Pls post in rumours. .

a little song i thought was funny. . (but for the bar)
torres is a judas. . we thought he was a red
but now hes down at chelsea
his wifes in JTs bed
juuuuuuuuudas juuuuuuuuuudas

however. . on the terraces we should sing his actual song. . the one we sang with passion. . in front of of all the dirty chelsea players and fans on sunday and see torres's heart break. . we're liverpool, we need to remind him what hes gonna miss, not cheap insults. .

the young lads burning the shirt will learn, they were hurt like the rest of us. . an emotional reaction the cameras encouraged. im sure they regret it. . naive and young.

fact is we're stronger and becoming a family again. walk on, walk on. .

Ed just a question because I was watching the real madrid game against osasuna that they lost the commentator said Alonso and mourinho are not on good terms do you think it is futile to bring him over with KK in charge with other world class players in the summer, worth a try.?


hibsylfc {ed's note - I can't see Mourinho being there next season anyway.}

If reina goes what about that keeper from lyon lloris is it what you think ed

DARCY YNWA {ed's note - not for me, he is a bit error prone. I would prefer De gea or Asenjo or one of the good Germans.}

Hi Ed's - it's shents.
Just a note of thanks to Ed's for posting my comments and providing your thoughts on the subject.

Having read Ed's comments - I re-read the rule paragraph and I bow to your wisdom. (and Master's in English :-)
My error was reading Uefa Club competions as UEFA Cup - (I know - what a person :-) )

Thanks again guys. Keep up the good work and don't let the mindless fools who slate Ed's get to you - the rest of us appreciate you efforts.

Shents. {ed's note - those UEFA rules are not exactly easy to understand, I have read them hundreds of times now and still not 100% on them!}

Well done to the eds over the last few days, difficult to keep the site ticking over with all the madness. It seems that seeing as they will both have just 12 months left to run on their contracts in the summer, that Ashley Young and Charlie Adam may be subject to bids from Liverpool, as their respective clubs know that they are unlikely to sign new deals. Rumours suggest that we were juggling a lot of deals going into the last few days of the window but the Torres situation meant that not all of them were secured. Definitely expect a left back in the summer, perhaps a centre back (not an immediate priority) and a winger, maybe two. We've all heard of interest in Marveaux, but Gervinho, Hazard and Turan may also be targeted. Would love Aguero but not sure what his new contract entails clause-wise. (There were apparently tax issues with the old one.) I'll round this long post off by suggesting that we should look at Neven Subotic, excellent young defender (given his age I wouldn't be surprised if he was on our radar) that has apparently got a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for 20 million euros. Ed, what do you think of Subotic/ any knowledge on his contract?

Rush {ed's note - I don't know about Subotic's situation off the top of my head, when I get a chance I will see what I can find out though.}

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 22:51:15
So happy. babel and torres for suarez and carrol. . similar money value. . but 2 proven strikers. our main problem was scoring goals and now we just need the midfield to service these 2 up front and the forwards will wreak havoc on the lessor teams.

cant wait for the future, great job eds over the past few months, u guys must live by the computer reading and responding to peoples rubbish haha

do u expect much to happen in the summer, as in money available from the tores sale?

tris {ed's note - I expect a few in and a few out, I wouldn't want to name names now because I am sure it will completely change by the summer.}

 

01 Feb 2011 22:49:48
ED, is suarez available to play tomarrow? Plz post {ed's note - yes.}

 

01 Feb 2011 22:49:20
Ed how much influence do u think the mother f**ing whiskey nose's comments (adam's crosses are worth £10m) had Adam not coming to lfc. Do u think it turned holloway's head that he is worth more he thought?
kopking {ed's note - no, it was not that.}

 

01 Feb 2011 22:38:14
With you ed, a winger and a lb, can kelly cover at cb if required? what your views in the central mid, if gerrard was to be injured next season or suspended, should'nt we think about bit of quality there and off load a few, we should have the funds, also don't we have cash coming from juve for aquilani to come in the summer,

i would be hoping for 4 players of quality my self come the summer

what you think ed, on these points

phil - belfast {ed's note - I was thinking Shelvey and Coady to provide CM cover and Ayala and Kelly to cover centre back.}

 

01 Feb 2011 22:37:41
Ed I just don't see reina doing what torres did because he has been a couple of times and he is the one that always sorted things out for the new foreign players when they came in.He genuinely cares and he never sulks and drives the team forward.Plus he could have done a runner now with selfish torres all he had to do was put a transfer request in. So I can't see that coming but if you all remember every transfer window we always had clubs after torres because he obviously was open to offers there is no smoke without fire.

