Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

Ramirez (agree) vs Sigurdsson (disagree)

Both prodominently play central attack midfield, which would you prefer?

Cheers JY


I think maybe the reason as to why he may go elsewhere, maybe we are looking at a better player!


I thought ramirez was a winger(right)

If sigurdson goes to spurs ill be gutted. Too many good players we are interested in keep slipping away... and sigurdson IS a marquee signing for an absolute bargain.


If sigurdson was as good as you say why aren't Barca, Real, Man City & Man Utd after him?

He's an okay player & that's about it!!

Dave


How do you know who BR is interested in when no-one knows who he is interested in , give the man a chance , he wants players for his system of play


 

 

26 Jun 2012 22:40:52
I don't want Sigurdsson at our club if he can't get in to a Hoffenheim's team at the expense of the waste of space that is Ryan Babbel then he certainly isn't good enough to wear a Liverbird upon his chest.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 22:39:49
Guy mouthing other day about Media eing wrong and calling anyone who questioned Gylfi even perhaps not coming to LFC a'Mail'reader.Whole forumn,media now suggesting same.All wrong where they lad? Most info comes via Media,maybe his is carrier pigeon.Everyone cant be wrong.Unless next few hours change,must be SOMETHING in Spurs link


 

 

26 Jun 2012 22:37:27
nobody worry about sigurdsson going to tottenham, he is almost an lfc player already!

a) Sigurdsson wants to join rodgers
b) He wants to join liverpol
c) Tottenham haven't even agreed a deal with hoffenheim
d) Tottenham haven't even got a manager at the moment

He's bound to realise liverpool is possibly the only club he could succeed at, a partnership of him, gerrard and Lucas! Practically unstoppable!

As for tottenham,van der vaart will probably go, modric will probably go! The only good player deffinately staying is bale, and he is not a playmaker!

tottenham and liverpool to switch places next season, tottenham 8th, liverpol 4th!

Come on Liverpool lets for the champions league! You'll never walk alone :)


Bale scored more goals than downing and Henderson combined!


Hope so mate, love your positivity!

Don't forget Rodgers has been evaluating the whole squad and structure, it does take time. On another note, Maybe Rodgers has seen the same qualities in Suso. Would you rather pay 8m to buy siggurdson or introduce Suso in the same roll. I firmly believe Suso will be world class, given how Rodgers likes to play he might be just what we have been missing. Say you had Carroll up top and then a 3 of say Suarez, Suso, Krasic with Gerrard and Lucas behind, all players who can pass and find space well, while Carroll or someone else occupy the defense.


Thats sounds very good to me!

Just out of interest. Does anyone know how a few ex LFC players did since they left the club
Babel
Insua
Vornin
Riera

Thanks
Fitzy


Babel = bench warmer
Insua = he's getting better by season!
Vornin = I think he moved to Russia
Riera = no idea


About the same as they did at us absolutely rubbish


 

 

26 Jun 2012 22:32:11
will everyone stop moaning and sayin random names who ' we are getting' BR has the players he wants in his head and even if we miss out of GS he will have someone else in line .


 

 

26 Jun 2012 22:28:51
so radio city reckon siguardson is having a medical at spurs tomorrow? if that's true then BR must have had a green light to sign someone who he deems better perhaps? LFC are a far bigger club than spurs so watch this space eh, Mr Henry is desperate to get back in the champions lge & he will give large funds to receive his financial rewards because he is a very shrewd & wealthy businessman YNWA


Loving these posts this evening guys. some good points bein made instead of stupid questions, people sound like they are acctually supporting our club for once!

keep it up edd's you do a fantastic job and nice to see you back macca

26 Jun 2012 22:27:30
Macca - loved the latest post, you and the eds truly are the best in the business at providing honest and accurate news and opinions - Love this site -

Macca,
I agree wholeheartedly with you. I am from the US and a die hard Reds fan. I've watched what the owners did with a struggling Red Sox Team. I have nothing but optimism moving forward. I always think it is so funny when a club as big as ours has so many fans reacting like the sky is falling if we don't get a certain guy. I know we dont' have CL but surely a club with our history and financial backing will attract enough class regardless.


Totally agree with this post I couldn't of put it better myself.

Firstly i have no news on the Sig deal..

I just wanted to put fans minds at ease having looked at all the negative posts..

I am very confident that the club are prepared to spend big money in the summer, the only thing they will not do is sign older players on big contracts..

Wait and see...

Cheers

Macca

Well done Macca, that has put my mind at ease a bit. You are never too far wrong! Keep up the good work, and keep us posted.

Cheers

Irish red


I am stunned nobody has noticed that as soon as England went to the Euros Macca was missing on here for a few weeks then as soon as England come home he is on here posting regularly again. Mmmm very telling!


Cheers macca thanks for the post.I've been hoping you'd be keeping us up to scratch mate.Hopefully the next post will be news on a signing or news on the stadium. MATTYLFC

Interesting tweet by john w henry about anfield earlier this evening.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 22:16:16
Just watch this space people, come the first week of July, I'll put any money on it that there will be some surprising, maybe even FANTASTIC signings, coming to our club. Have faith, Brendan Rodgers knows what he's doing and so do FSG. Don't believe ANYTHING you read in the press until you see an official statement from Liverpool Football Club. Remember, during the summer, all papers are interested in is SELLING PAPERS and 99% of the stories are complete BS.

26 Jun 2012 22:09:38
Don't understand why we sad about Siggy like we miss messi to sign.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 22:07:38
Don't know why people get angry over sigurdsson signing for spurs ( if he does that is ) as apart from a diminishing number of players the only people who put the club before money are the fans. To players its just a job now. What will be will be. Back the players who are here now and back the manager who wants to be here. YNWA taff red


Agree totally. If Spurs sign Sigursson it will be because we as a club refuse to be held to ransom for huge wages. That's fine by me as I want players who are not mercenaries. If he goes to Spurs he wasn't the right man for our club so is no loss.

26 Jun 2012 22:02:46
Hi all Ed's&fellow red's....Just one quick question please.Would it be such a disaster if Siguardson did not sign? {Ed001's Note - nope.}


As long as we sign players within next month. This is because another month of negotiations would make this site almost unbearable.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:56:29
If the former manager doesn't want to overpay for the player, maybe the player is not worth it

YoungRed

He wants 70k per week? * off!


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:55:27
I think people on here need to realise that we are not a top four club at the moment. If a player wants to go to Spurs rather than us then we have to accept that as if wasn't for Chelsea winning the Champs Lge Spurs would be in it next season. I still think Sigurdson will sign for us but if he thinks that the grass is greener at Spurs and they are a bigger club or offer better wages then so be it. I only want players who want to play for LFC at the club. I know they haven't been the greatest signings so far but when Adam, Henderson, Carroll and Downing knew we were interested in them they only wanted to sign for us and giving time under Rodgers I think they will get better and turn out to be good players


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:04:18
Arsenal manage to get Olivier Giroud for 13 million and we get Andy Carroll for 35 million, I think Carroll current value has dropped all the way down to 15 million

Plus Carroll did nothing at Euro 2012 to show the world why he is valued so highly.


Carroll scored more goals than Giroud at Euro 2012!


He looked twice the player of rooney and he's 'consdered' world class!


Did you not see his header !

how did giroud do at the euros?

GET REAL


Giroud costs 13M from a weak league. He played 32 minutes at the Euros 2012 and didn't score. Andy Carroll played 158 minutes and was one of Englands top performers while on the pitch. AC was probably never worth 35M but is worth 20M based on what he has shown since April of this year. He has 4 years to run on his deal with us and I suspect he'll be worth more than Giroud will be at 27. Is Giroud the next Chamak or the other lad with the forehead? or is he the 2nd coming of Henry? me thinks the former


Giroud will not cut it


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:02:26
great site by the way.. love it!..just an idea but why not play Raheem sterling more this season hes class and would be like Brendan rogers Scot Sinclair when he was at Swansea would most probably bang in sum goals and surprise everyone!


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:00:19
So what if Sigurdson signs for Spurs. Does it matter? No. You have to remember (and accept) that players will nearly always do what is best for them not the clubs that are chasing them. Sigurdson is young and has great potential. He himself knows that. Young players with a future want more than anything, to play not sit on a bench. Liverpool can offer him a squad place. Spurs can probably offer him starting 11. Yes we're a bigger club, but that is not always what draws players - some literally just want to play. RED LENIN


 

 

26 Jun 2012 20:56:20
If Sigg wants to go to Spurs coz they are paying more money then let him off, they've no manager yet, and there is a possibility that the manager they get may not want him.

Rogers obviously wants him and so he'd be a big part of his plans as his first signing is going to get plenty of attention, but if it comes down to money then so be it.

As soon as LFC is connected with a player, 2-3million quid goes on the asking price as they think Mr Henry will pay out, Rogers is a shrewd guy, lets give him time to make his decisions and back him. There is more than 1 midfielder out there to be signed, plus we have Lucas back this season, hopefully he'll carry on his form from before he was injured. Stevie g was Englands player of the tournament in the Euros, Downing can't be as bad again this year, Henderson is showing potential now

Suarez will be great again and Big Andy was our best player towards the end of the last season,
we have great [players, if we hadn't hit the post over 30 times last season, scored even half of them chances, we'd have finished a lot higher

Keep the Faith

26 Jun 2012 21:54:38
Oops pressed send before I had finished typing my last post. I was writing about so many so called true fans on here. Slating the manager and club already. The kind of fans we don't need. Me myself will be behind br, fsg and the players we already have and sign and I will be supporting my club all the way win or lose. Anyone who says we are a small club now are a joke and should be banned from this site. Your the joke. Come on everyone, let's be positive, I'm sure Liverpool are keeping their cards close to their chests regarding transfers. Be patient. Support. YNWA. Cant wait for next season. Apart from the negativity I love this site.

26 Jun 2012 21:52:46
What is going on with some people on here? Upto yesterday Sigurdsson wasn't good enough for LFC, why is B Rogers signing him? is this the type of player we can attract now?......remember any of these? sure you do!

Now all of a sudden he "may" be going to the spuds and we are losing out on our major target, says who? BR? no, JH? no, LFC media spokeman? no. Exactly, no one from LFC has actually said GS is the number one target. Yes he done well in the second part of the season for Swansea, yes he's only young and has potential to improve. However, do you think we as a club should pay over the odds just to appease the fans or the media? no we shouldn't and nor should we.

If BR wants GS then I'm sure he will chase him enough to land him. However, at the same time if a player wants to join us badly enough then in this day and age he can sway the move his way.

Basically people the transfer merry go round will not start in ernest until after the Euro's or when the european window opens on 1st July. So for now take a chill pill, sit back watch the germans win the euro's (I;ve got them in the sweep at work!) and relax.

The club is heading in the right direction and looks to be stable again. The owners looked to have learnt quickly about overspending, so lets leave them to do what they do well and let us get back to backing the club and most importantly the manager!T-Mac


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:47:39
Wow. Some true fans on here. Slating the club and manager already. The kind of fans we don't need. Transfer window hasn't even opened yet, a ball hasn't even been kicked yet! And there is so called fans (or mancs) who are saying we arent a big club now, get rid of so and so, what the he'll is br and fsg


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:43:47
Steven Davis- just a thought get him on the free or buy his contract out for a million or there abouts would be a great squad player and am sure him and bredan rogers would get on well as they are both northern irish. {Ed001's Note - he is crap!! He was barely good enough in the SPL, most of the Rangers fans were moaning about him the last couple of seasons.}


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:41:45
J W HENRY tweets lfc to choose cheap option
and redevelope anfield,city council will not like
that,they were expecting a new ground with the whole area redeveloped........MARTIN BROUGHTON
what have you done......

auntie annie..... {Ed001's Note - no they were not, everyone knew the first choice was the whole area redevelopment with Anfield included in that.}


Is this true Ed001? Is there a tweet from JWH on redevelopment? It would be great news.

Thanks

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96 {Ed001's Note - no idea mate, I don't really look at Twitter, except to take the mick out of other editors on there.}


Blair, Henry tweeted from his personal account a blog in regards to the stadium situation. It was nothing he said but something he indicated with what was said in the blog. With the tweet it seems he agrees with the redevelopment. The style that was mentioned was plenty of seats close to the pitch with the stand rising sharply. I envisaged a German esq stadia which I would be made up with as most of the top stadiums over there are second to none. I also prefer redevelopment over a move.

Gylfi Sigurdsson to tottenham
Pepe Renia 28, sat on the bench with spain. Will he move away from liverpool and go to spain. £25million offer for the keeper, is liverpool in the position to turn down the offer, I think not. In the footballing world we are a Europa league team, not a cl team so cl teams could end up picking the bones for our nicer assets. Its disappointing, but those americans will accept offers for our players.

skrtel could be leaving soon, the club has been touted to any and every club in the land for a higher than normal price. Could Liverpool get £20 million for him? I think not. I don't think he has handed in a transfer request, more that the owners want him gone because they will sooner or later have to pay him what he is worth.

Its worrying to see the last of our team leave and I expect their to be offers for Luis Suarez. What do you think will we lose alot of our players in the summer.

I havn't really seen any decent roumours for players we want. I think we have very big expectations and at the same time we don't have the money to spend big or the status to attract the right standard of player.

Liverpool Wont be challenging for any honours next year, the three year plan won't keep our best players at the club. It is now 2012 and the americans have had the club since Oct 2010. That's 19 months here at the club almost two years in and we have in fact moved backwards.

So them coming out and saying we have a three year plan. What will happen in three years time? will their be an improvement.

The Daily Mail said we wanted cristian tello winger from Barcelona on some kinda loan deal/transfer with a reasonable buyback deal. 7 million, but it looks closer to 8.1 million.

So Sigurdsson been given until the 30th to decide his future.


25m for reina 20m for skrtel yes please


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:22:15
To the eds and fellow readers a qiestion to you all are you happy with the current owners & do you honestly think they would take us to the top and be the fierce LFC we all once was me personally so far i am not so sure hope they make me eat my words

Look forward to your replys

Alec {Ed001's Note - they certainly would like to, but it is not as easy as that.}


I agree with what the eds said , there not in with us to finish in the top ten again they have said they want us to be top again and they will try there best , we cant ask for much more can we ,,,,,,mickey b


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:38:08
Macca comes along and saves the day and suggests spending big on young players. Perhaps Ramirez rumours are true plus maybe our interest in munian has continued under our new management, in fact munian would suit BR high pressing game to perfection however it will be tough to get width with him and possibly Suarez on the wing of a front three as both like to wander. However both are clever which we have seen by suarez movement into any little pocket of space available.
Thanks jc


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:35:28
Why is everyone so upset that sigurdsson may not be joining Liverpool. Maybe there are more talented players on the agenda. You all know transfers will be done in 'the Liverpool way'. Whether we buy sigurdsson or not im sure Brenden Rodgers has other targets in mind. Sigurdsson is an average player and i'm sure not many of you had even heard of him before he was linked with us!

Red Lee


Sigardson isn't average but I would rather Ramirez


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:32:31
Looking at john henry's last tweet, I think he is telling us we will stay at anfield.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:30:18
What's Rodgers playing at?
I've had a Sigurdsson tattoo!
Rigsby.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:24:28
Question - with fsg saying that kenny would have been sacked even if he had won the FA cup as well because he didnt get a top 4 finish, does that mean they'll sack BR as well if he does a cup double but fails to get champions league qualification?


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:24:00
Okay I actually said I wouldn't post on here for a few days because of all the cry babies (literally some of you sound like you ain't long out of nappies). But he'll it is addictive.

For all you whinging about BR and FSG let's get some perspective.

1. Money - they have it and have shown they ain't afraid to spend it. I think they're weary to make the same mistakes as last year. Most can see Carroll and Henderson will come good but we did overpay no doubt about it. Downing was a mistake but who could of foreseen that, I thought him and Carroll would of been a match made in heaven but hey it ain't worked out. Adam ain't that bad and when he was in the team we played some pretty good football at times but at times he looked sluggish and out of his depth.
2. Transfers - in regards to Sig nobody knows what's going on, maybe they're looking at players that will come in and be guaranteed first teamers. Maybe he's been wooed by the bright lights on London. Maybe he will come in and this all media BS. Maybe we're looking at someone like Ramirez to be our playmaker, after spending 50m ish in 18months why are Some so convinced we ain't gonna spend this summer?
3. Stadium - anyone with a set of eyes or ears can see that this ain't the time to start a huge multi million pound project. The owners have been upfront and honest about it so why get in a tizzle. I for one wouldn't want them to stretch their finances so much that it affects the team. Arsenal could do it because they were producing some fantastic talent at the time. And started at a time of economic prosperity. It's definitely better to wait till our academy bares fruit IMO.

Anyway these are just my opinions on the 3 main subjects that some crybabies seem to be getting all het up about. Reading this site makes me cringe to be a supporter at times but it is a great site. CQ


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:18:24
WIJNALDUM- PSV....... worth about £10million..............NARSINGH SC Heerenveen worth about £7million............TABANOU....TOULOUSE ..worth about £9million not bein funny but these 3 kids are class and not herd much about any of them in transfer rumors around the world,not cheap but not dear either (rough valuation) good young players there theres loads of class young players about this is why LFC arent rushing into things and panic buying!!!!


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:17:44
The only thing that annoy's me about losing Gylfi to Spurs is the fact that it seems to take Liverpool so long to complete and finalize deals when other clubs seem to do it in a day or two. Lets put it into perspective shall we? Yes he would have improved our midfield but that's not saying much is it? Face it our midfield at the moment is terrible. In saying that there's a reason that he plays for Hoffenhiem and was on loan at Swansea, if he really was as good as people on here have suggested then it wouldn't just be ourselves and Spurs in for him would it? If he doesn't come then fine, lets not worry because the main thing we have to worry about is changing the way that we play football and I think we have the right guy in charge to do that.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:16:27
Well im not too bothered if Siguardson signs for Spurs. I said in earlier posts that if we are pinning our hopes on Siguardson then we are in big trouble. The only positive would have been that he should be better than Adam which to be honest is not that hard. Also if Sig does sign for Spurs does that.mean Modric is on his way? Who would you like to see in Spurs team that face Liverpool? Modric or Sig? Anyway, it it what it is. Lets see who we get linked with next!

The Irish Rover


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:07:36
We have Suso, Gerrard, Shelvey, Henderson, Cole and the kid Texiea, who can all play AM.

