Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.
09 May 2013 22:30:27
Not a rumour, but more of a query about Leighton Baines. Any chance, any interest? Will obv hold the obligatory english tax, but I think would be a great signing and keep Jose on his toes who was terrible against Everton imv. Cheers in advance. {Ed052's Note - interest from us, no}
09 May 2013 22:22:35
Eds and reds,
Liverpool have been linked with Adil Rami, France and Valencia centre back. Any truth in this? {Ed052's Note - I cannot see it happening.}
09 May 2013 21:59:37
Eds fellow reds, not Liverpool related. But I wonder if mourhino is pissed off he didn't get an interview for the utd job. {Ed002's Note - It was never an option.}
09 May 2013 21:47:48
So its happened, old whiskey nose has almost had his last Fergie time in a game.
I like David Moyes, but he does have a few fundamental flaws as a manager. I still remember last years FA Cup semi final at Wembley. In the first half the blues trounced us and I thought wed blown it. Second half came and blues go all defensive to hang on to their lead. BIG MISTAKE! They sat back and Luis took over. Moyes always falls short when BIG decisions have to be made during a game, its as though he panics a little. We shall see.
With big changes at Chelski, United and Everton next season we could see a power shift which would be in our favour. Our team needs strengthening no doubt about it, but we are starting to get our act together with lots of exciting new talent emerging. Coutinho,, Sturridge, Kelly, Wisdom, Suso, Sterling. not to mention some of the more experienced young players like Suarez. We have a chance of top 4 if we buy wisely.
United will still be a force but you never know, they could just crumble as they very nearly did last season. Until whiskey nose brought Scholes back early in November (ish) they were really showing signs of going into free fall. You never know what's going to happen next year
ps 11 seasons to develop a team, winning nothing and only ending up one place ahead of LFC is hardly what I call the CV of a born winner and leader. but I still like Moyes, especially now he's gone to United! Wehey!
Tel 1949
Moyes will do well at Man U, he's a top manager, those who think he won't are wrong and just wishful thinking.
If you think Moyes has flaws look at BR who only has one style of play in every game against all opposition. {Ed023's Note - BR has changed it up plenty of times this season, why do you just have to be so ignorant to reality? 433, 4231, 442, 352.. Just one style/formation?}
Cant compare BR with moyes.
1. Football phylosophy is differen for both of them. Moyes is too defensive and seriously BR is much mord of a tactatian. Br's team play a lot better football then moyes. Considering br is new mananger coming step by step from 2nd tire to the premire league. Means he had very less time to manage reading-swans-n now Liverpool. Compare that to moyes being with everton for 11 yrs. (much to their lack of ambition and not his great work. ) so the guys pointin to moyes finishing above and all should get a reality check.
.
Moyes to utd is a flop move.
And its not just a wishful thought.
Just compare this move with saf taking man udt charge. Back then Manchester United was nothing. down in the dumps. So even when perple nose finished 12th in his 2nd season. It was ok. Now just imgin moyes finishing. Outside top 10 or even top 4.
Just compare br move to Liverpool to this, no matter how quickly we want to get back up. All of us know we need some time. And even if we finish 5 next season. It would be ok. As long as we are progressing forward. So 7th and 5th (hope not. )would that be ok with man u and moyes?
Another eg. Avb to chevesky. This is for the guys who think that money would transform moyes to mourinho. Avb had trophy experiance still his results were not good enough for chelsea. Which are for spur now.
So don't mis tha trick, what i'm saying is convercely, good results for sturs are not enough for chevesky. So how in the world results for everton would be good enough for man u?
They have made a mistake managerial change is like marriage if it goes wrong neither u can live with it. Nor without it (divorce costs a lot. Just like that sacking a manager cost a lot. )
Yeah BR is full of his own self importance
While Moyes is a crude but effective manager
09 May 2013 21:41:16
Hi ed's is there any truth to the rumours that the club are lin up replacements for glen Johnson. {Ed019's Note - Full backs are being looked at, but as competition}
09 May 2013 21:27:27
Any interest in Matej vydra? Know he's on a goal drought but he's shown he has goals in him. Cheers {Ed019's Note - Udinese have no interest in selling him}
09 May 2013 21:04:02
Any thoughts on possible move for alonso? {Ed019's Note - He is staying at Madrid for now I think}
09 May 2013 21:01:14
Rafa taking over from Mancini at city, Suarez & Reina heading to Barca, with Tello and Villa coming to Anfield plus 20mill!
The Jazz
And the cow jumped over the moon
G
None of them will happen.
RAFA would do well at city
HELL I would do well at city with an endless transfer budget!
09 May 2013 20:59:24
A bit of MOTD fever but have LFC looked at Adam maher or Jozie altidore? Both fit the youth policy and maher is only 18-19 and in the holland national team. Altidore would also do well to boost the club profile in the US. Thanks eds
- slim {Ed019's Note - Maher is going to Ajax. Altidore is not going to be joining Liverpool}
Thanks a lot Ed, is the maher one confirmed? If not we should atleast enquire
-slim {Ed019's Note - He will replace Eriksen}
09 May 2013 20:36:21
Any chance of a return for Ryan babel think he could do really well under the right guidance {Ed019's Note - No}
Babel was better than some of our players.
The fact that Babel was not the worst player we have ever had seems an odd reason to resign him. We've had worse than Djimi Traore as well.
09 May 2013 20:28:00
Will we go for Scott Sinclair
I really think we will {Ed019's Note - Rodgers is interested}
And adieu to Stewart Downing I hope?
The Juicer
I really hope not. He is very average. {Ed019's Note - If we can't get Ince we'll try and get Sinclair I think}
God help us
My god Sinclair is awful, don't let this happen. we need 4 quality players,
majestic69 {Ed019's Note - It is unlikely but still possible}
I hope to god this does not happen. If BR wants width, he should look to sign Dzudzack or Mertens. Sinclair is definitely not an improvement on downing.
Sinclair is different to Downing though - more attacking, less defensive. And can go left or right. Not saying I want him or I think he's that good, but he does offer something difference down that side
09 May 2013 20:13:51
Any one afraid Moyes will take Fellaini with him to Utd like I am.
Coz he is huge in Midfield like dembele. And Utd mid is ***t so am not thrilled with Moyes going there. SAF was getting old and was due to slip but now we have a new sheriff who hates us as much as SAF but younger. With buckets loads of experience and Van persie as a striker and a possible Lewandowski. we need to re inforce this summer, get Diame for pits sake all this talk about how much bad he is blah, get a giant CDM and shrug of ppl. Its not that hard. Fellaini, Dembele, Diame is in that list. and he scores goals, plus he is cheap.
Couldn't agree more. Him and remy for combined under 10 mill would suit us nicely. Remy can also operate out wide. When we get higher up the league we can get some better quality
Ramo
Fellaini is nothing like Dembele. He is just a big thug, and if he goes to UTD, I won't be worried in the slightest. Diame is good, but he is no Dembele.
The real AG
God stop that felleni is not a steve g. No dis re spect but everton are channeled to play around that big fella. Except the physical game. Headers and knock downs. what he does for a team? Manutd isn't everton.
And all this revange theory abt the hate moyes has for us just like perple nose. And he would take a sweet revange sounds like a movie scean.
Moyes is in for a bigger ride. Like he never had been. He better hold onto his pants then looking for us.
Man utd are in great truouble. Not my wishful thoughts but a cold fact. World knows it that this man u teams from the past two seasons is by far the worst team of theirs. Except the forwards. The squad is agein. Rvp is arund 30. Rooney/nani wants out. Gigs and scoles won't be arund. Rio is as good as gone. So basicaly moyes is going to built a new squad. Transition period is hitting them. So it won't be easy.
09 May 2013 19:28:04
Hey eds how's y'all doing? Have any of you heard or know more about Man City and Rodgers? I hope I get reply saying it's rubbish!. Thanks and take care you lot ;-D {Ed019's Note - Macca says that he is 100% sure that he is on their shortlist, and I have no reason to disagree with him}