Hi ed why do you think we could not get young now and what will change in the summer in regards his availability? and who do you think we should buy? thankyou

hibsylfc {ed's note - Villa will buy again in the summer and they know Young is unlikely to sign a new contract to stay there. Personally I think we just need a left back and a couple of wingers in the summer. What about you mate?}

id like us to get a lb glen johnson has done really well since hes been over there, but i know hes not permanent there, so yeah lb and 2 wingers and maybe replace poulsen and lucas with better mids and a centre back i think we need to improve r centre backs cos skrtel and the greek rnt good enough

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 22:30:59
Ed, do ya think we'll pursue adam and young again in the summer? and whats the latest on marveaux?

{Editor Note: I think we will, and no news on Marveaux.}

Ive read a lot about wingers targeted in the summer.
Who are the strongest linked targets ED? Also if we do get a right winger do you see no room for Kuyt in the team?

{Editor Note: I think Ashely Young will be a target.}

Apparantly Torres is Drogba's replacement.
Drogba is to leave this summer.
Ed have you heard anything to back this up

{Editor Note: No.}

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 21:32:58
Liverpool will target further reinforcements in the summer transfer window.
Expect to see King Kenny target Fucile for full back cover, with a strong possibility that Johnson could be moved out to Tottenham.
Micah Richards could again be bid for, depending on city's summer spending.
A centre half will be targeted, with Cahill and kjaer the most likely targets. Jovanovic could be swapped in any move for kjaer.
Left back is another position to be filled, with coentrao, baines and cissokho high on the list of possibles.
A centre midfielder could be signed, depending upon players out, with Adam a possible, although interest will be high. I would expect KK to watch banega, matuidi and flamini to fill this position.
Wingers will be signed, with marveaux likely to arrive and turan a favourite of KK, although plenty of players will be considered, including young, mata, drenthe, Jarvis, payet, n'zogbia and Milner just some of the possibles!
I would expect a further striker to be signed, someone with pace or a fox in the box. . Benzema or lukaku could be signed.
Good times ahead for Liverpool. .

Don't be surprised if reina leaves end if season.the team he wants to leave for? Arsenal.mark my words he wants to play for them.Tell them ed.

{Editor Note: Would Scrooge/Wenger match our valuation for Reina? I doubt it.}

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 20:57:28
To all you liverpool fans that are not so happy with LFC only signing 2 players of any significant you all have to look at the bigger picture here. We already have a big squad with a lot of over paid players so we have to ship out the likes of poulson and MJ ect not because of lack of funds but simply because we are over staffed with under quality players.

( So don't go and blame the EDs for no one coming in! In my opinion the EDs do a great job and don't get enough credit-keep up the good work ed) {ed's note - cheers mate. I think what we have done is improved the team in January and I am looking forward to the rest of the season now.}

 

01 Feb 2011 20:57:08
Ed will Suarez play 2mor {ed's note - I expect him to, who else can we play up front?}

Poulsen or mum Konchesky.

 

01 Feb 2011 20:57:03
The Europa League eligibilty issue appears to be causing some confusion but the way I read it is :
If Suarez has been fielded by Ajax in the Champions League and they have now been relegated to the Europa League he CANNOT play for Liverpool.
If Ajax are knocked out of the Round of 32 by Anderlecht Suarez becomes eligible to play in the Round of 16 - Provided Liverpool have registered him as an additional squad member of the 3 they are allowed to register today February 1st 2011.
In short, LFC had to register him today hoping that Ajax get knocked out of the Round of 32.
Carroll should also have been registered today to make him eligible for Europe.

 

01 Feb 2011 20:56:16
Macca thanks for all the info over the last couple of months. Really appreciate you passing on what you know to us fans who have been dying to know whats going on!
One question for you. .Do you have any info on Reina he is such an important player in our team & I really hope he is happy & will not follow Torres out, he in my mind is irreplaceable.
Would really appreciate it if you could pass on any info to put my mind at rest.

Thanks.

Why should liverpool go for another striker. In my eyes they've got 3 quality strikers. Why do they need another. So stop sending all these messages about us getting a new striker. All I know we want a winger to support Suarez and Carrol

ur right we need a winger or 2 now, how about mirko marin ed what u think in summer we should try sign him {ed's note - I haven't seen enough of him to make my mind up to be honest.}

 

01 Feb 2011 20:17:00
Quote: Noticed the post below (from KopIdol) re Suarez' eligibility ya da ya da. . and I think there's a key word that may have been overlooked that seems to imply he is eligible.
That key work being 'fielded'.

