuyt look like yousain bolt. I thought the idea of bringing new players in where to help us challenge for a top 4 spot, can you imagine downing getting into any of the teams who finished above us last season? If we've got a limited budget for gods sake spend big and spend wisely on our weekness's and stop thinking of squad strengthening our kids can help out if we get injurys it's notblike we've got European football.

Buy a world class left back, right winger, left winger and that'll do for me.

In kenny we trust

In all honesty i fink liverpools next signing is goin to be DEJAN LOVREN if they can get a work permit that is.Cos comolli has already been in talks with lyon over the possible transfer yet we was linked to scott dann and birminghams only down the motorway and the english transfer markets open now so why go and have talks a week before the international market opens??JUST SUMFIN IM PONDERING DONT BITE MY HEAD OFF LOL

HEY LFC FANS..AND EDS....

let me just make 1 thing clear....to those idiots who say downing is slow.....my god what are you talking about..the dude is fast! havent you watched england vs wales..or seen him run
also name 1 player except luis suarez..who can run down the wing..and push the full back towards the goal area?? anyone?
no........because they all check back on their right foot whoever plays on the left...or comes inside on the right!
so stop complaining.....dont u understand..we dont have any wingers in the whole squad!

I am currently embroiled in an imaginary, but extensive, online football management game called simply "Soccer Manager".
I am not trying to sell this game (as it is free, genuinely), but am simply trying to make a point.
I LOVE this game, and it allows me to control my imagination when the football season ends. Everyone loves transfer rumours, and everyone loves talking to their friends about who they'd like to see join their club, and what stories they've read in the papers about possible signings.
There is, though, always a limit to how many plausible stories there are per week.
In this online game, I can scout, and subsequently purchase, any players that the success (professionally, and financially) of my team allows. I manage Birmingham (as liverpool are a desirible team, that are always taken first), and have signed Hazard, Jovetic, Pjanic, Rossi, Milito, RVP etc.

My point is this.
This, right here on these very pages, is REAL LIFE.
It is blatantly obvious that 95% of every single rumour on this page, is either someone fantastically inventing a reason why a top player would come to us (my dads mate, my brothers collegue, my dog walkers cousins nan), or someone regurgitating a (possibly bogus) rumour they heard 30 mins ago(there is a reason rumours 'gather pace'!)
It is obvious, therefore uninteresting.
I read these pages, because they occasionally provide a reasonably plausible rumour, which are then (ofter with hilariously sarcastic wit) commented upon by the very excellent editors.
I do not enjoy the one line 'deal dones', of 'you heard it hear first' (i can hear bulls&*t first ANYWHERE).
Please allow yourselves some restraint when brain vomiting fantasies onto these pages, as most of them are simply dumb and boring.

The Insane

p.s. Would be happy with Downing, delighted with Mata or Payet, and relitavely chuffed with Forlan. My dad knows no one in order for me to realistically substantiate any of these as rumours.

Dear LFC Fans
From following this site every day for the past year it brightens up my day with some really funny comments about players and their sources, this website should be used for what it is a rumours site and to have a good old laugh at instead of slating people for using their imaginations.

My Ins this summer are:-

Adam, Downing, Dann, Clichy and i wouldnt be suprised if we had a look at Forlan. What do you think eds?
Also outs will be Cole, Jova, konchesky and probably some loan deals for Pacheco and Shelvey who both still have a great future at the club. Steveo

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

I really dont know what LFC scouts saw in Shelvey, total and utter pants.

hi eds . im loving this site.I asked this question earlier today but it didnt get posted, not sure why....anyway , here it goes again...I'd just like to know if anyone has any info on how Kenny and Commoli are getting on in their working relationship and respective roles regarding transfers. Ive give up on trying to guess who they are after as there doesnt seem to be any good sources to be found anywhere here (no offence , i think as youve pointed out its a sign that the club are running their business properly)...but maybe someone can shed some light on whether the afforemerntioned parties are as unified as it looks from the outside??

23 Jun 2011 17:10:57
Hi EDS. Can I just say that despite a lot of people saying Downing isn't good enough, just think how good Andy Carroll could be this season. Without doubt Downings best feature is his crossing ability and I for one would welcome a natural left footer who can pick out Carrolls' bonce with every cross!
I also think Clichy would be a good option simply for his Premiership experience, I do think this goes a long way in this league. KK and DC will no doubt surprise us with a quality signing that no-one saw coming too.
Coily.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 17:07:54
Why o why r Liverpool going 4 downing for approx 17 m when they can get Charles nzogbia for about 10m he can beat players at will downing hasn't dribbled past anyone in about 5 years he ain't fast he doesn't score I am just baffled why Liverpool fc are going for such a mediocre player if I can see the difference as a fan why the he'll can't the scouts
...............................

he does'nt score? ask pepe reina what it felt like then when he smashed the ball pst him at villa park a few weeks ago, get your facts right ------------------------ wow he scored one goal against us! check his stats, he never scores. he average at best and will be a failure at liverpool.

Now that di Maria and berbaflop have been mentioned, dont all start with the I've just seen them in a Liverpool restaurant, hotel, anfield etc. I personally think we don't stand a chance of getting di Maria and berbatov is a miserable p***k who we wouldn't sign anyway.. My apologise for being a knob but deep down u all know it's true haha. Toxteth red

23 Jun 2011 16:44:39
The Mancs have already signed Phil Jones and Ashley Young while we, at Lfc, are still just dreaming and waiting for our dreams to come true. that's so stalemate from Lfc. i think we'll sign only 1 more player besides Henderson.

You would be one happy fan. Those are all AVERAGE players apart from Mata, who we will not get. Stop thinking like a top 6 club and start thinking like a top 1 club and realise that we need QUALITY. Downing does not fall into that bracket. Nor does Dann, or Clichy...Wickham certainly wont make an impact for 2 seasons at least, and Adam is decent squad player if he came. Pls post in rumours as i'm annoyed with LFC fans who keep on accepting these players, that we are rumoured to be buying, as quality.
========================

Like I said earlier your prob one of those fans who want Aguero, Mata etc. all well and good mate but Id well prefer if he got average players because KK knew they would gel well and play awesome.

We want a top club not a top player

LFC Paddy

----------------------------------
LFC paddy. I don't think that some people can get their head around us buying players for the problem area's who will fit into the kings plan for the right price. Although the 19mil thats being touted around for Downing isn't. Some people just want the fantasy football names

If we end up with Downing, Clichy, Dann, Wickham and a right winger and then get rid of the s**te by the choice of the king, then I'm a happy man. LB, LW, RW are the positions crying out for new faces as we all know, so as long as those positions are sorted out then sound. everything else is a bonus. (and I've got a feeling there will be the odd Brusie bonus) Obviously squad depth is something we need too.

Lets not get carried away with the Agureo, Hazzard, Sanchez merchants. Remember Kelly will be fit and ready. Spearing is looking good. Flanagan and Robinson have first team experience now. We'll have a fit and ready Carroll, as well as young Henderson along side the players we already have with the potential signings. All positives in my opinion.

Am I setting my sites too low? No. Am I settling for second best? No. I'm optimistic and happy that KK is our manager again. I'm happy that Steve Clarke's his right hand man. I'm happy that we're talking about a new stadium or an improved Anfeild with confidence it will actually happen this time. I'm happy we're spending money on players without having to sell. Most importantly though, I've got confidence in what the king, Commoli and the owners are doing. If anybody can change our fortunes around then its the king. He'll have a full season to work his magic next time round. Inconsistancies against lesser teams is what has let us down before. Sort that out and we'll be in amongst the top teams.

Just a quick enquiry...
Eds or Site visitors, Anyone got any idea what the text regarding Liverpool going round the times journos consists of?
Tony Evans said it would send twitter into meltdown, and Ben Smith mentioned it as a positive when discussing LFC transfer targets.. It originally came from Tony Barrett who has a lot to do with Liverpool as a club. {Ed002's Note - I am not hip to Twitter, sorry.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 16:32:54
hi fellow red men just been reading over some of the posts today and i can sense a bit of glass half empty feelings about who and what we are going to be signing. Well i for one disagree with the glass half empty view mines is half full and I know fine well there isnt a better man out there that knows what our club needs more than the king him self. king kenny has played with and managed some of the finest footballers our club has seen he knows the quality of a footballer and makes that player surpass his potential. I trust the hands our club is in now and think patience is key here, The club was shaken to its very foundations i honestly feared for the worst but as the old saying goes what doesnt kill you makes you stronger i am proud to be a LIVERPOOL FC supporter always have been always will be. Im just glad king kenny came back when he did because i thought the liverpool way was missing for a while their things were not the same but the feelings returned of togetherness many voices but one song YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 16:31:19
Anyone else getting a bit fed up of Man United wrapping up deals quickly whilst we just seem to plod along. I know its the "Liverpool way" to keep everyting in house but I'd like us to be atleast wrapping up deals. Sick to death of hearing we are signing "Juan Mata, Kun Aguero" etc We can't attract these players! Otherwise why are we trying to sign the likes of Stewart Downing,

We need at least 5 quality players if we want to challange, and we will end up with no top targets if Commoli doesnt pull his finger out. We've lost out on both Young and Jones to Man United now, they'll probably go for Charlie Adam as well. Proper disheartening. Chelsea will go buy half of Porto team Falcao, Hulk, Moutinho etc, Man City will have a big summer (whats new), we won't be back in the top 4 for atleast 5 years as everyone who finished above us last year have better squads and are adding to them as well with proven quality players. We seem to be targeting players with potential (bright future, but we need good players ready to make an impact now), or french no marks like Nolan Roux.