Sig would be a good addition to most squads. But do we really need him? Maybe this is in Brendan's thinking when negotiating with Hoffenheim and Sig's agent. He would like Sig but not at crazy wages.

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96


Think you're spot on, Blair. We could use him if the price is right, yes, but he's not worth a bidding war with the Spurs.

RDL


 

 

26 Jun 2012 21:05:18
Is there any possibility of the likes of Suso breaking into the First team this season? Or Sterling, my worry would be that they would get frustrated with not getting first team football and look to go else where, they are serious talents and we can't afford to loose them

DublinRed


 

 

26 Jun 2012 20:52:45
Has it crossed anybodys mind that maybe we are interested in a better player then sigurdsson? Maybe we have looked at him as a backup squad player and that spurs have offered him assurances due to Modric more then likely leaving.....

Just some food for thought.

Ozred.


And the fact we haven't even bidded for this player.RedTurk


If ed002 is correct(which is pretty often) about gylfi and how liverpool haven't met the valuation 'yet' then the indication is that despite rodgers admiring him highly as a player there may well be other irons in the fire so to speak. reading macca's latest comments only reiterates this theory from the original poster.
s.p


Spurs obviously see Sigurdsson as a like for like replacement for Van Der Vaart. They are quite similiar in style and play in the same position. VDV is off to Shalke.

Sigurdsson is not a replacement for Modric they are not similar, Modric plays deeper and is a different player all together.


That did cross my mind ozred but then I dismissed it as blind optimism.

Ozone


We are rumoured to be in talks with ramirezs agent so perhaps he is a back up. The fact that we haven't bid and maccas post has made this rumour more believe able thanks jc


 

 

26 Jun 2012 20:45:42
Does anybody think with luka modric going madid and sigurdson going tot i think that myt be for us to move for alonso maby we let tot go for sigurdson just a thought stemlocc1


We wouldn't lose out on a long term player for a 1-2 season veteran.. I love Alonso and miss him but he isn't the future of LFC...

26 Jun 2012 20:41:35
I think we should buy Adam Lallana before he is bought at the end of next year for 10+ million.

Behave yourself


 

 

26 Jun 2012 20:40:25
Hi edds, some of you guys (edds) have been saying that Sigurdsson has stated that he wants to come to Liverpool, could you give a source/link to this, getting concerned at the Tottenham talk, nothing more.
Many Thanks YoungRedJ {Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware he has said nothing.}


 

 

26 Jun 2012 20:36:48
Disheartened with things going on at Anfield at present. Can't believe after over 18 months the owners have still not made a decision over a new stadium. Ian Ayre does not really inspire you that he is in control at the club. This is a business decision and it is beyond belief that they can't decide. Instead we are drip fed info from the club. Recently read tweet from John Henry saying a rainbow was over Fenway Park. Well John storm clouds are gathering over Anfield. By all accounts they want to spend less on players. Reading the accounts they did not put any of own money in anyway. Did they see the league table last year? or are they accepting 8th place from now on.

When Brendan Rogers took over he said he would not upset Swansea and hijack any deal for Gylfi. Well Brendan Spurs have hijacked the deal. Wake up and smell the coffee. What are we going to become if we can't attract players with ability of Gylfi. Reina, Agger, Suarez, Skrtel all rumours cud leave any communication let us know what is happening?

Macca you seem to have the ear of a few at Anfield any chance if the owners have any ambition?

Thanks
Redfish


You say the owners have not put any of their own money in , tell me how they paid for the club and wiped our debts away , maybe it was monopoly money , get a grip and calm down redfish mate , BR has said he is keeping who he wants close to his chest , so no one knows so its just the media making stories up , it was the same over our new manager again the media had us linked with loads of managers , and all the players we are linked with now we could build 5 teams out of them , just wait and see and if theres any mistakes then you can come on here and moan and use the blame game ,,,,,,,,,,mickey b


 

 

26 Jun 2012 20:29:41
Hi eds,
I'm finding all this Sig business very difficult to believe. So spurs apparently have beaten liverpool to capture of Sig, the same spurs who were nailed on to sign Vertonghen a few weeks back, but as far as I know still haven't finalised a deal with Ajax. I just can't believe that the same club that hasn't concluded that deal has now stolen Sig from under Liverpool's noses at the last minute. Add to that the fact they have no manager (and I don't care whether levy is responsible for signings), it just all doesn't add up. Would Sig sign under that level of uncertainty? One minute it's spurs offering Hoffenhaim a better, or are they offering Sig a better deal. Just seems like lazy journalism to me. Any update or what do ye think?
Thanks, Jeraldinho


 

 

26 Jun 2012 20:28:48
gylfi not going to spurs they have no manager this is media rubbish . Liverpool will hav e a big summer in transfer window players going and coming nobody knows but liverpool fc in rogers i trust


 

 

26 Jun 2012 20:28:00
I for one wish that instead of having countless number of CMs we had more STs.

United have Rooney, Hernandez, Berbatov and Welbeck (Owen was also a backup)

Chelski have/had Drogba,Torres,Mata,Sturridge and Kalou (Lukaku as a backup)

City have Augero, Tevez, Dzecko, Ballotelli also have Adebayor on loan

Arsenal have, Podolski, Van persie, Gervinhio, Oxlade Chamberlin and Walcott

Getting to the point of the story, All the above (Champions League teams) Have lots of strinking options who are all capable of scoring


Liverpool have Carroll upfront who was poor last season, however thankfully he seems to be showing his abilitys. Bellamy who is only able to play once a week due to bad legs and is also on the wrong side of 30, Suarez (IMO) is more of a creating player similar to David Silva.

Long story short, Please Liverpool focus some energy into 2 strikers 1 out and out Poacher and 1 who can also be used as a wide man.

Please sort it out.

Right lads / Eds
All this carry on over the lad Gylfi.
I was looking up his surname, Sigurdsson, which comes originally from Viking origins.
There was a succession of Sigurdssons that were Earl of Orkney in the 11th Century.
Anyways..the upshot of all this is, the lad is related to the Viking that discovered Greenland and Newfoundland in 1000AD.
This fella's name - Erik The Red !
Alright ?
Panic over. Have a good night's kip.

Sigurdsson good player no doubt but is that the area where we really need to strenghten in my opinion no!

If sig signs for spurs so be it.we need guys playing for badge in front the red shirt.
We have too many players who don't value whome they are playing for and we don't need more of them.
So if sig signs for spurs so be it its not end of world.

Hey Eds.

I thought the transfer window wasn't open until the 1st July? If so, how has Arsenal completed the signing of Giroud?

Cheers,

Can anyone actually tell me if Spurschave scouts?? It seems every time a team becomes interested in a player, they try to hijack it. Get a life Levy and start looking out for your own players. Siggursson is to sign for Spurs next week.

Still believe Sigurdsson will choose us instead spurs

Guys just all u chill. You'll see

its simple br is an old fox sigurdson to spurs to replace modric. modric to real madrid to replace alonso . brendans best mate mourinho sends alonso back to liverpool happy days who said brendan wasnt an old fox.

eds - if it is true about siggi well do u think someone maybe due to takeover the spurs job soon and is advising levvy ie laurant blanc ??as they seem to be making more progress than us without a bloody manager ?we always seem so slow to get our targets in why is this try to get them cheap or what ? {Ed001's Note - the manager never dealt with transfers there anyway.}


We are always caught out


 

 

26 Jun 2012 19:30:21
How many of you have actually seen sigurdson play? And I don't mean a 3 minute video on YouTube. He sounds like he could be the next Lionel messi if all these posts are to go by.


He's a good player but maccas post and the rumours flying around suggest that we may go for Ramirez


 

 

26 Jun 2012 19:28:15
Thinking about it we are linked with a lot of midfielders whether they be wide or central, and I agree this is where we need to strengthen most, but look at how many we have already in squad and a few youth on the verge...... We have Stevie, Lucas, Adam, hendo, downing, maxi, shelvey, bellamy,sterling, spearing, Cole, aqua plus a few young lads
So surely we need to get rid of a few at least aqua and Maxi look most likely at the moment, but with maybe a couple of new guys we need to get rid of a few more. I'd say Cole Adam and spearing out with shelvey and maybe sterling (when old enough) out on loan. Im aware we have a lot of fixtures to contend with and need to use our squad but surely there isn't room for 15+ midfielders??

One German newspaper saying siggys more likely going to spurs does not mean he is. If he goes to spuds over us I'll bear my ass on the town hall steps everyone's welcome!


Better wax your buttocks then


If he goes to spuds over us I'll bear my ass on the town hall steps everyone's welcome!
====================
Which town hall, and make sure you clean it first ..
You do know that Liverpool have n't had any bid related discussions with his club dont you ? And his manager stated in public, he wants Siggurdsson situation cleared up before end of this week, so if we are to sign him, someone from our club need to be talking to them yesterday.

if this icelandic lad has chose spurs over us with no manager because they have offerd a few quid more it just shows how greedy greedy greedy these players are!liverpool are right stand thier ground an offer the same money an deal he was happy to get at swansea!looks like we have dodged a bullitt here.the only way we get a player to come here is to offer them silly wages like cole jovanvic aqulanni an when it dosent work out we carnt get rid of them!

Between last summer and this, I have seen hundreds of names being linked with liverpool. Most linked players are never actually signed by the clubs they are linked with. It's how rag newspapers sell. Link player 'A' with club 'B' and people will buy it. I suppose it's how websites like this one are so popular. (Not knocking the site. I love it!)

People seem to get far too caught up with rumours, Take the Siggurdsson deal as an example. Last week some people were naming him in team formations as he was practically signed. Now he's definitely off to 'managerless' Spurs. The Transfer window doesn't open till Sunday, so he'll probably have joined another club or two by then.

My point is, don't panic. If he signs, well and good. His reason for signing will be because of his working relationship with BR.
If he does sign for Spurs, off with him. If he was willing to turn his back on Swansea when that was a supposed 'done deal', cos BR is now at Liverpool, it doesn't say much for his loyalty if he then turns his back on Liverpool because of a better deal at Spurs. If that's the case then we don't want him. We want players who want to wear the shirt.

There'll be plenty of comings and goings this summer, and they'll be the right ones so don't panic.
In B-Rod we trust!! :)

Maybe they are waiting for the so-called big name players we already have to pull their fingers out next season?

Everyone picks on the new signings but everyone was rubbish except perhaps Skrtel, Agger & Enrique for half the season.

How can people say rodgers can't even attract sigurdsson to Liverpool.

He was signing for swansea you tits.

LAVERS


How did this post go through? The word tits offend me lol


Brilliant!
FowlerisGod


Not only that but what does "can't even attract sigurdsson" mean or like I read earlier "we can't even attract an Icelander to Liverpool". Absolutely disgusting, Iceland have a very small pool of players to pick from so there national team will allways find games hard, that does not mean they can't produce great individuals from time to time. and to say cant even attract indicates he's no good anyway, no wonder the lad might want to go somewhere else.
I have seen people on here refer to some of our players as "dead wood" with regards to selling certain individuals, and I agree with Ed002 absolutely disreseptfull. It's about time a lot of people grew up,wait and see what happens.
RNred


Ha ha well said😂👀


No one told that Lavers.

Liverpool with their ridiculous transfer policy cant even buy bargains.

We all the people saying owners being ruthless and all. Well I ask them to say their ruthlessness in transfer market.

If the sacking of Kenny has logic behind it even it is "ruthless". Why not same logic in market.

In a year of football, managers are under fire for 9 months of it. This is the time where owners should be showing what they are about. Well you cant make us glorified by loosing out on targets to your rival clubs and then buy sub standard players for ridiculous fee and then say we did our job by supporting the manager and now its manager's turn and then fire him for failure.

See u cant buy a calculator for the price of a computer which is limited to only some functions and ask it to do a computer's job. Its no rocket science.

Its not about sigurdsson, he is not even our player. The thing is the ridiculous transfer policy of waiting game is shocking. Even if we end up signing sigurdsson don't think they are right and people like me are morons. Its just that we got lucky. This is what happens if we wait too long. Ya the transfer window for international transfers is not open yet. But other clubs are simply not going to wait because we set our sights on some target and let us grab the player. They will seize their chance. If more clubs get involved its going to be a bidding war and end up paying ridiculous fee.

Also see it this way. I hate torres, but if these owners are brave enough and concluded some deals early in january like suarez, young(who was then target) and adam. I know young and adam are not top players. But that would have shown intent to torres and he might have chosen to stay. Who Knows?

And finally we fans are paying ridiculous amount of money to merchandise and tickets. Aren't we the highest paying fans for matches. And then all the sponsor money to club. Aren't they attracted because of it "global fan base". So basically fans are the direct or indirect reason for the club generating the money. And if you are going to satisfied with this consistent failure, God save us.

Its like newcastle of old days, but they have learned from their mistakes. I can only imagine when we will ever learn.

Why is hi not sign for lfc than?


Spot on. If Liverpool can't match Tottenhams' offer, what can Rodgers do.


Tits don't offend me ;)


 

 

26 Jun 2012 19:04:10
Surely with Rodgers preference for a tika taka (hate that term) style of football it will be a couple of good attacking midfielder we are looking for and another forward too. Any one care to try to fill in the blanks ?

Reina
Johnson. Skrtel. Agger. Enrique
Gerrard. Lucas
??? Suarez. ???
Carrol/???

We have hendo, downing, shelvey sterling and bellamy in competition nor them spots at the moment, feel this is where we need to spend our money. Two signings from the likes of Ramirez, Martinez, boulharouz, sigurdson, elm should do with a back up striker too maybe tello or another youngster eager to learn

Keep up the good work, great site

G.P


BR Doesn't set his teams up like that it's 1-4-3-3 as GK - 2xCB 2xWB - DM 2xBox2BoxMF - 2xInside Forwards & 1CF. So Reina & the back four are grand. Stevie G or Lucas for DM, Hendo, Aqualini and Downing for Box 2 Box And Suaraz, Bellamy and Joe Cole as Inside Forwards Carroll as CF. The rest will have to be brought in i.e. the Mid's and Wings we have been linked with..


I'd have this, invest in an attacking force linking the midfield with the striker. if we get these guys then essentially we wouldn't need to spend big anymore unless its to replace key players like gerrard.

Reina
Johnson, Coates, Agger, Enrique
Gerrard, Lucas
Krasic*, G.Ramirez*, J.Rodriguez*
Suarez

Doni, Kelly, Bedimo*, Henderson, Shelvey, Tello*, Carroll

Those ins would cost around
£7m for Krasic, RW
£17m for Ramirez, AM
£24m for Rodriguez, LW
£5m for Bedimo, LB
£7m for Tello, FWD

=£60m

Selling
Skrtel £20m
Downing £10m
Aquilani £3m
Spearing £2m
Bellamy £2m
= £37m

60 - 37 = £23m


 

 

26 Jun 2012 18:58:40
a little lesson on media spin on the Sigurdsson saga -

take sly. their 'sources' understand that Spurs will beat liverpool to the signing. their evidence? regurgitated lines from the German publication Bild.

the substantiated claim is that Spurs may be preparing an £8m offer, which has been circulating for a while.

Reading, on the other hand, arent even getting a mention, despite him spending FIVE years there. Why? it's not half as good a story as Spurs vs Pool.

whatever happens, happens. sly own their own brand of online betting, and Bild have a vested interest in German teams, and Sig to Spurs was linked as a replacement for another Bild story - VdV to Schalke. Bild is trying to justify claims by backing up one rumour with that players replacement.

gotta admit, it is fun reading though!


Radio city ( Liverpools main radio statiion ) at 6 tonight also said it appears he's set to join spurs


Does any one remember when we were on the verge of signing Fabio Coentrao?
at the end of the day we won't know till the eds find out or there's a public announcement


Could Spurs be looking to swap VDV for Sig?

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96


Spot on mate, to many people kicking up a fuss for no apparent reason! Bild have built this story from what? We all knew Spurs had interest and as you have said also Reading but this would not bring the same hysteria as Liverpool and Tottenham going at loggerheads for Sigurdsson's signature. Ed002 has mentioned countlessly that Liverpool have yet to meet an agreement with Hoffenheim. If he signs for Liverpool great stuff, if not move on, to many people dwell on players who the media have linked Liverpool with (We missed out on this and that player etc). Very rarely Liverpool will miss out on a solid target, if the club truly wants to sign a player who is readily available. Yes Liverpool missed out on Young and Jones but as most know Liverpool cannot compete with the like of United/Chelsea & City that is why I use 'rarely' lose out on players. In my opinion Rodgers has been the best signing so far, everything he has said is what Liverpool needs going forward.

James Mc


Don't forget Roberto Martinez was nailed on


These football papers are garbage.
Why anyone buys them is beyond me. They may get something right now and again but is it really worth it for the sheer amount of crap you read in them?
At least you get to interact on here and tell people they are talking from their hoops.

26 Jun 2012 18:54:26
Why is everybody getting hung up about siggurdson ? So what if he doesn't sign. Is he better than Lucas or Gerrard ? No, he isn't !

Even if we don't sign anyone, we will still finish 5th or 6th. We have a thin / weak squad but our starting 11 is good. Gerrard, Suarez, Agger, Reina and Lucas would be starters in most top 4 clubs.

Last season we had too many off the field problems, concentrated too much on the cups and we so unlucky in front of goal. Tottenham, Newcastle and Everton will all be worse teams next year or overachieved.


If Rodgers gets another forward and a little bit more out of last seasons signings, we will progress next season anyway.

Next year will be a major improvement on the last two years, in terms of performance and points.

Keep the faith !

Billericay Red


He is a better player tecknically than either mate. And by the looks of him at swansea and BR style of football he could have as big as impact as a fit young Stevie G


Wishful thinking my friend


Billericay well bloody said!jonny m


Gerrard, Suarez, Agger, Reina and Lucas would be starters in most top 4 clubs.

Obviously your not familar with the teams of Utd, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, etc.

Only Gerrard would make the grade the others are pilf.


I disagree mate sigurdson is a player i watched many times when playing for reading and he was outstanding.the reading staff could not talk more highly about his talent stick him in the liverpool team next year and you will see double figures for goals and assists i have no doubts.


