Can't believe people on here actually think we're gonna sign ridiculously expensive players. The fact is, LFC are financially stable but we still cannot compete with the likes of Chelsea, Man City, Madrid, Barca, Manure, Inter, AC Milan. . etc when it comes to trying to afford players like Benzema, Pastore, Hazard, Coentrao all in one summer. Don't get me wrong I'm more excited about this summer more than any but we have to be realistic people. The owners will splash the cash but not to the extent of £70 -£80 million like some people are expecting.
I personally think they'll spend around £30 - £40 million tops plus whatever funds are generated through player sales. You agree at all Eds'??? {Ed001's Note - I think you are right, we will hopefully be able to shift a fair bit deadwood to increase our spending power.}
03 May 2011 23:21:18
Loving the new-look Rumours page Eds. . . .It's definitely gonna be popular with those who, like me, didn't have a clue how to reply directly to a post.
For example, the bloke earlier who said "Willian of Shakhtar???. . . .I'd rather have William Shatner!" deserves an immediate pat on the back (still giggling like a schoolboy).
This site has become something of an addiction to me. . . . . .even more so since the fools I work for gave us internet access last Summer (I'm not allowed a radio as it's "a distraction" but I can spend 8 hours a day on this site! ). Sometimes I get home and come back on for my "fix". I've booked myself in for addiction therapy to enable me to moderate my habit. . . . .I had a choice of dates and I've asked to be pencilled in for September 1st ! !
Well, it doesn't do to rush these things.

Aquilani: Juve refusing to meet fee set by Liverpool
Sky Bet
Sky Bet are offering everyone a Free £5 Bet
Claim your free bet now
Juventus have revealed they will not sign Alberto Aquilani for the fee wanted by Liverpool.
Aquilani has spent the entire season on loan at Juve after failing to establish himself at Anfield.
The 26-year-old has impressed during his stint with the Italian club keen to make the move a permanent deal.
However, Juve sporting director Giuseppe Marotta insists they will not pay the reported £16million required to land the former Roma star.
"There is a buy-out clause that has to be activated by May 15, " Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.
"We'll try to reach an agreement before the deadline. I can certainly say we will not sign Aquilani for the sum set by Liverpool."
Milan are also thought to be tracking Aquilani and they could move for the playmaker if Juventus fail to strike a deal with Liverpool.
I didn't think we wanted 16 million for him, but if Milan stump it up then I'm happy we have recouped almost all of the money.
it fundamental that we get as much as we can for him as this money will be required for other transfers.
Alternatively we could use Alberto in a player plus cash deal with an Italian club I.e Sanchez Udinese, Krasic Juve, Santon Inter or Pastore Palermo.
With the good season Aqua has had in Italy his reputation should high over there.
03 May 2011 23:16:01
Lot of talk, mostly negative, about owen coming back, however i think if he's free, accepts wages of less than 50k a week and passes a medical, then its maybe a decent squad signing considering our existing strikeforce. This would allow us to ceoncentrate or funds on wingers who we desperately need, just an idea
03 May 2011 23:18:35
Ed would you say these are most likely to come if no one else gets there 1st.
lukaku 20m
sissoko 10m
matuidi 8m
payet 8m
marveaux free
would be 5 great signings.also what sort of prices would you reckon ive put what i think.DORSET RED
{Ed002's Note - Sure - anything can and will happen.}
03 May 2011 23:08:17
Ed who would u rather see win the premiership. . . Man utd or Chelsea and Torres?
I would go for torres and chelsea cos i don't want the mancs to win! {Ed002's Note - Interestingly, if I were a Liverpool fan, which I am not, I think that I would care more about how Liverpool do next season rather more than how either Chelsea or Manchester United do. Liverpool have always been and I am sure will continue to be a great side on their own. I find it rather sad that folks look to trade off how competitor's do. But hell, Pastore, Sanchez and Neymar will make the difference.}
03 May 2011 22:35:28
Ed, payet'. Ino we are interested but WILL we make a bid, love the player, I really hope he comes?
03 May 2011 22:40:35
I think that LFC will continue to do business this summer much in the same way meireles was brought to the club (completely under wraps) and that the most likely players to join are the players that are rarely mentioned by the media such as sissoko
03 May 2011 22:15:16
Did Mascherano roll about as much when he played for us? Or has he just adapted his game to the continent? Or did I always just watch him with my Red tinted specs on?

03 May 2011 22:15:16
Does anyone else think we should buy Premier League proven players to establish ourselves as a force again before spending over the odds on players from abroad who, although have been said to have massive potential (and transfer fees) could prove to be flops like Kezman, Nunez, Bosingwa etc?? In my opinion Gary Cahill, Jose Enrique or Leighton Baines, Ashley Young, Stewart Downing and, if we are extremely lucky, Xabi Alonso and Gareth Bale. Then maybe a young promising striker from abroad who can learn from Carroll and Suarez and does not carry the expectation and pressure of a large fee

03 May 2011 22:11:26
I've heard most of the players being named are way off the mark as LFC are keeping there cards close to there chest.
03 May 2011 22:10:21
I don't see a future for Benzema at Real Madrid. Why else would Mourinho relegate him to the substitutes bench just as he was hitting goal scoring form? Maybe Macca is right about him coming to Liverpool. But he won't be given any assurances though. Nor does he deserve any.

All these people who are saying all these stupid rumours about us buying 6 or 7 players for 10-20 million are all wrong. Kenny is gonna be given 50 mil and any money he gets from transfers off the players he sells.
The rumours I have heard the most about are Sylvian Marveaux, Bojan, Ashley Young, Lavezzi, Barton, Enrique and Iker Muniain (all from BBC sport gossip coloumn). Ed's out of 10 what's the chance of getting these players ?? I don't think we will get all of thesebut I think wewill get Marveaux definatly, but I aren't sure about the rest.
The only thing is kenny isn't gonna give anything away so we can't be sure about who were going to sign. But I do see good things ahead for us! CMON LIVERPOOL YNWA :)
03 May 2011 21:20:24
Although i would prefer barca to see the game through as they would beat man utd in the final. . the ref is very very much in favour of barca and i can now see mourinho's point! {Ed007's Note - I'm trying to get that acroos to Utd fans, they are just cheats}

