I wouldn't like to say. I did leave a post on the Chelsea Banter for Torres (I didn't know where to leave an e mail for him) with an idea that he used some of his book profits to send a donation to the Marina Dalglish Appeal. I sometimes look on the Spurs rumours for their mad signing opinions like Kaka and so on. Funny like.

I pop in every now and again to other sites Spriggo. And noticed straight away there lack of reality of all things football.

I've just went into the WBA site and warned them that Hodgson is favourite for their managers job. If this is true and Hodgson gets it, surely they should have stuck with Di Matteo? Who we all thought was a have decent manager, with a bright future.

I think everyones over reacting regarding pepe reina and forgetting while arteta's still at everton pepe's still got probs his closest friend in football Still living in the city!

But if he does decide to go yea it will be disappointing but we'll trust Kenny and his team to get the best replacement possible!

Ed do you think we will try for another striker that is first team qualitiy i think we will go for a winger and maybe a cm

{Editor's Note: I don't expect a striker.}

Ed I really do think KK should have a stern word with all the squad and make it clear if any of the players do not want to play for lfc and can't be bothered when the club is going through a hard patch but are obviously on the rise then LFC does not want them either. We the fans are sick and tired of players becoming world class and then wanting to leave at their prime to play somewhere else, we the fans deserve much more commitment and if you don't want us WE DON'T WANT YOU EITHER! ed what is your take?

hibsylfc

{Editor's Note: I recognise players are transient. You are demanding all of this commitment from Liverpool players yet still demand that the club go and raid other clubs for their players. Suarez for example - did he show a lack of respect and commitment to Ajax? If so, why do you want him at Liverpool?}

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 23:07:12
Macca if this is true - then h*** Reina he only signed a new contract in April and by the same summer he wants to leave - let him go then! Absolutely no loyalty! Again if this is true! Does he have a buy-out clause in his contract?
-----------------------
With all due respect, Your an idiot, IF Reina was intrested in Arsenal in the summer, So what, There a great club, With great history, Great manager, Great players, Of course Arsenal is appealing, Just like Liverpool, By what your saying Reina should like us and ONLY us, What a load of sh*te.

Liverpool in the sumer had:

Poor owners
Poor players
Poor Manager
NO team spirit
And going backwards

ooh h*ck were do i sign up, Get a grip mate he STAYED didn't he, He's been loyal in EVERY press statement, He's given 110% EVERY game.

I think your idea of Football, Is rose tinted mate.

Three at the back has worked well for us so far, as kenny said, because we had players available. we arnt the quickest in the centre half dept, but we have strong cb and in agger, a ball playing one 2. as has been pointed out, because we have no out and out wingers, the wing backs make up 4 this. its good we can adapt formations, makes us a harder team to play against. I remember Roy Evans playing 3 at the back, in scales, babb, and ruddock- 3 totally diff types of players and back then we wernt far from being a title winning side, last decent footballing side we had

i totaly disagree with this comment(no offense mate)because when teams are on the press against us it turns into a 5 at the bck and when were on the press it turns the other way. it makes the perfect sense and don't understand why other teams havnt been using it as much its givin johnson and kelly a great time bombing down the wings when were on the offence and been cover when defending

I'd love a winger. I'd also love that lad Eriksen but I don't know if we could fit him into our play and if we could afford him. I'd also love a tougher player in the middle of the pitch but who could play a bit. Graeme Souness style.

The fact of the matter is Clarke is the tactical genius and a great coach while is a Dalglish is great at handling the media and can motivate the team

When the teamed looked at Hodgson they saw a manager but when the team look at Dalglish they see a legend -Mc

 

 

 

 


10 Feb 2011 23:06:01
We should get Eriksen in 2011 and loan him back until 2012. by then, he will be ready to fill stevie's aging shoes

 

 

 

 


10 Feb 2011 22:52:36
Does any one else think we need a creative or tough tackling cm (Adam / banega/ defour to sit in front of the back 4/ 5 , solid cb ( Cahill / mexes ) and a winger ( young / turan
What do you think ed post in roumers
also what is the portugese cdm who used to play wid raul ?

Hi all
bad news about jonjo he was really getting his chance and looking like a decent player . i hope kenny gives pacheco his chance now by giving him 20 minutes a game i feel this is the best way to introduce young players to the first team by putting them into a full strength premier side rather than a weakened europa team.this way the player gets real experience with real pressure it also helps to play in a team when you have good players around you. Some of the older guys on here will remember that that was the players used to be introduced to the squad this way when kenny was previosly in charge.

maybe capello could learn by this i remember the days when to be an england international you had to have had a few years experiance at the top level before you got a call up. ynwa

More scouse than a mouse

I believe he brought Steve Clarke to cover some shortfalls. I think Mr Dalglish knows where his areas of weakness are and if there are any left he will try to cover them as best as possible. I think if he wasn't up to it then I don't think he would take the job.

Just because my views are different to yours, and i'm not a fan that worships the ground the man walks on you assume im a toffee! What a load of rubbish! i know who i support and ever since rafa took over i haven't been happy with the club! I'll still support everything we do but as a paying fan i think i deserve to voice my opinion.

Fair enough Mouse IF you are an LFC fan, then i apologise for calling you a Toffee nose.

But your post i was responded to sounded like somthing a Toffee nose would say. Forget about Kenny for a momment and focus on what you said about Carroll, Gerrard and the rest of the BS you said. You also said that we should have bought Davies instead of Carroll. If we are building for the future, then how does buying Davies (33) make sense, instead of buying Carroll (22)?

It's not that i don't like him as such it's that i don't think he's the man to save liverpool as much as a lot us want him to be.

He may of won our last 4 games and one against Chelsea but that doesn't prove anything to me as anyone could of done it. .

I just feel that he hasn't done enough to earn my respect and admiration as a MANAGER, and i think that being out of the game for so long and not being a manager for so long will come back to haunt him at some stage. .

More Scouse Than A Mouse.

It is WHO the manager surrounds himself with is what is important. In getting in Steve Clarke he has pulled off a master stroke. I imagine Kenny will talk to the players, build confidence, while Clarke will look at the tactical side. I know a man (who I've mentioned many times (who has worked with him) on site and gave insight on Joe Cole)) and says Clarke is exceptional and very adapt at getting sides set up in the right way.