I'm very familiar with these teams

Reina - better than Cech, Szczęsny, De Gea, Friedel

Agger - better than Ferdinand, Lescott, Koscielny, Dawson

Gerrard - better than Carrick, Barry, Arteta, Meireles, Parker

Lucas - better than Park, De Jong, Parker,
Song, Mikel

Suarez - better than Podolski, Rooney, Adebayor, Welbeck, Torres (past his best)

You claim to support the reds and label the players as pilf, you clearly do not watch football or know anything about it !

Probably a blue nose !

im just wondering, considering 90% of the rumours put on the site is utter bull, thanks for the great work eds! being a die hard liverpool fan, i know the truth in saying the only believable transfers for liverpool is a CM and Possibly a RW and 3rd choice ST, would you agree?


3 signings imo. A CF, AM & a Winger. Suarez will play the otherside of the CF in a front 3.


Try 99% on a good day lol
I used to think this site was great but now it's all doom an gloom, people slagging off the club and each other,

He can go to spurs for all i care, i'd prefer Gaston Ramirez and if we don't manage to sign him then they're plenty more out there better than Sig.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 18:45:38
I'm guessing Sig is signing for Tottenham because he is asking for more money than he is actually worth. I'm sure Brendan Rodgers doesn't want to be made a fool of on his first transfer so he isn't going to pay over the odds with wages to someone who is yet to have a good second season in the prem. I'm not too fussed even though I believe he will be a top player soon.

Rodgers won't be in charge of the offer on the table


 

 

26 Jun 2012 18:38:44

Most know but this is for the others that dont.
Sky run a betting site where they gain to benefit by using their so called trusted website and tv sites to gain an advantage on betting trends.

this is how it works.

1) Big story on a player/manager where will he end up going to.

2)Sky use an anomynous source probably someone on this very site (well it has been done before remember the fake story everyone trended) to run a breaking news anouncement on their sites that said player will be heading in one direction.They know this is tripe but they are getting lots of people betting on it at REDUCED ODDS as they have said its pretty much done.

3) REDUCED ODDS are great people bet more for a higher return and if it does actually happen they have less to payout.

4)the player signs elsewhere meaning they have maximum profit with little payout.

I think that sums it up but if im wrong ya get the most of it.

Kopping a feel

Plus eds have you thought about setting up a betting site using info from here because lets face it at least the info on here you can pick and choose no one deliberately misinforms to gain. {Ed022's Note - There is already a betting page. Look on the left hand side menu and it's under 'Free Football Bets'.}


Sky is a money machine rather then sports news. they creat story then start betteing then creat another story then bet again end of the day who know what happen just make money. Siggerson may be good player but the news make him like he is next messi.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 18:32:13
It's funny how the same people who were crying that he wasn't good enough and that didn't want him are now crying that he isn't signing and making out he would transform us, get a grip. He would have been a good addition to the squad but he has a long way to go before he is 'world class'. Some people don't half over react, we are and always will be a bigger club than the Spuds, and if we really wanted him we would have got him, we haven't even bid yet. We most certainly will be able to attract good players, we are Liverpool Football Club! One of the biggest clubs in the world and don't you forget it! Anyone who is calling for Rodgers' head over this is either a bitter, or needs to go back to the hospital, give him time, and support him, for us to succeed next year we have to get Anfield bouncing every home game, supporting all the players and the manager, like we used to. Let's show everyone what us and are fans are about, as this site at times is embarassing to read as a red, some of you make us a laughing stock.

Hi All,

seems like loads of people here are bit disappointed with possible(not sure though) transfer of gylfi sigurdsson to Spurs..All I will say I have full faith in new manager and management team and if reports were to true that gylfi sigurdsson could be off to spurs due to better financial package then I am happy we are not panicking and being held to ransom and we have see before we did same with Henderson and Carroll and paid over the odds.. There is no question all other such as Arsenal, Man U and Chelsea have added good players but I am sure we will as well just wait and have faith, should LFC doesn't do that then I would also question intention of Owners, i would say wait until end of August..

26 Jun 2012 18:26:29
All the moaning about GS is pathetic. You would have thought that we were in danger of missing out on Messi. If we sign him great, if not, have faith that BR and FSG have a better alternative lined up at a similar price. Personally my one concern about GS is whether he is mobile enough. We are crying out for pace as well as quality in midfield. The transfer window is still in its infancy. If we aint signed anybody when it closes that's the time to have a moan. I like the fact that no one (other than Macca and Ed002 of course) has any idea as to who BR is pursuing. This is the LFC way of old. Hopefully the first we will hear of any signing will be Macca and or Ed002 posting about it an hour or two before the news officially breaks. Reality Red

Please post

26 Jun 2012 18:07:08
Love this site. Really do. I agree with previous comments though. Everyone was complaining about sigs. And now everythings in the air. Your all complaining.... Ludicrous.

Im also concerned in how every man and his dog is a friend of a friend of potential transfer target. I mean, I feel really unpopular. I wasn't chatting to Adam Johnson, or Skrtels uncle. Either I should get out more or there's a lot of people that enjoy feeding the rumour mill.

Nobody really cares if your nana is head dinner lady at melwood, I doubt BR tells his transfer targets to dinner ladies.

On another note. Ed's what do you reckon of this sig deal. The other day he'd pretty much signed the papers, and now he's swanning off to spurs. Is there any reality in this. Or is it just that someones uncle, who happens to play golf with siggurdsons 2nd cousin told the daily mail that sig is a spurs man? {Ed022's Note - I will explain it to the best of my knowledge for you. At the moment, it seems that Liverpool have not met the correct valuation of Sigurdsson whereas Spurs seem happy to. The issue is with the amount offered to Hoffenheim, and as I understand it Liverpool have not placed any bid - yet have spoken to Sig's representatives and the player himself. However, Sig's representatives have also spoken to Spurs, thus putting Spurs in the driving seat at this moment in time. I still believe that Liverpool would be his preferred destination, however if Liverpool do not place a bid soon Sig and Hoffenheim will have no choice but to accept the offer and it'll be a done deal. Hope this helps.}


Thank you so much for clearing that up Ed022.

Hi All 

Calm Down People! Calm Down!!

Everyone is missing the point in regards of not signing Sigurdsson. The owners will not be held ransom by average greedy players! Sigurdsson is a good player but he's not worth the money he was asking. A £60k week not good enough! Well done FSG!!

Dave


Wow were you in the negotiation room, you must have been to know about the 60k a week offer they made him.

Sooty


While I agree with you to an extent, you have to remember the problem a lot of fans had with Rick Parry was that he allowed us to miss out on player because he wasn't willing to fork out an extra few pounds for a player when we were interested. We missed out on some quality signings in the past because of this.

Red Nek


 

 

26 Jun 2012 17:54:00
To be fair, no-one but BR and a limited few others know our transfer targets.

For all we know GS might not even be on the list and it is the media saying we are after him (because he played for BR at Swansea and has come out and said he likes BR as a manager).

Until a player signs for us, or it is officially confirmed by the club that we are going after a certain player, I won't believe anything I read and won't get worried about us missing out on a player we weren't actually interested in.


I think there were too many persistent rumors for us to have had no interest, but I don't think he was necessarily a player in a critical role that we were trying to fill either (more opportunistic based on a decent price rather than an absolute necessity, I think).

I have zero inside knowledge, but reading between the lines:

a) This saga isn't exactly done and dusted yet (although Gylfi to Spurs appears to be more and more likely).

b) We may have had some desire to get the player, but not to the level that Spurs apparently do. From what I gather, we never even agreed to terms with Hoffenheim and it seems like possibly we don't meet their valuation of the player while Tottenham appears to maybe be willing to do so.

c) I wish people would quit slating the kid as a 'mercenary' and him picking THFC over us. To points a) and b), he still could end up at LFC and it's entirely feasible that he would have been happy to come here had we been able to agree terms with his current club.

I'd guess we basically don't want to get in a bidding war over him with Tottenham as his role isn't a critical one we need to fill necessarily.

We'll walk on and find the right targets eventually. Good luck to the Mr. Siggurdson however it all pans out as to me he doesn't seem to be a bad kid.

RDL


The reports arose from Rodgers saying he would be very interested in signing Sigurdsson if he didn't sign for Swansea...

I think there is definite interest in Sigurdsson, but it seems the club are not prepared to pay more than what they think he is worth, which is fine by me.

I went to an LFC members club in my home town last week and even that was full of the same ridiculous people. I ended up leaving after half hour because of all the negativity.

You lot aren't supporters. You may "like" the club when we are winning but other than that you are nothing. You are a huge embarresment to the club and to true supporters, not just of LFC but true supporters of any team.

Get a life and cheer up a little bit.

Support the team or go do one.

Tristan


Yh because kenny didn't spend £103m in a season and a half??


Another daft comment from a so called fan.

Grow up


Let's just hope you are not here in 6 months - FSG will do the right thing for Liverpool Footabll Club - it's in their interest for us to be successful.

Who Agree's Gaston Ramirez over Gylfi Sigurdsson...!!


Gaston Ramirez would be the 1st name on my wishlist mate, if I were BR.

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96


Won't get neither ,time to stop dreaming


And in truth must be the easy fit as he would have Coates and Suarez there with him, not to mention all the Spanish speaking players and (Manager).

£12m - Boudebouz 22 (RM/W, AM)
£17m - Ramirez 21 (AM, SS)

Both should be ours

On Match of the day 3 at the end of the season Rodgers was asked to pick his best 11 premiership players of all time (on Utube).

His formation was 4-2-3-1.
He picked Keane & Scholes in front of the back 4 (for LFC: Gerard/Henderson & Lucas).

Then Henry Zola Ronaldo
(Suarez, Sigerdsson, Downing/ a new signing)

Then Shearer
(Carroll).

I'm not saying LFC has the players to compare with the all time greatest prem. team. What I'm pointing out is the system and the types of players he picked. With a few additions the players are there to play the way he likes to set up his teams.

Fitzy.

I hate to think this is a sign of things to come when we can't even attract an Icelander to Liverpool. The thing that concerns me is that other teams are already sorting their signings out such as man u, arsenal, Chelsea ect ect. Now in my opinion this is either owners not giving BR any funds or the fact that BR can't attract decent players to LFC. Only the coming weeks will tell !!.


It's not BR's fault that we cant sign Sigurdsson. The player would obviously like to work with Rodgers again but it boils down to our valuation of the player and the wages we are prepared to pay. Spurs have managed to attract him MINUS a manager so what does that say.

This is still hypothetical as no one really knows what's going on. Fact is if we think he's good enough we should pay the going rate as Spurs certainly won't be paying over the odds for him.

Wavertree Red


What the hell does "we can't even attract an Icelander to Liverpool" mean? what the hell does it matter where he comes from if he can play?


Think you'll find it's probably game time. He'll get more at Spurs.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 17:37:10
Since people here want to be pessimistic.

A number of top players are unhappy with Rodgers as manager.

Players don't want to come.

Brendan who ?

He is likely an excellent manager, but players want a famous name who has already achieved something.

We will know by December.


Get rid of the players that think they bigger than the club then. Brendan is here to stay. Maybe we need the some big heads to move on.


Why can't you post your name at the end of you're post???

Just watching sixty minutes with Lucas Leiva and my god we missed him last year,also he seems a top bloke and even with the stick and boy did this lad get the worse stick I've seen in years he still loves Liverpool,I must admit I gave him stick but he won me over and from his performances and attitude it's made me change my attitude towards some less welcomed players,so now I give total support to all players cheers Pk


Totally agree mate! Even when he was getting flack from the fans he stuck to his task got his head down and worked.He never moaned or threatened to leave and now the same fans love him and miss him.A top pro an an example to all


I'm actually chuffed that he want to stay and play for the same fans that boo'd him


Whats really that special about Lucas? His defence splitting balls, his driving runs, his 40 yard raking passes, him dictating the tempo of the game? Nipping the ball from the oppositions feet and passing it 3 yards does not put him in the Souness, McMahon even Viera or Toure class. The only good thing about him is he is better than Spearing. We could do better.

Wavertree Red


I doubt we could get anyone in that's better than Lucas at what he does.
There are better players out there yes but not many. And none are available. Or affordable.

Elm isn't great. i'd rather stick with shelvey

26 Jun 2012 17:33:41
If there are reasons why Rodgers is not making the Sigurdsson top priority, I can only assume it's because of one of the following:
1. Asking for too high wages
2. We have enough midfielders with Hendo & Shelvey (who I expect to have a big season)
3. Top priority is for right winger and striker

Spuds are very desperate to get Sig because they are resigned to losing VDV, Modric - that said, for someone who said he won't sign for Swansea as they were manager-less, yet now willing to accept a better offer from spuds without knowing who their next manager is, & turned his back on the one person who re-ignited his career, tells me that he's either greedy or bat-sh*t mental! Singred


Spuds paid up, simples


 

 

26 Jun 2012 17:30:31
I dont know why every1 is trusting Sky Sources that Sigg is on his way to Spurs they are the most UN-reliable shower of **** on this planet, care to go on about how they said Roberto Martinez was gaurenteed to be the next LFC manager and when BR was appointed Stevie G came out and said how he knew all along BR was the first and only choice not RM (just as an example) they read everything people in the press write and claim it as facts so we all tune in and hang on there every word bulls***. on another note Edds whats the chances of Ryad Boudebouz was linked ages ago and would be a decent player on the right with Maxi Kuyt going/gone and Henderson clearly out of position all season thanks

Damo {Ed002's Note - Ryad Boudebouz will leave Sochaux with Real Betis and Lyon showing an interest. Way back in the day interest was shown by PSG, Spurs and Liverpool and certainly both made tentative enquiries. Lyon would seem to be the most likely destination right now although he is one of the two players that Liverpool have asked to be kept informed of.}


Alright cheers ed. is elm the other ? {Ed022's Note - Yes.}

Have confidence fellow Reds, the right players will be bought for our glorious club.
Still many days left in the transfer window, and no doubt many suprises along the way.
Shankly's Red Army.


Stop being delusional, Its not new in transfer market. This is being happening to us every year and the same old story. We are becoming laughing stock. Selling Kuyt for 1.2 mil and cant even buy a guy who is available for peanuts for his caliber. We are being run by a skint management. These Americans want us to be a PR club not the one which actually wins titles. To make matters worse we are set to loose some of our best players aren't we? Whats the point in sacking managers since they did not met the ambitions when they themselves are sub standard.

AJ


Haha, I wonder where your confidence will lie in a months time when Liverpool have been linked to their next transfer targets, but still not signed any one of them yet!

Who is this sigurdson fellow? Is it true he played for the mickey way in the recent galactic championship scoring 8 goals before being taken off at half time? Also I hear we have beat off real, Barca and both Milan clubs + spurs still a little worried can't interest from reading fc though !! I will be gutted as if we loose out on him as I hear he is about to beat ronaldo and messi too the baloon d'or ?!
PLEASE POST AND REPLY, PLEEEEEASE

Sorry for sarcasm but it really is getting silly now almost feel like making something up to change the subject!!
Oh by the way did u all hear that the spearing/cavani swap is back on??

Why bother.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 17:22:08
It's a joke can't even sign sigurdsson love L.F.C hate how they do business it's a joke


We are not a big club now, thats why he is signing for Spurs.


Fsg are just waiting to sell our best players so they can invest the money on baseball


We will forever be a "big club" 5 European Cups cement out status amongst the elite clubs in European football

BUT at present we don't have the team to reflect our status in world football. Our team is the 8th best in the league, as shown in last seasons league table, where as Tottenham finished 4th!

If Sigurdsson is being offered the chance to play in a better team, with more money to boot, I'm not surprised he seems set for Tottenham.

26 Jun 2012 17:19:20
Ed's why did dalglish choose to sign unproven british players? Especially when other foreign players were available (not saying they were proven but why were the majority of our signings british).

E.g;
Downing instead of Honda.
Henderson instead of Ramirez.
Carroll instead of Aguero.

From what I've read 2/3 players would have been available last summer for similar fees we paid to the players I've listed. {Ed002's Note - Aguero was not affordable nor available to nor interested in Liverpool. There was no thought of Ramirez last season. He was not interested in Honda.}


Kenny's only fault was transfers oh and media, we can caulk that up to; same player whole different game.

The asking price of £11m was too much for Elia so he went with Downing £20m (shrewd businessman, he is)

Henderson (£16m rising to £20m) over Honda (£12m)

Settled for Adam because he found himself out of money! (I hope)

and in my view the ONLY success of last summer inns has to be Enrique and Coates.


Signing british means that we will avoid the scramble in a couple of sesons time to sign british players due to the rule about home grown players. so what fsg did was very smart and will perhaps save them money in the long run.

Well enjoy the 'std's' and self esteem that it brings, you bunch of money carlots.


So are you telling me if somebody offered you an extra £500 to £1000 a week more than you get in your job you would turn it down? I don't think so whether you like it or not football is a job too siggy has no attachment to Liverpool it's just a job, so just accept it and move on. Mike

Afternoon eds,fellow reds ,starting to get disheartened already ,another player turns us down for a team who has no manager. Ian aryes interview a month ago said we (fans) will be excited about the future . Looks like my interpretation of excited differs to other people starting to look very dull at the moment . No players in and players wanting out .hate to say it but forget top 8 for two seasons .cheers psv

As long as we don't lose key players our team will do better this season than last regardless if we sign anyone or not.

Sigurdsson looking increasingly likely to join Spurs.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 17:13:22
I hope everyone doesn't start the usual bashing on about how we 'lost' another player (Sigurdsson to Spurs), and how incompetent or tight fisted we are.

Remember how Spurs reportedly very nearly got Charlie Adam from under our noses in the last few hours of the transfer window in Jan 2011?

It might be that Spurs operate in a faster or more flexible way than we do, and perhaps they take a few more chances. Perhaps the owner takes a hand directly instead of working through a chain of management- who really knows?

But that's not always the best way to work. Adebayor went off the boil, and remember Harry also went for Saha (who has bombed).
And how many people would still be complaining today if Spurs had signed Charlie Adam instead of us?
With hindsight, and greater knowledge of the weaknesses in Adams' game, we'd now have been happier to have signed a quicker and more technically gifted midfielder.

The truth is very few LFC fans know much about Gylfi. Rodgers had his heart set on the player whilst at Swansea, and to judge by youtube (as we all do) he does look a cracking player, but at his level of ability there are plenty of other players who will be on the market this summer.

Maybe this will force us to firm up interest in Ramirez or another even better player, and maybe that will be a better thing for the club?