That's right. think back to Owen. He was left on the bench for Liverpool in Europe because he would have been cup tied should he move - to Real Madrid as it was at the time. Suarez should be OK for Europe

 

01 Feb 2011 20:15:05
Please post this rumour:

All the gossip about the owners having to spend the Torres money are incorrect. I have it on good grounds that Liverpool have approx 70m for summer signings and will be looking at signing Young, Adam, and Benzema. We are also looking at strengthening other areas but I have not been told of any other players coming in. We put a bid in for Young for 18m but it got rejected and told to come back in the summer.

The bad news is Reina also wants out, he will be gone in the summer. He isn't enjoying life with LFC and is very annoyed that he can't have his own trainer. I am more gutted about this news than Torres going. Just hope it isn't to the gobsh***s up the M62.

I have this news from a very reliable person who knows an ex-player who was involved in the Torres transfer, not hard to work out. He told me about the Torres deal weeks ago, he had his head turned in the summer by Chelsea.

Ed can suarez play in the europa leauge then or not iv tried to work it on the site but people are saying yes some saying no what does it look like?

{editor: I don't think so.}

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

according to Alan Green on 5live tonight Suarez can play in the Europa league. and himself, Graham Taylor and Chief football reporter for the BBC Mike Ingham went on to slaughter Torres for his comments about going to a big club and general disrepect towards us, and all thought we had done excellent business in our transfer dealings after being put in such a position by Torres. . they didn't pull their punches with him and said he has stained his reputation forever with the way he treated the fans and club. . ripping stuff!

Red til Dead

 

01 Feb 2011 20:10:51
Can someone open the transfer window please, I want some more signings

 

01 Feb 2011 20:10:38
ED / / will torres play against as on sunday {ed's note - personally I wouldn't be surprised if he chipped his nail varnish or something and wasn't fit. But he is certainly talking like he will play.}

Hi Ed's

Noticed the post below (from KopIdol) re Suarez' eligibility ya da ya da. . and I think there's a key word that may have been overlooked that seems to imply he is eligible.
That key work being 'fielded'.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he has been fielded yet in the Ueropa Cup so perhaps he is eligible afterall. (I say perhaps because I'm sure there's all sorts of rules and regs that probably contradict each other.)

Anyway, personally I read this to mean he is eligible.
Well done to KopIdol for finding this.
(Original post below for ref.)
Cheer - Shents.

done some research on the Suarez Europa league eligibilty and found this

18.18 One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club
competition matches for another competing club in the current season may
exceptionally be registered provided that the player has not been fielded:
− in the same competition for another club; or
− for another club that is currently in the same competition. {ed's note - that is a very good point, but he did play for them in the Champions League and now they are in the Europa League he is ineligible.}

Ed/ / / harry rednapp is a joke big time charlie, what a wa**er chasing are targets to bump there price up. sniffing round like a lost dog on ssn being all smug made a tit out of himself when the tangys called his bluff ha ha ha . what u think ed

{Editor Note: Stinks of desperation if you ask me. They are packed with central-midfielders and it seems as if he just wanted to get someone for the sake of it.}

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 19:28:36
01 Feb 2011 18:37:58

/ / Decent English players worth targeting:

Leighton Baines
Garry Cahil
Ashley Young
Micah Richards
Charlie Adam
James Milner
Adam Johnson

/ / Decent Foreign players worth targeting:

Javier Martinez
Keisuke Honda
Arda Turan
Edin Hazard
Fabio Coentrao
Juan Mata
Bastian Schweinsteiger

if we sign any of these we'll be sorted!

BENNOMANNNNNNNNN!

{Editor Note: Adam is Scottish by the way.}

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I am suprised we didn't put a bid in for Leighton Baines this window as he is a Liverpool supporter and Everton are close to administration. Maybe in the summer?

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 19:00:22

Please post this on rumours site

Carrol will be out for approx 3-4weeks, alan pardew stated he would be out for 5-6weeks so pick which one you prefer,

cheers Simon

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 18:42:12
Just heard from a good mate of mine that is part of the backroom staff that Liverpool to target Contrao, Young and Cahill in the summer.
Anyone else heard anything along these lines? ?

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 18:41:56
Good Evenin ED, Can you post this please on the Rumour site.

We had to spend the Torres money asap, other wise we ran the risk of banking it, and losing a high % to the tax man at the end of the financial year.

Least this way we spent what we earnt so there is no profit to be taxed.

Also Torres = Toserr, fancy coming out with the most unrespectful thing in his interview today, lets make sure we beat "small time charlies" Chelsea on sunday as we are LFC! !

