The stories about Glen Johnson are true, one of the red-tops has pictures, videos and all the sordid details. He managed to get a super injunction, but it won't last - and Liverpool want rid now whilst they can get a decent fee for him, otherwise no-one will touch him with a barge pole.
Harry Redknapp wanted him - he knew half of the story, but found out about the injunction and now won't go near him.

I take my hat off to you sir. The ONLY website with enough balls to post what everyone knows! Brilliant lad, send em my way. Shame all the pop heads are too gone to read it! Never mind. Ive read your clever comments and laughed! No wonder Jose wanted rid. RED77 {ed's note - makes you wonder how Pompey must have felt when we agreed a huge fee for him. They must have died laughing!}

There are two managers in NESV's thoughts when it comes to replacing Hodgson. . Didier Deschamps and Leonardo - both young managers with wide ranging contacts in the game.

Rumours linking us to get Babel in the New Year. At first this seemed a good suggestion to me. .but then I realised he is not much different from someone we already have on the books by the name of Ryan Babel. Eljero is just another right footed player trying to play on the left wing. Look him up on Youtube. I did not see him put in a cross from his left foot a single time. We are crying out for some genuine width to our play. A left winger who makes runs to the line and then puts in a high quality cross. Of the players we have been linked with I think Juan Mata, Adam Johnson, and Antoine Griezmann could do that job. Then on the right I would take one of Hazard, Sanchez, or Albrighton. Two top class wingers would be very pricy but that is what our team need more than anything at the present time. That would be our cutting edge. Ed which two winger would you take, right and left? And do you agree with that assessment of Elia?
Anfield Rapstar {ed's note - I do agree with your assessment of most wingers these days, there is an obsession with putting them on their wrong foot so they have to cut inside. I don't understand it, for most teams it is a disadvantage, unless your forwards and full backs are going to look to use the space left it just crowds the midfield. I think we need a left and right winger, but left more importantly, we can always push Johnson forward or give Amoo a shot. The left sided youngsters are a fair bit younger than Amoo and they have to play in front of Konchesky, so they need to be at their best.}

This site is spot on! If you live in Liverpool this story is common knowledge. But if you don't then people have to rely on brave pioneers. This has to be put out there. Johnson is one of the super injunction crew and lets just say his story makes John Terry look like a cub scout! Well done ed, this guy makes a mint out of LFC and playing football seems like the least of his worries! RED77 {ed's note - I am just glad you said it, I have tried to steer clear of saying it myself, just dropped hints. I can be sued, but I don't think you can, well I hope so anyway!!!}

Rumour has it that rafa benitez, now a free agent, would love to engineer a move back to liverpool fc and finish the job he started at the club that he loves, under new owners nesv/ fenway. and even offer to repay his severance back into club funds.
how many fans would truly welcome this?

Ed lets see if you have big enough lawyers for this or otherwise send them round my gaff! Johnson is not liked in the squad because of his colourful private life. He is well known to be a blatant homosexual who causes his pretend female partner endless sadness . There has been no end of embarrassing situations in town during his time here and he never stops flaunting it. If anyone doubts this look up the story everyone assumed was Ashley Cole at Chavskli which was hugely covered by the red tops and included mobile phones in very uncomfortable places. Expect Glen to scuttle off abroad when the super injunction gets overturned in january. Come on Ed its time it got out! RED77 {ed's note - I would just like to point out that I have no lawyer!}

A few of our current players are being moved out as part of deals to bring in other players. Ryan Babel is to return to Ajax as part of the deal to take Luis Suarez to Liverpool. Liverpool will part with £13.5m and Babel to sign the Uruguyan. Christian Poulsen is wanted by West Ham, and Hodgson wants Carlton Cole - £5m and Poulsen will get Roy Cole. Milan Jovanovic is wanted across Europe - especially in Belgium and Holland.

Roy has a host of targets in mind from Holland in mind, Balázs Dzsudzsák and Ola Toivonen from PSV, Bryan Ruiz for Twente, Jan Vertoghen, Suarez, Emanuelson and Anita from Ajax. If we could sign Dzsudzsák it would be a great signing - reminds of Robben the way he dribbles with the ball, but he doesn't break down at the slightest touch!

