Looks like Dzeko is going to city. While we get second rate like c.Cole and Honda. Let's admit it we'll never compete with them.

Ed do you think seamus coleman would be a good buy? hes young and i think hes gonna be a wee gem a right sided bale possibly! seandaleer {ed's note - he is a decent player, but I don't see him as any more than decent.}

He will be a great player IMO. Cost 60K too {ed's note - if he was that great he would be playing at right back instead of Phil Neville. . .}

Could say something similar about Bale

Mancs: playing average, sqeeking by and doing enough against the teams they have to beat like us and Arse- nil. Potential Champions I'm afraid.

Citeh: way too inconsistent as is there lineup. Top 4 for sure at this stage.

Arse-Nil: Probably the pick of the bunch if you had to pick a team to pip Scum. Play the best football in the EPL IMO. Would loved to have got Chamakh in off season for us. Runner-ups

Spuds: Playing well at the moment. We should have taken 3 pts off them and since then they've gone on from strength to strength. Think we can eventually catch them for a CL spot. Prediction 5th.

Chav-ski: Looking old. Since we beat them they have aged 10 years. Their run could be over. I expect us to over take them by mid Feb game at the bridge.6th

Bolt owen: Playing nice football for Coyle. Blue collar mentality. Don't expect them to stick around all season but 7th is a good possibility. K. Dav. is awesome btw. old fashioned CF I love watching.

Liverpool FC: The break will have done us good. Health and a few big signings is all we need to have a big 2nd half. Revenge on Mancs and Spuds and 4 points from out capital trip v gooners and chavs will put us 3rd but 4th more likely.

75 points will win it this year.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


Scum drop another 2 points on the road today. They have played 10 home games already and won only one on the road, drawing 8.

Citeh played 10 home games
Arsenal 9 home games
Chavs 8 home games
Spuds 10 home games
Liverpool F.C. 8 home games

Better things are around the new year corner. YNWA

Harry 5 I can see your glass is half empty were as mine is half full ie win are 2 games in hand we are only 5 points off 4th
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Just because we have games in hand does not mean we will get points from them. I see it as a loss to blackpool and a draw to fulham!
Do you remember wigan and stoke. everyone was like arhh yes theres 6 easy points there. But ohh no we got only 1 point!
i used to always think positive before. and when ever we have had games in hand in the past i would think always that we will have 3 or 6 points more. ie: in the past. . arh we'll be 2 points behind arsenal in 4th if we win our two games in hand. but when they come around and weve lost them both then you will think again. the older you get you realise that games in hand are never a certain 3 points.

i like your optimism, but ive been let down so much in the past with games in hand that now i simply think. . wait a second if we lose them were F U C K E D! !

I would be very happy with Honda and Gervinho. .both stood out at the World Cup - can't judge them on 1 tournament, but I saw enough to appreciate they would give us quality creativity up front.

Hope C Cole not true though, as I don't think he offers anything different to NGog.

I think you can rest easy, mate. Hodgson was quoted today (LFC site) saying that Liverpool's January targets would fall under two categories: young gems and players who can make a big immediate difference. I don't know about you, but I don't believe I'd put Ol' Joey into either category.

Editor if we were to sign gervinho, i would assume he would play on the right wing and not striker. And with gerrard coming back, who would be playing in centre mid? Meireles / Lucas / Gerrard? I would have thought our priority would be to sign a LEFT winger and to allow gerrard to play right wing with lucas and meireles in the middle. Gervinho signing just doesn't make sense. Would much appreciate your views Ed thank you {ed's note - I would think he would be employed as a partner to Torres myself, Roy will never play Gerrard on the right.}

If we win tomorrow we go level on points with BLACKPOOL going into january, now Hodgson keeps saying that the supporters have to be realistic about were the team should be in the league! He has TORRES GERRARD REINA CARRAGHER JOHNSON AGGER ETC at his disposal, how he can roll up to press confrences and defend his own corner with that argument is beyond me? these players would walk into most top teams in europe and to have us MAYBE on level points with Blackpool in January is a sick joke! Salvage some pride and admit that the job is far far to big for you and walk away with your head held high. Keegan did it with England and was respected for it. Your a lame duck who's on borrowed time.

