Many things amaze me about our team selection and bench in most games, but with Carra, Skrtel, Soto & Wilson across the back 4 I laughed my ass off. Surely its time to give Robinson & Flanagan a go on the bench. Wilson looks terrible everytime he plays LB.
Can Ince do any worse down the left than Maxi or an out of position Meireles? Can Silva do any worse on the right than Kuyt with his endless bad control and terrible passing? And don't get me started on Pacheco. . Perhaps his bad attitude comes from knowing he is 10x better than Ngog but never gets a look in. Think we have too many politics at LFC and should just play the best X1.
Meireles is currently our best CM but every chance we get we play him out wide where he can do nothing. Is this to accomodate Lucas?
And please can we sell Agger. It is no point having a guy that plays 5 games a season. Joe Cole too, we all know he cannot play more than 2 consecutive games. Hasnt for years.
Most will disagree but I think Skrtel is underated and is our best CD currently. Kelly must move back to CD where he is better suited. Johnson to RB and buy a LB asap.

With bayern having an average season, do u see them making changes to their players? I understand unlikely but someone like olic or van buyten could be good buys. Who would u have join us from bayern? Also can't see dortmund making much change with champs next year, tho some very good young players. Tris

Just wondering guys, what do you all think of Joe Ledley?
He has gone off the radar a bit sinse United and Arsenal went off him?
Hes a decent midfielder with the chance to prosper with a strong team and support.
I do understand he is under the standard of say Martinez, Banega, Adam, but hes young and cheaper than all them?
Ed what ya reckon of him?
I do understand he won't be moving to anyone, let alone us, but just wondering what ya think of him?
Anfield Andy {Ed001's Note - he has not exactly shone in the SPL, he is just not good enough in my opinion.}

Please I can assure you The chef kd7 YNWA JFT96 it wasn't me that posted unbelieve, can I also say never once was I ever defending the S*n or any other of News International outlets but rather hinting towards FSG taking a stand against News International as well as us supporters and not accepting the £50m TV rights, they may think they ARE the media but believe me they are not!
We could go down the route of RM and Barca and have our own TV rights rather than excepting Rupert Murdochs money, that's why I posted the question for clarification on News International. . . . .I just don't know my-self and neither do my friends, I asked to see if anyone did know and if it is true, if so, then we should do every thing possible to secure our own TV rights and NEVER EVER accept money from News International.

Hi eds, i was keeping an eye on shane long this season hoping he would develope into a good enough player to replace robbie keane for ireland but i think he's come on even more then i had hoped for. i think he could make it to the top if he got a chance to play with better players every week and i think he could be a good buy for lfc.( better than ngog) what do u all think? cheaper than many other supposed targets with pl experiance, strong, good in the air and good feet.
04 Apr 2011 22:46:07
I only watched the first half of the Reserves game tonight but the following struck me as obvious (please I know they are young so this is constructive criticism):
Wisdom is a good player but at least 2012-2013 season away player unless he can improve further (looked awesome last year but to be fair is playing more difficult opponents).
Shelvey looked good when he had the ball; however he is no right or left midfielder.
Silva - anticipation and decision making need to improve; doesn't anticipate the pass etc. great on the ball but needs to understand it a bit more.
Suso - Interesting; didn't get the ball and when he did he got knocked off it quite quickly. However its his 1st season over here and he started off in U18's so hopefully we will see more off him next year.
Ngog - hmmm normally I think his hold up play is good but I think he may be a confidence player and not playing in the 1st team if hindering him - I'd consider loaning him out next year if we have a replacement or selling him if a great offer comes in.
Not sure if Paul Ince will be insisting his son gets a contract now he's not manager of Notts County now. Well not to what he was hoping.

So did we. It was mostly a second-string U18 line up, yet they still managed to easily beat your kiddies.
Best Academy in England is an understatement when you see how easily our U18s can brush aside those who are supposedly cream of the crop.

In reply to Bob the Red's post about Ayala.
I can't comment on either his loan spell at Hull or Derby (although he was rated the highest rated player for Hull on SSN's websites by both them and fans during his time at Hull) as I've not seen the games he's played in.
But I also remember him coming in at the beginning on last season and his distribution was poor (whether it was nerves I don't know); but at the end of the season he also played a few games and I was impressed with his improvement both defending and distribution. Now I'll play the devils advocate and say I don't know if these matches were as competitive as they could've been but he looked OK.
Could he replace the Greek? Not sure but the Greek holds so many players and gets turned easily that it is a worry (not knocking that he gives 100% though).
In terms of Ayala, maybe he will play better with others around him (see Kuyt ;o) ).

Hi all,
My mate sent me a email early this morning, he got some news today regarding our transfers in the upcoming window.
He said the following.
Kenny and DC will target up to 8 players this summer in order to compete for honours next term. We want a CB, LB, DM, CM, ST and 3 wingers.
Maxi, Cole, Jovanovic, Poulsen, Konchesky, Aquilani, Degen, El Zhar, Soto, Insua, Pacheco, Ngog, Amoo, Eccleston, Jones, Aurelio could all be heading for the door.
OK, regarding the ins.
Adam, Marveaux and Young are nearly done.
We agreed to sign Benzema in Jan for 24m, but Real put it off to the summer as they were, and still are short of striking options, and will be looking to buy Llorente and Aguero this summer.
We are interested in Monreal, Baines, Enrique and Coentrao for LB- Monreal and Enrique we have watched, we have spoke to Baines' agent and we have made some enquiries to Benfica over Coentrao.
For CB, we have watched Cahill and Sakho and I would expect bids for them (Cahill is wanted more) as there is interest but it is unclear on which one we will make a move for.
I know we are in talks with PSV over a potential move for Dzsudzsak coming here. Talks are ongoing but I expect him to sign for a fee of around 12.5m.
We were in talks with Sissoko's agent group on Thursday. Our first interest in M'vila was because of Sissoko rejecting us as soon as we spoke to him, but he seems to have changed his mind and is open to a move here, despite claims he wants CL football. (who doesn't want CL?) There is also interest in Kayal but he seems unlikely at the moment. Defour is rated by DC but his injury problems are putting us off atm. Inler is also another possibility.
We made a move for Hazard last month but I highly doubt we will sign him.
Cheers,
The Insider **

