Liverpool to sign Aguero for £50 milion pounds this Summer.
They will use the money they recieved from Chelsea for Torres. 100% going to happen. Remember the name

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

What name? You havn't put one.

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

He must mean Aguero, he must of thought we had all forgotten about him.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 23:16:31
Ed i think your trying to use reverse physcoligy saying that aguero won't sign, but really its already done. .

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 23:12:47
Can some of you idiots please stop with your completely fabricated and baseless rumours stating were gonna sign two out of Young, Mata, and Marin. All three of them play in the same position why would we spend all that money on two left wingers? surely wed buy one out of the three named and buy a right winger also? stop with the lies please and get a life! !

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 23:07:36
Ed any news on Ken Aguero signing this window ?

heard from a close source liverpool, city and chelsea all have 60m bids on the table but Ken's agent didn't enjoy the half time meal provided for him at half time on sunday so has advised him to look else where.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 23:06:19
Liverpool could sign David Bentley in order to boost their winger options

If we all close our eyes really tightly and wish as hard as we can, it will come true!

not sure i want it to - no thanks

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:59:59
I personally would be happy with the following:

1 x LB (Coentrao the best but unlikely - then Izaguirre/ Baines/ Angel/ Cissokho not Enrique for me)
2 x W (1 top notch like A. Johnson, Mata or Marin and 1 as a backup - I actually wouldn't mind Jarvis but will prb be Marveaux)
1 x CF (a young back-up such as Long or van Wolfswinkel - would be happy to not be a regular starter initially)

I personally think we are covered at CD and CM although Sissoko would be nice.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:57:20
If aguero signs i will eat my shoe. (Diadora Borg Elites Kangaroo skin). Stop dreaming. His wages would f**k the structure of the club up.

Winger x 2
Left back

Give caroll time. Lots of clubs were keen on him. We paid alot of money for potential. Kenny will develop this and produce a real match winner

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:56:11
Ed what do people mean when they talk about MOTD fever? {Ed002's Note - It is something mainly suffered by Liverpool supporters on Sundays and Mondays.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:55:37
I read this site everyday without fail and the post are just getting ridiculous people who are meant to love our club actually think there's a chance we will buy Torres back what a joke and people thinking we are going to spend 45 million on one player who is on 3/ 4 of a million pound a month what a joke, like a player these days are going to take a pay cut of at least 50 Grand a week, don't get me wrong I would love it to happen but can't see it myself why can't everyone be realistic and talk about genuine players coming to lfc hope people don't think I am being negative just being realistic, anyone agree?

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:51:05
Navas is too much of a risk. However my missus really fancies him so could be a real spinner on the shirt front. Unlucky bloke she is a pain.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:48:59
Alrights ed's just a thought but all the talk of us lookin for holdin role players an spendin all kinds of money don't ye think gerrard will be perfect, he' 32 but in this position we will get another 4-5 maybe 6 years out of him an he will be better than any of the names goin around.cheers

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:46:33
LFC should let Steve Clark manage. The dude is great. his training got the team playing the ball with one touch.

Now liverpool should go back to their old philosophy of one touch football and quick footballing mind . Why don't liverpool cherry pick the youth of the world and teach them to play fast one touch football.

Bara have set a standard that we will will have to reach. aLL teams will have to reach including man utd. Fast free flowing football.

That is something that liverpool should be aiming for with its youth
I think Bara will win by 5 goals. They made utd look poor before. So this time round utd are going to be raped.

Amazing how everybody suddenly has sources ehh ed?

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:40:39
Has serie a finished if so is Alberto back because frankly I would like to see him play now because of his very good form with tight a** juventa*s

Ed if he comes back wot no. Would he have because he would suit no.14 instead of that Serbian s**t or no.20 {Ed002's Note - I don't expect he will be back next season.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:40:28
***Expect an English influx of Cahill, Downing/ Young, Warnock and Jarvis, with the likes of McArthy/ Adam also. All of which will improve our premiership standing.***

Bloody hell mate we're Liverpool not Stoke! Most of the players you have just listed are nowhere near good enough to play for a team challenging for the top 4.

RE: apparently going to be spending big and looking for title within 2 years

Thank you for the laugh, I resoect John Henry he seems like a nice person, but he bought liverpool for a bargin rock bottom price.

Granted this liverpool property needs allot of maintenance and fixing up, but i don't think John Henry caught the Bug. The football bug that makes a man like JJB charman single handly raise a team like wigan from 3rd divison.

Owners of football teams should have passion for them. Like owning race horses. The love of the game should drive the chairman to spend.

Im not talking about man city + oil money or Roman and Diplomatic status. Its love for the team and getting to hard so that you can put money into the team that will provide you with memories.

now John Henry has never played Football and i don't mean American football. Hicks and Gillettes had no love for the team, but saw the whole things as a franchise

American franchises are different from English football teams. Their is a certain amount of put your money where your mouth is henry. 19 + 4 makes for bad reading.

I wouldn't expect a alan sugar or John Henry to walk out of English football with a profit. Lets get real. footabll is a game that build around money/ status. In olden periods people would keep fine horses. Play games of Polo with the super rich.

These days. If your a no body walking in the uk with a Billion. You buy yourself a football club to let everyone know that your a serious palyer. Football clubs have become castles for the super rich

I read that the uk has seen a rise in super rich in the last ten years. These people drive around in Ferrari's on the kinds road while the average man has stayed at the same level/ middle class since 2000.

Now i know uncle stevie has 10 houses and is paying almost nothing for them in this messed up economy while the rest of us pay through the nose for food and tickets to the football.

""then it's Aguero coming for £40 million & £250,000 a week! ! The lunatics have well & truely been let out!""

Why do people feel the need to make random numbers up?

To clear this up, Aguero is on 145, 00 euros a week, which equals to 125,000 POUNDS per week.
Its not that much considering Gerrard is on 120,000 a week. {Ed002's Note - Agueros wage is net of tax - Gerrards gross.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:34:52
I come on here pretty regularly and enjoy reading the rumours and especially the banter, but some of the rubbish people come out with is cringeathonic. If you have genuinely got a "source" who gives you inside info before the poplulous knows, then good for you (I wish I did). If your source is the paper, ssn, LFCTV or any other easily accessible media, then don't be all cloak and dagger and make out that there's a "buzz in Spain" when your sat at home in Lancashire. Don't give it your "usually reliable source" when you've just been on twitter, and I would take a wild guess that the staff who work in the LFC shop wouldn't know much about which transfers are coming through in the summer. Just a few examples, but why make yourself sound like a tool for hire?

It would be nice that once in a while, I could post with a genuine rumour, from a genuine inside "source" about transfers coming in to LFC because I love the club and would love to share it with the stab in the dark bullshine merchants. On the other hand though, I'd feel like extra mature stilton bake if I was pretending to have inside info or a source that I didn't really have, but that's just me.

I know that there are people who post with genuine info, but they get lost in amongst the bullshine. I trust in the club owners, the manager and the whole team who are involved in bringing in prospective transfers to bring in quality players who will improve the team.

Speculation is good, talking out and out Runcorn is not. Cheers.

Freidel, Robinson, Skrtel, Kelly, Wilson, Flannagan, Marveaux, Meireles, Spearing, Shelvey, Kuyt, Pacheco

That is a league winning squad. Freidel- free, Baines- £15m, Cahill- £15m, Mata- £20m, Marveaux- free, Aguero- £40m
Total- £90m
Sales- £30-40m
We could get these players if we really pushed for them and if FSG spend this £50m this summer. This will be the last time they have to spend significantly as it is a young squad and there are always youngsters coming throuh. Thoughts Ed?

Not Posted in a while. I have been on holiday recently but I have just been informed of some very close deals.

Ashley Young of Aston Villa is very likely to sign very soon. A bid has NOT been made yet but one is said to be made after the game on Sunday.

Marko Marin has said he has enjoyed his time in Germany and considers it to be where he will spend next season because of his enjoyment. He will not move this summer.

Expect a signing from Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid. Scouts have been there a lot in recent weeks and could very well mean there will be someone coming in from that region. Take this with a pinch of salt though because scouts go places all the time during this period although there have been more enquiries from Madrid than their usually would without making a signing.

Regardless of whether Blackpool stay up or go down, Charlie Adam will move to Anfield.