You are right we are all entitled to our opinions and in my humble opinion you are a pathetic Liverpool fan, he won the 1st division three times and two FA Cups as a manager for Liverpool and won the premiership once with Blackburn, and that's not enough to earn your repect and admiration? YOU ARE A JOKE and if you really are a Liverpool fan you should be ashamed of yourself!

PS . This is what he won as a LIVERPOOL player

I have no news mate, sorry. The only thing i know is that Pepe was very interested in joining Arsenal last summer.

I think if we are successful and he can see good things happening he will stay, if not he will go.

I do not think he would join Utd only Arsenal.

10 Feb 2011 21:52:39
Don't like 3 at the back myself, I think it's easily undone by only playing 1 up against them. It worked against Stoke because we were at home and had majority of possession and v Chelsea because they played 3 up.
We don't have quick wide players so I can see why kenny is playing this formation long term when we buy some wide players this won't used again.

 

 

 

 


10 Feb 2011 21:48:41
Two additions is all we need in my opinion.
-Fabio Coentrao Benifica LWB/ LM
Would fit perfectly into our new system opposite Johnson. Practically a winger but defensively adept enough to get back when needed. Would be pricey but absolutely worth it.
-Charlie Adam Blackpool CM
Even if Blackpool do not get relegated, which i hope they don't because they play fantastic football and Holloway is a class act, Adam should be available for about 5million because he will have just a year left on his contract

I know steve clarke and kenny have said this 3 man defense was for the stoke game and chelsea game and may not be a permanent thing, but I truly think it could be the way forward for us. It makes us very solid at the back and actually frees up a spot for an extra striker because you still have your two wingers/ wingbacks, three central midfielders, and then two strikers.
And of any position we have probably the most depth at centre half, with:
Agger
Kelly
Carragher
Skrtel
Wilson
Ayala
Kryiakgos

All of those are capable of playing PL level football (yes even the Greek is useful at times). And we have Andre Wisdom coming along as well.

Just think lads, what if this was our new trademark thing. And in my opinion it makes us more attacking as well as better defensively.

Anyone else want to see more of the 3 at the back?
Ed do you like our new formation? I think it blows all of that rubbish about Kenny's out of date tactics right out of the water.

Anfield Rapstar {ed's note - it suits the players we have well, that is the most important thing to consider for a formation.}

It frustrates me that Reina would consider Arsenal a step up from us - they have won nothing in recent times and have not challenged for the title in recent years (although are consistent top 4). So that means it must be all about Champs Lge. I don't understand - we play two games per season against Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton and even City - these are bigger, higher level and tougher games than most CL games (until the qtr finals) in my opinion. I do admit mine is an armchair fans view as I live in Australia, so don't make it to (m)any games - I love watching the CL but not as much as when we play Man U, Chelsea or Everton in the league - LIVERPRES

Reina
Kelly Carragher Skrtel Agger Johnson
Meireles Lucas Gerrard
Suarez Kuyt

Until we get some quality wingers (summer) we should stick to this formation as it allows johnson and kelly to bomb down the wings giving us width and cover at the back (3 centre halves). I think KK has found us a very effective formation! :)

A lot of posts are demanding 2 wingers? I can only think of 5 lfc wingers from the 60s to now if note - Callaghan, heighway, johnston, barnes and mcmanaman (just).

Was barnes 1 of 2 wingers, no! I don't trust wingers I find them inconsistent, poor defenders & often a liability in your team.

Kk has found a working formula in 5-3-2, we look a tight unit and creative. A young would be a no for me and Johnson a yes.

I know it's a rumours page but some fans think it's football manager with wholsesale changes requested and players they have prob never seen.

I said to fellow lfc fans, when woy was manager, our best 11 is good enough for top 4. Look at spam prob their most average team for year, the diff is the right man in charge and kk & Clarke have made the most of what is at anfield. Now we have real top 4 potential.

My point is major changes arn't req'd in the summer, it int about a team of superstars it being a team with the right man in charge.

I would like to see a Wilson-Carra-Agger, back three -Mc

***************
Not sure why so many fans don't rate Skrtel? Yes he has been a little shaky this season, but you can never fault his commitment. Wilson will get his chance when Carra retires. I think Kyrgiakos will move on in the summer.

- - - - - - - - - -

its not that i don't rate him (He's a decent player and i don't like bashing liverpool players, exept Voronin), i would just like to see how Wilson does and rather replace Skrtel than Agger or Carra -Mc

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 20:38:49
Whats the real story on whats happening at liverpool.

first torres moved just after saying he was staying.
now reina it can't be just because they want champion league football.

is there an underlying cause,

it just seems very strange when kennys getting things right please ed can you tell me

{Editor's Note: Players are transient - they come and go.}

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 20:39:28
Seems many of the players that moved clubs in the January transfer window signed 5 1/ 2 year contracts seems clubs are lookng ot tie players down on the very long term deal to protect there financial outlay , many contracts had levelled out at the 4 year deal until recently .

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 20:28:14
I'm probably the only scouser than can't stand king kenny! Sure, he's a club legend but he hasn't been in management for years, and yeah you can suggest that we're winning now but that is simply because everyone is out to impress KK, give it 5 weeks and we'll be back to our old ways. our TEAM isn't good enough to win the league, our keeper wants out, we've signed two forwards one is only proven in the dutch league and the other in the championship (i don't care if he's scored 9 goals this season). We may need someone to hold the ball up but Kevin Davies would of been a much better buy and would of only cost about £5 Million, then we could of used that £30 to replace the getting slightly injury prone Gerrard.

More Scouse Than A Mouse.

 

 

 

 


10 Feb 2011 20:28:58
Here, i never realised Arda Turan has actually stated that he would love to play for liverpool? why havent we made a bid for him? he is world class and brings creativity! he is also well priced!