I no that Carra has not been the same for the last 18 months but when i am watching him you always no that he is going to give 110 percent ok he aint as quick but he has never been the quickest anyway and ok some attackers have turned him inside out that's why we need the like of agger to play along side him, i would have carra in my side even if he was 40, he has a footballing brain jusy like sami hyypia had and he was never the quickest either but he was in his head. Carra is a shell that everyone liverpool signing should be moulded into, passion 100% on the pitch and lives and breathes liverpool football club and not interested in the money, unkile certain players in that squad and we all know all they are.

GET OFF CARRAGHERS BACK, it happens to us all we all slow down when we get older but we also get more experience, i would have Carraghsr captain over gerrard anyday.

R.I.P Avi Cohen my thought and condolences go out to all his family and friends

Evening all, not to pour hot water on rumours on a rumours site but if like everybody seems to be suggesting Hodgson looks like staying until the summer then do we really want to be buying players in jan for large sums of money on big wages when we have no idea who are next manager will be? Hodgson couldn't find his arse with both hands and when we finally send him down the road he could have left us with 2 or 3 more poulson konchesky type signings leaving our next gaffer trying to move them on whilst trying to bring in his own buys which would put him in an even more difficult position from the get go. We have all more or less written this season off so don't let this CLOWN loose with any more of are money, bite the bullet carry on with what we have and leave as much money possible for our incoming manager UNLESS NESV already no who this is and are consulting him on his jan targets for his arrivel next season? Can't see that one though can you ED?

So - was given PS3 and Fifa 11 for Xmas. Been playing as Liverpool manager. First job was to ship out the deadwood.
Out went: Babel, Ngog, Johnson, Konchesky, Poulsen, Cole, Kyriagos
Sent out on loan: Eccleston, Ince, Ayala
In came: Taiwo, Micah Richards, Turan, Negredo.
Switched to 4-4-2 and played attacking football.

Was top of the PL - 17 games in. (Although I did get beat by Birmingham (WTF?!)

How hard can it be Roy - if I can do it? LOL

Been to watch swansea v Barnsley today. And for those recently who have said about Adam hammil coming back. Waste of time I think, decent championship player but no premier league player. Nathan dyer and Scott Sinclair much better players and they don't even get a mention so forget about hammil.

Our main aims should be to sign honda

but we should also aim to sign
nzogbia
stephen ireland
scott parker
SWP
santa cruz
ronaldinhio
elmander
bentley

we should get rid of
aquilani
ngog
poulsen
lucas
babel

the above players will never help us win the league even if they have improved we need a fresh wipe out with players who are proven in the prem but are being used to warm up seats.


however we will not sign all of the above obviously
but nzogbia will definately be one and a bid will be made for ireland

watch this space LFC LTP

Hiya ed, im not a huge fan of the traditional 4 4 2, as its nots used all that much these days, away teams usually play one up top and have the extra man in the middle, so the home team is normally out numberd in the middle of the park anyway. 4 4 2 vs 4 4 2 and the better team will normally come out on top, so good managers got tactical and started re-arranging formations to stop the better team coming out on top. i would like to see a 4 3 3, that when defending will form a 4 5 1. this being said i don't think a 20- 30m pound forward is needed. would like to see some winger/ forwards, honda, gervinho are names being thrown about, even hulk, who can play in a 4 3 3, as opposed to a big target man. as after all for spain, torres is the target man! i would like to see pace and a little skill and vision around him, with the midfield 3 of mereiles lucas and gerrard dictating the game, torres has stated in the past how a, villa, silva even mata around him is how he likes to play.
a young forward like a van wolfswinkle would be a great signing as he would not expect to be playing week in week out but would be a different dimension when brought on. if Llorente was signed then playing gerrard, mereiles or any one else in midfield is pointless if the long ball is gonna be pumped up all the time.
just wonderd what your thoughts were ed? {ed's note - I don't see that it matters what formation we use so long as it suits the players we have and is played with the intent to win the match.}

I would not be happy with Carragher in the side next season. No pace, hoofs the ball all the time. Fouls all the time. Come on don't live in the past, in fact he hasn't been the same player for 18 mths. I respect the guy , but he is no longer good enough to be in a side looking to win things.

