I was thinking about European qualification in this country.

1, 2, 3 get auto entry to Champions league. (creates an elite unbalance in premiership)
4 - go through qualification into Champions League.
5- Goes into the Europa
FA Cup goes into Europa
Carling Cup into Europa


+Now the premiership have a few problems with this system.
+FA cup does not mean that much to teams playing it so they want to take away the magic of the FA draw and seed bigger teams towards the end to bring back the drama.
+Carling Cup is treated like a joke cup by all CL teams. Some mickey mouse cup that the kids can play in.
+ English Premiership - is a Global product consumed in Asia and America, Europe. Eng-Prem would like to Showcase/ market the product overseas by having a live game in December - Games aboard for premiership (at the moment it is totally unworkable in a season -NFL do it)
+ Big clubs want to tap into foreign markets hence the purchase of American and Chinese players. They would like to raise their club profiles in different countries.
+ Europa Cup means very little to the teams that have qualified for the competition. The money isn't enough to help them push towards Champion League football. If anything the Europa Cup weakens a teams domestic chances.

I think the winners of the Europa places eg FA, Carling, 5, 4 place should all fight it out in a Cup competition for 4 place champions league place. The prize should be Champions league place.

4 -
5- Goes into the Europa
FA Cup goes into Europa
Carling Cup into Europa

These 4 teams go into a end of season playoff final that is held in America or Asia or where-ever Premiership want to show case English football. The Winner of the knock out competition gets the Champions league Place.

It a 2 day competition with semi finals played on Saturday 3 pm and 7pm game. It will be great to showcase real Premiership football. Then on Sunday the Final is played. The games will be very exciting before of the short time scale.

This now makes the FA cup and Carling Cup a realistic way for West-ham to get into Champions League. Also the 4 and 5 place become more meaningful for medium sized clubs like Aston Villa, Everton or Tottenham.

Now it has been great that a team like Tottenham got to experience champions league football. The Fans loved it, The Club will have benefited and the World saw that Premiership isn't all about Man Utd.

This system would allow more medium sized teams into the champions league. It would also give Premiership a great show piece to stage in another country. Everyone loves a Play-Off. Americans love the word Play offs.

It would make the FA and Carling cups more serious for teams. Also I think the winner for Europa cup should be allowed entry into Champions league qualification process

This would make the game so much more exciting at the end of the season.

{Ed001's Note - we are hoping to agree a deal with Ken

Are we really ed?
And it is "kun" not "Ken" right? Guess you were just having a laugh

Cheers C {Ed001's Note - no mate, it is defo Ken.}

25 Apr 2011 23:30:54
Hey ed what do you think about berbatov maybe going to Liverpool {Ed007's Note - Honestly, I can't see it happening what so ever TBH, can you?}

25 Apr 2011 23:29:09
Just seen Amoo's goal for Hull v QPR. What a volley, hope it weren't a fluke.

Things are looking up for us!


No one told me he was married, good for him. {Ed001's Note - he likes to keep it quiet, it can put off some women apparently.}

Women can be so picky sometimes.

Phil Jones anyone?

Reckon he'd cost too much cos of his potential ed? {Ed001's Note - Rovers rejected something along the lines of 18m already, but he does look an excellent player.}

Any idea who bid 18 million for him, Ed? My guess would be Chelsea, would be a good long term replacement for Terry. I rate Jones massively. I think he is a great defender already and his disruption is fantastic. Made a couple fantastic runs too.

If Rovers get relegated, they'd surely have to accept a 15 million + bid for him and ATM they are falling like a brick. S

25 Apr 2011 23:02:30
I personally don't think we will sign a Benzema or Aguero unless we close a top name player such as Kuyt, Carroll, Suarez And Gerrard. We seem to be a sell to buy club at the moment.

25 Apr 2011 22:58:27
Anyone in mind? Names?


Anything on Ken Aguero? {Ed001's Note - we are hoping to agree a deal with Ken, he is going to put his next signing bonus towards the stadium and apparently his missus is a dab hand with a needle and is going to whip up the kits. But shhhh about that, it is top secret info!}

RE: When cole signed for us, I was happy for him. But soon it turned nightmare. youn.

Joe Cole is a wonderfully gifted player with lots of technical ability. (born 8 November 1981 in London, England) It doesn't just go wrong overnight and he doesn't have the pace to play on the wing. Attacking midfield= doesn't seem to be able to create space.

I would like to see him trained to play in the center of midfield. Like a Charlie Adams. Im sure he can pick out a pass has a few tricks in his closet. He just needs to play a full season again, but he won't get that chance at afield. If i was him, i would go to Blackpool and let Charlie Adams replace him if Blackpool stay in the premiership. Blackpool love to play football and the team will be build around him. As long as he is guaranteed games in the premiership he will come good. He won't do it at Liverpool

30 - 2010/ 11- 16 (10)
29 - 2009/ 10- 22 (17)
28 - 2008/ 09- 20 (0)
27 - 2007/ 08- 45 (10)
26 - 2006/ 07- 09 (15)
25 - 2005/ 06- 34 (14)
24 - 2004/ 05- 34 (34)
23 - 2003/ 04- 25 (25)
22 - 2002/ 03- 40 (0)
21 - 2001/ 02- 32 (1)
20 - 2000/ 01- 29 (6)

I'd swap him with Blackpool for Charlie Adams. It would workout for everyone. I bet he would get back into the England team if he signed for a smaller team that allowed him to start week in and week out.

25 Apr 2011 22:59:56
We only need a another up and coming striker wiv carrol, saurez, kuyt and ngog !
kuyt is in fine form he is very much an unsung hero
and he is a massive part of wot liverpool do!

25 Apr 2011 23:00:00
Any chance of Lucas from sao paolo Ed? He is class and would be a great attacking midfielder instead of the sh*tty Meireles {Ed002's Note -Most unlikely.}

You sir are an ass-clown the sh*tty Meireles??? I despise so called fans like you.
When I was a kid growing up In Merseyside ( That's were Liverpool is ) we never slagged off our own, well maybe Steve Harkness, but never a player who as been instrumental in our seasons turnaround.

Chears Ed I'll get yeh a bevvy in sometime. {Ed001's Note - Harkness? He is a good friend of me uncle's is Harky. He would have run through brick walls for the club, it was in his heart, shame he didn't have the ability to match the desire.}
Fair do's Ed I saw his other halfs best mate for a bit back in the day like. I was in the West Derby scene lol. Maybe I'm getting mixed up with Nicky Tanner. ;-) {Ed001's Note - he was terrible him, he didn't seem to have the heart either. Easy mistake to make I am sure, didn't he have long blonde hair?}

25 Apr 2011 22:52:58
Whos the most likely out the two IF ONE was to sign Benzema or Aguero? cockoYNWA

25 Apr 2011 22:47:48
Nailed on are charlie adam and james mccarthy. adds cover and a somewhat versatile aspect to the midfield. adding to a tradition british LFC.

eh doh i think McCarthy play for the Rep of ireland

25 Apr 2011 22:28:57
Oright eds, any chance of us signing Lavezzi?
awesome striker, perfect for back-up for Carroll and Suarez. {Ed002's Note - You say it yourself - back-up. Would he accept that?}

25 Apr 2011 22:37:44
Ed's, you always say such and such isn't of interest, which implies you know exactly who is of interest, or at least have some sort of idea (more than everyone else on here). So could you tell us who you know we are interested in, because I haven't read it posted anywhere, rather than people just making suggestions and you saying no. Obviously there is the occasional name that you will say there is interest in, or you'll say we're watching a certain team, but I haven't seen a list of names. It would make your lives a lot easier and we could all learn a little. Thanks. {Ed002's Note - Your rationale is incorrect. Knowing that there is no interest inMessi does not mean that we know that there is interest in any players other than those mentioned I am afraid.}

How can you have the neck to call meireles s**tty, he's been probaly our best player this season and it is his first in the perm,

Excellent, how much will it cost and how do you plan to fund it? These are all important factors. {Ed001's Note - we were thinking of finding a new kit manufacturer and then sell naming rights to cover the rest.}

Ed would u say these are the most likely outs and price we would want:
poulsen 3m
konchesky 3m
degen 2m
aqualani 13.5
el zhar 1m
jovanovic 6m
maxi 5m
insua 5m
darby 500k
cole 3m

they are either all on loan/ old/ not good enough

then a lb lw rw cdm st

DORSET RED {Ed001's Note - I think we would accept a bit less on all of those to be honest, we would be very lucky to get that kind of money, isn't Degen out of contract for starters?}

Come on Ed!He's closer than most! Some poster was selling Degen for £5 million yesterday & £4 million for the greek! Lol

I'd be happy if we only got rid of these & got 4/ 5 players in to relace them. The way that Kenny has get these boys playing & get games under the belt for the youngsters has been nothing short of a minor miracle. Can't wait for the summer.

Hulk is a huge possibility as a versatile attacking option as is juan mata. asking price would ramge from 18-23m for either. carrol as the direct striker and luis suarez and hulk/ mata as a somewhat roaming 2some with the other winger interlinking. this could possibly be young.

as many of you have noticed since the ethos of kennys play has started to come to effect, the midfield wingers and forward line are swappin and changing positions in various times throughout the game covering and linking with good understanding. expect this to be so with clever players being brought in,


nailed on are charlie adam and james mccarthy. adds cover and a somewhat versatile aspect to the midfield. adding to a tradition british LFC.

liverpool would not even consider joey barton, he is a very talented player on form but lets face facts he is one very hated man on merseyside and is not especially like by SG or carra.

