Ed, say if we were to get suarez or another stiker this window, would that rule out a top quality striker in the summer?

{Editor's Note: Would there be a need for another?}

We absolutely need at least 2 more good strikers.
All the top teams have 3 at least due to tactical changes & injuries & so on.
N'gog is not a top striker, Babel is going.
My choices would be Llorente & Aguero, if Torres has intentions to leave in the summer then get Suarez too.
For this window i'd like to get Llorente £15m, Turan £13m, Huth £8m & in a perfect world Eden Hazard £25m. Huth can cover central defensive & central defensive midfield positions & good in the air (as is Llorente) which can only be positive.
Thats £61m - We could sell Babel, Cole, Jovanovic & Soto to make up £15m so that's only £45m spent which is hopefully available for suitable players anyhow. Come on Mr. Henry - Back the King!
If not we will stay mid table at best for quite some time.

{Editor's Note: Gervinho is looking like the summer target.}

I could handle that, he's powerfully built which should suit the PL but not so sure about his delivery of a cross.
Ed, are you one of the Liverpool fans?
If so (or even if not), can you not see how weak we are in term of proven goalscorers?
When we were at the top we had Aldo, Rushie, Barnes & Beardsley who chipped in big time, then Rosenthal came in. In our cup treble season we had God, Owen, Heskey, Litmanen, Barmby & other attacking goalscorers. All we have now is Torres when he's on form / interested, Kuyt who is very hit n miss (no intentional pun), N'gog who is not good enough & Gerrard who has not been the same player the past 2 seasons.
Is it just me that sees this?
There were times the past few seasons where we dominate games & create numerous chances but don't score then concede from a corner or something.
Why oh why are / have our most recent managers not addressed this (lack of natural finishers)?
You can't win games if you don't score.
Attacking players (Wingers & Forwards) should be our priority right now not players like Adam who is a squad player at best - i just don't get it.
Ed? Your thoughts?
Sorry for the long post, it's something that i've been saying for years now. Probably since Crouch left.
Is it just my imagination Ed?
Cheers,
Kev.

{Editor's Note: An interesting thought occurred to me earlier about the number of goals being scored, I need to check but I reckon Liverpool did much better playing a more traditional 4-4-2. THis of course supports your position. The problem is - it is tough to keep three let alone four "first choice" strikers happy - Spurs and Manchester City have had that problem recently and in the past both Chelsea and Manchester United have had a similar problem. But I give you Gervinho in the summer and I am sure he will be pleased to move to Liverpool.}

Does anyone think spurs are getting a bit carried away with this talk of new stadium and big transfer fees.if harry takes the england job and they fall out of europe they could do a leeds or newcastle.just been thinkin about this, what you reckon ed?

{Editor's Note: They have been spending money at an alarming rate for some years and have an incredible throughput of players. I think they will struggle through regardless - but have somehow managed to go from under performing to over performing in a year.}

{Editor's Note: It is negotiation - but Comolli does not seem to have the hang of it - was it "incoherent" the Blackpool manager called him. You may also recall that you were warned about Comolli as well.}

Hi Ed, I know we've had this before, but any chance you could elaborate a little on your thoughts/ opinions re Comolli? You've been suspicious of him from the start (if it was you), and have hinted that he's been something of a negative influence everywhere he's been. If this is the case, under what circumstances do you think he was hired by NESV? Surely they would have done their "due dilligence" on a man set to have a massive say in club business? Henry and Werner seem a savvy enough pair, so surely Comolli hasn't simply hoodwinked them with clever talk at his interview (particularly as one of the implications is that he is a poor negotiator). It just doesn't add up for me that he's a bit of a shyster who has conned people to give him such important positions. Cheers for your input and time.

I am starting to panic ed, s, we need some quality signings we can't be blinded by one good performance against a team in the relegation zone, and theres too many average players in our squad, do you think we will be surprised with a star quality signing under the radar like meireles?and who out of this lot can you see us signing?

Luis Suarez signing will be confirmed on Tuesday 25th January. He will wear the vacant number 11 shirt. This signing will shortly be followed by the arrival of Blackpool midfielder Charlie Adam, he will wear the number 20 shirt that was previously worn by Mascherano. Ryan Babel will be sold to Hoffenheim on 25/ 1/ 2011. The final transfer activity will be a move for Galatasary captiain Arda Turan towards the end of the January transfer window, if the bid fails a last ditch attemp will be made for Aston Villa winger Ashley Young. Says my source! An he's pretty reliable!

To the guy that said this:

Ryan (Babel) has been told not to hang on any longer for ajax the deal for suarez must have collapsed.

What is your source?

Did it cross your mind that we are allegedly short by around $5 to $6Mil for Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz?

Meaning selling Ryan Babel to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim could make up for those additional funds that Ajax are asking for?

As we all know now Ryan Babel has agreed terms with Hoffenheim. Now question that springs to mind is why the delay? Now we also know he was hoping for an Ajax move back home and he thought / hoped that was on the cards with the Suaraz deal. But now that is not the case, this is why The King said this afternoon he's not going. The chairman of Hoffenheim was quoted on thurs last week saying Babel would let them know next week. This may of appended, Ajax have said no to Babel (no value / not who they want) Cash only for Suaraz and we could not afford it untill Babel had gone. And this is way KK was a little unsure of Ryan's situtation. But it does seem as they have lined something up. I'm just unsure as if Comoili is still in Amsterdam or not. Do u know ed? Also who is in for Jovanovic (6 mill)

I can not see the sense in buying Charlie Adam, we have too many CMs, where would he play?
Unless we are to offload one of Poulsen/ Lucas or both?

He is not a defensive midfielder, more of a Gerrard type player.
Does this mean no striker Adam moving in to CM position with Miereles and Gerrard playing 2nd striker role?

Got a feeling the Suarez deal will go through some time this week fellas.

Look at the facts (if they can be believed), Ajax want £25 million for him and we offer £12.7 or whatever.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Ajax response to this, let's face it' very low offer is 'come back with a suitable offer'. In my book that is negotiating and maybe now a bid of £17-£18 million will seal the deal?

The Booter

{Editor's Note: Ajax are currently asking 35M euro which is around £30M. £25M is what I think they would happily settle for. Less than that and maybe another bidder might appear.}

Andy Gray was an idiot for what he said but there is no need to crucify him. He's light years ahead of any other summariser and never misses a thing in the game. Watching other channels and hearing the likes of Waddle etc spout crap, while not noticing major issues, does my head in.

Sian Massey did a good job and I don't have a problem with women doing the job if they are good enough. She made a great decision for the first Torres goal but nobody has mentioned she flagged for offside once when we were about 5 yards onside. Good job there was no microphone to pick up what I screamed at the telly when she flagged us offside on that one. Unfortunately, my missus heard it and I was stood down for Monday night. Ok, human error, and not as bad as Clattenberg missing a blatant penalty right under his nose in the West Brom game. However, it makes me think that the FA are hell bent on fast tracking kids and women into these positions just to be politically correct. You have to feel sorry for the guy who's worked his way up through the leagues for years and gets by-passed by kids who are not even old enough to remember when you could pass back to the keeper and he could pick it up.

By the way, I'd like to see a bit of totty get pushed in to take that a* ehole Scudamore's place at the Premier League.

My original train of though is: Suarez deal off = Babel does a U turn & agrees to join Hoffenheim.
But after further thought, we have four attacking players (Torres, Ngog, Kuyt & Babbel), so selling Babel without bringing in another forward just doesn't make sense.
I understand that Comolli is still in Amsterdam tonight.
LFC aren't stupid, we know that player unrest can save the club millions (just watch Adam stamp his feet over the next few days), so going in with low bids is all part of the process, hopefully Suarez will make his feelings known to Ajax & we can agree a deal closer to Liverpool's valuation rather than Ajax's.
If Suarez deal doesn't happen Liverpool will close on Negredo.
Banachek.

{Editor's Note: I agree Liverpool aren't stupid, but believe me Comolli is no rocket scientist. He needs to get his act together over this and not do what he did in St Etienne where he demanded full control of transfers. This resulted in the manager being presented with a player he had never met. This would not work in England any more than it did in France where they were pleased to see the back of him.}

Just to say that from what I have seen of Hoarau albeit not much he looks pretty good and seems to have the qualities that would enable him to play well in the premiership with little adapting. I know he is not regarded as a 'world class' striker like Suarez but all is not lost.
He also has never been banned for biting!

Keep up the good work Ed's, your insights are much more interesting than most!

yeah cos 23 goals in 3 years is just wat we need hmmm no thnx

{Editor's Note: It is 23 goals in 50 games.}

over 3 years still, , , so only getting 50 games in 3 years really shows how good he must of been hmmm {ed's note - perhaps you should think about there being other factors to playing football, Torres' record at Atletico wasn't particularly prolific.}

got more games than this haurou or whatever his name is, and scored more, whats these other factors on him not getting more than 50 games in 3 years 3 years ago he was 23 cos hes 26 now so can't say he was starting out, if he was injured alot then don't waste money on him, and if hes not good enough to get in the team over his rival players in his position in his team then hes not good enough is he

Hello everyone we are being linked with Defour now ed what do you make of him?

{Editor's Note: Defour is another central midfield player - it seems unlikely.}

is it not a little bit embarrasing that Lfc just keep discussing the price of players and not coughing it up it does not look very respectful for the club or the fans if you want to buy class players well you have got to pay the price.ed what do you think is happening with all this down pricing we are looking cheap?

It seems our policy towards Central Midfielders these days is: the more the merrier. I predict that our lineup will soon look like this

Reina

Carragher

Gerrard, Miereles, Lucas, Shelvey, Adam, Spearing, Cole, Poulson

Torres

I totally agree we seem to have a midfielder fetish similar to city's striker fetish.

Hi Guys,

A rumour for you. .

Someone who I work with is friends with a football agent. No she wouldn't say who he was unfortuanetly but apparantly has links with Liverpool, Bolton and Blackburn. He has invited her out to private event at the Hilton in Manchester on thursday as he is about to reveal a big signing for a North West club. now. .i'm not saying it is Liverpool, but with Bolton short of funds and blackburn not being shy in coming forwards with their transfer targets we could be looking at a signing this week. Apparantly he would not reveal anything to my colleague because he has be told it must be kept under wraps until its revealed. .with the way we are conucdting our business at the mo I would say it us. .fingers crossed anyway. .the only confusing element is the fact that the little gathering is at the Hilton in Manchester

Guys & Gals,
If Babel is going we have to be getting some attack minded player in.
We're already short in that department so maybe even 2 or 3 players.
My question is
Adam - hit Believable
Suarez - hit Unbelievable
For me it'd be Suarez all day long.

Not a rumour, I have no source other then my own opinion, but doesn't it seem coincidental that we announce Babel will go to Hoffenheim on the same day they announce that Demba Ba will leave them? IMO it was always the intention to sell Babel to Hoffenheim if it was decided that Ba would leave, and the delay was due to them not us as they wouldn't want to buy him if they didn't need a striker. I don't think it has any bearing on any other deal - if we put up the money for Suarez and Adam, then we'll get them, it's as simple as that.

I don't see how you can keep arguing with the Ed on this, NESV have stated they will turn the club around IN TIME and it ISNT A QUICK FIX. They aren't billionaires who have all theIR money from oil and see a football club as a fantasy football team. NESV have a proven track record of taking over a club and changing the clubs fortunes by implementing a well taught out stragety that is best for the long term success of the club. Why should they throw money at players like suarez and adam when they will cost alot less come the summer and enable us to invest the extra money in other players. KK has shown we can play good football with the players we have and while we need some world class players to challenge for the title, that time won't come till next year. I also don't understand this push for adams, unless cheap. He isn't better than gerrard and meireles and isn't a defesive midfielder, even though i think Lucas is better anyway, I taught he was outstanding against wolves, won so many loose balls played it simple and made intelligent runs. Do you think Adams is better than what we have already Ed? {ed's note - I think he is good enough to improve the first team, he offers something different from Gerrard, Lucas and Meireles.}
-------------------------------
i keep arguing cos if we don't buy suarez now for the 20something million, then we won't get him in summer nor any other good player come to that, cos we will end this season not in europa league never mind in the champions league, so whos gunna wanna come to us then, only midtable players at best, i think adam is much better than lucas and poulsen so offer blackpool some cash and one of them idiots, nesv can say alls they like but the fact is they need to buy now cos by time we get to summer we might not be in a position to attract players like suarez.

"Ryan has been told not to hang on any longer for ajax the deal for suarez must have collapsed"

Not necessarily true. Although Ajax was the 'dream move' for Babel, Ajax have what is politely known as a 'severe liquidity problem'. It's cash they are after not players.

{Editor's Note: This is correct - I don't think they are looking for part exchanges. But a loan might help sweeten the deal.}

Babel going for 6 million, Adam coming in for 6 million, its buy to sell, until the summer. . and for gods sake people give it a rest with the suarez s* *e! He is NOT coming.

- - - - - - - - -

It's definitely not sell to buy. It looks like most of, if not all, the money is being used on another endeavour. NESV aren't dirt-poor as the London media would lead you to believe, if Adam was our main signing then we would have bought him weeks ago. I can sense something big.
But it could just be NESV setting aside money for the new stadium/ redevelopment of Anfield. It doesn't seem likely, though.

Anyway, forever the optimist. Hopefully a deal for Llorente or a double swoop for Honda and Turan is being set up.

To all the ed's, why are u all so sure we are not getting Suarez? But you were all so sure about Honda which has turned out to be wrong. I'm not having a go but you must have heard sumthin regarding Suarez/ Honda to be so sure. The answer I'm expecting is, sorry different ed or I never said that about Honda but clearly 2-3 weeks ago u was all 100% on him signin {ed's note - no, I said I wanted him to sign, he is the player I want us to sign, not the player I thought we would sign.}

Yes you did say you thought he'd sign. You said it a number of times. No offence ed, but I'd have a lot more respect for you if you admitted that your "info" is just your opinions on transfers, as you never seem to have any actual insight into any deal.

Ollie the Red

{Editor's Note: Why do you find it necessary to be offensive? Just accept that different Eds have different opinions. I made it clear that I did not expect Suarez to sign and said that Liverpool were interested in Marveaux and Hoarau long before you had ever first come to hear their names. So now we see that Liverpool have offered less than £13M for Suarez so there is some interest - but the club do not seem keen to do business. You also seem to be pretty certain that Honda is not moving this winter - and we might yet see a change there.}

its been a problem at his previous english clubs so im guessing a bit of s*eep happening as for the sale needed for adams nevs said funds were availible without the need of selling so something is not right!

The reason we are going to buy adam is because kenny wants to play gerrard in the hole behind torres. . like he did in his first game back before gerrard got sent off.
lucas, adam and raul in centre mid and gerrard behind torres. . . can then see nzogbia or another left winger coming in with kuyt ( who I always have a go at but have to admit that he is playing well) on the right. . . we would still have maxi, cole, shelvey, poulsen( played well the other day) jovanovic and pacheco as back up. .
adam and a winger is all we need at the moment as the squad is starting to show its real potential.
oh yes and aguero !wink!

100% true - Shaun Wright -Phillips has been seen in Merseyside over the weekend, firstly on a night out in Southport and then viewing a house in Formby. Now, he might just be moving house and checking out the area whilst remaining at city. Or, he is joining a Merseyside club and I doubt it is Everton!


