{Ed001's Note - o that is a tough one, I wouldn't expect too much of a net spend myself, probably around 25-30m at best. Maybe a little more if we can't sell enough of the deadwood.}

Only 25-30 million? If our owners are serious then I would have thought more investment was required. We need 5-6 key players and if we want top players then we need to pay. That couldn't even get 2 thirds of Sanchez who'll probably go to a rival. Looks like we're going after cheap players once again if that's the money available. {Ed001's Note - depends how many we ship out though, I am expecting a lot of outs.}

If sunderland keep sleeping and the unthinkable happens, I would definitly go for Gyan! For left back I would go for Kadlec of Leverkusen and I would use the youngsters as back up. It looks like marveaux is a done deal for the left wing, but for the right I would like us to have a look at albrighton. Your thoughts on these ed??? {Ed001's Note - I am not convinced by Gyan and you just know Bruce would overcharge because it is us anyway. The rest I would be happy with though.}

Martin Olsson off Blackburn looks a good player, I like his attacking style, I'm sure he gave Kenny Dalglish food for thought today, what do you think of Olsson Ed? {Ed001's Note - he is quick and direct, but I have not seen him stand out before, admittedly he is young and learning, so it might just be a one off good game. I would certainly see him as a player worth keeping an eye on myself though.}

**************************
Ed do you think we'll get Charlie Adam? I personally hope we dont, he's had some great games in the first half of the season but as the season has gone on he seems to have look a bit heavy (as in tired/ fatigued). . I think we could easily get a better player than him {Ed001's Note - he is preparing himself for a potential move away from the area, which suggests to me he is not expecting to complete a move to us any more. Whether he is just being on the safe side or not is only conjecture at this stage, but he has defo been preparing the family for a move away. Villa are a major possibility, their interest is real and strong and has not faded in the slightest. Spurs and Fulham are the two others I have heard are showing an interest.}

****************************
I've heard Ferguson is very interested in him aswell, with Scholes retiring at the end of the season i could easily see why he would be linked to them

Building on jimmy bosun's suggestion, i would have lasers in the crossbar. The ball has a microchip in it so that when all of the ball goes under the bar, the lasers are triggered.
Any intefering object - arm, leg etc - would thus be disintigrated by the lasers. The ball as well.
No arguments, no fuss.
Ed ?
KB {Ed001's Note - I like that plan, would make the keepers stay well off their line and we would see a lot of goals from distance.}

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 23:34:32
{Ed001's Note - the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Rolando, there are defo others though. I am busy trying to sort through all the notes I have for the database we are putting together of any interest we hear about in players. Hopefully that will make it easier as you will be able to see exactly what we have heard and when it was posted.}

Ed if you were to estimate how much we'll spend net how much would you roughly say. I know we do things by player by player but if you had to give a rough guess, how much would you say we'll spend net? {Ed001's Note - ooooo that is a tough one, I wouldn't expect too much of a net spend myself, probably around 25-30m at best. Maybe a little more if we can't sell enough of the deadwood.}

{Ed001's Note - off the top of my head Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Kun Aguero come immediately to mind. There are a lot of others too, but those two say it all I think.}

Weren't there others such as:

Alves
Simao
Malouda
Silva
Villa

Just to name a few. If only we didn't beg Hicks or Gillet. {Ed001's Note - Simao was a different case, that was his club upping the fee after the lad was already on a flight. They even yanked him off the flight because we refused to meet the suddenly increased price. That is if I remember correctly, I am sure someone else will correct me if I am wrong as my memory is not as good at it was!}

you are perfectly correct Ed, Simao had agreed personal terms and a fee was agreed only for his club to pull him off the flight he was booked on because we wouldn't meet their new price! {Ed001's Note - I thought I was right, it is one of those stories you hear and you think must be complete nonsense until you speak to a party who was involved in it.}

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 23:31:08
Think it will be a very exciting summer ahead for the club and I am hoping for something along the lines of. . Phil Jones, Aly Cissokho, Moussa Sissoko (quality player), Ashley Young, Sylvain Marveaux and Romelu Lukaku. Is this realistic?
The Poacher. {Ed001's Note - it is hard to say, certainly all those players are of interest, but who really knows if it is a case of we can buy all of them or some of them and some cheaper options?}

{Ed001's Note - wouldn't there be a risk of injury? The goalies and players often end up in the back of the net themselves and they could suffer knee and ankle injuries due to the change in surface.}
, , , , , , , , , , ,
dont be so negative ed, it does not do long jumpers any harm, if they are scrambling in the net it must be a goal anyway, {Ed001's Note - I was just pointing out the questions you will have to answer to get it accepted mate! Maybe we should just give a goal if a player ends up scrambling in the net and save all the arguments then? ;o)}

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 23:25:28
I hope theres substance in the Lavezzi rumours. If we sign that fella, we'd have one of the most potent strikeforce in europe. Neither Phil Jones or cahill are answers to the center half issue and Ashley Young isn't what we need. I think Charlie Adam would be useful but not a regular feature, don't know a great deal about marveaux but this seems to be a done deal. Do the Eds know of any other centre halfs we are supposedly tracking? {Ed001's Note - the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Rolando, there are defo others though.

Hi ed, i have the perfect answer to goaline technology, its so simple, no need for anything technical or extra officials or vid replays its fool proof and i can't see how it can't work, are you interseted ed?whats it worth if i cut you in, jimmybosun, {Ed001's Note - tell you what mate, if it works and stops me having to put up with endless posts about how the officials are cheats etc that would be all the payment I would require! If you have the answer I would love to hear it though, maybe we can start a campaign up to get it implemented if it works?
, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
its simple let me know what draw backs would be but would cut most arguments out,
(in the in goal area lower it say by 6" fill it with sand like a big sand pit, i mean fill with sand but leave 6"drop, that would also stop bounce outs, jimmybosun, ps i will dig a hole in my garden tomorrow and try a prototype, plus it won't cost any team a penny, {Ed001's Note - wouldn't there be a risk of injury? The goalies and players often end up in the back of the net themselves and they could suffer knee and ankle injuries due to the change in surface.}

The term ManUre originated from chants about Duncan Edwards by West Brom fans following the Munich Air Disaster. Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in his grave, Man U are manure, rotting in their grave.

Taken from EOTK 2009! Sorry Davey Bootle but you are wrong.

Ed this is a useless question but I've always wondered what players we almost signed under Rafa's reign. We were close to signing a lot of top players but we didn't because we penny pinched. Do you know names of players who we almost got? {Ed001's Note - off the top of my head Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Kun Aguero come immediately to mind.

Hi ed

I have not heard much since summer about ola toivonen of psv i checked his record 32 goals in 70 games do you think we should get him for support and get a class winger or get a class striker to go with suarez and carroll and get an average winger? {Ed001's Note - we did bid for Toivonen in January, he rejected the move though. I would prefer a class winger and a class striker, but I think the priority has to be the wings, we need some width to create space.}

Ps. by the way Ed001 while I am no fan of Blatter I totally disagree with your stance on goal line technology as stated on the united page {Ed001's Note - you don't want goal line technology to be introduced? Why not? It would be simple to produce something to say when the whole of the ball crossed the line, it is bordering on the criminal not to do so.}
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Yeah the argument is very strong Ed I agree but quite simply if it happens it will be the thin end of the wedge and then you're on a very slippery slope

Chris in Tamworth {Ed001's Note - got to be better than having 35 officials spread around the pitch who never see anything anyway hasn't it?}
- - - - - - - - - -
I agree too many officials but the biggest problem is too much media dissection. I guarantee if goal line technology is introduced very shortly afterwards it'll be video technology for incidents inside the penalty box and then it will escalate to every incident and before you know it a match is 3 hours long. Even then many incidents are scrutinised and viewed from a dozen different angles and still the "experts" can't agree on what they've seen

