Liverpool Rumours
I still think Suarez, Adam & Warnock will arrive, but I don't like the game Comolli is playing. Jovanovic & Johnson will also go before the end of the window.

Reina
Kelly - Carragher - Agger - Warnock
Gerrard - Meireles - Adam
Kuyt - Torres - Suarez

This is the first season since the crown paints kits I've not bought a new shirt.

My kids all have a Standard Chartered shirt with their name and age on the back but me nothing.

After the negativity of the football last season, H & G still in charge come the summer and none of the signings inspired that they were the man to improve Liverpool. I bought an Accy Stanley shirt as tongue in cheek joke to the football we'd been playing.

I've always blindly backed the the seasons big signing from Cisse to Johnson, Torres to Gerrard (going back on his decision to join Chelski). I've always had the belief that they were being signed and would no doubt give all they could to improve Liverpool Football Club as there was no greater honour than to play for the reds, so I proudly had their name across my back and defended them to the hilt.

But this season was the 1st time in a long time I didn't want a shirt, I questioned the signing being made due to very few signings from the last decade being good enough and the previous season's failings. But I also didn't think the players being signed were the ones to turn us round in the short or long term.

But with the appointment of KK and the football that is now starting to be played I think now may be the time to put my Accy shirt away.

At the end of the storm.

{ed's note - he played his best football out there, though I fail to see how Gerrard is our best player any more, he has had one good game in the last couple of years. Reina has to be our best player right now doesn't he?}

Harsh about Gerard but not too far from the truth. he doesn't dominate games any more and he never seems to be involved for the full game. i wud defo play him at rm pacheco/ mereiles behind torres

But how are we meant to win the league when all the teams are geting stronger when we are not {ed's note - I don't see United getting stronger and they seem to be top, or have I missed something?}
but the have rio vidic evra scholes giggs shrek nani all playing with scum for a while now we have stevie g carra pepe nando always choping and changing everyone else {ed's note - so you want us to buy lots more players to chop and change then?}
no just buy a few good players so we won't have to chop and change so much? {ed's note - we have already made the most important change, why can't you just have faith in the King to do what is needed? He has done far more to improve the team than buying 5 or 6 players would.}
ed every liverpool fan loves kenny there is no point in making everything about him he can only work with what he has and doing a very good job i must say BUT he could do with a little help two good players would help us get up the table YNWA {ed's note - yes they would, but he was talking about needing 6 or 7.}

Utd also have players like Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Fletcher, Gibson, O'Shea etc etc. Not to mention buying players like Hernandez for £6 million, who don't set the world alight, but Utd coaching staff have the players well drilled. It's not all about having world class players in every position.

I would ask all those Liverpool fans who have been beating the drum about signing every Tom, Dick & Harry one question. If Kenny had been in charge since the start of the season, how many more points do you think we would have
with the same players we currently have? Maybe a good boss, some good coaching & a bit of spirit is more important than any signing.

The Irish Rover

probably another 3-6 points than we have now maybe, not much more the players we have r ony capable of 8th place at best

I did post on the site on Sunday that Sir Alex had genuine interest in Charlie Adam, but as usual no-one seems to believe anything, or should i say if you lot don't like it you all disagree! There are some realistic people on here but the majority post wish lists and seem very immature! The editors do a fine job and get a lot of unnecessary abuse for been truthful and realistic! People should be grateful that this site is available free of charge.

this site should be free of charge the rubbish that gets put on ha ha, a couple of eds do a good job but a couple of them don't one of them jus disagrees with every rumour and alex likes adam ofcourse he does who doesnt, but he isn't gunna bid for adam man united don't have any funds available this month {ed's note - it is people like you that are responsible for sending in the content. So if it is rubbish perhaps you should try and improve your efforts by making constructive comments. Oh and punctuation wouldn't go amiss, makes it easier for the rest of us to read.}

ha ha ha people like me lol that's a laugh u need to look at urselves a couple of the eds need to think about what they r writing too, and punctuation i don't need it, i am not filling out an application form or anything important am i so no need for punctuation, whats wrong u incapable of reading and knowing when u should stop to take a breath or to pause and sht like that, ive seen ppl write good comments on here and give rela rumours and couple of the eds shoot them down and the person who wrote it has turned out to be right, ed saying liverpool wasnt interested at all in suarez and bids have been made so how he could say we wasnt interested i really don't know {ed's note - no idea what you said, couldn't be bothered to read through that garbled rubbish. Write legibly or I will just ignore it in future.}