Hi Eds,
Could Liverpool be about to make a move for Alex sandro from Porto?
Thanks
Marc {Ed019's Note - Well he's been scouted by us}
09 May 2013 19:10:19
What a season next season promises to be! going to be a big summer and the race for the top 4 and the title is wide open! Top 4 is obviously the realistic option for Liverpool but with most teams above us starting the season with a new manager we need to take advantage of possible slow starts by teams. I think this is the best chance we are going to get off getting back to where we belong. I'm still weary of Moyes as United manager though. On one hand I'm thinking it's too much pressure for him but on the other hand I'm thinking with a healthy transfer budget he could turn out to be great. let's hope it's the former and one thing is for sure he will never be as good as Sir Alex which gives me hope. going to be a cracker of a season and I'm looking forward to it!
Cheers,
LS7. {Ed019's Note - Love the optimism}
09 May 2013 19:45:18
His nickname at preston was " dithering dave ", because of his lack of decisivness in the transfer market. What will he be like at united?

Still talking about United I see Waro, perhaps it is you that is worried? ;)
'Dithering Dave' and 'David Brent', I'm not sure which is better! I guess we'll see next season.

Hi eds, what do you think of this as a possible summer window:
Ins:
Toby Alderwiereld and christain Eriksen (20 million + Assaidi
Stefan De Vrij (4 Million)
Hatem Ben Arfa (8 million)
Overall spent: £32 million
Outs:
Andy Carroll (15 million)
Martin Skrtel (10 million)
Ossouma Assaid (part of the Ajax deal)
Jay Spearing (1 Million)
Dani Pacheco (2 Million)
Overall income: £28 Million
Net spend: £4 Million
thanks eds {Ed002's Note - Not so sure.}
Probably play'em in reserves so long that they either leave or get depressed and play in the championship. like so many others. When is Morgan going to be given a chance??
Your prices are very unrealistic!
13reds
Morgan on this seasons performances is not good enuf he has stagnated this year big time.
09 May 2013 18:14:36
I think this summer will be pivotel to LFC's future.
With Man U change in Mgr it will give a chance to catch up.
Rodgers and his transfer commitee need to desperatly get the transfers right this summer in order to keep up with the pack of Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester clubs.
A squad fit for future champions to come.
BR does not have a committee
I so wish that was true, but before we catch utd. We've got Everton, spurs, arsenal, chelsea, city to catch up. I think we'll make progress with the transfer window this summer.
He does now. keep up.
09 May 2013 20:53:48
If we keep Reina and Suarez and replace Brad Jones and Downing! And buy 3 quality players we are already a top 4 side! Forget about everton can't even beleive you are so clueless with them Just loosing thier manager with a squad of ageing players and their decent players leaving soon! We can easily pass spuds and arsenal with some consistency and most our games this season prove that! We dropped 4 points against city and arsenal that was in the bag! We got goals wrongley ruled out for offside vs everton, swansea, westham (6 points)
And on any other day the reading game would have ended 5-0!
I know all teams go through the same but we are never lucky and with a bit of luck this season we would have been right up there fighting for top 4 despite the bad start to the season! Run to your blue cave mate!

