Confirmed what i posted about a hour ago that Harry Rednapp had made a last minute bid for Adam.
He confirms the bid was accepted but certain stakeholders in Blackpool didn't sign the necessary paperwork in time.
Would of been intresting to find out what they accepted for a fee and even more to find out if Aadm fancied it.

DISAPPOINTED! !
TORRES £50M BABEL £6M=£56M
LUIS £23M ANDY £35=GREAT BUYS
NESV SPENT £8M INC ROYS PAYOFF
FAILED TO SIGN ADAM HONDA TURAN ANY KIND OF LEFTBACK
NESV ARE A JOKE
31 Jan 2011 23:53:49
Adam was prepared to go to spurs
not what we need!
31 Jan 2011 23:52:55

I posted a minute ago about our net spend being £7M but I forgot Babel so actually we didn't spend anything!

I don't know about you ED(s) but I think that's about it, no more signings, no medicals after the event. Lets be thankful that a little bit of stubbornness and not letting FT go on the cheap means our new strike force has cost us 7.8 mil, not bad. What do you reckon. Onward and upward, YNWA.
31 Jan 2011 23:30:58
Liverpool Rumours
NESV can kiss my ass!
£8m spent and unwilling to meet ADAM bid + no HONDA no wingers no leftback, Chelsea have spent 8 times more than us, Villa have spent more.
LUIS and ANDY will be good for us , but with no real wingers I feel we missed a trick today.
NESV had the chance to prove to every liverpool fan that they had the spending power to match the big boys, buy failed to do so.
31 Jan 2011 23:30:03
Your thoughts on the window Ed (preferable Liverpool Ed)? Your predictions were quite incorrect this window lol, crazy window.

Not happy with torres don't b surprised if some1 takes him out sunday (gerrard/ carragher) but lfc bigger thn the mardy puff
anyway happy with suarez id say fee was about right also happy with carrol but prob alot more money than it should have.
also im rathet gutted tht no wingers was bought wouls love turan&sanchez on either side and would have been to c adam sign fot me hes the scottish alonso.

Harry is a tryer , how cum comoli gets crap for biddin low on players but wen he bids a mill for neville and beats liverpools 6.8m offer by 1.2m for adam he, s a ntryer? we made the mistake of a press release for konk before we, d tied down carrol, this bumped his price up as.newcastle new.we needed a home grown player
31 Jan 2011 23:28:39
Liverpool Rumours
S**t peice of business today
Suarez was slightly over priced
Carroll was waaaay over priced
£30mill for both would have been perfect
We should have pulled plug on Torres last second
not like they havent had all day
why did it go through last minute
Pathetic Adam wasnt allowed to leave
we were STRONGLY linked with Young
Houllier says no1 has made an approach
did we think he was just gonna magically become our player
all these other players we have talked about and not a mention all day on any of them
yet we've all been sayin "whats goin on with _ _ _ _ ed?"
nothing against the Ed's but they know more or less what we know
31 Jan 2011 23:28:22

I am really pissed off if no one at the club can see that we badly needed wingers I think we are a weaker team now then before the window very disapointed

Appently blackpool accepted bid of 7million from tottenham but missed out by a few mins.

31 Jan 2011 23:27:17
Liverpool Rumours
Gotta say that I'm actually really looking forward to seeing our new strike force, I think Liverpool gave everyone an idea that we mean business and come the summer there is 100% bound to be some more good business, a new era is starting my fellow reds now lets get behind the front two and ensure that Anfield becomes a fortress once more. Good Luck to Torres I wish him well and although I was sick to the stomach at first when I heard he wanted to go the feeling has now gone and I'm so chuffed that we busted a gut to get not only Suarez but even busted the bank to get a proven YOUNG ENGLISH player too. keep up the good work boys. IN KING KENNY WE TRUST. .Y.N.W.A.
New Line Up
Reina
Kelly
Carragher
Agger
Johnson/ Kuyt
Meireles/ Shelvey
Gerrard/ Lucas
Cole/ Maxi
Carroll/ Pacheco
Suarez/ Ngog
Would love to get Turan or A Young for right wing and Mata or Honda for left wing plus either Taiwo or Jose Enrique for left back and then we'll have a pretty damn good team and squad!
good times ahead guy. GOOD TIME! :-)

31 Jan 2011 23:27:09
Liverpool Rumours
Personally i am truly gutted about the imminent loss of fernando torres and i will take a long time do feel differently, but now i think we all have to come to terms with the fact that we have replaced him with two young stars maybe slightly over priced. But in terms of lfc it is for the best that these changes came about and we will hopefully benefit from the situation that has come about. I think we can all join together and wish fernando torres the best for the future. But we are liverpool football club and we will never walk alone.
31 Jan 2011 23:26:53

Harry Redknapp on Talks**te now moaning how the club missed out on the signing of Charlie Adam. Apparently, Adam was keen on the last minute move but Spurs missed out by two minutes. f***ing good. You've missed your chance now Charlie lid, no second chances in joining Liverpool in the summer after antics like that. Doesn't that show what a shower of gobs**tes the Blackpool board are? Does anyone think Spurs are playing footie manager games? P.s I hate Neville - I hate Everton - but 1.5million is a f***in insult.

Liverpool Rumours
Ed where do we go from here?
Paul the red {ed's note - nowhere mate. Thanks to the Carroll deal taking so long time stopped us getting more deals done.}
that is nonsense, there are 31 days in the transfer window, deals could and should have been done long before now.
we have no new wingers, one injury prone left back, a defense that's calamatous( i hope torres doesn't play on sunday , he will destroy skrtel and agger)
its been a poor first transfer window by our new owners
31 Jan 2011 23:25:42

Ed, any decent wingers in the reserves to give Carrol a supply to knock down to Suarez ?

Liverpool Rumours
Well, not sure if i'm happy with the proceedings if the day, but NESV sure can open the wallet, which is a good sign, along with the 5-and-a-half year contracts.
with the big man up front, but no real wingers, what formation do you think we'll play, 4-4-2 would be the obvious, but we can't really use carroll to his best without world-class wingers. formations anyone?
31 Jan 2011 23:23:26

Harry redknapp just on talksport. he said they missed out on adam by 2 minutes. fee would have been about £7 mil and was agreed by blackpool. What did we offer? and why did blackpool turn us down? oyston was on talksport earlier saying adam was going knowhere. like to know whats gone on?
31 Jan 2011 23:23:20
A big thanks to all the Ed's & providers of this site. A busy day folks - Cheers!
I'm not feeling so bad now as I was on Friday- now let's kick some ass! ! ! ! ! !

31 Jan 2011 23:23:12
Phew. That was a hell of a day.
Nice job on Carrol and Suarez. 2 really good strikers with huge potential replacing 1 world class. Increases options and covers us for form and injuries. Also stops us being predictable relying on one outlet all the time. Shame about Adam. Would have been a nice option. Summer maybe.
To NESV well done - would have been easy to sit on the cash and wait until summer citing over inflated market - but let's not go overboard. We still expect to see wingers, left back and new centre back in summer. The reality is you haven't dipped into your own pockets too much since the majority of outlay was covered by Babel and Torres fees.
To the muppets who burned the Torres shirts on TV. That was Liverpool shirts you were burning! This is LFC. This is not what I teach my son about this club and I now have to try and explain what he has seen. Ban these idiots from Anfield.
To Torres. Thankyou. you started out superb but through injury, the loss of Rafa and the H & G era you lost heart. And whilst it pains me to say I can understand your decision, I disagree with your timing, your choice of club and how you handled it. I also think you will one day look back and regret - but that is for time to tell.
To the eds. Superb site. And to everyone else keep it up. The comment about Torres training alone to get used to the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge was genius.
The line is drawn now. New 'old' boss. New owners. New players and a new era. Here's to number 19 and putting the Liver Bird back on it's perch.
YNWA.
31 Jan 2011 23:23:03
Liverpool Rumours
Tottenham tried to get Charlie Adams at the last minute. Its shocking. If the player wants to leave, then it would of made sense for him to come to us. Now he will have to go into training tomorrow and face all those people that thought he turned his back on them.
31 Jan 2011 23:22:52
Well how happy am i now that its all over
not overly concerned that fernando has gone, we have a good relacement in carroll, albeit at a slightly exhorbitant price, a new partner in suarez so up front we are sort of set
we unfortunately didn't bring ina left back, or more importantly a left wingers and i m more than a little miffed about this.
i didn't expect the earth from this window, i did exect nesv to dig into their own pockets to try and make some good signings on the referal from commolli, i m still wondering exactly what he does.
i had hoped slightly that's a deal could have been made for one of dzudsak , pablo hernandez nzogbia
all in all i m a little disappointed by the outcome of the window as a whole but not by our new striking options, i think carroll and suarez will do well for us
31 Jan 2011 23:22:43

Harry redknapp has just said he missed out on charlie adam by 2 minutes and they had bid 6-7 million, so why didn't their chairman take our offer for him
31 Jan 2011 23:22:31
Arry is now on talksport saying they missed out on adam by 2 mins, said they offered 6-7m, so what did we offer?
31 Jan 2011 23:22:20
Liverpool Rumours
To the person who said the owners must be mega rich because they speant 55 million in one day. the combined sales of torres and babel means they've actually made a profit.
31 Jan 2011 23:21:47
Liverpool have just signed Andy Murray for £20m . . . Kenny Daglish said he'd never seen anyone hit the net so many times in 90 mins
31 Jan 2011 23:20:53
Liverpool Rumours
Ok.so the business has been done. We have Luis Suarez and Andy Carrol for 23 + 35 = £58m
The middle of the park is still messed up. No Winger, no midfield center, Also no LBK and No CBK. We in fact have just wasted this transfer window. stephen Warnock and charlie Adams would of been better buys. Ashley Young too. Thats alot of money wasted on strikers that we didn't need. Did also use all our £10million budget in this window. Its shocking how much Newcastle got out of us.

It was reported earlier that Charlie Adam went to Melwood on a blackpool donkey for the medical.
When the deal collapsed David Moyes wanted to put a bid in for the donkey. . . . . . . .
Unfortunately Everton said they havnt got a carrot so deal collapsed,

31 Jan 2011 23:11:37
Liverpool Rumours
So the transfer window shuts and after all the excitement of the strong likelihood of us seeing 4 or 5 new faces, the day comes to an end with an all too familiar '1 in 1 out' finality.
Torres and Babel leave (£56mil)
Suarez and Caroll in (£58mil)
£2mil spent and our squad is no better off. We still lack width, we still lack pace and we have significantly strengthened our main rivals for the 4th champions league spot.
We should have done what Blackpool did and told Chelsea to come back in the summer. Who cares what Torres would have done, he had a contract with us!
I wonder how many more windows we will have to wait before we actually get the players we NEED! And I'm not buying any of this 'we tried' nonsense. Successful clubs don't try, they DO! Look at Chelsea? Go for Torres, are told no, they get him anyway. Go for Luiz, are told no, they get him anyway. And us? We pay way to much for our replacement or simply fail time and again with our attempts. We need to toughen up if we're serious about becoming great again because we have no more players we can sell for £50mil the next time we want to buy somebody!

All this statement of intent clap trap. What come in has gone out. The owners havn't spent a penny. Do they want us to be grateful that they've spent the babel nd torres receipts. No major progress, its as clear as day that NESV have know intention of investing on a where needed basis. Lets just hope theres a few hidden gems in the youth acadamey as this bunch won't be digging deep into their pockets.

31 Jan 2011 22:52:41
Liverpool Rumours
Ed(s) please post this as I am keen to get feedback from you and the rest of Liverpool fans out there:
Firstly why is everybody saying that the owners have spent money and congratulating them. We have sold Babel for £5-£6m a player with huge potential that in my eyes was never really given a fair crack at his preferred position and we have sold the best striker in the Prem and arguable one of the best in the World for £50m. Yes I appreciate one of them was lazy and one handed in a transfer request but look at the likes of Blackpool who have stuck to their guns and kept hold of their start player.
We have bought in 2 players for a combined fee of £58m so the net spend is in the region of £3m.
So my two questions are have the owners actaully invested any fresh funds into the club and do the Eds think we have actually had a good transfer window because I dont.
Cheers as always for a great site and doing a cracking job.
31 Jan 2011 22:51:48

Gotta say, sadly all a bit of a let down, got Carroll & Suarez, both good players but not the vital width we need or a left back. expected more, maybe unrealistically. . expectations for remainder of the season, fairly low.

Is the Adam deal officially dead now if so Oysten and Holloway could really regret this Adam in same position as Torres and Carroll both clubs had to release players to prevent unrest good luck blackpool now your best player hates the board small club playin with the bog boys come summer don't even think Adam will be on the radar his chance has gone thanks to his board

How stupid is Oyston?! ! Does he really think that denying Adam the opportunity of a lifetime is going to motivate him to play well for Blackpool for the rest of the season. He should have taken the latest offer and had replacements for Adam lined up that would help secure their place in the premiership. what a fool. Disappointing for Adam and Liverpool

With an hour to go, only suarez and (overpriced) carrol coming in. I'm feeling a little underwhelmed. obviously adam move blocked but what of honda, turan, elia glad to see new owners putting some money in but at a guess, net spend probably zero. One thing to remember guys, suarez and carrols fee not down to them and carrol put in a request to move aka torres. so until they prove otherwise they both get my full support.

hopefully with a net spend of zero, their should be plenty more funds for any summer purchases.

31 Jan 2011 21:59:49
Alright there s one hour left, there is no chance we will be getting in anyone else
so in summary our transfer window amounted to swapping torres and babel for suarez and carroll, with other areas of the team not strengthened.

Maybe Torres stayed in the summer because he thought under Hicks and Gillette that if he left then it would have seen Liverpool really enter a state of total decline. So perhaps he wanted to wait until he knew the club was in stable hands so he could face a new challenge with Chelsea. Probably wrong, but just a thought.

PLEASE TELL ME WHY?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?
some of you are just never satisfied, are you?
the owners spend money on players and they are wrong!
if they didn't spend they would be wrong!
just get off your high horses, give the ed's a break, and take today as it is intended, good owners let down by a players greed, so they move on and invest in our club , because they care about us and the club, and a damn site more than some of you do!
are you missing hicks and gillett that much!
sorry ed, rant over

Firstly, Thanks to all the Ed's for todays hardwork on the site well done please keep it up and to all the posters with their input, now a big thank you to NESV for putting up some money this is just the start hopefully they keep it up in the summer depending on who comes in before 11pm we only need 4/ 5 more decent players in the summer please also give KK the job fulltime and we will do brilliantly next season.
I'm delighted with the capture of Carroll big fee but I think he'll prove to be worth every penny and more, he is english and will not miss as many games as Torres and score as many goals as him too.Suarez an LFC player offical ssn.C'mon the reds, this is softening the blow of Torres leaving but still gutted he's going and will shed a tear when I see him in blue with terry and co.He will be wiped from my memory come 11pm as ever playing for us as he said he would not join another EPL club, lying traitor.

All the pansy media are in shock.

Carroll and Surez will be a VERY big handful for any EPL defense. They will scare the s@@t out of them. No more dirty Mancs tatics (Stoke, Bolton, Blackburn, etc), they will know they have been in a game.
The King is back, he knows how to build a team that will win the EPL. With all the young players coming through as well and with great owners, things are looking VERY rosie for the reds.
Torres, your loss, I wish you luck, but too much and not against the most succesful team in the history of English football, Liverpool Football Club.

I'm happy with Carroll and Suarez as our frontline. We've got those 2 for the price of Nando, more or less. What would you rather have bel = C & S or unbel Torres. Probably overpaid for Carroll but Chelsea have overpaid for Torres so it's all realtive.
31 Jan 2011 20:47:19
I know we are all glued to the tv and getting excited about all the reds activity and thanking NESV, however if we work it out they have only spent about £1 million.
Babel - £7m
Torres - £50m
Total - £57 mil
Carroll - £35m
Luis - £23m
Total - £58
not such big spenders
yeah and damed if you do damed if you don't the pwners have spent the money whats your problem they havent put it in there back pocket have they

I think the owners have done a wonderful job in this transfer window & it's not even over yet! We might still get someone else in. Under the circumstances we've done pretty well & I hope this puts an end to all the posters typing their bull about NESV being mercenaries. Still plenty to do with players not good enough for us but that is for another time! Another transfer window! It's time to get behind our new signings & the team & urge them up that table.

Carroll needs wingers
Message: I can't believe we are selling Torres and bringing in Carroll for £35m, for goodness sake.
Surely the best way to get the most out of Carroll is to have service from wide areas? We have no service from wide areas, no wingers (yet) so what is the point in getting him?
Or are we going to have a change of tactics, signing Adam to act as a 'quarterback' along with Agger and Carra pumping long balls up to the big lump Carroll with Luis and SG feeding off the scraps?!

I agree 35 mill for Carroll is a lot of money but at least is shows that we have got fantastic new owners trying to keep the club and fans happy.
I also know that Dalglish will be offered the job on a full time basis, and if he thinks he is good enough then so do i.
I know that i would prefer a fully committed Carroll than a half hearted Torres.
At last things are looking up.
Macca
Macca i totally agree with you. . .
I was gutted to hear that Torres was possibly leaving but to hear the news today i have to admit that i am over the moon happy. Carroll up front battleing all that lies before him and Suarez there to add craft and sheer quality finishing. We are now in a good place LFC and with KK in charge we are only going to get better and better!
C'mon Commolli let's sign Adam and Young.

31 Jan 2011 20:39:43
Liverpool Rumours
If we are going to go 4-3-3 it's not wingers we need, it's a cenbtre forward (carroll) two wide strikers (Kuyt and Torres) supported on the flanks by attacking full backs (Johnson plus a left sided one) that overlap the midfield.
So in theory all we need now is one more signing - an attack-minded left back.

The liverpool and chelsea agreement on torres has an agreement that he will not play on the 6th of February and is worth 35 million up front 10 million after 10 goals and 5 million based on appearances.
As for liverpool signings my source has just told me due to Karl Oyston's unwillingness to talk to liverpool, liverpool may turn to Scott Parker and also will launch a 18 million bid for Ashley young! To top it off they will sign gary cahill from bolton for between 12 and 15 million as he will force a move.

35 million may seem like a lot but the real cost needs to factor in the wages - I don't think Carroll will be quite so expensive as others we could have bought.
And as for the Suarez/ Carroll combination, it'll be great to see something in the mould of Keegan/ Toshack for the first time in a long time!

Nugget
These signing mean we'll have only spent £12m of our own cash. I expect at least one more signing!
A winger, then i'll be happy. We still have no pace or width. Suarez has pace but we need a winger or 2 with speed & some skill. Would even consider SWP if available - but highly unlikely. Turan for £15m / Hazard for £25m & we can all sleep sound as a pound

To everyone who i saying 35 million is too much for Carroll.
For years ye have been talking about the club lacking ambition. When united were paying over the odds for Rooney and Berbatov ye were complaining about liverpool not spending. When Chelsea and Man City were paying over the odds for their entire squad ye were complaining that liverpool were not buying enough.
Now we are. Spurs wanted him for 25 million and were refused. He wants to come to liverpool. And to be frank I think he will be a fantastic partner to Suarez. Better than torres would have been. He is 22. And I think it is an absolutely fantastic signing. And shows the ambitions of Kenny and the owners.

31 Jan 2011 20:17:27
Although the sums being talked about are ludicrous, there is a certain logic from FSG, I think. We'll probably never know the true amounts, but Carroll at £35m, Suarez at £22m, and Adam at £10m is £67m. If Liverpool really are receiving £50m for Torres, then they would have spent about £17m. That is close to the total of the original bids of £12m and £4m for Suarez and Adam respectively while getting rid of Torres' £110,000 per week wages. Might seem like a smart bit of business from their end."

Carroll & Suarez still play for Newcastle & Ajax respectively.
Please chri$t we'll sign a speedy & tricky winger in the next 2 & a half hours.

Thought it was good time to repost this. Hoping for more euphoria before 11 tonight.

