Liverpool Rumours Archive January 11 2012

 

Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

11 Jan 2012 23:35:42
On the 2nd half performance, I think we can agree that it wasn't pretty.

Having said that, I think it was a reflection of the game 8 days ago. Kenny has looked at it and thought they are particularly clinical infront of goal and with us being open in attack it was not going to go well.

Many have criticised Kenny's tactics recently, but here he had a game plan and executed it. It was about not losing. It was about playing it like a European game. He did just that.

Fair enough, we are Liverpool we expect this and expect that. Let's not forget how we had 65% of the ball and were camped in their half for practically all of the last game we played. You can't say you were feeling better than now after losing 3-0.

Also, it was only 45mins. The way I see it, with the three games we have played them now it's been first 25mins at our place and the second 45mins here that they have dominated. That leaves 170mins that we've had most the ball and held our own.

Be proud. Be LFC.

D-Day(1892)


Take each game on its merit though, city were there for the taking tonight, second half was an embarassment, what message does it send out to the players when we just set out to defend, six or seven defenders on the pitch there. We paid them far to much respect in the second half, set up like a championship side, we were playing city's reserves, not Barcelona. Don't think b'coz we won that the end justified the means. David.


Totally agree D-Day. It was a very professional performance. No doubt KK will be slagged off for having 6 defenders on at the end but like ya said we seemed to outplay them and got beat 3-0 only a few days ago. The bottom line is we won. Not pretty but effective. I'm a lot happier tonight than when we played them last. Lets hope for a coupla goals at anfield in the 2nd leg and see the job done in style...but i'll take a 0-0 to be honest. We're on the up redmen and i know its only the league cup but silverware breeds confidence. Imagine if we get to the final and play a championship team and say for example Andy scores and we win...it'll do his confidence no end of good to score at wembley in a final. Too much negativity attatched to our club at the minute but i must say our travelling fans tonight were beyond brilliant. Vocal all the way thru. Stand together redmen YNWA

I dont see what the issue is with some people. seems they would rather have kpet attacking and secured a draw. city WERE taken. We beat the top team in the league away from home. Yes if we attacked we could have had more, likewise we could have conceded. dont care about their player being out - we had 2 of our best out ( Lucas and suarez) as well a gerrrad just getting match fit. its a good result and we've given ourslves a great chance of making the final. stop moaning and get behind the team.


The tactics are rightly IMO being moaned about because for years we have whinged when teams like Stoke etc sit behind the ball. When we do it's tactical genius? It was a total lack of faith in our ability to play football against City.

It's been said for years that smaller clubs do this becuase the players they have are not good enough to go toe to toe with the bigger clubs. After spending 100 million these tactics are not fitting of a club who have Champions League qualification ambitions. The fact that city were hardly putting us under real pressure just made the whole 6 defenders decision ever stranger.

Billy


Well said D-Day. We rarely play so defensive, but when needs must its good to see KK doing what we have to. Very European like performance and look where thats got us in the past. Not bad eh? Not many teams come away from there with a clean sheet so i would go as far as saying it was tactical genius! Well done lads, job well done. More hard work required in 2 weeks but if we do the job we can enjoy a trip to Wembley and we'll see who's still moaning then??

Marshy


Cannot cope with reds "supporters" always having a moan! Always find something to moan at, want success over night etc. Stand by your club whatever the tactic KK puts out!! It worked didn't I last night? City were clueless last night! For 45 minutes they didn't know what was going on!! Second half they didn't know where to go!?

All in all we were tactically class, played an extra midfielder to them in first half and they couldn't deal with it!

Great performance - bring on the second leg!

Chris - YNWA


I thought it was odd too see Kenny put the extra defenders on, but its not a show of weakness. This was the first of 2 games against City and an away goal means a lot. Plus there was no need to run Andy or Bellamy into the ground when they need to be fit for our upcoming league games, the return leg, and the FA match against United. Without Suarez these 2 need to stay healthy for the next month in games that mean more than grabbing an extra goal late

I know am going to get crucified for this but is there a possibility there could be a medical to take place tomorrow? If ed or macca respond. It's just what I have heard if its wrong I apologise now. {Ed016's Note - All we know is what Macca has told us. I doubt he would tell us too far away from a deal being done, because if a player backs out he would get slated by a bunch of idiots on here. So my guess is that it is pretty soon. Things can drag on but I reckon before the Bolton game, but which day exactly is anyones guess. You won't be crucified unless you came on and stated "there is a medical tomorrow 100% fact"}


Or if you said that the Medical was for Messi


 

 

11 Jan 2012 23:30:57
Has to be Philippe Countinho. KK has been interested in bring ing him to Anfield for a while. Not the same for Alvarez and Castignos. Besides Countinho is unsettled at Inter and wants to play regularly. Must be him. {Ed016's Note - Could be him, I guess we will see.}


Has to be Luc Castaignos!


 

 

11 Jan 2012 23:16:32
i personally think its gna b coutinho...the other lad jus kum 2 inter unless we thinkin about a loan deal...then agen kuyt could b shippd the other way 2 strike a good deal


D


 

 

11 Jan 2012 23:12:30
I think its Leandro from the other inter.


Yes thats who it will be!


If its leandro damiao from internacional think hed go spurs where his close and former team mate sandro is?


 

 

11 Jan 2012 23:11:14
Have heard we are looking at a loan deal for Madrids Rafael Varrane, have been scouting Kadlec (sparta) and watching Dortmund... either Hummels or Gotze

Thoughts please guys, I wouldnt mind any of the above, IMO Vertonghen (ajax) would be great fantastic player for us, no rumours I just rate him... {Ed016's Note - I wouldn't expect these kinds of players unless we get champions league next season, not going to happen in January but all viable options in the summer. We do not really need another defender though, I don't get what the obsession is about}


Was of the same thinking, think Kadlec coulod be a go'er though, young cheap(ish) and better than martinez who been talked about


We need a replacement for Carra even the best have to go sometime


 

 

11 Jan 2012 23:04:10
van persie coming to liverpool in summer from a reliable source {Ed016's Note - on Holiday? should pop over to the Wirral go for a stroll along Westkirby and Hoylake beach infact I spotted him today eating a magnum outside of morrisons.}


I am sure I saw him hanging round oxton ed. I thought I must of been dreaming but it must be true now ha

MIKEY


He's in the Greave now mate having a pint with Messi, Fabregas and Alonso. Saw them walk out of the chippy.

Ed016


Hey, I saw him popping into the merebrook in Bromborough... yet again the pumps had broke and the sky box crashed..


I believe him, in fact I mentioned it to Elvis today in the Aldi and he agreed that he'd heard the same thing.

David.


Tomato Ketchup? Never lets me down...


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:59:59
hi macca or eds when will the news break out on ssn or when will he sign the unknown young player from inter?thanks {Ed016's Note - This January...}


Ed016, you a bit of a smart a$$, but im not complaining, you amusing me with your comments at times. good job mate.

11 Jan 2012 22:59:40
just a shout here, jumping on the bandwagon, perhaps. However I am aware of a certain rule in Italy which only allows 'x' amount of non EU players to play for one team, and with lots of speculation regarding the transfer of Tevez to Inter, could the player we are reportedly going to sign be that of Obi or Coutinhio.. just a shout.

11 Jan 2012 22:56:54
Could be ricky Alverez. But hes not been mentioned i believe it to be a striker in Luc

Inter Milan youngster offered to Prem clubs
Published 22:56 07/01/12 By MirrorFootball Recommend

Luc Castaignos, the lanky Dutch striker currently at Inter Milan, is being offered to Premier League clubs.

Castaignos, 19, joined Inter from Feyenoord but has failed to make an impact in Serie A.

He was once the leading goalscorer in the Holland Under-17 team when his height and power made him a stand-out prospect. The likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton are now looking to take the youngster on loan for the rest of the season.

No disrespect intended towards macca but this was published 4days ago.....


The press speculate about almost every player in the world moving to Liverpool, as everyone can see. This story wouldn't have been believed if Macca didn't confirm the rumour. It's blatantly obvious Macca has some inside source so give the man(?) some credit for sharing what he knows with us


Are you saying macca works for mirror football, i knew we would find out something about the bloke, (eds, macca you know im joking right)


Considering that we are linked with almost every player in the world at the moment it would have been hard for the player we are actually linked with not to be mentioned on the internet. Also who says it's not Coutinho? IMO he is a better player of the 2 but I wont be complaing with who ever it is.


