I actually cant wait for this transfer window to be over so we can all live our lives as normal. After the many many hours of sifting through this site amongst others and even longer spent watching sky sports news it will be massively disappointing if we dont sign an impact player.
Jayo


Well that is you piling all the pressure on yourself! you know how LFC operates if we sign someone for the first team it will happen how the club wants it to! I doubt you'll hear it on SKY SPORTS first! no LFC fan should have that s**te!


We r getting no one. Plus according to the mirror Kenny thinks Downing is better than expected. No euro games again next season....

reports in the spain saying talks have begun between liverpool an madrid for suarez i hope its bull

gee man


Total lie. no talks have or will take place, stop trying to mess with people


Link to these "reports" please


I think he will leave, how can he be expected to carry on in this COuntry when he is demonised not just for what he says, but for also his style of football.

he is called a ''diver'', he is called a ''cheater'' and now he will be called a ''racist'' because the F.A chose to believe Evra under fear of press retaliation. Who needs this crap? He can go to Spain and be cheered without the stress, playing with Ronaldo, Di Maria, Kaka, Xabi and in the Champions League.

Who could blame him? I couldn't.


And where have you heard souch rubish?


Why write this crap? I don't get it!?!?!


Why sell Luis now?he s been part of our futur,if we sell him i will never understand what we are doing!Hope it s a joke!


Im liverpool mad im not trying to mess with people it was on newsnow here is the link

elcentrocampista.com

gee man


Predictable jerno rubbish.


The link is closed....i wonder why


This is exactly what it says on elecentrocampista: Liverpool striker Luis Suarez's future at the club has been cast in new doubt this evening after it was reported that negotiations have begun to take him to Real Madrid.

Kenny Dalglish has recently reiterated that Suarez will not be leaving Anfield, but a number of Spanish sites today claim the Madrid club have instructed Fabio Montecalvo from World Football Management to begin talks with Liverpool.

Montecalvo, who has close ties to Florentino Perez, was instrumental in the deal that brought Alberto Aquilani to Anfield and is said to have maintained a strong working relationship with the Merseyside club and it's officials.


Would not be surprised to see him leave, to be honest.


If he goes it must be for at least £50million (not Euros) + a player coming our way - hell they can afford it - if we are going to get prices hiked up when we make enquiries then the door swings both ways

Man u or Everton. My guess is Everton because of the Desperate season they are having. #sherlock

Gazman


"was instrumental in the deal that brought Alberto Aquilani to Anfield" My question, why would we ever again have dealings with Montecalvo after this :-)

Ed, has the Texeira deal been announced from the club yet? Did I miss it? Sorry for asking!


Yes almost done looked at the BBc website


No, it's not complete yet, so no, it's not complete. Nor will it be announced until it is complete.

I know this is an annoying ''truism'' but that's the cut and jib of the situation.

Udinese RB/RW Isla to Liverpool. Fee around 15 Million Euros. TBA next two days.

Just to let all you eager reds out there- I've realised it is futile and a waste of time to keep trawling through every website on the net to see who we will buy this transfer window. Any business will be done on the final day-no need to stress or worry till then. Go and enjoy the rest of the week when we put the mancs back in their place.


Yes and by then we will be out of both cup competitions and nowhere in the league.


I happen to think Kenny and Co are up to something, i believe Grobbo and Lawro threw the mass media on a goose chase, obviously wild, i mentioned ''mass media'', so it was a given. :)

I'm not sure who we are after, i'd be hugely surprised if we didn't try for Honda, knowing the interest in him previously and how the Sponsors are wanting a big Asian player to draw water in the Asian market. I'd be scratching my head at least if £14 million was thought to be too much for a playing who is very creative.

Also Sow, he has publically flirted with Liverpool via the media, the fans want him, he's looking to be for sale on the cheap and again i would be hugely surprised if Liverpool didn't look at capitalising on his desire to represent Liverpool F.C.


I have also had a long standing desire to represent LFC; would you be hugely surprised if LFC didn't capitalise on this too?

Dave Mc


I am not a paid representative of LFC- I am just saying it as it is. Everything will go through on Monday 31st January which, coincidentally, for many businesses, will be a very unproductive day!!


 

 

20 Jan 2012 22:26:06
Granero, He is staying at Madrid. He will fight for his place. He has a new Agent, And if he he doesnt get more playing time, He will move in the summer, We have not shown much interest in him recently, But other clubs are.


 

 

20 Jan 2012 22:05:33
Hi ed's! With only 10-11 days of transfer window! Its gone all quite on any transfers! Surely we need a goal poacher of the bent/defoe nature! I,ve just got a feeling that we will sign somebody big! Any info ov anything happening would be very much oblige! I reckon it will be bent! Keep up the excellent work! Nice 1 L20 Scouser! {Ed001's Note - not heard anything new, Sow threw himself at us and we made no move to sign him. Bent has never been in the reckoning, nor has Defoe.}


We dont need a bent or a defoe you muppet. As if they are good enough to put the shirt on!!!. Honest some people no nothing at all about liverpool football club let alone football


Bent is good enough to wear the shirt, but not at anywhere near his pricetag. Give the guy credit where it's due. He's not flamboyant, but he certainly knows where the net is. Defoe on the other hand isn't good enough.

I hope we can get someone as good as Bent but cheaper and younger from abroad, but that's always going to be a gamble.

hey Eds,

i know one of signings will likely be joao unless we scre up badly, is D texeira still being looked at? or were we only looking at joao. too many texeiras...but they look good {Ed001's Note - I am not 100% sure, I believe so, but I am not sure if people are mixing up their Teixeiras or not. It has become confusing!}

milos krasic between liverpool chelsea and juvents COME ON YOUR REDS GET IN THERE!!


I'm finding it really hard to get excited over a Juve reject, I'm basing that on absolutely nothing but common sense.

I haven't seen him since pre season where he was playing out right and actually firing in some good crosses. However anyone I speak to who follows Juve is less than impressed.

Hopefully he turns out to be immense, but I'm even more hopeful it's a loan initially. Then we can knock down and fee, haggle some more, finally we can turn round and say no thanks.... Aquilani style.


Mates, Krasic is just the same player as Jovanovic,lad can't cope with a presurre Big clubs,not bad player but we don't need another highly paid player
Serbian Pedja


 

 

20 Jan 2012 20:41:48
Any chance of Krasic ed?

Cheers mate,

Evening Ed, if the Tevez deal goes through can you see City moving for DeRossi and if they do could that lead to Johnson becoming available? {Ed001's Note - De Rossi would be a replacement for De Jong and not affect Johnson's position.}


Respected Ed, First time posting. But dont you think Derossi is a forward and how can he be a replacement for De jong...Or per phaps you could please elaborate ?
Great Site... Great work eds.

Regards
Pakistani Red... YNWA {Ed001's Note - De Rossi of Roma? He is a central midfielder. Are we talking about the same player?}


I just dont understand this obession with Johnson - a useless player. Why woud he have problems in nailing a regular place at City if he is that good. If we are to compete for top honours then we should be going for top talent not chasing after rejects! Eds please scrap these Johnson, Bent, Defoe etc rumours


ED I think he is getting mixed up with Giuseppe Rossi...
MansfieldRED {Ed001's Note - ah right, well he is out injured for the season, he won't be joining City this Jan.}


I would love it if we got De Jong of city he is a real warrior in the DCM position

Dave c


Ed I'm aware that DeRossi would replace DeJong positionally however my point was that whereas DeJong doesn't play much DeRossi would and therefore the rearranging of the system may leave Johnson with even less game time.
As for the poster who wants to stop talk of Defoe Johnson and Bent I can assure him all 3 would perform better than Kuyt, Carrol and Downing have so far

Chris in Tamworth {Ed001's Note - De Jong only stopped being picked because of a contract dispute, which is why City want to replace him.}


I wish people would stop going on about Johnson...he's distinctly average, no better than downing, if he was that good Mancini would play him more often.

No bellamy? think some one needs to get back to fifa.

tommy c


Spearing still not 100% being replaced by suso.

gee man


Replace Downing with Bellamy and thats an excellent side.


Sterling and Morgan will not be on the bench


No bellamy???


Sterling and morgan are not in the squad, but suso is


Thats a good team, but somethings missing an i cant pin point what. Good win 2mra 2 set us up 4 a big week.


Bellamy will struggle to play two games in a week with his knees. In my opinion playing him against City in the cup is the priority of the two games as I believe Kenny would. If he wasn't going to play much of a part in the Bolton game I believe someone such as sterling or suso should get a chance


Great rumour you muppet!!


