Roy Hodgson has a £40million MAXIMUM to spend in January. All transfer targets will be agreed between Hodgson and Comolli who will suggest players for Hodgson to look at and he will decide. There is 3-5 positions that are being looked at: DL, DM, AMR/ AML, ST.

There is about 10 names to each position so I am not going to name 50 players because you have probobly already heard a lot. Hodgson will be lying in the press when he says he isn't going for certain targets, because people will try to get as much as they can from Liverpool now we have new owners but they will only pay what they think is a fair price. The top targets I believe are:

DC
Ryan Shawcross (£4 - £6m)
Gary Cahill (£10m - £12m)
Mamadou Sakho (£8m - £12m)

DL
Reto Ziegler (£4m - £5m)
Fabio Ceontrao (£6m - £10m)

DM
Yann M'Vila (£8m - £12m)
Lassan Diarra (£8m - £10m)
Blaise Maituidi (£7m - £10m)

AMRL
Ashley Young (£15m - £17m)
Dimitri Payet (£7m - £10m)
Gervinho (£7m - £9m)

ST
Fernando Llorente (£10m - £15m)
Connor Wickham (£8m - £12m)
Luis Suarez (£8m - £11m)
Alexandr Kerzakhov (£5m - £7m)

It was posted on Empire of the Kop a while ago as well.} i didn't know lol, , , why they publishing there finances online, i thought they wanted everything in house not public {ed's note - all companies have to give accounts, how else do the HMRC know how much tax to charge?}

It was also published on Roma's website at the time of the transfer.

Ed- who would be your first choice if Roy was to go?

{ed's note - I am not sure mate, probably between Di Matteo, O'Driscoll and Laudrup, but I would want to interview them to choose one.}

Do you reckon O'driscoll would be able to hack it at the highest level? What about Owen Coyle?

{Editor's Note: Coyle may be an option - my preference would be for Claude Puel.}

"My sauces suggest Ken Arguero will sing for us on Christmas Eve at the LFC Christmas Carol service"

I've heard we're in for the Bishop of Durham too as RW. His crosses are sublime!"

Quality, but unfortunately there is no Bishop of Durham currently. The only person coming to Merseyside from the North East will be Mike Williamson in the summer after Pardew has flirted with relegation and finished 16th with a decent squad.

Hi ed, whats the crack with Aquallani everyones saying that juve' have got first refusal on him, does that mean we have to sell if they want him? I personally would like to see him back at anfield and given a fair crack, people say he was'nt strong enough for epl but players like Fabregas, Modric ect are hardly tanks, surely it comes down to ability? Also do you think N'Zogbia would be a good addition? Think he's got a lot of skill but seems to be very inconsistant.
Cheers Banjo boy {ed's note - I believe that the contract gives Juve the right to take him if they want, it was a loan with a view to a transfer deal. Not a fan of N'Zogbia personally, far too big for his boots that lad.}

Another reason why this won't happen is Juve have first refusal on Aquilani and the form he has been showing makes him a cert to be a Juve player. But only in the summer. And it will only cost them £12m.

MUSHROOM


"The Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani has completed his season-long loan move to Juventus – with the deal including an option to make the transfer permanent for £13.1m at the end of this season.

A Juventus statement read: "Juventus Football Club announces that an agreement with Liverpool FC for the free temporary acquisition of the registration rights of the player Alberto Aquilani has been reached.

"The agreement also includes the option right, to be exercised at the end of 2010-11 season, for the definitive acquisition by Juventus of the football player at the price of £13.1m, to be paid in three years."

We paid €20mill for Aquilani which was spread over 5 years at a cost of €4mill per year. Juve have paid the 2nd of these payments for his season long loan and have the option to buy him in the summer and pay the remaining €12 million. If they don't take up this option we will owe Roma €12 million but if he continues to perform well we may be able to sell him for more than this.

Iverpool Rumours
O.K. guys, I have a lot of friends across Europe, it was one of there birthdays last night and we all got chatting on FB. . . . .a lot of interesting stuff was said about LFC. There are several rumours doing the rounds, this is not one entire rumour but several being put together, some maybe accurate while others obviously are off the mark. . .

