The cunning fox has snared the doe eyed rabbit and as the bald fruit rots on the moist earth seeds penetrate the earth and spread jammmmmmm! come on you numptys and 'kop' on for the love of jova, or yawee, or jesus, or whatever! we're playin decent enough ball and we're fightin'. don't give a ball satchel who signs anymore, let's just pass the ball to players in similarly coloured jerseys in the hope of said ball ending up in the opponents goal. and let us hope we can do this more often than our opponents. hmmm? how about it?

Can't believe kk criticism, 2 clean sheets & 2 wins, he is following the late "sir" bob paisleys blueprint. Re our owners get off the back boys, they cleared our debt diverting us away from dangerous & damaging times, give them a chance.

Re getting rid of "deadwood" players without replacing them with panic buys is sensible, we give valuable experience to our young players, surely a better option than keeping and playing the deadwood.

Finally I truly believe with no buys our squad is gud enough 2 Finnish top 6, our spine (pepe, carra, stevie & el nino) amongst the bed in league, n is manure 11 any better than ours, no? I had 2 say it but down 2 their boss, kk can do the same, in kk we trust. Ps lay off j cole give the lad a chance, he us desperate 2 please us.

your living in cukoo land if u believe all that drivel u just spat out, ,

1, the young inexperienced players we have r not expeirenced enough to drag us over the finishing line in top 7 never mind 6th,
2, our squad is definitly not good enough for 6th

3, luis suarez, charlie adam, honda, turan they r not panic buys, they would be great signings, granted we shouldnt be held to ransom on prices but, i think 7 mill plus maybe poulsen or lucas for adam would be good deal, i think 20 mill would be the bid to get suarez and would be a good deal, honda we could get for 15 mill would be a good deal, and turan i reckon 10-15 mill would be a good deal,

im not saying we could get all this month, but a couple of them would be great and help us get top 6

Tomorrow's Times confirms LFC have rejected Chelski's £35M bid for Torres out of hand. They have on-the-record sources confirming this. On another note, one Times journalist has confirmed that it is very difficult to get any info out of LFC at the moment. They have stopped all leaks. Which means most of the rumours on here are questionable at best.

Ed, with the new rule's coming in that clubs only allowed to spend what they make and owners only allowed a 15 mill top up on transfers ect. do u think that this will put an end to the over inflated price's. Will this make the gap bigger between the top clubs, mid table and bottom. Thanx

{Editor's Note: That's the plan.}

What's to stop a club from well owners to go out and buy 200,000 shirts? Going to be tough to exercise I think Ed. You will see club with massive rises in merchindise. If I owned LFC I would buy all shirts and donate or sell them back to club at fraction of price.

{Editor's Note: Right - great plan.}

2. So chelsea bid for torres
3. Liverpool buy aguero (yes please)

First of all, you are not a true Liverpool fan, never under any circumstances would a true Liverpool fan make a sarcastic cynical comment about King Kenny. Shocking. Also learn how to spell AFRAID, and WORSER is not even a word. Stop being so pessimistic, you clearly have no sources which tell you we won't be signing anybody so stop

You could be right on that 1, the times have just reported that chelsea have made a £35m bid for torres today which has been rejected. I wonder if he will try and force this move!

Liverpool to make a offer of £19.5m rising to £24m for Luis Suarez this offer will be made before saturday.
Liverpool will also make a last ditch attempt to Lure Charlie adam to Liverpool with a £8m bid and that will be closest of getting to Holloways £16m valuation.

I think the suarez deal will go through myself, i think liverpool and ajax r playing mind games against one another, liverpool offer 12.75 mill, knowing its not good but they go for it anyway,
ajax r peed off and decide to tell lfc they want 25-30 mill, liverpool stall for a few days and then decide to bid watever the last bid was and its rejected,
both teams know there is still a couple of days till saturday,
i expect lfc will make a bid 2day of around 18 mill plus add ons but i think ajax will reject,
and then i expect lfc to make one last push at 20-22 million and ajax will accept, knowing if they don't they r stuck with a player who will not have his heart in playing for them and that will affect his performance on the pitch and then summer they will probably lose him for less i reckon a deal will be made saturday night and announced sunday

SSN saying bid from Chelsea for Torres rejected.
Any idea how much was offered?
We gotta be careful here.
Torres is starting to find form again but if the offer is £50m plus we have to seriously consider it.
I'd have taken £35m up until two weeks ago.
What do you fans think & ed?
Bel - Sell if price is good
Unbel - Don't sell no matter what
Any opinions?

There is that LFC have conducted themselves poorly in the pusuit of Charlie Adam , if i'm correct Ian Holloway has said more about 'Adam for LFC' in the media than Kenny Dalglish and Damien Comolli have said .

Kenny Dalglish has specifically said 'if we have something to say about transfers we will say it in the right way' .

Ajax have reported a great deal of information regarding the proposed sale of Luis Suarez where LFC have not spoken to the media about the deal .

Seems odd for criticism to be lodged against LFC .

Understandably 'Pool won against Fulham, but we were outplayed most of the 2nd half and at the end of the 1st half!
No transfers in and 1 Out and a player who's not played (Jovanovic) and looks worse than Babel on the ball at times doesn't want to leave and he's not even worth 1 min on the pitch! I don't really care what others say, because I continuously see Jonjo Shelvey on the pitch and there is a lack of respect for Dani Pacheco (better than Jonjo by a mile! !) and not getting any playing time! I'm born a Red's fan as I grew up in Wirral, but it's getting sick when Cole (who can make an impact), Pacheco (has guile), Wilson (we are wasting his talent! !), are barely getting a snuff of time! !. .At the end of the day, we all can be upset with H&G, but I watch Adebayor (a player who many of you say not good enough :s ) joining Madrid (because he CAN PLAY, probably better than 95% of our players! !) and we at Liverpool FC still waiting for at least 1 player with world class skill that can make an impact! Comolli is a clown and as Holloway says, he heard a lot of "hmmms" and "ahhhs" and nothing more! If "we have money" which I believe it's 10 million quid!, then we are looking to sell to buy, which is another thing we aint doing! Everyone says be patient, but aren't we waiting for a League title for over 20 years! !. .I laugh at this "patient" comment! Why don't the management see that we are a few (4-5) players away from being Champions! With no movement and less than convincing performance, I and many LFC fans world wide are constantly living with this gripe in our stomach's! I give up and will stop stressing about LFC all times throughout the day! let's all put our focus in our careers, jobs and other things and let's continue to wait for another trophy, whenever that may be! !

To be honest im amazed at the level of negativity and detractors posting on this site. All indications from NESV is that they are willing to spend money, Warner saying they were looking to increase the wage bill etc. But after the way the Meireles deal was done in the summer it is clear that they like to keep a very low profile with regards negotiations with clubs. Also Kenny is the master of giving nothing away with regards transfer activities, that's why so much of what is reported in the paper is nonsense, its lazy reporters making up headlines. I think everyone knows we need new players in for a number of positions that will provide real quality on the pitch but to pay ridiculously over the odds for players especially the likes of adam and suarez that are definite risks is stupid. This season is very much a write off, but under Kenny we've seen much better team performances from the players we have so even if no one is signed I still think we can push towards 5th or 6th which in retrospect of the season so far would be quite an achievement. We will bring in players its not a case of unwillingness to spend its unwillingness to spend over the odds which is how the club should be run.
Also its amazing that in all the months running up to January there were so many posts on this site wanting Roy to give the youngsters a chance but yet we lose a very average squad player like Babel who rarely started games and then the rumours of jovanovic, konchesky and poulsen possibly leaving that if we don't replace them our season will be ruined. All ill say is Kelly doesn't look like losing his place at right back so johnson and aurelio will be fighting for the left back position. We also have Mavinga there. We have spearing and Shelvey in centre midfield. Pacheco and Suso I have no doubt can match any performace that Babel or Jovanovic have ever given for us.

Think Suarez will be a quality signing to play up top with Torres but Charlie Adam is just an average player in my opinion who isn't good enough to wear the red shirt of LFC, why not break there back for turan, an amazing player who is available fir the right money and a Liverpool fan to boot, come on nesv we need quality players to compete in the pl. You done at the red sox so why not with the reds ?

Villa, however, are understood to be looking for a loan fee in excess of £500,000 as well as stipulating that the left-back's wages are covered in full. Liverpool have made it clear they would not be willing to meet those demands.

I think that this window will go two ways either we sign no one and keep shipping out the dead wood, jovanovic take the hint, or in the next couple of days a tump load of money may be spent. Hopefully the latter, and not borrowed against the club but out of John henrys very deep pockets. We seem to be getting rid of a lot of left sided players so I would expect to see something happen there. Contraeo would be super smashing great! And not one but two new strikers are needed in my opinion. I would like to see a new defensive midfielder in aswell because poulsen is awful, he runs like he is in quicksand, and Lucas try as he might is. . . . . .s**ep for the want of a better word.

Gentlemen! patience is the key, i think liverpool are playing the suarez situation perfectley. Undoubtedly he will be an amazing attacking asset but 25 million or whatever de boer is demamnding is ludicrous. If we stay quiet and let suarez moan his way into a move then i think we could grab him for 15-17 mill and that folks would be a steal. .
Think we may throw a sneaky matuidi bid in if adams doesn't happen by saturday

{Editor's Note: Sadly it is not that simple. The money to be made available by NESV will largely come in the first instance from money generated by the club, which needs to be self-sufficient as we all know. What I imagine Tom Werner was referring to was that monies generated by the club (such as through the sale of a player) could be used for transfers (obviously if agreed on a case-by-case basis as I have already explained). I think if you are expecting NESV to throw enormous sums of their own money in to transfers, you will have a bit of a long wait until that happens. I do however have no doubts that they will provided financing themselves as necessary - but will not want to pay over the odds.}

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

I take the point Ed but surely If NESV want to back up their acquisition 'mission statement' (getting Liverpool back to winning and being one of the top clubs in Europe) they must have surely realised, as part of their due dilligence, that quality comes at a price and generally speaking that market seems to be north of £15 mill in most positions. Its clear to all us fans that we need a quality centre half, two wingers, a left back and a striker. This is a starting point to get back to competing for top four finish. Gone are the days of replacing an aging quality player with like for like quality. A comprehensive overhaul is required here and unless that's done we could be years away from challenging and our slim crop of quality i.e Torres and Gerrard are no spring chickens just now.

As I stated in my previous post earlier tonight, Liverpool have agreed a fee with Wolfsburg for Milan Jovanovic to join the German's but he is reluctant to leave Liverpool and now Sky Sports are reporting it. Despite the news he's turned down a move, talks will continue and in a bid to persuade him to move, with them offering first team football as he is not in Dalglish's plans.

Its also ludricous to think that success yields profit, i.e Chelsea. You are correct in saying that NESV bought into us to make money and considering a typical capitalisng yield of circa 10% being attractive to any investor in this economoic climate, NESV have a very nice income stream from the £300 mill they paid for that privilage. They would get the same revenue streams if we were in the championship as Liverpool fans in the main are loyal and true. Werner says NESV are well capitalised, what he actually means is finance is readily availbale from some of the muckers involved in the NESV conglomerate. These boys will want a hefty return on any loan, so why would the principle investors compromise healthy revenue streams on a gamble at the upper end of the market. NESV have their 'unearth a little gem' business model and 'pick pocket' other clubs after scrutinising their accounts tatic and in no doubt this model will take us through the next 5 years. If it doesn't work, no doubt the economic climate will be more favourable at that time and NESV can sell at a profit after enjoying a healthy initial yield on their investment and adopting a very prudent approach to working capital. Kenny's come back to the club on a high and isn't in a position to start beating the drum regarding transfer funds so he's playing the good cop routine just now .Give it 6 months of frustration working with the deadwood we have and I'm quite sure we'll see a different dimension to Kenny when he's still shackled to the acquisition criteria and this thrust for 'value', which clearly isn't get us any quality but just the same old run of the mill standard. I hope I'm wrong!

{Editor's Note: I was agreeing with the Adam point actually. The rest is Blair being menopausal - and I have taken to ignoring that.}

Chelsea also invested heavily to gain that success, just like Man'City. Just like we will have to if we want success. Chelsea wasn't really a good example they like Man.City have "sugar daddy's" who bankroll the whole club. We as a club have to bankroll ourselves, so we need success to compete.

This is all i can reply to you mate apology's if it dosn't make sense. But the only part of your post i understood was your Chelsea example not making a profit.

So what do you think of Charlie Adam?

Liverpool really need to see the bigger picture and stop behaving like paupers. FSG are you ambitious or not. A couple of decent signings will bring confidence in the squad, we may go on a run and move further up the league and then you get more money. Who knows what can happen. Even if we only get Europa league football it still bring extra revenue

Commolli said on french tv a few nights ago, that the 1st question he asked when he took the job was "Will i have to lower the wage bill" The answer NESV gave him was "No just win".

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

If that were the case then surely Commolli would be out their spending like a drunken sailor just like Man City. Its the only way you can obtain immediate success in the modern game.

{Editor's Note: Sadly it is not that simple. The money to be made available by NESV will largely come in the first instance from money generated by the club, which needs to be self-sufficient as we all know. What I imagine Tom Werner was referring to was that monies generated by the club (such as through the sale of a player) could be used for transfers (obviously if agreed on a case-by-case basis as I have already explained). I think if you are expecting NESV to throw enormous sums of their own money in to transfers, you will have a bit of a long wait until that happens. I do however have no doubts that they will provided financing themselves as necessary - but will not want to pay over the odds.}

You are right i do not know who we are going to sign but i have ideas who we are interested in.

I told you that we are interested in Suarez before anything was mentioned in the press.

I also know that Commoli was at the Wigan game the other night watching N Zogbia i believe.

With regards Hodgson, i told you he was leaving before the Utd game.

The info i pass is 100% genuine but i cannot guarantee we will sign these players because circumstances change.

King Kenny07,

Appreciate your comments, however, Macca does not throw rumours aplenty at this site. He never proclaims to know it all, he simply says what he has heardfrom whatever sources he has.

I like to hear ALL rumours, regardless were they come from - being a rumours site and all.

Macca is a good poster who puts what he believes may be case and I like his postings, along with many others.

The Eds are legends, they give personal opinions and add in what they have from their sources. There is never any BS as they say what they think or have heard.

Lets remember this is a rumours site and hope that something happens soon.

Long live the Lion King.

NESV bought us to make money. How do they make their money? Like all buisness's being successful. The only thing that can make us successful again is to invest in the squad. If we know this then they will.

Commolli said on french tv a few nights ago, that the 1st question he asked when he took the job was "Will i have to lower the wage bill" The answer NESV gave him was "No just win".

So to say that NESV are using us for a marketing tool is just ludicrous. Just as ludicrous as us paying more than 7 mill for Charlie Adam.

PS. I'm still failing to see why we are even after Adam?? ?

{Editor's Note: I am with you on that buddy.}


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

Its also ludricous to think that success yields profit, i.e Chelsea. You are correct in saying that NESV bought into us to make money and considering a typical capitalisng yield of circa 10% being attractive to any investor in this economoic climate, NESV have a very nice income stream from the £300 mill they paid for that privilage. They would get the same revenue streams if we were in the championship as Liverpool fans in the main are loyal and true. Werner says NESV are well capitalised, what he actually means is finance is readily availbale from some of the muckers involved in the NESV conglomerate. These boys will want a hefty return on any loan, so why would the principle investors compromise healthy revenue streams on a gamble at the upper end of the market. NESV have their 'unearth a little gem' business model and 'pick pocket' other clubs after scrutinising their accounts tatic and in no doubt this model will take us through the next 5 years. If it doesn't work, no doubt the economic climate will be more favourable at that time and NESV can sell at a profit after enjoying a healthy initial yield on their investment and adopting a very prudent approach to working capital. Kenny's come back to the club on a high and isn't in a position to start beating the drum regarding transfer funds so he's playing the good cop routine just now .Give it 6 months of frustration working with the deadwood we have and I'm quite sure we'll see a different dimension to Kenny when he's still shackled to the acquisition criteria and this thrust for 'value', which clearly isn't get us any quality but just the same old run of the mill standard. I hope I'm wrong!