Ed i have been a supporter for over 50 years its in the blood and right now its starting to boil with all these whingers harping on about world class players the trouble is that they all want success now and are not prepared to wait for it.
From Shanks on we have brought in players from small clubs and even the scrap heap ( Willie Stevenson, StJohn, Yeats, Strong, Keagan, Hansen Lawro) to name a few and we have in turn with these players turned into a worldwide club famed for our football so let Kenny get on with building a team to remember within the next 3 years look at the younsters we have and what they could be like by 2013/ 14 instant success won't last god help me for saying this but was the red sh*tes success built on big signings or hard work with the youth

I don't know about anyone else but I have my doubts and reservations about John Henry and co! Do they really have all this money to invest in Liverpool fc? Why are they so slow and deliberate in everything they do? These are just a few points which have me doubting NESV/ FSG

1) why did they take so long in removing every media hacks favourite uncle, Woy, when KK was ready and willing to take over straight away!
2) why are they taking so long in long in making a decision about either redeveloping Anfield, or building a brand new stadium? What is there to think about? I am sure countless feasibility studies will have been preformed by the previous owners! we need to be moving forward with this (it's been ongoing since 2000)
3) we are into the final week of the transfer window and as yet we haven't even come close to signing anyone! The only business we have done is let Ryan Babel leave for £6milion and jovanvic set to follow for £6million, leaving our already very threadbare squad pretty short of attacking options!
Let's face facts I don't think we are serious about Luis Suarez, if we were he would have been ours, we are not going to get Honda, turan, mata, banega, defour etc, what we might get is a scotsman who is at best a average premiership player having a a good season. So once again we will make a profit for our American owners in the transfer window. Same ol $@I£ different day!

I could be proved wrong and we might get some quality players in the next 5 days! And Suarez plus a decent left back might come in. . .here's hoping

I still can't make sense of this Charlie Adam signing? I'm begging for someone to please explain to me why we need another central midfielder. And before anyone says he is better than what we have, that will not explain it for me.

Is he better than Gerrard? Is he better than Mireless? 2 quality international central midfielders. And the way Mireless is playing i wouldn't mind Stevie sitting back and playing the holding role. If we get a striker were can anyone see Adam playing?

This could be another fringe player we payed millions for and spends more time on the bench. I hope i'm wrong but i just don't get this signing.

Ed can you help me out?

Blair Mayne YNWA {ed's note - we play 3 in midfield and forget Stevie holding, he is far too lazy defensively, it would be a huge mistake.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
That's part of my point Ed. If we play 3 in midfield then we have Lucas to do this job. Central midfielder is not our priority a winger and more importantly a striker are.

And it dosn't look like we'll be selling any central midfielders. So we will have Gerrard, Lucas, Mireless, Spearing, Adam and Poulson (maybe) who can all play there. Even Aurelio can play there if need be and fit.

Blair Mayne YNWA {ed's note - Spearing and Poulsen are simply not good enough.}

god, i thought it was made up but was actually totally true.

and our owners only bid 12.7mill for suarez. ha make ya laugh really. our owners have to make at least one big marque signing or fans will start questioning them. and they certainly don't want that.
i have faith in nesv. but they do have to splash the cash. not stupidly but sensibly.