This says we were offered him. macca is saying we want to push through a deal (if this is the mystery player). big difference.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:50:33
Hi Eds,

Have a feeling the Inter player could either be Forlan or muntari - Diego hasn't made a massive impact in the not even 10 games played (only 1 goal too, i believe) and Sulley Muntari hasnt been lighting up the nerazzurri.

both were linked in summer. {Ed016's Note - Forlan no way}


Remember Forlan with m.u - he only ever had one decent match and that was against us. He was the equivalent of Carroll and he certainly improved!
Dutchmal


Completely disagree forlan would be a top signing he has moved up about 10 levels since he left united a far far better player and he would have a instant understanding with saurez. I dont think it will happen but cant believe someone completely disregards the idea of forlan(no football knowledge).


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:49:40
MACCA. PLEASE TELL US. MATE.

Corro {Ed016's Note - oh come on thats enough}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:45:18
Its like Macca has put a massive gift under the xmas tree a week before xmas and said " Wait till xmas day!" - oooh this is killing me!! lol

Thanks for the Info as always Macca


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:44:53
what position does coutinhio play macca asking cuz why would lfc b a midfielder we need a striker or a winger


He's an attacking midfielder. He can play winger comfortably

Red Ollie


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:43:26
Hey Macca,

Lets keep our fingers crossed that we get the business done soon, If it's who I'm guessing it is **cough castaignos cough** I'll be honest and say I don't know a lot about him. Perhaps you and the Ed's may be able to tell me something to get excited about.

Thanks for the info as usual big man! :-)
{Ed002's Note - Many people used to get excited over Marilyn Monroe.}


As usual Ed002 has cracked me up with the rapier wit that I thought only I was capable of! Surely you could've thought of someone better than Marilyn Monroe.......Mila Kunis for example! :-)


Hi Ed002 - I didn't realise that you were that old - I used to get excited over Claire Bloom
(I still do,actually!)
Dutchmal


Mmmmm Claire Bloom, anyway we digress! It's quite obvious from all of the responses that no one is going to be confirmation of the players name until it happens so we'll just have to wait. Thanks for the humor though I need it in my job at the moment!


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:43:14
Evening all,

I think what Macca suggested is that "one", being one of any number potential signings, will be a youngster from Inter - Coutinho or perhaps Castaignos -

Would this be correct interpretation ed's / Macca?

Thanks as always

Jamie {Ed002's Note - I don't think so.}


If you actually look at his paragraph again, this is exactly what it suggests - as i say all down to interpretation i guess

Cheers


Theres a shocker edd 2 poring scorn on a feller who gets most things right,or btw thank you for not putting my opinon on macca rumours about evra,maybe you should stick to chelsea rumours as the bias is starting to show.

Really hope it's coutinho coming in but will support whoever! Well done today lads YNWA

11 Jan 2012 22:34:50
right just want to say macca thankyou for info we appreciate it.now here is a list of inter players mid/striker who it could be:

alvarez-22 argentina cam/rm/cm/cf left footed
obi-19 cm/lm/rm nigeria left footed
poli-21 cm/cam/cdm right footed italy
coutinho-18 cam/rm/cf right footed brazilian
castaignos-18 st right footed netherlands

it could be any of them but for me it would have to be castaignos as the most linked of late.coutinho good aswell but i dont see them selling him or loaning.DORSET RED


Well it won't be Andrea Poli as he is on loan from Sampdoria, so thats one off your list


Or obi, who may be off to acon


Eds which player do you believe it is who will be joining us, if at all there is one coming in? {Ed016's Note - I personally see Castiagnos being the most likely, however there are about 3 players it could be. If you read Maccas posts again slowly it will become clear who he is talking about}


Inter being linked with tevez , would they be looking to free up a non eu place ?.ant


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:32:34
could it be that Macca is referring to Forlan?


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:30:54
Come on guys, it's obvious the player Macca is refering to is Sneijder.


Its january m8 not xmas

I have to say I personally think it would be a loan move for Luc Castaignos, but that's just guessing on my part. RED LENIN


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:26:27
It's got to be Castaignos. Also coincides with Tevez signing. RL


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:26:26
The player that Macca is refering to is Luc Castaignos.

You should give this guy a page of his own where he shares his opinions of what rumours are posted on this website. {Ed002's Note -PLease don't reply to your own posts.}

A few people putting forward Zarate as the possible target from Inter.
Isn't he actually a Lazio player?


Correct, he's on loan at Inter so it won't be him coming.


How can 6 people not believe this post??? It is a fact

torres back at liverpool 100% FACT


I'm not normally a betting man, but how about we have a small wager if you're that confident of it....


The 100% FACT guy strikes again...


Go back to sleep!


Great site why do people still go on about Torres it's over lads let's get on writing about someone who wants to play for please stop posting this rubbish


Why feel the need to lie?


No way for get it


Can you add a laughable button to the believable and unbelievable ? :)


Why bother ?


Not a hope


Ild take him back,but dont see it


Hold on chaps it's TRUE, 100% FACT ...

Grow up


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:09:34
I don't know why anyone's mentioning zarate, he plays for lazio and was on loan at inter..

I think it'll be castaignos myself.

Stu


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:07:57
I will have to say the player macca is referring to is coutinho purely based on what he said...
Macca, in his post, said the player has been mentioned in the press, which countinho has in the past few months. However the miost interesting thing is he said the player has been mentioned in this site before too. The way he said before just made it sound like it was a long time ago since we talked about the player, so it might not be the dutch guy...
Here's hoping its really coutinho coming..

And eds isn't weird now that macca has said something everyone seems to KNOW who's coming in? {Ed002's Note - All I can say is that Macca has been very good at sharing what information that he has available.}


Ive seen Luc Castaignos alot more in the media than Coutinho tbh


 

 

11 Jan 2012 22:02:52
Who do you think we are most likely to sign? Please reply!:D


Ricardo alvarez - great player


I've asked around Inter Milan fans in Malta (they've got a big fan club here) and it seems to be Philippe Countinho. KK's been traccking him for a while it seems and Countinho will join LFC on loan for the rest of the season with an option to buy.


Read the website


Ok genius funny how ur asking around now after macca jus said itle b a playa frm inter coming

D


 

 

11 jan 2012 21:52:42
i can confirm liverpool are going to sign from inter is;

ricardo alvarez - can play on the wing and attacking mid.


Correct


What you think of this rumour on ricardo alvarez ed? is he a possibility? {Ed002's Note - I have givn a view on the matter.}


I doubt we'll be in for Ricardo Alvarez considering he signed for Inter during the summer transfer window. Its more likely to be Luc Castaignos, with a possible chance of Philippe Coutinho. Luc Castaignos the more probable considering we are actively seeking a centre forward rather than an attacking midfielder.

KennyD JFT96


Even though he has not settled very well and his performances have been average at best I dont think he will be leaving anywhere. Especially not to england as he already rejected arsenal on the basis that he didnt think the league would suit him.

Rewflo


There no way hes coming...hes just got inter milan if he was available im sure wenger wud stick hiz head in there....its gna b coutinho or castaigna...


 

 

11 Jan 2012 21:16:30
Would this be that Coutnho lad from Inter we are looking at?

Spriggo


Prefer Coutinho over luc castaignos much more of a flair player and what we need, wouldn't mind both


Got to be. All over the press.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 21:14:46
Hi eds just read what macca put on I am on te inter milan site now if we are looking at signing a young striker then there only 2 who fit the age critera
Mario Matias Zarate age 25
Luc Castaignos age 19 I am only putting these names in the ring is because they are in the postion I believe we are looking at and their age if i am wrong then macca can let us know thanks
great site what do you think about these players eds.
{Ed002's Note - You need to work thogh the posts on the matter. There is plenty of opinion.}


Um isn't countinho 19 he will be 20 this year surely ,he was born in 92


Zarate is on loan at inter from lazio... so dnt think they got the rite 2 send him anywere other than back 2 lazio


 

 

11 Jan 2012 20:59:17
both Coutinho adn Zarate were discussed at length in here last year so could be either and Ed, is 24 too old? as far as i know thats all Zarate is.
MikaelDub


24 he is. I would personally say, in my very unprofessional opinion, that the player looks to still have a lot of potential.