A Young is a funny situation, he is believed to want to move to either of LFC or manure this will remain up in the air until something official is announced.

the alternative is taarabt. . he has undoubted quality rated highly by DC however it is also known he will be a risk. . but as a direct replacement for joe cole this could be shrewd.

LB is a toss up between baines and cissokho. expect the latter.

outgoings will be excessive. but expect alot of the deadwood ege degen, el zhar n co to leave for very nominal fees or even frees. ppl quoting 5 m for nabil are living in another relm. wage structure has been reviewd and will be sorted with extreme effect.

as of talk for a new CB cahill has been touted but for the excessive fee requested there will be no movement by us. expect Martin Kelly to be moved over should G Johnson stay. he is a CB by nature and would adapt well increasing oppurtunities for flannaghan and creating superior options all over.

this holds no source value. but i happen to know how common snese preveils. .

im a nearly there man- former reds reserve player. i just hope my input is valued.

Hey ed
What is this abvout one or more eds being female.

Ha hah anyone else see that post on the arsenal page? novel

yeah, I read some of it, its actually very amusing. . some bloke having a right rant & rave about the gooners and arsene wenger. Its laden with four letter expletives!

well worth a read. .you can't miss it cos the poster didn't bother to word wrap the text! lol

25 Apr 2011 21:53:43
Sorry to bug you, is that a matter of days? A week? Or several weeks?

Thanks. {Ed002's Note - Not bugging us at all. We are planning on the 2015/ 2016 season for starting this.}

Nice and efficient. When do you expect planning permission to be granted? {Ed001's Note - probably sometime about 2017.}

Excellent, how much will it cost and how do you plan to fund it? These are all important factors. {Ed001's Note - we were thinking of finding a new kit manufacturer and then sell naming rights to cover the rest.}

WINGERS

Forget Lennon, indeed a pace machine but way too inconsistent with his final ball although it has improved slightly. I don't think I'd want him at Liverpool anyway to be honest after the whole incident with Bale and him slagging us off a while back if my memory serves me correctly.

Adam Johnson. Great player who uses his brain to beat a man, pace, flair, consistent crosser, shooter, left footed and a good engine. Looks disgruntled at City judging by his reaction to being subbed tonight, although you cannot judge his overall mentality due to one such instance, granted.

I would go for Ashley Young too if we're looking at British wingers. A lethal player on his day, pace, finishing, set pieces, skill but inconsistency rears its head again, but the move and working with Kenny/ Steve may do him good I could see him improving into a great player.

I would also go for Matt Jarvis as a backup winger. A little rough around the edges but his performances are pretty solid in a weak side plus he fits the bill and his England callup wasn't for nothing!

Jarvis and Young have been talked about plenty and Johnson a fair bit too, but ed(s), seeing as our owners are prepared to spend/ bid big on young talent, (Micah Richards in January £20mil?), you think we could possibly have a chance if we enquired about Johnson?

The A man {Ed001's Note - hard to say, the problem is twofold, for one would City be willing to sell to us and secondly would he want the move. For all we know he could have been disappointed with himself and his performance more than the substitution. Hopefully we will at least test the waters.}

25 Apr 2011 21:54:35
Phil Jones anyone?

Reckon he'd cost too much cos of his potential ed? {Ed001's Note - Rovers rejected something along the lines of 18m already, but he does look an excellent player.}

lb - ansaldi*, insua, robinson
rw - payet*, wijnaldum*, eccleston
cdm - lucas, matudie*, spearing
cm - gerrard, meireles, another signing*
lw - perrotti*, maxi(50%), ince
fwd - suarez, hulk* , pacheco
striker - carroll, kuyt,

seven signings*

1. 1 lb - £5m
2, 3. 2 rw - £8m both
4. 1 lw - £12m
5. 1 cdm - £8m-£10m
6. 1 cm pos (defour) - £10m
7. 1 fwd pos (hulk) - £25m

around £80m

going out
cole - 2-3m or release
jones - 850k
degen - 2-3m
el zhar - 2m
amoo - -850k - 1m
irwin - 850k - 1m
darby - 850k - 1m
aquilani - 12m
poulsen - 2m
jova - 5m
suto - free
ngog - 5m
aurelio (50%) - release
Maxi (50%) - 3m

= either 30m or with the 50 % around 33-35m

spending 50m take away player sales
spending 30m take away standard chartered sponsor
spending 0m after using money generated by the club by selling shirts, tickets etc. . that was wasted on paying annual interest fees to RBS

To Ed002 for this -
{As of yesterday it seems much more likely that Pastore will be leaving Palermo this summer. We are looking at a fee of 60M and up)

1. Who could possibly pay such an amount for young nd still inexperienced player. . no doubt he is a good player bt isn't such a figure too much. .

2. Today I had a word with a friend over in France who said Liverpool is close to signing a 17 year old talent. . didn't know the name of the player bt said deal is almost done. . .any idea who it might be or if u can have a look at it. .

{Ed002's Note - (1) Manchester City may have an interest in Pastore - amongst others. (2) I have heard nothing but will enquire.}

25 Apr 2011 21:41:11
When cole signed for us, I was happy for him. But soon it turned nightmare. I still think he has two good years of football. I mean he can be a good squad player for us by taking a wage cut. He scored 2 goals for us coming from bench. Maybe he can be like Benayoun.

25 Apr 2011 21:33:11
Adam Johnson wasn't happy coming off. We should defo put a bid in! !

Forced their PLAYER Gibson out of twitter- -ha ha.
Here's some comments (i.e. abuse) to their own player.

"Team do all hard work keeping possession then you hit row Z every f****** time! don't shoot you'res***"

"You are an abysmal excuse for a footballer. You're a one trick pony a s*** one at that. What Fergie sees in you I don't know."

"Your f***ing awful, get out of the club."

"You are s***, Fergie will sell you off in the summer"

Ed's, have you guys thought of maybe starting a players percentage tab with the list of players we linked with and chance out of 10? Could just update that when you guys have any new info.
Would save answering the same rating questions over & over. . Sure the journo's would love it too. . {Ed001's Note - we are looking to do something along those lines.}

It's a good idea, any idea of a time scale for it? Just to keep us updated. Cheers. {Ed001's Note - I don't have any idea sorry, it will depend on work, if work is quiet it can be done quickly, but if work is busy it will take a while.}

Ed thommo on rawk says we made a bid of 28m pounds for aguero in january do you think its true and could we make another bid for him in the summer. cheers eds

{Ed002's Note - It is tough to see what Liverpool would do with Aguero? I expect the player to go to Real Madrid with Chelsea a slight possibility. If he came it would make the side very narrow indeed, unless Carroll was dropped to the bench. So it remains unlikely to me.}


- - - - - - -

but surely if we get another striker all three would have to compete to be in the starting line up and therefore 1 will get dropped why couldn't i be carroll? why does he HAVE to be in the startin 11. . why can't he compete like the rest of the team would have to, like carra-skrtel when agger is fit, johnson-kelly, gerrard and meireles? {Ed001's Note - no one is saying he can't be dropped, but there are more important positions to fill than buying a hugely overpriced player on even bigger wages who is an almost exact replica of Suarez. It would make more sense to buy a different type of striker to give us options.}

25 Apr 2011 20:52:07
Ed's, have you guys thought of maybe starting a players percentage tab with the list of players we linked with and chance out of 10? Could just update that when you guys have any new info.
Would save answering the same rating questions over & over. . Sure the journo's would love it too. . {Ed001's Note - we are looking to do something along those lines.}

25 Apr 2011 20:49:05
Reading about Charlie Adam and David Vaughan on the banter page reminded me that we have apparently requested scouting reports on right sided Blackpool player, Phillips, [not sure of his first name! ]. I understand that three separate reports have been filed, but this does not imply that any bid is imminent, just that we are keeping tabs on his progress. I'd be happy to hear from anyone who knows what he is like as a player.

degen 2m
aqualani 13.5

jovanovic 6m

they are either all on loan/ old/ not good enough

To Ed002 for this -
{As of yesterday it seems much more likely that Pastore will be leaving Palermo this summer. We are looking at a fee of 60M and up)

1. Who could possibly pay such an amount for young nd still inexperienced player. . no doubt he is a good player bt isn't such a figure too much. .

2. Today I had a word with a friend over in France who said Liverpool is close to signing a 17 year old talent. . didn't know the name of the player bt said deal is almost done. . .any idea who it might be or if u can have a look at it. .

Do you think Liverpool could make a successful bid for Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata? He is 18, and has a great future. Seems like Mourinho wants to keep in but reports have suggested he has a 10mil buy out clause.
- - - - - - - - - -

I'd love if we went after this kid. He's like a young version of Torres but with more tricks in his locker and more pace. Every Real fan I know says he's the new Raul and there's no way they would ever sell, but I really doubt the boy's stupid enough to stay at a team that will more than likely place Aguero, Llorente and Higuain in front of him come September.

