Liverpool have been told that only an 'obscene' offer will be enough to land Luis Suarez from Ajax - with Anderlecht's Romelu Lukaku now seen as the club's primary target. (talk sport)

There's no way we are paying £25-30m for Suarez. I honestly can't see it happening and its boring the h* * out of me now. If he wanted to come he would tell the club and the deal could be done. Sunderland and Villa are making us look soft.

Ed, if you were asked to f@#k margaret thatcher in exchange for messi, ronaldo and kaka. Would you do it?

{Editors's Note: Not again.}

Ahhh Ed,
Does this mean you've done her once before already?
Oh that's just sooooo wrong!
I'd do it for Messi though to be fair, who did you do it for Ed?
It was Jovanovic wasn't it?
Oh you poor fella ha ! Lol!

Ed you know when Suarez was heavily linked to spurs and Harry said " no I know nothing of it he's a top player but no there isn't anything in that etc on sky sports. "
Kenny is going to be speaking to Ss soon about wolves game transfers will come up THAT is when we will find out if we are really going for Suarez kenny loves the fans look out how he rubbished claims of transfers in his post everton interview he knows what the fans go through. If we really werent intrested Kenny would have.

well if u r to blind to see that its everywhere, everyones talking bout it, its gunna happen, , where is ur concrete evidence he won't be coming? i see more evidence he will be than that he won't be

{Editor's Note: I struggle to see how you can see it going ahead.}

well what makes u so sure it wont, i don't see the media saying it won't happen, i don't see ajax coming out and rubbishing the claims, i don't see liverpool coming out and rubbishing the claims {ed's note - Ajax have come out and said they have not received an offer for him, but no one has taken any notice because they would rather read fantasies and get their hopes up.}

ok was it actually on the ajax official website that ajax have rubbished it, or was it these so called media writing fantasies? ?

No Arda Turan, no Suarez, no Downing or even Young. 2 signings to be made this week. They are waiting on Mr Babel. Once he's agreed terms with Hoffenheim, expect to hear of are first signing of the transfer window tomorrow, and the second on Friday.

Has suarez been seen at melwood Ed? {ed's note - no.}

yeah iam lol, u always want hard evidence, so im asking for ur evidence he hasnt been seen there {ed's note - I give up!}

ok ed give up, , , so ppl don't believe the ed when he says no to a question as he has nothing to back it up that he wasnt in liverpool or that suarez won't sign for liverpool {ed's note - are you for real?}

=======================================

Year Ed, why can't you produce lots of photos of Melwood with Saurez not in the picture? That would prove it, Even video evidence with him not in the video? LOL Brilliant post made my night

even pics and videos won't prove he wasnt there, , , what would prove it is if the ed could have an official statement made by liverpool fc saying he wasnt there and will not be signing for liverpool fc

Dude get the heck off the ED's back you have no clue what you are talking about suarez is not in england he has a game to play in holland tmoro or the next day he will be training with the squad you numpty! also the ED does not have to have hard evidence that suarez is at melwood because he has something called common sense you tool. . my suggestion is you use another site and stop being newt! !

ha ha so ed can ask everyone for sources and evidence when ppl claim things but we r not allowed to ask him for evidence, so where is the common sense come into it that suarez was not in liverpool or isn't signing for liverpool, u want evidence he is signing or is in liverpool so surely there has to be evidence he isnt, , , what cos he has a game to play in a couple days means he can't be in liverpool, who says hes gunna be in the game, do u have the team sheet for the game hes meant to be in is he starting or on bench, if u do then ill believe he wasnt in liverpool, and that he won't be signing for us within the next 7 days, , , works both ways numpty! !

I am doubt that the ed's have sources at all. One ed says we contacted about Gervinho, they said we didn't it. Another one said we're contacted about horua (sp), they talk just as much bs as anyone else. No one knows whats going on. They probably only claim to have sources to increase activity on this site. I don't remember anything they have said to be true. No offensive, you work hard and do a good job here but I have honestly not seen 1 thing you said to come true.

Eds guna look stupid if we get suarez ha. . . .

We're gonna look stupid if we pay over 15 million for him.

As I said earlier, his scoring record is only slightly better than Kuyt's in Holland, and he's playing for a far better side.

John B

{Editor's Note: And some Eds do no believe at all.}

he is that good he is worth £20-25 mill, , , kuyt may have scored many goals there too, but he isn't fast enough to cope with the epl pace, he can't pass he can't cross, , suarez has pace hes skillfull ppl may think its only the dutch league, but where did cruff play where did van persie start, where did van nistelrooy start, all these great players who started in the dutch league have become brilliant players

I reckon Ed knows that a deal is due for a striker (someone smart I reckon) because he is so vehemently rejecting any talk of a deal for Suarez being imminent. Come on Ed, who is the hush hush super signing that you clearly know about but can't reveal (i know what you will say in brackets at the end of my post: 'i can't reveal')

Hi ed, just like to say how much i feel sorry for you with all these stupid posts on suarez!
I'm not denying that we may be interested in him, just that people are using press articles as concrete evidence to reinforce his arrival. They write all kinds of rubbish for as many hits as possible.
Besides, it's looking very likely that babel is heading to germany, which if anything makes the deal less likely to happen as im sure ajax would have preferred a return for ryan just to sweeten the deal.
I also think that the club will still adopt a more home-grown policy, attracting good english talent to the club. If you ask me, the Aston Villa trio are looking like our best bet at the moment, also taking into consideration that they have just spent £20 million on one player.
Any thoughts ed?

Look if the Suarez lad is gonna come let's put this handball thing into perspective. It's the last minute of a world cup knockout game, your *country* is gonna go out if you concede, you are on the line and the ball is going in the back of the net if you do fk all. Dunno about you guys but for me that's an absolute no-brainer. Do not forget, he was sent off and Ghana were given a penalty. an adequate punishment. all they have to do is score and they're through. But they missed. I seen Suarez after it, the child was absolutely made up that his country were still in the game. .and they all mobbed him when they won, because he had sacrificed his world cup for them. So give the lad a chance. He's young, and he'll learn. If he's coming. If not, fk 'im.

ferd
==================================
Totally agree Ferd , if it was Liverpool and Stevie standing on the line in the last few minutes of a cup game I would expect him to do the same , and I would possibly curse him if he did nt.
Saying that the biting is questionable and his attitude generally stinks (so I hear).
He will have a hard time in the PL.
If it was me I would rather spend the 18 or so million on A Young

Agreed Ed, the Suarez circus is just that, no way would NESV allow one of their targets to be shouted arround the media in this way, it just inflates the price and NESV would IMO have backed out of the deal by now if there had been interest.
You've stated in the past that Liverpool have prepared an offer, do you know for what position? or like to hazard a guess?
Also, ESPN Soccernet has a story about Babel to Ajax but it is linked to a story of the accepted bid to Hoffenheim. Think this could be to force Ajax's hand? Perhaps to swap Babel for a player other than Suarez?
I rate ESPN very highly as I use their site for NFL, NBA, and NHL. Thanks again.

nesv can't stop the media no one can, , , and as there is only liverpool close to signing him and knows he can get suarez for no more than 25million he definitely won't pull out. .if he does then the fans will see hes not up to owning LFC, cos he has not lived up to his promise of turning liverpool round!

To everyone who said Suarez isn't tough enough and wouldn't hack it in the premier league, as the Dutch league is a weak and poor league, he played really well at the world cup. Surely Germany and Ghana are better than wigan and west ham.

I am a keen follower of this site and some stuff that come out from here sometimes are just fantastic but my fear is, we as Liverpool fans are we going to go through another window without signing a striker? It is suicidal to think that as big a club as Liverpool, we have got only 2 known strikers now on the books (Torres and Ngog) now that Babel might be going. Rafa made a mistake of not signing a quality striker that costed him his job same did Roy. The new owners now shoud make a statement now to bring in a quality striker like Suarez which I think will lift the squad and the fans as well. I hope Suarez will be a Liverpool player come 1st of Feb. LB, LW, RW priorities!

In: Warnock, Downing or N'zombia and Young or Turan

Out: Konchelski, Poulsen, Jova.

Who agrees spurs are a bunch of talent grabbing t* ts. do they need pienaar possibly but they bid in spite of chelsea. do they need suarez well they have a good enough attack force. pavlyuchenko, crouch, defoe, keane, VdV, and bout 10 more probs. rednapp makes no sense his defence is borrocks so buys strikers. anyway hope we get suarez and a decent winger and maybe a new defence after the goals we let everton score. lol oh and play pacheco

i agree, i don't think harry has a clue lol, his defence is carp, yet he wants to buy 11 attacking minded players lol that's why i wouldn't want him at lfc
=========================


Arh . They doing far better than our defence ?(?
I don't like Harry, I think the distance between him and honesty is bigger than the universe , but you have to give him credit, he done better than many expected , and his team playing good football.

This is unbearable.
Transfer speculation in the past has been quite relaxed and a bit of fun but there seems to be a really desperate edge to a lot of the speculation and guess work going on here now. I guess it's because of our poor league position and some insecurity about our standing as a top european attraction.
Who's coming in? Nobody knows! Elia, Suarez, Downing, Young etc etc. it goes on and on.
Where do we need to strengthen?
Well, there's left back because Aurelio never seems to get picked and Konchesky is the new Julian Dicks and Warnock should know that going back never works out well. If that one's true.
Central defence. Too busy worrying about which tattoo to get next to organise defending. Every now and again Agger glides out of defence in a Hansen-esque manner, but doesn't seem to posses the neccesary 'eyes in the back of his head' needed to protect the danger area. Skrtl looks and plays like an ex-paramillitary security guard.
Center midfield? Lucas has managed to raise his game to the high standard of average but still couldn't pass wind after a bean eating contest. Mereilles could potentially achieve reasonable status. I like Shelvey though, I think he could come good. Despite a passing resemblence to the banjo boy from Deliverance.
Right midfield. Watching Kuyt turn on the ball reminds me of someone trying to get a new fridge through a kitchen door.
Left midfield. Do we have one? We seem to just keep chucking converted front men into that position to suck the confidence out of them - Babel, Jovanovic, Cole etc.
Centre forwards. N'gog. Would make a great hat-stand. Maybe we could convert one of our left-wingers back into a forward of some sort?
So apart from a small handful of excellent players, we need some drastic bodywork doing. I've a terrible feeling that even the dumbest and greediest footballers around Europe might be able to spell 'Liverpool' and see where we are in the league.
I really hope we get Suarez. Who cares if he's a little bit on the morally dodgy side? That's what they said about Cantona before he joined Manure.

Red Square.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
GENIUS! . . and spot on about every position in the team/ squad! !. .in my opinion we need a gud 6/ 7 top players between now and next season. gonna b a long season/ summer!

Ed, realistically how big do you think our transfer pot is? Do we have to sell to buy and if so who would we sell to drum up the cash to buy either now or in the summer? I think if we don't do some clever business this window we will probably use the cash from the inevitable sale of Torres in the next to buy. These rumours all come at a cost, I was just interested if we have the funds available.

" i don't think the lfc website would lie about bids in an official statement ".

How naive are you? - of course they would lie, anything to try and keep the fans happy, H&G lied about a stadium ( helped by a recession of course ), and I suppose NESV haven't lied because they have promised f* k all, so they have no need to lie as yet.

===========================

So we're not good enough now but we could lure him back if we signed Stuart Downing, Ashley Young or Charlie Adam? Yes that should do the trick, he'll come fuc*ing running if we sign any of these world beaters LOL

I seen Suarez after it, the child was absolutely made up that his country were still in the game. .and they all mobbed him when they won, because he had sacrificed his world cup for them. So give the lad a chance. He's young, and he'll learn. If he's coming. If not, fk 'im.

==================================
Totally agree Ferd , if it was Liverpool and Stevie standing on the line in the last few minutes of a cup game I would expect him to do the same , and I would possibly curse him if he did nt.
Saying that the biting is questionable and his attitude generally stinks (so I hear).
He will have a hard time in the PL.
If it was me I would rather spend the 18 or so million on A Young

Who agrees spurs are a bunch of talent grabbing t* ts. do they need pienaar possibly but they bid in spite of chelsea. do they need suarez well they have a good enough attack force. pavlyuchenko, crouch, defoe, keane, VdV, and bout 10 more probs. rednapp makes no sense his defence is bollocks so buys strikers. anyway hope we get suarez and a decent winger and maybe a new defence after the goals we let everton score. lol oh and play pacheco

r u jokin mate?? spurs have been doing exactly wot we should have been doing over the last few years! buying quality players every transfer window! slowly but surely they have built up their squad buy buying slightly better each time and now they have a squad capable of challenging the top 4 and with a few shrewd signings in the next year or 2, could b challenging for the title! harry redknapp is a genius in the transfer window! !

