You know what, your post just sums it all up. The post which started "OK Nameless, i've been out for a breath of fresh air and have returned feeling exactly the same!" was a responding e-mail that was counter attacking an idiot who questioned the belief that we desperately need to make some Jan signings. There was no ' I know this person ' or 'I think we'll sign this play ' in the original e-mail so just chill out!

Pele's Jock-Strap's Elastic

Not that it matters, but I think the original poster was saying stop acting like impatient kids at xmas - deals take time, especially for good players, not we don't need to sign anyone - because obviously we do.

Ed, purely basing this on footballing reasons, who do u think was a better player and goalscorer. Michael owen in his prime or torres in his prime (not this season obviously)??

King Kam {ed's note - Torres, he has far more about his game, Owen peaked very early due to injuries. What about you?}

Why do you some of you guys say shelvey/ suso should be "given chance" and instead of getting other players like C.Adam we can use the money for a striker? They have future but if we play them now then they will be playing in championship next year.

We need someone who has good experience and can make impact immediately. And that extra 5 million will not get us a striker who is better (world class) than the player costing 5 million less.

Fernando Torres has pledged his future to LFC but has stated the us fans have to stay loyal too. He has said he is having contract extension talks in the summer aswell. Lets hope they all go well!

15 Jan 2011 22:12:54
Ed what position does honda play? cheers :) {ed's note - that is a difficult one to answer, he has played left back, left wingback, left midfield, defensive midfield, attacking midfield, support striker and as a target man in the games I have seen him play. I think he is best off the front man myself.}

15 Jan 2011 22:08:35

To me if we don't improve our squad now we could be saying goodbye to the likes of reina torres and possibly gerrard.
to me we need to buy :

suarez
turan
coentrao
honda
hazard

and get rid of :

konchesky
poulsen
degen
el zhar (loan)

what do you think ed? do you agree that if we don't buy a few big name players our top players will go? i think we do and we need to at least equal our finishing position as last year! ! please post :) {ed's note - no, we just need to show that we are improving, though I really don't care who plays for the club myself. What matters to me is that we get players who want to play for the club.}

15 Jan 2011 22:05:26
Hey ed, whats your opinion on Poulson? Do you reckon Kenny really rates him? Was surprised when he started on Wednesday night. I just don't think he's good enough myself and I'm hopin he doesn't start tomorrow. {ed's note - he is just giving all the players a chance to prove themselves.}

If you compare Poulsen, Lucas and Meireles against CADAM. Poulsen looks lost, Lucas runs around like a headless chook and Meireles afraid to put his foot in a tackle. Watching CADAM is like watching Souness in his prime. Not afraid to get in, can mix it with the best and can make that final pass. If we get him for 5 mill he will be a cheap buy.

If any transfers are goin to be done in january, i think they will be done the 'LIVERPOOL' way. no one will kno diddly squat about it until a firm offer has been made. look at raul meireles, there was no paper reports about that until the bid was confirmed.

15 Jan 2011 21:50:07
Liverpool Rumours
I love Liverpool, but I have a feeling it is going to be a disappointing transfer window. .

I don't think we will sign suarez, lukaku, chamberlain, negredo, banega, Young or anyone of that calibre. . (MILITO! )

I think realistically we will go for:

Honda- won't get
wright Phillips- possibly
warnock-likely
taiwo-won't get again
coentrao- as above
elia- likely

so to sum up I think we will get warnock and elia and possibly a striker, but only that, I don't see us getting anyone more, een though I would love to see:

Ashley Young
Luis Suarez
Stephen Warnock

So our team would be:

Reina

Johnson Agger Carragher Warnock

Cole Meireles Gerrard Young

Torres Suarez

Subs:

Jones
Skrtel
Kelly
Aurelio
Lucas
Rodriguez
Kuyt
N'gog

What do you think ed?

15 Jan 2011 21:43:24
Liverpool Rumours
I don't think liverpool will sign A.Turan because hes too similar to Cole and Maxi, so unless one of them leave then doubt he'll come!

Suarez looked good though!

Hi Ed, Just watching Spanish Football, Athelic's Javi Martinez would do well for LFC, also noticed the kid Muniain only 17 looks a real prospect, scored a peach as well, have we watched any of these lately

I would take Iker Muniain and Javi Martinez all day long! Sadly I can't see it happening with the charlatan Comolli heading our future recruitment policy, just plenty of second rate French crap. Comolli will be as hated as Purslow and Hodgson before long and players the like of Muniain and Martinez, a long since departed Spanish pipedream. {ed's note - I like both of those myself, top class players those two.}

15 Jan 2011 21:35:28

The amount of rumours that are dead certs is funny - 6 or 7 new signings totalling £60 mill +
It just isn't gonna happen !
Yes, NESV want to protect their asset (Lpool) and will sanction some money to make sure we don't go down. But, first and foremost, NESV are hard-headed US businessmen. Nothing for nothing.
We're debt free and so revenue will go to them as income / profit.
As a club, what could we make a year as profit - £50 mill + ?
So, say half of that on transfers and the rest as liquidity / NESV income.
I'm reckoning maybe 3 new players totalling £20m ish this window.

Seems to be interesting that Luis Suarez is not in the Ajax team tonight - only a friendly of course , but the player being banned for a considerable time , surely he could have done with the match fitness if he is to return to the Ajax first team .

15 Jan 2011 21:28:48

Hi all, I would like to suggest a few players lfc should go for greizman , babacar, lukaluka, kevin(real zaragoza), munian, hazard, defour, elia, sanchez, henrique, neymar, sissoko(toulose), mvilla, contreo, rami , kjaer, sakho, santon and suarez I think all these players would improve our mighty club back to a top four team again.

Ps sorry for the spelling ( 1-0 to the reds in the derby )

Just watched the Gala V Ajax game. Turan is a Must!
He doesn't lose the ball. Him and Suarez would launch us up the table (even though the latter missed a sitter that Ngog would be proud of).

Emauelson did ok, but to be honest he isn't that much better than Insua

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Is C. Adam good enough for Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, City or even Spurs? Didn't think so. So why should he be good enough for LFC?!"

He's good enough for Liverpool at the moment lad as we don't have much money and he's performing better than most the s* *e we have playing now. A decent Jock - just what the club misses.

DaveyBootle
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Well if we are looking to stay in mid table mediocrity then I'd agree with you but I'm aiming abit higher myself an looking for Liverpool to start challenging again, the only way we are going to do that is to be looking to sign players a class above C. Adam. There's no point replacing our midfielders with slightly better ones. We need top players to get us back to the top."""

Liverpool need money to get back to the top! !

If we havn't got the money, we need to spend wisely, and maybe that is what's happening. Regardless of your opinion of Adam, he's in good form and makes things happen. If you're so afraid of Liverpools 'mid-table mediocrity' then suggest to me who you would sign? Foreign players require time, Liverpool don't have time, so bargain basement buys may be our only option this season, and players 'proven' in the league fills me with much more confidence than over-priced un-proven egos brought in on an over-priced transfer fee. Sometimes, the term 'glory hunting' does spring to mind on occations with certain posts - others might call it passion, but Liverpool have no God given right to win games or trophies, and sometimes - as fans - we need to ride the storm, forget about this season, and be optimistic about the future, because I firmly believe that as fans we all need a kick up the ring, and this season has given us that, which isn't as bad as we think.

Daveybootle

Given that Charlie Adam dominated us in the centre of the park i'd say he is good enough, and i would be more then happy if he was to sign for us. He has a brilliant work rate, goes forwards aswel as backwards and can pick a pass

Charlie Adam come on down!

15 Jan 2011 20:45:33
Oh my goodness if one more person says Charlie Adam isn't good enough for Liverpool i will go insane.
Yes yes he isn't good enough for Arsenal Chelsea or Man utd? But wait.
Adam> Ramires
Adam> Denilson, Rosicky! Probably song too
Adam> I don't like fletcher or carrick or gibson or scholes. ( Okay i just hate united. )
But the point is our current is kinda s* tty? Lets face it.
Kenny is 100% the right man he is getting us to play attacking flowing football!
I was pleased with the Blackpool game even thought we lost because only one thing cost us the game
The Final Ball. Kenny higlighted that himself. We all know that can improve with better quality players.!
Charlie Adam 5 odd mil.
YES PLEASE.
He is way better than shelvey. Im sorry shelvey has talent but he is no Wilshere.

