Gents, Try this one on for size. . . carra isn't good enough any more, the panic-smash it game is long dead and should be left to stoke players, gerrard hasnt been on the pace for two years, lucas isn't good enough if we want to progress, the young lads (kelly apart) are worthy of mid table championship teams! and we need at least four quality first team starters if we have any chance of getting in the top six next year, other teams will strenghten like they have done the last four years and comoli needs to earn his money and get us some stars the money is there but we need to get it right this time. . .Thoughts

Firstly I think Laurent Koscielny proved the panic-smash/ row Z approach still has it's merits.

As for finishing in the top six next year, are you serious? With the nighmare season we've had we're in that position now.

The weaknesses in the squad are there for all to see. As has been the case for some time I still believe the spine of the team is very strong but we seriously need to look at the width of the team (even more so with Carroll leading the line).

I agree with you on the width but are telling me we should be playing kick-rush just because our centre forward is a monster? caroll is very good with the ball in to feet and with two attacking midfielders (suarez and hopefully not kuyt) we should be looking to play forward not hoof forward

I'm only back from Spain so if someone could update me on these 2 questions, i'd be much ablidged.

1) Why have the Ed's got 00's? Are they audictioning for the new James Bond movie?

2) What players did The Great Macca, say we were after?

Blair Mayne YNWA

Ps. I met Xabi Alonso in Marbella Ed. And he said is there any chance of you paying that score you owe him? {Ed001's Note - we wanted to make it easier for you lot to tell us apart and it also makes it easier for us to set up automated features for ourselves. Ps I am pretty sure he is the one that owes me! Oh and Macca said Adam, Young, Marveaux and Benzema.}

Ed- have you heard anything more on N'zogbia coming to Liverpool in the summer and was there any concrete contact for him in January? {Ed002's Note - Nothing concrete at all.}

Liverpool are close to agreeing deal for Asian cracker 'Pop Pudom' described as a crunchy character, he will make a great addition to the table.

You should've seen it. Rafa came out all guns blazing with a brand new metaphor - this time relating to blankets and cold feet. Afterwards he said it would be his dream to manage Liverpool again and then proceeded to slag the press for the rest of the interview.
Quite a sight. Personally, I'd have him back if he learned to be less controlling. The job he did with the Academy was absolutely top-notch and I think the stress got to him last year which caused our poor finish. But, with Kenny going the way he's going and a massive queue of ex-players lining up to take a coaching job, I can't see him coming back anytime in the near future.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Just managed to find it on youtube. I'm similar to you mate, when roy was in charge or if he still was, id love to have rafa back. I think he'd probably do better in the transfer market this time round with the addition of comolli. That was the only thing that annoyed me a bit with rafa, he was pretty inconsistent in the transfer market.
I never got chance to see kenny at liverpool properly due to my age! But i love the passion he shows on the touchline when we score. And i think theres some good times ahead with him!

Thanks
Stu.

HI everyone it looks like sissoko will be a liverpool player the coming season.My question ed is have you seen him play because I have not and is he pool material? second of all I do not think signing Benzema will do us any good he is not that good. I am an admirer of Bojan and think he will be a fantastic addition to Pool he will give us more options he is very skillful and is clever too.


hibsylfc {Ed001's Note - I am not entirely sure where you get the idea he is defo coming? All he said was there was contact with the club, which was last summer.}

It is absolutely imperative that we make a move for Ever Banega. The man is a class act. He has all the ability of Xabi Alonso, coupled with the ability to carry the ball almost as well as Iniesta. We must somehow get this message to Kenny. We currently lack a player who can literally define our style of play. I'm sure you will all agree that since Xabi moved on, we have no real play style. Can anybody tell me what our style is? Under Kenny, we have begun to pass and move again, which is why surely we should be looking for a ball player. I have been looking around for a while now. This isn't an opinion formed after a couple of games. We need Ever Banega to improve every facet of our game. I've also taken into account the players we currently have, Lucas to mop up. Banega to feed the ball to Stevie. We can also lose Lucas for Banega and push Raul intothe further position. With Suarez up front, his ability to turn on a dime, needs thos balls fed with precision. Come on lads. Anfield stand up. Make it known that Ever Banega is the man for us Reds. Opinions?

There's a rumor floating about that Gary Neville retired after the end of the transfer window because he heard that there was a possibility that Andy Carroll may be fit to face Man Utd. Also heard that Vidic picked up that second yellow so he could miss the liverpool game for the same reason. That Andy Carroll is one scary man

Was in egypt watching newcastle v liverpool in dec andy carrol destroyed skrtle that day skrtle is a bottler and just useless and again against west ham made another joke of himself people go on about wingers its our defence is a chambles this should be our first priority any 1 agree

ha , my bf wouldn't be too happy ed001.

Farewell to you and the other Eds for a couple of months, you already wished me well in my gcse's which i am very grateful for. Oh and macca better be right about who lfc are going to buy because i have put a bet on lol. Anyhowz, farewell and hopfully things will be looking better with the new players in the summer. Fingers crossed with turan'. Great site btw ed, forgot to mention that'.

Melbourne! {Ed001's Note - cheers and good luck again, I hope it all goes well for you.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 22:09:35
Ha lfc fans and eds.

I don't know if you have picled it up but i am a 16 year old girls who just happens to prefer edd001 lol.

Ed, what about sterling, will he become a great player or is more of an aoron lennon type?

Melbourne! {Ed001's Note - Sterling has a bit more about him than Lennon at this age, he is not just quick, he has great ability on the ball. It was you that said it? Damn joking about getting a Valentine's card off you is not as funny when you are a girl!}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 22:02:54
Arr very good Ed001. Just for everyone to know Ed002 has a lot of European knowledge of footballers, but before anyone says anything he isn't Comolli, possibly Ed002 has a deeper knowledge of french football!