As for left back, Jose Enrique is being looked at from all clubs over the world including French Giants Lyon. He could well be on his way there as Lyon are expected to sell Aly Cissohko for a huge amount. This amount will be in the region of 12-16m.

Brad Friedel is extremely close to signing. This will be the backup for Reina for the first season but then he will go on to do a coaching role.

Sylvain Marveaux will sign in the first week of the opening of the International Transfer Season.

Will post shortly.

Not a rumour just a player i'd love to see at Liverpool. Marek Hamsik looks class

Is Diego Forlan 32. Finally too old to play at the top level.

RE: The banner at Tottenham game. Man utd banner this weekend.

So did you people see the banner from these man Utd fans. They posted it before the game.

I was wondering, did they make it out of the ground in one piece. They must of spent £200 on tickets + £50 on Petrol., but to show up Liverpool at Anfield. That's priceless.

The Man Utd forums have been going crazy with the news that two of their solders walked into Anfield and made mugs of the supporters.

So what will be the response? {Ed001's Note - who cares? They think it was clever to pay money into Liverpool's coffers! I think we should be thanking them for helping provide a little bit more dosh in the kitty and for showing that they are so concerned about us.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:09:17
Ed am Mayes with qpr Liverpool local lad Bradley Orr an he told me that tarrabat is a classvact but Is an absolut di*k and isn't the most liked in the dressing room to say the least

I have mixed views on him have doubts weather he will do it in the perm what do u think. .?

The saint {Ed001's Note - I have been saying he is a knob for ages mate, he is not what we need, nor what we will buy. He won't even pass the ball and we play passing football.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:07:03
the fact that we are apparently going to be spending big and looking for title within 2 years suggests that Owen, Freidel, Warnock and some of the others being named are laughable. Maybe if Woy was still here they would be realistic targets but not title winners.

I think Clichy would be a good signing and Barton if only to get Andy Carroll going again. Otherwise I think looking overseas is our best bet rather than has-beens and never-weres.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:05:24
Can people stop going on about Aguero please. yes most of us would love for him to sign for us but i personally don't think he will.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:04:45
Do people think that Adel Taarabt from QPR will become a lfc player. Iv seen against 1st division teams.

Its like Garrard playing against none league. He was rubbish when Robbie Savage marked him out of the game. Robbie Savage had him his bitch for the game. He really wouldn't survive in the premiership. Tottenham knew it

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:03:29
Doesnt Shane Long look like perfect back=up for suarez and carroll

Chunky

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 22:01:23
Is Andy Carrol a Sick Note?

Kenny D said Price is relative just like time travel, but when your wife goes out and buys a pair of £500 shoes. Dont you want her to wear those shoes forever and you would be really unset if the quality and made of those shoes didn't live up to expectation. Very High expectations

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:57:21
Eds, I know it this team is almost impossible for us to achieve this summer, but raise my hopes slightly by telling me how likely these signings are :)

Falcao- Carroll
Suarez
Mata- Gerrard
Pique
Clichy- Agger- Carragher- Johnson
Reina

77chris {Ed002's Note - I think Carragher will stay if that helps.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:57:19
Does anyone else here think that blackpool have played very well this season. They went out and attacked everyone Regardless of stature.

I hope they beat man utd and stay in for next season. I heard on the news that FA want utd to put out a full strength team for game.

blackpool coming out of Xmas where looking good to stay in the premiership. 3 points. 3 points

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:57:08
lfc to sign:
Adam-8m
Young-15m or Downing-12m
Enrique-15m

Total:24m

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:56:47
I think the return of Aquaman would be a blessing in disguise. Alonso's creativity left a massive hole in the team and Rauls absence on sunday was critical as we clearly had no imagination to unlock the Spurs door. Bring back Aquaman and sign another defensive midfielder to look after the ball players.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:53:53
I have just seen the most shocking tackle of my entire life. Chris Mavinga (on load to genk from Liverpool) just nearly killed a guy playing for standard Liege.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:49:56
hi , i got told that the transfer window opens on sunday but the player can complete his contract and medical however he can't become a liverpool player or what ever team it involes until the 1st june , is that true ?

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:49:04
Carroll has had 2 injuries since he has been at the club, and had little time to settle in, and people are slagging him off, Yet when he scored against City he was the best thing since sliced bread. You armchair supporters should stick to video games. Ross
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ed do you think it's time to get a new medical team, Torres was always injured and has had 5 months free(being s**t doesn't count), Gerrard, Agger, Carroll, aurelio. If we spend the money Chelsea did on theres we could keep key players involved for way more games. Torres is the example

17 May 2011 21:47:54
just so you all know i was listening to talksport the other day. A durham to be exact and he was saying that the deal for A Young is already done for him to sign for m utd ok so i think we should forget him.what do you think ed. {Ed001's Note - I think Durham knows absolutely nothing and talks nonsense, he might well join United but it is not done yet. Young has offers to choose between in the summer, I would expect him to choose the United offer but you never know. Spurs were favourite to get Cole last summer.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:45:02
So it looks like marin might go to spurs, chelsea to go for mata, city to go for sanchez, young to utd.

So what crap wingers are we gonna end up with?

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:43:41
So MOTD people, should expect Shane Long to be in a LFC shirt next season?

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:38:14
Hi Ed quick question for ya. .Sorry if you have already answered this question a million times but This whole Friedel coming back baffles me as he is about 38-40 which goes against everything FSG and he would never even come close to Reina in abilities so could not fight for his spot, so i was wondering is he a free agent in the summer or is he retiring so we are offering him a academy training role as they seem the only options i could see him ever coming back for. . Cheers {Ed002's Note - I guess there may be future plans for him to take a coaching role or to scout goalkeepers. I really don't know why it appears to be on teh cards. Otherwise it is simply short-term cover only.}
Would he not be classed as a home grown player to sit on the bench he's been in the prem since the dinosaurs
den {Ed001's Note - he is better cover than Jones and he is a nice guy who trains well and would be very good to have around the young keepers.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:32:55
What about Jody McAnuff from Reading. Watching him tonight, seems OK, quick feet and direct. He also impressed against Liverpool in the Cup! Any thoughts Ed? {Ed001's Note - no way, lazy, he plays well a couple of times a season and coasts through the rest.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 21:27:34
"We know how much work there is to be done, but I believe we are in the right place and we are going in the right direction. Next season will be more positive.

"The quicker we improve, the better for the club, but we cannot change overnight. The owners are preparing a big summer and hopefully the players that come in will improve the squad."

Quote earlier from Pepe Reina.

Does this sound like a man who plans on staying at the club with 5-15 million pound bargain basement players such as Enrique, Charlie Adam, freidel, Wickham, Noble, Parker, Nzogbia, Long, etc etc linked with the club. There's NO WAY on gods green earth would our best keeper ever contemplate staying unless he new the club was going to invest in at least 3-4 marquee world class players.

CLASS players.

RE: Do Liverpool still need Steven Gerrard?

no one has managed to put together a logical argument for or against

Against.

Garrard is paid a large amount of money for a average performance. No 6. Steven Gerrard (31), Liverpool; £140,000 a week: Signed four-year deal in July 2009 (£7, 200,000 million a year)

Contract length: Has two years of his current deal. Its time to give him a new contract or risk him leaving for free or on the cheap.

Under Kenny Gerard has made 6 starts in 22 games.

Since 2007 Gerrard's performance have been average at best. Since Xabi left they have been rubbish. Lets face it, Gerrard is old and likes the team to play around him. Is Kenny really going to build a new liverpool team around a 31 year old.

George Best was a wonderful player, but in the end Man Utd had to move on. George wanted the team to play around him, but he was past it just like Garrard.

Real Madrid will be willing to pay liverpool for Gerrard. Something is better than nothing. Kenny has around £50million to spend in the summer. I can't see him buying 5 or 6 players with £50million. Maybe in 1995 he would of been able to buy two players such as shearer and Sutton

For:

Fat 40 year old men dream of being him on sunday mornings and the fans seem to like him even though he doesn't like the fans.

Are the fans really willing to carry Steven Gerrard as a passenger for another 4 years and allow teams like Manchester Utd beat them in the history books.

I can confirm liverpool are having a massive summer. J W Henry has said liverpool will win the league within the next 2 years. he said expect these top players to come in :
aguero
bale
young
marin
and a cb and lb but said he wouldn't give names for them two positions.