LFC1

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 17:57:23
Just wanna know if the Marveaux interest
is still alive?

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 17:06:35
NESV will assemble a team of "super-scouts"across the world to find talents in the following positions:
-Defense(ambitious NESV want Ramos CB/ LB)
-Midfield(Young will be intesily scouted, adam is gone of the list and replaced by more quality youngsters in the passing role, javi martinez. Also a right winger)
-Young attacker(Lukaku, muniain, sordell, wickham)

Youg is the most likely of those and a bid will be put in place in summer, other options will be found and considered for the other positions.

As Ajax are in the Europa League Suarez cannot play for us. If they had qualified for the next round of the champions league then he would have been ok.

I've included my email so if you want the link for the full set of regulations let me know.

Please post on the rumours page

Just noticed this in Carroll's first interview on LFC official site:


How much are you looking forward to making your Liverpool debut?

"I can't wait. I just need to get myself fit and then look forward to my debut. I'm just working in the gym at the moment and hopefully will start running soon. I just want to get started."

Just how long is he out for?

 

01 Feb 2011 15:35:15
Ed a d Macca when is Carrol going to be fit to play will he be able to play against Chelsea and what players do you expect to be signing in the summer because we are in need of a left back and a couple of wingers.

Cheers {ed's note - he was due back in training yesterday, I would doubt he would be fit enough to face Chelsea, but maybe. As for the summer, I wouldn't like to say right now, it could completely change by the time the window opens.}

To those moaning about the owners not spending enough, Chelsea offered 50m to buy torres off us which we had to accept because it is in his buyout clause - this was 2 days before transfer window deadline (why would we try to spend 50m as quickly as we can and not get good deals).
If the Torres deal didn't happen and the owners bought Adam then we would have spent about 32M overall - stop moaning! We'll get more players in the summer.

01 Feb 2011 15:27:04
Ed wot reason do you think torres lied to the fans of lfc imean coming out on record saying he would honour his contract only to put a transfere request in a few weeks later you can sort of understand him wantin champs league footy but if that's the case y didn't he go in the summer theres summat abit strange about all this don't you think? ive got to say i hope he plays sunday and gets the abuse he deserves hope carragher or gerrard give him a good kicking {ed's note - because there would be no hope of Chelsea being able to come in for him in the summer. They will have their hands tied by the financial fair play ruling.}

Attached is the transcipt of some text messages between Andy Carroll and a close friend of his during yesterdays rediculous events. Thought everyone should read these:

Full message reads as follows:

"I have known Andy Carroll for 6 years and he is a great lad. A Newcastle fan at heart and someone who dreamt of wearing the NO.9 shirt at St James. He was proud to follow in Alan Shearer footsteps.I was with him with my mate Chris Liddle after the Sunderland game and he was adamant that he was staying and that a move did not interest him. Yesterdays events happened so quickly and I was stuck in the maelstrom of one of the biggest transfers in British history. This wasn't a set up. These texts have been made public with Andy's permission and I'm happy to help my mate. I have helped set up his only interview which will break later today.Ask yourself what you would do in Andys position? A club that has already said they intend to buy young players and sell on at a profit. Football is a short career and you have to look after yourself in this world. This move was not engineered by Andy. He is a small cog in a big wheel. He is a rising star with a bigger pay packet now. As a fellow Gateshead lad I wish him all the best and will welcome him back to Newcastle anytime. I hope other fans will do the same. Good luck mate.

Here is a transcript of the texts that i made and received.

Sunday 30th January 14:37
SW: Are you leaving mate?
AC: I'm not going anywhere mate.

Monday 31st January 16:28
SW: Liverpool in for you mate. Any truth in that?
AC: Dunno what's happening yet still mate. Thanks.

17:02
SW: Sky Sports say it's a matter of time mate. What's club said?
AC: they have kind of said we don't want u but want me to say I wanna go. And I said I don't want to go.

17:26
SW: Have you put in a transfer request?
AC: No I didn't that's what I mean that's what they wanted me to do and I said no.

17:27
SW: So they want you to go?
AC: They said they wanted to accept it.

17:28
SW: So you have no choice?
AC: Looks like it.

17:31
SW: Your agent will be doing ok out of this. When you going?
AC: I don't know mate. Gutted tho.

17:32
SW: Any message you want put across to the fans? I'm happy to do that for you mate.
AC: They said they wanted the money.

17:37
SW: Anything else?
AC: Gutted to be leaving Newcastle but I was kind of pushed out the door.

17:41
SW: That it?
AC: Just what i've just said really. Gutted to be leaving my home club but I was practically told to go. Didn't want to leave that's why i signed a 5 year deal.