Chris in Tamworth
Ps. Anyway what do you think of my team???? {Ed001's Note - I would not be in favour of any of those other things as they would still be a matter of opinion. Sorry, I forgot about your team, got distracted! My problem with it would be having Gerrard sit, his main strength is still powering forward and striking a shot at goal, defensive awareness and positioning are not amongst his strengths.}

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 22:29:48
Ed, do you think Carroll will be fit for tomorrow? I'm sure he was looking forward to this game, it would be a pitty for him to miss out. At first I thought they took him off for precautionary reasons, I didn't think there was much to his injury :/ {Ed001's Note - it is hard to say, if it wasn't Newcastle I am sure he would be left out, but as it is Newcastle I have a feeling he might just get to play.}

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 22:31:09
People keep going on about us buying centre mids, but honestly we do not need one, we got lucas, gerrard, mereiles, spearing( who is just getting better and better) and shelvey

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 22:32:32
This is what i think would constitute a good summer transfer window for Liverpool FC:

Scott Dann or Phil Jones
Leighton Baines
Moussa Sissoko
Adam Johnson
Ashley Young

Then obviously Sylvain Marveaux who is all but at the club.

How likely this is is questionable but i don't think you could go too far wrong with that bunch of new players, no?

Hey ed not a rumour or anything but what ever happened to bruno alves, he used to play for porto, played well at the world cup with carvalho at centre back!
Also agree with u about Dann ed, he is far better than jones and cahill and would represent value for money!
Do u think bruno alves would be a good signing? {Ed001's Note - it is funny you should bring his name up, I heard him mentioned when Porto were playing and I was thinking what happened to him and had to look him up. He is with Zenit now, so, while I think he is a good player, I would not see him as a cheap option, they are not short of cash. He might be a little overpriced to make him worth signing, plus I would like to see Ayala given a chance to make that position his own.}

Also lets hope suarez finds the net tommorrow and carroll if hes playing!

{Ed007's Note - Charlie Adam 10/ 10 £17m from a reliable sorce}

If that's the truth I would be highly dissapointed. I'm just not so sure that he has the work rate that Kenny will look for in that position. Also 17m is wayyyy to much for him.

Regardless of this, what do you think of the chances are of Ibrahim Afellay coming to LFC? {Ed002's Note - It is possible - but not probable.}

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 22:26:33
I personaly did not know about the whole "Man'ure" thing I thought it was just the fact it ryhmes with Man U. Like a 5 year old saying Liverpoo. However I will refrain from using it, genuine or not as the last thing I like may others on this site would want to do is offend the dead. - Mc

This is **e***** speaking
i will now stop using the term manure for man united i had no idea that this term was used in a song about the munich air disaster which was a terrible tragedy for all involved and the familys of the victims, i send my apologies to all the united fans that i may have offended in the past with the use of this word. there is nothing wrong with harmless banter in football but mocking the dead takes football to the gutter something that i myself would never do.

I couldn't have said it better, and i too will not use the term again and also apologise, and would like to thank the eds for bringing it to our attention, keep up the good work. Ali jft96 jfts ynwa

Is your hatred of another football team so consuming that you need to slag off the dead, how ever it happened? Munich, Hillsborough, Heysel?? Come to Glasgow and see REAL hatred, this kind of talk is getting a bit too serious, hope the Eds sort this out, because this site doesn't need stuff like that posted, let's get past the kids stuff and have some decent manly banter, 19 and counting lol

"Ed001's Note - can people please leave out the saying Manure in future, it stems from references to the dead at Munich and I am sure we would all be complaining if they were referring to us by names related to those that dies at Hillsborough.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hello Ed

Just wondering how is it a reference to Munich. I have used it before but believed it was just as in "shiity man utd" - banter type thing and never honestly knew about any connection to munich. though it was just more a pun on their name. I really would appreicated being enlightened as I'm sure other fans would too.

Cheers
JJ {Ed001's Note - one of the United eds was explaining it to me, it comes from a song that was sung about the dead bodies on the tarmac being nothing but manure or something along those lines. I will have to get him to pass on the link to the article that explains it properly. I have to admit I used it before I found out what it referred to.}"

That is utter crap. The reference to 'manure' is that of the brown grassy stuff that falls out of a horses bum and not in reference to a disaster. UTD fans are getting on the defensive now and a television programme reminding them of a disaster is making people a little paranoid. All respect to that club, fans and families of the unfortunate who passed away and were injured in that disaster, but that name has NO relevance to it. I thought that was obvious. i can't believe what I have just read. .

DaveyBootle {Ed002's Note - This is not a new thing and certainly not related to any television programme. We have to accept the it should not be used.}"

You are wrong, it is a new thing. I thought you would do a little homework instead of 'instigating' that a name in reference to a footballing enemy is in reference to a sad disaster. i for one do not use the name 'manure' as i find it a little childish and weak, but anyone who wishes to should do so without any complaints from people. This editor would have a valid argument if the term 'manure' was used in any present-day Liverpool terrace chant, but the simple fact is that it isn't and never has been in all the games my family and myself have attended. Case closed. Please understand that this is not a personal attack Ed but that of support for my fellow fans, as I suspect that many people and journalists read this site, and I'd hate for any unnecessary, fabricated stories to creep out of the woodwork because of certain 'issues' which people burden themselves with.

DaveyBootle {Ed001's Note - you are talking complete and utter nonsense, this is nothing to do with terrace chants being used at Anfield right now. This is about people still putting it on a website without realising what it refers to. Now you can carry on being a complete arse about it because it doesn't offend you and I will just block your IP or you can have a little respect for others feelings and not try and argue it should be used on a website that is open for all to view. I am damn sure you would be one of the first to complain if it was a term the United fans were using that you believed stemmed from a chant about Hillsborough.}"

Am I?????? Then post your evidence instead of the verbal evidence off one supporter! Listen, before you refer to me 'as being a complete arse' and proposing to ban me for nothing other than defending people, please refer to the icliverpool site approx two days ago under the Matt Busby article and look for the 'dirtymancs' post in which I posted paying my respects to Matt Busby, Utd and the fans. i despise the chants from the terraces in reference to that disaster, so don't ever accuse me of being disrespectful and not considering other peoples feelings Mr. Editor, liverpool football club also lost a legend. {Ed001's Note - you are still missing the point in your attempts to be all high and mighty and act like you know it all. The point is that United fans are offended by what they see as a reference to Munich, that should be enough. It is not to be used here, end of.}

I would say that 10m is a bit much considering his age though, I would not want to pay that for him.}

_ _ _ _ _

Re above:

The original chants did not come from LFC supporters the chants were adopted by several clubs with words to suit. (Im not a united fan but here is an old link (excuse the length) Jim22

The name Is MANCHESTER UNITED and not 'MAN U'Category:. The Red Devils mustn t be referred as Man U at least by their fans.


This term is only used by United rivals as a complete and utter insult to the club. Many United competitors would sing a song about the Munich air disaster which claimed the lives of eight players.

Man U Man U went on a plane Man U Man U never came back again. .

If you re a Man United fan and that doesn t get your blood boiling, I m sure nothing will.

Manchester United are nicknamed UNITED, MAN UNITED, MAN UTD and RED DEVILS.

There are no official songs with a Man U word nor will one lay his hands on an official merchandise using that term. Manchester City isn t christened Man C or an Aston Villa as Ast V. Like the song goes There s Only One United so people will know where your loyalty is.

The term Utd is the proper abbreviation for the word United and nothing else. Why can t some accept this and get over themselves. .

The Scousers (Liverpool fans) often tease United about the Munich incident again by chanting Man U Never Intended Coming Home. It wasn t just chants as it was also popular to write this as graffiti.

When did this chant originate? Possibly in the 1960 s.