Because all that was worring me was if he really wanted to come. But it sounds as if he does if the radio stories are true. Do you still think that Ajax will dig their heels in or meet us half way?

Sorry to disappoint, but KK has already stated that it would be difficult to sign anybody this window, which puts doubt on liverpool actually being able to compete in the market at this time.

I think a big name in the summer would be more realistic, as there will be scope to calculate the exact transfer money made from selling players in this window and then realistic offers can be made.

Oh and don't be put off by all the media hype all that followed Torres for months and he signed didn't he! !

lol ur going on the assumption we can attract a big player in summer

That same question was said by fans when Torres was about to sign!

no one was asking can we attract big players when torres signed, we were in a far better place than we r now we were in the champions league, we were doing well, winning titles, now were in europa league and possibly won't be next season, were on the verge of becoming midtable team

I have noticed a flood of folks announcing the reason for Liverpool's current plight is the lack of a player to fill in for Xabi. I for one was a huge fan, but the simple fact is, he is irreplacable.
Him and Masch were years apart in style. A solid, powerfull ball carrier, with the best distance passing I have seen, and a nippy, scurrying, sometimes slightly rough around the edges dynamo, capable of dispossesing the very best. But they had one noticable similarity. They were genuinely HAPPY sitting back, and doing there job, and making it their own.
Lucas has not done that (was never his preferred position), Poulsen has not done that (has not adapted from slow italian game) and Merieles has shown himself to be a diverse and skillfull attacking center midfielder.
Untill we find a player with the skill and desire PLUS the understanding to play afront the defence, Xabi will continue to be missed.
The most likely solution to this problem is to distance ourselves from that style of play whenever possible. Play Gerrard and Merieles side by side. Both tracking back when needed, both plowing forward when wanted. Work defensively so that our centerbacks are not shivering in their boots because they might have to actually deal with an approaching forward. And find a player that can fit the defensive position, but not so that it becomes a habit of playing style.
Lets hope that our playing style, at least when at home, in front of that beautiful noise making collective, begins to show signs of confidence, ability, desire, and most of all, a willingness to slay an opponent, when they are laying down, ready to be finished.

Lets finish them all.

Well done KKexcellent mangement! !"

None of them were required, I for one think that we are better off without at least two of them, and if nobody is signed, the good news is that others, e.g. Pacheco, Robinson, may get a look in.

I would love us to strengthen the squad, but I don't care if nobody gets brought in.The most important thing is that the owners are not being held to ransom. Luis Saurez? Yes please. 25 million? No thanks.

if pacheco was good enough and robinson and so on im sure kk woulda gave them a chance, what if they r not good enough then who have we got as backup if one of first team get injured we need a couple of players now, r team is to thin no depth at all to it

A few weeks ago I wrote that NESV were aiming to achieve a net squad reduction of twenty players by the start of the 2012/ 2013 season. Their two main reasons are firstly to reduce wage costs. Although the club can comfortably afford to pay wages and salaries, they prefer to do this from general cash revenue, e.g. gate receipts; commercial turnover etc. rather than drawing upon lump sum receipts such as sponsorship and TV money. Secondly, they are aware that the 25 man squad limitation will impact upon the number of vacancies available to youngsters progressing through the ranks. As such, only the most outstanding prospects will make it and difficult decisions will need to be made over those 19 and 20 year olds that will be moved on. This is doubly ironic as the rule was introduced to encourage more homegrown youngsters to be brought through and it is at a time when we have an excellent crop of exciting young players. A friend challenged my comments, claiming that the squad was already too thin and it would be impossible to achieve a net squad reduction of this scale. Bearing in mind that we are talking about four transfer windows, including this one, I believe it could happen. Although I don't know who might be shown the door, it is possible to speculate. Beginning with Charles Itanje, we have also lost Ryan Babel, Andras Simon and Jordi Brouwer, whilst Victor Pallson is on the brink of joining Hibs. Beyond that, there is Alberto Aquilani; Phillip Degen; Nabil el Zhar and Nikola Saric as likely departures. That's nine already! And it is not beyond the realms of impossibility that by 2013 we could be saying goodbye to the likes of Paul Konchesky; Christian Poulsen; Stephen Darby; Emiliano Insua; Milan Jovanovic; Jay Spearing; Lucas Leiva; Fabio Aurelio; Sotirios Kyrgiakos; Steve Irwin; Alex Cooper; Maxi Rodriguez; Martin Skrtel; Emanuel Mendy; Tom Ince; Dirk Kuyt; Nathan Eccleston; Nikolaj Kohlert; Gerardo Bruna; Joe Cole and perhaps by 2013 Jamie Carragher. We also have a surplus of goalkeepers and I would expect us to part company with at least two from Brad Jones; Martin Hansen; Peter Gulacsi; Dean Bouzanis and Deale Chamberlain. That's a massive 32 players in all. Although Liverpool will seek replacements for some of these, it is inconceivable that we will continue with a policy of one out - one in! We could bring in 12 top quality players over 4 windows and still achieve the squad reduction mentioned.

It's about time LFC started doing to other clubs what they have been doing to us over the past few years. Offering low sums and playing hardball. Remember Robbie Keane? Spurs fkd us. In fact we've been getting rear-ended both ways. . Johnson? Portsmouth fkd us. Roma fkd us twice, over Riise and Aquilani.

{Editor's Note: Actually Benitez hkd Liverpool over Aquilani - Roma could not even believe the deal that he put on the table. They still laugh about it now and there are a couple of clauses Liverpool still want out of.}

Look what the spuds did in august "You want 16m?" "You can have 8", and vandervaart was on his way. Now, it strikes me that if we had offered 10m for VDV, instead of just complaining about 16m, they (not necessarily he) would have favoured doing business with us. There must have been a Spurs bid on the table, ballsy to offer 50% of the asking fee. either that or Levy knew exactly the position Real found themselves in, and knew exactly the kind of figure they would have to suck on. and like it.

{Editor's Note: You need to understand the circumstances and what happened in Munich. This was never an option for Liverpool.}

LFC are playing poker with Ajax, and we're winning. We're not the ones leaking sums to the press and crying about it. We're not the ones whose star striker is whinging to the press that he doesn't feel motivated to play for Ajax. LFC know we have cash, and we know Ajax need it. So we will play hardball with them, and we will see the whites of their eyes, and guys, I promise you this. If we walk away from this transfer, this will make life a whole lot easier in the summer. If we give in now and pay what they want, we will be fkd in the summer by every portsmouth, roma and spurs-like club in Europe.

So NESV, whatever happens, DO NOT BLINK!


AS for Holloway pantomiming it up and claiming Adam to be worth 12m, we apparently have offered 4m, which is MORE than the guy is worth. And, just as with Ajax, who is doing all the crying in the press? Whose player is getting the hump?

Are we getting anything from LFC? Anything except terse "no comment"'s, and "this player is going nowhere" ?

No, all is silent as the grave. Thanks be to God, a return to normality.

And we've started to play some football, and win some matches. Who'd have thought that eh?

So chins up lads. It's vitally important to remember that twice this year we have been on the brink of an abyss, and twice we have veered back to calmer waters. .we all have FTSD (Fan Trauma Stress Disorder), so whistle a happy tune, we won't get relegated, and we will buy big (for sensible money) in the summer.

BTW, does anyone know what Arsenal's record signing is. . .? they're a half-decent team!

Ed can you please post, this is the 4th time I have asked this question and it hasn't been posted.

{Editor's Note: I have certainly not deleted the post in the past - so here goes.}

Can someone explain something to me.. I didn't think we could loan Konchesky out because his is one of the 10 "Home Grown" Players listed on our books. Same goes for Joe Cole. Ed if we were to loan both of them out wouldn't that require us to bring in 2 other English players 21 and older? I don't hear us linked with any English players

{Editor's Note: You may have misunderstood the rules just a little. The rule is actually the other way around. The club is allowed to declare 25 players over the age of 21 who will play. Of those 25, a maximum of 17 may be non home grown players (i.e. someone, regardless of nationality, did not spend three years playing in England or Wales before the end of the season in which they were 21). As an example, if Liverpool declared a squad of 18 players over 21, at least one would need to meet the home grown criteria; a squad of 20 and at least three would need to meet the home grown criteria, and so on. Hopefully this is clearer now. And this comes from someone to whom "home grown" means something entirely different!}

{Editor Note: False.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
NESV bought us to make money. How do they make their money? Like all buisness's being successful. The only thing that can make us successful again is to invest in the squad. If we know this then they will.

Commolli said on french tv a few nights ago, that the 1st question he asked when he took the job was "Will i have to lower the wage bill" The answer NESV gave him was "No just win".

So to say that NESV are using us for a marketing tool is just ludicrous. Just as ludicrous as us paying more than 7 mill for Charlie Adam.

To anyone out there!

Do you mabye think it's not the price but the wage demands that could jeopardy the Suarez deal?

Adam would not want big sallary, obviously more than at blackpool but significantly lower than other signings from summer.

Babel was a high erarner, gone!
Jova, very high rearner(happy in many ways to see him go)
Cole, also very high earner(sell him for the first bid that comes along)

I think these need to go before we can really start rebuilding.

I think Suarez is the main man, and the dutch club has been leaking it to the press.
Do on the other hand not believe that anyone close to the deal will mention anything after 1.feb. would leave them on very bad terms for the future.
Nobody mentioned anything(from Ajax) about a very low offer for Emanuelson earlier, so. . . I bet they wanna sell and offcourse to the highest price, but they are very realistic so lets wait and see some the weekend.

I bet it's well timed and Kenny written all over. He didn't wanted the players disturbed in the last two matches, cause no new players would have made the squad anyway. So no games this weekand, leaves a lot of time for deals, right ed? Ed?

Greetings from Denmark

{Editor's Note: The transfer fee is the issue. There is also a misunderstanding by many fans about the wages of Jovanovic and Cole. If Jovanovic or Cole leave at least part of the fee will need to be passed on to the player as compensation for his signing on fee that was to be spread over the length of his contract - the reason why the wages appear to be so high.}

With the inflated prices being quoted for charlie adam I think we should just forget about him and go for ever banega, he's out of favour at valencia, would be available for around 10 - 12 million and has much better potential to replace Xabi than adam. Suarez would be a decent buy but the club is right not to be held to ransom over a player that has a bad reputation and is not proven in a top european league. Id much prefer to see llorente coming in but realistically can't see it. I would love to see honda come in as he offers us options in across the midfield and upfront and hopefully some news breaks about that after saturday. I personally wouldn't be surprised though if all the speculation that's in the press is completely wrong and we announce a couple of signings that no one expected like the meireles deal in the summer. Ive a lot of faith in the new owners and agree with their attitude over the high prices quoted, adam and suarez could certainly do a job for us but they are not worth a combined 39 million, one good half season in the premier league and a high scoring rate in holland does not merit the money being quoted.Ask middlesborough how afonso alves got on after breaking dutch scoring records. . just my thoughts on it all, what do you think?

I agree with Macca and I am confident that Luis Suarez will be signed this window. Also, if Arda Turan is available in the summer I will be suprised if we don't make a move for him. Finally, an improved bid for Charlie Adam will be made but NOT £14million though and I have heard that we are intrested in Charles Nzogbia but no bid has been made, yet.

Mr. LiverBirdMacca and Eds is any of this true? Great site!

None of them were required, I for one think that we are better off without at least two of them, and if nobody is signed, the good news is that others, e.g. Pacheco, Robinson, may get a look in.

I would love us to strengthen the squad, but I don't care if nobody gets brought in.The most important thing is that the owners are not being held to ransom. Luis Saurez? Yes please. 25 million? No thanks.

Seems all the talk of players having the power now a days is being proven wrong, look at luis suarez and charlie adam they don't seem to be getting what they want! !"

2 reasons for that; Adam is too big an individual to go on strike and Suarez has been suspended thus couldn't go on strike. The power is still with the players, but as with Masch it depends how petulant they are willing to be. I still wouldn't bet against Suarez forcing a move by making himself worth less to the club to keep, he has a track record of getting his own way (even by attempting to go through the courts).

Sorry to disappoint, but KK has already stated that it would be difficult to sign anybody this window, which puts doubt on liverpool actually being able to compete in the market at this time.

I think a big name in the summer would be more realistic, as there will be scope to calculate the exact transfer money made from selling players in this window and then realistic offers can be made.

Oh and don't be put off by all the media hype all that followed Torres for months and he signed didn't he! !

Some people seem to be turning on the King already! Maybe Kenny's trying to get things back to how they should be by not saying too much. And complaints about getting rid of players. Players who we've all moaned about on here. (wishing he would give the youngsters a chance). if he lets those "deadwood" players go. maybe the youngsters will get their chance! (shelvey's come on in every game so far!)
Why did he bring Aurelio on instead of Cole or Pacheco? Maybe because Fulham were starting to over run us so he needed someone who could defend better than either of those two or could be a bit more dangerous from a free kick if we got one in a decent position in the hope it could take the pressure off!

By playing down transfers he might be trying not to build our hopes too much (knowing its difficult to bring in the right players in January) or keeping business on the quiet like it should be.

Maybe there's still some way to go with the performances, but at least the fight and passion is coming back and I think regardless of if players are signed or not, we will see a steady improvement in the way we play and the results!

Have Faith!

Since torres joined in the summer of 2007 liverpool have failed to (a) find suitable strike partner for him (excluding stevie g, he's a midfielder) and (b) find someone to take the goal scoring burden off him.this is an absolute disgrace .if he got injured long term we would be in serious trouble .Ngog is not up to scratch and is probably only championship standard , kuyt has never been prolific in the prem , admittedly played out of position for most of his lfc career .jovanovic like kuyt not prolific and pacheco will be a creator of goals rather than a goalscorer but will get his fair share.I hope liverpool are not putting all their eggs in one basket in their pursuit of suarez , if the deal does not go ahead by saturday it leaves very little time to get someone else and we may have to go for another cheaper option like we have done so for all of the benitez reign.if we finish in the top5-10 spots we may find it difficult to attract players of very high standard cause of no champs league football . we need to get rid of the deadwood in the squad like babel (done) poulsen, jova , cole , soto + a few more. have coady, pacheco , amoo , suso etc on the bench more often and lets hope alan hansen utters the words "you'll never win anything with kids"

Calm down, people. It's the Man U Ed. I for one am 100% confident we will sign someone.

Remember, it is a fact that the last few days are always by far the busiest. Honda will make his decision within the next two days and the club will bid high if they want him enough, it was always said that all the transfers would be at at the end of the window and I'm still hopeful we'll tie up the Suarez deal - though I'd prefer to spend the £20m+ on Llorente, who is twice the player Suarez is.

I think by the end of the window we will see suarez and Honda join the club. We wouldn't have sold babel and Jovanovic (if he goes) without replacing them. Babel and Jovanovic both played on the left or upfront, so suarez covers upfront and Honda can play anywhere. Us selling players can only mean players coming in.

Evening ed . Why have we let plyers leave and not replace them our squad is small and weak anyway .this could be a big step backwards now

{Editor Note: In my honest opinion, potentially letting an awful football player like Konchesky leave is a step forward. Letting Babel leave isn't a disaster. In my eyes, selling a lazy player with a bad attitude, who can't cross and is so predicable and freeing up a place in the first-team for a good player like Pacheco is a step in the right direction. It was time to stop making excuses for Babel and just accept that he failed.}

Sell the Greek for £1.5 million, sell Skrtel for £7 million, sell Insua for £4.5 million ( if he doesn't get any fatter) & sell Konch for £3 million = £16 million & buy a descent centre half. Promote Ayala which means we have 4/ 5 centre halves. Play Mavinga at left back & Aurelio as back up.