This is unbearable.
Transfer speculation in the past has been quite relaxed and a bit of fun but there seems to be a really desperate edge to a lot of the speculation and guess work going on here now. I guess it's because of our poor league position and some insecurity about our standing as a top european attraction.
Who's coming in? Nobody knows! Elia, Suarez, Downing, Young etc etc. it goes on and on.
Where do we need to strengthen?
Well, there's left back because Aurelio never seems to get picked and Konchesky is the new Julian Dicks and Warnock should know that going back never works out well. If that one's true.
Central defence. Too busy worrying about which tattoo to get next to organise defending. Every now and again Agger glides out of defence in a Hansen-esque manner, but doesn't seem to posses the neccesary 'eyes in the back of his head' needed to protect the danger area. Skrtl looks and plays like an ex-paramillitary security guard.
Center midfield? Lucas has managed to raise his game to the high standard of average but still couldn't pass wind after a bean eating contest. Mereilles could potentially achieve reasonable status. I like Shelvey though, I think he could come good. Despite a passing resemblence to the banjo boy from Deliverance.
Right midfield. Watching Kuyt turn on the ball reminds me of someone trying to get a new fridge through a kitchen door.
Left midfield. Do we have one? We seem to just keep chucking converted front men into that position to suck the confidence out of them - Babel, Jovanovic, Cole etc.
Centre forwards. N'gog. Would make a great hat-stand. Maybe we could convert one of our left-wingers back into a forward of some sort?
So apart from a small handful of excellent players, we need some drastic bodywork doing. I've a terrible feeling that even the dumbest and greediest footballers around Europe might be able to spell 'Liverpool' and see where we are in the league.
I really hope we get Suarez. Who cares if he's a little bit on the morally dodgy side? That's what they said about Cantona before he joined Manure.

why is it so unlikely lol, he has said hed like to play for us cos the spanish influence he has said hed like to link up with torres, and he wants in the epl, and in the epl only we r going strong for him, tottenham r not, they r interested but not showing much interest, other than us 2 there is no one else going in for him cos at the moment they don't need another striker, we r favourites for him even tho we don't have champions league football, im sure he knows liverpool r big club and will be back there sooner or later

What with the rumours about Liverpool interested in Aston Villa wingers Downing and Young. . We may well be interested in both of them, but one of the guys I worked with today, said he was at Ashley Young's house recently installing something - and Ashley wants to move to United and not us.

Not especially gutted as I don't think he is the answer.

Question is whether Villa will sell even one of their wingers, let alone both of them.

lol he may want to go to united but united won't be buying this january, and probably won't even want ashley young in summer so im sure we could get him if we wanted too lol

Getting a bit sick of all the Suarez rumours. If we sign him, great. I hope he would turn out a decent signing. But I am honestly a bit down due to the fact that we did not get Bent. Thought he would have been perfect.

So as far as strikers go, I am a bit unsure. I would really like Llorrente just like a lot of people on here but I dunno if he would be willing to move in January. And isn't he quoted at around 30m? I think NESV are willing to spend big but would probably need more time to consider that kind of an outlay. Aguero would be great as well but that is the same scenario.

So I really can't say which striker I would want us to sign. Maybe go for a young striker like Wickham though I do not think he would at too much that we do not have right now. He is certainly one for the future but I cannot see him coming into the team immediately and helping to pull us up the table.

I would probably go for two young strikers in this window, Wickham and someone in the Walcott mold with bags of pace. Don't know much of this Marvin Sordell from Watford. Would he fit the bill?

Ed or anyone else, which strikers would you sign that we could definitely get in this window? Don't have to be English or starlets those are just two that I picked.
Anfield Rapstar YNWA {ed's note - I would go for Llorente no matter the cost, he is the best I can see available or Giuseppe Rossi.}

Dunno about you guys but for me that's an absolute no-brainer. Do not forget, he was sent off and Ghana were given a penalty. an adequate punishment. all they have to do is score and they're through. But they missed. I seen Suarez after it, the child was absolutely made up that his country were still in the game. .and they all mobbed him when they won, because he had sacrificed his world cup for them.

Boston red Sox owners have money, and are not afraid to spend it. If they want a player, they go get him. They are second in spending only to the New York Yankees.
I ahve faith in John Henry, as I have seen him pull out the stops on huge contracts over and over again, contracts that humble and EPL contracts.

Mark my words, it will happen. In Boston, there is always hype before a big name player is signed, much like the Suarez situ.
I would bet my morgage that he will be here before the week is out.

I also think we will sign a winger. He is a Villa player, asnd the deal is all but done. Where did Villa get the money for Bent. they don't have it. Ashley young i bet.

Just because the owners didn't come out on the 4th of Jan and spend 100mil on players doesn't mean we are not going to buy any players. Even a blind man could see we are in desperate need of new blood in the team. If we didn't get any new players then in my view its a stupid move, and I don't think Henry has got to where he is by being stupid.

Anyone else think it's a bit strange babel going to Germany (for a fee quoted at approx £5.9m)?

Wasn't Birmingham intrested recently at £9m?

Anyway stop worrying about signings, if we can they (NESV) will make them, but remember we were a champions league team and we possibly won't even get european football next year (not saying we won't just trying to be a realist, however if we play like we did in the 1st half against the blues and we may get a chance). So getting the marque signings might not happen.

Also players signed will worry that they won't fit into a new managers plans and that potentially changes in July, so great Kenny's back but not great for signing people unless they are that convinced in their ability to play first team regardless of whose manager.

I count me in the people who hated Roy and wanted him out but do't start the same negativity against the board (I know it won't go to Daglish), we've got to better than that and we've got a team on champions league wages but without champions league football so somethings going to have to give.

It's going to take time and we need to be patient, now all I need is to post this and LFC to announce a major signing :o)

John Henry from the start has not been happy with so many players on the books paying out high wages. He wants the squad reduced for purchases can be made. KK will use some of the younger boys with potential and will try and off load the likes of Poulson, Jovanavic, all the players out on loan.

SERIOUSLY NO BUYS THIS JANUARY JUST SALES

Must be weaker. We are after players from these teams. . think about it. (N'zogbia, Adam, Cole, Jarvis). Geez Ferd, you sold yourself on this one.

- - - - -


OK I'll bite. Although to point out to you that individual players from these teams are not a representation of their squad strength might seem churlish, and a little patronising. . since you seem to be able to get your posts posted twice, and mine only get a single outing, I'll take all the printspace I can get.

Yes, some teams have strengthened, but others have weakened. . and as crazy as it seems in the world of averages, some teams appear to have stayed at roughly the same level.

Having said that, Blackpool can't be classified in any of those categories compared to us, as we haven't been playing them in the league for the odd decade. Amazingly enough, they seem to be doing well with a decent manager, some heart, and some honest effort. 3 things we appear to have recently found down the back of the sofa as it happens

Suarez to join liverpool! after pienaar is going to spurs.

======================================
What does Pienaar going to Spurs have to do with us signing Suarez?
- - - - - - - - - -
I think he means that spurs have too many attacking options and that suarez wouldn't get 1st team football
- - - - - - - - - -
you right, it's look to me that Pienaar was a plan B for spurs after they was denied to negotiate with Suarez and we are the only big contenders to get him now

King Kenny is resorting to how we used to operate; keep the press sweet, back your players in public, give young ambitious players a chance as they play with no fear, and keep business inclusive of transfers behind closed doors. It's how it should be and is how it was, the good days will return but will take time. I still think we will see some transfer movement both in and out in the next two weeks. In my opinion a defensive midfielder, striker and wingers are the priorities. Don't think we will get four players in though, not in this transfer window. In the King we trust, patience is required, keep the faith.

I am now confident that we must be making some positive moves in the transfer market. Maybe already done and waiting to announce players together my wish would be a triple of suares, young or honda and cahil or mexes

Bit of info on ARDA TURAN :He was made the skipper of the club in the beginning of 2009-10 season and is highly tipped to be the next Gheorghe Hagi: The Romanian legend who played for the same club and with whom Turan shares his jersey, No. 10.
The highly rated wing wizard is exceptionally talented and mainly known for his ball control, speed and mazy runs from the left wing to tear through the defenders. Being able to play with both the feet, on both the wings and also behind the striker would give Liverpool an advantage with his adaptability on the pitch.
Turan is a great dribbler with the ability to beat full backs at will.
Because of his adaptability to play as a winger and an attacking midfielder, Turan would fit into any new manager's regime.Turan is only 23 years of age and would perfectly fit into John Henry's "young and talented" players criteria. This also gives Liverpool a long term investment in the future star.
At the age of 23, Turan has 40 national caps for Turkey and has scored 10 goals in the making. He was the brightest young player in Euro 2008 and his four goals in 11 appearances helped Turkey reach semi finals of the Euro 2008.
In the Turkish League, Turan scores one goal almost every four games and has the assist to games ratio of 1:2.
In his breakthrough season of 2009-10, he had a total of 11 goals and a staggering 25 assists. As a winger, his ability to provide one assist every second game makes him lethal on the wings and will be profligate useful for Liverpool, where Fernando Torres often finds the lack of support from wide.Despite being one of the Europe's hottest properties Turan, would cost in the region of £12 Million. Ashley Young or Juan Mata, who are in the same quality as Turan, would not cost less than £18 to £20 Million.
Liverpool's Emiliano Insua is on a season long loan to Galatasaray which could also help bring the dazzling star to Anfield.
The European cup-tied issue may not allow Liverpool to play Turan in Europa League this year. However, Turan's dynamic overall attacking play Liverpool could definitely improve their chance to do so.
Combining all of these factors and comparing Turan with other options we can say that in Arda Turan Liverpool have found an extremely balanced, talented, versatile and attacking winger cum playmaker who could just be the perfect match to resolve the issues on either flanks and add some flair to it. Turan has already rejected Spurs' reported £10 Million plus player, Dos Santos, offer last summer. Atletico Madrid were also unsuccessful to sign him for £11 Million this year.
Perhaps Turan is waiting for Liverpool to make an official bid for him to fulfil his dream of playing for the Mighty Reds. A player can not do anything more than this to show that he wants to play for Liverpool.Just recently Turan shared his love for the club and issued a come-and-get-me plea. He said: "As I always mention, Liverpool attracts me because of their tradition. In Europe, I am a Liverpool supporter so if I go to play in Europe I'd like to play for them.

now with money from babel we should sign him plus insua would definately work his bum off for the shirt.thoughts ed sorry for long post DORSET RED

I feel that we are being linked with players that are not up to the Liverpool quality even if we have been playing rather poorly lately. We need to replace Alonso but not with layers like Charlie Adam. A player like Ever Banega could be that player or maybe Javi Martinez for the future. With that a 4-3-3 could be played with Agger, a world class center back, and a left back such as Taiwo. Then Gerrard, Banega, and Meireles could play in the middle and then bring in Suarez and Honda to partner Torres as a three pronged attack that would destroy defenses in the EPL. We do not need a new right back with the way Kelly is playing and should be able to claim that right back position as long as they base it off how a player plays and not age or the fact that Johnson is the starting right back for England. I feel that a defender like Sahko would be a good signing buy also feel Cahill could be a good balance for Agger and be way better than Skrtel at this moment. But I would prefer Sahko or start using our youngsters like Wilson or Ayala. So all in all we need to sure up or defense, and a few attacking players and we could easily climb the table.

Surely you are missing the point. Dalglish has repeated time and again that he was happy to come to the job with the squad of players that exists now. This, minus Masch, is the same squad that finished 7th last year, and minus Alonso, the same squad fundamentally that finished 2nd the year before. By this logic, (and the logic is undeniable, even allowing for wear and tear on the playing staff), we are only 2 or 3 players from being back there. One player does not make a team, and by extension, a team is more than one player.

* * * * * * * *
Ferd mate, you are so wrong. Yes, same team minus masch, minus alonso. . blah blah. You forget other teams have sepnt money, improved and we have gone backwards at a rate of knots. .

If no deals are completed then obviously the deals weren't done for the best for Liverpool Football Club.

Ajax coach Frank de Boer is confident that star player Luis Suarez will not leave the Godenzonen for another club during the winter transfer window.

The Uruguay international, who turns 24 next week, is continually being linked with a move to Liverpool, but De Boer questions whether the Reds have the financial resources to meet Ajax's asking price.

Is this an invitation from a club with financial problems ?

Follow readers and Ed

With LFC tracking Downing, who is average with a decent left foot, have you not noticed that not one other TOP club in the world are remotely INTERESTED! Is it any wonder that only GERRARD and TORRES will get into the top 4 teams!Ed. whats your thoughts on the players we are after. Please be brutally honest. We shouldn;t be spending money for the sake of it on more rubbish.

{Editor Note: In any case, because other top clubs aren't in for a player doesn't mean he isn't any good.}

Suarez isn't coming this january unless 'a collossal amount of money' is bid for him - Ajax Manager.

We have no chance with Downing or Young - Gerard Houllier just said in a conference that they are not for sale and they will not let their best players go until their contract runs out.

Rumours of signing Van Bommel knocking around. .hope we don't; he's a dirty b* tard.

Hope we sign Turan and off a 'collossal' amount for Suarez (probably 22m or so).

Maybe we should sign a CB or we could bring Wilson into 1st team ahead of Skrtel and Carra at less competetive games. Or we could sign a LB and let Kelly move to CB and Johnson back to RB.

What you reckon ed?
Olly :)

We're entering the final third of the transfer window and it was pretty well known that Liverpool and Villa are the 2 clubs that needed investment. So far they have spent 30 million while we have recouped 7 million. I know people are saying nesv are preparing bids and bs like that but isn't it slightly concerning. I trust nesv but I am feeling some anxiety towards this transfer window. Any smoothing words Ed regarding players.

Ryan - tell the Germans to do one, stay at Anfield and prove all the doubters wrong, or run your contract down and make a fortune when you leave.