First off the whole transfer window will depend on players leaving especially Babel, Agger and Aqualani these three are key!

My Dutch friend tells me that Suares and Babel will be a straight swap, apparently Suares is really peed off with his treatment of the biting incident (not being defended by the club) and also Jol as has been reported, leaving. Babel on the other hand still demands a lot of respect back home and wants to re ignite his career and get back in the national team.

The next part in this web is Ronaldinho, my friends in Italy are adamant he is coming to LFC, AC Milan will pay a percentage of his wages (it is cheaper to pay a percentage than all plus they are not going to make any more money on shirt sales this window, they made that last summer, financially it makes sense) so all this scare mun-goring about him costing LFC 3.5 is a load of bull, it will be nearer half that! But there is another motive for AC Milan that I will come on to later.

The third is Honda, this will be paid for by the sale of Agger, my Iti friends think he is off to Italy my Dutch friends think it's Germany, personally I think it's Germany for around 12m, which is roughly the price of Honda.

Next will be the big clear out El zahr, Aurilio, Jovanovic, Intandje and Degen etc they seemed to know several locations for these players which I am not going to say here because this is already a long post! But just over 10m will be raised which will go towards Rami, my French mate seems to think that this is a given?

All these deals haven't really cost LFC anything so far, Aqualani WILL BE SOLD in Jan but not to Juve but to AC Milan! Hence the Ronaldinho sweetner, they think in the region of 15m, Paulson will also be sold to another Prem club, my source seems to think it's either Everton or Blackburn, the sum being tauted is 4m. This money will go towards the purchase of Hazzard for 22m! Again all this merry go round has not cost LFC anything yet, except insurance signing on fees etc.

Last but not least the last signing and the only signing that will cost us is Llorente, all three of my Spanish friends think this is happening. Sorry about the long post but as Camoli said this aint the usual Jan transfer window


Weren't there any girls at that party? Frankly, it seems to me you and your 'friends' wasted your time discussing these so-called rumours.

Personally, I hope we don't make a move for that Benfica left-back Contraeo (sp) that people keep talking about. I've watched him in the Champions League this season and I've seen him make mistakes and I've seen a display of some sub-standard defending.

The only time he's ever mentioned or ever receives any credibility is when he impresses offensivly. I've seen little or no recognition for his defensive ability which is a concern.

Lets hope we don't spend £20m+ on him and be in the same situation as Glen Johnson (poor defensivly, good offensivly).

If we sign him with the intention of playing him on the left-wing, then brilliant. I'd be really pleased. But not left-back. Lets just find a good, solid left-back who is good at the back for a nice fee.

havent thought bout suarez hmm a young quality striker my ass he hasnt thought bout him lol all managers know that we know who they r most likely to be looking at, and if scouts have been to ajax games and theyve definitly seen suarez play well there not gunna just ignore the fact of how good that player is

Don't believe alot of the rumours doing the rounds regarding January. I would expect a maximum of 3 players coming in, as a guess I would say Rami, Nzogbia and Honda are relatively realistic. Players that may be sold are probably Babel, Poulsen, Jovanovic and maybe Agger depending how Carraghers injury looks.
These are just my opinion and would be a realistic and very effective January.
I would expect a few big signings in the summer depending how we finish in the league!
What do you think Ed? Realistic or not?

{Editor's Note: I am not so sure the club will be selling in January. I expect there will be a couple of buys in January and we will have to see in the summer.}

Meanwhile, journalists quizzed Hodgson on the latest transfer speculation in the press - and the boss dismissed suggestions Glen Johnson could move to pastures new in the January window.

He said: "As far as I'm concerned, Glen Johnson will be a Liverpool player certainly for as long as his contract and possibly beyond that. We're very happy with him. He's a top-class player, an England international - why should we want to lose him?"

Hodgson was also asked if there was any truth in the rumours linking Liverpool with Ronaldinho, Ashley Young and Luis Suarez.

The manager replied: "I've got to say, Ronaldinho and Suarez are players we've never even thought about.