17:47
SW: I will pass these onto the press lads I know.
AC: Sound mate.

17:56
SW: Can you give press lads a call to do an interview when deal done?
AC: I will yeah. I will speak to him later. Bit busy atm mate."

Looks like KK's got a reluctant new striker and a bit of a job to do getting his head focused.

Last season Maxi Rodriguez wasnt eligible to play for Liverpool because Atletico were also playing in the Europa League (They finished 3rd place in CL group behind Chelsea and Porto to advance to Europa League).

In different case, Pedro Mendes have played in the CL for Rangers but since Rangers were 4th in their group (out of all european competitions) he was eligible to play in the Europa League for Sporting in February.

Since Ajax finished 3rd, i think he is not eligible to play as Maxi can't play for Liverpool last season

In different case, Pedro Mendes have played in the CL for Rangers but since Rangers were 4th in their group (out of all european competitions) he was eligible to play in the Europa League for Sporting in February.

Since Ajax finished 3rd, i think he is not eligible to play as Maxi can't play for Liverpool last season.

Hi,
I think everyone is missing the point about Torres going here, stop having a go at the club, Torres put in a transfer request, so f*** him, great player but like the so called badge kissers who love the club for ever he has no loyality at all. so why keep him. and then he comes out with a statement about joining a big club to fullfill his ambition, kn** head.
Carroll was stupid money but have faith in Kenny, he knows what he is doing and what he wants. .
YNWA boys, but Torres will from now on. .

Why are we assumming Pepe is going? just cos he is spanish like torres doesn't mean he will do the same.

he has come out everytime an article as been in the press to say he is happy at the club and doesn't want to leave. he even encouraged torres to do the same (but he wouldnt). .

Pepe will be at this club for years to come, we defo won't be selling him to united/ arsenal or anyone else for that matter x

 

01 Feb 2011 14:53:21
Luiz Suarez should be able to play in the Europa League, yes Ajax are in the Europa League but they have yet to play a game in it, so Suarez hasn't played for them in the competition for them so he shouldn't be cup tied

{Editor's Note: I am by no means sure this is correct.}I don't think he can play in europa lge bcoz he played in champions lge for Ajax.

I believe the rule is that you are allowed to replace/ add just 1 player to your 25 man squad that has already played in the Champions League/ Europa League. That 1 player will be eligable to play for their new club in Europe. (Torres can play for Chelsea in the CL, for example).

Hi ed, apparently Torres can play in CL after playing for us in the europa, so surley saurez can play for us in the europa

WRONG! torres can play because u can't go from Europa league into CL but you can drop out of CL and go into europa league, that's why suarez can't play and torres can

Suarez can play because he played only in Champs Lg not Europa

PEPE will be sold in the summer between £20/ £28m with MAN UTD ARSENAL needing a top class keeper and can both offer CL.Thay both kept there powder dry giving them the funds, also MAN CITY ARE VERY KEEN and could offer a swap+cash deal.But my money is on CHELSEA getting him and lets not forget that PEPE could have 10years top flight left in him.

That is correct although between these dates, a net loss of £39m is allowed until break even in 2015. Owners are allowed to add a further £30m to their books although this can only be spent on infrastructure (ie. stadium, training facilities etc.)

Copied from Uefa rule bbok on official site, with regards to questions about Suarez eligilbility. . Read it a few times, but still not 100% sure, what do you make of it rd?

18.07 As a rule, a player may not play in a UEFA club competition (i.e. UEFA
Champions League and UEFA Europa League, but not UEFA Super Cup) for
more than one club in the course of the same season. Exceptionally,
however, a player who has been fielded in the first, second or third qualifying
round of the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League is entitled to
play in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League for another
club as from the group stage, provided that his former club did not qualify for
the group phase of either the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europa
League; moreover, as from the start of the round of 32 (round of 16 for UEFA
Champions League), a player can be registered in accordance with
paragraphs 18.17 to 18.20 below. For the avoidance of doubt, a substitute
player who has not been fielded is entitled to play for another club competing
in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League in the course of
the same season, provided that he is registered with the UEFA
administration in accordance with the present regulations.

RE:Then haggling over a couple of mil for Adam - damien comolli

Well our budget was £10million, when we where haggling over Adam. So we didn't want to over spend. Then the 50 million came in for Torres. So they went nuts with the purchasing.

Hello eds. Brilliant effort yesterday and thanks for an awesome site.Much appreciated. Who do you think was the main instigator in yesterdays transfer window? King Kenny or Commoli? Or was it a joint decision by all concerned?