You deserved better 81 appearances on the bench, Benitez treated you like crap, I for one think given the chance you will be awesome for Liverpool.

Stay and fight and prove to them you were not bought for £11m to be a winger, and show them why you are a Dutch International.

There is a reason Babel is on his way out, he is not good enough. Benitez, Hodgson and Dalglish have both worked with him on a daily basis and all have decided not to give him a run in the side.

But if we ONLY get Suarez, then surely we have missed the chance to make a real statement about where we are heading?

Players are apparently reluctant to commit to us as the managerial situation is not settled. There is also some fear of us being relegated - oh sorry! I forget the immortal expression - "we are too good to go down!" Surely this is the time to grab Honda, Turan and one more player to show we mean business?

To Steve Parker:

Surely you are missing the point. Dalglish has repeated time and again that he was happy to come to the job with the squad of players that exists now. This, minus Masch, is the same squad that finished 7th last year, and minus Alonso, the same squad fundamentally that finished 2nd the year before. By this logic, (and the logic is undeniable, even allowing for wear and tear on the playing staff), we are only 2 or 3 players from being back there. One player does not make a team, and by extension, a team is more than one player.

Talk of relegation implies that you believe our squad to be worse than that of Blackpool's, of Blackburn's, and one of Wigan, Wolves or West Ham. Worse than West Brom?

There will be transfers or there will not be transfers, but what is undeniable is the fact that the squad has the capability of finishing in the top half. I believe you have been listening to Andy Gray a little too much.

Gerrard Houlier has just confirmed live on skysports that no bids have been made for either Downing or Young and both are NOT for sale. So. . . . who the fu*k is Kenny going to buy?? I fear we will either end up buying sh1te or no one at all untill the summer with the youngsters (Pacheco and Ince) being used more in the interim. I bet we end up buying Negredo or another mediocre Striker and Sunderland end up buying a far superior striker to partner Gyan, as Henry end got the balls to buy for the short term and Kenny has too much pride to risk wasting 25m on 1 player.

Not a rumour, just hard facts as to why 20 to even 25 million pounds should not be worth thinking twice about when signing suarez,

Wow wee is all i can say, why is anyone worrying about the price, he seems well worth £20 odd million quid, his ajax record is as follows, 07/ 08 = 44 apps, 22 goals, 08/ 09 = 43 apps 28 goals, 09/ 10 = 48 apps, 49 goals, 10/ 11 = 23 apps, 13 goals, 154 apps for ajax, 110 goals, again i say wow wee! ! career total apps, 222, career goals = 139, for all teams and country, his goal scoring record is amazing, very torres like, some fool called darren bent just cost villa 18 mil which is to go up to 24 mil, i think we better sign suarez before another club gets him as we really have nothing to offer him except a fight to get top 10, he seems keen to join so we should pay up, anybody agree. .lol, non brainer is'nt it! :

Let's clear up a few things:

1. For all those who are claiming: Ajax needs cash quickly: not true, Ajax still has plenty of equity / own assets. So Ajax does not need to sell!
2. Ajax has already stated that they only will sell (during this transfer window) Suarez if the amount is ridiculous high. Ajax is looking at 30 million Euro's (about 25 million GBP) at this moment.
3. For all those people who said: Suarez is at Melwood. Not true, he still is in A'dam. This morning and this afternoon he was at the training facility.

{Editor Note: I think Babel has had plenty of chances, but has been inconsistent and failed to produce the goods. People talked about his talent but he never really showed it.}

Well, I agree to a degree, but as someone has already posted that he never played 3 games in a row. He would score a wonder goal then not even be in the squad. Not doubt he also has himself to blame for his lack of progress, but I also think that we do have a knack of not getting the best out of certain players. Babel was a player I always thought would torment defenses, but alas it wasn't to be. I hope that his new club will bring the best out of him & he can be the player he has the potential to be. Good luck Babel!

Well since Babel is on his way out we will sertanly get a new striker and a winger. Suarez looks to be the striker accoring to the media (even tho i think this seems alot like the Elia rumours some weeks ago) and for the winger i think it will be either downing or Young, hoping we are atleast considring Honda and we all know that Dalglish likes Turan so i guess we willl atleast talk to galatasaray if its possible to sign him this window (of course if kenny has anything to say about the transfers since hes only here for a half year contract for now).

What's the point in signing average players who will at best only have moderate success and stifle the progression of our young players. I would be happier if Kenny didn't sign anyone and instead blooded some of our young players. Let's face it this season has got to be written off so why not use it as an opportunity to give players like Wilson, Kelly, Pacheco, Spearing, Ayala, Shelvey and perhaps even Suso if he's ready, the chance to prove themselves. I think that's an impressive list and even if only two or three really cut the mustard we can concentrate on signing top quality players to top up the squad. Spend big on two or three top top quality players rather than a drip feed of average Premiership players who are ultimately not going to take us anywhere. In other words stay away from Downing he's the dictionary definition of f* king average.

He said nothing about players coming in and I wouldn't have expected him to be in a position to tbf

Just because the fee between the two clubs has been agreed doesn't mean Ryan will agree terms, although if the lad wants to play first team football then you would have to think he would opt to agree terms, unless Ajax comes in with a bid.

Furthermore can anybody add clarity to the agreed fee? Sky Sports News "believe" the fee to be in the region of £7 Million, but they tend to be as accurate as some of our players passing, and the Liverpool Echo is reporting the fee as £5.8 Million?

Going off our recent transfer deals (disclosed and non disclosed) I would tend to believe the £5.8 Million to be more accurate. I can't begin to assess the "value" of Babel due to his non regular status, but if £5.8 is the fee then I can't help thinking he is going slightly on the cheap.

Suarez won't end up joining Liverpool , there has been so much hype about the player that around Liverpool everyone is made up , just to be disappointed, don't get me wrong he's a good player but Liverpool are heading in the wrong direction , why would he join a Liverpool team who are only 4 points of the relegation zone . Even if you now a source inside of the club they aren't allowed to tell people , today so much has gone round about Suarez , people saying he's in London having a medical , then people saying Hilton hotel then another one at melwood , who do people think he is superman !

Unvelievable! It's awesome that Darren Bent cost 24m. Ed here the people are talking that we ''will offered'' around 20m for Suárez. What do you think, that Villa deal is a joke or our deal is a joke? Or the world are changing?

{Editor Note: Bent is good but he isn't worth £24m.}

{editor: Heard nothing on the rumour front. Babel has not been treated unfairly at Liverpool, he is just not good enough for us.}

i must say i disagree ed he has been left on the bench so much n when he gets played, he gets played out of position. he has stated so many times he prefers being used as a striker because that's his natural position

Ed/ s, you know the runnings of the club better than I do, can you please explain why we have let go such a talented player at a good age without giving him a chance or made to feel wanted in comparison to some of the other players?

Its a shame that Liverpool are unable to get the best out of its players.

Right, so Babel isn't going to Hoffenheim now? I suppose on LFC's announcement they say nothing about being officially confirmed. As long as this all ends up with a good striker being brought in then I don't give a damn.

The ref to Babel not going to Hoffenheim is based on the tweets of @ rrrodje

Adam Johnson his a right sided midfielder Ed are you really qualified to edit a sight like this, maybe you a re like rafa and buy a player to play out of position.

{Editor Note: Different ed. He actually started his career as a left-midfielder and is left-footed. Middlesbrough fans always wanted him to be on their left-wing instead of Downing. He plays on the right for Man City as Mancini liks playing left-footed players on the right and vice-versa.}

My thoughts on the downing rumours are he is
a decent EPL player and for those that are saying
he's no good, not liverpool quality, what are you comparing him to, the past or the present, there is
no one in the 1st team squad at present to compare him with so what he brings can only make us a better
team with more options?

Thoughts anyone

BABEL: sorry to see you go son. . thought you could have been a contender! But lets be honest. . you didn't set the world alight. . Will remember you for goals against arsenal and chelsea in the champions league and the winner against united. . You never played 3 games in a row for liverpool which begs the question. . why did we buy him. . I don't blame kenny at all for letting you go. . If we are not going to play you then there's the door. . the damage was done before kenny arrived.
I hope this is a lesson for lfc. . do not sign someone who has not been scouted properly again. . Wenger looked at him and decided not to buy him after scouting him for months. . there must have been a reason for it!
Good luck in the future ryan p.s don't use twitter!

Downing is better than what we have got playing left wing, so why isn't he the answer, he scores goals as pace can cross a ball.He is the best wide left player in england, Gerrard and milner are not better left wingers.They get picked ahead of him there because of politics.I like Downing he is a good player he is English and as experience.He is only 26. We have been crying out for a genuine wide player.If Kenny needs A left winger he will buy one.He won't buy a second striker and play him there.Like our other managers have done in the past.

From our Editorial Telesport
LONDON - Liverpool have reached an agreement with Germany's Bayern Munich on the transfer of Ryan Babel. Yet it is not a foregone conclusion that the 24-year-old striker to leave the Bundesliga.


Ryan Babel
Babel said this morning in Telesport like half years on loan to his former club Ajax wish to come and stay with that position. "Hoffenheim is only one option should not be let Ryan Babel of Ajax does not want, " said his agent Winnie hatred law. "Then we will leave open the possibility. Hoffenheim is obviously a nice club."
Babel explained earlier today in Telesport why his preference for a lease to Ajax. "I am not in favor of a permanent transfer in the winter window, because by the short preparation time than automatic with no opportunity to build your teammates, " said the international.

Babel wants Ajax, so why not pay about 12mil+Babel for Suarez great deal? His a great player, he shouldnt go to Hoffenhein

New owners = new cash

Yeah right - I'll have a pint of what your drinking.

H&G gave the waiter cash - and I may be proved wrong but I do not expect NESV to provide any more than they did, especially to what they say is only temporary manager ( even though he is a God ).

J Henry please prove me wrong, but I do expect King Kenny to shop in bargain basement and play the kids more.

Has any one seen any encouragement from NESV that they will provide much needed funds?

{Editor Note: Have you been on an island since 2007? Gillette and Hicks didn't give Benitez any cash. Most of his funds came from selling players. And how can we possibly see any encouragement that they will provide funds when we're only in one transfer window, and a difficult one to work in and that.}

I hope we have accepted a reasonable price for him
but might not happen as he went to West Ham and Tottenham at the end of last season and nothin happened there.

I keep my fingers crossed tha these Suarez rumours are true as him and Torres would bond and most surely make the Most decorative partnership in the EPL.

Lets apply some logic here for a change, we urgently need width and a striker. Anyone can see this. We are selling the only non starter that offers this so a better player or players preferably must be coming in otherwise the board would be weakening an already weak team. Doesn't make sense, there will be a signing and logic dictates an improvement so trust in the king! It will happen and it will make everyone happy which seems to be what the owners are all about. That said though good as suarez clearly is, he's a dirty cheat - we can do better, we stand for more, united player if ever i saw one!

The offer for Babel is the same as Pienaar. It has opened up a bidding war and forced Ajax's hand. Suarez will not sign until the summer but not for Liverpool mainly because of lack of European football. Karl

Babel cud of been a make weight for the suarez deal, but if he is sold we wud hav 2 pay 20m, which our CHEAP CHEAP owners are unwilling 2 pay. All they wanna do is buy cheap , players "for the future" and hope they turn out 2 be superstars in a few years, instead of buying top quality players who can help us save our season. They don't hav a clue!
If we do poorly this season we will not be able to sign big players, which will make our top players want to move, forcing us to move for average players, which will make us a mid table team, and we will not be able to regain our champions league status or buy quality players for some years to come. .

OK ed what makes you say this - - Downing is an improvement on Babel?

Is it because Downing is a winger and Babel isn't, and he never professed to be, or maybe that Downing actually gets given a chance, albeit for AV, if he was that good he'd surely be in in England side desperate for someone to play on the left - Milner, Cole ( Joe ), Stevie G get picked out of position instead of him.

So please don't tell me Downing is the answer - if he is I'd love to know what the question is.

Unbelievable - here we go again, pay £11 million for a player we buy as a striker and never play him there, and take more than a £4 million pound loss on him.

Our scouting system must be the envy of the PL, every other team makes profit on players.

I think the only player we have actually made a profit on in recent years has been Xabi.

Forget about signings let's have a guess at the outs - that are guaranteed losses, ones that rumours say may be going.

Poulsen & Konchesky - no one will match what we paid.
Johnson - we'll be lucky to take a £5m loss
Kuyt - I don't think he'll go - but we'd take a big loss oh him.

I'm sure one will put me right on people we have made a BIG profit on.

I want Luis Suarez to come too, and if he does, all that will be needed would be a left back and maybe a holding midfielder to cover the back 4.

Liverpool have accepted a bid for Holland international Ryan Babel from Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim. Skysports.comrevealed earlier on Tuesday that the forward was undergoing a medical with the German side ahead of his anticipated Anfield exit.And the Reds confirmed soon after that the offer they had received for the former Ajax player, believed to be in the region of £7million, would be enough to secure his services.Babel has now been given the green light to hold discussions over personal terms before putting pen-to-paper with his prospective new employers.

Ryan Babel deal big news. . .apart from the last couple of hours how come anybody did not have that info about Hoffienheim. .it was all about Babel and a 90% done swap deal for Suarez. . we cannot afford to buy Suarez. . Ajax have said it will require an absurd amount of money for them to sell him.