Hmmm. . Let me think, Pienaar has gone to Spurs and he was a winger/ midfielder, and SWP plays in a similar position. He is low cost and lacks some technical ability. And you don't think he is possibly going to Everton. :S

just relax people, kenny knows what he is doing. . all I here is people moaning because we have not signed anyone. . was i the only one who watched the game on saturday then?
gerrard is back, so there is a new signing!
kenny is back, so there is a new signing!
NESV are a new signing and in my humble opinion these are the best 3 signings we could ever have asked for. . we will finish 6th at least even if we don't sign anyone.

Ed is absolutely spot on! Taarrabt has plenty of skill and all the "tricks", but is lazier then Homer Simpson on an iron lung . .if the ball doesn't reach him, then forget it! Colin w* ker aka Neil Warnock stated much the same, coupled with the fact that he also said - QPR players are under instructions not to pass it to Taarabt in their own half as he is an absolute liability!

Tottenham got rid of him for the same reason, loaned him twice to QPR prior and were happy to offload him permanently - wouldn't hack the Premiership . . .I'd rather keep Lucas and Poulsen.

Babel going for 6 million, Adam coming in for 6 million, its buy to sell, until the summer. . and for gods sake people give it a rest with the suarez s* *e! He is NOT coming.
- - -

How do we know it's "buy to sell"? NESV / Fenway have money. .but they won't splash it around. Spending £25m on a player is *NOT* splashing it around *IF* Henry/ Werner believe that the player will either:

a. appreciate in value
b. increase revenue (i.e. Honda = Asian revenue)
c. dramatically improve the team (Suarez/ Torres partnership)

then I believe that they will spend the money.

The one thing we can be certain on is that Henry/ Werner's purchases will be good investments with very little waste. .

Ajax are in an untenable position, they have to sell suarez and are stalling untill the last possible moment untill we decide to give them near what they want, OR they are holding out for someone else to come in and start a bidding war, if its going to happen it will happen in the next 4 days, to be honest i can see us pulling out if it goes beyond them 4 days as it gives us a further 3 days to get someone else in.
also, aguero won't be coming. .im sick of people still saying we will get him.he just signed a new contract at athletico.

Okay,
Does anyone think Suarez is THE ideal striker or is all the talk basically because you've read it somewhere and suddenly your 'sources' are saying deal done?
For me he doesn't represent the best value, he isn't who I'd choose and his agent is clearly behind a great deal of the shae gettin chatted about his move.
Do you think the board are going to sanction a high priced move when they would rather wait til the summer window and really go for the best targets they can. Suarez is on a ban and has probably been gettin on one behind the scenes, we've tried to take advantage on the cheap and it aint happening so the deal was probably only a maybe.
My thoughts are for Adam which is almost certain to happen and Turan if Kenny is still keen. Get some of the deadwood off the wage bill and make a go of it in June.
On another point bye bye Andy Gray. . you're a joke.
Ask yourselves this, would a woman still be presenting as the anchor after nearly twenty years on a dynamic, progressive sport that has undergone vast changes? SSP are lookin for an excuse and gradually more and more footage will emerge as it is doing now and we won't have to put up with the idiot anymore, he hasnt played the game for years and they know they need to freshen things up. Open the windows SSP and let that stink out!

News in from a source:

Babel was awaiting a decision from Ajax as to whether or not they would accept a cash plus player offer for Suarez which obviously included himself.

When he was told today that Ajax would only accept cash, he has made the decision to join The Hoff!

It is thought that Liverpool may now up the initial offer thought to be in the region of 12.5mil to 18.5mil which is roughly the magic figure Ajax would be willing to do business at.

One other thing, how annoying is Ian Hollywood becomming? first he has a go at the press and then his learned friends. If he rates Adam so highly and in his words "like Alonso" then why are they only paying him 10k per week. He'll be a good signing no doubt about it but a squad player at best because when Suarez signs, Stevie G and Meireles will occupy the central mid roles for sure.
Anyway, here's to a very busy week at Anfield. Fingers crossed

@"24 Jan 2011 21:26:25 Liverpool Rumours WTF is going on with Babel? It makes KK look a bit silly when there is a U turn so soon after he said Babel wasnt going."

Lets play a guessing game. How much did we get for Babel? We have offered Ajax 12.7M. They want 24M cash. In all probability we will be able to get him for 20M so as long as Babel is sold for at least 7.7M then we've not only got the cash but we've got Babel off the wage bill as well. Anything over 7.7M (if we're lucky) will go to beef up the Adam bid. Least ways that's what I think and I shall find out how close that is tomorrow.

For what we are expecting to pay for Adam 4-5 million why don't we just pay an extra 3-4 million on Ever Banega. Not wanted at his club and younger and better than Adam and would have better sell on advantage

What do you think Ed?

Even Steven Defour of Liege would cost roughly 12 I'd go for him before Adam as well

Do you agree? {ed's note - Banega, yes, but not Defour, he has too many injuries in his recent past for my liking.}

Hiya ed, not posted for a while as to be far theres only so many suarez rumours you can read before you get a bit bored.
any way just scanned down the page and read all the rumours and banter. there seems to be a bit of bum twitching going on as the deadline fast approaches.
i for one am not surprised by the lack of activity, not every club can afford to pay over the odds for players like city can, yes they wanted dzeko and yes they got him. . . but unlimited funds makes a huge difference. yes im sure we want suarez, and yes im sure we are some way off there asking price. . . . does that mean there is no money? or are they trying to get a better deal?
some people who claim to be in the know, or think they know everything, seem to be quite naieve when its comes to how long and drawn out trying to sign a player can take. its not all black and white. suarez i have no doubt will sign, but for less than ajax want, and for more than we would like to pay.
again people are slating fenway/ nesv for not putting there hand in there pockets, not doing what they said they would. . . but they havent promised any thing, they havent said there is x amount to spend, they said if a player who they believe to be of value becomes available then funds will be made available, an overpriced player who in 1 weeks time may be 3/ 4 million less than the 25m euros we were quoted then they will wait, simple!
and on to the people saying we will struggle to finish in the top 7 unless 3/ 4 quality players are signed now, did we not beat chelsea 2-0, at a time they were flying high, did we not deserve to win on the opening day against arsenal with 10 men for over an hour. we lacked confidence, belief, the players didn't respond to the way roy set up his tactics. mereiles looks a different player, torres looks like he is coming back in to form, steven gerrard is due back, agger is fit, carra will be back soon enough, we have found a gem at right back in kelly, its not all doom and gloom, things are on the up, and with confidence comes effort, and passion, players wanting the ball again. top 4 may be a little beyond us this season, but 5th should be where we are aiming to battle, with spurs and chelsea, and carry on the rebuild in the summer, its shown with cole, keane, crouch, and other in the past etc it can take time to settle and even if suarez, adam, young or anyone else who we sign, it doesn't mean they are gonna cum and pull up trees straight away. judge fenway, kenny and any new signing next season.

Dj babbel gone good news once something else happens. blackpool rejected adams transfer request but might allow us to raise the bid, i think 6 mill should still do it. dead weight, however we are not in a position to loose anyone unless we relace. suarez has asked to reopen talks however i don't think we will meet their evaluation. he is still loose scores goals but is very tempermental 30mill for a guy who is currently serving a 7 match ban for bitting. i certainly don't value him such and think adams has ability but also more importantly heart. we need more in midfield.

Shelvey is the real deal and I don't think will go out on loan but will get more game time
Adam has proven himself in the premiere league. Shelvey hasn't even played a full 90 minutes. Shelvey is an attacking mid (in the gerrard mould). Adam has proven himself to be a versatile midfielder (in the alonso mould). The same reason that Alonso & Gerrard are not interchangable is the reason why Adam & Shelvey aren't interchangable. Adam is naturally left sided & can offer width on the left & cross with more accuracy from the left flank. Everyone wants us to sign Spanish, French, Brazilian but we have a chance to sign a player who is the back bone of a club which has competed admirably in the most difficult & competitive league in the world. If you don't know why we should sign him, just look at the 2 games we played against blackpool & you would see why our midfielders would rather play with him as opposed to against him.

I am getting worried that there will be no signings (other than Warnock) by the end of the window. I admire NESV for having the b@lls to seek value in their first transfer window. It is a concern that the 2 offers we have made have been described as 'disrespectful' We are now at a crossroads where the owners will be concerned that if they cave in and offer what these clubs want then this will be seen as a weakness for future negotiations for other players. Ed, wots your view on this. Should we be concerned?
NiRed {ed's note - not at all, they are doing their business in the correct way, any talk of disrespectful offers is purely a negotiating tactic.}

For what we are expecting to pay for Adam 4-5 million why don't we just pay an extra 3-4 million on Ever Banega. Not wanted at his club and younger and better than Adam and would have better sell on advantage

What do you think Ed?

Even Steven Defour of Liege would cost roughly 12 I'd go for him before Adam as well

Do you agree ? {ed's note - Banega, yes, but not Defour, he has too many injuries in his recent past for my liking.}

According to one of the eds ajax are 30m euros in debt that's equivalant to 25m hence why they want that for suarez to pay off there debt.DORSET RED p.s i still agree with the main ed that we were never after him in 1st place

yeah cos we make bids on players we don't want hmmm logic at its worst, , , , we want him, just nesv r too cheap and won't pay the right amount of money to get him lying yanks

{Editor Note: What proof is there of a bid then apart from the lying journalists? The same ones who claimed Henry met his agent in London, only to brick it when someone informed them Henry was in Liverpool that night? And what have NESV lied about? Dear dear, posts are getting worse here.}

who says all journalists lie, not everyone lies u know, and nesv lied cos they said they will turn this club around but this transfer window they have good players available yet they won't spend the money to get them were nearing the end of the month and we have nothing. ok they said they won't be buying alot this month but atleast buy one good player one player who can help, and u might say they will buy players, but if its not suarez, honda, benzema or even adam and give blackpool poulsen, someone of their calibre, then whos it gunna be, some one like negredo, hourau, swp, c.cole, traore, crap players like them. then it will be a waste of money

{Editor Note: NESV did say they would turn this around, but you missed that part where they said there was no quick fix and they wouldn't just throw money at it, on top of us having to comply with the FFP rules. So no, NESV didn't lie once. Nonsense.}

yes they did, they said they will turn things round, and buying a couple of good players this month would help towards turning things around, and ffp doesn't come into affect officially yet, not till 2012 or 2013 i know its one of them, at the moment its in the position of trying to pursuade ppl it can work but ffp won't work at all, right now nesv can pay for suarez they just won't cos there too cheap and lied

{Editor's Note: To re-ierate. The money to be made available by NESV will largely come in the first instance from money generated by the club, which needs to be self-sufficient as we all know. What I imagine Tom Werner was referring to was that monies generated by the club (such as through the sale of a player) could be used for transfers (obviously if agreed on a case-by-case basis as I have already explained). I think if you are expecting NESV to throw enormous sums of their own money in to transfers, you will have a bit of a long wait until that happens. I do however have no doubts that they will provided financing themselves as necessary - but will not want to pay over the odds. I am however afraid you are mistaken if you are thinking that Tom Werner was not being truthful.}

I don't see how you can keep arguing with the Ed on this, NESV have stated they will turn the club around IN TIME and it ISNT A QUICK FIX. They aren't billionaires who have all theIR money from oil and see a football club as a fantasy football team. NESV have a proven track record of taking over a club and changing the clubs fortunes by implementing a well taught out stragety that is best for the long term success of the club. Why should they throw money at players like suarez and adam when they will cost alot less come the summer and enable us to invest the extra money in other players. KK has shown we can play good football with the players we have and while we need some world class players to challenge for the title, that time won't come till next year. I also don't understand this push for adams, unless cheap. He isn't better than gerrard and meireles and isn't a defesive midfielder, even though i think Lucas is better anyway, I taught he was outstanding against wolves, won so many loose balls played it simple and made intelligent runs. Do you think Adams is better than what we have already Ed? {ed's note - I think he is good enough to improve the first team, he offers something different from Gerrard, Lucas and Meireles.}

Do some of you want Charlie Adam simply because you want the club to sign someone, or should I say anyone? Because it seems to me we have enough midfielders: Stevie, Meireles, Lucas, Poulsen, Babel, Kuyt, Shelvey, and to throw Adam in there doesn't make sense, unless the point is to move Kuyt up front, but there are better strikers we could buy than Kuyt if we used the Adam cash on a true striker. Hopefully Adam is another signing we hear about in the papers, but won't see on the field. I don't mean any disrespect, he has been quality for Blackpool, but I don't see where he fits into our squad.


No we don't just want him for the sake of it , we want him cause as holloway says he is a decent player , just cause he plays for blackpool and not real madrid don't mean he aint good , he is a great passer , he has the passion and desire to win and enjoys his football , unlike all these overpaid foreigners. Hes better than lucas NO DOUBT , if anyone can tell me why lucas is better i would love to hear it ( hes arguably the weakest player in the premier league ) adam is also better than poulsen and better than spearing. i would say only gerrard and meireles are better , if them two got injured our 433 formation would have Spearing poulsen lucas ( are these 3 good enough? be honest )

We do need another cm FACT , with gerrard and adam in there with meireles would be amazing , gerrard and adam two hardworking players with similar attributes. obviously gerrard being better ( just thought id say that so fans don't say " adam is better than gerrard now " )"

I never said Adam wasn't quality, regardless of whether he plays for Blackpool or Real Madrid, so not sure why you think I don't want him simply because he plays for the Tangerines. My point is, the reason Adam handed in a transfer request is because Liverpool are only looking at him now because he is available. But if we wait until the summer transfer window we can make better use of that money and get a better quality player. Players are always more expensive during the January transfer window, and even though he is better than Poulsen and Lucas at CM, we can do better to wait until the summer transfer window and get better quality to add to Gerrard and Meireles then.

Just my opinion, but it seems people want Liverpool to buy someone because we are 24 days into the transfer window without buying anyone, and so NESV show that they care and will support the team, as if they haven't taken incredible strides in the first 100 days they've owned the team to already do that.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
the reason we want adam is because he is prob one of the best midfielder in the league at the moment, and contender for player of the season along with nasri and bale.if we sign him now for 8 mill then it will defo prove the transfer of the window.your talking about signing"a better quality player"in the summer, but we need him now to get stuck in and push us towards a european spot.summers no use if we finnish mid table.turn around starts now with adam and a top striker, not summer.

Just to say that from what I have seen of Hoarau albeit not much he looks pretty good and seems to have the qualities that would enable him to play well in the premiership with little adapting. I know he is not regarded as a 'world class' striker like Suarez but all is not lost.
He also has never been banned for biting!

Keep up the good work Ed's, your insights are much more interesting than most!

yeah cos 23 goals in 3 years is just wat we need hmmm no thnx

{Editor's Note: It is 23 goals in 50 games.}

over 3 years still, , , so only getting 50 games in 3 years really shows how good he must of been hmmm {ed's note - perhaps you should think about there being other factors to playing football, Torres' record at Atletico wasn't particularly prolific.}

No signings this window we have inquired about suarez and adam but suarez is to pricey and we r gonna wait till summer to bid again for adam as we can get him cheaper, its a shame but the yanks just won't waste money and see this season as a right off and a chance to blood the youngsters, if u ask me i would pay the extra to get the 2 signings but they have said all along they need value! its a shame as we would all like to see new faces but will have to wait till summer.

cry for help!