I would love it if madrid came back and won, everytime there is a tackle all the barca players run around the ref!
03 May 2011 21:13:52
Also the number one target is Lukaku (Liverpool fan)
This the same Romelu Lukaku who is said to be a Chelsea fan ? {Ed001's Note - he is not a Liverpool or Chelsea fan, he denied being either in an interview, he did say his idol was Drogba and that is where the Chelsea fan rumours came from.}

03 May 2011 20:35:58
To blob re marquee signing hulk! its my understanding that spurs have tabled a bid for falcao and hulk for an undisclosed fee and roman pavlyuchenko that has already been accepted by the portugese outfit but due to it being a closed window there are no public details availiable. LFC ins though will be a left back but no decision has been made as to who due to one player being over priced and a second wanting champions league football, charlie adam, forlan, & either n'zogbia of mcgeady (sp) will sign, its also understood a top class centre half will come in.
Reply
What , So you think Spurs would have the moneey to bid for them . They might, But doubtful. Falcao + Hulk would be about = 55million
Reply
Where are ou hearing this from then?
If Spurs sell Bale and Modric to United and the money from that could get Hulk and Falcao

All this talk of mega money transfers of wingers like sanchez etc arent really realistic in my opinion . kk has steadied the ship now and we are playing good football again after the tripe we were playing under roy . what we need now is good young seasoned players to push us forward and back where we belong . it would be a major gamble bringing in £30million plus players from other leagues where they may need time to settle in and its not as easy to settle in to a side that is rebuilding as it is to a good side that is stengthening. my personal opinion is that if we get stuart downing it will be a great signing , he is at the right age , hes quick and goes past players , hes a good crosser and scores goals . hes an intelligent player and has performed consistantly well for all the teams he has played for . he also works hard for the team and doesn't come across as a big time charlie . think he would fit straight in . what do you reckon ED and everyone else {Ed001's Note - I like Downing as a lad, he always comes across very well too, not sure he is top class, but like you I think we just need good wingers right now.}

03 May 2011 20:35:21
I can see Bacelona putting in a bid for Suarez in a few of years time if he keeps progressing as he would fit in nicely on the left there in place of Villa (30 in Dec). Suarez has the same mentality as these boys and potential quality. Come on Kenny blag the £££ out of FSG so you can buy a few more like him and we will become great again.

We need to splash the cash on either Sanchez or Munian and then promote Sterling from the reserves to the first team then we would have unbelievable speed on either wing.

Think we had a lucky escape with c adam by not paying over the odds in january for him.he had a good start to the season when blackpool were going well , but when their backs have been against the wall he looks very average and his real lack of pace and quality has been revealed yes he has a good left foot on him and takes great set pieces but the rest of his game is lacking.but saying that if we do sign him in the summer on the cheap (a couple of million not the 10 million being rumoured) then think he would be at best a squad player but he may give us a different option when we play against the so called lesser teams when we have struggled in the past to break them down .what do you reckon e

Konchesky out. Replacement = cissokho
Soto out. Replacement = Sakho
Poulsen out. Replacement = M'Vila

"03 May 2011 18:36:08
Just a thought, and probably not a popular one, but I am starting to think if Kenny was FSG's man they would have contracted him by now. In a way, if Kenny steps down at the end of the season to make way for villas Boas, Mourinho, whoever, his reputation would be perfect and complete. I believe Kenny can only go one way after rescuing the club this season, because the expectation next year will be so high, unless we do the treble no small amount of LFC "fans" will be disappointed, and in their usual unwanted way will screech it all over t'internet. Appointing a young coach, and allowing the Ascension of Kenny to ambassadorship will merely be the owners fulfilling their mission.
Kenny steps out of the dugout into Sainthood? Don't be too shocked if this happens.
ferd"
I understand your logic, but i highly doubt the owners, who so far have shown they like to stay on the safe side of the fans, would risk such a potential PR catastrophe. What one person sees as a natural, even voluntary, succession into the echelons of ambassadorship thousands of others will likely view as a knife in the back, confirming our current owners as the same as the previous Americans. Unfortunately certain elements of our fanbase need little reason to leap to conspiracy theories. The reason FSG took so long in appointing Dalglish was because they likely knew that once he was in, unless results were truly abysmal, he'd simply have to get the position full time.

Seriously though don't stop coming on the Liverpool page i really do enjoy your opinion its always better to have a neutral one to bring you back down rather than all the wishlists we see (I do agree that alot of us reds can't take the truth i'll probably get called a plastic for saying that too!) You also know your football and i always appreciate a good football knowledge. Keep up the good work mate and don't let peoples words get you down!

Regards to Marquee Signings; 23m on Luis Suarez who we were trying to sign before we sold the spanish guy; that sale just boosted the speed we had to act.
FSG were going to buy Andy Carroll in the summer for a front three of Suarez, Torres and Carroll. However the spanish guy left so we had to act fats and pay probably double what we would have had to a few months later.
Marquee signings that cost 58m between them but people think we need another Marquee signing???
Makes no sense to me.

Yes, I agree with you, but the points you have made only refer to strikers, and that's as far as i can agree with you because our best players are ageing. This obviously is not the same with our strike force, but we definitely need a natural left back (marquee) and 2 wingers ( maybe 1 marquee)

Just a general note . why are we putting carroll and wiltshire in under 21s squad for summer when these 2 will be vital for the euros next year and could be burnt out by then . come on pearcey show some common sense . on rumours note spoke to jimmy case (legend) at birmingham game he reckons downing and young are on their way

@Fowler is god
Hear ya, mate. Didn't mean to shoot ya down or anything.
I just doubt it.
I doubt it even more when £25m/ £30m is being bandied about as the fee.
I mean, didn't Palermo reject something like £44m some weeks back?
I'm sure I heard or read somewhere of such an offer being rejected (City I think were the bidders).
But keep posting, fella, after all this is a rumours' forum, innit?
Anyway, what's yer twitter name, mate?
Will try and follow the dude.