There was huge competition between clubs to sign Duncan Edwards when he was a schoolboy in the early 50s and there was even a newspaper campaign in the Midlands to pressure him into signing for a Midlands club, as he came from Dudley. His signing for United caused a lot of people in the Midlands to regard him as a traitor and was hate figure for them.

It was West Brom fans who first began this mantra.

Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in his grave, Man you are manure-rotting in your grave,

The origin of Man U is a song to insult the dead Duncan Edwards. The Liverpool and Leeds fans copied this with their own versions. It is strange to hear from United fans referring them as Man U.

There was literally a bloodbath up on the old Scoreboard End at Old Trafford in 1964-65 season when the West Bromwich Albion fans sang. A big battle took place with the home fans outnumbering the visiting ones and hammering them to the utmost.Get the picture?

Most clubs did try to ban the chant. After United won the European Cup , it sprang up again but this time there was also Who's that lying in the aircraft. The West Brom fans taunted using a United song Who's that team we call United.

But by the end of the decade it became universal and the term "Man U" became the word used by almost all rival fans to affront United. Everyone knew what it meant. It was laughter at the death of Duncan and the Babes.Fans of Spurs and oddly enough Chelsea never sang Munich songs either.

A place where the word Man U could spell doom was Millwall, even if you were a United fan .United played them when they were in the second division and the policemen were asked to work despite having a leave.

The League officials had even tried to stop allocating United fans a ticket to Millwall.The kick off was put forward to 11 am to try and stop all United fans from going down there. It was billed as the fight of the century.

Not one single punch was thrown inside the ground. There was even a picture in the Sunday Mirror of two United fans with "Harry the Dog" What did happen was after the match a combined force of 20,000 plus United and Millwall fans descended on the Kings Road and smashed the place up, including the football ground.

But a lot of the violence that happened with United fans around that time was usually sparked by the words Man U.

When Teddy Sheringham signed for United, incidentally he referred the club as Man U and received a dressing down from Sir Alex Ferguson.

So, I expect the so-called Unite fans stop chanting Man U and as far as rival fans are concerned .

Hello Ed

Just wondering how is it a reference to Munich. I have used it before but believed it was just as in "shiity man utd" - banter type thing and never honestly knew about any connection to munich. though it was just more a pun on their name. I really would appreicated being enlightened as I'm sure other fans would too.

Cheers

That is utter crap. The reference to 'manure' is that of the brown grassy stuff that falls out of a horses bum and not in reference to a disaster. UTD fans are getting on the defensive now and a television programme reminding them of a disaster is making people a little paranoid. All respect to that club, fans and families of the unfortunate who passed away and were injured in that disaster, but that name has NO relevance to it. I thought that was obvious. i can't believe what I have just read. .

DaveyBootle {Ed002's Note - This is not a new thing and certainly not related to any television programme. We have to accept the it should not be used.}"

You are wrong, it is a new thing. I thought you would do a little homework instead of 'instigating' that a name in reference to a footballing enemy is in reference to a sad disaster. i for one do not use the name 'manure' as i find it a little childish and weak, but anyone who wishes to should do so without any complaints from people. This editor would have a valid argument if the term 'manure' was used in any present-day Liverpool terrace chant, but the simple fact is that it isn't and never has been in all the games my family and myself have attended. Case closed. Please understand that this is not a personal attack Ed but that of support for my fellow fans, as I suspect that many people and journalists read this site, and I'd hate for any unnecessary, fabricated stories to creep out of the woodwork because of certain 'issues' which people burden themselves with.

DaveyBootle {Ed001's Note - you are talking complete and utter nonsense, this is nothing to do with terrace chants being used at Anfield right now. This is about people still putting it on a website without realising what it refers to. Now you can carry on being a complete arse about it because it doesn't offend you and I will just block your IP or you can have a little respect for others feelings and not try and argue it should be used on a website that is open for all to view. I am damn sure you would be one of the first to complain if it was a term the United fans were using that you believed stemmed from a chant about Hillsborough.}

Just watchin Lavezzi playing against Genoa - his movement is good but he has missed a few chances and doesn't appear to be clinical which his stats also suggest with only 6 goals in 27 games. He does however get alot of assits but perhaps LFC would be better of paying the extra to bring in Hulk (if possible) as he appears to have a bit of everything to his game.

James McCarthy - unlikely to sign while liverpool got Jonjo Shelvey
Ashley Young need 20m+ to get him quick and can whipping the ball into the penalty area ideal for Carroll latch on his crosses
Adam Johnson - Alternative to Young more like to get him than Young half the price can cut in side from the wing and cause problems to defense
Sylvain Marveaux - He's free and play left winger quick and skillful but problem with groin may need a backup winger.
Matthew Jarvis- backup for Young and Marveaux - good crosser of the ball
Stewart Downing - depending will get Marveaux will cost 12m but doubt with his fitness and injury not create enough goals
Eden Hazard - Great if Liverpool can get him nearly complete attacking player will cost 30-40m but more likely end up in Real Madrid or Barcelona

F bio Coentr o - ideally Liverpool would like him but too expensive starting bid 20m may end up paying 25-30m
Fernando Gago -Surplus in Real Madrid likely to move on cost 8m but others team will bid will cost 10m option if we can't get Sissoko or MVila
Blaise Matuidi- same combative quality as Mascherano fierce and strong tackler may be double swop him and Dimitri Payet from St Etienne

When I read this I was initially in disbelief, I have a few friends that root for the "club that shall not be named" & I have on many occasions used this slang to describe them (my friend form Manchester actually asked me to stop calling them the scum & has said nothing about the other). If what this is true I will be the first to apologize to the fans of that particular club. I just find it odd that I am now hearing about this after 27 years of supporting LFC & hating that other team.

I think we might start seeing more "swap" deals in the future with the Financial Fair Play rules coming into effect. It happens all the time in the NBA as well as MLB in the states. I also wouldn't be surprised if LFC actually offer unwanted players to other clubs this year as makeweight in transfer fees.

Are u f#cking mad mate! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Meireles will be even better next year and is 10x better (even playing out wide) than Young! ! !
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
i doubt he would be used much next season if we buy wide and central midfielder (basically any midfielder)
*********************************
We will play a 3 man MF (with Lucas slightly deeper). Meireles is the box to box player that Gerrard is not anymore. If we do sign a Sissoko or Defour, I presume they will put pressure on Gerrard's position IMO. Can't believe you do not rate Meireles! Look at that Porto MF and remember that he was the best of them before we signed him.

Great result for us TODAY! Spurs lost, we are heading for 5th and Chelsea may well stop Manu from winning the 19th! I'd rather have Torres lift the trophy than Manu getting ahead of us.

Ed, out of the following players below who do you think has the most potential and more likely to join Liverpool?
Coutinho
Canales
Pastore
Paulo Henrique {Ed001's Note - to be honest I have not seen a lot of any of them apart from Canales and he doesn't convince me. Pastore is far too expensive and personally I can't see any of them moving here.}

Houllier only bought carp frnch players. Players above are class.

After the season merieles has had, would it not be better to take the money for him, buy a cheaper defensive option, and then use the left over money towards ashley young?

Are u f#cking mad mate! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Meireles will be even better next year and is 10x better (even playing out wide) than Young! ! !

Realistic team:

Reina
Johnson, Jones (15m), Agger, Izaguirre (5m)
Gerrard, Lucas, Meireles
Suarez, Carroll, A. Johnson (20m)

Also in Marveaux (0m), Payet (10m) & Sissokho (15m).

65m spent and we will prob recoup 15-20m from sales. Think possible Ed's? Likelyhood?