{Editor's Note: He has not been available - but will probably be in the summer. Atletico Madrid and others will also be interested.}

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 20:11:18
{Editor's Note: I have the gut feeling that Reina is not really sure whether to leave or not, but may be closer to being out than being in right now. If a replacement is needed Schmeichel would likely be discounted due to lack of experience at the top level - and the same is maybe true of Scott Loach who is a better keeper, but may need to drop to the bench for a while before becoming first choice at a better club. As for Torre, I think he left simply for the reasons he stated - he was not leaving for one last big pay day at 26.}

*****************
Dunno Ed, I watched Nando very closely and he has lost that blistering acceleration and pace off the mark that made him so lethal. He never was the most skilful players around. Dont think he will ever fulfill his 50m price.

And Schmeichel was around at ManC for a while (so has a little prem exp) and now been playing v/ well with Leeds. I rated him as good a Hart when at ManC and I think it was 50/ 50 between them at one stage. I like him.

nando will still score at chelsea , he has lost half a yrd of pace but he ll still score

as for schmeichel when at man city i actually believed he was better than joe hart

 

 

 

 


10 Feb 2011 20:11:27
Ed, any idea how much Reina is earning? Take the Torres saga, he was on 120k a week with us - granted he is no longer the player he was - but if he was on form and rated one of the top 5 CF's around, shouldnt he have been closer to 200k a week? i.e. what he left Chelski for? Reina is imo the 2nd best keeper in the world, shouldn't he also be around that. I know we shouldnt be held to ransom, but paying our top players as well as any other major club would surely also avoid problems down the line. Thoughts Ed?

Ed, I gotta say that I really don't understand Torres then if he did leave to win trophy's. Has he not followed Chelsea this season? Even a blind man can see that their squad is on the decline. They will not win the CL and will battle to qualify for it next year. I think it was for the 200k a week.

{Editor's Note: Chelsea were doing well and top of the table - thyey have then had a run of bad results - that is all. Over the past few years they have been successful.}

Its been a long two years. From the H&G fiasco, debt, embarrassing results, too many wrong things said by rafa, and roy, sub-standard players coming in, to defensive and just things not the liverpool way. From being challengers for the title 2yrs ago (and maybe wearing my rose tinted glasses, over performing or not, think we deserved the title, especially the way we played after xmas) to being in the bottom 3 at xmas gone, to being a very outside shout for a 4th place, which is maybe too late this season. Things look a lot better, slowly turning things round under Kenny, and Steve Clarke who seems to be getting a lot of praise from the players in their interviews. Seems all of a sudden that we're getting respect back, from the media, other teams, and begrudgingly other supporters. Lets hope the results keep getting better (going to chelsea and only have two shots against and playing good, controlled football is going the right way) and we finish as high as we can. Can see Kenny(hopefully if hes in charge) only bringing in a couple of first teamers next season as we used to do, so as not to shake to much of the team up, but probarbly sign 3-4 younger lads where we havnt got anyone coming through the res. The res look good, and the youth too. Isnt it ironic that Rafa shook the academy up, and now theres quality coming through, he wouldn't have used them, but hopefully now we'll see how good they are.

{Editor's Note: I have the gut feeling that Reina is not really sure whether to leave or not, but may be closer to being out than being in right now. If a replacement is needed Schmeichel would likely be discounted due to lack of experience at the top level - and the same is maybe true of Scott Loach who is a better keeper, but may need to drop to the bench for a while before becoming first choice at a better club. As for Torre, I think he left simply for the reasons he stated - he was not leaving for one last big pay day at 26.}

*****************
Dunno Ed, I watched Nando very closely and he has lost that blistering acceleration and pace off the mark that made him so lethal. He never was the most skilful players around. Dont think he will ever fulfill his 50m price.

And Schmeichel was around at ManC for a while (so has a little prem exp) and now been playing v/ well with Leeds. I rated him as good a Hart when at ManC and I think it was 50/ 50 between them at one stage. I like him.

Just going of the latest published Deloitte's Premier Rich List, Liverpool's REVENUE (not taking into account the clubs expenditure) in the 2008/ 2009 season see's us at number 8 with £184.5m.

Failure to qaulify for the Chamions leauge cost us more which may have took us to 7th, but we still trail behind Manure (£286.4m), Arsenal (£224.4m) and Chelsea (£209.5).

Now the debt burden has been removed, our club looks in fantastic shape going forward into the future, especially with the introduction of the UEFA financial fair play rules looming.

New/ revamped stadium + NESV's expertise in this area will greatly improve our position in the revenue list. Just thought I would share the info for those who have not yet seen.

I have no news mate, sorry. The only thing i know is that Pepe was very interested in joining Arsenal last summer.

I think if we are successful and he can see good things happening he will stay, if not he will go.

I do not think he would join Utd only Arsenal.

Macca

************
So he wanted to go to Arsenal to win things? lol lol lol. . Maybe we should cash in on him, seems all the spaniards we had lost interest when Rafa left. I think we should start concentrating on young talent not from spain. They all long for Barca or Real at some stage. Only comitted players going forward.

More scouse than a mouse

Why slate Johnson now and Carroll when he hasn't played? You messin or what? Carroll was brought in as we needed a lad who had a physical presence and can bring others into play. We had no options for that type of forward and he is the best option available and the one with the most potential. Johnson has been nothing but superb on the left hand side and we have conceded no goals. You can't do that if the team isn't all pulling together.

Sort you act out.

I remember when Benitez came in; poor squad (apart from Gerrard, Hyppia, Carragher and Finnan - I've not included people who constantly missed games due to injury - not having a dig at them either).

I remember how in revenue terms we've fallen behind our rivals (remember the last Calsberg contract was worth £7m per season whilst Spurs have had £20m deals for years being less successful).

Unfortunately Rafa, due to media spotlight (where he wasn't liked) and constant arguements he IMO lost his way in football; it happens to the best of us.

I try to forget Hodgsons 6 months in charge and the need to speak drivel to the press.

I'm happy KK is Manager (though I didn't think he was the right choice in the summer; yes better than Hodgson but I was unsure; how I don't mind standing corrected).

I'm happy with our performances under KK; (Scum was going to be hard with those 2 decisions) and Blackpool resting their whole team prior to our visit to them (after Scum) are not as bad as people make out.

