I agree mate he would be a good squad player. But we have to many squad players. And the players that NESV are looking for are young, very good potentional, sell shirts and said should be value for money. For me Charlie Adam dosn't fit that criteria.

Just how old do you think Charlie Adam is? Guess
without googling it! {ed's note - I did think the same thing Morty, he is fairly young isn't he?}

{ed's note - doesn't take much to mark a lazy mard apse out of a game mate, Stevie is far too fond of sulking of late, it wouldn't take much to mark him out of a game. Muamba is not good enough in my opinion.}

Are you the man u ed? just thought I would check. . .ha ha. . . Gerrard always takes 2-3 games to get going after injury. . we will have to disagree about muamba! its all about opinions. .

RE: Charlie Adam

If he is worth 2.5m. Then he might be a bargin buy. But i would rather have someone like Scot parker, he was great tonight. did a job.

Lets face it, westham are going are going down. traditionally teams bottom come december are out of it. They will need to sell him anyway come the end of the season.

Its not looking good for the Suarez deal. He is likely to join Spurs bacause he wants to live in London.

Liverpool will have to settle for players that are in less demand until they re-establish themselves as Champions league contenders.

Turan and SWP would provide width on the wings.

Scott Dann would be a good buy for defence.

Insua could be given the left back position.

Banega to strengthen defensive midfield.

Tiovonin to partner Torres.

Liverpool Rumours
From what i have heard is that adebayour is going to sign on loan however there are certain delays at the moment due to the injury prone balotelli but the hard facts is that his agent has said that he is unwilling to be never considered for first team unless injury and he believes he could really state a name and good partnership playing for kenny and with torres. The other first team signing will be Shaun Wright Phillips for a fee in the region of 5 Million. There is a out side possibilty for a late move for either turan or elia. The rest will be investment into the youth with conor wickham and two southampton youths being looked at along with Lukaku pre contract deal set up for Summer move when Adebayour goes back to city. Expect to see Suso and Pacheco and shelvey and spearing break into the team under Kenny he has been working with them in his former role and feels Roy played them out of position and stopped them progressing. Poulsen has been pushed down the pecking order along along with Milan J and even Kuyt as he doesn't play the football style Kenny likes.

Liverpool step up their pursuit of Southampton's £10m-rated starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlai

Liverpool are ready to step up their pursuit of Southampton's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after Manchester United joined the race to sign him.

Liverpool's director of football strategy Damien Comolli watched the 17-year-old score against Oldham last night in the Saints' 6-0 drubbing at Boundary Park - but was joined in the stands by United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Southampton rate Chamberlain in the £10million bracket and Liverpool have watched him extensively over recent weeks.

Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal have also expressed interest.

4 deals that need to happen in January 2011.

Fabio Coentrao: £14m - £17m DL 22 Benfica

Ashley Young: £14m - £17m AMRL 25 Aston Villa

Romelu Lukaku: £17m - £20m ST 17 Anderlecht

Yann M'Vila: £14m - £17m DM 20 Rennes

Sadly I think only one will go through. Coentrao!

Agree or Disagree?

You do know that Hodgson's been sacked don't you?

Blair Mayne YNWA

PS. West Ham must be gutted? They thought they were getting 12 mill for Carlton Cole. .

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I don't understand what people have against Charlie Adam. Why wouldn't we want a player with a passing range like Xabi Alonso, a work rate like Mascherano & takes games by the scruff of the neck when the team is not performing just like Gerrard?

He'd be brilliant in the centre of Liverpool's midfield. I think he'd be the type of player Kenny would want in his squad too. .especially if he's going for 4-5million.

I agree mate he would be a good squad player. But we have to many squad players. And the players that NESV are looking for are young, very good potentional, sell shirts and said should be value for money. For me Charlie Adam dosn't fit that criteria.

If Hodgson was still here he would be looking at this kind of signing, along with Carlton Cole. .

Blair Mayne YNWA
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ok, true enough that he won't shift shirts or be a very good promotional target. .but he's only 25. .although he looks 40!

I can see the points against the signing, but my argument would be this; Along with being a very talented player, if Liverpool are going back to a more Rafa formation under Kenny (as the Man Utd match would suggest), that formation thrived under the midfield partnership of Gerrard-Mascherano-Alonso. In my opinion a partnership of Gerrard-Meireles-Adam would bring a much similar result.

Adam has shown he has everything needed to play in the Premiership. Surround him with better players and he will blossom into a real star. I'd say he grew up dreaming of being Kenny Dalglish & Kenny would get every bit of the talent that he has out of him.

I suppose another aspect of it that annoys me is that people like to suggest names like Lass Diarra as being the missing piece of our midfield. Adam offers a lot more that these types of players.

I can see why he could be a risky signing. But, considering the above & our current position in the league, I think Adam would show that he's not a squad player and for 4 million or so he would be a bargain. Ideally I'd like Kaka, but Adam is quality at a cheap price.

I would love these players in jan. . if possible. . Connor Wickham and Alex chamberlain as youngsters for the future. . Sanchez and Turan. . . These two would completely change us overnight. . . I would go for suarez up front. . I can't stand the cheat but he is good and I think would compliment torres well. A suprise choice of Fabrice Muamba for centre mid. . Gerrard himself said that he marked him out of a game against bolton a year or so ago. .(that'll do me) and he can play as well and my choice for left back would be anyone who's half decent! your thoughts ed

I may be wrong and i have only seen a little bit of both but i would prefer to see suso playing some football in the first team over shelvy obv both should be getting nurtured but out of the 2 i would chose suso from what i have seen btw has anyone got a link to see the reserve team todays game highlights apparently pacheco scored a good goal (on a sepperate note he should partner torres) and suso was a star player today. can anyone who has seen the youth team and reserve team play regularly comment on the young talent we have i am already aware of sterling and suso what are they really like and who else is there that looks real quality ed if you know anything please pass it on. redchris {ed's note - Sterling and Suso are top class youngsters with loads of potential.

RE: r liverpool really that strapped for cash.

Blackpool - Charlie Adam has emerged as a cheap transfer target for Liverpool - and could be available from just £2.5m in January.

"We buy any car.com" those players can donate the flash wheels for the transferkitty. Or Cash4Gold. Im sure their must be some unwanted gold laying around in board-members homes.

I was made up when I heard an Anfield legend was returning to the hElm.

But my hopes were dashed IM GUTTED.

Since Rafa walked out on Inter due to them refusing to let him strengthen the squad I was sure Rafa would ride to our rescue palm leaves spread for his glourious return.

Rafa shud be the gaffer backed with money to spend Rafa could deliver our dreams.

I cannot be happy about Kenny while the real hero is left in the wilderness

IN RAFA WE TRUST

Evening all. . . Ed do you sense a massive load of negativity in the press towards torres and the appointment of the king. . . Its doing my head in!
the torres one especially. . what the hell has this lad done to be riddiculed by our media in the way that he is. . Yes he is having a "barren run" by his high standards but come on. . no-one has mentioned rooney, drogba being out of form. . the lad conducts himself in the right way off the pitch. never in trouble. . he has won the world cup and the european championship and yet our media was riddiculing him today by saying that sergio torres from crawley town is better! It can't all be down to our league position can it?

Despite all the rubbish rumours in the tabloids and bad websites, I think we can all sleep safe that we ain't going to sign the likes of Huth and C Cole!
I genuinely don't see players of that caliber coming in under Kenny and Comolli.
I personally think we may sign a striker this window but i don't expect anyone will know who or when until its announced! NESV are very quiet in their dealings and i like that. YNWA

Liverpool will not be signing any players in the January window. Dalglish thinks he can get the best out of what he's got plus more game time for the likes of Pacheco, Wilson, Kelly & Amoo. We might even have Sterling, Ngoo & Suso on the bench before the season is out.

In short forget Elia, Wolfswinkel, Suarez etc will not be signing.

there will be players coming, everyone in the world knows we need a striker, and a winger, players are available, and good ones, you really think with all these players who want out of there teams now liverpool are gunna miss out on the opportunities knowing they need a striker and winger, i doubt it, and they won't be panic buying cos they already have an idea of what they want, just because it doesn't say in the press we have bid for players doesn't mean we havent bid for anyone or not in talks with teams and players right now, cos the clubs rnt talking to the press untill the deal is done, negotiations take a while, players stall on wages and signing on fee's and so on clubs want the time to barter with players on wages and so on, they got till end of january to get the best possible price and best possible wages, have faith plenty of time yet

The press are telling us kenny past it , out of touch , to long out the game. well i remember watching kenny dalglish as a player and a manager and i tell our younger supporters he has a football brain. he won the double and then sold rushie brought in barnes aldo and beardsley and i can tell you and hopefully some of our older fans will tell you the football was sublime

Fully agree, that was back in the 1987-88 season where the triumverate of Barnes, Beardsley & Aldrige worked together beautifully. If Kenny can get another trio of Torres, Gerrard & future world class signing Striker/ Forward/ Attacking Midfielder, then I can see them scoring lots of goals.