I think he'd be worth a gamble - at least better than buying Wickham for £10m who's unproven even at Championship level, Morata has averaged nearly a goal-a-game whenever he's played for Spain's youth teams and a goal every two games in the Segunda division for Real Castilla.

Manutd fans forced their PLAYER Gibson out of twitter- -ha ha.
Here's some comments (i.e. abuse) to their own player.

"Team do all hard work keeping possession then you hit row Z every f****** time! don't shoot you'res***"

"You are an abysmal excuse for a footballer. You're a one trick pony a s*** one at that. What Fergie sees in you I don't know."

"Your f***ing awful, get out of the club."

"You are s***, Fergie will sell you off in the summer"

(What a shame! )

****************************
I'd hate to see Christian Poulsens Twitter page so :D

25 Apr 2011 19:50:13
Liverpool FC keeper Brad Jones is top of Fergie's summer wish list as the long term replacement for retiring keeped Edwin Van Der Sar. at the age of 28, he has at least 12 years service left, and Manchester United scouts were at the Jamie Carragher testemonial match to see him in action. Unfortunatly they have not see him play again. He would cost around 25-30 million + Nani, and although Kenny Dalglish is reluctant to let his star man go, a deal could be concluded prior to the opening of the summer transfer window. Heard from a VERY reliable source.

Heard it here first.

Ed, if you had to choose 1 realistic winger and 1 realistic left back, who would you choose?

CL x {Ed001's Note - I am hoping I am right in that you are just asking me to pick players I would choose myself rather than who I think will be signed. In which case I would go for Cissokho or Jose Angel for the left back slot. Probably Payet for the wing, mostly because he is right sided and I would say that is priority being as how we have Sterling to come through on the left next season.}

Payet is off to PSG, Matuidi is off to some Italian Team (I think Napoli?). So anyone who says them in their rumours, take the rumour with a pinch of salt because it won't be true. Hulk is Man City bound, as are Snejider and Sanchez. Hazard should join Arsenal. De Gea and Rodwell off to Utd. We will get Young, Adam, Enrique, Dzsudzsak and Cahill.

25 Apr 2011 19:10:21
I think with Clichy's contract only having 12 months to run come the summer that he would be a good signing for around 7-8 million tops.

He's still very young and a reasonable price too.
Convincing him to move to a club without champions league qualification might be the stumbling block for him.

25 Apr 2011 18:16:21
No, mate, I wasn't trying to put words into your mouth - or "fingers".
Perhaps the wording was incorrect.
You certainly didn't make any list of players who're likely to be sign for LFC summer.

Thing is, I've watched folks pose questions to you and make player-suggestions. You gave your honest opinions, on a case-by-case basis.
Those lists I compiled were a collection of those responses/ opinions.

Let's redo it.

{Ed002 s Note I have taken a shot at a few answers as well. Glad someone is keeping score.}

NO CHANCE: Subotic, Sanchez, Hazard, Neymar, Lamela, Eriksen, Pastore, Lukaku, Ganso

{Ed002 s Note There is a chance of Lukaku if Liverpool were to pay Anderlecht s asking price of 30M. This is what other clubs have baulked at. Subotic is being listed as not for sale by his club although he remains very much a long-term Chelsea target. Sanchez situation is clear and I don t think I need to say it again at this juncture. Hazard does not want to come and there is certainly no interest in Neymar. Roma and Atletico are on the trail of Lamela and there may be issues surrounding partial ownership that keeps him out of England for the immediate future if I had to take a punt I would say Palermo might prove to be a destination that is acceptable to all parties. As of yesterday it seems much more likely that Pastore will be leaving Palermo this summer. We are looking at a fee of 60M and up. Ganso will probably head to Inter or Milan, with perhaps interest from Barcelona changing that. If there were a surprise signing from this group perhaps Lukaku.}

EXTREMELY UNLIKELY: Aguero, Hulk, Griezmann, Coentrao, Cissokho, Mata, Santon, Sahin, Lucas (Sao Paulo), Gourcuff, Pjanic, Hamsik,

{Ed002 s Note I expect Aguero to go to Real Madrid with Chelsea a possibility. Outside chance of Hulk but seems very unlikely. Again an outside chance of Mata who could be a surprise and marquee signing but seems unlikely.}

UNLIKELY: Benzema, Taiwo, Banega, Canales, Krkic, Manuel Vargas, Honda, Turan, Barrios, Wickham, Bastos

{Ed002 s Note Well my views on Benzema are well documented, it remains unlikely and sure as hell never all but done . Taiwo s name keeps coming up and aside from there being little or no interest from the club and the player declaring an interest in other clubs (notably Benfica), I don t think he is Liverpool quality . Canales will probably not be sold but a year on loan is a possibility, but Real Madrid would want him in the starting line-up. Turan seems to be heading to Atletico Madrid or Valencia and Liverpool failed to go after Honda when the opportunity arose. Wickham could be a possibility but would he want to hang out on the bench?}

The following are players you've deemed "possibly likely to very likely". I'll just group them together, won't categorise (the likelihood).

POSSIBLY LIKELY TO VERY LIKELY:
-Sakho
-Cahill
-Dann
-Kjaer
-Monreal
-Musacchio
-Rolando
-Criscito
-Wendt
-Enrique
-Baines
-Izaguirre
-Pranjic

-Elia
-Payet
-Marveaux
-Young
-Willian
-Jarvis
-Dzsudzsak
-Jeffren
-N'Zogbia
-Afellay
-Sissoko
-M'Vila
-Matuidi
-Defour
-Adam
-Martinez
-Gago
-Llorente
-Gervihno
-Horoa
-Toivonen
-Ricky van Wolfswinkle

{Ed002 s Note Yep and there are some very good players in this list.}

There are obviously others who've been discussed, but probably nothing firm. Claudemir, Kadlec, Kayal, Hummels, Marin, Cazorla, Clichy, A Johnson, Richards, Perroti, Hernandez, Navas, Mertesacker, James McCarthy, Jones, Downing, Albrighton, Lass Diarra, Kranjcar are some.

{Ed002 s Note Right. Again some good players. A warning against Diarra for baggage and nuisance factor . Perroti is an interesting option as well.

And you're right, there're some other good players who've not been that mentioned, or not mentioned at all. E.g.

-Vertonghen
-Lahm
-Albiol
-Dawson
-Sneijder
-De Rossi
-Giussepe Rossi
-Pato
-Goetze
-Morata
-Hernanes
-Nilmar
-Modric
-Leon
-Dzagoev
-Vidal
-Munian
-Nasri (YES, HIM)
-Handanovic

I've a feeling that you'll rule out Sneijder, Pato, Nasri, Lahm, Dzagoev, De Rossi, Hernanes, Goetze, Modric and Leon. . for your own (well-documented) reasons, and that's fine. We all are entitled to our opinions.

{Ed002 s Note I would not rule out all of them. Someone asked about Sneijder earlier and I would only drop him from being a good chance on the basis of I am not sure Liverpool are looking for such a player. Dzagoev is a most interesting thought and there is very serious interest in the player from an English club (not Chelsea) as I explained to Ed001 about a month ago. I don t know if it is Liverpool of course, but may be a really interesting option. To be fair, I think Pato is out of the loop and I guess most would agree. Hard to see Goetze moving this summer. De Rossi, Henanes, Modric and Nasri would all be great signings that I have given no real thought to. There are not obvious arguments against any of them though. Pedro, perhaps an outside chance remote.

So, in summary, players that Ed002 believes won't be donning the red of Liverpool next season:

-Subotic
-Cissokho
-Coentrao
-Lahm
-Albiol
-Santon
-Hazard
-Pastore
-Sanchez
-Eriksen
-Aguero
-Goetze
-Sahin
-Pjanic
-Hamsik
-Ganso
-Mata
-Neymar
-Hulk
-Sneijder
-Griezmann
-Lukaku
-Lamela
-Lucas
-Gourcuff
-Modric
-Dzagoev
-De Rossi

As you can see fellas, these are all top players. And it could very well happen that none of them join. Whether that'll be a good thing or not only time will tell.

Ed002 is a reliable bloke, so he could be right in saying we not interest in many of those players, and those we interested in are likely to knock we advances back as they'll have, to quote the man himself, "better options".

Well, for me, I'll trust KK. Whoever comes and doesn't summer, we'll be back in the top 4 next season. I MEAN that.

Hey Ed's

Been watching Flannagan very closely and he reminds me so much of a young Steven Gerrard. Stevie started at right back also but its just his movement on/ off the ball, his passing and the fact he likes a tackle. I would not be suprised to see Flannagan put into centre midfield possibly not now but certainly in a couple of years. What are your thoughts?

Adzii {Ed001's Note - Gerrard did not start at right back, he came in and covered there like Shelvey did at left back, but he was never going to be anything other than a midfielder.}

{Ed002's Note - Kevin Keegan? Didn't see that coming.}

No, it's not Keegan, and mostly certainly not King Kenny. That's Kaka Khaledze, mate, Lol!
Anyway, thanks for that comprehensive response, the enlightening I've seen you give.

I just about echo your every sentiment. The fact of the matter is that certain players are simply NOT going to come.
But that DOESN'T mean there won't be good players capable of taking this team to the top.

Sakho, Izaguirre, M'Vila, Defour, Payet, Marveaux, Elia etc are very gifted players and wouldn'd cost us over £18m each.
But the potential they have means that they'll be ABSOLUTE bargains.