YNWA!

This is just very poor, aguero will not happen, bale certainly won't happen especially wih his dislike of liverpool, young? possibly, marin, looks like he is on his way to spurs!

SUAREZ CARROLL

BENCH - FRIEDEL, AGGER, MEIRELES, SHELVEY, STERLING, STURRIDGE.

i would love this for next season! . . i know it means buying 6 players (plus getting friedel back on a free), but really strong 11, plus bench is a good mix of quality cover, experience an really promising youth! . . any thoughts editors??? cheers.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 20:46:57
I've been watching shane long all season and i have been really impressed with what i've seen this season, ice cool but my main quam was that if he could handle pressure and i think he has great so far against cardiff and showed his predator instincts, no i know he's not good enough to start for lfc but i think he would be great back up, a go to if we r in trouble and under the coaching of kenny could become great in a few years.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 20:46:14

17 May 2011 20:31:06
When we dominated English & European football in the 70s & 80s we bought the best, we didn't JUST buy promising youngsters hoping they would become good enough. If the owners are serious about returning club to former glories (I believe they do) they must invest in world class quality, otherwise united, city & Chelsea with increase
the gap.

I think we can pretty much guarentee ourselves one of the following 3 wingers; Ashley Young, Juan Mata or Adam Johnson.
If Man U sign Young then we will sign Mata/ Johnson and if City sign Mata we will most probably then sign Johnson.
If Man U sign Mata then we will sign Young and City will keep Johnson. I think it's fairly obvious to see that this is has a 99% chance of occuring.

Shane Long is a class act! (If you think he's not good enough for playing in the lower league; well Shanks bought lotsa legends who were in the lower league and would you like to think again?)

Was there only me that saw Robbie"God"Fowler at the game on sunday, i thought if a player or even his agent were sat in the stands at Anfield we were definitely signing them. So where are all the Fowler rumour's or maybe i've got it wrong lol.

2 Strikers
Am 100% certain of this, I think.

Hi ed, just wondering if you knew anything about Liverpools plans for youngsters like Ayala, Pacheco and Mavinga and also if you think young Ince will be at the club next year.think we have some good players there. .mavinga in particular, he's done well in Belgium!thanks. . {Ed002's Note - Some will be leaving for good and some will go out on loan to get experience.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 20:01:32
Id rather see LFC buy young players that will gradually see LFC challenge for trophies rather than signing players like Aguero for 40m who demand huge wages.

If we are guna bring back a striker it should Bellamy not Torres in my opinion.

17 May 2011 19:55:19
Ed(s) do you think instead of signing 2-3 wingers to provide depth and a new look, couldn't we simply switch to 4-3-3:
Kuyt Carroll Suarez
would provide width in itself and if a left back was signed then Johnson and the new left back would provide the real width. We could then look to sign a replacement for Kuyt such as Aguero, Hulk, Pato etc.

Just a thought.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 19:52:13
Evening eds, i rememeber back in jan when people were talking about sturridge being included in the torres deal, people were saying "no way". hes been fantastic at bolton since going there on loan. bolton have done wonders for jack wilshire, and now sturridge. do you think we missed out on sturridge in jan? and do you think shelvey should be sent out next year to a prem team (like bolton) to get game time and progress?

I don't get how people come on here and post such rubbish about transfer targets. Simple fact is we do not know who the club will be signing. Who ever the targets may be will also be subject to bids from other clubs, so this "nailed on" stuff is utter rubbish. What we can say is fact is that Liverpool will not be held for ransom by clubs or players. We will know who the club has signed when the club announce it.

Anyone who thinks Liverpool will be challenging for the league next season is also misguided. Liverpool are in a rebuilding phase and will need a couple of seasons to be considered title challengers. They will definately be challengers in cup competitions purley because of the 'knock-out' format.

There may yet be a suprise signing or two but I think fans should not get ahead of themselves with their Man City /Chelsea style transfer spending.
Liverpool are building for the future and thus their transfer spending will be to maximise their ROI on the field and in monetary terms (future transfers).

Everyone should be positive about the future of the club and what they are doing. If you want fantasy, play Championship Manager.

What do you think Ed? {Ed002's Note - I am afraid I will stay on the side lines with this one.}

Ed, what chance of us agreeing to help bail out the greek economy? just a change of pace for you mate, you semed a little fried.

Muzmacol Ynwa {Ed001's Note - that would cost less than Aguero's wages.......}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 19:34:48
Aguero: What we know

he has many other clubs vying for his signature, clubs that can offer him champions league.

his wage demands are way too high

his average performances this season hardly validate his huge fee

we have a player in suarez who is a lot like aguero, but doing a better job of it lately!

now, given the choice of having him or not i would say go for it however i think it would still be better to spend the money on areas that need more addressing.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 19:33:39
This will be Liverpool side for next season there will be no Major signing just improving the best 11, (with prem experiance) young wll swap with Kuyt and suarez and Carroll in a rotation. This will see them all get plenty of game time. Adam and Shelvey can play CM and AMC. Lucas and Spearing can come in for Parker if need be. Agger to be sold as he is injury prone and we can't build a team with someone who only plays 10-15 games. Players to be sold are Jones, Agger, kyriagos, aurelio, Cole, Jovanovic and N, gog.


Are you sure abouy this? You know parker is a spurs fan, and that he was a guest of jamies for the spurs-chelsea game? according to spurs fans he is nailed on along with marin

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 19:33:09
Just to let all the haters know the interest for aguero is very viable even if he dusnt sign we r tryin to get the argentine , his wages or his fee isn't to much for FSG to pay at all or they wudnt still be interested .
Plus for the people sayin ther is x amount of money available , ther isn't a amount of money being given to the king , he just puts a cost to the owners of some1 he likes and they will tell him if ther prepared to pay . . . . . The chef kd7 YNWA JFT96

Hi Eds

How about this

Ryan Shawcross CB 10 mill
Phil jones CB 10 mill
Marko Marin Wing 10 mill
Blaise Matouida DFM 10 mill
Matt Jarvis Wing 8 mill
Phillipe Coutinho 7 mill
Enrique 8 mill
Mario Gomez 20 mill

All reasonable me thinks.

Anyone know which liverpool players past and present are on twitter

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 19:23:20
All recent reports suggest that the top bracket stars all want European Football, City, Chelsea and probably Utd will piss all over us with signings like Neymar, Augero, Sanchez, Hazard, Mata, Hulk, Lavezzi, Sneijder, Martinez, Schweinsteiger, Gervinho, Navas, Benzema, Kaka etc and so i am afraid unless DC & KK have a magic wand we are looking at the next tier down of talent only i.e. Larsson, N'Zogbia, Adam, Enrique, Payet, McCarthy, Jones, Matuidi, Sissoko, Marveaux - all are good, some potentially world class but if we want a couple of players to make an instant impact, we must snare Ashley Young and Arda Turan.

. . .Anyone who thinks british players are better value , dream on, you pay double for less talent, the latest rubbish Taarabt for £9m.

Watched Derby v QPR last week, Savage who is way passed his best had him in his pocket, simply just not good enough. Same as all these rumours regarding players from relegation treatened teams, wake up, if they are so good why are the teams being relegated.

rasone"

Possibly because a team is not made up of 1 player, but 11. You could have Messi in the team but if the 10 other players aren't good enough, you've got no chance.
Looking in the relegated teams makes sense, certain players will play better with better players around them.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 19:11:31
Evening all,

Recently I have been doing some research and have found two players of which I think could thrive at Liverpool. These two players are:

Charles Itandje - He seems a class keeper from what I have seen, could be a back-up/ replacement for Reina, was on the Utd books. Could be key in us winning trophies in the future.

Andreas Dossena - I seem to recall someone mentioning him a few months ago, he is playing spectaculaly for his club Napoli, has great pace and could add some width to the squad.

If he was past his best he must of been absolutely terrible! If he had Taarabt in his pocket I would not suggest buying him! ! !