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

There's no difference to Gillett and Hicks, this bunch just dress it up with spin. We still operate at bargain basement level, it just so happens they think employing Commolli will secure quality at bargain basement prices. Werner says value! What he actually means is 'if theres someone to pick pocket, we'll certainly try too'. Bent has set the market tone for strikers at £24 mill. Why does Werner think we can steal a proven goal scorer at a discount. Holloways spot on with his neighbours house analogy. Moreover the clocks ticking and it would appear that Babel and the owners reluctance to spend have once again averted bringing in another striker to compliment Torres.

Ed do you think the possible transfer of suarez and maybe adam are being draw out because liverpool are determined in getting the best possible deal for the club (transfer fee + wages) etc . where before with previous owners we rolled over and paid over the odds in terms of fee and wages. so under this regime we only pay what we think should be paid .

so when he said today Liverpool should put up or shut up he's completely wrong. I still think Adam will
be signed along with a forward and maybe a left back, not certain about the Suárez deal being done
Ajax might just push Liverpool to far and we will stop negotiating any deal, but fingers crossed
everything works out and we will all be happy with the deals that get done

I just laugh people read into things what they want. Not once does Ajax say we have bidder for Suarez it just shows we have enquired about him. Ajax just say Liverpool must come in with a respectable bid! Which means to me that we haven't bid yet, as no one from Liverpool or Ajax has mentioned a bid or amount. All puppets of media rubbish. I'm sick of the Suarez rumours now and really don't care if he comes loads more (better) players available in the summer. We won't make CL for that will be hard, but Europa is up for grabs and we can get that. Rome wasn't built in a day but it stood for many years

how they making us higher than we have been since coming 2nd lol u do realise we been in bottom half of table like 3-4 months now, and were only 10th now, last season we came 7th, this season probably 8th 9th, specially if we don't buy anyone good in this window, therefore no europe no way of attracting good players, therefore more deadwood to be bought and sold then more deadwood again then sold then again and so on, if we want to attract in summer some good players if not alot atleast a couple then we need to finish in european place again, and for that to happen we need to buy a couple of good players now

As for this transfer window. . .i fully trust NESV and KK. NESV seem to be going about their business quietly and proffesionally, even if their offers are a bit cheeky. KK has come in and got the team enjoying their football and playing with passion. My only query would be if Comolli and NESV want to invest in youngsters, why don't they make a serious attempt to buy the likes of oxlade-chamberlain, wickham and lukaku?
My opinion on the squad. . (stress only my opinion, and what i would like to happen)
TO GO konchesky, skrtel, poulsen, jovanovich, ngog, maxi, kyriakos

BRING IN cissokho, adam, turan, elia, lukaku, hazard, martin kelly to CB

Het Parool, a dutch tabloid, are saying that the talks with Ajax have stalled and Damien Comolli flew back to England after just 2 hours. This same article has been quoted all over the internet. It just seems like a really short time for anything good or bad to be decided. But I think more likely they are just filling in the blanks with whatever they want. This saga has just turned in a circus and I have, like most REDS fans, wasted a lot of time following this "transfer" but I am really begin to wonder if there is any truth in our pursuit of Luis Suarez or is it just a case of 2 + 2 = 5.

Liverpool have made a £12.7m bid for the 23-year-old and the Reds' director of football strategy Damien Comolli travelled to Amsterdam on Monday.

"We'll have to wait for them to come back with something more respectful, " an Ajax spokesman told BBC Sport.

"We want to keep him - at least until the end of the season and preferably for the rest of his contract."

Clubs usually have to pay a premium to sign players during the January transfer window - Bosnia striker Edin Dzeko reportedly cost Manchester City £27m earlier this month - and Ajax suggested Liverpool would have to do so as well if they wanted Suarez.

"If you compare the 15m euros [£12.7m] Liverpool want to pay for Suarez with other transfers you can imagine that it's far too low for us".

* * * * * * *

Taken from the BBC website where it is breaking news. So im guessing there has been a bid?
Which would i assume have us beleive that we are interested?
Personally i think 12.7m is taking the piss for someone with this quality. However, I think it goes to prove that with a higher bid he is ours and that is a hell of a signing for January!

{Editor's Note: To re-ierate. The money to be made available by NESV will largely come in the first instance from money generated by the club, which needs to be self-sufficient as we all know. What I imagine Tom Werner was referring to was that monies generated by the club (such as through the sale of a player) could be used for transfers (obviously if agreed on a case-by-case basis as I have already explained). I think if you are expecting NESV to throw enormous sums of their own money in to transfers, you will have a bit of a long wait until that happens. I do however have no doubts that they will provided financing themselves as necessary - but will not want to pay over the odds. I am however afraid you are mistaken if you are thinking that Tom Werner was not being truthful.}

if they won't pay wat it takes to get a player then there not the right owners, if the only players they will afford is mediocre at best then this club is going no where but midtable and lower, u need to throw money in for first few transfer windows, get the team good, then start being careful with ur cash cos if we don't make champions league we won't be making much money to buy players and no one will wanna come to us anyway at the moment we can jus about attract good players, but anymore seasons after next season without champions league football u can say goodbye to ever getting back in the champions league and attracting good players for a very very long time {ed's note - I am just thankful you will never get the chance to run the club, we would go the way of Pompey with you in charge.}

no we wouldnt, there is no debt to pay off, we can pay 25mill-30mill for suarez, 15mill for honda and maybe 7mill plus poulsen on loan, without it hurting the finances, we can then in summer pay out for a good left back a good centre back and a winger, and we will be set for top 4 fight easy possibly even fight for title if we pay for these players and be winning titles in next few seasons the money from sales and money from champions league and possibly winning the title would all pay those fees off we just paid for the players easy, that's how city r doing it paying bi for the best players, get in the champions league win title soon and the money will bring in a return on the players they spent big on

Ed why are we in for Charlie Adams. i mean hes a good player but isn't he a CM? does he play left wing too? and if they're buying him as a central midfielder then im very sure that either spearing or poulsen will leave. its probably the reason to play poulsen get some good performances out of him to raise his market value . what do you think ed?

2.Keisuke Honda: Just think of the shirt sales back home and tv
3.Arda Turan : Would be great on the wing to supply Torres

Get rid of dead weight under rated player that aint good enough to wear a red shirt
Konchesky

Lucas
Babel

About time the likes of

"Do some of you want Charlie Adam simply because you want the club to sign someone, or should I say anyone? Because it seems to me we have enough midfielders: Stevie, Meireles, Lucas, Poulsen, Babel, Kuyt, Shelvey, and to throw Adam in there doesn't make sense, unless the point is to move Kuyt up front, but there are better strikers we could buy than Kuyt if we used the Adam cash on a true striker. Hopefully Adam is another signing we hear about in the papers, but won't see on the field. I don't mean any disrespect, he has been quality for Blackpool, but I don't see where he fits into our squad.


No we don't just want him for the sake of it , we want him cause as holloway says he is a decent player , just cause he plays for blackpool and not real madrid don't mean he aint good , he is a great passer , he has the passion and desire to win and enjoys his football , unlike all these overpaid foreigners. Hes better than lucas NO DOUBT , if anyone can tell me why lucas is better i would love to hear it ( hes arguably the weakest player in the premier league ) adam is also better than poulsen and better than spearing. i would say only gerrard and meireles are better , if them two got injured our 433 formation would have Spearing poulsen lucas ( are these 3 good enough? be honest )

We do need another cm FACT , with gerrard and adam in there with meireles would be amazing , gerrard and adam two hardworking players with similar attributes. obviously gerrard being better ( just thought id say that so fans don't say " adam is better than gerrard now " )"

I never said Adam wasn't quality, regardless of whether he plays for Blackpool or Real Madrid, so not sure why you think I don't want him simply because he plays for the Tangerines. My point is, the reason Adam handed in a transfer request is because Liverpool are only looking at him now because he is available. But if we wait until the summer transfer window we can make better use of that money and get a better quality player. Players are always more expensive during the January transfer window, and even though he is better than Poulsen and Lucas at CM, we can do better to wait until the summer transfer window and get better quality to add to Gerrard and Meireles then.

Just my opinion, but it seems people want Liverpool to buy someone because we are 24 days into the transfer window without buying anyone, and so NESV show that they care and will support the team, as if they haven't taken incredible strides in the first 100 days they've owned the team to already do that.

Charlie Adam may sign, though I agree with the eds and a few others that a player in that position can hardly be viewed as a priority. If the Babel money had indeed been ear-marked for that purchase, then perhaps it won't happen. I think people should calm themselves a little though. January is simply not a good time for transfers, either in terms of player availability or choice. What point is there to simply throwing money at players if they're either over-priced because its January or not really what we need? Personally I have real concerns over Suarez and hope he doesn't come here. These people bleating on about NESV lying are idiots. Just stay calm people, let them run the club. Far better to keep our powder dry until summer, get the manager situation sorted, then vigorously pursue the selling of dead wood and recruiting of real talent. If the odd solid signing can be made this January then all well and good, but lets not panic. We're simply not going to go and pick up Aguero, Sanchez and Coentrao - its completely unfeasible. Right now we are about stabilization and rebuilding the season, establishing a positive psychology at the club, and in my view looking to the summer. The only first team player I can see us bringing in this next week is Honda.

Just to say that from what I have seen of Hoarau albeit not much he looks pretty good and seems to have the qualities that would enable him to play well in the premiership with little adapting. I know he is not regarded as a 'world class' striker like Suarez but all is not lost.
He also has never been banned for biting!

Keep up the good work Ed's, your insights are much more interesting than most!

Liverpool have made a £12.5m bid for Luis Suarez, quickly rejected by ajax, I'm not suprised, surely Liverpool didn't expect that to be high enough bid for him? and I'd have to agree that a £4m bid for Charlie Adam is a small insult too? In todays transfer world, it just isn't enough, my worry is that Liverpool will miss out on some quality and much needed signings down to trying to be too shrewd!

Just curious- what's the fuss about Charlie Adam- I mean, how good is he, and what does he offer that we don't have?
Is it because he's a dynamic player, or especially skilful, or what?
Is he better than Spearing, Lucas, or Poulsen?

Ed, what do you think of my conspiracy theory? LFC want Suarez, but Ajax €20m. Then Camolli goes to Ajax to thrash out deal only to be told they want €30m now. I think that Ajax are trying to sell Suarez & get Babel (€20 + Babel "free") Dalglish then comes out & says Babels going nowhere. Too much cat & mouse for my liking. Hope this doesn't blow up in our faces.
I think €15m + Babel is fair

i was never a fan of the yanks coming in and buying us, they have no clue about football and how it all works, its totally different to baseball and anyother sport in america, its not exactly hard to get baseball players, cos its not exactly a hard sport to master so plenty of ppl can do it, football is alot different and tougher to get into and to be a top player the fees r different the ways of doing transfers is different they don't realise how much money here u gotta throw at players to get them, u got to throw absurd money at teams and players to get them, its near enough impossible to get a bargain {ed's note - you really have no understanding or knowledge of what you are talking about. The pool of professional footballers is thousands of times the size of the pool of professional baseball players.

Just like Ian Holloway's mouth - he was funny and fresh with is comments at the beginning of the season - but what a bore he has become now - he just loves the sound of his own voice - we made a bid, it was rejected - look inside his own club as to who contacted the press his transfer request was rejected - wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't him to get another chance to mouth off

Instead of listening to snippits from the national

Holloway! Go on to bbc radio lancashires website

coming from his agent? just maybe! {ed's note - it is well known that Kenny Moyes is responsible for leaking the info, the way he is going he will lose his license to operate.}

Totally agree with the 2nd poster. Holloway seems to be one of a few decent managers left in the game with a shred of decency.

I actually feel sorry for the guy. Adam could be the difference from Blackpool staying up or going down. So you can understand why he wants more money for Adam.

Think of it like us struggling to stay up and then the vultures came circling for Gerrard. That's how important Adam is to Blackpool.

I remember in an article Holloway did just before he took Blackpool to Anfield he said

"I would love Blackpool to be like Liverpool eventually. But not even Mr Ferguson has been able to achieve that, and he's been there for over 20 years"

Why don't you understand why we'd buy him? Ed?

{Editor's Note: I see no use for him as a starter unless Shelvey is going out on loan. An average squad player only.}

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

I think it is clear that he is to replace both Poulson and Spearing as he offers more than both of them combined and possibly Lucas in the long run.
Shelvey is the real deal and I don't think will go out on loan but will get more game time.

* * Seriously boys - c'mon. Charlie Adam is without doubt, the finest left-footed passer (and one of the top five passers) playing in the Prem. Poulsen, Spearing, and Lucas are nowhere near Adam's technical level and never will be, and lets not forget he is Blackpool's Captain, due to his leadership qualities and ability to take games by the scruff of the neck, and dominate the midfield. Ian Holloway as a football manager understands the finer details of the game than any of us 'fans', and he correctly said that Adam can be as good as Alonso was for us. He is absolutely true in saying this. Sadly for Lucas, he will be demoted, with a central three of Raul, Charlie and Stevie G. Arguably the strongest and most versatile midfield trio you could field in Prem football. We should back the Club's approach for Charlie Adam, who will be next in a long line of top-quality Scottish players at the most successful ever English club. YNWA* * *

{Editor's Note: As I have said, repeatedly, I expect Adam to sign - but I don't understand why Liverpool want him.}

Why don't you understand why we'd buy him? Ed?

{Editor's Note: I see no use for him as a starter unless Shelvey is going out on loan. An average squad player only.}

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

I think it is clear that he is to replace both Poulson and Spearing as he offers more than both of them combined and possibly Lucas in the long run.
Shelvey is the real deal and I don't think will go out on loan but will get more game time

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

i think Adam would being a better passing spectrum to Liverpool's play.

KK has this extra special gift that allows him to take a middle place team player and make them for-fill there potential.

We have missed that eye for a pass and with Adam he is a good replacement for Alonso and would be a bargain for 7m.

Shelvey is a young prospect and with time and game time will get better, but we need Adam now more then you realise Ed.

This is my team with Adam and N'zobia being the only players in this Jan window as Suarez will be priced out of a move.

According to one of the eds ajax are 30m euros in debt that's equivalant to 25m hence why they want that for suarez to pay off there debt.DORSET RED p.s i still agree with the main ed that we were never after him in 1st place

yeah cos we make bids on players we don't want hmmm logic at its worst, , , , we want him, just nesv r too cheap and won't pay the right amount of money to get him lying yanks

{Editor Note: What proof is there of a bid then apart from the lying journalists? The same ones who claimed Henry met his agent in London, only to brick it when someone informed them Henry was in Liverpool that night? And what have NESV lied about? Dear dear, posts are getting worse here.}

who says all journalists lie, not everyone lies u know, and nesv lied cos they said they will turn this club around but this transfer window they have good players available yet they won't spend the money to get them were nearing the end of the month and we have nothing. ok they said they won't be buying alot this month but atleast buy one good player one player who can help, and u might say they will buy players, but if its not suarez, honda, benzema or even adam and give blackpool poulsen, someone of their calibre, then whos it gunna be, some one like negredo, hourau, swp, c.cole, traore, crap players like them. then it will be a waste of money

{Editor Note: NESV did say they would turn this around, but you missed that part where they said there was no quick fix and they wouldn't just throw money at it, on top of us having to comply with the FFP rules. So no, NESV didn't lie once. Nonsense.}

What you have got to remember is that our style of football we are now playing is very much suited to most of our squad, since kenny has taken over we have gone back to pass and move and the support torres recieved from the midfield against wolves at the weekend was wonderfull to watch.with the likes of maxi, moreilles, cole, gerrard and torres not only are these guys technically very gifted but they are all very clever players which bodes well for the rest of the season.
as for transfers; for me adam is a must. and i would love to see ashley young in for kuyt.also a ball winning centre half and a quality left back. who would you want for those two positions ed? any thoughts?? ?