Would put bellamy on the bench at least


Have i missed something but where is kuyt?


I cant see Sterling and Morgan being on the bench mate, i mean i would love to see some of these young lads to start gaining places on the bench some of them look fantastic, and i would love to think some time soon Morgan might pop up and be the next Fowler cause he is a very very good player, but not this season mate, they will probs be taken on the pre season tour of asia in August i would guess and then go from there. But i do have to agree i would save Bellers for City and United


Morgan wont be on the bench he is still with the u18 squad and not even playing much for the ressys at the mo
Carl


Bellamy must start


Bellamy won't play - he'll be saved for City. Can't see Sterling or Morgan being on the bench though.


I'll think you'll find liverpool have named there squad with bellars and coates in!!


Agger is injured


Result draw


Bellamy and Kuyt not even on the bench?! Give me a break mate Bellamy needs to start as we're really lacking the cutting edge with no Suarez!


Have i missed something but where is kuyt? - Hopefully at Speke airport waiting for the next plane back to Holland


I put that team up. Bellamy isn't there because I imagine he'll be saved for city on tuesday. Kuyt to be rested. The younger lads are on the bench because I reckon they're gonna start gettin drafted in and around the first team between now and the end of the season with a view to next season. Ok morgan might not be in there just yet. Spearing on bench and I would think will also start against city.


Haha. So what have you done with Bellamy & Kuyt? And when did Sterling & Morgan take their place? Glad you're not in charge! :p


*cough* bellamy!?


Bellamy


He said bellamy rested for the city game!! can you people not read!?


Close mate unlucky :)

Just been informed that Liverpool have had a loan bid accepted for Granero but QPR have just made an £7mil bid for him accepted also. It's up to the player to decide but it has been reported by various media outlets that he would like to play for LFC. Jimmy Redknipp


Jimmy Redknipp? Go back to kip more like it. Idiot.


Would be a great signing, but I'm afraid your dreaming pal.


Dodgy name or not. Any player that would sign for QPR over Liverpool must be being offered a decent wage, and the people hunting such wages i dont care to see at LFC


The best players get paid more. Due to what they give a club they are worth their pay. Would your ridiculous statement apply to you when you are considering job offers? Therefore you would like to see average players earning average pay at LFC? Is that correct?


Just lolz....


Jimmy Redmuppet - 'Just been informed' um no you haven't, you just sat in front of the mirror and made up a load of rubbish ALONE!


----The best players get paid more. Due to what they give a club they are worth their pay. Would your ridiculous statement apply to you when you are considering job offers? Therefore you would like to see average players earning average pay at LFC? Is that correct?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just lolz....
____

LOL at you, i expect good players to be on good wages at Anfield but i do not expect LFC to be dragged into a wage war for a player that is willing to consider offers from a twam like QPR, his decision even if Liverpool are involved could be down to wages and not wanting to play for the club, Id rather have people wanting to play for the club than suck it dry.

But yea lol whatever u say sausage


 

 

20 Jan 2012 17:27:33
Ed001 do you still think we will sign a striker? is sow still a chance? 10mill seems fair price, surely if we're after him we would have signed him by now with acn starting tomorrow? Also Honda for £11 million sound s a bargain, so makes me think we won't be signing anyone if we're not interested in Honda at that price considering we've watched him in the past!

The freshmaker {Ed001's Note - we have already signed one forward! But I can't see us signing anyone other than the other Teixeira now, all the Europeans don't want to move due to the Euros. Sow is off to the ACON. I think we will only be bringing in players for the future now, this January is just too difficult to get the right players. Unless someone makes a big splash and starts a merry go round off, I really can't see much happening for any club in January.}


I think the problem here is that fair enough we might not sign worldclass players but are targets we have we dont test the water and just bid we have nothing to lose from bidding for a player


Which forward we signed? :S


We have already signed a forward? What? Now he is a forward? Yesterday it was a buy for the future and reserves. Now he is a forward we must be excited about and one we have to take seriously as our January buy? If we dont buy a striker we are seriously mindless.


What striker have we signed ???


Don t want sow please,i am french and he had just one good season at 25!at rennes he was awful!no liverpool material,trust me!lfc forever


Ed ar you refering to Joao Carlos Teixeria as the individual we have signed? If so isn't he an attacking midefielder? I'm not trying to bash the eds just wondering if thats who you were refering to.

KennyD JFT96 {Ed001's Note - that's a forward, it is only recently people have started to refer to them as attacking mids. Playing off a striker with little defensive responsibility is a forward. And yes that's what I was saying.}


 

 

Macca {Ed019's Note - There will be NO fake Macca's today. Get a life}


Hi all
New to this great site. Who or what is Macca and why is the name mentioned so often?


Macca gives us information about Lfc from Ian Ayre or other people within Lfc...Although some people moan far to much if he is not 100% right

MJ


Thanks MJ


Macca is a colloquial term used to describe a Big Mac, if cooked right they can be quite tasty but unfortunately fattening. Other than that he is normally a spot LFC transfer and general tipster regarding the club.


What was the actual rumour? I can't see anything {Ed001's Note - it was removed because it was a fake from someone who had been posting as RedDaz to bitch at the Editors and Macca and then decided to make up some bull.}


Very sad. You should just ban the fakers, should put and end to it

Big D {Ed001's Note - he was banned.}

Reports in spanish media suggest that liverpool are on the verge of finalising the deal to bring Esteban Granero to Anfield

Some reports suggest a deal could be done with in next few days


Spanish media - could you be a bit more specific?


Yes if you give us a link I'll get my Spanish friend to translate for us.


Read somewhere else that a loan had been agreed but that QPR had put a spanner in the works by offering to buy him.

Well for our sake i hope you're wrong!


"No players to Come in january! carlos texeria in!" in the same sentence? really? really?

Get some patience !!

20 Jan 2012 16:52:07
Ed is there any chance that we may renew our interest in honda? {Ed001's Note - seems highly unlikely, unfortunately.}


Very unfortunate we didnt renew interest , he would have been a useful asset to our side


 

 

20 Jan 2012 16:45:40
Liverpool Want Brazilian Striker: Nilmar from villareal' the spanish side are in relagation battle and nilmar wants out


PLEASE let that be true! :D


I think if we did sign him that would be a great link up with suarez


Sad thing is , you know its not true


Highly unlikely; he is 28


Lol utta BS Messi is comming... please let it be true... lol again as a I said utta BS


He is a top player but as most of the site rumours its BS but that is what keeps me looking on this site for pure humour

I heard a couple of weeks ago that Lukaku is getting frustrated with the lack of starts for chelsea and is looking for a load deal. Liverpool were interested in him before Chelsea snatched him up (another talented player we lost out on).

Ed, Do you think we could get him on a load for the rest of the season?

Thanks JD {Ed002's Note - He is not able to go on loan.}


He's already played for two clubs this season, and that's the allowed limit. There is talk of him going on loan next season though, but I highly doubt it'd be to one of Chelsea's direct competitors.


 

 

20 Jan 2012 16:33:38
How accurate are Talksport? 2 potential Liverpool targets in Keisuke Honda and Yann M'Vila on the move to Lazio (£14m) and Inter (£11m) respectively according to them.

We have been heavily linked with both in the past, and if these reports are true, we will have missed out on 2 very good players who will only improve over the next few years. Also would represent value for money, considering the likes of Defoe and Bent rated at £20-25m.

Hope we do get some new blood in over the next 11 days, our attack needs some freshening up!

RedSG


I hate it when we say we have missed out on players!!

rob


Honda was a bargain at 11 million. Gutted we didn't even try and match that, especially with our lack of creativity and threat.

Jonesred


Not very reliable, if reliable at all.


If you listen to Talksport you may as well read the sun. Both are horrid nasty evil puss filled venom... I aint even a Liverpool fan!


Haha m'vila for £11m sums that rumour up.


 

 

20 Jan 2012 16:32:06
For rumour lovers sorry to say but no player is going to sign all of a sudden. So if you do see a rumour saying a player is spotted at melwood or is going to sign in next few hours, ignore them. Because every transfer that do happen have coverage for weeks.


Like torres and carrol?


Apart from Suarez? And andy carrol?

Ashy


Really what about when Carroll signed ?


Well lads isnt it obvious this is kenny posting i wasnt sure as he,s not normally so negative but obviously he,s come on here to let us know not to get our hopes up you may have all thought it was just some negative random no mark sulking because we haven,t spent 300 million yet but no its kenny all along cheers kenny for letting us know there will be no 1 coming in its apreciated lol


Suarez had about a weeks coverage. But Mereiles was another example of 'all of a sudden'.