And just for the record for all LFC fans, please do not ever mistake this Bob for the plonker on the main banter page.

Whilst on this page i'll always hold people's posts with respect and reply in kind. No hidden motives and certainly never any wind up's.

My views on the LFC page are my honest views. Just wanted to clear that up. Treat my posts on the main banter page as the over the top, exaggerated rantings they are intended to be.

Does anyone know what the chances of andy carrol playing on sunday are?

i heard hes definatly going to be on the bench but he might get the start he started training with the first team this morning {Ed001's Note - Vidic being out must have increased his chances of starting.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 21:52:50
{Ed002's Note - Sadly your message was picked up by me, but don't worry I really don't mind you having a crush on Ed001. Kelly looks a natural and is playing with maturity. A real pity that he is injured. I expect him to continue at right back, or right wing back, providing cover for centre back if needs be. Coady is still a way off being a regular in the first team - looks a good prospect though.}

oh ed. it's such a shame your a chav fan (i think that's correct?), you've got such a wicked sense of humour!

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 21:45:10
D001, i don't know there just seems your more likeable than the other eds no offence to them, yes i love kelly aswell, I have liked him since his cl debut and i think kk will make him into a great player but ed001, were do you see him playing in the future, at rb, cb or rw because he has great crossing ability? P.s, my brother thinks coady will become a legend.ed quick note

Ed002, ha that actually made me laugh, i just prefer ed001, no need to be jealous'(i joke), i think your the chelsea or man u edd, not quite sure though, what do you think of suso, do you think he can be as good as xavi or alonso'? {Ed001's Note - Suso has the ability to go on to become a legend of the game, as does Coady, that lad impresses me in midfield. Not much cop at centre back though, he lacks a bit of positional awareness for that position. Ps thanks for the Valentine's card last month, I was wondering who sent me that particular one ;o)}

Arr poor other Ed's! Now we all know who Ed001 is, the mystery is who is Ed002.

Very knowledgeable on French football in particular and knows the inner workings of transfer dealings. I had him nailed on to be *******, knowing him not to be a supporter of LFC, but favourable towards Chelski. Yet he threw a curveball in a recent post by referring to LFC as "we". Writes in the style of ******* and has a very dry wit. He once famously quoted a very funny comment from the Lyon President who said "we have one price for clubs and another for the English"

Am i close Ed002 or just way off?

I dnt understand while liverpool haven't played Glenn Johnson as a winger yet? Look at other teams in the prem tottenham and everton: bale and Coleman have been massive success and really effective this season. They both are wingbacks by trade like Johnson so if we return to a 4-4-2, Johnson on the wing? What you think ed?
The kid {Ed001's Note - because we don't play with wingers as we haven't got one for the other side of the pitch.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 21:06:29
Ed001, you have always seemed the wisest and yes i think you support lfc. Do you think KK will make us a side like arseanl, possesion and pass and move?, i love watching arsenal in my spare time, i wish we played like that. Oh nearly forgot also, what player do you most rate in our team?. My favourite is agger, really good on the ball and scores really good goals. {Ed001's Note - wisest? I have been called a lot of things on here but never been called wise before! Kenny created something special on his first time around, it was attacking football, full of flair and fantastic to watch. It wasn't really like Arsenal, there was more bite and fight in the side, it was much more balanced. But I do expect him to get the team playing good, watchable football. Personally I like Kelly, I think he has something special about him, he has real ability and pace, just needs to sort out the injury problems.}

Ed, gervinho, m'villa, benzema, turan, payet, enrigue, horau. Could you write yes or no to each of them wearing a lfc shirt next season mate? {Ed002's Note - There is no way I am going to get sucked in to saying yes to anyone and then get all of the grief that goes with it, so as an alternative, in my view: possibly, maybe, no, unlikely, maybe, possibly, possibly.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
ED i am not one of those to give you grief but i honestly think we have a genuine chance of getting Turan. Not grief just want to know in your opinion why you don't think he will sign? please comment . {Ed001's Note - because he is simply not in amongst the first choice targets.}

02 Mar 2011 20:48:18
{Ed002's Note - My opinion is Gervinho or Hoarau as a possible striker. I can't get in to any discussion over what the definition of "main" is, but it is reasonable to assume there will be four or five signings of first team quality - many of which are discussed on the se pages, so I recommend reading the posts and the replies.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

What are the se pages, and don't worry about the stick people give you when you try and tell us what you know those are just dricks who would never say this stuff to you face. I was also wonder with people we have been linked with who do you want to come to the club of the maybe's and the possibly's

{Ed002's Note - Well from what one person says Young, Adam, Benzema are on their way. I can't see Benzema myself and Sissoko and Payet are better than the others, and available, in my view. I think both Hoarau and Gervinho would move if the opportunity arises.}

I know people say Ashley Young goes missing in big games which is fair enough, but big games have never been our problem. We always seem to raise our game no matter what players we have or the circumstances against the big clubs. It's the lesser teams where we struggle and need help with. I respect people saying Young is over-rated but as I just said if he goes missing in big games it won't generally matter because we tend to step it up however IMO we need a player like Young to help us break down and beat lesser teams.

02 Mar 2011 20:30:58
ED, were interested in Bojan and i think we will pursue it however i don't rate him in the Pl'. He has tremendous skill but he doesn't have the physical aspect to his game and is very short and he looks like he will turn out either a good' striker or a very good player'. He is not a player that would be any improvement on suarez or carrol and i fear his fee would be pricey' Ed, would you agree mate?

Melbourne! {Ed002's Note - Broadly speaking I agree.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 20:31:16
Dunno if I could play at CD with a person like Carra. I have never been his biggest fan, yes he is committed, but not sure what gives him as the own goal king, the right to shout at everyone.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1) He is our vice captain
2) Somebody has to organise our back line, in recent years our back four has been perfect at keeping a good defensive line and catching players offside.(wouldnt have happened without him)
3) Most importantly the lad is a die hard liverpool fan, do you shput in anger when we make mistakes?