{Editor Note: For those two positions, I would like to see Victor Ruiz of Espanyol - he's young and he has got great potential. For left-back, probably Aly Cissokho}

No more Hicks and Gilette. 2. No more unservicable debt. 3 Interim manager (Hodgson) has gone. 4. The king has returned. 5 The team has made Very noticable progress. 6. Youngsters are getting a chance. 7 There are clear signs of transfer activity. DON'T PANIC FFS! Thinks back to how it was when we had those two james blunts bleeding us dry.

Do some of you want Charlie Adam simply because you want the club to sign someone, or should I say anyone? Because it seems to me we have enough midfielders: Stevie, Meireles, Lucas, Poulsen, Babel, Kuyt, Shelvey, and to throw Adam in there doesn't make sense, unless the point is to move Kuyt up front, but there are better strikers we could buy than Kuyt if we used the Adam cash on a true striker. Hopefully Adam is another signing we hear about in the papers, but won't see on the field. I don't mean any disrespect, he has been quality for Blackpool, but I don't see where he fits into our squad.


No we don't just want him for the sake of it , we want him cause as holloway says he is a decent player , just cause he plays for blackpool and not real madrid don't mean he aint good , he is a great passer , he has the passion and desire to win and enjoys his football , unlike all these overpaid foreigners. Hes better than lucas NO DOUBT , if anyone can tell me why lucas is better i would love to hear it ( hes arguably the weakest player in the premier league ) adam is also better than poulsen and better than spearing. i would say only gerrard and meireles are better , if them two got injured our 433 formation would have Spearing poulsen lucas ( are these 3 good enough? be honest )

We do need another cm FACT , with gerrard and adam in there with meireles would be amazing , gerrard and adam two hardworking players with similar attributes. obviously gerrard being better ( just thought id say that so fans don't say " adam is better than gerrard now " )

Grow up fella FFS. Ajax are asking for about €10 mil more than he is worth! I agree with the clubs stance of not over paying for players when similar quality can be found for a more reasonable price. Think about it €30 mil for Suarez, Kun Aguero is available for €38 mil and a far better player, Llorente also available for about €28 mil. . and no I am not saying we are in for these players but they are a better option than Suarez @ the price Ajax want!

I would play both Mireless and Gerrard in the centre and then play 2 up top. If Kenny plays 4-4-2 then it dosn't make any sense to me to buy Adam. Unless Kenny is going to play 4-3-3 then you would have Adam, Gerrard and Mireless as the midfielders, which comes with it's own problems because we wouldn't have any width. And we've been crying out for wingers and strikers for years now.

The only way the Adam signing makes sense to me is we have at least 1 winger and striker on their way to Anfield. Then we would have both options of playing 4-4-2 or 4-3-3.

Liverpool are totally committed to bringing suarez. one marquee signing is thought to be vital by the higher hierarchies of the club to settle the players we have and to lift the moral of the squad. you would't expect cammoli to fly all the way to Amesterdam and be stubborn on his asking price. he is still to negotiate and to strike the best deal possible.
Suarez is also reported by skysports that he was having a meeting with his agent and is expected to hand in a transfer request. As henry met the agent earlier last week, our club is pretty confident that the player will put a pressure on his current club which will help to lower the price.
it also reported that Liverpool's willingness to loan out pacheco may favour the deal to happen.

Would you rather
a) sign now for 6-10 million and finish 8th.
b) sign in the summer for 1-3 million and probably finish in the same position.

Guys it's the same old story. Think back to the Summer transfer window all that speculation of strikers and wingers and what did we get NOTHING! not even a possible in the January 2011 window.

Same old story again, all the hype and nobody signs.

Bottom line is no matter who is in charge, unless a multi billionaire buys the club, we won't be able to compete with the current market, and that's the truth.

25 million for Suarez is nothing considering his form and goal scoring ability

7 million is nothing for Adam if he is being compared to Alonso

As for Ashley Young, well if Charlie Adam is posing problems and with less than a week to go in the window, forget it! !.

Ed, guns to your head, what striker and winger will LFC approach in the summer?

{Editor's Note: Different Eds will have different opinions - I said before the window opened that it would be the French pair - Hoarau and Marveaux - and I'll stick with that although it may need to be a pre-contract with Marveaux. I expect the dumb move for Adam also. Interestingly the buzzrds are surrounding Utrecht's Ricky van Wolfswinkel again as there is a chance he may be fit earlier than expected - early enough for someone to take a chance on him now.}

The media, websites and in particular SSN have no idea what is going on, everything they say is pure speculation!

Negotiations take time. You never offer asking price at the outset; you haggle, and try to find a compromise. A week left in Jan to sort it out and i will not give up on the Suarez deal. Don't belive everything you read as papers make up headlines the way they want. My guess is that 95 percent of the headlines are made up just to sell papers. Wait and see!

Charlie Adams transfer request was rejected by Blackpool.Owen Oyston will only listen to offers around £9M a figure he believes the midfielder is worth.Charlie Adams is also aware that there is interest from Manchester United and Ian Holloway has told Charlie the game against Manchester United is the perfect game to show he's got the qualities to play against the big teams.Although Charlie favours a move to Liverpool as he believes he'll get more game time he also wants to play under Kenny Dalglish, however Blackpool are determinded to keep hold of him until the summer.

Two months ago Damien Commolli said most of the transfers in January are done on the last day. We have money to spend and we are playing a waiting game to see if we can get our targets the way spuds got vanderpart (cheap). I expect however we will end up paying the full price because we have always been a soft touch when it comes to signings and other clubs know we are desperate.

Ed, please clear this up with fellow readers.
Ever since alonso left he became 10 times the player!
Gerrard has more vision than alonso and is overall a complete midfielder, who can tackle, score, great passer and with the amount of assists he supplys his vision succeeds alonsos spectaculary. Alonso is a CONSISTENTLY better passer of the ball than gerrad and sets the tempo something which Gerrad struggles to do makes Alonso a very good midfielder. But to say hes a better midfielder and has more vision than gerrard is RIDICULOUS

Ed do you have any more info on the transfer front? because from what im getting the suarez deal is in doubt because ajax are being greedy and are asking for loads of money , at the end of the day why do they want a player who doesn't want to be there , spose its the same with charlie adam , so were going to miss out on two transfer targets who both want the move to liverpool because of greed from there clubs? or is it NESV being stingy?

Also ed do you have any info on why it is taking liverpool so long to sign someone theres only a few days left and these teams that lose players are going to want to replace them , if we arent going to get suarez , there should be a back up plan we have had more than enough time.

{Editor's Note: The deal for Suarez is simple - Ajax have set a fee and if Liverpool get close then a deal can be struck.}

I am led to believe that Comolli is still in Holland this evening and that negotiations are continuing over Suarez.

All Ed's seem very quick at defending NESV and echoing comments of Jan is a difficult market etc etc

{Editor's Note: Not sure about the others, but I do if appropriate.}

My question is: take Coentrao for example. Prob 1 of 3 best LB's in the world. If we are interested, would it not be easier to try and whip a bid in and get him now (say 25m) or wait to the summer when ManU 7 ManC start a bidding war? Offer 35m for Aguerro now. Come the summer Chelski will offer 40m+ watch.

{Editor's Note: This makes no sense to me. You want to just randomly buy players so other clubs can't - sounds a bit like Manchester City. Who will fund this spending spree?}

* * * * * * *
No Ed, I'm saying that (if we for example want Aguero) put in a bid for 35m now whilst Chelski are worrying about a defender. Watch, come the summer, with a new coach at the helm at Chelski and money to burn they will offer 40m. Then too late. ManU & RM don't have the money for Coentrao now, so if we are interested offer 25m now. Come the summer, Evra leaves to RM then ManU after Coentrao - who will he choose?

With regards to your "who will fund this spending spree?" Are NESV competing with the big boys or not? World class players cost money - in Jan or Aug.

Maybe I am on another planet, but surely there is a bit of sense to my argument. Makes sense to me.

Anyone agree?

Just like Ian Holloway's mouth - he was funny and fresh with is comments at the beginning of the season - but what a bore he has become now - he just loves the sound of his own voice - we made a bid, it was rejected - look inside his own club as to who contacted the press his transfer request was rejected - wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't him to get another chance to mouth off

SO NO TRANSFER KITTY THEN ED?

{Editor's Note: I have said this on numerous occasions, but once more - there is and never has been a kitty or budget for transfers. The manager, coaches, scouts and Comolli will decide what players they wish to go after and put a case for those players to members of the board. The case put forward will explain the benefits that the player could bring to the club and will no doubt deal with financial matters such as resale value after 2, 3, 4 years or whatever. Based on those discussions, the decision will be taken as to whether or not to proceed with an approach to the player's club and a probable upper limit set for negotiations.}

Ed I know you have repeated that a few times, and I'm not arguing, but what then did the potential sale of Babel have to do with buying Adam? Seeing as we did approach Blackpool a case must have been made to the board and then approved, and a figure set in mind as you say. If however the actual payment is dependent is selling first then I agree that what Werner said just the other day is kind of misleading.

Ryan 'O

{Editor's Note: A different Ed and I explained below that NESV are expecting the club to pay for transfers from within the means of the club - not look for sugar daddy payments from the owners. So if the club gereates money that money may be used on transfers.}

I do understand the point you make, and I think NESV have been great so far, but Tom Werner comments are still confusing then. .

Ed's? I am seriously doubting our acquisition of any players in this window! Adam surely won't be coming now, Holloway has made that clear aswell as the Blackpool chairman! Suarez looks as though it was always rumours! Even if we do get Adam he's only going to be a squad player! How can we be so inactive in this window giving the fact we are crying out for width, pace, a striker not to mention our defensive troubles, also with the trouble the club has been through the past 18 months or so, I would have though this an opportunity to strengthen, not massively but atleast try and solve some of the problems! Very dissilussioned! Thoughts ed?

We have got to trust the current regime, especially with KK looking after our interests. He knows the players throughout the entire club and has already ensured these players are involved in and around the first team. If we don't sign anyone KK will bring some of the younger players through, but I expect some movement of players both ways. I'm encouraged to see that everything is done in relative privacy, that's what our club was brought up on. It does not enliven any debates about players though, just keeps the guessing going!

Once again we are gonna buy another central midfielder when we already have Gerrard, Lucas, Poulson, SPearing, Shelvey and Meireles who we bought last summer. What the hell is going on at Anfield? I thought things were about to change. It looks to me like if we are to get any nearer to the top and back in the champions league we will need Jose Mourinho as manager and kicking Damian up his apse telling him to buck up his ideas! 9 player in and out that's how bad we are.
- - - - - - -

We may have a plethora of CM's, but few are up to scratch.

Gerrard: Brilliant player. Our most consistent player by far.

Lucas: Fantastic role model for younger players - great
attitude and model professional - but a frustratingly inconsistent figure on the pitch.

Poulsen: Shocking player. Is a prime example of how far Danish football has fallen that this terrible player is captain of Denmark.

Spearing: Terrible player. He's 22 now and should have broken through by now if he was ever to do so. Will no doubt be sold by the summer.

Shelvey: Great prospect, though not ready. A tad frustrating on pitch, but he will learn. Should continue coming on in the last 20 minutes.

Meireles: World class technical player, though not fully effective without a tough-tackling partner-in-crime alongside him, which showed on Saturday when Lucas and Poulsen combined to provide some sort of protection for the back four and service for Meireles.

Adam would not only provide brilliant back-up for Meireles and Gerrard, but also bring pinpoint passing back to the forefront of our play and the ability to go in hard when needed and assist Meireles. Saying that, though, I wouldn't pay more than £7m for him, as by that point we could potentially afford better players (eg Banega, Martinez (my personal favourite), M'Vila)

you think 2 will be enough to get us through season?

Hi Eds and fellow Liverpool fans,

I'd just like to say that all of this nonsense going on are we getting Suarez or aren't we. Ask yourself the question. . Do we really need him? Consider this. Merieles and Lucas Midfield with one of Kuyt/ Johnson/ Cole or Maxi on Right and then say either Turan/ Honda on left (Should we get either of them) and stick Gerrard behind Torres. That team apart from the missing link needed on the left (where we previously had an out an out left footer in Riera) was the team which nearly won the title 2 seasons ago. What has happened since - Well Merieles is slowly becoming something close to what Alonso was and Lucas though some of you doubt his ability is definitely showing promise (He just needs to ensure he doesn't give as many fouls away near the edge of the box) is becoming more like Mascherano than you think. Kelly is in my eyes already up to or past the standard of Arbeloa so you see it is really just the left side that needs sorting out - if we get that right then we'll be fine and remember Honda can play as a striker anyway so he would be more than able should Torres be injured.

Basically, what I'm saying is that even if we don't get a striker all would not be lost and think back to where we were when Roy was still here! ! Exactly, at least The King has got some fight back in his players and has got them playing like they wanna bleed for the City!

Any comments? ?

Awesome site !

Because it seems a little strange anyone would go all the way to Holland if they had not made an offer or agreed a fee. If reports have been true that the valuation is miles apart , why would he bother to make such a journey ?

{Editor's Note: Comolli was in Amsterdam this morning but left at lunchtime. Perhaps he has now gone to Paris to talk to a club?}

Ed maybe your hinting at PSG? maybe Guillaume Hoaru. He is massive 6ft 4in and strong as mate.

As a player, he is having his best season and if PSG would let him leave I think he would fit in well in England. He can be a real handful for defenders which may buy some decent space for Torres.}

I've just seen the video from SSN of Ollie talking about Charlie Adams transfer request.
And although i would like us to sign him and his valve of him and the Xabi comparison is a bit silly, i think he is right if LFC want him they should stop messing around and seal the deals with more reallistic offers.
Ollie said he has not had an improved offer and that Comoili had spoken to Blackpool chairman, but that the conversation was pointless and confussing.
Ollie clearly respects LFC and if to had been a different club that had bid i think we may of seen one of his world famous rants.
The worrying thing is that we seem to be in the same situation as when Rick Parry was doing the deals, Someone needs to call Christian Purslow in to sort this out.
We all know that clubs like ours seem to get the prices hiked up on us but that's the way it is as we turn over more money than most.
Man Up Reds we need some depth in this squad.

In my opinion for what its worth i believe if Ajax won't budge on there un realistic price for Suarez then Liverpool have to walk and say "fair enough" because if we chase this down till dead line day we will prob end up with nothing! and if we harbour any realistic faint hopes of pushing for top 4 then we won't do it with Ngog and Babel coming off the bench. .