Have you heard anything about our transfer budget yet ed? what do you reckon it will be? cheers !

{Editor's Note: There won't be a budget. Players will be considered individually on their merits.}

15 Jan 2011 20:43:02
I think we all need to get a reality check! no one wants to be relegated do they? if the team keep playing badly then we will be! so everyone saying that we are not a mid table team, you need to think about it, would you rather settle down in the championship? or, at least get back to the comfort of a mid table position, what else can we expect?
and if kenny decides it will take signings like adams( who i don't think we need) who , if signed by us would give his all and more for us! lets just be the twelfth man, and back kenny and the lads, to make sure that we stay up, so the next step in our history can start in the summer!

i just don't think we should waste our money on a cm wen we have good young cms in our reserves.
we need to feel more important positions like rw, lw, st/ lb/ cd then we can look at more cms i mean gerrard can fill that position meireles shelvey lucas at the min and joe cole who still has potential wen fit and not banned

Ed, a couple of streaming suggestions,

Ed how can i watch gala v ajax

{editor: There are many ways. If you have google chrome you could get the live football add on. Maybe someone else has a link they can share?}

the chrome live football app is ok, as long as the streaming source does not rely on the v share viewer, as it is not compatible with google chrome server.
however you can go to ATDHE.NET, where you can download the v share add on with ms internet explorer server or i think moz fire fox server, you can then use the ATDHE.NET site to watch any program, sport or otherwise, that is listed there!
alternatively, just download, sopcast and the program provides you with every thing you need to view on the net, it is a freeware program and quite good, simples!

hope this has been of some help, and is provided for information only, and i do not support illegal use of the net * * * *s! ha . . .

You guys need to wake up. C. Adam is a good player who is on form and proving it here. I would sign him tomorrow for 5m!

You all wanna pay 12m for Banega who cannot get into the Valencia team, is unproven here and could be a flop and not adjust to the pace. Added that like his country men Masch & Tevez will prob get homesick for sunny skies in a year or 2?

david santon (summer)
connor wickham (not much chance !)
alex oxlade chamberlain (maybe summer)

15 Jan 2011 19:42:15
15 Jan 2011 18:59:34
Agree ed but my point is suso is younger than adam great passer great skill and shelvey has great potential with a a number of first team experience so if adam comes they will get pushed back more and he will b bout 5/ 6 mill so we could use it on other postions nedded and were not taking a gamble on a player that is shining at blackpool! ! id rather use the money towards turan mata benga suarez even penieer lukaka llorente shawcross hazard these are the player we need and with the money some would probably come

{editor: I agree, a striker and wingers should be priority. About Suso, he is only young and I don't expect to see him in the first team for another 2-3 years.}

* * * * * * * *
Is the guy above serious? What will happen if we put Suso now in CM and he comes up against Yaya, De Jong, Essien, Cattermole & co? Either start the lad now on horse steroids or make sure his life insurance is up to date.

just saying it to the people who keep chanting adam name i think deep down ed u no we don't need him u agree with me we need to spend in other places and if ur gonna gamble on a big fish in a little team then pick from our reserves shelvey england (under 20 cap)or suso (class) i mean we made 1 mistake by picking a big manager from a little team (hodgson) the only little team we should gamble on is our reserves that way we can't blame the manager for waseting money what do u think ed please back me up

Somebody else that doesn't know football, or how to speak properly for that matter. It is like compairing Alonso with Mascherano, all be it two sub standard versions. Poulsen is considered as a defensive midfielder, whos main responsibility is to protect the back four and break up opposition attacks. Where as Adam's main role would be as a deep lying playmaker, spreading play and dictating the tempo of the game. Therefore it is like compairing chalk and cheese.

"OK Nameless, i've been out for a breath of fresh air and have returned feeling exactly the same!"

I've noticed a few of you getting on your high-horses about names being included at the end of posts. Nobody on here knows jack sh*t about the inside workings of LFC and who they will sign so what does it matter. I personally couldn't care less what you or any of the posters are called - nor should you careless about what my name is - I just care about the sanity/ stupidity of your opinion. Not if you claim to be someone who knows someone who drinks with Terry McDermott's plasterer etc etc

Pele's Jock-strap

You know what, your post just sums it all up. The post which started "OK Nameless, i've been out for a breath of fresh air and have returned feeling exactly the same!" was a responding e-mail that was counter attacking an idiot who questioned the belief that we desperately need to make some Jan signings. There was no ' I know this person ' or 'I think we'll sign this play ' in the original e-mail so just chill out!

Ed u say adam better than poulson y should we buy him for 5 mill if were gonna gamble then we have shelvey suso these can pass and are probably quicker than him i mean they would probably shine at blackpool that way we could put the 5 mill towards a striker or winger maybe even a deffender

{editor: OK you make a very good point. Maybe instead of buying a new CM we should let Shelvey have a chance.}

I personally don't rate shelvey that highly at all from what I have seen of him in the first team I don't think he will become a regular first team player his passing isn't as good as some people make out and he's not a tough tackler and he isn't that quick he has youth on his side but I think most supporters are hoping for a good young english player and are clutching at straws. I don't think shelvey will ever be as good as adam

15 Jan 2011 19:15:55
{editor: You make a good point, I don't think it matters about Nationality though. You just need to explain what it means to play for LFC at an early age.}

* * * * *
Agreed Ed, was actually meaning signing your 21-22 y/ o's who will be straight in an around your first team. A youngster coming through the ranks should understand that. But we have to question why we have so many 'small' foreign players in our academy. The EPL is physical, so surely this must be taken into account. Whilst I think Andy Gray is a noob, I did sort of undertsand his point that even Messi wouldn't be as good in England as Spain (i.e. 2 goals everygame type stuff).

abola.pt - Latest Other Worlds "Who would not want to be coached by Mourinho?" - F�bio Coent�oBy Gon�alo Guimar�es

Real Madrid is one of the big European clubs who want to have Fabio Coentrao from next season. But what will the meringues so special compared to other competitors? The answer is simple: Jose Mourinho, recently considered the best coach in the world.

"Who would not want to be coached by Jose Mourinho, who has won everything there was to win?" Replied the Portuguese left-back of eagles, told SCI. Without halting, however, Coentr�o not forgotten who helped him find the right path to a career that seemed hopelessly lost: Jorge Jesus: "Here at Benfica also work with a great coach who I believe will come out."

The talented lefty from Caxinas know that staying in Light's days are numbered, and assumes that the parting is painful. "If you quit Benfica's why it's good for the club and for me, but if it happens I will miss it because I love being here, I love Liverpool. I say this not to say, is what goes in my heart, is my feeling. I am treated well by the fans and all people, from players to managers. I will miss . .�, underlined.

Read the following post from the editor, and this is why I will not apologise for what I said because it is the truth.

'{editor: Pace is not everything, do you not think that he would be an improvment on Poulsen? I understand that he is a Blackpool player and there would be sceptisism if we were to sign him.}'

How could Adam possibility be an improvement on Poulsen?? Really, how could he be? They are different types of players. Chalk and cheese. Sure they may both play in Midfield, but they have completely different roles. This is what i mean about the editor. He lacks a footballing knowledge, or so it would appear. It's not like i'm trying to be offensive. Well if he is here to edit the site maybe he should refrain from trying to look like he is in the know, and just sick to 'editing' the site.

One thing i will apologise for however is my spelling and grammer on my previous post.

{editor: I never claim to be 'in the know'. I apologise for my opinion and I said that he would be an improvment on Poulsen, I never said they were similar players. Who would you rather have in your team? Adam or Poulsen?}

NESV will definitely have to show how serious they are in the transfer window. We have definitely fallen so far behind that investment will determine whether LFC will be able to compete in the near future or not. Should we not be able to make a statement than this club is doomed. Players are already shying away from offers because there will be no CL or european cup next year. The quality signings have no time to waste in this day and time.
I hope for everyone sake that this window is not wasted and that we can attract some good players.
Man u r in for Fabio coentrao? this guy in my opinion is excellent top class unfortunately we can't afford him, nor would he like to come to us. The LB position and LM need to be filled soonest. Striker defence, we are in such a mess that its frustrating to even think that we are where we really are.
If NESV don't come up with a solution to revive this team what next? They are keeping everyone guessing at the moment, but we shall only wait until the transfer window ends to now whether they are seriously looking at improving this club or not.
Depressed fans can't wait for the window to come to a close. Am just going to have to stop watching and supporting this team. Its getting to me.