Through all this negativity about Liverpool, I would like to spread a bit of positivity! We are on 22 points, Spurs 33 points, but we have played 2 less games than them. I do not wish to be arrogant, but they are both winnable games; Fulham at home and Blackpool away. That could put us technically on 28 points. We are still to play Spurs at home, and hopefully we can keep our good form at home. We also have some very winnable games coming up in the Christmas and New Year period, quite a few of them at home. We have had a winter break, maybe that will help us re-focus.

A few QUALITY additions in January, and if we put a good run together, then you never know. Chelsea are dropping points, and Spurs will also be focusing on CL and F.A Cup.

We really need to win the Europa League. A trophy is a trophy after all!

Keep believing, and remember, we are and always be the greatest team in the world.

Picking up on all gossip and quotes from lfc it appears we shouldnt be expecting more than 2 or 3 players to sign in jan so all those people listing 5, 6 or 7 players are living in fantasy land. Noone knows for sure who is coming in (which is how it should be) on a personal note I hope we sign one really quality player to show NESV intent and one or two promising youngsters. I also hope that roy is told he is at lfc and fulham quality players (no disrespect to fulham) will not be tolerated or signed. Saying all that Honda's name is the most frequent name stated on this site. Does anyone know how good he really is I have only seen a couple of games in europe be interested to know his seasons stats to see what he is like on a more consistent basis.

I think people need to stop posting their favourite XI. It is all about having a great squad. How many times a season does the best XI actually play together? There needs to be at least 2 quality players in each position. Sorry to say this but the money really needs to be spent if NESV are 'here to win', as J W Henry said when he took over.

Hi ed, im reading alot of veiws and rumours at the moment, many people wondering if roy will be backed by nesv in the transfer window, do they trust him with 30m etc. but surely the bigger picture is they are not backing roy in the transfer market, they are backing comolli and the rest on the commitee? so if a player of good value becomes available then he will be signed! just because roy might see carlton cole as the next drogba doesn't mean the rest do. i have a feeling players will be signed that will add the things that currently missing with the next manager in mind, if that makes sense so, that we havent gotta s* t out 7 or 8 players when roy is sacked, and bring in another 10!

Not a rumour but a suggestion how about the forgot man from real madrid FERNANDO GAGO? would be a class addition to the midfield and is only 24 years old!
=================================
I've always been pretty unimpressed when watching Gago play for Real madrid and Argentina. But I suppose he must have something to be able to play for Real and his country.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Gago is not a creative midfielder. More of a stopper and someone who breaks things up.

Not a rumour, but seen a shout for Adel Taarabt. At the age of 21, I personally think this boy will get better. Strong, Skillful, He dictates play, and I understand he is playing in the championship, but if you know your football the championship is one of the better leagues in the world. I cannot state any figures, but I would not think he would cost as much as Jarvis or Brunt. Out of the three I would prefer Taarabt.


heres a figure taarabt is the championships most subbed player.
i don't think hes good enough yet for liverpools starting 11 so don't think we should sign him we have enough bench warmers.
mikey
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Might be the most subbed player, but has started in every game. He has started 23 games with the average time of him coming of being the 74th minute, that is excluding the 5 games he has managed to complete. To me this just shows the lad works his socks off and gives 100% every game. More statistics on him - Games started 23, goals scored 11, Assists 9. Not to bad for a midfielder. Better than what we have at present.

James Mc {ed's note - one thing that I can assure you that Taarabt doesn't do is work his socks off.}

exactly. he can be very lazy at times. i think he gives up by the 74th min lol
he obviously has talent but maybe one for the future.
mikey
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
That could be the case Mikey, just a little thought. But your most probably right. Just hope we buy an intelligent pacey winger that can fit straight into the set up.