Rodgers might be still setting his sights at the level of player that Swansea could afford to buy and pay. It may be that missing out on Gylfi might wake him up and make him consider an even better class of player for LFC.
Daniel Levy and Spurs will be hoping that Sigurdsson is this year's Papa Cisse or Demba Ba- the modestly-priced player who turns out to be worth double his fee.
We thought we had that with Adam, who Spurs also wanted, but what we got was a modestly-talented player.

Gylfi looks a quality player, but don't panic- it may be that LFC will go on to sign someone even better- such as Ramirez, or even Adam Johnson, maybe?
Keep the faith, lads. If we weren't willing to pay as much as Spurs, there will have been a reason for that.

The thing is its sad to say but Spurs are a bigger attraction than us.


How are they, Redknapp's gone and it looks as if their best players are going out the door aswell, i doubt they'll finish fourth next year, i garuntee you that they'll start to SINK and end up mid-table where they belong.

If sigurdsson does really choose spurs, this will be a very bad omen for us as BR cant even attract his former player to us. How would we expect him to attract quality player from other team? This will be a very difficult and long summer for lfc


 

 

26 Jun 2012 17:04:07
Not one genuine source has confirmed the GS is definitely signing for Spurs.

His father has come out and said no actual decision has been made yet.

He is speaking to a few clubs.

I imagine that potential clubs will have to submit their offer to GS current club.
This will involve a medical as well (standard process).
Then agree personal terms (again standard process).

It will then be up to GS where he decides to go.

If he chooses a team other than LFC, I won't lose any sleep. Plenty of other players out there to target.

If he does sign for LFC then great. Nice young quality addition to the playing staff.

If the whole drama of news sites making up stories is too much for you, just ignore them until it is officially announced where he is actually going to be playing next season.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 17:01:56

Hi Ed's/Macca

Are we in any financial difficulty at all? After seeing the owners not even able to afford even a 10m deal and not the greatest of wages tells me that the owners are either skint or looking to asset-strip us again.

I genuinely fear for this club again

GJ {Ed002's Note - The club is continuing to lose money but there is no financial difficulty and no asset stripping. I expect your two assumptions about fees and wages are incorrect. There is a difference between being unwilling to pay for something and not being able to afford it.}


Ya, cos to date they've taken hundreds of millions of debt off the club, given the last manager over a hundred million to spend (I know it's in gross figures) and taken another huge hit on the first years accounts dealing with legacy issues from clearing out G&H's mess with the old stadium plans, paying off Hodgson and paying off all the players they had to get rid of on fat contracts.

Classic actions of asset strippers as you call them.

Calm down

26 Jun 2012 17:00:55
the reason why this is happening is because we are always slow in getting players we are always poor in transfer market so we will be poor in the season and i hate it it need to stop we lost our target to spurs now

Gylfi Sigurdsson close to joining Tottenham from Hoffenheim

Tottenham have emerged as strong favourites to sign Hoffenheim's Iceland international Gylfi Sigurdsson.
The 22-year-old had looked set to join up with former boss Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool following a successful loan spell under him at Swansea last season.
But while Liverpool's interest is ongoing, the midfielder is expected to move to White Hart Lane.
Spurs will pay around £8m for the player, who is poised to undergo a medical in the next 24 hours.
The deal is unlikely to be confirmed until 1 July but barring a last-minute change of heart, Liverpool look likely to miss out on one of their principal transfer targets.
The Reds have not yet conceded defeat but will need to go some way to matching the more lucrative package being offered by Spurs to revive the deal

I read that article mate now they are running with this article

"Tottenham have emerged as strong favourites to sign Hoffenheim's Iceland international Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Barring a last-minute change of heart, Liverpool look likely to miss out on one of their principal transfer targets.
The Reds have not yet conceded defeat but will need to go some way to matching the more lucrative package being offered by Spurs to revive the deal.
In May, Swansea revealed they had agreed personal terms with Sigurdsson after having a transfer fee of £6.8m accepted by Hoffenheim, but no deal has been finalised."

I have been skeptical of the Sig to spurs rumours, as i thought we would step it up and get the player. But now the rumour has hit all the big guns (sly, bbc) it seems too late to make the player change his mind. Just a question to the Eds do you expect us to up our package or admit defeat ?

Can anybody explain to me why people are saying we can't sign anyone until the window opens when arsenal have confirmed 2 new signings,united have confirmed 2 new signings,Chelsea have confirmed hazards signing, so why is it Liverpool football club have to wait until the window opens whilst all the other teams around us sign players, I am genuinely interested because I don't understand this at all, especially when I see other fans taking the Mick out of fans for saying sigh will sign for Tottenham on Friday and they get called all sorts because 'the windows not open', although this hasn't held back Chelsea,united or Arsenal!! Would love a reply was thanks {Ed002's Note - None of those transfers are complete yet.}


They may not be complete but they will happem , ed you say not complete but if i ask you were hazzard or poldolski is going i know you will say the same as what we all know , they are not complete because its nots the 1st of july , but as soon as it is then they can and will sign ,,,,,mickey b


Ok, i see what your saying, the deals are confirmed, the medicals are done, the fee's/wages are done, all the deals need are the 1st of july to be rubber stamped, but in theory everyone of those deals is done, to the point where they have been confirmed by both the selling and buying clubs which all of those deals have, podolski/giroud, hazard, nick powell, kagawa, so people on here saying we cant sign anyone until july 1st are basically completely wrong as these 5 deals have all been confirmed by selling and buying clubs, so quite clearly any transfers dealing can be all but sorted prior to the window actually opening ! so the deals haven't been 'completed' but have been 100% confirmed !?


Not complete, but nonetheless all is agreed, Liverpool could do these things too. But they choose not to because Liverpool pretend to be interested in players rather than actually sign them.


Liverpool are treatin the fans like fools, we will end up paying over the odds for average players on lower wages again if we dont speed it up. For a team of lfc
Stature after finishing 8th you would of thought we would be making the big moves first, these owners are not showing ambitions of a top 4 club, if it carries on they will be the next americans we will be driving out. RedTurk

Breaking news on BBC Sigurdsson to have spurs medical tomorrow. Barring any last mi ute hitch Sigurdsson will be a Tottenham player. Guess it will be a long summer summer for LFC


Last week Sigurdsson was the best player in the world and all you scousers wanted him so much but now he is going spurs watch all you 2 faced scousers say you never wanted him and hes crap, LOL i cant wait for it. The Devil


God I hope this is true. I'm sick of reading BS, tweets and posts about a good player not a world class player.

It's funny. Most people didn't even want him to start with? Lol

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96 {Ed002's Note - At the moment we are planning the rest of the week. Looks like: Tuesday - Sigurdsson; Wednesday - Ramirez; Thursday - Pato; Friday - Fotheringham.}


Can you put the address for your bbc website, mine does not say anything about a medical therefore mine must be faulty.


Did you mean 'long long summer'?


 

 

26 Jun 2012 16:34:43
Hi Eds,

What do you think our chances would be of signing Pato? Just read on sly hes looking for a move to the EPL, just putting 2 and 2 together really, hes wants a move to the EPL and we want a goal scoring striker. Also im pretty sure he was Lucas Leivas best man at his wedding....What do you think?

Thanks
Jonny {Ed002's Note - Sorry.}


Is that a no then ed? lol. {Ed002's Note - They will not be good.}


 

 

26 Jun 2012 16:33:59
People need to think properly. We know that gylfi is going to spuds because they offered a much better wage, and now it is the money that does the talking not the football as it should be.
Do we look at it as though if we wanted we could have got him immediately as he loves working with Rodgers. Or do we look at it as though we were being complacent with the transfer allowing other clubs to come in and take him as they have done and that we simply couldn't match the offer that tottenham did
Whatever people say I wish him luck if he joins spurs as there is no need to be bitter about it, however if it does come out that we are inept at transfer dealings, the people that do those deals should re think what they are doing
Here's hoping we can sign him but I doubt it and it is very disappointing

If Sigurdsson joins Spurs over Liverpool due to an extra couple grand in wages then forget him, don't need people like that at our club.

Secondly, our best signings come with very little build up to it. Keep the faith.


Well sed my m8 spot on YNWA lfc linc


Like Henderson? Lol

Absolutely my mate.
We don't need money mercernaries at the club.
They should be proud to join the greatest English team.
I don't want players like this at LFC!.

No like Torres, Alonso, Skrtel, Agger, Lucas, Arbeloa, Reina etc.


So OP the next time Liverpool beat off another team for a player by offering him an extra few grand a week will you still be saying the same thing then? Jay

I ave fantastique news por all le rouges en Liverpool. I am the cousine of ex-Liverpool atackeur Anthony Le Tallec, e as told me last nuit that Brendan Rogers thinks e is the parfait partner for monsieur Carrol and e is willing to pay Auxerre 25 millions Euros to take im back to Anfield.

Remember my nom, vous ecoutez it ici first.

{Before you get too excited I've made this up but with a bit of luck Daniel Levy will read it and decide to snap him up for Spurs as his transfer policy over the past few years has been to try and snatch our targets - tell your mates about Le Tallec and it might happen.

Hi ED's great site by the way! I was just wondering if the clube were looking at any good uoungsters for the reserves and if you knew any names that have been flying about. Thanks in advance {Ed002's Note - I am not too hot on the kiddie football.}

So Sigurdsson is set to join spurs. Does our failure to pursue him mean we have something else up our sleeves?


No it means gylfi chose them for the money


It's all come from Twitter.
What a load of cr*p.
The Real KB


Although he is a good player.Do we really need him? how many CM do we have? Maybe they thought money could be spent better on other area's? I would say so personally. We need two wingers really and another striker. Not a 7th CM.

Jordan


I think that could be the case if we really want him we could get him coz think owners learnt a lot from last season ,we could be playing a very cleaver game I'm really happy at mo coz I really want to who we looking at going try to sign but really we ant got much to go on stop clubs bumping the price up using the media ,great feeling for new season we going down the right road YNWA lfc linc


Does our failure to pursue him mean we have something else up our sleeves?
===================================
Yes , armpit ..
When are you lot going to understand, its business , no tricks no games no master plans .... Its as simple as you put it, a "failure" to get him, not the first one and wont be the last.

Roy


I thought Spurs didn't pay much, at least that's what ive been reading on here the last two days he must of joined for football reasons then as Liverpool pay more money im lead to believe. J.P.


That is how they do their business, all in order to get who or what they want for a great bargain, their hardly going to come out in the media and tell the world, then the prices of everyone they're after will jump up considerably.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 16:16:22
Not a rumour just wonder why everyone is worried about Sigurdsson signing. If he doesnt want to come then we'll get someone that wants to come to Liverpool. Lets get things into perspective, it's not Messi!!

There is uncertainty surrounding the gylfi Sig transfer,however though there rumours I have a sneaky feeling we could be with in a shout of landing G. Ramirez whos an outstanding playmaker. The thought of rondon and rameriz is mouthwatering,though maybe its just wishful thinking;-)

Eds just read a tweet with pato's comments saying that Liverpool, chelsea and manu are intersted in him but he would like to see his contract out at milan.
Can you tell what is his situation at milan, would they sell and what fee would they demand.

Love the site, good for some laughs, redundant questions and solid info.I always look out for eds and maccas notes. {Ed002's Note - I am not even going to bother with this. I am pretty certain he would not say Liverpool are interested in him.}


All he said was he likes english football alot and he is keen to play in the EPL once his contract with Milan is done (2014) and that he has friends at chelsea, liverpool and manchester united.

and by 2014 (two seasons) we could be back fighting for the Title.


i think the plan is to get in the champions league this year

stay in the champions league next year

and win the EPL the year after.

Why did we not go in for Giroud who has signed for Arsenal. Cracking player, joint top scorer last season in French League. Miles better than Carroll and only cost 12m. {Ed005's Note - But has a lot to prove in the Premiership. It's ok being a scoring machine in an average French league for a team on form (and the only prolific season he had in his whole time in France at nearly 26). Anything over £12m would have been a massive risk in my eyes.}


Take your point but the Geordies bought Cabaye and Ben Arfa and they have been a success. We spent a fortune last season on Carroll, Henderson, Downing and Adam and they are dreadful.

Hi all :) first time poster,

Great site eds! I think that liverpool should resign Milan Baros - the kids looked insane in the euros and could be the answer to our prayers in the striker department.

Just a thought.
Meat Cleaver


HA HA HA HA HA HA GOOD JOKE THAT


Baros would still be better and get more goals than Carroll.


He is 31! and retired from international football - i do not think he is the answer, sorry.


Why was this post even posted ed? It seems the OP was watching football for the first time.

Say what you want but the lad scores goals


We resigned Bellamy and Fowler before, so why does it sound so ludicrous, Huh, TELL ME...........

I can't read this page at the minute its depressing, embarassing (by assossiation) and boring. Sig this, sig that, owners are sh**, don't know what they're doing.

What part of 'behind closed doors', 'transfer window not open yet' and 'BR hasn't even met a single one of his players' do you imbeciles not understand?

I'll be back in few days, when incidentally we've signed sig and all the morons are a bit sheepish and hopefully posting less.

Hi eds random question but do you think the prem should have a winter break? {Ed002's Note - Not without losing a couple of teams.}


That would be a good idea.
Lose 2 teams to make it even more competitive and then have a winter break to make the rest of the teams more competitive in Europe and both will help the national team.

Can't see it happening though especially with this new TV deal.


According to the media the reason Rooney was so bad at the euros was because he wasn't fit cos he'd had a couple of weeks off. If that's the case can you imagine how bad the premiership would be after a winter break?

Chris in Tamworth


Chelsea Champions of Europe, does that not answer the question?
Seriously our club sides are good, it is the british players that are lacking, this is something the acadamies and foreign coaches are likely to improve over time but for me there is to big a gap from reserve level to first team, If you loan them out to lower teams and they dont have the same level of coaching/style of play then it becomes debateable about the value of it.

No winter is when football shold be played. If needs be start the season a few weeks later but Januar isdepressing enough without the thought of not having any football to watch.

To chris in tamworth, gerrard had ha the best part of 18 months off and he was our best player.
The press love Rooney and the papers he and his mrs sell with his antics, they will always look for excuses.

Roma owns both {Ed002's Note - Or more precisely Wolfsburg owns Kjaer and Juventus own Krasic.}

Ed002 is it your time of the month or what? I never said they played for the same clubs I am well aware of both of their current situations, their teams do not want them and will accept offers of in the region of what I have been quoted as saying. Both are interested in moves to Liverpool and Rodgers is very keen on both

Gylfi sigurdssons father has been on a German radio station and said that no agreement has been made yet and there will be an announcement this week possibly Friday. He didn't give much away just said that he enjoyed his time working with rodgers. The radio presenter who interviewed him said that all the indications were pointing at a move to Liverpool if he had to guess but as he said he did not give much away.

RedANT.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 15:16:40
sigurdsson has spoken to a number of clubs but yet to agree anything.
but correct me if im wrong ed but was it not sigurdsson that was signed by his previous club only to see the manager sacked and the new guy not want him,and is this the most likely reason he did not go to swansea when he did not no who the manager was going to be .
so please tell me why when he said he does not want to risk this happening again will he go to a managerless spurs when he has a manager that clearly values him and has signed him twice .
i think 100% this brilliant young player will be a red next season. {Ed005's Note - I agree mate. Spurs may be interested however I think too much is being made of it.}


I wish you were right, but sadly he's on his way to Spurs! Would love to know why?? Not a great start to the summer transfer window!


 

 

26 Jun 2012 15:14:00
I GOTTA SAY IM ADDICTED TO THIS SITE!!
but lately its just all the same. eds must be sick of answering ( whats going on with sig, is rodriquez possible, will we be buying gaston ramirez, is skrtel guna leave) the search function is there for a reason and eds have told people on numorous times to use it. although i do believe that if people dont keep asking these questions nothing will be posted on this site as liverpool are keeping there cards close to there chest which i believe is the right thing to do. as they are doing this nobody knows who are targets are therefore people keep bringing up the same names in which newspapers make up as they are in the same position as all of us which is not in the know! i personally believe ( this is my view and im not pretending im friends with stevie gs dog and he told me this ) but i feel that if the sig rumours are real then people got bored of saying it will be complete when he gets back from holiday that they made up about spurs signing him to throw a spanner in the works and it looks like its worked, you see the same people on this site putting sig 100% signing then the next week lfc missed another target in sig as spurs have signed him. so then what happened to 100% signed ? i just feel sorry for eds as so much bull is posted and they gotta answer the same questions 100 times. now my rant is over eds could you give us your views on who you believe will be the top 6 next year and in what order.
weymouth red {Ed005's Note - Think the top 4 next year will be in this order: Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool. But I'm biased mate. In all honesty - Tottenham potentially losing Modric and maybe one or two others, added to Redknapp leaving could massivly help us. Arsenal potentially losing RVP could also help us.}


Note of warning: when predicting your top teams in the premiership next season beware of the Geordies. They will bring in good players in the next few weeks.


I very doubt we will get top4 next season. The geordies n arsenal have a better squad than us. I would be pretty happy with a 5th place finish n win the FA Cup/Europa league. Play the young ones in the COC.

26 Jun 2012 15:13:54
Liverpool ins will be Ramirez Munian rondon and Lovren. Outs will be aqua cole kuyt maxi etc plus skrtel for about 25 million which which will leave net spend at around 25 million but squad will have improved plus wage bill is drastically reduced

Thanks jc just opinion by the way.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 15:12:55
Alright Ed(s). Just a point for people to think about. Everyone is a little bit frustrated about the sigurdsson saga. To be honest I don't think he's as good as people make out he is. He did have a good time at swansea but he could be another charley Adam who looked good in a small team. If he was as good as we think then why do hoffenhiem want rid of him? They would try there best to keep him or at least demand shed loads of money for him. Also I don't want people to play for liverpool for the wage packet, we want them to play for the shirt so if he wants more money let him go to spurs.

Dan {Ed005's Note - He doesn't fit in to how Hoffenheim play so what's the point in keeping him there. And he's nothing like Adam was at Blackpool in my opinion. He shown us at Swansea what a great player he was - his movement is top class, his passing is on another level and he looked far far too good for them last year. Adam on the other hand was over-hyped imo. Had a good couple of months and that's it - showed no distinct quality at Blackpool in my eyes. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.}


Too slow in thought and deed Adam has the poise and dexterity of a slighty mouldy bag of King Edwards potatoes. I will be delighted if he leaves as he is clearly not good enough for Liverpool. Why was he signed, he's desperately ordinary.


