Roy do you think that Werner's quote's today about us having money to buy the right player was maybe bad timing? We are hopefully trying to sign some players, and i don't think what he said today about funds could help us get a player for the right price. Will clubs know we have money now and inflate the prices?
I loved his interview and i know the fans are happy, but i just don't get why he said this during a January transfer window. If you look at the articles on Newsnow Liverpool you will see he is being miss quoted as usual. They are saying that we have the money for big signings, Kenny has a war chest etc.
I hope we do have money and targets are identified, then what Werner said would make a lot more sense.
Blair Mayne YNWA
==================
I think other (selling) clubs will know we are not manchester city, if you remember chelsea even in their big buying days they did nt spend or paid for over priced players (apart from one certain ex ac milan player) . .
To my mind Werner's statement served 2 purposes (and you need to remember he also mentioned liverpool as a top-4 club twice):
- first purpose is to assure current players and targets we will spend when we have to and have the means to do it
- secondly and more important for NESV is as you mentioned it made the fans happy , the more I read about them the more I am understanding there are very much customer (fans) focus, a happy customer will spend big . .
There are very good business people and have a winning mentality they will take lfc back to where it belong.

Suarez is good. . as long as he does not dive and cheat like we have all seen him do already. . as long as kenny has a word. .then i think he could be a great signing. . . he can score goals and is a creator as well. . so if torres gets injured he could paly as the main man or as a number 10. . still worried about the fact we are like an over 40's team with no pace. . i thought babel would have done the trick when he signed but we forgot to give him a basic IQ test!

Would just like you all to acknowledge when the suarez deal is done ( he has just signed on a 4 yr deal worth a an estimated 4 sugar lumps per week and a 4yr supply of dental floss) that my source was correct. .
Back me up on this ed. . go back to my post on September 4th 1977. . . if you don't believe me

Haven't really seen much of Suarez other than the world cup and YouTube videos. Ed is he as fast as he looks and is there a chance he might turn out like some of the other Dutch league scoring sensations/ prem goal flops e.g. Alfonso alves, kuyt and van venegoor of hesselink? What do you reckon Ed? Worth the risk? {ed's note - I don't think he is, not for the ridiculous amount quoted for a player who has never played in a decent league.}
19 Jan 2011 23:24:58
Everyone that dosn't know please read this. Suarez is not playing for Ajax tonight because he is serving a 7 match ban for biting a PSV player on the goolies.
He's obviously got large goolies because they reach up to the top of his chest! !

Suarez DEAL IS DONE AND WILL BE COMPLETED TOMORROW HE IS EXPECTED FOR MEDICAL TOMORROW (EARLY) AT MELWOOD AFTERNOON PRESS RELEASE NESV CAN TALK THE TALK NOW THEY ARE STARTING TO SHOW THEY CAN WALK THE WALK LONG MAY IT LASTo KOPITE o hold your horses i wouldn't believe any player is signed until i see it announced on the official website, all nesv have done is talk and talk is cheap , less than two weeks left in this transfer window and no improvement made in the team yet.
19 Jan 2011 23:21:19
I am not confident we will get him, I am sure we are talking to his agent, but as you know there are few steps between talking to him, and him wearing the red shirt .
He wants to play in the PL, and as far as I know we are the only english club talking to him, so chances are good . for now . .
But even if we get him . . he comes with baggage and bad temper not sure if he is suited to the PL?
Roy
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I think some good players come with baggage Roy i.e Terry, Carroll, Shrek, Ballotelli etc. But i wouldn't mind them playing for our club (even Shrek).
Roy do you think that Werner's quote's today about us having money to buy the right player was maybe bad timing? We are hopefully trying to sign some players, and i don't think what he said today about funds could help us get a player for the right price.

jonnybarnes89-90 {ed's note - I think they just need better players than Zat Knight.}
19 Jan 2011 23:16:08
Or is because the player is over rated and over hyped? Anyone got any stats on his performances against elite clubs?

If you go to sky sports on the front page, they show the stats for the world cup comparing all the top strikers, i know it was only one tornament so hard to judge.

First of all i want to say how great it is to have King Kenny back in charge, where he belongs
It's clear to all Liverpool fans that we are seriously lacking in attacking options, particularly strikers.
If Suarez does sign for us then i think it will definetly be a step in the right direction.
IMO we should be doing all we can to get Aguero to LFC, probaly in the summer. All the top clubs in Europe have at least 3 top class strikers and we should be no different. With Torres, Aguero and Suarez we would have one of the best striking options in Europe.
But even with those we still lack pace and more importantly creativity. IMO there is one other player we should be going all out to get, yet any news on where he may end up has gone quiet. That player is Alexis Sanchez. This guy is incredible, he has loads of pace and skill. He will be as good as Christiano Ronaldo in a few years. His club want £25-£30m for him and for me he is definetly worth it.
I also hope we can get Keisuke Honda, he's another player that can create and score goals.
Man City are the team on the way up, because of there potfulls of money. If NESV really want to get LFC back to the top and winning trophies again we must be looking to spend £100m+ in Jan and this summers transfer window.
If i could pick the starting eleven for next season it would be Reina, Kelly, Coentrao, Agger, Cahill, Gerrard, Alonso or Banega, Honda, Sanchez, Torres, Aguero/ Suarez
I was really happy with what Tom Werner had to say today, i'm sure goods times are coming back to LFC.

By bringing in Suarez first, this will show other top players that Liverpool are still the big (top four) club.
More top players will want to join, for the long-term rather than the short-term blip of this season.
The more I hear about NESV the more I like the way they do business. . softly, softly, catchy monkey :-)

Can I just say. . if Suarez doesn't sign for Liverpool FC 2mo, can all these people on here saying that he will admit you are wrong?
Because it seems like everyone on here knows all these things as a fact! They all know someone who has a brother who once had an electrician who bumped into a guy in the street who has a sister who once went out with a guy who once worked in the club shop at Liverpool who knows 100% fact that a certain player will be joining on a certain day. . yet it never happens!
Let's just have some rumours and speculation on here!

Quotes attributed to Tom Werner from NESN's website:
"We consider ourselves to be a big-four club and we have a lot of resources. At the same time we need to figure a way to grow our club because no-one is happy with the status quo at Anfield because we need to increase our match-day revenues.
"We have a very high wage bill and it shouldn't be such that we are 12th in the league right now. I don't want to get the wage bill down, I want it to increase and we have the resources to do that . . but we are not going to be making decisions which do not improve the fortunes of the club long-term.
"Everyone knows our long-term goals are to restore the lustre to the club and we want to honour our great history by winning more trophies, '' Werner added. "This has obviously been a somewhat frustrating period for all of our supporters so in the short term we just want to see some progress and hopefully under Kenny our fortunes will improve.
. .
Suarez fee is within reach, "there is no budget constraints"

Just to repeat what i said on here last night, No Suarez, No Turan , No Young or Downing.

The other signing will be Gary Cahill of Bolton.

Gervinho scores 2 and hazard scored 1.
the only reason i checked lille's score was to check out those two players. lol.
Gervinho is doing very well scored 10 in 20 games, 1 in 2 ratio. not bad. hes a striker/ winger. really strong. id sign him for 10mill.

Suarez isn't injured he's probably still serving his 7 match ban for biting an opposing player. He no doubt has quality but i'm unsure about him as a person, good signing none the less if we get him

Ed, i find it strange that regardless of what bullsh@t articles people write on both pages you publish them, i know i have wrote a couple, but as soon as i ask a question that my be questioning the information that you seem to answer it doesn't even make it on the banter page.
Once again i will ask how you seem so sure when answering all questions relating to Suarez that we will/ are not interested in him, there seems to be a consistant theme running through the answers relating to him that this will not occurr, despite the facts that every paper/ sports channel/ dreamer/ fantasist are reporting we are in negotations with him and his club.
I know there are a few of you so if you do have reliable information regarding signings why don't you publish it.

As happy as I am with Dalglish in the hotseat, we need to be realistic, the current crop of players just don't care about the club any more, with the exception of stevie and jamie (don't care about torres anymore) a HUGE amount of rebuilding is in order for the club. These players wouldn't play under Hodgson (who I believe should have been given more time) and I dought they will play even under king kenny. I'ts hard to believe they came SO close to the league title just two years ago, the squad couldn't have changed from second place to seventh place in just ONE Season and it's hard to put all the blame on Rafa for it.
In about two or three years time (at the earliest) we should be back among the best, but for now we are barely mid table contenders, which is unacceptable with the history, reputation and players we have got. Seriously, how can a squad containing the likes of gerrard, torres, cole, reina, carragher and kuyt (one of my favourites) not be capable of beating most teams in the premier league, let alone teams in the championship, league one and, god forbid, league two (damn you northampton).
P.S Although I don't believe a thing about the luis suarez rumours, i think he would be a FANTASTIC signing for the club and allow us to get rid of jovanovic and ngog (sorry, but theyr'e both useless).
19 Jan 2011 22:06:14

We will not sign Suarez because he is to expensive specially in January, I would think there will be a few squad players.
Yeah maybe JW Henry met with Suarez agent doesn't mean immanent transfer of Suarez.
If I was the owners I would wait until after the Wolves game, If we lose we will be in a relegation fight!
One player I would like to see is Van Bommel, no nonsense midfielder who would harden up the midfield, and get rid of usleless Lucas.

Just heard the rumour that lukaku will be signing for citeh? I wonder who is advising the player that this would be a good move or maybe this is even more evidence that money is the only motivation to the modern day footballer.
If I was advising any player for footballing reasons I would tell them not to touch citeh with a barge pole. They are not interested in player development and only interested in creating a football monopoly. I'm not bitter towards them, if anything I'm greatful that were not following their prototype. No matter how wealthy the owners are, I can only see it ending in a bad way as their business plan is not sustainable. I can't help but laugh at the wasted millions in such a short time. Best examples are Santa Cruz approx £1 mil per game, £6.25 mil per goal. Robinho approx £1 mil per game, £3 mill per game. Adebayor approx £1 mil per game, £2 mill per game.
So lukaku do yourself a favour a choose a proper team, with a proper history and proper fans.