Eds - If you had to guess how many millions gross FSG will spend on transfer fees by the end of the transfer window, what would that figure be? I know its impossible to know but you could all have an educated guess and see which Ed gets closest - my money would be on Ed 002. {Ed005's Note - I would personally say about £50-60m gross - but remember that is only a pure guess.}

Aiden McGeady is very poor, and I would rather have Ashley Young any day, Having watched a few games this season I find it amazing that anyone rates him. He went missing in the Europa league games. Ross
Beg to differ Ross, he has been the only player that has been producing any sort of form and the Club president said that he should be club Cptn. and that he is the only one who is playing for the team, the fans and himself and has the Irish fighting spirit.The teams position is not down to Aiden.Not many players from these shores go to Russia and be a success and how many of our players went missing in the Europa League this season??Quite a few I would say.

Hi ed
I really hope after yesterday's performance puts KK off Enrique, he was woeful to say the least! Not worth the 10m quoted for him by media etc. I really hope we try hard for Baines who in my opinion has been the most consistant LB in the country this season. I understand Moyes coming out and saying he's not for sale, i would expect that from any manager, but we should test not only Evertons resolve but also the player's and tempt him across the park. the rumours are strong on both sides of the park, which means nothing other than we see a player who has done well and may feel to move on i don't know, but he would resolve for me an area that has got worse since Riise left? and only recently got better at times with Agger playin there and recently with Robbo who needs someone to progress him along and Baines can do that don't know what others think
03 May 2011 18:39:37
{Ed005's Note - I think a certain number of players over 21 or not long over 21 can be included.}

Isn't it if the player was under the age of 21 at the start of the tournament? probably completely wrong just heard it somewhere. {Ed005's Note - It possibly is. I'm not sure of the rules myself.}
03 May 2011 18:30:25
Liverpool have a marquee signing in mind, by the name of Hulk. A bid will be made, but the result is still unsure. Other signings will be Payet (9 mill), Marveaux (free), and Baines (14 mill).

Just a thought, and probably not a popular one, but I am starting to think if Kenny was FSG's man they would have contracted him by now. In a way, if Kenny steps down at the end of the season to make way for villas Boas, Mourinho, whoever, his reputation would be perfect and complete. I believe Kenny can only go one way after rescuing the club this season, because the expectation next year will be so high, unless we do the treble no small amount of LFC "fans" will be disappointed, and in their usual unwanted way will screech it all over t'internet. Appointing a young coach, and allowing the Ascension of Kenny to ambassadorship will merely be the owners fulfilling their mission.
Kenny steps out of the dugout into Sainthood? Don't be too shocked if this happens.

Hi, Question for the Ed's;
One of you (sorry can't remember which one it was, sorry) alluded to the fact that Ayala may not be with us next season.
I was under the impression his deal (at the beginning of the season) was expiring this summer; did he sign a new deal?
Also is it that he wants to leave for 1st team opportunities or isn't he seen as good enough for the team?
Thanks
Hoola {Ed002's Note - I can't find any Ed saying Ayala will not be around next season. Ayala's contract with Liverpool expires on June 30, 2012. I expect that he will be looked at in pre-season to see what progress has been made.}
Thanks Ed; I was convinced I read it this morning, just couldn't find it.

Love this site just for the pure optimism of the fans, I know most of these rumours are not going to turn out as true but it is fun to see now that we are being linked in the press to players such as Hulk, Lavezzi, Young etc. when From JAN 2010 to early JAN 2011 we were being linked with players like kenwyne jones and carlton cole and buying players like konchesky and poulsen.
If some of these rumours are true then only good times can be ahead who would of thought at the beginning of Jan would get someone like Suarez in whilst losing someone like Torres just shows now that we are getting the pulling power back for top players and are back on the up.

Regards to Marquee Signings; 23m on Luis Suarez who we were trying to sign before we sold the spanish guy; that sale just boosted the speed we had to act.
FSG were going to buy Andy Carroll in the summer for a front three of Suarez, Torres and Carroll. However the spanish guy left so we had to act fats and pay probably double what we would have had to a few months later.
Marquee signings that cost 58m between them but people think we need another Marquee signing???
Makes no sense to me.

Hi ED. it looks like Aiden McGeady's time in Russia won't be lasting too long as his club Spartak Moscow are battling at bottom of table.
I know Kenny is a big admirer of his and i don't think ther is too much between Aiden and Ashley Young but i believe Aiden would not cost as much. What do you think?
(irishred) {Ed002's Note - I am personally not convinced by the player but he has been linked with Liverpool in the past - so possible.}
Hi Ed.
I'd take Aiden McGeady over Ashley Young any day, I have been watching McGeady a bit since he left Celtic and he has improved an awful lot he would be a great signing, I have seen him first hand at Celtic Park and Lansdowne Rd and think with a little work on his end product which is improving with everygame he could become a world class winger, he already has the skill, pace and work ethic just needs to improve his end product.KK could work wonders with him.

"I find it "unreasonable" that folks should give Ed002 grief for his views.
The man's stated time and again that what he shares is what he knows at that time.
If he rubbishes a rumour claiming that LFC have put in a bid for Sanchez, it's because he knows that's false.
Whether or not you believe him is any bloke's choice.
Regarding Coentrao, he's said that we've not shown/ declared interest in the player, therefore he doesn't see him moving to Anfield.
Of course, that can change. The fact that LFC hasn't declared an interest in the player now doesn't preclude the possibility of them doing so at a later stage.
But we don't whether they will. What we do know is that no interest has been expressed by us in the player. And here we go by what we know, what is the status quo and what's likely to happen based on the evidence before us now.
There's no shred of evidence to suggest that bids will be made for, say, Sanchez, Neymar, and (subsequently) if the player will be keen, but in fact quite the opposite.
As regards news being almost impossible to be leaked nowadays at LFC, I'm sure you're aware that in a deal there are at least two ends.
We may not get anything from LFC's but we sure will from the other.
So no leaks from LFC really means bugger all.
As to how you figured out that the ed "knows nothing" I'll never know.