Has anyone else thought about Seb Larsson? Not a bad little player, great delivery and not just tonight, he seems pretty consistent.
. .he may be going to Newcastle for £1M! !
That has got to be a shout for our left wing even just for the rest of the season. He's better than any of our current 'wingers'. And maybe with better players around him he could develop into a decent player, he's young as well.
I know he may not immediately appear a LFC standard player but for the money as a filler he could offer us something different for 1m
Joycie {ed's note - he is a below average RIGHT winger who offers nothing.}

Its no good waiting till the last minute to panic buy for a bargain we ought to be buying now with all the games up and coming. Av got a feeling we will not be buying anyone myself, reason been Comoli has been at the club for three months now and this so called list of talent that he has drawn up must be finished by now or what's the point in having him at the club?

his job is meant to be finding talent and signing it i doubt the owners would of hired and payed him for 3 months and not let him buy players in january. or they may as well of hired him in febuary, save his wages and get ready for the summer window.
he has done this job for a number of years with various clubs so he must have a good idea of the players he likes and wants to sign.
the only player that has moved in jan that stands out so far is dzeko and that is because he snapped citys hands off to get his hands on them wages. we just need to be patient because historicaly players move in the last week of this window, and roy and commolli have said if players are signed it will be near the end of the window. this wait is killing me as well so your not alone. i seriously doubt the new owners will not bring in at least 1 major signing tho. more than likely a forward

roy said it. just cos kenny is now there don't mean the signings will be made any sooner.

Its time to buy Scot Parker

Westham on the way out of the premiership. He wants out, we need it. Good work rate.

Would take Samba from blackburn. A stronger CBK would change the team.

I would buy Ashly Young, We need him, it would be better if he came to us, instead of utd.

A little outlay and the team can start climbing the table
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I wouldn't have any of them. Parker is getting on, he's 30 now or something and despite the fact that he is a good player, he's only going to decline now in ability and price.

Samba is a rock, but more of a mid-table player. He likes the long ball, get it up to Benjani to nod it down, no thank you.

Ashley Young is pure and simple a ball-greedy idiot who thinks he's bigger than Villa and better than every player out there. He is more likely to score from a daft angle than cross it in for Agbonlahor. Would not have him anywhere near our club, he'd ruin it.

With regards the press going on about Kenny being passed it.

He wasn't my first choice, but by god. . the new found optimism is worth it, and I actually think he can still do the job.

Like we say about players. Class is permanent form is temporary, and the King just oozes class, every word he's said that has been reported has been positive, backing players, defending players, backing the team and the "this is about Liverpool not about me. " The man Loves the club and fans as much as we love the club and him! This will rub off on the players. That in itself has probably gained us andextra few places up the league table.

Long Live the King. YNWA

I believe he is being charged by the FA for posting suggestive pictures (H. Webb dressed up in improper attire). The lad should be ashamed of himself for having such twisted fatasies. Sick I say.

nice one babel, , and as for the fa they shouldnt have any say in it, he did it on his own personal twitter page, in his own personal time, , fa r useless they need to investigate ref's, referees in football r destroying this beautiful sport, and they say they have a tough job only cos they make it tough for themselves, they change rules, make new ones as they go along, the offside rule my god that's been changed so many times its unbelievable, don't thin anyone knows that rule anymore lol

I'd like to chuck in a few alternative signings for this window:

Barry Ferguson - he made the most successful passes last season in the prem and is doing well again this. If we could secure him for £5m it would be worth a punt

Corluka in a swap for Johnson - Harry loves Glen, Corluka is a top quality defender, everyone wins

David Murphy of Brum - solid, dependable left back

Chris Brunt - left winger, great crosser, WBA may ask too much though, again 5m would be a decent punt

Zhirkov of Chelsea - possibly struggles to get a game and could do a good job at LB or LW, at 10m would be a good signing

Lescott of City - He may be on too high a wage, so loan may be an option, but got to be better than Skirtel at the moment

Can't wait for pre-season as I think it could be massive for us, getting rid of a lot of deadwood, promoting some younger players and buying some good players worthy of playing for lfc

Pablo {ed's note - all of those would be more deadwood! Only Brunt is even close to being good enough.}

I think we'll defo sign a striker we have to. Who that will be no one knows (which is the best way). NESV did say they wouldn't be spending much if any money this transfer window. They said they will re-evaluate the situation in the summer (spend money) so i wouldn't be supprised if we didn't sign anyone, except a striker.

I would promote some youngsters i'e Pacheco and Ammo and give them more games. And would've been playing Kelly or Mavinga at LB weeks ago. Maybe bring in Wilson if Skrtel or Agger get injured which i think Kenny will.

Nesv

1- bought the club for £288m
2- Damien Comolli - Director of football
3- Sacked Roy Hodgson
4- Appointed Kenny Dalglish
5- Appointed Steve Clark no2
6- lfc have 25 points. should be safe this season

the pieces are coming together. shouldnt be too dispointed by no transfers in janurary

I would rather see Dalgish sign up for 4 years + Steve Clark.

This is not an overnight fix. it could take 3 years to get back into C/ L. The management team seems to be getting stronger. That can only be a good thing.

I would rater have stability. And even if Kenny only manages to keep us in the premiership this year. He should still be in charge. The rebuilding job will take a long time.

Even if no one comes in. in this transfer window.Everything is perfect there. I wish KENNY immportality and as LFC manager through and through. Only heard of the king but saw him in action on FA cup 3rd round sunday. Man he can inspire the team. Our players r good but short of confidence. He can back a player in a press conference so no more wine sharing and all. We love him and it would be a different ANFIELD from now on for visitors with 43000 behind the team. Everything is good off the field, it is upto the players now to save the season by proving on the field that they are committed to the club and not only in press conference statements. Finally, we are only 11 points behind spurs with a game in hand and against them at ANFIELD, so we can qualify for UCL even this season. Arsenal are famus for dropping points in MARCH and APRIL and Chelsea is over in my opinion. They are old and sold. It is our time, wake up reds.
Lets fight it hard on the pitch.

As for a rumor, RVW is finalized and will be announced at ANFIELD this weekend. Not a day earlier and not a week later.

This link was retweeted by empire of the kop from the Liverpool official norwegian supporters club (excuse the poor translation)After that liverpool.no understand the leading people in the Fenway Sports Group to come to Merseyside this week, perhaps on Wednesday, to take decisions with regard to Liverpool's future.
By Torbjørn Flatin (Liverpool)

John Henry and Tom Werner may already be in place in time to take in Wednesday's game against Blackpool, but will defintivt reconcile in Liverpool this week to attend the derby against Everton at Anfield this coming Sunday.

Sources liverpool.no have been in contact with, within the Liverpool FC, said that one can expect that "big things" might happen in the next few days, without having to get a closer look at whether this is about employment, such as new general manager, transfers, or what it should be talking about.

Its no good waiting till the last minute to panic buy for a bargain we ought to be buying now with all the games up and coming. Av got a feeling we will not be buying anyone myself, reason been Comoli has been at the club for three months now and this so called list of talent that he has drawn up must be finished by now or what's the point in having him at the club?

his job is meant to be finding talent and signing it i doubt the owners would of hired and payed him for 3 months and not let him buy players in january. or they may as well of hired him in febuary, save his wages and get ready for the summer window.
he has done this job for a number of years with various clubs so he must have a good idea of the players he likes and wants to sign.
the only player that has moved in jan that stands out so far is dzeko and that is because he snapped citys hands off to get his hands on them wages. we just need to be patient because historicaly players move in the last week of this window, and roy and commolli have said if players are signed it will be near the end of the window. this wait is killing me as well so your not alone. i seriously doubt the new owners will not bring in at least 1 major signing tho. more than likely a forward

We couldn't have a player at Liverpool again called McManaman - Kenny couldn't say it last time.

Who could ever forget the interview - when he said the classic line when the interviewer got it wrong - " That's Easy For You To Say " - Priceless.

Rumour has it that lukas podolski is being targeted by galatasaray for £5m. . surely a bargain buy. . and i hope nesv stick with kenny. .give him a three year deal and back the man in january. .all the vibes seem to be the opposite. .a wait and see approach. money needs to be spent on some quality in january and in the summer we need need to find some star quality. then we won't be far away. .and like i said about podolski. there is bargains out there if you go looking.

ED do you think kenny will start to bring in more british and irish players . when he played and managed for us he was surrounded by the likes of whelan , beardsley souness and rush with a few "foreigners" like hysen grobbelaar etc . i think it would help the club return to its roots .Not all of the foreigners that come in understand what the clubs means to the fans and just turn up for a nice wage . i understand the point that we should go for the best players regardless of their nationality . but i think players like scott dann (birmingham)and scott brown(celtic).
your thoughts please.

We should look no further than up the road to Wigan Athletic and a lad called Callum Mcmanaman . he is an absolute diamond with an unlimited amount of potential and around 19 years old ( scored v hull in the f.a cup on saturday)! Also like the look of Ipswich forward Connor Wickham although the Mcmanaman would be first choice. What do you people think?

Can u put this on the rumour page please ED and what do you think mate?

3 Players are going to begin training with the first team from the academy is the news i have heard.
100% a striker is definetly coming to Liverpool Fc is what i have been told. I wasn't told who but we have an option of 3 strikers to choose from i am going to leave my name do not 100% believe it all but i am passing on what i have been told from within the club by the way Nathan Ecclestone is the nicest lad i've met very humbled and just wants to learn and play.