UCCM {Ed001's Note - I am sorry but he is not in the slightest bit world class, I just don't see that at all, he can't pass, he has no positional sense, can't pick runs, is very poor at dribbling past players unless he can just push it and run. In fact I fail to see what you or anyone else sees in him.}

Bale is way overrated but Modric is class. IMO he's the best central midfielder in the league. Would love him here, although I doubt it'd be possible. {Ed001's Note - Modric is brilliant, as is Sandro.}

GK- Reina, Gulacsi
RB- Johnson, Flanagan
RCB- Carra, Kelly, Wisdom
LCB- Agger, Skrtel, Wilson
LB- Enrique, Robinson
RM- Payet, Meireles, Sterling
RCM- Gerrard, Sissoko, Adorjan
LCM- Lucas, Spearing, Coady
LM- Young, Marveaux, Suso
RS- Suarez, Lukaku, Morgan
LS- Carroll, Kuyt, Ngoo

I couldn't complain with that. Young & Payet will give us great pace out wide, plus they don't even need to have a brilliant cross, stick it in the area and Carroll will attack it. Moussa Sissoko will give us great physical presence in CM & a great back up to SG. Lukaku is definitley one for the future and could do a job for us now as a back up ST. The youth players will just be there as back-ups for the back-ups, may be loaned out.

Thoughts anyone?
***********************
Don't think Enrique is good enough for LB. Would add Jones at CB and try to get A. Johnson instead of Young. And Meireles in CM instead of RM. Would be happy with Marveaux, Sissokho. Don't think we need or will get Lukaku. Prefer Gervinho.

Gareth Bale is the most over rated player I've seen in this decade. We don't need him, he belongs to Spurs.


Then you shoud've gone to SpecSavers

Gareth Bale is a world class player, Just because he dosn't play for Liverpool dosn't mean he's over rated, I guarentee if he was ours, You mate would have his picture on your wall next to Gerrard & Suarez. FACT

We should forget adam. Looked great for blackpool in the first half of the season, but ever since scotland played brazil and he had a nightmare performance, he has looked average.

Agree with ed that sissoko of toulouse is the player to go for. Re other players i would like are aly cissokho, a.johnson/ young, sakho and wickham

Is the player interested in a move to Liverpool, will we bid for him is summer and do you rate him?

I love this lad. Would suit the pl perfectly. Big, strong, pacey, decent passer, very quick passer and can make good runs into the box {Ed005's Note - Moussa Sissoko is an outstanding football player. He is strong, his work-rate is excellent and he is creative and a good passer of the ball. A real threat going forward. He can also track back and help the defence out. Potentially one of the best midfielders in the world in my opinion.}

So how likely do you think he'll sign this summer?

{Ed002's Note - There is a decent chance if the efforts of Juve, AC Milan, Genoa and Napoli can be overcome by getting the guy to understand that he is seen as a long term player for Liverpool.}

Not much of a rumour here but I just want a quick reply if possible. I love the site and really appreciate the work the eds do but I was just wondering why everyone takes ed002's word as gospel? He seems to have inside knowledge on how he talks about the club's dealings but what would a person involved with liverpool fc actually be doing on a rumours site like this one? When I started looking at this website about a year ago there was only one ed I believe and all the rumours were more or less taken as banter or had an air of banter to them and the editor responded in a similar tone but now this editor seems to have a high level of knowledge. He talks with far too much certainty about players to just be an average joe keeping on top of liverpool transfer rumours circulating the net. Hope you don't take this the wrong way eds, its not an attack I am just trying to find out how ye have such good information? Thanks.

Gerard and Carrager will be a lot easier to replace than Gerrard and Carragher.

. . . As for having Arda Turan to attract Sahin makes little sense to me. They will obviously know each other from their International games together but that will be pretty much it. Sahin was born and raised in Germany not Turkey. It would be like buying David Beckham to attract Owen Hargreaves. Nothing appears to be happening with Ninis at the moment.}
- - - - - - - - - -
If you were in a country with a different language and culture then buying Beckham to attract Hargreaves would seem to me to make perfect sense. I know Turan and Sahin grew up in different countries but Turan is a national icon and I'm sure Sahin respects him massively and in my opinion would assist in possibly persuading Sahin to join. Obviously I wouldn't buy Turan simply to facilitate signing someone else, I think that Turan should be signed anyway.
On Ninis would we be interested or would we be put off by
his desire to join united

Chris in Tamworth

{Ed002's Note - I am surprised that Liverpool have not followed up with Arda but that is where we are. As for Ninis, as I say it is quiet. There has been the occasional thought that a German side might be interested but I have no record of Liverpool being interested at all. I suspect that Liverpool have a very different player in mind for central midfield.}

Even you have to agree, Gerrard is going to be very difficult to replace.
- - - - - - - -
Well, obviously not as difficult to replace him as say 2 seasons ago. Our results & performances recently without him in the team would suggest so. This is not to say that I want him gone. He still has a lot to offer but maybe not as the saviour he has been in the past. Hopefully just another important player in a very good squad.

Damien Comolli's brother David (remember him?) has been scouting B&Q, Homebase and several camping shops to find a marquee for Liverpool's signings in the summer. In a statement to bringbackxabialonso.com, Mr Comolli gave a statement saying 'We are looking for a young, talented marquee that can do more than simply keep out the rain. Prices for marquees these days are very expensive. It would probably be cheaper if we bought Goodison Park, and used Mr Fellaini's hair to keep us dry whilst introducing our major signings of Ronald Zubar and Gary Megson, to the press.'

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 15:33:11
Yes you did have a bad start this season, and with all the changes you will make in the summer, you will have a difficult start to next season, it will take your new players a while to settle in, especialy the players new to the EPL.

Ed out of interest who do you like the look of out of our young/ youth players and who do you think look positive to make it?

Do you think their will be a marque signing in the summer and if so who would you put your money on for the marque signing if you were a betting man/ woman?

Also ive seen a few Lavezzi rumours over the past few days is that just his agent drumming up interest in the player or do you think there is anything in it? {Ed002's Note - You need Ed001 to answer the first part about the kids. As for a marquee signing - I am not going to speculate. Lavezzi - I think there is a possibility, but keep in mind that Liverpool's interest in Lavezzi pre-dates the January window. He has an agent in Frederic Guerra who does a really good job of talking up his players without being pushy; and a fabulous technique where he denies interest in his players from major clubs thereby attracting attention to them. It is also possible that he will stay at Napoli who will almost certainly have Champions League football next season.}

With everybody stengthening there teams next season, I think Liverpool will finish in the same position in the EPL, its not a derogatory remark its just to get into the top four will be as hard next season as this
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
There is no doubt that Man Utd, Chelsea & Citeh will add to their squads this summer, but they already have strong squads so they will be replacing like for like ( Van der Sar for De Gea, or Drogba maybe for Aguero for example). Our situation is completely different. We are not replacing the likes of Gerrard, we are trying to assemble a strong squad & replace the likes on Konch, Aqua, Insua, The Greek, Ngog etc who bring nothing to our team. So I agree that teams will buy big this summer but I think the biggest changes will be within our team. Also remembering that this is a team who already have beat this season Utd, Chelsea (twice), Citeh & also drew with the Gunners ( twice), sometimes with as many 4 first team players out of the team. It's not the big teams that give us most problems, it's the lesser ones & for that it's more about attiitude & commitment than big players. I'm excited for next season if we can buy the correct players & for that you need a crystal ball! ! Anyone?

If we are going to sign a LB then we must be selling Glen Johnson. We're not going to keep the #1 English RB on the bench when he could fetch us 15M on the market. I think Flan and Robinson has saved us close on 25M with how they've performed recently. I understand they are not ready for a full season yet but with Glen and Kelly we can spell them and blood them slowly. I would bring in Ayala and send Wilson out on loan next year for the season. Our back 4 of the future is already here IMO. I cash in on Agger now and spend that cash on a right sided out and out winger.