18 Jan 2011 17:13:26
Liverpool Rumours
Ryan Babel to Hoffenheim is for 7million POUNDS NOT EUROS. The initial fee is for £5.8m rising to £7m.

The reason why Liverpool have accepted this bid is to try and get Ajax talking sensibly regarding Luis Suarez. Liverpool hold serious interest in Suarez and have made enquiries but Ajax are holding out for an 'absurd' amount of money. Liverpool are hoping to entice then with cash plus Babel for Suarez and hope by accepting a bid for a former Ajax academy player and a player they still admire and hold interest inm the hope is that they start talking sensibly and look at figures realistically.

Why are spurs always trying to nab our targets, can't they just kiss off and make their own transfer list


I might just be talking out my apse but the more I think about it the more it seems to make sense.

1) Liverpool have 30 million to spend in the transfer window.

2) Liverpool take interest in a player of substantial reputation ie) Suarez someone whos price can fluctuate quite a few million.

3) Spurs register their interest in the same player (Having champions league football and hopes for the title have their desired affect)

4)The agent and the club talk to both interested partys ie:player and club

5)Almost overnight you were trying to secure the player for 15 million now you are looking at 20-25 million plus overinflated personal terms to secure the deal.

Spurs are using their stature to inflate everything meaning our budget decreases even though they have no real interest in the player its actually very shrewd bit of business.They can't do it to the likes of man city, United , Arsenal but they can screw us big time.

Ed am I talking sense or twirling deeper and deeper into the depths of paranoid conspiracy theorys.

Hi Eds

Just thinking about the rumours going around. The way LFC have conducted business since Benitez left is to keep their cards close to their chest. Remember Cole and Merieles, there was very little mentioned. Therefore, I don't think we are getting Suarez, I think this is all a smoke screen for someone else, possibly even Aguero or llorente. Also, I think the Honda deal is done, another where the rumours have gone quite and fits the bill for the owners (and will sell shirts). Look out for Cahill signing as well, will be a good signing for us. All English back line of Johnson, Carra, Cahill and Warnock

I don't mean to blow my own trumpet but i did say the Suarez deal wouldn't involve a player going the other way this isn't what Ajax want they want money the initial bid was rejected nobody knows what fee it was. Liverpool have made another bid and the news will come through this evening Ajax are looking for 22 million. They know that they need to sell him soon as he will not stay there after 2013 and in just one year it will be the next window and he will leave for a very small fee. We haven't signed him just yet but believe me we are very much interested.

RED WILLY {ed's note - I can't see him having the intelligence to think of that. I think he just literally wants to buy everyone, that means more brown envelopes}

My thoughts are he is waiting for a brown envelope big enough not only to set him up for life but to also hide his face in , he literally offends my tv every time he is on it.
I thought the brown envelope his family got from Nintendo would have done the trick but then again he does have a whopper of a head.He looks like a madamme tussauds waxwork model that's been put to close to the fire.
I went to a works dinner were Ruddock was doing his stand up routine (The guy nicked my last fag and is an absolute tw*t) but is funny as.
He told this bit were Redknapp was managing West ham and a season ticket holder sat behind used to rip Harry at every home game.
Whilst digging into harry whilst west ham were 2-0 down he made the comment that he was better at front than the sh*te Harry had got.
At half time Harry took this guy into the dressing room stuck him in a shirt and sent him out to play.
The lad only goes and scores setting up the second and they won 3-2.
Ruddock said after that he never lived it down maybe he took his frustrations out on his own face I don't know but Jamie must be the milkmans.

RED WILLY

* * *

as much as i despise harry - that didn't actually happen did it?

Its not for me to say whether it happened but he made the story pretty convincing if it didnt.
I was at the sportsmens lounge bar at Shrewsburys stadium for a charity dinner held by my company.
There was alot of stories ones about him and wright ones about him and the birds and ones about him and Redknapp I suppose the only people who really know are him Wrighty Redknapp and the squad at the time.

So to answer your question I don't know ask Harry?

Liverpool have a made an official move for Ajax striker Luis Suarez.


And the Uruguay World Cup star wants to swap Amsterdam for Anfield before the transfer window closes.

He won't come cheap. With another two and a half years to run on his contract, Ajax will want £23 million.

Suarez is also on Tottenham's wish-list, but Harry Redknapp would first have to shift Robbie Keane and possibly Roman Pavlyuchenko too.

Kenny Dalglish has made support for Fernando Torres his No.1 priority.

Liverpool have had Suarez watched on several occasions and are in pole position to go in with a firm cash offer.

"We needed a striker because of the imminent departure of Demba Ba and the injury to Chinedu Obasi. Babel was the attacker we really wanted and sporting director Tanner is convinced he's the right man for us, " said Hoffenheim owner Dietmar Hopp.

not been to the lane of late then ed? he has rediscovered his form pre injury, his final ball has got so much better he is now looking up , putting in good crosses and he is pulling the ball back for players arriving late instead of just trying to fizzz it in all the time and over hitting it

{Editor Note: Seen plenty of him, and still nothing to suggest that his final ball has improved. Every year people say it has improved and it hasn't. About 1 in 6 of his crosses are decent. All he has going for him is pace - without that he'd be nothing.}

You can all forget about lukaku. Saw an interview today with him on spanish tv. Firstly he says his two favorite teams are chelsea and madrid, then said it'd be a 'dream' to receive orders from mou. I don't think he will go anywhere before the summer anyway. I hear downing is coming before the day is out too .

Babel to hoffenheim. Shocking. Might spark the end of suarez's transfer, but will surely mean we will buy someone to replace babel.

Yup we are hence enquirying about Stewart Downing! I won't be happy if we losing babel for downing as both are not up to scratch but i have more faith in Babel then Downing!

oh great - we get rid of one bit of deadwood and look to replace it with another!
at least Babel showed the occasional glimpse of skill, Downing is hopeless

Just said on SSN that Ajax would only sell Suarez to a super club and they would have to pay an absurd amount of money? it also said in the last hour that Hoffienheim are intrested in Ryan Babel
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
They may have said that about Suarez but when the bank manager comes knocking at the gates of Ajax, and a club is (rumoured to be) offering 20million or so, it would be a no brainer for them I would think.

No Suarez I'm afraid there's never been significant enquires just brief. Either 1 player will come in late on in the window (only if Babel sold) otherwise nothing this window due to uncertainty over manager. (If Hodgson stayed we'd get at least 3 signings - but would may be in more of a relegation fight)

As the last 10 rumours state that Babel has joined Hoffenheim.

Its still only reported and nothing is confirmed.

Say above is true, Does this mean we would get Demba ba?

{Editor Note: Why would it mean we get Demba Ba?}

Because Babel is a replacement for the outgoing Demba Ba?

{Editor Note: Yea, but it doesn't mean we'd get Demba Ba.}

It also doesn't mean we wouldn't get him, Seeing as the club are after a striker, and with all this about Babel being used as a swap for Suarez, I'm just putting 2 n 2 together.

I talk out of my arse. FACT.

{Editor Note: He failed a medical at Stoke though, doubt we'd move for him.}

Have been speaking to a contact of mine on holland, he says the rumours about suarez coming to us are 85% true, but there are other clubs involved. here in germany there is alot of speculation about babels move to hoffenheim but nothing concrete as yet. Still some whispers going around about liverpool being after a number of germany based players. The main ones i've heard about are van bommel and maybe a move for podolski if suarez move fails.

I don't think people should be too gutted about price for Babel, as we are no longer a club that needs to sell in order to buy thanks to NESV.

Also if you are worried, its essentially 5.8 million for a player that gets very little game time (effectively 5.8 million for free).

Johnson to Spurs for £10m plus Alan Hutton about to be announced is the rumour going around the stock market. Good deal for us I reckon as

Hutton is a good right back- better defensively than Johnson and still offers attacking options

and those are the reasons why spurs will not be doing this deal what so ever

I SOOOOO hope that Suarez doesn't sign.It being in the papers/ media this much does gimme a great deal of hope that it's all bullcrap.
Look, the kid is a good player, but that's just that, a good player, nothing special.
He'd be 3rd to 4th choice in my team.Problem is you don't spend the fee being quoted on 3rd/ 4th choices.

For me, top priority forward-wise would be the Porto man, Hulk.Is quick, has power, skill, marksmanship, mobility, great positioning and all, this is our man.Morever, he's a total beaver with that positive temperament and aggressive demeanour we could defo do with in our squad/ game."God" himself tailor-made the Hulk for the Prem.
Get the him.

Failing that we should try for Llorente.But please, NOT this overrated Suarez (I'd rather take Adebayor on loan.And that's saying something).

So, ed, what ya make of this Suarez?Personally, as I've already said, I only rate as 3rd to 4th best.Do you think he'll come in?Or could the whole thing be just a smokescreen for something a LOT big. .like Hulk signing (we have had him watched, not so?).

{Editor Note: I have reservations about Suarez, but I'd be pleased if he signed. Every player who costs what he would cost is a risk. I also think paying good money for a player is a good sign of intent from the owners and club.}

My hunch is that Liverpool are pressurizing either Lukaku or Suarez to make a decision and are trading one off against the other.

On a separate point, I am convinced that MESV have funds. They know that Liverpool's profit is easily enough to compete and, while their hand may be forced sooner rather than later, they will work within a pretty decent budget.

{Editor Note: And if Ajax choose to blab any potential deal to the media then we could pull out and they'd get nothing for a player who is supposedly unhappy.

other than that its hard to get anything out of anfield at the moment but there is talking going on and we will sign players this window

Sooty


*Oh dear ed. .I see your point about people not knowing the difference between banter and abuse. FYI Sooty, Im not a Liverpool fan. Im a United fan who enjoys talking football. Having spoken to several equally fair minded Liverpool fans (Liverpool ed included) Its a shame to come across someone who clearly stubbed his little toe this morning (I feel your pain) and not quite recovered from it. Anyway, to cover your "point". . . Joe Cole has been of the pace for well over a year now, if not longer. Other than the flick of his heel that damaged our title chances at OT last year, the guy has done nothing of note since. He seems to have lost his sharpness and his touch aswell as, as was highlighted by yourself, being injury prone. He is past his best, something which is being emphasized by him being at a club which is struggling for form. Its no coincidence that his last 3 managers havent seemed to fancy him in Ancelotti, Hodgson and (so far) Dalglish. Which brings me back to my original point that neither him or Jovanovic, who just isn't Liverpool standard, would be used in a swap deal as few top clubs would be interested i doubt. If you want to have a conversation about football then feel free. . otherwise your time might best be served by just hitting me with a big stick.

Sell Johnson for 15m and let Kelly play at right back. Rumours are that Spurs want him and are willing to pay 15m for the transfer.
The 15 million got from this sale would come in handy for signing other players.

AMSTERDAM - Liverpool voerde gisteren koortsachtig overleg om de transfer van Luis Suarez van Ajax naar Engeland te concretiseren. Daarbij is er volop contact met de zaakwaarnemer van Suarez, Pere Guardiola, en de leiding van Ajax.


De Amerikaanse eigenaar George W. Henry heeft aan manager Kenny Dalglish te kennen gegeven dat er geld wordt vrijgemaakt voor aankopen. Maar de club moet ook zijn financiële huishouding op orde houden. Daarbij hoort geen aankoop van 25 miljoen euro. Bovendien wordt Suarez in de verste verte niet op die waarde geschat.

Short translation: Liverpool were yesterday in feverish transactions over finalising the transfer of Suarez to Liverpool - in followup contact with his agent, and the management of Ajax. John W has made the cash available to KK, but ceiling for this is 25 mill Euro, if it costs above this then it's not a viable transfer.

{Editor Note: Is what you've written reliable? Considering in the Duth it is "George W Henry" and in English "John W"? }
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Just put the dutch wording into Google and its the report in today's De Telgraaf that everyone is going on about. The reort does indeed say "George W. Henry", which just goes to show that it's not just the English sports journalists who are lazy. I for one will only believe Suarez is coming to Liverpool when he is paraded on the Anfield pitch with his new shirt. Before that, I'll treat it as I do other rumours I see in the press or on the internet - whith a massive big lump of salt.

Ed, why are you so sure that Suarez won't sign? I must admit i was very sceptical but now that everything is starting to snowball . . . plus nobody has come out and denied interest on either side {ed's note - because there is no evidence and no real concrete talk of it happening. All the rumours are complete pie in the sky, he even said himself that he is staying at Ajax because no one big has come in for him. This is merely his agent trying to get a move for a player that no one is willing to spend the money on because he is a bad risk.}

But ed, that's no reason to believe that he's not coming, there was no real talk of Meireles arriving he just suddenly arrived. Even with Poulsen and Joe Cole (Christ, we've got some poor players!) it was all just speculation, like there is now with Suarez.

{Editor Note: I'm a different ed, but I read quotes "from Suarez" that he was ready to move to a big club.}

After my eventful morning, seeing Pienaar, Ken & Lionel. I decided to get a flight to Amsterdam to talk to some Dutch press. My day got even better, I got talking to Spring in t Veld who writes for De Dagelijkse Jizz (The Daily Jizz) he confirmed to me that Luis Suarez, not 'Lionel' has a tattoo of Anfield's blue print on his back, also 'You'll Never Walk Alone' down his spine. Mr Veld said "Luis loves everything about Liverpool FC, the players this including past players. His best ever player is Kenny Dalglish and one of his main reason he has chosen Liverpool". Mr Veld went on to say he thinks Liverpool fans are amongst the best in the world. And he shared the joy of Istanbul, and celebrated every goal like it was Nacional scoring in the final of the Copa Libertadores.