"I wouldn't have thought there is a manager in the Barclays Premier League who hasn't given Ashley Young a thought at some stage or another.

"But giving a player a thought and thinking he's a good player, and signing him are two vastly different things.

"I could give you quite a long list of players playing in the Barclays Premier League who I admire and think are very, very good.

"But I'm afraid there is no truth in the rumour if you're asking me if any discussions are taking place between Aston Villa and Liverpool."

{Editor's Note: I don't know if Lucas has really been doing any pushing - but Ronaldinho would be an expensive luxury item - I don't suppose it would go down well with the other players.}

Ronaldinhos contract is over either in january or in the summer so we could get him for free

{Editor's Note: No - unless you mean "free" to be several million up front and then outrageous wages - and very high insurance costs to the club.}

Liverpool are set to raid struggling Villa with a 15m deal in place for Ashley Young; at first I thought he was over rated but he is ok, very forward thinking and great at counter attacking, and has at least 5 good years, 25.

Also we could get 3m rated Right back Rod Fanni which will cause unsettled Glen to choose between Spurs, Bayern and Juve for about 20m. Nice bit of business IMO.

Also, Honda is 99.9% moving from CSKA; Sadly Liverpool, Real Madrid and Arsenal are interested. But is a two horse race as Wenger says he isn't adding to squad in January. Plus RM are interested in all players, so no biggy.

So in truth IF thay do buy it will be £8m + POULSEN not bad if your a JUVE FAN!

If the above post is suggesting that we gave Juve 4 mill and Aquilani for Poulsen then you are wrong mate.

We paid 4.3 mill for Poulsen and received 2 mill from Juve for loaning Aquilani. Then Juve have the option to buy Aquilani for a futher 12.7 mill at the end of the season. So we will recieve 14-15 mill for Aquilani in total.

I'm not sure about Ramos mate. He's good at going forward, but defensivly he is poor any time I see him. Lucky he has a great team around him.

Don't watch much of Lahm though. But I certainly wouldn't want us to sell Johnson and sign someone who's also poor at the back.

Valid point MUSHROOM but here is another take on it, that 12m thing was printed in the press last summer when Aqualani wasn't exactly getting much lovin over here in England, I just can't see any football club agreeing a fee a year in advance can you? What if he went on to be world player of the year, an 80m player would any football club turn round and say there you go you have him for 12m.

Also that was under different owners, I can't see NESV letting a player of Aqualanis quality going so cheap, I mean come on we bought him for 18m (or there abouts)?

I am not saying you are wrong, just saying I don't think it is as nailed on that Juve are going to get him as people think.

Tobey
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I believe a fee was agreed for him before he went on loan and Juve have first refusal. I don't think NESV would be that bothered as they did not pay the £20m for him, but would get the reported £12m when sold. What's your view on this Ed?

I know that ed, but if we some some foreign players this window, can we use the U21 in case we need to get the minimum amount of homegrown players? {ed's note - you don't need a minimum amount, it is purely a limit on the number of foreign players allowed.}

Hi Eds and every one, I think my long rumour post has caused a bit of traffic, look guys I am a mature student that has a lot of friends from uni and well all over the EU what I posted was their views.

I am going to take two examples from my post in more detail;

Babel - Saurez: My fiends an Ajax fan, he says Ryan coming home would be like a second coming, with Ryan exploding on the scene tearing up the division THEY LOVE HIM! But they also love Saurez the trouble is there is a silent minority that want him out and that silent minority tend to be the loudest. He would love to keep Saurez AND have Babel but thinks that is too good to be true.

Aqualani - Ronaldinho situation: My other friend is an AC fan and he assures me that AC will do everything that's possible to sign Aqua, they see him as the long term replacement of Pirlo maybe even better? The fact they can off load Ronaldinho, buy Aqua for as cheep as 15-20m is a brucy for them, remember they have there own home grown rules!

Ed I thought of an excellent idea if it's possible? can you some how put a link to other EU fans sites so when these things come up fans can actually click on a link and speak to Ajax fans or AC fans for example?

I know it would probably be difficult but it would greatly widen your fan base maybe you could get extra advertising revenue so you guys could get paid? And it would also make people not press unbelieve so quickly, if they could talk to other teams fans to clarify?