Dio,

I don't know whether you're aware of the importance of a strong ref in a game like Sunday's?

If you think Dowd is a good ref, perhaps you didn't see the Merseyside Derby?

Like i said, he never seems to give us the run of the ball and if you are playing the top sides the slightest thing could swing the game your way or away from you.

The rub of the green is vital on Sunday. We won't get this with Dowd. The free kicks in dangerous areas won't go for us etc.etc.

You can never get all the decisions, all the time, but with Dowd there has always been an issue with him giving us nothing, regardless who we play against (spurs away in 2009) never gave a pen when Voronin was floored.

I know this isn't really the ideal way to support my theory but it's an example of what i mean. But i could mention who was the ref for the league cup final last year when Milner was hauled down and a certain red was never shown. . . . . . .

Catch my drift? These tight decisions swing games, who the ref is, is given more importantance than you may think

Ed i really hope kenny uses the youngsters next season because we have a great bunch of talent , out of the following which could you see in the first team next season?

Coady
suso
sterling
flanagan
robinson
wisdom
toni silva
ngoo
amoo

( i hope suso , coady ) sterling bit too young still.

my worry is we are gonna be buying in the summer but i hope these youngsters still get games. what you think ed? {Ed002's Note - I don't see any as first team starters in the league - a few will get occasional chances from the bench. Coady is probably closest. A run out for a few in cup competitions as well.}

In my opinion macca is Steve McMahon. Sounds quite reliable usually.

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:36:37
Hi all and eds,
What do you reckon to this list of players in and if not agree who would u have instead

1) Turan
2) Sanchez if can get him. get him
3) richards
4) adam
5) aguero unlikely but try to get him to prove intent.

Pleaselet me know what u think ed who u would change, if any and who if would change {Ed002's Note - There is a chance for Turan and Adam seems likely. I don't know about any interest in Richards and Sanchez and Aguero will not be moving to Liverpool.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:36:50
Not really a rumour, but I'm just wondering why everyone is saying Ashley Young saying he aint good enough to wear the shirt or ain't the answer but Arda Turan is?? ?
For ne the kid has played in the EPL for a couple of seasons and has scows some stonkers. On top of that has an outstanding cross with both fit and appears to be quicker then anything we got at the mo barring maybe Raheem who has a phenominal turn of pace. .
Where as (I ain't got nothing against him) Arda has never played in the greatest league in the world. Has no experience and also is very 1 footed(right). .
For me sgn another English player and watch the kid prosper under our new regime. . . .

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:19:30
Ed how does the 25 man squad thing work again , cause im just working out if we got rid of certain players how many we could bring in and also bringing the youngsters in , if we want to use suso sterling coady etc will they need to be part of the 25 man squad? {Ed001's Note - anyone under the age of 21 doesn't count towards the 25 man squad.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:21:20
Would Yann M'Vila be a signing that would significantly strenghten our squad, Ed? {Ed001's Note - he would be an improvement on Poulsen and he plays the same position, so yes.}

Yes, but has he got the potential to be the next 'Patrick Vieira' or is that just media hype? Basically, what I'm trying to ascertain is whether he will be/ become a key player in our starting 11 if signed.

(Sorry I haven't seen him play but if Real Madrid are interested than he must be half decent) {Ed001's Note - I haven't seen him play either mate.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:23:01
ED, Mata or Pablo Hernandes {Ed001's Note - are you asking which one I would pick? Probably Hernandes if that is what you are doing.}

Dowd has been confirmed as the ref for Sunday's showdown. I'm not a fan of Dowd whatsoever, i find him to be very anti Liverpool and we never seem to get the rub of the green whenever he is in charge.

On the other hand i find him to be more than generous towards manure. I posted the other day that of all the ref's i did not want Webb, Clattenburg or Dowd.

Webb will not be officiating Liverpool for a little while yet and especially against manure. Clattenburg will not be given manure for a period of time, which left Dowd, Atkinson and Dean as the only candidates.

Atkinson would have been ruled out just by his appointment for last night's game. Mike Dean is the only other Ref who isn't fazed by giving decisions against manure.

It had to be Dowd, didn't it? I suspected as much last week

stop your moaning please. dowd is a good referee . im glad hes the one for sunday.

Ed what do you think of moussa sissiko and yann m vila {Ed001's Note - to be honest I know little about either, I have not seen them play much myself.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:13:11
I appreciate we need to sign good squad players who can really bring something different to the squad but do you also think we should be looking to bring some pace to our team as we have very few players who can beat players for pace

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 19:00:33
Nice one for the reply mate. I suppose all we can do is wait and see. Personally i think no news is good news. Sorry for wasting your time. Can i ask what you think of Wickham i heard that he is a liverpool fan ive watched him quite a bit my uncle is an Ipswich fan he told me the intrest is there. I think it would be an expensive gamble that might pay off, but i think we have enough i reserve. On the topic of youngsters who from our youths do you think could make the grade. Stirling Amoo Coady Robinson. Also i hope tom ince gets the finger out and stops listining to daddy.

Quigz {Ed002's Note - Wickham looks good, certainly at Championship level. The club has a lot of youngsters who look like they will make the grade - perhaps not all at the club. Amoo and Pacheco could well move on, but there is certainly a lot of talemt there right now.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 18:43:13
This should be our team next year
Reina
Kelly Carragher Agger Baines

Mvila Adam

Gerrard Meireles

Carroll Suarez
Subs:
Gulacsi, Richards, G.Johnson, Young, Benzema

Bit narrow but there is alot of depth to play johnson and young on either wing and benzema would be a amazing coup highly doubt we will get him though i prefer lavezzi but I don't think he's big enough i would also buy chambelain and wickham who are englands next big thing!