Think that Kenny will spend about 25-30million to make us a force again we will buy a must needed CF who will be Honda who can also play on the wing he will cost 10 mill. We also need a LB and with taiwo being out of contract in the summer we will offer 3 million with addons if we win anything. Also we need a proven goalscorer which will be suarez as a main target but looks unlikely with him wanting chpions lge so we will go for rvw for 12 mill but suarez will cost 20 we will get rid of aquaman and babel if we get targets pacheco will get more game and with kenny wathin the reserves some more young and hopefully English tallent coming threw our exellent youth system what other managers never looked at

Money that can be spent on a striker or a midfielder with class to help out gerrard ATM we have cole lucas gerrard meireles jovanovic kuyt shelvey babel maxi in a midfield role wither it be holdin or attacking lets stop wasting money and start but class we have and can save so much from not buying c* p

OK fellow supporters, Mr Henry if you read these pages and King Kenny, we are seeing alot of specultaion about players, we know you have openly said we CAN compete with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester Utd over transfers (LFC TV interview); but we are seeing potential superstars being linked with us first then when it gets serious being linked with other clubs and not us, which means that I am concerned that we really cannot compete, and I know i'm not alone. OK we must be patient, but for how long, being linked with Honda and seeing Arsenal come in for him, linked with Suarez and Spurs become favorites, if we do not nail down these types of players we will be going backwards, I know you are trying to rekindle the Liverpool way, but us supporters need a boost please show your fans your intent and lets see some action. .

Please get rid of Poulsen, Konchesky and Joe Cole

Bring in three or four of the following before the new rules come into play about spending, otherwise I fear we will struggle to be top six or seven.

Alexis Sanchez or Juan Mata
Arda Turan or Eden Hazard
Mario Gomez or Honda for sure
Suarez or Lavezzi
Cahill or Shawcross

Coentrao is a promising player, good going forward, however very expensive, and his defensive abilities are questionnable (much like Johnson)

I would prefer to see Aly Cissokho there. Only 22, promising player, can defend very well and can also go forward. Around £9m.

I would also love to see Yann M'Vila at the club, Mascherano is soorely missed an i think this guy could be a good replacement. Around £15-£18m.

Thoughts, Ed? {ed's note - I have no interest in a player to replace Mash, I don't see why we need an auxiliary centre back in midfield, would rather have another midfielder there.}

just reading your point there Ed, personally i think if you have midfielders who can hold onto the ball in the first place, there is no point (certainly at Anfield) in having a Masch type player.

I think that Suarez is a great player on the pitch however, it has been stated that he wants to join Tottenham. I simply cant understand why he would want to go to a club that has no history or tradition and will give him less wages.

get a grip fella, they supported us more than anyone over hillsboro' as it nearly happened to them a few years prior, they have a huge history and a tradition which if not stands shoulder to shoulder with anyone then eclipse's all, my B-I=L is a spur and so is the missus so mate instead of coming on here and gobbing off have a look at the history books! they are not like us but they are big!

£12.5m is a joke but he's English talent, and that comes at a premium.

Are we signing to strengthen the squad or are we just confusing everyone around. Kenny has six months to prove himself and is saying he is ok with the squad. I can't believe anyone any more.It's time we get fact correct from the club. They have been playing games with everyone for a long time now. i would like them to come out and say clearly we are not signing any players or we will sign one or two players. i can't understand what they are up to. its annoying that your own club doesn't want its fan to know what the hell they are upto. Guys we are in deep s* t i can see it. They will take us to the gutters this lot. i can't trust anyone of them right now.

We do need wingers, however we also need a strike partner for El Nino. We have been heavily linked with Suarez who is a very good striker and would be a god addition to the squad however he has a high price tag. An alternative;

Alexis Sanchez. Currently on load at River Plate from Udinese, very young, 22, unbelievably quick and a very promising young Chilean talent. I think we would be able to get him for around £7m, wheras suarez would be around £18m. Saving us 11m possibly to spend on a winger, my choice, Adam Johnson. I would rather have Sanchez and Johnson for the same price as Suarez. He is a good player, but a lot of money.

What do you think, Ed? {ed's note - where did you get the bit about Sanchez being on loan at River Plate? I think you might want to check up, only he has been scouted by United all season, while playing for Udinese.}

in response to everyone talking about the compansation that woy is getting from lfc due to him being sacked i think woy has a f* *ing cheek taking the money he was here for about 6months and gets paid of for what i ask? making us the f* *ing laughing stock of the footballing world it should be him paying us back for what he has done to this great club and before you all start saying its was not his fault it was end of story but yet again football as in banking always rewards failure on a massive scale any one with half a brain can see that.a massive fat soggy turdz on its way to hamster face hodgson from theturdz

Unlike you, most genuine Liverpool fans with any knowledge of football, know 3 things: 1) Lucas is not a great player, 2) Lucas has played far better than probably at least 8 other players in the squad this season, 3) He is young, improving, representing Brazil (not 3rd rate England) and will prove people like you completely wrong. (And I should have added another in response to your comment. .he is even better than a certain Brazilian who played for the Mancs this weekend.)

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

But the fact still remains that Lucas has been one of our most capped players in the last 2-3 seasons and the lad has improved yes, there is no debating that, but is he really good enough to run the midfield for a Liverpool side who should be challenging for honours? NO. The guy has a good game for us and then has two that he does very little, His tackles are still to be desired and his vision of the game is crap at best, we need another Xabi who can see a run before he recieves the ball so when it lands at his feet he has already made his decision where its going, not hold it, look left, not sure, look right not sure play it back that will do. we are lacking in the middle of the park and that is showing with a lack of goals, Raul looks like he may do well for us but without the width and a really strong center mid we have problems. Stevie is a legend and to me can't be replaced, but it pains me to see that we have to fit players in around him, if he is in the hole behind the striker then Raul and Lucas are in the center, even with them both on the field the creativity is poor, hense the lack of goals, i can never remember Liverpool being minus on goal difference although i'm sure they have. I think scott Parker in as a CDM allowing stevie to move around and across the park, (many fans not keen on SP, but he is a week in week out proven quality player, never mind he looks good in a crap side, he still plays the same quality against every club put infront of him, and has great vision with the addition of the old goal). Two wide men to come in, Turan and Honda for me! a striker, i have no idea on this front, many young names being mentioned, and a quality left full back.

We should look no further than up the road to Wigan Athletic and a lad called Callum Mcmanaman . he is an absolute diamond with an unlimited amount of potential and around 19 years old ( scored v hull in the f.a cup on saturday)! Also like the look of Ipswich forward Connor Wickham although the Mcmanaman would be first choice. What do you people think?

The problem with this post is when FABERGAS was told by BARCA he was not good enough, BARCA were winning silver and had some of the best midfielders in the world, and yes FAB has become a great player but still think he is not good enough for first choice at BARCA now.LUCAS has come on and is turning into a good player, but he no way near as good as FAB as an attacking midfielder yet, and as a defensive mid he is no MASCH.LUCAS belongs in our squad and I would like to keep him, but there is better players and we should not be blinkerd becouse he wheres a red shirt

Can we please stop with the Carlton Cole rumours. Why would NESV/ FSG with a potentially large transfer budget have their sights set on a pants, overrated bag of cack?. English or not, we should be aiming a lot higher thank him. If we want English then we should go for Adam Johnson over Carlton Cole anyday. We should be signing high calibre players such as Honda, Mata, Benega, Suarze (spelling?) and Messi :) instead of that dross.

to me, what liverpool needs is a manager with plenty of experience and success at clubs similar to liverpool.
i know roy had loads of experience but nothing at the top.
i am just seriously worried we will take a gamble on someone with little experience let alone at a big club like liverpool.

10 days into the transfer window and still no action from the reds, no players going out or in.

Its no good waiting till the last minute to panic buy for a bargain we ought to be buying now with all the games up and coming. Av got a feeling we will not be buying anyone myself, reason been Comoli has been at the club for three months now and this so called list of talent that he has drawn up must be finished by now or what's the point in having him at the club?

Okay im probably wrong about this, but i thought that one of the things that sorted the red sox out was that nesv had their own sports network and they could show all of their games all the time, so they massively increased their tv revenue. I thought that was nesn? But we can't show Liverpool games on it because of the sky tv money we get paid, more's the pity.
If someone wants to clarify it would be nice that's purely from what i read during the takeover so iv got no idea if it's true or not. . .

I have followed the rumours and discussioons on these pages the latest couple of days. I'm one of those who are extremely happy that KK is back, and I think the following suggestion would give us the kickstart we need now:
IN:
1. Domelu Lukaku
2. Arda Turan
3. Pablo Coentrao

OUT:
1. Paul Konchesky ( I know ;-) )
2. David N'Gog
3. Ryan Babel

YNWA! !
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I posted yesterday that FIFA will not let Konchesky register for 3 teams in a season. Some people tried to correct me and say that he can go back to Fulham. And this is the same situation we had when we bought Robbie Keane then sold him back to Spurs.

I'll try this again. Konchesky has already played for two teams (Fulham/ LFC). So he cannot go anywhere not even on loan or back to Fulham. As this would count as registering for a 3rd club.