Even the ed's ignorance is more astounding, Owen actually took a pay drop to join Real Madrid, and one thing that doesn't drive him is money, he could have got more money when he left Newcastle as well. Michael Owens only interest in football, is exactly the same as Carra and Stevie, winning trophies, pity some of our current players aren't the same.
Does that mean also that if he came back, which I wish he would, and put the shirt on again, and started scoring, you wouldn't chant his name - yeah right, I also think Kenny would have him back -only on a pay as you pay basis methinks ha

Why would Owen want to join a club he thinks are in decline and has gone on tv and said this, surely he must realise he has burnt that bridge now and that he is never going to be welcomed back.

Why would we prefer lukaku who in my opinion is too young and un proven on the world stage over luis suarez who is world big name and had a cracking world cup
Ifbthis isntrue the desision makers atmthe club need to sort out their priorities
Suarez- - agree
Lukaku- - disagree

he said this 'meeting' was with Pep's brother Pere, who is also Suarez's agent. the OP suggested that he spoke to Pere about Pep.

I am astounded at the ignorance of so called LFC fans on this site sometimes.
Stevie G and Carra would welcome Michael Owen back with open arms, they are still very good friends.
And so would the majority of the fans if he started scoring goals as freely as he did before.
As far as being at Old Crapford, a certain Mr Beardsley was on their books, as was a certain Mr Ince, as Liverpool fan doesn't matter where they've played, who they've played for once they put the shirt on they have my backing. In 50 years as a Kopite, never boo'd a Liverpool player, it's not what we do, although some have certainly deserved it.
One day the truth about what Rick Parry did that made him leave in the first will come out. {ed's note - Owen was always going to leave, his only interest was money.}

Hi all,
Sorry to go off the Suarez topic- almost every post this week has been about this guy. Apart from the world cup I've not seen him play.
But what about kieron Gibbs? Looks so composed, good tackling, pace, positioning and can play ball. Ed reckon AW would ever let him go? Even if we offered 10mill- it'd b a bargain IMO! ESP if coentrao is 25mill! Any thoughts? {ed's note - he is Wenger's first choice left back, he just suffers a lot of injuries which has stopped him nailing down the spot. Armand Traore is the one who would be available.}

- - - - - - -
I'm tolerant of some ridiculous rumours, but this is up there with the worst of them. We're trying to unite the club, if Owen is brought in it won't help at all to have an arrogant, mediocre, greedy, bluenose c*rt getting paid £100k p/ w to keep Brukner in the job. The fans would all hate him and he'd have fallen far down in the estimations of Carra and Gerrard - the two who are effectively 2nd and 3rd in command to the manager (because of Sammy Lee's lack of leadership and management skills) and control the dressing room opinion.

Henry's dinner with Pere Guardiola was also an attempt to get a dialogue going with his brother, Pepe Guardiola. One of the guests at the restaurant, who has insisted he remain nameless, has confirmed that he overheard them talking about Pepe's situation at Barcelona.
Makes sense if you ask me. Pepe has shown at Barcelona that he is extremely attentive to the club's history. He's young, ambitious, and has the man management skills to get the best out of his players. And perhaps most importantly; he's high-profile enough to convince Torres to stick around for another season.

Pep Guardiola was not at the meeting (if there was one) for 3 reasons?

also young ince running down contract so another talent lost {ed's note - Ince is not as good as Sterling and is simply not worthy of the pay he is demanding. He is badly advised.}
have faith my fellow liverpudlians we won't be missing out on suarez
19 Jan 2011 19:31:45
Editor, While i appreciate you do want to believe or get excited over the possible Suarez transfer, i am the same, however i have been scouring the internet and texting every single contact i have and they have confirmed the interest is definetly there and two bids have been placed. Wether we will land him is a completely different story.
All this gathering pace stuff is nonsense. If a transfer is going to happen it will if not it won't end of story. Your Pessimistic attitude is starting to irritate but in the same way we all need to calm down he plays for Ajax as of today. I expect we will see some new faces. Perk up ed you okay? You must be pleased to at LEAST be heavily linked to suarez. Act like a true scouse and keep the faith man we gotta stick together and pull through.
Walk on.
Matthew Thompson.

Im a bit pessemistic about the suarez rumours, what i can't understand is what is john and linda doing dining in london with his agent when we are 300miles away in nw, unless his agent is doing business with a london club and they have gone down there to try and hijack the deal, it just does not make sense to me, jimmybosun

Been reading post's on here for a while now and can't help thinking most of the people on here are a little impatient with the new owners. In an interview they did a while back when most of us were calling for roy's head they talked a little about this transfer window and stressed they would move for players should they need to and any transfer that would happen towards the end of the window. With that in mind they seem to be true to their word and any transfer that occur will be done in house not played out to the media as has been done in the past. Have faith and get behind the club not just the team!

I've noticed how negetive the eds have been over past few days about the suarez deal saying it's all rumours and more than likely won't happen. there's no smoke without fire, firstly babel comes out and says he is happy to go back to ajax as part of the deal (that isn't happening) now john henry has dinner with his agent so i think it's pretty obvious their in talks now whether a deal can be done or not is another thing so for an ed to say it's a smoke screen is a bit wide of the mark and tapping up goes on all the time.

Brilliant to see the king going down to speak to the academy and youth players , and to take our two best youth prospects ( my favs ) COADY AND SUSO! to train with the first team is awesome from the king , them lads will be buzzing and i expect them both to have a huge future at the club in years to come.

So the Suarez rumours are on high alert as all major sports websites are linking him with a high probability to join Anfield. Cost is a concern at £25 million plus. There is no reason that we should send Babel to Hoffenheim when he would be an asset to Ajax and potentially rejuvenate his career. Eventhough we purchased Babel at a tender age and at a cost of £11.5 m, his valuation has gone down to £8 m. If Ajax is concerned with not receiving a lot back, then we should develop a relationship with them where we could loan a player every season (Knowing that Ajax has one of the best development programs on the planet). A deal of £17 million, plus Babel and a youngster or a couple to loan every season should sway them. Youngsters that are on the verge of doing big things but are stuck in the reserves and need big exposure such as Amoo, Gulaci, Banton, Saric and even Pacheco. I mention these players because they are quick and would develop their confidence in a league where quickness is needed. They would be ready and that confidence will be key. .(look at the GK Mihaylovich).
Liverpool can climb the table very easily if we get a wide men with confidence and the abilty to score and cross the ball. ie: Turan £11m, Brunt £6-7m N'Zogbia £7, Park-Chu Young £7m, Keisuke Honda (can play wing, off striker and even second striker if need be) £14m. At least 3 would be perfect because it would add depth and create the much needed competition.
Defence is shaky and I'm sure Sir Pepe is fuming not having Clean sheets on a regular basis. Agger (inj prone and really hasn't stepped up) could go for a £7-8m fee, Skrtel £7m and use either Kelly, Carra (won't last long), Wilson (always plays well, when plays), Ayala, Soto (great player to have on the bench and in certain games) and develop Wisdom for the near future! Getting a Samba type player is key and Gabriel Milito is available for the short term as well as E. Garay (young and still plays well) or even the scouse Scott Dann.
Liverpool should get in the act that eventhough we have new owners we MUST sell to buy and there are a lot of players who we need to sell (Lucas-will never be consistent, Poulsen - not a good fit, Konchesky-His mother "made his bed"). .Finally, Glen Johnson should be used as a winger period and only on the Right side as he's not comfortable on runs on the left even though he should pull it back and cross with his right!
TO SUM UP LFC
1. Torres needs an "active" strike partner not someone who's like him. (Suarez, Honda, Bryan Ruiz), or even Kuyt.
2. Gerrard and Carra are getting older and need replacing with POWER young blood. (Sterling, Wisdom, Flanagan, Robo, Coady, Ince, Ngoo, Silva, Saric, Pacheco are all promising and we should do like ManU and give the younsters loan deals to build confidence of playing in front large squads and competing in a competition!)
3. Keeping Pepe happy. He's not replacable because he's not just a great shot stopper but a player who moves the play forward, so he requires some big "beasts" at the back in the mould of Hansen and Hyypia!
4. Where's the defensive midfielder?? Mash is doing what he deserves. SITTING ON THE BENCH! He's beloved on Merseyside and his greed left him elsewhere. Didn't he know that if he stayed at LFC and we became Champs once again he would be a living legend? Didn't get the right advice chap! We need a Muntari or a Lassana Diarra? SIMPLE!
5. We need to build with quality players not that which comes with the hype. Fill the positions we need with quaility and if it costs a bit then spend it! (not like £12 for an unproven Elia :s). LFC need to give Stevie G what he craves! He entertained us for a decade and gave us all hope. The management needs to do it for Stevie's, Carra's, Pepe's and for the roaring fans all over the world!

We don't have the attacking flair players in need of cover at the moment, so I would rather see Coady developed to fill that role in the future when the flair has been introduced.}

We need to start competing for the best players and not average players like warnock , players like warnock will get us nowhere , hes 29 and a liverpool reject Remember! {ed's note - in what world is Coentrao one of the best left backs?

Regarding all these exhausting rumours, its totally pointless, like a few before has mentioned we have targeted and are heavily rumoured to be interested or have bid for etc etc. (yawn yawn) getting boring now.
Watching Villa (in bottom 3) Move for £18 million players one day signing as press conference the next, now that's swift and how to do things under the radar no time for rumours or all the rubbish going on it seems with EVERY player we "target".
So until NESV show their hand or "balls" in the transfer market i'm afraid we will be at midnight Jan 31st watching sky sports and at the stroke of Feb. 1st be deeply deeply and having watched all our "targets" disappear or be snapped up by others who don't Fart about.

NESN, the news network controlled by Henry and Werner released story about Henry and his wife having dinner with suarez's agent, FDB rambling on about Suarez training well but available for an obsene amount of money( reeks of desperation).
Only one way this will turn out. Suarez is a pool player. Henry and Werner would not allow the story to be released if it was not extremely probable. I would not put it past Henry to have had the dinner photos taken by his own network to provoke Ajax into selling. These guys know what's going on and are masters at media manipulation.
Ajax can't afford to turn this down, especially when Suarez is adding to this media speculation.
It's a done deal.