"Originally from Gordon Milward"
The atmosphere at Anfield has been lacking for awhile
The players and the staff they did their best to smile
A new manager was needed, a man the people knew
A man of great stature in life there are a few
Dalglish is his name what changes can he bring
In remembered times gone by, his name the Kop would sing
Hard work would be ahead, he could only hope and pray
This man is full of courage. a man of yesterday
- - - - - - - -
He has come to take the reins of a depleted team
Their performance on the field the likes you've never seen
They'll wear the shirt with pride, they'll fight for all it's worth
Give their all with passion, never yield on the the Anfield turf
This man has seen some troubles, Hillsboro and Heysel too

We take Carroll for £35 million and Spurs get Rossi for £30 million. . Carroll is a good player but Rossi is a whole different level. How do Spurs do so well on these deals and we get screwed?
tottenham havent got rossi, and we not been screwed ull see, carroll is young, big strong, good striker, will be good for years to come, him and suarez will be lethal ull see

31 Jan 2011 20:04:23
Just think about it.With Gerrard and hopefully Adam feeding passes to Suarez and Carroll opposing defenders will be pooing themselves.Brilliant.Good times ahead for our club

Noted that people are still complaining. . Rossi for 30M the spuds are welcome to him! Carroll will rule the kop end and become a ledge. .Note that the stumbling point for the torres move was the image rights to take his salary up to 175K a week. .MERCENARY. .Torres who. .Tobiwan

I know we are all glued to the tv and getting excited about all the reds activity and thanking NESV, however if we work it out they have only spent about £1 million.
Babel - £7m
Torres - £50m
Total - £57 mil
Carroll - £35m
Luis - £23m
Total - £58
not such big spenders
{Editor Note: But the money being spent and offers being made before Torres left?}

On my 3rd heart attack this weekend already suarez signs - 1st heart attack
torres puts in transfer request - second heart attack and the pressure of today- 3rd heart attack
brilliant
liverpool back in the big time its a long time since we had good players coming in like today - torres can go with my blessing and i welcome carroll and suarez with open arms and i believe we have strengthened the team as both can score goals so instead of relying on one we now have 2 plus mereilkles, gerard kuyt maxi and hopefully charle adam to add goals from midfield - what a great day so far - are there anymore surprises?
michah richards 20million didn't see that coming but citeh rejected us maybe just maybe there is a surprise left in today
i just wonder what might happen in the summer NESV certainly look like they are willing to back the manager
god help the rest of the premier league and europe LIVERPOOL ARE BACK

Guys nesv said this was a poor window and that it was difficult to get value for money. .
We knew that players transfer fee's are blown up out of all proportion. SO WHY ARE WE THE ONLY TEAM GETTING RIPPED OF AGAIN!
Andy Carroll. .Is talented and shows promise that's all. .Not proven. .bad off field record. .David villa best striker in europe for the past few years proven in european and world football worth the same value?? ? 20m is generous for carroll. .
Charlie adam. . .It's not hard to stand out as talented in a team full of journeyman. .he has had good season so far that's it. .does that mean his value goes up from 500,000k to 14m. .do me a favour. .
Where are the wingers?? ? ?
I should of been happy today now im scared. .
If u wud hav said last week that we would sell nando for 50m and replace them with carroll and adam i would have took of my underpants and eat them. .

What a great day, Torres had no option any more, had to go? I reckon was no way back for him with the fans or players and things have gotten better all day! Would love to see a class winger come in still my pic would be Turan he is TOP TOP QUALITY! but young would be close 2nd.

I can confirm the fee liverpool has got for torres is 55 millon up front + add onsof up to 65 millon depending on success and apps. also included in the deal is a first choice option or a future % sell on fee.

The BBC is reporting that Spurs tried to get Carroll too. Much as I dislike Redknapp, he's as good as they get at identifying young talent, which reinforces the view that LFC have got themselves a great deal.

This Commoli is taking the mick.
by all means, these are quality players, but should be for a total 45m, not 65m
All we need before 11pm is one winger. . Ashley Young? Elia? Payet? Turan?

Alan Shearer on Andy Carroll on BBC Five Live: "Off the field he has been in trouble once or twice before - that would be the major area of concern for me. I spoke to Kenny months ago before he even came to Liverpool about the potential of Carroll. Kenny got myself and Chris Sutton and myself and Mike Newell together at Blackburn and he probably sees Carroll and Suarez as a similar partnership - both can score goals. Andy Carroll is unplayable on his day. We might see Charlie Adam there and with Steven Gerrard and his tremendous right foot - if you get balls into box for those guys it will be a hell of a partnership."

I know that i would prefer a fully committed Carroll than a half hearted Torres.

Don't see how people can say about the price tag for Carroll when he hasn't even played for us yet - - judge him and the price and the end of next season, the new signings and the rest of the team need us to get behind them rather than slagging them off before they've put on the red shirt.

i honestly can't see torres starting against us, maybe the bench, i just think torres will think its to soon lol

Not sure why none of my posts have been posted today? I said at lunch time Carroll was signing. Great addition. Caroll scares the life out of every centreback in the league. Him and Suarez together will be awesome! Great great owners, Adam by 9pm and then two other surprises hopefully as well! Great day! Torres who?? ? RED77

Im glad we got caroll i for one am sick to death of all these foreign players coming in and using our great team as a stepping stone to wat they fell are better things, torres, alonso mash, arbeloa its the same at the other teams look at tevez ronaldo, its nice to bring someone in who knows the history and tradition we have

What is going on with football .you surely don't sell you prize asset to your competition in the same league even if it is £50million.
surely they should have waited and sell him to barcelona in the summer even if they get less for him.
carrol is a good signing but he's no torres.
can't see us sighning anyone else tonight as its getting too near deadline what do you think ed

What a shocking deal for us, with the add ons for carol it will come to the same as the torres deal.
Carol £35 million + add ons for winning trophy's, yeah right that's going to happen now & for england caps, could be another £5 million.
Torres sold for £45 million, chelsea will get back £10 million in a year for merchandise alone.
What will we get for carol in return, probably asbo's.

Carroll
Even in business, the value of a product or service is not solely about money. Value is often measured by the usefulness or desirability of something. As such, the concept of "value" is subjective rather than objective. That is, it means something different to each person considering it, and that meaning can change as time, place and situation change.
Suarez has already said he likes to play off another striker. Carroll has just become that striker. Kenny is building a team not buying costly individuals
31 Jan 2011 19:17:44
I'm nervous about Carroll like a lot of other posters and to be honest, if it was anybody but KK, I would be freaking out. However, I'm privileged enough to have lived through the Shankley, Paisley, Fagan and Dalglish eras and can assure anybody on here that Kenny is up there with those greats. The man lives and breathes LFC, has one of the best footballing brains ever and during his previous reign, signed some of the greatest players ever to play for this great club. He did it elsewhere too. KK has seen something really special in Carroll or else there is no way that he would be spending so much on him; so relax, go with the flow and look forward to the return of the good times at Fortress Anfield.

And to go along with my previous post about desperately needing a winger, why are we trying so hard to sign Charlie Adam. Yes, he is a great passer, but we have Gerrard and Meireles in CM and I'm sorry but Adam does not have the pace we need to play him out on the left.
LFChad
31 Jan 2011 19:13:25
I think the reason liverpool have not bid for any wingers because johnson will play on the right ahead of kelly and kenny likes maxi so warnock to come in at left back, suarez and carroll up top could be a top partnership that will cause problems for any defence in the league with stevie an charlie adam supplying the passes

I gotta feeling, if Adam coming in Gerrard will play on the right!

What a transfer deadline day.and 35m for an injured caroll.this is ridiculous.then why not aguero or llorente or rossi.look like we are changing to 4-3-3 formation.YNWA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It would cost £50 mill+ for Aguero, the way the tax system works in Spain. .gotta pay more or the club to see the dosh.
I think Carroll is a great signing has always looked dangerous when I see him. .agree a lot o money. .but still he's 22. .got maybe 8-10 years of him scoring goals and wining things all going well :)

I understand Carroll looks particularly dangerous trying to balance one legged on a bar stool after a few pints and 15 Jägermeisters.
If we take him on, KK needs to knock that sort of carp on the head from day one.

It's a small tear in the thigh muscle, it's in a place (i think above the knee) where there is not much blood flow so it's taking longer than normal to heal, but i've no idea when he will be fit.

If befoe the window opened I was offered Caroll and Suarez in, with Torres and Babel going out and some extra cash in the bank I would have bitten their hand off for that. Never thought i'd be glad to see FT going out through the gates, but no-one is bigger than our club. FT you will never again experience the love and adoration from fans that you had at LFC, this will be a decision i'm positive you will live to regret.
With KK bringing back the style of play of old, and these world class players being signed we are gonna be unstoppable!

The best news of the day and this transfer window is that all of the players i dislike apart from torres but even he has let us down big time is babel and konchesky have gone im as happy as andy carroll right now welcome andy and luis i no u both will be tops for our mighty reds its like having a brilliant crouch figure that can head and has power and a new enthusiastic torres in suarez who what ive seen of is a much more harder working player than torres can ever be im glad torres has gone now we can play with more freedome upfront and not have to accomidate a player who does little work upfront imagine how powerful we r now with carroll and suarez who are 2 of the hardest working strikers ive seen recently

I, along with the sensible Liverpool fans, am absolutely gutted that Torres has gone. After what he has done at Liverpool, I think it is absolutely disgusting to see fans burning his shirt outside Melwood.
My biggest concern now is that this may lead to a mass exodus of the foriegn stars, ie: Reina, going in the summer, who I believe Man Utd are interested in.
Also, I think Carroll is a great player, but not £35m great! The biggest part of his game is crosses into the box and at present we don't have that - let's hope that KK has something up his sleeve to cover this.

I think we should put things in to perspective.
£35m for Carroll - definitely over-priced.
£50m for Torres - the way he's played the last 18mths . . .definitely over-priced.
So, if we'd had sold Torres for £25m and paid only £10m for Carroll, would everyone be happy?
I know I would and that's the way I'm looking at it. £15m in the bank and extra money to buy more players. We also lose a player who doesn't want to play for us and gain one that is your typical old-fashioned English Centre Forward.
Good times ahead for us Reds and thank you NESV for your support and for putting KK in the top spot.

I can't believe those so-called "fans" who are already slagging-off the proposed signings of Carroll and Adam. . .saying that they're overpriced and overrated and that we should've stuck with Ryan Babel and Torres! !
Of course we aren't going to get any bargains at this time of the year, but to get £50m for an injury-prone sulky has-been is fantastic business. Andy Carroll is a superb player and will link up with Suarez for the best strike partnership in the EPL. Charlie Adam is exactly what we've been missing for a while now. . brilliant 2-footed passer and a great little battler who will link up the midfield with the forwards.
A late bid for a decent left-back and maybe Charles N'zogbia and we'll have had a history-changing day. Dalglish knows his football and the owners have come up with the goods. So stop moaning and get behind the club or p**s off and support Man Sh**ty

Aha - Modern day Liverpool fans, how could a true fan say this and doubt Kenny's judgement like that - - what are you on saying this:-
Disgraceful. Cannot believe we are signing that animal Andy Carroll. I am disgusted that this man is comin to our club. Wouldnt take him for free, yet we are paying 35m for him. Joke. Mike Ashley can't believe his luck. And to top it all off, Charlie rangers rejects Adam. Liverpool are dead. These two signings are over inflated, and not necessary. im Fuming. K3
I suspect you are not an LFC fan and are just having a laugh - and if you are I trust you will not cheer when Andy Carroll puts on the red shirt and scores at the Kop end.

People are saying 35m is crazy for Carrol but you have to remember that his wage, even though higher at Liverpool, is still relatively low.
You say Dzeko/ Rooney/ Villa cost less but who do you think works out the most expensive over five years?
Very good business.

ha , the world will bow at our feet now we have to psychopaths up front. I think we wasted a lot of money on Carroll, but he's still only 21 and if Kenny thinks he's good enough I'm willing to welcome our new number nine.
Hopefully now we can give Chelsea a thrashing on Sunday, with Torres out for the rest of the season because of a broken nail. I'm sure we're all wetting ourselves at the prospect of the summer window - where most investment was supposed to take place.
From what I've been told by my journo friends, N'Zogbia, Adam and Young are still on (a winger from Spain also being a back-up plan should Young reject us) with Adam being the most likely.
I can now officially say that LFC are back.

This is some sh*t! We are buying Carroll who is obviosly injured and maybe out for 2-3 months and Torres is moving to Chelsea! Not to mention the fee, which is 35 mil pounds! Way too much for him! He is a great player, but for an injured player to pay that much, ridiculous!
31 Jan 2011 18:38:33

31 Jan 2011 18:38:00
I thought Commoli was supposed to be this brilliant scout and negotiator?!
This Guy is the worst negotiator in history. . we offered 12.8m for Suarez. . then go back and agree 22.5m?
We offer 4m for Adam (not Adams everybody) and come back with 8-9m bid?
Then pannick buy Andy Carroll for (first bid 30m rejected) an over inflated 35m? ?! !
This Commoli is taking the mick.
by all means, these are quality players, but should be for a total 45m, not 65m
All we need before 11pm is one winger. . Ashley Young? Elia? Payet? Turan?
Any will do if the price is right.
With all these prices - Liverpool will be held to ransom in the summer as everyone knows we'll pay whatever the asking price is.
31 Jan 2011 18:37:34
Carroll wil be fanatstic, low wages will make up for the high fee. Stop goin on about the likes of Negredo, Gomez, Aguero, Llorente, etc they obviously arent for sale! You think Kenny / Commoli wouldn't have inquired?! Poeple are living in transfer dream cuckoo land , clubs have to be wiling to sell and players have to want to leave, your beloved Liverpool isn't necessarily some ones elses.

I like Andy Carroll a lot but why are we paying £35m + addons for a player with a thigh injury which apparently isn't healing well. He's even seen a specialist over it in the last couple of days.
This is Aquallini territory all over again. He could be out for months. This is a panic buy.
Pull the plug on Chelski at the 11th hour and make Torres honour his contract until the summer. Then he can leave with everyone's blessing and we've got time to properly find a decent, and more importantly FIT, replacement!

If Newcastle had offered us Carroll and £15m for torres a week ago would we have taken it?
it could be a master stroke if we get 10 years for him and 200-300 goals.
Manure talk about there being no value in the market. they have overspent on players numerous times but you need to take a long term view.
It's a big statement about Dalglish. A temporary manager allowed to spend so much. Is he hear for the long term?
I hope so
31 Jan 2011 18:30:54
I think the reason liverpool have not bid for any wingers because johnson will play on the right ahead of kelly and kenny likes maxi so warnock to come in at left back, suarez and carroll up top could be a top partnership that will cause problems for any defence in the league with stevie an charlie adam supplying the passes

Ed,
The world has gone mad. . .But if I were to point out the exact issue. . . Liverpool are certainly spending Roman Abrahamovich's money. . . . .
I think if we have got a deal worth 50 million plus, its a win win for Liverpool only. . . . .
I doubt Chelsea will win anything with those set of midfielders. . He has invested in the wrong player. . .Torres has lost his pace after the successive injuries. . .
But the owners are surprising me. . .VERY BOLD. . . .

I'd say Carroll has the potential to be a lot better than dzecko.
Atleast nesv have spent the money from torres and not put it in the arse pocket, or bought Cole and kept the rest. Then you would be all complaining.
Yeah it seams a lot for him but look on the bright side Atleast it shows nesv aren't afraid to spend money :)

Once we announce both Carrol and Suarez, I think KK will be proved to be very canny indeed.
We got rid of a sulky baby in Torres, increased our English contingent with a boy with massive potential, who has already shown he can do the job in the top flight, and gotten more craft, pace and goals with Suarez.
Both may have marks against them for their temperament, but isn't the KK the best man to take them to the side, calm them down and get them to channel it in the right direction.
Exciting times ahead, Thank you NESV and KK, lets get behind them and show them what LFC fans are all about.

Suarez and Carroll are going to completely terrorise the premiership, how do you contain that i think its going to be awesome, £30 mill so what this could be the Liverpool front line for the next decade. Charlie Adams is also on his way to mellwood, finally a decent play-maker to take the place of the never replaced Alonso and hopefully we will see 2 wingers come in also, exiting times
Now that's what i call putting my money where my mouth is well done NESV,

Can't believe some of you are slating carroll it's not his fault he cost so much and i can GUARANTEE you that this guy TERRIFIES defenders.
Premiership teams laughing at us? Are you joking if they are then they won't be for long. Remember heskey taking both defenders away from owen? Well carroll will do the same for suarez and we all know he can finish if he's got enough time.
The difference is carroll is a threat to goal as well, even with BOTH defenders marking him he's that much of a beast. And he's got proper mettle and heart. Im well chuffed i wanted carroll before newcastle got relegated. . .

my sentiments exactly. elmander for 8 million would have sufficed untilt then end of the season, when we could have used the key word PATIENCE to buy and not PANIC ie waste 50 million, sir alex must e laughing his head off, we lose torres, replace him with a yo and he managed to bump up the adam price by ten million, a palyer we don't even need, still no wingers. .oh i give up

The clubs prev owners caused this, he has however left at the wrong time when we do have great owners, money and a dream manager in the king.

To the person who said this:
Ive seen carroll play 5-6 times this season, and he is a handful to deal with. I think it will be hard to contain Carroll and Suarez. I think this is a great signing, many will disagree.
I could not agree more. I think Carroll will be outstanding up top. Granted it was an expensive move - but he's young & will surely live up to the expectations. Well done by NESV as far as I'm concerned. At this point, I say we bid Torres adieu, get him out of our mind; it's time to move forward as a team.
31 Jan 2011 17:59:59
Can people stop saying about sergio aguero , i think the bloke is amazing but we cannot get him for £30m or £35m or £40m , try £50m and your nearly there , spurs had a bid of £38.5m rejected last night and if whoever does buy him if they pay £45m they then have to pay 18% ( tax/ vat ) well 10% of that is £4.5m , so 18% of that is likely to be sumit like £7m on top of the £45m , so that's £52m ! plus £130,000 + wages a week ,
Andy carroll will be awesome up top with luis suarez perfect partner for hiim , hes a great target man , stronger than crouchy , quicker than heskey , better in the air then both of them put together , give him time! stop slating players before they come , charlie adam will also be a great addition , fantastic passer , two english/ british signings , better than a bunch of random foriengers

What are your thoughts on this? Also do you think anyone else will sign? If so who? Cheers {ed's note - not someone I would buy but I trust in Kenny. There should be more, I wouldn't like to guess right now, but Young and Adam are not completely out yet.}

Can't beleive we have paid a club record for "Girlfriend beater" Carroll.
We could have got a proven world class player for half that.
This is a disgrace.
Absolute distraught, what or who have the owners been listening too?
Suarez, who is a proven international cost us 23 mil, and that was after a lot of haggling and we end up with Carroll at a reported 35 mil, i can't be the only one who thinks this mad.
And to MACCA, if you are a first team player you must be gutted that his wages will dwarf yours, anyone who thinks we are moving forward is deluded, the bloke is f@@kin injured as well.
Who is designated to babysit him?
Who ever next?
31 Jan 2011 17:54:40
I know its a lot for carrol but i can't believe any one doesn't think saurez and carrol and hopefully adam won't make our team better than just having torres. ed can you tell me if theres any more coming in i hear theres a french player maybe .p.s. i'm not being greedy just getting excited with all the news flying around. I TRUST IN KENNY.

Nando not left for the south yet and has yet to be granted permission, would laugh if we got Suarez and Carrol then told Fernando he is staying also! Now that would be a strike force.
31 Jan 2011 17:53:54
Carrol & Suarez? How does that sound? And possibly Adam too? Surrounded by Mereiles, Gerrard, Lucas? In return for getting rid of Torres - the last of the failed Raffffalution who has not played well for 24 months? Dalglish is putting a huge marker -reshaping the team and I can only imagine his words to FT, teams come and go, stars are born and fade, players move on - legends remain. Instead, Torres has chosen to be another characterless, europlayer. Admired, rich, but never truly loved. Carrol is a an incredible buy. He is English, young, fast, powerful, great feet, scares horses. Dalglish and Clarke will sort his head out. Did you see what Carrol did to Liverpool's defence earlier in the year? He is a formidible force and can you imagine playing against him? What happens if they make him stronger, faster, improve his technique? Nightmare. A la Shearer, Drogba, Hulk. If he had a name like Angelo Fandango or Blonski Munchkin - rather than an Engish one, those criticising him would be raving about him. What's happened to that Spanish lad?