"I found one mistake made by King Kenny in the past, he got the chance to sign Ryan Giggs & but he never did it. Fergs came & snatched him, see what a player he has gone to become.
I hope Kenny will be not making this type of errors this time in the transfer market.
In hindsight then yeah you would say it was a mistake but at the time we had John Barnes who was arguably the best left sided winger/ midfielder in europe and a young McManaman coming through(daglish gave him his debut in 1991) so it probably was not Dalglish's priority at the time.
Im not just saying this with Kenny tinted glasses on, of course Dalglish is not immune from transfer errors you only have to look at the likes of Nicky Tanner and Jimmy Carter but he also got a lot of good players many of whom are underated for there time at liverpool such as Nigel Spackman and Barry Venison- - - -steeley76"

Hi Ed's i love this site and i think most Ed's have some intelligent remarks but some are also relatively aggressive in the answers they give LOL i just have one question why do some Ed's have the distinct view that no BIG player will join Liverpool i know you say we have no interest in certain players but i don't think you knew about Meireles or suarez before they came to us and both were quite highly rated players i know LFC are keeping everything close to their chest these days so how can you say a definate no to BIG players although i do agree that we would never pay 50+million for pastore or sanchez (which is a shame about sanchez) please post on rumours thanks
03 May 2011 17:23:11
Ed, was that twitter- LFC- Pastore- negotiations poster the real "Fowler Is God"? Find that one hard to believe.
Even more so the rumour.
I know people are entitled to their opinions, but come on now, will ya?
Are people seriously expecting us to waste close to or over £50m of our war chest on one player?
I say waste not because Pastore's a bad player, no. He's class, obviously.
It's just that it's 1) financially unsound and 2) his position isn't a priority area.
Even if it was, there's NO WAY I'd countenance such spending on one player.
It's just ridiculous.
There are far better, more adequate options.
What this team needs is Sissoko and M'Vila and our (bright) future in midfield is secured.
Folks, there are a lot of brilliant players out there available at fairly cheap prices.
This obsession with the Sanchezs and Agueros prevents folks from seeing that.
A few of those players are: Sakho, M'Vila, Sissoko, Adam Johnson and Payet.
For what you'll spend on Pastore/ Aguero, you'd get three of the above lads.
Think about that.

I can't see Manchester spending £20 mil for a position well covered by evra. chelsea still have Cole for a couple of more years, Milan already signed Urby Emmanuelson in January and are favourites to get taiwo, ManCity spent well on Kolarov last summer. Liverpool showed their interest in January and even the player said he is flattered to be linked to us. so I believe that he has a very good chance in joining us as he can play well in two positions that we desperately luck. there are many people who believe that Thomson made that Enrique comment for mind games in the transfer market. what is your opinion editors? and when it comes to quality players being linked with us, many of the editors rule them out. suarez's signing was to be some lesson. can you tell me some good quality players that find liverpool attractive to come? not the average players that have been mentioned in the past like sissoko, Downing, adam etc

There's no doubt dave that Suarez has brought somthing special to our squad mate. But i think it would be unfair on Lucas who has had a great 18 months imo.
Next season Luis will be nominated for PL player of the season. If he keeps doing what he is doing. I can't think of many better footballers than Luis in the PL now, never mind next season.

{Ed002's Note - They are part owners of FSG and FSG have apparently raised money in selling part of the club to the NYT. There is nothing sinister in this. But keep in mind, the money the the individual owners and investors have themselves is entirely irrelevant in terms of the level of investment that will be made. The value of the club has recently be downgraded by DeLoittes and the owners will want the success that adds value to the business for when it is eventually sold. To get that success they need the club to hit the Champions League etc., and no doubt investment will be made to support such goals and objectives.}

@Lee
I find it "unreasonable" that folks should give Ed002 grief for his views.
The man's stated time and again that what he shares is what he knows at that time.
If he rubbishes a rumour claiming that LFC have put in a bid for Sanchez, it's because he knows that's false.
Whether or not you believe him is any bloke's choice.
Regarding Coentrao, he's said that we've not shown/ declared interest in the player, therefore he doesn't see him moving to Anfield.
Of course, that can change. The fact that LFC hasn't declared an interest in the player now doesn't preclude the possibility of them doing so at a later stage.
But we don't whether they will. What we do know is that no interest has been expressed by us in the player. And here we go by what we know, what is the status quo and what's likely to happen based on the evidence before us now.
There's no shred of evidence to suggest that bids will be made for, say, Sanchez, Neymar, and (subsequently) if the player will be keen, but in fact quite the opposite.
As regards news being almost impossible to be leaked nowadays at LFC, I'm sure you're aware that in a deal there are at least two ends.
We may not get anything from LFC's but we sure will from the other.
So no leaks from LFC really means bugger all.
As to how you figured out that the ed "knows nothing" I'll never know.
But I don't need to, cause I fully trust the man.
It's okay that you don't, but to make an assertion you can't prove (not that it can be proved, tho) is rather. . well, "unreasonable".
Ed002, do keep sharing whatever ya know, mate, and don't hesitate to tell it like it is.
You're an authority here in my eyes.
This place's bloody fortunate to have a fella like ya here.
Before I go, just want to ask. When do you expect Commolli to put in bids for Yann, Moussa and Mamadou?
I know it's difficult to say now, but would you say you see these three lads at Anfield next season? Just a feeling or some guess, ya known.

{Ed002's Note - Sorry, it is not worth me sharing anything about Sneijder.}
Probably reading into this wayyy too much but if you're not divulging because of some people's contempt towards you, ignore it. You do a great job in a potentially volatile situation and Ed001 and yourself crack me up on a regular basis. And I'm not JUST saying this in case you know Sneijder is nailed on to join ;)

They do nothing in a "hurry" is because that's excatly what they said they would do when they bought the club. They said they would take their time on all issues i.e Stadium, Player Funding, Selecting a board etc. I wouldn't have it any other way, when our owners take their time on big decisions.

From France:
Payet and Marveaux are both basically done, £8 million for Payet and Marveaux as all of you will know is for free. However, these 2 are not major signings, just cheap, skilful/ fast and young these are the types of players KD and FSG want to have in their squad rather than the likes of Maxi and Poulsen who have no potential for the future and don't offer any competition. These 2 will be announced on 1st of July or possibly even before after the season ends.(just squad additions, not first team signings) All because of Commoli.
This is going to be a long summer for you Reds.