So shhhhhhhh


Didnt berbatov sign for the manky mob last minute? TheBigMan


Mereiles had weeks & weeks of coverage didnt he!


Suarez had weeks of coverage.... hence the 'tapping up' complaints from Ajax and the increased price!


Right we may as well shut up shop as this guy knows everything and nowts gonna happen ..cheers

Why is it that Liverpool are looking into bidding for aaron Lennon for £16m? Yes he is very fast and skilful, but is end product is poor. Where as for Honda, he is very talented in all attributes. He's fast, skilful, can deliver a good ball and can finish. Why do all the players we sign have to be English. It shows that the majority of the English players are not as talented as the the ones from abroad! I'm have bin a liverpool fan since I was a little lad, I love the club! But I am getting very frustrated with kenny Dalglish. Yes, he is a Liverpool legend but in starting to think whether or not he knows what he's doing! Enrique and Suarez are the only good signings he has made, the rest have been awful! Well I think Henderson is starting to show quality.

Charlie Adam-looked awsum for Blackpool, but it ain't hard for a player to look good in a champion ship side. I would rather play Shelvey or spearing in the middle.

Andy carrol-I have faith in him and always have but he seems to getting worse, it's like he's not enjoying his football at Liverpool and he doesnt want to be there.

Stuart downing-he was very good and consistent for villa but has bin shocking for Liverpool so far, but I blame Dalglish for this, he should always play downing on the left. He was purchased to deliver balls into the box for Carroll, this is another reason why Carroll isn't doing to well.

The reason we are in the position we are in is because of Dalglish!

I'm not saying we need to sack him but someone seriously needs to have a word with him and ask him what the f%#k he is playing at!

And as for signing all these youngsters, does anyone actually think that they are
Going to get the chance to to prove themselves in the first team? I for one think that they won't. Benitez didn't give any of them a chance and neither will Dalglish. The was do much talk about Danny Pacheco, how talented he was and what I seen of him he looked awsum and should of been in the first team but he got left in the reserves without any chance of playing in the first team and is now out on loan and looking like he will be leaving the club. I seriously think that players like Morgan, sterling ect will e lured away if the do not get the opportunity to play in the first team!


Who said we are bidding for Lennon? What makes you think Wenger would let him go half way through a season even if we were daft enough to make an opening bid of £16 mill which would certainly be rejected.You've been visiting too many rumour sites haven't you? Oh bugger yeah we're on a rumour site!


Are you a Liverpool fan? Look at where we were before Dalglish... Bring back Hodgson and Konchesky eh? It's SO easy to pick out players and say they've been shocking but come on... Rome wasn't built in a day and this is an empire that needs rebuilding with time. Big Players aren't going to come to the club because quite simply, we aren't in Europe... We're not the attraction we once were; it happens, deal with it. We'll be back but it needs patience and the fans to be behind the team.. not lambasting them at every opportunity. With a bit of luck going our way (i.e. every goalkeeper not having the game of a lifetime against us and a few of the crossbar/post shots going in) we'd be right up there. Believe guys and gals... we're Liverpool and we never walk alone.

Much love... @talktotippers


About youngsters not getting the opportunity to play... ?!?! Kelly, Robinson, Flanagan, Spearing & Shelvey played reguarly for the reserves or under 18s, before getting called up due to injuries. Thats how it works, you don't just sack your million dollar man to start a 18 year old, not in dalglish' book. you have to take your chance when you get it, and our youngsters did that...


Wenfer let lennon go half way through a season that would take a major upset as wenger would first have to resign from arsenal then spurs would have to sack harry redknap so wenger could take over just so he could tell us to do 1 over a deal for lennon that would be a major shock for that to happen lol


Go and buy a manchester city shirt then. Idiot.


I agree with everything you've said, I have the exact opinion on each subject. So called targets going to other clubs for very reasonable fees, when they would be good additions to our squad e.g. Honda, Sow. It has nothing to do with being in Europe, look at the clubs they're joining. I just hope the club do have plans to spend money on a 1st team striker and winger in this window, because if we don't we will finish below the more ambitious Newcastle.


You absolute bell-end. You say Adam was how you put it awsum!! so no doubt you were screaming for us to sign him when he was doing so awsum last year in the prem ,not the champioship? The same with Downing no doubt you wanted him now its what the f*** is Kenny doing because the lad is low on confidence and struggling.
Plus whoever said we were after Lennon for 16m>? absolutely nobody, just wait for some reliable sources before you start believing links.

And of course you're right why bother with low risk youngsters that could one day break through and save the club absolutely millions, when we can just keep buying other clubs players and paying through the nose while we're at it, you can bet none of the other top clubs are doing the same I mean come on those eejits over in Barcelona somebody really should tell them that everbodies laughing at them.

Dodge


This applies equally to the original poster and everyone who has agreed with him!

"But I am getting very frustrated with kenny Dalglish. Yes, he is a Liverpool legend but in starting to think whether or not he knows what he's doing!"

"The reason we are in the position we are in is because of Dalglish!

I'm not saying we need to sack him but someone seriously needs to have a word with him and ask him what the f%#k he is playing at!"

That's The King you're talking about there, one of our most successful managers in our history, you disrespectful little t**t. How dare you! He's brought us within a gnat's dick of our first final in 5 years, and this is the thanks you give him? There are 19 other Premier League out there to choose from; take your pick and f**k off to one of them if you don't mind


I agree with the last comment........ U absolute bell-end, go buy a city shirt !


Haha some of you fans make me laugh, the man makes some valid points I mean for god sake some of you think Kenny walks on water. Up to now some of his signings looks skeptical and we're entitled to criticise them. We do need new players its as plain as day and if people persist in this Kenny we trust nonsense I'll scream. I honestly wonder if they'll be saying that if we're still 7th come the end of the season. The table doesn't lie.


These fans coming on and blaming the manager when he has only been in the job for one year are shameful. Some of the players he has bought havent settled yet, but we are still playing good football in 90% of matches. He cant help it if the players are missing chances!


Kenny d is an a legend and always will be with red fans but.....would you trust him with another 100mil or so?? His tatcits this year are completley wrong, no one else is to blame if we finsish 7th . Would you rather take carling cup and finsish 7th and the possibilty of our top players leaving or finsh 4th. I love kenny but I thik he needs to go at the end of the season.


How can you blame Dalglish or even suggest sacking him?

This season we have been rock solid in defense, great in midfield but invisible up front. We move the ball round well and look confident.

We battered Stoke for 90 minutes and got a point. With a proper striker and Suarez we would have beaten them.

We are invisible up front as our £35 million signing doesn't look interested in playing for us and Suarez is banned. If we get another striker in and Suarez we will be fine.

As for the £35 million donkey I don't know what will happen but give him until the end of the season at least.

Have faith in Kenny he has the knowledge and the medals!

Gaz1975


Worst spelling I've come across in a long time. And for the internet that's astonishing!


"These fans coming on and blaming the manager when he has only been in the job for one year are shameful. Some of the players he has bought havent settled yet, but we are still playing good football in 90% of matches. He cant help it if the players are missing chances!"

He picks, buys and motivates the players? Of course Kenny can't stick the ball in the net, but he's responsible. So stop wearing your heart on your sleeve and start using your head.


What a D!~K you are pal!!!


Kenny has got the medals but his maagerial carrea is not that great , he inheriited fagns team, blackburn he was lucky with sheare+sutton , celtic any 1 could win that , newcastle nought. Love kenny but not as good as every 1 thinks. He bought the £35mill donkey . As some one just siad would u trust him with more money - defo not


You havnt got a clue about football, your post proves it!


Don't get me wrong, Kenny is a legend, however for those saying we need to give the signings a chance. Did we give RH a chance? We need a striker, a winger and a defensive midfielder otherwise we will not be playing champions league next year. We also need to start playing Downing on the left to service Carroll. Finally for those calling invididuals t**ts etc, sort yourselves out, these are opinions!