We will surely die (especially if you go to Chelsea)

Am quite amazed the way things have panned out. 35 million is NOT Carrolls current value, and must be considered as his potential value. But regardless, it is too much right now. There are truley world class players who can be prised away for 10m less! But I am very glad we didn't get Gomez, that guy is a *&$% sulky B.H.

LFC.tv is officially announcing the Carroll fee has been agreed to. I have to say a 22 year old who is already proven to score in the Prem with 17 goals last year and 11 in 19 games this year, that's pretty damn good.
Lets hope the Young and Adam deals go through to. A team with Adam, Meireles and Gerrard and in the midfield and Young, Suarez and Carroll up front could be really good. Lots of creativity in the midfield. A very pacey wide player in young. A creative striker in Suarez and a big physical force in Carroll. A quality collection of talent which also seems like it could all fit together well!
31 Jan 2011 17:51:59
TO THE SUPPORTERS
Caroll is 21, 6foot4, is strong, quick and a natural finisher.
KK WILL NUTURE HIM INTO A WORLD CLASS PLAYER. FORGET THE FEE, WE HAVE CARROLL AND SUAREZ LEADING THE LINE!

31 Jan 2011 17:50:18
Hi! Ed, in my opinion Dirk Kuyt is not good enoug for Liverpool.He lacks pace. He is weak, slow, poor first touch and can't past the opposite defender. I know his defending is quite well but defending is not the main objective for winger. Your view? Please!
{Editor Note: He's not good enough to be a winger.}
31 Jan 2011 17:50:18
Bloody hell if kenny thinks hes good enough, then that's enough 4 me! He's young, English and could be a great player for us. Stop moaning and get behind the new players coming in. I can not wait to see him and saurez together

Adam for 14 mill
source Darren Lewis on twitter
31 Jan 2011 17:48:24
Saurez and Carroll will cost the same as Torres cost in wages and nearly in transfer fees. Both are 3-4 years younger and combined will score more than Torres will score on his own any given season. Carroll is English and is not cup tied and if Kenny likes him then that's good enough for me. Rush to Juve. . . . . . .Kenny went to Toon and signed a barcode called Beardsley. If history could repeat itself we'll win the double next year. I'm with Macca and I think its a good bit of business. Adam later tonight and wait for Zoggy to come at the 11th hour.

31 Jan 2011 17:47:58
So babel and Torres out. in come Suarez, Caroll and Adam.
Still no wide players though so as a team, tactically we are no better off. As for our owners. They have essentially paid for Suarez with their own money (caroll & Adam from Torres money) so just like H&G the new boys have made a big marquee signing. I just hope this is where the similarity ends. Time will tell but I think it's safe to say that the summer of 2011 will be the real indication of how serious our owners really are about making Liverpool a force again!

31 Jan 2011 17:46:29
Reading quite a bit of negativity on here re Andy Carroll coming. I am excited think it would be a great signing, maybe a little inflated on the price. Look it sorts all of the following.
1) Foreign forwards come into EPL and get kicked from pillar to post and spend a lot of time on treatment table. He can handle himself and is used to EPL.
2) We previously had the only 2 big lads on the planet who couldn't head a ball to save their life (Crouch and Heskey), not something we can say about Carroll.
3) Sounds like exactly the sort of player Suarez said he was best suited with.
4) It sends out a clear message Liverpool Football Club is back in business no more shopping from the clearance bins.

31 Jan 2011 17:44:49
Ok andy carrol isn't worth £35mill but he is a good striker that we need as we all know cos torres will be gone, i know llorente and aguero would be better options but they r not available, aguero would cost close to £60-70 mill that's his fee plus tax and vat. .llorente isn't available. .carroll has bagged goals and good ones at that one of them was a peach against us

Looking at the rumours and that looks like it will be Suarez defo, Carroll, Adams and SWP?? ? I would of been happy with these start of the transfer window. .would of preferred a different winger than SWP and IF adams does sign will he be able 2 adapt? my mate who is a spurs fan is looking abit nervous now ha YNWA
31 Jan 2011 17:44:03
I hope andy carroll signs its about time we had some one to batter other teams and boss defenders.
he is a great talent and could be the next big thing in english football - and if we get him away from his so called mates and nurture him he will be a player for some years to come and will scare defenders even more than he has doone this season - paired with suarez i am extremely happy let the traitor go and we have 2 forwards who can play as a pair or both can play as a lone striker but as suarez said he plays better of a bigger man who is there that is better than carroll as a big man.
and to all you people that said nesv won't put there money in 58million is a nice lump i know we will get some back but rumour is adam is on his way in a car to anfield another 8-10million i think over 65 million out is putting their money where their mouth is
well done nesv and kk
31 Jan 2011 17:42:50
I reckon Caroll is a great signing, just the fee is a bit steep, not his fault though. I reckon him and Saurez will be a great combination up front, better than with Torres (although I am gutted he is going, mainly for how he did it and where he is off to!) Come on you REDS lets have it! DBS.

Am I High? or is Carroll coming to us for a record-fee of £35Mill?? WTF! He is only costing that much because he is English, FACT! Villa cost 35Mill! Suarez only cost 20Mill! , WE CAN GET A BETTER STRIKER FOR LESS!
31 Jan 2011 17:42:39
WTF we have been crying out for wingers for years now so we smash our transfer record with andy Carol what the hell this now means we can look forward to long ball football which I detest and Adam yeah he's good but we don't need more midfielders can someone tell me I'm dreaming or this is a bad joke looking forward to seeing Suarez tho he will need a lot of time though

We need to look at the wider picture when it comes to player movements - Torres, Babel, Aquilani OUT / Suarez, Carroll, maybe Adam IN.
Just about balances the books so we needn't get too agitated about prices, just look at the team with those 3 new players. Does anyone else agree that Nando moving out has actually given us the chance to improve the squad more than we could have hoped for at the start of the transfer window?
Still not impressed with him asking to leave so late but think it will all work out in our favour
31 Jan 2011 17:42:02
Ok carroll isn't worth the 35 mill but hes an absolute nightmare for defenders, good times ahead folks
31 Jan 2011 17:41:57
Can't believe we would pay over12mil for Carroll the premiership must be laughing at us should have bought crouch back or spent the money on llorentte

Ive seen carroll play 5-6 times this season, and he is a handful to deal with. I think it will be hard to contain Carroll and Suarez. I think this is a great signing, many will disagree.
31 Jan 2011 17:40:43
Be funny if after all the buys today torres and nesv came out and said torres will remain a lfc player after seeing new players come in and the buys today was with our own money not due to torres possibly leaving ha ha id laugh my balls off lol i know dreaming but o well we can hope ha
31 Jan 2011 17:40:28
People give Carrol a chance , he might have made some bad , (really bad) mistakes but he is young . we all have made mistakes i assume so maybe a second chance would be in place.
I would love to see Carrol , he seems class to me and he could play well as a target man for suarez, i think a good signing . But there paying to much for him i agree. But transfer deadline deals always cost more money . .

Carroll and suarez will be great together. perfect match. remember the fee is high for carroll and 10m is high for adam, but liverpools player wages will be balanced alot better, which will help with long term success, we don't want anymore free players with high wages, that don't even play. we can't get rid of them. ex; cole and Jova.

Ed, What do u think of going for Pato? We'd definately get him for less than 35mil cos of the amount of game time he's had this season and the competition up front for AC. They also would probably get some cash back for all they spent recently. Complemented by the tevez-like suarez he'd be quality now and incredible in years to come. Also, we need a winger now! No matter what striker we get they're gonna fail if they have no service. {ed's note - not convinced Milan would sell hiim.}

Fernando Torres you selfish chap but we'll get 50 million for him which will buy us Andy Carrol which by the way, i wasn't expecting and i think him and Suarez will be amazing together in years to come. He's also perfect for what Kenny, Camolli and NESV are looking for, young, good finisher and strong.
also, I think Charlie Adam will be arriving for a medical and to agree personal terms tonight before a deal is announced. So, the team will look like this. .
Reina
Kelly Carragher Agger Johnson
Gerrad Meireles Adam Maxi
Suarez
Carrol

£35m for andy carroll. . somebody please tell me we are not going to pay that! newcastle will be laughing all the way to the bank. . for that kinda money there has got to be better options surely? benzema? llorente? forlan? toivonen? id have crouch over him. Crouchy probably not as good but 5 times cheaper and use the money elsewhere. . Elia, Honda, Young, adams. .
Not happy. .

Great opportionuty for LFC to get three quality players and break even fianiancially with the sale of Torres.
50 million for Torres is a fantastic price for a player who is bound to have re-occuring injury problems in the future.

Carroll is not worth 35mil, buy aguero for same amount, he has signed new contract, but lowered release clause.aguero loves lpool and will not run like torres. love torres he should stay give kk and club a chance.
50mil, from torres sale
15m hazard
12m turan
20m hulk
3 plus jovanovic = adam
use jh+tw money to buy aguero.

Hi eds, awesome work today. Please post in banter.
I know everyone is saying we need a new defender, and warnock would not be bad, but with steve clarke helping and KK at the helm they have looked a lot better recently.
Until carra goes I cannot see the defence being a priority unless we buy really big though - who would you take out of our back 4 with carra back unless you replace him (although I would welcome warnock to the squad)? GJ and MK are performing brilliantly, and as attacking full backs they are both awesome and have the pace to get back and defend, plus GJ has said he enjoys the LB position.
If Charlie Adams comes and helps to anchor the defence I think we could have a fantastic line-up with just the need for a new left winger;
- - - - - - - - - - - - -REINA- - - - - - - - - - - - -
M KELLY - - - -AGGER - - - CARRA- - - G JOHNSON
- - - - - - - - - - CHARLIE ADAMS - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - GERRARD- - - - - - - - - MEIRELES- - - - -
SUAREZ- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -NEW WINGER
- - - - - - - - - - - -CARROLL- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Maybe even bring some youth in (Susso?) to play in the left wing role, and have suarez drift into the hole with merieles, letting gerrard and adam pull the strings as they charge forwards?
What you think guys, ed?

The only reason liverpool is offering the £35mill is because its so late on in the window and we need a replacement for torres and he is a big strong good striker and will do good with suarez, llorente isn't gunna happen so he was the only other good striker available to us if it was in the summer we wouldn't of paid so much for him, but we do need a replacement now otherwise we would definitly not be pushing on to make europe

Second Carroll bid rejected. I don't know what to make of this fella, he's a big lump and is very controversial off-pitch, but he's scored more goals than Torres, is only 21, can head the ball and is an ideal partner for Suarez. Either way, £35m is too much. The only upside if we get him is that I can lord it over my Geordie friend who was saying yesterday how our only good player was leaving and we would get relegated.
Anyway, the plonkers who said NESV were like H&G are now eating their words. You have to have ambition when you're willing to spend £60-70m and break the current British transfer record in one window.
I heard a whisper that a Llorente bid has been lodged, LFC are just waiting for Bilbao to cave and lower their asking price, as most clubs in financial trouble do in the last hours of the transfer window.
31 Jan 2011 16:50:27
SSN just updated that 2nd bid for Andy Carrol was rejected! !
YESSSSSSSSSS! !
I for one am happy as we won't sell Torres if we don't find a replacement for less than £40M
£35M plus for Andy Caroll! what is football coming too?
Surely £40m for any of the worlds top 4 strikers should be enough!
Please KK don't do this, this is going to be a big mistake.
Do you agree ed? Yes or NO as I know you guys are busy today.
{Editor's Note: Sorry but we are way too busy for giving many answers today.}
31 Jan 2011 16:50:27
Bottom line is liverpool are right in spending the 50m now, if you wait until summer when man c, and chelsea and even barca get a chance to negotiate with players, we will get priced out of every player. if we bid 40m for aguero, chelsea would bid 50-60m. I think we move now, so there is no time for these teams to react. We are only 9pts out of c.l. football and nice run could see us pass chelsea. wouldn't that be sweet.
31 Jan 2011 16:49:42
Liverpool Rumours
So it would seem I was wrong about Torres. . I really didn't feel Liverpool would sell him, well, not to Chelski anyway and especially not on deadline day. I couldn't see how thatwould be good buisness and was worried at the fact of only having Suarez as a lone striker as that doesn't suit his game.
But now I couldnt care less where Torres goes, as if the rumours are true, then Andy Carrol would be a perfect strike partner for Suarez, little n large. Both mean footballers. . Carrol being the huge power force in the air and great with both feet backed up by the intellegent, nippy, aggressive, pacy and great all round footballer Suarez.
Yes, it would be a blow to ANY club around the world to lose argueably the best and most prolific striker in world football, but we have lost plenty of them in the past before, and managed to spend the money in the right way.
I loved Rafa and didn't mind woy, but I am glad it was Kenny who is the one spending any possible cash as he knows what the club needs. He is a living legend and although the price may be inflated for Carrol, to say the least, he is a great target man and also a great goal scorer.
I just hope to see a top quality winger bought in with the remaining funds. . I have said before Arda Turan or Ashley Young would be my preferred choice but I just don't know if we have the time to sign either one in this window. Worse case is to try and get SWP because at the very least, he will add depth to the squad and im sure he will create and score goals.
Still many hours to go until the deadline is up, but im convinced this is the start of a bright new era for Liverpool, with or without our #9.
Ed, do you think we could manage one more massive surprise signing by 12 tonight, if so who do you think is more realistic?

Unconfirmed reports (all be it from SSN) suggest that we have offered more than £35 mil!? Ed(s) you seemed to know the deal was there before anyone else so can you give us the breakdown of our offer?
Also, while I am gutted that we have had to pay so much money for such an unproven player I can't help but remember the feelings when rush left and we bought in Aldridge. No-one thought he would cut it but as I remember he didn't do too bad for us. Then a year later rush came back :)

Surely Torres can see this and we took them apart in November does he really think he will have more to gain at Chelsea.

{Editor's Note: They could also win the Champion's League. Also, the money to be made available by NESV will largely come in the first instance from money generated by the club, which needs to be self-sufficient as we all know. I think if you are expecting NESV to throw enormous sums of their own money in to transfers, you will have a bit of a long wait until that happens. I do however have no doubts that they will provided financing themselves as necessary.}

I'm quite happy with Carroll to be honest, he's big, strong and can obviously score goals! Bit too much money IMO but its deadline day, he's English so prices are over inflated anyway and if we bought somone from outside the EPL we would have a front line with NO EPL experience. I reckon him and Luis will link up well my only concern is his off field antics & the fact that he is injured! Adam to come in but still need a winger!

35 Million for Carroll is just not right. We wouldn't spend weeks dealing with Ajax just to splash that kinda cash on a player like Andy Carroll.

Goodbye Nando the deal with cfc is done we as fans need to stop blaming the lad and remember what has happened to the club in the last 3 years broken promises from H&G lack of investment in players from H&G mediocre players from Rafa (see also H&G) the injuries from 3 succesive summer competitions and last but not least RH and his poor buys Konchesky Poulsen even Cole the boy must have been thinking what else do i have to do? I hoped Kenny could persuade him to stay, I don't want him to go to cfc but LFC hav'nt played right by the lad and how many excuses and chances does he give us thanks for the memories

Look im gutted that Torres looks to be on his way, but lets not turn into the Mancs, they hate Tevez for leaving them when things at the club obviously werent right.(Fergie didn't rate him) Lets remember the good times with Nando and lets move on it looks like we will have a Carroll Suarez front 2. not too shabby, ok £35m is alot of money but it shows the new owners will do what it takes to land their men, Hicks and Gillett would have ran a mile. kenny said it right today footballers move on without Keegen moving the King himself would never have signed.
Now go get Adams. So long Nando and thank you. Now we ask just 1 favour before u leave pull a hammy and be out sunday
31 Jan 2011 16:09:05
You will always pay over the odds in this window, but 15mil is not a big enough difference between the two. We are paying way to much but Kenny has looked at it and would rather have a young and hungry up an coming talent than a stropy git who doesn't want to be there.
Kenny knows what he needs and if he doesn't see 110% commitment then your gone.

My final clutch at straws before I flat out accept the innevitable. .
Is it at all possible that the reds have bid whatever to get Carroll so that he will fail the medical & then Torres stays? The answer. . No.
SHOTGUN! The Kop.
PS. I agree with Macca, Carroll is a top signing, who gives a Torres what he costs, he & Suarez up front are gonna be dyamite & at an average age of 23, can form a deadly partnership for years to come.
If someone had said at the start of the transfer window, take Suarez & Carroll & 15 mil but loose Torres. . Well, I have no idea what I would've said.
31 Jan 2011 16:05:05
I can't believe all the so called liverpool fans who are calling andy carroll. . I seem to remember he bagging against chelsea, against arsenal at the emirates and against us when torres missed his chance to put us 2-1 up at st james. . don't get me wrong I will miss torres as much as anybody but you can't keep an unhappy player at the club. we must move forward.

Im well chuffed with Andy Carroll! Get in lad! The fact that NESV have been prepared to pay £35m (if that figure is accurate, which Im not actually convinced) is neither here nor there.
Suarez and Carroll will form a great partnership, with Stevie G behind. Would still like to see a winger or two though. I think Dimitry Payet is a good bet for tonight. Better option than Young, and DC will be using his St Eteinne contacts to get the deal.
Fair play NESV/ FSG. Hope all the negs give it a rest. Why do you care how much has been spent. These are good players, and nobody said that by spending 35m now we won't be able to do it in the summer as well!

31 Jan 2011 16:01:15
Whatever the reasons for torres wanting to go id like to remember him for the brilliant first two seasons we got from him-memorable. from last january we've had his talent in fits n starts due to injury, loss of form or whatever and now he's coming back to form, getting a good partner in suarez, which could have been close to dalglish/ rush, aldridge/ beardsley, toshack/ keegan and he wants to go, but good luck, you were a great and that's what u get often with foreign players. . . . as for carroll, don't have sky sports news( miss georgie thomson! ) so don't no the score on the bids, but hes a handful for defenders, altho slo but would be a good signing, just 15 million too much! still need a winger and not a central mid really as i don't think we've got anybody coming through the ranks either for that position. . and to finish, hasnt kenny made a difference in just his press conferences, funny, cagey, articulate, respected, . . . mourinhio? ?we've got the original!

We shouldn't be getting angry at Torres as he has done his best for the club, and if he leaves id like to thank him for all the good memories and best of luck.
I was thinking that then I thought about the timing and the things he's previously said; if there was an agreement he could leave at the end of the season if we're not playing Champions League football then why not do this on 1st January?
I'm not to bothered about having Andy Carroll and i've been impressed by him this year but whether its my money or the clubs he's not a £35m striker IMO. I'd rather we wait until the summer if I'm honest to buy someone. He's going to cost more than David Villa.

*****************
Stop bein a P*nK, Aguero may have a buy out clause of £38m, but then he has to agree personal terms and command a wage of around 250k per week, compared to Andy Carrol who i imagine will be more like £50k a week, you do realise we will be saving nearly a million a month with this deal?
Carrol is a tried and tested goal scorer, he socres on a very regular basis for Newcastle, if we waited until summer, with only one striker who has experience in prem (Ngog), do you really think we would have been in a position to bid for anyone better than Carrol?
I think not, think logically, look at Carrols stats, then come back when your ready to acccept that Torres being swapped for Suarez, Carrol, and also addition of Adam is in the best interests of Liverpool.
Torres has left, but he played some amazing football for his, and we shoudl thank him for those times, and also for being valuable enough to help us rebuild our squad now hes possibly leaving,

Suarez Carroll Gerrard
Can't see why we haven't bought a winger yet? I know Suarez can play wide but with Carroll injured we would need another front man and are left with no true wingers again.
do you think we will get a winger by the end of the day and do the N'zogbia rumours have any truth in them?