Hey ed, what do you think about us getting Monreal for left back. We've been watching him recently. {Ed001's Note - not seen that much of him to be honest, not enough to be sure he is good enough for us from what I saw.}
Cheers for the reply ed. I here he is good friends with Reina. Maybe a move could be made to pacify our 'want-away' keeper? Just a though.
{Ed002's Note - I can't believe that the club would turn to buying a buddy of a player just to keep him happy.}
04 Apr 2011 21:35:41
I, too have just watched the reserves. What struck me about them, as well as the obvious class of players like Suso, Irwin and Wisdom, was the inability of a lot of the players like Ngog (who personally I think has talent) who seem to lack the basic skill of protecting the ball.
It was frustrating to see our players "bullied" off the ball so many times. The same thing seemed to happen at West Brom on Saturday with the first team too! There is a fine line between physically being strong and winning a ball and a foul. Most referees (especially in the Premiership) seem to allow a lot of rough handling which our players don't seem to be able to cope with.
Having said all that, Atkinson on Saturday was a joke referee - it is the first time I have been a foul given against a player (Carroll) for getting a palm in the face, when challenging for a ball!
04 Apr 2011 21:25:29
I personally don't think we need three big name strikers as we won't be able to keep them all happy that's why I think we should go for two up and coming young strikers and sell ngog anyone agree
I agree mate Ngog simply not good enough, Odemwyngie&Sturridge are what we should be looking at! Pacy skilful strikers who can be back up to our main two but also good enough to come in for long term injuries or suspensions! 4 quality strikers is what you need-thoughts anyone?
Thanks
DevaRED-Jay
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
We need at least 3 quality strikers, this way we are going to have options, and I think they need to be experinced players. I hope we do not buy Sturridge or Odemwyngie as I don't think they will really add anything to the squad and it is so important that we add quality this summer. Ross
there is that but the point I was trying to get across was that we should have 2 main strikers and 1 maybe 2 quality strikers that are happy to step down to carrol and suarez and we aren't going to get that from benzema

04 Apr 2011 21:24:03
Just replying (rather belatedly) to Roy and his comment yesterday about Ayala.
Whilst i share his (Roy) optimism in a young player, i'm wondering just a couple of things about him. I last watched him against Aston Villa in August 09 when we lost and he looked badly out of his depth. Now that in itself isn't the issue.
If memory serves me right, he was playing because of injuries to Carra and Srktel in the Spurs game. On the night he was given a bit of a tousing from Agbonlahor who ran him ragged and secondly by Young in the second half.
Now that was a long time ago, in football terms. We never saw him again after that initial spell. I wondered whether Rafa had done a 'Hobbs' on him and made the decision that he just was never going to make the grade.
In fairness Rafa never gave the kids a shot so that may explain the absence. But in the early part of the summer he was off back to his native Spain. I still do not know why that move broke down. He was then moved on to Hull, got injured came back at xmas and then back out to Derby.
Whilst he's doing well in these two spells, he isn't pulling up trees. I even tried to cure my insomnia by watching a Preston -v- Hull game just to see how he was getting on. There comes a time when potential has to be realised. He didn't really stand out as a 'wow' player.
He isn't at a level to be playing first team football for Liverpool and certainly not at the level to be compared as a replacement for Agger. He is however better than Kyriagos because he is more mobile, so he's good enough for the Liverpool of now.
Happy that the Warnock to Liverpool rumours have died down though. He makes Konchesky look world class.
So far Agger, Konchesky, Kyriagos in the 'out' bin, Ayala i need to be convinced
Hmmmm onto Skrtel, no matter how many times i see his name i can't spell it :( for my next analysis.

Regarding Baie Naam's Post :
While I completely agree with you, one thing you're missing is that this is football-rumours.co.uk, not football-facts.co.uk.
Should we just shut this site down and wait for the transfers as they happen on premierleague.com?
That would be boring.

As I've said before, everyone can stop talking about Ashley Young joining LFC. He's decided to go to Manu now in the summer. This isn't a rumour it's come from someone very close to the player.
We've also been watching Monreal for the left back spot.

04 Apr 2011 20:51:51
All the talk about possible signings is a bit puzzling when you consider that no-one knows for certain who is going to join next year, not even the players (current and future) themselves. Players move for a few reasons only. Firstly, a player wants to elevate himself by joining a bigger club. Liverpool is a big club, just like the other five or six clubs we want to compete with. Secondly, players want to join a club where they know they will have a good chance to play. Liverpool has holes in its squad which means that any decent player will walk into the first 11. Thirdly, players want to play for a manager who will allow them to express themselves fully. We currently have Kenny Dalglish who likes to play a brand of football which is more attractive than the last three managers we've had (I'm not old enough to go further back in time) and if possible we might bring in another manager with a good reputation and record. Fourthly, players like to make good money and even if Satan himself were the owner signing their checks they'd still join. Therefore, Liverpool has a chance to sign EVERY player mantioned on this site (bar the Messi and Ronaldo jokes). The notion that players are guided by anything else than the most basic concerns is ridiculous. Ask Torres if he is happy to be on the Chelsea bench given the stability of the ownership and the upcoming CL games. And by the way, last time I checked every team starts with 0 points. No matter who ends up where, you have to do it again next year. Champions League football is great, but helping to qualify for it at the end of the season is better than watching your mates play in it if from the bench.