{Ed002's Note - Thats. It is worth noting that The New York Times has a 16.58% stake in the club.}
And are the New York Times wealthy? And would they be backing FSG? Stupid questions but I don't know the answers lol
{Ed002's Note - They are part owners of FSG and FSG have apparently raised money in selling part of the club to the NYT. There is nothing sinister in this. But keep in mind, the money the the individual owners and investors have themselves is entirely irrelevant in terms of the level of investment that will be made. The value of the club has recently be downgraded by DeLoittes and the owners will want the success that adds value to the business for when it is eventually sold. To get that success they need the club to hit the Champions League etc., and no doubt investment will be made to support such goals and objectives.}

Spot on mate it is all about confidence. It's not just Lucas who has progressed under Kenny but it seems the whole squad has. Our squad is very, very weak but i think with some quality additions in the summer. And with Kenny at the helm from the start of next season. Then maybe it won't take as long as some people thought (including me) to start challenging again.

Hey ed's and fellow reds,
I know twitter isn't exactly the best sOurce but I follow a guy on it who tweets Pretty reasonable stuff. He has tweeted about Torres and Suarez and kenny in jan. So to get on to the news he posted today was that Liverpool have opened talks with Palermo over javier pastore. I know ye think it's not happening but this is what he posted. He writes blogs on the Anfield Index I think. He also said we are opening negotiations with real sociedad too and the owners mean real business and are willing to do anything for kenny to put us where we belong, as they have seen what he has done with and average squad. Shoot me or whatever ye want just thought I'd ask what ye thought or any other reds fans. Have you ed heard anything about us opening talks with them in the last 48 hours. He also has posted the young and downing rumour last week over a double deal.
Whats the guys Twitter name?

Are you for real, or just looking to stir things up? I was watching the Norwich v Pompey game yesterday, and the announcers were talking of the financial problems Pompey went through last year, and how those financial problems brought down that club. We could've realistically been heading down that road ourselves, if not for the new owners you now want to hate. Open your eyes to the bigger picture, and stop focusing on one small, insignificant item, which will be resolved in time. The future is bright at our club, and much brighter than any of us ever thought it would be a year ago. . and that is all because of our new owners.

As you have said yourself before everything at LFC is done behind closed doors, and until anything is annouced or leaked by one of the board, manager or DC we are purley speculating so how can you say that we have no interest in Coentrao when we all know the same amount as eachother. . Zero. Yes, some of us have sources but they can and often will be way off the mark. In my personal opinion, I don't think that LFC will sign any of the names being mentioned, I don't think we will make a 'marquee' signing but some young coming through, undiscovered talent.

Everthing will be put on a platter for Carroll next season & I would expect him to be a twenty goal striker if we can get two or three quality wingers in the summer. Suarez has already proven that he creates goal scoring oppurtunities down the center & Spearing, Lucas, Meirles, Gerrard & whoever KK & DC deem fit to buy giving us a host of formidable midfield options. All that is missing is the wide play (crosses). Sakho looks like a viable option as he can provide cover for left fullback & centreback considering the injury problems of Agger & Aurelio. Marveux can also play lb if needed. We should be careful not block our youth players, eg; jack robinson.
Ins: Sakho, Enrique, Downing, Marveaux, Gervinho, Benzema, Young, Payet, Cissokho, Matuidi
(This list consists of player that the Eds or Macca consider reallistic. We won't get them all or we may buy 1 or 2 surprise signings.)

Not that we will play a 4-4-2. This is just to show an option.
Outs; Not sure, I would have had Maxi & Cole among them but recent for m suggest otherwise. (Cole shouldn't be written off just yet. If he doesn't prove he is worthy of wearing the Liverpool jersey after the summer break he can go in january.)

{Ed002's Note - Perhaps it would be better if I provided no more input for Liverpool then.}
Ed002 - that's not what I am saying, I often like your posts, however it was the judgement you made that LFC are not even interested in Coentrao when both you and me have no idea about the clubs transfer targets. I do agree with the poster who you 'shot down' that it would be worthy to spend £20m on a LB as this is a position we have suffered in for a long time, but I would personally spend £3-£5m less and get Ali Cissoko of Lyon he has amazing pace, strength and can actually cross a ball unlike alot of players LFC have previously signed, I'm not getting on your back or giving you abuse I just think it's unreasonable the way you 'shoot down' other peoples opinions.
Thanks

Hi, Question for the Ed's;
One of you (sorry can't remember which one it was, sorry) alluded to the fact that Ayala may not be with us next season.
I was under the impression his deal (at the beginning of the season) was expiring this summer; did he sign a new deal?
Also is it that he wants to leave for 1st team opportunities or isn't he seen as good enough for the team?
Thanks
Hoola {Ed002's Note - I can't find any Ed saying Ayala will not be around next season. Ayala's contract with Liverpool expires on June 30, 2012. I expect that he will be looked at in pre-season to see what progress has been made.}

Ok, been seaching around; talking to a friend who currently works for "The New York Times" I know it is in America but he is part of the sport section and aside from NFL Draft and Lock-outs they don't have much to talk about; also NBA just started but he does a piece on 'Soccer' and he reported about interesting transfer rumours and results; Interestingly he wrote about how an American star is premiership bound for next season and it is to a Club with American owners; the catch is he said it was Donovan leaving for Arsenal, which is also resulting in a mass exodus of Arsenal fringe and unworthy players. Strangely Arshavin was included and it shocked me at first but made sense. Would be a good buy IMO however another interesting revelation about Arsenal was Fabregas's nailed down move to Barca and Samir Nasri is requesting a move away from Arsenal.
Surely these 3 players and fringe players leaving will leave Arsenal struggling for 4th next season; especially if Wenger doesn't spend on a CB, GK and Goal Scorer. (Another interesting point was his article on Wenger leaving this year and taking over for Mourinho; personally I believe it is lazy journalism but he is usually a very good sports reporter.)
(Just thought I would share some light on our Top 4 Hopes for next season)
The Next ;) (E-Mail and Name left for the first time eds :O) {Ed001's Note - ok mate cheers, I will make sure we keep an eye out for it in future and not post anything with your sign off name unless it has that email addy.}
so they don't have much to talk about? are you sure? and the NBA has just started? try again, the NBA is in the playoffs, the NHL is in the playoffs, MLS season has started, MLB is in the early stages, and the one thing you did get right is the draft and lock out, so i would say the new york times would be quite busy and have a fair bit to talk about.