Robbie Keane signed for us in the summer and actually played in some friendlie's for us. And then was sold back to Spurs in the January so only played for 2 clubs during that season.

In short Konchesky will not be allowed to go anywhere by FIFA.

A lot of people think Lucas is not good enough for Liverpool. . Especially fans from other clubs who laugh at us for playing him. Like Kuyt, LFC fans love a 'nice guy' who tries hard but has no talent, instead of a nice guy with talent. Ngog is the next one. . loved by fans and runs around all game but absolutely useless.

Love the comparison with Fabregas & Lucas. . LMFAO! !

"The original poster has very good and valid points and opinions. But I think he/ she is generalising a lot, I myself moved to the states when I was 20 to play and coach football. I left home as an individual and I survived without the comfort and solace of my family. I can also account for a great number of other lads from Liverpool who moved abroad to take up scholarships and clubs away from home. A lot grew more as men living away from home, and became very good men, also better football players.

Lukaku has a very good family behind in what I have heard. And I believe they will back him in his decisions. One day the boy will have to leave Belgium as his ability will get better and better. Currently he is in the bracket of the likes of Messi & Fabregas when they were the same age. They both left home at a tender age too, and now both are at the top of world football.

* * *YNWA JFT96* * *"

Doesn't compute!
I know a number of people who left home early and fell off the rails.
Truth is, clubs tend to use the 'landlady/ digs' method as it is proven and is a certain way of kleeping tabs (as much as they can) on players. It's even stricter in the Bundesliga and players are kept on a very tight rein.
You can rebel against it of course - after all, "why should I do what the club wants and have to stay in evenings and not go out? Hell! I'm 17 and got the world at my feet. All this for just £4,000 a week?! No way!"

Players are an investment and this what they will protect. {ed's note - Boro put the kids in with settled families as lodgers.}

I never liked Hodgson, never thought he deserved to be manager of Liverpool but he was still our manager and wanted Liverpool to win so you support him, , he's gone now so support Kenny and the players. . everyone gets on lucas and co case when they misplace a pass etc. . stupid like.

Anyone else think Lucas has a middle ear infection? Watch the ManU game again. He changes direction and falls on either his @ss or face 4 -5 times a game. And he is so slow, sometimes I'm not sure he is actually moving at all. Trust me, fans with half a brain watch Lucas and grimmace as we always playing 10 vs 11 with him in the side.

I am sure that he would enjoy himself at Anfield with real fans rather than at the Theatre of Cheats with sh*te fans. As for that other little pri*k Owen, it does, nt matter what he has to say, he will have to live with himself for the rest of his life. He could have been a legend for us.

Trouble with boys who are physcillay men (like Micah Richards) is that we expect them to be as mature as their bodies appear.
The vulnerability they have is mental and that needs to be channeled and sorted as they develop as players.
The mention of a big boy in an Under 11 team has some resonance. Lukaka will need mentally guiding and I don't think that always happens with younger players (as far as some agents are concerned).
This is why younger players end up in digs; they are sometimes incapable of holding it all together and need the family experience to help them through the diffcult years.
Being a 'man' at 18 becau society says that you are is a myth. Even 'boys' of 21 are boys and need the confort and solace a family can bring.

With Kenny now in charge i think the players know they have to perform. Before, most of the players thought they were bigger than Roy and untouchable whereas now none of them are bigger than the king and bad performances will see the players get the stick off the fans. I also think Kenny will back them up all the way on anyone who slags them off outside of the club, but he will also let them know if he thinks they aren't pulling their weight. He is more wiser in years this time around and will not take any lame excuses off these well paid players. I see a bright future under the King. . .

There are a lot of people watching Dutch football on here. FWIW I rate Van Wolfswinkel. I admit I only saw the games against us but he looked like a natural striker to me in the mould of Fowler, but not as good. He has pace, composure on the ball and in front of goal, great movement off the ball to create space for himself or his partner and he was usually in the right place at the right time. Now he didn't score against us, but I watched Kuyt before he signed and he had something like 70 goals in 100 games in Holland, but his lack of pace and striker's instinct had me worried he could play there in the premier league. He'll do well in the premiership.

The ManU cup game is over and done with and we can live with the result but the taste it leaves is sour. Referee Howard Webb MBE (Manchester Biased Emissary) couldn't have had a clear view of Berbatov's dive from his position and the Assistant Referee didn't flag for a foul.
What has not been mentioned anywhere is Berbatov's body movement prior to his dive. Players diving, having not been struck with enough force to send them to the ground, have to generate a force to make them appear as if they have been struck. Like a snake who has to go backwards before striking forwards a player has to twist one way before falling over in the opposite direction - basic science. Look at Berbatov and you can see his deliberate twist before his fall, coupled with the extra stride he made before the dive to allow grip on the playing surface to generate the fall. There was a time lag in his dive to allow his brain to react to Aggers movement and carry out the extra stride and twist / fall.
You can see this type of dive in every game just look for a base (foot on the ground) to allow the body movement in the opposite direction before the amazing twist and roll.You only have to watch Stevie Gerrard, he has perfected the dive so much, that even Tom Daley takes notes. Stevies movement and awareness of were the Ref is, in relation to himself, is a wonder to see. His movement as he mimics pure agony, as he twist's and contorts his body to face the Ref. He also manages this, as he is falling with his arms in a wide open full gesture, verbally begging for a free kick or penalty, is in deed something for us all to be hold.

yes thankyou for that. i wasnt aware he dived.

sorry should of said people posted he couldnt handle the physical side of the epl.
i am sure lfc will do all they can to help him settle. after all moving to a great city like liverpool after living in belgium won't make him too homesick you would of thought. i do think agents have a lot to answer for tho with there treatment of young players, pushing for moves too early

I know we won't sign Turan, but having not seen anything of him I you tubed him, (sounds painful), but this lad is different class, I know u can't judge on 5 min compilations on you tube but as a brief of what he can it's quite impressive.

There was one clip that Berbatov needs to watch, he is pretty much scythed down from behind, his legs gone he lands on his knee and gets back up and places a sweet ball right into the 6 yard box in one swift moved. None of this fannying about throwing himself into the crowd cos the defender sneezed near him.

but im surprised to see him play today cuz i remember it was official that hes joining Vitesse of holland on loan!
anything has changed and probably it was cancelled (i hope so) and he might get a chance in the first team this year! its all hopes but i believe in this kid and pacheco too. they deserve to be in front considering the huge lack of fire power we have!
ur opinion?
thanx {ed's note - he was injured wasn't he? He is only just coming back if I remember rightly.}

I hope Ryan Babel gets hammered by the FA for his outrageous and totally disgraceful behaviour that has dragged the good name of football into the gutter and brought the game into disrepute.
Who does he think he is?
He should start paying attention to role models in the game and behave in the correct way they do!
Take a look at Theo Walcott.
He's a real professional.
He tried to dive and con the fans, players and referee and got away with it. Then he had the courtesy and good grace to admit he dived and tried to con and break the rules, but he is a nice boy and was polite enough to joke with the ref about it.
So there Babel - take a leaf out of his book.
You won't find Theo doing anything wrong and being punished by the FA. Not like you!
IN FACT . . Theo is such a good kid that although the referee broke the rules as he could have booked him even after they joked about his very funny jape, he didn't!
You should follow this boy's example.
A great role model who knows how to cheat and bring the game into disrepute without being charged for it.
So there Babel!

In my opinion, LFC should be trying to bring in a higher calibre of midfielder than him if they want to be successful.

To the guy who said this. Spot on. Lucas is ok but not good enough if we want to win the league. He has improved but still passes the ball backwards 3 times for every pass forward

Why stop there! What about better quality defenders & forwards? If that's your arguement then we require 3 defenders, a forward, a left midfielder & a right midfielder. All would be required before you even think of replacing Lucas. Now if you go & ask nicely maybe Nesv will fork out £120 million for higher calibre players.

He got arrested, so what? 5-1, 6-0 who gives a sh*t. The truth is we went from slaughtering sides to dropping points left right and centre just at that precise moment. Coincidence? Instead of waking up to 'Geordies murdered' headlines on the back page - Stevie went one better and appeared on the front. We needed our captain to stand up not get pissed and arrested. Lost all the momentum. Those four or five points/ pints cost us dearly.

He's still the best thing that's happened to us in twenty years though. .

Everyone is posting how they don't think Van Wolfswinkle is good enough for LFC. 99% of people have seen him play twice and viewed a couple of youtube clips. The scouts obviously see something in him. Lets be honest, if you didn't know any better and only watched Torres twice this season, nobody would want him, But we all know how good he is.