I think kennys motivation of players is spot on, his tactics have been good in most of the games bar a couple, but EVERY team has a few of them, I mean in most home draws with better finishing or luck we would have won 4-5 of them = 8-10 points more, we have beaten some good teams away from home and I think apart from the lack of goals that we have been playing the most enjoyable footy I have seen in a long time, some of the signings might come good we will just have to see, but we have to give them until end of season at least , BUT I think if kenny does not address the need for one goal poacher striker + one winger, because 1. Caroll +Suarez (when back) is not enough for any club + apart from Bellamy when he plays on right wing ,we haven't got another one, I think we can all agree on that, + I don't buy that there isn't any players out there to sign that's b******s, I could name a list of players across Europe who are affordable, so surely they can find someone out there with there scouting systems, now if they don't sign at least one of these positions then its going to b a BIG mistake, here's hoping they do + we get a shot in the arm like Suarez gave us last year ,I think that + a bit of luck/better finishing is all we need


To the people who slate the team you are an absolute bunch of f**king morons. downing is a good player so is henderson and he will get better and so is andy carrol. anyone who understands football know this, granted they're not doing very well right now, but that doesnt change the fact that almost every manager in the premier league would have signed them based on their previous form and potential. kk rules


"downing is a good player so is henderson and he will get better and so is andy carrol" - i think you'll find that downing is average, as is henderson (may become good but never great) and carroll is dog sh*te

"almost every manager in the premier league would have signed them based on their previous form and potential" - that's interesting how many bids from other teams were there for these players?

Gav


I can see both sides of this argument and agree with some things from both sides. While it is far too early to start slating Kenny it is quite evident that he is untouchable rightly or wrongly. Because of this i am fearful of how bad things would have to get before fans and the club recognise and deal with things. My slant - King Kenny has got one of the hardest jobs in the prem due to the expectations of the fans and his own love for the club which he wants to put back to the top. Any manager in the world would more than struggle to even get us into the top four due to the money of city & chelsea. Spurs are a new force with a good squad success will be able to get players over us, scummers are always there as are arsenal and as for newcastle not sure what / how things have gone right for them but they needed to be recognised as a danger to kenny project. Our holy grail a few years ago when we was in the top four regular was the top spot this is now the top four its is called perspective, give him time he has brought us on from wobbly woy and other managers have talked of 5 year plans so lets not get giddy after 12 months over and out!


All these Idiots saying go buy a city shirt, telling me I don't know what I'm going about! I have bin a Liverpool fan all my life. And i am also a football fan, I watch as much football as I possibly can whether it not its Liverpool, city, united or Chelsea. I might not have a reliable source who tells me who we are going to sign and what not but I know alot about football and I know what Liverpool need!

Was I the one who started the Lennon rumour? No! I seen it on here and basically pointed out a fact that Liverpool are signing or being linked the wrong players!

And as for the dick that Said I was screaming out sign Charlie Adam and Stuart downing last year when they where playing well, I actually wasn't! And blackpool were in the prem for 1 year. But my point was Adam looking awsum in a Blackpool/championship side! It's like seeing someone play in a Sunday league match and saying he looks awsum, doesnt mean he could play in one of the best teams in Europe!

And to be honest, although he sold te majority of are best players (alonso) but if the was a rumour going about that Benitez was coming back to replace Dalglish, I would be happy. Yeah Dalglish pulled out the slum that hodgeson put us in but I blame hicks and Gillette for that reason!

All you idiots and kids need to learn abit more about football and stop living in the past! Yes, liverpool were the best team in Europe years back and Dalglish is a legend, I love the fella, but do you seriously think he is doing things right at the minute with the signings and the team line up!?

YNWA!


Everyone saying its to early to start slating kenny, what about everyone saying hodgeson out after a few weeks!?

If it wasn't kenny Dalglish manageing Liverpool now and it was someone else, all liverpool fans would be questioning his tactics an decisions. Just because it's Dalglish every has faith in him, which I do but come on people, your saying big names wont come to Liverpool until we get champions league, do you seriously thing Adam, downing, Henderson and Carroll are the type of players that will get us into the champions league?

And another thing, if you read my post properly I did not say sack kenny, all you think this just because I put the words Dalglish & sack in the same sentance! Commoli is the one that brought in Suarez not Dalglish, Dalglish is the one that's buying players like Carroll for stupid amounts of money!

And All use think that Carroll be become good in time! He doesn't even look like he wants to be here! He makes no effort what so ever!

So like I said In the last post, all you kids that are slating my comment and opinion, learn something about football and stop living in the past, start living in the present! I bet half of you that have commented wasn't even born in the 80's when Liverpool were the champs! I wasn't but I know are history, an thats what it is history! And we can't even mention the history of Liverpool anymore because the scum have won more than us now!

YNWA!


What an idiot!


Lets put it this way there are no bad teams in the premier league.swansea play some great stuff,but you have to question some of kennys signings esp mr carroll hopeful for wednesday against city.kenny must start bellamy and kelly
ring a few changes.

if liverpool dont freakin sign a good striker and a good midfielder i will be pissed... eds any suggestions on who you think has a chance of coming?


I doubt a midfielder will join in January. We may sign a striker and it's more likely than a midfielder.

LFCTHB007


Carlos texeira of sporting is the midfielder
& david texeira of groingen is the striker..fantastic business ..just what we need to tear rivals and ensure top 4 ..two teenage players with world class potential and going into the reserve team straight away..


How many midfielders do we need? Gerrard, Adam, Lucas, Henderson,Shelvey. And before you mention we need cover for Lucas what is the point for six months cover?. I believe we need a pacey winger with a decent delivery some one who is not afraid to run at a full back, rather than run 3/4 of the pitch spot the full back turn around and pass to some one else (players like Young, Maluda, Millner, A Johnson etc). How ever I do agree we need a striker not because I believe Andy Carroll isn't good enough its just Kuyt has been appalling these last few games (a good and loyal player as he HAS been) and Bellemy as good as he is cant play every week I think some one with a bit of exp would bring the team on and aid Andy along the way players like Bent, Forlan, Drogba, etc i dont mean buy the mentioned player just players with their mentality/ attributes


I'm sure Kenny and Damian will get on it right away as they won't want you to be pissed

do you expect any transfers to lfc this window and if so who???


Absolutely no one

If Honda goes to Lazio, would it be worth putting in a loan request or small bid for Klose. I realise he is 34 now but he is still scoring and he could be the goal box poacher required for this season. Not sure what kind of wage he is on but a short term deal may be worth it for the goals? Just thinking aloud, no abuse necessary.

Liverpool FC wants to signe Jesus Navas! Just got the news from a spanish media friend.

Oscar Romeo


If any Spanish player join us the sure Guillem Balague will tweet it.


Again ?....yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwnnnn


No you didn't!


O Christ!


Not this one again!!!!! The words home sick come to mind!


From wiki ---He suffers from chronic homesickness,[16] to the extent he walked out of training camps within Spain because they were too far away from Seville. He also suffers from anxiety attacks[17] and seizures.[18] Navas initially refused to travel with Sevilla during pre-season to the United States due to his acute homesickness, later deciding that he would travel in a bid to rid himself of this condition.[4] - what bs yout talk


You know the guy never leaves Spain, right? He has a severe case of Aerophobia which makes him miss a lot of the away games for his side too. I count this one as unbelievable. Don't watch this space.


Since those attacks....he has travelled to South Africa....so i don't think he still has those issues....this doesn't mean i believe he will sign, but i can imagine we would like him to play in a LFC top, exactly like QPR wish they could have Ronaldo playing...but doesn't mean it will happen


He is a homesick puppy


 

 

20 Jan 2012 15:53:58
What are all these rumours about granero? The one place we dont need another player (at the moment) its cm. Perhaps a loan. But we should be getting squad players, we need to improve the starting 11 not the bench.
Jayo


Agreed, a striker and right midfielder are what is needed. players that are good enough to start. we faff around buying young squad players .


 

 

20 Jan 2012 15:52:50
Afternoon Edds is there any truth in the Kaka rumours,i know its all twitter bulls**t.But do u guys think it might happen.

Any news on a striker or is Kenny telling the truth and it will be a quite window or are we to have a mad last day like last year??

Cheers ...


Only time will tell my friend.


No and no IMO. Kaka certainly wont be in a L'pool shirt anytime soon

Rooney to Madrid to link up with tricky. Mourinho is a big fan of Rooney and knows he has a buyer in Liverpool for Higuain. So the money for Rooney wont be a problem.
kidmillions


What a joke!

Cant think which is funnier Rooney to Madrid or the thought that Higuain would want to play for L'pool...probably not even getting Europa Lge action nevermind Champs Lge! Me thinks he is better than that

Lol though

Suarez to Real Madrid for Ozil and £18 million and that £18 million will go on a Spanish striker. Not this January but in the Summer.