I'm happy KK has looked at the team and played to its strengths (we don't have out and out wingers/ wide midfielder's except Maxi). So wing backs work for now.

U know what I'm most happy about?

I'm happy we've got Kelly and Shelvey getting in the team; I'm happy Suso looks the best player outside the 1st team at 17; I'm happy we have players like Wisdom, Sterling, Silva, Flanagan, Robinson, Coady improving every week and getting chances to train with the 1st team squad.

I'm happy Wilson, Ayala, Pacheco are bubbling under.

I look back at how we were and what we are now and what potential we've got and I'm happy we've got owners prepared to spend money on the right players and wanting to increase revenue and move forward.

It may not look like it but progress has been made and it will continue to be made; 3 or 4 signings (getting rid of people who are not or are unlikely to get in the 1st team) in the summer. If youngsters don't make it they're likely to have a better resale value to us now as they're better than they were 5 years ago.

We're far stronger than we realise; just may take a couple of seasons to prove it!

Reina - Best keeper in the league but i think he'll leave this summer, not to sure who though, either Bayern, AC or the mancs. and before you say we won't sell to them, if they meet the £20 Million clause we literally don't get a say.

There's no binding buy-out clause, I guarantee you. Even if there was I doubt Pepe would be as disrespectful as to join the team we dislike most.

Mate, he lasted barely an hour against us in both games, he was completely blown after that. Great out of the starting gate, but what's the point of a 1 hour player?

I 100% agree UCCM mate. Suso is the best young player i've seen play for us, at youth or reserve level. I'm really glad that Kenny promoted him to the 1st team squad, as for me this kid is a special talent.

Blair Mayne YNWA

Cheers mate, Iv'e read alot of your posts on here and alway's find myself agreeing (even on post i didn't want to), Your opinions are very accurate, Sometimes harsh but always honest, So what do you think regarding the Pacheco saga, Personally i think he'll leave at the end of the season, He spend so long being the next bright youngster to break through, But hasn't been given the chance, I think if he isn't given assurences that he'll be regular squad player (not resi) and a Spanish team come calling he'll be very tempted.

What do you think blair, And Ed

UCCM

{Editor's Note: I think Pacheco may well leave in the summer - and Amoo.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Pacheco is a strange one UCCM. He's been in the squad recently and signed a new contract in December. So hopefully Kenny has told him to be patient and work hard, and he will get his chance.

But i think Kenny is playing it safe at the momment by playing Maxi instead of Pacheco (which seems to be working). I know i was crying out for Pacheco to start under Hodgson, but when Kenny came in he had to do what was needed for the club, and go with experienced players. 5-6 weeks ago we all wanted Pacheco in, but as we can see from recent results, Kenny knows best.

As for Amoo? I really liked this kid and thought he would have at least some 1st team games by now.

Hi it was me that was suggesting offering blackpool a keeper and when you said about jones being there previously and had been awfull, i'm not suprised i don't rate him one bit can't for the life of me understand us buying him (mind roy was in charge) i wouldn't give him to my worst enemy! Think it would be good for one of our younger keepers to get that level of experience bit like joe hartt at birmingham! . . . . . . Grelders!

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 17:56:40
Let's review our main starting 11 shall we.
Reina - Best keeper in the league but i think he'll leave this summer, not to sure who though, either Bayern, AC or the mancs. and before you say we won't sell to them, if they meet the £20 Million clause we literally don't get a say.

Kelly - Great future ahead of him, IMO he'll be the bets english RB for years to come.

Carragher - I think we need to start looking at a new CB, whether from the Academy or elsewhere, he can't go on forever after all.

Skrtel - Under rated IMO, still needs a little work but more than good enough for top 4-6.

Johnson - I think he's terrible! I'd much rather have someone like Kolarov there.

Maxi - He's pretty much average! no better than Bentley IMO

Gerrard - Well he's gerrard, athough he's had an awful season.

meiriles - looks good, next year we'll see his best.

Kuyt - Was so much better as a striker, shame really.

Suarez - Time will tell but i think he's a little over rated.

Carroll - I don't see it, i'd much rather of paid £35 Million for Pato or someone like that.

- - - - - - - - -

Before we get our hopes up just remember that it's a hard league and we've got a manager who hasn't managed for years. let's se where we finish this season before we talk about next season. Although if i'm being really honest, i love this club so much! But i don't see us breaking the top 4 this year and if city carry on we're not going to win the league any time soon either. .

. . I'm not connected to anyone thank you. I am somewhat irritated at the suggestion that as I am a free thinker and able to balance views about tricky subjects, I am a bit of a target. Good job free speech is alive and well!

Hey Ed, any idea on how Keirrison is performing these days? He looked a real talented striker a couple of years ago. Is he still a Barca player? Could he be an option for us?

{Editor's Note: I think he is on loan at Santos. I don't know of any interest.}

 

 

 

 


10 Feb 2011 17:25:54
Ed do you think there is any chance we get Jack Rodwell in the summer? Do you think we'll go for young English talent like Gibbs, Richards, Henderson, etc. as well?

10 Feb 2011 17:33:07

10 Feb 2011 16:49:54
HI ED i see the young suso as a jack wilshere type of player he looks to me to be able to play a great array of passes long short defence splitting ones in our new formation under king k a 4-3-3 that he is introducing i see suso in gerrards role or meireles role joining the attack like steve mcmahon did and houghton i don't see the young lad playing behind the strikers or upfront at all as he does not have the physical precence or pace to play there he is a vision player he needs to lie deeper in order to feed the attackers its like gerrard when he first come into the first team he played at right back then central midfield he is never a off the striker type player because he likes to see the field of play to much he likes to give assists rather than be on the end of them he looks far more comfortable in his deeper role now under kk the same applies to suso.my other concern is that i do not think pacheco has what it takes to become a great player because his passing is limited he is not the fastest of players and just does'nt have that special something suso has which is a quick footballing brain i think he will leave for a spainish club in the summer personally if u have not made it yet i don't think he will ever at our club he does not have desire or he certainly would have pushed kuyt or rodriguez for a spot in the first team because they did not play that much at the first half of the season due to injuries to themselves and he did not cover himself in glory in the northampton game neither so for me he should be sold but there is no doubt he has potential but not in this league.