****TRANSFER NEWS ****

Hello again people, from the man who brought you first news on Torres wanting to leave LFC - i told you all that once he changed his hair style, it was evident he wanted to move on. .

Anyway- Liverpool transfer news:

Stop with all the copying and pasting talksport givemefootball caughtoffside rubbish that you get from newsnow. Liverpool will be doing business the liverpool way- and that is away from the tabloids!

Meireles was an example of this and under Kenny we will be even more shrewd as he epitomoises the liverpool way!

so who are the likely arrivals?

Kenny has identified width as our biggest problem be it as wing backs of the Lesaux mould he enjoyed at Blackburn or as the direct winger us fans crave.

Aqua will leave first and the fee although announced undisclosed to (suit all parties) will be around £12m mark.

Sources believe we have a firm interest in pablo hernandez of valencia. Not your obvious choice but this move is believed to allow Suarez to concentrate more on a central attacking role.

Second player we are interested in is Rossi of villareal. Lots of noise about Lavezzi and Even Cavani but Rossi is more suited to the owners strategy and Comollis science of football- young, marketable, and has a resale value.

Thoughts?

Watch this space. .

Work on new signings has been constant since the last window closed, with Liverpool seeming to have made provisions for first, second and third choice targets, its a very srewd way to go about buiness, it seems to me a much better transfer structure is being put in place at Liverpool, and I think it will create a title challeging team but not next season, but maybe the season after when all your main transfer targets are aquired.

Hi ED. With Marveaux basically a done deal, i think Liverpool need atleast two mor wingers. Which two of these wingers do you think we should go for from this list:

Dzsudzsak
Perotti
Elia
Payet
Marin
A.Johnson
A.Young
Lee
Menez {Ed001's Note - Johnson and Payet or Lee.}

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 14:01:42
The posters on this site have mentioned just about every player they can think of, and some of the Eds say interest has been shown in some players from outside the EPL, but I do believe you will make a couple of signing of players from outside of the EPL, it will depend on where your manegement team decide you need to strengthen, and which players will move on to other clubs.

{Ed002's Note - The owners got pushed back in an approach for Jose Mourinho a few months ago which means that they have at least considered moving Mancini on. I would not be surprised by a move for Didier Deschamps either. I expect that Mancini will probably leave, with a number of players who are either out on loan or on the fringe of the first team.}

But imagine there will be a lot of players leaving City this summer. Question, do you think City would sell someone like Milner or Johnson to us?

A few months ago, they were 5th and it looked like Spurs were getting 4th. Now there going to get 4th and could easily bring home the fa cup.

Well can you believe it a Liverpool supporter wishing Torres good luck, annything to finish above Spurs, LONDON derbys are very hard to win, and that's why its difficult for teams from the capital to win the prem, one LONDON team will be replaced in the prem by another next season, so nothing changes in the amount of derbys that will get played.

Yes you did have a bad start this season, and with all the changes you will make in the summer, you will have a difficult start to next season, it will take your new players a while to settle in, especialy the players new to the EPL.

We have the core of the team there already and with pre-season under our belts(hopefully most signings will have been made)we'll be fine and if new players are taking time to bed in we can rotate the team.We will never start a season as bad as we did under Roy Hodgson.The original poster is running scared and obviously know's who we are signing in the summer!Please tell us?Who are we getting that are new to the EPL?

Roy {Ed001's Note - that depends on if Mancini stays, half the team are unhappy with him, understandably because he is a terrible coach.}

Do you expect him to stay if they make top 4 and possibly win the fa cup? City are a good side on paper, but have no team spirit whatsoever.

I just keep hoping that Adam Johnson is one of the unhappy players and requests a move away from City. He's their best player bar Tevez.

Good luck to former Liverpool player Fernando Torres today. We need a result against spurs now. I do believe everything worked out for the best, and although he will regret his decision on a personal level, our club is stronger for it.

Agree with the original poster, If Spurs fail to qualify for Europe then I do think their days are over , I would expect few of their players to leave and they'll need to start all over . However I think the top 4 will be hard to break into, Man city can only get better , Chelsea and United are far too strong and can only get stronger (both clubs have massive spending plans this summer), our only hope is to overtake Arsenal , which won't be an easy task.

Roy {Ed001's Note - that depends on if Mancini stays, half the team are unhappy with him, understandably because he is a terrible coach.}
= = = = = = = =
I can't see him (Mancini) staying on a couple of Italian clubs are after him and I think it will suit all concerned if he moved.I also think Tevez will leave, but I would still say they will have enough left to leave them strong, a couple more signings and they 'll be even stronger, most likely they have CL next year which in top of their money is a strong attraction to the big players.

Matt 27 {Ed002's Note - Where's Joey Barton?}


no thanks mate, think its paper talk to be honest, his contract is nearly up, hes a local lad, and set up a few of carrolls goals. theres nothing really coming out of anfield at the moment so they are putting 2 an 2 together to write a story, there maybe an interest, but would be to disruptive. bellamy didn't last to long, and he came with a rep. was just going on who we have been linked to a if the rumours are true it could be next seasons team, think it would do alright at home, maybe change one or two on awy games.

hey ed, that could be a realistic look at next years team sheet, going on rumours, and news paper talk, not a major spend, once sales of aquilani, jovanovic etc are sold. and apart from the two local lads its very young. if players such as adam and marveiux are signed, to go with existing senior players johnson, kuyt, agger srktel, cole, lucas and all the emerging youth talent in spearing flannagan robinson, sterling etc the squad depth would be very deep.
do you see the above as possible, and do you like the look of the team?

Players I think we should target:

Wingers - Hulk, Perotti, Marin, Payet, Bastos, A.Johnson (Two needed)

Left back - Cissokho, Monreal, Coentrao, Emmanuelson (One needed)

Central midfield - Banega, Defour, Sahin, Pjanic (One needed)

Centre back - Sakho, Kjaer, Dominguez (One needed)

Extra striker - Sturridge, Lavezzi, L.Traore, Bojan, Dempsy (One needed)

Attacking midfielder - Honda, William, Carlos Eduardo, Hamsik (Possibly one needed)

Goalkeeper - Lloris, De Gea, Neur, Adler, (One needed if Reina leaves)

Top quality players are needed if we are to compete at the top, not average players such as Jarvis, Adam, Baines and the like.

regardless of who we sign i think if we just get players that are better in certain positions we can challenge for the title next season, just need to improve our away performances cos currently our home performances are usually fantastic

{Ed002's Note - The place goes to the highest fair-play ranked teams in each of the countries, not the next placed team in the league. England are second right now and the place will almost certainly go to Fulham. It will certainly not go to Liverpool for being sixth in the league.}

Ed, there has been many disagreements about which top player will be interested in coming to Liverpool. Liverpool could offer regular first team appearances which could benefit young players more than being left on the bench for a CL team. The reputation of the club will always help players to known that the club is always targeting trophies. And finally Liverpool have Kenny who could use his charm.

Seburu {Ed002's Note - By the very nature of not being from the EPL means that they have not been proven in the premier league. I don't know the context of the original quote but certainly players get a lot more protection from the refs in Italy and Spain.}

The standard and balance of clubs overall in the EPL is far greater than that of any other league in the world. On top of that, its known for its physicality compared to, like you say La Liga where small skillfully players excel, strong players like Drogba and Rooney will generally do better in the EPL.

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 04:33:08
Ed how do you rate our chances of getting Edin Hazard??

I personally think there are no reasons why he wouldn't come.

Has he ever said he won't come to Liverpool??

Please post I really wanna kno your opinion Cheers

Oh and how much would he cost??