Should they come, I give you a max of 2 years, 2 years before they're "stars".
Just look at Vidic, Evra and Adam Johnson. Were they "star players" when they arrived at their respective clubs? No. But look at them now.

Even Valencia (£14m/ £16m) has proved an excellent signing. A very effective player.
I'm sure that a Dzsudzsak (£12m/ £13m) would do as good a job as Valencia does for United.

I seriously and genuinely believe that Dzsudzsak, Elia, Marveaux, Payet would be more than good enough to compete with and tear the ass off any defence. After all, football's a team sport . . hence United with their "worst" individual talents in years are sitting at the top of the table, miles ahead of City, who have the "best" individual talents in the Prem, the most horrible of teams.

Or am I oversimplifying things here, ed? Lol!

Folwer Bless Ye All {Ed007's Note - Keep your paws off Izaguirre lol}

25 Apr 2011 18:49:03
We need a quick, skillful winger. That has been our weak spot for the last 10 years. All the big clubs have wingers. .

Manu- Nani, Valencia.
Chelsea- Malouda
Barcelona- Messi, Pedro
R Madrid- Ronaldo, Di Maria
Tottenham- Bale, Lennon.
Bayern Munich- Ribery, Robben.
ETC.

LIVERPOOL- Kuyt and Maxi.
None of them have pace.

Players that we should look at:

A. Sanchez 35m
A. Turan 12m
E. Hazard 24m
Hulk- 25m

Liverpool have now scored in 16 consecutive Barclays Premier League games - the best run of any top-flight side this season. (Opta)

Our form on last 6 home and 6 away games is 26pts

Utd - 25pts and Chelsea - 29pts.

What an interesting season we have next year -and we've got more player's to come in!
****************************
Lets not get carried away guys. We still need 4-5 top players for next season. Chelski will not be as bad next year (and will buy half a new team), ManU even with their old mugs are always around and City have to start gelling as a team (unless they buy another team again. I think Arsenal and Spurs will fall behind next season - just a hunch.

What do the Ed's think?

I honestly can't see how so many fans don't agree with this bloke. Yes Wenger has done many good things, but he has completely lost the plot. Like a Rafa where his stubborness is put ahead of the clubs best interests.

What about this for a starting 11 next season

That's 12 players mate. Maybe if you have a back four of Johnson, Kelly, Agger and your mystery left back instead of a flat back three, it might work. That would be a very fast and footballing back four.

Begun this around 2007/ 2008, and there is so much more, which proves how bad and repetitive everything has become. And a c**t of a manager and Club who's star player in Fabregas wants out from this shower of s**t because of the crap he is surrounded with and lack of ambition and lack of silverware, refuses to strengthen to show him and It's fans that they mean business. Too busy making money for themselves.
People say Fabregas signed a long term deal a few seasons back, and should honour it and no-one forced him to.
More like Wenger manipulated him into signing it, and promising all this s**t like he tryed in vain with Henry. Now, Fabregas isn't young and naive anymore, he's realised the bulls**t. Chugging along, playing his heart out, and noticed it is all one-sided and flawed.
The Club's a laughing stock. Sooner it goes tits up, and Arsenal learn the hard way, the better. The more c**ts who re-new their season tickets (mainly the Wenger brigade) etc (and yet still complain), is the reason the board and Wenger get away with it continually. Like a drug addict, if he refuses help, the only way they'll learn if they do, is to f*** themselves up and learn the hard way.
f***s me off something chronic, when die-hard idiots defend Wenger because he changed that, because he changed this. Errrr. One major flaw with that. What has a successful past got to do with a s**te present?! Brian Clough bought success to Forest then got them relegated. Prime example of making and breaking a team. Stayed too long. If Arsenal win nothing much within the next 5-6 years, you'd still get w**kers defending Wenger because he changed the dietary methods 20 years ago, and won league titles 15 years ago etc etc. Remarkable. The fact he also inherited from Graham, the winning mentality, defensiveness, power and strength from Adams, Keown, Bould etc who passed it on to Vieira and co. makes you wonder if he'd of won anything. Not taking anything away from his success', but seeing now how poor Arsenal have been for ages, no drilling for the defence nor fighting and "When the going gets tough, the tough get" going attitude. Whole situation stinks!
A man too, who claims "We SHALL win a trophy this season!" yet "throws" and shows utter contempt towards competitions i.e. FA Cup and League Cup, in favour of the more "bigger" prices/ competitions, in which they never come close to winning neither, so completely, and utterly, pointless!
Get somebody else in to give it a chance and take us back to the heights Wenger can no longer do. Or WON'T do.
Someone who hasn't won a pot for years, in a position to chuck any competition under no pressure from the board is way beyond words. Lack of squad depth? Who's to blame for that then?
I used the same scenario once before. If your married for example of 20 odd years and your wife has bought you so much happiness and changed your life etc etc, and one day you found out she was f***ing other guys recently, you gonna defend her and keep a hold of her because of the happy past? Or are you gonna consider the present and cut your losses? Maybe you'd work something out, well, Wenger has had 5 years. Plenty of time to deliver but hasn't. In football, you judge someone in the recent past and present to be fair. And Arsenal's last few seasons have been in general, s**t and trophy-less. Wenger takes the plaudits when we were successful, now he has to take the majority of blame for the ultimate failings
In small doses, maybe he has done well finishing in a CL position year after year with this squad that is s**t.
But then it is s**t because he has FAILED to build upon the squad year after year, and ultimately, has won f*** all. And a total disgrace being offered a new contract of at least 6 million quid a year AND a 20 per cent pay-rise on top of! Hill-Wood the prick, saying in regards to Gallas' contract, how players need to know the value of money, and realise that money doesn't grow on trees. Total contradiction and disgust!
And again, any top draw manager could finish at least 4th at WORST with this squad. But then, it would be inaccurate to say that anyway, because any decent manager who came in would add/ replace players significantly in order to achieve success. At least make an attempt. Not buying success, but spending what is required and building upon the squad currently.
Fact of the matter remains. Regardless of CL qualification. 5 years without nothing and no progress whatsoever. Taken 5 years to try and build a top draw squad with which there is no end product. The squad doesn't even look convincing. Weaker every summer.
10 per cent doing well in CL qualifying, 90 per cent s**t on the whole for underachieving and winning s**t. I could be manager of Arsenal and win s**t for 5 years, anyone could. I might miss out on a CL place, but then if Wenger did, I doubt he would STILL not get sacked! I sure as s**t too, bet Wenger would spend money more if it was the top 2 only who qualify for the Champions League! 4th at worst is a comfort zone. He said himself once, that it should only be the "Champions" in it. Yeah, easy to say that when he use to win the Premier League. Something which was years ago and never to be repeated again under his reign.
Oh, and maybe stability breeds success. After-all, look at the incredible success and trophies Dario Gradi bought to Crewe after so many years of being manager!
People also brand Wenger a genius. Truth is, the bloke is an idiot! Why would a genius make the same old simple and many mistakes eh? Bunch of Wenger (magic) asshats. And does a so-called "genius" go a total since they have been at a club of around 8 years without a trophy?! And does a genius who has had such wonderful, world-class players at their disposal have such a s**t general record in Europe and never won a CL and back-2-back league titles?!
Bloke wants to admit defeat, gain respect by f***ing off to Japan or France and take the board of directors with him. Prove how "good" he is by building a young/ youth team with a small club over there for peanuts. Then if he makes them world-class, THEN we can say he is a genius. What a prick. f***ed Arsenal just like he did with Monaco. In fact, even worse. At least they had the balls to drop kick him into touch where they replaced him with Tigana. Who went that extra step and signed the right players in order to achieve success. Same as the great George Graham said on his arrival as Arsenal manager: "If you can't think big, or act big, at a club like Arsenal, you may as well crawl under the carpet ." Wenger needs to crawl and rot under his Aubusson! It was a shame the board never shared Graham's ambitions too, restricted to a shoe-string budget and strict (at the time) wage policy which got thrown out the window when he was sacked. If the board bent over backwards for Graham like the c**t Wenger now, he would of been even more successful!
Thinking there is a conspiracy against Arsenal also is typical of being a c**t and when decisions etc go against him. Should take a long hard look in the mirror and closer to home. Always someone else's fault.
It amazes me why people continue to defend this man to the death. He is seriously f***ing up Arsenal, to a point, if he did leave, no world-class players would want to join Arsenal anyway. Won't ever change under Wenger. All true and the truth hurts. With a French git who speaks such s**t and thinks The World is against Arsenal.
That is why I dislike Wenger, not just because of the lack of success recently, it is the refusal to learn from the ultimate, simple a lot of the time mistakes, and the constant "bigging" up of his team when they aren't good enough, and the repetitive s**te he continues to spout. Whatever he once achieved at Arsenal is history. He will be remembered as the maker and breaker. Most successful manager, but also the most under-achiever. Fact!
Wenger said in the summer of 2005, when he sold Vieira, he had a "Masterplan" and "Trust me". I guess that that plan and the trust in him, was to finish with f***-all 5 seasons on the trot, whilst watching your fiercist rivals sweep the lot between them. How wonderful. The c**t's ego is writing checks his body can't cash ("Top c**t") and he is a skinny f***er too. Starved of success. Whilst everyone else involved with The Arsenal (mainly the fans) has to suffer.
Seeing United and Chelsea etc win s**t, you'd think would agonize and make Wenger etc more determined to do something about it. Particularly as he stated himself he hates losing. Wouldn't of thought so based on recent seasons
Wenger apologists always point out we were "s**t" before Wenger came along and were a "mid-table team", which has a whole is utter s**te, because it was only around twice (1993 & '95) we were mid-table.
1993 and 1995 was the only real time in recent years prior to Wenger we were mid-table, but ultimately, still a VERY successful side. Second most successful era/ period since the 1930′s.
In 1993, we still won a cup double which was a first in those days, so not at all a bad season and was a fantastic triumph when the League Cup meant something back then. So in fact, it was only really 1995 (still reached CWC Final again and unlucky) and 1996, we had 2 s**tty seasons we had until Wenger came along. In fact, Graham himself, only finished outside the top 4 like 3 times in his 9 seasons or so he was at Arsenal.
People are also quick to harp on about how we wouldn't even be where we are today without Wenger. Damn right about that! Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Same people, however, aren't as quick to notice that the past 5 seasons, which have been s**t, are also thanks to Wenger.
After 2004, it is sure s**t to be an Arsenal fan. Maybe as well, we don't have the funds to get players in (although we all know we do which has been proven) because of the new stadium etc. Well, if that's true, sounds like a right hash job and not thought through enough, with crippling debts. Might be good for the future, but by then, probably be a lower division side. Yet again, you can blame Wenger, seeing as he was the one behind the new stadium and the one with the "vision". Not to mention the disgraceful wage bill which is one of the highest around, particularly in England. Paying over-rated crap which aren't good enough, nor win anything PERIOD. Total f***ing shambles. Even for a small amount, you telling me there isn't an affordable batch of players how there, better than Diaby, Denilson, Silvester, Eduardo et al?!
Wenger himself, one of the highest paid managers in World Football, on at least 5 million per a year, to win f*** all, and be under no pressure to deliver at all. Even more than Ferguson at United. Money for nothing.
Building a bust for the bloke as well, when he is still at the Club and completely over-rated, and single handedly destroyed his own Legacy he created.
Brilliant times tho eh? After we won the FA Cup (undeserved playing negatively and s**t, something Wenger hates and slates other clubs who do that against us whom we struggle) in 2005, we have had to watch Liverpool, Chelsea and inparticularly, Man United sweep the lot between them, i.e. CL and the PL. What a wonderful place to be in! And people reckon us Arsenal fans are spoilt! What the f*** does that make United and Chelsea fans then eh?! United dominated the 90′s, and now the 2000′s!
And who can forget Avram Grant, reaching his first CL Final in only a few months, someone who was inexperienced and might not even had the right coaching badges etc. Something Wenger had taken a decade to do in reaching the final, and still not won a Champions League! In fact, the only manager to reach all 3 finals of each European competition and lose!
SACK THE BOARD AND WENGER! It is the only way forward if Arsenal are to win trophies. Lie to the fans. Just because Wenger wants to do it his way and bring on s**t kids and basement/ bargain buys just to save a few bob, who are too young (or old and has beens or never beens of will be) and not good enough, then blame the lack of success on "Lack of maturity." A self-inflicted, repetitive wound.
And people defend Wenger (Arsene knows brigade and apologists) stating the board are letting Wenger down in regards to transfer money. Wenger is the f***ing man behind it! He wanted to move to the stadium and do things on the cheap with his "Experiment"(his word) and brainwashed the board to the point they are now BOTH to blame. Wenger doesn't even spend the money which we all know we have which is proved. Said himself he wouldn't spend 100 million if he could because of hampering the younger players development etc. Nor did he spend big anyway when at Highbury, but still managed to compete became successful. And if there really is NO money, then guilty by association as they oppose a money takeover. Happy to line their own pockets first. Both tight c**ts, although Wenger is the main culprit as he is still given the opportunity to spend money, but the board are happy for him not spend it hence making a saving.
Plus, Wenger said success can only be measured in time. Okay then. Have it your way:
7 trophies in 12/ 13 years not bad. But add up a total of 8 years of not winning anything, no back-2-back Titles EVER, no Champions League EVER, 3 League Titles in 14 seasons, and no Title for 6 seasons, and a trophyless 5 seasons on the bounce.
Overall, s**t ratio. Well done, Arsene!
Once Fabregas goes, which will probably be next summer, seeing as the team is built around him, Wenger will f*** off, and the Arsenal board because daddy left, leaving it someone elses' problem to hire a new manager and leaving the club in the s**t. Probably end up Arsenal having the best stadium in the Coca-Cola Championship. With sad f***ing Wenger c**ts with banners sat there saying "Arsene Knows." "Bring back Arsene!" We are s**t. f***ed. Finished. Back to mediocracy like the 80′s until Graham saved us and turned Highbury into practically a full house and not just 20,000. Out of the darkness, into the light .
When you got a manager and board of directors happy and content with winning nothing and finishing 3rd and 4th, you are never gonna be successful again.
Wenger has gone full circle. He made Arsenal and made them successful, and now taken them right back to where they started when he joined way back in '96 when the team went a little bit stale. Trophyless and mediocre. In fact worst as far as trophyless seasons. Although they weren't as s**t as everyone made them out to be prior to Wenger. When he leaves, the Club will be worse off than ever, and all the money he has saved up, leave Arsenal in a fantastic situation financially, which will be brief before The Board sell up and a new owner pumps debt into the Club. So completely, and utterly, pointless
Wenger's 2004 Invincible season, something which may not ever happen again, was his swan song. The worst sequence of runs since 1980 to 1986 where Arsenal never won anything until George Graham took up the reigns. And even he never went more than one season without f***all!
Sinatra style, with Wenger singing - "And I f***ed Arsenal MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! ! ! ! ! ! !
"It is unacceptable for a big club to go 4 years without a league title." - Arsene Wenger on Real Madrid.
No League Title for Wenger for 6 years, and trophy-less for 5 and counting
Wenger for me, was once a very good manager at Arsenal, but never a great manager
Arsenal .Where failure and losers are rewarded