Player I have heard wants a move and appears to fit the bill in the third striker slot is Jo from Man City.

Heard any interest from liverpool as i believe he is a good player Ed? {Ed001's Note - he is rubbish, not even good enough to get a game for an Everton side that were bereft of strikers.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 16:31:00
"Galatasaray are interested in Joe Cole.
There is also interest from another Turkish club, unknown to me at this time. Both are willing to pay high wages to the player. Apperently they haven't learnt the lesson from Harry Kewell...
Don't care as long as we offload him though.

-=Solar=-""

Fantastic! If Gala are interested, hopefully we can negotiate a deal involving Joe Cole and Arda Turan.
Like
Arda Turan = 8m + Joe Cole?

I have a few connections in Switzerland and all the media is talking about liverpools approach to Fc Basel for the services of Xherdan Shaqiri, so dont try to deny it, check it out {Ed001's Note - actually they are talking about Roma being linked with him.}

How many times do I have to say it; he can't pass, is a ball hog and not a team player. Wastes good oppertunities every game by shooting from 30 yards; I'd score if I had 20 long shots a game. BALL HOG

I have been reading the posts on this site for sometime now but have never posted any comment whatsoever. However I am becoming increasingly frustrated by some of the comments regarding players who are apparently "not good enough for Liverpool" and are only perceived as a "good player" because they played for a bad team. Lets take Charlie Adam who had not only in Blackpool supporters opinion but the concensus of most of the premier league an outstanding season. His range of passing and dead ball technic was superb. He did not stand out in this team as a good player because others around him were so bad but because he was better then the opposition he was playing against. Are we to say that we shouldn't of signed John Barnes for the same reason. In my opinion if both Downing & Adam can excel in a lesser side what can they achieve playing alongside the likes of Stevie G, Suarez &CO and wokring with the likes of KK & SC. If they had come from a poorer league then there maybe cause for concern but they aren't. KK is trying to build a team/squad that works as one as a unit with each player having the right skills and ability to not only be individually good but that compliments each other. Downing may not be perceived to be as good as the other names mentioned on this site but clearly KK feels he will fit the style of football he wants to play and will bring out the best of other players round him. Can we win the title without the so called "marquee" signings everyone is calling for and the answer is 100% yes. Do we think the signing of Aldridge, Houghton, Nicols etc. were "marquee" signings and player for player probably not as good as a lot of other's who played in the same position for other clubs but they fitted in with our system seamlessly to what effect "title winning team". I know not the PL but look what Raf did with Valencia he didn't have 11 stars in his team but he had one hell of a team that was almost telepathic beating Barcelona & Real Madrid to the title. So as much as we are sometimes perplexed at some of the players we are linked with and astonished who we are not going for and mostly how much we are paying therse one man that knows what he's doing, he's done it before and he will do it again so lets trust his judgment and get behind the players we sign. You never know if we do sign Downing he could well be Englands first choice LW within a year or so after working with KK. As the great man always says "we'll just add up the points at the end of the season and will see where we are" wouldn't be suprised if we all have one massive smile on our faces !!!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 16:22:56
All these people sayin Adam and Downing arnt good enough need to trust kk more. Downing is a good crosser of the ball and Adam was probably the best in the prem last season at dead balls. Think about all the goals we'll get from Downings croses and Adams corners when with Carroll getting on the end of them and Gerrard and Suarez lurking on the edge of the box

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 16:19:47
on the back of the echo is that liverpool are "keen on wickham" this probs means there is a very good chance it could happen as the echo never prints with out good info and is hardly ever wrong!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 16:10:39
That said, Henderson proved a big success in the Premier League last season by creating far more chances for his team than anyone else, and by ranking in the top three in the entire division for key passes. At 20, in a mid-table side, that's really good going.

Apparently "£20m" (even thought it's £16m) is an outrageous price to pay for a young full England international who started 37 out of 38 Premier League games last season, but Man United paying £16m (rising to £20m) for an uncapped even younger player a defender, at that, with their lower average price tag is "clever business"....

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

A good read, maybe some of our supporters should take note before condemning a player before he has kicked a ball...

Phew!! radio station just issued an apology it's Xabis brother who's being linked as he wants to come back to the Prem. Man Utd being his preference as he still owns a House in Greater Manchester from his time with Bolton and his Team have just been relegated from La Liga

solskjaer was a liverpool supporter but joined man u. Carra was a blue and look at owen. players join teams for 3 reasons - to challenge for trophies, to play most weeks or for money. Lennon would probably get all 3 from liverpool so just cos he supports man u wouldnt stop him from joining if we offered him a contract

Hi Guys, ivegot a good contact and he has informed me that Aaron Lenon is going to be moving from Spurs with Liverpool and Man City both interested. The player himself would want to play for Liverpool as he is wanting game time rather than be a bench warmer at Man City (Reason he wants to leave Spurs, is that he was not informed about a bid in Jan from city about him...App hewaskicking offwith Harryand the chairman saying he wants out because of the dishonesty....

You heard it first from me.... YNWA.
Why lie let me tell you Aaron Lennon will never join end of story source Aaron Lennon phone call he's in Spain at the moment as well if you want to know so can everybody please give this Roumer up he is a man u fan why would he want to join one of there biggest rivals

Just saw an elderly fellow in Primark who cocked his hat at me in a jaunty manner and gave a knowing wink. It took this to mean we are going to sign Juan Mata!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 15:37:15
Shoot me down if you want but we seem to be interested in quite a few defenders. Now here I go....I would not be surprised to see Carragher leave during this window. Kenny has a history of making statements by clearing out the old and buying new. Kennedy, Neal, Beardsley. He has no problem in letting a legend go and I for one, as much as I think he has been amazing for us, would support the change. Start abuse in 3, 2.......

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 15:35:48
I am good friends with Ryan Lowe Former chester city play, Ryan is a close friend of Gerrards and has been told Liverpool will have a former interview with Valencia over the sale of Mata, if this fails Liverpool will go in for Downing or Johnson, Liverpool will also be trying to sign Scot Dann and Charlie Adam

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 15:35:46
It obvious there is a split between fans on Downing, what will be interesting is if he does sign.

I don't like the player but I wont blame him if he ends up playing for us, ill support KK decision to bring him in.

God help him if he doesn't perform because we have seen how the pressure of playing for Liverpool can get to players and mangers look at Babel and Woy!

Downing doesn't have the confidence as a player to deal with that expectation.

19M FOR DOWNING!! What the hell is going on?!
There are so many better wingers than him for much cheaper prices, why are we paying over the odds for all these english players?! Carroll - 35m (20m at best), henderson - 20m (14m at best), downing 19m (12m at best)

Turan 14m, Diego Capel 14m, Payet 12m, Marin 16m, Mata 22m (he's worth it though), Cazorla 14m etc

Why are we going for downing?? Considering his age and his pricetag he's not even near to the type of players that the club said we would sign... We'd be better off with mata or lennon cause they are twice as good as downing and cost approximately the same amount of money...

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 15:16:12
Stewart Downing knows the English game well and he will know all about KK and will want to do his best for such a legend. I do not think he is the best option, but KK would get the best out of him and who knows he could just get better and better with us! As soon as he puts in some crosses and big Andy gets on the end of them, everyone will be raving about him. Give the lad a chance if we sign him!