Sell Poulsen for £3 million & Spearing for £2.5 million, Babel sold for £6 million & sell Jovanovic for £4.5 million & the show pony Aqualaini for £13.5 million, sell Kuyt for £6 million = £37.5 million.Have a midfield from Lucas, Gerrard, Meiriles, Joe Cole ( if we must), Maxi, Pacheco, Johnson plus 2 good wide players (£28 million)

Buy another forward to compliment Torres or play as a lone striker from surplus money & club profits. Keep Ngog.

Promote Suso to the first team squad.

As I see it the problem with the Suarez and Adam transfers is the silly money being quoted. I have no doubt NESV want to invest but why pay way over the odds for two players who may not cut it on a consistent basis in the prem at the highest level.

Both are a risk. Suarez . we don't know how his form will translate over here and Adam. well is half a good season much to go on? I'd take both. I think they are both quality but the prices being quoted should really only apply to players who have consistently proven their worth at the highest level.

Neither has. hence the status quo. NESV may consider things as too much of a risk. I don't blame them in the slightest.

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

How long it has been that Birmingham were taken over with the promises of good signings and brighter future. . .

Zigic apart, they have no one to speak about and they have been around quite a while now. . .

We have only Torres as a first striker for almost one and half seasons now. . . If we don't have a backup for him by the end of Jan, it will be a shame for the people in power. . .At least we can buy someone like Wickham or striker (who plays in the hole or second striker). . . . .

The owners are hiding behind the January transfer window saying its difficult to get the targets. . . The owners will have nowhere to hide in the summer where their mettle will be tested. . .

The least we can do is to get rid of the deadwood. . . .There has been good work in that respect with Babel moving. . . .

problem with getting rid of dead wood is u need replacements otherwise we r gunna be worst off if we don't and main players get injured

All, im affraid we will sign nobody until the summer. . . the even worser news is weve sold babel, konchesky will be on his way and so will jovanovic all not being replaced! !

Well done KKexcellent mangement! !

You jumped up ignorant T$%t. A footballing and management legend and you deem fit to rip in to him after a few weeks in his job. So what if he doesn't sign anyone I couldnt think of anyone I would rather have at the helm at the moment. Lets all have a laugh why don't you tell us what it is that you do in your sad little life?

Okay,
can someone remind me just what exactly it is Comolli does for us again?
I see it so far as:
1)identify talented potential targets around Europe and the World-cheque (on us btw)
2) negotiate transfers and contracts with agents and players and their respective (but disrespected) clubs-errr, well, ummm, you see, its like this, I am not a crock, ha ha of course I know what I'm doing John, well yes you are paying me a lot but. .well yes no players have signed for the first team, no the supporters or fans are fine with it, not at all John they have put to bed all that mistrust nonsense from the previous owner Americans, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes John you're right I DO need to show you and the club some positive outcomes soon. .(oh no its happening again I've been rumbled, maybe West Ham need a new Director)

As I see it the problem with the Suarez and Adam transfers is the silly money being quoted. I have no doubt NESV want to invest but why pay way over the odds for two players who may not cut it on a consistent basis in the prem at the highest level.

Both are a risk. Suarez . we don't know how his form will translate over here and Adam. well is half a good season much to go on? I'd take both. I think they are both quality but the prices being quoted should really only apply to players who have consistently proven their worth at the highest level.

Neither has. hence the status quo. NESV may consider things as too much of a risk. I don't blame them in the slightest.

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

How long it has been that Birmingham were taken over with the promises of good signings and brighter future. . .

Zigic apart, they have no one to speak about and they have been around quite a while now. . .

We have only Torres as a first striker for almost one and half seasons now. . . If we don't have a backup for him by the end of Jan, it will be a shame for the people in power. . .At least we can buy someone like Wickham or striker (who plays in the hole or second striker). . . . .

The owners are hiding behind the January transfer window saying its difficult to get the targets. . . The owners will have nowhere to hide in the summer where their mettle will be tested. . .

The least we can do is to get rid of the deadwood. . . .There has been good work in that respect with Babel moving. . . .

If we end up signing no one this transfer window when there is quite clearly transfer funds available and players wanting to come to liverpool, and this is what comolli as been brought into do. he should be shown the door, i know he you have to prudent with the money not to overspend like man s**ttie but i think that offering 12.7 million for a striker who could score goals at any level, is a bollock dropped. kenny dalglish does not need anyone to tell him who is a good player and who is not. comolli was brought in over hodgson, who basically i wouldn't give money to to buy sweets. get shot of this pillock. richy redlips

Just a quick question, if Liverpool fail to bring in anyone who will improve the club during the remainder of the transfer window will that mean that Damien Comolli has failed in his role at the club of highlighting and negoitiating deals for the best talent in world football.

RedAk1

{Editor's Note: He is also tasked with finding a new manager.}


The managers position is on the back foot surely whilst the transfer window is open, he has had 3 months already looking for players I for one am begining to think as harry redknapp did "this mans f***n useless"

Its better not to buy anyone instead of buying Cole. . . .

We should be promoting youngsters to the first team. . . . .This is by far the best season to discover 2-3 hidden jewels in the academy. . . . Technically I am sure all the players will be good but its the mental aspect which takes over when you throw someone into the first team. .

Another thing for the Eds and Macca,

Would Spurs sell Kranjcar to us?

He, like N'Zogbia, would give us a left sided midfielder. At 26 he still has some miles and does a good enough job until summer, after then he can be a squad player - depends on fee of course as don't want to waste money.

Just think that the sale of our whole left side of midfield is paving way for someone.
(Babel gone, Jova poss going, Cole can't get game and poss on loan, Konc wingback and going, Aurelio substitute at best) Am I missing anyone? ?

Thanks again Eds for posting.

Hi all
All this talk of suarez has got me so down. Im well aware we need another lb, cb, cm, rw, lw and st but anyone can see that we are crying out for some width with pace and creativity.
If we have spent most of this window trying to sign a striker i will have lost all faith. Yes we need 1 but we never play 2 up top and nando is world class.
We literally have NO WINGERS.
lb- needed in summer but can wait for now

cb- skrtel, carra, greek poor but good youth

cm- adam at start of jan for 5 mill wuda bn good but as usualk we wait and wait til hes overpriced.

st- yes if torres get injured we're in trouble but hoping he can stay fit. Also kuyt and jova are natural strikers (terrible i kno).

wingers- maxi, kuyt are shocking- not a sprint in them.

Please bring in a wide man. (except young)lol

Following the dismissal of 'laddo' TV pundit Andy Gray, and the resignation of his 'laddo' mate Richard Keys, Sky TV have come up with a monster of a new presenter plan - designed to create open warfare on the terraces of Anfield and Old Trafford.

With ex-Kop favourite Jamie Redknapp already in post at the microphone, Sky chiefs have mischievously decided to bring in the great Manchester United defender Gary Neville to keep him company.

"It'll be like the first Battle of The Somme", smiled a Sky TV spokesman this morning.

"Neville and Redknapp are from two completely different planets. They represent the supreme culture clash in football over the whole output of sports television", he added.

"Think Coe versus Ovett. Get your head around Rooney versus Gerrard. Messi versus Ronaldo. It'll be like that week in week out. Two pundits at loggerheads with each another".

"They're going to need cages and handcuffs when they get into the studio".

Meanwhile Manchester police announced today that following Neville's appointment, extra troops will be deployed on match days.

Similarly in Liverpool. Detachments from several Paratroop regiments will be scattered throughout the city until the Neville/ Redknapp situation calms down.

Match Day restraint orders will soon be announced from Downing Street.

The Battle of Bosworth was in 1485.

Would rather have kranjcar than adam, basically he his more mobile, as an eye for goal, still only 25, and as played international football for many a year. the only problem with niko he is not getting a game so he can't show what he can do. don't get me wrong adam can spray a ball about but wants the point when you have no wide men to knock it to. hope we sign suarez because the guy can finish regardless of what league you play in, goals are goals.

With regards Hodgson, i told you he was leaving before the Utd game.

The info i pass is 100% genuine but i cannot guarantee we will sign these players because circumstances change.

i for one will say that macca's info is top notch and far far more reliable than anyone else's on here he has proved me wrong at least once so far and hope he does it again as i can't see any signings this window but in macca i trust so get off his back and welcome the info when he has it!

LFC is becoming more and more of an unattractive club to come and play for. the history will always be there but players look at clubs for the ambition they show for the future and i'm afraid in the transfer market liverpool show zero ambition season after season, the best players we have now are growing ever frustrated with the serious lack of good quality players coming into the club. were becoming a very unattractive club to play for with the players we've got, there are good quality players who want to play for us. hand in transfer request to prove it and what do we. refuse to pay the money, ambition = zero, are we being held to ransom, no way, you want a teams very best player you better be willing to pay up for him or don't be so rude as to even enquire, as far as i'm comcerned we will always have to sell to buy and we will never aim for players who cost more than 10 - 12 million. lets compare that to united, city, arsenal, chelsea, tottenham and now even villa and wonder why we lose out on the best players, pretty simple really, that's 6 teams who are willing to pay serious money for seriously good players making players feel like "yes i like this, a team who are going in the right direction and proving it", that leaves us struggling before we ever kick a ball every season, i will forever love my team to the death, but i'm incredibly frustrated with the dire transfer policy, please comment on my thoughts, an ed's please post this. some thought has gone into it. .thanks

As I see it the problem with the Suarez and Adam transfers is the silly money being quoted. I have no doubt NESV want to invest but why pay way over the odds for two players who may not cut it on a consistent basis in the prem at the highest level.

Both are a risk. Suarez . we don't know how his form will translate over here and Adam. well is half a good season much to go on? I'd take both. I think they are both quality but the prices being quoted should really only apply to players who have consistently proven their worth at the highest level.

Neither has. hence the status quo. NESV may consider things as too much of a risk. I don't blame them in the slightest.


fine if we don't know how foreigners will be over here maybe the whole english league should be made up of english players only no foreign players, so guess that leaves us with english players here, , so we got available, as a striker c.cole hmmmm i don't think so

Just read what u writ ed. so the only money your saying for tranfers is money made from selling the players we have now, well in my eyes we are doomed we made £6m on babel maybe get £3m joanivic that's £9m for 2 players and still that aint enough to buy a decent player back. the only players we have to get good money on is the players we need cos there is only like 4 [torres, gerrard, meriales and mayb johnson] so what u might be applying is if we sell 11 of our players we might get 6 good players with the money we make. sorry ed but nesv need to put there money in there own pocket after all it is their business and if they want success it comes at a cost. gezza1982

well we are not exactly making much money are we, to provide for the transfer funds, so they r gunna have to supply there own money untill we r in a position to use the clubs money and not there own, now most r not expecting them to bid 40-50 mill for suarez but 25 mill is reasonable specially in todays market, we are not gunna get good players for 12 mill

{Editor's Note: NESV are getting their information from Comolli and Dalglish - so it may not be the fault of NESV that players are not valued that highly.}

i don't blame nesv for the state the clubs in, but the only way they can get this club making money again is by improving the squad and to improve the squad they need to invest, if they don't invest how do they expect to make money, they not gunna make it with a squad we have now simple as

Come on guys this isn't the macca appreciation society , we all knew roy was going so that was hardly exclusive, now some butt kissers are hanging on his every word (are we bidding for nzogbia, even macca said we were) get a grip guys loads of people have been posting about nzogbia, suarez plus many others, no one including macca knows who we're going to sign, if we even get anyone.

You are right i do not know who we are going to sign but i have ideas who we are interested in.

I told you that we are interested in Suarez before anything was mentioned in the press.

I also know that Commoli was at the Wigan game the other night watching N Zogbia i believe.

With regards Hodgson, i told you he was leaving before the Utd game.

The info i pass is 100% genuine but i cannot guarantee we will sign these players because circumstances change.

Cheers

If you had to put a % on Suarez signing what would it be now, after all what's happend Macca? I for one am really hoping we get him, because God knows what we would do if Torres gets injures. Hope u reply Macca mate.

No i won't be in for a shock cos i already know that nesv won't spend money like they do at red sox, football isn't there thing, lfc was just another toy to them, they will get bored soon, the red sox is their main concern from everything they own.

I'm stunned by this nesv spend money in relation to the income generated they spend mega bucks at red sox as they generate mega bucks.
We will have to wait to see how they increase our revenues before our war chest increases and only truly stupid people can expect huge transfer budgets in a recession when the new owners haven't even had a quarterly statement to look at.

So leave it out and let a self made billionaire get to work they have brains than a Saudi royal family with money coming out their ears due to accidentally sitting on oil and
this is what will tell long term

ha ha i don't expect them to spend 100 mill a season, but if they don't buy now whos available and improve the squad by suimmer we won't be so attractive to players, the club isn't making enough money to provide for transfers, if they want to get the club big again, making money they need to invest in the squad simple as

Liverpool apparrently have launched a last ditch bid of 16 million to land Suarez.

I believe Ajax will have to accept the offer after all they have big debts and suarez boycoted training today but i think they will haggle and accept a bid of about £18 million, i believe this deal is as close to happening as its ever been, guess we'll just have to be patient and await the outcome

{Editor's Note: You are sure that Chelsea and Manchester United won't bid more then?}

Well we'll just have to wait and see, we're selling players and i would atleast like to see 1 come in, what do you think, do you happen to think we'll sign adam or suarez ?

{Editor's Note: I expect one or two players to come in - possibly including Adam.}

Hi ed well it don't look like we will get any of are main transfer targets. its an old saying you pay peanuts you get monkeys and we have plenty of them in are squad. how ever why do we not go and bid 6 to 8 million for the boy taarbet from qpr he looks a fantastic player and we have the funds from babbel and i think he would jump to play for us. also ed can i just say i really expected the board to go out there and back kenny this window to make sure we make a european place maybe even sneak 4th spot with some top names on board to help us, i really hope some of these rumours of them just in it for a quick buck are just that but they are staying so quite over stadium funding for players and the future outlook for the club, i mean if they went out and got honda for wot 14 million his shirt sales and everything else that comes with him would recoupe that in two years, we could even do a summer tour pre seasson that would make use millions. i think that the owners need to make a huge statment spend 60 70 million. wot do you think on these couple of points ed?

{Editor's Note: The boy from QPR has already failed at the higher level; we do not know that the board are not backing Dalglish; NESV are not going to go on a shopping spree to make any sort of statement.}

Sorry to disappoint, but KK has already stated that it would be difficult to sign anybody this window, which puts doubt on liverpool actually being able to compete in the market at this time.

I think a big name in the summer would be more realistic, as there will be scope to calculate the exact transfer money made from selling players in this window and then realistic offers can be made.

Oh and don't be put off by all the media hype all that followed Torres for months and he signed didn't he! !

I like the way Kenny is bringing in shelvey, and giving him a decent amount of time to play, not just the 89th minute, and doing it consistently. We haven't seen anyone use the youth like this for a long time. They either used to just get given the odd full game where the result doesn't matter, i.e. the last europa match or when someone is injured (fair enough) then dropped when that player comes back. Players like Kelly and shelevy must be loving Kenny as he is clearly rewarding them. Shelvey now knows that he is going to be given a spell in the game regularly and if he impresses he has a chance at a starting position. The last manager that did that was Roy Evans and before that it was KK, again. It must also give hope to other youth players on the cusp of the first squad as now they can see light at the end of the tunnel (and Anfield Grass).

It's good to see!

{Editor's Note: It was Hodgson who bought Shelvey in to the team - not Dalglish.}

Having said that, Houllier only brought Stevie G in because he was so good and couldnt ignore him. Can you name anyone else that Houllier brought in through the ranks? Owen and Carra were both down to Evans.