09 May 2013 17:06:51
Hey All,
I look forward to next season with anxiety more than hope. If Wenger leaves to PSG and Mancini also from Man City, then we must realize that all top 7 clubs' owners will have a chance to steady their ships, and make a foundation for the long term future with young managers except Chelsea.
It means that these managers would have been at their clubs for maximum of an year, and THE CLUBS success will depend on who is shown more backing and trust by owners for the long run.
Tottenham - AVB - 1 Year
Liverpool - BR - 1 year
Arsenal - SOMEONE - 0 Year
Man City - SOMEONE - 0 year
Man Utd - Moyes - 0 Year
Chelsea - Mourinho - Some history.
I personally believe it is good for the English football, as the battle lines have been drawn for one club to go forward and achieve/dominate English football again provided they are backed by good football business model.
Looking forward to next year.
mgz
I think Wenger will stay at Arsenal.
The real AG {Ed002's Note - For a year.}
Well it won't be your shambles of a club will it.
ED002, so Wenger will leave at the end of next season? :O
The real AG {Ed002's Note - Yes.}
Thanks for your info ED002. Where is he going?

09 May 2013 17:50:49
I really think we need to take the focus off united and everton with the moyes situation and focus on ourselves.
Going round and saying they are both screwed is childish because we have for a number of years now. But there are a number of positives to take into the summer. Having the likes of suarez, sturridge, coutinho in are team next season makes me rather excited. And who knows what other additions there will possibly be. Personally I think we need 4 players at least. We need another attacking player and most of all for me, a tough tackling midfielder. Lucas for me is not strong enough in this position.
cheers
Danny
Why Danny? Don't the Mancs and Bluenoses 'focus' to much on us, whether we win/lose or draw?

09 May 2013 19:06:58
Correct AG well said lad.
Waro
Waro and AG are right we should focus on them rather than our own club
Waro and AG are right we should focus on them rather than our own club
=================================
Yes of course, because this is how our club will progress, by wishing United and Everton crumble. but hold on, we need Chelsea, Arsenal and spurs to fall as well, and I don't like the look of Swansea and WBA, we need them to collapse also. well while we at it we may as well wish all the other 19 clubs have some sort of terminal problems and Top 4 will be ours for sure.
Roy
No name, 'Our' focus on the club has never and will never be lost. However that does not mean we can't have an opinion on other matters. And for all I know you could be one of those players out, FSG out, BR out no name posters.
The real AG
Guys take a chil pil. we are just taking a shot at thes poor lads. (arent we?) just like they did at us. During our time last yr.
Its not a serious. Just take a laugh out of it. U would love it.
Besides abt our progress its going steadyly. And the signs br is showin. with sturridge and coutinho. Its certain that the are few exciting players coming in. So just relax.
09 May 2013 17:29:52
Moyes leaves Everton just as it is reported they are finally getting takenover by the sixth richest man in the world.

Few rumours flying about on twitter.
Rogers not interested in signing CBs as he feels Kelly and Wisdom can play there.
David Villa and Skrtel swop deal keeps popping up, Barca in need of a strong centre half.
Remy from QPR.
Wanyama.
and Possible options for a RB as Glen Johnson future isn't 100%.
Only rumours I have seen on a few seperate occasions on there, just sharing!
What a load of rubbish made up by someone who hasn't a clue
09 May 2013 16:26:02
We need to move fast this summer and secure deals for Aleksander Dragovich and Christian Eriksen asap.
Mick D
Dragovich looks like a very promising defender and unlike Coates, he is quick, strong and very aggressive.
The real AG
Though, Coates still was not given a proper chance to shine.
If Coates was 'given a chance', the only thing that would be shining is the son his arse as he lay on his back.
No disrespect to the kid, but he was not going to make it.

09 May 2013 16:23:33
I'm really starting to bore of all this Fergie/Moyes nonsense. The fact of the matter is Utd have very strong squad, if they are to fail it will be because the physcological make up of a team which has been indoctrined in the whiskynose way may not be able to handle a new way. But for goodness sake let's concentrate on our own problems/future. i. e. 4 quality players short and the now almost dire need for a new or, most likely, revamped Anfield. I have always thought we will be top four next season even before yesterdays circus opened for business. My reasons for thinking this are too long winded to go into here, but then my doctor told me I'm always right and he should know, he gives me the magic pills.