BREAKING NEWS:
Liverpool are very close to securing Luis Suarez transfer. Which will involved Babel Joining Ajax. Babel has helped by being reluctant to join Hoff and wanting to re-join Ajax. Ajax would love Babel back as he was the fans favorite. And would seem as a fan pleaser by the Ajax Board due to losing a good player like Suarez. BTW since yesterday Spurs have been out bidding us. The meeting with his agent was obviously to discuss possible contract terms

Here's a direct quote from Tom Werner on BBC: "We don't have any budget for this. We believe if there is value in the transfer market, we will attack. This is a crazy market. You think you have a target you can announce, but then something happens.
"We'll be driven by the interests of the team long-term, and we feel we've got some targets that we'll be able to announce. Damien [Comolli] has been on the phone and we talk, and we hope we can have a match with someone we desire and that they'll come to Anfield. We certainly have the resources."
The way I read this, there is no limited budget for Kenny and Liverpool this transfer window, and for those posting that funds will not be available for Kenny because he is a short term manager, read between the lines; if he does well the rest of the year, he isn't going anywhere.
With the exception of the Suarez rumors, which I think are legitimate, I think Liverpool will come in with some surprise signings of people that have flown under the radar, like Turan, Gomez, Toivonen, Gervinho, etc. Just like what happened with Mereiles, which was Roy's one good signing for us. Read what Tom Werner says about the market and Kenny. It is easy to see what he is saying.

This is my understanding aswell, I don't use wikipedia to look for facts and i don't see it as the bastion of all knowledge. I understand your confusion as if you type FSG into google you will get the marketing arm of NESV who will be sponsoring fulham in 2011 and i bet you know that from. . let me guess. . WIKIPEDIA

Hi Ed(s),
Thanks again for all the work you do.
Just to stop people worrying about NESV not intending to improve the squad and KK not being given money, this was just posted on BBC Sport website;
"I would we devastated if we didn't see some improvement, " Werner told BBC Sport. "We've identified some targets and hope we will be successful.
"I expect progress, we've resources to improve, we're not driven by spending, but our team needs to get younger."
I would recommend the whole article, people can make their own judgements on the truth of it. I think the key point is the comment that we need young players. Once again NESV stating thet they are going to build for the future. Let's be patient, and give them time. They are talking to the King and listening to his input, and clearly starting to make some bids, so lets see what happens in the future.
Also, if this is the case, I reckon it shows they really will be considering KK for a long-term role at the club - or maybe they are just scared into spending now by our league position? Ed, anyone else, comments welcome.
Cheers,
YNWA
{Editor's Note: I think it supports the position that they do wish to do the right thing and are taking a responsible approach to the management and running of the club. I expect in a year or so the club may start to see the real financial benefits of Tom Werners ability for media exploitation.}

Suarez is defintely a no go then if ajax hav the balls to ask for shed loads of cash i don't think henry is prepared to spend
what u reckon ed? {ed's note - I don't believe we were ever after him.}
I don't think its a case that the owners don't have the balls to spend the money, im sure they are willing to fund transfers, but to spend close to 30 million on a player from the dutch league and unproven in any of the top leagues would be a major risk and if we really want him im sure the price would be more realistic in the summer. Personally I think christian eriksen would be a better signing if we were to raid Ajax. Also I would love if we bid for Thiago Alcantara from barca as he is out of contract this summer.
Ed any idea if the scouts have been looking at these 2 players?

Suarez's price tag going up to 30 million Euros is a complete bluff. They are doing this to create a bidding war as there is only us and Tottenham genuinely interested, and even spurs are loosing interest! R.Madrid and Napoli have made tentative enquiries but just watch the price for Suarez plummit to between £15-£18 million if no other clubs come in! Could well be a deadline day transfer i thinks!
Oh and also, the babel deal with Hoffenheim could be held up due to Demba Ba's proposed transfer to a unamed EPL team. hoffenheim agreed a deal in principle the same time as demba Ba's medical at Stoke but due to him failing the medical its cocked up a few things with the babel transfer. I think Babel could be using the Ajax thing as a smokescreen, warning Hoffenheim to get their backsides into gear and get the deal done.
Ive heard a few people talking about re-signing Cisse on a few blog pages now, really can't see taht one happening! If we get Suarez for the right price we should definately invest the rest of our promised £30m in Arda Turan.
2 players who i think would turn our season right round! Be sure that any players leaving will be replaced.

It is clear that everyone at LFC is working really hard to improve the squad, but nothing will happen. LFC are in a vulnerable position and every club we negotiate with will seek to take advantage of it. The same thing will happen this summer. The only way out of this is to pay stupid money. I don't think NESV will do that, therefore expect to see Bosmans and second-rate players. It's sad, but let's just accept the truth.

{Editor's Note: I appreciate that you are unable to grasp the fact that Liverpool is owned by NESV, who also own a sports marketing agency called Fenway Sports Group. Fenway Sports Group are sponsors of Fulham FC. I don't however appreciate how am I dragging down the "respect for the other eds" - what I did was correct an error.

Sorry if this is old news, but Tom Werner has just been on Sky Sports News. He said that we are looking for transfer targets. He also said that it's a market where you can be about to make an announcement and then something changes.
He also said that Damien C is on the phone, as we speak, and that we're hoping to make announcements soon.
He reiterated of course that we want to make investments for the long term, and that we're looking to improve 'not just this week, but next year also'
And he added that we are well financed and (the the Eds always remind us) there is no specific budget, just a desire to achieve value for the club.

Liverpool to sign 2 strikers in this window Suarez will be signed on Thursday (everyone knows Thursday is the new Tuesday)
The other striker will be Carlton Cole from West Ham in a straight swap that sees Joe Cole go in the other direction there will be no fee involved but Liverpool will pay the difference in the wages both players earn to West Ham it seems Joe Cole misses London and this is seen as the best way forward for both clubs
Liverpool have lined up Warnock on loan as insurance against missing out on the Portugues LB as all parties play a waiting game on that one
The deal for A Young will take place in July and a loan deal for SWP is being looked at as well as a deel for Jarvis
Johnson will move to R Madrid and Alonso will move in the opposit direction again in July
Poulson Jovanovic and have been informed that they can find there own clubs for summer moves

Liverpool FC are not after Suarez I can assure you its just media rumour that has been blown out all proportion.
Ryan Babel hardly starts for Liverpool is not a regular by any means so they have decided to cash in. This will happen to a number of other players incl Jovanavic and Poulson.
No replacement for babel is being looked at. Dalglish has agreed to work with the current squad until the summer. No incomings for January.

It p1$$e$ me right off with (so called) fans slagging off our players. E.g., Kuyt is Cr@p. Er. .no he's not. (good comeback eh?)
If fans think we should just have a team full of Messi's then they haven't got a clue. Kuyt is frustrating a lot of the time. .but his comittment to the Reds is amazing. he would give his Liver or possibly one of his Kidneys for the club.
He pops up with important goals and should have our respect. Don't forget he is a striker who has been forced to play right midfield his entire Liverpool career (odd exceptions playing upfront. .don't be padantic!)
Slag off the players that don't pull their weight. .but when a guy is busting his gut for the cause get off his back.
simply cos hes hard working and tries hard but never produces the good she is carp, and those who don't work hard and don't produce the goods there carp, those who work hard and produce goods r good players, same as those who don't work hard but if they produce goals and passes then they r good players i don't care if they don't run round like headless chickens like kuyt aslong as they pass well tackle well and score simmplleeesss

The Suarez deal looks back on - John Henry dined with his agent last night which sounds very promising. Babel has not yet joined Hoffenheim, he wants to re-join Ajax and I think he'll be used as part of the deal to bring Suarez to Anfield for about £18m. Of course that's just a rumour nothing is certain, other than Henry dining with his agent.
Coentrao I very doubt will be joining us. I don't believe whats been said about him eyeing a move to Anfield. However much I would love it!

I'd just like to see what other fans thoughts are on frank de boer coming out and saying it will take a rediculas offer from a big club to allow suarez to leave, would we be better dropping it if this is the case rather than paying over the odds, let them keep him and line up a deal for signing aguaro (who supports our great club) in the summer? Meanwhile tuck joe cole in behind torres to supply him. If you agree that aguaro would be a better signing click (bel) thanks, Gazza.

Hi Ed. I'e been keeping an eye on the transfer news as have we all. But haven't heard anything about a natural left winger coming in. Then I hear that Everton and Tottenham are looking at him. I remember that we have been speculating moving for him a season or 2 ago why haven't we seriously made a move? I think £5m is a steal for him. What do you think?
Also if you could have any 2 further additions who realistically would they be and why?

With an impressive 1.75 goals to games record, LFC should be bending over backwards to sign Suarez. Remember we paid in the region of 20 million for Nando so we should be able to get this guy. Come on Mr Henry, get your wallet out.
In my opinion though I don't actually don't think we will land this player or anyone of note in this window. I think its a lot of smoke and mirrors. If we knew Bent was up for leaving Sunderland why didn't we put a bid in? Premiership proven talent instead of a gamble

Led to believe commoli is doing a lot of work, sooooo, why would he be doing that for know good reason? Surely he's on wedge and nesv wouldn't shell out for a puppet. .