Apparently Mourinho's happy with Benzema, Higuain and Callejon going into the second section of the season and doesn't want to make any changes, untill the Summer when he will change the attack as ''Madrid rely on Ronaldo too much'' ~ Jose Mourinho


This may be complete nonsense, but if it wasn't I'd be thrilled with this deal. Turning Suarez, who is a great player, into 2 very good players would be an excellent deal. I'd rather him not go, but if that's what Liverpool could get for him I don't think that's a bad deal at all.


Doesn't make sense Ozil is not worth £45 Mil
Suarez is currently worth more than Tricky.
kidmillions


And who told you that Ozil call you ? or Mourinho ? Suarez is not for sale can't you see we bring more south american so can build a team around Suarez.


Not happening, but I wouldn't day no.


Bull s**t source im happy @realmadrid


His agent is pep's brother and his dream is to play for barcelona..cant really see where he would fit in the madrid setup with 3 top notch strikers already..


I'd say you couldn't make it up but someone just did

Davey


Hmmm, DoRonRon is off back to the Manc s**te in the summer. Fergie saving up, by bringing back Scholes till then, plus Madrid still owe cash on the deal. Madrid will make an offer for Luis in the summer but it will be for mega millions....


You are a manc, in the wrong page try checking where you are from time to time, may be you can't read this is an LFC page

Liverpool are rumoured to be willing to offer Lennon £80,000 a week in order to prise him away from Tottenham.


This being the same lennon who was critical of liverpool as a city and people. dont talk rot


 

 

20 Jan 2012 15:21:39
Granero wants first team football, but he won't find it at Liverpool, we have Gerrard, Lucas and quite possibly Adam all in the que a head of him. Where would he get 1st team football at Liverpool f.c?


It's called rotation


Well we seem to be playing spearing as well as those lot so I'd imagine there would be a place for him


If he cant get into the squad ahead of adam n spearing, then he surely must be crap.
Indian Buzzer


I think he will play instead of Adam. well he should anyway Adam is s**t


Sorry but dont rate granero at all, should be using that money to strengthen elswhere


Lucas is injured and Adam is behind him


He'd be ahead of adam.
also id prefer moussa sissoko ahead of granero an adam.


Maybe Kenny is going to adopt Scotland's tactic from a few years back of playing 4-6-0, with spearing and adam in the middle, Gerro and Shelvey either side then Henderson and Downing as L/R mid?


 

 

20 Jan 2012 15:18:22
Hi eds, just wanted to ask of there are any players that we are looking at or are in the pipeline that you have not mentioned or have been mentioned by someone here? Just asking as I have a sneaky feeling that we may sign someone that will take us all by suprise.

Thanks

Liverpool FC have been linked with a £16m bid for Tottenham and England winger Aaron Lennon.



graeme


 

 

20 Jan 2012 14:55:42
Lennon to LFC?

Liverpool FC have been linked with a £16m bid for Tottenham and England winger Aaron Lennon.

To counter this, Spurs are set to offer Lennon an increase in wages with a new contract that would keep him at White Hart Lane until 2016.

It is believed Liverpool have had their eyes on Lennon for some time, under the advice of director of football Damien Comolli from his time at Spurs.

Wilfried Zaha to Anfield?

The Reds are thought to have been monitoring Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha for some time and could be ready to table a bid this month if the price is right.

Palace are keen to keep their prized asset for the rest of the season though and could stave off a deal until the summer.

1973


Neither are good enough. No end product. However, Zaha is 18/19 and has plenty of time to improve. Lennon is just gash.


Both have no final ball. Zaha does have the ability to improve, but if he's not delivering now, whats the point.


Why would Lennon play for Liverpool? He loves scoring against you.


We have more chance of Walcott then Lennon but neither can cross a ball for toffee !!
At least Zaha has time on his side

Why not Dougla costa,Mkhitaryan,Willian,Fernandinho.....These guys will be good transfer for me....One of them


FM12 ? am i right?


No....i like these players & watch their games.....i want douglas & mkhitaryan to Liverpool


 

 

20 Jan 2012 14:36:54
Interest on Esteban Granero is very real, But it all depends on Real Madrid willingness to sell in January or if Granero pushes them hard to force a move to get regular starts. Dalglish wants creativity on midfield to add some missing spark from that part this season.

Liverpool is Granero's first choice if he should move from Real Madrid because of Alonsos great influence on him and they're very good friends.

Are you guys mad fer it?


You miss that Pepe is with us . and he is a good buddy with all Spanish player.


I just wanted to add something, im not a person with any inside information about Liverpool at all but i do know this thing about the interest in Granero and that he would like a move to LFC because as lame as this probably sounds but i studied in Madrid a couple of years ago and went to class with a childhood friend of him which i still keep in contact with regularly because of our same football interest and i met Granero one time at a "party" and he actually speaks pretty good english this was during hes time with Getafe before he went back to Real Madrid.

And too get one thing clear. Im not saying Granero to Liverpool will happend Because i only know theres interest from both sides and Granero would really fancy that move.

Inter Milan to make
£11m move for M'Vila.
Manchester United and a whole
host of other Premier League clubs
risk losing out on Yann M'Vila this January as Inter Milan are prepared to make their move this month. The combative midfielder is wanted by United, Liverpool and Arsenal and the Premier League trio were expected to
be involved in a three-way fight for
M'Vila in the summer. talkSPORT revealed back in October
how Rennes were prepared to wait
until the summer until cashing in on
their star. The idea was that M'Vila's profile
would rocket following Euro 2012
and that would enable Rennes to
command a big fee for the Frenchman. But Inter Milan are not prepared to
wait that long and they are ready to
make an £11m move for M'Vila. A delegation from the Serie A club is
expected to land in France on Monday
to thrash out terms for the 21-year-
old, according to sources in Italy.
Marius


He has to be worth a lot more than 11m


Complete Tosh! If he could be brought for that price we would have him already.

John Flanagan will be joining Blackburn on loan for the rest of the season.

Liverpool to loan Granero from Real Madrid with a view to buy for £6mil at the end of the season.

6ml seems a bit low for Granero?

Kaka, Krasic, Kalou - Loan deals imminent {Ed002's Note - Twitter is busy this morning.}


Yeah very funny, with all the race issues recently we're really gonna sign KKK aren't we

Chris in Tamworth


I think this is wishful thinking. Some things are just too good to be true.
Jayo


Oh yeah I believe EVERYTHING I read on Twitter so you must be right!


All of them maybe moving on tranfers or loan deals but i dont think any of them will be moving to liverpool


That's nothing. On twitter you can buy Edison Cavani in the January sales for a knock down price of 16m. Not sure if that is pounds, euros, dollars or Italian lira though, sorry.


K k k ed u got caught out there mate blue noses havin a laugh {Ed002's Note - Maybe, but they all are showing up on Twitter everyone tells me.}


Maybe when these deals are done we will get Klose, Keane, Kightly and King. Then in the next transfer window we will move onto targets that start with the letter L. Lodeiro anyone?


 

 

20 Jan 2012 14:10:20
Quick question to the eds. Do you think Dirk will still be an LFC player at the end of Jan? His performances have been woeful this season. we really need to strengthen our attacking options and add some pace. {Ed002's Note - I expect he will be.}


 

 

20 Jan 2012 14:06:44
my mate said that KD is willing to offer Carroll+cash to lure Leighton Baines to Anfield


Your mate needs to wake up pal.leighton baines is not as good as fabio let alone Robinson or Enrique


IMO Enrique is better than Baines, plus it would hinder Robinsons development. Not a chance!


Lol, your mate needs his head seeing to!
Pieboy1812


Yeah cos we really need a left back...


Your mate is a fool


Why? we dont need him, do you always believe your mate, i wouldnt bother


Your mate is an idiot


Your mate is full of beans.


Your so called mate must be some sort of a joke.


Ive heard that too, Carroll + cash for Baines, i dont know if theres any milage in it tho


So Carroll cost £35 mill + how much? another say £10 mill in cash so that's what £45 mill for a full back? We've got Enrique who is an outstanding player plus Robinson and Aurelio as well as the fact that Danny Agger can and has played successfully at left back so I guess we need to pay a fortune for another full back?


You and your mate are a couple of pork chops!


Your mate ain't really your mate as he keeps telling you rubbish knowing you believe anything he says because your a muppet and ain't got no mates!


 

 

20 Jan 2012 13:57:24
Luis Suarez to Real Madrid for £30M + Esteban Granero.

Liverpool will buy Darren Bent for £20M.


You're a dope and neither will happen so remember you heard it first here!