I have had a great day speaking to various journo's but this one stood out to me. I hope this is very informant, and gives people a better idea in what is happening over in Holland.

And the Uruguay World Cup star wants to swap Amsterdam for Anfield before the transfer window closes.

He won't come cheap. With another two and a half years to run on his contract, Ajax will want £23 million.

Suarez is also on Tottenham's wish-list, but Harry Redknapp would first have to shift Robbie Keane and possibly Roman Pavlyuchenko too.

Kenny Dalglish has made support for Fernando Torres his No.1 priority.

Liverpool have had Suarez watched on several occasions and are in pole position to go in with a firm cash offer.

Suarez, 23, who has scored 81 goals in 108 matches for Ajax, was at the centre of one of the biggest storms of the World Cup.

He delibertately handled on the line in the final seconds of extra-time against Ghana, and Uruguay won the resulting shoot-out to make the semi-finals.

Suarez was last season's Dutch footballer of the year and is understood to be particularly keen to line up alongside Torres. He believes the partnership could work as well as his international link with Diego Forlan.

Ajax sources confirmed that talks with Liverpool began at the weekend.

With Suarez pushing for a move, Dalglish and the Kop may soon have something to smile about. . . .maybe this confirms a bid has been made? Taken from wwww.liverpoolfc.tv

Any 1 else completely done in about transfer windows?? Linked with every player under the sun yet the club come out and make no statement about anything. All the talk of Suarez makes me think that we won't sign him cause we never seem to sign any1 who is actually rumoured. Cant wait for the 2nd of Feb so we can finish the season with what ever squad we have. Fed up with papers! !

{Editor Note: The club making statements about targets would be totally unprofessional.}

The transfer of Suarez to Liverpool opens the door for me to go to Ajax, " he told De Telegraaf.
"If Liverpool and Ajax - whether in combination with Luis - can reach an agreement over me I will surely come to the club. For the chance to play I am willing to settle for far less pay.
"I know the club, know the style and played with a couple of players in Amsterdam and with the Dutch national team."
He added: "For a player of my age it is important to be playing week in, week out."

i hope this swap deal goes through. it will be best for liverpool and babel. i want to see ryan do well for himself because hes a decent bloke. met him 3 or 4 times whenever hes been on my flight going home. its a shame it never worked out for him at liverpool.

I would prefer to swap cole or jovanovic for the suarez deal instead of babel

*Im sure Liverpool would rather swap 1 of the 2 aswell. Im sure they'd quite like to swap Paul Konchesky for Suarez but Ajax see the same as Liverpool fans, that Cole and Jovanovic are complete tripe. Hence they want Babel who has performed for them in the past.

Why r u calling Joe Cole tripe, he's had a lot of injuries and hasn't settled in yet. Ur a typical knobh* d who want people to perform 24/ 7, it doesn't work like that, bet if we lose another game you'll be calling for Kenny's head.


OK i am going to say something about this now, as i would like to know how you think Joe Cole has been anything other then rubbish this year? he has had just as much time as Roy H in Liverpool and wow who has got the boot? If he was a top class player from another league and you said he hasnt settled in yet fair enough but he came from winning the league, so you can't use the settling in rubbish, I was against us buying Joe in the first place he is way to injury prone and if he was so great why is he a bit part player most his career?

Well considering that Kevin Doyle today stated that "Wolves need another 6 wins to secure safety." I really doubt that he is joining Liverpool. Besides, he may be a good player, but he's not the sort of player Lfc need or want.

Hay Sharkey, Just a quick one in relation to your question bout Saurez. I reckon that most big teams would look at the dutch league as a league without much quality although he is getting all.the headlines it could be considered no.mean.feat to have a score record like his and the price being quoted from the club is colossal. I reckon that the way things are at the moment maybe too big a gamble. Then throw on top of that the disgrace he made of himself in the world cup and the biting incident maybe too much.bad publicity for one of the bigger clubs. I reckon we have nothing to loose on taking a gamble. I know we will he Jim for less then then the 25mil being quoted, would take a cash plus how.many of our players will you take deal. What are your thoughts on warnock returning and any of the other villa players being touted. Personally I'd take albrighton.

Thanks,

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
How do you know not many teams are interested in Suarez Sharkey?

Blair Mayne YNWA"

Well his agents have been hawking him around Europe since last spring but the only teams to show much interest in the player have been what you may term the second tier sides (Malaga, Levante and Napoli in the summer) whereas his agent proferred rumours of a move to either Barcelona or Manchester United. Now we are in a situation where a couple of English sides have a passing interest (Liverpool and Tottenham) with Chelsea slightly interested in any offers for the player. And his agent (even this morning) is pushing the Liverpool option as they seem most likely to make a move for the player.

Sharkey."

This is to Sharkey RE above.
Just because "Big" clubs have looked at Suarez and decided he's not good enough for them really shouldn't matter. I believe something similar happened with Snr. Torres before we bought him. Real Madrid, Barcelona, both Milan clubs, Man Utd, Arsenal etc (I think you get the drift) had all scouted Torres and decided against signing him. My personal view on it is if we do sign Suarez he has got a lot of motivation to prove people wrong, rather than always looking at the negative side of things

If you remember this site during the last few transfer windows was littered with Juan Mata, David Silva and Kun Augero rumours, which led to a lot of fans believing these players would join the club, despite the rumours being based on only hearsay and only a couple of reports (made up sh1te) from the usual suspects (givemefootball, tribal football etc).

I don't want to get too excited but the amount of continued reports and talk of Suarez suggests there is more than just a few rumours in it this time. The saying “there is no smoke without fire springs to mind”. The reports are coming from everywhere which has created a lot of “smoke” but what is yet to happen is a report from a source close to Kenny confirming the rumours of advanced negotiations are true.

Are Liverpool trying to deal with this transfer like the old days or is the “smoke” being denied by Liverpool because it can be used as a screen against the media finding out the clubs true top target.

Only time will tell I guess but it's a shame no bookies are taking bets on Suarez to LFC as I'd put a tenner on it.

If I had to take a guess on what deals will go through before the end of January, at this stage I'd say:

Suarez - 15million + Babel on loan for 6 months
Warnock - 6 month loan + option to buy
+ a surprise of Honda, Young, N'Zogbia or Gervinho

Would like that surprise to be Turan for cash + Insua, or Hazard or even Charlie Adam though.

Either way, our left side with be a lot stronger after this window I feel. Kenny knows what he's doing, he can see our weakness'.

Hi Guys

its Faizal from South Africa.

Just want to give my view regarding transfers.

Let's take a look at recent history, under NESV.
It is now common knowledge to all us LFC fans, including the editors, that the club is run in a more professional pattern.

It is more difficult to find out what is happening at the club, even to those people who in the past may have had a source.

For this reason, I am lead to believe that most of the rumors originating about players are dreamed up by fans, and somehow it filters into the media, who as we all know, will write anything to sell papers.

I would not be surprised at all if, of all the names being thrown around, none of those come in.

I am by no means saying we won't sign any players, but maybe not the ones we all are expecting to sign. .

Thanks guys

Faizal

Have you seen are left backs? ?
I would love suarez although he is a diving/ cheating so and so. . .good player though and kenny won't stand for the dark arts so it would be good to get him. .
Warnock would be an improvement on what we have and would do until the summer. . . I would take nzogbia over downing if it was up to me but why can't we get both? and I would also like to see van bommel as well. . we lack an experienced head in the middle of the park. . .
I reckon someone will come in before the weekend because I am getting this weird sensation all over my body. . and when that happens. . .OH NO IT WAS JUST WIND! !

Course it's not happening Ed. .

AMSTERDAM - Liverpool voerde gisteren koortsachtig overleg om de transfer van Luis Suarez van Ajax naar Engeland te concretiseren. Daarbij is er volop contact met de zaakwaarnemer van Suarez, Pere Guardiola, en de leiding van Ajax.


De Amerikaanse eigenaar George W. Henry heeft aan manager Kenny Dalglish te kennen gegeven dat er geld wordt vrijgemaakt voor aankopen. Maar de club moet ook zijn financiële huishouding op orde houden. Daarbij hoort geen aankoop van 25 miljoen euro. Bovendien wordt Suarez in de verste verte niet op die waarde geschat.

Short translation: Liverpool were yesterday in feverish transactions over finalising the transfer of Suarez to Liverpool - in followup contact with his agent, and the management of Ajax. John W has made the cash available to KK, but ceiling for this is 25 mill Euro, if it costs above this then it's not a viable transfer.

{Editor Note: Is what you've written reliable? Considering in the Duth it is "George W Henry" and in English "John W" ??}

Glen Johnson will not be leaving anytime soon. We are only looking at one winger to cover the left hand side, hence approaches for Young and Young and interest in N'Zogbia. The reasoning behind this is that Dalglish wants to play Martin Kelly as right back to nurture his talent for the future and play Johnson as a right winger. Johnson is brilliant at running with the ball, has pace down the right hand side and has good delivery into the box. Dalglish is hoping to convert him into a winger and have the same success with him as Tottenham have had with Gareth Bale.

- - - - - - -

And you know this how? I'm not saying it's a bad idea. In fact, agree with that assessment of Johnson's potential as a right winger - but I'm questioning how you know that's what Dalglish wants. Because there's been nothing to stop him so far if that was his plan. On Sunday a fit Aurelio sat on the bench while Johnson played at left back with Kelly at right back, same as at Blackpool. So Dalglish has been free to play Johnson in the right side attacking role if he wants to. It would just mean leaving Kuyt (or Maxi) on the bench.

Liverpool are lining up a move for £5million-rated West Brom winger Jerome Thomas.

As a Liverpool fan I am disgusted that you have posted this rumour especially that it was printed by The Sun. Its all trash mate.

Suarez coming to Liverpool and Babel returning to Ajax as part of the deal.

Hope we sign N'Zogbia/ Young also.

Johnson to Spurs for £10m plus Alan Hutton about to be announced is the rumour going around the stock market. Good deal for us I reckon as Hutton is a good right back- better defensively than Johnson and still offers attacking options.

I think for this transfer window we need to sign a CB, Winger, Striker and CM.

CB- 10m Sakho, Mertesacker

Winger- 8-9m N Zogbia

Luis Suarez- 14m + Babel

CM 4-5m Charlie Adam

That is a total of 36 million, and I remember NESV promised a 40million transfer warchest when they bought the club,

Looking at what has been happening over the past few days, with this speculation of offers for Suarez and Van Bommel. It looks like Liverpool are trying to introduce a bit more character and grit into a squad that lacks both.

There are players within this squad who lack the motivational creativity that players like Gerrard, Torres, Cole and Lucas have. You may be surprised by me mentioning Lucas and Cole but its the lack of consistancy that faults their game. We know Cole is a great player however he doesn't suit some of the football we play. Lucas against West Ham alone shows that he can play that midfield role but needs players higher up the pitch to deliver.

Introducing Suarez will allow a quick partnership up front and release the pressure on Torres to score in every match he plays. Suarez will be up for a fight and pardon my language but we need a wee dickhead in our team who's gonna be a pain in the arse for the opposition.

Van Bommel isn't an obvious choice for centre midfield but with a player who has been providing the backbone to the Holland squad's midfield, i'd happily have him in there playing alongside Lucas.

Imagine a team like this:

Reina

Kelly Agger Carragher/ Skrtel Johnson


Gerrard Van Bommel Lucas Cole/ Kuyt


Torres Suarez

That team not only would play a final third possession game most of the match but the experience in there will stop these scrappy goals we give away every match

Have a bad feeling the Babel "open to Ajax" quotes are all BS. He doesn't talk like that usually, when he's quoted he puts things differently "I will surely come to the club" doesn't sound like him at all. Expect the club or him to come out saying the De Telegraaf is all lies and he's committed to LFC.
Still hope Suarez comes though, there's more substance to this rumour than others have.

Now we are in a situation where a couple of English sides have a passing interest (Liverpool and Tottenham) with Chelsea slightly interested in any offers for the player. And his agent (even this morning) is pushing the Liverpool option as they seem most likely to make a move for the player.

"I wonder why no one else seems to be chasing this guy?"

==================================

So you say three teams are interested in Suarez but you then say "I wonder why no one else seems to be chasing this guy?" How many teams need to be interested to satisfy you? four? five?

How many teams where trying to buy VDV, A Johnson, Dzeko, Silva, Hernández etc, do you judge the quality of a player based on the amount of team that want to buy them? I'm not saying Suarez will be great or not but by your own statement of three teams interested your point makes no sense!

With the recent successful overseas pre-season tours of Man U and Everton in the Asia / Pacific reason surely NESV must consider doing the same to woo more supporters, fans and sponsors and generate some more $$$$$.