To be ed and all, im of opinion the Adam maybe is not right for LFC, and thats all. He is a big chucky type of player, yes...but a bag of spuds! lol

The guys passing and free kicks alone make him a little batter than that. His crossing was exceptional at blackpool and range of passing very good. He is not a great tackler and does not have amazing work rate, but he was class IMHO and i think a lot of people knocking him thought he was damn good when he wasnt playing less well for us

Do you how much the bids Liverpool have submitted for sigurdsson are? Are Liverpool submitting less than the deal that swansea had in place, or do hoffenheim want more now?

Liverpool will end up sharing the Stanley Park site with Everton, somewhere between 55k to 57,000 seats is been quoted, this is a compromise between Everton's ability to fill the stadium and it been close to the minimum Liverpool will look to attract.

Meetings between Liverppol City Coucil, Government representation, Everton and FSG have been intensifying recently. A consensus will soon be reached and the plan is taking shape. Its what the majority Everton supporting Council are pushing for. Its what Everton Football Club want. FSG are keen too, it will be the option whereby they will not have the burden of sole investors.

FSG will recoup most of their investment selling or redeveloping Anfield and will look to gain substantial naming rights for the stadium as well, there will be incentives offered by the council and a lot less blue tape, (well it is a blue council).

This is a very good deal for Liverpool City Council, Everton, and FSG and people who live in the area. With Stadium naming rights, Council and Governmental funding, the sale or redeveloping of the old stadiums, and regeneration of the entire Stanley Park Area. The cost to both clubs for this project is deemed will within reasonable expectations and makes financial and economic sense.

How it pans out for Liverpool fans is open for debate. There will be no 70,000 dream stadium, They will have to share with less illustrious neighbours, who may be viewed as gatecrashers getting a slice of pie thats really not theirs.

Maybe Liverpool have settled for less than what they actually are. The may have chosen the cheapest option financially and are knowingly lowering thier possible revenue streams in hope that shared costs will mitigate those lost income streams and won't adversely affect FSG and their profits. But maybe in their compromise to settle for less costs, FSG will have helped a major rival gain everything they could have hoped for and inadvertently made Everton true competitors once more.

Anyway expect to hear about the stadium share more and more over the next few months, its a reality, and the spin is about to go into overdrive. David Moyes utterances recently were the first shots across the bow. Its what Henry has been hinting at in the last couple weeks, talking about costs and alluding to what makes financial sense. This has all been planned and orchestrated, so be prepared for a major charm offensive and a myriad of economic reasons why it is unavoidable, why it makes sense. and why its vital for the regeneration of both clubs and for the City of Liverpool.

It may be a shame from a Liverpool fans perspective and many Everton fans hate the thought of sharing too. Its still a true fact, Liverpool and Everton will share the Stanley Park Stadium! Its going to be great for all parties involved, even though for Liverpool fans in particular it may not seem so, its still has to be seen as major progress for the club. And truly amazing progress for the entire city of Liverpool and Stanley Park's regeneration

Can u please write whether u think andy carroll will fit into rodgers tiki taka system or not .

Sanjit {Ed001's Note - of course he will, because Rodgers plays the system that Pep tried to change to, that was why he signed Ibrahimovic, to be the big man who played point. It didn't work out for Barca, it was difficult to integrate the ego that is Ibra into the team ethic, but Rodgers managed it with Graham last season.}

Some fans on here need to stop being so negative. All I'm reading is "Arsenal, United, Chelsea, have all signed players and we haven't" we all know LFC do business behind closed doors, so how do you know we haven't agreed to sign Sig? Or anyone else for that matter.

He worked very closely with Rogers and I'm sure Rogers has spoken to him on the phone to see if he is happy to join him at Liverpool. The window doesn't open until July 1st and I'm sure we are negotiating deals as we speak.

I'm not saying I'm in the know, because besides macca and the Eds, who is? All I'm saying is, I'm expecting Sig to sign for us, plus a right sided player who can play on the right midfield or as a forward in a 433

Be patient and I'm sure we will sign 2 or 3 quality players, plus replacements if needed.

If Aquilani doesn't want to stay at Liverpool wouldn't it be wise to use him as player exchange plus some cash for Italian Serie targets(Gaston Ramirez, Stevan Jovetic, Milos Krasic, Elia etc.)
And ppl how do u rate Joe Cole I would definitely want him out because of his high wages. With the amount of wage he is on we can easily accomodate two free signings.


I dot think anybody wants aquilani that's why we are stuck with him.
Just release him.
The problem with free signings is that they usually come with very high wages as well.
Joe cole had a good season out on loan, if Brendan is confident he can get that form
Out of him again then why not keep him.
I would rather have cole than aquilani anyway.

Arsenal did good job in Transfer. they move very fast. Liverpool very slow in decision making anyone agree ?

r-r


Right this is p---ing me off now,why is everyone worried what other teams are doing in the transfers,so what other teams are getting players now,there are 2 months in the transfer window so get a grip,you are all acting like spoilt little kids moaning what other clubs are doing get a grip and act like adults.Lee


That's because nobody decant wants to play for Liverpool.


Yeah they did an amazing job, perhaps we should 'sign' players in feb instead of waiting around. Ohh wait theres a transfer window and no one has yet moved. Silly me


What's the rush? sign a player now and you have to pay their wages all through the summer when they're not really working, what if you sign a player early then he gets injured during the summer? and forgetting all of that, the transfer window is yet to open.


If you sign a player when training restarts for the squad he can get to know the team and manager's ways a lot quicker


Yeah Wenger is covering his back for the impending sale of Van Persie.


Absolutely mate. Everyone knows players purchased before 26th June are better than the rest. . I jest of course. Window not even open and we have this level of whining already. Eds, I hope you have a plentiful stock of happy pills. It's going to be a long summer!

Liverpool :

Season starts tomorrow does it. If arsenal sell RVP then tell me that they have had a good pre-season transfer record.Players will move and players will come in but let BR assess what he needs as im sick an tired of signing players who cant even play in the system we play.


Action needed? international transfer window isnt open yet, rodgers hasnt had any time to evaluate his team due to holidays and euros. none of the names you have mentioned are confirmed liverpool prime targets. and im sure you will be the first to jump down rodgers neck if he rushes into buying players without avaluating what he needs just to see them fail. wish people would have more faith in rodgers, if hes made no signings at the end of the window then worry but not before you even know who his targets are and who he feels he needs.
weymouth red


Only powell has ever played in the English leagues, the rest havent at all. So all of them could be flops. Has that ever occured to someone? Because its a 'big name' player doesnt mean they will do anything


Man U and Arsenal both have managers that have been there ages and well managers dont sign players for chelsea Big Rom does ha-ha. So calm down, im just sick of so called supporters slating Liverpool at every turn, why is action needed the International Window hasnt even opened properly yet.


All the above players have achieved nothing in the EPL yet mate.
It's about getting the right players in not who gets them first. It's not a race.

All of you mindless idiots that keep saying FSG out need to grow the hell up, or go support another club, so called fans like you are a disgrace to football and the human race for that matter, the way Liverpool work is behind closed doors, it is very difficult to get any information, every player we have been linked with is pure media speculation, we won't know who they are after till that player has talks. So if you don't like it then go away, a true fan is someone who supports the entire club, not like some of you idiots, who moan at every so called player who has been linked with us not joining. Let's not forget we have a new manager who may have totally different targets to the previous regime, these things take time, so stop moaning and support our club

Big red g


Well said i feel exactly the same!
weymouth red


Big Red G, I also wanted to have a go and say exactly the same thing you just said but its pointless those idiots are so called judging success on buying a player before the transfer window even opens. So what if other teams have signed players its not like every player in the world is snapped up now. I used to love coming onto this site but now its just a bunch of idiots who moan all the time. why support a club if all you have to say about them is just negitive crap!


Big red g m8 chill a we bit ,yes I agree sum people need to relax and wait Liverpool is great club to support not just because of the team , sum people need to be told to keep calm not go support x/y/z we all got part to play people on here over hyping things on a web site ,worrying etc .there no need ! It's great that the club has so many fans in the world but some are going to get stressed about r last few season s, we Carnt hide from that fact ,but we will get better every body keep the faith don't go support x/y/z
YNWA lfc linc


Big red g's definition of a real fan:

Do not have an opinion!
Do not show frustration!
Do not criticise the clubs ownership ever!
Do not express dissent!
Do not become impatient!
Do not be an individual!
Do not want more than the owners are prepared to offer!
Do not dare show support for the club in a different manner than Big reg g!

Breaking: Gylfie's dad, Sigurdur Adalsteinsson has just been interviewed on an Icelandic radio station and what he said was that Gylfie enjoyed working under Brendan Rodgers and this matter will be resolved by this weekend.

However we do understand that the spurs offer is still there but according to his dad he has NOT decided on anything yet.

John Fogarty ‏@JohnFogartyIrl

Sigurdsson #LFC transfer still on. Hoffenheim want bigger fee. Ramirez' agent talking to #LFC & other Prem club over next couple of days.

John Fogarty ‏@JohnFogartyIrl

Sigurdsson wants to join #LFC. Fee is actually agreed. Payment structure to be discussed.

Hi Eds do you think we could get back players like Mascherano, Torres, Alonso. etc. if we finished top 4 this year.
I would welcome them back. {Ed002's Note - Sure, no problem.}


I'd prefer to have Souness, Heighway and Dalglish. They got us top 1, nevermind 4th!


Only one i would take back is Alonso, the other two can go F*&! themselves!


Alonso yes plz. Do hell with torres n mascherano. Id rather have spearing n ngog, atleast they didnt walk out on us.

for the fans blaming the owners for not spending over the top prices on players , try blaming kenny , he WASTED 20 MIL ON DOWNING , 16 MIL ON HENDERSON AND 7 MIL ON ADAM , THATS 43 MILL DOWN THE PAN , and your moaning that the owners dont want to do it again , i dont blame them , because theres no way we could get half of that back if we sold the 3 of them heres a question for all of yous , who could we have signed who is better than downing for 20 mil , theres loads of v-good players out there who are a lot better than downing , and the same goes for the other 2 , in hendeson and adam , lets say instead of adam we could have got gylfi sig , and for hendersons money we could have got gaston ramerez , and for downings money we could have got james rodriguez , so if you think about it we could have had these players already instead of the curley ,larry and mo , the 3 stoodges , nice one kenny ,,,,,,,,,,mickey b


I agree with you but dont feel we can blame just kenny as damian comolli had an input also. arguably are best signing last year was bellamy, so just cus someone costs 20 mil ( downing and hendo )dosent mean there a better player.
weymouth red


He built the british core again, I like all those players just downing could have done more


Kenny, Damien and Steve Clarke had a plan to sign mostly younger but proven Premiership players Henderson, Downing, Carroll, Adam, Enrique and with Suarez and Coates thrown in and the slightly older but experienced and free Craig Bellamy but for whatever reason it didn't work. They can't predict the future.
A lot of it, I think has got to be said, was the fault of the fans and that horrible, negative atmosphere that that was created there last season that I think actually affected the players and lost us points.


And who's to say them 3 players would be any better mate?
Most people on here where made up with the players when we signed them.

MIKEY THE YAWNING HIPPO


Never mind if their better players or not, and if they would suit the prem, the question is, how do you know rodriguez and ramirez would be willing to come to England never mind LIVERPOOL fc....

RED4lifeNOTjust4XMAS


Cant believe some of the answers , the players i mentioned we could have got instead of the 3 stoodges have been linked with our club and many on here have said they would want them to come thats why i put their names in the post , and i have not seen anyone of those who answered my post say the same things about the players when they are mentioned in other posts , some have said how do i know they would settle in england , well why did it take a season for some players to bed in last season when they have grew up with the english game , and kenny said in an interview after damien was sacked that these were the playes HE wanted , so it is down to kenny , and as one of you pointed out we were made up with the carrol and downing partnership myself included who was it that never used that partnership to its full potential , yes kenny , he made downing into an attacking midfielder with licence to roam , so that meant downing was not there to put the crosses in for andy , but instead what happend was that downing had the most shots at goal more than any other player in the prem last season and he never scored once in the prem , that should tell you why kenny got it so wrong


 

 

26 Jun 2012 14:19:54
ok so a journalist for the Irish examiner has tweeted the following:

Sigurdsson wants to join LFC and a fee has been agreed. Payment structure is to be discussed. And re Rodriguez (hoping James), deal is on the table

He also states that Ramirez's agent Pablo Bentacourt is due to meet with LFC tomorrow

The thoughts of us getting the three above would be amazing however I assume we will only get one if we are lucky.

Eds, what do you think.

More likely to be Jese Rodriguez of Real Madrid.

A lot of people need to stop pretending they know how to run Liverpool Football Club better than the people in charge. The posts slamming our scouting team are idiotic.

And why do people also assume nothing is going on behind the scenes just because the trash newspapers havent reported it yet.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 14:14:08
Ed if Liverpool miss out on sigardson. Do you think they may turn to gaston Ramirez as an option.
Thanks jc {Ed002's Note - We'll see.}


Personally I think we're in for both.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 14:14:02
Siggy to Liverpool dont believe all these BS rumours, the connection between rodgers and siggy is too strong to be overcome by a team with no manager and also no champions league football as well as us so they have nothing more to offer... YNWA


 

 

26 Jun 2012 14:12:32
Is it wrong to be getting worried about transfer business already?

Perhaps I'm just pessimistic and Rodgers will actually vanquish the average crap from the squad and bring in some quality...


 

 

26 Jun 2012 14:04:26
Can the people who have said Sigs has signed for Spurs please tell me where you have found confirmation of this......... Bbc nothing......sly nothing......itv nothing......... Papers nothing..... I just think we all need to calm down a bit. For goodness sake July the first is the day it all starts for LFC and Brendan rogers. Spurs dont have a mgr, dont even have a proper shortlist either yet!

If Sig wants to play for LFC he will sign....if he doesnt he wont......simple as that!


I wouldnt get too excited over the 1st of July either.
Oh, i can just see all the posts on sunday.....

Ironic thing abou these jokes is actualy played last week with Saurez in the Masters vs Stars game .Also do not forget that the scouts have watched alot of players and assembled a profile on players but different managers will read different things into these profiles.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 14:01:55
hi eds , ive just seen on slysports that arsenal have done another deal this time for girud , thats podolski and now girud , and the window is not even open , arsenal dont offer high wages , as ive posted yesterday why is it taking so long with SIGG , man utd and chelsea have also done deals with players , so they will have their signings in july , wich when they move they will train with the teams and get going a bit quicker , we have one of the best strikers in the world in suarez , coates is an outstanding defender who could fill skertals place , and we have danny wilson as a back up , kuyt gone so we need a right winger a fast trickey and skillfullattacking midfielder , i dont know why we are getting beat to these signings because girud was on our radar , i know that the transfer widow starts in july , but the clubs above us have deals done , so we are already getting left behind , if we sign huntelaar i dont think it means us selling suarez because they 2 of them had a very good understanding at ajax , but it does seem to me that we have watched a lot of players but we let them go withiut a fight , so whats the use of watching these players , it would just be nice if we knew as fans where we stand with signings and potential signings , its not as if the players we are linked with are out of our finacial reach is it
rant over {Ed002's Note - Arsenal offer slightly higher wages on average than Liverpool. I would imagine much of what is goining on at Liverpool awaits the new manager taking a look at the squad to see what additions are required, who is leaving etc.}


They could also be about to lose Robin Van Persie! Wenger was nearly kicked out last summer over leaving transfers late so he's only re-acting like this due to that. He is also a manager thats been there for 16 years, not one thats just got there and yet to asses the squad and the situation.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 14:01:12
Paul Merson has reportedly said that Carroll is a disgrace for not having taken a penalty in the shoot-out against Italy. He even stated that 35 mil pounds was paid for him. What I fail to understand is who aid the transfer money? England or Liverpool? And why is the price tag an issue at all?? I thought that Roy Hodgson had special penalty taking sessions, as he was anticipating that the game could go to penalties as it did. It would seem to make sense that those who were selected were the best options based on those paractice sessions. Young and Cole are good penalty takers but it was not their day. Paul Merson is just being mischievious and grossly disrespectful not only of Carroll but Hodgson and the entire England team. Then again were certain players deserving to have lasted 120 mins on the day? Certainly not! But are they being singled out? No! For instance, those who have seen videos of Pirlo taking penalties should have anticipated that he could try such a cheeky penalty? Was the technical team and Hart wrong? Certainly not! England tried and failed and we give them due credit. They lost as a team, and trying to find faults in certian players is possibly why England are such perrennial if not sore losers at this level.


Who is Paul Merson? (sarcasm)

KernowRed


Merson - complete tool. Not worth the energy your brain used to think that post. Ignore the waste of space.
ND


The one thing av allways said is forwards should allways take pens in penalty shoot outs because there forwards and there job is to put the ball in the net,i was surprised to that carroll never took a pen. Lee


The manager decides who takes the penalties not the players. Merson is a joke.

Who was the 5th Penalty taker?.. Gerrard, Rooney, Young and Cole..

If Liverpool don't sign Sigurdsson this summer, will the world actually end? I'm getting quite worried now as all the posters are freaking out like its the end of the world.
I have an order of 40k bottles of water, a tent and 100k tins of baked beans on standby waiting for your response.

26 Jun 2012 13:41:24
Siggi was such a simple transfer to get done yet we still insist on dragging out negotiations and missing out on our target once again !!! whoever negotiates these deals is just a useless as the previous ( Rick parry , Comolli and even Purslow ) soo sluggish in the transfer market its unbelievable , and I know it hasn't opened yet but that hasn't stopped united arsenal and Chelski


Unless your his agent which I doubt, how the hell do you know whats going on?
Seems to me like whatever the owners try to do they are going to get accused of doing wrong.
Last year they were accused of paying over the odd's now there getting accused of not been willing to pay enough?
Ever thought BR may rate the player at a certain value and if he's going to be more then he might have other options?
A few weeks back it was one of the few positions we weren't talking about and he wasn't mentioned, so lets just calm down, if he wants to play for us and we can get him for a price were happy with then good, if not then why do we want him anyway.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 13:37:24

26 Jun 2012 13:34:36
What's with all the moaning about Sigurdsson? If he has chosen Spuds ahead of LFC because they offered more money then he was never the right player for us.

Anyway, just because some journo assumes his agent met with Spuds doesn't necessarily mean he did meet with them and close the deal.