We need to walk away and save plent of time to look at one of our other striker targets! If Comoli thinks we can just wait till 10.00pm deadline day to say hey we want Negredo instead they will turn round and say "Ya left it far to late" and then we are not gonna push on under Kenny. .

neither we won't get a good player this window and probably not even in summer the yonks have lied to us they won't stump up the cash for a good player they said they will look at each player and decide to stump up or not, they looked at suarez, who is a very good player and said nah we don't want to pay his value we want a price cut, but then when it comes to them and a team wants torres or gerrard they won't slash no prices then would they lying yonk stum

Hi Ed
Has Comolli actually been to or is he in Amsterdam ?
Because it seems a little strange anyone would go all the way to Holland if they had not made an offer or agreed a fee. If reports have been true that the valuation is miles apart , why would he bother to make such a journey ?

{Editor's Note: Comolli was in Amsterdam this morning but left at lunchtime. Perhaps he has now gone to Paris to talk to a club?}

Now as it seems like the suarez deal is off, the top story in french media is that lfc made a double offer for the hazard brothers. They are both under 20 and will fit the new profile. I've been told the totalt price is £25m, but the sourse is not 100%.

If Charlie Adam is 4m less of a player than Mascherano then I am Fernando Torres. As muchas I respect Holloway he is being a plock about this whole situation. How, in 2 years does a players value increase by 13.5m? Unless they have won the Prem or world cup?

He's a good player, Ian needs to realise he isn't world class. .

I got to be honest with you . I have seen Charlie Adam a couple of times and his passing ability Really reminds me of a Xabi Alonso . and i think we need a Xabi Alonso Type player. Because we lack width(typo? ) on the field and speed and cut-through/ lobbing the ball are exactly what we need
. . Adam is not as good as Xabi , but i do believe he can become great for us .

All Ed's seem very quick at defending NESV and echoing comments of Jan is a difficult market etc etc

{Editor's Note: Not sure about the others, but I do if appropriate.}

My question is: take Coentrao for example. Prob 1 of 3 best LB's in the world. If we are interested, would it not be easier to try and whip a bid in and get him now (say 25m) or wait to the summer when ManU 7 ManC start a bidding war? Offer 35m for Aguerro now. Come the summer Chelski will offer 40m+ watch.

{Editor's Note: THis makes no sense to me. You want to just randomly buy players so other clubs can't - sound a bit like Manchester City. Who will fund this spending spree?}

Yes, I understand that some clubs don't want to lose players in Jan, but surely you can agree that come August all the big boys will be throwing cash around too. I think we missed a trick with the likes of Lukaku, Coetrao, Sanchez, Aguero and co.

{Editors Note: Of those four two are not available in January., one would not be interested and one too expensive.}

I'm pretty sure we'll get Charlie Adam by the weekend, I can't see us spending huge amounts this window because the expectation would be massive and I'm not sure that KK wants that sort of pressure and the last thing the board wants is more unrest on and off the pitch if the performance don't live up to the investments made, especially when the January window prices for players are silly.

Also a loan deal for Warnock would be sensible. These two aquisitions won't break the bank and should leave some funds available for the summer window where KK can get better value or his repacement should that be the direction taken by the board can put his mark on the squad (as they like to do).

Imagine if Mourinho was to take interest in Liverpool next season, do you think he'd like to do a spot of shopping?

Ed, do you think this is the way it is right now?

I really am starting to think we won't sign anyone in this window. i was hoping all month that we would, but with one week left i just don't see it happening. Do i think the current side is good enough, the 1st 11 maybe to get top 6, but 1 or 2 injuries to key players, and no we are not.

if we don't get anyone its the same story as H&G, not wanting to pay the money for these players. . suarez is as good as tevez in my eyes, and you do pay for what you get. we always want to pay half of what a player is worth. . if the shoe was on the other foot our board would be raging if city offered 18 million and no more for torres.

{Editor's Note: Hicks and Gillett owned the club when Torres joined and when most of the youngsters who are now coming good joined.}

yes ed agree with you on that bit, but they also wouldn't pay money for some players and rafa would have to settle for 3rd or 4th choice. i.e pennent was one that sticks out at the minute. Thats how the things began with them. i just hope this isn't of things to come, i want the owners now to be the right ones to much, but there is something cautious in my mind thinking that somethings not right with them.

{Editor's Note: Hicks and Gillett did a really good job of letting Rafa Benitez run wild with the cheque book. I appreciate that money came in from sales but money was spent.}

Seriously bid 8 minimum he is worth that to Blackpool and anythig less is damn right unfair who are they gonna buy with 5-6 million as good as him?

Also why did you mention cocentrao (spelling with man u, he stated he loved us and we have the money where as manu don;t)

I agree with the owners that we have to be sensible when buying players, that we need to make value buys and the players need to be young.

However I think that sometimes you need to spend slightly more on players that you beleive will be amazing e.g

Berbatov was £30m (horrible but a goalscorer)
Torres £26m + Garcia (amazing!)
Tevez (crazy money)

I really think that even though we shouldn't cave in to Ajax who want £30m for Suarez we should entertain paying in the region of £28m to land an amazing goal scorer.

Torres and Suarez would be the best partnership in the PL.

I know that it's a time to be patient however if we don't get any striker at all in the window then I'll feel let down.

I'm afraid to say that, with every day that passes, I'm becoming less and less sure that we'll sign any quality players. Liverpool's squad is good now, playing the KK style of football, but to really challenge for anything this season, and in the future, we need to add some real strength and depth. Despite this season, I can't see any reason why Liverpool isn't an attractive opportunity for any top player.
For me we need:

Another quality play maker, to take some of the burden off Gerrard, for me Joe Cole just hasn't cut it. its good to see the improvement in Meireles, but i still think we need someone else, like Adam or Yoann Gourcuff but but I doubt he'll leave Lyon. There's still time for the likes of Shelvey and Spearing.

A big physical striker, for example Llorente, to really balance out our attack, Torres is world class, but he needs a big physical player to share the burden. I think they would work incredibly well together.

and a left back, maybe Lahm, whilst not only strengthening the defence we would add pace and an attacking option in going forward, however he is maybe coming to the end of his career. I think a few other options are Coentroa, or Drenthe or Cissokho, all of these three are young, I have seen Drenthe play enough times to know that he is a brilliant prospect, and he is still young!

what do you think Ed? Great site!

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

I really don't understand peoples logic when they say we should get Llorente or any other out and out striker, unless they are going to be a replacement for torres when rested and not a strike partner. KK has shown the formation he wants to employ, which has a lone striker and torres has never played well with a strike partner. We need a player to play in the hole behind the striker or can play wide of the main striker, like villa does for spain/ barca. Thats why i think suarez type player would be a great signing. Personnally I think gervinho, hazard, neymar or lavezzi would be great options if available. For the LBs id love any of them apart from Drenthe as he has a bad attitude and is a better winger and not much of a LB. Ed do you think with Adam having his request rejected there is any point in signing him as we would be at least double what he will cost in the summer? What do you think of the likelyhood of Liverpool targeting one of the players who shines brightest at the U20 South American championship currently being played?

{Editor's Note: I don't see any need for Adam, but expect him to join. There is a chance of a player from South America but I have heard nothing about Liverpool showing interest in any players - and I had a full report on the championship on Saturday from someone who had just returned from there.}

Ed? Does the fact that Babel is staying put mean we are not buying a striker in this window! {ed's note - hard to say mate, I would think it has an impact on our plans as it was suggested to Adam that the sale of Babel would enable him to be bought.} Does this mean then Ed that the owners have lied to us and there is in fact no money and we are to sell before we can buy?!

{Editor's Note: Babel decided to not move to Hoffenheim and I don't know of any other offers for him. I am not sure what lie you are referring to from the owners, but I have explained how the process works in response to another post. But the bottom line of most clubs is that you expect transfers to be funded by the club, not by wealthy owners.}

ed that may be the case but they r the owners they want to turn lfc into winners they won't do that till they stump up the cash, they definitly won't get many transfers just using money from the club they need to use there money toowe won't sign anyone good, it will be the types like swp, c.cole, n'zogbia and so on players who r mediocre at best

Ed seems optimistic that we might get someone. Is there any reason for the optimism? What about you Blair, do you think we'll get anyone. I like the new owners so far and I like the fact that we seem to be conducting ourselves a bit more quietly and dignified, I know there are some fans that are doubting NESV and are taking the lack of news to be a lack of activity, I hope there wrong. I liked Kenny's post match interview on sky as well and I am trying to remain hopeful but am starting to prepare myself for a quiet month.

I would like to see a pacey winger and a striker Bob. But i'll be just as happy if we don't sign anyone and look forward to what Kenny and Steve do with the present bunch of players. I think we can see signs already of Kenny putting his own brand of football he wants, and us the fans want to see.

I hope the Ed's right about a couple of signings mate we defo need a striker more than anything, never mind a midfielder i.e Charlie Adam.

Blair Mayne YNWA

{Editor's Note: I agree with Blair, I have no idea at all why there is all of this fuss over Adam.}

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

I think a winger and striker are the most important and going off an interview with comolli, so does he, he said that we lack pace on the wings and that a striker is needed to compliment Torres not replace him, so fingers crossed. I agree we do look a better side now under Kenny, I think the players look like there enjoying it a bit more and we might not win but Id rather loose playing a passing game than loose long balling it, entertaining saturday wasn't it.

I personally don't mind Adam as I believe Liverpool need to get compettion for places however I see where your coming from as the wings and striker roles are more important, so hope we strengthen them first.

Hi Guys,

I was speaking to the Editor of the Eurosport site and he told me that liverpool have been quoted a €35m price for Saurez. Ed do you know if he is a relibale source. I just posted a question on the transfer clockwatch system they have and he said this was what Camolli was told.

if this is true we should back out now and turn our attention to someone else. I really hope we don't get Benzema waste of space has scored what two goals in the leauge. If we wanted to do that we should play Poulsen up front. Not to mention the PL is one of the toughest leauges in the world. Probablly the main reason we won't sign is if NESV are doing there player stats to draw up targets he would be bottom. Any thoughts fellow Liverpool fans/ Editor

Quigz23

{Editor's Note: If you had looked here first thing this morning you would know about the price. It is true - 35M euro - 20M euro above the Liverpool bid. IF Liverpool significantly increase their bid then I am sure Ajax will come down a little.}

I agree Ed there are loads but that example wasnt a good one! as i even forgot to mention Robben and Elia in that! but my point is there is a big difference in trying to get into the Scottish team and getting into the Dutch team. Im not saying Adam isn't a good players as i think he is but don't agree with Holloway saying good enough to replace Alonso not many players are! and he isn't worth £10million!

So I guess there will be no suarez or any other gud striker comin 2 liverpool this month. I know nesv will not meet the asking price of either llorente or benzema, so i'm going to giv up and hope for a suprise. I just new it was to gud to be tru wen i saw rumours of us close to a deal with suarez.Hopefully the ED's are right and we will sign honda.

Hi Ed, not really a rumour but, i don't know if its just me, but im getting a bit tired of the Suarez saga now. Its been going on for a long time and i know these things do take time, but do you think if a deal was going to be done, it would have been done by now? Also do you think it may be a smokescreen and we are looking at someone like Llorente or Ola Toivonen behind closed doors? look at Meireles signing, completely out of the blue.

Any thoughts, cheers Ed.

To all those suggesting things are being done 'the liverpool way' wake up! we want suarez, it is and has been all over the media for weeks and then liverpool came out publicly and said they want him along with young and before that bent! then we put in a sloppy bid for adam and that's all over the media reports but Ssshhh its all under wraps. oh yeah and to those making references to the meireles deal, Just because it wasnt all over the "star" dosnt mean it was that well done! liverpool scouts were at two porto games (one of which was wearing an lfc tie) During the masch saga everyone simply assumed we were after hulk but i had my doubts as kk wanted him and he had nothing to do with transfers then. we won't make any signings this window in excess of 8mil

It is being done the Liverpool way. . Dalglish from his own mouth on t.v said it is being done

Ed. now that Luis Suarez potential move to Liverpool has broken down and Charlie Adam has handed a transfer request to Blackpool though they have rejected. I think the best is to sign Charlie Adam and give Gerrard or Meireles the more advanced role behind Torres. Liverpool can play 4:2:3:1.

Look at what the transfer of darren bent to villa has done to their team, boosted them instantly and given them a great win to build on through the remainder of jan to push on into the latter part of the season.

I am hoping that the owners do have an ace up their sleeves and shock everyone with a deal for aworld class player. but there is a part of me that fears they feel the kenny factor is enough till summer.

In regard to Charlie adam, i don't think we need to pay the sort of money holloway is hoping for are we forgetting that both alonso and macherano were both sold for pocket change. we want adam, but i am not sure we need him that badly.

I am losing hope of signing anyone this window. I don't know if anything is done behind closed doors . People will give example of meireles but that was signed by previous owners. Charlie Adams story is not done silently not even suarez and those are targets considered by Liverpool and they have bid for them . I mean people are saying to be positive but everythings backfirind in relation to transfers. No one knows what is going to happen or if there are going to be any signings or not ( this question keeps popping in my head ). Just want time to fly and reach 1st feb with positive outcomes.

This is beginning to worry me now. . .

All the hype of who's gonna sign and nowt happening, I know kk said if theres summit to report then they will but its getting to be like it was before.

We get linked with everyone but get nobody.

We lost out on dennilson, ramsey and wallcott because we wouldn't pay the money.

Now weve lost out to the same club on chamberlin.

Were gonna end up loosing suarez and adam because we won't pay the money, now i know that we have a budget but we won't be saying that in feb if we don't get a striker and torres breaks his leg will we.

The only transfer we will have is proberly Warnock on loan. . . woopy doo.
Why we let him go is beyond me.

Why did we let hammill go, why didn't we resign him for £500k. When he came on he whipped in some decent crosses, more than what kyut and babble has ever done. .

Look im a massive fan have been for over 30 yrs but I am worried, its 24th jan, my birthday in fact and we aint signed or got close to signing anyone, I just hope kk isn't planning on showing he can do it with this squad. .I trust him but we need 2 wingers, centre half, left back and at least 1 striker. . . .

ED's, I for one appreciate all that you do. It's unfortunate that people ask for your insight or opinion and then you take a bashing from others because you don't tell them what they want to hear. I believe all the business is going to be conducted in a manner that the public will find out when it is signed sealed and delivered. The way it should be done. The few that are crying like babies because the club isn't keeping them personally informed are completely insane. We will all know in due time. NESV are not jokes and will conduct it professionally. Sorry for the rant. You guys are great.

If charlie adam handed in a transfer request surely under fifa law if a player is not happy and hands a transfer in they have to let him go and cannot hold him against his will is it true come on the pool put up price hes young and worth it the new alonso"

You got that wrong mate!
It roughly works this way:
Player and agent say we want £60,000 a week.
Club says - no way. We offer £40,000 a week.
They discuss, haggle and settle on a figure of say £47,000 a week. Player says no more than a two year contract. Club says no - they settle for say three years.
AT NO STAGE DOES THE CLUB THREATEN, HARASS OR BULLY THE PLAYER IN TO SIGNING.
So . . when someone else comes in and offers him £70,000 a week a few months later, the club just waves the contract.
Players may talk like small kids (Defoe, Rooney, Rio Ferdinand) but they seem to be 'all there' when it comes to their money.
As much as I would like Adam to come to LFC, I would also respect Blackpool if they said no, dumped him in the reserves and said rot there.
Players need to appreicate that what thye do is work - like the rest of us do - and there are rules.
Imagine him signing for us and then wanting away three months later when Real Madrid came knocking.