Good topic though!

Do you think this rumor about lfc not paying over inflated prices are a farce as does it really matter what you pay for a player as long as he can do a job for you.if lfc think saurez can bang in x amount of goals for us a season then buy him whether he costs £10m or £30m.sounds as if nesv want something for nothing if you ask me.if you only want to pay pitance for a striker then you get the likes of cole and babel .if they think he is quality then stop being tight, aparently the funds are there so spend!

{Editor's Note: I am guessing you didn't do a business degree.}

no i agree with him ed and i did do a business degree, from what ive seen the amount of money they throw about at the red sox they certainly are not short of money,
they need to spend to improve the team to get back fighting for titles, after a couple of transfer windows of spending big they can slow down because by then the squad should be good enough to be winning titles then,
as we all know winning titles brings in money, brings in big sponsorships, over the years the fan base will grow bigger, so more and more merchandise sold, more jerseys sold, hopefully nesv can tap into the asian market too and hopefully they can grow our fan base in the US also.
think about it how much u make from the europa league, then next season europa league probably, then hopefully we are in a position to win something like the fa cup make some money from that, league position makes money, then hopefully by the 2012/ 13 season we are back in champions league football and making more money,
and hopefully fighting for the title, it will all add up to pay back the fees we paid out on players! !

{Editor's Note: I think you are in for a shock then.}

Sorry Ed what do you mean by in for a shock. You have to take a chance sometimes speculate to accumulate. Sure I agree, we are right not to be held to ransome and pay silly money but we must up the current offers or we will end up with an even lighter squad than we had a week ago. Can you tell us what you mean.

I agree entirley with what you say re NESVs stance in regard to finance and transfer cash. This unfortunatley means we will be shopping for bargains or young players with potential. Proven quality does cost that bit more and unfortunatley I don't see us being able to raise the amounts being quoted. Therefore we will miss out and we may get a lot more frustrated before this window closes. Im not advocating spending silly money or paying well over the odds, I just feel NESV may be on the verge of a very steep learning curve re what we expect them to be doing business wise.

As a LFC supporter and west brom scout, even if we had 20 million we would not buy him. He is not good enough for the PL and have an average goal ratio of 10. He hasn't got the attributes to make it, so i hope for LFC, the deal doesn't go through and fingers cross Llorente comes to LFC as he will become the greatest striker in the world if he comes to the PL.

Do you think this rumor about lfc not paying over inflated prices are a farce as does it really matter what you pay for a player as long as he can do a job for you.if lfc think saurez can bang in x amount of goals for us a season then buy him whether he costs £10m or £30m.sounds as if nesv want something for nothing if you ask me.if you only want to pay pitance for a striker then you get the likes of cole and babel .if they think he is quality then stop being tight, aparently the funds are there so spend!

{Editor's Note: I am guessing you didn't do a business degree.}

no i agree with him ed and i did do a business degree, from what ive seen the amount of money they throw about at the red sox they certainly are not short of money,
they need to spend to improve the team to get back fighting for titles, after a couple of transfer windows of spending big they can slow down because by then the squad should be good enough to be winning titles then,
as we all know winning titles brings in money, brings in big sponsorships, over the years the fan base will grow bigger, so more and more merchandise sold, more jerseys sold, hopefully nesv can tap into the asian market too and hopefully they can grow our fan base in the US also.
think about it how much u make from the europa league, then next season europa league probably, then hopefully we are in a position to win something like the fa cup make some money from that, league position makes money, then hopefully by the 2012/ 13 season we are back in champions league football and making more money,
and hopefully fighting for the title, it will all add up to pay back the fees we paid out on players! !

{Editor's Note: I think you are in for a shock then.}

no i won't be in for a shock cos i already know that nesv won't spend money like they do at red sox, football isn't there thing, lfc was just another toy to them, they will get bored soon, the red sox is their main concern from everything they own.

Heres part of the article re Jason Banton from LFC website. Re signing for us.

Liverpool have today confirmed that teenager Jason Banton has joined the Academy until the end of the season.

The former Arsenal and Blackburn winger was on trial at the club and was an unused substitute in the Reserves' 2-1 success over Sunderland earlier this week.

Academy director Frank McParland told Liverpoolfc.tv: "Jason has been training with us here at the Academy for the past three to four weeks.

"He's a talented winger who we feel can be a very good player for us.

"It didn't work out for him at Blackburn so we have stepped in and have signed him at least until the end of the season. It's up to him now to show that he has what it takes to wear the red shirt."

Banton, 18, played in the same youth team as Arsenal starlet Jack Wilshere

LOL - I'll try and write it again so it makes sense -

Just a quick mention

I like the way Kenny is bringing in shelvey, and giving him a decent amount of time to play, not just the 89th minute, and doing it consistently. We haven't seen anyone use the youth like this for a long time. They either used to just get given the odd full game where the result doesn't matter, i.e. the last europa match or when someone is injured (fair enough) then dropped when that player comes back. Players like Kelly and shelevy must be loving Kenny as he is clearly rewarding them. Shelvey now knows that he is going to be given a spell in the game regularly and if he impresses he has a chance at a starting position. The last manager that did that was Roy Evans and before that it was KK, again. It must also give hope to other youth players on the cusp of the first squad as now they can see light at the end of the tunnel (and Anfield Grass).

It's good to see!

Just wanted to say mate, that on a site that is filled 99.999% with made up guesswork and lies, anyone who tells the truth, and knows what they are on about, is gold dust.
People had been talking about Roy going and predicting him to be sacked for months, so its not fair to say 'we all knew.' For all we knew, Roy might have been allowed to stay till June.
So whatever you do mate, don't discourage Macca, because quite honestly he's the only one I take any notice of.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish expressed his frustrations at challenges to the Reds' transfer bids for Luis Suarez and Charlie Adam.
"The finance is there. Everything is in place but it's difficult to get players out of other clubs at this time, " Dalglish said to reporters after Liverpool's 1-0 win against Fulham.
"If we do not get anyone it is not for the want of trying."
Ajax manager Frank de Boer has set a Saturday deadline for the Suarez negotiations.
Both Suarez and Adam have made clear their desires to play at Anfield. The transfer window closes next Monday.

well if the finance is there for these players why u sitting around for doing nothing to get them, nothing complicated there they both wanna leave for liverpool so get it done

{Editor's Note: Atletico Madrid have made their interest in the player known. They have been told he will not be available in the summer. If they match the required price for the player, if they offer a good package to the player and if all parties agree then he will move to Madrid. Spanish football will suit his style and this will be an important factor. If Liverpool want the player they know what they have to do. And the weather is better.}

Honda - £15m (Asia's best player & shirt sales would pay for his transfer fee)

I hope im proven wrong by Monday i really do.

Turan is the best player in Turkey. LOL would love him

Saurez is well overpriced

Honda not as good as Mazda Would love a honda in this instance.

Young isn't guarenteed anything for 2011 england have enough cover there for a guarentee. If he dose move hes not guarenteed a starting berth with us, manure, arsenal or mans**tty. Moving to a new club could damage his chances unless he hits the ground running, which we found out dosent always happen (Joe Cole).

If we pay over inflated prices on players ill be gutted id rather get nobody then be held to ransom. Suarez is worth 15m-20m and that's being generous. Remember Dirks scoring record in a leauge equivalent to the championship at best not bad. Hows his scoring record in the EPL.

On footy latest it says that KK may not get the backing of the owners to buy Charlie Adam. SO even though we are weakening the squad, even though we sold Babbel and have that money? What ever the amount was! Are they turning out to be like the previous Americans? Lying To us? Selling of our team, not strengthening it? Not backing the manager but saying different things to us the supporters.If we only brought one good signing this time for me CA would make me happy.
So what is the truth? Who is saying or doing what? I would love to see CA alongside Gerrard with RM up front along side FT. But I do not want any more lies or deceipt from the owners if this is the case. I hope I am wrong, I really do. but started to feel let down and do not want to see KK messed around by any one he is to special to all of us who support this great club.

Do the stats detail how many of those passes were sideways, backwards and over 5 metres?

Nor the fact that he has the turning pace of the QE2. Miles out of his depth, after 20 mins he looked like he has run the Grand National 4 times!

Very good point Frenchy, stats can be deceiving. However, when your wingers don't want / can't make forward runs all you have left is to go back or pass sideways. The passing lanes need to be created by runs. We have no wingers, that's why Poulsen, Lucas even Gerrard have to make short passes. I recall that Poulsen sent Meireles away on the first goal against Wolves. It's too easy to blame one guy for the shortcomings of the whole team. I don't think Poulsen is as bad as people want him to be, Kuyt and Maxi are far bigger concerns. Even Johnson when taken out of his comfort zone seems to respond very well. Despite all the abuse and the fact that he plays out of position he just has gotten on with it without sulking -at least not on the field. And all this nonsense about NESV being shrewed is laughable. Every fan knows that a new striker in needed, but the more urgent matter is the lack of width. If Suarez is priced too highly, then just leave him in Amsterdam and go after two natural wingers. I won't buy the 'we tried really hard, but Ajax and Blackpool wouldn't lower their prices' excuse. Truth is, neither Suarez nor Adam will fix the main problem so please surprise us by signing what we actually need when everything indicates that LFC are looking in the other direction.

Well that's told them hasn't it? Jesus, they must be absolutely bricking it. . . . .

Come on. Do any of you really think that we should be paying £25m for a bloke who by and large is unproven, has a suspect temper and bites people when it all goes t*ts up for him? As for £14m for that fat knacker Charlie Adam! He ran out of breath after 40 minutes the other night. He's like Insua, can't walk past a KFC without popping in. Fine for most people but not professional athletes.

I think fans are more likely to turn if alternatives currently on the books aren't given a fair run out should things worsen. Not if we're not blackmailed into paying well over the odds for 2 average at worst and good at best players.

Now that would be really stupid.

Either you join them or you stand aside and watch.How i wish we have owner like ManCity, be honest about it. it would be awesome."


Oh how happy I am that we don't have a owner like ManCity! I am American and I know very well what Henry's done with Red Sox. They were before he came, like Nottinngham Forest. But he took his time changed the whole situation. And for ManCity. well ask any True Liverpool fan what they think of them. Liverpool doesn't mean spending big money, we'll get the players we want and the players who wants to play for us. It's better to struggle for fourth place than buying yourself a silverware.

Loan deal for Djibril Cisse sealed! Regardless of Suaerez. News to break any minute know. Finally some good news.

How is a loan deal for glass legs forrest gump good news. The man just doesn't look up EVER and mostly just ends up running the ball out for a goal kick. This is bad news if true but I can't see us getting shut of babel and then bringing in someone worse than he was.

The way I see it any deal we had in place (for whoever) was off so they asked babel to stay as cover up-front. When the deal has come back on they've turned to babel and said its upto you now because your gonna be even further down the bench than usual so hes gone.

We must have someone lined up for the next few days but who it is if its not Suarez I don't think anyone will know til it happens.

It is looking increasingly likely that we won't sign any1 and actually weakened our squad by letting Babel go. Players that we could have signed for reasonable prices. I am in no way condoning the money spent by City and would not want that to happen at LFC but we have to spend big to get back to challenging for the title or at least top 4. The world and his dog knows we need a striker to compete with Torres, quality LB & LW, CM & CB. The players are out there and if you have to pay £15m for Ashley Young or Honda then why not?

Suarez - £25m (on the limit of being overpriced)
Young - £15m (Going to be in the England squad if not starting 11 for Euro's)
Honda - £15m (Asia's best player & shirt sales would pay for his transfer fee)

I live in the states, got off the phone with my nephew last nite after he had been to the game and we got into the stadium debate.
He is all in favour of new stadium, i mysellf don't realy have preferance but do lean towards staying at anfield and redeveloping it to bring up to scratch so to speak.
I know people say new stadium wil bring in more revenue but will it realy?, we have a massive world wide fanbase but historicly we have not proven to have a large match day following, our best ever avg attendance is only 48,000 so when people call for a 70 or 80,000 stadium are we realy going to fill it ?.
Last nights game again was not sold out even on our own allocation and hate us to be playing in stadium half empty with no atmosphere, ( even in 70s and 80s when we took europe by storm our midweek att was rarely capacity unless a top team was playing ).
I think nesv have done there homework on this and will lean towards staying at anfield and maximising ticket revenue accordingly, anyone who has witnessed the neu camp or bernbau half empty will know what i meen.
As i say i have been here in the states for a few yrs now so i am out of touch so to speak, .

So will we fill a large stadium ?

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

This was a rearranged game last night.
ALL the season tickets were sold out, but as many of the reds fans now come from Ireland, Scandanvia, London, etc. it was difficult for many to attend this rearranged game. That is why many seats were not occupied. So revenue was NOT effected
It was the Fulham section that was not fully sold
LFC have over 40,000 on the waiting list for season tickets (I think the most in any sport in the world? ). That and if they had some sections that were pay at the turnstiles, I am sure we could easily fill 60 - 70,000

Any reason why Lucas didn't play yest? Seems to me Kenny is not playing the players who are leaving. Anyone else seem to notice that?

According to his Twitter last night, he said ". .I hope I will be fit against Stoke", think he had a slight niggle with his achilles. .

Hi There,

Just my Opinion.

I am quite dissappointed on how Liverpool have handle their transfer dealing or rather the expectation of thousand of Liverpool fans here. Yes, we should not buy player who are overprice. Adam at more than 7 million is a joke but Suarez at 12.5 million is also a joke. Liverpool at this moment DOES NOT have the financial muscle like Man City, Chealsea or MU. BUT for LIverpool to succeed in a short term we need to be in par with them when come to spending power with regards to players acquisition. NESV priority is the stadium. Only then they can generate enough funds to buy world class players. Fans must understand that NESV intention is to built from the youth. I believe NESV doesn't have the money to buy Suarez however Commoli is putting his neck on the chopping blok by bidding 12 mil for Suarez and hoping for a miracle.If successful imagine how Commoli be worship in Anfield.

Mr. Henry is not going to spend BIG as most fans expected. Not now at least. I hope m wrong. We be struggling to qualify for CL for the next 3 years at least.Liverpool alone cannot fight others clubs spending ridiculous money on players. Either you join them or you stand aside and watch.How i wish we have owner like ManCity, be honest about it. it would be awesome.

By the way i m a die hard Liverpool fan but m leaving in a realistic world

Ed just wanted to look into "buying a new winger " do you think its likely that we might wait until the summer , as are main targets such as turan , eden hazard , ashley young are all not available at the moment and that kenny and comolli won't just wanna buy a winger for the sake of it?

i think if we do buy a winger in this window its between two players , kesiuke honda or charles nzogbia , that would solve the left hand side then we need a rw which we could prob wait till the summer for our above targets.

what you think ed?

Hi Ed, why don't we just go for the Chamberlain kid from saints. Ars & Utd are dallying - put in a bid for 10m upfront and get him. We seem to have gone quiet there. We are desp in need of pacy wingers and worse case he will be worth 15-20m in a couple of years.

Isn't that what NESV is supposed to be wanting?

{Editor's Note: So £10M spent on a player who may not be ready for the first team? Arsenal and Manchester United are not looking to use him right away.}

*********************
Yes if he is as good as he seems to be with the big boys all interested. Whats the diff everyone saying 20m for Lukaku?

So what is NESV's philosphy then? I am confused then if this kid isn't it.

Plus we have no wingers, so he could play now already and progress faster than Walcott who Wenger held back for years imo.

{Editor's Note: The NESV policy will not include throwing £10M at an unproven youngster who you might think could go straight in to the side, but I fear the senior coaches and managers may disagree with you.}

"So will we fill a large stadium ?