I don't think we will be signing a right winger as we have Dirk Kuyt in this position as he never hardly gets injured. I been told that Young will defo be signing as he wants guarnteed football which he will get at us but unlikely at the mancs. will prob play left wing. I think the only left back in the prem that is worth signing is baines but i can, t see the blue noses selling to us. heard man city will pay upto £25 mill for him anyway(Ceefax, Gossip Page) that's far too much for him, looks like looking abroad for a left back then, what do you think ed on baines i heard you not bothered too much about Young.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I hope that's not true as I think quality left and right wingers with pace is what we need with Kuyt, Suarez and Carroll as the three main strikers. . {Ed002's Note - If you have four defenders, three strikers and two wingers, that leaves just the one midfield player!}

Dalglish and Comolli pondering over a 3 pronged attack:
. . . . Carroll Suarez
Potential targets include:
Alexandr Pato - AC Milan (25-35million)
Javier Pastore - Palermo (30-35million)
Hulk - FC Porto (25-35million)
Iker Muniain - Atheltic Bilbao (15-20million)
Sergio Aguero - At Madrid (35-45million, very unlikely due to ridiculous wages and high transfer fee)

XI looking something like this:
Reina
Johnson Carra Agger Cissokho
Meireles Lucas Gerrard
Pato* Carroll Suarez

*pato just an example

Firstly rumours, can see Torres moving on not enjoying time at Chelsea, I for one would have the Torres of old back , but he would need to build bridges.

I have heard rumours from a friend at a City of London Bank, that the Aguero rumour to Liverpool has some legs talks are planned in the next 10 days.

As for the other rumours being posted most are just daft, or repeats of the papers.

Anyone who thinks british players are better value , dream on, you pay double for less talent, the latest rubbish Taarabt for £9m.

Watched Derby v QPR last week, Savage who is way passed his best had him in his pocket, simply just not good enough. Same as all these rumours regarding players from relegation treatened teams, wake up, if they are so good why are the teams being relegated.

rasone

1. Taarabt is good. Not yet proved in Prem, but played for Tottenham once and was Man of the Match.( v.s.Arsenal)
2. Aguero likely to come.
3. It is a team effort, so the teams who are going to be relegated may have good players even though they will be relegated. TEAM EFFORT.

On the subject of Aguero. .

What I know:

-He wants to move
-He told Atletico fans a couple of years ago he would not leave without winning a trophy, he has now done that.
-He is not looking for extortionate wages (as reported) just an improvement on his current contract, the haggle I'm informed is with bonuses for appearance and competition wins.
- He both respects and admires the history and tradition behind LFC but is not an an LFC supporter as reported (as if it matters anyway)
-He has already flat rejected Juventus on the grounds he does not believe they will be competing for trophies.
- Atletico have a good working relationship with LFC and were very pleased with previous dealings, they were impressed with our professional approach and how we did not use the press to our advantage like Real Madrid do.
- Atletico do not want to see to a team in same division.

Here's the rumours I've been told. .

- When the Torres deal was agreed we were given first option on Aguero (should he decide to leave) on the condition Atletico be given 10% of any Torres transfer fee from LFC, this would only apply if we signed Aguero.

Just information which I thought I would share, been in spain all this week and thought I'd try get some new info. Also Madrid will listen to offers in summer for Alonso, Kaka, Benzema, Canales and Pedro Leon (depending on how Pedro Leon behaves in summer)

I've since heard that Owen might return as his contract is up at united and liverpool wanna let him finish up a red {Ed002's Note - A pretty expensive way of saying thanks to a player for service a few years ago.}
****************************************
If Woy was still in charge id would beleive that could happen. but i think KK knows Liverpool and its fans too well and knows all too well that bringing MO back wouldn't go down well at all and would only bring a situation where we Booed our own player!
He left us to 'win things' well now he has, whilst benchwarming for the enemy!.
Anyone here on twitter? U should read the pro Manc Carp he comes out with. that isn't the behaviour of someone wishing to return to Liverpool to see out his career. . Tho he has already proved how thick he is by the mistakes he has made with every step since leaving us. btw Peirs morgan on twitter gave MO and Ratboy both barrells yesterday! Was hilarious!

Some people are so far off with rumours/ targets , liverpool are moving quickly with targets and are in talks with several clubs , we have made moves for marko marin (as i stated yesterday) roughly bout £10-£11m we don't wanna pay too much more as he only has 1-2 years left on contract , ashley young has clearly been targeted roughly between 13-15m we have already held primilarly talks but no bids have been made , and eden hazard (yeah i know wat people are thinking but we have been in talks with lille and we are very much interested , but whether the player is interested is another matter as he has plenty of options. {Ed002's Note - You should sign your posts.}

Hi ed's when do the national and international transfer windows open

Many thanks
Quince
YNWA {Ed002's Note - Each FA decides the date that their transfer window opens. In England and Wales it is after the last game of the season - but that only applies for transfers between clubs who are members of the same FA. There has been a real big fuss in France this year as the clubs want the transfer window to open after the last day of the season rather than their following the tradition of opening on the same day as the International window. The French are concerned that those nasty English clubs will come and take their best players and costs will be inflated. Some countries use the last game, some June 1 and some the international window date. For International transfers I think the window will open on July 1.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 17:33:51
I'm sorry my friends, Benzema deal is off.
Recent run of form and time in first team has tured his head.
Fabregas is Barcelona bound and Adebayor will not sign permanent.
Guillem Balague is correct about interest in Aguero. Kenny wants 4 class forwards.
Interest in Navas shown recently also.

If FSG are serious about putting Liverpool back to the top which I believe they are then they are going to have to be looking at the likes of Aguero, Hazzard Sanchez etc. I appreciate it is tough to attract that type of plaer with no CL but Liverpool is still Liverpool and a huge club.

Signing the likes of Downing, Barton and Jarvis as some are suggesting are not going to put Liverpool back up there. They will only make the squad bigger not better

Sorry to post another thing about Aguero but does everybody else know we could of signed him when he was 17 / 18 when he left Independiente for Atletico ? I believe we offered about £5 million whereas i think Atletico signed him for £12 million.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yup, we were his favoured destination as he supported us when he was a wee boy but we agreed to pull out because atletico basically said him or torres.
Off topic but we also were front runners to sign Ronaldo. Benitez wanted him before he went to united but H&G refused to stump up the money!

{Ed002's Note - Sorry, but this is absolute nonsense about Ronaldo.}

Do Liverpool still need Steven Gerrard?

As he watches Liverpool's spring revival from the sidelines, you could forgive Steven Gerrard for feeling a little nervous.

Four months into the second coming of King Kenny, Liverpool fans are starting to think the unthinkable: Do we still need Stevie G?

Could the man whose colossal influence has dominated Anfield for a decade really be surplus to requirements?

It is a notion that borders on the heretical for some, but it stems from the club's remarkable upturn in fortunes without their captain.

Gerrard has played only six of 22 games under Dalglish, and none since March 6.

In that time, Liverpool have risen from relegation contenders to possible European qualifiers.

Although they look set to just miss out on Europa League qualification, that may be no bad thing given the corrosive effect this season's bleak European campaign had on them.

It is not so much results under Dalglish that have caught the eye (11 wins in 22 games is good, but not spectacular), but their style of play and above all the mood about the club.

WHO ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU ARE SAYING THAT GERRARD IS SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENTS, DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL AND THAT HE IS THE BEST MIDFIELDER IN THE WORLD. {Ed001's Note - I think Xavi and Iniesta might have cause to dispute that statement.}

Not a rumour as such, but a question. .

Alan Hansen said on the bbc website, when KK was made permanant manager, that when KK left in 1991, he was ready to return 6 weeks later. And that also, everything was in place for him to return except the board had a last minute change of heart. Is this true? Or was it much later on down the years that KK wanted to return and the board changed their mind e.g. about the time Houlier was appointed in 1998 or Benitez appointed in 2004. Does anyone know the full story here and when all this happened?

David Moores & co were an absolute fools not to let KK return. Perhaps then taggart wouldn't have won any titles, let alone 12! {Ed001's Note - it was almost immediately, within weeks he realised he had made a terrible mistake. The thing is that everyone else but the board knew he just needed a break and would be back, but they wouldn't wait.}

Guillem Balague Of SSN Spain has said that Real Madrid , Man City and Liverpool are interested in Kun Aguero ! Check his twitter if you want so those peeps saying we are not interested n Aguero can go plant some roses in my garden {Ed001's Note - nobody has said we are not interested, merely that his wages are too high and he would need to take a pay cut, which is extremely unlikely.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If this is true and we are interested in Aguero. What i don't understand is why Balague feels the need, to name our targets? I really like Balague and think his info is probably the most reliable among all the journos. But if he loves and respects the club like he says he does. Then if/ when he does hear anything about our targets, why not just do it the Liverpool Way, and say nothing. I know we all want to hear some info on players and targets etc, but we are doing things in house and saying nothing about players coming in or going out.