1st Post, Seen this 2day thought I would share
Sunderland's bid for Ipswich teenager Connor Wickham may come to nothing as the striker is waiting for a move to Liverpool or Arsenal.
Full story: Metro

Liverpool have been told they will need to pay £13.5m to sign St Etienne winger Dimitri Payet. Aston Villa's Stewart Downing had been Reds boss Kenny Dalglish's target for that position but Payet could be an alternative.
Full story: talkSport

re:wingers, whoever comes in will always be compared to heighway, barnes, mcmanaman. There is nobody as good as any of these three, unless you pay top dollar e.g. 30 mil plus, the only one who is proven in the premiership and at international level is Robben and he aint leaving Bayern anytime soon. A winger needs to be a game changer as well as a team player and Robben can play off either wing. The closest thing here is Adam Johnson and i would rather the money being earmarked for Downing used in an effort to get him especially as city are now sniffing around Sanchez. DC needs to do whatever he can to de-stabilise his relationship at city and make lfc a more attractive proposition. He would slot straight into the first team either on the wings of a 4-4-2 or on the left side of a fluid 4-3-3.

I am afraid City is not selling A.Johnson.

The reason Robben ain't playing in the Prem anymore or La Liga is the same old inconsistent Winger Syndrome standing out on the wing with a pair of gloves on and then falling over when the ball does come his way..Robben is good for Holland though!! but that just proves my point how often do Holland play.
Adam Johnson? go on the Blue Moon Citeh site same thing aimed at him by Citeh fans inconsistent doesn't get involved.
Barca system is much better attacking fullbacks compact midfield, players with an for goal upfront.

I think if Agger is fit and is in a clear medical condition then keep him.
He is a solid defender when he plays and he can strike a ball too. in saying that though I understand why we would get rid of him, we took that risk with Kewell and we all know how that went

23 Jun 2011 14:51:24
Ed, whilst Downing is not a spectacular player, he is a grafter, a team player and his stats show that both at Boro and Villa he has consistently delivered a huge volume of quality crosses into the box. Unless I am mistaken we don't exactly have a huge number of players in our squad with this quality who can play on either flank. Downing would be manna from heaven for someone like Carroll. Quality deliveries into the box would make Carroll unplayable. If Downing joins us he will give our squad something different and his signature would not mean the end of our pursuant of a player such as Mata who would have a very different role in the team. KK is addressing specific shortcomings in our squad. Once the basics are in place (and KK knows his basics far better than any of us) KK will then look to bring in a player or two with that bit of spectacular genius to add to Gerrard and Suarez who undoubtedly have this quality.

You would be one happy fan. Those are all AVERAGE players apart from Mata, who we will not get. Stop thinking like a top 6 club and start thinking like a top 1 club and realise that we need QUALITY. Downing does not fall into that bracket. Nor does Dann, or Clichy...Wickham certainly wont make an impact for 2 seasons at least, and Adam is decent squad player if he came. Pls post in rumours as i'm annoyed with LFC fans who keep on accepting these players, that we are rumoured to be buying, as quality.
========================

Why do it matter to people how much money a player costs, as long as the owners are happy and the king is happy why does it matter if downing is going to Cody £80 million. When the other joke of owners we had didn't spend anything loads of u kicked off, now we are flexing our financial muscles and spending the money you kick off to!

Get real and trust Dalglish the futures bright at the club, just get behind the team and stop winging! That is all

For the love of good God why are so people impatient over our transfer activity, everyday on this all I see, why havent we signed such and such a player, 20 million wasted on Henderson, Yadda Yadda! What is the rush? The international window opens July 1st , this also means cheaper options/better value for money can be got abroad compared to some prices been quoted for young English players. I firmly trust KK and his recruitment policy, he knows what he is doing. Someone posted that there was alleged interest in John O'Shea, I am not saying sign him up, but we could do with a couple of players with experience of winning the league and knowing what it takes.Currently we only have Joe Cole, but he's hardly what you call inspirational stuff!
Dont get me wrong Stevie G is a born LFC leader, but maybe having a couple players with multiple titles under their belts (O'Shea, Abidal) like players, could act as a positive influence in the dressing room and on the pitch.

People are far too quick to write players off, any Player KK will sign will be moulded into the LFC way, regardless if they are a 20 year old rookie or a 30 + veteran.

I think KK will develop a well balanced side between young and old players. The idea that KK won't be let sign a player over 30 is quiet frankly ridiculous, if KK thinks a player of this age can bring quality and improvement to the squad he will be allowed to sign him.I accept the emphasis is on young British players, but I wouldn't be surprised if KK surprised us all with one or two more experienced players

Sign both A.Johnson and Downing and we have all the wide players we need.
Left: Downing, A.Johnson.
Right: G.Johnson, Henderson.
With Kelly and Flanagan cementing their places to the right back spot, I think Glen will be pushed forward. Thats why i think we're only being linked with Left sided players.
£40m for Downing and Adam and then our wings are fixed with £70m worth of talent.
Downing - £19m
A.Johnson - £20m
G.Johnson - £18m
Henderson £16m
Total - £73m of wingers!
Then we can fix the defence up, new keeper, get in another midfielder and a young striker.
My choices: Mihaylov, Lovren, Cissokho, Sissoko, Wickham.
Mihaylov - 3m euros
Lovren - 10m euros
Cissokho - 14m euros
Sissoko - 14m euros
Wickham - £12m
A.Johnson - £20m
Downing - £19m
Henderson - £16m

Just my opinion but everyone seems to be ranting over mata but shaquri a much better player (emlyn)

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 14:31:11
I can only assume it is a moneyball thing. Whilst the Moneyball ethos wont really translate fully to football, wingers are one position where it could. All you really need from a winger is to get a good cross into the box. Speed will help him do that, as will trickery, but they arent essential. Beckham never beat a man, but his crossing was exemplary. Downing is that kind of player - underrated, but statistically better than given credit for. Bit like Lucas. Bit like Henderson, in fact.

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

I agree with this, quick wingers are amazing in throw prime but if they lose their pace that's it!! Wingers such as downing aren't so quick but have a much longer career (which is why he is the only player over the 25yo bracket!!

23 Jun 2011 14:22:20
I don't get why were being linked with so many center midfielders we have :
1. Meireles - great season
2. Lucas - new contract/great season
3. Gerrard - simply gerrard
4. Henderson - alot of money
5. Spearing - starting to challenge
6. Shelvey - young needs another season.

so why would we need ADAM who would properly only displace Spearing or Shelvey on that list. To spend £10million seems ridiculous to me.

Why o why r Liverpool going 4 downing for approx 17 m when they can get Charles nzogbia for about 10m he can beat players at will downing hasn't dribbled past anyone in about 5 years he ain't fast he doesn't score I am just baffled why Liverpool fc are going for such a mediocre player if I can see the difference as a fan why the he'll can't the scouts

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

King Kenny should be absolutely ashamed of himself for not recognising your evidently world class scouting ability. I'm sure it s only a matter of time before you get the call and are initiated into the backroom staff at Anfield, an then we, the Real Fans can look forward to you putting your knowledge and experience to good use and bringing in some world beaters ..Who knows, you might even be able to coax Steve Lomas, Julian Joachim and Les Ferdinand out of retirement and sign them up for a few seasons. Good Luck with the new job mate!!
If we get Adam, Downing, Wickham, Dann, Clichy and maybe one of Mata and Jeffren, I would be one happy Liverpool fan! Thanks again Eds, Keep up the good work. Please post this in rumours.
Peace out

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

Agreed. Downing is an average player which isn't a step forward. I'm not saying it is a step backwards, it's just definately not forwards.

The fact that he is rarely selected for Internationals and the other teams that are interested in him proves that as well.

Bad player, we need to stay well clear.

realistically the only thing Downing has over the others is he knows how the Premiership works, I just still dont believe he is whats needed. I would sooner welcome Wilshere, Gamst-Pederson, Zhirkov, Nani or Malouda.

Personally I reckon they would suit alot better

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

Are you serious? Gamst Pederson or Zhirkov! Wilshere is not a winger and certainly not in the same price bracket as Downing.

Personally I would prefer Scott Dann to Downing. ;)

Re Mata.

Prior to Liverpool signing Torres - a pre-season friendly was arranged with Atletico.
Prior to Liverpool signing Reina - a pre-season friendly was arranged with Villareal.
Low and behold, a pre-season friendly has been arranged with Valencia this August.

Based on the above, it looks interesting...

Why o why r Liverpool going 4 downing for approx 17 m when they can get Charles nzogbia for about 10m he can beat players at will downing hasn't dribbled past anyone in about 5 years he ain't fast he doesn't score I am just baffled why Liverpool fc are going for such a mediocre player if I can see the difference as a fan why the he'll can't the scouts

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

King Kenny should be absolutely ashamed of himself for not recognising your evidently world class scouting ability. I'm sure it s only a matter of time before you get the call and are initiated into the backroom staff at Anfield, an then we, the Real Fans can look forward to you putting your knowledge and experience to good use and bringing in some world beaters ..Who knows, you might even be able to coax Steve Lomas, Julian Joachim and Les Ferdinand out of retirement and sign them up for a few seasons. Good Luck with the new job mate!!
If we get Adam, Downing, Wickham, Dann, Clichy and maybe one of Mata and Jeffren, I would be one happy Liverpool fan! Thanks again Eds, Keep up the good work. Please post this in rumours.