Id like to clear something up please eds. Prem proven , is that due to toughness , skill or physicality because don't get me wrong liverpool is my team but as far as the prem goes i don't see it much tougher than the spanish or italian leagues . the teams that are in the top 4 arent exactly filled with british players or foreign players that have played their whole carreer in england so i don't understand prem proven, in south america the tackles are worse and they come more often than in england arguably spain has more skillful players and italy is alot about tactics.So how does that not make players from those areas not prem proven?
thanks love the sight

Ed could you plse answer me this why are so many people against Barton joining our club?

personally yeah he has had his issues and yeah he was a thug, but we brought Carroll didn't we, and i think for the figures being qouted he would be a good signing. he is physically strong and i see him as a perfect player to come in when S.G is injured which surely will happen. Barton would add that bite in midfield, can operate on the right wing but his passing is really good and he is 100 times better than Adam.

your thoughts ed plse {Ed002's Note - I think you have answered it yourself.}

Classic LFC keeping all stuff behind closed doors from the public, all as usual except for a slight something, it's spread like wild fire around germany (where I live) that Liverpool are in fact very close to agreeing terms for the young Gotze, youthful player. . bright future ahead of him - guaranteed, however Dortmund are apparently asking for something around £15 million similar money to Ashley young or M'vila. . What's the thought on that? Also heard a deal for kaka may not be too far off the mark, if LFC finish in 5th and fork out the right cash for madrids acceptance, he may well be on his way to merseyside. . kaka isn't like most modern footballers today, he gives half his weekly wages to the church for charity and you Liverpool supporters should not write Kaka off just yet, 5th spot and the right bid may just interest the brazillian magician for a go in the EPL.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Dirk Kuyt also donates a good percentage of his money to charity, I don't see what that has to do with anything.

Ed- Could you just clarify the situation regarding Joe Cole's contract and the potential complications surrounding his transfer to other clubs this summer. My understanding is that if he is willing to go to another club, and agrees terms with them, that he would still demand the full signing-on fee LFC agreed with him last summer: the alternative being that we agree to cancel his contract, therefore allowing him to move to another club, and negotiate a lovely fat signing on fee with them. Why is it not a simple case of receiving a fee from another club for his transfer? And if not, does it not suggest that Cole's only motivation to to leech up as much money on his journeyman travels as he can and offer very little in return. {Ed002's Note - When Joe Cole signed for Liverpool a signing on fee was agreed as it is with all "free transfers". Instead of paying this as a lump sum, it is spread over the length of his contract and added to his wages each week or month. If he were to leave that fee needs to be paid up in full subject to any contractual conditions. If we say it was £3M as an example, then Cole leaving at the behest of Liverpool after, as an example, one year of a three year contract means that £2M will still be owed. If he decides to leave of his own volition, then that is a different matter and will be dealt with in his contract. I am not so sure he will be leaving this summer in any case.}

Also nothing on wingers, looks like Jarvis is our man, hip hip hooray. {Ed005's Note - I'm sure in the space of 5-10mins you checked all of the archives? Deary me what a quick reader. I maintain that ED002 said there was interest in Pastore however there was no chance as we couldn't afford the fee and he wouldn't come, similar reasons for Sanchez. Can you read kiddo? If you read through all of the archives or even my previous post, we had a bid turned down for Llorente, and Benzema was not for sale as Madrid were short on strikers. Again, I still maintain that he mentioned Liverpool interest in both players but also followed it up by saying that there was no chance in the players. If I'm wrong about either or both fair enough, but I distinctly remember the Pastore information. LOL, how can you be proven right? I could name 100 players and you could say only 2 are quality then claim to be proven right. I've already mentioned atleast three quality players we have shown an interest in, but since you seem abit slow I'll mention more we have shown an interest in: Gervinho, Payet, Defour, Baines, Cahill, Lavezzi, Perotti, Erikson, Sissoko, Sakho, M'Vila, Cissokho are players we've shown atleast minor interest in via scouting for example. We've had so many names watched, and so many teams watched which contain quality players so if you can't find 3 quality players out of them then you are either hard to please or extremely stupid. I personally feel in Gervinho, Sissoko, Sakho (examples) could be three I mentioned. And things are done so discreetly at Liverpool now - neither of us know exactly who is being looked at. PS: Jarvis was a Hodgson target now, whether he is a Dalglish/ DC target is unknown.}

How old are you again, kid. Don't get so worked up.

I could check easily via the search bar at the top and you can search for the info you want (yes you can do that now). I'll teach you how to use it one day. Lavezzi agent has said we watched him pre-January but haven't since. Also you say Gervinho, I did say players that most top clubs would wang. Only other team interested in him is Newcastle. I'll admit you named more players then I'd first thought. Secondly most of those players are just unrealistic too. Payet? He's been to every PSG game since January that hasn't clashed with his current side games. Eriksen has said twice in the past that he won't go to Anfield anytime soon. That's 4 players that'll pretty much ruled out their.

So seriously, you need to stop throwing the toys out the pram at every debate, kid!

Goodnight ed's! {Ed005's Note - Ah, so because other top teams aren't in for a player it means he's not quality? Ok! And it doesn't matter if Payet won't sign (there is a good chance he could) or Erikson said he won't come - you asked me to name players we're interested in which are consider quality and I named players we've had watched/been interested in. Another thing people seem to forget is that not every player we sign is for the starting XI. We're also trying to improve our squad in the Summer.}

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 03:21:03
{Ed005's Note - Actually, bids were put in for Llorente and Benzema however due to a shortage of strikers, Madrid didn't want to sell. Bilbao turned down our offer for Llorente. As I emphasise, a look through the archives and you would know this information. Actually, Ed002 has said there is no chance of Pastore or Sanchez, but has talked of interest. Once again, read the archives and you will know this. You asked for three quality players and I mentioned atleast four in Sissoko, Sakho, Llorente and Benzema (discounted Pastore and Sanchez as you won't bother reading). I guess you won't admit you are wrong then. For arguements sake, I'll name a third in Cristian Erikson of Ajax (just for you petal). But like I said, whether a player is quality or not is a matter of opinion. WHY ASK ME TO NAME THREE QUALITY PLAYERS WE'VE BEEN LINKED WITH TO PROVE MY POINT RIGHT ON THE BASIS THAT YOU JUDGE WHETHER THEY ARE QUALITY OR NOT? (sorry, accidental caps lock!).}

I just checked and he hasn't even mentioned of any interest of Pastore or Sanchez. So if you check yourself you might realize this. So sorry but you are making up bulls**t on that matter.

It was clear we bid for Llorente on deadline day and they said he is not available for any price until the summer. So we were getting him and Carroll, even if you might think so.

A player of quality is everyone opinion. This is why we're debating! !

I'm not going to admit I'm wrong for the simple reason your making up crap. Eg, Sanchez, Benzema, Llorente (before deadline day) and Pastore. We probably did bid for Benzema and Llorente but they didn't join because we went for Carroll instead.

I've looked through this page and ed002 clearly hasn't stated that we're interested. He has said City and Juventus are Interested but not us. On the Sanchez matter, Ed002 uses the same and post copy and pasted response saved on the computer and he uses it every time someone asks about Sanchez, try reading it "petal" and there's nothing in it about "interest from us". I'm sure many people can back me up on this.

Let's wait till the summer and see what happens. I'm sure I'll be proven right. But let's see.

Also nothing on wingers, looks like Jarvis is our man, hip hip hooray. {Ed005's Note - I'm sure in the space of 5-10mins you checked all of the archives? Deary me what a quick reader.

I personally feel in Gervinho, Sissoko, Sakho (examples) could be three I mentioned. And things are done so discreetly at Liverpool now - neither of us know exactly who is being looked at. PS: Jarvis was a Hodgson target now, whether he is a Dalglish/DC target is unknown.}

{Ed005's Note - Whether a player is quality or not is a matter of opinion don't you think? But worthwhile mentioning that we bid for Llorente and Benzema for example - targets for top clubs including Man Utd. We enquired for Defour who I consider quality and who Man Utd admire. Ed002 has mentioned that we've shown interest in players like Pastore and Sanchez despite them being unrealistic. Sakho, Sissoko are two quality young lads we've shown an interest in. Again, the archives are there and perhaps you should read them as I am sure there are more - much of it comes down to opinion, but you have mentioned recent examples used.}

A players ability is of opinion, this is why we're having this debate here.