* Aurelio is injured again and Konchelsky has to come back in
* Babel leaves and we are short of a second winger (or first)
* we finish 10th
* we are knocked out of the Europa League at the semi-finals stage
* Mavinga and Pacheco ask to leave due to lack of opportunities
* Suso feels iolated and is tapped up by Real Madrid
* Comoli feels we need a 'younger' manager for the new season
* Jonjo Shelvey is frustrated and signs for West Ham as part of their charge back to the PL in 2012
* Manchester United push for Reina and he feels torn due to the uncertainty of the current situation
* Torres' agent is unhappy with the lack of playing support and talks to Manchester City
* the fans start turning - even slowly - against NESV due to perceived lack of investment
* Owen Coyle and Martin O'Neill's names appear yet again on nthe list of our potential new manager
* Joe Cole is as poor for the rest of the season as he has been so far this
* Romelu Lukaka signs a pre-contract agreement in February with Chelsea
* Ada Turan loses patience and moves to Bayern Munich
* Suarez finally signs for Barcelona
* the fans voice more concerns over the lack of players coming into the club as MUFC and Spurs announce another signing at the end of this window
* Arsenal push ahead with more determination than usual and sign Keisuke Honda
* Lucas mulls over an offer from a German club and leaves
* Negredo fails to be impressed by our league position and stays put
* Charlie Adams signs at the last knockings and we are presented with him as a 'major January signing'
Not quite what we wanted, but maybe there is some element of truth in all this?

He may be a nice guy off the pitch but, on the pitch but, as soon as he plays better players or a better team on it, he just resorts to kicking them. The world cup proved that. Despite that. he's 33 years old and will want at least a 2 year contact. I think he's better than what we have (poulsen especially) but, I'm not convinced he will be taking the team forward. Mainly due to his age. I think we'd be better off focusing on a striker, winger and left back in this transfer window If we want another centre midfielder, we should buy for the future.

This report is on the mail online website, reporting on the suarez deal, saying his arrival is imminent! ! heres the report, done at 12:15pm today
Kenny Dalglish is closing in on a deal to make Luis Suarez his first signing at Liverpool.
Reds owner John Henry met with the Ajax striker's agent in London on Tuesday night as talks accelerated over the proposed deal
Henry dined with agent Pere Guardiola - the brother of Barcelona boss Pep - as Liverpool move in on their No 1 January target.
Suarez's imminent arrival will relieve the burden on Fernando Torres, who has struggled for goals and form during the club's woeful season.
Talks: John Henry with his wife Linda in London on Tuesday night
Flop forward Ryan Babel is also on his way out of Anfield - with Ajax and Hoffenheim battling it out or his signature.
Uruguay striker Suarez fancies a move to Merseyside as there are plenty of Spanish speakers in the Reds dressing room.
Tottenham are also interested in Suarez but Liverpool the head of the queue.
The Dutch giants want around £27million for the player but he is expected to leave for a much lower figure.
Liverpool believe £15m is a much more realistic figure for Suarez and Babel could be involved as a makeweight if he snubs a £5.9m switch to Hoffenheim.
Dalglish, who took over from Roy Hodgson earlier this month, has inherited a weak squad at Anfield and is keen for reinforcements.
Henry and his wife Linda spent the evening at San Carlo restaurant in London after talks with Guardiola. Damien Comolli, Liverpool's director of football strategy, was also in the capital.

Just a thought but I keep seeing the sentence '“Suárez would like to continue here as a ‘super club' is not coming for him. He trains very well and feels settled. So far I have not worried about it. When I talk to Suarez, he says he wants to stay”
Well he would say he wants to stay. If he says he wants to leave he needs to hand in a transfer request and then he'll lose out of monies owed to him from Ajax when he leaves and joins a new club.
Or am I wrong? Think we just need to chill about the Suarez siutation and hope that FSG decide to splash the cash

A left winger will no longer be signed in the transfer window. Instead, having impressed all year, the young suso will be brought into the squad and will make his debut against wolves. A striker will be signed today! Watch this space
Not a bad shout about suso. Just read on LFC website that suso has been training with senior squad. And will more than likely be travelling with the squad to wolves to give him the experience

Henry meets Suarez agent
Written by Darren Phillips
Wednesday, 19 January 2011 14:04
Speculation that Luis Suarez could be making his way to Liverpool over the next few days intensified after it was revealed John W Henry met with the player's agent on Tuesday evening.
The Reds' principal owner's wife was also present at a dinner with the Uruguayan's agent Pere Guardiola held at a San Carlo restaurant in London.
Though Ajax have previously intimated only an "absurd" fee would see them part with the 23-year-old a more modest valuation of £15 million is expected to be enough for the Dutch club.

Liverpool's number one January transfer target - Ajax forward Luis Suarez, looks set to arrive at Anfield after Reds owner John Henry dined with his agent Pere Guardiola on Tuesday night.
Guardiola was snapped with Henry and his wife Linda at London's San Carlo restaurant suggesting a deal could be done and announced within a matter of days.
The Suarez deal appeared to be off yesterday after it was revealed an offer had been received from Bundesliga outfit 1899 Hoffenheim for Ryan Babel .
Babel looked to be a key part of the deal and was quoted as saying he'd even take a pay cut to return back to his old club Ajax after transferring to Liverpool in 2007.
Valued at a reported £27m by his Dutch club Uruguayan Suarez is likely to come to Merseyside for £15m, however Babel's estimated worth of £5.7m would have softened the deal if he went the other way.
Manager Kenny Dalglish has noted that Fernando Torres is in desperate need of a strike partner and 23-year-old Suarez would offer the perfect support.
A stellar World Cup in South Africa saw Suarez's profile skyrocket after he snared three goals and helped guide Uruguay to the semi-finals.

Hi TBAGS
What does the T stand for - TRASH'? That is what you are talking - sorry!
I'll be glad when the Transfer Window is closed - then we won't have to read all this garbage until the next one. Thet should be done away with anyway - they are artificial and lead to a lot more transfers than necessary.

Ajax manager Frank De Boer has played down Liverpool's chances of signing their striker Luis Suarez after stating that no “super club” has come in for the player:
“Suárez would like to continue here as a ‘super club' is not coming for him. He trains very well and feels settled. So far I have not worried about it. When I talk to Suarez, he says he wants to stay”
How old is this artical. Swore read this a couple of weeks ago. Original posts please.
By the way I don't think we will sign Suárez. We need a link up player not a goal scorer. Dalglish last time signed Beardsley, a link man, and I think he'll go down the same way. If he's to sign a goal scorer it will be one for the future who could stand in and do a job while Torres is rested or injured. Wide players are priority both midfield and defence.

Suarez not coming yet. JWH sees him as a too bigger risk and he's goose anyway.
DC is encouraging JWH to sign Negredo from Spain instead although with no meeting arranged yet it looks unlikely before the window closes.
Torres to leave in the summer with Reina following him as only about £30m available to spend plus player sale proceeds and neither player is convinced about the long term future of the club because of Dalglish's 'temporary' appointment.
Babel loan to Ajax then Suarez to come in summer.
Camoranesi a possibility before the window closes though?
TBAGS
Amazing isn't it, no matter how many times the editors say it nobody listens to them. There is no set transfer budget so where did you get £30m from. Also DC did say no transfers would be made without KK okaying them. Get your facts straight mate.

Luiz Suarez is on the verge of moving to Liverpool, according to reports.
The Daily Mail claims that 'Reds owner John Henry met with the Ajax striker's agent in London on Tuesday night as talks accelerated over the proposed deal.
'Henry dined with agent Pere Guardiola - the brother of Barcelona boss Pep - as Liverpool move in on their No 1 January target.'
The deal is being described as 'imminent', with the Mail announcing 'Uruguay striker Suarez fancies a move to Merseyside as there are plenty of Spanish speakers in the Reds dressing room.'
Tottenham are also believed to have an interest in Suarez but Liverpool seem poised to win the race for his signature.

“Such an amount would be welcomed by any Dutch club.”

Hey ed, is it me or is it cringe-worthy listening to Gerrard waxing lyrical about Kenny and wanting him to stay on permanently? I love and share his sentiments, but it doesn't sit well with me, particularly given how hard he pushed for Hodgson.
DownUnderRed.
{Editor Note: Annoying if you ask me. The captain is entitled to his opinion but Gerrard has too much influence on these types of decisions and he thinks he's bigger than Liverpool.}
Yet another example of one of the ed's opinions being accepted as fact.
Can anyone find evidence that Gerrard pushed for Hodgson? I personally think he would have preferred Kenny to be appointed in the summer.
We all know Gerrard had fell out with Rafa but he wasn't alone.
Gerrard is our captain and best player but if he thought he was bigger than Liverpool he would have left.
Gerrard and Carra are our leaders on the pitch and it is just as well we have them as we have too many shrinking violets. That is why we now have a goalkeeper as stand in skipper.

You have to shake your head at the transfer windows and wonder why the hell it operates like this.
Fans look at the impending opening of a transfer window and start getting excited about who we'll sign etc. etc. There is nothing more exciting than welcoming new players, especially top class ones.
Being a fan of LFC, we are privileged to be able to support a club that can give us this excitement. One of the reasons we hated H&G is that they clearly took that away from us.
We don't want 7 signings in and 6 out (well some do) but every SUMMER transfer window you want to see at least two quality players coming in to lick your lips in anticipation of a great season ahead.
If you're looking for the same impact in the winter window then this means we're having a shocker of a season and the excitement or desperation heightens, exactly what we appear to be going through at the moment.
However i struggle to see why clubs do not do business at the beginning of any window, yet you may as well write off the first 20 days in January as nothing happens. It seems from the last 5 or 6 days of the month things start hotting up as if someone has stuck a bloody enema up the arse of the transfer window!
We are watching and waiting to see what exactly NESV will do. The worst two attributes you could have as a supporter. There is an underlying fear in many fans that NESV are the same as H&G and as much as they hate to think so negatively we've been bamboozled by americans the first time round and twice bitten as they say.
Therefore i get the sense from many fans they are willing the owners to come up with a 'Torres style' signing so that a huge intake of breath could be had and a smile that says 'Great they do what they say they will do, we're now in safe hands'.
The fact that nothing has happened has actually added to the fans' desperation and is eating away at their frail nerves, leading to outbursts and pangs of anger.
There are many, many LFC fans wound tighter than a coil and they need a release urgently, otherwise anger at the position we find ourselves in on the field will be (if it isn't already) portrayed to the players with every bad pass, wayward shot and mistake.
If you post 'trust them, relax' it'll only serve to wind them up even more. We have no evidence that NESV are like or unlike H&G other than to look at the baseball team.
I'm sure everyone can sense the urgency/ desperation you name it in the fans, and i'm sure everyone would be content with just one quality signing, a warnock (God forbid no) here or there ain't going to quell the issues and neither will fans want to wait until the summer. I don't actually think they could, they'll internally combust by April!
So the workings of the windows are not doing our fans any favours at the moment other than make us look like rabid, salivating, mad dogs.
In the words of Michael Winner 'Just calm down dears, calm down' and look at the glass as half full. it'll be good for your health and anger management issues!