Hi Ed, I have stumbled across this while trawling the web, what are your opinions on this, plans are in place for a 16-team competition - the NextGen Series - involving teams from all the major nations on the continent, Manchester City have helped pioneer the idea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Aston Villa will be England's representatives when the event debuts in September, Celtic are Scotland's sole team while Barcelona, Inter Milan and Sporting Lisbon are also involved. City have already withdrawn from next season's reserve league, do you know have LFC withdrawn from the ressie league, I understand that the average age of the players involved will be 17-19 years, personally I think this is a pretty good idea.

CM68 {Ed001's Note - as far as I know we are entering a team in both, the reserves are going to be U21s next season.}

Adam is looking less and likely. There have been a few rumours about Moussa Sissoko as an alternative (far better in my opinion), ed i sthere anything new on this? Do you know if anybody else is pursuing him?

Cheers,

Kop Chris {Ed001's Note - nothing new, no, but we were interested in both so I don't see why it is suddenly becoming an either or.}
-------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the reply Ed. I just thought that now we've signed Henderson even if Raul goes surely we won't buy 2 more cm's. Also, do you know if any of the interest in Raul is genuine? One of the papers is saying he could go to Juve for 13mill. Isn't that less than we paid for him?

Kop Chris {Ed001's Note - we paid 10.5m for him if I remember correctly. Henderson isn't just a central midfielder, I can see him playing for us on the right. He offers an ability to cross that we currently lack on the right.}

--------------------------------------------------Dalglish Comolli and the scouts watch and have more knowledge than we will ever have concerning targets for Liverpool.
Downing's Premier league cross stats are the 2nd best in the league over 420 crosses into the danger area last season, 2nd only to Leighton Baines. He also had good stats when at boro. We have spent a lot of money on strikers lets give them the service...have faith , Dalgish and Comolli know thier stuff better than any of us.

Hi Eds. A few answers I would be interested to hear your personal preferences on.
1. Would you rather Liverpool FC sign Stewart Downing or Adam Johnson?
2. From the Centre Backs mentioned so far this summer, who would you like to see on Anfield most out of Scott Dann etc.
3. Who do you personally prefer for Left Back out of Enrique and Gael Clichy?

Cheers {Ed002's Note - I am not going to get involved in such things, sorry.}

Joe Coles name is not high enough like beckhams, to get a transfer to the two clubs abroad that have been mentioned, and even if he was prepaired to take a £20 grand a week pay cut, he is still to pricey for moany prem teams, your stuck with him and his £90 grand a week wages.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 13:08:49
If Berbatov is surplus to requirements at manutd then i realy think Kenny should be pulling out all the stops to ensure he makes the move down the M62, Best player I have ever seen live and the perfect foil for Suarez, people that aint got a clue about football (manutd fans) think he is lazy...... so was Bergkamp, Cantona, Zola, Romario, The list is endless, if you can read and understand the game then you don't have to run around looking like a fool for 90 minutes. {Ed001's Note - hahahaha sorry but that is the funniest post ever thank you!}

Eds, make of this what you will, but my two week old newborn baby was lying in her moses basket last night and I distinctly heard her make a crying noise which sounded like "kaaakaaaa".

She has always been right in the past on matters such as whether she needs feeding or her nappy changing so I have no reason to believe she would be wrong on this.

I have yet to get details from her of the price or transfer date but will update you when I hear.

23 Jun 2011 13:01:01
some people on this site are so full of sh** they really are. most of you are living in dream world. ive been looking at this site now for the past month and the amount of people that have said downing, adam, wickham and mata will be all signed in the next 2 week ur ALL WRONG! its been 2 week? who have we signed??? Jordan henderson thats it so far?

Do u have any indication ED of when or who the next liverpool signing will be? {Ed001's Note - no I honestly don't, under the new regime the only way of finding out is when we make contact with the other club. It is a case of waiting until something leaks from them and right now I have nothing.}

A lot of people think that the potential signing of Downing would rule out the signing of Mata. I feel this is not the case, Downing has a very good cross and travels down the wings very will. This is good as it will supply balls for carrol, Mata on the other hand is a LW and has a left foot however he is the type of winger that likes to play on the opposite side and cuts in and almost plays as a CAM. This can clearly be seen in the Spanish UN21 games where he always drifts in and makes clever passes and runs infront and behind the back four. This is what suarez does and them to would combine with each other perfectly. Then you may ask if he his cutting in who will supply crosses from the right? Well every professional have both feet so he can cross, although like Montoya (spanish un21 rb) does he works up and down the line to put in a cross and this is something we have in abundance fast RB suited to run forward (glen and martin)

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 12:56:23
The issue we have hear is Comolli......he is all out for French players!! The National team is rubbish, there leagues are rubbish, therefore there players are....yes you can guess!! This reminds me of when we had Houllier, Diao, Chevrou etc. Please Kenny get your back up now. Young has gone and strengthened our rivals...we missed a trick there and should have gone in 20 mil for him at the start, signed and seeled. Mata won't come to Liverpool, he will wait for a Champions league team for sure, therfore Downing is our only sensible option, wants to come so get him. He is versitile across the midfield, can score goals, is an international and has a trick or too + he is proven. I am dissappointed this year so far!!!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 12:52:51
To the fans complaining about downing, Henderson and Adam and any other over priced British player just consider what is trying to be achieved.

LFC is a great Club but we have fallen away from our perch and been over taken by the Mancs and Chelshki as they have a core of British or premiership type players , yet with Houllier and Rafa we had a cont style team hence the success in Europe.

We all crave success on these shores and Gerard and co would swap his medals for the 19th and 20th title.KK is doing the right thing buy competent premiership players that will fit in to his style of play and more importantly atitude has to be right , with all of Carolls personal problems he fights for the cause on the pitch (not literally) , We need to go back to what brought us success , you only have to look at Barcelona who have a core of Spanish players who play within system and not for themselves.Barcelona have even got rid of the big name players who ruined their system Ibraham and ETO and replaced them with Pedro and villa .

KK will show all the doubters that his choices will make a difference to success in the premiership.

Judge his signings in may 2012 not june 2011.

Sorry Ed's, meant this for the banter page not rumour, my bad.

I am struggling to understand all of the negativity flooding this site over the last couple of weeks.

Why does everyone expect every transfer to be done and dusted within 5 minutes, its never happened that way and it never will. Our competitors haven't signed 7 players each so why should we have.

All the moaning that we haven't gotten rid of the deadwood yet as well. July transfer window works 2 ways, 1. we can buy from abroad, 2. We can sell to abroad.

Insua, Darby, Degan, Aqualani, Jovanovic, N'Gog, El Zhar, Poulsen, Rodriguez and if rumours are correct and Meireles does go, we are going to earn more money by selling these players to European teams, to European leagues where they will look like good players as opposed to the average or poor players in the premiership (apart from Meireles who has had a good season). Some of these players are still respected in the leagues they were originally in so to accept £1m for say Jovanovic from QPR when a team from the belgian league remember how good he was at Standard Liege and bid £6m for him.

The only 2 players that are more than likely to be offloaded to british teams is Konchesky and Cole and their have been teams linked with both of these already so I don't think its time to panic yet. I wouldn't be surprised to see Cole maybe go abroad mind. I think maybe LA galaxy or Qatar or somewhere like that, as they would pay the wage he is looking for, he says he wants to go back to London but if that was the case and he had such strong feelings about going back home, a wage cut wouldn't bother him in the slightest. So maybe Konchesky will be the only player to move to another English team.

Anyway, we will continue to guess who's coming in, continue to guess who we are selling to who, and continue to be incorrect and suitably impressed when King Kenny does what he's paid to do, sign the right players and bring in number 19 next season.

As always ed's, great site, knowing how busy you are at the moment, more than impressed that you find the time to reply to some of the more trying posts shall we say.

WE ARE NOT GETTING MATA. END OF

How could you possibly know this? Do you have inside knowledge that we should know about? Mata is a possibility, as well as the other players we are interested in. We may not be as attractive as a team with Champions League football, however with the current rebuild going on players like Mata are possibles. I believe he would be an amazing addition to our current squad. Downing is probably more likely to come but I believe that we could attract anyone this season. Remember that it is early days, the majority of players we are being linked with will not be the same players we are linked with later on in the window. It is very exciting times for Liverpool F.C. I cannot remember being this excited for an upcoming season.