Harry5:)ynwa {ed's note - why do we need a marquee signing to appease the fans? If that is how low we have sunk as a club it would be better to lose some fans than buy to keep them happy. We should only buy players to improve the team, end of.}

but how are we meant to win the league when all the teams are geting stronger when we are not {ed's note - I don't see United getting stronger and they seem to be top, or have I missed something?}

they only on top through luck, other teams below have been below par below there best i think what we see from united now is the best they can produce once all the other teams start playing how they should be united will drop off {ed's note - they are on top because they get the best out of their resources, that makes a huge difference. Already we look a far better side than we did under Roy or Rafa or Houllier, Dalglish is more important than any player.}

they r on top through luck, and cos teams below r not playing as good as they can if teams were plying as good as they can man united wouldn't be in top 4 now {ed's note - teams like us for instance? If Dalglish had been in charge at the beginning of the season we would be a lot further up the table. That was the only signing that really mattered.}

some fans lol lfc will lose majority of fans cos that's what is wanted a big signing, not some stupid signing like negredo, swp, c.cole, hourau and all them crap players, we wanna see, a player like suarez, honda, mata, aguero, llorente, and so on but it don't look like we will we will edn up with more dead wood and even more in summer when we can't attract the players i mentioned cos we not in europe cos we didn't by players who r capable of making us better to help us climb the table cos the team we have r simply not capable of top 7 atleast, they r 10th 9th or 8th at best {ed's note - any fan that thinks it is all about big name players is very welcome to go and support Real Madrid.}

lol im not talking about a whole team of big names, im talking of atleast buying 1 or 2, cos at the moment we have 3 big names, torres, gerrard and reina, and players havent got big names for nothing u know, its cos of how good they r as a players, look at city, everyone thought they wouldn't do well cos they threw a load of big names together, well i see them fighting at the top now probably end up in top 4, and probably next season be winning the league.

but liverpool don't seem to be even bidding a serious bid for anyone good, ppl might say ohh wait till summer, what when we r not in europe and can't attract anyone ok sure why not {ed's note - we have brought the biggest name in already, and it cost a lot of money to get Hodgson out to do so. What more do you want? The King is back, try getting behind him.}

Expect a protest if Liverpool don't sign a world class player, we've had enough lies from our owners and these guys atm don't seem to know what they're doing. {ed's note - grow up! If any muppets protest after the January window then they don't deserve to be allowed near Anfield ever again. When Barnes and Beardsley were brought to the club neither were seen as world class.}

Im sure Beardsley broke the transfer record when he signed because he was 'world class' {ed's note - he may have been expensive, but he was not seen as world class when we signed him.}

Some of you 'fans' really need to listen King Kenny. A bit more is expected of you to be a liverpool fan than to sit there and moan. The new owners are doing things in the Liverpool way, behind closed doors. Judge on actions not rumour and crap.
In a few months NESV have;
1. cleared the club debt,
2. Fired Hodgson and put Kenny in as manager,
3. are putting in a new board,
4. are looking at designs for a new stadium / new Anfield; and
5. with the transfer window not closed yet have bid for Suraz and Adams (that we know of, maybe more) with talks ongoing.

So Chill out. Me, I'm just happy having seen football we haven't played for 10 years at the weekend.

Fitzy.

I hate saying it, but you gotta hand it to the Mancs! They never know when they're beat. Off course they get their usual huge slice of luck when Blackpool don't get a stone wall penalty. But we need their desire & passion to fight for every point. Now to the point of Charlie Adam! He likes the offensive part of the game, but he can't be arsed to defend. He just stood & let Fletcher run behind him for Utds first goal. So as much as he's a descent player he is certainly no Alonso in any shape or form.

- - - - - - - - - -

In all fairness, Adam could have done nothing for Man Ure's first goal. Evatt had gone off on a midnight stroll and he had to track back from midfield, he expected Evatt to be behind him and marking Fletcher.
In regards to his quality, his passing range is phenomenal and the closest thing to Alonso's 50-yarders I've seen since Xabi left. He's not going to win us any titles, but he's far better that Poulsen and Spearing.
I'd say we'll have him by Thursday morning, for around £6.5-7m with Shelvey or Pacheco possibly thrown in to sweeten the deal. In Hollaway's post-match press conference he basically admitted defeat and said (quote) "I'd like to thank Kenny Dalglish for not talking about it [the transfer saga] in public."
All this smacks of an imminent deal and admission of defeat on Blackpool's part.