Ed u say adam better than poulson y should we buy him for 5 mill if were gonna gamble then we have shelvey suso these can pass and are probably quicker than him i mean they would probably shine at blackpool that way we could put the 5 mill towards a striker or winger maybe even a deffender

{editor: OK you make a very good point. Maybe instead of buying a new CM we should let Shelvey have a chance.}
* * * * * * *
I believe we desparately need a deeper lying 'Alonso' type playmaker. Adam is class - he has proved it 'IN EPL'. Shelvey is still a little rough around the edges and I see him more as a Gerrard replacement 1 day.

As I have said numerous times - to play a DM like Lucas to just run aimlessly around all game and foul people and fall over always means we are 1 man short. We need C. Adam and 5m is a bargain imo. Lucas can then be sold as Spearing is better than him. Lucas will do well in Italy where the pace is slow.

Owners here primarily to appoint new ceo they will then allow kk to buy a couple of players to ensure safety this year with an outside chance of eufa cup success the players bought in will have to be in keeping with club policy so no warnock and I would expect only 2 to come in so banega and one of honda or suares or turan would do nicely for me please mr henry

I think Adam is a good player in an average team, if he joins us he will be an average player in a good team.
I personally think we have to many CM, why don't we look to putting that money to sign a forward and simply play Gerrard in the middle

This has been bugging me for a while, so here goes.

I live in SA and travel for business 2 -3 times a year to the UK and take in a few games.

In my opinion, all of LFC's problems have come from Houllier & Benitez - whom so many fans seem to idolise, but I have always disliked (main reason being - not playing attractive 'liverpool' football.)

Both these guys seemed to ignore british youngsters and were obsessed with foreigners and journeyman - most of whom were too lightweight and lacked heart. We never went after your A. Johnson's, Walcott's etc

We now have an academy crawling with foreign youngsters - who yes have talent - but will never make it in England. You might hate me, but Pacheco is the best example. He will be brilliant in Spain, but won't cut it here. Houllier & Benitez seemed to change everything away from what LFC was. This imo has been our problem. Yes we need 1 or 2 foreign stars, but we need to always have that core of committed local lads - that are good enough and understand what LFC is about (and won't cry and runaway because there isn't enough sunshine etc etc).

Hopefully Kenny can re-establish the indentity of our beloved club. Would love your thoughts guys (and Ed's)?

As for tranfer input - we snoozed and missed out on Johnson from Boro (I already knew he was special then) - so let's not miss out on Albrighton now. The two of them will be your ENG wingers for years to come.

{editor: You make a good point, I dont think it matters about Nationality though. You just need to explain what it means to play for LFC at an early age.}

15 Jan 2011 18:59:34
Agree ed but my point is suso is younger than adam great passer great skill and shelvey has great potential with a a number of first team experience so if adam comes they will get pushed back more and he will b bout 5/ 6 mill so we could use it on other postions nedded and were not taking a gamble on a player that is shining at blackpool! ! ! id rather use the money towards turan mata benga suarez even penieer lukaka llorente shawcross hazard these are the player we need and with the money some would probably come

{editor: I agree, a striker and wingers should be priority. About Suso, he is only young and I dont expect to see him in the first team for another 2-3 years.}

I've noticed a few of you getting on your high-horses about names being included at the end of posts. Nobody on here knows jack sh*t about the inside workings of LFC and who they will sign so what does it matter. I personally couldn't care less what you or any of the posters are called - nor should you careless about what my name is - I just care about the sanity/ stupidity of your opinion. Not if you claim to be someone who knows someone who drinks with Terry McDermott's plasterer etc etc

It looks like we got warnock now (on loan), much better than konchesky now all we need is a winger where i'd like us to buy either mata or elia up front i'd like either suarez, fabiano or vucinic and then our season will be back under way agen

Unfortunately mata has just signed a contract extension, so i cnt see him coming. Vucinic has also rejected talks between him and lpool.

This is how sad our situation has become. Last year I would be watching feet up the results of our top four rivals hoping they would drop points enabling us to get champ lg futball. Today I was hoping the bottom teams would loose keeping a gap between us.

I just hope our owners, manager feel the same way and bring out the chq book. I understand we won't attract the top players as we can't offer top european football but we need players that will take us back up to the next level. Its a bit like what Spurs did a couple of years back.

I totally agree with the person who said scott parker is a soulotion since monster went and alonso weve got worse and worse from the best def record to probably the worse we need a def/ mid to tackle not stand around like a fairy he has to protect the back 4. Parker might not play for england but everyone knows there all scared to drop gerrard barry and lampard and as for adam well hes had a couple of good games and everyone wants to sign him to me hes overweight and slower than me nan alright he can pass a ball he don't score alot ( 3 this season )parker has scored more than that and he protects his deffense plus hes done it for years

Everyone seems to want Honda to come - if you watched him play the other night ( apart from the lucky penalty ) he looked like a pure luxury player.

I watched the whole game, and to be honest apart from a few good touches, he was lazy - very little effort.

He'd fit perfectly into our side at the moment then.

Liverpool are one of two clubs who are heading the pack to sign highly-rated Southampton youngsters Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The Reds' director of football strategy Damien Comolli was seen watching the youngster play in Southampton 6-0 victory at Oldham Athletic and Liverpool are now thought to be ready to pounce - along with Manchester United, who had Sir Alex Ferguson in attendance - with Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal also believed to be interested.

Southampton are hesitant to allow the 17-year-old to leave and chairman Nicola Cortese released a statement concerning their academy graduate.

"Alex is not going to go anywhere, " said Cortese. "We're very proud to see the progress he's made in such a short period. We've got a great prospect for the future, but not the transfer market. He's very well looked after and I don't think he'd wish to be anywhere else than here"

However, Comolli's presence may suggest otherwise and it has been suggested the Saints may consider cashing in on the winger if they receive a bid in excess of £10million.

The midfielder has scored seven times in 28 appearances and has been compared to fellow Southampton academy graduate Theo Walcott, due to his build and pace. However, Oxlade-Chamberlain's father Mark Chamberlain, who played for England, believes the youngster has greater potential than Walcott demonstrated during his time at Southampton.

"His ability to cross the ball is good and he already has seven goals this season, " said Chamberlain. "He needs to work on getting more assists.

"I said at the start of the season that I rate him more highly than Walcott and everyone looked at me funny. But I've worked with both, they have their assets and attributes. But as an all-round technical player Alex has more to offer."

Today has been a fairly quiet day on the transfer front. But Liverpool legend Ian St John today insists that his old club must strengthen if they are to arrest their domestic decline.

Ahead of the Liverpool-Everton derby there are a few rumours on the radar . .

Liverpool have been advised to invest in Bayer Leverkusen's Stefan Kiessling by one of their former players.

Former Reds defender Glenn Hysen has spoken of how his former boss Kenny Dalglish should sign Kiessling, as he believes the Germany international would be 'exactly what Liverpool need'.

And according to German newspaper Bild, the player's representative, Ali Bulut, said: - Milan, Liverpool, Schalke 04 and Rubin Kazan have asked for the player in the recent weeks, TribalFootball report.

The 26-year-old has been recently ruled out with injury, but made his return against Borussia Dortmund, scoring the consolation goal in their 3-1 defeat.

Last season, he was prolific, scoring 21 goals in 35 games and finishing the second highest goalscorer in the Bundesliga; he has already notched up four in seven for this season.

Liverpool will make a bid for the player during the January transfer window, i we are to believe KopSource.

One of the more surprising rumours is about former Liverpool youngster
Stephen Warnock.

The Dail Mail claims he is poised to return to Liverpool after accepting he has little future at Aston Villa.

The England left-back has lost his place in the Villa first team and manager Gerard Houllier has indicated he is free to leave.