ChrisMiz


Castaignos is not on that list? I think Zarate is not the man because he is on loan at Inter, they do not own him. So either the man in question is Castaignos or Coutinho. I think the most probable guy is Castaignos, because they consider Coutinho a gem for the future and I don't think he is a player to loan out with option to buy. Coutinho is Suarez type of player, he messes the defenders a lot but he is not ruthless in front of goal. Castaignos, didnt see much of him.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 20:47:17

if we get this player from inter this will only be the start of the spending cos we are still looking at two of hazard, gotze, ericcson, cavani and ozil coming in. 100% FACT


Putting FACT in capital letter doesn't make it more believable.

Just pointing it out.

Also how do you know these are who we want?

Rob


Cavani isnt leaving Napoli this season.
Hazard probably wont either.
Eriksen has said plenty of times that he's not interested in us. Goetze will end up in italy in my opinion.

Rewflo


I am itk and cannot say who my source is but 100% fact on this and you will thank me when it is true. {Ed002's Note - LIverpool do not have the funds to buy any of these players.}


Sorry I don't believe any of it.

Rob


ed2 is talking rubbish again. liverpool has the richest man in the world as one of the owners and we can afford any players we like. the reds could buy all of these players this month and kenny wants them all over two windows. only two in january. {Ed002's Note - So which two do we think are most likely to show up this month?}


The richest man in the world? That Indian steel tycoon, when did he take over?

Rob


You do understand that its a consortium which owns liverpool? And that the money ivested thus far is done so on the basis of a return on that investment.

They are not a bottomless pit of money.

Rewflo


Carlos slim muppet and you will see


The only way these players are coming to liverpool is on a computer game!! and thats fact!!


You mean FACT!

Rob


Guys, come on. He put 100% and Fact together in one sentence. It can't be wrong, this makes perfect sense and why would he lie, other than to mislead us or to wind us up and I don't see that being true at all. 100% FACT ;)

Jolly Red


When did Carlos Slim join us?


I really think that people post these comments to see how much attention they can draw to themselves.


Carlos Slim is part if the consortium? Very interesting indeed! I'd like Goetze or Erricson & Cavani


You are in the know ? of course you are, just like the majority of posters on here ? and why not sign your posts ?


Stick to fifa


 

 

11 Jan 2012 20:48:08
Could it not be mauro zarate that Macca is on about? Just a guess!

Runcorn Red! {Ed016's Note - bit old}


And he cannot be loaned to two teams in one season can he?

He is only 24 or so.

Rewflo


Zarate is only 24 I thought adn was discussed in here before so not sure he is too old!, although im inclined to think Coutinho as he was also touted quite a bit last year. guess we'll all find out eventually!


24 is not too old, we re-signed Bellamy did'nt we?? oh and how old is Charlie Adam?


 

 

11 Jan 2012 20:05:13
It's Coutinho, not Luc Costaignos.

Fee has been agreed and he will come to Liverpool in loan with option to buy in summer.

I really don't know when he will arrive...

@nbstw


You sure mate? Coutinho is more of an attacking midfielder than a striker...

I think I just answered my own question of who we're going to sign

RenegadeRed


I doubt its him, Castaignos is the one who has been linked with us in the press, not Coutinho.

RenegadeRed {Ed016's Note - I too think it is Castaignos}


I too think it will be Coutinho as out the two mentioned he will be allowed to leave at the end of the loan.

BigD


I heard information from someone at inter at the beginning of december that the management team had asked Coutinho if he would consider a loan move to Liverpool.

At the time no interest had been expressed about him but someone in the inter management was pretty sure that there would be an approach made.

Might not be related to Maccas info just seems very coincidental to me.

Search the archives and check if you dont believe me.

Rewflo


What about wesley


Why not the 2 of them ?


 

 

11 Jan 2012 19:54:07
hi eds do you have any updates on podolski
thanks! {Ed002's Note - Well if Macca is right the shopping will be done with a kid from Milan. As I have said on many occasions, I am by no means convinced Liverpool have had any interest in Podolski.}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 19:44:47
Liverpool to loan Diego Milito until end of the season with option to buy.

Just a guess from what Macca said.

NY23 {Ed002's Note - He will be 33 by the start of next season. New policy?}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 19:37:37
Macca, what about Hoilett? Do you know if we have any interest in him?

PJRED


 

 

11 Jan 2012 19:35:07
Its funny macca said only player will be from inter it has made me think i heard about 4 days ago at work that liverpool had sent representatives of our club to see diego milito but obviously wev heard about luc c and coutinho but luc c and coutinho am players but milito is striker just a thought {Ed002's Note - But not that young.}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 19:03:52
The reason i don't want to mention the name is because last time i told you all about Coates it was all over the web..

All i am willing to say is if nothing goes wrong the player from Inter will sign..

It doesn't take a genius to work out..

Cheers

Macca


Is this the real Macca eds?

KennyD JFT96 {Ed002's Note - Yes it is, but it does beg a number of philosophical questions.}


Cheers Macca, you're a gent. Any info you provide is always greatly appreciated.

Red Pedro.


Thanks very much all your continued info Macca.

Rewflo


It's Coutinho, not Luc Costaignos.

Fee has been agreed and he will come to Liverpool in loan with option to buy in summer.

I really don't know when he will arrive...

@nbstw


Thanks Macca, let's hope the transfer goes through!


Thanks for the info Macca, it is much appreciated. I think I know who mean. How likely is the deal going to happen because apparently Inter we only willing to loan him without an option to buy. Has a deal been agree in principle, mate?


Ed002,
Philosophical questions?
If you mean the meaning of life, that ones easy; the answer is of course, 42.
Other then that, I'm intrigued as to what you're alluding to.
Care to elaborate?

Redjinal {Ed002's Note - Well, is there one "real" Macca or are there many?}


Cheers mate, i think we are all truly grateful for your info.
huddz red
p.s get in gerrard


Well said Macca!! Brill info was worth de wait;)

SullyRed YNWA


Erm. Who is it then?

Wesley sneijder lolll


Cheers macca, I wait on your posts each transfer window.


Macca is it on a loan or a permanent signing

tb


@macca: was there any time fixed on the signing? and really happy that u shared the info with us :D... c'mon ye reds! {Ed016's Note - He has 24 hours to sign the contract or he blows up}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 19:02:21
Is it possible that macca is refering to Inter Milan and Pato? just a tought!


Pato plays for AC Milan


Pato is AC Milan mate before you get abused


No it's not possible.... he plays for AC Milan


Pato doesn't play for Inter Milan, so probably not

Rob


Does Pato not play for AC Milan? Another thought.....

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96


The Pato that plays for AC Milan? Doubtful
Kenny2


Just in case you didnt get it the first 4 times. He plays for Ac milan, although not for long. It's looking like he will go to PSG according to people in Milan.

Rewflo


Yes but i mean the same city Milano. Just a twist


I'm not sure if you understand how football transfers work but inter cant sell an AC player.


Pure and simple a muppet


 

 

11 Jan 2012 18:35:10
there s a strong chance macca is referring to philippe coutinho we ve defo had him watched before and he is out of favour at inter great young talent benetiz thought very highly of the player, he is quite similar to mata,silva that type of player exactly what we need

the freshmaker


Coulb the young dutchman Luc Castaignos (spelling).

Drigan


It might well be Javier Zanetti?


He's not out of favour he just cant get a game while Sneijder is there as Sneijder is a bit of a nuisance and has it in his contract.

I dont think that Coutinho will sign permanently, as he is still wanted by pretty much everyone at inter.

Rewflo


Isn't it Zarate!! We've been linked numerous times! Prem proven! Not a bad little player on his day!

Runcorn Red!

Luis Suarez wants to repay Liverpool

www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/9006772/Luis-Suarez-wants-to-repay-Liverpool-with-silverware-and-Champions-League-place-following-racism-controversy.html

Now you can all shut up about Suarez leaving. Thanks.


I remember torres going on how committed he was before he left for chelsea hmmmm.......