Erm I'm not sure where you get your facts from but it's well known Baines supported Liverpool as a youngster, regularly watched from The Kop and began at the centre of excellence. As for Utd being in pole for Honda, well i'd wager that's as accurate as your previous statement.

You've got a bit mixed up, mate. Baines is a massive LIVERPOOL fan. I know he did that interview about his 'proudest moments' and all that, but would you be happy if Suarez came out mid-season and said he was a massive Man U fan? The entire interview stinks of some inauthenticity.
That, and United aren't interested in Honda. At least not as far as I know and I haven't seen any reliable people talking about it either. Yes, a few teams are interested him (notably Atletico Madrid), but not the Mancs.

Heard from an extremely reliable source that both us and Tranmere Rovers are having a look at Airbus keeper Niki-Lee-Bulmer. Not guaranteeing anything will happen but we are watching him, now that he is playing in this area having previosuly played for QPR. He looks a good keeper.

To all the Lfc Eds and anyone else who would like to comment, for many years now it seems that a lot of people have vented their anger at the Sun news paper for their comments on the events of Hillsborough (and rightly so) I was very young back then, I am only 35 now but it was my understanding that most if not all the red tops published similar claims for several days after the tragedy.
My question is this, was News International not the owner of the gutter press back then like they are today? Being ex-army and studying media at uni now I may have a different outlook than most, please let me explain, if they were, then surely the blame should fall at the feet of News International and not the Sun alone?
Please let me give you an example, at the moment we are carrying out air strikes on Gadaffi's tanks and a brilliant question was raised on the Daily Politics show, surely the air strikes should be aimed at Gadaffi instead of the tank commanders for they wouldn't be in those tanks if they were not ordered by Gadaffi and his generals?
My gripe is this, sure the Sun, the Mirror, Star and all the other foot soldiers (tank commanders) of News International stand on the firing line for the things they said but surely the real EVIL is Rupert Murdoch, News International and all the generals he surrounds himself with, aren't they the ones that give the orders?
Sorry for my military and media outlook on this and if it has offended any one I am sorry, this question was not meant to cause harm in anyway but instead to raise awareness and educate, as I said I am only 35 and was very young at the time and I am sure there are many LFC fans that visit this site that are even younger. If anyone could shed some light that would be most appreciated because it effects all of us and to this day I have always vented my frustrations more at News International and Rupert Murdoch than any of his cronies like the red tops.
Am I mistaken? And if so can some one please explain why so I can one day pass the knowledge on to the next generation of LFC fans. Sorry for the long post Eds but I think this site is more than just about rumours and a lot of knowledge is gained from reading these pages.

Great site, curious. . Why is it after 1 win everyone is on cloud 9, then a loss and kenny is out? Come on reds, its hard but Patience is all we can do atm. Some strong signings and developing the bench with youths. Would love Honda or nzogbia to sign, think we don't need another strikers but boost the mids and wings. Tho i can't see 10 players leaving as most people are thinking, the obvious Jova, poulson, maxi, ngog and prob kyriagos, not awful players but not getting played enough and probably better suited in other leagues. Sorry for long post. . Just impatient for some transfers and a deal on kenny. Tristan

A friend of mine has told me that KK is considering offering Michael Owen a return on a pay as you play deal. It was 1st of April when he told me so could be a wind up. IMO this is a non starter as he burnt his bridges with . On the other hand perhaps we can snap him up on a 2 year pay as you play deal and then stick him in the reserves for two years without picking him once for a game. Would be perfect penitance and at no cost the club. Reality Red

Makes sense ed and if youre right ed then there will be a fair few journos eating there words or changing there story. One of them even went as far to say that they will have to sell to buy with Rooney being linked to leave. I know journalists a wrong frequently and I don't expect Rooney to leave but its the first time ive read stuff like this about united and it mirrors what the same juorns said about liverpool for a long time and they were right, look at some of the player sales weve had over the last couple of years. In terms of player sales, Liverpool under Rafa made more money than ever before unfortunately allot of it went on debt repayments & intrest charges."""

Carragher Skrtel Wilson
Kuyt Meireles Lucas Jovanovic
Cole
Suarez Carrol
Jovanovic has not had a fair chance and has got to be our best bet on the left surely, cole i think played well when put in this position last so it's worth a try as we have had no one from midfield linking with attack properly. P.S Krygiakos should never play again, 2 games, 3 goals down to him (2 penalties).

I really hope Liverpool do not buy Wayne Bridge, he is now 31, and FSG have said many times before that they are looking at youth and players that will be value for money so this counts bridge out, and there are much better players available, we are looking at Oscar Wendt who is also avaliable on a free transfer, what is the point in buying more crap when we already have so much of it, and are going to struggle to get anymore than £2.50 for the lot. Ross
04 Apr 2011 18:18:04
I am guessing kelly will play cb next year, glen back on the right. this will mean no need to buy an expensive new cb. all we would need is a lb and maybe a back up that could play either side for cheap.
if we got really desperate with injurys we could then use glen, kelly or agger as emergency backup in the full back possitions and use carra, skrtle and willson as cb cover.
anybody else agree on this?
glen= kelly= =agger= new lb.
that would be our defence sorted for cheap(ish)
why spend 20m on a new cb when it can be used on a winger? we won't have unlimited funds this summer so i imagine we will spend about 10m on a decent lb and nothing else on defence.
feedback welcomed

I know what you are saying but Kelly has been very good playing on the right side of defence, and he is a better defender than johnson, and has lots of pace and is always willing to get forward. I also think we have to look at getting cover for Agger, he is a great defender, but will spend more time with the medics than on the pitch and he has been like this for quite a while now, and carragher is no longer good enough to play every game. so I think we need to address our defence, I know we have got some good players coming through just not sure they are ready to step up just yet.