Hi Ed - Great site, was glued to my screen all day yesterday.

Quick question - what do you think of Camolli?

He doesn't appear to have a clue if you ask me - 12.7 to 22.8 for Suarez?

Then haggling over a couple of mil for Adam - who we look like we have now lost to spurs in the summer if you believe what Harry has said to sky news this morning about them making a last minute bid last night and it nearly come off. . !

the reason we wouldn't pay the 14 mill being asked for is come the summer adams is into his final 12 months meaning he can sign a pre contract with someone the following January, meaning the asking price will drop dramatically in summer, lets just hope its us he wants to play for and not old whiskey nose

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I don't think it matters if you played champions lge or europa lge.The rules state that a club is allowed one player who has played in europe for another team.Therefore Suarez would be elgible to play for us eveb though he played champs lge for Ajax

Can Suarez play in the europa league? {ed's note - no, because Ajax are in it he becomes ineligible.}

How can a player be ineligible (or cup-tied) for a competition he hasn't played in? Does this mean Torres can't play in CL? If he can because he never played a game in the Europa lg with Liverpool then it makes you wonder why he never did. Remember wen hodgson stated he would play him, then changed his mind based on the medical staff? What if it was Torres making sure he would be eligible for the CL, knowing he would move in January!?! :)

Either way it's a stupid ruling if you sign for a club you should be able to play in any future game that club is involved in.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hilarious! MB is too well a respected businessman to be caught up in something like that! You've been watching too many movies mate!

As for the loan signings, I'm 99.9% sure that in the PL clubs can only sign goalkeepers as emergency injury cover, and they need to go to a panel to have it rubber stamped. It is usually only done as an extreme last resort because of the paperwork involved. . But it isn't uncommon, I think Blackburn did it last season? There is usually one every 18mts or so. .

Finally, I think that if you play in Europa you can still play in the champions league, but you can't go the other way, although this is unconfirmed. . As Ajax haven't played in Europa yet, he may be elidgeable. . Maybe a UFEA test cast? The Suarez ruling?!

Lads first post, but following this great site for ages.

Question for the Eds and everyone.
Do you think Harry found out about our targets and started to put high bids in to try and derail them.I think he was caught out with the Adam bid being accepted and then pulled out giving the excuse he missed the dead line by 2 minutes.But didn't Arsenal and Spurs get dead line extended before, trying to get paperwork into the F.A.

Cheers

01 Feb 2011 12:23:13
Riddle me this ed? Can we say NESV/ Fenway Group has made a "statement of intent" with the purchases of Caroll and Suarez? Think about it. Sold Torres & Babel for a combined fee of £56 mill and bought Caroll & Suarez for £57 mill. Is that a statement of intent? For me, keeping Torres and buying both Caroll & Suarez would have been a statement of intent. The question still lingers, would we have stumped up £22mill for Suarez if Torres wasn't leaving?

Don't get me wrong, I am in total support of what the owners are doing. Kicking out those other yanks and wiping off our debts is enough for me to be grateful for. However, I just feel that we should ease up on brandishing around that phrase.
Would love to know your thoughts.

Please post on rumours.

It was called off because he wasnt ready for first team action.He is after being injured and wasnt fully fit and nigel clough thought it be better if he rehabilitates at liveropool.

A club can request to sign a player on emergency basis, e.g. if several goalkeepers are injured at the same time. In England, clubs from the Football League Championship to the Football Conference can loan in players from 8 September to 25 November and also from 8 February until 24 March. An existing loan deal can be made permanent at any time outside the transfer window.

I guess this means that PL clubs can't loan in outside the window ed? ? {ed's note - that's my belief too, I really can't find anything in the FA's handbook pertaining to loaning in players outside of the transfer window.}

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 11:06:33
Fellow reds - lets forget FT and put all our energy into supporting the new lads and KK til the end of the season and lets see where we end up. I for one am very happy with our business and despite the owners not spending a fortune when you consider the sales - the effort and willingness to show their intent was there. If we can have a good run til the end of the season and look to win the Europa League, I think summer will prove to be a vital period in LFC's history - hopefully with KK still at the helm. Eds one question, am I correct in thinking Warnock can still sign on loan? I think the lad would do a good job for us and certainly give more options - i.e. Playing Johnson in advanced role. Come on reds as KK keeps saying lets stick together as one! Starting at Anfield tomorrow! {ed's note - I have been searching through the handbook (hence the gaps in editing!) but can't find any reference to signing loan players outside of the window. I am not sure if I am missing the section or if it is just not possible, but I think it means we can't sign outside of the window.}

Hey all and eds,

Eds, do you think the combined package of carroll and suarez will exceed shirt sales than that of the ex number 9 (combined) and do you think torres will still end up being number 1 for shirt sales?