Tobey {ed's note - I doubt it would be possible mate, not without getting a bunch of editors who are also linguists.}

What's going to happen to Roy? The question on everyone's lips. Well, quite frankly, nothing. He's here until at least the end of the season. I think a lot was expected from him the minute he arrived. (I myself thought exactly the same, and I really shouldn't!) But, things seem to be levelling out slowly. The board is slowly but surely being formed, and the staff behind the scenes will follow in accordance. The true fans need to have the faith that we all know will carry us on to the next level, and next chapter in the history of LFC.
Good times and successful seasons to come!

Shhhhhh.

My 2 cents on the aqua situation

I was gutted when he was loaned but i think i see what they're trying. aqua was not adjusting to the english game and could not cope with the physicality of the league. if was sold immediately we wouldn't get any money for him. this way his wages for a year are paid by juve and hes sold in the end for a good fee as he is performing in italy.

dont expect him returning to liverpool bad bad buy on rafas part

09 Dec 2010 13:37:46
There is a big difference between a rumour and someone just making something up. After Babel's display on Monday night I can't see him going in January. Aqua as anyone who knows anything about LFC has been loaned to Juve with the FIRST REFUSAL going to them to buy him. How he could join AC mid loan is simply ridiculous. As for Fat Ronaldinho this will never happen. He turned down the chance to play for the Mancs as one of his main concerns was the climate, now last time I checked the weather here is the same as it is at their end of the M62! As for Poulson being sold for 4 million do you not think that other premier league managers watch our games? We all know he is an absolute donkey so why would they have not worked out the same. .go on, humour me!

I concur, any prem manager willing to pay 4 million for Poulsen ought to be fired on the spot. .oh, wait a minute, where does that leave Woy?

I'm with Toby on the aqualani thing. We paid what nearly 20 mil for him injured. He started showing abit of form at the end so to agree 12mil seems low, and he is well thought of in Italy so we would have known to ask for more than 12. Or are jive paying all his wages then I suppose we have saved a few mil that way.

_ _ _ _ _

In response to the above - I don't think we did PAY £20m, I think that was as high as the fee could have risen, based on performances and LFC's achievements.
£12m may represent a small write-down on the money we put upfront, but I think it's probably about break even to what we have actually paid to Roma.
Quite often last season I expected him to get a run of games and he never did, with Rafa citing fitness or mentality. I often wondered if it was linked to the number of appearances triggering an additional £Xm payment to Roma. .

We paid €20mill for Aquilani which was spread over 5 years at a cost of €4mill per year. Juve have paid the 2nd of these payments for his season long loan and have the option to buy him in the summer and pay the remaining €12 million. If they don't take up this option we will owe Roma €12 million but if he continues to perform well we may be able to sell him for more than this.

Your wrong, the weather in Manchester is not the same as Liverpool, Liverpool is coastal so tends to be warmer with less rain. {ed's note - actually Liverpool tends to be colder because of the cold wind that blows in off the Irish Sea.}

Right this Suarez stuff has to stop. He won't be coming in Jan. End off.

LFC were in negotaitions with AC over Ronaldinho, a deal couldn't be agreed for AC to pay half his wages. The idea was for him to join on loan with a view to signing on a free at the end of the season.

Wolfsburg have been in contact with LFC over Daniek Agger. They want him to pair up with his Danish teammate Simon Kjaer (we really should have signed this lad when we had the chance). LFC holding out for £12m, Wolfsburg value him at £8.

On the previous Schalke rumours, it appears it was Ivan Rakatic being scouted. The young Croat hasn't commited to a new deal and may be available. jefferson Farfan has apparently caught the eye as well.kk

It is very simple. Juventus have FIRST REFUSAL to buy Aquaman. The deal is a shambles. He is playing out of his skin and they can buy him for just 12 MILLION. It is a signed deal end of. Even if we want him back THEY HAVE FIRST REFUSAL.