Like a lot of people on here, I was very impressed with Christian Eriksen's performance vs England last night. It seems his position is off the strikers - a position that Suarez, Meireles, Gerrard, Shelvey, Pacheco and Suso can play. We have a lot of players who can play that role at present, so just wondered whether he plays that role for Ajax, and has he played in any other positions.
He looks a cracking player, but is he what we need at the moment? Considering the options we already have in that position

Offcourse we need him, hes only 19 and his resale value would be off the charts if liverpool where to sell him later on . . His crosses are amazing and hes just 19. i would say a 30-40Mil player in the future. .
But actually i would just want him for our team though . he would add alot.

Ed I don't think we will have to compete with arsenal over the signing of Erikssen as I am sure they will get Hazard. However while I like Erikssen I would rather we targeted Pjanic. I have also been banging the drum for Dejan Lovren as I think the lad is a brilliant centre half. Do you agree with me about Pjanic and do any of the Ed's have know anything about Lovren {ed's note - not seen a lot of Pjanic to be honest, nor heard anyone else rave about him or rate him particularly sorry. As for Lovren, I have heard great things about him, I can't say I know anything of him other than that though.}

Personally im a massive fan of suso , i think he has the potential to be a world class talent , up there with messi ronaldo etc he just looks like that sort of player that can change a game in an instant , im not saying he will be at liverpool his whole career he might stay here till he is about 24 , win trophies and become a world class talent and then he might wanna move back to his home country to either barca or real.

Suso turned 17 in November. He needs to bulk up a little. I don't need to hear about Rooney, Owen and Wiltshire played at 16 and 17 in the 1st team. Suso is special and the longer we can keep developing him, the less chance he has of breaking down by the time he is 26 or 27. Even Cesc is very injury prone. the EPL is very fast and very physical so a player like him should be introduced slowly and steadily over the next 18 months. He will be a superstar and I think that under the watch of KK and Clarkey his development will be very scripted and planned. it I was a betting man I'd bet Rooney will be a washed up by the time he's 30-31. Just my opinion.

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 15:28:44
"The real reason he came to join us was that we were able to offer him a lot bigger contract at the age of 16 than the big Spanish clubs are allowed to do.
We all know how much Fabregas loves Barca yet he chose to go to Arsenal when he was 16.
If Suso develops into a star it will be great but don't expect him to be with us for more than a few years until one of the Spanish giants come calling.
If the coaching staff rate him as highly as the Ed and others do why isn't he already appearing on the bench? Owen, Fowler, Rooney, and Fabregas were making regular 1st team appearances at his age.
It is also begining to look increasingly unlikely that Pacheco will make it at Liverpool. He is 20 now and Kenny isn't showing any more inclination to play him than Roy or Rafa did.
There seems to be an unwillingness to trust youngsters in the 1st team unless they are big and strong and have some defensive qualities e.g. Kelly and Shelvey.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wisdom and Coady break through before Suso does.

Harry J"

I see your point, but i think firstly a lot of people are jumping on the idea of the Spanish contingent leaving based purely on Torres' departure. I don't see any indication that would make me guess one way or another how long Suso may be with us. Secondly, the reason he (and Pacheco as well as many other youngsters) is not making the bench is because of the lack of cup games. Most sides use the early stages of tournaments, as well as the ties they are able to lose, to blood their youngsters, unfortunately Dalglish doesn't have this option and given that every game right now in the league is a must win i think it's understandable why they're not breaking through in the same manner Owen and Fowler did. Having said that, Suso is still only around the same age as the aforementioned pair when they made their debuts and there is an argument that Suso may not yet be as versed in the physicality of the English game.

I'm as disappointed as anyone that Pacheco hasn't made it through this season, but circumstances have hardly been conducive to his progression and i really don't think we can equate his position in any way to Suso's.

Ed - is Steve Parker a journlaist? I read his Madness stuff and it's good but reads like he's a pro writer. Is he connected with a club or newspaper? {ed's note - I have no idea, but his support of a certain piece of filth rag would suggest he is employed by News International to me.}

"If Suso develops into a star it will be great but don't expect him to be with us for more than a few years until one of the Spanish giants come calling.
If the coaching staff rate him as highly as the Ed and others do why isn't he already appearing on the bench? Owen, Fowler, Rooney, and Fabregas were making regular 1st team appearances at his age"


As soon as i saw this i knew i had to comment , right firstly i wanna say suso is comitted to liverpool if you took the time and had a look on lfc.tv and looked on susos profile it says the following :

"I feel very happy. I want to be here a lot of years. I want to go on and play for Liverpool's first team, playing in every game, " he said.

Sounds comitted to me , secondly the coaching staff do rate him highly he has just been given a first team squad number ( 30 ) so if they don't rate him why has he been given a squad number then? kenny has given squad numbers to two of our brightest stars sterling and suso. also suso is still very young only turned 17 in november , and the reason why i don't think he is in the first team just yet is because the premier league is very physical and he is still a young lad , kenny will give him time and gradually bring him into the squad.

personally im a massive fan of suso , i think he has the potential to be a world class talent , up there with messi ronaldo etc he just looks like that sort of player that can change a game in an instant , im not saying he will be at liverpool his whole career he might stay here till he is about 24 , win trophies and become a world class talent and then he might wanna move back to his home country to either barca or real.

A few points here. The majority of the players in the England under 19 team are only 17.
The best English 17 year olds like Oxlade - Chamberlain and Maceachran are already in the England under 21 squad.
None of these players will figure in our first team this season. Pacheco and Wilson can't even get a game yet.
Ince has already said he is off in the summer if we don't offer him a substantial new contract and if Suso proves to be the real deal I'm sure he would be off to Barca or Real like a shot. Loyalty doesn't exist in football at any age!
Sorry if this appears negative but it is realistic.

Sorry to differ mate but Suso already rejected Barcelona to join us and work with Rudolfo, In fact Suso WAS wanted by every team worth mentioning but chose US, This lad aint some knobody making a name for himself, He's far and away the most promising prospect in Europe, Eds do you agree with this assesment.