The rumours surrounding Downing coming to Lfc could be spot on.
Seems to me Kenny wants high energy players who are not just good with the ball but will also work their socks off to get it back off the opposition when we lose posession. Gerrard, Lucas, Kuyt, Suarez, Downing, Adam and Henderson, we'll win the ball back quickly!! Then we'll keep good posession similar to Barca ; simple isn't it?
Next Season will be a milestone for us, so have faith in King Kennys vision for our Future.
It's Looking Really Good to Me!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 12:29:36
Once again the so called fans are on again slagging off another player, in this case downing before he's even signed saying he's not good enough, he's not quick enough, mata or some other jonny foriegener would be better, well how do you obvious experts know this as none of them have any premier league experience atleast downing has and as good as mata might look in an under 21 tournament could he physically stand up to the rigours of the premier league, personally i don't think so, so if kk decides it's downing he wants then you've all got two choices, either back the managers choice and support the lad or f*** off and 'support' someone else.

There are two problems with Joe Cole (and other players at LFC and other clubs) ...he probably will not play regularly and his wages make it difficult to sell him to someone else. He is 30 now and has 3 years left on his contract. IF he wants to play football and maybe get back into the England camp he must recognise that he should move and accept less money in terms of salary. Why is it that footballers seem to think their wages should always go up and never have to come down a bit?

In any other industry, he would be fired for not performing to expected levels....protected species or what?

hi ed
first off. why is there manchester united ad on the liverpool page.


we have kelly and johnson for rb so thats ok left back we dont really have anyone i know the kids from reserves did well. but i think we need to left backs clincy from arsenal would be good and baines or the lad from newcastle.

then we have agger skirkle and caggs for cb's
i think we need 2 cos agger always injured and caggs injured for a while last season and getting on in age

cm we have henderson spearing gerrard merlelse lucas. i think we need someone else there who can score goals so for me charlie adam

need 2 wingers one on each side and maybe another who can play either side and strikers we have kuyt carrol and swarez so need another

i think you need 2 players in every place
and a strong bench what you think ad

and please remove the man u ad from lfc page {Ed002's Note - The ads are driven by Google and are based on a profile based on pages you visit and searches you make.

People posting about Downing, the facts are he was a good player in a bad team.So whos to say he won't be a great player when playing alongside great players gerrard, saurez, carragher.Playing with these will bring out the best in him.How do any of us know how mata would settle in if we bought him.He could flop.If we were going to buy world class proven players for every position our budget would allow for two max.So lets get realistic.Can i get your opinion on this Ed ?(RD.RED) {Ed002's Note - I don't have any opinion on it.}

The transfer window hasnt even opened up properly yet my word! things will heat up after next week when the international window opens up.

Some fans really get to me sometimes so to you we should do a city and throw as much s**t at the wall and hope some sticks because then its ok we spent loads in the transfer window. we need to build a team pointless just buying for the fact of buying we need players that are going to make us better!

LFC420
---------------------/---------------------------------
How exactly do you expect to 'build a team' if we don't get moving in the transfer window? Do you think that players magically appear overnight? Are you braindead? If we are to compete with the Uniteds and Chelsea's we need to invest. It's as simple as that. I hate to shatter your illusions that we are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but we simply are not. Quality players needed. And that costs money. {Ed002's Note - I think his point was that the international transfer window is not open yet and players should be bought that improve the squad, not just because they are available.}

Anfield to recieve massice amount of cash on player leaving although we dont need to buy to sell.

Aquilani and meirless both leaving and we will recieve 20m for both and then on the other flops we will at least recive about 15m so I say about 35m on player going out unless we use them as part of exchange plus cash deals.

realistically the only thing Downing has over the others is he knows how the Premiership works, I just still dont believe he is whats needed. I would sooner welcome Wilshere, Gamst-Pederson, Zhirkov, Nani or Malouda.

Personally I reckon they would suit alot better

i can understand alot of the players but f***ing nani that crying wacko lookalike id burn my eyes out if he joined our club.

hi everyone, im a lfc fan that lives near arsenal and i just bought the lfc away top, and i was wearing it in wood green shopping center, when no other than geal clichy was shopping by himself and he said to me nice shirt and winked at me. take that how you want but i believe he will sign for us

Wow 2 shocks there
1 I didnt know aresnal was an actual place I thought it was London and 2 I didnt know Clichy was gay

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 11:45:11
Please do not sign Stewart Downing, he is hardly good enough for Aston Villa let alone Liverpool! Would be one of the worst signings ever. Clichy I can agree with, good player and only 25, Downing is not old but he is a pile of c**p.

Morning redmen & edmen
Continuing in the true public spirited vein of this site, I think one of the eds should let us know what what sort of motor Charlie Adam drives.
Anyone thinking of buying a used motor in the next 18 x months would not wanna be saddled with his old car, I tell u. Cos he's done 263 x trips to Liverpool, London I don't know how many times, Leicester to give his bird a lift, and been seen in 1001 other different locations.
I bet he's gone round the clock in that car of his in the past 6 months alone.
If anyone sees an old banger, spewing blue smoke out the back, we can be sure Charlie's on his way !
Ok eds, give us a hand here pls..

Post of the day! If in doubt regarding a transfer, list alternatives that are so far removed as to make the post nonsensical. Wilshere isn't a winger, Malouda is 31 and why the hell you listed Nani i'll never know.

Thanks for your positive and upbeat transfer analysis, good to see your keeping the faith, and trusting the decisions made by the King and DC! I dont have any sources or claim to be in the know, but from what Ive heard from speaking to various people is that the Adam deal will happen...eventually, Wickham is pretty much ours, once we make a favourable offer to Ipswich, Downing will arrive once McLeish settles in to the job and identifies targets, and finally I think the arrival of Mata will entirely depend on Manchester City's movements in the transfer market. Add to those a couple more very capable squad players and I think we're on to a winner. Great job with the site Ed's. Roll on 13th August!

P.S Ken Aguero spotted outside Greggs on Allerton Rd, can only mean one thing..........2 Sausage rolls for £1!!!

Said it before and will say it again. LFC not getting adam, mata, dann. only way we get downing is to pay over the odds and that is typical of lfc in the transfer market. paying huge money for average players. Like Carroll. He will not prove 35m worth. I guarantee it.

_______________________________________

How do you reckon that mate? Wilshire would be wasted out wide, given how well he's taken to a central role. Gamst-Pederson & Zhirkov are squad players at best, with no where near the potential of Downing. Malouda is talented but has never been consistant enough to deliver on that, and as for Nani, what kind of LFC fan would welcome a manc to our team? Especially a diving, cry-baby, prima donna like him??!

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

I dont think you'l getr an argument from anyone about the £35 million price tag. However its not as simple as that. The price of Carroll was relative to Torres sale or vice versa. If you beleive the Club's officials the price we were going to sell Torres at was the price that Newcastle put on Carroll plus 15 million.
------------------------------------
£35m is quite high, but remember Spurs had a £27m bid rejected by Newcastle only a couple of days earlier. So that's what had to paid.

Can you all imagine the reaction of the London centric media and press if Villas Boas had become the new Liverpool manager last November/December?
Probably none of the gushing coverage over the last couple of days because its news about the 'plastic club of west London.' No mention that the buy out clause in his Porto contract was inserted because FSG had contacted them last winter about Villas Boas' availability.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 11:21:14
If downing was foreign you would all be raving about him, wake up and smell the coffee because he is a quality player who under the king will only get better

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 11:20:41
Please put this on ed's I just Want to say am sick of fans sayin we need this player , that player an sayin Henderson and downing if we get them are overpriced an not good enough .... If kk wants to pay the money let him Do it he knows about lfc far more than me , and any other fan out there I swear I've just seen a fan put on here saying "downing is a decent player but I'd prefer wilshire, nani, gamst Pederson !!!! You kidding me really??? Kenny knows what type of players he wants to play a certain way an Kenny will also buy a player and then change his ways too make them even better so who ever we get , well get because kk thinks they'll help us win the league simple as that so all of you stop putting on here were buying so an so , you heard it here first because I have been looking at this site since we signed hendo and not one persons "sources " have been right since ....... Thanks ed's can you please put this on for some of the idiots to read thanks

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 11:16:51
I thought this transfer was going to be full of excitement and a lot of movement in and out of the club!
Perhaps I set my sights too high with the january arrivals and Hendersons signature very early on.
Even the dead wood doesn't seem to be shifting. June is nearly over and it's only seven weeks or so until the start of the season. {Ed009's Note - you contradict yourself here - remember than in January none of the signings were made until the last week of the window, so just be a little more patient and I'm sure we'll see lots of ins and outs.}

The O'Shea rumours are true I can personally confirm it.
He has had offers from sunderland, wolves, blackburn and Liverpool have enquired abot a price etc but thats all so far.
I guess he must be seen by Kenny as a last option for Lb or something but its true we enquired

I just don't get this obsession with wingers. The reason we have struggled for the past 2 seasons is clear in my mind. We have lost world class players in Masherano, Alonso & Torres (maybe yossi) and have replaced them with only decent players. Until we get some real quality midfielders who can set the pace of a game and keep the ball we will not improve no matter how many tricky wingers we have.