Blackburn Rovers were keen to sign the 29-year-old but it now seems that his destination will be Liverpool, reports the paper.

The Reds have asked to take Warnock on loan for the rest of the season and the player has apparently been told he can move to Anfield.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish views Warnock, who began his career with the Reds, as the answer to his team's left-back pro

15 Jan 2011 17:22:38
Why are so many people fixated on the idea that just because your team spends more money on a player than another team spends on there's, that the one costing the most will be the best fit into the team as a whole, ok, you may get the more talented individual sportsman, but will his ego fit into a team mentality? and as it has been said time after time no player should feel bigger than the club.
so why can't we get back to basics and bring through our own players through the ranks, just like the old days, and the lesser known talent from home and abroad, people who will give their all and more to wear the lfc colours, players who can play as a team, with pride. after all i won't write too many quotes from time past, but i will give one example, does anyone remember where a certain mr kevin keegan was signed from?. . . . . it was sc* thorpe united!
plus, remember before a player was worth £30m, he was fighting his way through the ranks somewhere, before fame inflated his ego, so when is the best time to get him?

Intresting reading had to use google translator

Attendance Strategy Director of Football, Damien Comolli, would limit the movement of Kenny Dalglish as Liverpool manager. However, Dalglish said that he did not question the presence of the French man.

Comolli, who came in November, will be a key component in deciding transfer policy and determine the long-term strategic blueprint for Liverpool.

Dalglish himself, as is known, are not new in the world of management. He even had time to feel the director sitting in a chair while at Glasgow Celtic. So, whether the presence of Comolli will limit the movement of King Kenny?

"Forget the talk of transfers and held the position of Damien. There is so much demand for the time owned a manager is so important to have someone who is actively organizing a lot of people, meet with team to provide reports on individual matches or the players, " said Dalglish as ESPN Star quoted.

"Conversation every day with people in the game and monitor the movement of the players, then report back to managers so that they can make informed decisions. I thought it was a fantastic help and I do not have a problem with Damien, " he added.

After two away games which led to the defeat, Dalglish will undergo its first home games this season as Liverpool manager. Steven Gerrard cs. will deal with their rivals, Everton, on Sunday (16 / 1).

Club owner John W. Henry is rumored to be watching the game directly. That would be the first opportunity for Dalglish met with Henry after he was appointed manager of Liverpool. Both, along with Comolli, will hold a meeting to discuss a few things, one transfer.

Although not going to play in the Merseyside derby on Sunday (16 / 1), Everton midfielder Tim Cahill, launched psywar to Liverpool. He claimed the arrival of new players is not the solution to the deterioration of the Reds.

Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish, requesting cash money to buy new players in the winter transfer window after being beaten Blackpool 1-2, defeat that made the Reds remain four points adrift of the relegation zone.

But, according to Cahill, who could have saved Liverpool today is the desire and fighting spirit from his players. Not the new faces, as desired Dalglish.

"Liverpool's a little disturbed at this time. But, we do not have concerns about what happened there or other clubs, " Cahill said in the Mirror Football.

"In games like this, you should make sure you give everything - it depends on the ethos and morale. At Everton, in the most difficult moments, when everything is not in your favor, the spirit that's what saved us, " he concluded.

Cahill could only enliven the Merseyside derby to-215 via television,
Liverpool coach, Kenny Dalglish, reportedly will meet with club owner, John W. Henry, and asked him to provide funds to rebuild and save Liverpool's Anfield squad this season.

The Reds get through difficult times since the start of the season, in which they had plunged into the relegation zone. Meanwhile, the defeat they experienced lately to make the Reds just four points adrift of the danger zone they've ever experienced.

However, changes in the managerial team to which Dalglish to replace Roy Hodgson is expected to bring improvements did not bring instant change. It was seen after the Merseyside team suffered two defeats in their two games under the leadership of the Scottish coach.

Currently, The Mirror said the 59-year-old coach was going to ask for funds when he met with the owner of the club, where he hopes to bring a midfielder to play with captain Steven Gerrard in midfield the Reds.

Also rumored that King Kenny wanted to bring in a striker Fernando Torres to give a rival on the front lines that can be paired together with the Spaniard, or replace them when Torres can not play.

Sory if i feel we need to go out and spend big on a player or two to improve our team and try to put right what is wrong. .

I personally want us to spend in this window. I also feel we must spend in this window and if you think that is impossible due to it being Jan and the myth that you can't purchase quality until the summer then you must be more deluded than me.

"Just a thought. . . Halfway through the transfer window and we haven'y even got a sniff of a solid transfer target! I only have one thing to say and that is WTF"

How much movement has there been of real quality during the past few Jan transfer windows? Do you want to go out and sign rubbish? Have chelsea signed anyone (same boat as us) United, Spurs? Most players of qaulity are essential to their teams so unlikely to be released and the ones that are available will take a bit of work. Look at this whole Beckham loan dragging out for weeks and rednapp's the master. It seems like this site is visited by too many people who have spent a lot of time playing fantasy football leagues. LFC exists in the real world.

If you spend your whole day staring at computer/ tv screens waiting for news about LFC no wonder every hour with no news is torture - again, the real world doesn't move at the pace Sky Sports News edits its programmes. My advice is to go and get some fresh air.

Ok big shot, lets see if they're interested in coming. If they are lets see if NESV are prepared to stump up the necessary folding stuff to seal the deal. I doubt it very much, hence the attractiveness of Charlie Adam. I'm not arguing with you about this, my overriding concerns are the lack of activity in this transfer window to date the indications that potential targets are falling by the wayside due to a mix of the NESV acquisition criteria and their reluctance to stump up. Moreover, its all well and done professing to be knowledgable on the European game, although its not necessarily the case that European will adapt to the English premiership or adapt to the English lifestyle. So, with that in mind, back to the Charlie Adam argument!

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

Ok, how much do you value Adam at? Because both Banega and Sahin would be available around the 10m mark. Hardly a big splash in the water. Both would have a larger resale value, making them very attractive for NESV.

Yes it is always a risk that a certain player will not adapt to the Premiership, Sahin however speaks a good level of English, has played both in Holland, and Germany for a good few years. It is widely accepted that the Bundelsliga is the neatest top level league to the Premership for pace, intensity and physicality of the games. Banega in my opinion would be perfectly suited to the Premiership.

Back to Adam however, one has to wonder why he never made it at r*ngers. Why when he left them did he go to Blackpool, who at the time where a poor Championship team. I have the feelin that Adam needs to be the main man in the team, he needs to be the big fish. If he was to come to Anfield, he will be a small fish, in a very big pond. We have enough of them in the likes of Konchesky, Kyrgiakos etc. We need better players than Adam in our squad. I would rather see Shelvey play instead of wasting money on Charlie Adam. K3

I only wish the ed had of posted my full post, which included my original post, ant then your response. Your response was directed at me because you posted my comment before your response. So i havent 'come through the back door.' Also i think if you knew anything about football on the continent you would know that both Sahin and Benega are more than just potential. Sahin is running the show for Dortmund, who are sitting pretty at the top of the Bundesliga. Banega cannot gte a game with Valencia, purely because of the manager, when he does play, he oozes class. These are class players, better than Adam, and would walk straight into our team. Like i said before hand, Adam isn't a bad player, he's just not a great player. We have too many squad players at Liverpool, not enough great players, which is exactly our problem. K3

{Editor Note: I wasn't asked for an excuse as to why Poulsen played. So I don't know how I was talking the brown stuff like you said. I made some viable points but I see you avoided them, wonder why eh? Anyway, ask Kenny why he picked Poulsen. But picking Poulsen doesn't automatically end all hopes of Kenny being a success. Funny how you say I'm talking nonsense, yet you keep asking me for my opinions and asking questions!}

Where in my post did you see that we should sign Xabi Alonso back. Thats right, it doesnt. So my friend I doubt it is you who needs to get into the real world. I was merely compairing the two players, not saying we should sign either of them. If we where to sign someone in that role it would clearly be a younger player in the mould of Sahin or Banega, not that im saying Adam is old, he is only 25/ 26 I think. But these other two would fit NESV's policy of buying young talented players with a potential increased sell on potential. K3

Maybe not your post but somebody my initial response was to somebody stating exactly that and you've come up through the back door and taken things out of context. Well next time you extrapolate desired text to have a pop, read the full post. I was making the point that a play maker who moves the ball forward, similar to the Alonso role, is out there in the form of Charlie Adam. If NESV stump up £30 mill for a play making midfielder, i'll eat my hat. We don't need potential just now, we need somebody who is doing the business and fast in order to help us stay in the premiership.