Ed, one thing I wanted to run by you Steven Piennar. Everybody knows this lad is as Red as Red can be. you can see by the way he always give everything in the Derby games. It seems a no brainer that we should be in for the boy. Do you think that the complete radio silence on him regarding us suggests that we are interested and its being kept quiet because of the bother it will undoubtedly kick off? Or do you think that Woy just doesn't rate him? If he joins Tottenham for 3 mill as suggested then I think it would be a travesty. He should a a target all day long
RED77 {ed's note - there was a lot of talk that he was deliberately running down his contract to try and join us on a free because Moyes refused to sell him to us. I can't tell you if that is really true or just stirring though.}

Red77 please don't mistake me, I am not stating this will defo happen as a master plan, this is just what I have heard from around the EU, some may happen, maybe none but I just thought it was quite interesting that a lot of the deals are so interlinked with one another. . . one rumour stating a player is going somewhere then another rumour that a player is going there at about roughly the same price?? ?

Piece the two together. . . . . and probably get a load of carp, but hey I am not a board member and my friends are not agents or in the know. . we are all just football fans.

O.K. guys, I have a lot of friends across Europe, it was one of there birthdays last night and we all got chatting on FB. . . . .a lot of interesting stuff was said about LFC. There are several rumours doing the rounds, this is not one entire rumour but several being put together, some maybe accurate while others obviously are off the mark. . .

First off the whole transfer window will depend on players leaving especially Babel, Agger and Aqualani these three are key!

My Dutch friend tells me that Suares and Babel will be a straight swap, apparently Suares is really peed off with his treatment of the biting incident (not being defended by the club) and also Jol as has been reported, leaving. Babel on the other hand still demands a lot of respect back home and wants to re ignite his career and get back in the national team.

The next part in this web is Ronaldinho, my friends in Italy are adamant he is coming to LFC, AC Milan will pay a percentage of his wages (it is cheaper to pay a percentage than all plus they are not going to make any more money on shirt sales this window, they made that last summer, financially it makes sense) so all this scare mun-goring about him costing LFC 3.5 is a load of bull, it will be nearer half that! But there is another motive for AC Milan that I will come on to later.

The third is Honda, this will be paid for by the sale of Agger, my Iti friends think he is off to Italy my Dutch friends think it's Germany, personally I think it's Germany for around 12m, which is roughly the price of Honda.

Next will be the big clear out El zahr, Aurilio, Jovanovic, Intandje and Degen etc they seemed to know several locations for these players which I am not going to say here because this is already a long post! But just over 10m will be raised which will go towards Rami, my French mate seems to think that this is a given?

All these deals haven't really cost LFC anything so far, Aqualani WILL BE SOLD in Jan but not to Juve but to AC Milan! Hence the Ronaldinho sweetner, they think in the region of 15m, Paulson will also be sold to another Prem club, my source seems to think it's either Everton or Blackburn, the sum being tauted is 4m. This money will go towards the purchase of Hazzard for 22m! Again all this merry go round has not cost LFC anything yet, except insurance signing on fees etc.

Last but not least the last signing and the only signing that will cost us is Llorente, all three of my Spanish friends think this is happening. Sorry about the long post but as Camoli said this aint the usual Jan transfer window.

Another reason why this won't happen is Juve have first refusal on Aquilani and the form he has been showing makes him a cert to be a Juve player. But only in the summer. And it will only cost them £12m.

Said around 6 weeks ago from a source at the club that they are looking to get rid of G.Johnson in january with juve as possible suitors. .This is no coincidence that Kelly is being brought through as RB cover and we are nearly all but done on the Rod fanni deal. .WHY would we be so heavily linked with right wingers if they thought Glenn Johnson could do it? ?
Myself I would keep him as RB and try and help him become a more acomplished defender cos if he could do that with his attacking ability would be a good weapon to use a bit like bale at spurs but not as good.
bit sick of us wasting talent at this club it's all we ever do. .do we have no decent coaches at the club? extra sessions for the following please. .
Kuyt- keeping possesion.passing,
Babel- decision making, Passing,
Ngog- hold up play, running of the ball, Passing,

Just a few little examples. .