 

 

11 Jan 2012 18:11:48
Hey Ed's, I was wondering what the chances of us signing Seydou Doumbia from CSKA Moscow and Welliton from Spartak moscow were? I highly rate both players, and I think both could adapt well to the Premiership, bringing pace and great finishing ability. Anyway, please let me know your opinions on the matter. Thanks, Joe {Ed002's Note - There was an enquiry from Newcastle about Doumbia and it is likely if there is another English team who have actually enquired it will be Arsenal. No doubt other clubs have had scouts at games but that is some way from making any serious enquiries for the player. Doumbia does a good job of talking himself up and CSKA will likely want £25M or so for the player. Getting through to the last 16 of the Champions League makes a January move less likely. Welliton may be available at the right price but I don't see that Liverpool have any interest in him at this time. There was summer interest from Wolfsburg and Hamburg in Welliton but he was always expected to move to Rubin Kazan. There was some talk in a few corridors about a deal with Arsenal including Arsharvin a little while back aswell. Oddly enough Dortmund are the most interested right now and a player exchange involving Lewandowski is not impossible.}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 18:22:27
The management company of Inter striker Luc Castaignos has guaranteed that Liverpool have not tabled a bid for the player.
It had been suggested that the Premier League side were interested in the 19-year-old as a short-term solution after Luis Suarez was handed an eight-game ban by the FA for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.

The Netherlands Under-19 international, who moved to Inter in the summer, has struggled to make his mark at the San Siro outfit, having made just five competitive appearances so far for the club.

"We haven't heard anything about Liverpool's interest," Sportconsult Nederland told .

"There are all kinds of rumours. I can confirm that there is interest from Italy, England and Germany. Luc has the intention to stay at Inter, but he wants to play and make minutes. He has spoken to Claudio Ranieri about his situation and we are now working on it."

Italian sources claimed last week that Bologna were interested in signing Castaignos on a six-month loan deal as they strive to improve their attacking options.


P.Coutinho is the player that will be arriving with a view to a permanent deal.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 18:19:11
For macca

Only leaves two names castaignos and coutinho?? Personally the l8r would be immense the former iv heard he's meant too be a bit of a problem child!!

Mpc


I think it is markovic very fast.looks very good for a young player.


ED2 any ideas who Macca is talking about? Take a guess if not? {Ed002's Note - I don't really like guessing and I did not see the original post from Macca, but I would not be at all surprised if Liverpool did make an effort for Castaignos and he is certainly a loan possibility but a sale seems unlikely. Philippe Coutinho remains an interesting thought as Inter had offered to loan Coutinho to Bologna as part of a deal for Gaston Ramirez that eventually fell through in the summer (a role that Castaignos is being suggested for today). Coutinho has had a few starts recently but if Inter sell Sneijder to help fund their rebuilding, I don't think they want to sell Coutinho. Coutinho would need a work permit. It could still be Luuk De Jong of course, but the "loan" thought makes no sense there. I could ramble easily on this and throw up several more names.}


Markovic doesn't play for inter pal!

Mpc {Ed002's Note - I did not know it was an Inter player.}


Zarate?


 

 

11 Jan 2012 18:17:47
Macca stated the player we are signing plays for Inter,
therefore it is extremely likely to be Luc
Castaignos
Cheers
Skully


 

 

11 Jan 2012 18:00:43
Plays for Inter..

Cheers

Macca {Ed005's Note - This is the real Macca. And thanks for the clue. I think most will say a its a certain Dutch striker however I've seen a certain Brazilian mentioned also. Think it is the Dutch one though. Thanks for the info mate.

When do you expect it to happen.}


Not sure mate, was just given the info..

Hope it is correct..

Cheers

Macca


Right, so it could be either Luc Castaignos, Mauro Zarate, both players we have been linked with or Philipe Coutinho perhaps, I know he is more of an attacking midfielder/winger. My bet is Mauro Zarate!

AG


Castaigunis then hmmmmmmm,


Sneijder?
Zarate?
Castaignos?

Hmmm....


I'd say Zarate.


Zarate is 24, would that really fall into good young talent? Castaignos or Coutinho, Castaignos for me.

Rugby Parker


To loan or buy Macca/Ed?

Thanks

Blair Mayne YNWA JFT96


Most likely Zarate then. Looked a great player a couple of seasons ago ( so did Andy) but been out of fprm recently I believe.
CR


My money's on Coutinho, and if so it's time to get excited because he's gonna be a big player in a few years and by that time the Barcelona's of the world will be after him.


Philippe coutinho i hope soooooo


I did mention a few weeks ago that I had been told by someone at inter back in december that Coutinho had been asked by the inter management if he would consider a loan move to liverpool.

He said at the time that Liverpool hadnt made any offers but they were expecting it.

Rewflo


Mauro Matías Zárate is my guess to . macca says he plays for inter but he is not owed by inter ??? is there a player swap deal with lazio ??? macca tell tell


Plus zarate as played in the prem before . on loan at birmingham


I dont think zarate would be eligible as he has already played for two teams. {Ed002's Note - The Inter games do not count as they were Euro qualifiers only.}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 17:58:56
Liverpool want to bolster their youth ranks with a deal for sporting lisbon teenager Joao Teixeira !


Absolutely quality young player similiar to our own Suso..


 

 

11 Jan 2012 17:46:12
Macca didn't say weather it was a GK/Defender/Midfielder or Striker so it could be anyone not just a striker, it could be Shaqri of Basel?

Could you please tell us what the position is for the player you believe will be joining Macca.

BigD


It could not be him as he would have been regarded as a major signing

Panda


 

 

11 Jan 2012 17:41:11

Been told Liverpool are only interested in signing a striker this window.

Luc Costaignos' agent has been approached and Jackson Martinez is still being looked at.

Also expect a some news regarding stadium developments within 2 weeks.

My source is very, very good...

Calvin. {Ed016's Note - So is my sauce, I used organic tomatoes!}


ED 16...do you find organic tomatoes stain a deeper red....lol


Lol looks like Ed016 is taking notes from Ed002


Not very Funny?

Where is Ed002?


 

 

11 Jan 2012 17:30:42
Abel hernandez will sign from Palermo not sure yet if it's loan or perm yet..


Thx Marcmywords


He's getting a perm?

Wasn't he off to scum?

Rob


He seems to favour us over them due to suarez and coates...


I'll go on record and say I don't think he's coming to Liverpool. We shall see.

Rugby Parker


 

 

11 Jan 2012 17:28:02
Hello Ed's

Is the player macca referring to the young lad from Inter ? 'Cos his management group have came out and said Liverpool are not interested.

Wonder why he never mentioned a name...

Cheers - Craig: {Ed005's Note - I honestly don't know.}


Strange, he must have been warned by his source to stop giving info away.

Craig:


I bet that he doesnt want to mention names because it might be that he and only a few people know and if it got out then he might get in trouble for revealing information?


I'll bet he does not have a clue who's coming!


 

 

11 Jan 2012 16:56:10
I actually don't believe we will sign anyone in january. as the eds have said, it's very hard to sign someone in january and no-one seems really confident that anyone will sign. maybe we're just dreaming {Ed016's Note - It is difficult due to the Euros and not having Champions League, no one who is still in the champs league will want to leave and anyone else having a good season will not want to move before a big International comp. Saying that there is a chance we will still get someone in}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 16:52:08
Hi Eds

Are we limited in the amount of money we can spend in this window should it be possible to get the targets we want or are after. IF we do get into a bidding war on a player or are forced to spend on a guy who would have been a summer target will we be able to get them , assuming of course it is not a ridiculous fee.

LD-IRELAND {Ed016's Note - I told Kenny he could only spend 10 quid this window. But really, its January, overinflated player prices so no point in going for a grand signing or marquee signing as you guys like to call it. Liverpool do not like bidding wars and normally do not put up with them}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 16:49:50
hi ED`s / Macca / anyone ITK?

Jackson Martinez,
143 games pro, 90 odd goals.
25 yo, £10m value( ish )

sounds pretty much a no brainer to me?
know of any ownership issues? or permit possibly needed?

PIDDY.


Good player but we are looking to sign abel hernandez from palermo


The asking price is £8.5m and he is 26years old. don't say £1.5 is your commission for the post :)


 

 

11 Jan 2012 16:48:44
Hi eds was wondering how are things progressing with Jackson Martinez last i heard we were in talks with representatives and that was a few days ago now? {Ed016's Note - Nothing has changed}


So are we in talks with his representatives?