We should have bought Wayne Bridge years ago, now there is very little point. We should never have let Alonso go, again there would be little point having him now. The time has come for wholesale changes, youngsters to be promoted and new talent to be discovered. We are at our lowest ebb for many years and therefore this is the very best chance we have to rebuild. In my opinion making KK the permanent manager should be a step back that will allow us to stride forwards. I truly believe that the new owners understand where we should be and know how to get us there. Here's hoping for an exciting summer

LIVERPOOL SEASONS IS OVER. Let all go on holiday and slip champagne cocktails, what a disappointing season
So our season is disappointing? What about the fact we got rid of Statler and Waldorf? What about the return Of King Kenny, the last manager to guide us to the league title? What about the new owners, people it seems with a good head for business, a sporting pedigree, albeit in baseball?
Look at where we was before FSG came in and brought in KK, in the relegation zone.
We may not be pulling up trees, but we are a lot better off than we was, so stop moaning and get behind the team.

For free as backup? you can't go wrong there. we must of played most of the team at Lb this year. if we got a half decent proper LB and bridge i would be happy.
- - - - - - - -
We all seem to be forgetting Bridge's massive wages and the signing on fee which will most likely be just as ridiculous. That added to the fact he's 32 this year, will only sit on the bench if signed and that, overall, he is a poor player. I'd rather bring Insua back (and I genuinely don't want Insua back) - at least Insua would actually be free and would probably do a better job despite being a decade Bridge's junior.

I can't believe people would be happy for us to sign wayne bridge did u not see him get destroyed by theo walcott earlier in the season. he is very, very average and even j pennant can give him the run around.
If hes the type of player we are going to sign id be VERY concerned

I personally think that A. Johnson, Marveaux, Baines and Canales would be a great piece of transfer business. There is a lot of dead weight around so don't expect too many names coming in, hopefully just quality. If you let the likes of Poulsen, Konchesky, Aurelio, Kyrgiakos and Jovanovic go along with maybe, Insua, Maxi, Aquilani, N'gog and Cole it would lighten the load on the wage budget and the squad numbers considerably.

Yep just read it. if we got him on a free or dead cheap i would take him.
in an ideal world i would love to get baines. but lets be honest, everton would make it really difficult for us. we would pay more than we should and it will go on all summer, if it broke down (and it prob would) then we will be left with no time at all to find another decent lb and will end up with someone rubbish or overpriced. i can't see us messing about all summer trying to get him when its so important we get a lb in the team as soon as possible.
mikey
I agree again with you that Baines would be the better option of the 2 players, the 2 of them have loads of premiership experance and both get forward well. I believe Kenny is looking for players that have premiership experance or are young enough to learn to play in this country, hence Young/ Adam/ Carrol type players

Now the club isn't crippled by debt does anyone know what sort of money will be available in the summer, just some of the 'wishlists' on here seem abit pricey. we can't expect the owners to just give the manager ridiculous amounts of money to spend (and if you do expect that i'm sure you will be welcome amongst man city fans). anyone with a ball park idea on funds, ed?
on players in i would love to see;
lb, leighton baines (slim chance i know, i can't really think of alot of quality lb's)
cdm/ cm, yann m'vila or moussa sissoko
lw/ rw, good wingers are a dime a dozen and i'm sure people on here can list a few
st, either hulk or gervinho both class and can play on the wings if needed, benzema would be great but with all the talk about him coming sounds to good to be true

Totally agree with you on this Mikey, i don't know if you read my post on Wayne Bridge on the rumours page?

I'm sure Bridge wouldn't cost alot but i think his wages are high at Man City.

I agree with most of what you've put Barry , especially on suarez not staying long if we don't improve.
This is why I do think the owners will spend money , because if we don't you'll end up with your top players wanting to leave.
As for Carroll we to give him time he will be a top player for us. His goal for England shows he has ability with his feet its not just his height.
Playing a long ball from defence to Carroll is crap , and I don't know what people expect him to do with that.
We need wingers who will fire the balls into the box so then he can attack the ball or lay of suarez.
LAVERS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
He did get a good goal when playing for England yeah, and scored a cracker for Newcastle when we played them, maybe its the fitness thing or the service he is getting (or not getting). If he had a bit more pace he would be lethal. I read a good quote today that we bought a car for £35M but it had no wheels, Carroll been the car and wingers been the wheels, so we definitely need to splash the cash on two good wingers that have pace and have a good delivery.
BTW did anyone see the Napoli - Lazio game? Edison Cavani, what a player! Watched him against ROI too. Scored a hat trick in the game and he has 26 goals or somthing like that so far. I can't see us signing him but hope the Mancs or Chelsea don't get there hands on him

its posts like this which i think drive the eds crazy. no wonder they don't comment. Its a joke quite frankly. i no that's strong but if you really think were going to spend £35million on a striker to put him on the bench you are wrong. Carrolls had a slow start but were not playing to his strengths right now, and we won't until the summer.
I completely disagree with Mcgeady, there are much better proven players out there, and you are not going to have kelly or meireles in your team? This is honestly 1 of the worst ive seen in a while.

Hey all, before we sign anybody else we need to get rid of Sammy lee and get (if possible) ray wilkins as asststant manager and then get down to transfer business, by the way ed (eds) i was one of those who wanted Carroll before he signed when you said that you are having doubts, but now tough its early, i am having doubts about him.