I could see a 3 week tour with 6 games -

Vs La Galaxy in LA
Vs New England Revolution (managed by Liverpool great Steve Nicol and could be played at NESV owned Fenway Park)

Vs Beijing Guoan
Vs Shandong Luneng

Vs Sydney FC (est crowd over 60,000)
Vs Melbourne Heart or Melbourne Victory (which at the MCG could get a crowd over 80,000)

And get off Joe Cole's back. He signed a 4 year deal and is only in his first season. Give him a chance please. I'm still waiting for the best of Babel and he's been here what. . 4 years now?

anyway. . . if we have made a bid for downing then lets back him, he is a decent left winger.

we as a group of supporters (and i mean supporters) wanted tom and jerry out and wanted hodgson out and we got our wish then we wanted the king and the king returned.

lets wait till we hear definite news and wait til we see any player holding up that famous red shirt with there name on it before we doubt anyone

They won't mate they have Llorente lined up in the summer. Which would mean they have these strikers Higuain, Ronaldo (who's played up top this season), Llorente, RVN (maybe), Canales (19) and Benzema (probably be sold).

All these Saurez rumours sound good, but untill he has signed get prepared for a massive let down.

There is a new twist in the Luis Suarez transfer to Liverpool today. Ryan Babel has revealed he is keen to return to Ajax on loan as part of a potential deal for forward Luis Suarez. It is no secret that Liverpool are keen to sign Suarez to add some more attacking options to the team. I have been wondering why the Suarez signing has been taking a long time and one of the reasons could be that Ajax are asking for a transfer fee that Liverpool can not afford or are not willing to pay, so in comes Babel to be part of the deal.

“The transfer of Suarez to Liverpool opens the door for me to go to Ajax, ” Babel told De Telegraaf. “If Liverpool and Ajax - whether in combination with Luis - can reach an agreement over me I will surely come to the club.

“For the chance to play I am willing to settle for far less pay. For a player of my age it is important to be playing week in week out.”

I say, the sooner we get this deal done the better. Let us send Babel to Ajax and we get Suarez. No brainer!

Regarding Suarez at 18 Jan 2011 12:27:28:

"It dosn't really matter who is or who isn't after him Sharkey. I believe if we sign him it will be a great signing. As you know i've been crying out for us to buy Saurez for months (even before Macca said we were interested) and maybe just maybe we can get him. You can't deny he's a class act Sharkey, if Chelsea were to get him would you be happy?

Blair Mayne YNWA {ed's note - so it doesn't worry you that Real Madrid, who are desperate for a striker, see RVN, at 85 with dodgy knees, as a better bet than Suarez?}"

Blair I completely agree that it does not matter who is or is not after a particular player, and I recall you being keen on the player for some time. I was really more interested as to whether the thought "I wonder why no one else seems to be chasing this guy?" had crossed your mind.

As for him going to Chelsea, I doubt I would object too much as long as the cost was not too high. If it involved getting rid of Kalou, then I would fly Suarez over myself. Chelsea had previously asked Ajax to be kept informed of any potential offers for the player, but this is not uncommon and many clubs make similar requests.

I do not know much about Suarez, but what does worry me is the people on here saying that he;s not good enough for the prem. On the other hand there are a fair few on here saying hes awsome. If he signs I hope out turns out to be the latter of course. I never really worry about who Real madrid want to sign or don't want to sign because the way they havent got a clue. There whole policy is throw money at the problem. I know investment in teams is needed but they take it beyond a joke. They'l sign absolutley anyone and sell great players based on popularity Schnider and Van der Vart are fantastic players and just because Kaka and Ronaldo came in they were pretty much cast aside despite there talent. If a player doesn't work ar real they don't care they just sell him make a huge loss and then splash a ludicras amount of money on any player that has had a half decent competion or season. They apparantley looked at Milan Barros when he was at Liverpool because he scored 5 goals in the Euros. That was one transfer I was praying they would make, unfortunatley they came to there senses. the piont im trying to make is I Hate Real madrid. I know my argument has gone out of the window at this point but I had to say it.

Ps Id take Suarez over Ngog even without seeing him play and I reckon if we started a rumour on here that Ed had scored 85 goals this season, Real madrid would try and sign him!

Not at all Ed. The reason Real Madrid want RVN is because Higuain is out for four months and looking for somthing in the short term. Because as you know they have Llorente lined up in the summer for big money, so i doubt they will or even have the money for Suarez in this window. Llorente has been Mourinho's no.1 target for a few months now, like i said RVN is a quick fix until Higuain is fit again. And if you believe the rumours then Adebyour could be an option for them too.

SSN = Babel happy to move to Ajax as part of Suarez deal.

He may not have hit the ground running as a player, but Ryan is an absolute character and a top lad. If he were to leave (which is likely at some point) I hope he does really well and wouldn't be surprised if he was haunting us in a few years.
After what happened to him on August deadline day being flown to London as bait for the failed (thank god) C.Cole deal, he showed real commitment to take it on the chin and keep at it. Great goal against Villa this year, would miss him but LFC would be getting an absolute phenomenal player in return.
I watch the Erdivisie a lot and he's top draw has hunger and quality, whilst a bit crazy he can do it at all levels and is the closest player to a Robbie Fowler in the game today.

Farewell Babel, LFC make me dream.

Looking at our squad last night thinking what the owners must be thinking. We have a number of players who rarely play, are carp or on loan and what we could get in transfer fees;

The Greek £1million
Jovanovic £1.5m
Poulson £1.5m
Konchesky £2m
Babel £8m
Ngog £5m
Stephen Darby £1m
Brad Jones £1m
Insua Free
El Zhar Free
Degen Free
Aqualini £15m

This is a total of £36m and does not include wages. I am sure if we carried out a review of the reserves we will have other young players that will not make the first team. With this money and possible further funding from NESV we would have a healthy transfer budget coupled with the rising stars at Anfield the future would look rosy

All this chat about Saurez coming in is interesting, but for me if we have 2 world class strikers on the pitch, who the hell is going to supply the craetivity on the wings that we so despearately need to create chances, if we had the wings sorted it takes pressure off the back four and creates more chances for Torres, Turan and Sanchez for me I know they are both Right wingers but playing Sanchez on the left with his right peg would be a delight, also great to see Suso promoted this lad is Special.Shane

Sorry ed's but Liverpool Rumours
Ajax insist they have yet to receive an official bid from Liverpool for Luis Suarez - and have warned Kenny Dalglish they will settle for £25m.

Reports have suggested Liverpool are closing in on the Uruguayan, who scored an astonishing 49 goals in 48 appearances last season.

Suarez has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Barcelona and Tottenham and now Liverpool are also said to be keen.

Director of Football Strategy Damien Comolli has earmarked Suarez as the man to form a lethal partnership with Fernando Torres but Ajax are adamant they have yet to receive a bid.

A source at Ajax said: "He has a contract here until 2013 and he doesn't want to move.

"He wants to be a champion for Ajax which is what we hope to achieve. In the summer? We'll deal with it then.

"Have we had any bids? Not yet. It will have to be an attractive bid too."

{Editor's Note: Your post was a cut and paste from a different web site. All it does in my view is confirm that no bid has been made for Suarez - as I have explained ad nauseum. The other Ed was commenting on the latest suggestion that Ryan Babel may form part of a deal to move the Suarez transfer along. He was not specifically commenting on your post so apologies for any misunderstandings.}

"Joe Cole in very much in Kenny's plans despite reports of interest from other clubs. The reason he hasn't played under Dalglish yet is due to his recent injury and Liverpool are taking precautions to avoid any further injury. He has already aggrevated his injury once. Also, with Steve Clarke now part of the coaching set-up, we have someone who has worked with Cole for years and knows his ability and what it takes to get the best out of him.

Depending on if we sign another striker, David Ngog could go on loan to Sunderland. They have made an enquiry to take him on loan until the end of the season to ease their shortage of strikers based on the imminent departure of Darren Bent. A loan where he is playing each game for lengthy periods of time and playing week in, week out will no doubt help develop him as a player.

Ryan Babel has been talking to a Dutch newspaper where he mentions about Luis Suarez signing for Liverpool and he would go to Ajax on loan for far less pay. Interesting stuff, obviously the Suarez talk is gathering much more pace and seems as if its true. Lets hope it turns reality now!

Blakey."

- - -

I highly doupt what you are saying is true. We are loking at Suarez because we are short of strikers. If we don't get Suarez then we will most likely bid for another striker. The point being we need a striker. If we sell/ loan out two of our strikers it only leaves Suarez and Torres (and Pacheco).

So my point is: Why are you saying that we will be selling/ loaning strikers when we need strikers!

Babel won't leave. Fact
N'gog won't leave. Fact

Hi Ed / anyone

Do you know what is happening with David Amoo? I was convinced he was going to make a push for the 1st team this year, but he was on the bench for the reserves recently, is he oinjured/ out of form/ favor? {ed's note - out of form, he lost his form after he got returned to the reserves following a good performance in Europe at the beginning of the season. I think it gave his confidence a bit of a battering, Roy never even considered him for the first team following it. That must affect your self-belief and it could take him time to get back to form.}

Reds boss Roy Hodgson is happy to loan out Eccleston in January in order to further his education as he is regarded as one for the future at Anfield.
The Reds are reported to have made contact with Ajax on Saturday over a deal for Uruguay international Suarez. Negotiations are said to be ongoing and Babel, who left Ajax in 2007, has revealed he would welcome the opportunity for more first-team football.

"The transfer of Suarez to Liverpool opens the door for me to go to Ajax, " he told De Telegraaf. "If Liverpool and Ajax - whether in combination with Luis - can reach an agreement over me I will surely come to the club.

"For the chance to play I am willing to settle for far less pay. For a player of my age it is important to be playing week in week out."

. . There has got to be some truth in these Suarez rumours, this is a report from unsure how reliable it is, unfortunate for babel, for all his critics I still believe he was never really given enough of a chance IMO.
GLM.

{Editor's Note: Liverpool did not make an approach on Saturday nor spend Sunday negotiating.}

Just seen Steven Pienaar drive past Melwood. I think he was heading upto Walton/ Anfield direction. Could he be on his way into Anfield. Am sure I seen Ken and Lionel in the car also. They had a lot of luggage in the back seat of the Nissan Micra.

Am not to bothered about Steven but if we can get Ken & Lionel to play in a 3 alongside Torres I think it will be a shrewd piece of business by Mr Henry.

Think the transfers are a coup myself with Ken signing for 10 Embassy number 1, and two cans of eldon brown supper, with a tin opener to eat it. Lionel's was a bit more controversial as his agent wanted a bit more than we put on the table. However we offered a curly wurly to sweeten the deal and he was happy to take our offer.

Warnock, Downing, Young & Suarez - finally we get linked with some decent players!

Width, pace, creativity, goal threat from all of them.

Its a far cry from recent links to players.

I just wonder which players may be sold to assist in funding some of the above?

How great would it be to support Kelly each game in the hope he becomes a legend and at least have someone in front of him that can do the attacking! I would happily sell Johnson & see Downing and Young providing our width and creativity!

Ed - No one seems to have mentioned Glen Johnson being linked to a move abroad recently? Is there any chance of us raising £12M or so from selling him?

CAUTION IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING WE ARE FRIGHTENED . . . .

I'm just very cautious this morning when I read about Luis Suarez. There was some offhand remark about "de Telgraaf" and they way they repeat what rumours and gossip are around: well they are very reputable media source for Ajax and I would not dismiss what they say out of hand.

Strikes me that Suarez is the one we will get - but what is happening on the other fronts? I wrote a few days ago that what is happening behind the scenes is fine with me. I don't need to know who we are chasing and have made offers for, but although the usual guff about 'it's the Liverpool way' and that sentimental old tosh is brought up, this is 2011 and the game has moved on . . off the field.

After the hype of new owners, KK's return, the appointment of Comoli, came the excitement of targets: Turan, Honda, Lukaka, Negredo, Suarez, Podolski, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Charlie Adams! Truth is, with less than two weeks before the end of the transfer window, we have not yet signed one player.

I appreciate 'there is still time, ' but we seem to be heading (for what we know) for one player (Suarez) and yet the others seem no further in our sights. If this is incorrect and behind the scenes things are full steam ahead, then I will gladly apologise and pay Ryan Babel's fine or Theo Walcott's bribe to the FA for not charging him with cheating - whichever is the smaller! But if we ONLY get Suarez, then surely we have missed the chance to make a real statement about where we are heading?

Players are apparently reluctant to commit to us as the managerial situation is not settled. There is also some fear of us being relegated - oh sorry! I forget the immortal expression - "we are too good to go down!" Surely this is the time to grab Honda, Turan and one more player to show we mean business?

I have no idea about the money we have; I do not know a mate who works for the club and breaks confidences to tell me highly confidential information; I do not stand outside the Melwood gates and see the comings and goings. But I do know that if we do only sign Suarez, then we have done a lot of shouting and little action. I hope I am totally incorrect.

The contra-argument is that we shouldn't splash the cash now in haste, we have time and we should use that to find the right targets. Wrong for me: we are mired at the end of the PL and our reputation suffers as does our chance of attracting top players. In simpler terms, it could be that that we are shouting our big mouths off and are likely not to make any really impressive signings. Again, if we are doing it quietly, then all the better, but I feel uncertain that is the case.