Afternoon fellow Kopites!
Firstly welcome our new number 7 - Luis Suarez. . Cant wait to sing this. .
His armband proved he was a red suarez! suarez!
youll never walk alone it said suarez! suarez!
he bought it from this Lad from spain,
short Brown hair forgotten his name,
Luiz Suarez liverpools Number 7!
Onto a more pressing topic. . . and please Ed's or Macca please shed some light on this for me as im sure your as shocked as I am. . How can liverpool bid £35m for Andy Carroll and not at least try £5m more for Aguero. . surely the shirt sales alone would cover the extra £5m!
When you think of the quality of striker you can get for £35m-£40m I didn't expect Carroll to be in the same bracket. . 1 good season in the championship and half a good season in the prem and suddenly he's worth a world class price tag. . do me a favour! !
Do you think he will complete the move or do you think we are really going for someone better just keeping clubs off the scent!

That mike Ashely knows how much we have gotten from Torres sale. He also know that the next person close to replacing Torres is Sergio Aguero at £38million buy out clause.
With the help of Tottenham and a few agents the benchmark of £30million was established. If is really inflated so teams like man utd said no thanks. This is just Mike Ashely creating a inflated marketplace so he can sell Carrol for maximum profit. I can't believe Liverpool are falling for his tricks. in the summer Carrol will be worth alot less. I hope Newcastle fans turn on Mike Ashely he was always going to Sell Carrol in this window from the get go. Liverpool shouldn't play his game. Wenger wouldn't be held to ransom over a player. Their is a point where you have to say he is too expensive. And i don't buy in to the English tax. If they are english then they will cost 3x the Europeans level of a player.

If carroll signing is true, I agree we paid to much. But not like Chelsea paid torres, Carroll fits english game, physical beast in the air, and it will tie in nicely with suarez. Like the Adam signing if that goes through, he has good vision and can make great long ball passes. I do feel we need a quick winger still, one that can get the ball from adam and whip it into Carroll.

Take a step back. . I'm probably contradicting myself here but WHEN torres goes we would be left with ngog saurez kuyt pacheco (near or in the first team).
Saurez needs a target man, Liverpool need a player that can hit the ground running with prem experience, player who isn't cup tied in Europe, nesv state they want to buy young players, no language issues/ relocation probs. .
I just can't think of anyone else that isn't mediocre! That lad has potential? Ok £35m is a joke but is the difference between the lads actual value and WHAT HE IS WORTH to us/ the team at THIS point in time worth paying the extra coin for?
Imagine if saurez needs time, the goals dry up, and we didn't make Europe next year. . what would the fallout be?

Just a thought, with the oddness of signing another CM in the shape of Adam, and the possible lack of wingers being mooted, is there any chance Dalglish has finally convinced Gerrard to put in a shift on the right?
31 Jan 2011 15:42:58
Hi Ed,
Everyone seems to be very upset at the impending signing of Andy Carrol. I personally like the player and feel he will do very well at LFc but must admit we have paid way over the odds for him. I know other posters do not agree with move and would have been happier with Llorente or the Hulk. However, given we have just bought Suarez who is unproven in the Premier League it would not make sense to go spend another £30 million on another unproven striker. I think buying Andy Carrol was the only move that could be made so late in the transfer window as he is probably the only striker in the Premier League that fits the NESV profile. I do beleive we have paid over the odds but given it's so late in the transfer window and Carrol is English plus 22 which has further inflated the price.
I also do not like how other supporters are getting on the owner's back, they promised to spend where they felt it would viable and have done so and thinks it unfair to compare them H & G who probably wouldn't have even replaced Torres.
Thanks For Reading.
31 Jan 2011 15:42:58

One last thing we should remember, at least he wants to sign for us.

Ok, so why did Dalglish waste so much time with Charlie Adams. we will offer 2.5m, then 3m. 3.1m. then a bit more. But we don't want to over pay for players again. Lets try finding a bargin. It doesn't make sense at £35million. I don't see manchester Utd fighing us for Carrol. That has got to tell you something about his price tag. He isn't worth it and Alex is laughin his head off.

MY GOD what are Liverpool thinking? For £35M they can get someone like Lorrente or Alexis Sanchez, but instead they want to spend it on a striker that has had ONE good season in the Premiership? And the stories I hear about Carroll's private life leads me to believe that this is another Diouf in the making. . The only good thing I can say about this transfer is that at least it gives us a better balance up front, with Carroll the target man and Suarez the deep lying forward (just like the old Dalglish days). But I'm afraid we'll never recoup a £35M fee, and in the end that won't be a good legacy for Comolli. Carroll money well spent,

31 Jan 2011 15:39:35

31 Jan 2011 15:39:17
I'm gutted we spent 35 million on Carroll, however, lets compare a little, Torres has fantastic skill probably one of the best players in the world when fit, but what have we seen? His injury rate must be around 25% and he may finish well but you can't say he hunts the ball down especially for us over the past year. Carroll, is simple a brut off and on the pitch he fights and gets in places on the pitch he shouldn't be, he certainly gives the defence something to think about, Nando did it with skill and alot of the time it worked Carroll brut force all the time and he knows were the goal is. So while Carroll is mixing it with all who will have it, Suarez will be in finishing thing off and if not Gerard and Kuyt certainly will. Lads it may just work.

31 Jan 2011 15:37:06

Ed - great site - done no work since Thursday, just been on th suite and listinening to Talks**t* - please post this:
Apparently its now £48m + Anelka for the Traitor who has had a change of mind.
{Editor's Note: No - I think you may have misheard. £48M that may include the player sound more like it.}
But £35m for Carroll? WTH? I applaud NESV for putting money where their mouth is, but if this is on advice from D Comolli then we are bang in trouble folks! What is going on?
{Editor's Note: Probably a Dalglish purchase rather than Comolli - who wanted Hoarau.}
If we also get Young £18m and Adam £10m (both of which are also too expensive) and we have shelled £23m for Surarez (great signing), this totals £86m.
{Editor's Note: Not so sure about Young, by Adam seems very possible.}
Torres is £48m, Babel £7m, so net spend by NESV is £31m. H&G would never have done this!
Only thing I can think of is that with the Financial Rules in place come the Summer, better to spend the money now rather than let the tax man take his 20%. Also, doubt we would get more than £30m come the summer for the Traitor.
Oh, and I can't wait to see the first 50/ 50 between Carra and the Traitor on Sunday!

I thought 18million for Bent was a Absolute Rip off. You forget how badly these players have played for england.
Its shocking how pure Bent and Carrol have been for England. On a level playing field, they have been found wanting. Really football has gone mad if £35 million carrol seems like a good deal. Or £18million for Bent. Really these players are in the same status or class range.
I don't understand why LFC are now over paying for players. After the whole speech about buying young and exciting talent for reasonable prices. Carrol is going to want Torres like Wages because of the price tag. He is no way a Rooney class striker. He is 3rd choice or 2nd choice. I wonder what they are playing at sometimes.
Carlton Cole is still on the table from Westham.

the way i see it, we are paying 35m for an INJURED carroll, which is 20m over what he is worth, he won't bring shirt sales like an aquero or lloerente, he'll bring alot of trouble to the club, he is not going to help us to the CL place or wining the PL, so why are we paying 35M in january for this player.

No matter what everyone thinks about Carrol, and the price (its not out money), I think we have to trust KK, he obviously thinks he can turn him into a world class striker, KK is not stupid, he is very astute, and I can only believe that KK wanted Carrol as he will fit in with his future plans, and persuaded owners that he was the man.
He is young, strong, brave, great with his head, scares the be-jesus out of defenders and apparently the type of player that Suarez like to play with. .could be awesome!

£35m for Carroll. Is this a genuine rumour or a joke. This smells of desperation on our part. So an unproven striker in his 1st season in top flight, with only 1 international cap is worth more than David Villa? Not to mention he's injured at the min. Also add the fact that he's a target man so requires wide men to beat people and put the ball in the box - which we haven't got? This is a bigger shock if it happens than ET betraying us! One positive thing though, it would appear that the owners are determined to show their intent with spending cash!
31 Jan 2011 15:32:51
Carrol & Suarez? Bloody hell. If KD and Steve Clarke can get Carrol's head right - and keep Mereiles, Gerrard, Lucas, Reina, Agger, Johnson. That's not too shabby. Carrol and young and hot headed but if they can improve him as a man and a player, he looks to have a huge amount of potential (NESV philosophy). Then the rumours that KD has eyes on Turan, Honda, Young, Toivonnen for the summer. Now we're talking. Fairly philosophical about Torres now. Fabulous player and having seen him play at Anfield I know how sad people will be. He is a star. But he is not Liverpool. Just like Ronaldo never was Man U and they do quite nicely without him. But - in retrospect, maybe he was a past problem - not a solution. The team was becoming far too 'Torres-centric' and that cannot be good strategically, tactically or personally. Torres was very much part of the Raffalution. Alonso and Mascherano were not pushed out: they wanted to leave and join their dream clubs in Spain. RAFFA was WRONG. And recently? He is not the Torres of 08. The sulks, lack of running the lines, the frustration of Carragher etc. Remember? Torres was afreat era, just like the Spice Boys era, but it's the past. THIS IS THE START OF THE DALGISHIFICATION AND REBUILD of a great club - not just an elastoplast fix. LFC are not a Man City or Chelsea. Dalglish, Ferguson, Wenger, and Moyes all cut from the same cloth. Building dynasties - not just managers for hire finding europlayers for hire.

" I am disapointed and blame the Bent deal on Newcastle getting £35m for Carroll, seriously, he is worth £12m - £16m max!. I just hope that Suarez and Carroll scare the pants off defenders and are strong enough to bang the goals in!

I know everyone is going on about 35mil being too much for A.C but shouldn't we trust the board, even the eds seem to have their doubts yet all along have been telling us to trust the king etc. . I think the price is a little inflated (15mil i would say) but if the owners are willing to back it then why not, we have a very young player with years ahead of him, undoubted potential and a perfect partner for Suarez in my eyes, surely the guys paid to make these decisions have their reasons. Lets back the team no matter what, its getting depressing listening to people slagging the club off.

BIG NEWS FOR LIVERPOOL!
Dealine day looking very busy for the Reds. We've reportedly agreed a £35m deal with Newcastle for Andy Carroll, horrendous transfer fee really. Good but not that good. We may also be willing to send Dani Pacheco on loan to help fill the void (already have Ameobi as target man before people start saying they are 2 different players).
Also the possibility of Charlie Adam still very much on the cards. The Tangerines have agreed a £1m fee for Andy Reid which could be to fill the void of Adam.
We could also see a final deal for Stephen Warnock late on for the season on loan to give the squad more depth.
Nando likely on his way out for £50m, another Judas.

If Suarez plays better off a strong, less mobile, player then Carroll should suffice and at least we'll have an aerial threat without having to rely on centre-backs for headed goals at set-pieces.

Carroll - Value £35m allegedly - Lout, 1 england cap, 1/ 2 season in the premier league under his belt.
I don't see how we can justify spending almost all the money we are getting for Torres on Carroll. It doesn't make sense. If we want a target man, bring Crouch back for 7m! Or spend £25-30m on Llorente! The rumour is that we want to buy young talent and develop them with a view to a bigger sell on price in the future. Who is going to pay anythign substantially over £35m for Andy Carroll in the future? Huh? Riddle me that!
If this Carroll deal goes through, Im done with football. Its a bloody disgrace.

I don't care about Torres anymore, he's made his position clear and that's that. But we will be weaker without him so why, oh why, sell him to Chelsea and strengthen our rival? We are not in a position of needing to sell so just tell him to shut up and get on with it till summer and he can go when we are in a much better position to get a QUALITY replacement for him.
If we sell without a replacement it just shows that once again our transfer skills are inept.

Good luck Torres and thanks for all the hard work in your first two seasons. On your day you are priceless, on recent form £50m seems like a good price, will miss ya! At least we can let a few physios go now. You won't be needing those earplugs now, can you hear those flags, Fernando?
That's my Facebook status, let's not wish him any harm, it isn't the Liverpool way.
Carroll is a good player and maybe what we need as the target man for Suarez to play off, £30 - £35m is a lot though, but he is young and does have potential and when we played Newcastle he made Torres look quite cheap by comparison.
Adam is on his way, 100%. And maybe Turan too, if not then N'Zogbia.

That's a lovely story, but it doesn't explain why he issued a statement earlier in the month that he was committed. This wasn't an overnight decision, it shows planning and if he had any inkling that there might be a scenario under which he would consider leaving at short notice it would have been right to inform Dalglish. He left it until the last possible moment because he knew he wouldn't have to face the fans and could make his position untenable at the club. The only saving grace for his reputation is that he didn't go on strike, but that's only due to the fact that he timed it so he wouldn't have to. I'd love to stick up for him, but if he showed once ounce of the class Alonso did when he wanted out (informed the club/ manager as early as possible etc) then he wouldn't be getting the stick he is. Sorry, but he's Owen mk.2 in my book and all the philosophising about how complex a character he is and how deeply this decision hurts him is only fluff, disguising a cowardly and calculated exit that showed no respect for the manager, club and fans that he paid lip-service to. As much as it'll hurt me to see him in a Chelsea shirt, i'd far prefer that to the sight of him donning a Liverpool shirt again.

With this supposed 50 million for Torres, do you think we could try and prize Xabi back and get Hulk aswell? With players like Suarez, Hulk, Xabi, Meireles, Gerrard, Kelly, Johnson, Suso, Carra and Reina in our team, I really think we can be a very formidable force.

Torres gone! No replacement coming in!
No one can be surprised that Newcastle turned down £30 Million for Carroll, the don't believe they need to sell, not only that, they would be aware of the £50 Million buy out clause for Torres, and if they weren't, letting it slip that we would sell Torres for £50 Million only alerted all and sundry of our intentions . . of course Abramovich was going to stump up the £50 Million, so guess what? they're holding out for as much as possible.
Why are we so inept when it comes to transfers?
As shrewd, and as poker faced as Kenny is, I reckon his rather ragged appearance on SSN (interview) showed how frustrated he is over the Torres debacle, and the fact that he knows he won't be able to bring in anybody this late on - only the fact that he is Kenny may appease the fans after another sh#te transfer window.
As an aside, as one of the Editors has always stated, SSN works in colaboration with their bookie, they have just let slip that the odds for Torres have "dropped" to 6/ 4 for him to stay . . ha, offer odds, make out money is being placed on him staying and cream the lot . . he should be 100/ 1 to stay, especially as he is in a helicopter on ruote for London . . .NOT!

If anyone is looking for someone to blame during this transfer window then blame Darren Bent. £24million set the price of strikers stupidly high. Carroll is only worth half his £30million price tag. It's ludicrous! Take the £50million and keep it until Summer. We should be able to get Llorente & Hulk for that sort of money. .not Andy Carroll & Charlie Adam!
---------------------------
I don't normally post but just had to respond to the one who said the above. Well done. There are some intelligent Liverpool fans left.
why o why are we getting carried away with the likes of ashley yound, chrlie ****** adam and now carrol.
We should be after world strikers like Falcao, Hulk, Llorente, Cordoza etc
not this english carp! ! I regret Dalglish coming back - he is trying to change the whole philosophy back to british not realising the worls has moved on 20yrs! get real man.
if they get these carp players - we should boycott anfield. what a load of s**ep.

maybe king kenny wants him fhe owners will only give ok to release the money so why blame the owners idiot.

Fernando Torres is as distraught as us fans about this move. He really hoped Liverpool would turn the corner. The fact it has been left so late illustrates he gave every chance for the club to improve it's playing staff. I think we all know that Fernando gave everything to the club, with the exception of the Hodgson months. It will be like a funeral if he leaves. Good luck Torres, hard to say, but perhaps you could help stop the mancs winning the league. He may just stay with us though. The sweet silver song of the lark. . Hold your head up high kopites.

31 Jan 2011 14:41:44
Eds,
Not sure why everybody is being so negative about Carroll afterall we did spend 11 or 12 million quid on Emile heskey once.
if you had 20/ 20 hindsight would you have signed a 21 year oil Didier drogba, knowing what you know now of him? I would.
However, I was lucky or unlucky to see him in about 1999 or 2000 when he played for Le Mans. i was doing some business with one of the owners/ sponsors (still not sure what he was to the club) and I got taken to see his pride and joy before a few glasses of the red stuff.
He loved another player in the le mans team and was convinced he would go onto bigger and better things. Drogba played in the same team, and boy was he clumsy. He was tall but he was not the physical presence he is now. next time I saw him was for marseille and he had bulked up and looked a real handful with good technique. A far cry from what i saw of him at le Mans.
Now Carroll, is already a bit of a monster. imagine how good he could be if he was tutored by His Royal Highness King Kenneth? Shearer credits dalglish with making him the striker he was and aldridge said he learnt a huge amount from him.
Yes 30 million now is over the top, but that is the market. Torres, is going for 50 million (roughly) and the guy has not improved in 2 years, if anything he has gone backwards. Yes, he was world Class but he is not even second choice with Spain.
Liverpool supporters have short memories. I remember when most supporters belived Aldridge to not be Liverpool class. Dalglish improved him and gave him the support he needed.
Imagine, the space Suarez/ Gerrard and all will have when this Monster ties up the opposition centre halves. he already showed how unplayable he is during the arsenbal game at highbury. Imagine how good he will be when it is Dalglish teaching him and not Hughton or Pardew.

Now they have cancelled it all together.

Torres is still at Melwood. He hasn't left and I believe he is not going to leave Liverpool, this window. Dalglish can't make excuses again and again for what he has said. .

If Torres goes to chavski i think it will be a step back in his carrer. Stamford bridge is no Anfield. it has less capacity less soul and definatley less atmosphere (plastic atmosphere ie handing out flags for special occasions). How long have chavski's pensioners got left in them? j.t is walking a tightrope with his nerve problems dogba is 2 years from packing it in and anelka will want a crack at the usa b4 he retires. look at what lfc are building young blood being introduced into the 1st team (kelly spearing pacheco) and good youngsters being brought like Wilson. The KOP adore torres no other team supports its players like the KOP we even applaude the away keeper. what im sayin is he will really regret leaving THE most succsessful team in england yes its in our history but i would say to him why don't you stay and emulate the GREATS of OUR club. Chavski have only been a top 4 side since maureen took over where were they before that.

Wasn't signing anyone on the last transfer window. Then he buys Rafael Van Der Vaart. But i'm guessing Tottenham will only be buying real quality. Would Carrol be allowed to play in Champions League. Robbie Keane is gone right.
They might trade Roman Pavlyuchenko to Newcastle for Carrol
31 Jan 2011 14:22:56

I have been at melwood since 10.00am, Id never been before and have just returned. . freezing! I would recommend it to anyone but you don't get to see much unless your about 6foot 8inch and can see over the fence!
When i got there Torres had already arrived and lots of reporters were outside. Suarez arrived about 1.00am with his wife and baby.
15 mins later the official liverpool photographer who was known to the sky tv guys arrived. They knew him, and were quite chatty with me.
i walked along the road and climbed on garden wall to see the players just start training. No torres and no Suarez. There were about twenty players, half of them had yellow tops on. Stevie G was only one without leggings, and believe me it was freezing.
I stayed until 1pm and just as I was leaving a dark 4X4 Audi drove out with Torres at the wheel. Trust me there were no helicopters and the pparazi were taking the piss out of reports coming in from talksport and Goal.com about Torres had left!
Overall a really nice couple of hours. . ps both Maxi and Kuyt drive white 4x4s ( bmws I think). Johnson has a personalised number plate on his sivler car ( no idea what type though!)
Out and about with scout!
31 Jan 2011 14:20:50
Ed now that the torres move is basically done , do you think dalglish and comolli are at anfield working hard on replacements , and do you think john w henry + dalglish will know how important torres is to us and will definatly sign a replacement and will try for a big name before the window closes?
Can you please post this ed and if you could reply would be appreciated , need to know if youve got any info , gettin closer to 11pm and getting really worried.