Your mad - FACT.


 

 

20 Jan 2012 13:54:02
Face the fact people, no one is coming to anfield this window. Maybe on summer but not now. Its a big surprise that liverpool are even signing a reserve player in joao texeira.


 

 

20 Jan 2012 13:53:28
long before i said aaron lennon or walcott would sign and also nigel de jong, is it true liverpool are looking at them ? {Ed002's Note - We cannot reasonably comment on everything that shows up on Twitter.}


 

 

20 Jan 2012 13:32:30
Luc Castaignos i suspect will be liverpools only signing if they decide to go ahead with it


And maybe even that will be a loan...
so no choice but to get behind the current
team then.


He not British!


Neither is suarez


 

 

20 Jan 2012 13:23:38
Is there any truth in Liverpool being interested in Aaron Lennon? Would be a good addition to get some pace down the right hand side and hopefully deliver some decent balls.


2 things. 1.he will never come to Liverpool 2. he can't put a good cross in, maybe 1 out of 20 attempts


Why would Lennon suddenly start finding crosses for Liverpool when he can't for Spurs or England?


Your word "hopefully" says it all - no end product - let him take his mysterious talents elsewhere -


Why would he leave a CL team to come to us?


The we'd need a
Star,
Harrison
and a McCartney
and from the names on the shirts
we'll be rocking!


Deiver decent balls, are you kidding!! He runs like a headless chicken, granted he is fast and we need some added pace, but we also need a player with a footballing brain. His crossing ability is awful.


Well Aaron IS a load of balls so you're fairly close!


 

 

20 Jan 2012 13:19:51
liverpool to bid 2million for kalou from chelsea if they reject it liverpool will get kalou on a pre contract agreement and get him free in the summer. {Ed002's Note - Sadly it is not possible for a pre-contract agreement to be signed.}


Wow! the Kalou price is dropping like a stone in these rumours.Hang on a few more days and we'll get him for a can of lager and a quarter pounder!


 

 

20 Jan 2012 13:06:31
Friends in london saying KD has been looking SWP, get him cheap and he's english just what kenny likes


SWP is useless...he's done naff all at QPR...why would Dalglish want him at Anfield?


Get a grip mate hes just signed for them in the summer get bk on fifa


We've got enough sh*t players as it is. Give it a rest lad.


Haha this made me laugh!


My mate works in a butchers and he can get us a chicken with its head chopped off for 3 or 4 quid!


You really are a Manc aren't you!


Not even good enough for first division football, why would we want him?


Haha im in class reading this and i got introuble for laughing after i finished my test


What utter nonsence


Cheap and english yeah, just like carroll and downing....oh wait, just english !


Yeah he's signing with leon britton in th next few days, then we're going for luis figo to partner suarez

Liverpool are rumoured to be reading a monster bid for out of favour Real Madrid star Kaka to fill the void left by Luis's Suárez's suspension. {Ed002's Note - I assume another gem from Twitter.}


I have hear it that the time of Warrior deal we have agreed to bring at least a Star. may be Kaka is the one who knows. as Kaka admit in past he want to play alongside Gerrard .

Red-Rock


Well considering he wouldn't be wearing the warrior gear till next season that makes no sense. Also after tomorrows game luis only has the 2 cup games and the league game v wolves and he's back so the covering Suarez ban thing is no good


Haha the 'void'. Wow a few games left of his suspension but we are going to sign a player with astronomical wages to "fill in"? Not likely mate.

WalRuss


Get a midfielder to fill the void left by a striker. Wonderful logic. If Reina got banned, perhaps we could sign Messi to 'fill the void'


A "MONSTER" bid for a player who can't get into his own team and who is on vast wages? Oh go away and sober up mate!


 

 

20 Jan 2012 12:51:40
There seems to be quiet afew rumours about sunderland bidding for lucas barrios of dortmund....have you eds heard anything of this and could there be any chance of liverpool joining the race for his signature?
{Ed002's Note - I know nothing of these rumours, but Wolfsburg, Marseille, Malaga, Espanyol and Sevilla are known to be interested. He has struggled to get back in the starting line-up after injury and does not seem happy with sitting on the bench. Dortmund are already looking for another striker as they already know that there is interest in Lewandowski, and whilst they have their target set as Welliton I am not so sure they would let both players leave this January. However, if only one of the strikers was to go and it is in the hands of the club to decide - I expect it to be Barrios.}


I would sign Barrios in a heartbeat

Chris in Tamworth

Oh lord we can't buy a goal and your priority is for us to sign another centre back?

Is there any chance that liverpool will sign Juan Agudelo or Brek Shea in this window or the next, as I know that we have had at least one of them on trial in the recent past?
BajanRed {Ed002's Note - Agudelo spent a couple of weeks with th club but I am not sure what happened at the end of it. I don't see Brek Shea moving this month.}


Brek is not Ready for a move to England ;)


I think Agudelo might be

Hi Eds, have you heard anything that Liverpool are trying to get Krasic on loan? I'm not a big fan of him, and he's having a really bad season - But, he has ability and I think that it would be a good addition, since he's got lots of pace and deliveres great crosses. I think it's just a rumour, but who knows {Ed002's Note - Please read the other posts.}

eds do you think loic remy has any chance of comin to anfield? {Ed002's Note - Doubtful as there have been no approaches to Marseille regarding Loic Remy from Liverpool but a third party (an agent) suggested to Marseille that there is interest from Spurs and some sort of exchange for Pavlyuchenko was proposed which was immediately dismissed. Spurs however are looking at Remy with a chance of a cash bid being made. Remy would perhaps be interested in a move to a leading side in the summer but Marseille may price him out of the January market as they have no interest in selling at this time unless a very good offer is made. There has been a suggestion that Arsenal could also be interested in Remy.}


 

 

20 Jan 2012 12:27:02
the reason we havent signed any players is simple. the ones we want arent available this window and the ones that are arent good enough and after what happened in this window last year i cant see liverpool making the mistake again , i agree with this id rather have no players come in then paying big money for an above averge player.


Mr. Deeds


If you want to win titles you pay top dollar, i would break the bank for players who will get us back up the top. LFC are not willing to do it. false promises {Ed002's Note - I don't know that there have been any "false promises".}


Cahill, sow, cisse, Honda to name the first few off the top of my head, quality and/were available..spouting nonsense {Ed002's Note - Not exactly promised were they?}


Not one of those players are either "top dollar" or would have a better chance of getting us into the top four than what we have so i don't get your point?

Hi eds, do we have any interest in adebuyor for the summer if spurs dont take him?
Jayo {Ed002's Note - The summer is a long way off right now. However, I very much doubt if there is interest in him.}


 

 

20 Jan 2012 12:18:52
Eds, do you reckon there's any chance of Sebastian Giovinco from Parma? Reasonably unknown but shows a lot of skill, with 7 goals and 4 assists in his 15 games this season so far. He can play as a winger or a forward, and is only 24, so time to improve further. He would be quite cheap and could sort our right wing problem easily.

We should go for de jong and honda would be two great additions to the squad and not cost an arm and a leg.


De Jong would cost £13m as would Honda but if we ant Honda we have to be quick as Lazio are now talking to him.


Honda is signing for lazio!


Honda is like the repsol MICK DOOHAN use to ride. Absolute class no way will CSK Moscow be letting him go let alone to LAZIO. Should he be available for transfer LFC will defo bid for him as this will provide a foot into the Asian market and inject that little bit of extra revenue

In your honest opinion do you think we will sign a striker?

Thanks Mark {Ed002's Note - I think there is a good chance.}

Another one off the list..just passing info on:

The 19-year-old Lucas is being predicted to be a future star, and had the two big Premiership sides interested in him.

Italian Newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport says that Inters director of football Marco Branca has flown to Sao Paulo to finish the deal, and complete the paperwork on Lucas in a deal reputed to be worth £20m.

If the Newspaper reports are true it looks like the two big Northwest clubs were sleeping at the wheel, and missed their opportunity to sign the possible Pele of the future.

Lucas is only small at five foot seven, and a half inches, but the attacking midfielder was in FIFA's players list to watch for 2011, and is one of the hottest prospects in all of South America.


Gutted we don't take more risk in buying quality youngsters like lucas.


How many times have we heard the quote " the next Pele/Maradona" and it has not come to fruition? Even Messi is struggling to live up to that label on the international stage. £20m on an unproven 19yo is a big punt.