Re KK's "knighthood"

There are two ways someone can get this. Either you are nominated by a friend colleague etc or by the Government. SAF was obviously nominated by the Labour party for his support to them. How can we get someone to nominate Kenny for services to Footy and his charity work other than from the fans? Personally I do not think that it would work coming from the fan base although it is justly deserved.

Who is an influnetial LFC fan with the clout to be listened to at that level? ( Apart from James Bond)

Same people, however, aren't as quick to notice that the past 5 seasons, which have been s**t, are also thanks to Wenger.
After 2004, it is sure s**t to be an Arsenal fan. Maybe as well, we don't have the funds to get players in (although we all know we do which has been proven) because of the new stadium etc. Well, if that's true, sounds like a right hash job and not thought through enough, with crippling debts. Might be good for the future, but by then, probably be a lower division side. Yet again, you can blame Wenger, seeing as he was the one behind the new stadium and the one with the "vision". Not to mention the disgraceful wage bill which is one of the highest around, particularly in England. Paying over-rated crap which aren't good enough, nor win anything PERIOD. Total f***ing shambles. Even for a small amount, you telling me there isn't an affordable batch of players how there, better than Diaby, Denilson, Silvester, Eduardo et al?!
Wenger himself, one of the highest paid managers in World Football, on at least 5 million per a year, to win f*** all, and be under no pressure to deliver at all. Even more than Ferguson at United. Money for nothing.
Building a bust for the bloke as well, when he is still at the Club and completely over-rated, and single handedly destroyed his own Legacy he created.
Brilliant times tho eh? After we won the FA Cup (undeserved playing negatively and s**t, something Wenger hates and slates other clubs who do that against us whom we struggle) in 2005, we have had to watch Liverpool, Chelsea and inparticularly, Man United sweep the lot between them, i.e. CL and the PL. What a wonderful place to be in! And people reckon us Arsenal fans are spoilt! What the f*** does that make United and Chelsea fans then eh?! United dominated the 90′s, and now the 2000′s!
And who can forget Avram Grant, reaching his first CL Final in only a few months, someone who was inexperienced and might not even had the right coaching badges etc. Something Wenger had taken a decade to do in reaching the final, and still not won a Champions League! In fact, the only manager to reach all 3 finals of each European competition and lose!
SACK THE BOARD AND WENGER! It is the only way forward if Arsenal are to win trophies. Lie to the fans. Just because Wenger wants to do it his way and bring on s**t kids and basement/ bargain buys just to save a few bob, who are too young (or old and has beens or never beens of will be) and not good enough, then blame the lack of success on "Lack of maturity." A self-inflicted, repetitive wound.
And people defend Wenger (Arsene knows brigade and apologists) stating the board are letting Wenger down in regards to transfer money. Wenger is the f***ing man behind it! He wanted to move to the stadium and do things on the cheap with his "Experiment"(his word) and brainwashed the board to the point they are now BOTH to blame. Wenger doesn't even spend the money which we all know we have which is proved. Said himself he wouldn't spend 100 million if he could because of hampering the younger players development etc. Nor did he spend big anyway when at Highbury, but still managed to compete became successful. And if there really is NO money, then guilty by association as they oppose a money takeover. Happy to line their own pockets first. Both tight c**ts, although Wenger is the main culprit as he is still given the opportunity to spend money, but the board are happy for him not spend it hence making a saving.
Plus, Wenger said success can only be measured in time. Okay then. Have it your way:
7 trophies in 12/ 13 years not bad. But add up a total of 8 years of not winning anything, no back-2-back Titles EVER, no Champions League EVER, 3 League Titles in 14 seasons, and no Title for 6 seasons, and a trophyless 5 seasons on the bounce.
Overall, s**t ratio. Well done, Arsene!
Once Fabregas goes, which will probably be next summer, seeing as the team is built around him, Wenger will f*** off, and the Arsenal board because daddy left, leaving it someone elses' problem to hire a new manager and leaving the club in the s**t. Probably end up Arsenal having the best stadium in the Coca-Cola Championship. With sad f***ing Wenger c**ts with banners sat there saying "Arsene Knows." "Bring back Arsene!" We are s**t. f***ed. Finished. Back to mediocracy like the 80′s until Graham saved us and turned Highbury into practically a full house and not just 20,000. Out of the darkness, into the light .
When you got a manager and board of directors happy and content with winning nothing and finishing 3rd and 4th, you are never gonna be successful again.
Wenger has gone full circle. He made Arsenal and made them successful, and now taken them right back to where they started when he joined way back in '96 when the team went a little bit stale. Trophyless and mediocre. In fact worst as far as trophyless seasons. Although they weren't as s**t as everyone made them out to be prior to Wenger. When he leaves, the Club will be worse off than ever, and all the money he has saved up, leave Arsenal in a fantastic situation financially, which will be brief before The Board sell up and a new owner pumps debt into the Club. So completely, and utterly, pointless
Wenger's 2004 Invincible season, something which may not ever happen again, was his swan song. The worst sequence of runs since 1980 to 1986 where Arsenal never won anything until George Graham took up the reigns. And even he never went more than one season without f***all!
Sinatra style, with Wenger singing - "And I f***ed Arsenal MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! ! ! ! ! ! !
"It is unacceptable for a big club to go 4 years without a league title." - Arsene Wenger on Real Madrid.
No League Title for Wenger for 6 years, and trophy-less for 5 and counting
Wenger for me, was once a very good manager at Arsenal, but never a great manager