Looks like we will be signing a winger and a striker at least this window which is good news no matter no what IMO. Fresh faces at and something to prove is always good to some extent, look at the Blackpool lads for instance but I firmly believe only quality young players will be signed so can't wait to find out who. Still a long way to go though as we have lost 2 world class midfielders in Alonso and Mascherano over recent years and not replaced them and probably never replaced Hyypia sufficiently either, I have faith we will be challenging next season. top 6 this season no worries lads.
Sorry no rumours ED's but I cannot find anything out that isn't in the media which Im seeing as a positive thing.

Sport.co.uk can confirm that meetings have been scheduled with a number of top European clubs next week at the AFC Asian Cup in Qatar with representatives from the Premier League trio of Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa expected in the Gulf state.
The Japanese international scored his nations 1000th international goal in the2-1 win against Syria, with the archipelago set to play hosts Qatar in the Quarter Finals.
Liverpool are considered to the favourites to land Honda with Kenny Dalglish and Director of football Strategy Damien Comolli keen on the frontman, while Arsenal scouts and Aston Villa representatives are also present in Qatar with both club manager's fans of the forward, although Arsene Wenger and Gerard Houllier could baulk at the price-tag of the forward. AC Milan have also been tracking Honda since the World Cup last summer.
The player's representative confirmed to Sport.co.uk that meetings were scheduled for next week, where Honda's future would be concluded.
“Several clubs have confirmed their interest.” Kees Pleogsma told Sport.co.uk.
“My son is going to Qatar tomorrow to have a number of meetings. But, we will have to wait and see who is seriously interested in Keisuke (Honda). You never know.
“Time is going fast in the window. I really hope something can happen, but I don't know. As I said my son has a number of meetings, but so far nothing is concrete, we must wait and see.”
Honda has been considering his future at CSKA Moscow after it emerged in 2010 that the club were considering cashing in on either Alan Dzagoev or the Japanese international, with Honda angling for a move to Europe with Arsenal, Liverpool, and AC Milan the confirmed suitors following an impressive World Cup.
The 24-year-old CSKA Moscow striker has been subject of intense speculation since his successful World Cup campaign with Japan although thus far no formal bids have been launched, with only interest confirmed by a number of clubs. However the player's future looks finally set to be decided by next week.
The Japanese international started his career at Gamba Osaka, the same club as former Arsenal player Junichi Inamoto, before moving onto Nagoya Grampus Eight, the club from whom Arsene Wenger joined the Gunners in 1996.

I am slightly concerned why John Henry seems to mention following the transfer 'Arsenal' model, in that they never spend highly, and recruit and nurture youngsters for their team.
I too would like to follow this model in EXACTLY the same way that is: buiding a huge new stadium and then nurture young talent whilst you are paying off the debt of the stadium. I am sure once the Emirates is paid off that Arsenal will be splashing the cash.
Ed (didn't they spend 20 million in January on Michael York lookalike, Arshavin? Or was it summer?)
My personal feelings are that Suarez is a smokescreen. I think Liverpool are back to the days of old keeping it behind the closed doors. Aguero instead and another surprise aquisition in midfield.
I'd just like to add that from a Chairman who created the comedy classics Mork & Mindy, Taxi, Soap etc. that I am not finding this particular episode very funny YET.

I think it is time that all Liverpool supporters are realistic. We cannot expect a quick fix, nor can we expect our new owners to come in and invest huge sums of money into a squad that has already had so much investment already, albeit poorly. Add to that the fact that the king is, at the moment, a temporary replacement as Liverpool manager and I think the owners are justified in being cautious. That said I would be foolish to say that our squad is at a high enough quality level as things stand now. However as I see it the players are the ones we should be looking at to raise their games, they are paid thousands every week, amounts of money that the normal man on the street can only ever dream of. When the Lucas' and Poulsen's of our squad were bought in someone somewhere must have seen some talent, some gift that would warrent the expense. In other words these players that are not performing now have done at some point, somewhere and the question has to be asked as to if they understand the honour that has been given to them in playing for a team like Liverpool. The should be proud to wear the shirt, ready to raise their games and prepared to win at any cost. These players are too spoilt, its time for them to give back to the thousands who turn up at home and away. We should demand it of them, after all we pay their wages. We have enough players in our squad to be able to beat the likes of Blackpool and West Brom - with no disrespect to those teams. Why is it acceptable that this is not the case all oft he sudden? KK Should bring in new blood from the reserves, hungry to make an impact, hungry for success, hungry to earn the respect of the fans. Will we sign anyone this window? Maybe. . Should we have to? No
its not the fact that NESV have not yet invested, but if they arnt why not come out and say some bull s* t like we are happy with the squad or somthing, and we can all move on.

Hi ed, i think its finaly happening! . . this is from the daily mail;. . .
. . .Liverpool ramp up bid to land Luis Suarez as John Henry holds talks with striker's agent. . Kenny Dalglish is closing in on a deal to make Luis Suarez his first signing at Liverpool.
Reds owner John Henry met with the Ajax striker's agent in London on Tuesday night as talks accelerated over the proposed deal. . Henry dined with agent Pere Guardiola - the brother of Barcelona boss Pep - as Liverpool move in on their No 1 January target.
Suarez's imminent arrival will relieve the burden on Fernando Torres, who has struggled for goals and form during the club's woeful season.Henry and his wife Linda spent the evening at San Carlo restaurant in London after talks with Guardiola. Damien Comolli, Liverpool's director of football strategy, was also in the capital. . .
. . .come on now, that's a lot of info for a made up rumour isn't? . . Why would anyone think that a national paper would make this up?!. .You should be happy rather then sceptical!

If fans think we should just have a team full of Messi's then they haven't got a clue. Kuyt is frustrating a lot of the time. .but his comittment to the Reds is amazing. he would give his Liver or possibly one of his Kidneys for the club.
He pops up with important goals and should have our respect. Don't forget he is a striker who has been forced to play right midfield his entire Liverpool career (odd exceptions playing upfront. .don't be padantic!)
Slag off the players that don't pull their weight. .but when a guy is busting his gut for the cause get off his back.
- - - - - - - -
I agree with the above! For those of you that get to watch the mighty Redmen, Kuyt busts his guts for Liverpool! You'll see him attacking down the right wing then seconds later clearing up in defence. Dirk is fit to wear the red shirt.! !

Pool paying Comoli to seek out players but Spurs getting the benefit? Perhaps it's just a Coincidence as there are only so many good players out there and guess Spurs doing their own homework too. . .

How do we all know that Kenny has been pushing for Turan for a while? Who did he he actually say this to? I think Kenny keeps his cards close to his chest.
This is a classic example of someone starting a rumour and now everyone believes it to be true.
I've asked this before but has anyone on this site actually seen Turan play? No? Well why do you all want us to sign him?

{editor: Kenny tried to get Rafa and Roy to sign Turan. To answer your question I have seen Arda play, he is a class winger.}
That's an interesting point which you didn't really answer ed. Have you got any proof that Kenny likes Arda? I've never seen a quote or even a report about it

Ed - just heard a rumour that there are rumours about an unnamed player on a rumour site. It appears the rumour about that rumour was started by a mate of a mate of a mate of his who works at the club. He works in the accounts department and as there are only two of them in there, I have to be discreet so they don't know it came from that department. Well he said he had heard a rumour about a rumour that was told to him by a mate of a mate who knows one of the players and he said, that he was driving past Melwood last night about midnight in the dark, wearing sunglasses and with a black hood over his head and he saw Lionel Messi with his agent talking to KK. Now I know it's only a rumour about this rumour, but the rumour is, that this rumour is more a rumour than a real rumour. Trust me - I know people who know people who have heard rumours about this rumour and they say itz the truth. You'll see. I have not been wrong on rumours before and my mate who goes out with a girl who once went out with a mate of a mate who knows KK's uncle's dogwwalker, said that it was more than a rumour. Remember where you heard it first!

I really hope the new owners don't look at this site, because if they saw what a bunch of whinging un greatfull sh*ep that post on here they may think that all Liverpool fans are like this. These people are business people and with that in mind they know that they will only make money in a successful club, therefore if they feel money needs to be spent they will. Do you really want to be run like Spurs and Villa who spout there mouth off to who they want to sign then spend over the odds on the players. Signings will happen, but they will be right for the club and not knee jerk reaction signings that you are all shouting about! and probably have never really seen playing about from on Youtube! If we spent £20million on someone and he fails you would all be saying buy prem players, look at how much Maure have wasted on these in the past! Its time to give the youngsters a chance to see if they can step up to the plate instead of buying mediocre. Thankyou and Goodnight

Everyone is harping on about Suarez's goal scoring record in Holland but I am not convinced! Remember prior to Kuyt signing, he was banging the goals in for Feyenoord, also prior to Babel arriving he was banging the goals in for Ajax
My point is, lets not get too overexcited about Suarez, the Dutch league is very similar to the Scottish league and we don't see offers on the table from top clubs for Kenny Miller! !
18m+ for Suarez is too much, we should go the extra 10m + Maxi + Jovanavic + Lucas + Konchesky etc and try to land Aguero

2 this guy
I'd just like to start by saying great site ed, on every day for the last 3 transfer windows. This is my 1st post and was wondering if anyone knew why kun aguaro was'nt in the athletico squad for monday nites match, something in this or just an injury? I'd love to see him up front with torres as i have watched a lot of him over the last few years and think he would be a better signing than suarez who equally is a good player and would do well but aguaro has the pace, strength and skil to do better in the prem, if we get suarez i won't complain as we need a partner for torres who can lift the burdon of scoring goals and his record in holland suggests he can do this but i think again its down to money as aguaro would cost at least 10m more.
comment
aguero signed a new contract. He got's pace and skill. But he is not a finisher like suarez. And I think he is 2 small (5 ft 7) for the PL. Suarez is 5 ft 11.The only "bad" thing about suarez is that he is a diver.