UCCM {ed's note - I think he is more of a prospect than Fowler was at his age, Fowler was the best I had ever seen until I saw him play. He has that little something special. I can see why he had the pick of teams across Europe.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I 100% agree UCCM mate. Suso is the best young player i've seen play for us, at youth or reserve level. I'm really glad that Kenny promoted him to the 1st team squad, as for me this kid is a special talent.

UCCM {ed's note - I think he is more of a prospect than Fowler was at his age, Fowler was the best I had ever seen until I saw him play. He has that little something special. I can see why he had the pick of teams across Europe.}

The real reason he came to join us was that we were able to offer him a lot bigger contract at the age of 16 than the big Spanish clubs are allowed to do.
We all know how much Fabregas loves Barca yet he chose to go to Arsenal when he was 16.
If Suso develops into a star it will be great but don't expect him to be with us for more than a few years until one of the Spanish giants come calling.
If the coaching staff rate him as highly as the Ed and others do why isn't he already appearing on the bench? Owen, Fowler, Rooney, and Fabregas were making regular 1st team appearances at his age.
It is also begining to look increasingly unlikely that Pacheco will make it at Liverpool. He is 20 now and Kenny isn't showing any more inclination to play him than Roy or Rafa did.
There seems to be an unwillingness to trust youngsters in the 1st team unless they are big and strong and have some defensive qualities e.g. Kelly and Shelvey.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wisdom and Coady break through before Suso does.

Just wondering looking at carra, although rippin it up vs chels, where do u see him in 4 - 5 years? coaching position? that goes for stevie also?

i think gerrard cud be around for the next 6 or 7 years, as his pace fades he'll be used in a deeper position an to help olong the progression of young shelvey

u think so ed ?

{Editor Note: Gerrard intends on being here for another 5 years or so. But I'd prefer we used him less and less as he got older, like Scholes at Man Utd, and brought through one of the young players.}

I heard a rumour that Everton are being bought out and are looking at building a new stadium on Stanley park (as we will stay at Anfield). Surely we can not let this happen.

What do you think ED?

Jus watched an interview with j w henery an i hav to say im impressed with what i heard, the way he spoke about us the fans, kenny, the team, the future, im very impressed about how much he has learned about the game.

hes american which we've had trouble with in the past, but what i get from him is he is a winner an knos how to win in the sports industry, he said the what appealed to him was having the greatest club in the biggest sport in the world

he was talking about the " curse " in boston that lasted 80 odd years an wen asked about breaking are title duck he replied " it gives me goose bumps thinkin about it " now if that'd come outta the mouth of that fat texan id probably launched me brew at the computer but i really believe he is talking truth

Ed i was wondering do you think the attitude of glen johnson has changed since the arival of KK and SC? .Id heard in the past he was a bit cocky and disliked , but he seems to be more a team player now.

{Editor Note: The attitude of everyone seems to have changed. Everyone wants to play for the manager now, everyone is more confident and they seem interested. Although I didn't like Johnson's attitude, for him to play out of position in every game since Kenny has came, and not complain and say he'd play anywhere is a very good sign.}

Also if he stays untill say 25 year old, Think of the transfer fee we'd be asking for him, Practically what Barcelona would be asking for Messi now.

Also to Harry J:

You said Liverpool's young English kids arn't the most talented 17 year old's, But Steven Gerrard was not the most talented kid at 17, He came into his own as a professional.

Just read Kenny's comments about our youngsters printed in the Chester Chronicle which is extremely promising for our future. Kenny has said that he will have no hesitation in calling on talented teenagers like Conor Coady, Jack Robinson and Tom Ince should his side require their services from the bench this season. Coady at the age of 17 last night captained England U-19s! !. Ince and Robinson who is also 17 year old also played. Cody and Robinson are playing international football at a level a year above their age. They are tremendous prospects.
Kenny is also quoted as saying that they and other academy starlets have progressed so well in the past 12 months they are ready to make the next step up and help cover in the event of injuries to Anfield's more established stars. Kenny is also said to be impressed by the progress being made by the likes of John Flanagan, Jesus (Suso) Fernandez and Raheem Sterling,
He believes Liverpool's youngsters have improved to such an extent it has quickly elevated them to the level required for standby Premiership action. In Kenny's words "I've seen and know these boys for a good while now and their progress has been really pleasing. This is a truly great news for our future. We have 6 or 7 young up and coming quality players who will be a great asset to our squad for many many years to come. Kenny is the perfect manager who will introduce them at the right time to our first team. These players will be 100% committed to the cause. They will not have any thoughts whatsoever about playing for Chelsea, Barcelona, Madrid or Manure and the like. How very refreshing. The future is looking very bright. Reality Red

maxi couldnt possibly be in any long term plans?

Ed's note it's not often i disagree with you but i'll have to put the Ashley Young to Liverpool in a positive spin.

It clearly depends on the price but £15M and i'd take a punt. I think he's gone flat at the Villa and that is reflected in his performances over the last 6-9 months.

A move to a 'big' club may rejuvenate him. When he first joined Villa he was extremely lively and at his age and stage of his career he really should have kicked on from that promising start.

He is, despite this current malaise in his form, a rare breed, a winger who can get past defenders both from the right and left flanks. He is particularly dangerous on the left hand side as he can jink inside and wip in dangerous crosses from a good angle.

The one issue and i blame O'Neill and the coaching staff. His crossing is very, very predictable. He, in my opinion, has been asked to hit low, flat wipped crosses into the box for the likes of Carew, Heskey to flick on rather than float them up.

The problem with this style of crossing is that there is an extremely large margin of error and a very small area of success. Therefore the majority of his crosses fail to either beat the first man or he overcompansates and overhits the cross past the far post.

I think it needs someone to get hold of Young by the scruff of the neck and re-teach him the wonders of wing play, with Carroll now in the squad, the need to get at and past the full back and hang the cross up rather than drill it in would pay greater dividends.

Being young (excuse the pun) and English there is a premium to pay. But he has a wonderful ability of being able to get past a full back, it's just that Villa have wasted this ability and have not taken full advantage.