 

 

11 Jan 2012 16:47:57
Ed016 here.

Hello Everyone and Good Morning and Happy Semi-Final day! Pub Quiz question of the day. Name Liverpools last 3 league cup semi final opponents.

One thing I wanted to let people know about is Demba Ba and his Injury. Liverpool will not be signing a player that fails a medical, simple as that. In a business sense it is called a liability. Mike Cashley will squeeze the sucker who buys him dry.

Anyway got this from this link.

www.toonbarmy.com/the-details-about-demba-ba-and-his-injury

Explains it all


"It turns out that Ba has a knee problem, which he received playing for Belgian club 'Mouscron.' (No I have never heard of them either – and you never will again, because they suspended operations in 2009 after being declared bankrupt!) It was a pretty nasty injury which left a serious fracture in Demba's tibia and fibula (the front and back bone of the leg), resulting in him being out for 8 months.

As if he wasn't unlucky enough to be on the injury list – the surgeon only went and did a botch job! Yup! This resulted in Ba struggling with knee pain due to muscle damaged on the operating table. it is believed the problem stems from a nail inserted in his tibia that touched a sensitive part of the knee when it was removed."


Anyway Redmen! Lets get behind the team tonight because as you know, one thing worse than a Manc, that's a Manc that has something to be happy about

Ed016


Carroll came to us with an knee ingery i dont undererstand the diffrence becuase they hve had the same injery how did he pass his medicall at newcastle ynwa


I have had this operation its an im nail two screws through the ankle and 2 just below the kneecap they move the kneecap during the op could post a pic of the scars lol ,I've spoken to a few people who have had it done and everyone seems to get different problems mine is that the screws push on the inside ligaments of my left knee,if I play football or run I have to take tramadol for the pain


Oh does anyone know if he still has the nails in ? as I was a given the option of having it removed would mean he would be out for months


 

 

11 Jan 2012 16:39:14
Hi Eds

just wondering if you have heard anything or have info on the new stadium or plans since the New year or when there will be an Official announcement.

LD-Ireland {Ed016's Note - Last time I went on a stadium tour, the tour guide was telling everyone how they had architects in for the redevelopment. But wether they came up with a solution or not to some of the challenges of redevelopment I don't know. I expect an announcement sometime this year yes, but I do not expect any work to start this year}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 16:14:41
this true eds?

1) Liverpool want to bolster their youth ranks with a deal for Sporting Lisbon teenager Joao Teixeira.

{Ed016's Note - seems there may be interest.}


Very good player


 

 

11 Jan 2012 17:12:31
hi ed,so as Macca state that there would be only one coming a young talent from abroad and not a major signing who would you reckon it will be??

Indian rajiv {Ed005's Note - Not a clue.}


Abel hernandez

Marcmywords


Shaqri of Basel or it could be someone no one is expecting maybe Munian of Bilbao


 

 

11 Jan 2012 17:03:50
eds...21 dyas of transfer window left..any news of anyone signing....even a bid being prepared for anyone? {Ed005's Note - Refer down the page or use the search function}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 17:01:58
Hi All,

Don't expect any major signings..I may be wrong..

I believe there will be one coming in that has been mentioned on here before and in the press..

Not sure if it is on loan or permanent..

Good young talent from abroad..

Not mentioning any names..

Cheers

Macca {Ed005's Note - This is the real Macca. And thanks for the info Macca. I know you can't name the player but could you give us a clue or two? ;)}


Luc castaignos perhaps?

He is a good young talent from abroad and has been linked recently....

Dan
P.s thanks for the info Macca, much appreciated :)


Who is macca and why does he seem to know it all.


I will do it for u ...

abel hernandez palermo


Podolski


Macca

Has this young talent only been mentioned lately , or does it go back to last summer?

LAVERS


How obvious is that info? Why can't you give any answers? It's like me saying 'we will sign someone in the summer but not saying who...'.


Messi is young and has a bit of talent... Hmmmmmm

Rob


Who ever it is i hope its a permanent deal not a loan.


I'd plump for Luc Castaignos (sp?) on the info Macca's provided. Young player mentioned in the press as a possible loan from inter milan. Would be happy with that, especially if there was a loan to buy option, seems like a very talented, versatile attacking player... either him or Eden Hazard. hehe.

Rugby Parker


Macca you posting is just teasing us, but personally I believe you maybe spot on again.
I hope it's Podolski but not sure you would class him aa "good young talent" more like a player that fits FSG policies that is proven at most levels.
Anyway thanks for the info it's exciting to hear.

Markolfc


I reckon it's got to be luuk de jong. Hope he's as quality as everyone makes out.


Zarate


It's Luc castaignos, he's the only young player from abroad we have been linked with a loan for in the press. Think the loan part was macca's clue

Lee the red


Why can't he give a straight answer


Mauro Zarate?


This rumour is so generic its wait for it not a rumour but a possibiity anyone could have came up with!


The reason i don't want to mention the name is because last time i told you all about Coates it was all over the web..

All i am willing to say is if nothing goes wrong the player from Inter will sign..

It doesn't take a genius to work out..

Cheers

Macca {Ed016's Note - Real Macca. Cheers mate that is a pretty good one for us, no one can argue with and can not really ask for more.}


Nice one macca mate great to hear from u again. One question if your still around, will Liverpool buy two players to fit striker and right side or do you think we will look for versitility? And who would you promote from the youths now if you were in charge? Sorry I know its two questions but i would like your opinion


Sort that post was Quigz23


Cheers Macca! Thanks for the info. I like the way everyone says De Jong or Podolski, even tho they dont play for Inter Milan, lol, shame you cant mention a name, but the info is appreciated.

Carb


Are you steve mcmanaman? You seem to know the coup...and as the old song said 'if anyone can, macca can, macca can' ha ha


It's Jason McAteer! & He's a legend not only for his performance in a red shirt but for giving us this info when he doesn't have to!


Cheers for the info Macca.. Would love it to be Coutinho!

Chardy Eire


Gotta be Coutinho looking at Inter's non-EU quota, Liverpool's previous interest, current need for position and transfer policy. Luc C would make sense also but I'm hoping we manage to persuade Coutinho to come to Merseyside!

RobbehLFC


The real macca is John McBarnes haha


 

 

11 Jan 2012 16:09:39
Afternoon Eds and fellow reds - being told we are close to testing the water for Podolski - figure around 17m I'm being told - around the same as my sources said we had offered for Bent, so that is maybe our transfer budget.


OS red {Ed001's Note - we never made an offer for Bent.}


Podolski is better than Bent.


Maybe we did, maybe we didn't - both my sources were adamant that we had suggested a figure of around 17m to Villa who wanted closer to 24m, however they aren't always correct and you probably know more than I do! On the subject of Podolski - I've been a fan for years - think we should have made an attempt to sign him 2 seasons ago! OS red


Does that mean we are about to offer then ed? {Ed005's Note - No it means we never made an offer.}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 15:28:39
eds is there any news on the gastron ramirez situation? {Ed001's Note - he is pretty much out of the question in January.}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 14:56:18
Any chances of Sow as Erding of PSG is Lille's top target as Sow is on his way out? Think they want £10m he knows where the goal is and only 25.

BigD {Ed002's Note - He has been looked at.}


Do you rate him ed, don't think it would be a problem him coming as im sure Joe would try and push him.

BigD {Ed001's Note - Cole won't push him towards Liverpool, his time here was a nightmare for him!}


Ed is he not at the ACON?


Cole was unlucky at Liverpool, he got sent off 1st game vs arsenal and then came back but was constantly injured and then couldn't get 100% match fit and in the team so we sent him on loan, shame we ain't got him in the team now as we badly miss creativity and goals.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 13:50:30
Any interest in Nicolai Boilesen? I think he'd be ideal back up for Agger. Better than Wilson. {Ed002's Note - None from Liverpool. And are you are forgetting Coates, Carragher and Kelly?}


Sorry, my bad. What I meant was a left footed CB. because all the ones we have are RCBs except for Wilson and Agger. But alright.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 14:37:47
Expect an announcement to be made later today of Podolski signing a 5year contract, he will be followed by Hoilett, Ramirez and Pilkington

the futures bright.....the futures red


What a massive amount of s**te this rumour is


Kopite : Sounds great to hear.. but will this really happen


We can all dream. Did u get that off the back of the cereal box?