Yeh its a nightmare, this guy took a club with no money and a small squad and still they finsish above your lot, imagine what he will do with a great squad of champions and a healthy budget.
As for you lot, are you even in europe next year with your great manager who has won everything?
TWENTY
09 May 2013 17:03:52
David Moyes needed 11 years to finish above a Liverpool side that is at its lowest times. I bet it will never happen again!
The pressure of being Everton and Man United manager is totally different.
Who knows, he may be able to operate under small budget but may crack under a big budget and fail!
Indy Kevin {Ed023's Note - He managed Everton to finish above us in '05 and '12 and looks to do so again in '13}
Yeah okay but we were busy winning the CL in 2005 and like I said before they only finished above us at our darkest times. I doubt they will finish above this season as I think they will lose and we will win the remaining two matches!
Indy Kevin
Trophys are a measure of success, moyes hasn't won one in 11 years. Rodgers hasn't won one with us in a year.
I just can't stop smiling :D
The real AG
Moyes is a great manager and he will prove it at United
True ed but what have we won since 05? Even laudrup has won a trophy with swansea in his 1st season with the swans on less money than the toffees who have also spent their fair ahare with a few players for peanuts from fergy {Ed023's Note - Fa cup finalist twice winning once, Champs league finals twice winning once and Carling Cup.. Are you a long term LFC fan or have you just come aboard?}
Moyes is a very good manager and we'll find out if he's great at utd. I respect him immensely, but there are no more excuses.
09 May 2013 15:44:11
We should buy Wayne Rooney, he looks a good player?
Hahah.

09 May 2013 15:22:51
Dreading him like we did Fergie? Highly unlikely. I'm not particularly pleased Moyes is going, I think he'll do a decent job, but to assume that he'll be Fergie's puppet is assuming Fergie is going to sit on an iron throne and be the dictator of United, he isn't. He'll be making decisions but he will be part of a large board who are running United as a business. They're not going to bow to Fergie's whim just because of who he is, remember he isn't going to be in the media spotlight anymore. He won't be the front facing man when it comes to the team. Moyes won't be a patch on Ferguson, he'll be a stop gap. The entire shift of managers will work to the advantage of teams who have a manager already in place.

I find it unreal to read that as fegie has retired people think we can storm forward, at the moment don't think it would make any difference to us if utd sold all there players and put in a sunday league team we still wouldn't win the league have people forgotten about city, chelsea, arsenal, spurs, everton they are all above us and not just by 1 or 2 points having said that I do believe under Rodgers we r and will continue to improve and eventually be pushing to compete for major honours again just think people should open there eyes a little and get over the utd obsession as there is more to beat than just them sad but its the truth that many a team have flown past us in recent years and also by writing all this imo just gives the loud mouthed mancs reason to gloat if they r to fall from grace which I hope they do sit back and wait for it to happen but they r not the only team we need to catch but in Rodgers we may have our very own legend in the making give him time and I believe we will get ther
09 May 2013 13:05:16
Some people need to wake up if they think UTD are suddenly going to struggle. There is absolutely no comparison between what’s happened to us and what they are doing.
After over 2 decades of domination LFC did not use the time and success to expand and enhance the stadium, and failed massively to realise the financial benefits of corporate hospitality.
Running the club like an armature organisation, and not realising the potential of global advertising and sponsorship deals greatly limited the funds the club generated.
KK left suddenly with no plan in place for a replacement, and a seriously ageing team, not to mention the lack of squad depth.
Our current manager was hired after just one season in the top flight from a mid table side, after a long drawn out interview process.
Utd have dominated for 2 decades in which time, they have expanded their stadium to the biggest in the country and fully realised the potential of corporate hospitality.
They quickly became a global brand taking full advantage of every opportunity to increase their fan base and Revenue.
Their manager and club have had a long term plan for a replacement, he is leaving them as champions with a good variation of experience and youth in what is a large competitive squad.
The likely manager has been identified well in advance, and it appears the deal has been sorted already; he has spent many years in the top flight where he is regarded as been successful.
Given Moyes sued Rooney a few years back the current situation will have been well planned for, and as he held them for ransom for £250k a week, it is inevitable they would cash in on him. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, the Milan’s, Juve, Ajax and now Chelsea all have a good infrastructure, good fan base and are the power houses in their respective leagues. They also change their managers regularly and yet continue to dominate their leagues.
Instead of taking delight in this week’s news we just be looking at exactly how a successful football club/business should be run.