The ManU cup game is over and done with and we can live with the result but the taste it leaves is sour. Referee Howard Webb MBE (Manchester Biased Emissary) couldn't have had a clear view of Berbatov's dive from his position and the Assistant Referee didn't flag for a foul.
What has not been mentioned anywhere is Berbatov's body movement prior to his dive. Players diving, having not been struck with enough force to send them to the ground, have to generate a force to make them appear as if they have been struck. Like a snake who has to go backwards before striking forwards a player has to twist one way before falling over in the opposite direction - basic science. Look at Berbatov and you can see his deliberate twist before his fall, coupled with the extra stride he made before the dive to allow grip on the playing surface to generate the fall. There was a time lag in his dive to allow his brain to react to Aggers movement and carry out the extra stride and twist / fall.
You can see this type of dive in every game just look for a base (foot on the ground) to allow the body movement in the opposite direction before the amazing twist and roll.You only have to watch Stevie Gerrard, he has perfected the dive so much, that even Tom Daley takes notes. Stevies movement and awareness of were the Ref is, in relation to himself, is a wonder to see. His movement as he mimics pure agony, as he twist's and contorts his body to face the Ref. He also manages this, as he is falling with his arms in a wide open full gesture, verbally begging for a free kick or penalty, is in deed something for us all to be hold.

yes thankyou for that. i wasnt aware he dived.

"Negredo has scored 5 goals this season and they think he's worth 17 million. Get Lukaku for the same price

5 in 11 don't sound too bad. . .
i agree that lukaku looks a better prespect tho. he looks like an adult playing in an under 11 team the guys massive. people were saying cos of his age he would struggle with the epl. i don't think this guy would struggle in the ring with mike tyson.
mikey"

Amusing post - in a nice way.
Thing is with these kids (for that is what he is at 17) . . is that he is still growing and that can sometimes disguise other issues.
He seems well balanced with an experienced footballer father from what I read. He has a strong family relationship, so I suspect (but don't know) that he might be well grounded.
Trouble with boys who are physcillay men (like Micah Richards) is that we expect them to be as mature as their bodies appear.
The vulnerability they have is mental and that needs to be channeled and sorted as they develop as players.
The mention of a big boy in an Under 11 team has some resonance. Lukaka will need mentally guiding and I don't think that always happens with younger players (as far as some agents are concerned).
This is why younger players end up in digs; they are sometimes incapable of holding it all together and need the family experience to help them through the diffcult years.
Being a 'man' at 18 becau society says that you are is a myth. Even 'boys' of 21 are boys and need the confort and solace a family can bring.
I suspect Lukaka will do very well in the game if his mental helath and family are looked after.

People would rather give him stick than criticising Gerrard for getting arrested the night after beating Newcastle 6-0 and on a roll, that sent us into the tail-spin that possibly lost us the league, Alonso, Mascherano and everything else - what's the bigger crime?

What a stupid f* *ing line right there, ,
first off it was 5-1 (gerrard 2, hyypia, alonso, babel) how could yea blame gerrard for the seasons downfall for us going on a bad run. .
he got arrested, so what! does that mean the rest were just thinking oh no! stevie is in trouble we can't play anymore. stupid. teams go on bad runs every season that was our bad run. we got 86 points that year and most seasons we be champs. just a shame them c* ts go 90 points. .

Just seen a report on goal.com that Juventus would offer Liverpool £24M + Amauri for Torres.

Not sure about Amauri, but after this seasons performances and injury concerns, getting what would equate to £35M-£40M or so for Torres seems like a good deal.

{ Ed - Why do you think his performances have dipped so much this season? The Dr at the club said he was fully fit and indicated the problem was more pyschological. }

* *WELSH KOPITE* *

{Editor's Note: I think all fans would agree that he has not performed at all well this season aside from the odd game (e.g. Chelsea). The question is does he want to continue to play for the club?}

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

If Torres says he still wants to play for LFC, like he has said, then I believe him. The truth is that he needs a rest. He played 2007-2008 Premiership then Euro 2008 then straight into pre-season. He then played 2008-2009 Premiership, then 2009 Confed Cup, then straight into pre-season. Finally he went straight from 2009-2010 Premiership to World Cup 2010 to pre-season while never haiving fully recovered from nasty knee injuries. Oh, and he's had two kids along the way! The guy has to be completely knackered at this stage!

LFC need to get someone like Suarez who will make an instant impact with goals while letting Torres have whatever operation he needs and the rest of the season to recover.

His confidence must be shattered too. I wouldn't be surprised either as Roy has been criticizing him all season. Kenny won't do that. Kenny will do what managers like Mourinho & Redknapp do; constantly tell players that they are brilliant, the best in the world. .even if it isn't true.

If fans keep criticizing Torres he'll never get back to how he was.

"I am sorry but I still think he is a squad player and not good enough (yet) to be a first team regular. Come on he, is not fit to lace Alonso's boots. Alonso is Liverpool Football Club standard of player, we should not drop OUR standards."

fair enough, but you need decent, honest squad players aswell - for every Alonso, Souness & Molby you need Fairclough's, Lee's and johnston's etc. Didn't Cantona (Father please forgive me. .) call them 'water-carriers'. He's right. It seems that half the criticism that Lucas gets is because he's an easy target rather people watching what he contributes with their own eyes.

People would rather give him stick than criticising Gerrard for getting arrested the night after beating Newcastle 6-0 and on a roll, that sent us into the tail-spin that possibly lost us the league, Alonso, Mascherano and everything else - what's the bigger crime?

But then, we owe Gerrard the Champions league and everything else for the past ten years, so I take that back.

Everyone on this site who keep ripping Ngog should understand he is still learning his trade and has a lot of potential. Those who say we should sell him are very short sighted and should be Man City or Chelsea fans, where everything is a quick fix. Ngog will be quality in the future and is a very good player now. No, he won't bag 20 goals a season, but he has the potential and the desire, which you can't say about Babel (who cost ten times what Ngog cost) or a certain Mr Torres at the moment.

PS, I think I'd die if I saw that fool Adebayor in a Liverpool shirt.

why the hell is lucasz not good enough to be a first team regular. well his job isn't alonso's job. his job is mascheranos job. the ugly job. he is doing that job realy realy well. i believe he is the best dm in premier league along with song , & tiote, . and his passing & work rate is consistently improving , & if he starts scoreing goals then i think he is good enought to start for any team. still young 24 yearsz & improving season after season, am sure he will be a world class player 2-3 years from now. .

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

Totally agree! I am one of Lucas' biggest critics, yes I'll agree the lad has improved and yes he does try, however, even with the obvious improvement he still is mediocre at best - in short he is simply not up to the standard we require in order to push the club forward! and this is a prime reason why our club is in the predicament it is, too many "squad level" players, like Lucas, who can play to a certain level but simply can't deliever that touch of class that is needed to raise the club back into the top echelon.

Why can't midfielders simply work in tandem going box to box, if one pushes the other simply stays, I've never been a fan of "the defensive midfielder", but if we have to have a player that plays this role then we definitely require a player with more steely resolve and physical presence then Lucas currently provides.

A player in the mould of Van Bommel, (obviously past his best now, but in his prime) or his ilk, I think would be ideal, someone who is hard, technically adept and not frightened to mix it when things get a bit spicy (yes I know he could border on the down right dirty sometimes), a "presence" who could allow Gerrard the freedom to "bomb" forward.

Hopefully Kenny, Comolli and NESV will see past the dross and address this issue.

I loved watching Kenny's interviews so far. When asked how managing LFC this time around compared as a challenge he referred to a par 4 he played with out of bounds and a lake as being "challenging".

Despite the loss to Berba-Flop at the weekend, he remained positive in the interviews with a sense of belief and purpose about him.

He looks like someone that can inspire and motivate. I just fancy Babel and perhaps Cole to perform well for us now in the 2nd half of the season.

*NESN is owned by the Boston Red Sox who are owned by NESV, but their rumors are no more reliable than any other news outlet.

I might be criticized for saying this but its worth mentioning none the less. Our club has a great history and as we all know is one of the most heavily backed clubs in the world, unfortunately this alone won't necessarily attract the worlds top players. What attracts top quality talent is trophies, £££ and also lifestyle. I read alot of posts on here that so and so will join because we are Liverpool and are so respected. Reality is we have been playing sh*ep for a while now. We will probably need to pay slightly above market value for world class footballers due to our league position etc. I know comolli has been brought in to keep an eye over the transfers and has an eye for talent. I'm unsure what the new owners will be like when it comes to fronting the cash for improvements to the squad. I'm just hoping that they will be willing to spend (within reason) to get us back to where we belong. This then helps with future transfer windows and also the retention of our star players, because if things don't change they'll be handing in a transfer request and then we are in big trouble. I guess what im saying is that if it takes an extra 2-3 million pounds to buy Suarez for example we shouldnt be so headstrong.

The War is over now guys, the war between the pro and anti Rafa heads. Kenny is back now and lets all now rally around, unite and remember it's the rest of them against us. With that war being over we can all now call a spade a spade and stop pretending that Lucas is "a great player". The chap isn't good enough for any premiership team let alone LFC. I know there was a big campaign from the pro-Rafa heads to defend his signings but it's getting serious now and we really need to turn things around. Lucas needs to be thanked for his efforts and then moved on just like Roys was. Welcome back Kenny, nice to see two Scots in the dugout again.

We have read enough on the rumour front nothing has translated on the signing bit. Its getting worrying as time is moving on and games are coming thick and fast. When are we going to get a signing done?
Lukaku? llorente? Ageuro? No one knows. So lets all wait and watch the news to get first hand information guys. Enough is enough its getting boring reading the same stories over and over again.

Ok mate, no problem, so you log onto liverpool-rumours.co.uk but you want people to wait to see whats on the news. No problem, what would you rather talk about, the latest Glee episode lol, 3rd world debt?