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 18:41:04
Macca from talksport? {Ed001's Note - he got something right, that immediately disproves any connection with those bunch of conmen on talkshhhhhh.}

LOL

Keysie and grey, bloody hell ah! wish someone would tell richard what the controls in front of him do.

Claude Makelele, is french, connections to comoli?

{Ed002's Note - Ed001 is not available to reply. However, he was giving his opinion (as he clearly stated "I think he is more likely to leave than stay right now, unfortunately.") It is not practical to ask for an Editor to rationalise his opinion in such a way. There has been a lot of discussion on the subject already and I can't see any further benefit in trying to did down further.}

Appriciate the reply but how can you say that it is not practical to ask an editor his opinion i just want to know why he could say he is more likely he has to base that on something maybe a source. He could have said he didn't know. I realise this has been taked about before but the majiority of this site is people posting the same stuff over and over. If the editors don't like being asked there opinion why become an editor on the site in the first place or why offer an opinion if you don't want people to question it. Im not trying to be difficult i actually thought i asked a valid question.#

Quigz23

{Ed002's Note - You mention "sources" again and this is exactly the question we want to avoid. He gave an opinion and that was clear from his response where he stated "I think ..." - perhaps the question would be more valid if he began "I understand ..." or "I am told .."}

I am by no means a football expert a la Hansen however is it just me or is Skrtel just not up to the job? I have never really been convinced by him and feel that there is no way he could become the leader at the back. . With Carra reaching his twilight and Agger seemingly injured all the time I really think we need a new A grade proven centre back in Sammi's mould. Any thought's on Skrtel anyone? Tobiwan

*************
He's Liverpool's top defender on Fantasy football - Hmmm, maybe this explains some things. . our top striker is Carroll!

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 18:30:48
Hi Ed's,

Just like to start by saying, i hope the Kenny and Clarke era continues past the summer, i been watching all the games of late and i think its obvious by now if we bought in some decent wingers (especially with the arrival of Carroll) we would look a totally different dimension. Its one area of the field which has cost us points this year, and many years before now. Watching Dirk bust a gut is brilliant, but lets face it, he isn't exactly the future of Liverpool on the wing, more of back up to Suarez and Carroll i think. It just frustrates me as i have had a season ticket for 11 years now and it just seems the same old same old. I hear Macca talking about Young and Marveux. Young for me is totally over rated, and even though he has a year left on his contract, so does Turan. I know who id rather see. And i just don't have much of a feeling about Marveaux. It could just be another Mark Gonzalez. I hope im wrong! Hate to sound all gloomy, but on the positive side of things i think 2 players with pace on both wings would increase our position in the table next year. Adam Johnson and Arda Turan in my opinion would do nicely. What are your thoughts Ed's

Adzii

Adzii {Ed005's Note - I agree that the wings need strengthening. And I don't think Young is the answer either, I would prefer Turan and he is desperate to come, but I don't think we'll get Adam Johnson. Marveaux would be decent business for me, he's versatile and he comes with no transfer fee and his wages wouldn't be massive. We can't just think about the starting XI, we have to build a squad also and be prepared to play different formations.}

I absolutely agree about building the squad. This was just a opinion ive had for many years now that we lack width. I hope your right about Mareveaux, ive seen bits of him and he looks okay. Im not one of those people that says 12 players out, 15 players in. However if we did cash in on the N'gog's the Poulsons and all the dead wood id like to see investment in 3/ 4 top quality players as apose to 6/ 7 medioka "squad" players. Its not about Quantity its about quality.

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 18:23:25
{Ed002's Note - Macca has already put his cards on the table for the summer.}

Not really, hes only said 4 players that are close to completing, i expect at least 2 more signings, a DM, a defender and possibly another winger

{Ed002's Note - I am sorry you are disappointed - we'll tell him not to bother in the future.}

>> lol i know it's not a rumour but that comment just made my day ed!

I have always liked him. No nonsense hardman type. He was never the greatest, but I though he was getting better each season. However, this season he has lost the plot. Not sure why.

Dunno if I could play at CD with a person like Carra. I have never been his biggest fan, yes he is committed, but not sure what gives him as the own goal king, the right to shout at everyone.

Hi eds, just a general question, as juve are looking to bid 17 mil for an un-happy mascha, would you bring him back to Anfield for that? And would you like to see him back? Cheers lads (please post in rumour)

{Ed002's Note - I am not convinced they are interested in him. I would have thought he burned his bridges when he left Anfield last year.}

Alright, cheers for the response Ed002. I know its probably to early so say, but talking on the subject of defensive midfielders, what do you think of Ever benaga? He looks quality and is still young. Cheers again.

{Ed002's Note - Banega is a fine player, but I think M'Vila is more likely.}

Ed what do you think of comolli becuase i don't hes done much exept show intrest in everyone who is french and the french team isn't strong anymore {Ed002's Note - Have you forgotten about Suarez? As an aside I warned against Comolli when he arrived and would personally be very wary of him and his desire for power. Knowing what happened at St-Et I would advise Dalglish to keep a watchful eye on him.}
*****************
Don't really know too much on the Commolli story other than he wants to transform us into a french team from a spanish team. lol

Ed, question though. St Ettiene are having a v/ good season and have some exciting young players. Can Commolli be credited with this?

{Ed002's Note: No. Most of his players left although a couple remain in the reserves.}

02 Mar 2011 10:23:19
Ed, may I ask mate why ashley young is top priority mate for a winger. He's 26, no commerical revenue brought that a turan' would bring, can't get onto the england team etc. Ed, are we buying young as a Short term' solution until sterling and the youngsters come through because that is that only thing that makes sense? {Ed001's Note - because he is the player they have decided will improve the squad for the right price. Remember his contract is up next summer too.}


Yawn Yawn Yawn! Will ever a day go by without a dozen mentions of Arda Turan - the Turkish Messi, Maradona and Pele rolled into one.
Am I missing something but please explain what commercial revenue he would bring in a country where he is virtually unknown except for readers of this site. He is only 18 months younger than Ashley Young and his transfer fee would probably be the same.
Yes I know that there were rumours that Dalglish had watched him and recommended him but where is the proof?
Day after day people extol his virtues on here but as I cannot remember any Galatasaray matches being on tv for the last few years in this country all as I can think is that there must be hundreds of you travelling to Turkey to watch him! Oh I forgot to mention you would be disappointed as he has only played for Galatasaray 3 times this season!
Silly me I forgot about youtube and Fifa 2011!