And here is a worrying thought, Fergie got lucky with Aberdeen as Ed 001 once mentioned as the city had the north sea cash at the time and he was able to compete with the Glasgow 2. We imploded just as the big TV money was starting in the game and he was able to take full advantage. Moyes has done a great job with little cash and none of that luck, he may just prove to be the better manager? Then imagine, Mourhinio at Chelsea, Rafa at city and Wenger at the Gunners, now who fancies top 4 for us soon?
Possibly the account of history with the least facts ever posted on this page
I give moyes 6 months
Utd have given him 6 years. That shows a level of trust in the guy.
09 May 2013 14:02:52
Hello reds I was just wondering why you are all over the moon about Fergie calling it a day. I am actually looking forward to a change of management at Everton think we need it, but do you not realise that Fergie is only going up stairs, they are bringing in a manager that will love nothing more than beating Liverpool 11 years he has being driving Everton on to better you, now this man is with another one of your rivals, only difference is he has huge squad and will have huge funds at his disposal you are very foolish to think you will close the gap with Utd cause Moyes in charge remember he always wanted to overhaul you with us imagine what he will be like with them Moyes is going to be a real pain in the arse for you lot in the coming years don't be fooled by Moyes appointment with utd they will win more titles and cups under him you will end dreading him like you did Fergie fact. Stef the blue
Moyes wanted to, but he never did. Your post is just embarrassing.
The real AG
Hes never won a match at Liverpool chelsea arsenal or tottenham, has never won a trophy and his biggest achievement is finishing above Liverpool once but even then we won a trophy and knocked him out the cup
Sorry but a fool would think this is good mews for either united or everton {Ed023's Note - They have finished above us twice and if it stays the same this season that would a third time}
He never won anything even pompy won something with Harry they will do well with him as the boss but no were near as well and he is under 100times more pressure also be interesting nobody can predict what is going to happen fact
You won't pass your GCSEs with that grammar.
What a surprise a bitter extolling the virtue of their first team on our page.
Once a Blue always a Manc
09 May 2013 15:00:07
Sounds like your trying to convince yourself that will happen. Moyes is the most overrated manager in europe. You will never win anything now, and you won't be able to live your dreams through man u like you have done for the last 20 odd years.
Good luck down the bottom with martinez next season.
Waro
09 May 2013 15:07:59
Stef the blue, moyes will be lucky to stay even 2 years there, united are club who are expected to win trophys not finish midtable, imagine the likes of wenger, city, and special one coming back how hard will it make for a manager who is famous for bottling without any pressure now will face pressure all the time from their fans, media, rival managers etc, at the sametime win championships haha, MOURINHO is the name who scares hell out of united and fergie forget moyes who is a midtable manager at best, oh and you should be more worried about your club as relligation is on next season haha (^^, )
The fact that you believe a change of management from a manager who has built a squad for 11 years, when you have no funds to change the squad at all without selling, shows your lack of knowledge on football so no-one expects you to understand. Howevre - the reason we are happy that Fergie is leaving is that he is the best manager ever. Whatever happens from now, whoever comes in, will be a step down at least in the short term, giving other teams a more competitive shot
Teach me how to see the future stef! please. looking forward to next season an the competition this will create between all the clubs, this isn't just Man u, Everton, Liverpool. Maybe you should realize that.
09 May 2013 15:25:59
Because Moyes is no Ferguson!
And you lot call us bitter hmmm Stef the blue
You came on our page to have a pop at us over a thing where we are neutral observers, displaying both how bitter and how obsessed you are. Particularly in that you talked utter rubbish. Thanks for proving our point - again I know you don't quite understand it but trust us, you coming back with comments like that just adds to our amusement at your expense no end
You would think Everton fans would be dismayed at Moyes jumping ship. Instead they sort of wear it like a badge of honour. Utd might be worse of with Moyes in charge but Everton will be screwed. I guess they haven't thought of that?
The Irish Rover
Personally I think Moyes will do just fine at United for them (unfortunately). I think this is far more of a problem for Everton than it is for United as I think Moyes is a very good manager and has done well for Everton.
Not sure why people say nonsense like 'Moyes has never beaten us at Anfield'. Seems completely irrelevant to me as it's not like he's putting himself in the lineup as a starting striker and I think it's fair to say that the level of player he'll have at United is at a bit of higher level on average than what he had at Everton.
So Moyes will be keeping Rodgers company in mid table obscurity next year!
I hope Moyes does really well and continues the great tradition he had at Neverton, never winning a game at anfield and not winnin a trophy. He will take Baines and fellaini head with him