I only wish the ed had of posted my full post, which included my original post, ant then your response. Your response was directed at me because you posted my comment before your response. So i havent 'come through the back door.' Also i think if you knew anything about football on the continent you would know that both Sahin and Benega are more than just potential. Sahin is running the show for Dortmund, who are sitting pretty at the top of the Bundesliga. Banega cannot gte a game with Valencia, purely because of the manager, when he does play, he oozes class. These are class players, better than Adam, and would walk straight into our team. Like i said before hand, Adam isn't a bad player, he's just not a great player. We have too many squad players at Liverpool, not enough great players, which is exactly our problem. K3

Well if we are looking to stay in mid table mediocrity then I'd agree with you but I'm aiming abit higher myself an looking for Liverpool to start challenging again, the only way we are going to do that is to be looking to sign players a class above C. Adam. There's no point replacing our midfielders with slightly better ones. We need top players to get us back to the top.

EXCLUSIVE: Anderlecht Chief Says Romelu Lukaku Is Headed For Premier League But It Will Take £25.2 Million To Land Him In Summer

* General manager Van Holsbeeck says top 15 clubs in world interested
* Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Real Madrid head queue
* Anderlecht resigned to selling Lukaku in summer window
* Club working with striker's family and agent to find best career move

Anderlecht have slapped a £25.2 million price tag on Belgian teenage sensation Romelu Lukaku, the club's general manager has revealed.

In an exclusive interview with Goal.com UK, Herman van Holsbeeck claimed the "top 15 clubs in the world" are monitoring the 17-year-old striker, with the queue headed by Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Anderlect say Lukaku will not be sold this month but are resigned to losing him in the summer when he will have turned 18 and finished his schooling.

Speaking at Anderlecht's winter training camp at the La Manga Club resort in Spain, Van Holsbeeck said: "If there is a team coming with �20m (£16.9m) we will keep him. He has a contract until 2013 but we have the option for two more years."Our price will be around �30m (£25.3m). If you ask for between �20m and �30m for a footballer in Europe there are a maximum of 15 teams who can pay this amount. These 15 teams are all interested in Romelu Lukaku but it depends sometimes on what resources the team has at the time. Everybody knows Romelu and everybody wants Romelu but some teams don't need him at the moment.

"We received one offer from an English club three days before the end of the August transfer period. It was �10m immediately and �10m in one year. We would not accept the offer because we want to keep the player."

Anderlecht have not disclosed the identity of the club that made the offer, which was worth £17.5m based on exchange rates at the time, although Van Holsbeeck denied that it was Tottenham, as has been reported.

Most of the leading clubs around Europe are monitoring Lukaku's situation but the Belgian club believe his most likely destination is England.

Most of the leading clubs around Europe are monitoring Lukaku's situation but the Belgian club believe his most likely destination is England.

Van Holsbeeck explained: "I think he will go to the Premier League. For him the team is in England. We have some managers who send people to inform us about the interest. It depends on the offers. We know that teams like Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool are interested in him and that they follow the player.

"There is some interest from Real Madrid but we know they are interested in every good young player. What for us is the right club? The Premier League clubs from the UK are the biggest clubs in the world with a lot of money. In Spain you have only Real Madrid and Barcelona who have big money. In Italy there is also the financial crisis. Or he goes to Germany.

"We have a player with the capacity to play in the UK, where you need to be strong and fast. There are teams who can pay this [£25m] for really top players. I think he has the capacity to play there and it is the best competition in the world."

Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has openly admitted his admiration for a player who has continually broken records since making his Anderlecht debut only 11 days after his 16th birthday. The 6ft 3in forward, who specialises as a lone central striker, became the youngest ever top scorer in Belgium last season with 15 league goals, and his 76 appearances in all competitions since breaking into the first team have yielded 33 goals.

Given that Lukaku has a release clause in his contract that will be triggered in 2013, Anderlecht accept that the striker is probably in his final season at the club.

"At the end of the season it will be difficult for us to keep him, " said Van Holsbeeck. "I know he was a supporter of Chelsea when he was a young boy. If Manchester United, Manchester City or Tottenham come in for him, it is also an interesting prospect.

"In the negotiations with the parents and management team everything is clear. We are like partners in this deal. Sometimes there is a fight but here things are very clear with everybody.

"There are good agreements. We want to do it since the beginning with Romelu and his family. We will discuss the team and see what is the best for all the parties. It depends on how the discussions are going with the club. Maybe the club let him play for six more months or one more year at Anderlecht."

Van Holsbeeck admitted that it was unrealistic for Anderlecht to hang on to Lukaku for much longer.

"If you have this kind of talent you want to keep him and do something in the Champions League, " he explained. "But this is life in modern football. If you have a young player in the youth academy and there is a team who will pay �30m when you have a budget of �35m per year, if you don't sell you are a bad manager. Our club is a company and there are people who invest money.

"At this moment that is the only way we can keep our level as the biggest and top club in Belgium. If you can make young players better and sell them for big money you can do more things. We want to build a bigger stadium. For Champions League we only have 20,000 people. Every match is sold out.

"We are busy now building a new training centre for the youth and first teams. This is my eighth season here. We have been champions four times and we have been in the Champions League four times but the level in the Champions League for us is a little bit too high."

That makes no sense. If NESV sold Liverpool for much more than they paid for it, it would suggest they got it on the cheap, thus supporting H&G's case. In short, they cannot gain by selling LFC without substatially improving the club first.

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

Not at all, the acquisition price is coincidental. H&G have issue with RBS, who enforced the terms of the finance deal in order to redeem their exposure. If NESV sold for £500 mill next week, it would probably help H&G case with RBS but would carry no implications for NESV.

The january window to me is about bringing some freshness to the sqaud. . .i just think things have gone stale. . we definately need some better players to get us out of the mess were in. .our defence needs a central defender and a left back. .our centre of midfield needs some steel and guile and we badly need pace and creativity on BOTH wings. . and nando needs help. . he has been up front on his own since he came to anfield. .the fact remains that we have players in our team that just are'nt fit enough to wear the red shirt. .and i hope from from the meeting with kenny that NESV realise that our club needs to bring in and ship out a lot of players. .this of course cannot happen in one window. .but we can make a start. . look for the bargain buys in january. .taye taiwo (£4/ 5m), charlie adam (£5/ 6m), lukas podolski(£5/ 6m), matt jarvis (£4/ 5m), mathieu flamini (loan/ £6m option to buy) lass diara(loan), . . then maybe do some deals involving cash plus player. .suarez(£12m plus babel). shawcross(£8m plus kyrgiakos). .and get rid of some of these players like alberto aquilani back to italy, kujt gone too old and has no first touch. degen.insua, poulsen, jovanovic, ngog, spearing, are only passengers. . . .g.johnson wants to leave so go. (£10/ 12m). . king kenny wants the ball on the deck and the team to keep the ball. .and attack. .he needs the players to be able to play that way. .very few of the current crop have the ability and confidence to play in that manner. . you could name them on one hand. .the summer is the time to be looking for the "stars" because you have a better chance of getting them. . what we have to do start building is a squad. .the sooner everyone at lfc accepts this the better. .nesv message: do something about it before its too late. . remember leeds utd. .too good to go down. and we know how that ended up. .the table is'nt lying. .just compare our squads to the teams in the top six or seven. .scary. but true. spurs have better players in reserve than we have in our first team. . that is shocking and hurtful and shamefull but true. what would shankly, paisley and fagan make of that. . agree or disagree anyone with the above. ??

You have to wonder if some posters on here give any thought to what they are actually writing. In order for NESV to make a quick profit, they must improve LFC as a product (ie better players). They would not have bothered to go through all the hassle of buying the club to sell for a small profit, especially when you include the added risk they face if the previous owners are successful in claiming damages. There is no short term profit in Liverpool for NESV. They are here for the long term, because they want the club, and Liverpool will be better off for it.