I just think that Balague needs to be quiet sometimes, especially when it comes to LFC. But i suppose it gets him more clicks and exposure, for his site.

I'm amazed there hasn't been a deluge of "itk's" reporting that wikipedia now says mata plays for liverpool (it actually does).the lads over here (ireland) are really running with the shane long rumours, i used to live in thurles and a couple of lads i knew there used to be friendly with shane until fairly recently, they reckon lads at his old club who are still in touch with him have said he's definitely moving to us.

Im Hearing that There is definatley a former player returning! im hopefull its Alonso but could be Owen, Friedle, Murphy. . or even Torres any ideas people????

Not a rumour as such, but a question. .

Alan Hansen said on the bbc website, when KK was made permanant manager, that when KK left in 1991, he was ready to return 6 weeks later. And that also, everything was in place for him to return except the board had a last minute change of heart. Is this true? Or was it much later on down the years that KK wanted to return and the board changed their mind e.g. about the time Houlier was appointed in 1998 or Benitez appointed in 2004. Does anyone know the full story here and when all this happened?

David Moores & co were an absolute fools not to let KK return. Perhaps then taggart wouldn't have won any titles, let alone 12!

Torres will not be coming back to Liverpool. He well and truly burnt his bridges leaving in the manner he did, saying what he did and playing the way he did . We did well to get 50M for him - he had become injury prone and was takig longer and longer to recover. We got the best out of him and basically doubled our money in his disposal. The stories about him struggling to settle down south are almost certainly true but living in a hotel and then temporary rented with kids is enough to strain anyone. During the summer he will sort out his domestic life and will then be settled ready to be injured by september.

Hi Ed,

Any chance of a Sergio Aguero Rumours page? I think this summer wil lbe very exciting with KK in charge and new owners, but Kun rumours are taking up WAY to much space on the Liverpool Rumours page. .

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 15:50:25
Liverpool Have a better chance of signing Aguero than most people think. It's been argued that his fee and wages would be to much for us. I ask you all to consider this:

1) If he's supposedly on £200,000 per week, sales of Cole or Aqua plus Jovanovic would roughly make that amount available without altering the books.

2) Tom Werner has been quoted as saying he wants to "INCREASE" the wage bill yet lower the squad. (taking the steps in point one would lower the squad, yet mean nothing extra is spent in wages. A win win all round).

3) If we're able to sanction a £35mil for a single player in Jan then i'm sure we could stretch an extra £10mil to meet Aguero's apparent £45mil buy out clause.

4) Aguero will not move to Real Madrid. Athletico selling to Real would be like Liverpool selling Torres to Man U. It's not gonna happen.

5) He has previously been quoted as saying he likes LFC and we also have other things that could work in our favour such as, having several spanish speaking players at our club (including his mate Maxi), not as much competition for first team action unlike Citeh, The best crowd atmosphere in the league, a great history and a kick ass manager.

I understand people when they do not think we will get him because of the cost plus no Champs League etc, but we have a hell of a lot going in our favour. More so than a lot of the teams that have been linked with him.

I personally can see it happening. Lets hope so!.

Alot of you seem to think we only have a certain amount to spend. i don't think that's the case. i think they will spend as much as they see fit. kk, dc and the owners know lfc needs to get back to challaging for top honers. so its time to spend big.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 15:40:48
Why are wages such an issue- if Aguero will take us to the title then he's worth £200k in my view. look at Shrek at spam down the road- they know he adds 15-20 goals a year and they stick their neck out (pardon the pun) to pay his wages. We have to take these extra special players to stop the mancs getting even further ahead.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 15:38:22
I have been noticing alot of rumours of players coming in and out of LFC.As all of us know that we are not Chelsea or Man City who buy top players and when they can't perform, we sell them.We have made such mistake before, example Aqua, Jovanovic, Poulsen, Konchesky, Speedy Gonzales and My favou Morientes.Not every player can adapt to EPL.

I believe in wat KK say abt spending wisely.I do believe some of the players in this site may be true.But KK mention earlier that So far all our players who start XI are good and we can see that.So to my LFC YNWA Fans, pls be patient an don't really expect top star to arrive.I believe in KK.

I don't know what all the fuss is about regaridng Aguero. Anytime I've seen him play he's been nothing special. And I especially wouldn't be interested at the prices being quoted and the wages we would have to pay him. I'd take Suarez over him any day, thoughts ed? {Ed001's Note - I am of the same opinion having watched him closely this season he has been extremely average. Whereas Suarez has lit up the Prem, I know which I would prefer.}whoever posted this I remember a certain mr Torres who never lit up la liga just like aguero but soon as mr Torres come to Liverpool he was lethal for the first 2 seasons ( suarez's left ollie )

Interesting developments recently regarding our targets.

Liverpool's departure list currently stands as below. I must add that there may be additional reserve team departures from those training at Melwood:
- Brad Jones
- Phillip Degen
- Stephen Darby
- Paul Konchesky
- Soto Kyrgiakos
- Daniel Agger (any offers valued at £10million and above will be accepted. Comolli and Dalglish have had enough of his injury record).
- Fabio Aurelio (Injury record)
- Alberto Aquilani
- Christian Poulsen
- Thomas Ince
- Nathan Ecclestone
- Milan Jovanovic
- Nabil El Zhar
- David Amoo
- Nikola Saric
- Joe Cole
- David NGog

Liverpool are seeking to tie up deals for the following:
- Brad Friedel (Peter Gulasci is being targeted by a Championship side on loan.)
- Jose Enrique
- Phil Jones
- Jan Vertonghen (replacement for Agger)
- Blaise Matuidi
- Ashley Young
- Sylvain Marveaux
- James McCarthy
- Marko Marin
- Connor Wickham

Blackpool's chairman Karl Oyster was less than impressed by Damien Comolli's conduct during the January transfer window. Comolli will try again for Adam, but it seems as though we're looking at McCarthy instead.

Emiliano Insua will be retained by the club as a back-up to Jose Enrique as they feel Jack Robinson's development is not yet ready for a deputy role.

Liverpool are seeking to spend around the £70million mark with the above. The departure list is what is causing Liverpool to seek a marquee signing sanctioned by Fenway Sports Group. Contrary to rumours, Sergio Aguero is not a target. Juan Mata on the other hand is a target.

Maxi Rodriguez's contract is being negotiated by Liverpool in order to reduce his wages and bump up the add-ons e.g. goals and assists in order to encourage improved performances.
Dirk Kuyt will be used a forward next season, with Maxi Rodriguez being utilised as a back-up right winger.

Jonjo Shelvey is subject to a loan move in the summer to a Premier League club.

Liverpool's strategy this summer is all about finding talent for money and providing top coaching to improve under-performers and younger players.

Why are we obssesed with all these forigen player. all these would be great additions to the squad

we use to sign the like of Aldridge , Houghton , walsh , wark , spackman , Barnes etc for lower league clubs or the best around and they would be fine and Kenny has proved the game hasn't chnaged that much

as proves with the youngsters i agree the likes or Alonso , torres etc have been special players and a few of them are great but stop with this sky sports obbsesed generation of football manager attitude

Kevin doyle or Steve Fletcher would be a great back up forwards
Ashley young as winger

Number 9s have returned to the club - Rush and Fowler ?
Rush sell to Juventus for £3.5m and he returns a year later for £2.8m. Fowler leaves for £11m and returns for a nominal fee. Neither made poor remarks about the club like the Spaniard, but who knows.
- - - - - - - - - - -
No oo. Don't be a fool mate. Even if Chelsea were crazy enough to sell him after paying £50m he's more likely to go to that club across Stanley Park than us, and thank god!

How can you mention him in the same sentence as God & our all time goalscorer? How dare you.