If adam can orchistrate the blackpool team just imagine what he could do with the quality aroud him at liverpool. i think he is definately worth a punt. oh and new ed you seem more opinionated than all other eds fair play to u as i don't agree with much that you have been saying recently, apart from WE WILL NOT SIGN SUAREZ

Clarence Seedorf can't get into the dutch national team . While Seedorf is still one of the best midfielders in holland . His experience is priceless and he wasnt even in the squad. o how we needed him in Worldcup final

diO.

That is an awful comparison. Clarence Seedorf is 34 years old and is coming to the end of his career. He has also been capped between 85 and 90 times so im pretty sure he has made it into the Dutch team. Also how could you expected a 34 year old to start over Van Der Vaart, Robben, Sneijer, Kuyt, or Elia. The only one he could take the place of is Van Bommel since he is older as well but he is the captain so good luck with that and they play different positions so it won't happen.

Great site, I have to agree with a lot of people on here, we need to start buying quality, It looks like we are going to miss out on a striker, we have needed one for ages but nothing seems to get done about it, Damien Comolli seems to be a bit of a liability as well, He seems to like talking, but does not really seem to be doing much. And I doubt Blackpool want to speak to him again either.

I know a lot of people here are complaining about NESV not making deals quickly but would you really prefer them to pay inflated prices for players?

and since this is their first transfer window it would set a bad precedent for the summer and so on and clubs would continually demand excessive fees like they do to man city and chelsea.

It's annoying but good! it's all being done behind closed doors, if only more of us actually knew exactly what that is. still an addictive site.

Suarez. . we won't put up the money!
Adam. . . we won't put up the money!
N'Zogbia. we won't put up the money!

So what you are saying is that we must pay double the value of each of those players! if that was your money would you pay £10mill for a player purchased for £500K a season ago?

No you wouldn't and if you say yes you must be in dreamland as i wouldn't pay that!

So fans just make me laugh when NESV bought the club we knew they wouldn't go like Chelski or s* tty. We will be run properly its not their fault that H&G employed a donut in Hodgson, trusted me was their problem but he is gone the King is back and watch the results change! We really only need a striker till the end of the season, and paying over the odds for a player like Suarez who isn't proven in a good league is a risk im glad they are not taking!

There is talk of a new manager at the end of the season. By my reckoning we have paid TWENTY million pounds to get rid of our last three. Being manager of Liverpool is one of the top jobs in World football. May I suggest something new - instead of giving any new manager a contract for two or more years where he can walk off with a big pay-off even if he is a failure (Hodgson) - give him an open contract with something like three months notice on either side. If he is a failure Liverpool can give him three months salary and he can be gone. If he is a success he is less likely to leave anyway (unless the usual vultures come swarming in).

Players will be signed the transfer window, just because we have a bit of money doesn't mean we should spend it on the wrong players. Luis Suarez's asking price has proved too much - and at 35m euros - it is. Yes he had a good world cup, so did Diouf when we signed him. For 35m euros, we could potentially get Keisuke Honda AND Charlie Adam -if in fact we are after them.

With Kenny in charge, we will be signing players who will fit in with his playing philosophy and the Liverpool way, which can only be a good thing.

Here goes, ill try posting this same one again, this is my fourth attempt to post this info, and has yet to make on to any board (i.e rumour or banter)

Everyone seems to be getting slowly dissapointed with lack of transfer activity, now 4 days ago i tried to relay this info to you all,

All this so called "transfer activity" is in fact a smokescreen for what you say, exactly that for nothing.

We like other clubs can be interested and target any player in the world, we can relay this through any channel, we can enquire to any club and they may make it public, But i am sorry to say its the same story as every other transfer window recently, at midnight 31st Jan 2011, you will know exactly what i mean when you and I go to bed extremely pissed off.

What I am saying is this is not so clever way of having us fans believing we have intent in the transfer market, now all our "targets" will slip away and the official line will be that the fees being asked, and the agents involved and the difficulty negotiating with clubs who do not want their players to leave have proven to much of a hurdle in the current window.

In simple terms do bits and pieces it looks to us fans they are trying their best when it is all for show as they have no intention of buying anyone.

all these targets (so called) 7 days of transfer window left and NOT ONE BID. absolutley scandalous.

i say to you all do not fall for the excuses passed out at the end of the window, I seen it coming weeks ago.

(i.e. if sunderland can bid, land , press conference, and play a new player for £18 million all in the space of 3-4 days , that says it all)

phil, belfast

(hopefully this makes the rumour board ed, sure its not a rumour, but i just think everyone should now the truth

{Editor Note: I don't know how many times the editos have to say that every post will get reviewed and posted prived it isn't offensive in any way or contains content we are unable to post. Please stop moaning, we have to put up with enough abuse from the kiddies on here and we have to edit hundreds of posts per day on this board alone.

I totally disagree mate - Holloway needs to stop shouting his mouth-off and bad-mouthing LFC. If Blackpool hadn't come out shouting, nobody would have known clubs were bidding for Adam.

Holloway's just playing the media angle to do everything he can to hold onto his player, (because without him they might go down). To compare this guy with European and World Champion Xabi Alonso. . please. . get real. If Villa bid £4m and so did we - that's surely about his market value with 18months left on his contract, why would we go in with the £10m+ that they want, when for that money we'd be looking at other targets?!?!

"Holloway says put up or shut up and he is spot on!

Suarez. . we won't put up the money!
Adam. . . we won't put up the money!
N'Zogbia. we won't put up the money!"

Don't bank on it. I don't know if these are the three players we will see (although they are the likely targets by all accounts) but the feeling around the club is that our owners want to start making improvements. Once they have agreed targets they will generally get them. Comolli has been instructed to play hardball and get the best deal possible without being held to ransom

{Editor Note: If we pay over the odds for players then it will effect us long-term. When we go in for a player teams will just raise their prices and expect us to pay up.}

I hope the Ed's right about a couple of signings mate we defo need a striker more than anything, never mind a midfielder i.e Charlie Adam.

Did Hollaway not say that he would not stand in the players way? and he deserves to play for a big club ?

{Editor's Note: But Ian Holloway and Blackpool can request what they deem to be the correct fee for the player. It is strange that Holloway was one of the fan's favourites for the Liverpool managers job two weeks ago and many fans, and I am not suggesting you, now see him as a hate figure. I wonder how they would feel if he were maanger and holding out for £50M after a bid of £25M was refused for Torres?}

Hi Ed
I for one do not dislike Ian Holloway , in fact I think he is a breath of fresh air to the prem. However I was unsure about the transfer request rejection. I fully understand the club want more money they always do, but he clearly would not want a player who does not want to play for him ?

{Editor's Note: Right and I expect he will move - but Blackpool simply want the best deal they can get for the player - as Liverpool would if they were selling players.}

All the clubs know our position and have a fair idea that we can pay lots of cash. That's why the offers are getting rejected. We should go overseas and get players at less costs. I know the number of foreign players limits our squad, but what other options have we got.

The fact that we left it that late in getting players will see us signing no one now.
League position at stake and attracting players an issue. don't we have the muscle power these days to get who we want?
i think we are getting carried away by saying that we shall not pay above the market price. if so, than why are we getting rejected on every offer. The market decides on the price and not you as a club. The summer sales will even be higher value than what? I honestly believe we left it too late. Hope am wrong.

"We need players now not by the end of the transfer window as things stand we are going to sign no one. Just pay the money and get Suarez then we could be at least in europa league next season"

You understand the difference between now and the end of the transfer window is only seven days, right mate? And to demand NESV "just pay the money" are the types of panic buys that will have us in financial trouble again in no time. NESV cleared our debt, and not only that, per the Fair Play Rules we can only spend what we earn.

NESV has only been on the job for 100 days, and King Kenny for less than a month, but this is the best I've felt about our club in a really long time. Things have turned and are on the upswing, mate, just be patient!

Does Holloway not understand that with Adams contract only having 18 months to go that his value will decrease not increase! Can't see Pool getting involved in upping bid because Holloway says so, shame as I think he might of added a bit of grit and passing to our team.

Liverpool Rumours
I'm afraid to say that, with every day that passes, I'm becoming less and less sure that we'll sign any quality players. Liverpool's squad is good now, playing the KK style of football, but to really challenge for anything this season, and in the future, we need to add some real strength and depth. Despite this season, I can't see any reason why Liverpool isn't an attractive opportunity for any top player.
For me we need:

Another quality play maker, to take some of the burden off Gerrard, for me Joe Cole just hasn't cut it. its good to see the improvement in Meireles, but i still think we need someone else, like Adam or Yoann Gourcuff but but I doubt he'll leave Lyon. There's still time for the likes of Shelvey and Spearing.

A big physical striker, for example Llorente, to really balance out our attack, Torres is world class, but he needs a big physical player to share the burden. I think they would work incredibly well together.

and a left back, maybe Lahm, whilst not only strengthening the defence we would add pace and an attacking option in going forward, however he is maybe coming to the end of his career. I think a few other options are Coentroa, or Drenthe or Cissokho, all of these three are young, I have seen Drenthe play enough times to know that he is a brilliant prospect, and he is still young!

what do you think Ed? Great site!

{Editor's Note: Drenthe would be a good option but he is out on loan. Coentroa will have other options available to him (Real Madrid, Manchester United). Cissokho could probably be tempted.}

Could Drenthe be tempted over the summer do you think? what about Dennis Aogo? he's another good young talent, as well as Diege Contento, I think all these good young players would really grow and become greats under KK. Do you agree Ed?

{Editor's Note: I know little of Dennis Aogo and Content has only just got his move to the first team (I think this season) so would not be available for a couple of years.}

I can confirm that Liverpool could not reach agreement with Ajax, albeit it was not 30 million Euros. They basically wanted 22 million pounds. We were noit prepared to pay it and on the face of things looks like we may only get 2nd or 3rd choice targets. I am afraid this window looks like it will pass us by with very little happening. Unfortunately NESV are not going to spend and I fully expect Torres to hand in a transfer request in the summer. I for one thought they would at least try and bring in 3-4 strong players to get the team at a level we need to be at to make the top 4 and this is just not going to happen. Very dark years ahead I am afraid, we can only hope a rich Arab buy's these jokers out, as they have no money to get us back where we belong. If you do not spend money you do not win, the stats have proved that for years now.

That's not true mate! We sold Owen to Real Madrid for 8 mill. Then the following season Real wanted to sell him and Rafa would not pay the 16 mill they were looking for him. Can you balme Rafa for not paying 16 mill for him after selling him for 8 mill?

Which turned out to be a shrewd move on Rafa's behalf. As Owen has not been the same player since he left Real Madrid and then Rafa would have been criticised for wasting another 16 mill if he did buy him.

The only concern I have is that if Torres picks up an injury we won't have anything at all up front. This would be the 5th transfer window in a row without a front player which is simply not good enough. It would also question Damian Commolli's role who would not have been able to sign any forward players.

If they really want Adam offer £6.5 mill and no more but stop this messing around.

If Liverpool beat Fulham on Wednesday and sign a couple of players the confidence will be high going into the Stoke game. Another three points and who knows our season we could get on a run.

Come on Commolli pull your finger out

Now if Hodgson was in charge I would be praying for a few new players. But now that Kenny is here I'm quite happy to see what he can get out of the squad until the summer. I have full confidence in Kenny & we will get 6 points in the next 2 games. So let's get to the start of Feb & put all this bull to bed.

Although it is great listening to Holloway selling Adam as the next Alonso! Quality manager, love listening to him!

This is the second time I'll say it (although the first time i wasnt posted! - we will not sign anyone in this window. While we need re-enforcements, we are not desperate. Starting to play better and we have the business sense not to get caught up in over-inflated prices this time of year. Plan is to get KK bedded down into management again, get into the top 7 this season and then start a cleran out / rebuild during the summer once the managerial situation is more clear.

"Isn't it great to see our manager jumping for joy when we score and grinning from ear to ear when we win? Been sadly lacking in recent years. . .if he could play (only age stopping him) I am sure KK would be on the pitch as well!

As for the Sian Massey issue, I thought she was brilliant and hardly put a foot wrong! Shame on you Andy Grey! Maybe we should have all Women officials? I reckon it would stop all the aggression to them from the players and they would get the big decisions right!

{editor: The thing is, what difference does it make what gender someone is? If she is qualified to do a job let her do it. Most referees are terrible in the English game so why are they not criticised? She had a good game, it is only her gender that is attracting criticism.}"

I'm not making a point about her gender and her ability to do the job - sorry if I confused. She ( and other ladies) go through the same tests and training as the guys do so are there on merit. My point about Women refs stands and is not sexist. . in my experience Guys will not be as aggressive to a woman - especially if they are on the tele- and they are JUST as capable if not more so in being decent officials?

Ed, spot on with the money talk. NESV have never said there would be a big transfer budget, only that they would always be looking to improve us and look for players that could do that. They wiped off our debts and have made us profitable again, those profits will build month on month, season on season, enabling us to compete with richer clubs in the transfer market. But lets get it straight, success on the field is the only way to attract the players that will take us forward. Putting Kenny in charge has been a great decision, and he's the man to move us on in the next two to three seasons, calm the crowd, and regain the respect in the media we once had Like it or not its very important that we are talked about positively in the press, just a few short weeks ago we were in danger of dropping off the radar, and linked with Carlton Cole and SWP.

Charlie Adam as we all know now, has just handed in a transfer request. So it looks like he's trying to push through a move to us because he wants to play for us. Now ask yourselves why Suarez has not done the same, if he really wanted to play for us.

Ed we defo need a striker mate who do you think it will be? David Villa would be nice!

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

Somtimes players handing in a transfer request works Ed. My point was that if Suarez was looking to come to us then why not do what Charlie Adam did and show Ajax that he will do anything to play for us.

I know Ajax are playing hard ball on Suarez because of their financial difficulties. But i think that Holloway was right yesterday when he said that selling Adam could cost them 46 mill if they don't stay up. So selling Adam could be a bigger loss to Blackpool financially, than Ajax not selling Suarez.

Blair Mayne YNWA

{Editor's Note: There is a good chance that Ajax simply want more money - perhaps someone else will come in. They will not be expecting to get the full amount. Perhaps someone like Chelsea or Juventus will come in and offer 25M euro and we will see him sold. Only time will tell.}

What you have to remember Darren is when Rafa took over he practically begged Owen to stay and give him a chance. Owen's answer was brief NO and told his agent to orchestrate a move to Real Madrid.

And don't forget that Owen said 2 weeks ago that we were in decline. So i would welcome him back as much as H&G and Hodgson.

Ed? Does the fact that Babel is staying put mean we are not buying a striker in this window! {ed's note - hard to say mate, I would think it has an impact on our plans as it was suggested to Adam that the sale of Babel would enable him to be bought.} Does this mean then Ed that the owners have lied to us and there is in fact no money and we are to sell before we can buy?!

{Editor's Note: Babel decided to not move to Hoffenheim and I don't know of any other offers for him. I am not sure what lie you are referring to from the owners, but I have explained how the process works in response to another post. But the bottom line of most clubs is that you expect transfers to be funded by the club, not by wealthy owners.}

My lie reference is in relation to Tom Werner who said last week that we have resources available to buy players and that we would be expected to purchase some. The point you made Ed is that the Charlie Adam money is only available if we sold Babel. This means there are no resources available and we would have to create them by selling other players. In essence that translates to Liverpool are a selling club, with no resources available, just the current players!