Martin"

Yes. The new stadium was also intended to increase revenue due to the greater amount of boxes we could fit in. Look at how much Arsenal make from theirs at The Emirates. It may not be for the bread-and-butter fans but they contribute greatly to turnover in terms of pounds per inch of space.

Babel to hoffenheim [done]
Jovanovic to wolfsburg as dzeko replacement [50/ 50]
Konchesky loaned back to fulham [done]
Lucas to villa real [50/ 50]
Poulsen to monoco [50/ 50]

J.Cole - nobody knows whats happening with him
Degen - contract ends soon, not worth a penny
Insua - playing awful at galatasary, be lucky to offload
Aquilani to sign for juventus in the summer
Zhar - not worth anything, contract ends soon

id suggest you guys look at our squad list on the lfc website and look at how low in numbers we are. 2-3 days to sign 4-5 replacements, we're struggling as it is. If the following goes ahead then i sense a huge spending spree in the summer!

First time writing, and i think i've heard a lot.its obvious that all YONKS are the same when it comes to liverpool fc irrespective of their former exploits.if we can't pay $25m for a player in the calibre of suares then we are condenming ourselves to mid table midiocrity.i live in nigeria, and as at now i can't even argue with my friends on football matters bcos they beleive that i'm now WALKING ALONE. Suarex can shoot from outside the 18yard box like our general(steve g), can dribble more than our best dribbler(g johnson), can score like our el nino, and most especially is the most suitable for what we need at the moment(striker, supporting striker, AM, LM, RM and free kick taker when general is unavailable like in our last 3 games.HENRY, WERNER, COMMOLLI, KING K AND EVEN SAMMY LEE sign this guy or we walk alone.

Just something I heard some time ago, (Sorry can't find any references/ quotes), but Adams' is apparently in dispute with Blackpool about some unpaid bonus from last season. If this correct & he wins his case, then his contract becomes void/ cancelled & therefore can leave for free. Has anyone else heard this? {ed's note - was this not resolved before the season started? He apparently got a guarantee of being allowed to leave for a big club at the same time, hence him being upset at Blackpool not allowing him to leave to join Liverpool.

Adam won his case, it was for a £20000 bonus if Blackpool were not relegated from the Championship, however his contract was not annulled. He has an agreement with BFC that he can leave for a top four club, but only if the clubs transfer demands are met.

I live in the states, got off the phone with my nephew last nite after he had been to the game and we got into the stadium debate.
He is all in favour of new stadium, i mysellf don't realy have preferance but do lean towards staying at anfield and redeveloping it to bring up to scratch so to speak.
I know people say new stadium wil bring in more revenue but will it realy?, we have a massive world wide fanbase but historicly we have not proven to have a large match day following, our best ever avg attendance is only 48,000 so when people call for a 70 or 80,000 stadium are we realy going to fill it ?.
Last nights game again was not sold out even on our own allocation and hate us to be playing in stadium half empty with no atmosphere, ( even in 70s and 80s when we took europe by storm our midweek att was rarely capacity unless a top team was playing ).
I think nesv have done there homework on this and will lean towards staying at anfield and maximising ticket revenue accordingly, anyone who has witnessed the neu camp or bernbau half empty will know what i meen.
As i say i have been here in the states for a few yrs now so i am out of touch so to speak, .

So will we fill a large stadium ?

It can be seen that we are moving on players who in all honesty will not be involved with Kenny, Babel has gone after 3 years of not fulfilling his potential, Konchesky looks to be on his way as he is not good enough, and we've fielded an offer for Jovanovic, who has not shown anything like the form he showed for Serbia or Liege. Is there anything wrong with shedding some £150,000 a week off our wage bill?
That £150k/ week would be much better spent on the wages of better players. NESV said when they joined, they couldnt believe how high our wage bill was, with the performances we were putting in and the quality of the players we had. The Boston Red Sox have the 2nd highest wage bill behind the Yankees, so we can't say that they're cheap. . but their spending has led to success.
Tom Werner has said they would look to increase our wage bill, and sign players - he knows that us Liverpool fans have been promised things before, and when they havent been delivered, he knows the consequences otherwise he wouldn't be our chairman. NESV/ FSG need time, they need to appoint the CEO, they have a managerial issue to deal with as to whether to keep Kenny, the stadium rebuild/ move. If the players we want are available at reasonable prices (not Man City prices) we will bring people in

Don't usually visit the Liverpool site, I'm actually a Celtic fan with a soft spot for Man Utd. I just came in to tell you what I heard at tonights game. I was told that Liverpool are sniffing around Stan Petrov of AV. This came from a Celtic employee who knows Stan well from his time up here. I thought it was bollox to be honest, so I googled it and all I saw was Hodgson had been interested, but then I remembered who it was who actually signed Petrov for Celtic, it was Kenny Dalglish. Granted he was only 18/ 19 at the time and Kennys time at Celtic wasn't great, but if he could persuade the hottest east-european prospect (at the time) to leave his home, family and snub others and sign for Celtic surely it wouldn't take much to persuade him to join a club of Liverpools size. No offence to any Villa fans, but Liverpool are a much bigger club. Not saying this is a definite but I was genuinely told this.

If we don't get Suarez and Adam at least they have shown for any future potential transfers that they won't be held to ransom by anybody. These players have both said that they want to play for Liverpool so why not wait til there contract runs down and down til the amount we'll have to give these greedy clubs will be next to nothing. We're not desperate and must show it. Eventually, Blackpool and Ajax will be the ones who'll be desperate to get rid while they can still get anything for their players, because they won't be signing any extended contracts.

Another point, what a refreshing change with Kenny saying 7th is nothing to get excited about. Roy would be claiming to be the new Messiah for getting us into the top half. The difference a different mindset makes.

Hi Ed,

Any thoughts on Mata and if we have actually looked at him. I'm sure he would cope with EPL physicality (if Maxi can) and be an awesome player. Valencia are always cash strapped and sell their top players.

He would be my no1 target for left hand side.

{Editor Note: Benitez was a fan of Mata when he arrived and Mata was keen to come to Liverpool. His agent was constantly telling Liverpool how good he is, how he has a university education, how his wages aren't massive etc. etc.! I'm sure in the Summer we'll atleast have a look - he's an outstanding player.}

Possibility of us getting A.Young, as Birmingham offer S.Larrson as part of C.Davies deal.
A.Young was watched very closely by Liverpool scouts last night. (confirmed).
Also, reportedly making progress with Suarez and Adam. Warnock will be confirmed after big name signing(s) as owners want a big signing first.

Keep the Faith,
In NESV we WILL TRUST.

Sounds to me you are not a Liverpool fan. .also in case you are away with the fairies we are in 7th position in the league that means 13 teams BELOW us have a better chance of going down.

Some thoughts on our youngsters:

Although I am disappointed no new wingers have arrived, I can't but wonder why players such as Ince, Amoo and possibly Silva have not been given a chance (10 minute cameo etc).

We could end up buying a LW winger for 15m without ever seeing if Ince could do the job and be great.

As for a striker, every time I see Ngog I'm not convinced, but why not give Saric or Ngoo a gap? Isn't that what reserves/ U18's are there for. Play them.

And don't get me started on Pacheco. Just behind Torres he would be awesome, but we want to pay 12m for Honda. Least give Pacheco a proper chance.

Anyone in agreement?

To the guy that said this:

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

John Henry want's to lower the wage bill eh?. But didn't Tom Werner just a couple of days ago said he wanted to raise it. So either there is a conflict of interest at NESV or your full of s**t.

Also i don't know why ppl are continuing to link us with that utterly poo staind pants of a player Carlton Cole. He is s**t and will never play for Liverpool. I'd prefer to have N'Gog with a broken leg in front of goal.

{Editor Note: I would say that Werner and Henry are happy to have a high wage bill if the team merits the wages they are getting and are competing at a good level. But Henry was touching upon the fact that our wage bill is absolutly massive and the team simply does not reflect it.}

LOL - I'll try and write it again so it makes sense -

Just a quick mention

I like the way Kenny is bringing in shelvey, and giving him a decent amount of time to play, not just the 89th minute, and doing it consistently. We haven't seen anyone use the youth like this for a long time. They either used to just get given the odd full game where the result doesn't matter, i.e. the last europa match or when someone is injured (fair enough) then dropped when that player comes back. Players like Kelly and shelevy must be loving Kenny as he is clearly rewarding them. Shelvey now knows that he is going to be given a spell in the game regularly and if he impresses he has a chance at a starting position. The last manager that did that was Roy Evans and before that it was KK, again. It must also give hope to other youth players on the cusp of the first squad as now they can see light at the end of the tunnel (and Anfield Grass).

It's good to see!

I got news - we too tight to pay 12.5m for a decent winger which the club desp. needs. .

And can't defend NESV on this one. We were linked with him, his club stated he could leave for 12.5m - suddenly all quiet on our side. .

And for those who say 'maybe we weren't really after him anyways' - then we are fools. Tired of watching Maxi on the LW.

{editor: £12.5m for a player that can't cross, shoot, tackle or pass is a bit heavy.}

Agreed, but who would pay 12.5m for Kuyt or Maxi? ;-)

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

Granted, Maxi Isn't worth 12.5m but are you saying Kuyt isn't either?

IMO Kuyt is worth at least 15m. The man is a work horse.

****************
Sarcasm mate, the Ed was being mocked as he was perfectly describing Kuyt & Maxi as players that {can't cross, shoot, tackle or pass is a bit heavy.}

Simple for me. Elia is better than both of them combined. I have seen him play a fair bit. 12.5m - pay it. (add the fact we have no LW's in our squad - makes it even more a no brainer for me)

i live in sweden now and i know for a fact elmander from bolton is rated a lot higher than toivoinen, as is the younger striker coming through berg, and soon gendt who i think liverpool should try get now! hes class!
elamander back up to torres till summer 5mil will get him and this year hes proved he can score, also whats wrong with royston drenthe?

Elmander is not better then Toivonen. Not even Berg is better. Elmander is overrated, this is the first season in 2 years he scores goals this much. Before this season, how many goals did he score for Bolton? I think it was 2 or something like that. That's really bad.
And Gerndt is not ready yet, he needs time. If he's coming to Liverpool now he would sit on the bench alot. He's just not good enough atm.

Liverpool to approach Real Madrid over £13m midfielderMadrid live streaming

Granero - a former Real Madrid youngster - only returned to the Bernabeu in 2009 in a euros 4m deal from Getafe but despite a promising first campaign back he has seen his chances limited this term following the summer arrivals of Germany internationals Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira. While he has recently forced his way back into manager Jose Mourinho's plans with a crucial equaliser at bottom club Almeria 11 days ago, he remains a peripheral figure in the Spanish capital.

Liverpool are aware of his and hope to take advantage of the 23-year-old's situation. His versatile nature means that he could be deployed as an attacking playmaker or even in the Xabi Alonso role, dictating the tempo from deep.

While he might not be guaranteed a first team place at Real Madrid, he is still highly valued there and Liverpool can expect to pay around £13m for his sign. Sportingo.com

There is a severe lack of patience among the so called Liverpool supporters on this site, along with a widespread misconception that the average internet poster knows more about the world of business and football transfers than John W. Henry and Damien Comolli.

I'd rather we signed nobody than be held to ransom due to the over inflated January transfer market.

Reality check: Signing Suarez, Turan, Marin, Sanchez, Mata and Adam will not guarantee us a champions league place this season, the same way that NOT signing one or all of the above named players will NOT mean we will be relegated this season.

Therefore, if consolidating this season with the current squad means that we are able to sign four quality players at reasonable prices in the summer, rather than one or two now for extortionate prices than I fully back the approach the Liverpool board are taking.

Rome wasn't built in a day afterall.

Ed, what's your view on BBC sports report that Jose Morihnio has said he wants to return to England in the Summer?
Do you think this would alert NESV to the possibility of Jose taking the Liverpool managers position? Would love Kenny to stay, as all reds fans would, but surely NESV would have to seriously concider his domestic and European record? And if approached, would it be a challenge Jose would welcome? {ed's note - I hope not, if we are reduced to cheating our way to victory I would be disappointed.}
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Ed, I see your in classic form. JM would have us buried in a mountain of debt in a season. We'd be diving all over the place and dishing out elbows and knees to every decent striker we'd played against in no time. KK is the man and if he wants to stay on after the summer, he can write his own contract and terms. Just to hear his comments to the media are a breath of fresh air.
Whats with all the idiot comments on here going on about NESV. I just went over to the official site for the first time in a while and the content by some posters there is putrid. Cant understand the spend spend spend mentality that some of these kids have. Its real money folks not monopoly money. WE SHOULD NOT BE HELD TO RANSOM. Financial responsibility is what is important right now and I applaud NESV for this. There is a rumour that Holloway gets a percentage of all sell ons for profit from the Blackpool owners, for operating on a shoestring. If this is true and he thinks he is playing LFC to help line his own pockets, then I have lost some respect for the man. 1200% profit on a player in 18 months is a pretty good offer. Take it or leave it.
Now to Mr. Saurez and Ajax. Club captain, biter, handball cheater, unproven league hotshot, young and upcoming star, you have a trigger in your contract and if you demand a transfer to a major club in the best league, then this can happen. Luis your worth 12-15 million max. Invoke the clause and come aboard. We'll probably double your wages and let you play with the best striker in the world. If you prove you can play and have the right attitude then you can become a superstar, and worth a superstar price-tag. Please tell your boss Frank that we are getting De Boer(ed) with the silly tactics. We will not overpay and be taken advantage of again. KK rules and I agree Ed he has been a great signing.
Thoughts ED?

Chi-Paul

{Editor Note: Refusing to give in and pay over the odds for players will benefit us in the long-term, especially when the financial fair play rules come in. Clubs like Man City will end up paying maybe £25m for a player who is worth about £12m at most, and it will effect them.}

I do not get it with this dutch league thing. the guy is a talent. his goal score isn't just high, it is exceptional which happens once in while in that league. like in the cases of Ronaldo, Romareo, Van nestroy. manchester paid £19 million british transfer record in 2000 for Nestroy. at the time the world transfer record was £35mill for crespo, now it is £80 mil. so can you still tell me £20 mil will be over inflated for the player? i believe that the guy is in the mould of Teves. Hard working, good with the ball, good shooter, lots of pace. the only thing the guy lucks is discipline. and i don't think you cut a price for that.
i do realize that there are a couple of buys in the same league that didn't work out. but it also happens in every where. it didn't work out for in Bent in spurs, we bought many players from La leaga who were a big failures. didn't work out for dossena and aquillani here. my point is, its not about the league, it is about the players and he is a world class. I believe that suarez will turn out to be a huge superstar if we buy him can easly be worth £40 mil in two years if everything works out.

Guillem Balague:

I've been receiving numerous emails from Liverpool fans asking about Luis Suarez and my views on him as a player. Personally, I think that he would make the ideal signing for Liverpool at this moment in time.

Multiple sources are reporting that Liverpool have been told by Ajax they have until Saturday to finalise a deal for Luis Suarez, or they will miss out on the Uruguayan forward. However, while it is true that the Amsterdam club have let it be known that they are trying to impose a deadline at the weekend, Liverpool believe that this is simply a negotiating tactic and that such ultimatums are rarely, if ever, enforced. Even if a deal is not finalised at the weekend, if Liverpool make an offer close to Ajax's asking price of £21million, the feeling at Anfield is that there is room to manoeuvre right up until January 31st when the transfer window closes.