I know scott parker maybe 30-31 but he got an engine like a 21 year old, i still think he would be a decent signing for us and probably cheap now west ham relegated, FSG are saying they want young talent but it hasn't done well with the arsenal. think it could be a signing like when gary mcallister signed for us under houllier. he was a grat signing for us, what do u reckon ed. cheers m8 {Ed001's Note - as I keep saying, he doesn't have the right mentality for a big club in my opinion. He fades into the background unless he is the big fish, at Liverpool he would not be a big fish by any means. He is simply not good enough to take the risk he might be able to adapt.}

Not sure wherre this one originated but i've heard from a couple of the lads that maybe, just maybe, our former no.9 may be making his way back up here. Apparantly life in London isn't what he or his wife were expecting it to be and he misses the club and the fans. Bit of a u-turn, given his attitude in January. I personally can't see this happening as I'm sure KK, Clarke and Comolli have already earmarked the players that they want to bring in, but, as the saying goes, stranger things have happened. Has anyone else heard this? I'd be interested to know. What do you think, ed? {Ed002's Note - I think it is unlikely to be honest.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Was the full £50m deposited with Liverpool on January 31st? Or has only a percentage been paid so far? After all the Saurez transfer was already just about done and was not dependent on the sale of our number 9 to Chelsea. The initial plan must have been to partner him with Saurez. Just think what that partnership would have been like. Sensational.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 14:53:13
Great site guys .

I think we should look to sell Andy Caroll in the summer . . come on . let's admit it, he was a panic buy and one which doesn't suit our play . he's too slow and static. we need another fast player to partner Suaurez ! what you guys think ??

Would you really want him back in a Liverpool shirt though ? He showed such a low level of respect for the club and the fans after he left which I think means Dalglish wouldn't take him back for free. Same would go with Mascherano, both of them should take a look at how all our fans still love Xabi Alonso who left with nothing but gratitude for his service.

great 11 and a strong squad , wot does every1 think

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 14:17:35
Ed, you may disagree with me but what do you think of Nathan Dyer from Swansea as a back-up sqaud player? He would be very cheap and can play on the right and left wings and will add the pace and width Liverpool need. Could be a great squad player. What do you think? {Ed003's Note - Not good enough imo}

'I'd love to see the king and comoli pull off juan mata, xabi alonso and coaentrao this summer.'

Not sure Kenny would be quite as pleased as you, boom boom!

I happend to be listening to the two sexists on Talksh**te earlier and they had Gordon McQueen on as a guest. On talking about the 1979 FA Cup final between Arsenal and Utd of Salford, McQueen stated that the match was between to biggest club in the south and the biggest club in the north. He was not corrected by the sexists. Quite unbelievable. Liverpool were Champions that year!

I don't know what all the fuss is about regaridng Aguero. Anytime I've seen him play he's been nothing special. And I especially wouldn't be interested at the prices being quoted and the wages we would have to pay him. I'd take Suarez over him any day, thoughts ed? {Ed001's Note - I am of the same opinion having watched him closely this season he has been extremely average. Whereas Suarez has lit up the Prem, I know which I would prefer.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 14:01:36
Guillem Balague Of SSN Spain has said that Real Madrid , Man City and Liverpool are interested in Kun Aguero ! Check his twitter if you want so those peeps saying we are not interested n Aguero can go plant some roses in my garden {Ed001's Note - nobody has said we are not interested, merely that his wages are too high and he would need to take a pay cut, which is extremely unlikely.}

Did Atletico hold talks with Real yesterday, Or was it another club he held talks with, Will Chelsea Try for him again ed001? {Ed001's Note - I expect Chelsea to return for him, but it is likely that Aguero is actually looking for the Real Madrid move to be perfectly honest. The only way Atletico would accept a bid from them would be if Aguero asks to leave, then the fans won't turn on the team. Real Madrid are the only ones who would give him the wages he wants

Oh right another player that well ruin his career at madrid, That will mean the end for Benzeama or Higuan won't it then ED if he does make the move.

KOP89 {Ed001's Note - Benzema was always going to leave, Higuain is first choice and two other strikers were going to be joining anyway. Looks like the two are Aguero and probably Llorente.}

Aguero And Llorente where all these players going to play! ! !

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 14:01:28
How about creating a poll for the players whom want by the Liverpool fans for each position that we needs?
Indian Red {Ed001's Note - possibly, see how many agrees it gets.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 14:01:12
For me next season the team would be:
- - - - - -Reina- - - - - -
- - - Carra- - Cahill- - - -
Johnson- - - - - - Cissokho
- - - - Gerrard- Lucas- - -
Mata- -Navas*/Turan*- Young
- - - - - - Suarez- - - - -

Subs:
Jones
Agger
Skrtel
Kelly
Meireles
Maxi
Kuyt
Carroll

*Would love to see either of the two if not both, Big admirer of both of them, and i feel we could both and still have more money than we would if we bought Aguero, and they could still do the job.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 13:44:46
I love the site ed's but seriously if i hear one more rumour about Aguero joining i will go to Madrid and ask him myself that would put an end to it wouldn't it? it must drive you crazy? ynwa :-) lee

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 13:31:54
Ed see all this talk about a 50+ mill transfer kitty, is it not true that kk and fsg don't operate like that, and in fact they carefully consider and evaluate any transfer suggestion given to them? {Ed001's Note - exactly correct.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 13:25:26
Looks like Agger is staying, I never had any doubts but to those who did. . James Carroll (LFCTV Journo) said on his twitter: "Just spoke to Daniel Agger at Melwood. He says he's recovering well from injury and is determined to return stronger than ever next season."

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 13:22:38
Eds,

Sorry Eds to be bit critical of you guys, but you all seem to be not to very stright forward with who might we sign also not very much behind the some of the names being put forward, although some of names are rediculas. just a comment eds sorry if any one offended!

coyr {Ed001's Note - no one is offended, it is difficult to find out for sure who we are going to sign, a lot of people are posting what the players believe, but players are useless a lot of the time. They often don't even know what is happening about their future until they get told to go for a medical. Things are not as leaky now as they were in the past, those with loose tongues have been told to shut them or removed from their positions.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 13:19:50
Aguero odds to join have gone to 7 to 1 while read madrid has become favourites as they are only one willing to splash 45million on him. . so if your going by sky bet logic, , there the same chance of kun or michael owen joining us. . . more of a chance bellemy goin to celtic, charlie adam to villa , rooney to city, cesc to real, upson to pool,

also can any1 help me with this, i heard a rumor that kun was an avid liverpool fan? is there any truth in that??? sure we seen the infamous torres youll never walk alone armband , and we all no how he treated us, so does it mean anything who you support when the cheque book comes out ?

Shane {Ed001's Note - not avid, no, but he is a Liverpool fan. Turan is what you call avid, he even has the Liverpool crest painted as a mural on a living room wall of his home.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 13:14:03
I can't understand why people think we won't need another striker, especially if were looking long term to possibly Europa league next season and champions league afterwards, Carroll is 22/23 he's still a Raw talent and there is nothing wrong with having to fight for a place in the starting 11, we've made the mistake of expecting two players to create everything we achieve, we've ended up with a narrow team, we need a squad of players willing to work for the cause, not 11 expensive players with a rating of at least 82 on FIFA! Look at city all that money n they still struggle. We need wingers couple ready to go and a couple young ones to bring through the ranks, were buying for the future aswell.

I know I'll get slaughtered and I know it's not gonna happen but for years I have said Earnshaw should be at a big club. He just scores goals! I would have him

Chris in Tamworth

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 13:03:15
So Sergio Aguero has told his chairman he wants a move, Clubs will have to pay tax if athletico are not willing to sell, Real Madrid are the only ones at the moment who are willing to pay the 45 million euro clause, And am i right ED002 Real held discussions with the club or player yesterday However Liverpool and Chelsea still are interested in the player!?

Kop89 {Ed002's Note - No - pretty much all of that is wrong. And there is no need to pretend to be a Liverpool fan.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 13:02:07
I would love it if we finished 5th, but we probably will not. But, at Xmas we were looking at a top 10 finish if we were extremely lucky.

Lets just be happy that we are on the right track now and look forward to some quality signings in the summer , whoever they are and get rid of some deadwood with our best wishes.

Next year will be better, aim high, go for the title, and give the rest a forewarning of what is to come.

We now have hope where there was little, expectation when there was none, belief when we thought all was lost but most of all we have pride & loyalty which was always there in abundance but was hiding behind the fear of failure and smell of mediocrity. Come on LFC.