Liverpool will buy Michu (17), Benteke (18) and remy (7) in place of suarez (42).
And what about our other players they not going to get a chance no just sign 3new people rather than two pure quality players?
So it takes 3 players to replace 1? You can only play 1 at a time!
I would not want Benteke as he does not fit our style of play. Remy has not done a lot to warrant a chance being taken on him. Michu would be good but I don't think we could sign him and he may possibly be a bit slow.
Simple being a manager isn't it.

Footy manager ftw?
I'd pass on Remy, 7 seems a bit young.
09 May 2013 12:57:13
I was pretty optimistic for next season but even more so now. utd chelsea and possibly man city all getting new managers and the steady improvement were making gives me fresher hope for a very good season. If we can hit the ground running then who knows what will happen but were very much in the running for top 4 imo.
So it takes managers from other teams to leave to make us improve? Get real! I would prefer us to get better, not other teams to get worse.
Put it this way Mushroom - let's say everyone in the league gets a rating out of 10, and right now we're as 6. 5. United are a 10, Everton are a 7. If Everton become a 5, United become a 9 and we become a 7. 5, a reasonable and expected improvement by us comparative to those two teams looks like a giant leap forward. We still need to improve and improve by quite a bit, but if other clubs can not be as good as well it'll help (and help stimulate further improvement)
09 May 2013 12:55:40
So let's be honest, with Manchester United and everton losing managers, will it give us more chance of qualifacation to the CL in the 2014 season, maybe but we need a realy good start to next season, and that may be in the hands of the new fixtures, so let's hope we hit the ground running next season and take full advantage of others in there settling in period. Red or dead
Why will we be more likely to qualify now that 3 of the top 4 teams will be replacing their manager?
Mushroom, why ask a stupid question like that?
09 May 2013 12:46:50
I'm interested to know people. as fans, it would appear we have all written off Skrtels future at the club already. He would after all, likely command a fee that would be of good value to us, and is currently not starting. However, he is still a very good player, and top teams have been looking at him. If he could rediscover his form, would you give him a chance? Or has that ship sailed? For me, he need to hit the gym and bulk up. Despite that hard man look, he is actually very weak. If he did this, he could be our brute defender to rough the other team up in the grity games. I hear he is on very high wages though.
YNWA! (Adam)
09 May 2013 13:33:08
Mate Skrtel is in my humble opninion one of the main reasons of us dropping countless points! He lacks that courage or bravery which is one of the most important skills in a defender in the way we play! He runs backwards when someone runs with the ball at him and puts in a tackle when its to late, hulks goal in russia running back 20 yards and turning his back instead of running towards the player and putting a challenge, jay rodriguez ran 40 yards with the ball with skrtel waiting for ever to put a challenge in and by then he had scored! Against City I know reina gets the blame for that equaliser but just watch the goal again and you will se he just let aguero jog past him to the ball, for me he is more at fault, there would have been no danger at all if he ran and cleared the ball!
He will play the last 2 games now since etter agger is out and I hope he has learned from the countless mistakes now! If he wants to move there is no wonder why he has been shaky all season! 10-12 million and he is gone am afraid!
Malak
Just has to decide if he wants to fight for his place like the rest did at the start yeno
I really do not think he is the answer. He dives into tackles way too often rather than stay on his feet and give away way to many free kicks.
I think it's time for him to leave. He had a couple of good seasons, but has been mostly inconsistent, not only throughout a season, but throughout a game too.
For a 'Hard-Man', he has never really dominated any of the Drogba, Benteke, Holt, Jones, Lukaku type forwards, infact they always have a field day against him.
Time for a change I think.
The real AG
He's a big soft arse. Yossi Benayoun could over power Skrtel
09 May 2013 12:41:05
I can't understand why everyone is so overjoyed that BFT has retired. IMO not a lot will change. BFT will go upstairs but will probably still be in charge of transfers and team line ups, that's why they're bringing in his puppet Moyes. The only thing that will change is that we won't have to see ol' whiskey nose' screwed up face chewing gum on the sidelines every game. Oh, there is an upside after all!
BELIEVER
I think that whilst he still will have power (possibly quite considerable power) his lack of visible presence means he cannot possibly be the influence he was before. He won't be on the training ground every day, he won't be picking the teams and he won't have those mid-match master-strokes that change games - it's just not feasible
09 May 2013 15:28:01
That will ne more fantastic, only one word BUSBY
You lot are priceless, a hopeless team and no chance of winning the league and still so bitter. Regardless of who is manager of the twenty times champions we will always finsish above your mid table no european football s**t squad.
Enjoy your end of season Xmas party as usual.
I think the manager does make a difference 33 of Utd's 39 trophies were won by Busby and Ferguson
Busby had to come back ater two years because it all went pear shaped no chance of fergie being able to as his health is getting no better good luck with that cockney glory hunters

Liverpool linked with a young winger called El Nabi, he's got lots of skills but lacks in end product.
Assaidi
09 May 2013 12:16:36
This is what i'd like to see in the summer:
In: Wanyama, Erikssen, De Vrij, Tello
Out: Carroll, shelvey, downing, coates, assaidi, spearing, pacheco, wilson, flanagan
loan: morgan, coady
could all be done around zero cost and gives us 2-3 missing links that go straight into 1st 11.
Shushyboy
So we still have no options out wide and only one natural winger in the team?
Jesus christ Sam, you do bang on. If you knew anything about football as such as you think you do then you would know that we don't use wingers but more wide forwards who cut in. Plus our full backs provide the width anyway.
BornRed78
Well we've used Downing every match for half a season as a winger, used Sterling before him as a winger and half this page bangs on about how rubbish our full backs are every other match, so evidently they aren't providing width.
And we use the players we have, and what we currently have is a lot of wide forwards. It's been shown that they can be marked out of the game several times this season including West Ham and Aston Villa - instead of going with the stupid option of just lumping the ball downfield to a big target, surely options that fit more naturally in our style like having people that can drag wide and pulling people out of position? Have a go at me not understanding football - try understanding common sense first. What we have has been good but limited. Add more options instead of more of the same that can be blocked in the exact same way
Common sense Sam, are you kidding me? This is football, you're clearly over thinking everything here. Yes sometimes our WF do get marked out of game but that's football Sam. They also scored a lot of goals or get assists. So I'm not really getting your point. We're never going to play the perfect match and win every game.
Anyway playing with wingers is not our style of play as I'm sure you know. Yes Downing is a natural winger but he's playing on the right to cut in his favoured left foot to either shoot or link up with the other front two (not to constantly provide crosses), same applies for Sterling and Courtino.
And whoever said Johnson and Enrique are no good then clearly need their heads reading.

I don't. I actually prefer Everton being a good side. If they had him in charge and ended up like Wigan scrapping every year (or worse, and get relegated) then beating them won't feel as good. Merseyside prides itself on having the red and blue halfs both at the top of the English game. Brothers in arms if you will. I don't want to see them do bad, I just want to see us do better than them!

I for one am hoping Rooney stays at Manchester United he's the most overrated footballer since Carrick add to that he's over weight I hope they don't cash in on him he would be easily replaced and they could get triple 'a Thatchers funeral' for him
09 May 2013 12:09:08
Been around the web and the amount of Utd fans doing their best to convince themselves and all who will listen that Moyes is going to be the new messiah and all will continue as usual is hysterical. He MIGHT do well but there are certainly no guarantees and one thing which is clear is that Utd fans are by no means convinced by this potential appointment. For me I'm not convinced either, yes he will provide stability but is that enough? We all know the difference between Utd and a lot of other teams has been Fergie and the same can't be said about Moyes can it? Personally I'm looking forward to watching what comes next, I see Liverpool being well placed for the next few years and we will get better I'm sure but as for that lot this is what Man U fans have rightly dreaded for years and the fact that the fans are now clearly panicking is great.
Everyone said the same about dalglish and rogers

I know you talk some rubbish (from reading your previous posts) but I've saved this gem as it's such a cracker!
So we're going to be outside the top 4 next season? And let me guess, it will be LFC's year next year?
HB
p. s. how does replying to your post show I'm worried? You'll have to explain the logic on that one
p. p. s. you should be thankful to United really, you might have an outside chance of overtaking Everton for 6th next season without Davey!