We may wake on Thursday to the unveiling of Keisuke Honda, Luis Suarez and Ashley Young. Scarves held aloft and sitting in the stands, Comoli and KK behind them (although Honda is still at the Asia Cup, but you get the idea!) and cameras clicking. Sadly I think it won't happen. I am confident about Suarez. The rest? We will find we are one player in and waiting till the summer for more signings. Not sure this is what we thought would happen and in my view, it won't be the ideal way forward. I just hope this time I have real egg on my face!

Kenny Dalglish wants to sign 5 players this window.

Luis Suarez - £12m + Ryan Babel
Ashley Young - £18m
Mark van Bommel - £3m
Charles N'Zogbia - £10m
Stephen Warnock - Loan (end of season, view to a permanent deal)

Kenny did want Stuart Downing but Aston Villa wanted to recoup all of the £12m they paid for him with Liverpool reluctant to go about £10m, hence the decision to turn to N'Zogbia.

The hold-up now in the Darren Bent to Villa transfer is due to the fact Villa are awaiting Liverpool to turn their initial enquiry for Ashley Young into an official offer where they will then use the cash to sign Bent.

These would all be really good additions in my eyes, although the attitudes of Suarez and N'Zogbia is a concern.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I totally agree that all these signings would instantly turn Liverpool into an attacking threat once again but. . i honestly can't see the club spending £43 mil in a January transfer window. I really hope im wrong mind.

I think NESV should not have taken over this club they are tight with money why are we being linked with a rubbish winger like downing we should be buying players in the 15 - 20 million pound bracket not downing who is average at best. We should have sold to a buyer who was capable of bidding for big names like turan or honda not downing

We should have sold to someone who knows about football NESV do not have the fianances to win anything commoli is a waste of a wage he got two or three signings right at spurs in 5 years the rest were expensive flops who have left

We need huge invesment not another american who has a padlock on his wallet
-------------------
Tight with money? They are biggest pay biggest wagers in baseball, and when they want there man am led to believe they get him. We need to sit patient they are getting there baring of the club/ game/ and contacts, they did say it would be summer before the got to propper business, but they aware that there is needs now. All it is they won't spend there money on Robbie keane's, aqaulani's, why spend mill's on a player that ain't right for club, they will only spend on players that they going to get 110% moneies worth, and 110% commitment from them, it's not just the boards money, there is another 12 men that they have to answer to and run the club for so they want to do everything the right way as it's there way of business, you don't get to be voted no 2 best run sports business men in USA by sitting back doing nothing. We will reel the benefits in in time. .

a huge investment like chelsea and man city. yes we are in need of quality additions but I would hate to see our club run like that. NESV will get us back there just like they said they would. We will start picking up quality players for the right price soon enough, give them a bit of time. The fans wanted Kenny back, but do NESV want him. there not going to waste money on kennys players if the next manager thinks there carp. People need to get off there back, the glory years WILL return

The same thing happened in the summer when everyone thought there would be a big suprise on deadline day. All these big names were banded around and it came to nothing. The best we'll do is get Warnock on loan. I would love to be proved wrong but don't think i will be. Watch this space.

Unless you have been in a coma since the summer you would have realised things are very different with the owner situation now. I am not saying we are Man City like, but there was very good reasons nothing much happened in the summer .Why are people so negative. Give NESV a chance ( and that includes up to and including next summer ).

I think the majority are lies from the pansy media in London who just cannot stand the fact tha Liverpool Football Club are the most succesful in English football and are loved and respected throughout the world. Their favourite clubs are all London fan based ie Spurs, Arsenal, ManUre, Chelsea

Hi - what's the story with Aquilani? It seems like he's having a good season with Juventus and that he's likely to stay. Are we able to make this a permanent deal this January - thereby raising some funds for further improvements?

No-one would love to see Suarez at Anfield more than me (despite his cheating past lol) as we are desperate for a top goalscorer, but please stop with the lies that he was seen here, there and everywhere in Liverpool unless you back it up with a photo & signed autograph.

What is important is that we don't look towards one big buy i.e Suarez, Young, Kaka, Benzema, SWP or whoever as the clubs saviour, we need a combination of 3 or 4 players that can compliment each other and the team/ squad.I just hope that the Rip Van Wolfswinkel rumours were just that and no more, he just isn't good enough.

Hope it is true about Suarez but we will never know until or if he signs. .I would like Charlie Adam as well . he is better than Lucas. .would like to see another centre half like Shawcross and Warnock at left back. If think Glen Johnson could do a job at right midfield at no extra cost. Players that do not fit in Babel , Cole Lucas Skrtel & N'Gog should go , we would probably get half decent money for them players.

I think NESV should not have taken over this club they are tight with money why are we being linked with a rubbish winger like downing we should be buying players in the 15 - 20 million pound bracket not downing who is average at best. We should have sold to a buyer who was capable of bidding for big names like turan or honda not downing

We should have sold to someone who knows about football NESV do not have the fianances to win anything commoli is a waste of a wage he got two or three signings right at spurs in 5 years the rest were expensive flops who have left

We need huge invesment not another american who has a padlock on his wallet

Tight with money?? They are biggest pay biggest wagers in baseball, and when they want there man am led to believe they get him. We need to sit patient they are getting there baring of the club/ game/ and contacts, they did say it would be summer before the got to propper business, but they aware that there is needs now. All it is they won't spend there money on Robbie keen's aqaulani's, why spanned mill's on a player that ain't right for club, they will only spend on players that they going to get 110% moneies worth, and 110% cOmmitment from them, it's not just the boards money, there is another 12 men that they have to answer to and run the club for so they want to do everything the right way as it's there way of business, you don't get to be voted no 2 best run sports business men in USA by sitting back doing nothing. We will reel the benefits in in time. .

RED WILLY {ed's note - I can't see him having the intelligence to think of that. I think he just literally wants to buy everyone, that means more brown envelopes}

My thoughts are he is waiting for a brown envelope big enough not only to set him up for life but to also hide his face in , he literally offends my tv every time he is on it.
I thought the brown envelope his family got from Nintendo would have done the trick but then again he does have a whopper of a head.He looks like a madamme tussauds waxwork model that's been put to close to the fire.
I went to a works dinner were Ruddock was doing his stand up routine (The guy nicked my last fag and is an absolute tw*t) but is funny as.
He told this bit were Redknapp was managing West ham and a season ticket holder sat behind used to rip Harry at every home game.
Whilst digging into harry whilst west ham were 2-0 down he made the comment that he was better at front than the sh*te Harry had got.
At half time Harry took this guy into the dressing room stuck him in a shirt and sent him out to play.
The lad only goes and scores setting up the second and they won 3-2.
Ruddock said after that he never lived it down maybe he took his frustrations out on his own face I don't know but Jamie must be the milkmans.

Well as i said earlier on tonight, Luis Suarez is now 90% a Liverpool player. I know a decent lad who works at a certain area in Liverpool and usually he's right about these things (he's not Kenny's uncle's sisters house cleaner), he is a lad who works in a certain position which is in close relations to the club. Now before people start trying to slate me for this, i gave the info that Suarez deal in principal has been done but the obvious latter stages of the deal must be completed ie. personal terms, medical etc so remember you heard it off me first. I was told earlier if all things go well that the deal will be completed by Wednesday, now ive been informed that if the deal is not completed on Wednesday it will be 100% complete by Thursday evening. The man in the know.

I so sorry reli Dave, but am pretty sure we heard this story that we getting suarez yesterday/ the day before/ the day before that/ the day before that/ lastweek/ the week before the/ and and and and the week before that too, so I think we a bit late to say we heard it from you first, but if itmakes you you feel like your in the know, and a fly on boards rooms wall.

go easy on them mate, they have only had 18 days in the Transfer Window and things always happen in the last week. NESV seem alot more professional in things and don't go blabbing to the press saying we are doing this that and the other.
they may be about to spend £18-20m on Suarez? who knows, just give them until end of month at least.

Excuse me, i happen to be an ex-pat married to a Canadian living in Canada. Firstly i have yet to see a moose, and the french freaks happen to live in their own province. Re your history it was the British army that invaded America from Canada, the loyalty of the French-Canadians was questionable at the time.

Now back to LFC, if the posts of fellow reds supporters upset you so much i suggest you find alternative sites. I have yet to read one of your posts that make any sense and don't abuse fellow fans.

Right gonna get back in my igloo and see if i can find my lumberjack shirt.

Can't see them splashing that much cash on him (he is good but not that good and 27yrs old) then letting their wingers go. Might make the return of Warnock easier though!

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is reported to have identified Aston Villa duo Ashley Young and Stewart Downing as potential transfer targets.
Full story: Metro

Or, Luis Suarez could become Dalglish's first signing since his return to the club with Liverpool set to step up their bid for the Ajax striker.
Full story: Daily Mail

and that's from BBC the bastion of news for the free world.

So maybe Liverpool fans let us just wait and see what Liverpool FC decide to do? I know it's a new and untried system for the majority of teenagers on this site, but, forget fantasy football for 2 weeks and then at the end of the transfer window sit back and see who is wearing the shirt and more importantly SUPPORT them. As far as i know the club we support is still Liverpool F.C. not Luis Suarez or Augero or any other wanton wet dream of kids playing Fantasy manager, no player has been bigger than Liverpool including the God that is Kenny. Rant over eds. Whoever we get needs to be backed by US the fans not castigated.
I was lucky enough to celebrate the good days, Istanbul 2005 will never compare to that first joy in '77, we all want the club to win MORE, so relax, Football just like Life is Cyclical, as the earth revolves around the sun, so will Liverpool once again be the centre of Fotball and the more we support the club the more it will be.

{ed's note - Ayala is back from his loan so hopefully you will get to see a bit more of him for us when he is fit. He came back with an injury. Realistically I would want Honda, a striker, not sure who is realistic on that front any more and a left back, Aly Cissokho if possible. But any of those positions, wingers and defensive midfield are the priorities for me. I think Coady will be the defensive midfielder for the future so I would blood him. If we bought Honda he could play off Torres as a second striker, so that would be covered. Give Mavinga and Robinson chances at left back and we could just buy Honda and wingers thinking about it. So just typing it has made me rethink! Honda and two wingers, probably Turan as one, no idea who for the other wing though.}


Do you know who I would like to see at Liverpool as a winger and I bet no one could guess.
I will give you some clues we were linked to him before his move to England.
He is argentinian.
He is famous for his crazy goal celebration even though I am yet to see it for myself.

Thats right its Jonas Guttierez.

The guy is class and has Prem experience My mate is a toon fan so sit with him and watch the matches sometimes and was gutted when we didn't get him.not wholely for the fact he is a great midfielder but also wanted to see him pull out his spiderman mask in front of the kop.
I think if we are looking for diamonds we don't need to look abroad there are plenty around.

Now I know I will get the usual he isn't good enough for liverpool by the haters brigade but seriously anyone who has actually seen him play think.

The players would just go where the space was when we had the ball, it is simple and it works. Full backs still get forward and support the attack, but they are just not the focal point like at Chelsea.}I don't know. Maybe your right maybe your wrong. I just think with the quality and intensity the game is played at nowaday that the full-backs are a major factor in a formation like that. As is said though its just my opinion.

Cheers for your comments ED. I kind of actually agree with you on the Skrtel front. The only problem is I can't see we have any better at the moment. Carragher is a legend but is too slow now and Kyriakos (sorry about the spelling) is not good enough. I would like to see more of Danny Wilson, have heard good things about him. On the c midfield front I still don't believe we have anyone in the centre who is really a ball winner or battler (apart from Poulsen supposedly but I don't think he's good enough). Although Lucas is vastly improved I still don't believe he is a good enough ball winner, gives away far too many needless free kicks. And With Babel I agree about his attitude that it is far too laid back but I think that's partly Rafa's fault for never giving him a prolonged run in the side. But I do still think he has the potential to be a cracking player.

Sabian378 {ed's note - that is why I chose a 3 in the middle, that lack of real quality in there, but it is the most important part of the pitch to me so I would look to over run the opposition as we can't out play them. Have you not seen any of Ayala's games on loan at Hull this season? He really is a top class ball playing centre back, very reminiscent of Agger, only right footed.}

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

ED im afraid I havent seen anything of Ayala at Hull this season. Saw him when he got a few caps for the first team last season and he did seem to slot into the first team with ease which is promising. Just don't think I have seen enough of him to judge yet, I will endeavor to check his games out more whilst he is at Hull. I know what you mean about over running the centre of the park - Which is what we used to do so well when we had Alonso, Masch and Gerrard. Ed - another question - Looking at it realisitically (taking into account budgets and who is available or willing to be sold) Who would you like to see brought in this transfer window? Where would you splash the cash?
(P.S Loving this LFC chat ED, its getting me through a night shift. good stuff)

Sabian378 {ed's note - Ayala is back from his loan so hopefully you will get to see a bit more of him for us when he is fit. He came back with an injury.

{ed's note - you only need wing backs if the midfield and forwards are not willing to get out wide. If they are willing to do that then the full backs only need to support the attacks, which in my opinion is how a full back should be used anyway. I know it is an old fashioned view, but I think the attackers and midfielders should be capable of doing the creating and scoring more often than not.}Ok m8 but if you don't have the full-backs pushing forward and therefore keeping a flat back four then your gonna have a narrow minded team especially if your playing against a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1. Look at the good teams that play 4-3-3 ie. Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona. The full-backs are key to this set-up in my opinion {ed's note - you only have a narrow minded team if you give them no freedom to roam. If you ever saw Liverpool of the early 80's it had tons of width without any real wingers or wing backs. The players would just go where the space was when we had the ball, it is simple and it works.