Ed what would your opinion be if the liverpool team next season was; reina, kelly, agger, dann, enrique, young, adam, gerrard, turan, carroll, suarez
I think that this is the best we can hope for with no european football next season, your thoughts Ed? {Ed001's Note - I am not sure if that could be considered the best we could hope for, that looks like a team that would get overrun in the midfield to me.}

Hello eds.what do you make of our recent longball tactics?I find it odd that dalglish has gone about things this way although carroll is an obvious target.when dalglish first come in it was all about quick passing along the ground.do u think we will carry the longball tactic into next season?or will he improve our ground game once better players arrive?thanks, Alex
{Ed002's Note - I don't think it makes for attractive football. To a certain extent Dalglish's hands are tied as the wide players he has are not being picked. As for next season, who knows.}

LIVERPOOL SEASONS IS OVER. Let all go on holiday and slip champagne cocktails, what a disappointing season
04 Apr 2011 11:51:15
Liverpool to make an early start in the summer Transfer window and are making a move for Louis Saha for back up striker. Also from Everton they are looking at Leighton Baines for Left back. However, All the Karim Benzema talk is a load of rubbish as he is on his way to Inter in the summer. Also Sylvain Marveux is a done deal. Now, the people that are out are:
Poulsen-2.5 mil
Cole-4 mil
Konchesky-1 mil
Maxi Rodriguez-3.5 mil
These will all been shown the door as Liverpool is not the club for them.
Also, KK will be offered a 2 year contract at the end of season.
Cheers,

It's posts like this which make me laugh so much! I bet you don't even know how much debt we are in, and I bet you didn't know we are paying it off with ease!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Theres is no doubt youre paying it off, with the sales of players. Ronaldo money was a massive help in this, it helpeed pay off the intrest charges and some of the loan that year. However if youre suggesting that united can afford to buy players the way they did a couple of years ago tjen I beleive you are mistaken. There has been allot of research by sports journalists done on the matter and the outcome was not a nice read for any football fan. There is no doubt Glazers are million times better then Hicks & Gillette were but that would not be that hard to do. The Glazers are rich for a reason, they are good business men, unfortunatley that means that united will have to be strict with money untill the majority of the debt is removed. If you require more information on this subject then I suggest you take a look at some of fellow fans articles on it, there some good ones on there. To sum up though, uniteds days of spending 30 mil on players are gone for the next couple of years
{Ed002's Note - I am not so sure that you are correct here.}

Fair enough ed, and you might well be right you clearley have allot more inside info on teams than I have. Its just what ive read from allot of sports journo's. Im by no way a an expert on united, but what Ive read would not of impressed me if I was a united fan. It was very similar stuff to what I read about liverpool under H&G. I know from reading other football pages that there is allot of united fans feeling the same unease about the situation, again very similar to our situation under old regime. It could well be wrong and what Gill actually says about affording players is true. The recession may well be coming to an end or be over however the problem with recession is not living through it, its coping with the after math, that's when banks become seriously tight with money. I suppose its a wait and see game.
{Ed002's Note - The Glazer's appear to have remained supportive of the manager in the transfer market and there is no reason to assume that this is going to change. The club are cash rich and are aware that they need a refresh in a few positions. Firm interest in the likes of Sanchez and Pastore has shown that the club are at least doing some of their shopping away from the bargain basement.}

Makes sense ed and if youre right ed then there will be a fair few journos eating there words or changing there story. One of them even went as far to say that they will have to sell to buy with Rooney being linked to leave. I know journalists a wrong frequently and I don't expect Rooney to leave but its the first time ive read stuff like this about united and it mirrors what the same juorns said about liverpool for a long time and they were right, look at some of the player sales weve had over the last couple of years. In terms of player sales, Liverpool under Rafa made more money than ever before unfortunately allot of it went on debt repayments & intrest charges.

My brother is a Blackpool fan and I went with him to the match at Fulham yesterday. I must confess we completely missed the new statue. Can't think of anything less appropriate. If our chairman were to fund anything similar and then come out and say if you don't like it go and support Chelsea (or Everton, in our case) there would surely be a revolution.
On another matter, the form of Adam was interesting. He is clearly their playmaker and very important as they seem to set themselves up for him. Not sure that we would do the same and he would need to adapt to being in a squad rather than being the first name on the teamsheet. He has definately got quality and is experienced in the PL so he could be adapted to us at the right price.
Was good to in the Blackpool end and witness them outshouting the Fulham fans. Although they were well beaten they didn't go too hard on their players and kept singing - bit like us really! Fulham fans notably seemed to go celebrating their win in the local coffee bars after the match, very genteel!

Very poor performance on Saturday. West Brom deserved the win, and for Hodgson to get one over us is another kick in the nuts. How we are losing to the bad teams is beyond me. The team can go out and beat United on there day and go out and lose to West Brom, Blackpool, West Ham, Newcastle. I look at some of the wishlists and even though they are unrealistic we do need a massive clear out and some big money signings. Kelly and Johnson would be the only two defenders i would have for next season, Skrtel is a terribel defender i don't care what anyone says, Agger, Aurelio always injured. Carra will retire after next season. Wilson is not good enough. In the middle Meireles isn't suited to the prem league, he is a good footballer but its too fast paced and physical for him, Gerrard is always injured now, kuyt runs with his head down, cole is a waste, Lucas. . Im not even getting started on him. Carrol looks like he's going to be the biggest flop in history. £35M could of been used to buy two better strikers. The fact that he is English his valuation was through the roof (its crazy by the way how many English players are overvalued) Suarez is a good player but unless we buy big i can't see him staying long. So overall the only players that will be good enough for our team is Reina, Kelly, Johnson, Gerrard, Suarez and maybe Carrol, but that's a big maybe.And players like Carra, Lucas & Kuyt would be good squad players ie the bench
Barry B
. . . . . .
I agree with most of what you've put Barry , especially on suarez not staying long if we don't improve.
This is why I do think the owners will spend money , because if we don't you'll end up with your top players wanting to leave.
As for Carroll we to give him time he will be a top player for us. His goal for England shows he has ability with his feet its not just his height.
Playing a long ball from defence to Carroll is crap , and I don't know what people expect him to do with that.
We need wingers who will fire the balls into the box so then he can attack the ball or lay of suarez.