In order for NESV to make a profit we need to be successful, which will mean them buying players ding bat. NESV did say any transfers would be made at the end of the window knowing that's when they were coming over. There not stupid and maybe they didn't want to buy players in Jan but things have changed and the team needs new faces. If there was host of people after buying us then I'm sure they would have tried in the summer. We need good first team players and I'm sure they will step upto the plate and buy some in the next 2wk.

Ed, as a supporter for over 30 years, this will sound abit harsh but you do talk some rubbish.
I read your claims before about liverpool being able to attract the best and is still one of the biggest clubs in the world which is absolute rubbish.
If we are interested in a real quailty player, we are already not likely to get him because of our position and no trophys for 4 years. Also if a united or madrid are interested we don't even get a sniff because they have a proven record of success over the last 5 years. All i can say is that we will struggle to attract the best and be succesful for the next few years! {ed's note - how do you know that? I can tell you that you are wrong, that is why players around the world, such as Honda and Turan to name two, have spent the last few months talking about how much they want to move to Liverpool.

Since Xabi alonso was sold liverpool has gone downhill. .

Xabi was the one with the spark and great ability to longball he was my favorite player in liverpool , i am pretty sad he left . .

So i would say Buy xabi at around 30 mil , maybe r.madrid would agree and xabi would love to return :(. . xabi is the player who could turn liverpool into a great team again imo. .

We don't need to go over old ground, and we don't need to stump up £30 mill. We can get an equivalent talent in Charlie Adams for £4mill but even that's prooving difficult as nobody seems to want to come to us.

xabi alonso was probably the greatest player ever to grace Anfield (technically) Charlie Adam! ! stop it
We are a mid table club at best at the moment , lets not dream of mid table players to keep us there!

Why would NESV sell for a small profit?

First of all if they spend alot of cash in the first few years they can get liverpool back on track , which will get incomes from

Premier league 1st place(possible)
Cup wins ( Fa Cup , League cup , Champions league income)

And i believe there trying to setup a system similar to arsenal. Develop youth players and sell them at there peak (Keeping some influental players) Which would mean by buying a youth player for 5 mil they can earn profits over 20-30 mil for a player if scouted correctly.

So why would they sell when they have a goldmine in there hands. all they need to do is a bit of spending to begin with

I read this site regularly but this is my first post.
I'd just like to say to the Editor that called those saying Warnocks return on ssn are idiots, I too was watching this morning around 9:15am when they reported that Villa were interested in Figueroa as a replacement for Warnock who they have allowed to rejoin Liverpool on loan for the rest of the season with a view to a permanent deal in the summer. Those mentioning it are in fact correct.
Dan {ed's note - I have not seen anything on SSN saying that, or on Sky Sports in general, but I never got up that early so I stand corrected. I just assumed it was yet another person making up carp to waste everyone's time.}

Not a problem at all, I appreciate that many people do make up rubbish on this site, similarly people post what they may have been informed about only for a deal not to happen for reasons unknown. It's the way of the transfer market in general and I guess why we all come on this site, because we enjoy the possibilities!
It is imperative that NESV, Kenny and Comolli sit down this weekend to agree and hopefully finalise some transfers this week during their visit. Personally I would be very happy with a striker, at least one winger and possibly a defender. I would also take Lassana Diarra over Charlie Adam. Only has 6 months left on his contract, wants to come back to the Premier League and could be got for sensible money. Premier League experience an added bonus.

Just a thought people to add to the transfers debate. Could it be that, with the previous owners taking the club to the court for compensation regarding the value of the club when it was sold, that the current owners are quite happy to let us stagnate until after the the court case? The arguement will be that the club's playing assets aren't as valuable as the cowboys think otherwise we would be challenging for honours. Appreciate that January is notoriously bad for transfer anyway (high transfer fees, clubs reluctant to release their players etc) but, with scouting system well established around the world, you would think 2/ 3 deals would have been already done. Not a criticism of the FSG just throwing something into the melting pot.
I also think that the owners know this season would be transistional - consolidate league position, assess personnel/ identify who to shift out in the summer and, in the meantime, work on replacements/ additions to the club staff, first team and squad.

Ed, can we have dropdown menus to navigate this site please? Gets a bit frustrating having to go to different pages to find the links to other pages. Thanks in advance

{Editor's Note: The previous owners are not going to take the club to court. They will likely take action against RBS, and may well have a case. I will apss on your thought about the menus.}

Just a bit of fun
To the tune of Waltzing Matilda

Once a Man United fan, went to watch a football match
He listened to the wit from the Scouse army
And he sat and he sighed, and then that poor Man U fan cried
Why have these Scousers got more humour than me

MORE SENSE OF HUMOUR
MORE SENSE OF HUMOUR
WHY HAVE THESE SCOUSERS GOT MORE HUMOUR THAN ME

Cos your thick as a brick
You're a second generation skip
That's why the Scousers have more humour than you

So that Man United fan sits there
And he starts to think a bit
He thought he'd make a song
That his mates could enjoy
So he thought up a song
And it didn't take him very long

Surely the owners will be able to spend the £40m that was previously being used to service the H&G debt. They also will have money from our commercial income activities such as the Standard Chartered agreement and the money for playing in the Premier League. This does not even include the private wealth of NESV.

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

Based on what we've seen so far I will remain sceptical until they show us the colour of their money. I have been dubious from the outset. I noticed a post on here yesterday alleging that there has been an article in some American publication saying that if NESV need to, they will flip Liverpool for short term gain. John Henry's business career is engulfed in deals and business transactions based on classic leverage principles. This fits with the unearthing of a 'little gem' increase worth whilst keeping costs to a minimum to enable enough scope for leverage due to lenders risk averse lending criteria. NESV fail to realise that you need a team of quality to filter the 'little gems' into and grow them into the proven articles. Given the state of LFC, which has arisen through years of neglect and selling high/ buying low, any talent we have in the youth may end up being mismanaged and squandered.

These comments are getting worse by the hour - all doom-and-gloom.

I'm made up we're not in citehs position, buying for the sake of it. I sort of enjoy it to be honest, not blowing money like certain managers have - it puts things into perspective. As much as I hate to say it, Ginger boy over the park has had to do it for seasons, and has bought well. Low transfer funds is not the end of the world, and we don't know the true figure anyway, but in a way it's good for Liverpool FC, and for the fans. We've needed a reality check anyway, and at least now the opportunity arises for young, british and hopefully 'local scouse' talent to come through i.e Kelly.

P.s I'll blert all over if Kenny can entice Stevie Heighway back (which wouldn't suprise me).

Not as such rumours but players that i think we should be looking at and looking to offload.

Taiwo - we could get him on a cut price of around 5million due to his contract expiring this summer solid left back and has a thunderous shot a bit like Riise.

M'vila - Macherano type player, young and can do a job for us. And better than players we have in the middle of the park at the moment. This would also free Gerrard to get forward and create more. Would cost around 15m

Turan - Class act that would give us our much needed width and creates and scored goals also would give it his all as he suppots Liverpool.

Suarez - would grab us a lot of much needed goals young and class.

Also play Martin Kelly centre back, quick good in the air great tackler much better option than the greek. he would also cover johnson because of his pace.

sell of deadwood like, koncheskey, poulsen, greek.

Why is it so difficult for some people to grasp the transfer window principal? Is it so hard to comprehend that there is little movement right up to the last moment as clubs try to force the lowest possible price? Its simple business protocol. Unless you are Man City and just don't care what it costs to get your players that is! RED77

Not just that but waiting allows the selling team to use the player right up until the end of the window. The selling club uses the player whilst negotiating the best price possible for the player

i must say i'm a bit concerned we are not going to sign some players this transfer window, we need a proven striker, left sided winger or wing back & a ball winner in midfield. But what we need most is SPIRIT & GRIT to many players in are squad are just taking the money. . .