James Mc

RH now informs us that this window doesn't necessary have quality players to sign. I would like to ask him when he was in charge at the begining of the season why did he than sign poulsen?

Guys we are only going to sign two players at the most. Honda and a striker.
RH you and your out of dated policies are not welcomed at LFC. We are justing waiting for the end of the season to kick your arse out of here.
I personally think both Comoli and RH are a waste of time and if any body needs to leave our wage bill manageable than these are the two who should be kicked out for doing absolutely nothing positive at LFC.

I don't wanna be a defeatist but after chelsea loosingtonight i can hear them mancs singing "19 times!" next season.

Goodbye to our record. ."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
As much as it pains me to say it, by rights they should have had number 19 a while ago. It was only Abramovich's dirty money flooding into the Chelsea coffers that held them back a few years. I don't know whether i'm sad or happy to see Chelsea self destruct but at least if they win it they'll have done so without buying it.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I can see your point about the Abramovich money. It was this that hastened the rush for new owners at Liverpool. It also meant we had H&G for 3 and a half years.
On the subject of Utd taking our record, Liverpool should have 1 more League title. We got absolutely no help from the FA in 1989 after Hillsborough. Our fans, the players and management were still totally distressed and distraught after attending many funerals between them, when the FA insisted on the season being finished. Not even Arsenal and their former players and fans have ever recognised this when they still talk about that game and the Michael Thomas goal in Fever Pitch etc.
In reality that season 1988-89 should have been called void.

Why are we linked with kids all over again. Liverpool ae always linked with kids and when we do sign them we either never see them again or a new manager comes in and gets rid, i know we have to build for the future but we also need to get back in the champions league so we can buy big players. Lets forget about the kids for now lets buy 25-29 year olds with talent, not kids who may turn out to be ok. look at all the so called kids we have signed and have turned out to be aload of tripe. LETS THINK OF THE PRESENT INSTEAD OF 3-4 YEARS TIME

Not a rumour but a suggestion how about the forgot man from real madrid FERNANDO GAGO? would be a class addition to the midfield and is only 24 years old!
=================================
I've always been pretty unimpressed when watching Gago play for Real madrid and Argentina. But I suppose he must have something to be able to play for Real and his country.

Not a rumour, but seen a shout for Adel Taarabt. At the age of 21, I personally think this boy will get better. Strong, Skillful, He dictates play, and I understand he is playing in the championship, but if you know your football the championship is one of the better leagues in the world. I cannot state any figures, but I would not think he would cost as much as Jarvis or Brunt. Out of the three I would prefer Taarabt.


heres a figure taarabt is the championships most subbed player.
i don't think hes good enough yet for liverpools starting 11 so don't think we should sign him we have enough bench warmers.
mikey
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Might be the most subbed player, but has started in every game. He has started 23 games with the average time of him coming of being the 74th minute, that is excluding the 5 games he has managed to complete. To me this just shows the lad works his socks off and gives 100% every game. More statistics on him - Games started 23, goals scored 11, Assists 9. Not to bad for a midfielder. Better than what we have at present.

James Mc {ed's note - one thing that I can assure you that Taarabt doesn't do is work his socks off.}

exactly. he can be very lazy at times. i think he gives up by the 74th min lol
he obviously has talent but maybe one for the future.

Guys. I did my intern in volkswagen for the past month. And met the directors to recieve a certificate of excellence during my intern. And had lunch with the HR director. I wore my torres jersey ironically. And he enquired if I were an ardent liverpool fan. I replied yes with excitement that I had someone to chat with about football after nearly a month. He explained how volkswagen have invested on the wolfsburg squad over the years and how they are reaping the benefits now financially with foreign teams lining up to sign their players. He came to the point by saying their star edin Dzeko was heading to manchester next month for a deal worth around 37million in total. He also informed me that liverpool had made direct enquiries for Dzeko and hence wolfsburg asked for agger and kuyt plus 20million which was agreed. However City have stepped in and convinced the player's agent and offered more salary and perks than liverpool were willing to offer and hence the deal.
He also told that wolfsburg are maintaining their interest in the liverpool duo and offered a direct swap for Andrea Barzagli and Diego. Liverpool are yet to reply to this offer.
I shall be at volkswagen till the 3rd of january and might come to know about liverpool's reply.



nice story mate, really is. . . but you were wearing a football jersey whilst having lunch with a director from VW, did you have a sit in happy meal from mcdonalds aswell while the car salesman was telling you all the transfer targets.