The same was said about John Barnes prior to his arrival and look how he re-invented the term 'winger'. I wonder who the manager was then?

Food for thought.

Hey ed, out of curiosity do you know which other teams we would be going up against if we were to show serious interest and bid for the Eriksen (sp) kid in the summer?

DownUnderRed.

{Editor's Note: Most of the more successful English sides, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have declared an interest as have a number of sides across Europe. I would guess that if and when he leaves GErmany may well be his desination - possibly even Bayern Munich). If he were to move to England, I expect Arsenal would have the edge over the other clubs.}

"The Madness of King Roy XXV"

There are a few posters with less than amusing names on here who have been posting nonsense and base criticism about Pepe Reina - leaving or not leaving?
The reality is that despite their protestations, the man will leave when he wants and as long as we achieve our transfer target fee, he can go. Having lost one star and replaced him with two players, I am sure we can move on without Reina. I would prefer him to stay, but then again, I never wanted Rush to leave theseason he wandered off to Juventus. We always recover from such moves.

Just a few musing this morning, not all of them entirely related to our current resurgence:

* talkSPORT employing Keys and Gray. This seems to have shunted Mike Parry out of that timeslot. No bad thing in some ways, but I don't believe their onscreen banter will translate to exciting radio. I give it a few months before it's into the departure lounge again. Rather tacky of talkSPORT to grab these two for the initial shock value. As I write, I wonder if they are being trained to talk in the station's famous manner to callers - "Quickly, quickly, what do you want to say? We've got a lot of calls to get through, quickly, quickly!"

* Erikssen: the young player looked exciting last night. His fee has risen recently and I hope Damien Comoli is as fast on the draw as he has been recently.

* Steve Clarke: already seems to have helped us in the defensive aspect of our game. I suspect he has been offered (and accepted) his deal already. Good news methinks.

* Redknapp: I may late up to the plate, but I have just seen the abuse from 'arry "Good old Cockney boy" Redknapp on YouTube. When it was suggested by a SKY reporter that he was 'wheeler-dealer' he went potty and told the man to h**k off and stropped off. I think you protest too much 'arry. Anyway, I for one am heartily sick of your 'good ol' Harry Redknapp Comedy Cockney Cartoon act.

* Wilshire: strange mouth the kid has! Besides that nonsense, he seemed overawed last night. The hype is so over the top and in Hansen's words, "sensationally brilliant and utterly amazing" . . really pundits?

* Pundits: why? Frank Stapleton on ESPN last night - didn't say or offer anything myself nor my friends in the wine bar and club haven't offered up to each other. STOP this elevation of ex-players to radio and TV. They offer virtually nothing to us fans and are as interesting and informative as Ronnie Irani on talkSPORT!

* POULSEN: looked a fair player for Denmark last night, even when he hacked down Glen Johnson! Not a world beater, but maybe Steve Clarke and Kenny can get something more from him?

* NESV: full credit to them! Quiet, working in the background and already legally standing up to a deluded Tom Hicks.

{Editor's Note: NESV are not legally standing up, they are simply covering their butts.}

Lucas played well for Brazil last night. Constant running and covering, and all his passing was crisp and precise, as well as covering for one less man in the midfield (Hernanes expulsion). If he continues to play like this next season, he deserves his place in the starting 11.

ra1969


lucas took his time but is turning into a class act, he wasnt bought as a holding midfielder by rafa but has adjusted his game, which has turned him into a regular for brazil and us, he doesn't bitch or moan he jus gets on with his job, wen u listen to him in interviews he sounds like a genuine, well rounded young man, hes had a lot of critism in the past an jus got his head down an grafted , if he continues like this he's my pick for lfc's player of the year

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 11:50:36
The next 2 games are excellent for a starting berth for little luis, an probably to get some more goals, wigan an west ham are teams we shud breeze past in are current form, maybe try out a start for shelvey an pacheco aswel

Let pepe go for 20 mil, if he doesent want to be here then fine! Go for Alan Mcgregor. get him for about 5 mil!

 

 

 

 


10 Feb 2011 10:15:32

Kieran Gibbs to be targeted for the summer! !

Id take him and £18million for Reina if he must go

rather sell him to Arsenal then the mancs! !

thats a good deal then sign begovic for 10 million from stoke, and get this ajax kid eriksen, he was fantastic last night, although i could see him at arsenal as a replacement for cesc

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 10:16:32
ERIKSON WAS CLASS LASTNIGHT.
HE IS WHAT NESV AND US WANT, HE IS YOUNG AND THERE RISKS HE WAS BORN IN DENMARK PLAYING FOR AJAX, HE IS USED TO THE ENGLISH WEATHER.
THERE WILL BE A PRICE TO PAY, THIS KID IS THE REAL DEAL WE SHOULD GET HIM IN SUMMER.
US NOT WINING THE LEAGUE FOR 20 YEARS IS BECAUSE WE WERE NOT BUYING THE NEXT GENERATION OF TALENT.
WITH KK IN CHARGE I THINK WE WILL, NEXT SEASON WE WILL BE IN THE TOP 4(MAYBE THIS YEAR LETS HOPE), AND THE SEASON AFTER WE WILL WIN IT.
AND WE HAVE SOME TALENTED YOUGHSTERS AROUND.
KELLY HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING THIS YEAR.

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 10:19:13
Honestly i believe if pepe leaves it will be barcelona who ign him, i can't see him going to utd or arsenal.
price 20 million
id be happy to replace him with begovic for about 12 million
begovic is having a superb season he has a better command of his area than pepe , he is stronger under the high ball tha pepe, his sweeping qualities and distribitution may not be as good but he is almost as good a shot stopper as pepe. i d be delighted if we brought in begovic as our new keeper

 

 

 

 

10 Feb 2011 10:15:17
I think Pepe will stay I know for a fact KK will never sell to manure he knows what the clubs about an lives it so I would put my house on it pepe will stay if not he'll go bk home remember the name. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . scouse not Irish

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

so to sum up you think Pepe might stay but if not might leave. . . . . . . ., covered all bases then hey.