Gary Cahill's agent was at Anfield on Friday for talks over a potential move. My source says he 'is up for it' and the fee is not an issue.

Charlie Adam, alongside his agent were also at Anfield on Thursday. This deal is wrapped up. His recent form is due to being minutes away from a move, his head's not gonna be in it, is it?

Ashley Young is all but done, fee is around the 12m region.

{Ed002's Note - It is tough to see what Liverpool would do with Aguero? I expect the player to go to Real Madrid with Chelsea a slight possibility. If he came it would make the side very narrow indeed, unless Carroll was dropped to the bench. So it remains unlikely to me.}

Ed Barca don't seem to have a problem with being a bit narrow, Pedro and Messi aren't exactly out and out wide men, Suarez and Aguero rotating around Carroll doesn't sound at all bad!

Harry5:)YNWA
- - - - - - - -
Robinson is better than Insua. We just need someone to be our first choice for the next 3 years. Robbo would be 20/ 21 then and physical enough to challenge to be our first choice. Enrique is a top LB, he had a bad game v Blackpool but he's been the 2nd best this season (behind Baines). Baines is too small for me, Enrique is 6'0" and strong. I don't even understand how A.Cole got in the team of the year!

Same goes for the other side. G.Johnson should be our first choice until Flanno is physical enough to take him out of the team. Martin Kelly then moves central and eventually replaces Carra.

Liverpool FC keeper Brad Jones is top of Fergie's summer wish list as the long term replacement for retiring keeped Edwin Van Der Sar. at the age of 28, he has at least 12 years service left, and Manchester United scouts were at the Jamie Carragher testemonial match to see him in action. Unfortunatly they have not see him play again. He would cost around 25-30 million + Nani, and although Kenny Dalglish is reluctant to let his star man go, a deal could be concluded prior to the opening of the summer transfer window. Heard from a VERY reliable source.

Heard it here first.

Just a thought about Charlie Adam, and the twists and turns of the transfer market- I thought we lost out by not getting him in January- he would've loved the move and would have done pretty well, and maybe West Ham and West Brom would've been different games.

But at over 9 million, he starts to get into the same price range as Defour, and a host of other players who are close to being world class. I would ask- is he close to being a world class player?

So maybe by not getting Adam we've actually been lucky- KK and Comolli are now forced to look at the likes of Defour, who you would think is half a step up in class from Adam- not wanting to be disrespectful to the guy, but you know. .

Adam is a leader, as most of the LFC first team used to be in their most successful years, and you do want that in a player- but does he have that extra bit of skill and quality to push LFC on to the very top?

I for one hope Torres bangs ther goals in to help Chelsea to the title. Im not bitter towards him, I think long term its his loss not ours. Already moved on, he is not bigger than LFC, no one is, he won't be the last player to move on. Good luck to him, especially if the mancs don't get number 19.

25 Apr 2011 11:53:14
Hi ed with all these rumours about k.Gibbs coming to us personally think it is pointless as Robinson is just as good and younger
Ed please comment on wht you think {Ed001's Note - I can't see why anyone is taking any notice, did no one read Comolli's comments about injury records? Gibbs is as injury prone as Aurelio, I just don't understand why this story is being given any credence.}

I know this isn't a transfer rumour but I thinks it's still interesting, here what the top four looks like since Dalglish took over on 6th Jan

Name P Pt

Chelsea 13 32
Man U 14 29
Liverpool 14 27
Arsenal 13 24

I think 3rd is pretty good {Ed001's Note - especially when you consider he had to spend the first couple of games lifting the team.}

Do we really need a new full back ed? cause the youngsters john flanaghan and jack robinson are doing a great job, i could understnad if it were only against the weaker treams like wolves but flanaghan made his debut against man city, a great attacking side and was solid and had a good game against arsenal to, i was especially impressed with robinson because he didn't expect to play and was thrown in at the deep end against theo wallcot, who granted isn't the trickiest winger but is very quick and most regular starting full backs struggle agianst him but he didn't get a sniff and in one instance jack out did theo for pace and go to thr ball first. in my opinion a young trong centre back shoukd be our main priority ( maybe sakho , cahil or subotic) then a winger (Payet, young, downing, kawadoh asamoah or andre ayew) then look for a full back {Ed001's Note - but they can't play every game, so, unless you see Johnson as the answer at left back, we still need one for that position.}

Wat do u think ed?? {Ed001's Note - I have been saying the same thing about Aguero, it makes no sense to buy him on his obscene wages to do the same thing as Suarez does for much less. As for Kuyt, it is clear he will not be first choice next season, but he will still have a big role to play.}

i agree ed about kuyt he won't be frist choice but we need players at liverpool who will fight for the cause, if you look at other big clubs the have player's who know there part of a team and when called we do there bit and not cry about it,

Not transfer related, more banter and blue sky thinking. It's about the Champions League. It's grated on me for years that a team the finished 2nd, 3rd or 4th can be in a competition named 'Champions' whilst teams from Wales and other nations who win their league have to go through qualifying. I understand that it's all about the money, TV deals and making sure the attractive teams play but I would love it to either be renamed or restructured.

If they want to keep it called 'Champions' then I would like to see to following qualify:

Winners of EACH league in the UEFA family.
Current holders of CL title.
Current holders of Europa title.
Winners of each UEFA leagues major trophy. (F.A. Cup, Copa Del Ray, Scottish Cup etc.)

It just annoys me that finishing 4th is seen as a victory. Everyone, surely, only wants to win and finish first, if not, what's the point in playing?!

If they want to keep the format they have and make loads of money then fine, but don't call it 'Champions'

Anyone care to join in the discussion/ shoot me down/ call me a clown feel free, let's banter!

It looks a good concept, but you sometimes get teams from lower in the prem or lower leagues winning these domestic cups. While that's good for football in this country, it's not necessarily a good idea to send a team like that into the Champions League where they'll get trashed. Having said that, Fulham made the final of the Europa League last season and surpassed expectations.

If this were the case then it would most definitely be the same teams winning the trophy all the time since all the other teams would never be able to get further than group stage every year. Imagine real madrid in a group with the welsh, polish and irish champs?
This format keeps the competition competitive and including teams from weaker leagues would simply make it predictable as the scottish league.

In addition to this the amount of places allocated is based on a countries place in the FIFA ranking. We get four because of how well we do, likewise for spain. Wales and the other smaller leagues don't because they don't do well, so really the best way for smaller leagues to get more places is to focus on making their league better and improving their national team also.

Liverpool to Sell Eight and Sign Up to 11 New Player In £85m Shake Up

Anfield side set for major overhaul.

Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli to lead the way in bid to refresh the playing staff at Anfield
Liverpool are planning a radical overhaul of their squad this summer with a source at the club revealing that they are planning up to 22 deals in and out of the club.
Director of Football Damien Comolli has been working since his appointment to identify priority targets and will receive support from the club s owners, the Fenway Sports Group, this summer as the club seek to build a squad capable of getting back into the Champions League.
Kenny Dalglish, who is hoping to remain as manager, has spoken of the need to complement the club s emerging talent with investment and it is understood that Comolli and his scouting team located two or three targets for each position they want to strengthen.
Most of these are aged between 19 and 24 as the club wants to invest in players whose talent can be developed and whose value will increase.
Rennes winger Sylvain Marveaux is expected to be the first signing when the window opens on June 1.
The club are being described as a long way down the road to securing the Bosman free transfer of the former France Under-21 international.
Liverpool are looking at further reinforcements in the wide areas, another striker, a left-back and cover at centre back. If enough players can be sold, there could be as many as 11 signings.
The club are working on trying to set up deals for the players out on loan Paul Konchesky, Alberto Aquilani, Philipp Degen, Nabir El Zhar and Emiliano Insua while there has also been interest in David Ngog, Sotirios Kyrgiakos and Milan Jovanovic, all of whom are for sale.
SOURCE: Daily Telegraph
Life under Kenny Dalglish continues to be bright with the caretaker boss, who will surely be handed a permanent deal this summer, continuing to get the most out of his fairly average squad, a squad the Anfield boss is keen to freshen up with significant moves in the transfer market this summer.
It seems like a lifetime ago that Roy Hodgson was presiding over multiple failures at the Liverpool helm and whilst the former Fulham boss is doing a great job at West Brom it did seem that he was the wrong person at the wrong time and his brief reign as boss of the Merseyside giants was as dismal as it was depressing for the club s supporters who had probably wanted Kenny Dalglish all along.
New strike pairing Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll have more than ably exorcised the ghost of Fernando Torres, who finally ended his goal drought yesterday, and the likes of Lucas and Raul Meireles have also improved dramatically in recent months.
The air of enthusiasm and confidence in the future is further exemplified by the impressive displays from youngsters Martin Kelly (before he got injured), John Flanagan and Jack Robinson and Dalglish and director of football Damien Comolli are keen to invest transfer funds handed to them by Fenway Sports Group this summer.
Liverpool are reportedly looking for new wingers with the likes of Sylvain Marveaux.

Hi Ed's
Not sure if you may have covered this before, but do you guys think if and is it worth the buzz about signing Enrique from Newcastle. Surely there better LB out there for this 10 - 15 mil price tag being branded about.
He couldn't even stay on the line during the weekend. Shocking basics in my eyes.

Thanks people,
Markolfc

{Ed002's Note - I certainly think thre are better options available at the suggested price.}

_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Where have the suggested prices of 10 - 15 million sourced from ?? his suggested market value is way below that. Not playing for national team. Last year of contract (June 2012) Bayern Munich rumours in german papers don't suggest such an offer either.

Just about the time when all the aguero rumours start. "aguero is coming". "aguero was in liverpool coz hes good mates with maxi". i would love if aguero joined but him and suarez play a very similar role, he would cost alot and i think for now we are alright for that striker/ second striker role. what do u think ed???

one more thing, wat do ppl think about jamie redknapps comments about the role of kuyt next season.
"Dirk Kuyt has scored seven goals in his last six Barclays Premier League games and has once again proved his value to Liverpool, but I wonder if he faces a fight to get into Kenny Dalglish's team next season.

"They need width and to sign wide players to supply Andy Carroll, especially, and Luis Suarez next season.

"That could lead to a substitute role for the Dutchman

wat do u think ed?? {Ed001's Note - I have been saying the same thing about Aguero, it makes no sense to buy him on his obscene wages to do the same thing as Suarez does for much less. As for Kuyt, it is clear he will not be first choice next season, but he will still have a big role to play.}

25 Apr 2011 10:55:19
Has anyone any idea what KKs preferred formation is? It's difficult to predict the transfers if we aren't sure what the layout will be. For me we have two possible formations, the classis 442 and the 352. The 442 looks like this, i have left blanks in positions i think we need to fill:

Reina
Kelly Carragher/ agger ??????? ????????
Johnson Gerrard/ ?????? Lucas/ Miereles ??????
Carrol Suarez

Need a minimum of 4 players, for me Sanchez/ Hazzard 25 mill
Cahill/ ?????? 15 mill
Coentreau/ Enrique/ Rolando 20 mill
Adam/ Mvilla 12 million

72 million

352

Reina
Kelly Carragher/ agger ???????
Johnson Lucas Gerrard/ ??????? Miereles ????????
Suarez Carrol

3 positions to fill

Coentreau/ Enrique/ Rolando 20 mill
Adam/ Mvilla 12 million
Hazzard/ Sanchez 25 million

57 million

Sell 20 million worth of players , total investment 40/ 50 million

This would give us a team for next year. . what are your thoughts?

PS. fab to see the young guys coming through, especially in the full back positions. .will save us a fortune!

50 million dollar white elephant Fernande Torres finally scores!

The striker, who spend important games for Liverpool on the treatment table in the last two seasons, and made a recent move to Stamford bridge in order to sell more shirts for the blues, finally actually performed his real job after months of disappointment

Torres will feel ingratiated to the Chelsea faithful for cheering his goal after his arrival displaced iconic striker & fan favorite Drogba, followed by the longest dry run of his career. Liverpool fans, however, will wonder whether everyone who was once a red will always really be a red in their eyes. The striker was a huge disappointment at Anfield while the club paid his wages and medical bills, jumping ship the moment he saw a chance.
The Liverpool Management, however, will feel elated that a striker who was a fans favorite but had become a bleeding wound on club finances without providing a return, chose to ruin his own image with the fans he professed to love, making the transaction easier and eliminating fans unrest. Meanwhile, the debate about Spanish mercenaries rages on as Cesc Fabregas also looks for a move to Barcelona, having spend his development years at Arsenal, where Legendary manager Arsene Wenger made him the player he is today.

25 Apr 2011 10:46:49
Hi Eds,

I know that most people(including ED001) think that the Europa Cup is a distraction we could do without next season, here is my thoughts on this for what its worth!

1. It is a perfect competition to give the squad/ young players a game that normally don't to see if they impress(bit like the Carling Cup) .

2. It gives European experience that the youngsters need!

3. It gives extra revenue (£10million max?)

4. It is a chance of a major cup which most be a plus!

5. By belittling this competition it takes some of the gloss off our treble in 2001, which this cup was one.

6. Surely getting as high up in the league is a plus, it must attract more players if they see the higher we finish.

7. Finishing above our rivals is always good.

Just my opinion!

25 Apr 2011 10:28:49

With all this interest in Charlie Adam, here is my observation.

The player who makes the biggest difference in the Blackpool team is David Vaughan. (Vaughan was voted by the Blakcpool player's as their player of the season.) He is their Alonso. . Theyll score goals with Adam, pick up ponts with Vaughan. If Vaughan is fit for the rest of the season, they'll have a chance of staying up.

(I'm not saying Vaughan is Alonso class, just in terms of impact on the team) {Ed003's Note - Vaughan is a very underestimated player according to opta he has made more successful tackles than any other prem midfielder and has picked up very few yellow cards}

- -

Didn't know that Ed, but doesn't surprise me. Vaughan will be a good buy for someone if Blackpool go down!

Because of his age, he wouldn't appear on Liverpool's radar but he's quality.

25 Apr 2011 10:12:27
Ed, because we played fantasticaly on saturday, with the absence of several players e.g. CARROLL for one do you think part of that was because of carroll's absence? As we stopped with all this smacking the ball up to him and started playing much better football-pass and move ect. Do you think he could become a 35m bench warmer?? {Ed001's Note - no. It was as much about how poor Birmingham are that we played so much better. With some width in the team Carroll will come into his own. It is just that there are not that many options for the man on the ball most of the time at the moment, so he often ends up hoofing it. With more width and pace we will have those options and that will open up the space as defenders can't hold such a high line against lots of pace.}

If they want to keep it called 'Champions' then I would like to see to following qualify:

Winners of EACH league in the UEFA family.
Current holders of CL title.
Current holders of Europa title.
Winners of each UEFA leagues major trophy. (F.A. Cup, Copa Del Ray, Scottish Cup etc.)

It just annoys me that finishing 4th is seen as a victory. Everyone, surely, only wants to win and finish first, if not, what's the point in playing?!

I would agree with the spirit of what you are saying, but you are right about the money and or that reason, it will not change.

You could also argue that English clubs who qualify through 2, 3 & 4th do very well in the competition because our league is strong.

Liverpool have lost 12 so far so how many losses under Hodgson rein and how many under Dalglish? {Ed002's Note - I don't know without looking it up - perhaps you could check it out yourself and let us know.}

Ooo that's lazy Ed, just lazy lol {Ed001's Note - they did mention it on the TV the other day and Dalglish hasn't lost many, mostly those first few games after he took over.}

With many names being thrown around at the moment for possible transfers can you please give me an update as to which youngsters you expect to step up next season and play more of a role int he squad.

I would expect to see the likes of Kelly, Flannagan. Spearing & Shelvy so who else can we expect to see??

Will players like Suso, Sterling, Cody & Aaron Morgan be ready for first team action?