Liverpool's position is boosted by the fact that the player is desperate to move to Liverpool and he has been monitoring the Premier League club closely all season, convinced that his can form a dream partnership with Fernando Torres that will help Liverpool push for European qualification. The feelings are mutual. Torres would prefer to play alongside Suarez - ahead of Negredo (who has not been contacted by LFC since the Premier League club made an earlier offer) or any other target on the horizon at the moment. Suarez is similar in style to David Villa, slightly less accomplished, and can play behind the striker, out wide or just off a number nine - and would therefore suit Torres perfectly without the Spanish international having to alter his game. His compatibility with Torres is just one of the reasons why Damien Comolli has made Suarez his number one striking priority and further discussion between Liverpool and Ajax could be taking place later today (Thurs) although this had not been confirmed late on Wednesday evening.

Youve got to remember torres had only played in spain when we bought him. he wasnt the prolific world class striker he is now, it isn't the most competitive league and we paid a high price for him. so why you saying this about suarez. risks need to be taken.

KNOWITALL. YNWA {ed's note - the Spanish league is one of the top leagues, you are insane if you are comparing the level there with the level in Holland! The Dutch league is poor at best.}

(come on fella, your missing the point. torres was unproven both domestically and internationally. alex ferguson didn't bother thinking he wasnt strong enough seasons before we were interested. (thank god). but we took a risk. someone who scores that many goals not just in league but internationally has got to be took seriously.

KNOWITALL YNWA

{Editor Note: Torres wasn't prolific because he was played on the right in a 4-3-3 formation for a lot of his time at Atletico Madrid. Most of the time he got around 20 goals a season I think and he rarely played in Europe.}

Obviously surez only gets as cheap £18-£20 mil. If the owners can't come back and make this kind of offer this means we will never get him at all. because in summer many teams will be looking for strkers. and there aren't many quality strikers around. look at what sundurland payed for Bent.
It is very good that they are trying to get the best possible deal, but if they think that £20 mil is overinflated for Suraz then they were never serious in investing high on a quality striker, they are looking for bargain buys, these kind of situations never come around too often. how many transfer markets do we have to wait until we find a real partner for torres. in every transfer market, the strikers we are going for seem to be too expensive for us.
you don't buy a club in crisis and expect it to be self sufficient on day 1. when you buy a club like liverpool, and if you want it on the top again, you have to allocate a real budget for rebuilding the squad. If Ajax didn't reveal what we bid, we would have thought liverpool bid £20 mil and that the market was overinflated, then we will go on to say our owners will invest, we will get this super star in summer and so on. but now i don't think so. we will probably buy some unproven talent for a burgain price just like a mid table team.
ed for the first time i am starting to think you were right. we never serious about suarez deal. your thoughts on this?

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

I can understand your frustration but I can't see why we are judging NESV so quickly. Our owners have openly told us that they going to invest and only time will tell. I really do have a good feeling that something will good will come at the end of the month.
All I say is lets see what happens before we start associating our new owners like our last ones.

You have to put yourself in Ajaxs shoes, Knock out stages of the CL so if you have to sell your best striker, get as much as you can so that the players replacment is not cup tied.

There is a severe lack of patience among the so called Liverpool supporters on this site, along with a widespread misconception that the average internet poster knows more about the world of business and football transfers than John W. Henry and Damien Comolli.

I'd rather we signed nobody than be held to ransom due to the over inflated January transfer market.

Reality check: Signing Suarez, Turan, Marin, Sanchez, Mata and Adam will not guarantee us a champions league place this season, the same way that NOT signing one or all of the above named players will NOT mean we will be relegated this season.

Therefore, if consolidating this season with the current squad means that we are able to sign four quality players at reasonable prices in the summer, rather than one or two now for extortionate prices than I fully back the approach the Liverpool board are taking.

Rome wasn't built in a day afterall.

Please do not panic that no signings have been made. The fact that Kenny came in a week after the window was open meant in reality the club were only going to have 2 weeks at best to identify targets and put together bids. It isn't ideal particularly as we are in need of replenishing, but I can live with having to wait until the dying hours before players come in, if this is how long it takes.

We all know what sort of player kenny can identify(beardley, barnes and shearer but these were record signings) that is why comolli is in charge of money issues hes just being really shroud business man.

Dont care who he signs as long as thay have been scouted by kenny.

Ive seen alot of lfc fans writing things like [I agree if we don't buy no one its not the end of the world we have already made the best signing in king kenny and also we should not pay over the odds we did in the past and it nearly cost us our club i would love to see new players come but at realistic prices ] i agree with the king kenny bit but come on and open your eyes. u say u would like players coming in at realistic prices, well £20m for suarez is realistic just look at his scoring record, and before people start saying kuyt record was as good, he hasnt scored the goals suarez as scored. its like saying darren bent is the same as fowler but noway is he, he scores alot of tapings.suarez would hack it in any league. and adams £10m is a good price to pay, if he played for any other team then blackpool everyone would say the same. just because blackpool are a small team dosent mean we have the rights to rob them. {ed's note - I think you would find that Adam (note no S) is priced at that amount because he has only had half a season in the Prem, not because he plays for Blackpool.}

Looks like liverpool are getting rid of all the deadwood before making new signings as john henry wants to lower the wage bill:

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

No he doesn't! Henry said that he was 'disappointed' to inherit a high player wage bill AND ageing squad. Tom Werner then explained that the club 'don't want to get the wage bill down, we want it to increase and we have the resources to do that - I just think we ought to be performing at a better level than we had been.'
They are looking for quality over quantity and a younger average age for the squad. Paying more if gives quality and performances improve with it.

If Blackpool rang me up and said were going to give you 10 percent of charlie adam's transfer to LFC, Id tell them to raise the value to 20 million, but then again i am a greedy C**t aswell.

Just a quick mention,

I like the way Kenny is bringing in shelvey, and giving him a decent amount of time to play, not just the 89th minte, and doing it consistantly. We havent seen anyone use the youth like this for a long time. They even get given the whole game where the result dosen't matter, i.e the last europa match or when someone is injured (fair enough) then dropped whan that player comes back. Players like Kelly and shelevy must be loving Kenny as he is clearley rewarding them. Shelvey now knows that he is going to be given a spell in the game reguarly and if he impresses he has a chance at a starting posistion. The last manager that did that was Roy Evans and before that it was KK, again. It must also give hope to other youth players on the cusp of the first squad as now they can see light at the end of the tunnel (and Anfield Grass).

Its good to see!

Let's face it, we will not be able to finish in the top 4 even if there are optimist people thinking that we still have a chance. Here's why:

We are on 32 points at the moment and we still have to play 14 more games, i.e. a chance to gain 42 more points. So even if we win ALL the remaining games, we still won't finish in the top 4 as last season Spurs finished 4th with 72 points.

There is no chance we will win ALL the remaining games so no chance of champions league next season.

We can be hopeful of winning Europa league and secure a spot in the champions league next season but

"NOT WITH THE CURRENT SQUAD"

We need a winger, striker and shape up our defence.

FSG do not seem willing to sign a good striker/ winger in the transfer window. This will leave a big dent in our glorious history.

Get Suarez, Honda, Charlie, Carlton and shape our club's success from here on.

So offering 6 mill for Adam and 18 million for Suarez is over spending? No all I'm saying is offer fairly good money for good players, not silly Darren Bent type money for just an above average player.

You say Darren Bent's fee was silly he cost £18 million he is premiership proven and scored over 25 goals last season.I think he has got about 12 so far this season aswell. Suarez is playing in the dutch league? Kuyt was top scorer in that league for 2 years running? so how do you compare that and get your valuation on Suarez being any better ?

You can look for a good price but as with everything in life basically you get what you pay for. {ed's note - you are talking complete crap, they paid over the odds for a club on the verge of administration, if you can't see that then I fear for you.}

Eds, i don't see how they paid over the odds? Liverpool are always in the top ten in football for revenue, yes man utd are usually in the top 3, but they are valued at over a billion! So i think NESV did get a good price on our club, im not agreeing though that they are in it for the short term but the price they paid was relatively cheap. . Maybe that's why they feel 12.7m is enough for suarez?

Goodwill is what the average profit a club makes x a certain number of years (e.g 10 years in Canada)
So the value of a club is its assets e.g. stadium plus the goodwill. A debt free liverpool could make (I'm guessing) 20m pounds a year so the goodwill is 200 million. . plus the stadium (not sure how much) so I think 300 million was not neccessarily a bargain but definitely not overpriced. I'm so happy H and G got shafted!

"ed's note - I agree to a point, but I don't think Suarez is a good risk, with his problems we could end up with a player who is worthless after paying 18m+ and big wages. Just because a player is young, it doesn't necessarily mean their value will rise."

Fair point but if you score 49 in 48 game in any top flight league then you have to be worth trying out. Maybe he won't suit the Prem but the point was about how much you are willing to pay to strengthen a top 7 but not a top 4 side, horrible but true.

At the end of the day the people in charge at lfc think he's good enough to improve this team (whether we do is irrelevant), so simply on that basis (the player they making the biggest attempt to sign) must be worth more than 12.5 million otherwise why are they looking at people they must think are OK at best, valuing them at that level.

The point gets made that we came 2nd and have only really lost 3 'first' team players since then, but other than Aquelani we haven't spent to replace these players. And there the problems, surely its case of spending on 3 top first team players?

Yes stability at the club is great, but if you don't have top quality players doesn't matter how good the manager is, 'you can't polish a turd', love the saying :0)

A quick thought about Shelvey, I don't get it, he does very little, I know he's very young but last night he was average at best. I do think Maxi and Raul have come on leaps and bounds though which is great (not for Joe Cole though ha), they are seasons internationals and under the right manage were likely to come good.

Agree with ed on this, when nesv came in they did talk about our wage bill being one of the highest and wondering why the teams so poor. They have said about players being worth there wages which a lot of ours aren't. So get rid of the players you know u definetly don't want then get new players in. I don't think anyone at the club is stupid enough to sell these players without buying new in as the squad is already thin enough.
When you hear people at the club saying were not going to pay over the odds its just a warning to clubs that were not desperate and not have the piss took out of us. I do think a couple of players will come in.

Thanks for the reply Blair but firstly if ur giving me one name at least check ur spellings (Ruud van Nistelrooy)
Secondly give me the name of another player who has been a prolific scorer in Holland then has come to england and done the same coz im struggling to think of one !
Van Persie - No
Kuyt - No
Babel - Definetly NO
Huntelaar (i know he didn't come to england but is not prolific in germany and wasnt at Real Madrid) - No.
Just look at the quality of teams they have in Holland, and yes i know we struggled against Utrecht this season (twice !) and i think teams like Bolton, Villa, even dare i say it but everton would be challenging at the top of the eredivisie!
Just an example but kenny Miller gets plenty of goals in Scotland but when he was at wolves he couldn't buy a goal (except for a winner against the manc sh*!e which we all loved !)im not saying they are bad players but we just have to take their achievments with a pinch of salt!
I for one want nothing more than for our next signing whoever it is to come in and be a major success!

ED, are you with me in feeling really disapointed once again of how Liverpool have gone about this trnasfer market.

You don't see Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City or Spurs worrying about the fee of the player they want, they just pay it.

Suarez is a quality player who young and clearly worth the money.

- - -

They "just pay it"? Just a few months ago we were on the verge of administration because the clowns that owned the club were doing daft things with the clubs finances .

John Henry came along and we knew the deal. He wasn't some rich sugar daddy. .he'd buy value players. .

Suarez may be quality but he has to earn a £25m price tag. He's not done it at the highest league level and is therefore a gamble. One of Rafa's downfalls was his poor transfers. However, he was forced into taking a gamble with some players as we weren't able to financially compete with Man U & Chelsea.

Charlie Adam has only done well at Blackpool. He was hardly a hit up in Scotland. That's a gamble too and you certainly don't pay over inflated prices for such a player.

You need to trust John Henry and Co with THEIR money. It's not even LFCs money you want them to spend.

How easy it is to shout we need new players. think about it. our squad is to big you don't need more than 18 players. The players at the moment are good players the problem is they don't work together since the arrival of kk you can see the fighting spirit has returned well it was there wed night. if we can reduce the wage bill this will increase the funds available. No more than 18 players playing together regular, then only buy one player a season to improve the quality.Squad rotation is only a means to keep players happy it happened with milan in the 90s. you can never keep them all happy. If their not in the first 11 then they should be for the future or get rid of. To many new faces will only upset the team

MOAN MOAN MOAN. Getting fed up of hearing so-called fans griping about lack of Transfer activity.

Regardless of who we buy or don't, we have a team capable of finishing in the top 6. Which after a disasterous season is nothing short of a miracle.

Don't forget we are barely months out of possibly the darkest period on and off the pitch for the club.

Stop sh1tting yourselves and just back the team we've got.

It was always suggested that new players may have to wait until the Summer.

Stop blubbing like little b1tches! (As Andy Gray would say)

So offering 6 mill for Adam and 18 million for Suarez is over spending? No all I'm saying is offer fairly good money for good players, not silly Darren Bent type money for just an above average player.

I personally don't want Adam anyway we need a defensive midfielder and striker, I don't think he'd get a start much, what's KK going to do not start Stevie?

Not sure why you don't agree Ed, surely if we offer say 75% of the selling clubs over inflated valuation, rather then 50% then everyone's happy. Ajax don't actually expect to get 25 million but you aim high and be happy with the compromise.

Suarez is 23 even if he didn't work out, for £18-19 million we would still be able to recoup that as he's still young, just sensible 'risk and reward'.

Basically we HAVE to buy a striker as Torres is prone to injury, 4 transfers windows now and all we have done is sell 4 strikers, you've got to see that's bad business. Not the new owner fault, but something they need to remedy. {ed's note - I agree to a point, but I don't think Suarez is a good risk, with his problems we could end up with a player who is worthless after paying 18m+ and big wages. Just because a player is young, it doesn't necessarily mean their value will rise.}

Jovanovic and Konchesky seem to be going and it looks like we'll be getting nobody to replace - - I know they have been poor but id rather have them until the end of the season than not replace them at all

Ed, what I can't understand is, when NESV took over they clearly stated they would be willing to pay big money for players who are young, quality and provide years of services to the club.

Suarez and Adam clearly provide this, so why are they not coming up with the cash?

I think they are a joke to be honest.

All that talk of saying we will listen to the fans

Well hear this NESV! !


WE WANT SUAREZ AND ADAM! {ed's note - if they really listened to the fans we would be back on the verge of admin within the month! It is this kind of stupidity that has destroyed club after club, fans wanting the dream chased instead of a well run club. Stop looking short term and try looking at the next ten years. Your way we would be doing a Leeds, their way we will be challenging at the top.}

I think the expression is "It's a marathon not a sprint". We are not gonna win anything this season, the very best we could hope for is CL football, but even that is doubtful. Why not wait, consolidate, get a good run going and then buy big in the summer. We will get Suarez and Adam then, and not pay nearly as much money for them then.

MOAN MOAN MOAN. Getting fed up of hearing so-called fans griping about lack of Transfer activity.

Regardless of who we buy or don't, we have a team capable of finishing in the top 6. Which after a disasterous season is nothing short of a miracle.

Don't forget we are barely months out of possibly the darkest period on and off the pitch for the club.

Stop sh1tting yourselves and just back the team we've got.

It was always suggested that new players may have to wait until the Summer.

{ed's note - this is about the future of the club not about a few people laughing at you. I would rather not buy anyone than pay over the odds for a player just so you can stop people laughing at you! The bids we have made have been plenty to pay for unproven players, any more is ludicrous. Adam has had one and a half good seasons, Suarez plays in a league of the level of the SPL, neither should be valued much over 5m. There is no intention to sell the club, but there is also no intention to mortgage the club's future to mollify a few 'fans' that think the clubs future is not as important as them being able to show off about a big name signing.}

****************
I'm convinced NESV own this site. . Suarez only worth 5m. Now I'm laughing!

Time will tell with NESV, but if I owned LFC, I would have stumped up the cash for a decent winger by now - don't say none available Ed - we haven't really tried. I still maintain we were ever only serious about Suarez & Adam (or slightly serious judging by the ridiculous bids). {ed's note - I agree with you in that I would have gone for wingers. But I trust in the King to know what he wants and why.}

If the King doesn't think Adam is worth 12 million and Suarez worth 20 million then that's good enough for me. Why do people think they know more about players than Kenny? Why do people blame NESV for failed bids? You should not be paying more than a players worth. Stick with Kenny, he'll sort it out.