Lets wait til the deal is done. If he is a decent bloke and wants to work with BR then there is nothing to worry about.

Great site by the way, very addictive!!

RIP Miki Roque YNWA


Irish Andy


His decision is not based on more money, Spurs have been going for the Champions League spot on a regular basis. Liverpool have finished 8th last season, Slightly higher the season before and dont look to be improving for next season. Sigurdsson's choice looks to be based on whats best for his career. cant argue with that.


Spurs have also just sacked the manager that was getting them into that top 4 finish and could be on the verge of losing a number of their best players through this, retirement and the fact they don't offer champions league next season, just like we don't. Personally at this moment in time I would argue that Liverpool are in a better position than Spurs, certainly next season I think depending on what manager they pick and if they hold onto the likes of Modric (which they won't) and spend huge vast sums on players (which they won't because Levy is as tight as they come).


 

 

26 Jun 2012 13:34:12
What's with all this uproar about Sigi?

A few weeks back people were livid he was a transfer target, now because he is linked with spurs (by the most trustworthy sources i might add) people are blaming the owners and Rodgers for not getting him straight away.

The truth is no one on this site knows what's happening, same as the papers, same as the bookies...

Brendan Rodgers is Liverpool manager for a reason and i'm sure he will do what's best for us, if that means signing Sigi or not wanting to pay over the top for him, I'll support him whatever, just have a little patience and faith in what the owners and him are doing.

G BOX


Burn the flags, tear up your season tickets, boycott the matches, LFC MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT have missed out on a transfer target. Disgraceful.

G BOX mate those of us who have a little common sense and patience like you and myself and the majority of posters that come on here, realises no one actually who is been targeted, and who ever we do target, we will support them.

Regardless of who it is, LFC will no longer be held to ransom, they have a budget in place for a reason. No player is bigger than LFC

I tell you he has been brought in to run the club on a shoestring budget. Even if we manage to speak to players they will say Brendan who?


I second that. Bad appointment.

Liverpool were unlucky last season. In alot of games, with quite a few new faces, we were the better team we just lacked that killer touch and the games that the team clicked in we looked like a league winning team . Kenny done a good job last year in certain areas but he lacked tactically and hesitated with substitutions . I firmly believe there is not alot needed to be added to the squad all we need is some width and one class striker to be added (in the world of football there quite a few options to fill these positions) so why are Liverpool fans talking relegation before a ball has even been kicked in pre-season . Give Rodgers and the team the support they deserve and stop bitching about arsenal signing podolski and Newcastle bidding for de jong it's trivial we are supposed to be Tue best supporters in the world lets start acting like it

Lucky the red


Unlucky? We were crap. Look at our home record then look at the premiership table.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 13:29:13
Its a sad day for liverpool when the owners cant stump up 8 million for a player. Looks like we are going to be mid table for a long time. With a mid table manager and mid table players after the owners sell all the best ones.


You are a prat, there are plenty of other players out there, I for one want players that want to play for our club

26 Jun 2012 13:26:28
Alright Ed's and fellow fans.

I really enjoy this site but I had to post this rant as this is getting ridiculous.

It amazes me that so many fans are getting themselves wound up because we have not yet made any signings, and are coming on here stating utter nonsense about the club having no money, that we're "losing" out on players to other clubs and that we're gonna be facing a relegation battle. I am also sick of reading how fans are annoyed that the club and FSG are not releasing any info on any of the above.

Do you not think that maybe the club want to keep things like transfer targets, funds etc behind closed doors so that a) we can approach potential targets without attracting attention of clubs that have champs league or higher wages to offer and b) we are not ripped off for average players like has happened too many times in the recent past.

The European championships are not finished yet and many players will be on holidays atm, as will many managers. The transfer window remains open for another 2 months if I'm not mistaken, why cant fans just be patient and have a little faith? I thought we were supposed to be the best fans in the world.

I may be wrong but I am sure that if BR or FSG felt the price was right on de jong or sig then bids would be agreed with their respective clubs. I think in this day and age managers need to be very concious of how much they spend on players now and I feel this has played a huge part in these 2 players transfer. Also, I think that teams like spurs have spent big in the last few years with very little return and if they dont get CL this year they will be in trouble. And I think that because our big money signings last summer weren't an instant success this will be a big factor in signings this summer.

Like most fans, I am hoping for some news soon on the transfer front (this is why I check this page all the time) but I'm not going to jump to stupid conclusions if I see players we are linked with move elsewhere.

It is obvious that BR does not want GYLFI.S as this would of been put to bed by now - yes i know he has been on holiday but by now it should of been done.
Dissapointed really as he would of been a good addition, but we cannot force people to sign can we - so what next and who else will be the flavour of the week but no end result.

How good are Spurs in signing him with no manager, maybe they wont get a manger and let the board run the show!

Dissalussioned at the moment - another inept season on the cards then


Go support another team then

26 Jun 2012 13:15:05
Eds,

1)Is Liverpool unwilling to up bid for Gylfi Sig? I think if 7-9M already good price. I can see why Gylfi prefer Spurs if LFC dont even want to bid. 6.8M only price for Swansea, right before he play well in EPL.

Then Im very sorry as liverpool fans to see such quality player with value below 10M slip away from our hand.

Hope u post this Eds.

Do you think that the return of Aquilani would be behind whether we actually end up getting Sigurdsson?
Doubt FSG would be willing to bring him in when we have so many options in that position on fairly high wages also. {Ed002's Note - No.}


Fsg are a joke


Thats wy we need some 1 like james rodrigues, and rondon, maybe adam johnson, spurs needs sidgurson, becouse, they r sellin mondric, we got gerrard, hendo. Aquaman, so good fsg invert in wer we need

why are people bothered that sygersson might sign for spurs he is not good enough for liverpool.its the same with rodgers not good enough.one season wonder at swansea we are a big club and we want big players and we should have a bigger manager.
tonywebbo


You will be proven right in time mate on both accounts especially Rogers.


Your not good enough IMHO
gareth


The owners are tight, Rodgers is not ready for the Liverpool job, and kenny wasted so much money liverpool will never be top 4


Well said tony wtf we are going backwards and backwards fsg make big money transfers across the pond weres ours as we were promised. swansea had 1st season excitement this year (every game a cup final as i call it same with norwich) if br did the same this year with them than yes he would be classed as a good manager but i hope i eat my words but we are lfc we deserve better


 

 

26 Jun 2012 13:07:56
Beasically by the way things are looking, with our "nailed on sigurdsson signing" having shat on Rodgers from a great hieght and snubbed us for spurs, it would appear that all we have to look forward to is the possible signing of krasic and even that may be at the expense of our only real match winner Suarez! I know it's not your fault eds and you are all just telling us straight but every player we ask about other than sig and krasic is "not going to be at lfc next year"
What is going on with our teams negotiators? Jones sigurdsson and whickam all in advanced talks with us and all go elsewhere something is wrong with this IMHO!

He never rejected us FSG are too tight to play 8 million.


Too tight to pay 8 mil, they've already forked out a great sum and have already shown the desire to spend money, REALLY you guy's should stop moaning and have patience.

(with calculator at hand and deducing that 20% more is not insubstantial). {Ed002's Note - The truth will out KB. I am told that offering Sigurdsson and Ecomony Class flight over rather than a Business Class ticket blew the deal.}


Holy B. Nora.
Haha.
If that is the case, Liverpool deserve what they get.
Thanks for the info Ed. Fascinating stuff.

Ha ha ha Ed 2. You have just made my day. I just do not understand why fans are taking this to their hearts. It just aint worth losing sleep over. Besides Sig would be or would have been part of a team, and someone else will just take the slot that he was being earmarked for.


Haha, you pulling my labradoodle Ed !

Hi Eds,

Serious question: if you know transfer information you are hardly going to post it are you. With Liverpool trying to keep dealings under the radar it would surely be foolish to publicise this? Not sure why people continue to ask who we are going to sign as you're not going to say.

Regards
Nick {Ed002's Note - Where we know if a player has been watched or enquiries or there is confirmation of interest then that will not be kept under wraps. To say who will actually be signed is something I cannot do.}

WHEN WILL LIVERPOOL START MAKING BIDS? This really pisses me off as fan for life.

We could at least move forward on cases like Gylfi or Rondon or all those players that are not involved in Euros !
We could even start ask about the ones that have shown great prospect like this Yarmolenko from Dynamo Kiev ....

COME ON WE ARE LIVERPOOL !
We saw lots of players choose other destinations and that is really upsetting !!
Young (Thank god), Mata, Aguero, Jones, Chamberlain, and others earlier like Silva for exemple ... we really should star showing OUR INTEREST AND MAKE IT KNOWN !


We probably have started making bids for players but the top ones want Champions League which we cannot offer. We are not the attraction we were in the past - FACT.


FSG are to blame. They can't even pay 8 million. And they want a top 4 finish


If your thinking of reading the above post it might be better to just move onto the next. save that small portion of your life you will never get back.

MIKEY THE YAWNING HIPPO


We were the club who bid and had a bid accepted for Jones last year.He was at Melwood with officials when Fergie got wind and flew home to hijack the deal, so your so way off on that one.

We couldn't have afforded Aguero last season so that was a no go.
In regards to Mata and Chambrlain I do feel we should have acted on signing these players, but Chamberlain was always going to sign for Arsenal because of his dad.

Mata was never gonna be offered the wages he could of got at Chelsea and I don't think we showed any interest, but I would have spent the extra to get hi if possible instead of Downing.

Why are so many people hating Sigurdsson? Whether he joins LFC or Totters, i do not really see what he has done wrong. I wish some of these so called supporters would grow up! If he was reading this stuff i wouldn't blame him for going to another team. You guys that write this crap should remember its not just what we as a club could do for him, but what he offers us too! Also, why should he not play for who wishes to? I'm sure BR doesn;t feel he Sig owes us, but would like him to come to LFC, like i would
stop the hate!

26 Jun 2012 12:56:08
News sources reporting gylfi has agreed to join spurs so it must be true ...
Just like when liverpool signed hazard and cavani and ramerez and aguero and bale and richards and sturridge and got alonso back and mascherano are you getting my point here the transfer window is not even open and already managerless spurs have magically signed sigg i love the news hahah

If its true fulham are after A Ramsey surely if the price is right we should at least take a look very good player and came back well after bad injury,still very young and can only get better


He is awful, gives the ball away all the time, how about instead of calling for him because he's young and only going to get better we just support Jordan Henderson ?

26 Jun 2012 12:35:54
Eds - Can you shed any light on what could be the reasons for Gylfi Sigurdsson choosing to sign for Spurs over Liverpool?
I thought his relationship with BR was pretty strong, hence the reason for him choosing against a move to Swansea in favour of LFC.
Not sure how accurate reports are that he is off to Tottenham, but would like to hear your views on reasons that he could make the move.
Cheers {Ed002's Note - I have written more than enough on this matter already.}


I have seen nothing on sly sports yet


 

 

26 Jun 2012 12:35:26
My whole take on the sigurdsson deal at the minute is,If liverpool really want him they will sign him or maybe a long term target that wasn't available has now become available for the club either way relax redmen. I think the club know what there doing.


gee man


 

 

26 Jun 2012 12:29:59
If Spurs actually sign Sigurdsson it will show how pathetic this club has become.
just about 100% to come to LFC because of Rodgers
but will got to Spurs that dosent even have a manager?? wtf.
if it is something to do with fee or wage what about us spending 16m & 20m on hendo and Downing and we cant just give 7-8m for Sigurdsson.
does this mean Spurs are richer? really how are we struggling to match Spurs.

F5


Spot on mate, yonks are tight ! The more they spend on transfers the less they pocket for themselves.It's a money making business to them.They were never going to build a new ground from the off,I would be surprised if they are still here in two years.

Baz F


Sigurdsson has a price tag mate, if were getting above the 8 million mark then there may better players available at that price. Downing and henderson wre well overpriced, hopefully lfc atre putting a stop to spending over the odds for players who are not worth that. I personally dont mind Sigurdsson but hes by no means the best player available this summer.


Spending 16m and 20m on Hendo and Downing - do you not mean wasting?


 

 

26 Jun 2012 12:27:41
Dont worry if we dont sign Sigurdsson (Although I rate his potential) BR will have players who he has in mind and im sure he will have the backing of FSG but we wont be held to ransom!

Our main aim is to keep the quality players we have our CB's are a well oiled machine and keeping them together and fit is essential.

Also little luis has not covered himself in glory at Anfield so far he is a loose cannon but what he offers and what he can do to defences is mind blowing replacing him would cost 50 mill for sure he has the potential to be in the LFC hall of fame and letting him go would be a massive mistake.

Keep the faith, believe and be positive ffs!!


I dont understand how people disagree that we need to keep hold of our key players?


 

 

26 Jun 2012 12:27:06
whats the problem with some of you. why do you think you have inside info when you know damm well you have not. the eds tell you when they got something but no you always know better. the truth is no one apart from br and the owners have a clue whats going on. just maybe alot of the players that keep being brought up lfc dont want. just because br said he would watch what was going on with sig that dont mean he is going to buy him. even though i think will get him but who knows. time will tell.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 12:25:22
dissapointingly,we've lost the battle to sign siggurdson'. I hold no grudges other than to say theres plenty more fish in the sea and hopefully Rodgers signs a quailty midfielder'

The scout'


Somehow when it comes to Sigurdsson Liverpool have managed to do the impossible, which is finish second in a one horse race...baffled


 

 

26 Jun 2012 12:20:10
Hey peeps,

I cant help but think it may be better for us to sell some of our bigger players. Nobody team would want to loose players like Suarez or Squirtle but when you look at the price people would be pay for them we can completly bolster our attack force.

I reckon we could get another 50mil for the pair not including the other players we could sell without shaking the team too much. I know it could be a potential Carrol/Torres situation again but i think BR has a cooler head when it comes to spotting talent, not just signing players because they are English.

Look at Newcastle, maybe we should take a few notes on how their signings have done?

Much Love
Josh LFC


 

 

26 Jun 2012 12:19:32
hi eds and reds!

just a thought on siggy spurs situation, i have no idea if the rumours are true that hes nailed on for them, but has it crossed peoples minds that spurs know the manager they want ? i remember when br took over from kenny he said he had been in contact with gerrard throughout the process,why cant the same be happening for spurs?

swedish adam!


 

 

26 Jun 2012 10:55:05
Hi Eds & Reds,


I have a non Gylfi related question - not too many of those going about today! I posted a few days saying i believe BR will adapt a style of play that will encompass his own Tika Taka style and traditional LFC pass and move play. In your opinion Eds, who do ye think of current squad has the best technical ability to adapt BR' s style of play. I know he hasnt had time yet to assess squad, but who do you of our players are best at ball retention and chasing play when dont have ball?

R_R {Ed001's Note - Lucas, Suarez, Suso.}


Id say yes to the 3 plus Agger, Reina and probably hendesron if played in correct position.


Sterling toni silva maxi cole?


Hi R-R. I was thinking the other day if Brendan would be adopting a pure tiki taka system, or if he would adapt it a little to at least accommodate the Liverpool players a bit better. At least at first.
Do you think he will throw the players in at the deep end, pure tiki taka, see who sinks or swims to try get his system in place quicker? Or do you think it will take a couple of years and we will continue to see corners and the odd long ball?
Tiki taka is great and the way forward but I'm a little worried it will be a disaster should most of our players not adapt quickly enough. It's all very well when you have messi, iniesta etc but like the ed said the players at Liverpool most suited to it are Lucas, suso and Suarez. Injured, too young and probably leaving.

MIKEY THE YAWNING HIPPO


I'd also add Maxi and Henderson to the names Ed001

RedSG


Well Mikey mate,I think and this is only my own opinion, I dont think pure tika taka would suit us. I think a mix of both is what would suit us. All though its magnificiant to watch, we have have seen Barca been brought to a grinding halt by Chelsea, used defensive tactics and Barca did not want to play high balls into the box, they were trying to walk it in.

Also we have 6 foot 4 inch battering ram in the shape of Andy Carroll, who will have to change game a bit as well, but we will have to play to his strentghts as well.

I think there is a little bit of an obsession with tika taka to be honest, there are certain elements of it which are fantastic, ie ball retention, chasing ball down when not in possession, but at the same time , there are certain elements which can criticised, ie nearly having to score the perfect goal, trying to walk the ball into ther net.

So in summation, I want to se us play the LFC way, a healthy mix of attacking football with assertive defending combined with passion , pride and comittment that comes with wearing the illustrious red jersey.

@ Ed001, I thought of 2 of the 3 you said, I dont know much about Suso to be honest, but Agger spranf to my mind as well

R_R


Yes R-R I was mostly thinking the same.
Tiki taka light so to speak.
I think you always need a plan B when it's not working. We saw that with barca and Chelsea as you mentioned.
Luckily at Liverpool we have big andy to throw on, I would say he is a great plan B, gerrard, downing and maybe Adam can provide long balls when tiki taka goes wrong.
I fear we will just have teams coming to anfield and doing a Chelsea and parking the bus all season unless we have the ability to mix it up a little.

MIKEY THE YAWNING HIPPO

Hello ed(s), does Rogers have an assistant manager in place yet?

Cheers

He can f off back to swansea too.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 12:10:29
According to the "press"

We are selling;

Reina
Johnston
Agger
Spearing
Maxi
Suarez
Carroll
Bellamy
Eccleston

We already let go Kuyt and Fabio

We are interested in;

Sturridge
Johnson
Moses
De Jong
Huntelaar
Elia
Krasic
Castaignos
Rondon
Garcia
Sigurdsson
Rodriguez
Borini
Allen
Schurrle

+ many many more

So thats at least 11 out and 15 in then?

Are you still taking notice of them? Ever heard the expression if you throw enough sh*t some of it will stick!

hi ed great site..and good work
Need your honest reply and i trust you.

Are we in for gyfi?? or have spurs done it?

also what are our other targets?

we are bit slow in transfer market..

will this be our downfall?

Thanks
YNWA


Transfer market isnt open yet we only sign hendo by now last year


Transfer market may not be open, but deals can most definitely be agreed


 

 

26 Jun 2012 11:56:25
Has anybody considered the fact that as BR knows Gylfi, he knows his strengths and his short comings. If BR has looked at the current squad and seen Gerrard, Adam, Hendo, Shelvey etc and even Aqua and Cole (although unlikely to stay) with the youngsters also coming through maybe he doesn't consider Gylfi as a necessity. The fact we have equal / better players already in the squad, the focus is on other areas more in need of improvement i.e. wide right and an out and out goalscorer?