I think the appointment of kenny as caretaker manager was 100% the right thing to do at the time as roy just was not up to managing a team as big as liverpool and i think kenny has done a great job in turning things around with the playing staff we have BUT. . i don't see kenny as the long term answer to the clubs problems on the pitch so i believe we need to look to someone younger this summer to start to rebuild. if kenny stays for 2 years and then someone else comes in and don't like the team kenny has built do we have to start the prosess all over again? surley we'd be better off with a young ambitious manager on a 4 0r 5 year contract and try and build a team capable of winning things for mant years to come? someone like klopp or villa boas would be a good choice. owen coyle is another who should be looked at and also gus poyet and de matteo should also be considered. the team needs a big overhaul both in playing staff and style of play. we can't afford to get it wrong this time as its now so long since we last won the title that im now married and have 3 kids who only know of past glories from what i tell them and old video footage and replays on lfctv. i would like to be able to experiance liverpool winning the league with my boys before they leave home and they are now 12 and 10 and as every year passes it gets closer to not having that chance. rant over. sorry its so long. any comments ed? {Ed002's Note - Broadly I concur. Putting Kenny Dalglish in charge was the correct short-term solution and he has clearly done well in bringing the team together. In the longer term, I think the club need to look forward and seek a younger manager with fresh ideas.}
04 Apr 2011 11:05:42
Morning to all reds. ive been reading alot of what people on the site have said on tranfers and managers. i know we get linked with so many players but don't you think we should sort out the manager first. i know it looks like king kenny will get the job and i hope he will. but why do lfc sit and wait on things like this all the time. he has proved he still has it and the players want him. i say get it sorted now so he can get the players he needs in the summer. least that will be one thing sorted. {Ed002's Note - I am sure it will either have been addressed already, at least verbally, or will be clear to everyone at the beginning of the transfer window.}
04 Apr 2011 10:53:15
I have just been informed that Kenny will NOT be our permanent manager. He will take on Damien Comolli's old role and work along side Comolli. He will be manager until the end of the season where the club will look to be in a new manager, with Jose Mourinho at the top of their list. It was always their intention to bring him in at the end of the season hence the appointment of Steve Clarke as First Team Coach. He was Jose's trusted right hand man and worked brilliantly together at Chelsea. Signing him was a ploy to try and covince Mourinho to join this Summer. FSG have a lot more money than people think, collectively, the group is worth around £6bn and have the financial backing to flex their muscles and prove a statement that they want Liverpool at the very top, and see Jose as the man to do this. A lot of work is going on behind the scenes, plenty of negotiations with clubs for players, and clubs for managers.
I agree with the Ed's however, it would be very difficult to get Mourinho in, but he is craving to return to the Premier League, and would prefer to join Man Utd, Man City or Chelsea (not while Roman is there) over us. Who knows what could happen but I for one am very excited for this summer, could be the biggest and brightest summer for decades!

With an ever increasing injury list and a number of ageing squad players who have had their best years and are more concerned with their pay slips, and numerous players filling in positions they are not comfortable with, and with 4th and probably 5th now out of our reach and with only 7 games left surely now is the time to blood some of the young talent we have.
Surely its better to play Robinson at LB over Wilson and Wilson at CB ahead of Kyrgiakos who is just a disaster waiting to happen. Flanaghan ahead of Carragher at RB with Carragher partnering Wilson at CB to give him guidance. Bring Coady in place of Gerrard and play the likes of Sterling, Suso or Silva ahead of the likes of Maxi, Cole or Jovanovic. These lads are hopefully the future of our club and should now be drafted into the team ahead of the squad players who are almost certain to be heading out the door this summer.
We are still dropping points to teams we should be beating using the squad players so why not give the kids a run out, they can't do any worse, and with the vibrancy and enthusiasm that most youngsters have they will probably do better.
Let's chalk this season off as mostly being a disaster and start the rebuilding process now, and start looking forward to a bright future with great new owners, King Kenny back where he belongs, a great crop of talent coming through, a handful of class players and hopefully some more added to it this summer.

Hi ed, if I remember correctly I think I read an article last year during the world cup qualifiers i think that Leighton Baines is also suffering from homesickness(like Jesus Navas), was that true ed? If that's true then I think we would end up with Baines considering that Everton is in financial trouble and would sell him. Thanks ed, keep it up
- - - - - - - - - - -
The story that Baines was homesick was nothing more than a journo twisting his reply to a question about him missing his family while away. Even if you thought it was true I don't see how you draw the conclusion that he will end up at Liverpool because of it? However the bitters are in a financial mess and he may be an option, I hope he is as I rate him highly.

Ed001. As I said, I understand the need to edit posts, particularly offensive ones. I also understand the need to stop inciteful posts - such as Sun discussions - which often lead to raw emotions running high. Its hard to believe however, that my post or Steves were somehow missed, not helped when you say you have no idea about the post by Steve which was pulled, then say a few lines later that you pulled his post - Mine however, was pulled for none of the stated reasons, which is why I was irritated. I have no problem with your policy on editing posts - its editing/ pulling posts that do not break your given reasons that's hard to swallow. It was, I suggest, a case of ed002 being unable to explain or justify his rude and condescending responses and actions and then going on a power-trip, cutting anything that contradicts his views. Perhaps fearing that others would agree how rude this guy (ed002) is - this is rather sad I feel. Being told to 'look elsewhere' for not adhering to, or accepting the editing rules is one thing - but being told this when I have not offended anyone or broken any of the stated rules is another entirely. Your response bore little relevance to my case whilst telling me rather politely 'where to go'. I'll try to focus on the part where you said sorry, (before the disclaimer) just tell ed002 to sort it out - treat people with the same respect he expects to be given him, if someone doesn't have a source or proof stop attacking them, if someone has a link then great - its a 'rumours' site after all. ed002 acts like an authority all onto himself - without any of the proof or sources which he (rudely) demands of others - then claims his abuse & responses are his 'opinion' & therefore acceptable, whereas the 'opinions' of others are always scutinised and dismissed in his inimitable, stuck-up, condescending style - very off-putting to potential posters. I will remain here, if that's okay. I enjoy reading the posts of fellow reds, even the silly ones who think we'll sign messi, benzema and aguero this summer - I want to keep it that way though, not having to think 'should i take the time to write this post? ed002 might not agree and cut it'. I hope you see my point. keep up the good work and keep it clean, posters! (ps. come back, Steve, we can all shake hands - you, ed002 and I. . defeat by Roy seems to have brought out the madness in you).
BJH YNWA {Ed002's Note - Could you please point to these posts where I have asked people "for sources" which I would never do. Also, can you please give details about any posts of "Steve's" that I cut? I am astonished that you are prepared to stay here with my attitude.}