I am really dissapointed with our targets so far - JH seems to have a long way to go as a centre mid and was toilet for the U21s . Charlie is good at free kicks and 40 yard passes but gives the ball away too much. Would love to see a Macallister type player come in and do a job for a couple of seasons.

Also would love to see Sturridge come in - I think he will be quality. I know he is a bit of a prat but so is AC!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 11:01:46
Adam is looking less and likely. There have been a few rumours about Moussa Sissoko as an alternative (far better in my opinion), ed i sthere anything new on this? Do you know if anybody else is pursuing him?

Cheers,

Kop Chris {Ed001's Note - nothing new, no, but we were interested in both so I don't see why it is suddenly becoming an either or.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 11:01:35
Can I say that anything above 12 Million for Stewart Downing is RIDICULOUS, At the price quoted (18M) We could afford Juan Mata. Honestly, I worry about the transfer policy sometimes. Stewart Downing is not the type of player we should be looking at, He may just scrape us Champions League qualifications - But we would NEVER win the league with him.

Connor Wickham looks the more likely option than Brest's Nolan Roux. Sunderland will match bid but the lad wants the liverpool move.

Charlie Adam should go through without a hitch, as long as the mancs don't get involved.

Raul Meireles may be sold, If a big enough offer comes in.

The next transfer target whom we are very interested in is of course Scott Dann, we may be in for a bidding war, though.

Unless I'm completely mistaken and it's not Lucas Piazon we're talking about...all info is wrong as he's signed a pre-contractual agreement with Chelsea to join them in January 2012 when he becomes eligible.

hi everyone been a liverpool fan for over 40 years now i live in lincoln so not seen anyone hanging around my street.
downing is frightening me he lacks a threat pace lord i think fergie could keep up with him.
now i am worrying we missed out on a young but expected to pay the same for a true carthorse.
the french lad that went to the barcodes last week why did we not sign him they did and they are not mugs look back to jan 2011 .
damien cromoli "spelling" we should allow him the benefit of the doubt he took gareth bale to spurs ect.
finally the rumours posted on here please note fergie bases his transfer policy upon this site be weary old red nose is watching be well all lets hope for a special season.. {Ed001's Note - you might want to check out Downing on Opta etc, he is not slow, I don't know why people are coming out with this nonsense.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 10:56:17
We could swap Aquaman for Menez at Roma. He is trouble but is a decent winger. Two birds with one stone. Comolli could hopefully, along with KK sort him out.

Thoughts please eds. {Ed001's Note - I would not particularly see Menez as a good option, it would take too long for him to adjust from Italian football. It is just so slow there compared to here, much more so than any other league.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 10:54:00
ed , do you think it makes sense to buy an english centre half ? if you look at it this way , if we had
______ - carragher - dann - johnson
just one of them will have to adapt to the league unless we get enrique or clichy . that would surely be the most stable defence with no language barrier and four capable defenders

TOMOLFC {Ed001's Note - personally I would rather give Ayala or Kelly a chance at centre back, but I agree Dann does look the best choice on the face of it. Other than him I don't see any ones playing in England worth even considering.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 10:53:53

Im sure we'd get mata for that price!!

JUST HAD A TOUR OF ANFIELD. AND TO MY TOTAL SURPRISE I SAW HIGUAIN HAVING PHOTOS TAKEN ON THE PITCH. THIS 100% TRUE. APPARENTLY ITS A SECRET TRANSFER AND WILL BE COMPLETED BY THE 2ND WEEK OF JULY..............

.....Not much of a secret now. KK and DC say thanks very much for that btw!

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

Are you sure. You posted this after 11p.m. Find this hard to believe.

The night time tour of anfield probably persuaded higuain join haha, why would they allow tours to view the pitch during the photo shoot for a 'secret' transfer

In my humble opinion I believe we will sign the following;
GK: Anyone's guess
LB: Gael Clichy
CB: Gary Cahill
LW: Stewart Downing
AM: Juan Mata
RW: Charles N'Zogbia
S: Connor Wickham

I'd be more than happy with that

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 10:34:07
With respect to everyone but I can't imagine Pepe Reina agreeing to stay if Kenny and Damian Commoli said we would be signing Henderson, Dann, Wickham, Adam and Downing during the summer. I can only see something quite big happening before September 1. If not I just hope we are not in a situation in the final week of August where Reina looks to move like our former number 9 did in the final days of January meaning we had to pay over the odds to get a replacement.

For gods sake. Our transfer window has been open a week or and so and the International transfer window doesn't open until July 1st and we get pessimistic t*ts like this moaning about who we've bought.

within the next 2 weeks, we will most likely get dowing, since the villa boss has said he is free to go and clichy is looking more likely since he would prefer liverpool over roma.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 10:29:12
Downing deal fee is argeed. At 13.5 plus 2.5 mill add on if we qualify for champs league. Its a very similar deal to henderson. I personally feel thats not a bad deal.

We have to trust kenny if this goes through. For all we know mata could of said he doesn't want to come to us and thats why we have had to go for downing.

mate you do know that downing is for the right wing mate and mata is for the left.

Has it occurred to some fans(!) that we are not the only ones who wish to sign the best global players. Unfortunately we don't come near to the top of any preference list which I would think is something like this:-
1 Barcelona Without any doubt the top club in the world.
2 Real Madrid Still with a great reputation and attraction.
3/4 AC and Inter Milan The top Italian clubs are very attractive.
5 manchester united Sadly we cannot deny that this lot is the most attractive in England
6 Chelsea The most likely of the two 'Jonny-come-lately's'
7 Manchester City The other one and the one that pays silly money
8 Arsenal A great name and based in a great City
9 Tottenham Hotspur Also with the advantage of being in a great City although likely to drop out of the top four.
10 LIVERPOOL - The club that we love to live for and soon to be back where it belongs - at the top!

Cko YNWA {Ed009's Note - this will not happen.}

Now before people start sharpening the knifes and getting all upset, I am not saying KK sign him up!
But you can't ignore the fact he's got bag of premiership expierence, he knows what it takes to win the league, he is happy been a squad player.now I agree with the Ed it won't happen, but perhaps people should look at both sides of argument before passing judgement!

23 Jun 2011 10:04:55
I think Clichey would be brilliant for the club and he's only 25 which is an added bonus. I wonder if we'd consider off loading Joe Cole to Arsenal as part of the deal and if Wenger would be interested in that?!

Clichey at left back and Johnson at right back and the kids pushing them all the way to play well every week as they and the club know they can cut it at that level following their exploits towards the end of last season.

I wonder if Kenny feels Stephen Kelly is good enough to play at centre back next season?

Lets clinch Clichey!

Jonny Boy {Ed001's Note - I hope he doesn't think Stephen Kelly is good enough for that, he was barely adequate as a full back for Fulham and Birmingham! ;o)}

Has there been anything come out of the club about us being linked with N'Zogbia, Downing, Wickham etc? I know we tried to get Adam in January and we've heard from Oyston that we're still in for him but have LFC gone public about it? It just seems that a lot of people are getting wound up about us going for these players, saying they're not good enough etc., but as far as I can tell we've only actually been linked to them via newspapers, SSN, Twitter and so on. Not exactly concrete bases of facts. I like rumours and I'm addicted to this site and the BBC football site with it's round ups but I think people getting annoyed that we're 'buying' these poor players when there's nothing come out of the club (as far as I can tell, I could be wrong) is jumping the gun a bit. I do agree that some of the players we've been linked with wouldn't do much help but we only see them on match day using tactics from other managers. If they come, let's see how they work with out players and Kenny then we can make up our minds.

Sorry for the long post and hope it doesn't come across as having a pop at anyone.

Cheers.

Just to give some clarity to a few people in regards to our chase for British based players:

I think people need to look beyond the game on the saturday/sunday, and realise that playing professional football is a 24/7 job.

You don't just turn up on a saturday with your mates and because you have good players, go out and win a football match. All the hard work, the team bonding, the understanding of each-other, the balance of personalities is what happens on a day-to-day basis when you and I are still scouring the internet looking for transfer rumours or pushing some paper around the office.

I agree with the policy of getting the best british players available, who have the right attitude, can settle quickly and establish a team togetherness far stronger than a team of foreign superstars who, not all admittedly but most, are there for themselves.