Chris {ed's note - Torres + Liverpool > Torres + Chelsea in terms of shirt sales. Unless they win the Champions League and the Premier League, there will be a significant dip in sales of Torres merchandise. You only had to look at the numbers of people outside of Chelsea waiting to greet him, both of them looked bored and uninterested, compared to huge crowds waiting to mob Liverpool arrivals.}

 

01 Feb 2011 11:00:55
Ed. .with all the reaction to our two big signings yesterday (and what brilliant signings they are!) there had been very little/ no mention of the young lad Thomas we've brought in on loan. What do you think his involvement will be for the rest of the season/ beyond and will he be a decent long term addition? Cheers. .great site! {ed's note - I have heard a lot about him, he has been talked up a lot as a future star, but I know nothing more than that. He is an England youth star though, so he must have something as England have some quality players coming through right now.}

i doubt torres will play. because he knows whats gonna happen with the fans he won't get a good reaction from lfc fans.

cos he is a coward.

also i think friday or saturday chelsea say he has a slight knock and it rule him out of sundays game

and then from there on. he prob play a few games and get injured

01 Feb 2011 10:37:22
Hi, Ed
What do you think about these math?

Babel = 6mil
Suarez = -23mil
Nesv invested 17mil.

Torres = 50mil.
Carrol = 35mil.
Left from FT 15mil.

End of transfer day we officially were bidding
Micah Richards 20mil
Charlie Adam 10mil
Total 30mil

From FT we were left with 15mil therefore N.E.S.V. were going to invest another 15mil
Therefore total investment =17mil+15mil = 32mil
I think we have to have faith in our owners now.
Please comment ed. {ed's note - they were willing to invest, I really don't understand why people were or are upset with them.}

We would have had to pay twice as much as Spurs, who Adam has no interest in moving to, hence Oyston being happy to sell him there. It was spite, pure and simple spite.}

01 Feb 2011 08:31:11
Eds, re torres, sponsors, image rights etc, just a thought, as sponsored by addidas, did he need to move to a club branding addidas to keep up his sponsorship with them?

Chris {ed's note - no he moved to a club that offered him huge money to go there.}

Morning ed. So what actually happened with Charlie Adam? Is he likely to come in the summer?

{editor: Who knows now. His chairman is bitter at him for taking the club to a tribunal over his promotion payments. He could be here in the summer.}

 

01 Feb 2011 08:23:08
Hi Ed - Great site, was glued to my screen all day yesterday.

Quick question - what do you think of Camolli?

He doesn't appear to have a clue if you ask me - 12.7 to 22.8 for Suarez?

Then haggling over a couple of mil for Adam - who we look like we have now lost to spurs in the summer if you believe what Harry has said to sky news this morning about them making a last minute bid last night and it nearly come off. . !

We just don't seem to have been slick in this window - or have I got it wrong?

{editor: I think Comolli is a good scout. He tried and succeeded with Suarez and Carroll but Blackpool woundn't let Adam go.}

 

01 Feb 2011 08:10:18
Although I'm very happy with the 2 major signings yesterday can I just point out that Liverpools new owners haven't actually spent alot of their own money!
We sold Torres and Babel for around 56m and bought Carroll and Suarez for 57-58m! Why are they being credited with all this praise!
Surely if we had signed a LB and Winger then praise could be given but that's all they have done is replaced two players!

Also I heard a rumour Turan will def join in the summer!

Paulmondo YNWA

{editor: Your right they didnt spend much but, if this were Hicks and Gillett it would be spent on deby repayments.}

 

01 Feb 2011 08:02:53
Ed can you please confirm when Carroll is expected back?

{editor: 5th Feb.}

 

01 Feb 2011 07:51:26
Just a thought. Both Suarez and Carroll got 5 1/ 2 year contracts. Takes them up to KK's 65th birthday. Cincidence? Perhaps he might get 5 years come the end of the season.

 

01 Feb 2011 07:21:14
I didn't think Andy Carroll could sign with us as he had been ordered to live with Kevin Nolan by the Newcastle courts?