Waro
Waro is typical of what we expect from you 'knowledgable' Liverpool supporters, you are a laughing stock! Moyes took a club with no financial muscle and a small club and this season will be the third time they finish above your no hopers.
THAT IS A FACT. now imagine what he will do with a squad of champions and a healthy budget. Your the one s**ting your pants.
Enjoy europe next year. where are you going on your holidays?

I predict that even if a person like Waro was in charge Utd would still finish above your bunch of no hopers.
Your dillusions give the rest of us a good laugh, every year is your year, until Xmas.

Dear Manc Men and Women, think of it this way, If Moyes had taken over at Man City, Chelsea or Arsenal, would you be shivering in fear? Thought not!

Hi eds, do you know if there's still an interest to sign Inan heard he's been having a good season and remember you mentioning him not long back or has interest wandered? Also with Alderweireld and Williams being ruled out by many who looks likely for defence or is it still too early to speculate? Cheers again {Ed023's Note - I assume the scouting team are working on targets. Ed002 suggested that we had watched Inan whether we follow up on that interest remains to be seen. Ed001 has been told we have scouted a number of left backs including Porto's Alex Sandro}

09 May 2013 10:11:16
Hello Ed (s)
Fergie leaving? Great. Moyes in? GREATER lol.
Thats just banter, no one can be certain he won't do well. Minimum war chest at the bitters and he's managed to compete for Europe couple of seasons now. Plus, the pensioner has just moved upstairs.
However, it will make it a very interesting season. He could very well fail miserably. Playing City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Ourselves will Be the toughest thing he'll ever have witnessed and may falter.
On the goalkeeping subject, City's number 2 Pantilimon claims he may leave in search of first team football. Fared very well in the cup run. We also have a team of scouts consisting of a few ex City's. £5-8 million would do I'd think. I wouldn't get Mignolet, think he can be very poor In his off days. Sorenson anyday.

Most of us are'nt stupid, we know we're very far away and are'nt in the best position to take advantage as are the other clubs you just mentioned but you have to understand that the sole reason Man U have had that much success isn't because you've had great teams its because of Fergie. Many many many times our team and others have easily been as good if not better than yours but the difference has been you know who, he drove average Man U teams to glory so many times that he drove us all to frustration. Not saying that you have'nt had good teams because of course you have but he has been the real difference and now he's going its a massive relief to us all and it WILL bring Utd back to the chasing pack. The biggest accolade I can give to Fergie is that I would rate him right up there with Shankly and Paisely, that god he's going. (Post in Utd banter also if you like).
At least we get Howard Webb on a free at the end of the season
09 May 2013 11:33:21
you lot were 11th in 1986 remember. if fergie is as good as he is made out to be you will be weaker. imo whoever takes over has 1 of the easiest jobs in football everything done for you and you have your pick of all the best talent in the world everything is in place unlike ourselves so no I don't think you will crumble r we will suddenly jump ahead of you but it will be a good TIME FOR THE LIKESOF CITY CHELSEA WHO can compete with you financially.

Ancolletti is almost most certainly the new real madrid manager, not Benitez!
The club just announsed that they have not been in any kind of contact with Barca for reina!

09 May 2013 01:57:01
All those good center backs out there but we'll end up with another overhyped and overpriced british player won't we es?
Because we are pwned by people who haven't a clue and I want to support rodgers but he needs to remember who he's managing, williams is not as good as kelly so him replacing carra? Having a laugh, our club is run by clowns
Williams, allen, borini, hendo (improved but still not worth 20 mil), downing, carroll, adam, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR CLUB? WHO BUYS THIS KRAP?
The team we could of had if we was runand manages properly
All our equity from players sales flush down the loo
Red and eds can u look me in theface and tell me i'm harsh?
I can't look you in the eye but I can say I think you are being harsh. There has definetly been some poor dealings, but some good ones as well. Also, we have purchased players that Rodgers hasn't worked with and have purchased players from outside of the UK. I think a little too much is made of both.

09 May 2013 00:20:20
Does anyone else agree that Enrique offers virtually nothing going forward.
No, he offers a lot - you should re-watch some of the goals this season. He does, however, get caught in dead-ends way too often and has to sprint back to cover his position.
Are you dizzy? He has assisted and scored a handful of goals this season he's our most effective and creative defender we have
08 May 2013 23:38:31
As much as it pains me to say it we have to be careful in thinking all will now fail at United.
Remember what Paisley did & won after Shankly!
We have to focus on our own club and not hope for the others to fail.
IncaMan
09 May 2013 01:05:24
Mate this is completely different to paisley, when paisley came it was an evolution rather then transition, paisley was the right hand of shannkly and knew everything about the club, at the sametime helping shanks for strategies to beat teams as he was the man which shanks used to discuss about strategies, players, scouting etc and was at the club for more then 20 years as back room staff before taking from shanks as manager, now moyes situation is completely different, its a transition from no pressure to one of the biggest boots to fill in world football at the sametime every decision, move, tactics etc will be judged by media, fans and players with ferguson that's how he will be in constant pressure, this is a united side which has been successful for 25 years which makes difficult/burden for any manager forget moyes who is a midtable manager at best!
I'd rather beat a club, than have the falter. Why take glory in beating the down-n-out. United will carry on business as usual. Whether that be Moyes or an unknown, they'll carry on. Even as a Liverpool fan, I hope to see them strong. The taste of victory will be all the sweeter when the day comes that we topple them personally.
Of course they won't instantly start to fail. But they have lost the best manager of all time - it's got to be easier to beat them now
If they don't win the league or a trophy next year then the knives will be out pointing directly at Moyes and the Glazers no doubt. let's hope so.