Great site by the way Eds. {Ed001's Note - Sterling and Coady I expect to be the ones who get their chance next season. None are ready for first team action as such, but they need experience to help get them ready for it. A few first team games next season and sub appearances will help them get a feel of things ready. But they are still developing physically and don't need to be pushed too hard just yet.}

At the Birmingham game on Saturday, Andre Wisdom was warming up on the pitch with the substitutes but wasn't announced on the bench like Coady was. I don't know why this was, maybe he's just being integrated into the squad but anyway, he's certainly a good player and physically he is as stong/ stronger than other first-team centre backs so I'd expect to see him in and around the squad next year. Him, Kelly and Wilson are all reasons why we don't need a centre-back in the summer- not including Coady who can play in defence but is better in the midfield. We will sell Kyrgiakos and still have plenty of back-up.

25 Apr 2011 09:30:06
Guys, a friend of mine who's got inside knowledge of Anfield, told me that the deals for Blaise Matuidi and Dimitri Payet are now final and will be announced in a few weeks. The combined fee agreed with St Etienne is in the region of 15 mil. David Ngog may be included in the deal. In that case it'll be Ngog + 10mil. Also Sylvain Marveaux deal is dead due to his injury record over the years.

- - - - - - - - - - -
Ref above:both aged 24 and contracts run out june 2013. Matuidi strength in holding midfield and Payet strength is attacking ( I think he scored 10 / 12 this season ) and both footed to boot (excuse the pun).

Payet also been spotted at PSG game other week although its been reported this was "nothing" but none other than Alain Roche (spelling ?) who recruits for PSG / ex player also.

Think he has a similar role to Commoli at LFC ??
Maybe Eds can help.
JIm22

{Ed002's Note - Pretty much spot on. The PSG link with Payet is more than just being at a game as he was in the midst of trying to orchestrate a move. Roche is working as a head scout - but I am not sure who for at the moment.}

25 Apr 2011 09:35:12
I have to disagree with the guy who was doubting the effectiveness of benzene. Benzene would be a great partner for carroll, with his movement and the fact that he is very difficult to mark at set pieces. He is also able to stay cool is pressurised situations.

Please post, i plead with you, kk is doing great as caretaker, but every caretaker does well until they get it full time, then things go belly up.
so many examples.
so even though i love kk, my question is basically do we go with kenny or andre villa boas or someone similiar?
im at a crossroads who would do the best for liverpool long term

Shirley ( don't call me Shirley ) a wind up, you don't know who would be better for the club. The greatest player and possibly the greatest servant or some Jose Mourinho untested wannabe.
Get out of it you not right.

{Ed007's Note -It's not cross dressing, it's called being a master of disguise, fooled you well enough at the last Man Utd/ LFC game or was that the drink lol Imagine questioning James Bond's credentials? Have you seen my films?}

yes, I have seen all of your movies Ed007, but I am still trying to figure out which one you dressed as a woman. I was always under the impression that 007 didn't need any kind of disguise because he was just that bad ass. Maybe I missed the movie where you had to dress in drag to infiltrate the harem of some crazed terrorist plotting to overthrow the British government.

ps - Rumor from Florida is that Charlie Adam will be the Glazers' "marquee" signing.

Bel = Scum
Unbel = Torres

with so many space left in the 1st team for the young players, this can be a squad with 2 good players for each position except for strikers

Guys I've heard from a very reliable source that Liverpool are going to put bids in for benzene "

What, we are being linked with toxic chemicals now?

Even KK will struggle find to find the right position to play a hydrocarbon compound.

And with Suarez possibly favouring the right, I'm not convinced that a volatile organic liquid like benzene is going to get to the byline enough to make an impact, especially with Young in the squad.

By all means give benzene a run in the reserves, but is it really ready for the pace and intensity of the first team?

LMFAO, well i can't stop laughing. man before posting rumors at least you need to get a players name correct.

Hey ed who do you think would be the best buy for Liverpool and do you think aguero will go to anfield {Ed002's Note - I have no idea about a best buy but Aguero seems unlikely.}

Well if we have a chance of becoming his next club seeing as he is destined to leave in the summer {Ed001's Note - that gave me a good giggle, not a hope in hell. Why would we want him? What is with this obsession with fantasy nonsense signings like Tevez? We have Suarez, they play almost exactly the same game, why aren't people happy with him?}

- -
ed i think ur thinking outside the box on this one. im sure the poster thought it would be nice to have Tevez along side Suarez in our attack for the reason that "they play almost exaclty the same game" (your words). but deep down i think you knew that but just tryna give the dude/ et at hard time about asking a question that they should really have figured out for themselves. (I HOPE)

Ed, d'you reckon in the future when we're a force again that UEFA might allow 5th place CL aswell? Because surely they'd want all the top teams in Europe in it, and I reckon for years to come there'll be atleast 5 top teams in the EPL (Liverpool, United, City, Arsenal & Chelsea). I'm not quite aware how it works and can't be bothered 'googling' it. 5 does seem quite a lot though.

Not that I'm concerened 'cause we'll finish in the top 4. Just curious.

Stone YNWA. {Ed002's Note - Putting aside the in or out of Europe discussion, I expect Liverpool to be part of the top four mix again from next season on. A poor start has hampered the team periodically so it will be important to hit the road running in what I think will be a real tough season.}

25 Apr 2011 01:42:48
Liverpool are being linked with good players whereas the over 4 clubs are being linked with GREAT players.

Arsenal aren't dropping out the top 4, as time goes on they get stronger and stronger

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - lol @ comparison with "linked" players. Your team will get linked with GREAT players but they will end up at liverpool. lol @ arsenal getting stronger. . their season just ended (trophyless).

25 Apr 2011 01:43:56
Hi all, iv ben told in the last week that charlie adam has slipped of the liverpool radar and isn't as sought after as he was in january, simply due to better options being available.
im not saying that he won't be joining, because he may well join, but is not currently 1st choice.
also, as i said before, ashley young still looks more than likely to sign be joining liverpool in the summer.
i havnt heard to much more other than we are still interested in benzema but its gone very quiet.

have you anything to report ed? iv been away for a wile and havnt really got time to log on.
cheers mate.

Our top priority is to get one world class winger, one young defender (Like Sakho) and one young striker who has potential. So in the worst case scenario if Suarez and Carrol are injured. He can play.

25 Apr 2011 01:17:16
Now look at Liverpool, They're being linked with the likes of Stuart Downing, Charlie Adam, N'zogbia, etc.

Big difference isn't there? Liverpool are being linked with good players whereas the over 4 clubs are being linked with GREAT players.

We'll soon see what happens in the summer, but remember;

Arsenal aren't dropping out the top 4, as time goes on they get stronger and stronger, Chelsea have too much power to move out the top 4, United have never been out the top 4 in Premiership history and they won't be out of it anytime soon, and City? well they're getting stronger and stronger as the seasons go by.
- - - - - - - - - -

Mate, you don't seem to read the paper very often - or at least not in the past few weeks when we've been linked to Coentrao, Sanchez, Pastore and even (unbelievable, but true) Messi.
Besides, what baring do press links have on real transfers? You're quite clearly clueless on the topic of football transfers.

Anyway, come the summer I expect us to be in the top 3 biggest spenders (with Chelsea and Man City) regardless of whether or not we achieve Europe between now and the end of the season. We'll prove to this clown above and the footballing world that we're not prepared to take the back seat and let them have their trophies unchallenged.
Going into next season I'll be very optimistic of a Top 4 finish, given that we would have coasted to 4th this year had we not appointed the worst man for the manager's job in July. I honestly don't care who's ousted to make room for us (though I fancy Arsenal), as long as we're sitting pretty back where we belong I'm fine.

You have just explained it perfectly mate. Sometimes it just comes across from you that you see LFC with this 'you no longer a big club' approach which grates my nuts. Just an opinion I know.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Leave him alone mate, when small clubs experiences something big for the first time they believe it is everything. Just look at spurs for example LOL. Every time they win against Arsenal its like winning the league and start to claim they are better than them. One season in CL. they think they are going to get Aguero. Liverpool is just in different class to those clubs. They will never reach the height we have reached and will reach again soon.

25 Apr 2011 00:24:33
Great site by the way Eds. {Ed001's Note - Sterling and Coady I expect to be the ones who get their chance next season. None are ready for first team action as such, but they need experience to help get them ready for it. A few first team games next season and sub appearances will help them get a feel of things ready. But they are still developing physically and don't need to be pushed too hard just yet.}

I think Coady or Sterling might be ready for a few sub appearances. I didn't think Flanagan or Robinson were ready but they proved me wrong. I would like to see them get 20 minutes from the bench.

25 Apr 2011 00:16:32
{Ed002's Note - I don't know if Liverpool have much interest in the player but it should be remembered, regardless of how he played yesterday, that he has a lot of EPL experience and he provides versatility on the left hand side.}

Ed Wigan fan here, N'Zogbia has been wonderful for us for 2 years now, but he plays his best football on the Right, cutting in on his left. .do Liverpool need that. i don't think they do, they want an out and out winger, we started charlie on left last season at the start and he was awful, class player but i don't think he will be intresting liverpool.

First your sexist not everyone is a man one of the Eds are a female and secondly how can you have a second team your a disgrace to our club

Simon the red {Ed007's Note - None of the Eds are woman, although Ed001 is a bit of a blouse, he swears he's a man, the word eunuch springs to mind lol}
- - - -
One of the Eds said there was a female and it wasn't a joke check earlier posts on banter either 001 or 002 {Ed001's Note - I can guarantee the closest we have to a female editor is unfortunately 007. But despite his cross-dressing antics he is not actually female.}