Mark the Selby Red


Good point.

26 Jun 2012 11:53:11
Am not bothered about the Sigurdsson to Spurs rumour at all because;
1. they ain't going to offer him more wages because he ain't Messi or Ronaldo.
2. they can't offer him champions league football 'cos they don't have it.
3. we have the managers( Babbel(ex player) and Brenda(present manager)) and they don't even have 'a' manager.
My only concern is if he will be a hit or flop.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 11:44:03
He Eds n all - just a bit of transfer speculation here -

media are reporting Rogers has 30m for the summer, which goes some way to justifying player sales - Skrtel, for example, might bring the pot up to 50m, which is not a bad sum, but may require bringing in a new CB.

On the othe hand, this may explain the Sigurdsson situation - we have a LOT of midfielders. the priorities should be the wings and a striker. Therefore, if we only have 30m and we spend 8/9 on Sigurdsson, that only leaves us with 20 for a striker AND winger. what will 10m get us? Krasic and Defoe, maybe?

point is, if Gylfi Sigurdsson doesnt sign, it will be because other positions need reinforcing first so that we dont have to sell and weaken other positions to raise funds.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 11:40:17
This is Anfield are reporting spurs have got Sigg'

Various reports in Germany claim a deal has been done between Hoffenheim and Tottenham – despite the London club not currently having a manager.

BBC Sport journalist Ben Smith wrote on twitter this morning "Hoffenheim had an agent in England yesterday, he flew back to Germany pm. If a deal has been done, almost certain it's not LFC."

Up until now, a deal with Liverpool appeared to be a formality, with Sigurdsson's strong relationship with Brendan Rodgers a huge lure for the player who spent last season on loan at Swansea with Rodgers. However, it now seems Spurs have outbid Liverpool and offered the player a better deal.

If indeed these reports are confirmed, and it looks like they will, it is a bitter blow to Rodgers' summer signing plans.

The fee for Sigurdsson is around 10m euros.

Don't know how reliable this is and am just passing it along.

Cheers


Spurs don't need a manager to sign players Daniel Levi is well capable of doing that himself for his club


I remember when Gazza signed for Spurs. He was nailed on to sign for Man Utd and had a verbal agreement with old whiskey nose only to back out at the last moment and sign for Spurs. They offered to buy his parents a house and give him a car along with a better deal. Sound Familiar!!!!


 

 

26 Jun 2012 11:30:52
why would sigurdson be moving to spurs? he has to find a club before sunday or hes staying at hoff. How would he be able to join spurs this week when they havnt even got a manager. For example the ajax defender (forgot his name) is frustrated as his move to spurs as has stalled. Also sig has expressed that he wants to work under BR at liverpool earlier this month and BR is deffo interested in bringing him to anfield. Personally i think it is just a way for the papers to fill an area of the sports section and just to create more excitement. For instance a new name is thrown into the hat everyday saying they are signing for liverpool by the papers. Therefore i dont think sig will sign for spurs.


Why would the player join a club without a manager , he may not even feature in the new managers plans?? Well , must be the money!!


May be Levy disclosed the incoming Manager to Sig, and perhaps Sig talked with the incoming manager, who may just be unannounced at this point. Just a thought.

Mos


For all we know Sig might know who the new Spurs manager is it's not inconceivable.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 11:29:27
I dont see the point in a managerless club signing players. What if the player doesnt fit into the new managers way of playing etc, seems pointless.

Oh well maybe a bit of sour grapes over Glyfi now he looks nailed on to join Spurs, i know fans are going to say why didnt we sign him, we should have offered more money and so on. But we are LFC we should not be held to ransom over money if a player wants to come to us, he wants to come. I know everyone has to earn money but im sure he would have got a decent wage.

If he does join them I can't wait for him to say it was for purely football reasons. lol

SA

(PS Oh and if all rumours about him joining spurs are just that, i apologise.)


If he joins spurs its because they are a better team I imagine

26 Jun 2012 11:26:46
Buzzing for the start of the season hopefully we can hold onto our key players ie Reina, Suarez and Skrtel although 20 plus million for Skrtel u had have to jump at that keepin Danny agger happy would be more a priority... Hopefully with one or two decent siginings we can challenge for a top 4 finish would love to see adam johnson and jermain defoe at Anfield if u got them both for around the 20 million mark as in 12 or 14 for Johsnon around 8 for defoe i think it would be good business... Also i think Jordan Henderson is going to have a great season next year and he will become a very important player for us in future years along with Martin Kelly if he can stay fit, must say i am very positive about the club moving forward now to get the boys back and see if Brendan Rodgers can take us forward... The future is bright! Y.N.W.A

RK11


Jordan Henderson - you are having a laugh.


If i was having a laugh would i have posted it? U obviously havent a clue about football, the boys is a great footballer and has great potential, great engine, two great feet and is determined and plays with passion he is a great prospect and with a bit of confidence and Stevie G as hid mentor he can become a top player!
RK11


Jordan Henderson is a quality player

26 Jun 2012 11:24:05
I am thinking that now Kuyt has gone will Joe Cole now be used on the right hand side of midfield? He has been good for Lille and he has a footballing brain which I feel BR will use. I just wonder what kind of calibre player we will be able to attract!

Just what we need after last season, less pace on the wings.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 11:12:06
Hi eds, I know you say Pacheco has burnt his bridges with Liverpool but he has said he will be back for preseason. Is there any chance of him staying and having a career at Liverpool? Thanks {Ed002's Note - I doubt it.}


Bridges can always be fixed


I guess it will depend on BR himself, but to be honest, hes not really that good is he now. alot of players have potential. but not all of them make it.

26 Jun 2012 11:11:19
Anybody else think that Hendo and Carroll will push on this season, due to them being played by Hodgson at the euros? There is no doubt, both have quality and can bring something to the team, surely we must keep faith in them, they are liverpool players and we are liverpool fans! plus for Hendo, playing day-in-day-out with Gerrard can only help him right?


Yes.

liverpool fc have 3 targets for the transfer market and 2 b honest they are pritty obvious gylfi siggurdson , milos krasic and luuk de jong


Luuk de Jong is going to the Geordies and Siggurdson is going to Spurs.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 11:05:43
Spurs haven't even got a manager yet and haven't sold Modric yet...... Surely it is down to the manager to identify his own targets and why would Sig go there without knowing who he is going to be playing for and whether or not he would be first choice? Your views Eds on this matter would be welcome {Ed002's Note - I have explained enough times already and suffered abuse for it. Please read the other posts.}

Not a rumour but a wish. Can't see it happening but would love to see Liverpool signing Hummels.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 10:58:53
Why do we struggle to close a deal so much??


Has it struck you that liverpool have not put a bid in for the player? Only news reports about sygurrdson. RedTurk


Becuse Henry has to got around like Yosser Hughes looking for a few Bob to seal the deal


 

 

26 Jun 2012 10:52:43
How much of an person is Paul Merson. He has no clue about anything. He is in the daily star slagging Andy Carroll off because he didn't take a penalty and that he should be ashamed of himself because of this. Maybe he didn't get asked to take one or they had decided who the penalty takers where before the match. Idiot!

Brisc93


I agree with Merson, Carroll is a centre forward and should be one of the first to take a penalty. Not good enough.


Or he could have even been set to take the final penalty also...

Burnsy


It's so stupid how does he not know he was gonna take the fith penalty or do we know he wasnt


He must be back on the pop.

MIKEY


Carrol or merson mikey? Both like the pop dont they? £35 mil for a guy with a drink problem 5 goals, thanks dalglish! RedTurk


Not really related but i thought glenn johnson is a much better penalty taker than both the ashleys

Does anyone think we will sell any (or all if I had my way) of Henderson, Downing, Carroll and Adam cos they are useless. Thanks Kenny.


Dalglish?


Kenny - you bleedin bought them


If i had my way, ill only sell adam if we get sigurdsson, n downing. ill keep henderson and carroll.

26 Jun 2012 10:48:33
Eds im just wondering did we ever have any interest in James Milner?
Because the year he went to city we had hodgson as our manager so i thought maybe he could have been interested in him.
Josh {Ed002's Note - I have recollection of interest.}


Oh! James Milner is really going to improve our team! He was usless at the Euros.


Whats the point in this question, have you got time to waste? RedTurk


 

 

26 Jun 2012 10:46:23
To all negative posters saying we can't attract this player or that player and that we aren't a big club.

Go onto Google, research the clubs that finished last season in the EPL 1,2,3,4,5,6 &7th places.

Have a look at the last 10 years, have a look at their successes.

Then do the same for Liverpool, and then compare us

It's not wallowing in the past this is our recent history, we had a bad season! Our position didn't really tell a true story of how we performed.

For f**k sake stop being so negative, we drew far too much at home been if we only improve that stat we will challenge for CL next season!

All the rumours that we've lost out on this person etc.? A journalist tells you that player A is a target and then tells you that player A isn't interested anymore – you don't need to be a rocket scientist to work that out, do you?

Let's just wait (at least until the fecking transfer window is open) and see who we sign, sell – and SUPPORT them!

So basically ed's no one actually knows if Sigurdsson is going to Liverpool or Spurs.

He might go to LFC, He might go to spurs, he might go to swansea

Who knows


 

 

26 Jun 2012 10:43:43
Hi Ed's, looks like Liverpool's missing out on Sigurdsson. But do you think there's chance that they go for Gaston Ramirez, just yes or no please? Great site /Jocke {Ed002's Note - The Editors are not going to be led in to answering questions where you demand a yes or no answer.}

26 Jun 2012 10:41:13
Do the people complaining about our supposed lack of transfer activity really know how transfers work?
Yes BR will have a list of targets, yes we may make enquiries or send out scouts or even make an offer but this is just the start of the process.
There may be numerous factors that can occur that will put an end to the process i.e. The club they belong to may not be willing to sell, the player may not be willing to move.
Yes we could go in and make a "big" money offer and there are a lot of people who think we should do this "just to show our intent"......but let me ask you this when was the last time you were going to buy somthing priced at £50 and you turned round to the sales person and said " I really want this so I will give you £75"....???
It is easy spending other peoples money but different when it come to your own, FSG are running our club like a business and although people might like this idea, its the only way to survive in the modern era.
We will make purchases we will sell players but like all good business deals its done behind closed doors.
Jim22


What running a clnb like a business is not the only way to survive in this era in fact running a club like a business is more likely to put the club into financial melt down.

We need a sugar Daddy Sheik or Oligarch it doe not matter


And what happens when that "sugar Daddy Sheik or Oligarch" gets bored with their new toy???
Jim 22


Roman has been enscounced @ cheldsea for 10 years now

No signs of being tired with his "toy".

And the Man city Sheik is planning a fantastic future for City with or without him.

The sheiks net to find future stars, his investment in youth coaching, practice pitches etc. is the brightest in the EPL

Sugar Daddies are not all bad you now Jim
you need to brighten your horizon and cast you gaze a bit further.

BTW I did you reply to my rant yesterday the one where you suggested I need some Farleys and a sleep it made me laugh, good one.

26 Jun 2012 10:35:11
are reporting that gylfi had changed his mind on joining Liverpool and will now join the spurs. I hope it's not true because he would have been a class addition.

Have any of the eds got anymore news on this? {Ed002's Note - RTFP.}


 

 

26 Jun 2012 10:29:13
I think Sigurdsson will eventually join us but lets be honest, if he really is a United fan then we can't blame him for not coming to Liverpool. If i was a pro footballer no amount of money would make me wanna play for United.

Harty.


If I was offered 50k a week to scrape the mud out of rooneys boots, clean rios jockstrap, put makeup on the purple nose then I would go and do it.
I am sure my support of LFC would be well blinded by all that money.
I am sure most players would be the same.

Don't mean to sound cynical or is anyone else worried with the lack of activity in the Market? Or am I just being impatient. Don't normally post but I'm lack a school kid when it comes to potential transfers. Hope to see some business in the coming weeks fellow reds.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 10:22:48
Surely if we want Sig we will get him right? We have the money to sign him, and the pull of working with Rodgers again - if he doesn't come to us surely it must be because LFC have lost interest? What have spurs got that we haven't? Both have EL, spurs haven't won anything for donkeys, they're not in a superb financial state, they have a couple places in the league table on us, he's hardly gonna pick them over us! Why do people have to b*tch that were moving too slowly, maybe someone better is round the corner? Last summer KD may not have made excellent choices, but he got most of his targets. If we want Sig we'll get him


Who knows for sure that this Sig Guy likes BR, he may bleedin hate him for all we know

From where does this rumour started,about sigurdsson moving to spurs..Anyways its spreading like fire in the forest.Any truth in this? Atleast did they bid for him..? Whats our negotiators have been doing there..?


 

 

26 Jun 2012 10:19:11
Gyfi Siggurdsson To Tottenham done.

Liverpool too slow to do their business yet again.

we are so inept in the transfer market.


We are no longer a club which can attract decent players. The league table never lies.


The transfer window isnt open yet, be patient


So we have been after him since BR has taken over but that's too slow, right


Take a rest and breath deep son. The transfer market isn't open yet.

Gylfi to Liverpool is still on.
Liverpool yet to agree a fee with Hoff but I would think it is just a matter of time. Pretty well informed in terms of German transfers. Heard about Ozil, Khedira, Podolski and Sahin before they were announced.
All done by July 10

26 Jun 2012 10:11:31
Eds please post this as its annoyin people sayin that sigurdsson is joining spurs and I know spurs are pushing but I still believe he will join us and what's ur opinion who do u fink he will join


 

 

26 Jun 2012 10:11:18
It is about time for LFC fans to realise that the club cannot buy any players that we are linked with, SIGG will sign, we need to be patient, also rather than buying we need to give the reserve players a chance, suso, Stirling, Coady, Robinson and Flanagan are ready for first team and we need to give them the opportunity. In my opinion we only need one or two new signing this year. SIGG and Ramirez will be perfect.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 10:07:22
Hi eds, please tell me whether we've lost out on Sigurdsson to Spurs or not. Please, say those rumours are false. Why do Spurs need Sig? We can give them Carroll. We don't need a worthless player like him. Please, eds, please say whether Sig will join us or not.

SUMON VAI {Ed002's Note - Please, just read the other posts.}


Give them Adam and Spearing both if needed, but why are you so negative about Carroll? You don't have one good thing to say about him and continue to slate him in your posts.
This is a Liverpool banter forum which you
may have mistaken for ihateandycarroll.co.uk.

Where is macca and the Eds, who claim to be in the know or at the very least carry on as if they are in the know, to tell us all now what exactly is the story with sig ??

All the Eds are doing is giving their opinion on these matters and dont give anything definite while Macca hasn't said anything!

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea which Editor you are referring to but I have been making an effort to find out what I can and have posted it. Seeing posts like yours makes me wonder why I bother.}


Take no notice Ed, mate. Some people will never appreciate the time and effort you guys put into this site, but a lot of us do!

Although it must get disheartening and damn right frustrating reading some of the mindless drivel that you have to!

Do not add any Liverpool player until a new manager will see that game as the current group of players. After several friendly matches and after a complete review of current roster of players, may be BR determined to purchase 1 or 2 players. Sigurdsson is another story, Rodgers knew him, maybe he will be a unique reinforcement before August
THINK! Do not believe anything in the newspapers.

26 Jun 2012 09:52:52
Hi all, just wanted to make an observation. When it was first announced that we wanted gylfi, everyone was moaning about how he's not good enough. Now that tere are doubts as to whether he's coming or not, everyone is acting like he was going to win us the title and lead us on a 60-match win streak. Get real. One player isn't going to make or break the club.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:49:16
To all LFC fans who are obsessed with the Sigurdsson saga. just want to tell you that he was never a prime target for LFC because we already have Gerard, Shelvey, Hendo, Aquillani and Adam for this post. Our prime target is a good right winger (adam Johnson/Krasic) and a prolific goalscorer (Rondon/Huntelaar/Cavani). {Ed002's Note - You may need to save up a bit to attract Cavani to Liverpool.}


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:45:08
Sigg is a huge Man Utd fan, might that have something to do with his refusal to join Liverpool?


Think its got a bit more to do with cash!


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:39:39
Can people please calm down. There is no way sig would want to join any other club apart from Liverpool. Cry all you want, but for goodness sake it's so obvious he wants nothing but to reunite with a manager that has faith in him! So that's means spuds will NOT get sig, I repeat, will NOT. Wow the 1percenters annoy me...

26 Jun 2012 09:37:32
y r people so obsessed with sigurdsson..if he doesnt want to come to liverpool...f*** him..he is not world class in my opinion..we can get far better players than him


The problem is we can't expect any better


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:37:18
Hi Ed's! Why are we always affraid to make the first steps to sign good quality player? Just look at what chelsea, man utd and arsenal have done with kagawa, marin, podolski, giroud and some others as well. Now spurs have made a bid for Sig without a manager. How can we loose a player to a club with no manager.

I am always optimistc when it comes to Liverpool chances at top 4 and playing in the CL.

Has Liverpool any first priority at signings and if so who?

Hope for respons. Nick norwegian supporter


One of two things mate.

1. either Liverpool have bigger fish to catch this window

or

2. we have become a smaller club


Its 2 sadly


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:35:36
If Sig signs for spurs then he was wrong player for us! Its simple lets all stop talking of missed targets if they can get their heads turned now then we dont want them. Elm would be a great signing if we need to fill that position and i wouldnt write Hendo off as he is a genuine talent. Winger in my opinion is priority, BR linked us with Sig because Sig was available not because he is BR's primary target lets be realistic. Krasic would be excellent so hope thats a real link. Striker would be needed as back up/ competition for the front 2. Lets not read too much into the Sig affair. If he comes in great, if he goes spurs fine! Lets not over react. I think Elm would suit the prem and would be similar money. The kid likes a shot at goal too


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:29:19
Question. How many manc players have left and been successful. DB and ronaldo are the only ones I can think of. I know it's not Liverpool related but the doom and gloom about siggi today is doing my head in. Anyway the reason for the question. All of the manc players were crap at the euros and the players that leave are average so my thinking is 80-90% of manc success is down to fergie so when he does finally leave maybe it will be there turn to drop out of top 4. Good times ahead.