Well what I have seen of him I am pretty impressed, and his statistics are also impressive. For his value and age, I think he could turn out to be a very good buy. Just my opinion on a possible transfer, which is not to far fetched for January.

How come all of a sudden there is a massive shout for Owen Coyle to become our next manager, no way, we need to think this through. it would be a step forwards it would be a step sideways or even backwards. why afren't we talking about the the like of Guardiola or any other top quality manager not Owen Coyle please, whats he done in football not much. We need a world class manager because we are a world class football club.

Been watching this site for about 3 years now( back when every team posted together) and not normally a poster on here but can't keep reading the same crap SOME ppl write, the negativity and flipincy has to stop, anyone who wants torres gone let alone any of our players makes me sick, if he gets 10 or 15 from now till the end of the season i want to see every one of u eat your hat!
also please stop copy pasting from ssn and the liv website as im sure 99% of ppl on here have all ready looked on it. few things about to day (nice to see it busy again), hodgson says he does't want to see personel leaving yet ppl still rumoring it, makes me laugh!
ppl talk about watchin players on youtube, it is not the best way to base an opinion on a player, check out one for lucas when he was in brazil, now dont' get me wrong i think hes a very good lad and getting better with every season, one for the future! but the ppl who slate him if they saw that b4 we bought him would be welcoming in his signing!

All the player we have signed is ADAM JOHNSON! !
Told yo all he was coming here to us. This rbbish about Man City not selling to rivals is rubbish! if that was the case they would end up with 100 players! more signings to come! !

Please explain why Man City will end up with 100 players because they won't sell to one of there rivals, i can't wait to hear this explanation.

I was highlighting the fact that will keep buying players every transfer window you plonker! !
Do you follow football? ?
mate you seriously making an idiot of ur self, how they end up with 100 players i don't know, plus they only have a handful or rivals, how can you accuse someone of not following football!
please post ed love this site allways read two or three times a day don't know how u keep up regular updates but we all very greatful!
one last thing can we please not base any sortof sucsess in the second part of the season on new signings, (aqua)! its down to the team, and the fans getting behind all of liverpool fc! including roy for as long as he's there!
happy new year everyone!

I also think Owen Coyle is an excellent shout, the way he gets the best out of his players has been nothing but impressive. Not only that but I met Alan Mahon who plays for Tranmere once and he said Coyle was the best manager he's played under in that he motivates the players to the point where training was something they looked forward to and the way he treats players like human beings and how they felt they all had a part to play at the club.

I think Daniel Sturridge could turn out to be an excellent player if we could give him more first team football. When i've seen him play he luked like a stylish type of player with a neat left foot (sumfink we havn't had in a while). I think if we cud get him for a cheap price or on loan with a view to permenant in summer, it wud be a good signing, he also fits in with this new player criteria.

Wat does anyone else think of him?

OK here's the deal, players like Gervinho and Ricky Van Wolfswinkle are not good enough for LFC. They are the Sinama Pongolles and Voronins of football. We need players like Dzeko, Llorente, Suarez or Aguero. World class players is what we need, Lille are not exactly an amazing side and if one of their players (barring Hazard) is for sale they can't be very good

im sorry but the dzeko's, llorente's, suarez' and aguero's of this world will not want to come here we have nothing to offer and that im afraid is the truth

I agree but we should go after better players than Gervinho and Carlton Cole! Now that is the Truth.