Harry J

*****************
Compared to what we have and had (skillful pacy player wise) over the Rafa era, I would be flippin ecstatic getting Young who is a quality player. He is proven, Turan might be a flop and not get used to being kicked all game and greater pace of play.

Just hope Kenny gets us playing some good footie. I will alwasy support our lads, but we really have become a boring team to watch. Nobody wants to be the new 1-0 Arsenal.

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 17:39:03
Ed are anyone of the following options for the summer, Pato, Hulk, Turan, M'vila and hazard? Also i have seen that many ed's don't think hazard is an option, however i don't see why because we have been known to have watched him many times, it's like how people said we wouldn't sign suarez even though he had been watched

{Ed002's Note - In my opinion: no, very doubtful, possibly, yes, no.}

ED i was watching reinas interview and he was saying he has to improve for the club do you think that could be a hint that hes staying? {Ed002's Note - I don't see it as a hint to anything I am afraid. I also don't see that he has been doing particularly poorly.}
i agree the only bad part of the westham game was the c.cole goal and before that the cross he couldnt deal with agains praga

************
My opinion, so don't slate me. I really like Reina as a team man and he is a fantastic shot stopper, but I have always felt he is a bit short and has never been good enough with crosses and sometimes concentration goes a bit awol.

I still really rate Schmeichel Jnr. I know 1 of the Ed's doesn't rate him at all, but Leeds is my 2nd team and seen him a fair bit (incl ManC days - where him and Hart were equally rated) and think he is maturing into a WC keeper (if Pepe did leave)

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 17:44:25
(IF) Reina does leave. and its looking more probable atm, didn't he state that he has no interest in going back to spain.? im pretty sure he also said that CL footy is a priority. When he publicly backed Torres' Chelsea move, i felt that he shares the same motives as it was him backing up his good friend.

He will be sorely missed. AMAZING GK!

I agree with some of the posters that their could well be a BIG clear out come the summer, KK aint a fool and we can all see we have very little quality in the squad, and with a lot of VERY good younger players, KK might just add quality where needed 4-5 and promote some up and-comers. in my opinion.

Drezperado

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 17:44:53
Thought I'd give some imput on the "who is Macca" thread. ....snip....
On more of a transfer note Ed what be you think the chances are of us getting Mata and a couple of English players in the summer? Thanks Ed(s) keep up the good work!
Come on The Reds! Lets beat the spam on Sunday! {Ed002's Note - There is no "Macca " thread you need to just drop this. I don't see Mata moving to Liverpool and it appears that Adam and Young are on the cards as British players.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 17:45:15
Ed just wondering do you think liverpool will go for turan becuase i just love this guy! hes a great player {Ed002's Note - Search through the archives for Arda for my opinion on this - you can pretty much choose any day.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 17:45:58
Ed or anybody else, is Michel Bastos a good defender, as he is known to be able to play left back. I know he is very good going forward on the wings but i'm wandering whether he'll be like johnson if we were to sign him, great attacker poor defender. Just wandering if you've seen him play in that position and look solid in the defence department. {Ed002's Note - He is a decent left back.}

As an aside I warned against Comolli when he arrived and would personally be very wary of him and his desire for power. Knowing what happened at St-Et I would advise Dalglish to keep a watchful eye on him.}

what happened at st-et? and do you think he would get a bollocking if he made liverpool a french liverpool

{Ed002's Note - I don't want to open up too much about what has gone before, and been explained but the issues surrounded having him in complete control of transfers and the presentation of players to the coaching staff during training that they new nothing of. The Chairman took a very significant swipe at him when he left. I don't expect Liverpool to let it go too far in that direction, but it seems to me that eventually Comolli and Dalglish will hit an impasse. It is no doubt a matter that needs to be clarified if Dalglish is to take on the role on a full-time basis. Comolli is tasked with finding the next manager and if Dalglish wants the job I would expect him to be offered it.}

Im a young supporter and as so am not that well informed on the tradition or history of the club. {Ed002's Note: All of your supposition is incorrect and I have deleted it.}

Im not totally convinced we need a LB, but if it is deemed so, I would most definitely prefer Baines. Also, I would like to see Jova get a decent chance in the side, possibly against Braga as I don't expect to see him against United.

Hi ed's I asked this question a couple of weeks ago and I didn't see an answer (that may be my fault). So I hope you don't mind me asking again, is there any chance that Sammi will be returning to the club in a coaching capacity? I think he would be excellent as part of a new boot room

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what the cahances are. I know Roy Hodgson tried to get him but he is contracted to Bayer Leverkusen as a coach. Once matters settle over the coaching staff the opportunity may still be there. Perhaps it will be clearer in the summer.}

Hi ed, i know this sounds stupid, but if carroll and suarez hit it off, then become the best strike force in epl, whats to say chavski or s**tty won't come in for them in the summer, it seems they just want everyones top players, jimmybosun, {Ed002's Note - Chelsea have spent this last January for the first time in a long time. I expect that they will spend a great deal in the summer as they rebuild but I don't see that they have or will have any interest in either Carroll or Suarez as they have their own targets. The issue with Manchester City is less likely to be Carroll and Suarez but more likely to be causing bidding battles over other targets. As a club they are becoming less attractive due to the size of their squad and opportunities for first team action (Adam Johnson being a prime example). So I think you may be worrying unnecessarily.}

