Liverpool Rumours Archive December 09 2015

Hi Ed002, can you tell us whether there is any shred of truth behind the rumours of grosskreutz moving to lfc?

{Ed002's Note - Grosskreutz has previously said that he wants one day to play in England and once noted, to the annoyance of Jurgen Klopp, that his dream was to play for Arsenal. Then a couple of years ago, to the annoyance of Jurgen Klopp, he told the press that it was his dream to play for Liverpool. Dortmund were open to a summer move as his contract was running down and he was injured for much of last season. He completed a move to Galatasaray in the summer which was not endorsed by UEFA as the paperwork was not completed in time. He is eligible to start playing for them (or anyone else) from January. He will leave if a suitable offer is made to Galatasaray and the player - right now Galatasaray said on December 4 that they know he wishes to leave but they have had no approaches. I have not heard anything since then.}

Hrqs not going to improve us! Another Milner player.

09 Dec 2015 19:34:27
Nobody is as bad as milner has been for us. His performance vs newcastle were his worst by far this season.

09 Dec 2015 23:12:08
Don't know him that we'll but he can play wing or cover for RMB, two positions we lack decent cover in.

10 Dec 2015 05:17:12
He is a similar sort of player to Milner in that he is a wide player, who is a grafter without any real marked traits. Milner can at least cross.

Exactly, absolutely no need for him.

Funny isn't it when Brendan is there we buy to micj crap and don't use the academy but when its klopp and your throw in the old club as Dortmund then any player is acceptable for us.

Cheers Ed, that's very interesting.

He sounds like a real utility player, having played all over the pitch for Dortmund.

At least Jurgen won't be accused of playing him out of position ;-)

09 Dec 2015 20:49:00
Sounds like a big fat no then Ed lol and more fabrication across most sites.

{Ed002's Note - He is certainly available. As to what he would add, I don't know.}

09 Dec 2015 21:29:38
Edds do you think he would improve our 11 if he were to sign?

{Ed002's Note - No.}

10 Dec 2015 17:03:10
thanks edds.

{Ed002's Note - You're welcome.}

Are there any updates on naming rights for new main stand.

09 Dec 2015 10:13:17
The Daniel sturridge stand as its only time were going to get him at Anfield at this rate.

09 Dec 2015 12:29:08
Hahaha good one Paulo.

09 Dec 2015 16:05:35
He might get injured standing then?

09 Dec 2015 16:52:26
Surely something with regards the 96 has to be incorporated into it?

10 Dec 2015 04:02:33
Daniel sturridge stand would not even last with just a person on it.

10 Dec 2015 11:15:01
In my opinion, respectfully, I don't see the necessity of incorporating the 96 into the stand name. There is already a hillsborough memorial and a "96" with eternal flames on our kit - and we hold a hillsborough memorial service every year - I believe our remembrance and respect for those who lost their lives in the tragedy is sufficient. If the club wishes to do more, in terms of funding for support groups or funding for any further legal challenges in future then they have my full support - I personally don't see it necessary to incorporate a hillsborough reference into the name of a new stand.

I hope nobody takes this the wrong way - it is a difficult subject and I have tried to explain my position in as respectful way as possible. If anybody does take offence then I offer my apologies in advance.

10 Dec 2015 13:04:55
I struggle to see much chance of the naming rights not being sold - maybe the Standard Charter stand?

11 Dec 2015 01:10:12
It doesn't have to be 'surely', that makes people who object to it- like myself- seem like insensitive cretins.

We don't need to reference Hillsborough in every single thing. It presents an image of a club that refuses to move on.

The Prawn Sandwich Stand 😎.