I read this site regularly but this is my first post.
I'd just like to say to the Editor that called those saying Warnocks return on ssn are idiots, I too was watching this morning around 9:15am when they reported that Villa were interested in Figueroa as a replacement for Warnock who they have allowed to rejoin Liverpool on loan for the rest of the season with a view to a permanent deal in the summer. Those mentioning it are in fact correct.
Dan {ed's note - I have not seen anything on SSN saying that, or on Sky Sports in general, but I never got up that early so I stand corrected. I just assumed it was yet another person making up crap to waste everyone's time.}

I heard this early on today as well. Deal already gone through though nothing on offical LFC website to confirm. I personally think this is a good move. Warnock is a solid defender and not bad on the ball he has lots of energy and a tough tackler. We should never have let the lad go. He loves the club and will add more passion and commitment as well as quality. What do you think Ed

The sponsership deals are worth alot of money, its safe to say Manchester united future looks bright but don't worry in 2/ 3 years you will be challening at the top again i have no doubt.The reason Manchester united fans come on here is because you lot have hit panic mode.

no in all honesty i think Kenny will sort it out, i just think he does need time as he hasnt been in competitive football for a long period but a football genuus like him does not just lose it.

i think warnock is a waste of time, the old saying been there done that. . else why not get cisse back up front? i think we need a good old fashioned work horse up front like carroll, i think cole should be geven chance to work in middle of park with stevie G, ryan babel on the left as i think he will come good with kenny sorting him out and kuyt pushed to right side of park.

skertel and agger in centre defence, wayne bridge would have been good on left back and micah richards on right.

I do think were capable but we need players like joe cole to light the spark. you can say everything about j cole but he does have good first touches and flicks. . he just needs confidence

With a starting 11 like this : Reina , Kelly , Wilson , Agger, Aurelio , Johnson , Meireles , Lucas/ Gerrard , J.cole / Babel , Torres , Ngog

then i do think we can do a pass and move game. .

So much criticism on ngog aswell but ngog does try and i like his tactical play even though he usually has no game sense at all.

{Editor Note: Really don't know what you're going on about. Hodgson's tactics were negative. He sat deep, never played to win only not to lose, and we never played football we just hoofted it. Against Blackpool we tried to play passing football, we tried to get forward and make something happen, which we wouldn't have done under Hodgson in this game. I am "living it real", as you say. But if you think Hodgson did a good job of trying to attack you most certainly aren't. Kenny had hours to prepare for the Manc game, and one training session for the Blackpool game, on top of only 5 days in the job and already we looked better and more positive. Says it all really.}

What was the excuse for picking that idiot Poulsen then editor! ! just proves even the editors talk shait at times and not just us the posters. ;-)

{Editor Note: I wasn't asked for an excuse as to why Poulsen played. So I don't know how I was talking the brown stuff like you said. I made some viable points but I see you avoided them, wonder why eh? Anyway, ask Kenny why he picked Poulsen. But picking Poulsen doesn't automatically end all hopes of Kenny being a success. Funny how you say I'm talking nonsense, yet you keep asking me for my opinions and asking questions!}

Ed I agree Hodgson was far too negative and had to go, yes Kenny will play more attacking and passing game. The real question here is are the players we have got good enough? I think we need 5 top class players that can play the way Kenny wants, but are we going to get them?

{Editor Note: You have to remember that 10 of our players (Aurelio, Skrtel, Agger, Lucas, Gerrard, Torres, Reina, Kuyt and to a lesser extent Babel and N'Gog) mounted a title challenge not too long ago so it's clear we have something there.

Having given most of the squad a chance after the united game and the blackpool game, kenny will pick his strongest eleven. Joe cole is yet to feature in any game and now clarke is assistant, he is likely to get the nod against everton in an interchangeable role with babel.

Team as follows

Reina

Kelly Skrtl Agger Johnson

Kuyt Lucas Meireles Babel

Cole Torres

Expect Pacheco who impressed in the last reserve game to get on the field at some point, jonjo also likely to come on if meireles can't keep up with the pace of the derby

Everyone knows the squad is weak and lack quality in certain areas and when Kenny says he is happy with squad I pray he is saying something differnt behind the scenes. I don't expect anyone to be signed until the last week of the window like always with big club signings in January. . . . .But please please please lets hope we don't spend another tansfer deadline day scanning all the news sites only to be left disappointed. . if Commoli is there for consultation on transfers then surely he too should be whispering in the yonks ears about backing us.

Liverpool did show some interest in McGeady two years ago but I am led to believe his off-pitch antics put them off. Apparently once he's had a few (and he apparently likes more than a few) he becomes a bit of a handful. He also wasn't averse to partying to the small hours the night before a match and it was also not unknown for him to be tired at training.

Whether his personal discipline has improved I do not know.

Ed i suppose you are correct, i, like nearly all fans are panicking that this transfer window will go by with no activity. It's all very well signing young talent for the future, but surely the best policy is sort out the first team first, then focus on the future.

For me the worste move was letting Crouch go he could do it all - collect the ball, hold off tackles, pass it to a red shirt, and score spectacular goals. He even learned to head a few goals too. Big mistake letting him go.

Good morning all.Just on the Mcgeady post.I posted before he went to Russia that we should get him, I think he went for 10million or so that was for nothing for an exciting young winger who as the potential to become world class, the lad has confidence in his ability and with some work on his game ie his final ball he could flourish at Anfield.I've been at games at Celtic park and Croke park(Ireland played there for a while) and the boy has talent, he has improved already in the 6 months that he has been in Russia and is well worth a gamble and the season is over in Russia I think.
Any toughts fan's and Ed.

Hi ed whats all this about stephen warnock coming to us on loan? And with the news about benzema joining villa on loan he is surely the type of player we should be looking at! I think that if we wait until the last week of the transfer window it could backfire on us because teams don't like to lose players when they don't have much time to replace him, we could end up with a overpriced snap buys and in deep deep trouble come the end of the season. Although harry redknapp always seems to find a little gem at the 11th hour so fingers crossed. Is there any truth in our interest in aiden mcgeady (spelling) ed?

I can't believe how many people want Warnock back. The guy is a hack. He would only be a little better then Konchesky if anything and worse then Aurelio. We need WORLD CLASS. I'm glad Kenny has come out and said as much. We will only be signing players who can make a difference and help us win games. Warnock doesn't solve our left back problem so he won't be signed.

I pointed out that both Ceantrao and Taiwo were available for LB, but does anyone view Newcastle's Tioto as a possible great holding midfielder, able to breakup play and spread a pass?. . KK will have resumed his search, in my opinion these are the players;
Taiwo/ Centrao Lb forget Warnock
Samba - CB will command respect and at less cost
Chamberlain - winger with a great future
Lukaku - Big, young and worldbeater
Demba Ba - Big not so young and will be a steal
Scott Parker-perfect foil for Gero
Tiote - young aggressive Diarra/ Makelele type- he is a loan signing we can sneek in a get him
Centrao - not SIGNED therefore available
Klose - veteran striker will always get a goal
Adebayor - simply available but he will prefer to start games, doubt he wants to leave EPL
Arda Turan - lifelong LFC fan has pleaded for a move
Honda - brilliant utility player who is humble and hardworking (not like Kuyt) and he scores

KK has to give a chance to SUSO, Pacheco, Ecclestone, get Kosch back to Fulham and get our boys back(Della Valle) Play Javo more, move Johnson up to RW, Joe cole can only play left wing not mid,
Suso is the way forward if you have not seen him play you are missing a lot.
To all Reds lets give the best loudest cheer to our Team and KK like we all did at the Manure game, soon it will be our time

Derby game isn't going to be difficult to predict after blackpool did the double over lfc.
Lfc have championship grade players on fat wages that's all. They don't brake sweat for the shirt nor do they have any interest in the club that pays their wages. Gone are the days when wearing the shirt meant something important to any player at lfc. The wages are more important these days.