- -Summer spending will not be high but it is going to be effective.
we will see players not utilized currently Aquillani £7 left, poulsen £3, insua £4, jovanovic£5, ngog£5, maxi£3, cole £5mil, spearing £3 sold for £35 mil total.

miccmak- -

Micmak, mate, I think you have undervalued some of our players. Poulsen, I agree £3 is appropriate. Jova for £5, yes.

But Insua, Cole, Spearing, Maxi and certainly Ngog are worth more.

Don't you think? I can't really put a price on them, but I believe they are worth more.

Heard from an inside source that Liverpool are going back to Ajax and Newcastle in the summer for the signings of Christian Eriksen and Jose Enrique respectively. My source couldn't confirm the fees but confident that both deals have literally been agreed and only the negotiations with the players needs to be done.

Christian Eriksen would be ideal for us not to sure about Enrique though?

So the players are going to play for the rest of the season knowing they are going to move on in the summer, with zero motivation and since you do the medical to complete the transfer are their teams going to risk them getting injured and losing out on the transfer fee. .

At the moment the only transfer activity is scouting of players and obviously school boy transfers.

{Editor's Note: There is a lot of activity taking place, but I agree that there appears to be none at present in terms of Liverpool and these players - certainly not Eriksen.}

Morning, just seen on BBC website that H&G (laurel and hardy!) are trying to lift orders about seeking damages from NESV. I thought we hadn't heard the last from those two. Any chances that they could be succesful in this?

{Editor's Note: Yes, but it will have no impact on Liverpool - it is RBS they are really after.}

sorry Hufton Turfton, i couldnt resist the temptation of spreading the rumour of a rumour that is rumoured to be a rumour.
i won't say another word on the rumour.

*************

Hey I heard a rumour too, do you think it may be the same rumour you heard?

*******************

Right 100% true that I have heard a rumour, the rumour is not 100% true but it is a rumour, this I am sure of. If I hear any more I will update you, but not till I am 100% sure about the rumour. Would hate to spread lies!

Long live the King (Kenny).

*****

there must be some truth to these rumours as i keep hearing people saying about these rumours. no smoke without fire. i for one, think that there are more to these rumours than just rumours, that's just me though - its not 100%, just a rumour.
watch this space guys - expect news on these rumours soon.

If, and I say if Reina does want to leave, we shall honour him and let him leave.

What about Hennesy from Wolves, wouldn't cost that much and the money could be used for a cantral defender? Again 1 goes, 2 class acts in?

Noo noo not at all. .its not just abt champ league. . .that torres left us. .yes im angree at him. .

and also the way raina has saying. . why he is talking abt leaving us or being committed to us . i know its too soon but y would he talk if there is no problem. . .we never see such comments abt kyut, lucas carra, raul. .

if u notice spanish players of our team, both torres raina, also notice arsenal's fabregas also wanting to go

its bcoz their Spain teammates success. . all zavi, iniesta .villa all they think r in dream phase . .of football with barca and world cup success that's y they feel like not being big enough like their mates

Summer spending will not be high but it is going to be effective.
we will see players not utilized currently Aquillani £7 left, poulsen £3, insua £4, jovanovic£5, ngog£5, maxi£3, cole £5mil, spearing £3 sold for £35 mil total.

players coming will be
Taiwo-free if not available cissokho £12mil for LB
young-£14mil as a RW
Adam-£10mil
contrao-£18mil as a left winger
Total £42-£54mil- - -£7-£20mil extra . not bad for the owners over two transfer periods on their first season.
we are getting rid of 8 players and replacing them with 4 players. great in balancing the wage bill and gives younger lads a chance to surge into first team.

Hi Editor i am the guy who posted the prediction table picture. and when i was playing with the form under the table i saw this quote "*Champions League and Uefa Cup qualification places could change if English teams win European trophies this season"

does this mean 5th spot club will pass for champions league football if an english team wins the competition?
miccmak

{Editor's Note: No, it will only have an impact if a team fourth or lower win it, in which case only the top three will qualify. So if we take the current table as the final table (for example), and Spurs win the Champion's League, Chelsea will miss out.}

With all this talk of Pepe leaving I think if he wants to go he can we want commited players to the liverbird. I personally would go for someone like the German Keeper Neuer he is quality and is available for £15 million.

Lucas played well for Brazil last night. Constant running and covering, and all his passing was crisp and precise, as well as covering for one less man in the midfield (Hernanes expulsion). If he continues to play like this next season, he deserves his place in the starting 11.

Good morning Ed's and wishful thinkers.
Good players may come and good players may go.
The only thing that you can set in stone right now as Liverpool supporters is that. .
AS LONG AS KENNY IS THE MANAGER OF LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB. . WE WILL BE OKAY. .
Unbelievable? BELIEVE IT! !

I don't think this 3 man defense is a short term thing from Kenny. I kind of think that before he became manager he was thinking this up in his head. I think in the summer we will sign 2 wingers, a midfielder and a central defender. For instance: Ashley Young, Eden Hazard, Charlie Adam, Gary Cahill. Then next season the team would essentially be:

- - - - - - Reina- - - - - -
- -Cahill- -Carragher- -Agger-
Young- Gerrard- Lucas- Hazard
- - - - Suarez- Meireles- - - -
- - - - - -Carroll- - - - - - - -

Adam would provide quality cover for Gerrard, Lucas or Meireles (if Meireles is out Gerrard would move up to his position and Adam slide into Gerrards). Kuyt could cover for Suarez or Carroll. We could have 2 natural fullbacks to come in for Young and/ or Hazard if playing a team with especially dangerous wingers.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I like this, but I don't see the need for spending on another CB. A back 3 of Kelly, Carra and Agger is great, with Skrtel providing cover for a year or two until Ayala and Wilson are ready to play on the first team.

Ed this Eriksen would cost a few quid would he? He was ther best player on that pitch for me tonight and he's still 18.

Spriggo {ed's note - he certainly would, Ajax want to hold onto him and sell him in a few year's time, so he won't be cheap.}

Agger do do do hes the the best defender in the league,
25 yarder if you please, with his left with his right at the back he keeps it tight, agger do do do.
