Hello eds, with the amount of effort put into signing konolyanka do you think it's possible for Liverpool to reach an agreement for a summer transfer now. Or is it more likely they will wait now till the summer before going for any transfer target. Also with the way the transfer windows have gone do you see FSG making any changes to the way they go about the transfer dealings, maybe get someone in for that role specially
{Ed001's Note - if the owner is unwilling to sell now, in their close season, why would he be willing to sell midseason? And no, I doubt they will make drastic changes.}

Ed's with this talk of the Chinese buying a stake in Liverpool, I was wondering if the area or city of which the club is in has any influence on the potential buyers wanting to purchase a club. In respect of if there is a greater potential to build hotels or things like that for their future investment, in the surrounding area.
Thanks for all you time and efforts.

Hello eds and fellow reds,
I was wondering who decides on the position of the players which require to be strengthened in the transfer windows? As i feel this is where we are going wrong wasting so much money on players which are not needed, and also blocking the path for the younger players to make a breakthrough to the first team. The owners get a lot of stick for not spending money on players on hear but look at what has been spent since they have taken over and the nonsense of net or gross spend is irrelevant as it's how you spend the money not how much you spend. I don't feel anyone can question there ambitions, but I feel there needs to be a shake up of how the club is organised. I feel we don't seem to have a clear plan of what is needed when we sign players the balance of the squad is awful to many attacking players some of which are being played out of position to accommodate them. to many right backs and if the rumours are to be believed still after more yet not enough left backs as Enrique and brad smith doesn't seem to be trusted, leaving just Moreno as a natural left back. The Balotelli signing just seems to sum the whole transfer process up, signing a player who plays best playing of a striker and expecting him to change his game to try and play as Suarez did rather then sign a similar type player to Suarez or change the style of play to suit the players your signing. I feel Brenden needs to go and get a attack minded manager in with a bit more of a back bone in. The way we started the season, the nonsense he talks and the way he accommodates players into a system, rather then playing them where they should be. Is the reason I feel he should go. He hasn't been strong enough with Gerrard accommodating him in roles he can't play like the defensive midfielder where Gerrard has no positional sense for the role causing the centre halfs like Lovren many problems by dropping into there positions for no reason when he should be moving forward then always having to chase back which he hasn't got the legs for now, when teams attack us rather then being in positions to face the oncoming players which Lucas is the only player who has played in the role seems capable to do to often there's a big gap right down the middle when we defend as the midfield seem to be everywhere but where they need to be.
With the owners I feel the abuse they get is unfair I see somewhere under there ownership roughly 45 players have been signed spending over £350 million in the process, so what more can you expect from them if the people who spend it can't spend it wisely. I feel if we had these owners in instead of Hicks and Gillete maybe the perception of them might have been different. I for one don't want liverpool to become a club like city and chelsea and all the other oil rich owned clubs who just go out and buy players for the sake of it, I like the idea of bringing players through the academy and making stars then buying them, otherwise why bother wasting time and money on the academy if you don't have any intention of using them.

Hello Eds and fellow reds,
I was wondering who decides on the position of the players which require to be strengthened in the transfer windows? I feel we waste so much money on players in positions which don't need adding to and in the process block the path to the first team of the younger players. The balance of the squad is terrible, i sometimes look at the team sheet and the subs and think we don't have a big enough squad, but you look through the players we have and the squad really is to big
{Ed002's Note - It will be a joint decision.}

Agreed.
Many important historical decisions have been made over a joint.
Did you know, that under the influence, Hitler decided to continue his March in to Russia on the Eastern Front, well aware of the frozen conditions that lay ahead?
The rest is history, of course, but some on here say Brendan's signings were of a very similar comparison, only to come back to haunt him, albeit on a different scale.

I did see a few things mentioned although it was a few weeks back so can't remember to much of the detail other then changing the dates on the paper work but it was embarrassing an amateurish what was mentioned. Is there anything they can do to prevent these transfers. How many times is it a young kids plays a handful of games at a low club the all the bigger clubs are sniffing around I'd rather they stay where they are till a reasonable age before moving on rather then rot in an academy of a top club. I think deli alli is the perfect example for younger players coming through and they should look at players like bostock or whatever his name was who went to spurs from palace I believe and is unheard of now.
Also my point wasn't a dig at ed2 or anyone or to say it's not just liverpool who do it, it was is there any way they can prevent it happening at that level. Maybe I should have worded it better the only relevant part in it to Liverpool was the court case part.

Ed2 the court case coming you have mentioned is that separate to this stoke kid or is it that case. As I believe that one is going on now. On the Stoke youngster I see his dad was quoted as saying it's a widespread issue in football and not just liverpool although I can't remember the issue he was talking about. Is there anything the fa or uefa can do to stop this or is there just to many loopholes in which clubs use to get around signing the young kids, other than the transfer bans. I would like to see the singing of kids stopped if possible the amount of kids who get signed for big money then just dissappear from the game is crazy.
{Ed002's Note - It is related. Tapping up of kids is a widespread issue - what Liverpool did is not.}

If you watch again the goal WBA scored should not have stood as it was offside. Not sure the player but he's standing right in front of the keeper and if that's not interfering I don't know what is.