Gerrard Pique and Deigo Forlan (he did better as in played better) are two others.

Jolly Red


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:25:58
Question to the eds
i beleive it drives you mad with all the questions you get regarding this and that player. to save all this why dont you just give a report on what you see happening at liverpool fc. this to me would solve a lot of headake {Ed002's Note - Nothing seems to make the readers read other posts. It is simply more work for no benefit.}


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:24:24
Could Rodgers dropping interest in Sigurdsson means he's going after someone else who has suddenly become available, maybe A. Schurrle or J. Rodriguez? Singred


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:20:20
This just reminds me of last year and sylvain marveux and look how he ended up! Whoever BR wants he will go all out to get them an in a recent interview he said 'people will know once a player has signed for us' all the signings are kept underwraps and that's why the media are making up target after target. They themselves are just guessing. BR is going to try and get the very best players he thinks will fit Liverpool i for one hope all our deals are done like the meireles one.
SB96


Sylvain marveux turned us down, for the same reason siggurdson will, another team offers a better deal. we are serial hagglers, it makes us look cheap {Ed002's Note - That is not correct. A deal was in place with Sylvain but Liverpool reduced the offer to one that was unacceptable.}


So ed its basically the same thing this guy has just said said, liverpool offered less. RedTurk {Ed002's Note - No. Liverpool was turned down because they reduced their offer from what was agreed. It really is not that tough to understand.}


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:11:29
FSG are a joke. If Sig goes to spurs and de jong signs for newcastle they do not have a clue. They should change their name to NFM No f**king money.Never spent a penny in Jan when we really needed a forward what a complete joke. Now all our targets are signing for other clubs. Most of the money they spent came from the torres sale. If they could not afford to buy players or build a new ground why did they buy the club.We will only sign players once they sold our best ones typical U.S businessmen only out to make a quick buck. If they think they will ever get to the top 4 again without spending money then they are deluded. They can f off as far as im concerned. The way they treated Kenny was a joke not shaking hands afterFA cup final made Henry just as bad as the previous owners in my eyes.


Absolutely pathetic. No fsg no liverpool !

GET REAL


You're a joke. Grow up an look at the bigger picture fhs. {Ed002's Note -


I see you blame FSG when its been clear for a long time now that they dont sign the players, if the manager decided what player he wants, FSG provide the money, they gave kenny plenty and commolli wasted it, you need to quit flappin your gums out of frustration and find the facts first mate, cuz otherwise you just sound like a total tit


I don't know why I'm giving you the time of day, but mate, are you for real? I don't know how you can say the owners haven't spent and they haven't got a clue etc. I'm not the most clued up individual on how football clubs are run but I know that Liverpool FC have made a heavy loss in the last few seasons (as ed002 has tried to explained to many trolls)

How do you know the players we're 'missing out on' are actual targets? If you believe all the mainstream media I genuinely feel sorry for you.

I'm sure FSG will make the right decision regarding a stadium, playing staff and our football club.

They just need supporters to show something that they haven't in a very long time: patience.

Curtiss


Quite agree, our owners are a disgrace. not interested!


The owners are a disgrace!? After saving us from administration and giving the fans what they wanted in Kenny being back? It's ungrateful fans like you that are the disgrace, spoilt little brats who'd rather we spend billions and get liquidated for a trophy or two instead of looking for the long term survival of the club. Seriously, just go away and leave the people with a bit of perspective to support the club, the manager and the owners in peace.


They saved us from administration?they bought us for 300mil.all they want is to brake even and balance the books.we will expend anfield and in 6 years pay that loan back.then they could sell us for 700mil.thats the only reason they bought us.
berlusconi (milan)
moratti(inter)
angeli(juve)
those owners love their club since they were kids,our owners never knew what anfield was untill 3 years ago.
thats what we all need to see.


The price they paid is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is, we were deep in the brown stuff and they chucked us a rope. You could all moan about them now, but imagine if they hadn't bought from H and G. Then what? We'd be fuzzled. They've done alot for the club, don't go mental because you haven't seen all the players you bought on FM coming in.


Price is always relevant,there was a chance to make money for them.i am from malta and if i had 300mil i fly to every home game.they dont other priorities.abramovich morrati angeli ect ect attend their games.

Absolutely pathetic. No fsg no liverpool !

26 Jun 2012 09:09:34
In my opinion, I think that Liverpool are definatley interested in Sigurdson however I think if they really really wanted him that they would push the boat out and he would choose us. I mean he cancelled his move to Swansea over BR becoming Liverpool manager so would only make sense that he would want to work with him again at Liverpool, I think Spurs are probably offering him more money that we are prepared to (not that we cant afford to) and we are just refusing to be held to randsom over wages etc.


I agree mate. Siggurdson would have been a good buy at 7-8 mill on 30-40k a week. But if he wants to go to Spurs for the money especially after BR resurrecting his career. It just shows again in todays modern game. That loyalty has no meaning and money talks.

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96 {Ed002's Note - Perhaps give the kid a break and if he does go elsewhere then it is because a fee could not be agreed with Hoffenheim?}


Didn't you say in an earlier post Ed mate that Hoffenheim couldn't force a player to go anywhere he dosnt want to. He really wanted to come to us, he wouldve agreed to go to us after BR took over. Or he can hand in a transfer request to force through a move to LFC.

You know more than I do. Player power is at its strongest in todays game.

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96 {Ed002's Note - He cannot be forced to sign for a club that he does not wish to join. This is a simple transfer of a player. In order for it to go ahead, it is then necessary for any interested club to approach the player's club to ask if they would be willing to sell and if they would grant permission to speak to a player's agent and possibly even the player. This will typically involve either broadly (through an offer) or actually agreeing a fee and responsibility for any significant costs (agents fees etc.). Once this has happened the club will be able to speak to the player's agent and perhaps the player himself to look at the package that will be involved. So many players are looked at and discussed at a high-level with agents and clubs; a subset of those have an offer placed; a subset of those involve discussions with the player's club; a subset of those involve discussions over terms, and; a subset of those go ahead.

If a fee cannot be agreed between the clubs there will be an impasse and it ends there if an agreement cannot be negotiated.}


So Ed. Are you saying that we have never spoke to Sig or his representatives. Because we havnt agreed a fee with Hoffenheim?

Thanks

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96 {Ed002's Note - No, I am well aware that Rodgers had spoken to Sigurdsson at least once but it would not have been a discussion involving any details of the package being offered. As to whether or not the club has spoken with his representatives regarding a deal for the player, I don't know the details but certainly his agent has permission to discuss the player with other clubs - and this would involve the financial package for the player. I think it is pretty safe to assume this has happened with Liverpool. In addition to this, Hoffenheim has had a commercial agent in London for couple of days or so but I do not know whether or not he has spoken with Spurs - but the implication is he did yesterday. Certainly he has had some dealings to discuss with another club in London and he also had to finalise a deal for an out of contract player to go on a pre-season trial at Hoffenheim. That is the latest I have this morning.}


Thanks Ed002. I don't mean to bug you with my questions. I'm just trying to understand the situation better and you have done that for me.

Thanks

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96

Ps. Any updates on Gaston Ramirez?


Blairs bang on money talks.Fans need to get real.Constraints are on LFC financially-less match day Revenue,No Champs Leauge,Owners who mean well but cant compete financially-top end=inferior players


 

 

26 Jun 2012 09:03:18
I think it's mostly paper talk anyway, besides the fact that he aint the only player out there but if I was a player at the moment I really wouldn't pick Tottenham over Liverpool. I think Spurs are on the brink of a small fall back down the table and if anything we'll be by-passing them up the table.


Ha thats wishful thinking matey , there`s rumblings of something big maybe happening at my beloved THFC !

Much love

I think that if spurs sign Sigurðsson for 10 mill as reported, that can only mean that BR thinks he is not worth a higher bid.


Good point

26 Jun 2012 08:30:20
so spurs are getting sig what the hell are Liverpool up to every1 just about we r linked with are getting bought by other clubs pull your finger out B.R. and the board and start getting some players


I tottally agree for a few season s now anyone with a good price tag is going elsewhere Newcastle united spurs the list goes on.
Liverpool have to pay top dollar and it seems get nobodies things must change.


 

 

26 jun 2012 08:22:16
what is with people on here. they panic like theres no tomorrow.

a) if we lose out on sigurdsson, he will be replaced with another target

and more importantly

b) the only thing confirmed is spurs have strong interest in sigurdsson and are pushing hard for him.

we also have strong interest and are pushing hard for him.

he has not agreed terms with spurs or we would have heard already. we always know the spurs signings before they sign.

get a grip. this is getting ridiculous.

i can only think these are non-liverpool fans. if they are liverpool fans then i respect the opinion but i think you are panicing for no reason.

best regards,
davey sulls


Davey, unfortunately it does appear that Siggurdson has agreed a deal with Spurs.

If its true, Im dissapointed but not suicidal

Tel 1949


That is the reports coming out of Germany its a real kick in the pants to be beaten by managerless Spurs.
Seems unless Liverpool pay overs they cant seem to get quality talent at a reasonable price.


If he doesn't want to play for Liverpool - what have we lost - glad we found that out now - before we wasted more money -


 

 

26 Jun 2012 08:19:24
why haven't we bid for gylfi yet?


Sorry mate, but how in the world would you know whether we've bid for him or not?


 

 

26 Jun 2012 08:18:08
Really doesn't make sense that Spurs would make a better offer than us for Sigg, Levy is the stingiest man in football. I'm not saying it isn't true because too many people are reporting it but it does make me think that we can't have rated him that highly in the first place to have let something so nailed on to slip through. Therefore we have to trust the manager and hope he knows what he's doing.
Jud.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 08:16:08
stop with all this Gylfi talk!....IF he goes to Spurs and not here is he any great loss....I didnt see any of our fans raving about him last season when we were complaining about transfers, its seems last year our hopes and targets were set much higher.......
He'd be a squad player at best and i for one would hope now hes at a club like LFC that Mr Rodgers might have bigger fish to catch than Gylfi.........
This transfer window, especially being one where the manager is in his first season and usually gets at least a semblance of a war chest is going to prove whether we have the funds to compete or not,
Ive been one of the first to say leave the owners alone after getting us in a better financial position but i cant help thinking weve gone from everything behind closed doors the LFC way to cloak and dagger....
Some news on the stadium front without any spin would help, and surely we have a better qualified man to put over the merits of the club than Mr Ayre........he dosnt come across well to me......we had this with Parry,
Some info on the stadium and the manager doing some decent business would brighten up every fans hopes for the coming season.....I fear the outbursts and impatience for Mr Rodgers if not..........

Sigurdsson is actually a very good player!


 

 

26 Jun 2012 08:16:01
Ed do you still think Sigurdsson will join us instead of Spurs? {Ed002's Note - As I said, I would expect him to join one or the other. Liverpool have the advantage of Rodgers but still need to offer a deal that suits the player and his club. If they cannot agree a transfer fee then Hoffenheim will look elsewhere.}


 

 

26 Jun 2012 08:05:58
Hi ed n fellow red,sigg is going not going to spur.he will lfc first signing,n hope we might get ramirez as he quality player,nor utd or city are rushing for him,hope lfc prefer ryad boudebouz over milo krasic.n a quality striker will be perfect summer,suso n sterling to be promoted,suso will be star player in coming year.arsh-redindianforever


 

 

26 Jun 2012 02:12:50
Not being negative but if you take our strongest 1-11 as we've got at the club now(most probably predict at least 9 of those)Brendans got his work cut out to be 8th,never mind threaten Top 4.So what would fellow Reds deem as Leauge progress for us next Season?


To many numbers in that post for my liking!

Myk


Reina, Johnno, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Suarez, Carroll and Downing.

On our day, with a nicer style of play, we'd beat almost every club on earth with that, it might not look like much, but if you have a clue at all you'd know; Possibly the best centre half pairing in the PL last season. Two england internationals in the midfield with a dead-set gem of a Brazilian at the base of those two. Then Suarez linking up with 4 England internationals! WOW, England performed terribly at the Euros, is what you'll say next, but i hardly think that was the fault of our players. Then we can bring on Bellers, who can score a goal against absolutely any team on the planet. This seems like one of those cases where people say we have a poor squad, but if we come 8th, they'll blame the manager! pick one! In all honesty, we have a very strong squad. With a few additions, we can be very VERY competetive.

I predict 5th or 6th, but in no way will that be a bad result!

Red7.


Cant see why anyone can disagree as squad wasnt good enough last season.How is this gona be better,when others making moves to improve and were so far behind a lot revenue wise.The catch up is huge in terms of gap quality wise in squad


 

 

26 Jun 2012 01:54:08
i just find it funny. that when eds always said that if there is no manager, means that transfer will not take place. but now spurs has no manager. but now eds say its irrelevant about the absent of manager regarding about transfer. transfer will take place regardless of manager or not. ha haha.

{Ed002's Note - About time you manned up to this and stop your persistant digging at me. They were different clubs and different circumstances so I gave different answers. So in continuing your evaluation of the matter, was I correct on both counts or not?}


Spurs have Levy to sign the players without a manager, is it really that hard to understand?

KT!


Also, whether the Eds say so or not, these clubs will continue to go on doing business as they see fit. I find it strange that you feel it's ok to imply that the Eds somehow have something to answer for in situations like this.

Red7.


Most clubs yes, but im pretty sure the eds said spurs is a different case, and VDV was an example of it. if u take time to read then ud understand better.

Sigg is being underrated by lfc fans. he is a gem of a player and young. do we really all expect a player to come and be brilliant the second they touch the pitch!? give the players like sig adam carroll and hendo a chance! we gave traore a couple of seasons and look how that turned out. and dont forget spearing he can barely hit a ball and he is still around but we aint moaning about him


 

 

26 Jun 2012 00:57:55
OUT:
C.Adam - 5 million
C.Bellamy(Cardiff) - 2 million
J.Spearing - 3 million
A.Aquilani - 3 million
D.Kuyt - 1 million

IN:
G.Sigurdson - 7 million - first team proven player on the cheap. allows the sale of Adam who has been poor.
M.Krasic/E.Elia - 7 million - pacy, tricky winger who comes on the cheap due to juventus wanting to sell.
L.Traore - 8 million - a powerful young forward sinilar to Carroll with great strength a fantastic option.
V.Wanyama - 6 million - young cover for cdm and cb with lots of potential to be world class.
M.Niang - 4 million - the best young striker around, played in the first team for caen last year at 16, cheap due to their relegation, would be a fantastic addition for present and future.

Squad:
GK - Reina/Doni/Jones
RB - Johnson/Kelly/Flanagan
RCB - Skrtel/Carragher/Wisdom
LCB - Agger/Coates/Wilson
LB - Enrique/Robinson
LM - Downing/Maxi/Sterling
CDM - Lucas/Wanyama/Coady
CAM - Gerrard/Sigurdson/Shelvey/Cole
RM - (Krasic or Elia)/Henderson/T.Silva
CF - Suarez/Niang/Suso
ST - Carroll/Traore/Morgan

Squad which can challenge all trophies only 20 million invested for a very young promising team. Only 5 players bought too.
{Ed002's Note -


I can guarentee that we won't be playing 4-4-2 next season.


Think 3 up front there lad. The reason we're going for more central midifielders is that there will be 3 of them playing every week.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 06:39:42
Porto's Rodriguez makes clear to Fergie: I want Man Utd move.

We'r out of the running, if we ever were.


I strongly doubt we were looking into a move. Isn't there a 40m buyout? or something in that region? seems a bit steep for somebody still so inexperienced


That deal to Man Utd has been on the cards for 2 years.


 

 

26 Jun 2012 06:23:17
Eds,
1) Heard that Sigurdsson deal really close to complete despite Spurs intereset. Any info it can be done this week?
2)Read somewhere that LFC really want to bid MU for James Rodriguez and willing to offer up to 30M. ANy truth? Watching him playing with Suarez at Messi's charity game, quite a good player.

Hope ur answer will cheer lfc fans.

Thanx.

I dont see why people are getting on there high horse about siggy, all the time he was at Swansea we never had a chance of signing him and just because we now have Brendan Rodgers as manager doesnt mean squat that we would get him to come to Liverpool. Without Rodgers looking at Adam, Lucas, Cole, Aqua, Spearing and Gerrard yet in training there is no garantee of 1st team football at Liverpoool anyway... Those listed players witout Suso, Sterling and Shelvey having a big push for 1st team football next season.
If he does choose managerless Spurs for more money it will show us anyway hes greedy and not worthy of the Liverpool shirt.

I know everyone thought he would come to us as he would follow Rodgers, but has there actually been any 100% proof that we were interested? I know it was a logical conclusion to come to that he would join us but logic and football are often miles apart.

I would think this definitely implies the end to Modrics spurs career as they have probably signed Sigurdsson to replace him. If it is the case that we were interested and he chose 'them over us' (i know it is never that simple and i hate that phrase so sorry for using it) then i suppose he probably went to spurs because they could offer him more guaranteed football. With Gerrard, Lucas, Adam, Spearing, Shelvey, Henderson + youth we are crowded in CM already.

If Sigurdsson does sign for spurs, and i know this is asking for a small miracle, but please please please please please lets not have this great site in-undated with posts complaining that "why have we let another signing slip away" or "the owners arent willing to spend".

FSG have steadied our great club, we have a very young and promising squad and potentially even better youth players still to come through. No doubt Rodgers will make a few quality signings and our new team will improve, gel and mature from last year. Lets trust in Rodgers and in a season or two we will be back where we belong, challenging for the League and those glorious anfield champions league nights!

The difference being that Rodgers has actually spoke of Sigurdsson.


Sigurdsson can also play on the left and cut in, he's good on the ball and will play that Iniesta type role if need be.

if gylfi does not realy want to come to us. then do we want a player who does not want to play for the red shirt , i dont want any players who only come to us for the money , BR took this player from the bench of hoffenheim and got him well known to a lot of clubs , if this is how he wants to repay BR like this then good riddence , im sure theres other players out there who is just as good , if not better maybe we should go in for the player who kept gylfi on the bench ,,,mickey b ,

p.s. i know he's on holiday but his agent is not and a word to the press via his agent would let us all know the score and then we could move on and go for someone else or relax and welcome him to our club

Only a rumour, but apparently city are looking to Agger now. Please be false


If they want him - £35 million, thats what Milan wanted for Silva. {Ed002's Note - His price will have nothing to do with Milan or Silva.}