Hi eds just listening to talk sport and the german correspondent seems very sure that the dortmund player nuri sahin is off to madrid . Now could you tell me if he is a midfielder and if so you would think that that would push certain players down the pecking order . So all this talk about alonso coming back might not be wide of the mark and I was wondering if the eds and the fantastic posters on this sight which in my opinion is by far the best on the tinterwebnet think it could happen and the possibility of this happen . The greedyman {Ed002's Note - He is a midfield player but young and one for the squad.}
03 May 2011 14:33:14
Hi, Question for the Ed's;
One of you (sorry can't remember which one it was, sorry) alluded to the fact that Ayala may not be with us next season.
I was under the impression his deal (at the beginning of the season) was expiring this summer; did he sign a new deal?
Also is it that he wants to leave for 1st team opportunities or isn't he seen as good enough for the team?
Thanks
Hoola {Ed002's Note - I can't find any Ed saying Ayala will not be around next season. Ayala's contract with Liverpool expires on June 30, 2012. I expect that he will be looked at in pre-season to see what progress has been made.}
03 May 2011 14:21:01
I found one mistake made by King Kenny in the past, he got the chance to sign Ryan Giggs & but he never did it. Fergs came & snatched him, see what a player he has gone to become.
I hope Kenny will be not making this type of errors this time in the transfer market.
In hindsight then yeah you would say it was a mistake but at the time we had John Barnes who was arguably the best left sided winger/ midfielder in europe and a young McManaman coming through(daglish gave him his debut in 1991) so it probably was not Dalglish's priority at the time.
Im not just saying this with Kenny tinted glasses on, of course Dalglish is not immune from transfer errors you only have to look at the likes of Nicky Tanner and Jimmy Carter but he also got a lot of good players many of whom are underated for there time at liverpool such as Nigel Spackman and Barry Venison- - - -steeley76

Just wondering on the possibilities of Lee (Bolton), Javi Martinez (Bilbao?), Elia (Hamburg), Dann (Birmingham). These players are good and relatively young. However the players which i'd most like to join would be Cavani (Napoli) and Krasic (Juve), krasic would be the perfect winger for us and has been a revelation for Juve, whereas Cavani scores goals for fun.
03 May 2011 14:14:12
If I was KK, I would be keeping a close eye on Scott Parker if west ham go down, also would like to see Alonso back could see xabi and Suarez linking up quite well.
Ed heard a rumour of mourhino coming to Anfield any legs in that? {Ed002's Note - Nope.}
03 May 2011 14:01:53
Suarez s enthusiasm for Europa League action is admirable; he is obviously hungry for success. Carra is also hungry for success as next year will (if we get 5th) probably be his penultimate last chance of European silverware. Next year Europe will be key to the development, progression and integration of the youngsters. I can envisage Flanagan, Robinson, Spearing, Kelly being involved in most early games and also possibly Coady, Sterling, Silva and Suso being given late cameos. It will also give Kenny a chance to give the new successor to Carragher (whoever that may be) a good run of competitive games. The argument about Europa League taking focus off the Premier League is not fully justified as in my opinion it is obvious our squad will be reshaped, improved and increased during the coming window. There will be plenty of players to choose from of a high quality and I m sure Kenny will always select the best players for the EPL games until the last 16 anyway.
03 May 2011 14:03:40
I can't see this "Marquee" signing being anything other than an english player. . A.Johnson, Milner or Lennon perhaps?

If it is true that Liverpool are going to make a ''marquee'' signing, could we be interested in Tevez. The reported 30M to Inter is a bargain.

Liverpool to wait another year to get green light for £200m Anfield revamp - report
Liverpool will have to wait for another year before being given the green light for the long-awaited £200m redevelopment of Anfield.
The earliest the Reds can reportedly look to complete the works at their ground will be the start of the 2014-15 season given that the refurbishment of the stadium will take at least two years.
According to News of the World, Fenway Sports Group are also evaluating the possibility of increasing the stadium s capacity from 45,000 to 65,000 after owner John W. Henry announced in November that his final decisions on the developments will be made "within a year."
The owners have reportedly been distancing themselves from two existing approved plans.
The one proposed by AFL architects is said to be too old while previous owner Tom Hicks plan is too expensive a blueprint for the redevelopment.
Have you heard anything more about the stadium situation Ed? thanks
RedDan {Ed002's Note - No and nothing will happen over night. Once a planning application is made it will be in the public domain for consultation purposes - so we will all know what is planned.}

they should sign up kenny Daligsh on a 5 years deal now. Quick. Why are they wasting time? HE IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THAT CLUB

We need foundations for the future {Ed001's Note - you need to calm down and grow up a little. How can you hate the owners that rescued the club from a spiral into destruction? Just relax and be glad Kenny is in charge and let them sort out the details of his contract in their own time. There is no rush, there are more important things to worry about right now than a contract for a man who has no intention of going elsewhere.}
Have to agree with Ed. How can you hate the new owners. When they first bought the club they stated that all business would be done behind close doors and nothing would be leaked to the press until contracts were signed. So how do you know there isn't any kind of agreement with Kenny and Steve Clarke. I am happy that they club is being run in a professional manner again and as the Ed stated KK has no desire to go anywhere else. There is a feel good factor all around the club and I don't understand why you can't see this. I wouldn't be surprised if the managerial situation was cleared up after the last home game against spurs when we will have hopefully clinched 5 th place

Why do Celtic and Borrussia Dortmund also sing You'll Never Walk alone?
Loads of clubs sing it across the globe; was it hard for you to Google why they do, here we go;
(Wiki)
"The song is also sung at football clubs around the world, where it is performed by a massed chorus of supporters on matchday; this tradition began at Liverpool Football Club in the early 1960s and later spread to several other clubs."
"The song was later adopted by Scottish team Celtic F.C., Dutch teams Feyenoord and FC Twente, Germany's Borussia Dortmund, 1.FC Kaiserslautern, FC St Pauli and Japan's F.C. Tokyo"
Fact of The Day: "The Pink Floyd song "Fearless", from their 1971 album Meddle, includes a recording of the Liverpool Kop singing "You'll Never Walk Alone". The recording is repeated many times during the song and appears solely as a conclusion at the end of the track"
Hope I helped ;)