{Editor's Note: A different Ed made the point, but perhaps I can elucidate. The money to be made available will come in the first instance from money generated by the club, which needs to be self-sufficient as we all know. What I imagine Tom Werner was referring to was that monies generated by the club (such as through the sale of a player) could be used for transfers (obviously if agreed on a case-by-case basis as I have already explained). I think if you are expecting NESV to throw enormous sums of their own money in to transfers, you will have a bit of a long wait until that happens. I do however have no doubts that they will provided financing themselves as necessary - but will not want to pay over the odds. I am however afraid you are mistaken if you are thinking that Tom Werner was not being truthful.}

I cannot think of a worse person to be our CEO!
We might as well ask Tom Hicks to come back with George Gillet head of PR, Michael Owen to advise on transfers, Souness to head up our Social Affairs Department and Hazel Blears to handle our budget! !

I reckon the ed might be right about the Suarez deal. I got talking to a director from my local (non-league) club on Saturday about signing players in January. He explained that the massive majority of all transfer rumours reported in the media come to nothing because they are simply false. His point was that there is no benefit to Liverpool in publicising their interest in Suarez, whereas Ajax, with their large debts (and Suarez' agent) have good reason to talk up a deal. It appears Ajax are using LFC and the media to try to spark a bidding war (so far unsuccessfully). If that is true, it will make it very difficult for LFC to reach an agreement with Ajax, as they can't trust their motives. This is why most clubs (except the super-rich) do their business in private (eg Meireles).This, of course begs the question. Who leaked Charlie Adams' transfer request to the media? Not Blackpool, they want to keep him, or drive the price up. Not LIverpool, they don't want a bidding war on him. Agent perhaps?

Liverpool to announce 3 signings on wednesday!
The three signings will be:
Keisuke Honda, Michael Owen and Luis Suarez
Also Liverpool will annouce signing of Stephen Warnock on Saturday evening.

My source: Michael Owen, he is my friend and we grew up together

IF Owen is your friend mate tell him he's not wanted. And would be safer going to Everton were he would have a better chance of getting a game, and would be more welcome.

{ed's note - hard to say mate, I would think it has an impact on our plans as it was suggested to Adam that the sale of Babel would enable him to be bought.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

SO NO TRANSFER KITTY THEN ED?

{Editor's Note: I have said this on numerous occasions, but once more - there is and never has been a kitty or budget for transfers. The manager, coaches, scouts and Comolli will decide what players they wish to go after and put a case for those players to members of the board. The case put forward will explain the benefits that the player could bring to the club and will no doubt deal with financial matters such as resale value after 2, 3, 4 years or whatever. Based on those discussions, the decision will be taken as to whether or not to proceed with an approach to the player's club and a probable upper limit set for negotiations.}

Ed I know you have repeated that a few times, and I'm not arguing, but what then did the potential sale of Babel have to do with buying Adam? Seeing as we did approach Blackpool a case must have been made to the board and then approved, and a figure set in mind as you say. If however the actual payment is dependent is selling first then I agree that what Werner said just the other day is kind of misleading.

{Editor's Note: A different Ed and I explained below that NESV are expecting the club to pay for transfers from within the means of the club - not look for sugar daddy payments from the owners. So if the club gereates money that money may be used on transfers.}

De Telegraaf is reporting that Suarez sought a meeting with van den Boog after training.

The selling club dictates the price, if it's too much we should simply move onto other targets.

Forgive me but i'm not quite sure how you interpreted from my post that i saw him as in any way hard done by, quite the opposite. He signed a contract and it is our duty as a club to make an offer that meets the requirements of the selling club.

Just been looking into the background of a previous posters statement that Brian Barwick is to become our new CEO. .I have no info to back, or dismiss this but have a little info about the man:

Barwick was educated at Quarry Bank High School and then gained a degree in economics at Liverpool University

He is a known supporter of Liverpool F.C. and is a member of the Board of Directors at Hampton & Richmond Borough F.C.

Barwick was named as the chief executive of the Football Association and began the role in January 2005-leaving the post at the end of 2008.

In 2008, Barwick was made Professor of Strategic Management at the University of Liverpool and he now teaches on their Football Industries MBA (FIMBA)

He had worked with the FA before joining as the chief executive, negotiating a number of TV rights deals for both the BBC and ITV. Barwick played a key role in appointing Steve McClaren as England's new manager in 2006, and was later criticised as England failed to qualify for the 2008 European Championship

It was on Barwick's watch that Wembley opened 12 months late, although the venue's many problems had spiralled out of control prior to his arrival.

The figures for the FA's commercial operation on 31 December 2004 – the day before he joined – and 1 January 2008, when he left, also tell a tale. The 2004 turnover was £201.4m; four years later it had fallen to £183.75m.

Info gathered from Wiki & The Guardian.

okay so theres + & -'s in there, what is obvious is that he is very well educated and quoted as ''no one disputes he is a nice guy'' being a LFC fan should also back that up :)!

The reason most players now prefer spain is simple, for the wages. Unless you are Man city or Chelsea we can not compete with wages. The reason for this being for a player to receive the same amount of wages they do in Spain we would have to pay them almost double because of our tax laws they will be in the highest earners bracket and have to pay almost 50% tax on their earnings.

The only other way to get a player with out paying these odds is to actually be winning trophies, that is why Manure still manage to sign quality players and why Arsenal prefer to bring in youth players (they demand less wages).

Hope this has helped.

Charlie Adam as we all know now, has just handed in a transfer request. So it looks like he's trying to push through a move to us because he wants to play for us. Now ask yourselves why Suarez has not done the same, if he really wanted to play for us.

Ed we defo need a striker mate who do you think it will be? David Villa would be nice!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Somtimes players handing in a transfer request works Ed. My point was that if Suarez was looking to come to us then why not do what Charlie Adam did and show Ajax that he will do anything to play for us.

I know Ajax are playing hard ball on Suarez because of their financial difficulties. But i think that Holloway was right yesterday when he said that selling Adam could cost them 46 mill if they don't stay up. So selling Adam could be a bigger loss to Blackpool financially, than Ajax not selling Suarez.

Blair Mayne YNWA

{Editor's Note: There is a good chance that Ajax simply want more money - perhaps someone else will come in. They will not be expecting to get the full amount. Perhaps someone like Chelsea or Juventus will come in and offer 25M euro and we will see him sold. Only time will tell.}

Would be a shame to sell him now and see him performing somewhere else.

I take your point above but why would you believe that the Adam deal was likely only if we sold Babel. Surely, as per your comment, if the board believes that Adam represents a good investment and there is money available then we would make a move, as we have done.

Adam looks likely he'll sign for us for a fee in the region of £5-6 million. Luis Suarez looks a little more unrealistic going by reports this morning and we have been linked with the PSG stiker Hoarau in a reported £6 million deal. In my opinion, we need a top quality striker to play alongside/ cover Torres and of the names we've been linked to, I'd much prefer Suarez. We also have a lack pace right though the team and this is something that Comolli has spoken about publicly. I think a move for a quick, tricky winger is likely with Elia linked to us earlier in the window. Haven't seen enough of him to form an opinion.

Like Kenny has said, LFC will conduct their business respectfully and quietly. None of us know who will come in with the exception of possibly Adam but we defintely don't want to make panic buys if our targets aren't accquired. I would rather see one quality signing this window and then a revamp to the squad in the summer. This season is already a right off anyway.

Ed, I am confused. . The board have said that there is money to spend and that they are looking to increase the money spent on wages, so how can you suggest that Babel going nowhere will have a detrimental effect? If we believe the board then 2 + 2 surely = that they don't need to sell players for revenue or do they need to reduce wages (in other words, 5).

Adam will be ours before the deadline. I just wish he waited until he had had a cracker against the Mancs before handing in a request and disrupting the squad harmony.

The leaky Turkish media has never posted anything about Arda Turan to Galatasaray even if they had how would you read them and the translations make no sense to the original article i know as i read and speak Turkish.
Everything has gone quiet as he has been injured for months.
He has only ever stated he would like to play for a team that wears red in the english premier league hinting at liverpool that is where all the reports have been blowen out or proportion from.
Get your facts right before posting if you are going to act like you know it all.

Although i would love to see Arda at Liverpool he would set us alight however he plays in the hole behind the striker same as Gerrard and Meireles and hates playing out wide like Gerrard also does.
He played wing as a young kid breaking into the team, however the club quickly realised his true position and he has thrived since then.

So, Comolli goes to Amsterdam to negotiate a transfer with 15 million euro in his pocket while the selling club have a 35 million euro tag on the player?
The player has stated publically he wants to go to England, Ajax are in debt and we are desperate for new players. Yet, no deal can be reached? This doesn't make sense at all. A simple phone call could have saved Comolli the trouble of going to Amsterdam. Did we really want this guy? Who in the current market will pay 35 million for a striker who made his name in Holland? I doubt the numbers are accurate. I also believe that if Comolli doesn't sign anyone, he better hold a press conference and explain what exactly his job is. Is it to negotiate for players whose names are mentioned on the Internet? No players will come, a lot of excuses will be made up.

Gutted Fan.


{Editor's Note: Yesterday all of the fans wanted Suarez. And maybe Comolli was simply calling in on his way to Paris?}

To all you posting about Arda Turan all my uncles support Galatasary and are turkish. Through them i know he has been injured for months and only just returned this month that is why we have heard nothing about him lately. He played in the cup match recently but has not returned to the league as he is not yet ready as Galatasaray are trying to bring him back slowly so they do not repeat the Harry Kewell mistake and having him out for 3 months 2 weeks after returning.
We may sign him in the summer but I do not believe we will now even though KK loves him

If we don't get Suarez then so h*ck. Kenny will be happy to use the players we have the moment (just like he said). So keep Babel untill the summer as backup striker/ winger and if we don't sign anyone this window i'll be happy either way. Kenny is in charge and seems to be uniting the players and getting the best from them (even Poulson). He's got Glen playing at LB and doing a better job than he does playing RB, again another example of Kenny's man-management.

So we just use what we've got untill the summer then do a complete over hall. Like i said last night i think we've made our best signing thus far in Steve Clarke.

I actually posted something similar in the summer regarding Geerrard playing a holding role, but if we are lead to believe that Gerrard didn't want to play on the right of midfield then will he want to play as a holding midfielder? Maybe playing both behind Torres will be an option but this would put pressure on the other 3 midfielders ( Lucas, Kuyt & Maxi?), which you might get away with at home against the likes of Fulham etc but not in away games against say Chelsea.

Ps If we do happen to buy Charlie Adam, would you expect that to be the end of Spearings career & Poulsen's short stay?If not now then in the summer?

Gerrard should play where he is told to. I hope it is the end of Poulsen, and I don't believe Spearing is good enough.

At 23 years old, suarez is worth £20 mil.

for christ sake just pay it, and charlie adan is worth 8-10 mil, just pay it, , , , loan warnock, and negotiate nzogbia, job done,

approx 40 mil spent, but will have the team looking more solid.


You have got to be kidding me, Ajax are after closer to £30million for Suarez and Charlie Adam isn't worth anything near 8-10mill. what a narrow minded thing to say, why should be hold to ransom for players that are not that great? ?

Look at the money NESV has just spent on the Red Sox they have money but i agree with them why should that pay over the odds, plus with the King back we are playing decent football again and i truely believe a Europa spot is up for grabs might be a little to far off to get a CL spot, but its about re-building. So why waste loads of money on players worth half that when we have a team that isn't that bad just Roy couldnt manage?? sometimes i wonder about the common sense with some of our Fans!

Even Kenny has said he will not waste money, he'll treat it like it was his own money, maybe Kenny has the money from NESV, last week of transfer window coming up, Liverpool will be offered alot of players this week and the prices for them will come down considerably. I wish we'd signied Messi, Aguero, Llorente etc on Jan 1st but we haven't. This week will be different, it has to be. I believe we will sign a striker not suarez or llorente, but someone from the prem who a club want off there wage bill, my guess is adebayor, jo or pavlechenko - there all tall target men who can play football and with people like adam gerrard and meireles who are all quality passers i don't think any of them would be a bad signing

Re :

Translated from het parool

A delegation from Liverpool who was with Ajax in Amsterdam on a transfer of Luis Suarez to negotiate, this morning returned to England empty-handed.

The delegates from both clubs, including Ajax's general director Rik van den Boog and Damien Comolli, technical director of Liverpool, spoke each morning at Schiphol. There is an unbridgeable gap between the provisional amount of his Ajax striker wants to receive - the club has reportedly deployed at 35 million euros - and that Liverpool will pay.

The difference is so great that there are no agreements on further negotiations. Between Ajax and Liverpool last week was the only telephone contact. The parties were today for the first time. The camp-Suarez was nobody there. In order to get a transfer, the clubs must first reach agreement.

Suarez, who today celebrates his 24th birthday, until mid 2013 is still under contract with Ajax. If Liverpool do his sights set on the future of the Uruguayan, the club has a week to Ajax with a higher offer to get back to the negotiating table. The transfer deadline closes on January 31.

Kenny's actually make me laugh out loud!

This is what he said today:

The boss was also quizzed about the immediate future of Ryan Babel after the Reds accepted a bid from Hoffenheim last week.

Dalglish said: "He's staying."

(Here's the funny bit)

Asked to *expand* upon his answer, he added: "He's staying HERE."

If any of Liverpool's transfer targets know of Liverpool's offers and solid intrest in thier services they should put in transfer requests because it is obvious clubs will try and hold Liverpool to ransom and over price thier players when know the reds want a player. It seems that offers will always be below most clubs valuation for players.
It is up to the players to show some desire to move when that situation arises.

{Editor's Note: That is not how the process works - and the players would lose out financially.}

Players could always make provisions for this in thier personal terms. And if they really want to move to a club given todays massive wages the finances should not be a factor in thier playing career. its not as if prem players are on £300 a week?

{Editor's Note: It will never work - you will end up with a lot of players at clubs who have declared they do not want to be there.}

The protracted Luis Suarez transfer is at a very delicate stage I hear. Ajax want £25m, based on the fees being spent on Darren Bent and Edin Dzeko, and Liverpool have bid £15m. If Liverpool bid £20m they will get their player.

It is great to see Kenny having the media hanging on his every word. His interview after the Wolves match was gold.

Ryan Babel is staying at Liverpool, for now. Liverpool have set a price of around £6m, if a club Babel is interested in comes along he will go, he did not want to join Hoffenheim.

The proposed transfer of Uruguay international Luis Suarez from Eredivisie giants Ajax to English side Liverpool seems to have fallen through as the Dutch side have ended transfer talks with the Reds, according to a report in Het Parool.

A Liverpool delegation travelled to Amsterdam on Monday morning to discuss the possible transfer of the 24-year-old attacker, but Ajax weren't impressed with the Premier League side's offer and Damien Comolli and the other Liverpool representatives returned to England barely two hours after their arrival.

Liverpool seem reluctant to offer more than €20 million to lure Suarez away from the Amsterdam ArenA, while the Dutch side are holding out for a fee in the region of €30m.

If any of Liverpool's transfer targets know of Liverpool's offers and solid intrest in thier services they should put in transfer requests because it is obvious clubs will try and hold Liverpool to ransom and over price thier players when know the reds want a player. It seems that offers will always be below most clubs valuation for players.
It is up to the players to show some desire to move when that situation arises.

Urby Emanuelson has sign for Ac Milan so that "transfer target" is out the window now!

So a good, strong left back is still needed! Probably Warnock! !