If we start settling for players like Chris Brunt then we'll never get back into the Top 4. We need to use our name while it lasts, players like Aguero and others would still think twice of moving to Chelski or Man City when they know Liverpool are interested - a few more years of mediocrity will further tarnish that name.
We need to grab the bull by the horns in January, show that we're back and still a force after this shambles of a year. If we don't buy big and miss out on Top 4 then Torres is guaranteed to be gone by the summer, Reina will also consider leaving and it will cost more and take longer to build a winning team.

Ok, I'm gonna put my biased hat on here & say that Chris Brunt is actually a very good player. I think he has one of the best left feet I have seen in a long time. In fact I would go so far a to say his left foot is every bit a good as Beckhams right. He also lacks pace like Beckham, but it didn't stop Beckham getting to the very top of the game. It's a long time since Liverpool had a player from N Ireland & I'd love to see it happen. Very good at free kicks, excellent crosser of the ball & doesn't have to beat a player to do so.

This is what i think we should do. back roy to the end of the season then see how he has done. if we are in the europa league then back him. if we do not have any european football at all then sack him.
also i do think we have a good chance at signing dzecko with £20m plus babel and agger. we also really need a good LM and honda can play there and he also is a great set piece taker.
i have also been taking a look at the QPR captain taarabt and he looks really good. Skillful, quick and has a good shot on him. could play just behind torres, with torres or again on LM.

It seems most fans want 4.4.2 at liverpool and we need to strengthen to do this.

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

I don't agree with you. . . . . 4-4-2 or any other formation has no meaning if you don't adopt it in terms of attacking intention. . . . .Even 5-4-1 and 5-3-2 can be attacking. . .

You can only be attacking if you use the full length of the football pitch. . . .All the outstanding attacking teams of the season so far (eg. ManU, Arsenal, Barcelona and Tottenham) do that. . . May be ManU are not able to do that due to injury to Valenica and ageing of Giggs, but the method is the same. . . . . .

We don't have the players who can cover and dominate the whole length of the pitch. . . . .

We need a change of ideas and personnel. . . . .We play way too narrow. . . . .

If we start playing wide, then

1. the first player exposed will be Carragher . . .
2. the player who will most flourish is Glen Johnson. .

Anyone fancy Owen Coyle for manager? Has turned Bolton around into a top six side, did the same at Burnley, played decent attacking football at limited clubs (financially). Isn't it time he had a shot at a bigger club? Celtic were after him a while back.
I'm thinking of the Scottish connection and how successful (apart from Souness) managers north of the border have been before with us (but i know it was a boot room thing back then - esp for Kenny not Shankley)

Timmo. . . . .

I don't think we can attact top european managers at present, but an up and coming British Manager who's proved that me can cut the mutard in the premiership with limits resources deserves a shot i think. Hiddink, Frank rijkaard and any others that have been mooted may be put off by the recent turmoil and the lack of Champions League footy.

I've been watching Coyle and he's got the best out of players that have underperformed (Elmander) and goes about his business the correct way.


Any thoughts anyone?

I really hope the links with Gervinho and Honda, come to something as I really feel that both players are great in the attacking third and the type of players we require, both lads are the right age and have attributes that will benefit our team.I just hope they are giving the platform. Being told to play in our own half by our astute manager will not show them at their best.Lets hope the vibes that we are getting concerning both lads joining us are right.

I don't know why people are thinking that Gervinho will not be a good signing. The guy is class and has an outstanding pace. Also has a good ball control. Im from Africa and i usually watch him playing for ivory coast. He can play at the wings and i think if we get honda with him, we will have a better attacking team to play a 4 3 3 with Lukas, Gerrard and Meireles holding the midfield and Honda, Torres and Gervinho attacking. I think Gervinho will be an amazing signing. Cheers Ed, i will appreciate ur comments on this. CHEERS.
FAMOUS {ed's note - I think Gervinho would offer us something different, the only worry I would have would be if he would settle properly. But he certainly has the ability to do well in England.}

Not a rumour but a suggestion how about the forgot man from real madrid FERNANDO GAGO? would be a class addition to the midfield and is only 24 years old!