Ed has n'zogbia ever been on Liverpools radar or has it just been paper talk. We would be mad to to buy him if wigan are going down this season. Also wouldne't mind Mcarthy or Rogega who have been Wigans three man side this season {Ed002's Note - N'Zogbia will likely move in the summer and there may be a number of options open to him in England. Liverpool have shown an interest in the past but I don't know if any remains. He can provide cover at left back which makes him valuable to some. I don't see the others being an improvement on the squad.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 15:33:45
In my opinion this is who we should sign and sell this summer:
Sign:-
Mvila 10M
Baines/ Enrique 12M
Honda 18M
Young 15M
Aqualani (return from loan)

Sell:-
Spearing 3M
Rodriguez 2M
Poulsen 2M
Konchesky 2M
El Zhar 2M
Degen 2M
Olly

Hey just on reading some post today and to ed001 sorry to burst your bubble mate but even if pepe played in spain he wouldn't put casillas out of the number one spot, Im a massive pepe fan but he isn't as good as casillas sorry but that's my opionion his honours at club level and also for country are sublime and a would go as far to say that hes been in the top 3 goalies in the world for the last ten years, also where would pepe go in spain to make him into the countrys number 1, barca don't need him nor madrid and if your going tell me if he went to athletico madrid where they lose goals for fun. a doubt he would put casillas out. And on to another matter a have to say Im not a lucas lover had a few post on here getting slatted for saying so, but im starting to get what the eds trying to say, he is trying and he may not be liverpools best player ever in that possition but hes trying 110% for the jersey and that is enough for me, since there are a lot more in the team that don't try one bit, so a do apoligise for slatting lucas. {Ed001's Note - Casillas is not as good as Pepe in my opinion and you are completely wrong about Barca, they have been looking for a keeper for years. Valdes is their weakest link and they know it. That is what I am trying to say about Lucas, I am not a big fan of Lucas the player, but I am of Lucas the person. He is a fantastic example to the youngsters coming through, he works his socks off in training and on the pitch and gets nothing but abuse from the fans. All the while he is being played out of position and unable to show what he can actually do. If every player in our team had his attitude we would be unstoppable.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 15:15:02
Could i have your thoughts ed001 about my post at 14.32 please
Alan {Ed001's Note - Gerrard and Carragher? Sorry, but in future if you could repeat a question to make it easier for us it would help. Anyway in my opinion it is bad coaching that is the problem. Carragher has ability but he has developed a mindset of backs to the wall last ditch defending and seems unable to adjust to actually playing the ball on the ground. It doesn't matter where on the pitch he receives it or how much time he has on the ball, he will always look to hoof it. Gerrard has had his all-action style coached out of him by a manager who wanted him to pace himself to last the full 90min. The problem is that his all-action style was what made him such a great player.}

Why is there rumours about reina leavin. .? he is spanish/ scouse he won't leave

the hound

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Wasn't Torres meant 2 be spanish/ scouse? ?

the dog

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - hes definatley Spanish

Yes but torres never showed the sorta of desire that reina has. . . Still think reina won't leave. . . however if he does, it won't be to another english club, what you think Ed? {Ed002's Note - I don't know if he will leave or not. If he does I would not discount Arsenal being interested.}

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

If he does go to Aresnal wenger will have to break tradition and pay up as I don't think he'l leave for less than 20 million which Arsenal can afford but well above what they normally like to pay for outfield players let alone a keeper

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 14:39:21
I have my reasons to know this information but Honda was negociating with Liverpool last Nov/ Dec but talks broke down due to his club being unwilling to let him go.

I have been informaed that there is a queue of teams lining him up in the summer but Liverpool is the front runner from England although not the front runner overall.

Again the eds have my email address and i can prove the reasons i know this information.

Souness
-----------------------------------------------
I expect there to be a few suprise signings in the summer. ones that will not be widely advertised! no idea who tho, just my opinion! I hope we renew interest in Honda, he is brilliant. I would also prefer Turan to Young. Not entirely sure why or where we would play adam on our team next season as i expect a squad too strong for him to hold a position on the starting 11.

i really hope carroll is fit for Sunday. without vidic or ferdinand at the back, uniteds young bloods will be terrorized by carrolls size and strength on the ball, not to mention suarez's trickery and pace!

what you think ed?

Pogo the Clown {Ed002's Note - I agree that Honda would be a good signing. I also agree that there are better options than Young and I have never seen a place for Adam.}

In Reply to:{Ed001's Note - I think he is more likely to leave than stay right now, unfortunately. I think he will return to Spain myself, he would be Spain's number one if he played in the country.}

Hay Ed001's Just a quick one for you if you have the time. What can you possibly base this on. Can you piont out one instance where it sways more to him leaving at the minnute. Not once have i heard he wants out not once has he said he wants out and not once has the club said he wants out. I really would like to know what you based your opioion on. I think if he wanted out he wouldn't be on the official site today saying how he needs to improve himself. I think this is based compleatly on personal opinion rather then facts. there is a better chance of pep staying at the moment because knowbody has said anything. Also Cassiles (excuse my spelling) is a better keeper then Pep that's why hes #1 in my opinion although id rather Reina betwwen the sticks his commitment and presence in the dressing room can't be faulted, to say that he isn't in the Spain team because of the country he plays in is not exactly true what about Torres? Not having a go just curious.{Ed001s} your reply would be appriciated. Great job lads:).