You do know that there is a wait of around a day between the deal being agreed (and the announcement of it) and the player signing a contract?

But if true, I'm impressed with Podolski's pace, making his way to Liverpool to do a medical and sign a contract after attending a FC Koln charity visit to a hospital.


Are you going to put your name to this to back up your claims? Your source is? Another dreamer I think! Where's Macca when you need him? Any ideas Ed?
Sanchez75


Karl?
Where has this info come from? Ricky?


Hope so doubt it tho . who are u n wats ur source.jonny m


Who wants to take a wild guess.. and say this won't happen haha


Id be happy with signings if it were true, but once again no name and probley a load of nonsense.

BigD


Almost sounds to good to be true.


Podolski and Hoilet would be nice.


Just had his name tattooed on my arse, thanks for the info.


You are right except I heard Messi instead of Pilkington


Guy's don't kill the messenger please. its about a little time we will know the truth. but can be truth too as we do enquary the listed player. it's not he say messi sign for us.


Mate ramirez has said he definitely won't be moving in january stop making s**t up


Yeah Podolski signing a five year contract with Koln is more likely


I hope this rumors true!


 

 

11 Jan 2012 14:36:36
any truth in kk bidding 4 defoe and james milner?


James Milner is a huge part of Citys team so dont expect him to move anyway unless for a very large sum of cash


Defoe a possibility, Milner no chance

BigD


 

 

11 Jan 2012 13:17:16
Any interest in Gabriel Torje from Udinese eds? Versatile player who can play LW, RW or CF and only 22, would be worth a punt imo.

Andy Carroll Jaeger bomb challenge {Ed001's Note - I don't know sorry.}


You are from Romania?Marius


 

 

11 Jan 2012 09:29:54
hey eds. any chance of Sahin from Real Madrid. I know he hasnt played much due to injury and may struggle for a starting place. He was very influential for Dortmund when they won the league and would be a great add to our squad. I am sure he would chip in with goals and assists

Irish Ciaran {Ed001's Note - I very much doubt it.}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 08:38:03
Hi eds have we got interest in joao texieria of lisbon? I know he is just about to turn 19 but would he be a first team player?

Mighty reds {Ed001's Note - I don't know sorry.}


He is certainly good enough for 1st team football


 

 

11 Jan 2012 14:10:49
Ed's whats with these luc castaigous loan rumours, great player but the lad is 18 looks like one for the future so i doubt he would be able to do a job straigt away with the need to adjust to life in the prem for most foreign players, so is it defo loan or on a perminant basis (fantastic if it is) ? {Ed001's Note - it is just a player being scouted, I very much doubt there is anything in the loan rumour, but we have checked him out. It is more likely that it is for a future permanent deal.}


 

 

11 Jan 2012 12:50:38
Ed, Suarez always seems very positive about Liverpool in the press, whilst I understand this doesn't mean a thing has he given any inclination if he would rather stay or go. Has to be in Liverpool's interest to sort this out either way early on so we don't get distracted from our main targets and not left till deadline day.

Thanks
DJ {Ed001's Note - he has not given any sign of wanting to leave that I know of, not yet anyway.}


There is a link on the BBC website to , apparently an exclusive interview with Suarez. He says he is looking forward to playing again and winning trophies with us in 2012. Read into that what you want.
RNred


 

 

11 Jan 2012 11:18:08
How serious is our interest in podolski, ed? Most of the posters seem quite optimistic abt him joining plus he wud welcome a move to anfield.
Indian Buzzer {Ed001's Note - the interest is serious, though I am not convinced he will join, would like it to happen though.}


Ed if the interest is serious then surely that means we are guna bid if we ain't already. {Ed001's Note - not necessarily. There is a lot of players we are interested in, some will be higher priority than others. Then there is the club to deal with, if they are not willing to sell, we might just look elsewhere rather than try to convince them to sell.}


@ Ed001- Why are you not convinced he would join? Is the possibility of other 'bigger' clubs in the running for his signature? {Ed001's Note - he likes Arsenal for some reason, he has indicated a desire to join them, they have shown an interest in him, so they would be the favourites, unless they didn't get involved. Though you can never tell for sure.}


Do you know of anyone you actually expect to join Ed? I really hope to see a striker within the next week {Ed001's Note - I don't have any expectations for January, it is a very difficult time to sign players, injuries to other players can scupper moves etc.}


Should offer them kuyt in exchange to sweeten the deal


 

 

11 Jan 2012 13:49:04
Just would like to Quash all the Podolski rumours. The guy is recovering from an Ankle Injury and is going nowhere. This is straight from contacts in Germany
(player from Cliftonville in Belfast who spent last year with Werder Bremen U-23 side) is a LFC fan and contacted friends from there to find any truth in Podolski,, and has been told its Not happening.

Phil. Belfast


Liam boyce then?


We bought the geordie for 35 mill last year when he was injured
5 gold stars


Exactly look how that turned out, we had suarez, kuyt, ngog - now we have nought. so buying a player who is going to take a while to get fit this time round does not suit as much as it did last January.

Phil. Belfast


Was it boyce?


Boyce does not play for cliftonville


I don't believe our Liam told u that m8


 

 

11 Jan 2012 13:37:43
If NUFC offer £20 million - £22 million for Carroll we will do business. We want Bent in replacement for the same money - negotiations for both deals ARE ongoing hence the silence.


Where the hell did you get silence from? Carroll's agent came out to say the rumours were all rubbish. Mcleash said dalglish wasn't interested in bent and you think this is silence? Plus Carroll over bent any day!


Why would we let a 23 year old go and buy a 27 year old. where is the sense in that, Carroll ain't going nowhere and i sure as hell hope we don't go for bent.


If we buy Bent it will be another backward step, more loyalty in a stray cat than there is in Bent.


Haha, "negotiations are ongoing hence the silence"! Could there be any other possible reason for silence? Hmmmmmm

Red Ollie


Another person who thinks he can talk sh*te when in fact he has no idea


Oh God not the Bent tripe back again!


Silence. except they told you. so you could post it on an international rumour website. if my aris could talk like that, i would have far fewer wrinkles on my face.


Haha what a load of s**t, liverpool policy

young players bent 27 ??? value for money bent 22m and a loss on carroll of 15m yeah ok , laughable , whats the point in making this up , even if you do have sources they are talking s**t


Rock on scouse mouse, we(nufc) dont buy over rated s**te anymore (owen), but you do (carroll), even if we did buy him back , it wouldnt be more than ten mill! any way, good win tonight for your lot,look forward to see you at wembley once again....


 

 

11 Jan 2012 13:18:32
Is the game on tv tonight? Thanks {Ed007's Note - BBC1 are showing it.}


Cheers eds, anything else on podolski? Heard several people say we made a bid, but nothing on here {Ed001's Note - no bid as of yet anyway, as far as I am aware.}


Hey Ed - what time are the Simpsons on next Wednesday mate?
Jeeez - is too much for some lazy baskets to find s..t out like this themselves?


If you go onto the LFC website and click fixtures, all of our televised matched are stated as to which channel they will be on. As for the rest... firstrowsports.tv


Calm down mate.. Ever thought I can't get access to the tv right now?
Simpsons is usually on at 6 channel 4


You don't need access to a TV to see TV listings! You obviously have internet access......


 

 

11 Jan 2012 13:01:00
Is hoillet any closer? As I believe at 6-7million it is a no brainer because he he ticks all the boxes, he's tricky, young and cheap. I think he would provide our team with that bit of flair on the wings that we haven't had for a wile. I would luv to see sterling given a chance to show what he can do but I think he will get a chance next season. Cheers

I agree about Sterling....give the lad a go,he may fulfill his potential, but until given a chance

just heard from a friend in ireland who knows some1 in liverpool, that a inquiry has been made for defoe ?


This one could have some legs to it as its well known he wants out

Just heard from my friend who know someone working in Liverpool that we Will make a bid for Hoilett of Blackburn rovers and Podolski is going to melwood for medical tomorrow!


Hope podolski joins us.