It seems most fans want 4.4.2 at liverpool and we need to strengthen to do this.

keeper if we can hold on to him is sorted.
rightback give martin kelly a run for rest of season
leftback needs sorting but insua returning will do for now
central defence. shawcross or cahill are options but would like subotovic or kjare in january.
central midfield ok for now
rightmidfield. adam johnson please
left midfield. honda looks to be comeing
striker llorente please

Morning ed, now i know you have your reservations about the commitee that is in charge of the transfers, however i am quite optimistic. if its carried out in the correct way that is! it should give balance, as players will be identified for individual positions, i.e a right winger will be signed to play right wing etc, instead of a player being signed by the manager to fit into his particular style of play. as this is the reason why when a manager leaves or is sacked and a new man comes in, a rebuild is needed. much like villa at the moment, did great under o'neil who played the long ball, now there trying to play football, and don't have the players to do that. roy will be given time after the transfer window to see if he can turn results round im sure, but if he can't and is released, a new man will come in. i believe a manager who has previously worked under those conditions will be the most likely. much like they do in the american sports, they have a general manager and then a head coach. i honestly don't believe a huge name will be looked at, as many don't like interference from the board, rafa as an example, but someone like pep guidiola at barca works well under those conditions. i think a young, up and coming manager who plays a good brand of football, but without the ego of a jose will be top target, a dechamps possibly. nesv are very keen to emulate things being done at arsenal, as there turnover is huge, there wage bill is low in contrast to others, they have a huge stadium and there debts are easily serviced, and there team play great football without ever really spending a massive amount of money for any one player. nesv's policy will be not to buy the finished article of a player for 30m but to buy them before, to nurture and bring on young talent, much like fabregas. yes an initial outlay is required as in order to do this, we need the finance from champions league football. i believe they are in it for the right reasons, and for the long haul, and when and if the club is sold infuture it will be in a fantastic position, and worth maybe treble what they paid for lfc. hopefully the transition won't take to long but im sure in the nxt 5 years we will be a dominant force both domestically and in europe once more!
do you agree with any of that ed?

Liverpool have submitted an offer of £10.7m for Lille's Ivory Coast striker Gervinho.

Source BBC Sport

- - - - - - - - - -

OK here's the deal, players like Gervinho and Ricky Van Wolfswinkle are not good enough for LFC. They are the Sinama Pongolles and Voronins of football. We need players like Dzeko, Llorente, Suarez or Aguero. World class players is what we need, Lille are not exactly an amazing side and if one of their players (barring Hazard) is for sale they can't be very good.

Matthew thompson here I told ALL of you we offered for Gervinho but none of you believed me.
I have sources.
The players I've been told are Gervinho we haven't enquirer about Adam Johnson as he isn't available.
Nor Ashley Young.
Chris Brunt has said he would be happy to make a move but. It will be late in the window as he wants first team football.
No striker has been named yet.
Lastly the secured deal is Honda ( I'm a koptalk member)
My source: Saif Khan. Agent for several players.

Would be shocking if we sign Dzeko. Striker is not really a problem, we have got Torres for . . . sake. If striker is an absolute priority, then we should go for someone like G. Rossi, who is creative and will compliment Torres. Defence and Midfield are the real worries. If Roy is a smart man, he should make Lassana Diara his number one priority (if we can't get him than maybe Montlividio). If we really want to spend big cash then rather than buying Dzeko, we should look at Fabric Coentro as LB is another big issue. Central defence is probably the biggest issue as Cara is not really happening anymore. Huth, Turner or Shawcross are the future.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
CB are fine we have Kelly, Wilson, ayala yeah we need a LB but that can wait till the summer. We need to get some drive back into the team and theres a good chance there won't be a lot happening in Jan. So if we look at 2 players coming in I'd rather LW and CF. We havent been scoring so we need to look at that, and if Roy stops sitting back and inviting pressure hopefully the defence will tighten up. U sit back like that doesn't matter if you have the best defenders in the world you'll still concede.