I think everyone gets frustrated in transfer window, but If NESV operate how they have said they operate then I think we can expect nothing less. Under H&G the level of professionalism was nonexistent but NESV have come in and acted how we Owners should act. They have said all the right things and now that they have a chance to back up there words in their first transfer window. I would be surprised if we didn't sign anyone but I do believe they will not be held to ransom or pushed about when it comes to money matters, thankfully. I know clubs have a right to ask what they want for players, especially one they want to keep, however buyers also have the right to not pay well over the odds, were not Real Madrid. I hope we finally get some players that we deserve and I hope NESV continue to operate in silence it makes the club look a lot better and allot more dignified.

Just a thought on all the speculation. With Babel's departure imminent and no real sign of a replacement other than potential gossip does any one else think that KK will give the likes of Danny P and Suso and Amoo a bit more of a chance. I still think we will land 2 or 3 players but I wonder if Kenny feels that if he uses some of the youth he can show that he's the right man for the job FT and not need 40 mil every transfer window. I think NESV will spend if neccessary ie suarez or a world class player becomes available but I can't see continuous investment in the squad as its unsustainable.
If KK can show with a couple of signings and some of the youngsters that we can compete and finish strong he'll have to be a shoe in for the job. Any other manager will want to spend to buy there own type of players which could be seen as a bit of a gamble.

Commolli always said that most business would be done at the end of the transfer window. Be patient everyone, and keep the faith!
REASON: If we pay top dollar for someone too early, it will have an effect on the fees we pay for everyone else. If selling clubs suddenly see that Liverpool are back in the business of buying seriously, agents and clubs will want their fill.
Also, the later in the window you leave it, the harder you can drive a bargain. This can work the other way round as well if the selling club have to buy a replacement or don't necessarily want/ need to sell, so it is risky but unltimately its the game that has to be played.
NESV and Commolli don't want to show LFC's hand too early. Its brinksmanship and personally I think its great. Frustrating for us fans who want instant results, but we have new owners and management now. We need to keep our faitn in them. Its the Liverpool way after all!

Someone the other day referred back to the team circa '89. I was thinking the same, with the players we are linked with all being wide players or players who play off the front man (a position Dalglish knows better than anybody), is KD going to try and repilcate the sort of swaggering, swashbuckling football that his original side played. Are we going to see almost like-for-like replacements for Barnes, Beardsley & Molby? If so, we definitely need a Souness/ McMahon type charachter too- preferrably Souness.
Or are we going to see more of the duds he signed towards the end of his first stint?
19 Jan 2011 10:47:06
Liverpool Rumours
Every transfer window we spend ample time at our desks or in our homes, typing about who Liverpool should sign or who we are gna sign.
We should all come to the realisation that nobody knows who we will get, especially not the editors.
Rumours are flying around about Suarez, just as they used too about David Villa, Sergio Aguero etc.
I too knew someone who reckoned they had sources on the inside and at one time I had a firm belief we were going to sign Arda Turan. However, it turned out to be untrue.
Liverpool fans, we all need to understand this; its only going to get worse before it gets better. Also, we need to strengthen rapidly, as there are 5 teams who are stronger than us on paper and on the pitch, they are all always interested in strengthening, whilst we have people like Damien Comolli (Who gets it wrong more times than he gets it right, check his background of flops and successes) trying to help us decide who will be best to sign. Even the stupidest of people can see what our team needs, why is it NESV cant. Full power over transfers should be given to King Kenny and also the players should be able to give suggestions as to who would benefit our team. Suarez top player, but he is very slow. I personally don't think he will last in the Premiership otherwise someone else with money + pulling power would have snapped him up. Honda rumour has gone quiet but I hope we bring in him and Turan.
Ed post this on Rumours site please, as my last two ones didn't get posted.

Liverpool have bid for Suarez, he has agreed terms and wants to come. The clubs are just playing who blinks first at the minute over the price. It suits Liverpool to wait a little while because he still has 3 games of his ban to go (2 after tonights game with Feyenoord). Ajax are publically listed so have a duty to their shareholders to get the best price possible. It go to the wire and Ajax are probably hoping that Spurs get involved to push the price nearer where they want it.

Dutch media reckon we made 15m euro bid for Suarez and not Ajax are playing the hardball to see how far they can push Liverpool. Word is the player is up for it, but Ajax will not settle for less than 20 mil euro's. They were interested in Babel, as was he interested in returning - but if we sell him to hoffenhiem for 7.5 then we could afford to up to 20 mill?
See papers also reckon we'll turn our attentions to Lukaku - he ain't going to move until the summer, and Chelski is his supposed preference. He is still at school on Belgium, is 17, and wants to finish his diploma which is a big thing here. If you don't get that you're seen as a bit of a dumbass regardless of what you do - silly but that would probably factor into his reasoning.
==============
Can I just ask why is it "silly" that a young player wants to be educated?
First of all, an education is a good foundation for a post playing career in management (or even the media - although you wouldn't think so with all of the 'dumbass' ex-footballer presenters there are - anyone ever heard Jamie Redknapp say anything thought provoking?).
Secondly, I would much rather sign players for Liverpool if they had an education as it at least shows commitment and an ability to learn - surely this would make for a better player all round.

I too like some others, feel theres a little too much noise surrounding the Suarez rumours. I may well be wrong but i just think its not how Liverpool intends to do their business from now on.
Just for the doubters, don't panic. KK knows what he likes and already coming into the job he will have known his first choice XI and exactly where he'd strengthen the side. Any other caretaker manager would struggle to convince the owners to shell out big money on a player but Kenny is the exception. He knows Liverpool and is better qualified than anyone to know the type of player this side needs. I would expect him to move for Turan and possibly someone like Toivonen to play with Torres.
Also expect to see more game time for Spearing. . Whilst KK's sides have played attacking football, he likes a bit of bite in his midfield (ala Steve McMahon, David Batty) and Spearing certainly would provide that even if his ability isn't as great as other prospects. Alternatively, he may well drop Gerrard a little further back to drive us on from midfield, particularly if attacking reinforcements arrive in January.
I'd love to see Turan or possibly Honda join as well as a striker. I'd also like to see a top class defender arrive with Skrtel moving in the other direction but will probably have to wait til the summer for that one!
Keep the faith!

It p1$$e$ me right off with (so called) fans slagging off our players. E.g., Kuyt is Cr@p. Er. .no he's not. (good comeback eh?)
If fans think we should just have a team full of Messi's then they haven't got a clue. Kuyt is frustrating a lot of the time. .but his comittment to the Reds is amazing. he would give his Liver or possibly one of his Kidneys for the club.
He pops up with important goals and should have our respect. Don't forget he is a striker who has been forced to play right midfield his entire Liverpool career (odd exceptions playing upfront. .don't be padantic!)
Slag off the players that don't pull their weight. .but when a guy is busting his gut for the cause get off his back.

I agree with the above! For those of you that get to watch the mighty Redmen, Kuyt busts his guts for Liverpool! You'll see him attacking down the right wing then seconds later clearing up in defence. Dirk is fit to wear the red shirt.! !

Ed just to clear something up. Will Comolli and Kenny already have bid for players and Henry has just flown in to sign them off as it were? Or has Henry flown in to have a look at who they want with them, without making contact yet?
ToonRed
{Editor's Note: I would suspect that Dalglish and Comolli have had reports prepared on several players that they believe can improve the team. These reports will then be presented to the board and a joint decision taken as to whether or not the club makes an approach for the players to see if they might be available.}

The Suarez rumours haven't stopped yet.
I've read a couple of reports that seem to suggest that he's confident that he'll sign within the next few days.
Also, Ajax would be hard pushed to refuse a bid of around 18M Euros (15M GBP) - so, if Babel were to go in the same deal, we could probably get that down to around 10M GBP.
If this is possible, I say we should take it.
I'm still hopeful that we can do a deal over Warnock, too.
Houllier has said that there's no chance of Young or Downing leaving, however.

In real terms would love to see Suraez at LFC but in my opinion won't happen too much and They've not said Kenny's the Main man yet that will come though.

I do hope he joins but let's wait and see

Just because we have accepted a bid from Hoffenheim for Babel does not mean we will sell him to them. We know for a fact that Babel would prefer a move back to Ajax which could pave the way for Suarez to come to Anfield. I think he'd choose us over Spurs as we are Spanish speaking.

Sergio Ramos has reportedly had a major fall out with Christiano Ronaldo and is looking to leave Real Madrid as soon as he can. This World Class defender should surely be regarded as possible signing. With a small Spanish contingent still at Liverpool and what seems to be the imminent arrival of Luis Suarez, surely Ramos would prefer a move to Liverpool. Ramos is able to play at both right back, and centre back. A definate purchase! ¿No?

Just seen on Goal.com that Simao has signed for Besiktas for 900k
Another player who could of been a good signing even a 18 month contract could of worked

Simao is too old now, not the awnser, yeah he would probalbly imrove the squad in the short term but I think we need to look at someone whos going to perform for us over the next couple of years and grow into the team rather than out of it.

Suarez deal is off, Ajax were asking for 24.5m so expect a shock move for Andy carrol for 18 m plus ngog and cole on loan. Kk likes his work rate and thinks him and Torres can work plus he is English. Also downing is a smoke screen for Adam Johnson 15m. Also Leighton baines will be the new left back 10m. Ed do you think these will be good signings?
{editor: They would be, if they happened. I would prefer Llorente to Andy Carrol, there is less baggage with Llorente.}

Life long Liverpool fan FANTASTIC site but I think the most common thing people are missing out on is if we don't buy a Playmaker in the middle of the park no good in buying wingers and strikers if we can't give them a good ball.Our passing in the last third of the pitch is a main concern for us.