With an ever increasing injury list and a number of ageing squad players who have had their best years and are more concerned with their pay slips, and numerous players filling in positions they are not comfortable with, and with 4th and probably 5th now out of our reach and with only 7 games left surely now is the time to blood some of the young talent we have.
Surely its better to play Robinson at LB over Wilson and Wilson at CB ahead of Kyrgiakos who is just a disaster waiting to happen. Flanaghan ahead of Carragher at RB with Carragher partnering Wilson at CB to give him guidance. Bring Coady in place of Gerrard and play the likes of Sterling, Suso or Silva ahead of the likes of Maxi, Cole or Jovanovic. These lads are hopefully the future of our club and should now be drafted into the team ahead of the squad players who are almost certain to be heading out the door this summer.
We are still dropping points to teams we should be beating using the squad players so why not give the kids a run out, they can't do any worse, and with the vibrancy and enthusiasm that most youngsters have they will probably do better.
Let's chalk this season off as mostly being a disaster and start the rebuilding process now, and start looking forward to a bright future with great new owners, King Kenny back where he belongs, a great crop of talent coming through, a handful of class players and hopefully some more added to it this summer.

Think i have unearthed some real gems here have been doing some research.
first of:
rogelio funes mori - a real talent and prospect for the future plays for river plate in strike only 20 would love to see a move materialize
markus henrikson - a cm 18 years old plays for rosenborg bk in the tippeligen
javier matilla - midfielder 22 plays a similar style to nasri
here are some unearthed gems to go with the names like lodiero wickham chamberlin erikson musacchio lukaku aand others

Hi ed, if I remember correctly I think I read an article last year during the world cup qualifiers i think that Leighton Baines is also suffering from homesickness(like Jesus Navas), was that true ed? If that's true then I think we would end up with Baines considering that Everton is in financial trouble and would sell him. Thanks ed, keep it up

Lol, just saw your post ed002, you're getting mad, calm down. As i said, the post was days ago, that's when you were being abusive. As a result I cannot find the evidence, maybe you were having a bad day. I find it funny however, that you would scream "I never ask for proof or sources in an aggressive manner" whilst screaming for proof and sources in an aggressive manner. I see someone else has also stated that they also were subject to the type of responses which were in question, not just me. I don't want a running fued here. All is forgiven.

Wish we got the three points on the weekend - would have made the remaining 7 games more interesting with even 4th spot being an outside chance. Dont believe we'll finish above where we are now though.
Looking forward to the summer transfer activity and the start of next season. I think given the start we had this season, the only way is up and I do think we will be back in the top four next year - and with a bit of luck in the market and on the pitch, we'll be in the top half of that four.

Can people please stop posting that LFC cannot attract top players because a) we cannot afford them b) we cannot offer CL football?
If that were the case, then Citeh would not have been able to attract the squad they now have and be challenging for a top 4 spot. Players will go where there is potential, where they get game time and where they get paid well! How long they stay, now there is another thing!

You are a fool for believing Suarez wanted to join Liverpool all along.
After the world cup he had his heart set on a move to Manchester United, then when we didn't want him he changed to Barcelona. They didn't want him, so he changed to Tottenham, and so on so forth, till he came along to Liverpool.
What that Liverpool fan was trying to say, was NOT that Liverpool cannot compete for Adam and Young money wise, but League Wise.
If Charlie Adam has an opportunity to play week-in-week-out for Spurs who are 5th and Pushing for Champions League then he WILL choose them, over Liverpool where he would play week-in-week-out, but play Europa League for a Good while.
Same goes for Ashley Young. He would play 30-40 out of 60 games for Manchester United and Win the League, Carling Cup, FA Cup and Challenge for the Champions League every year, or Liverpool where he challenges for the Europa League, but plays all the time. He would prefer to play at Manchester United.

You're making a complete fool of yourself, MPez.
Firstly, do you have a shred of proof for anything you have said in the first highlighted paragraph? Suarez turned down Spuds to join us - "it's common knowledge". As for the rest, well, it's complete and utter bull.
Charlie Adam will be a Liverpool player next season. If he is a Spuds player I will run naked across Anfield on a matchday. There's no chance of him choosing a team that MIGHT be fighting for a CL place for years to come (they won't if Monkey Boy and the fat Dutchman are gone, which is likely) over a team that WILL be fighting for the LEAGUE for years to come (I'm talking 2-3 years, after we cement our CL place next season) and are only miles from where he and his girlfriend live.
I'm sure Young would probably choose your lot over us, though. He's the type who would do that. What I can personally guarantee you here, is that Man U won't win the league next season.