Why are people talking about signing dzeko . . . .we've got no chance as long as man city are bullying everyone else and inflating the market . . we are going to be mid table for a long time unless some serious owners are found with serious cash to spend

examples of title winners

man utd - always broke the transfer record before chelski appeared

blackburn- jack walkers mega spending

chelsea- need i say more

man city- 3rd at the moment but could well win the title


see the pattern folks

the only exception is of course arsenal. . but wenger has such a good eye for finding an under achieving world class player and get them on the cheap along with a quality youth system its a rare exception

{Editor's Note: So you think we should force the owners to sell to a rich benefactor then?}

Why on earth do people come out with things - I know who we've signed, but I can't say yet, and they will later claim that they knew who it was and say they are in the know.

Do you think that if you name the person - then somebody seeing it on an LFC rumours site would jeopardise the alleged signing - behave and grow up - if you know SAY SO.

Anyone fancy Owen Coyle for manager? Has turned Bolton around into a top six side, did the same at Burnley, played decent attacking football at limited clubs (financially). Isn't it time he had a shot at a bigger club? Celtic were after him a while back.
I'm thinking of the Scottish connection and how successful (apart from Souness) managers north of the border have been before with us (but i know it was a boot room thing back then - esp for Kenny not Shankley)

Baseball teams also play 160 games in a season, not including play-offs so again it is slightly irrellivent talking about the money. Could you imagine the revenue they get with 80 home games a season?

The Augero rumour is getting bigger. Young 22 and wages not a problem to Mr Henry as long as 2 certain fringe players are moved as they cost as much. More to story that the maxi friendship than meets the eye and there have been some closed door meetings over the last few days. back to the top is now the goal and there will be some activity this window that will shake the EPL.

{Editor's Note: The transfer fee and the wages would be a major problem. If there have been meetings with Liverpool, that would be an illegal approach for the player.}

Hi Ed i had listen that Lucas Biglia want to leave Anderletch, he is a very good player and i think that this is the moment to sign him, you consider the posibility? He is better than poulsen and leiva, i think

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I am a Liverpool fan but before that I used to be an Anderlecht fan. Although I moved from Belgium many years ago, I still keep an eye on Anderlecht. Tiote, Kompany, Van Den Borre and if you go back a few years Radzinsky, de Bilde and Babayero all graduated from Anderlecht. However, there is currently no-one on that team that can help Liverpool short term. Just to illustrate my thoughts, Jovanovic and Jelle Van Damme (ex-Wolves) made the jump this year from Standard Liege and Anderlecht and both failed in the EPL. Lukaku is certainly a prospect, but I don't think he is the answer to any of the problems we have right now. And as far as our Lucas goes, he is miles ahead on Lucas Biglia even if he is a very good player for Anderlecht.

To equate a 'baseball signing' of $148 million over 7 years .

In Premier League terms that would be a transfer fee of $50 million plus a $5 million signing on fee with wages of $250,000 per week over a 7 contract .

Of course , the earnings of 'The Red Sox' and LFC are different , but one can look at the work NESV do in Boston and take heart from there commitment to team investment .

Ed for a Liverpool suporter you are very pessemistic.People Saying Aguero is on his way Dzeko could be coming. Llorente and Suarez are being lined up and as a Liverpool fan u should say it would be super if they came , but you are like no not going to happen don't thinkso. We all didn't think Meireles would come or even think he'd be close to showing up but he did. Tell you the truth. FSV will fund who ever they think will improve the squad. How do I know because in the Washington post they had Chelsea arsenal utd Liverpool and city and 3 players they would like to buy in the window Liverpool had Dzeko Young and Cahill.


By the end of the window one of Dzeko. Suarez or aguero will be at Liverpool

{Editor's Note: I don't think it is pessimestic to say that I doubt that all or even any of Aguero, Dzeko or Suarez will join the club in January.}

Have faith. . Ed also said a couple of months back that RH would be gone! ! But that focker is still hanging about. . . Just hope that NESV get who they want and we'll sit back and keep guessing coz I don't think even the ed's know whats about to unfold.
Ozdave {ed's note - Hodgson is here because Rijkaard and Pellegrini were not considered suitable to take over, otherwise he would have been gone and replaced by one of them}