Quigz23 {Ed002's Note - Ed001 is not available to reply. However, he was giving his opinion (as he clearly stated "I think he is more likely to leave than stay right now, unfortunately.") It is not practical to ask for an Editor to rationalise his opinion in such a way. There has been a lot of discussion on the subject already and I can't see any further benefit in trying to did down further.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 14:48:32
Ed002 any thoughts on my post? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea which post you are referring to - please could you be more specific. They are much easier to identify if yo sign them.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 14:32:18
Please post as i would love to see wahat people think.
For a while now i think Stevie G has gone off the boil.
I think he would be better used as a holding midfielder, as i don't think his legs are up to the box to box game he is famed for.
There is no doubt he has been the best LFC player in the last few years, but i think we could get a few more years out of him by dropping back slightly.
Great tackler, could win the ball and protect the back four, possibly getting up the odd time but his main duty would be to hold and protect.
And the same with Carra, he too is on the downslide,
No doubting both players are legends, but legs are starting to go, I would sooner us by in a good cb this summer and for carra to be used froomt the bench as cover.
interested to hear from the fans and there thoughtd.
Thanks guys love the site.

It is believed that comoili is wanting to get barca stiker bojan for us for ethier on season long loan or 18 million make wat u will I'm just the messger

Darzokid YNWA {Ed002's Note - I am sure that Bojan will leave Barcelona in the summer. If he goes on loan then there will need to be an agreement that he will be in the starting line-up. If he is sold there will be plenty of suitors - but he will be looking for a place in the starting line up.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 14:20:16
What is the likelihood of Carroll playing on Sunday. Also if the benzema rumours are true I can't see Madrid selling him for anything less than.15 - 18 million do you not think. that kind of money would be better added to the money we are thinking of spending on young to bring in a proper top class winger. Great site by the way.

I wasn't thinkin reds that's all. I would go with rush or fowler in that case. Bergkamp was top notch though.

After having read the statement of Graham Poll on referee Atkinson on dailymail, it is crystal clear that Mr Graham Poll is a big Man U fan. That make you think why Man U has got so many titles in recent years. They already have referees in their side like Mr Webb. If Mr Webb will be the official on Sunday we are beaten before the match start.

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 14:01:08
Corluka
Bastos
Sahko
Coentrao
Musacchio

Ed which of these names weve been linked with is most likely? {Ed002's Note - Sakho and Musacchio are the most likely of this bunch I would think.}

If he is fully fit perhaps a chance from the bench. If he is not fully fit it would be really dumb to risk him.}

 

 

 

 

02 Mar 2011 13:00:49
How about playing Gerrard from bench in the physicallyTougher games like the games against stokecity wigan where we struggling for years. If we bring Steven Gerrard about hour mark, he will be full of energy to run all around the park and he will create many chances. We may use him second half substitutes if we able to find some good players

To all the reds fans wanting things to happen overnight. Grow up and find some common sense. We are still in a rebuilding process, yes things are looking a little brighter, even after sunday.

Oh dear me, just look at this. .are you a true Lfc fan?have we gone so bad that you are excited and thrilled that we'll be going against a decimated Manure team.I wouldn't bother the least about them.i would rather have them at Anfield with their entire squad fit and smash them rather than being happy at their loss.i'm sure even without Vidic and all the players mentioned by you, Manure will be tough to beat coz they play football and their players fight out their lives for the team.just have a look at our players.some are half dead and can't even run.saw the match against West Ham? I still don't understand why a holding (or defensive) midfielder like Lucas was still on the pitch when we were losing 2-0.he should have long been removed and replaced with an attacking midfielder like Maxi.and we were losing but didn't make a third substitution.god knows why we didn't.have you seen Lucas run?makes me laugh.he seems to be running in slow motion.anyway, best of luck to us on Sunday.I'm eagerly waiting for the transfer window.I just want to see quality players coming in.please use Lucas as backup if we don't sell him.please tell Carra to stop playing football and please tell Stevie he's no more like before and he should fight for his place.let Pepe go if he wants to go.and I'll welcome Mourinho if he wants to come to us.

= = = = = = = = = =

typical, things go bad and lets blame lucas. change the record mate would ye. the team were terrible, apart from a few moments of magic from suarez.
Ive said it before, lucas is a good squad player. and does a decent job when asked. and until we get a better replacement. support the guy for once

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

may be you didn't quite read it properly.i didn't mention only Lucas.by the way, I'm not a Lucas lover like you.i don't rate this player at all.you rate him, so you support him.go back to the past when Lfc was nightmare for other teams and try to find a player of his standard (if he has) in the team.I'm sure you won't.
Million times I'll tell you Lucas is s**t s**t s**t.Lfc won't win anything with such a below average player.you like it or not, that's the truth. {Ed001's Note - with fans like you we will get nowhere. Get off the lads back because he is trying, whereas you are doing nothing but dragging us back. You are just typical of the pathetic need for a scapegoat. Lucas was the only midfielder doing anything at the weekend, he faced 3 men on his own, yet you are still whining. Grow up and take the abusive rants about a player who has done nothing to deserve your idiotic comments elsewhere.}

Im not sure that Reina would be Spain's No.1 if he were to live in Spain, I believe he is a better Goal Keeper than Casillas But Casillas is also the captain of the team, so it would be almost impossible to replace him in the national side.

the only reason casillas is spains no 1 is that hes madrids no 1, who is part owned by the government

Ed, may I ask mate why ashley young is top priority mate for a winger. He's 26, no commerical revenue brought that a turan' would bring, can't get onto the england team etc. Ed, are we buying young as a Short term' solution until sterling and the youngsters come through because that is that only thing that makes sense? {Ed001's Note - because he is the player they have decided will improve the squad for the right price. Remember his contract is up next summer too.}


Yawn Yawn Yawn! Will ever a day go by without a dozen mentions of Arda Turan - the Turkish Messi, Maradona and Pele rolled into one.
Am I missing something but please explain what commercial revenue he would bring in a country where he is virtually unknown except for readers of this site. He is only 18 months younger than Ashley Young and his transfer fee would probably be the same.
Yes I know that there were rumours that Dalglish had watched him and recommended him but where is the proof?
Day after day people extol his virtues on here but as I cannot remember any Galatasaray matches being on tv for the last few years in this country all as I can think is that there must be hundreds of you travelling to Turkey to watch him! Oh I forgot to mention you would be disappointed as he has only played for Galatasaray 3 times this season!
Silly me I forgot about youtube and Fifa 2011!