Llorente and Benzema was going to be signed with the Torres money. Why didn't we sign them? Because we used the Torres money on Carroll instead.

United's interest in Defour was ages ago, although he is quality, his injuries would probably put a lot of people off. Also just signed a new 5 year deal.

Sakho is one, I'll give you that. Sissoko is another so that's two.

Also you say ed002 said we are interested in Sanchez and Pastore, well every time he's been asked regarding them two, he's said that we've not even looked at him. So one of you two are bulls**tting and I don't think it's him.

Well you got two, not quite 3 but I guess it's all smiles and fun. Funny enough no wingers are mentioned, yet we are seriously lacking in that department. I guess we're saving those spots for the mighty Matt Jarvis and Ashley Young lmao. God United will be so envious of us considering they've only got Valencia and Nani lmao.

We'll walk the league, all down to Matt Jarvis. But in all seriousness, their decent players but they aren't players who's be the difference in a title chase (like Nani or Giggs has been for United). I just hope we don't do that. {Ed005's Note - Actually, bids were put in for Llorente and Benzema however due to a shortage of strikers, Madrid didn't want to sell. Bilbao turned down our offer for Llorente. As I emphasise, a look through the archives and you would know this information. Actually, Ed002 has said there is no chance of Pastore or Sanchez, but has talked of interest. Once again, read the archives and you will know this. You asked for three quality players and I mentioned atleast four in Sissoko, Sakho, Llorente and Benzema (discounted Pastore and Sanchez as you won't bother reading). I guess you won't admit you are wrong then. For arguements sake, I'll name a third in Cristian Erikson of Ajax (just for you petal). But like I said, whether a player is quality or not is a matter of opinion. WHY ASK ME TO NAME THREE QUALITY PLAYERS WE'VE BEEN LINKED WITH TO PROVE MY POINT RIGHT ON THE BASIS THAT YOU JUDGE WHETHER THEY ARE QUALITY OR NOT? (sorry, accidental caps lock!).}

{Ed005's Note - The other eds have actually stated many players we have looked at, a number of them being quality players, perhaps you should read back through the archives and see this as opposed to just ignorantly picking out two players you don't like to try and back up your point.}

I've read this page for around everyday for 6-7 months. I get the gist of most players. Like we're scouting Porto yet no one knows who we're watching. Could be anyone, could be their bench keeper. Or the psv winger who's decent yet, nothing special (I watch psv a lot and I know).

If you care to prove me wrong and name me a few players to back up your point like I have mine then go on. Name a few players who are proper quality who most of our rivals would want badly. If you name 3 then I'll admit I was wrong. {Ed005's Note - Whether a player is quality or not is a matter of opinion don't you think?

{Ed005's Note - We have had quality looked at on many occassions this season, it is not as simple getting them as you think due to the fact that other teams who offer CL football are also looking at them. There is absolutly no reason why we can't sign quality though, but we just won't be getting the likes of Sanchez as we are in the real world and not Football Manager. And perhaps you should stop reading the papers to find out who we are "looking at".}

How am I reading the papers? It's pretty well known we went after Young and Adam on the final day of the window.

You say we can looking at quality players, yet no one on this site actually gives names. The only names the ed's actually give are Joey Barton, Adam, Enrique that no other top team is looking at.

I understand players like Pastore and Sanchez are unrealistic but there are still quality young players who are currently better then Young or Adam and have the potential to get better.

You know this and I know this, you just say totally unrelated stuff like "you are reading the paper to see who we are looking at' yet the ed's who are itk say the exact same thing lol. Joey Barton for instance, paper says we're interested then the Ed says Daglish is interested in him. {Ed005's Note - The other eds have actually stated many players we have looked at, a number of them being quality players, perhaps you should read back through the archives and see this as opposed to just ignorantly picking out two players you don't like to try and back up your point.}

{Ed001's Note - I think you will find the most important thing of all is how we play, after all United's team is not the best is the Premier League yet it is strolling to the title.}

That's because they have SAF in charge, who is by far the best manager in the league. Also they have spent a lot of money too, Anderson 20 million, Rooney 30 million, Nani 20 million, Berbatov 30 million, Ferdinand 30 million, Carrick 18 million and then Scholes, Giggs etc. They had a few good buys but they still spent a lot of money. And they will probably spend more then us once again this summer, they probably already have a goalkeeper lined up in De Gea.

Or us where at one point looked like we couldn't afford Suarez, even you admitted to such a thing too.

I'm no itk but no Ed with info or anyone with true reliable info has even said that we've been scouting a top rated player. All I've heard is Ashley Young, Joey Barton or Charlie Adam, who would not even get into a title challenging side. Just ask ed007 thoughts on Charlie Adam and that'll say it all really. Well what are your thoughts on these players ed001. Ashley Young you don't rate, Barton who should still be behind bars or Charlie Adam who is a decent player but we could do far better. {Ed005's Note - Our interest in Suarez pre-dates the sale of Torres - that deal could have happened without the Torres money. What you spend on a player doesn't determine his ability. Many would say that on paper Man Utd don't have the PL's best team, one would argue that two or three teams are better on paper. I'm sure Dalglish and DC are looking at quality.}

{Ed001's Note - Dalglish was forced to sell Newcastle's star players and reduce the wage bill, hardly a position he is in now. This is the man who brought to Liverpool the most exciting football I have ever seen, Barca are boring and negative in comparison to the way Dalglish had us playing with Barnes and Peebo. I really don't care what Chelsea do and I don't understand how it is relevant? I do agree I am dubious about DC, but he didn't do badly with Suarez did he? With Kenny guiding things I am confident the right players will join for the right prices and we won't be convinced to buy the overhyped foreign player that all the media are verbally masturbating over. We did that under Houllier, buying the likes of the 'next Zidane' Cheyrou and Diouf. The best buys the club has made have not been big names, who amongst us had heard of Pepe Reina before we signed him?}

Pepe Reina was a fantastic buy. But how many times has that sort of buy turned bad? That type of buy happens very rarely.

So your saying that the forgein players that the media are "verbally masturbating over" like Sahin, Sanchez, Mata etc are as good as the "premier league proven" players like Jarvis, Young. If your serious implying that then your nuts. I don't think you are though.

You may not care directly on what Chelsea are doing but if we are planning on competing (like our owner said we would) we need to compete on and off the field financially too. Like they say, you pay for what you get. You buy cheaper players who have done decently for weak premier league teams or talented youngsters who have the potential to turn world class.

I for one doubt we can compete, and so far my thoughts are looking correct. To early to tell but ATM we're so far looking at premier league proven players who'll do alright and our rivals are looking at players with world class potential.

Suarez and Carroll only came because we had the Torres and Babel money. I doubt we'd have signed Suarez if we didn't sell Torres either.

I know Daglish had one arm tired behind his back at Newcastle but his replacements for the stars he sold we're very very poor. {Ed001's Note - I think you will find the most important thing of all is how we play, after all United's team is not the best is the Premier League yet it is strolling to the title.}

Wouldn't you agree to a certain extent Ed? {Ed001's Note - nope, not at all, we are looking for players that will improve our side, much as I love Sanchez as a player the price and demands Udinese are making on interested parties make him out of the question. We need to just trust that the club will buy the right players rather than hoping for big name players that might not be able to cope with the Prem but are great on FM, FIFA and youtube. There is no saying we will be buying the players you are referring to anyway, just because we tried for them in Jan does not mean they will be targeted again in the summer.}

So because we tried to sign them in January and the fact we've been watching these players since January does not mean we will go after them? Of course it means we'll go after 1 or 2 of them.