{editor: He may have to live with Gerrard. That would be very interesting.}

 

01 Feb 2011 07:18:19
Can we still make a loan deal, ie a left back.

{editor: I think so, yes.}

 

01 Feb 2011 07:16:18
Ed, would you agree with me on this or is it just wishful thinking. .the reason we did not sign a winger is because the players we want were not available i.e sanchez, Hazzard, payet and turan and will be pursued in the summer

{editor: I expect to see a winger top of the list in the Summer.}

 

01 Feb 2011 07:08:33
Hey ed, do you have any idea how long will it take for andy carroll to get fit, from now. .
plz post on rumour

{editor: Saturday is his expected return date.}

 

01 Feb 2011 06:44:01

TEAM TO MOST LIKELY PLAY CHELSEA.

 

01 Feb 2011 06:26:31
Is carrol fit to play Sunday

{editor: Hopefully, it will be touch and go.}

 

01 Feb 2011 04:08:05
We can neva say wat will happen wit kk mayb suso or pacheco will b given a chance?to play as wingers wat do u think ed?iim begging u pls post this I'm on my knees!

{editor: Maybe Pacheco may get more time in the Europa league with Suarez ineligable to play. I can't see Suso getting game time anytime soon.}

 

01 Feb 2011 04:06:51
Now that Suarez and Carroll are with us now. Will they be playing against Stoke City Wednesday? I know Andy is injured, but what about Suarez? Also, any idea if Fernando will play against us next week? I could only imagine the reception he'll get from the traveling supporters at Stamford Bridge next week. Ed, thoughts?

{editor: Suarez will play, Carroll wont. Torres I hope he plays.}

 

01 Feb 2011 03:52:03
ANDY CARROLL WOULD KNOCK A COW OUT IN 1 PUNCH! Weve finally got a hard b****rd to knock down the defence walls and set Suarez free. Must say im absolutely gutterpointed about Torres i really thought he would become a true Lfc great. Oh well YNWA. Please post on rumours

 

01 Feb 2011 02:55:04
Ed whats the chances we have signed another player but awaiting formalities and won't hear about it til the morning?

Anto lfc

{editor: Unlikely mate and I wouldnt hold your breath.}

 

01 Feb 2011 02:53:31
Get a grip, blackpool didn't reject our bid of 10m cos we didn't did 10m, spuds had a bid of 6.5m accepted, they missed the deadline by 2 mins, we didn't increase our bid for adam,

{editor: We had a bid of £8m rejected.}

 

 

 

01 Feb 2011 02:05:28

Carroll EPL stats this season so far:

Games : 20
Starts : 19
subbed off : 1
GOALS : 11
ASSISTS : 7
Bookings : 4
Sent off : 0

Scored against : Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool & Arsenal to name a few. .
Home goals : 7
Away goals : 4
Hat-tricks : 1

Profile : 6'3 in height
Strong, reasonably quick, very good in the air (set piece defending and attacking), has good aggression, young and can hack it against 'big' clubs!

Luis Suarez is very quick, has excellent ball control, excellent finishing (bags of goals from pens, free kicks, left foot right foot, head, in & out of the box), very good work rate, technical (can play anywhere in an attacking role), a good dribbler and is a pain in the arse to mark!

These two have masses of potential and are both young and hungry. and they're styles should compliment each other very, very well!

Plus they have Kenny as coach!

Im over Torres now, like kenny said, players come and go. .rush, fowler, owen, torres. BUT WE ALWAYS MOVE ON AS A CLUB AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE!

YNWA

Drezperado

A little proposition. Please excuse the loanees etc. Here's my thoughts for the next 8 months.

Remaining games:

Reina

Kelly Carra Agger Aurelio

Johnson Gerrard Meirleles Maxi

Carroll Suarez

Subs: Jones Skrtl Krygiakos Coady Wilson Robinson Lucas Shelvey Cole Ince Suso Sterling Kuyt Pacheco N'Gog

Future: A.Young C.Adam E.Hazard G.Cahill E.Insua K.Honda F.Coentrao

Sell: Kuyt Skrtl Krygiakos Maxi Jovanovic Poulson Aquilani Degen El Zhar Konchesky Aurelio Spearing


Team next season:

Reina

Kelly Cahill Agger Coentrao

A.Young Gerrard Honda Hazard

Carroll Suarez

Of course, this can be rotated with the other stella names on the rise - Suso etc. And some steely defenders and midfielders.

Attack please. Speed, Aggression, Surprise.

A few thoughts from me,

King Tubby.

Ok guys, so today could have gone worse.
suarez - 25million- beats defenders, scores magnificent goals, very determind attitude.

carroll - 35million- Will hold up the ball, bring attackers into play via head ons-flick ons etc. .
scores goals aswell, as we all know already.
will give 100% fight for his shirt.
- FEE WAS BIZZARE, BUT WE GOT 2 STRIKERS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE-

Team at start of next season (hoping)