Why oh why are peole calling for the kings head. i really don't get it, were ment to be as one all going for the same thing, rafa had a bad patch - sack him, roy wasnt very good - sack him, king kenny few bad results - sack him. . . . . . so ok we get another manager and it doesn't go well, what then. . i know sack him. . . .we can't just keep going through managers we will get no where. i see alot like boas villas (spelling) but if it didn't go to plan every one would jump on him. . we need to stick with a manager give him two seasons and four transfer windows to get his own players in and his ideas across. To be honest its getting boring now, we have a good game and where great, we play bad and the whole team/ manager gets slated. i always say liverpool fans are the best in the world but alot are very fickle, esp on this site.
whoever is in the hotseat i will give them by full support and same goes for the players. i don't rate poulson, ngog, cole for example but i will support them if kenny chooses them to play. im not one of these people that jeer there own players, i leave that to the gooners! !
have faith people success has many fathers remember that.
king kenny will come good he always does! ! !

aitnree dave {Ed001's Note - how is that derogatory? Have Liverpool fans fallen so low that they are going to get outraged that a player might possibly not have been happy at the club? Aqualani wants to leave, he has been filling the Italian press with quotes about not wanting to come back and how he wants to stay at Juve. Now he has realised they are skint and probably can't afford him he is saying he will come back. The person that has been derogatory has been Aqualani. Talk about shooting the messenger!}

In reply to:
"Many of the Eds have said Adam is going to LFC, as is Young, and I am sure there will be money available for other targets, MPez stop showing yourself up by comming on this page and showing your lack of knowledge about who we are going to be buying, and I am sure we will be able to compete with most teams in the PL, and as UTD are in so much debt I think you should be worried about who you can afford, we will sell you Poulson Ross"
As one of your Fellow Liverpool fans said, Adam to Spurs and Young to United is Common Knowledge!
It's posts like this which make me laugh so much! I bet you don't even know how much debt we are in, and I bet you didn't know we are paying it off with ease!
We have the Funds available in our Club Bank alone, without the Owners Funds. So I would say that we can afford players.

Regarding Mourinho, maybe him joining isn't so unrealistic. I recall seeing a quote from him after the EC semi at Anfield saying 'I experienced the Kop, and it was awesome' - this contrasts with other views that people here have, who say he has stated he'd never manage Liverpool. I don't know which is true. . .i'd like to know what he said about never managing us if anyone knows? Maybe someone would clear this up? What I do know however, is that if the performance at West Brom becomes the standard until the end of the season, that Fenway will be reassessing their options - and if Mourinho is available, any club would be interested. I know he's not the LFC type, he's brash, arrogant and an ego-maniac - but if delivered the title. . . hmmmm. . .its a bit of hard one to know what to think. I'm not saying 'Kenny out' btw. I wrote a long post about this yesterday and I'm not going into that. Just saying that this (a Kenny gone scenario) is very possible. What if we slide till the end of the season? What if Andy still hasn't scored etc. Dalglish, nor any manager, is not above scrutiny. Also, saying 'Kenny knows where we need players/ who to buy'. . . I really don't know if that's true yet. Granted, Suarez is fantastic, I posted when he was rumoured to join us to argue with those who said he was a cheat/ scum etc - great signing. Carroll, hmmm. . again, I posted on this the other day - also giving a few examples of bad management thus far under KK - we can't have 'Kenny vision' obscuring reality. We shall see, but IF Jose wants a new challenge - and LFC show they have the money and ambition to tempt him - then who's to say that the Jose roadshow won't roll into town. Reviving Liverpool would be some project. Jose knows how bid a deal that would be, he remembers when we were the Kings of Europe. Who knows, Kenny, Jose or whoever else -as Bruce Springsteen would say - we'll still 'be on that hill, with everything we've got'.

Hi eds and fellow reds.
i hate to say this but any idea what andy carrol actually does apart from nothing. All that is happening is lfc trying to adapt a diferent playing style for a player that is quite poor technically.
How can we justify 35mill for the lad?
Soto the greek needs to leave a.s.a.p(very poor)
Martin skittles is very poor.
Carragher is past it.
Wilson simply isn't ready.
Agger is too injury prone And that's just the defence.
I don't know about you but i am deeply concerned.
Please cheer us up ed! {Ed001's Note - to be fair to Carroll he is not exactly getting decent service to have the chance to show what he can do, he is coming back from a long injury lay-off and he is part of a new team. Give him time, he isn't technically too bad, just a little lacking in mobility but he can be a good focal point for the team if used correctly and not just as a place to hoof the ball from the back.}

City had a complete overhaul which is why it is obviously taking time. lets not forget, they were often fighting relegation battles in the past and were even in lower leagues 10 years ago. We don't need a complete overhaul. . just 3 or four world class players, not the twenty or so that city brought in. If we invest now then we have the chance for a quick turn around, but if we don't then we will fall even further behind the others.
As for keita and Affelly, when do they ever start 3 games in a row? also Barcelona are a club that has been successfull for years as an academy and as a trophy winning club. . haven't all us LFC supporters waited long enough? Or shall we wait another 20 years till our youth system provides us with constant word class talent? Ed, you really are deluded.

{Ed001's Note - you have changed your tune, one minute you wanted us to buy a whole raft of big name stars, now it is just a couple of additions we need. I still disagree, we just need the best players to suit the system we intend to play, that doesn't necessarily mean the biggest stars in those positions. I don't see Adam as the right player, but I am not the one who decides the way we play, I have faith that we won't be buying him because of his price. After all there are much bigger names around that would be available for less. So Dalglish must see something in him that he can use and that is good enough for me. Certainly I have more faith in his choice of players than yours.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Could not agree more with Ed, we need players who fit our system and positions we need the most, not necessarily big name big money buys. However I am a fan of Adam, i think his great passing will suit Carroll and his free kicks, corners and penalties will help a lot too. Would be interested as to why you don't think he would be a good edition Eds?