Ok, if we get new signings it will be because that's what is needed to finish the season , and only players that fit to the team module.
but wouldn't it be great to blood some of our own younger talent as well, just think back to the way the likes of gerrard started at the club! and think about all the young lads who haven't been given a fair run in the first team in previous seasons?
under kenny , everyone will get a chance on the big stage instead of being overlooked, after all, we all know who they are. look at the manu game, who else would have taken a chance with shelvey and kelly in such a massive game? sometimes the only way to tell if a young lad is going to cope at the top level is to throw him in at the deep end, and see if he can swim!

Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool's latest temporary manager has refuted claims that he is out of touch with the modern game by saying he is certain that he can knock Brian Cloughs Nottingham Forest from their perch at the top of the League.

His starting line up for Blackpool is the one he originally picked for United game and he has named his side today twenty four hours early saying he fears no one in the retirement home anymore.

He believes since Sir Stanley Mathews retired, Blackpool only real threat is Mickey Walsh. His team for the Blackpool game is:

Grobbelaar, Nicol, Hansen, Gillespie, Burrows, Houghton, Molby, McMahon, Whelan, Beardsley, Rush

Jonjo shelvey looked decent when he came on the other day. ed do you think he is ready for a start. maybe try him out to replace the suspended gerrard {ed's note - I don't know mate, it depends on the formation Kenny is going to play, I would rather see Pacheco play off Torres than play 3 central midfielders myself.}

Ed what do you think of playing D wilson at left back
Kelly has been great at right back (time to play him along side agger) , From what little i've seen of wilson he looks a lot quicker than kelly , sweet left foot to could make the left back spot his own

Ed?? Gary moon

{Editor's Note: Without knowing more about the lad it is impossible to say - but playing him out of position could do more harm than good.}

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Disagree
Wilson played most of his first team games for Rangers at left back
As with Kelly it is GOOD to play them in the full back position to get used to high tempo game of the EPL BEFORE they go play crucial position of CH.
This is what Liverpool did with Carra when he started (as well as playing him CM)
I think with Kelly, Wilson, Ayala and younger lad Wisdom coming through we have an excellent crop of CH's. They just need more game time in the EPL

The ManU cup game is over and done with and we can live with the result but the taste it leaves is sour. Referee Howard Webb MBE (Manchester Biased Emissary) couldn't have had a clear view of Berbatov's dive from his position and the Assistant Referee didn't flag for a foul.
What has not been mentioned anywhere is Berbatov's body movement prior to his dive. Players diving, having not been struck with enough force to send them to the ground, have to generate a force to make them appear as if they have been struck. Like a snake who has to go backwards before striking forwards a player has to twist one way before falling over in the opposite direction - basic science. Look at Berbatov and you can see his deliberate twist before his fall, coupled with the extra stride he made before the dive to allow grip on the playing surface to generate the fall. There was a time lag in his dive to allow his brain to react to Aggers movement and carry out the extra stride and twist / fall.
You can see this type of dive in every game just look for a base (foot on the ground) to allow the body movement in the opposite direction before the amazing twist and roll.You only have to watch Stevie Gerrard, he has perfected the dive so much, that even Tom Daley takes notes. Stevies movement and awareness of were the Ref is, in relation to himself, is a wonder to see. His movement as he mimics pure agony, as he twist's and contorts his body to face the Ref. He also manages this, as he is falling with his arms in a wide open full gesture, verbally begging for a free kick or penalty, is in deed something for us all to be hold.

Hi ed.if our new owners policy is to get young good players that will have a good sell on value, does that mean we will be selling them when they are in their prime, i would have thought that if they were that good you would want to keep them at the club most of their careers, just a thought, jimmybosun {ed's note - no, it means they can sell if a ludicrous offer comes in or the player's contract is running down and he refuses a new one. Plus there is always the option of selling them to raise the funds for more players, if needed. It is just ruling out paying big money for someone who is at their peak and going to want huge wages and end up with the club going the way of Pompey.}

Red Mosquito

I agree, although it would be a huge gamble - but NESV did say they wanted the best young talent, so. . still I'd repeat what I said before, which is if we went for a young South American talent I think Neymar's Santos teammate Ganso would be a better fit for LFC. In fact, he's about the only player around who looks like he could maybe replace Gerrard in a few years. Ganso will be world class and why shouldn't we go for a player like that?

Hi ed's

i'm guessing NESN is owned by NESV, does this mean any rumours/ stories/ reports they give might have more weight than other media sources? if so then they are reporting a move for lukaku and wickham.

NESN stands for NEW ENGLAND SPORTS NETWORK. used to have a channel on Sky that played mostly basketball games. Not linked to NESV at all

This is very rich coming from a Liverpool fan. You have relighed heavily over the years only referees to give all sorts of dodgy decisions, which were worth at least 20 points a season to you; now your a little team in a big league you don't like it.

In response to this post:

''Liverpool Rumours
We have read enough on the rumour front nothing has translated on the signing bit. Its getting worrying as time is moving on and games are coming thick and fast. When are we going to get a signing done?
Lukaku? llorente? Ageuro? No one knows. So lets all wait and watch the news to get first hand information guys. Enough is enough its getting boring reading the same stories over and over again.''

I think you may have misunderstood the purpose of this page. ITs entitled ''Liverpool Rumours''. If you don't want to read rumours then why are you on a rumours site? Rumours are, in fact, the soul purpose of this page! If you want only concrete truth then just watch the news or read the papers. . . oh wait. .actually maybe not ;) Best to wait til LFC announce something themselves! ''Watch the news to get first hand information. .'', i did have a wee chuckle at that bit.

Hi Guys.

First time poster here. I started reading this site in the summer to keep up with news on the club during the ownership saga and now check it daily.

I am glad that Hodgson has gone as he wasn't right for Liverpool, though I'm sure he is a nice dignified man.

Great News that Kenny is now in charge and I'm sure if he was given the job in the summer we would be in a better position today - at least in the top 6, with +ve goal difference and playing more attacking football.

Hopefully he can now steady the ship and move us back into top 6 by end of the season and lay the foundation for top 4 next year and better things to come beyond that.

I like his first signing of Steve Clarke and hopefully we will get a stronger assistant manager in over the coming weeks than Sammy Lee.

Now to the Squad/ Formation:

I don't see too many signings in Jan with the major moves in the summer, though it would be good to see at least 1 winger and 1 striker come in, with the quality to be in the first team from the off.

Looking at the players we have today I would say that our best formation is 4231. It is a formation they are familiar with and suits their skills.

Obviously with the right signings (more pace on the wings and 1 more quality box to box midfielder, this can evolve to 433 or 442 next season).

442 doesn't currently work when Gerrard is in the team and in the midlde, He is great going forwards but doesn't really take care of defensive duties and to be honest you don;t want him to.

Strongest starting 11:

Reina
Johnson Carr/ Skertle Agger Aurelio

Meireless Lucas

Kuyt Gerrard Maxi
Torres

Backup: Kelly (pushing to keep Johnson out), Wilson, Ayala, Mavinga, Shelvy, Spearing, Babbel, Cole, Pacheco, Ngog.

Cole, Pacheco, Babel and Ngog can all provide like for like (not in quality but ability to play in this formation) replacements for the attacking 4.
Also at the back we have a few more defenders comfortable on the ball so we can play the ball out from the back through the middle (Meireless is a good ball player) to the front. Also in this formation we can press the opposition further up the pitch and win the ball back in more dangereous areas.

I have been watching on LFC The youth cup team. I have to say I have been very impressed with the quality of play, one touch football, slick passing, pressing the opposition and creating alot of chances. Silva, Sterling, Coady, Suso, Robinson are great prospects. In the next 4-5 years together with the best of the current reserves (Pacheco, Mavinga, Kelly, Wilson, Shelvy, Amoo) can form a strong team.

Finally, once Liverpool are on an even keel and on the up I would like us to go back to the way we used to do things in the successful era:

No more than 1 or possibly 2 major signings in the summer transfer window with the majority of the changes to the team coming gadually from within academy and reserve ranks. It is alot better to ease quality younsters into the team over a period of time and also when the team is performing more confidently.

Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool's latest temporary manager has refuted claims that he is out of touch with the modern game by saying he is certain that he can knock Brian Cloughs Nottingham Forest from their perch at the top of the League.

His starting line up for Blackpool is the one he originally picked for United game and he has named his side today twenty four hours early saying he fears no one in the retirement home anymore.

He believes since Sir Stanley Mathews retired, Blackpool only real threat is Mickey Walsh. His team for the Blackpool game is:

Grobbelaar, Nicol, Hansen, Gillespie, Burrows, Houghton, Molby, McMahon, Whelan, Beardsley, Rush

You're right!
I agree with you mate!
Let's stop all this behind the scenes negotiations and discussions about salaries and contracts.
We need to take your advice and just sign up anyone who has been mentioned on this site.
I think we should say "don't worry about money" and buy Lukaku, Hazard, Turan, Wickham, Shawcross, Aguero, Honda and a few more fringe players.
I agree with you - it's outrageous all this talk and not one player publically signed!
What do NESV think we want?
I agree with you mate that we should buy.
That's what we want - just buy will you! !
I agree with you - who cares about any thought, just shut up will you owners and just buy.
I agree with you mate - just buy. Not bothered who! Just spend your money!
Come on NESV!
You came in and promised nothing and yet you haven't fulfilled that promise yet!
You said nothing about transfers and yet we have all these rumours.
I agree with you - we just need to buy!