Trust the club? Under Comolli who's repetition is as bad as it comes. Daglish has got a mixed record. At Newcastle he sold the clubs star players and brought in average players at best.

Also you say we watch these guys on YouTube or FIFA and get our opinions from that. Well I watch these guys on telly often and for example Sahin is better then Adam. Sanchez is better then Young and please don't for a second say he isn't.

No Ed has actually said we're looking at a big name signing or a talented young player from Europe. Closest we got is "we're watching porto". Could be anyone from there. Could be there reserve keeper for all we know.

Maybe I'm negative, I like to think I'm poitive but looking at the City site saying Sanchez, Pastore and Aguero will arrive and same with Hazard and Arsenal. The Chelsea Ed saying Chelsea spend ooz's of millions on talent. Aguero, Neymar, Sanchez just to name a few. {Ed001's Note - Dalglish was forced to sell Newcastle's star players and reduce the wage bill, hardly a position he is in now.

Hi guys it's me again,

I have more news on Milner as promised. Milner had words with Mancini after being substituted at Anfield! Milner wants to play first team football and not a bit part role!
Liverpool know he's not happy an enquired a few days later about his availability in the summer. Man City quoted £20 million an Liverpool offered £15 million according to my source. This will be enough to bring him to Anfield.

Also heard Alonso will remain in Madrid 100% true! His family do not want to move back to England same goes for Mascherano!

{Ed005's Note - Some top players are being looked at and there's no reason why we can't get them however many would want CL football.}

Top players being looked at such as:

Let me guess, Ashley Young, Joey Barton, Gary Cahill, Matt Jarvis, Charlie Adam all these wonderful world class players who'll get offers from every club in Europe? No!

Every time I check out this site, it seems like every top top young player Sahin, Turan, Mata, Coentrao, Sanchez, Hazard, Pastore have not been on interest to us. When I see people ask an Ed who's interted in who, they say most of our rivals are interested in these type of players but NEVER us.

I dunno really. Just seems like players who I along with many people really want, are being watched by our rivals but not by us. We're scouting players who aren't as good players other teams are scouting (Example, Chelsea interested in Sahin, we're interested in Adam or Barton, Example City, United, Chelsea interested in Sanchez, we're interested in Young, Example, Arsenal interested in Hazard, we're intrested in Jarvis).

I know football is more then just natural ability but I would like to think that we could at least try to sign a couple of these quality, well known influx of top young talent.

I just think to many people expect us to sign these fantastic players such as Sanchez, Hazard, Sahin etc but in actually fact we sign Young, Jarvis, Adam, Enrique and many will feel positive about the sesson but inside they feel a little disappointed.

Wouldn't you agree to a certain extent Ed? {Ed001's Note - nope, not at all, we are looking for players that will improve our side, much as I love Sanchez as a player the price and demands Udinese are making on interested parties make him out of the question.

Hey guys this is what i feel KK will need in the summer transfer window, and ed what do you reckon to the chance of this team for next year?

Cahill - was top quality on the 3 occasions ive seen him play against us solid and has great threat in the other penalty area.

johnson - Direct winger and good deliverer of the ball can also play an intelligent pass at the right time.

Downing - Only problem could be history of injury but a different player who can play on either wings.

cordoza - my slim chance but would think hed make a great addition and a different option.

reina

kelly cahill agger carra

a.johnson gerrard merieles downing

carrol suarez

robinson
cordoza
kuyt
lucas
spearing
skrtle
johnson

this would also mean a number of players could also play diff positions if needed. {Ed001's Note - highly unlikely and I must have watched a different Cahill hoofing the ball to Kevin Davies week in week out if there is a top class one!}

Liverpool will not sign Alonso, the only reason you people post apparent rumours of this is because you want it to happen, he is old now and would be a bad signing.

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

Are you having some sort of joke mate? Although there may not be any truth in the Alonso rumour, saying he is old and would be a bad signing is the biggest load of rubbish i've ever heard. The 08-09 season when we came so close to the title was mainly down to Xabi Alonso and he was our best player that season by a long shot. Our drop in performances and league position is not coincidental, it is because he left. There is no doubt he was idolised by the Kop, and having him back would be amazing for everyone involved with the club and prove to the players and fans the club is going in the right direction.

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 00:30:35
{Ed001's Note - it would have to be Sahin, though I would say Alonso is a better passer than Xavi myself, but Xavi outweighs him overall as a player.}

I got one for you. Who's a better passer. Xabi Alonso or Paul Scholes. Just focus on their passing ability and I think it's next to impossibly to decide. Both have incredible passing range, and ability. I'll leave this for you to decide Ed, oh and don't wear Liverpool tinted specs lol. {Ed005's Note - Xabi Alonso is the best passer of the ball I've ever seen personally. Scholes is an outstanding player and a great passer though, but Xabi Alonso is better in my eyes. Although I am bitter towards Alonso for leaving for Real Madrid - so no tinted specs being worn here.}

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 00:32:43
Does anyone else think Warnock will be an option for left back in the summer? Was just thinking with the emergence of the young lads at full back maybe Kenny would settle for an effective but older and cheaper player as to not hamper their development whilst still improving make up of the overall squad?

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 00:22:48
Bring Xabi home! ! ! {Ed001's Note - extremely unlikely with either, but you never know, not everyone sees Liverpool in terms of their present position, just ask Turan who has the Liverpool crest on the wall of his house. I would not expect either player though.}

Well without champions league football it is a lot harder to attract top class players, its not impossible but it's a damm sight harder. Especially if every big club in Europe is after the same player too.

Sahin hasn't shown to be a Liverpool fan while Arda Turan has. I'm sure Alonso would come back with or without cl but Madrid wouldn't less unless Jose stays and they may let him go for cheaper then normal (15 million perhaps). I remember reading an article from Alonso after they won the cup, and he said that it's the first time that the move to Real was worth it. I am confused why players want to go to Real, they don't exactly have much chance at trophies and they're always going to be weaker then Barcelona until Messi leaves or loses that ability.

The Arda Turan has always been weird from day one. I'm amazed we didn't at least try for him. He's a brilliant player and has amazing stats for club and country. Wouldn't cost to much (around 13 million) and can play left wing, which we need. Only concern is that he isn't a true out an out winger.

{Ed002's Note - Bottom line remains that the club are not showing an interest. Atletico, Villareal and Vallencia are.}

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 00:22:59
Dont really know why everyones saying they hate barton so much, ok he get very carried away which is something liverpool will need to sort out, but he has a fantastic workrate and has a will to win, a bit like gerrard. Also he worked well with carrol at newcastle and may help to bring the best from him

 

 

 

 

30 Apr 2011 00:07:46
{Ed001's Note - it would have to be Sahin, though I would say Alonso is a better passer than Xavi myself, but Xavi outweighs him overall as a player.}

Any chance of Sahin to Anfield? I know if he is available then every club in Europe will be after him, and we're not the most attractive club ATM.

Maybe do a swap with Madrid, Gerrard for Alonso. Any chance of that happening?

Bring Xabi home! ! ! {Ed001's Note - extremely unlikely with either, but you never know, not everyone sees Liverpool in terms of their present position, just ask Turan who has the Liverpool crest on the wall of his house. I would not expect either player though.}

{Ed005's Note - Alonso is far better at passing than Cesc Fabregas!}

If admit Xabi is slighty better then Fabregas but I think Xavi is a better passer then Alonso.

Who do you think is the closest person to Alonso ATM. Let's be honest, he ain't coming back to Anfield. I'd guess Sahin is fairly similar. {Ed001's Note - it would have to be Sahin, though I would say Alonso is a better passer than Xavi myself, but Xavi outweighs him overall as a player.}