Morning all, with the new arival of Darren Bent their is a high chance of the club needing to sell to balance the transfer budget. Their is a 50/ 50 chance that liverpool are going to sign either striker Heskey or left midfielder Ashley Young. Hesky will only be a target if the Luis Suárez deal falls through

What half decent footballer with half a brain is going to join us at the moment.what can we offer as a club,
top wages (no)
challenging for the title (no)
chamions league (no)
decent cup run (no)
playing with quality players (no)
owners who are going to invest loads of money (no)
the reality is that the club has gone backwards over the last 3 years and it is going to take longer than that to get back if we ever do get back.this has got to be one of the worst run clubs in the premiership.average players bleeding the club dry on mega wages, buying players for inflated fees and selling them on at a big loss (ryan babel for example)
no wonder the club is now in the mess we find it in.oh i almost forgot what about the £13 million on 2 managers in 6 months.
nesv need to adress these issues straight away but i don't think even they realised what a shambles the club is really in and it is only now they are beginning to realise the size of the task to get this club moving forward again.dont be surprised if they steady the ship over the next twelve months and then sell us on to somebody with a much bigger wallet than they have that's if they can find a buyer
because they were not exactly queing up to buy us last year because every investor realises the club is in such a mess and the fans need to realise this and stop dreaming about all these superstar players that are going to join this january.no big signing is coming only players like warnock, wright phillips, downing type players im afraid.

There is far too much attention being placed on suarez. But at the price being mentioned it is such a gamble. Yes he is banging in goals, in holland, but so did Kuyt and we now use him as a winger! And yes he had a good world cup. . but so did diouf and i'm sure we all remember what a spectacular waste of time he was. Especially as we got rid of Anelka in order to sign him! (Still makes me mad thinking about that). Anyway, my point is that if we do sign suarez then I fear our budget will not be sufficient enough to bring in the wide, pacey, creative players that we DESPERATELY need! Its clear that Kenny's prefered formation is 451 without the ball and 433 with it. As such what we need is a LW and a RW who have the quality to support and provide torres when we attack. Without these players all we will achieve in signing suarez is having two men up to who lack service, instead of just one. I'd be much happier if come the end of the transfer window we hav signed 2 wingers instead of suarez, or any other striker and I hope LFC and NESV feel the same way!

I think its a clear indication we have got a signing in the bag with Babel leaving. My guess would be Honda has already been agreed and will sign at end of Jan. All very quite on the Honda front. No one else being linked with him at the moment and I believe he will sign when Japan are out of the Asia Cup. We will also sign Warnock and a striker. Hopefully Toinavon or Suarez. Your thoughts Ed
ROYZERED
I agree with the Honda comment he is playing well in the AFC in fact he scored Japan's 1000th goal. I think we will hear more about this after Japan get knocked out or win the AFC, the final is on the 29th Jan so it doesn't leave much time, it will be interesting to watch and see!

"I BLAME MYSELF!"
This is mainly about matters not strictly related to LFC, but it does catch us in the net at times - talkSPORT, may addiction, irration and how it affects the wider aspects of sports reporting.
I find myself listening more to it than usual to Alan Brazil and his irritating partner Ronnie Irani. OK - it's my own fault for listening, but that shouldn't stop me from pointing out what I feel is wrong.
Nearly all professional players who become pundits then become weak and unable to 'have a go.' Brazil seems to call everyone 'pal' or 'good mate' and then speaks so highly of them before they are interviewed, that you know the difficult questions will never come up. He described matt Holland this monring (an old Ipswich player) as "beeing heard a lot on in the media these days. he has a great future." Why Alan? Because he is a mate of yours and it's a 'rub my back' business?
I have NEVER heard any current professional player ever having a go about another player when interviewed in the media . . although Robbie Savage is maybe edging towards that in his new role. So what is the point of asking them what they think of this player or that? You know they are going to say how 'great' or 'cool' or 'amazing' they are. What is the point?
Jeremy Paxman never gets that friendly with people he interviews as he realises it prevents him from asking the searching questions. Although as self-opinionated and obstinate as Adrian Durham is - a man who like Alan Hansen, always feels he has to have the last word - he did make a fist of savaging Graham Poll last night on refereeing decisions. (Trouble was, he refuses to accept when he is wrong and just verbally bullies the interviewees).
This is the problem with talkSPORT - it's rather like a tabloid version of The Mirror. They even have John Cross on in the mornings from the paper - a man who unbeleivably says, "Yeh, but no . ." to start every sentence - just like Vicky pollard! I thought he was making it up at first!
Football should be more about the real critics and not ex-pros interviewing and presenting. After all, what can ex-pros bring to the TV and radio that others can't? If they refuse to dig in and ask the awkward questions, refuse to shun the bonhomie/ old pals act, then how can we get deeper?
Finally, Steve Bruce!
I almost dropped my tea this morning when I heard him having a go at Darren Bent for not being loyal and leaving the club in the lurch. This from the manager who walked out of Huddersfield, Crystal Palace and Wigan?
Living in a world I don't want to be a part of.

My guess would be Toivonen, as he was another player that Kenny had pushed for in the past.}

People saying A.villa paying over the odds for bent. Remember we payed 20mill for Robbie Keane. spurs only want 3-6mill now. I bet he wished that he stayed now. He was second choice striker for us, and is 4th choice for spurs. He cost us the league really which a lot of people forget. But then the yanks may of needed the money for loan payments.

We will not buy all the players we think we are lonked with, it doesn't make business sense. I don't believe we will make any major signing now as our manager is not signed on a perm basis. if we get a new manager in the summer he will ant he own choice of player not someone else's. We will get player like Warnock on loan and will play Glen J as a right wing with Keely behind him. Maybe a loan deal for a striker too.
Hope I'm wrong though, we need a huge shuffle to our squad"
Damian Comolli is in charge of recruitment so if there are transfers to be made then they'll be made regardless of the manager.

If fans think we should just have a team full of Messi's then they haven't got a clue. Kuyt is frustrating a lot of the time. .but his comittment to the Reds is amazing. he would give his Liver or possibly one of his Kidneys for the club.
He pops up with important goals and should have our respect. Don't forget he is a striker who has been forced to play right midfield his entire Liverpool career (odd exceptions playing upfront. .don't be padantic!)
Slag off the players that don't pull their weight. .but when a guy is busting his gut for the cause get off his back.
Thats why he wants out in the summer if we don't get champions league football, , he ain't a winger he should be used as torres back up and that's it!

Liverpool Rumours
Well guys i think we may all be getting a little excited, i watch and wait for relevant information that might indicate a movement in the market but as usual people just pick up the press and post all the tabloid rumours.
We have to look at ourselves as a club and understand what players are thinking, we are steeped in history but are a shadow of the team we used to be, the heart and passion has gone from the club and therefore we do not need to look to overpriced overseas players but to the reserves and youth set up that will be the future of this club.
With the change in rules over spending (which i believe will be worked around by the bigger clubs) there will be a significant change in transfer situations and clubs will look more and more at bringing promising youth into their academies and promoting within.
With this in mind i don't see any big name signings in this or the summer window however an unexpected and unnamed player will be signed to assist KK with keeping the supporters happy. We must understand as a club that we are a long way behind four or five other teams and will probably not return to CL football for the next four or five years until things fully settle down in the club and the new transfer restrictions take full effect.
Personally i would like to see C.Wickham given a chance but this will be dependant on the price being quoted.
Difficult times are ahead for all at least we have a head start on them

Thank you ED - a man that thinks about football - you do not buy a player on what he did 5 or 6 years ago, you look mainly at consistency over the last 2 or 3 years also taking into account the team he plays for - which blows the 25% better statement out of the water.
Saurez does look to be quality, as Kuyt did - but to be honest does anyone really think he's coming to a struggling team - when teams fighting for a top 4 or better finish in the PL.

Babel is out! finally. only kidding. i wasnt the biggest fan of him but he was still a red. good luck to him and hope he can succeed club and international wise. suarez deal is in the papers alot, every paper just repeating what the other paper says. only thing different is the amounts, 18 million, 23 million, i think todays is 30 million. i think we need to replace babel, even though he didn't have the biggest impact. we need some1 with pace who can be a first 11 player or starts on the bench and comes on late 2nd half to play, like babel.

I wouldn't want a team like that. Ballottelli has said he wants to leave for AC Milan within 2 years, Tevez handed in a transfer request, there is a lot of unrest at that club. You can have 2 many stars, individuals who cause unrest and upset throughout the squad. What we need is a team, a squad of players all playing for each other, not themselves. Look at what Blackpool have done with a bit of team spirit and togetherness.