Will be really glad to see the back of you know who down the other end of the lancs.
Whovever gets the job, probably Moyes, they will be on a hiding to nothing:-)
I have a clear vision of whisky nose interfering with the Managers position and making it untenable much the same as Busby did in their demise all them years ago.
I see that sour faced old git reinstated sometime in January/February of next season, dislocated hip and all waving his walking stick at the officials.
Hope I'm wrong and Moyes has moderate success initially (league cup) to keep him in the job :-))))
Whatever happens, today is a good day for LFC fans.
Moyes has done remarkably well with a very tight budget. With the financial backing he will have at Man U and with Fergie whispering in his ear, he will be very successful unfortunately.
Anyone who thinks Manchester United's success over the past 20 years is purely down to Ferguson is totally naive.
Then who is behind teh success? he's been there the longest.
Kid, you keep clutching at straws mate whilst you haggle over 6th place.
AJH
Disagree coz. He WAS the main reason they are successful. All the tricks he used to pull, influencing the media or the referees or the FA or putting pressure on the opposition players and managers he finds a threat.
Moyes won't be able to provide that cunningness (for the lack of a better word).
So that little bit of extra advantage they get from everyone else is GONE.
And of-course, that's without going into his MAIN job, the influence he would have on the current squad and the future players he might recruit, would he be able to command fear into the players there like Fergie did? I think not.
The problem UTD have is that they have been TOO successful and anyone and I mean anyone who comes will be looked upon as a Step down when compared to his achievement.

Will be more gutted that man u will now take a nose dive trophy wise than losing there manager because blues live there dreams through man u. FACT.
Waro
Just because a manager does well on a tight budget will have no bearing on how well he will do with funds to spend. There is a massive difference in trying to win at all costs at Everton and winning with a degree s style at Utd. Having Fergie chirping in his ear can only honder Moyes imo.
Tje Irish Rover
You say I'm chatting bubbles, Waro? I just read your attempt at a paragraph three times and I still have no idea what you're trying to say. You are setting yourself to look like an even bigger plonker than normal if you think Man United will deteriorate just because Rudolph has retired.

I see you punctuate with the word ''FACT''

An sick of the media and those sycophantic pundits over eulogising about red nose. Ok he was successful - but very lucky to have a group of young players who would dominate English football for years.
I don't rate the man at all - credit for his success - but that's it.
He's not a patch on Shanks nor Paisley.

You don't sound bitter at all.

Stunning, 'I don't rate him at all'. Bitter doesn't begin to describe you

Jesus, M.
I think even the hardest Liverpool supporters will acknowledge the guys success.
True, he's a disrespectful *******, his mind-games drive me up the wall. But, take nothing away from his time as a manager. They've had some good squads put together over the years, yes. But, who do you think put them together?
If you're prepared to blame a manager for having a poor squad, then at least have the good grace to pay respect to somebody who puts together a good one!

Do u think we could go for Scott Sinclair as Brendan rated him highly when he was at Swansea.
Think he could be quite cheap and would improve the squad {Ed002's Note - I don't know.}
He's not going to set the world on fire! I don't rate him in that Sterling is probably better already.

Daveybootle. I don't post on a Liverpool site with utd fans in mind nor do I feel the need to impress them, they are the original bitters thier jealousy was there years befor Fergie. He fueld the jealousy, bitterness with his obsession to overtake us. As for Hillsborough I am sure our club would have shown the same respect had it been vice versa. REDThROUGH

I have waited a long time for this day. SAF retiring certainly mays you feel old when you put into perspective how they have been successful with him and how long we haven't. I said to my wife, that this guy has been in the way for more than half my life. So good luck to him, not a person a respect, but a great football manager.
So here's hoping that this is the start of the end of their reign and they become like the West Indies, Australia or dare I say it the next Liverpool.
What next? Who cares about them but I do know that the expectation levels will be a burden around their neck similar to LFC.
So LFC need to seize the moment, probably take a risk and spend more than planned for this summer and have " a right good go" as another poster said earlier. The owners need to realise that Utd won games they should have drawn just because the winning desire he gave them. That is now gone, so let's get a good team and put Utd new Mgr under pressure straight away. We need to get them to change managers regularly like CFC and another team whose name I can't remember. This is a great time to take advantage so get the cheque book out, find new investors and Anfield will find its voice once again.

Just my view on things. Congrats to Sir Alex on an amazing career, I have never liked him but to disrespect him and his achievements is to disrespect how hard it is to achieve those things and therefore devalues them. I value the league, the cups and Europe, so full respect. I think they are smart in appointing Moyes under SAF as DOF but let's see what happens. There is a part of me that would like him to have stuck around long enough for us to knock him off our perch.
On our season, I think we have begun to build well with a younger and less overpaid squad with lots of youngsters showing good potential. I would give BR a B for this season given the challenges of a step up and a rebuild. We now have to learn to turn games we dominate from draws into wins and certainly need to improve against the teams above us.