For me, i would love to see Paul Ince in charge at Liverpool. He would be a young strong manager and would definately command the respect of all the players. .unlike our door-mat Roy. I know he never suceeded at Blackburn but who would? Its an immpossible mission at Blackburn at the budjet they want to operate at. Most Championship sides spend more than Blackburn. Does anyone agree that Paul Ince and possibley Aldridge as assistant would work at LFC?

So would you take adebayor? I wouldn't mind a loan deal.he could prove a good partner for Torres and the physical presence needed. Yes a bad attitude but maybe less risky than spending £Xm on an overseas striker when there is less choice in the winter transfer window

I'm expecting to see Honda join for around 10m January, along with a centreback and a striker. I personally would love to see Suarez play for us. Doubt that we will sign a left back as we all know how much Roy loves Konchesky. .
If, Roy gets fired I'd love to see Andre Villas Boas take over, young, with a Mourinho like mind.

Outs:

Babel
Poulsen
Jovanovic

Hang on here, rumours state we are back in for elia the dutch left winger. very pleased to see these rumours return but even more pleased (and astonished) to see the money we are talking. Appartently comoli rates him at 3M (?) and hamburg are demanding 5m! If we could sign him for 5M this wud easily be bargain of the century!
please sign him up.

{Editor's Note: If he moves it will be for at least double, perhaps treble what you are suggesting.}

Well im stating wat the rumour says: "Comolli rates Elia at £3 million but Hamburg are likely to demand £5 million for his services" if comolli rates him at 3m and hamburg are likley to demand 5m, then why wud he be going for 3 times that if they are likley to DEMAND 5m?

{Editor's NOte: Putting the "rumour" aside, Hamburg will want a lot more than £5M - perhaps £10 or more.}

Whats the deal with glen johnson then ed? is he just not liked or what? because in my opinion, football is a job and you can't like everyone you work with, but you keep things professional and get on with things in the correct manner. if used in the right way he could be a great attacking player for us. but im reckoning much like at chelsea, there is is bit too much player power at our club from a certain pair of scousers. {ed's note - he is causing his own problems, I do agree that too much power does rest in the player's hands though.}

"I Think Elia cost Hamburg atleast 8 million a couple of years ago and has improved since then so i think a more realistic starting price for him would be atleast 15 million. I don't think that many German clubs need the money either so they can afford to hold out for the best prices on any of their players."

The Bundesliga is the healthiest league financially, (and by a wide margin too, I believe), so you are correct.

Hi ED been watching a lot of la liga recently and in pirticular villareal i know weve been linke with santi cazorla, fine player reminds me of iniesta but obviously not as good! just wondered what your thoughts were on nilmar i believe he is one of world footballs brightest talents and in great form at the moment have we scouted him or been linked with him recently. He fits the bill young and talented.

Sorry, i just posted about Insua and Santon, When i mentioned this i did not mean Kelly would be disgarded, but was mentioning that with those players i mentioned added we would have a strong young defense which would include Kelly, Ayala, Santon, Insua, Wilson

I agree entirely. I mentioned Kelly, because he does seem to be disregarded in many "favourite team" choices.
I also honestly believe that with the right blend of youth and experience, we could put out a really good side with the players we've got now.

What's wrong with Martin Kelly then. An excellent right back who will cost nothing.Kellys a centre back being played out of position( playing very well I ight add) so he'll move back there. Santon is already class and only 19, can play left or right back even in midfield a bit like Philip Lahm. Still I think its wishfull thinking and lazy journalism as per nearly every player we are linked with.

Barcelona will not launch a bid for Torres, they cannot afford Fabregas, and therefore cannot afford Torres, theyd get Aguero though. .

{Editor's Note: Aguero would likely cost as much as Torres - possibly more. They have also just had what one may consider to be a very significant windfall in terms of shirt sponsorship.}

Liverpool are hoping to sign Inter Milan youngster Davide Santon as Roy Hodgson looks to bring in more youthful talent to help build for the future.

The talented teenage Italian international has been told he can leave the San Siro and a host of clubs are looking to secure his signature and given the much publicised reports of a falling out between Hodgson and England international Glen Johnson the reports of interest in another right back are no surprise.