Take the Henderson signing for example. Yes, a lot of money, but I would bank my house on Andy Caroll feeling more comfortable in the squad with him being around, the same if Downing signs, because these lads have more in common, played for clubs around a similar area, and they'll be able to build a bond extremely quickly and bounce off each other in training.

I have managed and played at a decent level of football and can assure you a team that is out there playing together, sprinkled with talent is an ingrediant for success. We're now actually in a position whereby the talent we're buying, although not the top of the tree like some of the foreign players, are still very very good players.

Have faith, a bit of patience and we'll see how the Red Army continues to grow.

Why do people keep insisting its either Downing or Payet.Downings a natural left winger and Payet is a right winger both would be great additions to the squad

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 09:44:02
Can't wait to see Downing in Liverpool Red. He will be a good acquisition, under-rated player, sweet left foot and one of the best deliveries from wide positions in the prem since he came on the scene at Middlesbrough.
Good Luck Stew !

SERIOUSLY WHY ON EARTH DONT WE JUST BID THE 7/8 MIL FOR CLICHY FOR GOD SAKE AND FORCE ARSENALS HAND EVEN MORE! SICK OF THESE STUPID TACTICS OF OFFERING RIDICULOUSLY LOW BIDS FOR PLAYERS, HOPING THAT THEIR WILLINGNESS TO COME WILL FORCE THE DEAL THROUGH!!...IT WORKED WITH SUAREZ BECAUSE NO1 ELSE WAS AFTER HIM. IT WONT WORK WITH MANY MORE PLAYERS, AS THEY ALL HAVE A FEW CLUBS SNIFFING ROUND THEM!!....SORT IT OUT KENNY AND COMOLLI, ITS GETTING PATHETIC NOW!!!...ALREADY MISSED OUT ON A FEW PLAYERS, GET A GRIP!

To the Ed,

If as reported Adam is only on 4K a week (I say only like thats chicken feed) and has only 2yrs left on his contract, couldn't we give him the money to buy himself out it?

Tommy Walsh {Ed002's Note - No, it is not as simple as that and I do not have the time to explain teh rules to you.}

All this talk of buying this player and that player has not proved very successful so far ? Who on this page predicted Carroll, Henderson ? One or two maybe but NOT at the time they were to be signed ? Suarez was. What I am trying to say here is LFC are doing it the Liverpool way and I predict there will be signings we are not expecting or predicted on this page ........I feel there is alot of smoke and mirrors being sent out by the club to put people off our true targets.

Adam - why are people knocking this lad ? every time Blackpool scored or created he seemed to be involved in some way; people say he is not fit - well when he is fitter - he may turn out to be better ?

Have faith in Kenny - when he bought Barnes, I was not keen as I thought he had talent but was lazy and ahd little application at Watford - I was proved wrong and the team he was in with Aldo, Beardo and Houghton was without doubt the most exciting atacking quartet we had - every time we attacked I expected us to score

I predict this ...............

At the end of next season there will be players kicking themselelves thay had not joined us

There will be agents of players all over us like a rash to join us next season

We WILL BUY players that we have not had rumoured on this page within the next month or so AND they will be a resounding success


Kenny knows what he doing !! Let him get on with it - remember.... this is a team game we are not putting a team if superstars together with big egos a la City and Chelsea.

Look what he did since Jan !!

Eds, I'm hoping this is wrong but I'm hearing that our transfer kitty is all but spent with one more player due in at around £15M. Any further players will have to be funded from sales. I'm hearing that the almost done deal is for Downing but that even the £15M will have to be part funded by sales (presumably Meireles).
Hope that our new owners don't turn out to be short of cash as Christian Purslow expected. He had major doubts about their offer.
If they don't spend on players or go ahead with the stadium, we are going to loiter in the wake of MCFC, CFC and MUFC for years to come. Do you have any idea whether this is the situation ?
Bear {Ed002's Note - Nobody will spend recklessly - but the expenditure will be made to support the management team, within reason.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 08:47:54
If Kenny Daglish pays 19million for Downing then I will be concerned about how they are dealing with our transfer matters and spending the clubs money......Downing is not worth 19Mill. especially if Young goes for 17mil, and mata available for about 22 mil.

What happend to "we won't be held for ransom"?. 35mil for Carroll........16mil for Henderson......19Mil for downing...............Am i the only one that is concerned here? I can understand if Kenny wants to buy british premiership players.......but common, Downing 19Mil is really pushing...............I feel this transfer window is going to be a let down..............

Concerned....

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 08:44:58
Kenny dalglish is a good manager, great even. But I will not give blind faith to anyone. People on here say things like trust kenny when transfers are questioned, dalglish is a man and as such is fallible. Its not as if every signing he ever made was perfect is it. So people can challenge this aspect of his management. Its not a slight against him its just realism. After all, his transfer dealings at blackburn an newcastle weren't exactly amazing were they. In terms of his man management and tactics, noone can dispute that.

But transfers...that's another story. I think people seem to forget on here that he managed other teams besides liverpool.

Morning Ed's,

A couple of things that would just like to bring up, I have been looking closely at a group called true kopites. This morning it said that Raul Mierels was to be sold to Inter Milan to generate the funds for Stewart Downing. If this is true then the club have gone crazy. I am only just beging to find the belief in the club after Hicks and Gillett. The new owners have come in and have stabilised the club which is the most important thing, they have also introduced a new policy on the players that we sign which is all good. But after hearing that Abramovic is to give the chelsea manager a kitty between £80-150 mill and were having to sell before we can sign anyone. Fernando Torres and Ryan Babell were sold for a combined fee of £57m. Saurez and carroll at the time were bought for £58m the club had only spent £1m to bring them in. and personally despite that looking avery dangerous strike force, i for one really cant see that we will get the same goals ratio as we did with fernando. Now we have spent £16m on Henderson? in my oponion we should be trying to sign players like Mata, Turan, Alonso. Instaed were having to pay over the odds for british players of an average standard that aren't even competing at the highist level of football.(championship, Relegated teams).

I know they say that no news is good news, and i really do hope that the chairman and board are supporting the King, i hope that with a few quality additional players we canachieve greater things. But i really hope that we don't have to sell to invest.

hey guys marcus from trinidad here. hope we get some good players in asap and get off to a good start.
ED has jose angel joined barca?
ED i know this is a bit off topic but i just wanted to know what ur guys view is on mr.jack warner ex vp fifa?
also does anyone know if we are currently looking at any players from the german bundesliga?for me mario gotze is a talent that should be acquired. {Ed009's Note - Jose Angel looks likely to sign for Barca but hasn't yet. I'd love to see us steal in and nick the player. Jack Warner seems corrupt, but my opinion is based on newspapers, and not in depth enough to be taken seriously.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 07:58:46
I hope and pray the suggestion that Liverpool are going to pay 19 mill for Downing is a joke.
He is not quick and is injury prone and the club would be lucky to get 1 good season in 3.
To me if he comes Mata is probably not coming which is bad news.
There are so many good young left wingers out there who are way better value.
Rodney

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 07:58:03
Guys, not really a rumour!

Is anyone else concerned about the players we are so called trying to purchase? Downing, N'Zogbia, Adam, Dann... there not exactly world beaters! Benitez tried and failed with buying 4-5 players for 10mil instead of buying 2 player who are world class!

The only transfer i know of that will happen is Clichy!

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 07:49:32
Payet or Downing?? No contest Payet all day long.

Very good footballer, good skills, pacey and tough.

Im sure the love-in for Downing will continue but he just isn't good enough.

YNWA jns {Ed009's Note - why does it have to be one or the other? I think unless we manage to get Mata, we could well end up with both. Then again, we could of course end up with neither.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 07:42:19
Rumour has it Barca have stalled on a deal for Sanchez and Man Citeh have increased their offer! If Sanchez signs for Citeh expect Barca to bid 15 million for Mata with Jeffren going the other way! Apparently Valencia would entertain this. Fingers crossed Barca get Sanchez because if they dont we are likely to lose to out on two of our so called targets!