Surely this would make Coutinho even more surplus to requirements (not the most well-structured sentence there, but you get the drift). Don't know enough about Coutinho to say that he would be a good signing or not, but if we're interested, I would say this works in our benefit.

Hey eds any truth behind the milos krasic loan move {Ed002's Note - Juventus will be open to good offers for Krasic at some point but it is unclear if the likes of Manchester City, Malaga and Roma are still interested in a player who has not taken well to sitting on the sidelines. Krasic has declared his interest in Manchester United and it is not out of the question that they may be interested in him. There is at least one very influential person at Chelsea who very much likes the player and wishes to revisit earlier interest and discussions have taken place between the clubs with view to a loan move - but it came to nothing. Borussia Dortmund, Zenit St Petersburg and Anzhi Makhachkala are also interested and a bid will be certainly made by Bayern Munich. However, unless an offer is made that matches their valuation of the player he will not be moving in January.}

De jong to liverpool? the man city one? is it true ed? {Ed002's Note - Not that I am aware.}


It was reported in the liverpool echo yesterday although i havent seen it saying that de jong was a target (man city) {Ed002's Note - Are you sure it was not referring to Luuk De Jong?}

HI all- any chance of Ryad Boudebouz coming to Liverpool this transfer window? {Ed002's Note - I doubt he will be available in January - perhaps one for the summer.}


 

 

20 Jan 2012 09:18:48
Hi Eds,
I see that Joao Teixeira has signed, which is good but people are saying we are interested in David Texeira. Is this true or are people getting the two mixed up or did they see a video of him when they typed Teixiera into YouTube and it is wishful thinking?

Amazing site by the way, best place for transfer news! {Ed002's Note - I don't know anything of it.}


David Teixeira was the player that was insinuated by Bruce Grobbelaar (young, S. American, playing in Holland). Maybe Bruce made a mistake and mixed the two names up (or maybe he is the second player that Bruce hinted at).
MD


We are after David Teixeira, hope it does happen looks a good player :)

ji eds. i see liverpool are signing many youngsters. i mean it is important we have youngsters, but we should sign a couple of exp players too, right? 25-28 that range. who won't lose their cool under pressure.
i don't think defo would be a good signing at all! i'd prefer bent over defo...anyday!


"i'd prefer bent over defo" - surely the words "to be" should be inserted there ?!

Hi eds media reports say we will sign esteban granero in the next few days is there substance in these rumours?

Mighty reds {Ed002's Note - Surplus to requirements in Madrid, could interest any number of clubs and may be used as a makeweight in a transfer in the summer - until then he will stay as cover for injuries. Only solid interest at this time has been from Blackburn Rovers and Sevilla but unsubstantiated rumours have linked him to Liverpool and Espanyol as well.}


 

 

20 Jan 2012 09:09:37
Liverpool are very close to signing Marco Isla says manager of Udinese.


Mauricio Isla?


No he didn't


There's nothing on the Udinese webpage, no news nor a player like that anyway inside 1st team, youth or academy {Ed002's Note - If Isla does sign he will be the replacement for Johnson that has previously been discussed. I am not so sure that this would happen in the next couple of weeks.}


Definitely a good buy. quick on his feet, fast, passing is good, defends...most of all he is young. but i don't se it happening at all!


Mark my word if that happen soon Liverpool fan have to write a song for him. I live in Italy saw so many match of Udine . Isla is a attacking right winger who pair up with Sanchez very well. and I am sure he will be very good with Suarez. Hope the Deal is happen.

R-R


Mauricio Isla?

Isn't Marco Isla a small Carribean Island?


No man is an island!


No your thinking of mann island in Liverpool, easily done.


The Isle of Man is an island

Defoe is Liverpool's #1 striker target if Spurs can get a suitable replacement.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm as underwhelmed as anyone. Not good enough for Spurs, not good enough for Liverpool, simple.


Have to agree, simple , but rubbish.


Scores more goals than any of our current strikers, though


From whom do you bring this message, messenger? Can you give it some credibility?


Get. him. now


Dont be fooled defoe is a very good striker. The thing i dont understand is his age. As were ment to go for younger players


Yep totally awful isn't he? 20 goals a year. left foot finish. right foot finish. in top 3 natural finishers in premiership, while we have kuyt and carroll. yes, what use would we have with a natural finisher in our team?


Don't get Defoe, get Bent. When he played for Charlton scored more goals. when played for Spurs not used much scored more goals.When played for Sunderland scored more goals. I tell you Bent would get you 20 plus every season with the class you have and will bring in.It's a no brained. Charlton fan.


20 goals a year? He's done that twice. 2004 and 2009. Look at his other seasons, average at around 10.
77chris


The only way to kill the bloody Defoe rumours is to hammer a stake through the heart like Count Dracula.Not one hint of any evidence we want to sign him and the reported fee 'Appy 'Arry the tax man's friend is asking is ridiculous!


 

 

20 Jan 2012 08:28:21
Chelsea have had a bid for apparent Liverpool target Gaston Ramirez rejected. Not sure how much they offered.


He is Juvents bound come summer


 

 

20 Jan 2012 08:15:36
This not a rumour all i want to say is give KD a break we have things in the pipe line might have to wait till the last 48 hours before we see who we are getting but why make it known who we are after so HR and spurs can gazump us .Only the best comes to them that wait


48 hours or 5 months, as the case may be. People should give Kenny a break anyway, we generally play good football, defend well and we're not far off being a good team


 

 

20 Jan 2012 08:00:47
Kaka speaking with Liverpool representatives... lets hold our breath... This deal could be done very soon!

Jay


Now you are talking kaka {Ed029's Note - There is no chance of Kaka coming, nor do I expect him to leave Real Madrid in January}


Surely his wages are an issue for lfc?


Now that IS a load of kaka!


So, is messi and ronaldo


Would u want kaka? i bet u play fifa or pro evo and think he amazin coz of his high rating...

watch him for real.. average


Doesn't even get a game for Real!!


Hang on, Kaka is average? Jesus christ, I've read some rubbish on here but that takes the piss. He's not settled for Real, but the guy is one of the best footballers in the world.


If it was kaka 5 years ago, yes it would be great.But kaka now, is always broken and wages far to high.


Why do people bother to post this rubbish. Do they actually believe it??

Why would he leave a team that is pushing for the title and still playing in the CL to a team that is struggling to make the top 4!!

Put down the XBox controller and join the real world you idiot.

Swanny


Great signing ......

Oh s**t who's paying his £200,000 wages ... U Muppet get a life.

BigD


8 million in wages and 20m fee you must be mental


Elton John is also rumoured to be playing a concert at Boundary Park Oldham in the summer.......more chance of that happening pal. lol


Kaka WAS one of the world's best players but that was a good while ago.This deal won't happen and I'm happy about that!


I wasn't aware he even played competitive football anymore. This would be another epic blunder.


I dont think kaka would be able to handle this league , he wont have the time on the ball he needs


 

 

20 Jan 2012 07:23:46
I think Joao Carlos Teixiera was a good deal. The player which have some similar tactics with David Silva, and can bring us to victory in future. Hope that dalgish will play him in 1st team. YNWA

20 Jan 2012 04:41:57
Well there's another player (Honda) that Liverpool have shown a lot of interest in but havnt made a bid. Dalglish things the team is doing on and the players we have already are good enough to get us 4th place, I have a lot of faith in carroll but he seems to be getting worse, and as for downing and Adam, there shocking! The must be doing something right on the training ground because Dalglish seems to have faith in them all but the not proving it where it matters, which is the full 90 mins there in the pitch on match day! Bellamy is awsum and Henderson is coming into his game nicely. But the team we have is not good enough to get 4th place, we will be battling to get 6th. We need players like Honda, Exspecialy for the price he is which I think is £11.7m which is half the price downing cost and Honda is easerly twice the player he is. Do you think that Liverpool might match te bid that has bin put in for Honda or do you think they will let it be?

Thanks JD


If honda can join us there would be a best best news in liverpool in this transfer window. Dalgish pls take a world class player to liverpool.


He'll leave it coz he's not s**t or English and no upwards of 25million


Ooo that is bitter. Sadly the poor form of Carroll,Downing and Adams in particular is over shadowing the good work Kenny has done with the team.
Have to agree present squad is not good enough for 4th place but I understand we have offers in for a 2 or 3 players and hopefully at least one will come good and prove to be the much needed goal scorer.
CR


Get off downings back. the lads doing well and there's a lot more to come. adam needs to stop trying so hard. do you even understand this game?