Also I believe we need a solid, ball winning centre half and personally I wouldn't mind seeing Chris Samba come from Blackburn as he's looking towards the exit door at a good price, prob aprox 6m

I think Charlie Adam AND Luis Suarez WILL arrive this January and it won't be long before were challenging in the champions league again! (were we belong)

Ha ha i love the way all these people are saying "ive just seen suarez at the airport or at melwood" liverpool fc will sign suarez only if they are interested! If he has come out and said he wants to come to anfield that's great news but that dosent always mean that camolli or dalglish have shown any interest in him at all, i think we have enough money to spend on transfers and wages but the main sticking point is what werner said "VALUE FOR MONEY" liverpool will not be ripped off. I have great confidence in the board, camolli and especially dalglish. I think there will definately be some signings in jan but maybe not a marquay signing. What do you think ed?

I would also go for Aguero. . .I think Llorente is more like Torres who thrives on delivery. . .while Aguero is more like Tevez who can be work horse nd also score goals. . .he would actually compliment Toress. . .am I right Ed!. . .

I thought this was worth noting , if Kenny Dalglish signs Warnock , N'Zogbia and Adam - it will be 3 naturally left sided players introduce to the first team squad .

Perhaps Kenny Dalglish sees this as a necessity for balancing his playing quota .

And , just to add as a sidebar , it is great to be able to refer to the LFC manager again as Kenny Dalglish , rightly offering the level of trust and support deserved by such position .

Ed, who is the current best strikeforce in the prem? Drogba/ Anelka, Berba/ Rooney, VanDerVaart/ Crouch? and do you think Suarez/ Torres would be the best IF the suarez deal was to happen? {ed's note - it certainly wouldn't be the Spurs pair, VDV is excellent but there is no decent partner for him. If you discount form I would say Drogba and Anelka has to be the best, Drogba is completely unplayable at his best, there is no other striker, other than Torres, in the Prem you can say that about. I really don't think Suarez is good enough, Forlan was the better player in the World Cup and he couldn't make it in England. What do you think though? I am guessing you disagree on Suarez.}

Long time reader. .First time poster.

I cannot believe half the abuse on the rumor page. .Are you guys serious? So much for the best and most knowledgeable fans in the world? Sound like a bunch of Spuds and Mancs to me. .You Want the Ajax lad? (Your Welcome Ed! LOL) Great! A goal line cheat. .A biter. Who is next? Carroll, Diouf? Maybe a team full of villains and bad sports. .And, to top it off you spurt catch phrases like 'The Liverpool way.' What are we coming to, and exactly what direction is your 'way' going in? I prefer good football, and good sportsman ship. .The 'Liverpool way' is not CR7 or Drogba falling to the ground every 5 secs when no one is near them. It is falling to the ground to exaggerate a touch ( lol )

On the other hand, I am very happy to see the King lording over all he surveys, and look forward to the end of this transfer period with a squad that includes Honda and maybe Adam.

I do not believe that Adam refused to play, The Gaf said he is more then happy to further the lads career. This rumor just doesn't fit the characters for me. .If proven wrong. .Fair Call.

It will be interesting to see what Kenny does against Fulham on Wednesday when Gerrard is back from his ban. Personally I can't see how Gerrard & Meireles can play in the same team. Neither have the defensive qualities to sit deeper & Meireles can't play on the right & Gerrard apparently doesn't want to. So what does he do?The Irish Rover

He might play gerrard and meireles behind torres and lucas anchoring up behind them. like a 4-3-2-1 christmas tree formation. .thats certainly an attacking formation, great for passing and with lucas in the middle he can retreat back to help the defence when needed. .what u think ed' can they play together?
db9
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Gerrard can easily play a holding midfield role. He is probably the best tackling midfieder we have got. He can pass like Alonso (but not quite the vision) and tackle better than Masch.
You could also play Lucas - Gerrard - Meireles in a 3 man midfield.

MUSHROOM

I actually posted something similar in the summer regarding Geerrard playing a holding role, but if we are lead to believe that Gerrard didn't want to play on the right of midfield then will he want to play as a holding midfielder? Maybe playing both behind Torres will be an option but this would put pressure on the other 3 midfielders ( Lucas, Kuyt & Maxi?), which you might get away with at home against the likes of Fulham etc but not in away games against say Chelsea.

Ps If we do happen to buy Charlie Adam, would you expect that to be the end of Spearings career & Poulsen's short stay?If not now then in the summer?

Honda has come out and said that he is in talks with no club what so ever, and that he's happy to stay with CSKA Moscow. .

Sky Sports News!

All that rubbish about him being in talks with us. . Utter Nonsense! !

A player contracted to any club is not going to come out and say openly he wants to leave or is in talks to other club.

Never seen Suarez play
is he going to be another Kuyt or Babel?
Both were fantastic in Holland and promising purchases
we brought them here and we've seen nothing of their promising things

- - - - - -

I agree Babel is plays football like a drunk seal, but Kuyt has been good for Liverpool over the years. He's a work horse that wee lad. Granted he needs a haircut, but hey. And granted he's a little off at the moment due to long period out with injury but overall, I think he deserves some respect.

Blackpool are having a laugh £10million for Charlie Adam, he isn't worth more then £5million if that even considering they brought him for £500,000 in 2009.

Adam needs to push the matter if he wants to come to us he will never get this opportunity again as if he doesn't sign now, I can't see him signing in the summer as we will have better targets.

Does anyone think we would be better playing 3-5-2 with the players we have (looking at). We have potentially 2 of the best wing backs around in johnson & aurelio. 3 of the best CB around in Wilson, Kelly & Agger (support for greek / carra / skrtel).

Reina
Kelly Agger Wilson
johnson Aurelio
Adam
Gerrard Mereiles
Torres Suarez

We have loads of cover and IMO, this is good enough for guaranteeing euro qualification this season.

I'm not going to be happy seeing Owen back if this rumour is true
why take on a player that is probably gonna sit out injured

i'll be just as unhappy taking Warnock back
he became fantastic at Blackburn
not so much at Villa
not going to do us any gd

if Honda does come, brilliant
more fool him if he doesnt

never seen Suarez play
is he going to be another Kuyt or Babel?
Both were fantastic in Holland and promising purchases
we brought them here and we've seen nothing of their promising things

not keen on the price but we should have bought Bent
he was the leading ENGLISH scorer last season and only played in the Prem, f.a cup n league cup
when you look at Rooney and Defoe who were playing in European competition too
and we left him at home :/

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

on another note, i know he wasnt happy here but has mascherano even started for Barca yet?
i watch them when i can and they are always in control and very attacking as we know so why take on such a defensive player?
their defenders are reasonably attacking minded too
doesnt make sense to me

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

whilst its in my mind also

Insua should be brought back from Galataseray hes better than Koncesky, and Aurelio should play on Left instead of Maxi
Johnson is another one, brilliant crosser; can't get back . should be on the right instead of Kuyt

Lucas is growing on me alot
prob doesn't help that his competition is Poulsen :P

whilst we're in the look for a striker why not try out Amoo he's smashin them in for the reserves
i do like Ngog as he is decent on the ball but he panics in front of goal

Babel should be started up top with Torres in my opinion also

starting to get annoyed also when Torres plays up top alone and is receiving the ball on the left or right
with noone in support
when he should be in the middle
a few times he has had to pull something from nothing with his magical acute angle beauties

Charlie adam is a really good player. just coz he plays for blackpool doesn't mean anything. great free kick taker, great passer, reminds me of xabi alonso. the passes are brilliant (not as good as alonso). i think we should improve our bid and go for him. what do u think ed? ?

also another player who impressed me was adel taarabt from qpr. got some skils, nice passes. im not saying hes a january target but im saying hes one for the future. what do u think ed? ?

Listen lets all use a little sense!
kk plays 4-2-3-1 for the most part
we have a top striker up front
Kyut is fine in the advanced right role , betwen Steve Raul and jonjo we have three excellent center forward mids and they all wouldn't be to bad as the holding mids.
our biggist problem is Maxi on the left the left back spot and we need a good defensive center.
Honda would give us extra strength and depth in the mid as would Adam , mvilla could cover the defensive half .
Turan or young would solve attacking left .
as for the defense who knows . we have a whole host of young talent waiting to come through . sho what i am saying is
1. why do we need the boy from AJAX.
2. if worked correctly our current isn't to bad at all
3 . we have been told by the club they want support for Nando so only expect either an advanced left player or and attacking center mid .
4 lay off the ED, s they know as much as we do so there opinion is as valid as yours and mine
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
you say we need support for torres from the wings and kuyt is fine there. what support does he give yeah he doesn't stop running for 90mins but he loses the ball all the time and can't cross maxi is far more creative and gettin better all the time. Also have you ever thought hes using that formation because its all he can use with the players hes got. hes not going to go 442 with only 1 decent foward

I think the Eds are right, the reason we are haggling over a couple of million for Adam and Suarez is because there must be something else happening? Think about it if these two where our only targets then the 2-3 m in the grand scheme of things wouldn't be such a sticking point?

BUT and it's a big BUT, if there is something else in the pipeline like say a Llorente or Aguero then that 2-3m could be a major sticking point! ! Of course just like the Eds say the money could be for something else like stadium plans or something but hey lets all just keep our fingers crossed it's for a player.

I just want to add, people might say that we won't buy 2 strikers this window, I personally think it would be insane not to, we only have Torres in my eyes and we need at least 4 to compete, with perhaps a couple of kids as well. It would make sense to go out this transfer window and buy 2 strikers, that way they would have till the end of the season to get used to each other ready for next season.

C'mon yonks you know it makes sense, lets have a front 3 of Torres Suarez and Aguero. . . . . you never know we can all dream. . . .

It will be interesting to see what Kenny does against Fulham on Wednesday when Gerrard is back from his ban. Personally I can't see how Gerrard & Meireles can play in the same team. Neither have the defensive qualities to sit deeper & Meireles can't play on the right & Gerrard apparently doesn't want to. So what does he do?The Irish Rover

He might play gerrard and meireles behind torres and lucas anchoring up behind them. like a 4-3-2-1 christmas tree formation. .thats certainly an attacking formation, great for passing and with lucas in the middle he can retreat back to help the defence when needed. .what u think ed' can they play together?
db9
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Gerrard can easily play a holding midfield role. He is probably the best tackling midfieder we have got. He can pass like Alonso (but not quite the vision) and tackle better than Masch.
You could also play Lucas - Gerrard - Meireles in a 3 man midfield.

I would just like to say it's a great site, shame it causes arguments amongst us considering we all support the same team and want the best for our club, still. .I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion! The fact that I'm most pleased about is that our club seem to be going about business in q very good way by keeping it private. So much so that it keeps all of us guessing and regurgitating the same old media stories. I'm confident we will make a couple of signings which won't be bad considering January is difficult to bring people in. KK has dealt with the media superbly thus far and it's refreshing to hear things like "I'm not going to tell you what's going on" in interviews.

As for the Sian Massey issue, I thought she was brilliant and hardly put a foot wrong! Shame on you Andy Grey! Maybe we should have all Women officials? I reckon it would stop all the aggression to them from the players and they would get the big decisions right!

{editor: The thing is, what difference does it make what gender someone is? If she is qualified to do a job let her do it. Most referees are terrible in the English game so why are they not criticised? She had a good game, it is only her gender that is attracting criticism.}

The third goal v. Wolves was not 30 passes. it was 30 passes, then Kuyt managed to f* * up (even though he had 10 yards on his marker), he got tackled and the ball fell kindly to Nando. So it was no passes. not even an assist. . .just saying. .

Great stuff though!

I stated that if he would become a player like Van der Vaart or Sneijder with just the talent Kenny could form him into a lethal striker with vision across the board.do you think the club would favour one over the other. {ed's note - the club will definitely favour one over the other, it will be decided by Kenny and Comolli which player to move for.

Although Liverpool need the firepower that a new quality striker would provide, we also need width desperately.

All this talk of turan and Honda to atletico madrid could mean aguero is leaving and hopefully to lfc, this could happen if the Suarez deal is just a smoke screen.

kenny was laughing when he said he knows about the transfers, but will not be telling anyone, maybe cos the press must have it totally wrong. Honda, turan, suarez! When in fact we will get kun aguero! That would send us back up the prem maybe in contention with 4th.

I'm just (wishful) thinking out loud here, but if Suarez IS just a "Kansas City Shuffle" * Then surely the signing that emerges from the "smoke" would have to be someone more desired by us Reds, like an Aguero or a Turan (or both?)

*
(a "Kansas City Shuffle" is a most clever deception, one that requires thought on the part of the inciter and great ignorance on the part of the deceived. The primary goal of the Kansas City Shuffle is to catch one completely off-guard and unaware so that trickery can take place.)

Ed i think aguero's release fee is now 38 million euros which is about 32 million pounds so 30 million would probably get him. Or we could just bid the extra 2 million then it would be all upto aguero.

Correct me if I'm wrong ed. Is that not how these agreed release fees work when matched by another club it is then upto to the player. {ed's note - yes, if the release fee is met the club have to let him talk to the bidding team.}

As we seem to be dealing with all ongoing and potential signings behind closed doors I wouldn't doubt we end up with none of the players we all keep reading about, but end up with players Dalglish and Comoli rate. They'll target passionate young players who have the mentality that LFC need.

Positions that need refreshing, and my choice of player.

CF: Saurez (personally rate, and only 23)
LW: Turan (Kenny's choice)
RW: Hazard (a must-buy. .)
DM: M'Vila (bite and steel, good passer)
LB: give Wilson a go like Kelly until summer and move for Taiwo
CB: give Youth a chance (Kelly, Ayala, Wilson, etc)

What ya reckon Ed? {ed's note - I am not sure if your choices are the right ones myself, but I do agree with the sentiment. I am not sure about Wilson for left back, why not Mavinga?}

Ello ed, would you pay 30 million for aguero my mate tells me he thinks we will get him like we did Torres under the noses of all the big clubs in Europe. Do think he would fit nesv's profile for long term value at 30 million. Remember when we got Torres all the talk was about villa and silva and then rafa pulled Torres out the hat! I think he is good value at that price. If not him i think we should go for lavezzi, What are your thoughts ed? {ed's note - I would take Aguero if the money is there, the hysteria that would be created, the shirt sales etc, it would pay his signing fee within a year. I think it is a no-brainer, but the problem is persuading Atletico to part with him, they have almost become a one-man team. They look a very average team when he is not playing.}

This is what Kelly (Dalglish) Cates said about Andy Gray and Richard Keys sexiest comments, they made about the lineswonen (Sian Massey) for judgeing that Mireless was onside for our 1st goal. Then it turned out that Mireless was 2 yards onside so was infact the right decision.

“Phew am exhausted, ” she wrote on Twitter. “Just read about something called 'the offside rule'. Too much for my tiny brain. Must be damaged from nail polish fumes.”

Nice one Kelly! Like father like daughter.

PS. I think these so-called experts Gray and Keys should maybe give Miss Massey a call. And ask her to explain the offside rule to them, when it seems they are the ones who are sniffing nail polish fumes.

We are being linked with Horau now incase the Suarez deal is called off ed is he good?

{Editor's Note: This is not a new link by the way. Liverpool showed an interest a few weeks ago, just that it was not publicized so it may just be recycled news or the interest may have returned. He is having jis best season and is on form. He can be a real handfull for defenders.}