I can see this window being a nightmare. Kenny will do us good on the pitch, but it will be like last night. A bit of struggle with a bit ov luck need with a lot of fight and determination. I was 1 of the ppl wanting to babel gone. But I'm afraid it will make kenny's job harder no1 to replace him. He was a good super sub, terrible to start but got the goals from the bench. We don't seem to have these players that get goals from the pressured games. Mirelies will become a star I think. Would I be wrong in saying I can see that I can see a bit of alonso in him. But bit more attacking. And movement. Ed is it true that alonso hadcome and said that he regrets leaving? And he would like to come back? {ed's note - I have not heard those quotes sorry.}

"they paid over the odds for a club on the verge of administration, if you can't see that then I fear for you."

Seriously they just bought the debt of the club, for around £280, when Forbes valued Liverpool FC at £530m when we were apparently on the verge of administration.

The value of the players, Anfield, Melwood etc far exceeds £280 million, if we sold all the player you'd be almost there. Torres, Gerrard, Reina, Kuyt and Glen Johnson alone would have been worth near £100 million.

I'm sure Forbes know more than both of us, the club still carry's a small amount of debt anyway, £60 million apparently.

The profits as they are now we are not paying interest is around £50 million, so profits assets £530 million even looks a little low.

That wasn't my point anyway, it was that still have no spending, power and clearly if we can't pay good money for good players that has to be true, whether you or I like. Which believe me I don't and bloody love this club. {ed's note - so you want them to overspend just so you can feel better?}

You might blush a little when they sell it next year (without spending more than 300m) for 600m to some middle east investor. .

Are you an accountant Ed? A house gets repossed and bought by an investor for what is owed to the bank (which can be peanuts). The investor then resells it at market value and makes a big profit. You are very naive. Youngest Ed?

LFC is worth more than 300m. H&G got screwed as a house owner gets screwed if he defaults on his payments. {ed's note - utter rubbish. H&G screwed the club and you are talking about this without knowing anything about how NESV operate. This is a boy's club buying something for pleasure, that is why they have not sold the Red Sox, even though it is worth more than they paid for it now.}

i never posted what you answered to ed but i understand what you said but you say try looking at the next ten years if we signed suarez for 20million its a sound investment over ten years.

nesv said them selfs what sort of player they were looking for young, potential etc etc.

most of these sorts of players don't come cheap so there comes a time when they have to back up what they say. its ok the youth players to buy but they have the chance to buy suarez 23, young, potential could play in the team for ten years. {ed's note - for an unproven player that might turn out to be complete kack and we would be stuck with on big wages.}

Does anybody else have the worrying feeling about Suarez? Buying players from the eredivisie is always a gamble as the quality is about as good as the scottish premier league (which is not the best). Yeah he might be banging the goals in for Ajax but why on earth would anybody pay £25 to £30 million for him is just a joke.
Just because man titty paid a barrowload of cash for dzeko does not mean that every other team is gonna pay the big bucks for players!
If the lad really does want to go then why don't Ajax wise up and do a deal because we all know a player that doesn't want to be there is just a distraction for the club, the other players and the fans just turn against them so in the end nobdy wins !
all in all i do think Suarez would be a good addition to our team mainly because we havent got any other strikers and there aren't really any other decent strikers around at the moment so the choices are pretty limited.
just hope its not another false dawn for the loyal fans of the mighty reds as we have had our fill of them over the past few years! !

Baseball comp diff from football? Why is that Ed can you only pay big mOney for baseball players?? It's money you need to pay for the better players in sport. Iv got 1.00 mill but I need to travel in little 2 door car, shall I get a little 2 door Astra or shall I go for the farrari? What will the Astra bring? What will the farrari bring? The nice red horse will work like a horse! And bring me a good amount of money wen I decide to sell, the Astra is cheap will work ok ish and will bring little return wen selling.the horse will get us there in style. The Astra taking risk a risk if will get you were you want to go for a few years! It's the same in everything in life Ed u get what you pay for unless you build / produce yourself, {ed's note - what are you talking about? Do you not understand what that deal actually is? They don't pay transfer fees in baseball. That money is his wages and bonuses over the course of the contract. I am not sure how long his contract is, but that amount will be spread over the length of his contract. Whereas in football you have to pay X amount to buy, then you have to pay X amount in wages and bonuses. Baseball teams also have a much higher income than football teams, due to playing hundreds of games a season. You just can't compare the two in any way other than that NESV are happy to spend the money that the team makes for itself.}

Hi fellow reds and Ed;

Rumor; NESV looking to start building a new stadium in 2012-13 after Nenry refused the idea of a ground-share. This comes after it emerged that spurs will land the Olympic stadium after the games.

I'm very confused. .

We're selling all over the place. .what do we do when injuries hit us, as they always do? play reserves vs the likes of Manure, Arsenal and chelski? and then we're loaning a lot of people out too!

i don't see what we can do unless we reveal the biggest coup in transfer history by signing 5 amazing players and announcing on the last day. . is this a case of under promising and over delivering? whats your take ed?

{editor: Baseball is a completely different ball game to Football.}

For starters 142 million dollars is roughly 80 million pounds and with the fact that most states in America are twice the size of our entire country that means that instead of liverpool whos population is like 1.5 million plus other fans wouldn't even compare to the fans of a major league baseball team.Stop comparing what they spend in America to what they spend here I am sure when they took over they gradually made the red sox a competitive brand and not just threw countless millions at it hoping everything would work out.They look at everything and spend within their means.Suarez would be a good buy but I wish people would stop thinking he is the be all and end all of our season.Look at Hernandez for man utd I would like us to get a player like him he is amazing what a buy can't believe we didn't make a strong move for him.Suarez and his agent along with Ajax are pricing themselves out of a move as far as I am concerned they can keep him id rather play the youth up front as they are 3 times the player that Ngog is.

Before bashing NESV for the lack of movement on transfers, people should look at Chelski's efforts to bring in David Luiz from Benfica. That deal has dragged on for much longer than Suarez', and now Benfica make it known there are other interested clubs. In both cases the selling club are simply trying for more cash. Can't blame them for doing it, but I similarly can't blame NESV for not playing ball. If a deal can be done for a proper price, great, otherwise forget it. Anyone ever considered the possibility the KK or Comioli don't rate Suarez as highly as some on here do?

You can look for a good price but as with everything in life basically you get what you pay for. {ed's note - you are talking complete crap, they paid over the odds for a club on the verge of administration, if you can't see that then I fear for you.}

Eds, i don't see how they paid over the odds? Liverpool are always in the top ten in football for revenue, yes man utd are usually in the top 3, but they are valued at over a billion! So i think NESV did get a good price on our club, im not agreeing though that they are in it for the short term but the price they paid was relatively cheap. . Maybe that's why they feel 12.7m is enough for suarez?

Chris

{editor: £300m for a club on the brink of administration is a lot. It is only because of the cowboys quoting £800m for the club that it seems low.}

I understand re the ex yanks and their valuation, but including paying the debt, roughly what did NESV end up paying? And if you compare that to prices of other TOP clubs, for revenue, fan base etc, i still think it was quite a low figure, just my opinion.

Chris {ed's note - how is the price for other top clubs of any relevance? You are looking at it all wrong, the value of a business is based on its turnover over a period of years added to the value of its assets. But then you have to remember that Liverpool was a business on the verge of admin with huge unsustainable debts (which is basically what they bought the club for) and a desperate need for investment in the main asset: the stadium. The value of the club should really have been no more than it was when H&G bought it, but the debts they had racked up meant the cost was far higher.}

I would just like to say i carnt believe were not going to put a decent bid in for suarez as were lucy that a player of that quality even wants to come to liverpool at the state the clubs in at the moment and i love liverpool as much as every one on this site but we need to strike while the iron is hot our end up falling to far behind the pack as we are already to far behind we need to take risks that is what life is about wat u think ed

We will sign no one in January. Kenny has stated as much on SSN today. January is a notoriously difficult market to operate in becasue clubs do not want to part with their best players at this time. Adam is a case in point.

This late in the window how are clubs supposed to find a suitable replacement?

Hopefully we will see some activity in the summer because as we all know, it is sorely needed. Last night's game against Fulham testified to that once again.

Reminds me of when Bryan Robson was at United, everything was about him, as soon as he went the titles followed.}

YOU ALL (INCL. ED) SEEM TO HAVE VERY SHORT MEMORIES. WE WOULDNT HAVE WON EITHER THE CL OR FA CUP WITHOUT GERRARD. HE DESERVES TO BE CENTRE OF ATTENTION, HE'S THE BEST PLAYER WE HAVE, AND CAN TURN A GAME IN SECONDS. I DONT SEE ANY OTHER LIVERPOOL PLAYER SINCE RUSH OR DALGLISH THAT HAS THAT ABILITY.

Owners simply don't have the money to make top class signings this Jan. The sold Bable to reduce the wage bill and pay for Roys compensation. I seriously pray the prove me wrong and will happily eat my words if they do.
They are not decisive in decision making. They dragged the feet on sacking Roy which they should have done in December. The only reason they sack Roy was because of the low turn for matches.
We tend to forget that even when we sold Macharano the enforcer, we stuck to our gones on the fee we wanted.

Im sorry, as i doubt this post will be very popular, however lets all face reality, its true
Everyone was all happy when NESV came in 'Oh they have the highest wage bill in the NBA . . They paid the post money for a baseball player . . . . .' So of course we where all rubbing our hands . . fantastic!
But really what have they done? Nothing
When you come to a club and see them in such a sate, its obvious investment in the squad is needed, and to be quite honest offering £12.5mil for Suarez, im suprised he still wants to come, that is such an insulting offer! I agree Adam is not worth any more than £6mil MAX, but Suarez!
Even all these rumours with Elia and Honda . . nothing has materialised
So much for Comoli being a transfer market genious!

It makes me laugh people saying get your Wallets out NESV, the prices getting mentioned for players is a disagrace, Ajax and Blackpool are asking for money that is double what the players are worth i don't see any news outlets reporting that they are trying to rob liverpool just that we don't want to pay stupid prices and its an insult. Its a bloody insult some of the prices being quoted!

Again I will say its so sad if this is the new breed of Liverpool support, after all the rubbish of in-fighting, leaks left, right and centre about whats going on within the club, two clown owners who couldnt agree on anything a power hungry MD and a horrid manager in Hodgson we are finally starting to settle down and all i hear is moan moan moan if i wanted to hear that everyday i would get back with my Ex but not from supporters who are known around the world for being Fantastic has the past three years under the clowns make us all bitter and sour, I would like to think not. Yes we need players, Yes the team needs improvement but i would take the slow measured approach of NESV over the nearing Administration of H&G. How many times we say Rome wasnt built in a day but some of you just don't get it why so much Anger?? 6 months that's all NESV have had and people already jumping on their backs. We are not Chelski or s**tty that's God for that, I would not like being s**tty so they spend millions on players who don't work out and ship them off for half the price where is good business in that, I want my club run properly so i can sit with my Son watching liverpool and i hopefully one day with by able to watch with His son, but we won't have that if we act like s**tty as who will buy that club when the owner gets bored?? where is their future going?? same with Chelski when their Russian gets bored then what? people need to grow up and realise Liverpool is about the Future, the present is dissappointing sometimes but the future is bright and if you are that stupid and short sighted to relise that then you are probably supporting the wrong team!

Its a disgrace that the Blackpool manager who says that Liverpool does not respect the value of their player yet he applys double standards holding up the players career for his personal financial gain who is showing respect

Aw come on man. If the shoe were on the other foot and Barca were sniffiing around Torres would you really be concerned about his career? I very much doubt it. Holloway is doing what is right for his club and I for one have no problem with that.

NESV are NOT with Liverpool for the longterm they saw and chance and bought us remember no one had heard them attached to us till near the end.

Although the debt has gone we still have no spending power why oh why didn't we wait for someone like Qater. . .

Those who are saying Charlie adam is only worth 4 Million I think is a little harsh. The guy single handedly destroyed man utds midfield the other night. He range of passing and delivery of a ball were top class , I feel a bid of 6-8 million for a player who is proving his worth in the premiership isn't a bad buy at all especially if we paid 6-7 for lucas , 3-4 poulson. Charlie would bring much needed depth and cover to our MF although double figures seems over priced I feel 7-8 million tops would still be a great buy. He also wouldn't cost very much in wages as blackpools highest earner is on roughly 10,000 a week. If this is Charlie adam double or treble them wages he is still a very low paid Liverpool player. Whats your thoughts ED? {ed's note - I think the point is that we have other areas of the pitch that need strengthening more.}

Honestly its indefensible they are under valuing our club. They got it maybe 60% of the market value and are carrying on in that vain.

If they think Adam and Suarez are GOOD enough to play for the team, (certainly Commolli, Kenny, Tom and Henry all think some players we have aren't) then surely they have to pay good money to prove this.

What I mean is they think a top class striker for Liverpool fc in 2011 is WORTH £12.5 million, when a top class (?) striker to Villa is WORTH £24 million. Its obviously not that important to us to have top quality players.

It to do with what a player it WORTH to a club, not necessarily what a player is actually worth.

If Torres get injured we are screwed.

You can look for a good price but as with everything in life basically you get what you pay for. {ed's note - you are talking complete crap, they paid over the odds for a club on the verge of administration, if you can't see that then I fear for you.}

Some of you may not like this! !
1) Personally I do not think Adams is anything more than a good squad player for Liverpool, plus we are not desperate for midfielders at the moment. I would not buy him.
2) Although it would be nice to have another striker, I also do not think that now is the right time to buy one. We need to give the younger lads a chance. Pacheco is close to being ready and there are other options from within the club.
3) I would invest in a world class central defender, capable of winning all headers, playing good solid football. . in the same mould as Alan Hansen.
4) I would also leave Johnson at left back, when he goes forward from the left and cuts in towards goal, hes on his stronger foot for shooting. Hes playing a lot better in this position now.

I WONDER IF THIS FAN WATCHED THE MATCH LAST NIGHT.
JOHNSON ISNT A LEFT DEFENDER AND ITS CLEAR THAT KK DONT TRUST AURELIO/ KONCH IN THAT POSITION.
KUYT IS NO WINGER AND NEVER HAS BEEN.
MAXI IS NO WINGER AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I DONT KNOW WHAT HE IS.
POULSEN HAS THE QUALITY TO PLAY FOR FULHAM NOT LFC.
ITS VERY SIMPLE WE NEED NEW 4 STARTERS.AND WE NEED STRENGHT ON THE BENCH ASWELL.
IN MY OPINION WE NEED SUAREZ AND A LEFT DEFENDER, WE DONT NEED ADAM NOW.

REINA
KELLY
SKRTL
AGGER
?
JOHNSON
POULSEN(REPLACE IN SUMMER)
MEIRELLES
GERRARD
TORRES
SUAREZ.

I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED ADAM WHEN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TEAM IS PROBLEM.
SUAREZ PLAYED FOR AJAX COMING FROM THE LEFT VERY OFTEN AND IS A WORLDCLASS PLAYER.
MUCH BETTER THAN MANY ED'S HERE ARE SUGGESTING.