Ed your thoughts? {ed's note - the problem with Johnson is his attitude and wages, he is not well liked and he is being paid far too much.}

Glen Johnson's going nowhere. Kuyt maybe though. getting on a bit and should sell now to get money's worth. Kuyt has been a great player for us and I wish him all the best. G. Johnson to take over on right wing with new right back being brought with Kelly as understudy. Honda to arrive to fill left wing spot. Meireles, Gerrard, Lucas, Cole to compete for two centre slots. As for new strike partner for Torres, very hush hush at the minute. Don't rule out a Meireles like surprise near the end of the window.
More as it comes. .

Shhhhhh.

All these names and links and so called in the know. Whilst its fun to speculate merely listing as many names as you can and coming back with 'I told you so' in february does not mean your in the know. I am not in the know except to say I'm really glad to see that no-one knows and we're doing things now the liverpool way. The only rumours (in my none knowing opinion) that seem to have any legs are the Honda rumours (which I really hope materialise) and the link with Ajax. most other rumours are merely guesswork and blind optimism or regurgitated rumours from other sites/ press. Whilst its good to talk/ speculate and enthuse about our club and hopes for the future lets not get carried away. Please continue with your so called rumours people but don't try and convince folk that your in the know. You don't have to say it because i for one don't believe you more because you tell me your best friends with a senior players brothers uncle etc etc. to the editors keep up the good work

Thank you so much for explaining what a 'rumour' is! I thought everything I was reading on here was 100% fact from members of the board!

Dear ed do you think liverpool will sell glen johnson and buy this fullback fanni and also make a bid for ashley young i think he would be agood aquasition for the reds and for forwards i would like to see fernando llorente but not sure have got enough money for that. {ed's note - I think Johnson will go, his wages are too high, not sure if Fanni will be the replacement though. As for Young he is useless, he is a very average player who gets hyped because he is English, most Villa fans don't rate him.}

Ed do you think johnson will be sold in jan {ed's note - I think it is more likely to be in the summer if he goes.}

Apologies ed and readers. After further investegation into the Pongolle rumour it appears he plays for sporting lisbon, not Benfica as i had said. Was told we were watching him along with Benfica and Schalke, put 2 and 2 together and came up with 7, that being Pongolle played for Benfica. Sorry for any confusion i may have caused. kk {ed's note - ooops sorry, I didn't notice this or I would have put them up together rather than mentioning Flo is elsewhere.}

Just heard a strange wee rumour, kind of don't know what to make of it myself. liverpool scouts have been watching both Schalke and Benfica, and where present when they played this week. One of the players being watched from Benfica is former player Florent Sinama Pongolle. Haven't quite got the information on who the Schalke players are, possibly Rakatic? But will disclose more when i hear more.kk {ed's note - Flo plays in Spain, Zaragoza I think, on loan from another side. I watched him earlier this season on Sky and he still hasn't learnt anything about how or when to make runs.}

To the guy who wrote in about Christain Eriksen's goal scoring ratio, and compared it to Suarez's, is really like comparing Torres with Meireles. Ones a striker, ones a midfielder. Eriksen is a player being looked at strongly by LFC, and would jump at the chance to join us. kk

Get a grip everyone, why oh why would we want to sign Ronaldhino? Soooo past it it is unbelievable. Why not try and get Digger Barnes outta retirement?

Just heard that Iain Dowie has been offered the Newcastle job, looks like things are gonna get VERY UGLY at SJP :-)

Hi Ed, in your opinion/ to the best of your knowledge, what are the chances of the following:

Ashley Young?
Rod Fanni?
Ronaldinho?
Keisuke Honda?
Luis Suarez?

and who would you say will leave?
Babel, hope not, still got lots to prove and he definitely has the talent, just needs playing in proper position imo.
Johnson? again i hope not, would be best played as a RM with Kelly RB. {ed's note - hard to say any more mate, since the takeover the club have become a lot more professional and leaks are being closed down. In my opinion though the only one of those I believe we are in for is Honda, though it is hard to be sure as all the talking is coming from CSKA and Honda himself. As for outs, that is anyone's guess right now, players have a bit of time left to prove themselves, a lot will depend on which players want to go.}

Clint dempsey and rod fanni seem like realistic targets in january. They both won't be uefa cup tied and they won't be that expensive. Ive been looking into the Honda situation and i don't think he's gonna come cheap as he only joined CSKA last january for 8 million. If we do get him it will be over 10 million. Did any 1 see pavluchenko's agent come out and say hes getting a new deal? He commented saying keane and crouch are now more likely to leave spurs rather than pav, maybe a cheeky loan bid for crouchy? I loved him at liverpool.

roby kean joined liverpool and left 6 mon ths later for what was 7 mill cheaper.