A lot is being made about Xabi Alonso not being wanted by Mourinho at Real Madrid any more-poor Xabi his luck has not been that great recntly firstly with Benitez and now this. how widespread are the murmurs and do they have any truth -?ED can you enlighten us? {Ed001's Note - him and Jose are not overly friendly, but Jose is highly unlikely to be there next season, barring a miracle tonight, and he does not choose the transfers anyway. This is more to do with age and shirt selling ability, Sahin is younger, cheaper and they hope will shift more shirts. But his leaving is not decided yet as far as I can find out, it might well end up being him that stays while Gago and Diarra go.}
03 May 2011 12:46:33
Dani Pacheco was not in the starting lineup for Norwich last night, I think that shows where Dani is in terms of his development. Maybe if he went on loan to Norwich again next season, get more Premiership experience than he would with Liverpool and prove himself, than maybe he will eventually get his chance.
Before Jay Spearing went on loan to Leicester, i thought the Championship was his level, but in what I saw of him in that league he showed he want better than that, and has continued to develop this season under Kenny.
I truly believe that a year of 1st team football is what Dani needs to get back on track to becoming a Liverpool player in the future, whether at a Premiership club or Championship club.

The real Fernando Torres i.e. from 2007/ 2008 season would be perfect.
03 May 2011 12:49:22
Had to check and according to the FA site the transfer window opens for domestic transfers as soon as the last league game is played - presume we get Young straight after the final whistle! The International window will open on 9 June. So not long for all this guessing to go on. The window remains open until 31 August. Let's hope we don't have another last minute panic like in January, would hope everything sorted by mid June at the latest.
. . . . .
I can't see us leaving it late this time , were after young players so id have thought we would move quick seeing as its the under 21s tournament this summer.
(If are targets are in it of course).
Maybe if 1 or 2 impress during the tournament there maybe a couple of late signings.
One things for sure its going to be a cracking summer and leave us all optimistic for the start if the season , unlike the last couple of summers.

I know that but Wilson is still young, am sure he will improve his game in the future!
OH! Ed come on no need of spending 12-15m on another CB, no matter whether he can play @ LB or not. We have, Aurelio (provided he didn't leave this summer) Johnson, Kelly, Agger and young Robinson who can operate @ LB. NO to SahKo, Yes only if Agger leaves.
By the way do you think that Aurelio will leave this summer? {Ed001's Note - it really doesn't matter whether Aurelio is here or not to be honest, he only plays twice a season. It is such a shame, he is a quality player, loved by his team mates, but he just can't avoid injuries.}
03 May 2011 12:29:52
Saw someone post of Tevez as a potential marquee signing, as good a player as he is, we don't need him when we have Suarez - who next season having had 6 months to adjust will be deadly! If we're bringing in new strikers, they all need to offer something different - In Suarez we have an all action player who is completely unpredictable and capable of anything (our "Tevez" (quote J.Redknapp) although i would prefer it to be our "Messi") , Andy Carroll the battering ram target man, Dirk Kuyt is the work-horse poacher, I think we need a live-wire striker full of pace and movement, working on the shoulder of the defence and always looking to run in behind (a la the Mexican at Scum)

As Sahko is not an attacking fullback i see no reason why we have to buy Sahko unless we sell Agger ! We have Danny Wilson who can also operate @ LB.

Hi ed, plz answer my questions!
(1) How do you rate Williain of Shahktar ? Are we interested in him? Any idea how much he will cost?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool are interested and the player wants Barcelona. He will go for about £12-£15M.}
Do you think he will be better than these rumoured wingers linked with us ( Young, Lee, Dzudscak, Perotti, Mervaux, Nzogbia, Jarvis) ?
{Ed002's Note - Possibly some.}
(2) You are saying Sakho can play @ left-back, if so how is his attacking part of the game? Can he cross the ball well? Is he like Ivanovic ( Ivanovic play's @ CB but think he plays much better @ RB and is excellent in going forward w.t.r to a CB)?
{Ed002's Note - If Sakho is bought it will be as a CB who can play at LB - not as an attacking LB.}
Yours sincerely

A slightly different question for the eds here. Has there been any information regarding the numerous players we have out on loan and if Kenny is looking at bringing some back and in and around the first team? It would be good to see the some players come through and be regular squad players, therefore adding some credance to the loan system, or the players when told they are going out on loan may infer that their time at the club is at an end. Do we know how Mavinga is doing at PSG? I know he is highly rated and if he has had a good season then again it adds weight to us not requiring an expensive left back, the likes of him, robinson, aurelio if still there could cover, as could wilson but also we could get someone like warnock in as experienced cover who would run through brick walls for the club and could play when the younger players need a break. The likes of Ayala, Amoo, Eccleston and definately Pacheco should be given a fair chance during pre season to impress as all will have benefited from playing regularly. Also, has Darby shown any progress as again, another player who would happily be a squad player for Liverpool and could potentially free up resources to be spent in more pressing areas such as the wing. I appreciate the likes of Insua and Konchesky are likely to leave but many others on loan should be considered or what's the point, other than reducing the wage bill which for many of the young players will be relatively low anyway? I presume each player is monitored through the season for progress during their loan, but a full pre season could mean some of these players won't be ruled out.
{Ed002's Note - I don't know of anything firm at all but the club will have the players watched regularly and have constant updates. Some players are not out on loan to get experience but to get in the shop window. It seems to me that Pacheco's days are over at Liverpool, and probably Amoo too.}
Mavinga has had 2 substitute appearances for Genk in his loan spell, nowhere near what we were expecting. Ayala has played every game for Derby since he has been on loan there, whilst Eccleston has impressed the Charlton fans if not the management for some reason. Pacheco I would love to see back at the club, but ah well. .
Now, concerning the youngsters getting the full season. Should not be allowed to happen. They can be used as contingencies should the need arise but Flanagan and Robinson should not be the front line pairing (Kelly may be up to it at this point, he may not. We shall see next season). This is what happened to Insua last year - a young player makes mistakes, and certain groups of fans get on his back. This drives his confidence down, causing him to make more mistakes which puts the fans on his back even more, driving his confidence lower so he makes more mistakes etc. etc. etc. Vicious circle. We need a top quality front line LB. If we were to buy Aurelio a new leg this would be perfect.