Turan and Honda on the wings would like a sanchz but don't see us getting him

The reds in decline.
Heard from a friend that we are not looking to sign any players and have sold babel to reduce the wage bill and to get some more money to pay wages to the likes of Poulsen, Konk and Joe Cole and Jova until the end of the season when we will be able to sell them for a bit more. . The owners want to give the kids a chance, play a younger team for a while. . make some stars and become a selling club. .only thing is. .non of them is quiet ready, and without quality players to learn from, the will only get worse and disappoint the fans and finally be ruined prospects being sold for a pittance
With the new spending laws coming in we have little time in which to buy long term players so guess what? we WONT be doing that. .
when we sell an attacking player (Babel) and then fail to buy ANYONE, despite the fact that of all teams we NEED SCORING PLAYERS. . it tells me one thing as a fan. .to get used to disappointment for a long time.
We are well and truly in decline and it will get MUCH worse before we even start playing stably. . Maybe some day we will come back into the higher echelons of European football but for at least the next five years we are going to be a mid-table team at best. . and who knows, former glories may NEVER be regained. .we just don't have people associated with the club who would be willing to go head-to-head with the rest of the top teams for top players, more fans and revenue. .the three things necessary for a big club.
I think the Americans will either sell in a few years for a bit of a profit or stay for a longer time, milking fans for all their worth before moving on from a mid-table club. .
As it is, i have not seen intent promised before. . and i think the King came out to defend the players and state that 'he doesn't have anyone in mind to buy' because he has been told so by the owners. . He sold Babel to maybe fund for downing or someone of similar limited ability. . but i doubt that very very much. . he sold babel because babel possible could not stand to warm the 'pool bench anymore. . I'd rather we had swapped with Wenger. . Walcott for babel in 2009-10.
we have fallen a long way to be linked with the likes of c.cole, huth and young etc when we have had great players express an interest in playing for us. .
So we have a complete set of failures of 28+ years, and other aging players of who the King wants to 'bring back'
Useless Joe Cole. . Please pack him off to west ham, we might even get enough back to pay-back for half the wages we wasted on him
out-of-his-depth Konchesky. . Anyone who will have him, please, he isn't even good enough for the prem league
Poulsen is possible the worst 'footballer' that has played for Liverpool. .may he never coach anyone i hope
and the owners are doing exactly what the majority of the fans want them to do to avoid what happened with the previous owners (read bas*&%ds)
I feel like this is the end for LFC. and maybe it always was. . maybe the Rafa period was just a delayed peak. . a last gasp. . a few good years. .and now we're the team which has not won the title in 20 years
Even to pull a Wenger or emulate barca, great young players must be bought for good money. . our prospects want to leave

First touch great
Shot great
Ability to go past a player
he can dribble .
and overall is just way better then kuyt. .
Only negative thing is that he might be to selfish in front of goal on occasions , and he loves to dive :)
But really people should stop looking at what he does wrong , but start looking what he can do for us . . because Leave aside the diving and some problems in the past (biting and cheating(which alot of players do on occassion) He is still a very nice , charming fella. And i would love to see him at our club , which would instantly bring a Quality burst in our team

Suarez will not be leaving for less than 30 million that's why liverpool will not sign him
AJAX WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT MUCH LESS THAN THAT AS SUAREZ WANTS OUT, IF THEY DONT THEN ARE STUCK WITH A PLAYER WHO DOESNT EVEN WANNA PLAY FOR THEM AND THEREFORE MAY NOT HAVE HIS HEART IN EVERY GAME

Lies m8 , Whatever happens suarez will be satisfied to stay with ajax , he loves the club , he loves the city and the people . he wouldn't mind staying till the summer , but he has pointed out that he would like a new challenge in his life. .
but he wouldn't be some temper kid who doesn't play whenever he doesn't get his way , like most footballers do.

Why are liverpool soooo slow with transfers, i mean come on its not hard to see whos good and who isnt, and it don't take more than 10-15 mins to pick up a phone and call a club up and say we r interested in ur player is he available, yep good we wanna buy how much u willing to let him go for, , , , , hmmm i was hoping for a little less than that, , ok we got a deal so when can we talk to this guy and his agent, ok great thnx, , u take now! it shouldnt take months to know whos good and who isn't and to pick up a phone and make enquiries make an offer negotiate for slightly less if u can if u cat if u want the guy pay unless its over the top price like 40 mill 50 mill and more! !

Ed, Liverpool aint gonna sign no marque signings any time some. Henry looks at Arsenal and admires the way they do business. . but Arsenal don't ever splash the cash on transfers.
The difference is that we are not Arsenal and that we need a pick-up asap to get us back in the european mix. Whilst Henry shops in Primark, all us reds will continue to suffer the broken promises.
arsenal made marquee young talent signings, nasri brilliant b4 he was bought and even better at arsenal, arshavin the same, chamakh the same, all 3 where marquee signings, some how they managed to get these guys cheap don't know how concidering how good they were

What is it with Liverpool trying to get players on the cheap? I don't want the club to be held for ransom, but sometimes you've just got to pay the asking price for good players. If we miss out signing Suarez because of a few million and Spurs get him instead I'll be livid.
If they ( nesv ) don't use there head now and spend wise they will be held to ransom for years clubs putting extra 5/ 10 mill on top just cos it LFC and they have money. Look at city now. Just cos clubs know they will pay clubs asking daft money that other clubs wouldn't pay, as Chelsea in that situation not so long ago.
Plus am starting to think Suarez could just be a smoke screen for other player not yet mentioned, but same time no one has come out to say yes Liverpool making steps to buy him which is the wY I expect nesv to work, it maybe just be fans have read into it. But in thr future I expect us to be buying without and rumour or leaks.

To the guy that said this about Suarez:
"As I said earlier, his scoring record is only *slightly* better than Kuyt's in Holland"
Kuyt - 149 Goals in 306 (League/ Cup/ Europe) Games at a ratio of 1 Goal every 2.1 Games. (In Holland)
Suarez - 129 Goals in 195 (League/ Cup/ Europe) Games at a ratio of 1 Goal every 1.51 Games (In Holland)
If my maths is correct, I make that a 25% difference in Suarez's favour?
*Significantly* better, wouldn't you agree?
Matt S - YNWA {ed's note - I think he was referring to Kuyt's time at a top team in Holland, he spent his early years at a very weak side, which Suarez hasn't

ive seen kuyts goals in dutch league alot where lucky, , kuyt has no pace which u need in the epl suarez does, kuyt had no skill or style, suarez does, , suarez is miles better than kuyt

Ed you say we don't have a CEO any ideas or thoughts on who may take that spot? and who would you like to see that spot? also what is comolli's offical role as i thought he was the guy who was going to be scouting out talent and deciding along with KK who came into and left the club? im confuzzled! {ed's note - Comolli can identify the talent but it needs a Chairman/ CEO to sign cheques etc. Personally I think David Dein might be a good choice, but only because he is the only one I can think of!}
David dein would be one of the signings of the decade if we were to get him, all arsenal players were badly affected wen he was let go. He has the respect of players and he gets his man aswell. Knows the business very very well if we could get him on board it will be 1 of the best teams in sport along with kk Steve, the ex Chelsea rent boy lol comoli. And owners.

i totally agree, i mean come on hes a brilliant striker that we need there isn't many available right now, so fck it pay the extra 5-10 mill, if we don't sign him now, come summer we won't sign any one good seriously only players we will attract if we don't have a player of suarez's calibre is gunna be c.cole, elmander, and other crap like them! then lfc will sink even further into the abyss, becoming another leeds united

Hi ed,
so what in your opinion can you see happening this transfer window & who do you think we could possibly get in for the wing's & a striker? esecially now villa have said both young & downing won't be sold & babel already looking likely to be gone & the whole suarez thing up in the air?
lfcscott {ed's note - I think we will move for Turan, I would be shocked if we didn't as we all know Kenny has been pushing for the club to sign him for a while. As for a striker, I have no idea, as far as I could find out Negredo was a Roy target, but I don't have a clue if Kenny wants him too. My guess would be Toivonen, as he was another player that Kenny had pushed for in the past.}
thanks for that ed! do you also think some fans could be worrying for nothing just because we havent signed anyone yet?because in all honesty for example i wouldn't of guessed villa were gonna pay that sort of money for bent! {ed's note - people are getting desperate for nothing, the club was in turmoil and it needed to sort out the manager before even considering moving for players. Without a CEO it makes it difficult to act quickly and decisively as well.}
why wait for a stupid ceo, john henry is the owner he can do it, tom werner is the chairman he can do it, they shouldnt be waiting to sign ppl while they wait for a damn stupid ceo, , , like ur the damn owwnnerrrs and chairman do it ur self u lazy fck*rs!

Forget transfers for a second. How good is it to have a manager we love and trust? I just saw a set of pictures of Kenny at the youth game from yesterday & he's just so passionate about the club and willing to give our young talent a chance. It's so refreshing. Whether you think Spearing was the right pick or not against Everton, it was great to see a young player get a chance in a big game. I think Suso is a bit green for the 1st team still but I expect Pacheco to get a few games to prepare him for next season where he has the potential to become a 1st team regular.
It's great to have our club back, new owners, the right manager, now we just need to inject some world class players and ship out some deadwood and we'll be back! Be patient and good things will happen. Forget what you read in the rags, we're back to doing it the Liverpool way, behind closed doors.

Regardless of who we sign, after watching dare i say it man s* tty, tonight we are going to be light yrs behind them, its not going to be any use at all us trying to buy cheap has been rejects from other clubs, we need world class players and we need them now, if we don't get them now we may as well fall into mediocrety and will be for years to come, s* ty didn't have dzeco or ballotteli on the pitch tonight and were still awesome, .its gonna be yrs b4 we can field a team like that, so come on nesv get your pennies out and show us you mean business, this last week tevez has been brill, i would defo swap him for torres any day of the week, look at his goal the other night, it was as good as any maradonas, i feel so pissed off that we are going to get all the other prems rejects cheap, and not get world class players that will catapult us the league, ive seen villa and spuds trying to get everyyone and we seem to be getting no bugger, we will just wait and see who we will get as other teams cast offs cheap,

Hi to whoever is still awake, I am very baffled by us not having signed anyone yet and the quietness that is killikng everyone, we all wouldn't mind if in the end all our waiting is fruitfur but as it seems we will not be signing SUAREZ a shame really thinking his style would have suited the prem. Hopefully KK being experienced as he is will not leave the club in this dire shortage of quality players. We are now back to looking at Lukaku. Come on hurry up good deals seem to be very sparse , and all clubs seem to be on their guard (except for mancity) to get the best deal and the cheapest possible.Fingers crossed everyone we are in for a quiet ride(let's hope not)

In all honesty we are desperate and i mean desperate for a quality striker and play 4 4 2 formation torres and suarez would do me just fine but just like me where getting abit desperate for signings torres needs help in reality terms we have 1 striker on his own ngog does not cut it either does kyut so theres just torres on his own trying to start and finish attacks on his own give this man a partner he deserves so like all lfc fans we would love to see suarez at anfield lets hope we can land this 1

I think it's absolutely brilliant that it's all quiet at Anfield. We were all pissed off with the public spats between the owners (H&G) and the manager (Rafa) and their public bickering over funds.
Now we've got silence for the 1st time in 3-4 years and yet some people are still moaning about NESV?
No one outside the club (except Macca) has got a clue what we are doing this window, not even the fans. I just think this is the best way to conduct all our buisness, in house.