I always thought Mike Ashley was the kind of person that would sell his own mother for a profit. So why isn't he biting LFC hand off. He is also a bit of greedy person, so i guess he will be waiting until 9pm for the best offer.
But he is the kind of person who will sell. Im sure Chris Hughton sacking had something to do with Carrol leaving in this window.
31 Jan 2011 14:18:19
Too much coverage and attention going to Torres and new striking options. Our defence is at times awful and has cost some silly goals this season so far.

31 Jan 2011 14:15:45

If anyone is looking for someone to blame during this transfer window then blame Darren Bent. £24million set the price of strikers stupidly high. Carroll is only worth half his £30million price tag. It's ludicrous! Take the £50million and keep it until Summer. We should be able to get Llorente & Hulk for that sort of money. .not Andy Carroll & Charlie Adam!

I'm sure Torres told the owners in October that he would be leaving the club after everything that has happened to him. This is not something out of the blue. They had time to shop for a replacement striker. They knew the situation and him putting himself in the shop window over the last month. Before that he couldn't be bothered to run.
I'm sure Torres handed his transfer request because Luise Suarez signed for LFC. We knew at the Sunderland game that Gerrard was pissed with Torres cause he wanted to leave.
say Oh Ar Suarez, say Oh Ar Suarez,
Its time to let the man leave. If Liverpool haven't managed to get two players in. Then that is their problem. Or they might want it this way. A cheaper striker. Money in the Bank. And Force Chelsea's hand and see if they can get a bit more out them.

"Chelsea fc, have just booked a doctor to conduct a medical, at Chelsea &Westminster hospital, scheduled for 4pm".
If Chelsea use a run of the mill NHS Hospital, 30 miles away from their state of the art training facility, I'll eat a bowl of sh*ep. Not that I don't think he's going though. I reckon it's nailed on and when the disappointment and anger has subsided it is the right thing for us all. Your loss Fernando, not ours. Hopefully we've got someone else lined up but if we don't then let's still get behind the 11 that lines up for the rest of the season.
And for everybody saying this is a dark day in the history of LFC, please let's have a bit of perspective here. We as a club know only too well what a dark day truly entails. We'll get over the fact that somebody who used to love playing for us no longer does. It's a line trotted out regularly but, nobody is bigger than Liverpool Football Club.
Onwards and upwards and YNWA!
31 Jan 2011 14:09:25
I havent posted here in a while. I didn't want to get caught up in rumour and gossip and I much prefer waiting for official club statements.
I had Torres down as a loyal footballer who would honuor his contract and always do his best. Someone who would rise to a challenge and the crowd would love him for it. He could have been a legend! He has proven to be a "glory boy" now just interested in money, playing for the richest team and trophies. You know what Fernando, the grass isn't always greener and I hope LFC strengthen the squad and find their form. The top 4 in the English Premier League could well be Man U, Man City, Arsenal and LFC next season. No guarantees he will be happy at Chelsea or we will suddenly start performing. Chelsea are going to throw money at their problems and make big signings now and in the summer, Nando might find himself 3rd or 4th choice striker if he doesn't perform.

Should we get Aqilani back off loan to supply Suarez? Could they play well together?
In reply. Yes we should get Aqualini back he is a quality player who was just beginging to show his class at the end of last season after taking a while to recover from injury and to settle in to a new team. He has been fantastic this season for Juventus and on the form he has been showing this season he could play with anyone let alone players of the class of Suarez, Torres, Gerrard and Meirlies
{Editor's Note: Aquilani will never move back to Liverpool.}

Let Torres GO and keep the money in the bank. Put 50m in high interest account. Better than paying torres for being injured. We don't really need another Striker in this window.
Everyone knows Torres will pick up another knock and be out for another 2 months. So Let him go, he can be Chelsea's problem. We can put £50million in the bank and let Suarez play upfront. I don't see it killing Liverpool's chances.
Get a couple of midfield signings or a LBK, CBK. Forget about signing another striker.
Let Torres leave the club and join Chelsea for at-least £60million. Anything less would be a rip off.

Can i just say regarding the andy carroll bid, 30m is not too much. You are forgetting how close we are to deadline and the premium of english players, and the fact that he's newcastle's striker. Oh and the amount bent went for.
Carroll for all his faults is an AWESOME player. he is a warrior - always gets his head in there and frightens the hell out of defenders and has really good feet. He's like crouch but better in the air, the tackle and at shooting. I really rate this guy he's got all the physical attributes AND the rude english mettle that we need. Im fed up with people without the heart necessary for this club. I'm glad the king sees it too, i reckon Carroll would be a brilliant signing. And jamie and stevie and the king can sort his life out for him.
Also i think lots of you owe glen johnson an apology you were slating him hard and he's proving what a legend he is, not saying anything and playing out of position. And playing well too.
Also joe cole is a legend don't write him off he will turn out to be a wicked signing. He's just unlucky with injuries and i'd rather have him than aquilani.

I'm hearing major rumours about Torres.
1)he didn't want to go but the mix up was down to his agent and he was/ is trying to back track, but nesv/ dalglish were disgusted by his actions and so are saying they will listen to the right offers. .so they will allow him to go if the right bid comes through.
2) man city are still being informed of the developments and apparently will double his wages/ offer of whatever Chelsea are offering. .and city will also smash any record to make sure they are at least heard.
Good golly miss Molly:)

From the evening edition of the Sankei Sports newspaper in Japan.
"Offers? I've had nothing, " laughed Keisuke Honda when asked about moving before the January 31 deadline, suggesting he has already decided to stay at CSKA Moscow. Honda left Doha Airport this morning en route to CSKA's training camp in Turkey. With the Champions League restarting in February, "I just want to win each game and become a better player, said Honda.
That's what it said in the paper, believe or disbelieve, but don't shoot the messenger. On the subject of Japanese players, I don't know if anyone else watched the Asian Cup but left-back Yuto Nagatomo (plays for Cesena in Italy) would be a fantastic buy. The guy's energy is quite incredible, he can tackle, he put a cross in and he's got a few tricks up his sleeve. He's not fat like Insua, he's not made of glass like Fabio, and he's mum's not on Facebook.

Fernando Llorente has a £36million buy-out clause. I say use the £50m for Torres we get later today and then put it all on Llorente. Because of the timing we have to act now, he's not cup-tied for the Europa League as well which is a must + he's spanish and knows Pepe well. We have to give it a go, its our best option with such little time. .

One thing that pi$$e$ me off about the whole Torres saga is we should never have named our price of £50m.
If we spend £30m+ on someone like Carroll surely we could have gotten more than £50m for Torres.
Should have bid £25m for Hazard & £25m for either Neymar or Lukaku.
Think if Hazard / Lukaku knew that the other was coming then both would join.
Personally i think we have shed loads of cash to spend. NESV will spend in the summer if not tonight.This is gonna be a rollercoaster ride of a day.
Would rather pay £10m for Hoarau than £30m+ for Carroll by the way & use the remainder on wingers.
Ed, i thought the new financial rules weren't coming in till 2012? Is it definately coming into play at the end of this season?
Cheers,

31 Jan 2011 13:32:45
If Torres is indeed going to Chelsea then I guess its time for a new chant, can't recall where I saw this but it goes along the lines of this:
"We always knew he was a red, Suarez, Suarez, his armband said you'll never walk alone, Suarez, Suarez! he brought it from a lad from Spain, long blonde hair, forgot his name, Oh Luis Suarez is Liverpool's new number 9. LALALALA"
Quite funny but I do wonder if Suarez will be given the number 9 shirt if Torres does leave, what do you think Ed?

"We're going to look after ourselves first and foremost. Is that not the same in any business? If someone's going to go you've got to have a replacement."
Now unless they knew Torres was going before the Suarez deal, does this mean we have another striker coming in, or am I reading between the lines?

he is an oaf with the speed of a slug and the movement of a elephant. If Carroll is worth £30m then Torres is over £100m.

Are we being a little bit fickle here guys saying that Torres is a sulk and rubbish for the last 2 years. The boy is quality and along with Stevie and Pepe, a shining light in what has been an average squad for the last 3 years. I personally would like to see him stay and even if he goes wish him well though i don't think Chelski is the club for him to flourish again. The banner has flew in the kop for years "Form is temporary, Class is permanent". . .In KK we trust, he will do what is right for the best interests of the club. . .a rumour i can add is from a physio at villa. Warnock has left the club and completed his medical before Konchesky's move was sanctioned. Also a party from the club are in Europe closing a deal for a top top name?

Isn't it funny how Tottenham have suddenly bid £35m for Aguero- which was rejected. Could it be that they fear LFC will swoop now with the cash from Torres ?
Typical of sack face Rednapp, trying to benefit from our scouting network ( not just for Kun, but everyone we seem to be after).
Come to think of it, where do they get all their cash?
I think Suarez will turn out to be better than Torres, but we do need to get striking support in.

31 Jan 2011 13:04:45
Ed, surely you are worried by LFC panicking and throwing 30 m on carroll and gomaz who will be a flop in the PL and isn't worth 10m! Questions have to be asked about NESV AND CAMOLLI'S targets! They said they were going to invest wisely but are looking like complete amateurs in this market! Why are we not going for horarua until the summer instead of just blowing money on rubbish especially the likes of ashley young!. Ed, do you agree? {ed's note - no, they have no choice but to get someone and you don't know the circumstances surrounding Hoarau to judge if they should be going for him or not.}
31 Jan 2011 13:01:37
Carrol and suarez could form a tremendous partnership, but there is no way he is worth anything near 30m! he has had one good season whos to say hes not a one hit wonder remember michael ricketts had one good season got england caps turned out to be rubbish! he is worth 15m at most what are we playing at ed? im glad they rejected the bid just praying we don't raise it {ed's note - no idea, I don't rate him at all.}

Not really a rumour as such but i've noticed alot of people have almost turned on Fernando, don't get me a wrong i don't agree with the way he has done things, but i remember a certain Liverpool legend that nearly signed for chelski (mr stevie g) and yes we all burned his shirt and said how much we hated him and how wrong he was, but then he changed his mind and we've have many great years worshipping him again, I'm just saying don't put your eggs all in one basket kenny has a way with speech's maybe f9t will stay a lfc player for longer then you think, my ideal scenario suarez lw torres & carrol up top YNWA"
I don't think the outpouring of hate is coming simply from him wanting out, but more the manner in which he has done it. He knew what he intended, had already made a statement earlier in the month committing himself, he waited until there were no more games in the window so he didn't have to face the crowd, by which time all the plans of Dalglish and Comolli have been wasted as they were building a team around the idea that he was staying and thus we are left with little or no time to find a replacement. Look at Charlie Adam, he slapped in a transfer request early, carried on playing for his club and risked the wrath of the fans, never made any statements of staying with the club and as such even Blackpool fans respected him for it. I struggle to see the good done in burning a shirt but make no mistake Torres consciously ensured his exit was as cowardly and awkward as it possibly could have been for a club attempting to rebuild. I don't begrudge anyone wanting to leave our club, movement is in the nature of the game, but there is a right way and a wrong way to do so.
31 Jan 2011 12:59:37
I seem to recall similar comments when Mr Dalglish signed a certain Alan Shearer, for what was then a British record fee. Perhaps somebody can refresh my memory as to what happened next!
In KK, I and hopefully we all trust.
andy carroll is no alan shearer
Maybe, maybe not. Nobody will know for sure, for at least another few years. What I do know is that KK is not going to waste 30 million of LFC's precious funds, unless he truly believes that a player is worth it at the present time. As such, I fully trust our current manager.
31 Jan 2011 12:57:40
M actually diigusted with nesv,
we all knew our needs at the start of this window, a striker to parnter torres, a left back , two wingers, and possibly a cnetral midfielder and defender
we got suarez one off our list, i don't think these guys have the ambition that we need
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
alright, first, NESV have no ambition? We just put in a TWENTY FIVE MILLION bid in for a striker, when we STILL have torres and suarez. that's not from sales, put from their own pocket. smart up mate, NESV are arguably the best possible people to buy LFC.
Two, you said we need six players in the jan transfer window. SIX?! man city buy 6 players in THE SUMMER. it's not that nesv haven't got ambition, it's that you have a delusion of the transfer of football players
alriight firstly we wouldn't be bidding anything for carroll if fernando was not in a helicopter ion his way to stamfrod bridge and
secondly i never said we needed to buy six player in this window , i said our needs at the starrt of this window were for four possibly six players, not all neccesary in this window, from a list of six three would ave been good, six impossible , i m not delusional aout expectations, we could have signed a striker winger and fullbakc by now in this window if we were truly serious aout making something of this season. this is why fernando has left. {ed's note - Torres' helicopter looks remarkably like an Audi....}

As you Eds have said, Torres's bid is accepted. So i believe he's gone then. I am very disappointed in him, not today or this past week only, but also during Hodgson's reign that he was playing for himself and under his talent. And this past week and today is more disappointng. I know that Liverpool had underachieved the past years and they never kept the promise they have given him, but atleast he should have stayed to put his transfer request and move. I believe that He's not that of a liverpool fan, if he's adding more pressure on the club like this instead of trying to use his figure and stablize the clubs situation. By the way ED is daily mail and caught offside are reliable? I am from Outside so i want to know? Thanks torres for those cheering times when you scored, but you should go. {ed's note - neither are sorry.}

Isnt it a bit, no very stupid that we are willing to pay 30mill+ for carroll, but we were adamant that we wudnt pay that for suarez, who is a far better player.
i think we paid a fair price for suarez, but hes better than carroll who is worth bout 16mill.
i think carroll is a panic buy and there hasnt been much thought put into the decision.
we need to brreak the bank for a proven player(gomez, llorente, aguero, or maybe negredo)

Hi Ed i can confirm the bid for carroll was 25 million not the 30 being reported even though he is worth 15 at most. Has anyone got an idea of who our next target will be? macca maybe? I honestly don't think llorente is an option i believe he will go to madrid in the summer that's what he wants and the A. Bilbao president said he is not for sale in january. I think we will find it very difficult to sign anyone else this window hope im wrong.

I m actually diigusted with nesv,
we all knew our needs at the start of this window, a striker to parnter torres, a left back , two wingers, and possibly a cnetral midfielder and defender
we got suarez one off our list, i don't think these guys have the ambition that we need
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
alright, first, NESV have no ambition? We just put in a TWENTY FIVE MILLION bid in for a striker, when we STILL have torres and suarez. that's not from sales, put from their own pocket. smart up mate, NESV are arguably the best possible people to buy LFC.
Two, you said we need six players in the jan transfer window. SIX?! man city buy 6 players in THE SUMMER. it's not that nesv haven't got ambition, it's that you have a delusion of the transfer of football players

Hi Ed, Quote from KK himself : With regards to Fernando, it's the same as what the club statement was two or three days ago. We will stick to that and we won't be adding to that.
"Our supporters deserve to be told. But I think our supporters deserve to be told definitive news rather than speculative stuff."
hes saying he wants the supporters to know the truth about whats going on. as i can imagine he knows how much nando means to alot of LFC fans so why wud he say this if there is a deal been done?
31 Jan 2011 12:29:20
Alot of ppl seem to be giving NESV a hard time. Dont forget they saved our club. Im fairly optimistic that we will get 2/ 3 players today. Im getting the impression that NESV mean business. Im expecting that a worldclass player may join today. Ed are you hearing anything about a defender coming in?
{Editor's Note: Warnock maybe.}
31 Jan 2011 12:29:11
Liverpool Rumours
Very close friend to Torres has been told his transfer request has been rejected as we do not need to sell anyone, BUT if a bid of £50million comes in and a suitable world class replacement is found then he can leave. . Torres is going nowhere unless we sign a world class striker to replace him with. This could well mean that Torres will stay till the summer then an auction can begin at the end of the season with bids expected from Barca, City and Cheslea. KK not interested in Aguero due to wage demands.
31 Jan 2011 12:29:09
Liverpool Rumours
Ed,
Hoping that this will get posted.
Why can't we look at Turan, Mata, Honda?
We can have atleast two of them in place of Carrol or for 30m pounds.
We can give at least a try.
{Editor's Note: Turan will not be available until the summer. Mata is happy where he is and has signed a new contract. All is quiet on Honda.}

£30million for Carroll. . .are we insane? David Villa, Carlos Tevez, Edin Dzeko, David Silva and a whole host of others were cheaper. It just shows how much of a premium there is on English homegrown players. We could get Hulk, Falcao, Negredo or Llorente for cheaper. . . .or stick an extra £10million on that for Aguero.
The prices in this transfer window have gone crazy. What's the reason? Are the Uefa regulatons coming this summer so clubs are trying to get all excessive spending out of the way now?

Bid accepted for Torres although LFC will not let it proceed unless they can find a replacement. Anelka won't move so they're negotiating elsewhere. Expect things to happen though as Chelsea wish to force through the deal and KK wants Torres gone as he is no longer committed to the club

. . .And soory for going on, but i can't help but think back to when a young Aguero spoke about how much he'd love to play for Liverpool on that old footy programme on channel 4 "GOALAZZO". .

If interested in Carroll surely we need a winger brought in too?
Kuyts inability to lift the ball 3 feet off the ground is worrying, what's the point in bringing a guy with aerial prowess if there's no balls being delivered, liverpool are also notoriously weak from attacking corners.
MarkyMark
31 Jan 2011 12:20:09
Liverpool Rumours
My understanding is that Torres will be allowed to leave today only if the following stipulations are met:
1. £50million or cash plus player to an agreed £50million from Chelsea (e.g. £40m plus Anelka)
2. A suitable replacement is found. Anelka would suit as would Carrol from NUFC. Others in the frame include Aguero from Athletico Madrid.
If either of the above are not realised Torres will have to stay until summer. There is no way KK will allow LFC to enter the second half of the season with only one (untried) striker.
Liverpool would prefer the above scenario to move ahead now. Keeping Torres would prove problematic both in the dressing room and with the fans.
Fingers crossed for a good result for LFC.

Hi ed. i agree with you mate on a deal being agreed for torres as i heard the same. it didn't come from the bbc news or the mirror either (which have been said to be untrue). .
to the people saying he is going to stay. . wake up will you, we won't be bidding 30 million for andy carrol if he was staying. that would mean torres/ suarez/ carrol one of them would be on the bench. as the side needs rebuilding in many areas having all these strikers won't happen.
Once a fee for another striker is agreed, torres bid will be announced, but i think we may be in for some surprises today.

Liverpool have not and will not accept a bid for Torres until we secure a placement.
I agree that the deal to Chelsea has been on the cards for a while and LFC are playing a shrewd game in terms of negotiations and dealings.
The stumbling block with Chelsea was that Anelka vetoed any move back to Anfield.
My view is that the only other players that will be signed this window will be
Adams and Warnock.

Not ideal, but if the rumours of us trying to spend £30m on Carroll are true, why not make do and mend till the summer, hijack Brum's loan deal for Martins and simply paper over the cracks in the attack until we can spend wisely at a later date. He's not great but he could fill a hole for a few months and he's strong enough that Suarez could work off him.
On a side issue, does anyone else feel a bit sorry for NESV? They tried not to make the mistake of the previous owners by not promising the world, it was made clear that most of the business would be at the end of the month if it was to be done, and thanks to an unforeseen Torres-shaped spanner in the works they find themselves in a catch 22 scenario - spend and appease the fans, and with it likely get poor value for money, or save until summer and risk the fans turning amid conspiracy theories of asset stripping and a planned sale of Torres.

30 million seems OTT for Carroll, but afew points:
1. This has been the price mooted by other clubs in the summer, and prices get inflate din Jan.
2. KK likes his physical approach, as it is old school. He would work well with Suarez.
3. The most important point is not to focus on the money, but that the new owners are prepared to bid big to get in player sif we need them.
Personally, I think Carroll would suit our play very well.