I can't see Eriksen being the target for Liverpool at this time. The kid may have talent but he's only scored 1 league goal in his life at Ajax and has never scored an international goal. I think he is at least a couple years away from making an impact in the Prem. As opposed to Suarez who has scored 81 league goals and 16 international goals.

like that would stop reds from getting him. . if am correct wasnt that also ngogs record the season before we bought him?

ED this morning we have been linked with Ashley Young again this morning and it says that Comolli is try to seal a 15mil move so if we got Ashley does that mean the Honda deal was just smoke screen and do you have any information on the fanni coming in on the right?


ramy2007 {ed's note - the Honda deal was not a smoke screen for anything mate, it was the player talking up a move, if it doesn't happen it is because we didn't want him. I don't believe the Young links, it is just papers filling column inches, as usual, with any player looking to leave their current club by linking him to any club looking for players. As for info on Fanni coming (I really need to reword that don't I?), I don't have any info mate, nothing is coming out of the club at all right now.}

Ed what are your thoughts on jonas gutierrez? i read he could go for 8 mil. seems reasonable but there are better options for wingers {ed's note - he is rubbish, not even worth £8.}

09 Dec 2010 07:40:16
Lots of rumours linking us with Suarez for a price of around 10 million. Ed what do you think on the chances of signing him and, do you think he would make a good signing at that price? {ed's note - I am not convinced on this mate, I think we were watching other players rather than him. But if we want him we have a great chance of getting him, Ajax need to sell and he wants to leave.}

Ed . Rod fanni for Glen Johnson?
Sacrificing a home grown england international ?
How would we replace that home grown player ? {ed's note - won't Martin Kelly be an over 21 year old next season? In which case he will fill one home grown slot.}

Liverpool lining up a january move for ronaldinho! contract expires in june currently on 6.3 mil a year don't think it will happen there will probably be richer clubs in contention as apparently a long list of clubs are interested, although i do hope he comes to LFC. The reds are also keeping tabs on luis saurez as he looks to leave ajax after departure of martin jol. available for cut price of 9 mil and the player is requesting a move in january. both stories wer posted on goal.com

Regarding the heavy links to Honda being a done deal, LFC watching Ajax & talk of Rod Fanni (a right back) being enquired about, I would imagine this chain of events happening in January.

Honda in from CSKA Moscow.
Johnson to Spurs in return for Krancjar + cash (I would like him to stay but there were reports a while ago about him wanting to leave).
Van Der Wiel in from Ajax.

Just my thoughts and I'll probably be proven wrong. Only January will reveal all!

Well ed whats the chances
ronaldinino free
young 15 and swap
maybe gary cahill

the face man {ed's note - I can't see it happening, Ronaldinho would want too much in wages, he is on a hell of a lot more than any player we have. Young wants to go back down south. I just hope not on Cahill because he is a hoofer, we need a defender with the ability to play the ball from the back.}

If I could have hit the believe button more I would have. This man speaks sense! Been a rough year for us folk with the current economic climate, the Spaniards are next. .not one for wishing the worst but hope the money troubles in Spain give us a bit of luck in January, and that the new owners have a few suprises up their sleeves. Heard a few bad things about Comolli but hope he's worth his salt. Might be unrealistic to expect too much this season in terms of the premiership, but getting 2/ 3 top notch players in January and letting them settle in for a couple of months, along with bedding in some of the youth. . could lead to a good season and rosy future for LFC. Would like to see a new striker and somebody to add some width and pace. What do you think Ed?

hol {ed's note - I agree mate, width and a striker is our main priority right now.}