17 May 2011 13:00:49
This Aguero rumour seems to be pciking up but I for one would be shocked if we are even interested. Correct me if I am wrong but he is a forward. We bought Carroll for £35 million, you do not pay that sort of money for someone to sit on the bench. We have to assume Suarez would always play, so where does Aguero fit it. People will say we can play three up front but I would assume after the season he has had, Kuyt will be playing up front if we go for three.

If we do sign a forward, I think it will be someone who is either past his best or up and coming. The Michael Owen rumours seem likely to me, if anyone.

Now for other positions

I think we need a CB. So for me that would be Cahill.

We need a LB. What about Warnock, no-one has mentioned him for a while.

MF - would love to see Alonso back. We missed him and will be a far stronger team with him in

Wingers - We need wingers so lets hope Young is one.

What do you think ed? {Ed001's Note - Young? Seriously?}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 12:54:10
Just to let people know that a 15yr old irish lad signed today by the name of alex o hanlon. was being chased by clubs such as arsenal, man utd, chelsea, aston villa, everton, sunderland, barcelona, and inter milan. had also been contacted by clubs such as real madrid, porto, ac milan and others. left back by trade but can play right as well. good to see LFC continuing with their policy of getting the best youngsters in. most definitely one for the future.

Ed what you think of georginio wijnaldum only 20 his role model is kuyt last year of contract i think.said he wants to play abroad and apparently feyenoord are strapped for cash.DORSET RED {Ed001's Note - looks an excellent player, certainly up for grabs at a lot less than some of the other options we have been looking at.}

17 May 2011 12:29:30
This is not fact, more what i think should be done with our transfers

We are not a million miles away when it comes to the team, We just need improvement in certain positions. I do not think we will have a complete change to the team

We need a left back and someone our youth can learn from, someone in the mold of Coentrao, Defo need some wingers Marko Marin and any other from the mad list that has been created that can play on the right, poss Young

Dont think we need another striker as yet as we have other squad players that can play in this position such as Kuyt etc, and there is other formations we can play such as 442 or a 433 with wingers

Team
Suarez Carrol
Marin Gerrad Lucas Young
Coentrao Carra Skertel Johnson
Reina

Still then have players that can fit in like Kuyt, maxi, Meireles, agger, Spearing

Youth like Wisdom, Suso, sterling and morgan, Flanagan etc

Never going to be a big squad

Ed your thoughts please {Ed001's Note - I agree we don't need much, just a bit of width to make the difference when defences are packed against us.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 12:28:03
Ed, I personal would love Liverpool to sign Coutinho. He is only 18 and would cost around 20m but i really believe it to be money well spend. In my eyes he will become just as big as the like of Hazard, Sanchez and Pastore who will cost around 30m+.
Would you agree that Coutinho would be the perfect replacement for Gerrard? Do you think he would be interested in a move if Liverpool do make a move for him?
Thanks SW {Ed001's Note - he is a good player, but not so sure he is what we need, I don't think we need to replace Gerrard unless we are going back to the system Rafa used.}

17 May 2011 12:17:11
If u were to take into account all the rubbish that the fellow lfc fans say like definite signings etc. Then we would have a squad better than barca (exc messi, xavi, iniesta) so unless u have 100% confirmation and your willing to bet your mortgage on it that it's true and u give the source of where u got the info from then why bother

Anyhow I reckon (yes I said reckon not definitely know) we will spend a a fair few million on the lb department (most probably on someone like aly cissokho or Gael clichy) and we could make a move for a few rising stars (someone like bojan or coutinho maybe even some players like lukaku, borini, goetze, taarabt, eriksen, zaha frankly there are a few handfulls of rising stars available for free or on the cheap) next we should think of long term replacements for Stevie and carragher but not yet and they both have 5 and 3 seasons left in them respectively after they do end their careers here then a perfect replacement would be (not anyone over the top like pastore or sneijder) someone like moussa sissoko or dare i say Aaron ramsey (very good, skillful, quick, captain of wales and sick of being bench material under arsenhole w****r) and a brilliant choice for jamies replacement would be at the club already in Ayala or Wilson but if they both crash and burn then the psg captain would be good (forgot his name sorry)

Any Ed would love your opinion on this and yours too macca

P.s. 08-09 if only Kenny were there then

Ryan in red {Ed001's Note - sorry but you are talking nonsense, you can't expect sources and I am sick of telling people this. The minute you give a source you are running the risk of getting nothing from that source ever again.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 12:16:00
Hi Ed,

Quick one, I can't believe any of this talk of a striker, do you really believe with kuyt and Suarez's form and throw andy in the mix, we won't need another striker.

So what I'll say is all these armchair supporters this is not Football Manager/ FIFA this is a real
Club Whom we all support. So let's not be silly and expect Messi and ronaldo to be leading the line!

We will sign players that are neccesary and needed to stregthen.

Jake-Realistic Red.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 12:14:01
I know this is a rumours site but i genuinely believe that not one person knows on here exactly whats going on and who our signings will be. I can't believe all this Chris Blunt, Michael Owen nonsense. All i am thinking about is that our star man Pepe has had his talks with Commolli and has been told the calibre of player we are going for. He is happy at that so i believe that we can forget the brunts and owens being suggested and certainly look higher. Lets not rule out the Mata's & Agueros of this world as i think only that calibre of player could intice Reina to stay. Only my thoughts

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 12:08:49
Just read on sky spurs news website that sakho says hes staying with psg and just signed a new contract till 2014.he wants to become captain and play in champions league.also he knows where he wants to go.what you think ed?DORSET RED {Ed001's Note - he has been priced out of a move.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 12:03:19
Guillem has reported Man City, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Liverpool are intrested in kun! 45m euros is the price A.Madrid are likely to accept. Even if kun does not sign for lfc it still shows lfc are going in the right direction. Do lfc fans think Pepe has decided to stay at lfc because we are signing the likes of Adams or Jones?? (good players but hardly world class) I don't think so. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I am very much looking forward to the summer as should every Liverpool fc supporter. Ynwa

{Ed002's Note - Took him a while to catch up on this and still only got it part right. He seems to have missed the discussions that took place yesterday for a start.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 12:00:19
Liverpool will be signing some good squad players this summer few names; Marveux, Freidel, Long, Hitzlesperger, jarvis, Upson, Nagatomo. when the transfer window shuts you can quote me on this

17 May 2011 11:53:14
It has been reported that man city, real Madrid and dare I say liverpool are interested in kun aguero, now I am not saying we will sign him but it shows the intent and ambition of lfc and we are heading in the right direction! The future is bright the future is mersey red! Ynwa

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 11:52:20
What formation will the Reds play next season? I suppose that would depend on who is signed eg wingers etc. I think it could be a 4 1 3 1 1 like below:

Reina
Johnson Carra Agger Cissokho
Lucas
Marveaux Gerrard Payet
Suarez
Carrol

Bench: Gulasci, Merieles, Kelly, Skertl, Kuyt, Flanaghan, Adam.
Again, depends on the signings. .

I wish people would learn simple things like Atletico Madrid, not Athletico.

Aguero is over rated, we need a left back, two wingers, a centre half if Agger can't stay fit, and a central midfielder.

Spearing and Lucas have done well, but they are not the right players to push us up further, Lucas and another would suit for some games.

Gerrard needs to play wide right and Dirk back up front so we've 3 options up there.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 11:09:12
Players that should be shown the door:
Agger, Aurelio, Brad Jones, Koncheskey, El Zahr, Aquaman, Degan, Insua, N'gog, Jovanovic, Soto, Skrtel, Poulsen and Joseph Cole.