Wikipedia are reporting that Daniel Agger and Ryan babel are footballers. I have checked this on Google and they might be right. If you scroll down the page there is a reference to Roy Hodgson and the investment in the new Samsung Galaxy tablet PC. Seems Roy was using one this week to access free WiFi minutes. Among the news that he delivered on behalf of the LMA was the news that Sir Paul Taylor, the MP for South Gloucestershire once had a trila with Sheffield United. With both Jonjo Shelvey and Ricky von Wolfswinkel interested in the number 8 shirt, it seems that Kenny Dalglish will have to decide on the colour of the new sofa for the boot room.

if i were Kenny i would definitely go for a leather sofa. much easier to keep clean if he were to spill a cup of tea on it whilst dunking a chocolate digestive. probably a brown/ tan one would be sensible choice.

With the return of daglish i feel that the club will take a turn in there transfer targets. As the way in which daglish managed and played his football was very different to roy. I feel that the rumours of negrado and wolfsinkel are just rumours as i think the next striker will be someone that not only scores 15 - 20 goals a season but creates alot chances for torres. As we all know and can't deny he is an out and out goal scorer and kenny knows this, he remembers alonso days with his pin point passes to torres. Now although the club can't get xabi back they can move gerrard in to the center. I think the feb team will look like this
Reina
Kelly
Carra
Agger
Aurelio/ new signing
Ashley Young
Gerrard
Shelvey/ Lucas
Maxi/ Babel
Torres
Suarez or lukaku

p.s i thought babel looked like a diiferent player on sunday, i hope kenny can get best out of him ed do you argee? Don't think we will see much of ngog either doesn't show enough passion on the pitch. {ed's note - Babel is delighted by Kenny's arrival, if he can't play for the King, well then he will never make it. As for Negredo - he was a Roy target but Wolfswinkel is a Comolli one, it is possible he will still come in.}

Lfc fans. .
atleast things are slightly rolling now. . kenny in charge. .steve clarke as a coach, so no more long balls to torres who has to compete with 3 defenders all game.

of course i wanna see some damn signings. .even loan ones. i wanna see sth
but id like to say having watched spanish football for 10 years on skys. .
negredo. .is average. . not prolific. gets sent off alot. .and he has been battling a starting place for seville with kanoute and the brazlian. trust me if hes worth 17 mill. then carlton cole who scores roughly the same 11 goals a season must be 25 mill

Rumours have spread that the first signing of Dalglish's return to Anfield will be Portugese wing-back, Fábio Coentrão. But according to Wikipedia, the 22 year-old has already signed for Liverpool, and is playing with the number 39 on his shirt!

Morning, as it seems common knowledge we have bid for van wolfsinkle thought i'd give my opinion on him. don't be harsh on the lad. . he runs the channels very well, is quick off the mark, good with both feet, and a very good finisher. we've not had that since an early michael owen. . .think he could be a great signing and partner for torres.
strikers that go out then back in, bending the run, will immediately occupy a centre half and leave torres isolated one v one on the 2nd centre half, something we havent had for a while.
give the boy a chance, waaaayyyyyy better than ngog, scores well in an average dutch league side. . .and he will be learning from the master kk.
any thoughts?

"Commoli also reportedly sent scouts to watch Ipswich Town striker Connor Wickham"

Strange thios football game: odd that we read such nonsense and even bleive it.
The way this is reported you would think Comoli had never heard of this "geezer Connor Wickham!" It doesn't work that way.

Scouts watch players all the time and decisions and judgements are made at an early stage. They watch them constantly to determine if they are worth the money - not if they can play.
Will they fit into the squad?
What is the best position?
How do react under pressure?
Makes you wonder how we ever bought Poulsen?

Well this is an issue in itself.
Mangers make decisions based on what the scouts say, but ultimately on what they THINK.
Aquilani was a good example of this. Rafa thought he could do a job, despite him being told he was injury-prone.

Maybe this is what will make KK look more to the younger players. Players he has watched regularly over the past 12 months at the Academy.

Lukaku, Eden Hazard, von Wolswinkel and Honda are young enough to be given time to develop. Buying at this level is now even more expensive than buying established players; you have to spend to develop, but with everyone chasing, the price goes up.

Hate all this wish list nonsense, but if I had to buy just two players if would be Lukaku and Shawcross. I think our chances of getting one is reasonable.

It has got less to do with age and more to do with trying to understand what you're talking about.
Just for the record - Owen left to win trophies and look what happened to him, he missed out on the Champions League trophy and has been in the wilderness ever since. He would crawl back to Liverpool if they would have him. So I totally disagree with a player leaving to win trophies - it's being simply a mercenary.
Good luck with your English GCSE in a few years time. That should be a laugh.

I'm glad we've got in Clarke - but Sammy Lee has been getting a battering on here. How do any of you know he's a bad coach, have you trained with Liverpool, Bolton, England etc. Seems like he's been employed by a lot of good managers down the years - what am I missing? Seems like we turn on our own at the drop of a hat nowadays - not good.

As I said, I don't think it's a bad idea to get someone of real quality in, but come on. .

{editor: Sammy is a good person to have around the dressing room he has to be respected for his time at Liverpool. I think that the fact that we have got another first team coach can only be a good thing for the players to improve.}

Talk about a Webb of deceipt.
As Ryan Babel is being charged with improper conduct after the game by the FA, then shouldn't Howard Webb also be charged with improper conduct during the game?
There is a major flaw in the refereeing system when there is no recourse against one sided decisions by the ref.
solidair

{Editor's Note: There is recourse against the referees in that there performances are assessed by peers and action taken if not up to scratch. Babel's actions were not improper conduct just a bit of dumb fun - and should have been dealt with without a formal charge being laid.}

I agree with you on Babel absolutely - but my point about recourse is there is no direct recourse. Waiting for their peers to take action is like waiting for politicians to take action about their own fraudulent expenses claims. If they're not exposed by the media first - nothing happens. There should be a tribunal where teams (if they believe they have a good case) could challenge the decision. In our case the goal from the penalty should be dis-counted and a rematch scheduled as it was genuinely 0-0, also Berbat* t could be charged with diving.

Is it just me or is anyone else getting that 'feel good' factor now Kenny's back?
I really do think this could be the start of something and a turning point in the clubs fortunes.
The guy oozes class. He's an absolute legend anyway but together with his experience, his man management and motivational qualities, his eye for a good player, his knowledge of the club and its players at all levels and, he knows what being a Red is all about. It doesn't matter one bit that he's been out of management for so long, he's still been in and around football and now he's got Steve Clarke with him that will help a lot.
He'll bring something else to the training ground too. Be prepared for quick, slick passing football with an emphasis on taking the game to the opposition. Jamie Redknapp was right yesterday, our players have been coached to death over too long a peri Gerard Houllier, Raf and Roy. Kenny will approach it differently and I for one have a good feeling about this and think Kenny may well turn out to be the guy we've needed all a long.
Look out Taggart - the King is back!

Ed - any thoughts?

Yohan Cabaye. who plays for lille, a box to box midfielder, has scroed 13 goals & 8 assits past season . this season already 3 goals & 6 assists, still 24 years he has been very consistent recenetly. a dynamic creative midfielder who can score goals and make assists from Center of the pitch , also a leader, the captain of lille. the type we missing apart from stievie. a bid of around 14-16 million would be enough to snatch him. . we should go for him as a replacement for pouslen . .
he could be a class signing. the type we are missing , so that lucasz & Meriiaralez can be used as deep lying midfielders. .kenny should go r for him. plz kenny

Hi eds, my first post, jus wondering if u know anything on this guy iker munian from athltico bilboa, young, pace, tricks, maybe not the finished article but under someone whos philosophy is to play without fear(kk) and being Spanish knows the likes pacheco cud be a gud signing imo, I can jus picture suso, pacheco & munain these guys definitely for future but in imo can play some part in a lot of matches now, anyway munian is a rising star so maybe athletico won't sell.p.s I think we need a dm, lucas is not defensive midfielder & hedont break up enough play he probably gives his all but we need someone like hate to say it but that git masch, lass diarra I like maybe won't cost us much as say benega and the advantage of premier league experience less of a gamble.By the way great site fine effort. Thoughts pls ed.?


YNWA! !