oh dear me, just look at this. .are you a true Lfc fan?have we gone so bad that you are excited and thrilled that we'll be going against a decimated Manure team.I wouldn't bother the least about them.i would rather have them at Anfield with their entire squad fit and smash them rather than being happy at their loss.i'm sure even without Vidic and all the players mentioned by you, Manure will be tough to beat coz they play football and their players fight out their lives for the team.just have a look at our players.some are half dead and can't even run.saw the match against West Ham? I still don't understand why a holding (or defensive) midfielder like Lucas was still on the pitch when we were losing 2-0.he should have long been removed and replaced with an attacking midfielder like Maxi.and we were losing but didn't make a third substitution.god knows why we didn't.have you seen Lucas run?makes me laugh.he seems to be running in slow motion.anyway, best of luck to us on Sunday.I'm eagerly waiting for the transfer window.I just want to see quality players coming in.please use Lucas as backup if we don't sell him.please tell Carra to stop playing football and please tell Stevie he's no more like before and he should fight for his place.let Pepe go if he wants to go.and I'll welcome Mourinho if he wants to come to us.

Hey ed, do you think if we were to bring in a CB in the summer, it would be one comfortable on the ball like Agger? Everytime he doesn't play we look awful and nervy bringing the ball out, and given his lack of durability, another Cb option like him would be beneficial to us.

DownUnderRed. {Ed002's Note - If a centre back is bought in it will need to be someone who is comfortable on the ball.}

Effing Nani? A Ronaldo wannabe who falls over alot but can't do jack.

My choice would be Essien, a proper holding midfielder and not a makeshift one.

For me its either Bale , Nasri or Van Persie all day . .

If i had to choose 1 would be Bale. Best Left winger in the world. .

I'd have to go for a fit fernando torres

They are all very good players i must admit but my one worry about RVP is that he in injury prone. He looks like he will miss the match against Barca and that's a big blow. Sorry about the language too ED.

I would of loving us to get Bale when he was in the Championship, he is quality but based on this season its Nani for me, 9 goals and 14 assists, but Bale is a very close 2nd.

Would have to be Silva, amazing on his day and at least we would have a left footed player

Silva Caroll Saurez
Meireles Gerrard
Lucas
Aurelio Wilson Agger Kelly
Reina

Unstopable, and a team that can challange for a top 4 place! Don't know about the bench though!
N'gog, Poulsen and Cole FTW! !

lil_elf

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

it would have to be a thierry henry at his peake or alan shearer. . . and there is no doubting that dennis bergkamp was absoulute class. . .

Rumours. .
Have it from a reliable source that once the completion of Benzema, Young, Adam and Marveaux deals happen, we will look for a CB, DM, RW/ LW.
M'Vila is the top target for DM.
Valbuena/ Bastos/ Payet/ Griezmann are the top targets for LW/ RW
No defender has been identified as top target of yet, we may go back in for Richards, but that's all i know.
Ed, what you heard about defenders- who have we watched? {Ed002's Note - I don't know of anyone other than the usual suspects for left back.}

Morning Ed
Guardian newspaper saying that Andy Carroll will make his first start for us on Sunday, ( I think proably as a sub) Do you have any info that can confirm or deny this?

With Vidic definately not playing and Ferdinand doubtful I think he could batter their replacement centrebacks if he comes on

RedDan {Ed002's Note - I don't have anything I am afraid.}

1. I fear Ferdinand may make a "miraculous comeback" from injury for Sunday.
2. I would play gerrard at right back if we play
3-2-3-2 so he can get some good crosses in with kelly injured, hopefully a cross to carroll if he comes on as a sub
3. I think Macca is one of the eds, giving us info but the eds can't reveal their sources so they are using a "front" and it keeps the site interesting {Ed002's Note - But which one?}
4. Laughed at ferguson complaining about the referee, he finally gets a taste of his own medicine

pepe

skrtel carra agger
gerrard johnson
meireles lucas

j.cole

kuyt suarez


with carroll for j.cole, either suarez steps back into the hole or a change in formation bringing gerrard back to midfield

What is the story on Brad Jones? Is it possible to give him a shot at the starting postion if reina leaves?

We did sign him for a "reason" right? {Ed001's Note - I hope not, he is a terrible keeper.}

I am probably wrong here but will ask, but wasn't there many teams vying for his signature?

As well if so bad why would liverpool hold onto him?

Just a waste of money IMO, if he is that bad.

Thanks for the quick reply. {Ed001's Note - there was very little competition for him, he was back up keeper there and not exactly highly rated. I really don't know what was seen in him to be honest, other than having Scouse roots and being homegrown.}

Do we swap skrtel for kjaer (agree) or just sell them or anyone interested and get another good CB (disagree). Kjaer can play some good moves like agger but I'm not sure about his defensive qualities. Eds your thoughts would be appreciated also. {Ed001's Note - I am not convinced by Kjaer, it seems all the people suggesting him have not seen a lot of him.}

Guys i'm sorry to say it and would welcome your feedback. .

Will we ever see Stevie G back to his best? As mentioned earlier he lost his way last year and is still struggling to find form. .he looks a shadow of his former self and bar the napoli performance i can't remember when he last dug us out of a hole?

I think the pressure put on him over the years where single handed he carried us is begining to tell.

your opinions eds and reds. . {Ed001's Note - I just think we need to tell him to go out there and give his all for an hour then take him off. He is trying to pace himself and it doesn't suit him at all.}

@ Why have you got MUTV?? ??

Typical scouser glory hunter supports Man'ure when we were not doing so good. i hate people like you that support us when it suits you.