I would like to see Hoilett join the club at 21 years old he is at a good age, he has premier league experanice, 2 good feet can play down either side or through the middle has pace and a trick or 2 and an eye for goal. If Liverpool could get him for cheap price due to his contract running out this summer i think he could be a bargin.
Podolski is a bit more of a gamble in my opinon, if Liverpool changed their kit to white tops and black shorts and ran out onto anfield to the german national anthem instead of ynwa then i think he would be amazing as he always plays better for germany then he does for any club side he has ever played for!

Basil


I can believe the Hoilett rumour but not the Podolski one.

BooDaBooze


Re podolski - 14 goals in 15 games this season! He has been absolutely brilliant for Koeln, but had a few bad seasons with Bayern Munich. Top player that would strengthen Pool for sure


He wasplaying on the wing for munich that was all hes sheer class

My first post on here, luv the site. Just wanted to say that I think the media coverage of the so called 10 million offer from Newcastle for Carroll is laughable. There is no way that kk is gunna let Carroll go when he's already explained that he sees him as a signing for next 5 years not just 1 season. I think he should be given time to gain confidence and full sharpness anyway because he hasn't had a prolonged run in the team and the service to him has been poor, especially from downing who many including me though to be the perfect provider for him. Also Suarez will not be leaving either, as Liverpool have stuck by him through all the problems and made him part of the liverpool family so why would he?! It's just the media as usual trying to unsettle us. Cheers for reading. Is hoillet any closer? As I think at 7mil


Good post! but i don't believe the hoilet rumours


Y don't u believe the hoillet rumours? I don't know if true but would make sense wouldn't it? Cheap, tricky and young. By the way this post was LangLFC. Cheers

Would Dirk Kuyt if he left have a testimonial? Think he deserves one
Ta


Usually testimonials are only given when a player has been at a club for 10 years.

Kieran.


Depends if he's done atleast 10 years service to the club


Despite what many seem to think I think Kuyt has been a very underated success story for Liverpool.


I dont think anyone would disagree that Kuyt has done a fantastic job. Kop hero for sure


Kuyt joined in 2006, so no he wouldnt.


Kuyt deserves some sort of appreciation. The job he's done for Liverpool has been very underrated. The guy never stops running and he has scored some mportant goals...like the hat-tick against united! Be sad to see him leave but i do think his time is up now. Dale B


 

 

11 Jan 2012 10:52:24
I think this Carroll back to Newcastle story is rubbish, just lazy journalism, as always.

Matty P


Totally agree. Simply made up. Ashley using his contacts to try and unsettle Carroll.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 10:34:13
Andy Carroll's agent, Mark Curtis, tells BBC Sport there is "no truth" in reports today linking the player with a discounted move from Liverpool back to Newcastle United. Curtis adds "[Andy Carroll] is happy at Liverpool."


Thats alright BUT is Liverpool happy with Carroll,i dont think so for obvious reasons

I really don't believe that Carroll or Suarez will be leaving. No Contact between Newcastle and Liverpool! Sky Sports News. Carroll Agent has dismissed reports and both He and Carroll very disappointed in this Ridiculous story! Media, get your facts right before going to press! Muppets.

Ozil is a big possibility.
my source gave me August transfer moves and 3 out of 4 were correct. Enrique - when most confirmed he wasnt a target my guy kept telling me it would happen so i do trust his info.
Big Red Ed


Very well then. I believe you and your guy. Ozil is good quality.

BooDaBooze


Ozil may very well be available in the summer but very unlikely to join liverpool. more likely destination - inter, juve or man utd?

If you watch Real match then u will find answer. and that is Big no. Real may let Kaka go not Ozil.


Yes i agree Ozil is a great player and i think fits in perfect at RM, however he doesnt start alot of games and does not get on with Ronaldo and RM will do anything to keep him happy (shows now that higuian will prob leave for that reason)


 

 

11 Jan 2012 09:45:33
Morning Ed(s) / Macca - would love to know if their is genuine interest in Gary Hooper or not? Stats and You Tube make him look a pretty good option but could he cut it in the EPL?
The Goatherder
JFT96 {Ed001's Note - none that I know of.}


Youtube make any player look good, who uploads videos of average performances..?


Watch him a lot while he was at Scunthorpe. Good player, good finisher of the ball but 100% could not cut it in the EPL. He is a championship player. Liverpool will know this and have no interest in him.

BREAKING NEWS @ Podolski fee agreed and medical completed. Under personal term discussion. YNWA


OK mate nice one!

Paul the red


If this was breaking news would it not be mentioned on Liverpool's website? I think it's more like breaking wind at the moment you fool!


Its rubbish, everytime is has breaking news its usually made up


Hey u forget to mention that ozil is coming as gift with him


Isn't the normal sequence for the personal terms to be agreed before medical?


He is apparently injured at the moment so supprised if he would pass a medical


Don't personal terms get discussed first, on the basis they pass the medical?


If fee agreed and medical done then why club wait they can publish in the club website.


The medical would not be a big problem to pass if it's only a slight muscle strain.Look at what happend last year with Andy Carroll,injured passes medical,does not play until March.


Yh wat site is it on...www.uraloser.com lol {Ed016's Note - www.grammar.com}


WHY do you bother with the breaking news? Now we know 4 sure its not happening. Do u just like winding people up?


LOL ! you're a legend Ed016 !!


 

 

11 Jan 2012 08:06:51
Talksport Also said it at 6 this morning. Carroll back to the toon for £10m. Yeah right, We can waist the same amount of money we bought suarez for....Pathetic...!


Its such a joke - if u read the story it says LFC are not going to sell Carroll back to Newcastle in Jan. Thats all! No-one is saying they might sell him, he doesnt want to go. The papers are on sabotage mode yet again. Pathetic


No truth in this rumour what so ever!!!!!!!! utter cxxp


If toons offered 20 million, i wud bite their hands off.
Indian Buzzer


If there isn't a story then the press invent one!


 

 

11 Jan 2012 06:36:28
Ed016 here again.

On the Carroll subject.

Why would the media release a made up fairytale story like that on the day of a Semi-final game that the player will be taking part in...... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (hint)

(after reading some of the posts sent in I will just let you know it is to sell papers and of course to try and get at LFC, its pathetic)


Spot-on. Let's all calm down now eh?


What do you expect from the SUN !!! the worst paper in the world.


Mate, don't even give the Sun credit for making up this story, the Sun jumped on the back of The Times, who 'broke' this fictitious story.


As usual crap press just trying to stir up.They are a disgrace to the human race.


Is the times not a reliable source?


Toon fan in peace here. The Times is from the same stable as the S*n .Really don't think Carroll wan'ts back home ,likes his big bucks too much now.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 05:36:19
Just got done talking to a friend who works for Liverpool. Andy Carroll is going no where he said. Kuyt moving is possible dependin on Price.
Liverpool and Real Madrid are in discussion over a few players, he could not say in fact who, but a move will most likely occur in the next 2 weeks.
We are looking for good talent, and for winter moves, young players & not breaking the bank.
They know our in depth and in quality to help strengthen the starters to play harder to earn their spots.

Da Hairy Yank


You were on the phone to someone from liverpool at 5.30am?
well done for that then


If true want no more pups sold to us,had enough of Madrid feeding us cerp and has beens over years


 

 

11 Jan 2012 03:26:55
Some papers are saying that Carroll could go back to Newcastle for £10m and Liverpool making a loss of £25m, and that he and dalglish are having a rif. Does anyone think he will go. To be honest do we need him, the only bad thing about losing Carroll is making a loss on the money. {Ed016's Note - not happening, absolute nonsense. He is for the future}


Never gonna happen. Even, if they were trying to have fun with tha bid, Kenny would certainly have out some ice, there. lolz. YNWA


One of the bonuses of living here in Spain is that I don't have to read the moronic lies these idiots print.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 03:22:30
Eds, how strong is the rumor that Kuyt may be leaving for Galatasaray? {Ed016's Note - Bud light strong. He will leave either now or in the summer but wherever he goes is unkown}


But bud light is only 5% lol

11 Jan 2012 02:22:59
Ed, you say we need a poacher/off the shoulder type of a striker but I can only think of Andy Polo who might be that? Who else is there that fits this discription and might be available?

Thanks

Kam


You can seriously only think of Polo?

Sow, N'Doye, Diawara, Ba, Martinez, Rhodes, Hooper, Soldado, De Jong, Hernandez, Bent...

the list goes on

Red Ollie


Andy Polo? lol bet youve never seen him play.