I think he is a fantastic talent. Why would we let him go?? Is there any reason or just your opinion?

Ed, what 3 youngsters are you most excited about for the future, personally id think sterling coady and pacheco {Ed001's Note - Coady, Sterling and Wisdom myself.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sterling, Coady and Suso for me. If Suso can bulk up a little he looks like a genuine star. He reminds me ofa young Michael Laudrup. In the mid 80's he was top quality.
Three or four good signings and the Reds can make a genuine challenge for the Prem next year. I know the other top sides will invest (maybe even Arsenal) but Liverpool have King Kenny. Give the guy his contract for goodness sake. His imapct on this team has been phenomenal

Hi ed, plz answer my questions!
(1) How do you rate Williain of Shahktar ? Are we interested in him? Any idea how much he will cost?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool are interested and the player wants Barcelona. He will go for about £12-£15M.}
Do you think he will be better than these rumoured wingers linked with us ( Young, Lee, Dzudscak, Perotti, Mervaux, Nzogbia, Jarvis) ?
{Ed002's Note - Possibly some.}
(2) You are saying Sakho can play @ left-back, if so how is his attacking part of the game? Can he cross the ball well? Is he like Ivanovic ( Ivanovic play's @ CB but think he plays much better @ RB and is excellent in going forward w.t.r to a CB)?
{Ed002's Note - If Sakho is bought it will be as a CB who can play at LB - not as an attacking LB.}
Yours sincerely
Mr.Kopguy

If it is true that Liverpool are going to make a ''marquee'' signing, could we be interested in Tevez. The reported 30M to Inter is a bargain.

Why bother he'l just say he dosent want to play in England before the end of the seaseon. Again!Exactly the same situation as Mascherano, luckily for city they have more money than sense and just give him a pay rise every time which keeps him happy for 6 months.

Evil Spiderman, I really don't understand your typing, your grammar suggests to me you are either six years old & are simply mashing your hand on the keyboard or YOU are are on drugs. . If so where can i get these drugs.
P.S. Suso still looks a little 'lightweight' for the prem.

Since the rumours of downing and young to lfc were here, I thought of a poll. I am not saying we would necessarily get them, just asking who would people prefer.
Click according to who would you prefer as our lw and rw respectively
Believable/ Agree- adam johnson and mark albrighton
Unbelievable/ Disagree- stewart downing and ashley young
What would your choice be ed001 and fellow posters?
Cheers
VM YNWA {Ed002's Note - Ed001 is not around right now. She should be up and about this afternoon.}

Looks like utd are hot on the heels of sanchez if they get him and we get young wouldn't be to happy about but hope we make some kind of effort to get 1 of hulk, gervinho or hazard.
03 May 2011 06:43:20
Players to arrive this summer. . .Marveaux, M'Vila, Dzsudzsak, Cissokho, Sakho, Perotti, Young, Payet and Sissoko.
Players leaving this summer. . . Jones, Kyrgiakos, Degen, Poulsen, Konchesky, Jovanovic, Ngog and Aquilani.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -.
other than marveaux we probaly buy 2 wingers at most. you have 4. i don't get it why people always put 2 new CM in their list while we have already meireles, lucas, spearing and gerrard there. at most we will buy one one that position.
so from your list the likely ones are marveaux, m'vila, Dzsudzsak, Cissokho, Sakho and payet.
if theses players come add cole, maxi, insua and a couple of reserve players to the list

Seems like some of guys on drugs lol to think coady and sterling are better then suso, suso can beat players with ease reminds me of little of messi and then kids passing geez got the same range of passing like xabi and charlie and his only gona get better just needs to put on some size.
Sterling and coady excite me aswel tho, but suso looks like the next gerrard for me.

Big Sami reties and takes up a coaching role in Germany. Good luck to you Sami but why not come back to lfc and coach?
03 May 2011 03:15:52
Will benzema definately be joining then?
03 May 2011 02:05:10
Hey Ed, a lot of people are saying we need to improve the midfield. Why not give Suso more first team action? Isnt he an AM? I mean him, in addition to Gerrard, Lucas, Meireles, with Shelvey and Spearing as backup seams like a pretty solid mid to me. Instead of spending a whole lot of money on a CM we probably don't need, we can spend it on some width.

Ed. Rumours please!:) why do you think benzema would fit in and do you think there'd be enough money left for wingers and other positions? {Ed001's Note - I don't think he would fit in, I think he is lazy and doesn't work hard enough for the team. But buying him would still leave money for wingers as well.}
- - - - - - - -
carroll doesn't get stick about not tracking back. so why should benzema? i just wana know what you have against him? {Ed001's Note - Carroll does track back, he is just not lightning quick to be able to chase round like a Tevez or Suarez. Benzema, on the other hand, is quick, but he would rather stand with his hands on his hips on the half way line. He reminds me of Lineker, Everton had Andy Gray, who didn't score all that many but worked his backside off for the team and won the league. They replaced Gray with Lineker, he scored shedloads of goals, Everton finished second. You can't play a high pressing game like we are trying to with passengers, everyone needs to get involved, Benzema won't do that.}

sterling, suso and silva(who is underated by the liverpool fans)

QPR and Norwich are back to Top Flight. I hope Forest gets the third spot. I have a feeling that we'll win the league in The City Ground next season.

Just read through all the pointless threads. Amazing
People forget Liverpool was built on a foundation. one that has been supported for 100 years. Some greedy so and so wanted his stadium filled with gullible people who would pay over the odds to watch 11 over sexed idiots kick a ball around.
These foundations created the Barclay Premiership . .

Hi ed just wondering why does Celtic fc and borrusia Dortmund also sing you'll never walk alone before kick off? {Ed001's Note - no idea sorry.}
03 May 2011 00:11:52
Ed, you say that Aquliani can't deal with the demands of the pl, how can a player like Modric deal with the demands of the pl. Also if you had to chose one, who would you chose? {Ed001's Note - Modric is nothing like Aqualani, he is not a whining little girl who runs a mile from a tackle, there is no comparison. Rafa saw it as soon as the lad trained and that is why there were a succession of 'injuries' when in fact he just wasn't up to the job. Modric is a top class player and he doesn't mind getting stuck in, even if he can't slide tackle to save his life and just ends up sliding past the player with the ball.}