Santon has spent the past two seasons trying valiantly to fight for his place with the Serie A giants but is now looking for a new challenge and has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League with the likes of Tottenham and Chelsea reportedly interested in the attack minded wide man who can also operate in an advanced right wing role.

Ironically Liverpool's hopes of signing the £8m rated Inter Milan starlet may be helped if Rafa Benitez, as widely reported, is sacked as the former Anfield boss may not be so keen to sell to a club who gave him the axe.

Please let this be true! Santon is brilliant! Far better defender than Johnson and only 19/ 20

I'm trying to think if many attacking players have made the move from the dutch league straight to the prem and scored at a similar rate? Certainly van Nistelrooy and van Persie are two, but I'd say the eridivisie was much stronger in the early 00's than now. Anyone I'm missing?

Bear in mind Editor that about £40m a year serviced the acquisition debt.

{Editor's Note: That is correct - that hits a couple of recent years here. But, the point is, these are factual profit and loss figures. No one knows what one off charges have been accrued for this season with the sale of the club, legal fees, removing coaching staff, adding "free transfer etc..}

SWP is a very good player and would be a superb addition to our squad.

Comedy post of the year. . brilliant! Is that you Ian, you bigging up your son?
RED77 {ed's note - I have noticed Ian does it all the time on the radio and TV, certainly wouldn't surprise me if he spent all day surfing the web doing the same about him and Bradley. Certainly would explain all the talk about how great the pair of them are. . }
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I just don't get the whole Shaun Wiright Phillips thing. He is no more than a average Premier League player. It is only because he played for Chelsea (or sat on their bench) that he has played so many times for England.

Bryan Ruiz has 7 goals in 16 league games so far this season, assuming Twente's website is up to date.

SWP will never in a million years wear a LFC shirt. . .if i'm proved wrong I will eat my Christmas tree! Someone sensibly mentioned the other day that our transfer policy will now be dealt with very off radar, similar to the Meireles signing where we only found out after the event. If memory serves me correctly precisely no one predicted it before hand on here and i expect the same come January. I for one want Connor Wickham as I think this kid has the potential to be better than Carroll and is not such a twonk either. Fingers crossed. RED77

Hey Ed, I saw yesterday that you replied to a poster that you thought Johnson was very close to leaving us. Now I know you're not one to base your opinion on things you see in the paper, so is this something you have heard from the grapevine? If so, is it a case of Johnson wanting to leave, us wanting to sell him. .or a combination of both? {ed's note - it is more about how he is viewed by his team mates.}

Sorry but why are people repeat other people's rumours. Others ask the Ed questions repeatedly, even though he has replied to the same question in earlier posts. Stop being lazy and read earlier posts. And people who copy and paste the paper, then they proceed to claim it is their rumour?

Anyway only expect a maximum of 3 signings.

Also don't believe journalist rubbish, the aim of papers is to sell as many as possible. This is achieved by lies and controversy.

On another note, Hodgson should know if he buys more mediocre (Poulson, Konchesky) Liverpool fans will further distance themselves from his leadership.

1. Ashley Young 12 mill
2. Kesuike Honda 10 mill
3. Karim Benzema Loan then permanent if success or alternatively Luis Suarez 15 mill in summer
4. Connor Wickham 10 mill (Keane will be sacked soon)
5. The russian right back 8 mill

Thats all folks

PS I remember Otsembor, didn't he get shot in the apse (literally).

mate id love for all these transfers to happen. i agree with every single person u said but i honestly and i could be wrong and i hope im wrong i just don't think we could pay for these transfer. we could get a couple and i hope we do like honda and wickham but all of them, i dno if we have that kind of money. like benzemas wages would be alot and villa see young as their top asset and would sell for way more than 12 million.

I've just seen a match in Brazil and one player really stood out his name was neymar he is 17-18 years so fits in to the youth thing and we can get him for about 7 mill because he is so young he is highly rated and has played over 100 games already for santos and twice for brazil. He is quick and has skills and scores goals on any area of the pitch and a good partner for torres. Worth a look I reckon :)

What do you think ed? {ed's note - I know a lot of people rate him highly and think he is the next superstar, I am not sure myself, not at the price quoted to Chelsea in the summer anyway.}