Yes of course i have heard of those players but none of them have BLISTERING pace. Except MAYBE Soldado. And if your going to mention players like Hooper then Liverpool can forget about champions league. De Jong is basically a younger version of Kuyt. Martinez has only just realised his potential. N'doye and diawara.......next. Bent is certainly not quick enough but he does score goals. Sow, Ba, Soldado, MAYBE Rhodes (coz he scores bagfuls of goals) and Polo can surely be the only real candidates that have every attribute. Pace being arguably the most important. Podolski maybe aswell. But i wanted to know who else i might have missed. Lol. Ill look on football manager shall i?!

Kam


Bent has a proven PL record.. Do any of the others? I think that alone counts Bent in the list.

General run-down:

Podolski: slim chance, there is interest as far as i know, which was a pretty big surprise to me.

Ba: Just not a realistic option, we will soon see just how many injury issues he really has.

Hoilett: Will only make a move if spurs move first, otherwise will be a summer target.

Soldado: Very slim chance, but if there is any movement it will be much like the Hoilett case, it won't be until summer unless another club forces us to move for him.

Hooper: Personally i think this is more of a chance than people think. As far as i can see, this move shouldn't be discounted and all signs point to Neil Lennon being contacted over the last week or so, and if Hooper wants to move, he'll move.

Kayal: Also a fairly realistic target for the summer, not to be discounted

Rhys Williams: whether or not he's good enough is the issue here, not sure whether it's because of Owen Coyles interest or not, but if we want him, he'll be quite easy to get a hold of.

Jelavic: Looking less likely by the day, there are a few clubs in the running, and all he wants is regular football.

Rhodes: As far as i've heard we haven't been watching him quite as closely as a lot of other clubs.

OUTS

Suarez: Simple, staying, and for a few years yet as far as i'm concerned.

Carroll: What a load of s**t, 15m? no chance.

Red7. {Ed016's Note - Thank You}


I wonder if the chance of kayal, even in the summer, has dropped now that he's been ruled out for the rest of the season (ankle surgery)? we would probably want to wait to see him play after the surgery before signing him!


Its believable


All very believable,

but where did you get your ''info'' / source(s)?

RobbehLFC


In the cases of Hoilett and less extent Soldado, why are we waiting for other teams to move first?? surely we should go and get the players we want regardless of what other teams are trying to do.


I read this website most days since hearing baout it last month and i must say this is the first post ive read that speaks real sense.. most posts are people making things up or passing on complete tripe theyve been told by others


I agree with the guy above me, surely we dont want to get into no bidding wars, although other teams are likely to possible bid if we do, but at least we're showin a statement of intent by goin in on our own accord and not because some other team got involved

Carb


The idea behind bidding if someone else does is that they are Summer targets, clubs are reluctant to sell and if they do they will vastly inflate the prices. Obviously most good players will have interest from a lot of clubs but a summer bidding war will be far cheaper than a Jan one..


I would imagine that the reason the original poster suggets we will only bid now if another team bids is because we would rather wait till the summer for the player but rather than miss out completely we would bid if another team forces our hand sort of speak.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 02:08:56
Mr. Macca

any info on the market? seems like Podolski, Castaignos are being closely linked while the De Jong and Sow rumours cooling off.

While rumours are fun to read, nothing compares to your spot-on info.

Cheers Mate,

Hi eds! Got the following from a source (not my words). Please confirm whether it is true or not - "Andy Carroll`s agent has contacted NUFC to see if they would like him back. Dalglish and LFC are growing impatient with Carroll, and are willing to sell him for the right price. I've been told that he trains poorly, turns up late, doesn't look after himself on a personal and health level. Ignores advice etc."

What do you make of it eds? Thanks {Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware there is no truth in it.}


Its obviously good to hear that youve heard nothing cause i want big andy to do well, and i dont want there to be any problems between him and lfc's management. BUT, this guy is usually spot on with his info, plus the times are reporting it too....so im not sure what to believe. to be honest though, i do think there is something going on and that lfc want to sell him, and that hed like to return to nufc (dont think he wanted to come here in the first place -the move was forced by his agent and nufc).


If any of what you say is true then why would Newcastle have him back


Well pepe said in an interview a couple of weeks back that carroll is the worst trainer in the squad hes lazy and doesnt like running to many yards ...which is shocking for a 35 million pound striker ..so saying hes late and doesnt take care of himself is not suprising .... {Ed001's Note - it was a joke!}


If he apparently trains badly and is always late, why does Dalglish say he's always a top trainer and in pictures from training he's always there putting the effort in laughing with the players, just a lie the same as Lampard going to United, Rooney leaving United, and Bent coming to Liverpool


 

 

11 Jan 2012 01:26:13
Brace your self eds because give me football are reporting madrid are ready to offer £30mill for suarez!! in all seriousness really hope we can add a couple of players (st,rw) and i would take most of the realisitic targets as IMO they would be an improvement to what we have.

cheers
Daryll


We paid £25 mill for him so do you really think we'd sell him for only £5 mill more? Drivel!

Article from Football Federation Australia:

www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/West-Brom-set-their-sights-on-Rhys-Williams/44284

Notice suggestion of Liverpool interest in Rhys Williams. Is this complete rubbish? The rumour keeps surfacing in Oz and coming from some (what seem) reputable media sources.
AussieLFC


The rumour's been circulating for a while now, but the only manager i know of with a solid interest is Owen Coyle, i'm guessing the rumour spread from there by just creating a bit of pretend competition for bolton.
But to be fair, he is a pretty versatile player with decent potential.

Red7.


 

 

11 Jan 2012 00:26:22
demba ba could be at liverpool for less than 10 mil because his buy out clause is less than 10 mil


 

 

11 Jan 2012 00:09:42
Times:Newcastle to bid £15 mil for Carrol

The times isn't normally wrong about these things. So the story must of been given to them by Mike Ashely, who is likely to sell Demba Ba to Man Utd in the next couple of days.

The whole looks like a smoke screen. I reckon Newcastle season will be over if he leaves. Maybe Yakubu might turn up for £5 million. lol


'The Times isn't normally wrong about these things', what's the based on because its a broadsheet newspaper? Name one instance were they have got something correct on which you base that upon?


This is a non-story as it indicates "The Times believes..." This means it's basis is most likely nonsense or some irresponsible quote from an unimportant person at Newcastle! Also, nobody has shown any interest in Ba at all...nonsensical speculation.
Izain


15m, less than half, why don't we just bend over and pass Newcastle the vaseline?

20-25 I would seriously consider it. Better yet, if we got around 20 back and got Ba for a pittance I'd consider that a happy ending.


I remember that day well and my mate rang me an told me we were signing carroll. my first thought was get in we shud get him for around 12 million...
i then askd wot the fee was and he said sky are reporting around 20mil... i couldn't believe it! i said we should just leave it hes not worth it.
when we signed himand the price had got to a rediculous 35mil i said that whoever had the final say on that transferl should never be trusted with money or the responsibility ever again and maybe should even lose their job and i stand by it to this day...
i have a sneaky suspicion that dalglish never really wanted him tbh coz when he was in contract negotitions to take the job permanent i heard he was adament he wouldn't sign unless he had the final say on transfers... ??
bit of a disaster all round really

peter


 

 

11 Jan 2012 00:07:00
Heard we have shown serious interest in both Lukas Podolski and Moussa Sow. Hope we could follow up this interest with a bid for either. Both fantastic players and would fit the bill perfectly. Ed, opinions? {Ed005's Note - I've heard good things about Sow but I haven't seen him play myself so I'm undecided to be honest. Podolski is a top player IMO however I think we're in need of a poacher/off the shoulder type. Not sure if Podolski is that. However I would really like Podolski to sign, think him, Suarez and Bellamy would make an excellent front-line.}


First of all how can you be 'undecided' about Sow if you've never even seen him play? That's just stupid beyond belief! You can't even have an opinion until you at the very least watch a few videos of him on youtube! Second, Podolski isn't that good, look at his goal scoring stats on Wikipedia (if you can be bothered you lazy fart) Podolski is well overrated. Why do you think Bayern got rid of him? {Ed016's Note - Makes sense if you don't know something you are undecided, otherwise you are making a judgement based off of no facts and therefore ignorant, like you and the FA.}