Ed,
With the new financial regulations coming into play in the summer, isn't it likely that we would not receive the same kind of money we are asking for in the summer as being talked about for Torres now?
{Editor's Note: Correct - that is the plan.}
It looks like prices being paid at the moment are to bypass these new regulations, so why would a team try to pay this amount when they could be banned from European Competition as it would be from money they do not have?
{Editor's Note: None of this years costs are included in the new rules - so it is better to spend now rather than in the summer. Hence the premium.}
Is this not the perfect time to sell him, get a good fee, as it will drop in the summer and after that he only has 2 years left on his contract and could leave for free?

even though they're a good team, i think it's kinda sad everytime you see the squad list for arsenal, maybe two english squad players and that's it :/

Given our recent transfer history I wouldn't be surprised to see us sell Torres for the publically announced fee of £50 Million and have nobody come in as a replacement, I mean what's another six months with only one recognised quality striker?
As for Andy Carroll I would be happy if he came, however I'm sure being a local lad he would be quite happy to stay at Newcastle, not too mention the riots it will cause amongst the Geordie fans and the club. The only way I see him coming is if we offer virtually all of the £50 Million from the Torres deal, and lets be honest - £50 Million for Carroll, I don't think so, therefore, what or who is our next option?
Ed. Isn't Carroll injured? and if so wouldn't this also cause a slight problem re passing any medical?
{Editor's Note: It depends on the injury.}

Charlie Adams I like but are we really looking for a CM when we really need wide players. OK if we get him for 6-7mil but 10mil+ sorry but we have other areas to focus on. Why don't we go and get Hazzard 20mil, Honda 12mil, Turan 12mil, Hulk 25mil or even Sanchez 25mil, surley these players will be more attractive and would please a lot of fans especially after the hurt of losing Torres to Chelsea

I d rather buy emander until the end of the season than panic spend 30 million on carroll
please god no carroll
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I agree with this comment we could get him for about 2-3mil and would defo do a job for us at least until the summer when we can get another striker without all this presure, if he turns out to be a good bye we keep him to fight for him place if not we sell him for 5mil+ good business all round. 30mil for Carrol is a joke he's only costing that much because its the last day of transfers and people are desperate.

30mil for Andy Carrol is way over the top we are just wasting money. Also Ashley Young is ok but again there are better out there for the money there asking. Charlie Adams I like but are we really looking for a CM when we really need wide players. OK if we get him for 6-7mil but 10mil+ sorry but we have other areas to focus on. Why don't we go and get Hazzard 20mil, Honda 12mil, Turan 12mil, Hulk 25mil or even Sanchez 25mil, surley these players will be more attractive and would please a lot of fans especially after the hurt of losing Torres to Chelsea.
What do you think?

Torres not training with the team this morning.
Apparently he hasnt changed out of the clothes he arrived in and has been in one of the offices with Kenny and 2 other guys, 1 probably his agent.
Are those who still think he will be an LFC player tomorrow just wishful thinking? I didn't want to except it, but he is going all the evidence is there guys!
I hope Anelka is part of the deal that takes Nando to Chelsea, he has the experience in the league, Suarez will need a few games to settle in. But we need wide players too, I hope that the Torres situation has not shifted the focus away from buying the wingers that we need. How nice would it be to hear that we have landed Young and Adam today, then we have some good news to celebrate rather than coming to terms with Nando going

Not a rumour just more of note and my thoughts on the hole Nando situation. . . as much as i don't want torres to go £50M is alot of money and partly see his reasons of wanting to go! I just hope that Nando doesn't come a hated man at Anfield, he shud be remembered for this goal recored and making LFC a profit of £25M+. . . all the big names more on 1 day. . Fowler, Owen, Stevie Mc, Ronaldo, Beckham at United! its time we reflect on Torres in the past and see the great player he was and move forward with Suarez and any other possible new signings today!
Would love to see a target man for LS. . Gomez or Llorente and can't see it happening but wud love to see a return for Xabi

With Torres medical not being straight forward (dodgy knee) it will be very tight to the deadline if the £50m transfer does go through. Some doctor will have to sign it off and put his b***s on the line so it will be a long medical. Torres will need to be on the move before lunch time at the very latest.

31 Jan 2011 10:09:42
I think he will stay and there will be a bidding war between Real Madrid, Villareal and debt ridden Barcelona where he would be guaranteed CL football and a chance at titles.
If he went to Barca where he would get to play with his good friend David Villa we would take:
Jeffren Suarez (winger - 10m buyout)
Henrique (CB - cost 10m)
If he went to Villareal we would take:
Nilmar (striker would cost 20-25m)
Gonzalo Rodriguez (CB would be Bosman)
And if he went to Real we would take:
Pepe (CB would be Bosman)
Royston Drenthe (pacy LW cost 15-20m)
31 Jan 2011 10:09:36

Morning Ed, just wondering, is there a possibility that the Torres stories have all been a clever ploy, all clubs focussed on Torres are holding on moves for other players and also taking limelight off Liverpool's attention on other targets?
Just another quick note, lets look at this logically, if Torres stays, we have 2 quality strikers to push for top 5.
If Torres goes, we have made a profit of nearly £25m, for a player that has been out of form for nearly a year, including the World Cup and injuries, and has not been the same player, in terms of attitude sinse the departure of Alonso, Masc and finally Rafa, i know its a busy day, just quick thoughts on this ed?

It seems we're still assuming the stance of 'Fernando is not for sale', so it will definitely be long day. I'm very disappointed that he's looking very likely to be leaving us - especially for Chelsea. I'd hope that the club would try to get the likes of Barca to match their offer.
Still, if we're looking for a replacement, I'd hope to see the likes of Toivonen considered - I think he'd work well with Suarez. Likewise Forlan.
I just hope our interest in Carrol is not true.

I know a lot of people are saying the guy should just go and is a traitor and whilst I don't agree with what he has done and can see (to a degree) why he is frustrated.

I do blame him for waiting until the 28th January to make this public knowledge though knowing fine well the chances of us lining up even a similar replacement are practically zero.

I had heard that too Ed but there is no smoke without fire, cheaper than Adam only 21, 22 next month and all of South Korea will now buy Liverpool shirts he's the rising star of Asian football.

I have a feeling like Chelsea won't actually come in with a new 50M bid!
if they do it better not be at like 10.55pm or we better not accept a bid for any little bit less than 50M.

Liverpool Rumours
Hi,
At first i was gutted about Torres wanting to leave but now i've had time to think about it I know its for the best. I was only remembering the memories of previous seasons not the return of 9 goals in 23 games this season, if Chelsea want to pay £50 mil for that sort of return then they are welcome to him. I'm most disappointed that he came out a couple of weeks ago and said he would stay to then turn round with 3 days left of the transfer window and say he wants to go. We don't need players like that. The last person that left to win tophies (Owen) did nothing and we went on to win the champions league because we stopped relying on one player too much. The same will happen now, Torres will leave we'll sign quality players and with KK as manager we'll be fine. Chelsea are on their way down and Torres alone won't be enough for them. If he goes our aim for this season has to be to finish above them.
I know we need a replacement for Torres but not Carroll please, Its going to be interesting day. Young to sign, Adam at the last minute and a quality forward from Spain that hasny been mentioned yet and one that spurs havent bid for yet.
Just remember we are LFC and will always be bigger than one player, we're on the way up again!

Not perhaps the signing that will light up Anfield or have us wanting more during the rest of the day, but Liverpool will announce the signing of exciting 21-year-old Korean midfielder Koo Ja-Cheol from Jeju United on a 3.5 yr contract. The transfer fee is believed to be £2.4m rising up to £4m. Jeju might also get a friendly when Liverpool travel to Asia for their pre-season tour this summer or the next.
{Editor's Note: I heard yesterday that he had signed for Wolfsburg.}
Just for a laugh I looked on Wikipedia after seeing this report on the BBC site. At first he had signed for Liverpool but when I looked again he had signed for Wolfsburg. I think that it is best that we all wait until confirmation is given on any move by LFC. Thank God it's the last day of the transfer window. From tomorrow we could lie about who we are going to sign in the summer!

Just to cheer you all up, I've heard this from a reliable source about Everton. Apparently they asked for Jamie Ohara on loan, Redknapp said no - 3.5mill to buy. Moyes told him he would do but doesn't have a penny to spend, and they could be in real trouble soon.
Source? Someone very very close to Jamie Ohara, her Dad works were I do in Halewood. .

Ed why on earth would we want andy carrol at lfc he is slower than carra and s**ep and for us bidding 30m is ridiculous. if we are looking for s hort term replacement then why not kevin davis or elmander we would get them both cheapish and both are far better than carrol?
31 Jan 2011 09:42:05
"Why has everyone started to hate on nando?"
Because of the timing and the cowardly exit strategy he seems to be employing. I don't blame him for wanting to go if he believes he can better himself (doubtful at the rent boys with their plastic flags, plastic fans and a manager who doesn't seem to want him there however).
I do blame him for waiting until the 28th January to make this public knowledge though knowing fine well the chances of us lining up even a similar replacement are practically zero.
Hope this answers your questionAdam

If torres does go, and assuming that a replacement cannot be secured in time, i would like to suggest giving the number 9 shirt to a certain mr pacheco , i reacon that the lad deserves a chance, and he would cut out his heart for us, and i feel he and suarez could form a strong partnership, do we not feel this could be dp's perfect opportunity to step up permanently onto the big stage and learn from a master goalscorer?
what do you think?

31 Jan 2011 09:29:20
Omething very fishy about the Torres fiasco, He is clearly unhappy and has been all season, his one downfall is his sulky behaviour and that is becoming ever more present. He has consistantly stated his love for the club and wished to win things in the shirt, he too has stated he would not play for another english club so why now want to jump ship to Chelsea, they are not the team of old and will need a very expensive overhaul in the summer buying in my guess of 4-5 players, now i know the russian could do this but Fernando could very well go to Barcalona in the summer and win everything, they are without doubt the best team on the planet, anyone who watched El classico will have witnessed one of the best footballing displays certainly in my 30 years, they are a dream team, and why would someone like him not want to be a part of that, instaed of watching out for Terry the wife stealer. If Nano wants out because of Abrupt Scousers in the dressing room, wait til you meet John Terry!

Mock if you want, But I have a friend who works as part of the production team at lfc tv. . . Now he has informed me that all this torres stuff is a ploy by liverpool to keep chelsea away from aguero. . He told me that we have a gentlemans agreement with athletico to buy him in the summer but if a team were to match his buy out clause they would be powerless to stop him moving now. . After the news broke last week of chelseas double bid for Aguero and godin last week liverpool panicked and are now leading chelsea a merry dance making them believe torres is a reality as abramovich is a huge fan. they will keep chelsea hanging on until the last minute then refuse deal at which point it will be too late for chelsea to make a move for someone else. . .
As I said you don't have to believe me but I don't see why my friend would lie.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And are Liverpool gonna come out and tell everyone after and say don't be mad at Torres, It was all our doing. I know you have eliminated yourself from ridicule here by saying it's not you it's your mate who works at lfc and why would he lie, but this is crazy. Your mate is a fantasist, I can tell you that Torres is dead set on leaving lfc who he believes have not got or will not use there spending power to get galant, he wanted billionaires like city ir cfc where they buy there players rather than negotiate for them. Which implies to me that Torres is of the same mind as many of our fans who seem to visit this site and say the owners are here to get profit and are not interested in success. Shame really because I like our class at the moment and the fact that we seem to be conducting ourselves respectfully. Let's wait and see how our new owners get on withthis test, when Torres leaves today they may come in for some deserved criticism or the may earn the respect of 1000's of doubters.

In reply to this
He could have been a legend, he is nothing more than a traitor
Liverpool Rumours
I think we all have to try and understand why Torres wants to go, he is a Liverpool legend, no doubt, I am really happy we have had him at the club and I really don't want him to go, BUT he has been lied to by the previous owners of the club.
He loves Liverpool FC but became unhappy because he wants to win things, to be honest he could have left in summer, BUT he didn't, he didn't because I believe he knew that his fee would go into the owners pockets, namely H&G, plus he thought that a top four finish was possible and he would be back in the Champions League.
He wants to play Champions League and sadly LFC made the wrong appointment as manager, Hodgson wasn't the right man and now its too late to achieve top four.
His chance has come to move this month and he has taken it to move to pastures new and the difference now is that he knows Liverpool will benefit 100% with his fee and therefore the investment needed will very much be there to spend on new players although sadly he won't be part of it.
If you go Fernando today, thankyou for all the great memories you've left behind, you have been a legend!

Torres has been loyal to two under achieving clubs his whole career so far, us and Athletico. I don't begrudge him his desire to move and he deserves his shot. But moving to Chelsea just doesn't make sense at all, money can't be the issue, he could get whatever he wants with LFC. If it really is titles he's after, then sort a move to Barca in the summer. For all the flack he'll take, and the upset he'll cause I would have had more respect for the lad if he bought out his contract and went to United, and that's the truth.

Hopefully liverpool will not do their usuall and settle for less than expected for Torres. We have a history of not being able to negotiate what our players are actually worth (i.e macherano).

I think we all have to try and understand why Torres wants to go, he is a Liverpool legend, no doubt, I am really happy we have had him at the club and I really don't want him to go, BUT he has been lied to by the previous owners of the club.
He loves Liverpool FC but became unhappy because he wants to win things, to be honest he could have left in summer, BUT he didn't, he didn't because I believe he knew that his fee would go into the owners pockets, namely H&G, plus he thought that a top four finish was possible and he would be back in the Champions League.
He wants to play Champions League and sadly LFC made the wrong appointment as manager, Hodgson wasn't the right man and now its too late to achieve top four.
His chance has come to move this month and he has taken it to move to pastures new and the difference now is that he knows Liverpool will benefit 100% with his fee and therefore the investment needed will very much be there to spend on new players although sadly he won't be part of it.
If you go Fernando today, thankyou for all the great memories you've left behind, you have been a legend!

Mock if you want, But I have a friend who works as part of the production team at lfc tv. . . Now he has informed me that all this torres stuff is a ploy by liverpool to keep chelsea away from aguero. . He told me that we have a gentlemans agreement with athletico to buy him in the summer but if a team were to match his buy out clause they would be powerless to stop him moving now. . After the news broke last week of chelseas double bid for Aguero and godin last week liverpool panicked and are now leading chelsea a merry dance making them believe torres is a reality as abramovich is a huge fan. they will keep chelsea hanging on until the last minute then refuse deal at which point it will be too late for chelsea to make a move for someone else. . .
As I said you don't have to believe me but I don't see why my friend would lie.
31 Jan 2011 08:38:50
Liverpool Rumours
I really like Redfish's post. And I don't think it is too farfetched either. .
So Chelsea wanted Aguero but failed. So, LFC fake a Torres transfer request so that Chelsea focus all their attention on Trying to get Torres. Meanwhile, we sneakily try to sign Aguero behind Chelsea's back. When we get him, Torres will be happy because from what I have read to believe, the two are good friends.
The thoughts behind this are:
1) Why would Torres want to leave? A couple of weeks ago he said he always fulfils his contracts and wanted to stay. Since then we have won both games and he is looking like his old self again. We also have a legend of a manager who I have no doubt that Torres has respect for.
2) He wants to win trophies. I hate to say it but Chelsea will not win the League this season (Man U will). They will not win the Champs league. They aren't in the League Cup. And their is a chance they get knocked out of the FA Cup. So that would be a trophiless season for them this year.
3) Although we are not going to win the League, FA or League cup this season, we are still in the Europa League and regardless of Suarez being cup tied, I think we have a SERIOUS chance of winning it.
So in actual fact, I think the whole thing is a conspiracy. Torres will stay, Aguero will join and so will Charlie Adam.
We will wait until Summer before signing a winger.
Please post this Ed!
And I WOULD LOVE IT. . if this was true!

Liverpool Rumours
Heard a similar story from two different sources but with a slightly different end. The main part of the story was that late yesterday afternoon/ evening Torres was coming out of the offices after being with some of the hierarchy. He was upset - not sad upset like yhe was sad about going, but angry upset. The story then differs.
ENDING ONE is that he offered to stay till the summer if he was paid more and was told that in view of the public disloyalty he had shown and the awkward position he had left the club in this late in the transfer window, that was not an option and he was going, the club no longers wants his services.
ENDING TWO was that he would not be released unless Chelsea met Liverpool's valuation in full. That the club will not negotiate - it is the full valuation or he goes nowhere until the summer when he will be sold to the highest bidder.
But either way he was visibly angry and upset about something
31 Jan 2011 08:31:13
Liverpool Rumours
Hopefully liverpool will not do their usuall and settle for less than expected for Torres. We have a history of not being able to negotiate what our players are actually worth (i.e macherano). Hopefully these new owners will stick to their guns. Either pay up or shut up (£40 Mill and Anelka or no deal).

I read a post on here a week or so ago that suggested that Torres had been putting in a shift and scoring goals not because of the King Kenny effect but to put himself in the shop window. I thought it ludicrous at the time but it seems spot on now. If the little h**ker had applied himself when he came back from yet another injury at the beginning of the season, we could have been challenging for a top four spot now. Anyway I've seen many great strikers come and go from Liverpool in the 30 odd years I've been going to the game and we'll just have to go out there and unearth the next diamond. Remember, Torres became world class at Liverpool, he was a kid with talent beforehand.
Scouser Tommy
Yes I agree ST, he played a blinder against CHelski very convenient? Wonder how Reina taking the news? Being he commited himself to the cause not so long ago? It'll be very sad ending to FT Liverpool career but life gos on.
Bigger and better things are on the horizon for LFC and possibly FT going to miss out big time if he go's? Remember MIcheal Owen! !

I hope Spurs do sign Aguero! I think they are really punching above their weight & it will only take one bad season for it all to come crashing down. It seems to me that where ever Harry goes he wants major money to spend. I'm still not too sure if Spurs are trying to look like they mean business or they are actually trying to buy Aguero.
Ed, Can you confirm Aguero is actually on £200,000 a week? I can't remember if I read this or I dreamt it! Would seem like a hell of a lot of money to fork out for a club not guaranteed CL football every season. Not for on those wages.
Ps, busy day today! Hope you've got the full squad of Eds on today! :-)! Thanks

Liverpool Rumours
This is all very straight forward common sense, If Torres is sold for 50 million, whatever is not spent from that amount by 11pm tonight is taxed so in a nutshell Liverpool get far less than 50million.
So the deciding factor is unless they can spend the 50m today they won't sell Torres, where if Aguero signs today for 40m with the balance spent on Adam 6-7m tops, and N'Zogbia 9m tops, or Hazard and Turam, then Torres is sold.
Torres needs to realise any player who leaves Liverpool their career goes down, and also he will never witness playing in the most football purist arena as Anfield, with the greatest sight in Football singing YNWA.
I do feel Fernando really loves Liverpool and if only Gillette & Hicks bought 1 quality striker to accompany him up front we would have won the Premiership, and be in a great place now.
Liverpool with a few top players and 8 travellers conducted by Benetiz have beaten all the best teams in Europe and their multi million pound squads, and haven't won the premiership because of depth of squad when our few top players are injured, i.e. The difference between 2nd and 7th.
The new owners are good strategists to overcome LFC future problems Platini has lined up, and have delivered a great striker in Suarez on the first window, which should make Torres delighted to try out the partnership which could really explode and push us up the table big time.
On top of getting Suarez, by getting Adam and Nzobia to steel up the midfield, with Turam and Hazard whizing up and down the flanks is seriously a Premier league winning possibility.
It's like this Fernando, we beat Chelsea already this season with what we have, and obviously with a improved team with Suarez plus more -we can do it again, so god knows who has brainwashed you to join an ageing Chelsea team. . .What kind of dumb ass decision is it to move to a club inferior in every shape and form to Liverpool.
Chelsea billionaire enterprise can't beat Liverpool football purists when it counts in the Champions League, so have to sneek under the radar to brainwash our players to try and weaken our team, which is bang out of order.
Henry should buy Aguero and Ruis to really put Chelsea's old age pensioners in their place, once and for all.
Torres is 26, where any guy that age wouldn't be tempted by a serious improvement in wages, but at the same time saying this, if Torres is doing a Rooney to force Henry to buy now, then i feel ok we get it, but unecessary as Henry is a good man, and wants to do the right thing for a long term plan.
All the teams at the top have to play each other so they will all drop points, and as we can beat anybody of the top 4, there is nothing to stop us from a winning run getting into 4th. This is seriously possible.
Fernando please take note, -Stevie G made the most important decision ever not to sell out and turn down going to Chelsea, then karma rewarding him winning Ol' Big Ears in Istanbul, with his place secured in history as a truly great legend.
Michael Owen didn't stay, missing out big time, living with this awful decision for the rest of his life, where Fernando you will do the same. As Holloway says Its WRONG, It's WRONG, . . WRONGGGGGGGG.
If Torres wins the League at Chelsea deep down it will mean nothing, as there is a huge difference winning the Premiership with Liverpool and winning it with Chelsea, i.e Chelsea's victory parade is down the Kings road in less time than the time of a match, where on the flip side he should look at the LFC homecoming from Istanbul.
I know fans at Chelsea, Arsenal, Man.City, Blackburn, who deep down know their identity has been sold just to win the league, with Man.U soon to be owed by Qatar. .with Liverpool the only top team representing the traditions what we grew up on.
I have been to all of their grounds and i can tell you theses clubs have no identity, no scarfs, no flags, nothing, where the Fans of Liverpool is a different mentality, like a different country.
Liverpool, Celtic and Ireland have huge Tribal followings of fans who are quite happy to travel overseas to just sit outside the stadium, to say that they were there when their LFC family won against all the odds.
Liverpool would rather win the hard way keeping their identity than being owned by dictatorship owners, so Fernando should weigh everything up sensibly, stay with us, try out the partnership with Suarez and if happens and we do get 4th then make the decision to go, but you won't go to Chelsea, because they will never win nothing again with Platini's rules.
Where if it doesn't work out then in the Summer under an organised schedule we have time to find a replacement, where everybody at Liverpool will wish you well with Chelsea or wherever you go, . . .just don't leave under a cloud as we bought Suarez to partner you, and we are kind of curious to see how your partnership will work out. . .