I love the last comment! who said that knows their stuff! We have hit the post a ridiculous amount of time this season and almost every game have played really well. Honestly the ball isnt dropping for us, if half those post hits had gone in we would be at least 4th, and when it does start dropping for us we have big goal numbers coming.


I wonder do people even remember the team we had last season?

x


Agree with the lad 100%! to me its the most obvious player to sign, he's asian (FSG wants too reach out into the asian market, and what better way than signing there star player), he's young, can score goals, he's an excellent right winger(we need a flippen right winger) and can slot in as a striker or an attacking midfielder......why the hell not??


You make your own luck in this game.

The reason Downing was brought in,was that he would hit the ground running.Which has not happend as yet.Playing him on the right aint working at all.All the problems over previous with us having 2 right foot'ed players who are not wingers playing there,was all to obvious to other teams.We are to narrow through the middle.Look at Spurs with 2 wingers and balance to their side.If we brought in someone with pace and the ability to cross on the right hand side we would see a better Andy Carroll.(Hopefully)


'henderson coming into his game nicely'..get a grip!


 

 

20 Jan 2012 01:11:55
Already Confirm tht Chelsea bid for Eden Hazard 25m, but Lille want 30m. The Deal will be done on this week.

Liverpool cant even sign a star player with cheap. But always sign the players with a expensive prices which also not a world class player( except Suarez ). Disappointment.


Nothing is concrete when it comes to Eden Hazard going to Chelsea, i think he'll keep his options open and move in the summer

Rocky


Sorry but Saurez is not world class. {Ed016's Note - sorry but you are not qualified to make that call. Considering he was top scorer in an international competition of late}


I would be very surprised to see Hazard go anywhere this window, much less for only 25m.


Think about it. why should eden hazard pick chelsea rather than Liverpool?? 5 points in difference everything cant happen.


Hazard is another mercenary...we don't need players that only play for money. And stop acting like this is football manager!


World class = played at international level. I'd go even further though, Suarez is one of the best forwards in the world at the moment.


Suarez isnt world class player? Other wise, his not a top scorer in EPL, but his creativity and performance are better than others players in EPL.

Yup, u correct. Hazard just only 30m. More cheap than Carroll. So just do it for fans KK. We all hope to see hazard in liverpool shirt. We can beat Chelsea. YNWA

LFC's Fan


Suarez not world class!!,are you mad ?

he could get in any team in the world,there isn't another forward in the world with his fight and desire to do well for the team!!


Until we get Champions League, we will struggle to sign top top players. Thats why we have to buy you players trying to prove themselves, or players who also play for clubs not in the Champions League. Until we get back into the top 4, we will not be able to even consider buying the best players in the world.
Patience is a virtue.


I cant see how KK can splash out 35 million for Carol and 20 Million for Henderson but cant spend that kind of money on two players that are of real quality. £38 million for aguero or £35 million for carol. Beggers belief.... {Ed002's Note - Aguero was never going to move to Liverpool. His wage demands were well beyond the budget of pretty much all clubs.}


Hazard ain't close to being world class. The hype around him is, though.

BooDaBooze


If you say Suarez is not the best then wait until summer. I am sure so many club will have £50m in hand and wait in our door.

R-R


All Kenny has done is waste money and this window will be no different. Talentless players will arrive for a big price and we will finish 8th because stoke and newcastle have better players.Suarez has runied our reputation and Kenny helped him with that so if a club comes with 50 million i would say bye bye and hopefully the manager goes asap so we can finally win games at home.


I don't agree with Ed's arguement their, by that logic we should consider Milan Baros world class? A top scorer for Euro 2004, a competition on par with Copa America really.

I love Suarez, but I don't think right now I'd consider him world class, especially as some on here have considered him a world class striker/forward right now, does his finishing at Liverpool merit that? No chance, he's been wasteful at best. For Ajax in his second to last season he was dynamite. His skill on the ball is magic, but that doesn't make him world class alone.

Take into account his track record and the bad press he's given this club, and Ajax before, I wouldn't be surprised if we shipped him off if we got a decent return (to pull a random figure out my bum - £35/£40m), if we were to get that in the next year I wouldn't begrude the club selling.

Don't get me wrong though I really want him to stay at Liverpool, be prolific like he was at Ajax and in turn, watch Liverpool turn him from a really really talented player, into a world class superstar like I really hope he will be.

DAn


Suarez is not world class eh? So, by world class you mean only the 5 best footballers in the world and not the 6th? Get your facts right, he's officially the 2nd best player in the premiership.


What makes him offically the 2nd best player in the premiership? That is the stupidest point on here.

His match winning goals? Hmm, well given that RVP, Ba, Rooney and even the Yak have all scored over 3 times the amount of goals Saurez has in the league this season so far, and he's not even in the top 20.


It's not that then that makes him 2nd best.

Maybe it's his assists that make him 2nd best, Silva's rocking 11 in the league so far, who's joint 2nd with 7- Nasri, Valencia, Nani , Bale, Mata... Still no Saurez, oh wait, he has a whopping total of 1.

Must be his direct contribution within games that has lead to more league points? How many of the infamous Anfield draws of our EPL 2011/12 season has savour Saurez featured in where all we've needed is clinical finishing....5? Man City, Swansea, Norwich, Man U, Sunderland, total goals -1.

To be fair he did score the winner against QPR, his only goal in his last 11 games, and unlike Carroll he's been on the pitch for at least 75minutes of all 11.

If he's 2nd best player in the league I hope Gerrard is number 1, otherwise you're suggesting that Captain Fantastic is now our 2nd most important player, and if you are, you're a joke of an LFC fan, he tore apart Man U a year ago and beat Stoke single handed, that's about the best of is LFC career so far..

Saurez is not the star of Liverpool so far this season, our defence has been (excluding some unusual Pepe errors.)

I would love to know where you get your stats from, when you purchase a striker for 20m+, you want a lot more than pretty footwork and the odd goal from an inprobable angle. You want a match winner who drives your team forward.

Right now his biggest contribution this season has been the Stoke Carling cup game. He single handedly won us the game and got us through, I really hope he comes good second half of the season.

DAn


What is the definition of World Class?

Would he get in starting 11 of any team in the world? Would he make a World XI? I'd say clearly no


DAn that is probably one of the most negative posts I've ever read about one of our most exciting players! Clearly you have read a few stats (well done) but anyone who knows anything about football knows that players that bring creativity energy and enthusiasm not only lift a crowd but also a team to get a result. I agree Suarez stats don't look great but just look at those around him and tell me he's not a stand out player for us right now? Considering you seem to know world class players name me 5 strikers that you would rather have in our team right now that are available for £26m or less??

Just so ED's stop getting hassled regarding Llorente,Muniain and Martinez.

Bilbao do not want any of them to go, however the most likely to go is Llorente. This does not mean he will leave in Janurary let alone to Liverpool. He has been looked at for a long time. Apparently this was said by Llorente "Liverpool came to Bilbao and spoke with the club, but it was obvious they weren't going to sell me," i would take this with, as you would say "a pinch of salt"? If he would move it would cost around 25m Euros. Whilst Llorente also has the European Cup selection in the back of his mind, he would like to prove himself in a stronger league.

Javi Martinez is still young and is one of the most wanted young midfielders in the world. He is very loyal and when the time is right he will move on when this is i do not know. BUT he will NOT leave now and i would personally take LFC out of the equation.

Iker Muniain another very young very talented and wanted by so many. Muniain is very happy at the club and it is thought (also very likely) that he will stay at Bilbao untill he is around 20 and then move to Barcelona, some say they have had private talks for this to happen. Along with the likes of Cuenca, sergio roberto,tello,delfuelo,fontas,thiago,Muniain and Neymar(dont start) are the future of Barcelona.

(Valencia)Two more-Banega. he has signed a contract extension with Valencia till 2015, this is i believe to set new clauses in his contract that allows Valencia to get as much profit out of a deal for Banega when sold in the future. Also never the less Banega is happy at the club.

Soldado. He will not be leaving in January unless a large bid is made, but Valencia are still likely to turn the offer down unless a quick replacement is found. BUT i would not say he wont move in the summer or to Liverpool because no one knows Kenny's plans.

Excuse any spelling mistakes english is not my first language.

Don't worry it's not the first language of most scousers too lol up the reds


Your spelling is better than most of the English lads on here!


To Marca Red.. not commenting on your views but on your 'excuse spelling mistakes'
and 'English not my first language' . Your spelling and grammar on here was very nearly perfect and far better than most of us manage

Was'nt a certain Ian Rush a risk when we bought him from Chester City