"If we do not get anyone it is not for the want of trying." tell me if im wrong ed but if we did have the finance why are we bidding 12.5m for suarez and 4.5m for adam that is just laughable, unless kk means we have finance of under 15m so we are trying to get classy players for peanuts when in truth we can only afford lower league players. ed not sure if u posted how much do u think adam and suarez should cost, my figure for them both is £26m-28 what do u think ed: gezza1982

Did anybody see the Blackpool game the other nite? Charlie Adam is a good player but nowhere near the player that the loony Holloway thinks he is! yeah i'll admit he was decent for the first half but in the second half he was a passenger like most of the Slackpool team! He could hardly run then his passing which i thought was his best asset just went awol! if he was in our midfield he would only give more work to Lucas, Meireles, Gerrard or whoever else would play with him! his fitness levels are questionable and for the mad ranting Holloway to want £14 mill is just a joke but hes valuing him at wat he thinks which to him is probably right but to the real world its a gas! Adam would be a sub to bring on at best for a club like ours and i personally think that £5-6 million would be over the top but the very top end anyone should pay! as for old whisky nose down the m62 saying hes worth wat Holloway says next time manure want a player king kenny should come out and say hes worth triple !

I am all for bringing in the younger players from the reserves and Kenny is doing a superb job. The reality is we need pace, width and a striker. To fail to sign a winger in this window is frankly appaling. Name me when we last had a good winger in the team! FSV get your wallets out or feel the wrath that is coming your way.

editor im agreeing with u that comolli has found great players but credit is due to harry redknappy aswell. if he didn't work with them then those 2 would be remember as the 2 bad signings from comolli

{editor: I get your point. But, surely Kenny has better man managment skills than Harry Redknapp. Sure he has made poor signings and good signings for the clubs he has been at. I am sure that it will be the same with us, no one can get everything right.}

Let's face it, last night was a hard fought but lucky victory. I tend to think that if Roy had still been in charge, we would have succumbed to the pressure and maybe dropped points in the end. When on the attack, some very good passing was mostly marred by a below quality final ball. Also, when the attacks broke down, the resulting loose balls were mostly picked up by the opposition. Positional awareness of the midfield needs to be improved. Let's hope that happens against Stoke.
One more thought . . The Dutch press is saying this morning that if Suarez leaves Ajax, they will go for Bas Dost of Herenveen, who has just been called up to the Dutch under 21 team, (has scored 7 from 17, started mostly on the bench). Feijenoord are also reported to be interested in him.

I think the appointment of Kenny was a clever decision as it gave us the lift we needed when even relegation was looking a possibility but I don't think he is the long term answer.
We certainly start off in a more attacking formation than we did under Hodgson but we seem to lose our way at some stage of every game.
Kenny's use of substitutions is very limited and doesn't seem to involve attacking players. Surely Cole should have come on for Maxi last night.
When we were hanging on at the end why didn't he slow things down by making a 3rd substitution?
We seemed to be in a constant state of panic during the final 10 minutes and Fulham were unfortunate not to get at least a point.
I think 7th will be as good as it gets this season.

I thought the dark days were behind us when NESV took us over, but nothing has changed we are still useless in the transfer market selling players and not getting in reinforcements doesn't make sense and that's the big difference between us and the Top 4.They identify transfer targets and get them even if they pay slightly over the odds they get the players they want and don't settle for 2nd and 3rd choice players just because they are cheaper.

>And the problem Liverpool have is that we have been paying "slightly over the odds" for average players for years.

Everyone knows it and it has to stop now or else we will never be able to afford all the quality that we need to get back into said top 4.

If we pay £25m for Suarez and £12m for Adam then other teams will be looking to rip us off in the summer too.

I would gladly suffer a January transfer window with no incoming players if it sends out a message that Liverpool are now a sensible buying club again and leads to us getting value in the future.

Editor's Note: A club should never buy just for the sake of it. I guess you have given up on the youngsters, but I would start using them sparingly. I still expect a player or two to come in.}

No I haven't given up on the youngsters, but the fact that they are hardle included in the squad and when they are they never seem to get played, OK Kelly has been brought in which I believe is fantastic I'd play him everytime over Johnson and Spearing in now getting 1 or 2 games, Shelvey will hopefully replace Poulson and Lucus but if we need someone who can work with Torres why isn't Pacheco or Suso given a chance. It would have been ideal to give Danny 15 minutes at the end of the wolves game. So far from me given up it seem Liverpool FC are not comfortable with them otherwise we would play them. Ed if that's the case why is every one saying we need new players which takes me back to my first point who else is out there. Back to you Ed!

{editor: Sorry different ed now. I agree that we should bring in some youngsters. Kelly and Shelvey are starting to get chances, Kelly is now a regular. I think that Suarez and Pacheco are similar players which asks the question, why do we need Suarez? Pacheco has some experience in English football, albiet in the reserves league. I would sign a left winger until Sterling is old enough though.}

Embarassing - Liverpool fans coming on here like spoilt little brats, sadly a symptom of the FM / CM generation - real life ain't like the game guys now get real.

The management made the best move this window - ditching Roy Hodgson, yes Comolli may be a fault to in some things but we are only speculating as NO-ONE is privy to what is really going on that comes on this site. Also if we remember it was stated by John Henry it would be the later part of the window if we were to do any business.

Last night we dug in, it won't be like Wolves every week and remember that was a heavy playing surface on Saturday, you wouldn't back a horse that had run on a heavy track to win again a couple of days later, plus we missed out on a cracking goal early on because a MALE linesman didn't know the offside rule! :(

Yes a left winger, a left back and another scorer would be nice but look at our games, all the teams above us bar Chelski have to come to Anfield - we have 14 games (42 points) and taking 28-30 points from that is not a fantasy.

So wise up LFC supporters and lets see how we can progress under Kenny Daglish

Dalglish quote on SSN

"The finance is there. Everything is in place but it's difficult to get players out of other clubs at this time, " said Dalglish.

"If we do not get anyone it is not for the want of trying."

For me the right approach, i'd prefer if we didn't pay inflated fees for players like we have done in the past. Some comments suggesting we should just pay up surprise me. If we pay the asking prices for Suarez at £22m reportedly and £12m for Adams then what will we have to pay next time we go in for someone? Id rather wait till the summer when theres better value for money. There aint no quick fixes in football!
and ppl please get off comollis back, he has only been here 2 mins. at least wait till the transfer window closes before judging.

I know that NESV don't want to pay over the odds for players and I agree, but there must be other players out there at a reasonable price who can improve the team, a winger, LB or partner to work with and help Liverpools/ Torres style of play. Second choices maybe but 12M - 16M could bring in at least one highly rated player if not 2. What's your thoughts ed and who would you suggest?

Things are looking bleak, but i still believe we win snare something before the winter jan window closes.


But what are your thoughts on adam eds? I think he is a good player, that we have no need for. . seems to play the gerrard/ meireles type role in midfield which is not really needed, and the way lucas is developing our midfield looks quite solid, i would agree if adam was around 5 mil but we would be crazy to pay 12 mil on him when he may not even start in our best team.

Commoli is seeming like an idiot. . could have blown our chances of landing a world class player in suares, which we need if we are ever going to get back into champions league contention.

{Editor's Note: My view on Adam is that he is not going to be any more than a squad player. Shelvey will go down the pecking order and I see higher priorities elsewhere.}

The owners clearly have the best intentions, they want to take us to the top but, they've learned a hard and valuable lesson this transfer window. If you want to buy quality, you're going to have to pay more than you thought.

I don't think we'll sign anyone, but Charlie Adam is more of a possibility than Suarez.

Let's not give them any stick if we make a profit this window, would be disappointing but I think a lot of problems was Comolli's fault. Need a CEO to help us in these problems because Comolli clearly is not good enough from what I've seen.

He has stated that Gala are not looking to sell Arda at present but is looking forward to see what happens in 6 months time.

Also said that Arda still has 2 years remaining on his contract and wants to remain at Gala until the end of this season.

Can anyone confirm these reports from Sky ?

"look how quickly the bent deal was done ."

The reason the Bent deal was done so fast was because Villa paid way over the odds for a player that is only slightly above average. Reality is he's really worth no more than about 12-15M. NESV/ FSG are taking the right approach not to give in and pay over the odds. Adam is worth no more than 5-6M and Suarez is worth 15-18M tops.

An excellent game in every sense of the word. A very good first half from Liverpool with some excellent short passing and one-touch stuff. Second half was like watching a cup tie! Fulham threw everything but the kitchen sink at Liverpool in persuit of an equaliser but the Reds - although reeling at times -held firm. Man of the match for us was Miereles - seems to be getting better the more he gets used to the Prem.

It's amazing how three weeks makes so much difference. The passion and desire is coming back.

Maybe £12.8m is an appalling offer for Suarez, but Ajax's valuation of £35m is equally appalling. Ajax need to sell the player, which should force the price down, not rise £5m a day as one report earlier today supposedly had de Boer saying.

{Editor's Note: Ajax want the contracted buy out clause of 35M euro not £35M.}

Liverpool are showing restraint and control, something that will help them in future dealings, help bring down the valuation of players, and help lower players' wages.

If people aren't pleased with NESV and happy to have them as our owners, there really isn't pleasing some people. Don't buy just to buy, buy the right player at the right price.

If they don't sign anyone at all then nesv will lose alot of trust from the fans, not all but alot, if they don't sign anyone good but sign players still, then only a little trust will be gone for them, then if they fail to impress in the summer transfer window then most of the trust for them will be gone i say about 90% of the trust will have gone, they best hurry and sign and no dead wood
**************************************

if anyone loses trust in NESV if we don't buy anyone, they are mad. NESV will not be held to ransom in the January window, and nor should they be. And I would rather buy nobody than buy Poulsen, Konchesky and Carlton Cole. Buy the right players at the right price (not any player at any price). Some fans are getting a bit impatient and greedy. Suarez and Adam are rip-offs at their quoted prices - I would rather nobody came in at those prices so we can spend what is needed on the best players in Summer - LIVERPRES

We could do with a couple of players. No doubt about that. Don't know who was MOM but mine was Johnson tonight I thought he was great. Skrtel worries me at times, he goes for things especially in front of the box and misses. Agger doesn't suffer from that type of panic. Agger v Johnson and there was only one winner but Skrtel seems a bit unsure. Kelly a bit indifferent he needs to cut crosses out that's my biggest critisism but he wins headers all day long and puts good balls through especially under pressure. His crossing is very good. Kuyt? I don't know. He puts a shift in but is that what we want? Maxi similar. Gerrard stinks. He is coming to the end. He looks for the exquisit pass for me because he is Gerrard. I don't think we need him for balance. Meireles has turned into a stormer. The free role suits him but we can't have him and Gerrard as Gerrard seems to hate sitting. Poulson very average. Went missing quite a bit. Lucas better balance but if we have 2 strikers we have issues on how to play as Joe Cole and Gerrrard/ Meireles will suffer.

Ed what do you think?

Spriggo {ed's note - Poulsen is dreadful, too slow, passing is weak, he has to be replaced. Skrtel is another weak link, his defending is just not good enough, he scares me with just how recklessly he makes challenges at times in and around our box. Kuyt is the other one that is struggling, he just doesn't offer anything other than graft, I think we could do better, Johnson for instance. I do worry about Gerrard, he ball watches when the opposition has the ball, that has always been a weakness, but now he no longer seems to have that magic on the ball he once had.}

Went to the game tonight. . nothing to write home about. One or two decent performances ; Meireles, Kelly, Reina and Johnson played well, as did Jonjo when he came on. Was hoping to see Joe Cole at some stage for Maxi who looks a bit of a passenger sometimes. And, to me, a lot of promising play comes to nothing because of Kuuyt's lack of skill.
If we get Warnock back we should deffo stick G.Johnson at wide-mid (pref. right) but, having seen the B'pool game last night I truly think we should get Charlie Adam. . . . . . I spent most of the game trying to picture him in tonight's line-up and I couldn't see a down side. His work-rate and vision would help Gerro and Meireles no end. A midfield of Adam, Gerrard, Mereiles and Johnson would equal anything else in the Prem and with Kelly, Agger (or Wilson), Skrtel (or Carragher) and Warnock (or Aurelio) in defence we would have a decent chance.
From tonight's game it's obvious Torres needs a foil. . a top-class partner. Once or twice he found himself waiting for support which never came. I can't bang the Suarez drum 'cos I've not seen too much of him but I do like the look of Hulk, Llorente and the young lad Lukaku. My personal preference would be Andy Carroll but he comes with a reputation (like Suarez) and he's injured.
I don't profess to know a great deal about European players (apart from the obvious ones) and I would love it if there was more British talent about. However, it would seem that we do have to look at glam players from "that there abroad" because these are seen as "marquee" signings which sell shirts.
My old-fashioned opinion is that we should always look closer to home at first. I'm not the manager and I've given up hope of ever making the transition from Network Rail to the Premiership but I do think that if we get sucked into the "F.I.F.A. Manager game" approach to winning stuff we'll become like everyone else. I've always prided my support of Liverpool on the fact that we are different. We are classy in so much as we have never had the "loadsamoney" attitude in the way that so many Clubs have nowadays.
If Charlie Adam, Steven Warnock and Andy Carroll had lined up for us tonight I'm positive we wouldn't have spent the last 20 mins hanging on for dear life.
All British and all attainable. Other gettable Brits are Cahill, S

As we're all crying out for a speedy winger why not save the 6-8m earmarked for adam and make a bid for wallcott, might cost between 10-12m but a better option than buying adam as for a striker i no he's been mentioned before but i was well impressed with lavezzi when we played napoli, bit of a grafter like tevez i think he'd be a good partner for torres, 1 last point i pray to god we don't sign ashley young one word sums him up-s* t.
Paul

Paul, are you a bit off the wall?
Why would Wenger sell Walcott for only 10 - 12m.
You'd be talking double at least before he'd even think about it.
On another note, thought we played some great stuff at times again tonight.
Only for the final "backs to the wall" few minutes which is to be expected to be fair.
Come on, remember how fragile the players confidence still is so we were clinging on due to nerves mostly.
We still won which is the most important thing.
We have a long way to go yet, that much is obvious but once we get a winger or 2 & a striker or 2, a dominant centre half & left back i think we'll see us back in top 4.
My choices of new signings for beginning of season 2011/ 12:
Hangeland / Mertesacker (CB)
Promote Jack Robinson / Armande Traore (LB)
Honda & Turan / Ninis / Hazard (Unrealistic) (WG)
Llorente & Aguero (Unrealistic) / Suarez (ST)
All wishful thinking i suppose but here's hoping.

Im pretty sure they know what there doing. they wouldn't sell 2 players (babel and maybe jova) that play in the positions we so desperatly need players for UNLESS they knew they were on the verge of signing someone. surely? AJ

if they don't sign anyone at all then nesv will lose alot of trust from the fans, not all but alot, if they don't sign anyone good but sign players still, then only a little trust will be gone for them, then if they fail to impress in the summer transfer window then most of the trust for them will be gone i say about 90% of the trust will have gone, they best hurry and sign and no dead wood

I was all up for the Suarez deal but after watching tonights match "live" we need a winger (both sides) big time.

It is evident to see that there is no width in the team. To many times both Kuyt and Maxi are wandering inside. Poor Martin Kelly was left fustrated and GJ (would like to see him pushed up more like Garth Balle on RHS) and Torres is in no man's land. This is a must not marquee

Liverpool Rumours
Lucas just tweeted: Good victory tonight. Let's keep the same attitude for the next games and keep the momentum . I hope I will be fit against Stoke.

He's not leaving, so the rumours can stop.

Maybe if Sian Massey had been running the line it would have rightfully been 2-0

Just think if we had kenny from start and done the double over blackpool not lost at wolves not drawn at wigan had beaten newcastle that's 14 points we shouldnt have dropped so we would be joint second 5 points from top with the players we have now so lets hope we see new faces and kep winning.DORSET RED
Mate nice thought but things don't work like that?
Results affect results? Fatigue? Injuries? Other teams. But yes. If we had king from start we'd be so much higher but I believe in him. We better beat Stoke.