Very sad to see Torres go, very late transfer request makes it worse.
I always thought he was going to go in the summer to Barca for some reason.
I didn't think he would go to another English team
We have lost good players before and we will just move on.
The last time we let our top striker go (rush Juventus ) king kenny brought in
Barnes and Beardsley and with Aldo already there made a great attacking team.
Didn't really miss Rush at all. Still glad he came back but ha
I thought if Torres stayed to the summer (I wouldn't have minded because he wouldn't want to miss out Champion's league for 2 years, he could go abroad and leave in good terms with fans) Suarez would be settled then just add players with the money we get for him.
Well that's my waffle done

Ok, it's dealine day.
As it stands, Nando is still a Liverpool player, by 11 tonight, I hope to be saying the same, however more unlikely it seems. £50 million coming in and several options have been discussed and I have been led to believe that we will put a bid in fir llorente of £25 million and £18 million for Ashley young. Expect an improved offer aswell coming in for Milan jovanovic. I will also be expecting one more signing, a midfielder in the flair ilk. My preference would be arda turan but that seems likely to happen in the summer. If we end up with Charlie adam I won't be pleased. My sources are pretty good aswell ;)

When Luis Suarez signs for Liverpool will he be cup tied for Europa League?
The answer is no, he's not cup tied.
He's played in the Champions League for Ajax, not the Europa League.
UEFA relaxed the rules on this recently, so that now a player can play in the CL and EL in the same season. So Suarez will indeed be able to play for Liverpool in Europe (which is good because it looks like we're losing Torres)
31 Jan 2011 06:00:58
All LFC fans its not 100% certain Nando will leave us in this window , If he stays then we will need to ensure we give him the support for the rest of the season.I know it will be difficult but if we turn on our own players we could shoot ourselves in the foot.

they did drop down but he hasnt played for them in the europa league or he hasnt be registered in the europa league for ajax so he won't be cup tied

He was the life and soul of liverpool but no-one is bigger than the club and i think after he goes tomorow morning (before 12 bells) liverpool will sign young and llorente possibly mertesaker. ps i think glenn is doing a great job at left back. he seems more at ease cutting in to use his right peg to whip it in, however we need reinforcements in that position, ed what is the script with insua?

Ed, ive posted to the site a few times and am on it daily. I live in the States. The NESV bashing needs to stop. They know what they are doing. Selling Torres for 50 million is great business, even if no one else comes tomorrow.(better still if a there are a few new arrivals). Worse case scenario is we miss europe completely next year. I read all the time about us being a big club and players want to come here, which should still be the case.
Focus on the league and the Domestic cups, rebuild the squad and in two seasons have a squad capable of challenging on all fronts.

Liverpool Rumours
Get ready for a sensational day of news coming out of the red half of merseyside.
Firstly Torres will be goin nowhere. If any deal was the slight bit possible Liverpool wouldn't have allowed him to return to Spain for the weekend and Torres himself wouldn't have gone if he thought there was any chance of a move. Secondly if any such deal was on the brink there would be no way that Torres would have trained on Sunday due to any risk of injury. In my honest opinion I don't think Chelsea will spend 50 million, Abhromovic has no trust in Ancelotti and the recent bids for Aguero and Torres seem acts of desperation.
The rumours of Ashley Young joining the reds have been gathering momentum through the night and I am sure that the rumour will get a fair amount of coverage throughout the day. The fact is that Damien Comolli is due to meet Young's representitives first thing Monday morning and if all is good the news of Young having a medical will break at around 3pm.
If either bid is successful the 2nd meeting of the day Damien Comolli will be have is with either Charlie Adams' representitives or Scott Parker's. With Ian Holloways reluctance to sell Adams, I have heard that Liverpool with bid between 7-10 million for Parker.
Still keen on a defender, Daglish has named Stephen Warnock as a target and Jose Enrique has been put forward by Comolli.
If any of the above tranfers happen they could pave the way for the likes of Jovanovic, Poulson and Konchesky to leave. Jovanovic is a target for Wolfsberg whilst Konchesky's only option if Fulham with the chance of a loan move happening.
Personally the capture of Suarez is a sign that NESV want Daglish as manager for the long term. I think the reason for only offering him a temporary roile was out of respect for Roy Hodgson so it looked like a snap decision and not something that had been in the pipeline.
Justice for the 96

I hope Torres is gone before the end of play due to the fact Kenny has got everyone else facing the same way. "A bad apple can spoil the bunch" has never applied more.
Now we have a unity which means teams have to beat us as a team. Not individuals (ie stop Gerrard and Torres). Kenny's way of playing allows us to grow - and we will.
This Torres buisness is sh*te but good can come from it. It may even be the best thing that could happen to us. Suarez will make an impact, and the way he plays will suite Kenny's game far better than Torres. Suarez will give and go. Even in recent games where Torres has looked better, as soon as he gets the ball in the last third all he's done is try and get a shot off. Even when we've torn a back four apart in recent weeks, Torres has refused to play the final pass and went for glory himself. Poor. No matter who you are. He's just one player. With Carra and Stevie out, Kenny has turned us around. Big time charlie's like Cole on 100k a week, Jovanovic 70k, Konchesky 60k, Johnson 100k have been overlooked, or in Johnson's case been played out of position to allow the next generation through, and we have already developed.
It's all about the team now. If we can get who Kenny wants in today, brilliant. If not, brilliant. We are Liverpool. All of us.

Have to say ed, that Guillaume HOARAU chap looks pants if i'm honest! . .really hope we're not in for him!. .that Lacina Traore boy looks a lot better, confident, young, and skillful!. .our seosons a write-off now, so i think we should just be trying to prepare for next one by getting in new young blood and trying out Suso, Pacheco, Jonjo, Amoo, and Raheem Sterling, as well as bedding in new winger (whoever it is) and Charlie Adam, whilst showcasing all of our dead wood to get rid of! . .
. . .Oh!. .and i can't help but think back to when Aguero was saying on that old channel 4 football programme "Goalazzo" that he'd love to come play for Liverpool. . And Rafa bought Mr Dirk Kuyt instead! . .I know you can't read the future, but i knew we made the wrong bet straight away!. I think i would punch Rafa in the face for making that mistake now! . . .

I am wondering if someone at the club is reading these pages and trying to prove me wrong, we only seem to be moving for those I don't want and not for those I do want! Perhaps if I say I really hope we don't sign Llorente, Honda and Sanchez we will sign them? }

{ed's note - the worrying thing for me is that it takes so long for the paperwork to be processed. It can take days before we actually really know what has happened in the window.}
I hear ya mate, but what's the worst case scenario?
We sell Torres for £40 - 50m, we get nobody in except Suarez.
We then just put this season down as yet another write off! We should be used to it by now :(
In the summer with the Torres cash & some extra investment we can do some really good business.
So long as we don't do our usual thing of waiting till the last possible moment. The obvious clear out is necessary too of course.
Commolli was adamant in a recent interview that we'd be looking at pacy forwards & wingers, so we have to assume someone else is coming tomorrow.
We live in hope i guess? !
To be honest, this season has been such a nightmare that it can't end fast enough. The quicker we get 40 points plus the better so we can give the Pacheco' of the squad a run or two. Feel sorry for the lad - never seems to get a chance. But let's all hang on in there for the "golden sky". At least we have Kenny at the helm now so we know 100% effort will go into it.
That's the only good thing to come from this season.
Good night all.

This is potentially the most exciting transfer deadline day ever.
Endless possibilities.
Hopefully Kenny has a couple of top surprises up his sleeve.
If NESV spend a bit tomorrow will all us on here finally cut them some slack?
If they do, i'm predicting they'll be Premier League players as there would be no time to get a foreign player over for medical etc but i'm probably wrong on that too, very unpredictable window this.
I for one think they'll (NESV) do us proud in the summer with some good signings.
Really hope we sign a striker & winger tomorrow though regardless of Torres staying or going!

Who gives a f*** about Torres eh? One boss season and having him meant we had to jib Crouch and all the other strikers as they wernt playing. I defended him madly as I thought he understood us was even one of us in the way that his character is with his book an all that but it all just turned out to be bollocks. I apologise for saying Gerrard had any part in this but I was soaked up in his character I didn't want to believe he is just a whopper. f***ing hell mate you build us up with you an then smash us down in one go. Well mate I tell you what we will have the last laugh you wait an see we did Chelsea in Semis plenty of times before. When their team is goosed where you gonna go? You will be finished after being run into the ground for Drogba an fat Frank. Oh yer he seems to love limelight good luck trying to share it. Would be funny if they ended up 5th eh.

Sorry, first time poster, not sure if this can be classed as banter or a rumour, but here goes. .
I'm from the North East, and normally watch a few Newcastle games with my old man. Whilst Andy Carroll is an excellent player in my opinion, he is an absolute tit. Added on to the fact that he is playing for his boyhood club, and that he is currently injured, there is no way in hell that he will leave.
However, I think that there to be something really unexpected tomorrow. It's worthwhile noting that there has been very little coming from the club, and with the usual pre match press conference coming up, there may be a few suprises in store. Well, hopefully. .
31 Jan 2011 01:50:25
Liverpool Rumours
I would just like to say that I think the comments that Alex Ferguson made about the value of Charlie Adam at the beggining and end of the Blackpool Manure game was a really spiteful thing to do and shows how much of a man he truly is. He has probably cost the club an extra 4-5 million. Alex Ferguson needs to shut his mouth and keep his opinions about Liverpool FC to himself and out of the media. Charlie Adam, 26 is a good player who wants to further his career and live his dream. How dare he!
Either Torres will sign for Chelsea tomorrow for around £50 Million or the talks with Kenny Dalglish were successful and he'll make a public statement and sign a new 4 year deal.
If Torres goes I honestly don't know who will be coming in. But I personally think that it's about time Liverpool sign Eden Hazard of Lille for a fee below £25 Million if possible, or someone young like him. Sergio Aguero, although he has played brilliantly for Athletico Madrid and at International level is far to expensive for Liverpool to take a chance on. Kenny has a chance of rebuilding a team with the funds that the owners will provide in the summer or the Torres transfer money and won't risk wasting our funds on one position, its common sense. It's time liverpool think long term, wait patiently and not to be forced into panic buying. Liverpool will make Europe this season and be in a position to build and trim the squad in the summer to contend for the title next season. I think the most important area that we need to strengthen through training or through bringing someone in would be set plays. We need a target man in a football team. Goals from set plays are extremely needed in the Premiership, especially against the so called lesser teams. Check the statistics.
Charlie Adam will sign for a fee around 9.5 Million
Ashley Young looks likely to move for a fee of around £17 Million and could be signed provided nothing goes wrong by 11pm tomorrow.

Ed I'm really in 2 minds about Carrol.
1: I really don't like him. i think he's a thug and shouldn't be allowed to play at Anfield as an away player never mind wear the red shirt.
2: He could be everything crouch never was, a real menace to defences, whilst being a real threat in the air.
Maybe he could win me over but of all the options to play in front of Suarez. I chose Torres.
If not maybe the thug could work.

{ed's note - in my opinion Llorente is worth at least as much as Torres, more on current form, I have never seen Llorente sulk. . .}
I'll have to take your word, I haven't really had the chance to watch much of anything in Spain this season. Any time I have seen him he has looked dangerous, likely to either get or bring about a goal. How does he compare to the likes of Drogba and Carroll, given that he's absolutely huge and strong?
{Editor Note: Llorente is a different class to Andy Carroll. A.Carroll is just a big bag of dirt and has literally nothing apart from being tall. Llorente has great technical ability and can make things happen on the ground. Andy Carroll will never even be half of Llorente's ability when he's the finished article.}

Out of the teams that could afford him who do u think Torres should sign for ed? (Inter Milan, Madrid, Barca, Chelsea or City)
If I was torres (which I might be :-P) It would be City or Inter.
Barca - Not needed
Madrid - Athletico captain at 18
Chelsea - The team is on the decline
City - New stadium, money, the only type of forward they've not got
Inter - maybe the one to turn their season around(not champs league cup tied)

But Kuyt, Lucas and Egg nog don't win you titles gerrard, carra, torres, pepe do. Apart from Pepe they've not performed.
I really do think our main problem is that when gerrard plays everything has to go through him (I'm not saying he's carp but we're predictable when he plays)

If torres does leave, at least we can trust kenny to get in a replacement who will feel its an honour to wear our colours and play with pride! i don't know about you, but i feel that torres has not played to the standard that we pay him over £100,000 a week to play for us, apart from his efforts in the last two games. his loyalty has left him with blue pound signs on his mind, and he is overlooking the greatness, and achievement he will be throwing away, if he goes to chelski, he will not be remembered as a hero of the kop, he will be remembered as the fool who put money before honour, and the one that walked away from possibly our best chance of regaining the title next season.
i hope you have a change of heart torres, money isn't everything, at chelski you would just be another trophy buy along with the other egos, in a floundering club, but with us you could have become a legend.
you know we would forgive you if you changed your mind, just show us your apology in the way you play for us on the pitch! and don't make the biggest mistake of your career.

I love Fernando Torres, he is an amazing striker and my favorite player. Even though I'd love if he would stay at LFC, if Chelsea are willing to pay 50m, I'd accept. It would be the best decision for the club. We could then use the rest of the money on:
Charlie Adam 8m
Ashley Young 20m
Fernando Llorente 20-25m
Enrique (Newcastle LB) 5-6m
That would be a bit over 50m.
That would make our team look like this:
Reina
Enrique Agger Skrtel Kelly
Adam
Gerrard Meireles
Young Llorente SuarezPRETTY STRONG SIDE! :) Lets hope this happens. If only we would have the 50m without selling Torres :/

Liverpool have agreed a fee with Atletico Madrid for Sergio Aguero. This is the reason why they have rejected Tottenham's bid as the agreement with Liverpool is already in place.
Liverpool started negotiations with them as soon as Torres handing in his transfer request. The fee will be £45m, rising to £50m, hence Liverpool's insistance of £50m for Torres. Atletico and Liverpool have good relations since the Torres/ Luis Garcia transfer 4 years ago.
Blakey.

Sorry but I disagree Ed, Torres is a world class striker and he wants to win trophies. I don't think its just about the money , put yourself in his shoes, wouldn't you want to win trophies? Unfortunately we cannot offer him a chance to win the League, the FA cup and the Champions league this season and probably won't be able to next season.

Well fred if i was in whats his name again if i said i would see my contract out i would ok. im not gonna bad mouthing him but he is never gonna be a legend at liverpool he will be none as that long haired fella who thought he was a redan went to chelski instead. Wont we be all laughing at the end of the season when we finish above chelski.

Hi, got a text message from my journalist friend in Daily Mail:
Hi Marius. I got a text message from a good friend of mine:
Torres and the agent said today Kenny, and Comolli that the club not matched his ambitions, and that he would go.
Torres has not participated in the event with teammates in the past. Distanced himself from teammates.
Torres allegedly said to a journalist friend in February last year that Hicks and Gillett were not the only problem in Liverpool
The owner Torres was meeting in Madrid, which could provide the "quick fixen" he wanted, was Kenny Huang. Therefore dropped him go.
John Terry should have made it clear to Torres that he should come to Chelsea in the Fifa World Player of the Year event in January last year

Hi fellow reds fans! (first post on the site). We're all understandably gutted over the prospect of losing Nando but as others have said the club has seen this before (rushie, owen etc). I for one am hoping that KK will come up with another classic triple signing to rival Aldrige, Beardsley and Barnes and start a new era, it's possible!
Football history is littered with players who leave great clubs (grass is greener / money) only to end up failing to achieve what they set out to do. We do need to push for an immediate replacement as suarez isn't a 'lead the line' type striker. For me central midfield isn't a priority at the moment I'd like the club to push for young, nzogbia and llorente.
Finally, it might be a really difficult day tomorrow but remember 'at the end of the storm. . .

Bit of a git! He's a first class t**t. The overriding concern for me is that Chelsea arn't a million miles fom experiencing similar problems to us. They have an aging team and require a comprehensive overhaul to return it back to a challenging force. Clearly Torres has been briefed that Chelsea intend to invest heavily in an aging squad. Henry's inaugaration included him asking us all to judge NESV on their actions. Well in no doubt after witnessing Commolli scurrying around Europe trying to pick pocket well respected football clubs of their quality, Torres realised what a tin pot outfit Liverpool are becoming and decided on a move to a club who's owners action are a bit more consistent with what is needed in the modern game to compete at the top level.
tin pot? they just spent 22m on suarez, before torres was sold. can hardly be called 'tin pot outfit'. behave yourself

Why are so many convinced that Aguero is a non starter?. Hes known to be a supporter of our great club and is best of friends with maxi.
ecause like suarez aguero is a second support striker not a lead the line striker, if torres leaves aguero is not a suitable replacement, he isn't a figure head in attack, llorente is okay in the air but lacks speed and the class of torres, benzema would be my bet but not until summer

This simply can't be the case. You can't just spread the money gotten from Torres around to a few pretty good players or else all you will ever have is a pretty good team. You need a few great, impact players. Liverpool have one now, Gerrard who is on the wrong side of 30.
Look at Spurs, they already have a few tremendous players in Van Der Vaart, Modric and Bale and obviously are ambitious enough to be bidding on Aguero with a respectable bid of 38 mil. If Spurs are willing to spend that on one player LFC had better be willing to do the same or we should just accept our place as a mid table team.
Maybe Suarez will adjust to the Prem and become a star player, that's not impossible, he has the ability. Even with that though Liverpool prior to the start of next season need to add at least one big time player, maybe even 2 if they seriously want to get back into the top 4.
Spreading the money around for guys like Adam and Horaou is all well and good but its not going to get us above 6th place this year or next. Players like that are not going to vault us above United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea or Spurs. Those teams are really good and you can't surpass really good teams by adding pretty good players.

What will everyone say tomorrow if Torres says.
I for one can see his point it his timing that's w**k. New players, manager, owner.
He's been let down and the only team come asking is Chekski cos they're desperate.
I think he sick of being slated for his performances whilst the 2 golden boys of LFC can do no wrong (hand on heart Carra is past it and has been for 18 months, and Stevie G tries less than Torres). He has played s***e but no worse than any other member of the team.
But the golden boys got Rafa replaced by Woy and got Joke Cole a job.
Rant over but I think we have to question more than just Torres player power.
Or maybe I'm way off the mark ed?