Hi Ed(s), who do you think is better on their day Joe Cole or Stewart Downing, given that Cole hasn't really been given a chance at Anfield yet? {Ed009's Note - without a doubt Stewart Downing. Cole has all the tricks but no brain or final product and without the pace to utilise his tricks his threat is nearly wholly nullified.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 07:02:57
edd hope we dont get clichy theres better options out there. {Ed009's Note - I would agree with that. I hope we look abroad for a left back - Angel or Cissokho of Lyon would be ideal signings, though perhaps a little pricier.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 06:50:43
Ed, i expect people like the guy earlier who compared Young's 17 mil pound move has gone to Utd and were gonna pay 19mil for Downing.Would you just explain the contract situation re their contracts.Young only had a year left on his, and Downing has 2 years left on his.Thats why Young's price is cheaper then Downing's.But i'm sure you'll still get people moaning about how much Young is still a better player.I think Downing if he joins will prove to be more successful and productive then Young anyway just like he was last season.7 goals each, 7 assists each.Only 3 of Young's goals came from open play we're as all Downing's goals came from open play.7 assists for a guy that took most of Villa's set pieces aint that great neither is his goal return considering Young played further up the park then Downing in most of the games last season.I think Downing at 19mil is a bit much but get used to it.English players with proven ability to play in the Prem are alway's gonna cost more then their foreign counterparts, ie, Payet is worth roughly around 13mil according to his club.I think the problem with Downing is that he still suffers from being in the most boring team in Prem history.Middlesbro.In my opinion under McClaren they were horrific to watch.I honestly wouldn't watch any footy highlights when he was in charge of em, and i think Downing has been found very unjustly, found guilty by assosiation of being in the s**ttiest and most boring team ever to grace the Prem.(No offence Middlesbro fans but i'd rather clean out a septic tank using a tooth brush in my gob then watch them when managed by McClaren) and has found it hard to shake the stigma off.He's also improved ten fold since then, plus the Villa fans voted him player of the year last season a good sign that he's rated their.And i'll also suggest a big majority of Villa fans would say that they'd rather lose Young then Downing who's a team player and seems a down to earth guy.If he comes and i hope the reports in the Mirror are true, that we've/were about to put a bid of 19mil in for him.If he does come, lets not all bash the guy before he even puts on a Liverpool shirt on, and remember he, like Carroll, and Henderson didn't ask to be sold for that prices they were , its just the Premier League way with the English talent these days, get used it people, we wont be the only team it effects.Jonny Boy {Ed009's Note - Personally I think neither player is brilliant, but what they both lack in flair, Downing will make up for with his willingness to play for the team and make runs on the byline before whipping in a cross for Carroll, whereas Young is a very selfish player.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 04:25:46
ED adrian lopez is doing well in u21 what you think of him i have to say i havent seen him much other than this tourney so dont know what hes like for deportivo la caruna {Ed009's Note - He's been fantastic in the tournament and generally has a very good record at international level - he scored 1 for 1 in under 19 and 20 level, and has scored 1 in 2 so far at under 21. At club level he's been less spectacular though and he is 23, so not as young as some other options.}

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 06:16:36
Liverpool's Signings if i had to guess would be:

Henderson (Done)
Payet (12 Mil) Cheaper option than Downing, we will negotiate down price.
Mata (24 Mil)Would be nice having quality.
Adam (10 Mil)
Zapata (11 Mil)
Roux ( 6 MIl)
Shock Signing (25-35 Mil)
Either Cavani, Aguero, or Higuain

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 06:01:18
I don't understand why liverpool fans want meireles to go he has proved his worth when we needed him the most. I can see why liverpool wants to waste money on Adams when we have a better player in Aquilani under KK he can be great. Losing such player is a far cry from ever getting someone even closes to xabi Alonso.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 05:12:51
Jeffren would be a good addition to the squad,
Mata would be a great addition to the first team.
July 1st couldn't come any sooner so our attention can go towards young talent abroad other than the likes of over priced players like Downing.
I expect a marquee signing, my sources believe it won't be as big as people are expecting though. I'm still hopeful, in King Kenny I trust.

I swear some people on here think that the world class players in the football world right now are the only class players that there will ever be, do people not realise that these world class players have to come from somewhere. Some of the top clubs in europe (real madrid, chelsea to name a few) have become very lazy, and due to the stupid amounts of money these clubs have, they can afford to be lazy and impatient. I would hate to see us become like these clubs, where instead of nurturing the future stars of this game, they are let to develop at other clubs and then bought for a stupid amount of money. The reason why the england national team is so weak at the moment is because the stronger english clubs are not bothering to develop their own cattle and would rather take the very expensive, but ultimately less time consuming method of just buying the hottest stars on the planet at that time. This is NO way forward for both club and country and football as a whole will suffer in the long run. This is only a bandaid solution and will soon crumble for these clubs as they will have no core structure within their club.

The players of tomorrow are out there waiting to be plucked from obscurity, whether they are at other clubs but still very young, or are at our own academy, this is the future and i really want people to stop stressing about not buying the best players on the market at the moment, because this will only serve as a short term solution, and if we come out of that short term without trophies, then we're skint.

We have a chance now to become the club that we used to be, to regain our identity as the biggest club on the planet, but to do it we need to build a future around the liverpool football club philosophy and base our future on solidarity, not fickle, flaky glamour.

So let's see you so called "supporters" out there get behind the team and support the players we buy, because whether you like them or not is irrelevant, and whether you like them or not does not mean they are a good or bad player. Let's look towards the future and stop whinging and moaning about not getting Aguero or Bojan and learn a bit about the world of football, both off the pitch and on.

I tried not to get carried away in that rant, but in summary; players are better grown, not bought.

El fuego del mundo.

Liverpool are closely watching highly rated Swede Alexander Milosevic from AIK.

The centre back is regarded as one of the top prospects in Sweden and has a host of top European teams monitoring his progress.

A report in 'Sport Bladet' claims that LFC have had Milosevic watched recently and could make a move for the player.

The 19 year old has established himself in the Swedish U21 set-up as well as in the AIK team.

Milosevic is a big powerful (6ft 3) centre back and could be seen as a long term replacement for Sotirios Kyrgiakos.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Careful mate he's only from a smaller club so alot of people on here will just think he's s**t and start baggin' the poor lad before they even see him play.

On another note i personally haven't seen him play, but i'd like to think we're going after players like this, great players are better off being moulded through coaching and development, not bought for stupid prices.

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 01:28:48
A lot of people think that the potential signing of Downing would rule out the signing of Mata. I feel this is not the case, Downing has a very good cross and travels down the wings very will. This is good as it will supply balls for carrol, Mata on the other hand is a LW and has a left foot however he is the type of winger that likes to play on the opposite side and cuts in and almost plays as a CAM. This can clearly be seen in the Spanish UN21 games where he always drifts in and makes clever passes and runs infront and behind the back four. This is what suarez does and them to would combine with each other perfectly. Then you may ask if he his cutting in who will supply crosses from the right? Well every professional have both feet so he can cross, although like Montoya (spanish un21 rb) does he works up and down the line to put in a cross and this is something we have in abundance fast RB suited to run forward (glen and martin)

 

 

 

 

23 Jun 2011 01:28:46
i beleive there will be a lot of movement for lfc come july 1st, i dont beleive we are just targeting british targets, because if that were the case we would of had them in the bag by now(apart from the adam deal) so i hope we have targeted some real class players to get us challenging again. everything seems to point at that with comments from gerrard, pape reina ect, who are confident of challenging for homours next season.

Hi Ed's
One of the ED's mentioned that the reason things are quiet on the transfer front is that players are on holiday or on International duty..Can I just say this...If i was on holiday and Liverpool came calling...and i was in...say Barbados...i would swim the ocean to get to Anfield..we may not be in the CL...but we are still one of the biggest and successful clubs in Europe.Henderson arrived to U21's late to finalise his move and when KK got his call he didnt say "I'll see ya when I've had me holiday"..no..he dropped everything and could'nt get their quick enough.So, if we have had a bid for a player accepted and an agent contacts the player to let him know..then if that player really wants to join us..i would like to think he would do everything to get the deal done.And imo thats the players we want at our club.This is not a dig at any of the Eds..its just what i think

atlfc70 {Ed001's Note - would Henderson have dropped everything to get the deal done if he was already in Denmark? No of course he wouldn't, he would wait until he got home.}

St Etienne have told Liverpool they will need to pay £13.5m to sign winger Dimitri Payet.

The France international has been on the Reds' radar ever since Damien Comolli left the Ligue 1 club to join Liverpool as Director of Sporting Strategy last year.

Liverpool are understood to be keen on signing a winger this summer, with Aston Villa's Stewart Downing their priority target.

But Payet, who is of a similar style, could be an alternative for Kenny Dalglish and now St Etienne have set the price for the 24-year-old schemer, after rejecting a £7m bid from PSG.
Talk S***t

downing 19m out cole 5m, jovanovic 5m 9m spent

so we spend 52m get in 41m take off payments to cole, jova leaves 38m recieved so 14m spent

also take off insua 3m and konchesky 2m is 5m so 9m spent overall.

Stewart Downing to Liverpool for around 19 m? For me that's a bad deal, i'd rather go for Adam Johnson. He is much quicker, younger and cheaper. But my dream move would have been Mata. What a player! My sources also tells me that Oyston talks are ongoing and Adam will probably sign at the of this week. What do you reckon ed, you think we will sign Adam? Do you agree with my opinions?