I GUARANTEE Aguero is not coming. I have friends in Spain as I used to live there and everyone there is assuring me that Aguero might move from Athletico but there is no chance that he will leave the country of Spain!
From all the articles that I have read, at this point, the only move that seems likely is Ashley Young. As Steve McMahon pointed out recently on ESPN, this is a great thing because Young would fit in very well in the Liverpool squad. Apart from Young, I also see a half-back coming in. Enrqiue seems like he wants to stay in Newcastle and Cissokho will probably stay in France. Insua will probably return but still a new defender should be signed.
In addition, a lot of young players are on Liverpool's radar. Conor Wickham from Ipswich, Phil Jones from Blackburn Rovers, and Phillipe Coutinho from Inter.
Finally, it seems like David N'Gog, Daniel Ayala, Sotrios Kyrgiakos, Milan Jovanovic and Christian Poulsen are on their way out for sure.
A formidable starting 11:
GK- Reina, RB- Johnson, CB- Carragher, CB- Agger, LB- Kelly, DM- Lucas, AM- Gerrard, RM- Meireles, LM- Young, ST- Carroll, ST- Suarez
Bench:
GK- Jones, CB- Skrtel, LB- Insua, RM- Kuyt, AM- Coutinho, RM- Rodriguez, CM- Spearing

SSRED11

- - - - - - -
I'm pretty sure this won't be the team for next year! liverpool want to do well and the only person who you think will be coming into the starting 11 is young? and the amount of people that are leaving, will leave us with such a fragile squad if there are any injuries. We will buy at least 6 to 8 new players 1st teamers and soom squad players.

What's this editors and Suarez signing issue?
Ed, is there something you said or didn't say about Suarez?
Just that I seen some posts refering to the eds' views on Aguero with folk saying it could be like Suarez, or something to that effect.

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are referring to I am afraid.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 10:34:52
Hi eds my question is not about who we will sign. Only people inside the club knows something.

But how aggressive we will be in the market. Usually we tend to sleep until mid july and all of a sudden burst into scene and make wrong decisions since most of the others will already be joining others. This is what happened even in january. Remember we bought even suarez on the final days when we know we need a striker most the whole month. So my question is how potent and competitive and aggressive will LFC be in transfer market. Finally who ever KD brings i will support. Pls reply

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool are constantly involved in the search for players, as every club are. This has always been the case. I am guessing you do not really understand the transfer process. Liverpool spent the whole of January trying to do a deal for Suarez. It was simply the fact that they did not offer enough money until the end.}

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 10:33:19
Spurs need to win to against Birmingham to be assured of a place in Europe. If they draw and we win, we get Europe due to goal difference. If they lose, and they can as we have seen them be their own worst enemies at times, and we win then we get Europe.
Keep the faith fellow Reds!

Hi Ed, great site! Please post on rumours page.
Maxi and Aguero DO NOT share the same agent! ! Maxi has Sergio Milewski and Aguero has Bruno Satin!
No idea if either of these were at Anfield on Sunday but if Satin was there it had nothing to do with Maxi!

Befor you start talking about who will be coming to LFC, you should think about who will be leaving and how much you can get for them, player sales will be a hugh part of your transfer kitty, and don't over valueate your saleable players.

Morning all, On me mobile so i can't c & p. With regaurds to the post at 3:39:44 am im not saying that Aguero will come to LFC, just how many times did torres say that he would fullfill his contract and we all know what happend there. There's only a few that know who we are trying to sign and i would asume that they know what there doing this time. Have a good all

. . . . . . .

I know its nothing to do with footy but what phone do you have? Is it touch screen.

Reds, Eds, Red eds

Everybody on here, add at least 7 mill on to yr Target lists for each player I'm afraid.

{Ed002's Note - The report is not about Liverpool, but Manchester City.}

Apparantly, rumours are circulating that Luis Suarez is in the process of learning English.

Re: the aguero sceptics on here (i am one of those btw)
i would just like to point out that 3 red sox players earn $20m+ per year. now im not sure about revenue in baseball and how much the red sox earn but big jon an the fsg crew are not scared to push boundaries (they transferred 2 players for a $300m fee [could be mistaken but someting like that anyway]) so maybe these rumours are not too far fetched. after all, he has stated he likes us an would know the city due to visiting mad maxi. his agent (also maxis) was in town recently, we are bookies fav's and before the ed's shoot me down, i would point to their opinions on suarez. don't honestly think it will happen however, i reckon there is a lot stronger interest and chance of him joining that some might suggest.

TomKop7 {Ed002's Note - Tom, I am afraid you are trying to compare apples and oranges. The $300M type figures you see are not transfer fees but the, typically, 10 year costs of a contract (including fees, wages, everything). The wages cannot be compared as so many things are different. As a simple example, Liverpool have 19 home games in a regular season, the Red Sox have 81. Yet again someone brings up Suarez. You seen to conveniently forget all of the good information provided. Quite often it really isn't worth bothering.}

Somehow I have a feeling that we're all wrong and a few signings are going to blow even the likes on s**tty out of the water. And I don't mean that in a financial sense, but in the sense that they will be quality signings no one is expecting.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 07:43:09
we have suarez why would we want aguero for me they are very very similar players.

we don't need him we need what the team needs and that's not another suarez type player.

there is only one suarez.

for certain wingers, all these so called fans having ago at carroll wait till we have wingers and he is fully fit he will be a beast up front for us.

ed what is the situation with carroll does he go to the u21 tournament or not? {Ed002's Note - I guess he has to go if he is fit.}

Don't u think that one season out of the europa league would not be a bad thing as it would let us concentrate on the prem and getting us back in the champions league where we belong.Ed. Do u think LFC want to be in the europa league next season ? {Ed002's Note - I am not sure what Liverpool want but the Europa League returns a decent income, is good for sponsors and keeps the profile up.}

Hi, ed:
If theses Aguero rumours are true. Do you think a front three with Aguero, Suarez & Carroll would work? I don't think so! {Ed002's Note - There would be no natural width, but you never know.}

I'm getting a bit sick of the greater British public underestimating the potential talent of their homegrown footballers, there are plenty of homegrown players under the age of 25 being linked with moves to liverpool and fans are writing them off because they're from a smaller or lower league clubs, all these amazing foreign players the fans want are not necessarily better players than local talent, they have just been nurtured by foreign clubs who have a little more patience and foresight to realise the potential of these youngsters, then sell them to english clubs for ridiculous sums of cash, this is also why the english football team has been failing in tournaments for years now, if the likes of Charlie Adam, Gary Cahill, Stuart Downing and so on were brought through a club like liverpool and given a chance to play with the big boys and be guided by good managers and coaches then there is no reason to think these players would be any worse than Hazard, Payet and the likes, it may or may not be too late for the likes of Adam and Downing, i'll let Kenny be the judge of that.

But i think if any player shows signs of great talent, then with proper guidance and coaching, then a lot more of these young players will become world class players, LFC is in a unique position within the EPL as we have KK spotting these young players within our own academy, and he has the foresight, and most of all the b****cks to nurture these young players so that future squads, both LFC and British national teams will benefit. Now we just need the fans to get behind the development of british footballers, and to just wait and see how some of these slightly older players develop within LFC before completely writing them off.

To add, i'm not saying to have 11 brits on the pitch, that's unrealistic and just not good for world football as a whole, i would love to see Mata and Suarez destroy defences, but we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the potential quality of any single player because of their current club or the players they have around them.

i also think andy carrol was a terrible signing, those goals against city were just talentless fluke goals, and now he's blaming injury for his current form, how could an injury possibly slow down your performances? oh and the england call-ups, no decent players ever get called up to represent their country these days, even his workrate against tottenham was high, good players with a good work ethic don't have a high workrate, especially big guys coming back from injury.

just horrible in my opinion, can't believe people would pay money for a talented, hard working footballer, what's wrong with football these days?

I don't understand why people are critisising Dirk Kuyt on the wing. He has played both on the left and right for Holland and have done so well. I think it's a matter of the team. If he can do so well for Hollad why not for us? With a goal and 3 assists at the World Cup last year, he was one of the reasons how Holland got that far. Remember, he played on the left wing during the world cup

Sakho - can cover 2 injury prone players Agger & Aurelio.
Marveaux - can cover lb, wings & attacking mid.
Young - can cover both wings
Mata & Cissokho - they are going to take the BPL by storm.

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 01:22:55
Adam, Young, McCarthy, Cahill, Enrique.

They are decent but do you think these sort of signings are enough to make Pepe stays? Comolli must've promised bigger players than those to Pepe.

Hold you breath it's going to be a big summer! (ed, pls post this)

 

 

 

 

17 May 2011 01:19:52
Ed can i ask your opinion on gago? do you think he is good enough for us?

LFC-IRE {Ed001's Note - I would say he could be with regular football under decent coaches, with that he could be an excellent player. Unfortunately injuries and terrible coaching at Madrid have set him back years.}