Let's look at his situation he bes way possible, as much as i'd love Torres to stay; Torres is 26, not going to get better, he's at his peak AGE, and if that's his peak age, he hasn't been top quality for Liverpool and if the lad wants to leave, let him, i'd take the £50m and run. But i'd hope we'd have a replacement if we sell him this window.
Now lets look at Suarez, the only reason we haven't signed him yet is because he FA only sign contracts on working days, so expect to see him signed tomorrow morning. Suarez is 24, a top class dribbler, clinical finisher and really likes to beat players, he's a world class player. Liverpool can make him better though, we can make him into one of the best strikers in the world. Now lets say we don't get any world class replacemens his window in replacement of torres, at least we have the 50m+whatever funding John and Tom give us and we can build the squad with that, get a good CB, a fast winger and of course, a 30m+ striker, personally i'd rather have that then Torres. I'm pretty sure though, we'd have a replacement striker lined up if we were to sell torres. If chelsea don't give the £50m and we don't get a replacement, torres will stay til summer,

*Torres to go for 50mil?
*Torres verbally abused by Gerrard and carragher?
*Torres to re-unite with future boss Rafael Benitez?
*He has been promised big name signings in which have not happened?
*He is doing a Rooney/ Tevez to gain a pay rise?
*He is to be part of Chelsea's new rikeforce of him and Aguero?
*He is making Chelsea too intentional on him making sure they won't bother signing anyone else and dropping out lat minute?
*He is doing a re act of what gerrard did a few years back?

Paul
- - - - - -
These Spuds are getting too big for their boots. They think they can go up to flipping Messi and he'll join a team that's just been thrashed 4-0 by Fulham - with nearly the entire first team present. They're not a big team in Europe, if at all; if a continental striker has the choice between Liverpool and the Spuds, 9/ 10 that striker chooses Liverpool - as shown in the Suarez case.
They need to be brought down a few notches. Starting hopefully with us finishing above them - which is a real possibility provided we have two quality strikers by the end of tomorrow.

With torres going, as one of the eds suggested, torres won't be replaced like for like, as much as id like aguero, it may not happen.
Suarez looks amazing. lets hope he can become what torres used to be, because of late, torres is a has been. i won't miss him. (just hope he doesn't do well at chelsea, thatll be a kick in the boll*cks)
but going by recent positive signs of players we've looked at, we could end up with a couple of new wingers that can double up as strikers/ attackers i.e
A.Young
K.Honda
we may even end up with our alonso replacement in C.Adam.

These rumors about 42 million and Anelka are garbage. Anelka will never move back to Liverpool and a lower position in the table with no champions league football. He is a bigger baby than Torres is now proving to be. I stick by my position yesterday that Liverpool will not sell to a direct competitor in the top four even for 50 million. They know that if he still wants to leave in the summer then they can get even more for him and pick the best package. To smooth things over in the short term they can get Torres to say that he wants to see if things improve under Kenny and these owners.
As for tomorrow, expect the bid for Adam in the 9-11 million mark to go through and one more signing. This will be a player with pace that can play wing. Think of names we have not heard about in a while like Gervinho or Elia. Liverpool will pull off another Mereiles type move at the end.

1. People, I say stop with the hate comments towards Torres until he actually leaves, whether that be 11 PM or in the summer.
2. I don't care if you say "no player is bigger than LFC" or "rush, owen, fowler moved on. so can we". Torres has made a huge impact in the club, and it will take a while for the club to recover from his departure. He will still be a club legend, even if he will leave like a "Judas".
3. I understand why Torres wants to leave. We haven't won anything, we are not in the Top 4. At the same time, there is reason to stay. The King is back, our performances have been improving. Luis Suarez arrived, and, in all likelihood, Charlie Adam and Ashley Young may be arriving. There is actually hope.
4. I want him to stay, but I would have no problem with his departure IF it was in the start of the transfer window. By then, we would have plenty of time to find a replacement and add to our squad, as the money procured from his transfer would be immense. But, he decided to transfer in the END of the window, with not enough time to find the best replacements.
5. I would liked to have the likes of Aguero, Llorente or Hulk, but those look unlikely. Hoarau looks decent, but I would want someone better. Is it too late to get Honda or Lisandro?
6. The problem we've had in the past was spend wrong. (i.e. Keane, Aquilani, Dossena). With the extra money available, we need to find players that will actually make a difference. Charlie Adam and Ashley Young look OK. So, if the transfer does happen, that money needs to be spent correctly.
7. SKRTEL NEEDS TO LEAVE! USE THE MONEY TO BUY WORLD CLASS DEFENDERS!

Ahoy there me scouse chums.
There's a bit of head scratchin at Chelsea over the Torres attempt.
Plenty of Chelsea players, (not just the English contingent), are deeply un-impressed by the prospect of supporting two selfish, me, me, me, childish, front-men.
There was a lot of chatter about interest Carlo had in Aguero a week ago, a big surprise to some of the old guard who've seen the squad get ever weaker.
However it now appears both Anelka and SPorridge are on offer, plus cash, if the LFC powers brokers want them.
I assume there's no way a genius like KK would ever accept SPorridge, ( a Carlton Cole without the work-rate. . . ), but it's what I've heard from those who know.

I get feeling in my stomach that Torres is going to make a U-Turn. Everyone needs to stop saying "Let him go". Finding a long-term replacement takes time, more than one day, and hopefully kenny has been doing his research!
So yes i get a feeling that Torres will make a U-Turn and will committ his future to Liverpool.
This happend with Gerrard going back remember? Except he didn't hand in a request, and Gerrard still loves the club. So why can't Torres change his mind, we need to get behind Torres to let him no that we love him and don't want him to leave. If he does make a U-Turn then can't we forgive and forget? I mean who wouldn't be tempted by the wages chelsea are offering him.
All's i'll say is i'd rather have Torres than anyother striker in the world. He will be a huge loss and you gives need to admit that, sure there are other strikers, but seriously i'd rather have Torres than Aneleka, Drogba, Aguero, Villa.
Along to rumours, a good guess would be if Torres is to stay we will sign Keisuke Honda, Adam and warnock. Whereas if Torres is to leave, i'm afraid it's gonna be Anelka as part of the swap deal with the other signings i mentioned. Yes, it will gives us more choices if Torres leaves but then again anelka won't be a long-term striker, he's getting old now so we should atleast wait it out until summer and find a perfect replacement for El Nino.

Aug Window
disappointing the targets we were linked to . . all "Coles" Young etc,
IN 1 Cole, Kon, jova etc (mereilles being the exception and possibly some youngsters still not really tried)
OUT Masch and Benny.
January Window
Babel out then no deals until Torres is linked with an exit and suarez bid doubles.
Again 2 remaining Coles and Young mentioned on your pages again.
Despite a change in ownership the intent and ambition look very similar.
Up until the suarez bid was raised you can imagine how Torres felt . . frustrated as a lot of us.

Forget about Aguero or any one else Liverpool will close the cheque book until the summer, NESV and Comolli and Dalglish have/ had targets but inflated prices and reluctancy from clubs to sell proved difficult and will not panic buy.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I don't understand this inflated price theme, its a nonsense. The market is what it is. The aspirations of a club determine a players 'worth' to them. Market value is deemed to be the price agreed between a willing buyer and willing seller at an arms length transaction. We've seen 3 proven strikers sold for £23 mill plus and hence the market value for a proven strikers seems to have found its mark at that level. Charlie Adam at £10 mill seems reasonable, given the £13 mill paid fot Merieles 6 months ago. Wingers at £15 mill plus doesn't seem out of the ordinary when you consider the sort of money Utd paid for Valencia and City paid for Adam Johnson. Its no good NESV playing the 'inflated price' chestnut when they don't get away with 'pick pocketing'. The market price is clear for all to see and the aspirational 'worth' is even m ore evident from the owners of Chelsea and Spurs.

If Torres does leave us tomorrow, which is looking more and more likely, do not be surprised to see liverpool to put a major bid in for Aguero.
He will be our main target if Torres goes. I reckon we will bid £40million -£46million.
We will also try to squeeze the budget to get Adam and Young.
We will try and place a final bid of £10million for Adam and we will put in a £15million for Young if any are rejected they will be our main targets for the summer!

Thanks for the reply Ed! Yes the last couple of days have been really tense, but it's just 24 hours too go! Hopefully we'll be up for a nice little surprise tomorrow! Let Torres go, no player is bigger than our club! Hourao I remember a couple of seasons ago was touted as the next big thing in football! Maybe he hasn't blossomed yet, hopefully he'll do that if comes here! Ed do you actually think that we're close signing young? I know one of the eds doesn't rate him highly, but I think he would be a boost too the squad! Toivonen would be great, I live in Sweden but me dad's from Liverpool and I rate toivonen highly! Great player! Shame he rejected us! Glad too hear that Suarez is over the moon signing for us! Cracking little player!
30 Jan 2011 23:19:55
{ed's note - Young and Adam look nailed on. Hoarau looks likely and I have yet to give up hope of Honda, but it does look unlikely. There are other moves afoot, but I can't find out who else we have moved for other than Toivonen.}
***************************************
Ed, how do you know the above?
Is it inside info or just reading between the lines?
Wouldn't mind Young, don't think we need Adam at all. Not good enough at all. Can't believe we're in for him. Hoarau i wouldn't fancy either (would nearly prefer Cole - yuk). We should move heaven & earth for Llorente, Turan & Honda (probably) if Torres the rat goes.
So ed? What makes you think the above?

Hi ed, tense few days! At least all will be cleared up tomorrow! Fisrstly do you know what time the transfer window closes? Also why do you think that the club are willing to let him go to one of our rivals for an average price? Cheers Banjo boy {ed's note - 11pm. Because no one else is willing to match the price and he has his wallet set on a move to Chelsea.}
Sorry but I disagree Ed, Torres is a world class striker and he wants to win trophies. I don't think its just about the money , put yourself in his shoes, wouldn't you want to win trophies? Unfortunately we cannot offer him a chance to win the League, the FA cup and the Champions league this season and probably won't be able to next season.
FRED
{Editor Note: Little over a week before his transfer request he was praising Dalglish, saying he loved Liverpool, saying he loved the city and telling team-mates we were on the up. Funnily he changes his mind all of a sudden and then Chelsea make a bid. It's clear they waved cash in his face.}

Lets face it, we've had Torres for 3 and a half years and for the first 18 months he was in and out with injuries and for the last 18 months he's been walking around the pitch with a face like a smacked backside. Its no big loss, Suarez could becom the next big thing and we can strengthen other areas of the team given that clearly the owners arn't injecting any of their own money.
30 Jan 2011 23:10:30
Ed's, you guys seem convinced Torres is leaving for his wallet's sake, but not to much banter about unfulfilled promises from past and current owners.
Personally, if I was Nando, I would have already handed in my transfer request when the signed Konchesky.
I think he has stayed whilst unhappy with the clubs owners and ambition for ages because he loves the club itself and fans. If it was for money, he could get more from LFC easily (sure it was prob offered now to him). He wants to win trophies, which we won't have for a while here at LFC.
Please post - most of my 'cautious' about NESV seem to not make it.
30 Jan 2011 23:09:31
Just heard them on about Aguero's buy out clause on SSN. Apparently it's £38.5m but you have to pay all the taxes etc on top of that which pushes it up to nearly £60m which is why all the clubs have backed off. Same as the other Spanish strikers buy out clauses.
Dev
30 Jan 2011 23:09:21
Aguero is apparently on 200k a week.
Liverpool fan or not - he will not take a 40% wage cut to come to us unfortunately. Torres is on 120k or something like that a week so can't see us going higher than that.
I'm worried it's going to be Carlton Cole coming in, can see him, Adam & N'Zogbia coming tomorrow now. Hope to god i'm wrong on that!
Don't let the door hit you on the a$$ on the way out Torres.

30 Jan 2011 23:04:38
Liverpool Rumours
Just to clarify, Torres handed in his transfer request before the Suarez deal was announced in assosiated media and the players are kept in the dark about transfers.
Torres believed that having signed no players by the 28 January was a sign of the new owners following in the footsteps of H&G, which is why he handed in the transfer request.
I fully expect Fernando Torres to be Liverpool's number 9 for the next few years. Also expect contract talks over a new contract to happen over the summer but with a clause that allows him to leave if Liverpool fail to get into the top 4.
The talks at Melwood today discussed his reason behind the transfer request, he wants assurances on who will be manager next season and expressed his concern that it SHOULD BE KENNY DALGLISH and what transfer targets were being persued and that the money is there to sign them (Even Steven Gerrard isn't aware of the targets).
So no need to worry trust me on this one please.

I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IN EVERY TRANSFER WINDOW WE LOOSE ONE OF OUR BEST PLAYERS WITH JUSY DAYS TO GO AND NO TIME TO GET IN A REPLACEMENT IT HAPPENED WITH ALONSO, MASCH AND NOW TORRES
WHAT IS GOING ON! !
******************************************************************************
Yes, you do have to wonder don't you!
Assuming Torres leaves, and it looks as if he will (absolutely gutted) then irrespective of what has been said by Torres in the past, no Liverpool supporter can argue that a lack of a true strike partner hasn't helped in convincing him to stay, factor in that he has seen World class players leave and in truth not been replaced, yet every transfer window he is told - stay with us, things will improve, money will be invested, etc, etc, but in truth, things have only spiralled downwards.
If we the fans are frustrated, then I can fully understand his frustration.
As for our new owners, and indeed Torres, I can only think that they have been ill advised re this transfer window; they stated, or words to this effect that - "you can't simply throw money at the problem", well in Baseball maybe not, however in Football you certainly can, and given our situation, they needed too.
We all knew before the season started that we were four to six high calibre players short with respect to a true challenge, and whilst the new owners couldn't do anything immediately, however they should have been advised to invest heavily and without haste this window irrespective of inflated prices, if for no other reason as to avoid Torres (and possibly others) leaving - surely their advisors were fully aware of the prior list of broken promises re investment and that the players (or certain players) simply wouldn't tollerate it anymore.
I'm sure Torres' mindset would have more positive if players had arrived in the first or second week of this window, but no, what does he see - Ryan Babel sold, a fee for Jovanovic agreed, and Konchesky trying to be offloaded back to Fulham . . yeah real positive signs!
Finally, why have we pulically said that Torres can go for £50 Million, stuff the Russian, he's got Billions, if he really wants Torres then keep quiet and let him make the offer off his own back, ask for £60 Million and we might get £55 Million . . you can always come down but not up.
I love LFC but I just think we have become quite incompetent when it comes to transfers and dealings, irrespective of who is in charge.

If the Torres deal does happen and we get the £45-50m, i have heard a rumour that Pato may be available. My only worry is the amount of times he has had hamstring problems, his goalscoring ability is not in question.
Could he play with Saurez? what are your thoughts on the guy and his availabilty and cost, ed?
{Editor Note: I don't think he's the type of striker we would need, but I don't think we could get him. AC Milan quoted Chelsea £60m two years ago for him.}
30 Jan 2011 23:00:54
I reckon because the owners didn't move fast enough in the tranfer window, torres finally figured we will not catch up with the top 5 in the next year or so and wants out. we need strengthening in many areas and haven't sorted it suarez apart. we have also lost babel so again we may be even weaker after this window. ed do you know if we are in contact with any payers if we don't have a good day tomorrow it doesn;t look good we are that far from challenging. please tell me we are in for someone apart from adams
30 Jan 2011 22:59:53

Sorry to post again so soon after my original post, but I've seen another rumour that has caught my eye. It seems that (according to the rumour) Spurs have put bids in for Negredo, Rossi and Llorente. A bid for Aguero has been rumoured. I presume the additional bids were in case of other offers being rejected. As it were, it seems the bids have all been rejected. Interesting move by Spurs, perhaps prompt a bid on our part. (Aguero my personal preference.) Another rumour is that Torres earlier left the meeting with Kenny in tears. Again, I'm not sure about the validity of these rumours, but thought I'd post to see what others think.

Let's all never mention Torres' name in the same breath as Dalglish ever again folks.
The difference is this (amongst others):
We are a club under performing, a man called Kenny comes along & offers his unrivaled experience & skills to try to return us to where we should be. The other man (mouse) called Fernando runs out the door all for money mainly, away from adoring, unrivalled (worldwide) fans who stuck with him while he sulked, moaned, was injured over & over again on international duty, played indifferently etc.
I could go on & on but don't need to.
Long story short is Kenny is 50 million times the better man. Torres is a disgrace, will fit in well with Terry, Drogba & the like!
What would Chelsea offer for someone like Dalglish?
He is what i call priceless.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I disagree Ed, surely he's paid handsomely enough by Liverpool. I think the intent of the owners shines through. We all expected a reasonable overhaul this transfer window to ensure Europa league, let alone aspiring for champions league. That hasn't been forthcoming and Commollis nonsense has only served to tag us as an emerging laughing stock. Torres has realised that the club isn't moving forward and has decided to go to a club where the owners intent/ ACTIONS suggest he may need the services of a cabinet maker to hold a bit of silverware.
{Editor Note: Nonsense what you've wrote above. You clearly know nothing about both situations.}

Editor, do you think a Torres/ Drogba partnership would work out? I have my doubts to be honest. I see two players with not very good attitudes. One is injury prone and sulks when things aren't going well and the other dives and behaves like a 12 year old when his team loses.

I posted this earlier but I am not sure it made it through because of the server crash! What kind of reception will Torres receive if he plays against us next week? A dignified silence or a lot of abuse?
30 Jan 2011 22:51:59

I think when we recieve a £50m bid, we will start negotiating not accepting. We've rejected bids out of hand so far - so we should not accept the first reasonable offer. We should not accept it installments either - Benfica called off negotiations with them regarding Chelsea's behaviour in negotiations.
We should not get bullied in these negotiations, Roman has some £10bn in the bank, he can afford to pay a massive fee, we should get one!

Just a thought or maybe a clever conspiracy theory,
could all this nando stuff been generated in house,
i mean by this, that the board will be happy to have all the media attention on nando's transfer and therefore not making a fuss of our real targets, i.e young, adam, etc etc. therefore we can go about our buys quietly and get them at decent prices without others finding out and trying to hijack them?
While all along happy to play along with the torres stuff, knowing this was a strategy the club and player were happy to playout in public, and was never going to happen,
just a thought?
let me know if you think it is a slight possibility

we ve been lacking a top class midfielder since xabi left, we only have lucas or poulsen to play ehind gerrard and meireles in the four three three system preferred by kenny so far, we have a right back playing at left back and an albeit very capable youngster at right back, we still have no width or pace out wide, we still have kuyt toiling down the right and no natural left footers in attak

JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IN EVERY TRANSFER WINDOW WE LOOSE ONE OF OUR BEST PLAYERS WITH JUSY DAYS TO GO AND NO TIME TO GET IN A REPLACEMENT IT HAPPENED WITH ALONSO, MASCH AND NOW TORRES
Think what it is, in the past we always had other players coming in, i.e. Rush went, in came Barnsey, Aldo and Beardsley, then we done the double. We have struggled over the last few years cos of the cash flow. It should start to happen again now we have a stable owner.

Liverpool Rumours
What happened with website earlier ed, I couldnt access it for ages?
Anyway guys, sorry about the delay with the Suarez announcement, which I was originally told was going to be last night, however it was pushed back with Torres Situation.
Anyway, Torres will be staying as it stands now, and as I told you the other day I've been told he'll sign a new contract, however the news is that if things haven't picked up by summer, and/ or new players aren't brought in he will be allowed to leave.
Stay strong, don't start calling Torres because he isn't going and you will regret it. YNWA.

Obviously if Liverpool do let Torres go & don't sign a striker then we only have Ngog & Jovanovic for Europa cup matches. I just hope we are not backed into a corner of buying a striker that won't cut it in the Premier League & blow money down the drain. If Torres does go to Chelsea then Liverpool should be trying their hardest to get that 4th Champions League spot at Chelsea's expense. The players & the fans should need no more incentive than to rub Torres nose in the mud at the end of the season.