{Editor's Note: Football games do not make the best scouting means. The player is young and has some capabilities but will not be for sale for some time yet. He would certainly not get in the Liverpool side.}

I meant to say bed him in like a impact player did u see the match athletico v barca in the copa del rey he came on when 1.0down made a difference and his 30 odd yard ball led to their goal. He's young and talented I thought that's way nesv were lookin for. In a losing situation apart from maybe babel I don't think any one from our bench can do better.p.s when I say they can play now I mean carling cup f.a cup ties losing situations

Signings I would like in Jan jus to get us going

Mata.(must)
Bridge.(cheap and we have worse.)
L. diarra.(strong breaks play up bit like masch and PL experience shouldn't cost that much energy levels better than Lucas.)
Honda.( versatile creative set pieces and wed makethe money back in asia shirt sales etc )

I think we shouldn't rush into a striker until summer with these signings think Torres will get enough service remember he banged all his previous goals as a lone striker and we should let kuyt, babel, ngog do the covering as they are meant to do, not play on the wings. what I thinkour problem our midfielders don't have a eye for defence splitting pass or a 30-40 yard ball how I would love alonso back he just knew war to do before the ball even got to him stevie can do that but not playin behind Torres Liverpool have always had someone like that (molby, hamman, alonso) every top team has 1 spurs have modric, stum have scholes, madrid alonso, barca xavi and so on Lucas hasn't got it and miereles I like how he tries but its early days I think aquaman had that or near enough I mean rafa bought alonso worked out well I think given time aquaman would have done well plus we wouldn't of had to spend 20 odd million on miereles maybe spent well in other positions.

I honestly don't think that we will make many signings in january (1-2 max) but if we do it will only be a LB or a winger. the striker market in january is usually horrible and it is this year except for suarez, who is the only world class striker I can maybe see joining us. I'm not too mad at this because I think it will give Kenny a chance to use more of the youngsters, especially if the results continue to go south. Hopefully suso, shelvey, pacheco, kelly, wilson, amoo, adorjan and sterling get some action. if they come in to the squad and play well, that would make a million times more happy than signing suarez or any other player we have been linked with

ST Torres / SUAREZ or NGREGDO / Babel / Panecho

Out:

Ngog (Loan)
Ayala (Loan)
Jovanevic (4m)
Poulsen (2m)
The Greek (2m)
Insua (5m) - If sent back from loan spell

In:

Corluka (6m)
Santon (7m)
Honda (12m)
Suarez or Ngregdo (17m)

This means alot of investment at this stage (alot less in the summer) which balances out the squad alot better.
Come the summer (dependant on the manager) the following changes will be made.

Summer - In/ Out - Replaced position wise in the squad.
Konk (2m) - Not replaced
Skrtel (6m) - Replaced with either Cahill (15) or Shawcross (15m)
Insua (5m) - not replaced (if still around)
Aqualani (14m) - not replaced
Maxi (2m) - Replaced with Maureux (Free)
(Plus the others like Degen, El Zhar to be let go)

Any additional purchases will be young talent.

Maybes (Out)
Johnson - Could be kept as right winger if performances warrent it (Not replaced)
Lucas - New manager could prefer out and out DFM
Babel - On last chance so would have to prove himself as backup to Torres, replaced by young exciting striker/ winger.

The Other Gerard
(No personal sources, just a little bit of thought/ common sense and other peoples claims)

Hi eds, my first post, jus wondering if u know anything on this guy iker munian from athltico bilboa, young, pace, tricks, maybe not the finished article but under someone whos philosophy is to play without fear(kk) and being Spanish knows the likes pacheco cud be a gud signing imo, I can jus picture suso, pacheco & munain these guys definitely for future but in imo can play some part in a lot of matches now, anyway munian is a rising star so maybe athletico won't sell.p.s I think we need a dm, lucas is not defensive midfielder & hedont break up enough play he probably gives his all but we need someone like hate to say it but that git masch, lass diarra I like maybe won't cost us much as say benega and the advantage of premier league experience less of a gamble.By the way great site fine effort. Thoughts pls ed.?

{Editor's Note: Football games do not make the best scouting means. The player is young and has some capabilities but will not be for sale for some time yet. He would certainly not get in the Liverpool side.}

reina, santon, agger, shawlcross, aurelio, banega, mvila, mata, gerrard, auarez.torres

what do you think ed?

{Editor's Note: Steve Clarke will I am sure prove to be an excellent choice. He can additionally translate for Kenny Dalglish. As for the players you wish to bring in, I think you are being rather too hopeful.}

Oh no. Serious overrated imo. Has potential but i think we can be aiming higher then him. Any idea how much we bid, 50p?

Oh and Ed did Roy really get 7 million pound pay off? Seems little high to be true.

put torres on the bench to give him an appetite to get on. bit of a kick up the backside. ngog and babel played well together before, as jovanovic gets into game it would be like 3 up front. suso i would start now that gerrards out, people say hes not ready, they may be right, but at least give the lad a chance to prove them wrong, i think he would torture blackpool from start to finish

Against manure our defense looked good, kellly, outstanding, skrytl was solid, agger great(he covered up for aurelio's wayward passes) Also kelly looked quick enough to cover a speedy winger and also get forward when needed. I would have to put agger and kelly in for a 5-6 game run and see where we are. Johnson is that bad defensivly that Skrytl gets stucker trying to cover 2 positions, which makes him look out of position a lot of the time. SO we need a left back, a winger is a must with pace and creativity, and finally a striker. Good players have good reputations which create fear in defenses. This results in open spaces. Ex you cannot put 2 defenders on Torres if a speedy winger is killing the left back, as a defense you have to pick your poison this causing postional breakdowns. Right now Liverpool don't have enough "good players" that scare teams.

Ian Wright '####' Article in the sun (sorry for swearing)

Why didn't Dalglish help Woy

Not a very well thought out article! In truth it's garbage! !

Prior to the Bolton game Dalglish did publicly call on everyone to give their support to Hodgson & for everyone connected with the club to pull in the same direction. Hodgson wasn't a young inexperienced manager; he was more than capable of asking Dalglish to be his assistant if he'd wanted him to be.

Also 6 months ago the board was made up of Tom Hicks, George Gillett, Martin Broughton, Christian Purslow & Ian Ayre. Only Ian Ayre remains coupled with the fact that there has been no progressive improvement under Hodgson there was only one decision to make.

If you think about it it's a very clever move. If Kenny is successful then 'Holy Comolli' there is no doubt he will be asked to continue on a longer contract. If however he has an average run-in he can bow out with his head held high and whilst he will always be held in high esteem by the fans they will know that for him to continue/ return as manager will be a no go.

It will effectively draw a line under things and we will all know that we have to look forward giving a new manager a better chance without having to look over their shoulder.

It makes sense.

so if over jan and summer we got say honda 9m, turan say 8m plus insua, banega 12m and mata 18m would be good.alonfg with taiwo on free.it would be your team but honda instead of meireles.so that's 47m before sales would have a strong squad.that bout right o your side ed?DORSET RED {ed's note - those 5 would be great, though I would want to watch more of Taiwo before I signed him.}

Ed what would your team be for wednesday and do you think we have a chance of winning now we got dalglish in charge?also if you were manager and nesv gave you the money what would your line up be for the 2011/ 2012 season cheers DORSET RED

{Editor Note: My team would be the same team that we seen at Old Trafford, except with J.Cole playing behind Torres now that SG is suspended. If J.Cole isn't fit, I'd move Kuyt into that area and play Babel. And I think we looked better at OT so I'm more confident than I would have been with Hodgson in charge. And my XI realistically would be: Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Taiwo, Banega, Meireles, Gerrard, Mata, Turan, Torres in a 4-3-3. Maybe some wouldn't consider that realistic, but we could get Taiwo for nothing, Turan for no more than £12m, Mata and Banega for no more than £30m. Maybe wishful thinking though.}

I attempted to throw in the mix an opnion as to how I anticipate NESV conducting themselves based upon some of the signals you have to scratch below the surface to find. I'll post again this time next year with a 'told you so' if NESV turn out to be H&G in another dressed up form.

To ed who said kenny miller offers nothing
Speak to danny wilson about that and just wait till hes banging in the goals for fiorentina or birmingham next season

Also would like to see KK lace up his boots again, he could show n'gog a thing or two!

{Editor Note: Kenny Miller has an average scoring record prior to his current stint with Rangers. He even had a poor record for Rangers and Celtic before in the SPL. He's 31 now, he's already failed in England so what makes people think he can do it in England again? Or even with a bigger club like Fiorentina. As for N'Gog, he's been more of a target man for Liverpool but atleast he's putting in performances for Liverpool in this league, something Miller couldn't do. All he could really show N'Gog is how he only managed to perform and score when he went back to a league equivelent of our League One.}

"Liverpool Rumours
Who would uz like to see brought in at cb because it's obvious skrtel and the greek aren't good enough for liverpool"

You're right they're not, but Wilson, Ayala and Kelly (who is naturally a CB) are good enough, or at least soon will be with enough time on the pitch. So why should we spend 20-40m on a CB pairing when we will only be hindering these youg players chances of reaching their peak.
Ed what do you thik about playing one of these along side Carragher when he returns, so that they can gain some experiece alongside one of the best? (Assuming Ayala will recover from his injury in a similar time)

I ownder wether Kenny Dalglish would want to drop Martin Skrtel fro a side that defended valiantly at Old Trafford , as much as I would prefer to see :

. . . . . . . . .Martin Kelly. . Daniel Agger. . . . . . . .

paired at the back from now on , kudos has to be given to the backline when it defends well . Maybe Kenny Dalglish will get a defender out of Glen Johnson and then line up with 2 footballing centre backs and 2 attacking full backs .

I thought it worth mentioning that when a new manager takes over a football club there is always that period of experimentation as the manager takes stock of who is there and how best to use them , it will be interesting to see how Kenny Dalglish implements team selection over the next one or two months .