Now my team with the current players would be as follows;

- Johnson- - - - - Cole- - - - - - - Babel- -

- - - - - - - - - -Torres- - - - - - - - - - -

I think Babel has the potential to be great if he just gets a prolonged run in the team and confidence. Sadly don't think he will be at the club much longer. I also would like to see Johnson pushed further foward with Kelly at right back. I know your not a fan of Cole ED but what do you think of my team apart from that?

Sabian378 {ed's note - my major worry with your team is Skrtel, he is just not good enough and with Gerrard and Meireles in front of him the defence would get no help. Neither of those are of any use defensively, Gerrard is lazy getting back and Meireles doesn't have any bite about him. I also don't think Babel is up to the job, nice enough lad (he has gone up in my estimation over the last few days, not just because of the Webb pic either) but he doesn't have the right attitude, he is far too laid back to make the most of his talent.}

Liverpool Rumours
Why are spurs always trying to nab our targets, can't they just piss off and make their own transfer list


I might just be talking out my ass but the more I think about it the more it seems to make sense.

1) Liverpool have 30 million to spend in the transfer window.

2) Liverpool take interest in a player of substantial reputation ie) Suarez someone whos price can fluctuate quite a few million.

3) Spurs register their interest in the same player (Having champions league football and hopes for the title have their desired affect)

4)The agent and the club talk to both interested partys ie:player and club

5)Almost overnight you were trying to secure the player for 15 million now you are looking at 20-25 million plus overinflated personal terms to secure the deal.

Spurs are using their stature to inflate everything meaning our budget decreases even though they have no real interest in the player its actually very shrewd bit of business.They can't do it to the likes of man city, United , Arsenal but they can screw us big time.

Ed am I talking sense or twirling deeper and deeper into the depths of paranoid conspiracy theorys.

HARRY REDKNAPP IS AN EVIL LIZARD OVERLORD WELL THATS MORE BELIEVABLE LOOK AT THE C***.

RED WILLY {ed's note - I can't see him having the intelligence to think of that. I think he just literally wants to buy everyone, that means more brown envelopes.}

{ed's note - it would be better with a pacey attacking left back, Robinson for the future. But I would be happy with Kelly at right back, Johnson I would have on the bench to enable a change to be very simply made to switch to a 4-4-2 with him at right midfield. Kelly is far too good a player to drop for Johnson, he offers so much more defensively and is decent getting forward and will get better with experience.}But with the 4-3-3 m8 you need 2 good attacking full-backs. I love Kelly as a defender but going forward i don't think he can offer half as much as Johnson. I think the full-backs are a vital part of the 4-3-3. I know i aint no Jose Mourinho but i always thought that if a team is playing 4-3-3 then you need good attacking full-backs, you not think so m8? {ed's note - you only need wing backs if the midfield and forwards are not willing to get out wide. If they are willing to do that then the full backs only need to support the attacks, which in my opinion is how a full back should be used anyway. I know it is an old fashioned view, but I think the attackers and midfielders should be capable of doing the creating and scoring more often than not.}

Loving the Downing and Cole banter with you Ed. Dont take it wrongly, I love the site and think you guys do a great job. We all have opinions on players and its good to see them differ from time to time. Ed with the current squad what first 11 would you be playing? Interested to know.

Cheers {ed's note - all good mate, glad to see you understand that it is just an opinion, us editors get a lot of abuse for giving an opinion! Personally I would go 4-3-3 with our current squad. Reina speaks for itself, but Kelly, Ayala, Agger and Aurelio the back four. Central midfield of Lucas, Meireles and Gerrard. Up top I would put Pacheco and Kuyt to play off Torres. It is not ideal but you can only pick from the players we have available! What about you?}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sabian 378 here again Ed,

Cheers for replying with your favoured line up for the current team. I do like Pacheco from watching him from the reserves but not sure he is strong enough for the first team at the moment - seems to get pushed off the ball easily, clearly the kid has talent though so maybe with a run in the team he could build on this. I also don't understand why the eds get stick sometimes, like you said its an opinion at the end of the day. Like I said before loving the site ed. Now my team with the current players would be as follows;

- - - - - - - - - -Reina- - - - - - - - - - -

- Kelly- - - -Agger- - - -Skrtl- - - Aurelio- -

- - - - - - Gerrard- - - Meireles- - - - - - -

- Johnson- - - - - Cole- - - - - - - Babel- -

- - - - - - - - - -Torres- - - - - - - - - - -

I think Babel has the potential to be great if he just gets a prolonged run in the team and confidence. Sadly don't think he will be at the club much longer. I also would like to see Johnson pushed further foward with Kelly at right back. I know your not a fan of Cole ED but what do you think of my team apart from that?

Sabian378 {ed's note - my major worry with your team is Skrtel, he is just not good enough and with Gerrard and Meireles in front of him the defence would get no help. Neither of those are of any use defensively, Gerrard is lazy getting back and Meireles doesn't have any bite about him. I also don't think Babel is up to the job, nice enough lad (he has gone up in my estimation over the last few days, not just because of the Webb pic either) but he doesn't have the right attitude, he is far too laid back to make the most of his talent.}

I can't believe this you are referencing one time that was talked about after the game by lawro and hansen.
Im not being funny but I would have pussied that challenge as well Rafael the f* *ing dirty little brazillian jumped in two footed and if that caught his ankle well lets just say when was the last time we seen Valencia play.
I personally think Meireles is a quality midfielder and can't wait for him to get a hold on our game.


RED WILLY {ed's note - did you not see him pull out of every challenge against Blackpool as well?}


No I didn't I work night shifts so only caught the 30 min highlights on Sky sports.Ok previous statement void.
I still believe that he is a great midfielder and to be honest a breath of fresh air to watch compared to the normal passing and movement of our midfield.
I can't quote the verocity of the tackles that he avoided against Blackpool I don't think they are a dirty team so id imagine them being fair but strong.
But the Rafael tackle was a disgrace more so than the supposed red card offence committed by Gerrard even though if you watch that Oshea is making a similar if not identical challenge only his is slow and Gerrard skins him to the ball.

I personally like Meireles and want to see him play alongside Gerrard some more with two wingers and two Strikers as I believe as good solid playmakers we could see some real football again.

RED WILLY {ed's note - I do agree that Meireles offers a lot on the ball, but he will need to toughen up a lot. You have to be prepared to dig in at times and he has yet to show the ability to do that. That is the main difference between Arsenal and Barca, they both play pretty football but Arsenal haven't got the bite to win the ball back that Barca have. Too many pretty boys like Nasri and Arshavin who want to do the fancy flicks but are not prepared to put their foot in when needed. Whereas Xavi is certainly not afraid to get stuck in and Pedro does so much work getting back and forward he makes Kuyt look lazy at times.}

{ed's note - the width would come from the players doing what they should do - moving into space, wherever on the pitch it is. You don't have to have wingers or wing backs to provide width if you play with a fluid formation. Gerrard, for instance, is perfectly capable of getting out wide and putting in a cross of real quality. Pacheco, Kuyt and Torres are all perfectly capable of finding space in wide areas as well.}I suppose it could work if Nando and Kuyt worked the channels to allow our full-backs to push forward. But then i think we'd have to play Johnson instead of Kelly at right back and we'd probably need a decent attacking left-back to exploit the space which Nando and Kuyt have created on either side. Wouldn't a Clichy or Evra just be the perfect candidates for Liverpool's LB position, or even better Contreao if the rumours have any substance. I believe then, that the 4-3-3 as you stated would be the perfect formation for us to play {ed's note - it would be better with a pacey attacking left back, Robinson for the future. But I would be happy with Kelly at right back, Johnson I would have on the bench to enable a change to be very simply made to switch to a 4-4-2 with him at right midfield.

Sorry Ed, but where would the width come from, do you not think we'd be too narrow playing like that? Dont take it offensive now, its just a question {ed's note - the width would come from the players doing what they should do - moving into space, wherever on the pitch it is.

The problem with Joe Cole is that he hasn't really got a position that you could say is his best position. He is not really suitable behind the forwards or on the wings so where would you play him? He just seems like a player with good static ball skills who has lived of his hype when he was a youth. Do you tend to agree ed? {ed's note - I just think he is a nothing player, he offers next to nothing going forward because he has absolutely no idea when or where to make runs. He lacks the ability to pick the right pass at the right time and his only saving grace is that he can beat a man with the ball. But then he has no clue what to do with the ball and doesn't have the pace to get any space for himself either. He is even worse when we don't have the ball! I do agree he has lived off hype, but I never understood it at the time. From the first moment I saw him I just thought he was like a poor man's McManaman, just not good enough to deserve the hype he got. I have seen many better players not make it because they are not good enough, yet somehow he has made millions. Another thing we can thank Gerrard for bringing to the club along with Roy Hodgson!}

I can't believe people would be happy to see us buy Downing?! He is not good enough for LFC at all. He is an average player who would bring nothing to our team and that's saying something. As Paul Merson said if Stewart Downing was right footed he wouldn't even be a football player!
Sabian378 {ed's note - Paul Merson knows nothing about football, he is a drug addled imbecile who is so stupid the whole rest of the Soccer Saturday panel spend most of the show laughing at his idiocy. I really wouldn't take any notice of anything he says, if he knew anything he would still be managing and not sat in a studio.}

I completey agree with your words on Paul Merson Ed. However it doesn't change the fact that Stewart Downing is average at best. And If we was a right sided player he wouldn't of even been able to touch an England shirt let alone wear one. LFC should be aiming far far higher than the likes of Downing. {ed's note - he would have still had a career, anyone English who can cross and run fast will get a game for England. He can do both. Shame he has a very poor football brain and tends to fall asleep in matches. But the right coaching could work wonders on that.}

- - - - - - - - - - -
Ed why do you not rate Joe Cole? Curently LFC are struggling and I believe this is because we really lack players that can create something out of nothing. Players that have an eye for a killer pass or that bit of skill to beat a man. I believe Joe Cole possesses the skill craft and guile to produce something out of nothing. Granted he hasnt had a great start for LFC but this is down to Suspension and Injury - I believe if we could keep him fit and give him an extended run in the team he could be fantastic for us. Also of the few games he has played for us this season he seems to be one of the only players that moves forward with the ball - getting his head up and looking foward for a pass or a run. We have far too many players that are happy to play sidewards.

- on the transfer front I think we should be looking at Oscar Cardozo or Suarez as a strike partner for Torres. Would also like to see 2 wingers come in but not sure whats available really. Dont think Elia is good enough - great pace but no end product.

-Let me know what you think Ed.
Cheers
Sabian378 {ed's note - Joe Cole has never been any more than an average player who is given huge amounts of hype because he is English. Nowadays he is a player who is injury prone, robbed of all pace by the injuries, and with little to offer the club. He has tried hard in every appearance, but Chelsea were happy to lose him for a reason, and he is paid a ludicrous amount of money. Suso is already a better player than him, why waste our time and money with him when we could be blooding Suso and giving him experience?}

am I not alone in not being a big Mereiles fan? can move the ball well but think he lacks bottle - seen him shirk quite a few challenges ?

I think if we got both Downing and young we would have great width. They would give us pace which we lack and assists. We could do what chelsea did when they had robben and Duff and play them as forwards with Torres. As it looks as if kenny has been playing a 4-3-3 the past two games.
Anyone agree?

And Cheers ed, I was pretty sure one of you made that point about Cavani before still being a Palermo player. I very muxh doubt we would only be paying 16 million like someone claimed before as he's having a good season.

Liverpool have went for young Irish forward Tomas McCann from Donegal Celtic from the Irish priemer League and the transfer has been secured for around £30k. it has came from a source close to the player, has been agreed to be loaned to Tranmere Rovers for the rest of the season to gain experience in English football.

im from northen ireland not one dc player is worthy of the red shirt

Tomas McCann isn't your normal football player from DC, he only played a handfull of games for DC as he is a County Senior Gaelic football player (Antrim), he was away playing professional aussie rules in austrilia (AFL).
He is an absolute flying machine, has great power and strength and his fitness levels are ridiculous. He was on that show Oz factor and he won the bleep test by a mile amongst 30 other athletes think he got level 15.4 in it or something. I can actually see why a big football team would be looking, he would be a great prospect.

All these rumours saying we are going to sign suarez, downing, young are totally nonsense though I would like to see signings but I'm afraid we can't salvage anything this season so why pay over inflated odds for players in this transfer rumours and sign them in the summer!

Maybe NESV or FSG don't have the money to compete in the transfer market.

Another joke on rumours is the bent signing for aston villa, well they did sell Milner for 27million so they do have the funds and don't need to sell, so people stop linking Liverpool with Villa players, they won't sell simple as that.

Question for editor, Whats you gut feeling on transfers, Honestly?

but something that concerns me is that we have been linked with all these players and don't get me wrong great players come with great prices so i was wondering if we sign any of the name in the hat

Young
Lukaku
Hazard
Downing
Warnock
Adam

who has the money is it John W Henry or is it a sleeping partner who has deep pockets

John W Henry has a net worth of $1.1 billion but i take it that money is all tied up right and like i have read on here he has lots of rich friends so lets see him put his hand in his pockets ( and his mates if needed) and buy someone