15 Jan 2011 06:41:20
In my opinion, we only signing a couple of cheap players this Jan. Were not going to finish higher than 7th. I don't believe Torres will leave, but I do think he will demand some big signings. In the summer I thnk only Torres, Reina and our young talent are the only ones who are 'not for sale'. Out with the old ie Stevie G and in with the new. I may be dreaming but 2 quality strikers, 2 quality wingers, a new cb partnership along with wilson, ayala and kelly, a midfiled maestro. the whole lot needs an overhaul and the man to do it should and I think will be Andre Villa Boas (im not demanding kennys head on a plate i think Boas is the way to go) championship manager needs to happen at Liverpool come May

I am I the only one who smiles and laughs when Kenny does his press confrences now. . rather than look through fingers hiding behind a pillow with roy, you find yourself shouting at the tv saying go on kenny, as you hear the reporters laughing nervously trying to come up with a question where they don't get told in a very subtle way they are complete idiots, they've not done their homework, and if there are any rumours. . kenny ain't saying them!
personnaly, if it does go kinda tits up, and KK doesn't get the job full time, i think he should be employed as head of PR, because in less than 2 weeks, the press are afraid of him, opponents nervous, sir alex praising. . and every football pundit won't sit on the fence with Kenny. I'm sorry Roy. .nice man you might be, but respect gets earnt, and KK managed to get that 20 years ago, well before walking into the job this week.

If in training KK turns round and says. . you are the best passer of a football i've ever seen, i might not have hit a barn door for 7 years. . but if he says i can do it, i'll become the best barn door hitter the world has ever seen :)

Kenny Dalglish will ask Liverpool's principal owner, John W Henry, to provide the funds for as many as four January signings in an attempt to rectify the club's desperately disappointing campaign when the pair meet in the next 48 hours.

Though the Scot has offered his squad staunch support in public since he replaced Roy Hodgson at Anfield - insisting after Wednesday's 2-1 defeat at Blackpool that the players already at his disposal "look good enough" to move Liverpool away from the relegation zone - he is convinced he must use the transfer window to bolster his resources if he is to have any chance of salvaging the season.

Henry arrived on Merseyside on Thursday to begin a 10-day visit and will doubtless seek talks with his caretaker manager as a matter of urgency. The American can expect the 59 year-old to request that Fenway Sports Group, the club's parent company, makes substantial funds available this month, despite the uncertainty over his position and Liverpool's repeated insistence that January is a "difficult" time to buy.

Dalglish - together with Damien Comolli, the club's director of football strategy - is thought to harbour hopes that as many as four senior reinforcements could be drafted in, with a left-back, a wide player and a striker top of his agenda.

Luis Suarez, the Ajax striker, has emerged as the most likely target for the last of these positions, with the player's club minded to sell him - providing they receive an offer in excess of £18 million. Sources in Holland have confirmed that a bid from Liverpool, who have watched the player intensely over the last few months, is anticipated.

As well as Suarez, the Ajax left-back Urby Emanuelson is believed to be a target, while Lille duo Gervinho and Eden Hazard - both of whom can play either as an orthodox striker or in a wide position - have attracted Liverpool's attention. Moves for Yann M'Vila and Sylvain Marveaux, both of Rennes, are expected to wait until the summer.

Ashley Young, of Aston Villa, and Charles N'Zogbia, the Wigan winger, have also been discussed, though it is feared the former's asking price may prove prohibitive, while the DW Stadium club have received no offers for the latter. Hamburg's Eljero Elia and Anderlecht's Romelu Lukaku are also under consideration.

Dalglish's determination to sign a left-back to replace Paul Konchesky may also lead to a return to Anfield for Stephen Warnock, with the club believed to be considering a loan offer with a view to a permanent move in the summer.

What the Scot will seek to learn from Henry, though, is what level of funding is likely to be available, as he admitted on Thursday. "I can always make a request [for money], but it might not always be accepted, " said Dalglish. "I have never broached the subject of money being available with the owners. If there is a possibility of someone coming in then we will cross that bridge when we come to it."

FSG has made it clear it will not set a hard and fast transfer budget, preferring to judge each case on its own merit, but with just 17 days of the window remaining, the club cannot afford to waste time. It also remains uncertain as to what extent Dalglish must trim his squad before he seeks additional recruits. FSG is unimpressed with Liverpool's already bloated wage bill and is unlikely to permit its exponential growth simply for short-term gain.

Saleable assets, though, are in short supply at Anfield. Konchesky cannot be sold without dispensation from Fifa as he has already played for two clubs this season, while the wages earned by the likes of Christian Poulsen, Ryan Babel and Milan Jovanovic will make them hard to move on.

15 Jan 2011 05:13:53

If Suarez Joins Tottenham it may well be a blessing in disguise for Liverpool due to the fact that Pavyluchenko drops down the pecking order and lets face it he aint got much further to drop.
I rate him more than I rate Suarez the guy is perfect can't believe Harry blags him so much in my oppinion he is Spurs most gifted out and out striker sack Defoe he is plastic compared to Pavy.
Every time I watch him and that is a lot due to the fact me missus dad idolises Spurs I see him bang in a goal.
At first when he wasnt getting a game at all he would come on and just show up the other forwards and still I can't believe he hasnt earnt his place.

I for one would rather Pavy than Suarez what do you think we could get him for ed and I know you aint gunna say im chattin s*it cos if you or anyone does then I suggest you watch him a little closer.

Manchester united is the biggest most popular football club in the world its value is 1.5 billion we have around 150 Million in the bank the debt has been reduced to 500 million, there is a lot of young talent at the club, Smalling, Evans, Fabio, Rafael, Anderson, Cleverly, Bebe, Obertan, Gibson, Welbeck, Chicharito, Macheda, Nani and Rooney all 25 or under not to mention the players in the reserves.
The sponsership deals are worth alot of money, its safe to say Manchester united future looks bright but don't worry in 2/ 3 years you will be challening at the top again i have no doubt.The reason Manchester united fans come on here is because you lot have hit panic mode.

SWP is looking to be close to a move to Fulham. I find it unlikely that we'd be looking to sign him - his wages are ridiculous and he's not of the age bracket that the club are looking for.

The Mail is reporting that Kenny will look to secure enough funds for up to 4 new players when he meets with the owners over the next couple of days.

Obviously, it's anyones guess who these players are. I'd fully expect Adam to be one of them, but I highly doubt that SWP will be - perhaps Suarez (I have doubts that this transfer will happen, but the news seems to be hotting up about him).

I'd love to see Warnock return from Villa. I'd heard that he was looking to move and I think he'd be the perfect candidate for the LB spot. Not sure how much Villa would want, but - if the player is looking to move - I'm sure we could negotiate a suitable fee.

Alright Ed. People are saying that were not making signings this window but surely the owners know that the squad needs some investment. As business men then the first thing they should know is that you have to speculate to accumalate. He must be aware that the team in nice words is s* t. They brought in damien comolli as something to do with transfers but if we don't make any then he's gettin paid for doin nothing an they should of saved there money and took him on towards the end of the season. I'd take swp cos unlike super dirk he will run at players and that's his natural position.

Good to hear ed,
Positive thinking - just what we all need to do.
Gerrard will never be better than Kenny until he wins the league as a player with us 2 or 3 times (which is highly unlikely now so late in his career).
Kenny of course has also won the European Cup 3 times.
Cant see Stevie better that either, And don't think Steve has the ability to win leagues as manager.
But who knows?! Funny game, football as someone once famously said.
But Kenny will be King forever i feel.
He'll be the whole bloody monarchy if he gets us back up to top of the league!
For now, for me Shanks is the clear number 1.
Bob Paisley & Kenny at joint number 2 as Kenny was a great player as well as manager.
No disrespect to Bob or Bill, but i pray to. .whoever that Kenny goes down in history as our greatest.
But whatever happens, he will always be King to me.
Any opinions on our top 3 legends Ed?
Or anyone?
Cheers,
Kev. {ed's note - to me Sir Bob Paisley is the greatest ever, he even surpassed Shanks (just) because of his ruthlessness. Shanks found it very difficult to get rid of players that had been great servants. For me the King is number 3, though it must be said that Ian Callaghan must be very close behind him in 4th. Or rather I should say was very close behind him until Kenny stepped back into the breach in the club's hour of need. Who else would have jumped at the chance even at the risk of destroying their own reputation? Who else would have taken the job on not knowing if he would be able to buy a player to improve the squad?}Simple answer Ed mate - Nobody except Kenny.
He's either got something up his sleeve or he's taking a risk with his reputation. Hope it's the thing up his sleeve, but don't think Kenny cares about
his reputation at the same time as he's a bigger man than that & would probably die for this club in my opinion. So he would risk all he's built up to save us.
Good point about Cally by the way - what a servant!