I agree with ed's comment to the Harry5 post,
to be honest i would have quite happy if we made no signings at all. We do need to replace babel if he is
definately going but ithink the current squad is very capable to finish in european place . They have underperformed this season and it's not just hodgeson fault, players need to take responsibility.

Kenny will get it right, so will nesv, trust them,
everybody just chill out, good times are coming.

Thebritvickid

its funny how jus a month or 2 ago all the liverpool fans were saying this team we have is not good enough and isn't good enough to get us in europe, all of a sudden everyones changing there minds like, oh yeah this team can get us in europe, maybe we jus need a striker and winger and that's it were set for the title, ha ha give ur head a wobble ppl, this team is 8th spot at best, and needs dramatic changes, 2 wingers, 2 strikers, 1 or 2 central defenders, 1 left back

Editor if we sign adam, where exactly are lucas, meireles, gerrard going to play? {ed's note - one will clearly have to make way. Unless Gerrard plays where he had his best ever season for us - on the right.}

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

Gerrard RM has been nagging at me since the rumours of Charlie Adam started. But I didn't have the conviction (balls?) to say it.

Will the King play his Captain and best player out of position when other very gd managers club and international have been so heavily slated for doing so?
your thoughts ed.

redsoldier {ed's note - he played his best football out there, though I fail to see how Gerrard is our best player any more, he has had one good game in the last couple of years. Reina has to be our best player right now doesn't he?}

yes ed we need players to improve the team, which is why we need a marquee signing a world class player, not some crappy player like hourau or negredo or traore or deadwood waste of cash players like them {ed's note - if Kenny Dalglish chooses to sign a player like Hoarau, then I will trust his judgement over yours.}

they only on top through luck, other teams below have been below par below there best i think what we see from united now is the best they can produce once all the other teams start playing how they should be united will drop off {ed's note - they are on top because they get the best out of their resources, that makes a huge difference. Already we look a far better side than we did under Roy or Rafa or Houllier, Dalglish is more important than any player.}

I still can't make sense of this Charlie Adam signing? I'm begging for someone to please explain to me why we need another central midfielder. And before anyone says he is better than what we have, that will not explain it for me.

Is he better than Gerrard? Is he better than Mireless? 2 quality international central midfielders. And the way Mireless is playing i wouldn't mind Stevie sitting back and playing the holding role. If we get a striker were can anyone see Adam playing?

This could be another fringe player we payed millions for and spends more time on the bench. I hope i'm wrong but i just don't get this signing.

Ed can you help me out?

Blair Mayne YNWA {ed's note - we play 3 in midfield and forget Stevie holding, he is far too lazy defensively, it would be a huge mistake.}

Hopefully it leaves him looking for a new club, where he can milk them for £90 grand/ week.

It was a desperate signing at best by Hodgson but I always thought if Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea weren't willing to give him the wages he wanted why should we. Whilst letting Chelski have Yossi to make room for the mercenary.

redsoldier {ed's note - Joe Cole is not earning 90k a week as such. He was offered that as a basic wage by Spurs but turned it down to join us and the southern media have spun it to make it look like it was greed. But what they forget to mention is that in the figures regarding the Spurs offer they never included his signing fee and bonuses. But when they quote the figures he gets for us they include all bonuses and the signing fee (which is paid out gradually with his wages). He would have earned a lot more down south, he joined us to play alongside Stevie and Carra and for the chance to be a hero at Anfield. Having said that, I do agree that it was a very poor signing, though Roy cannot be blamed as it was Gerrard that wanted him to join.}

He's moaned about being played out of position even though he's been more than happy to play where ever for Eng and Chelski.

I agree that this was a signing to appease Gerrard more than for the greater good of the club. And the 90 grand a week comes from his signing and appearance fees. But I do believe that he earns more each week not playing than the equally ineffective Milan Jova.

Number 7 was king kennys number!
I know at least 10 people who have dalglish 7 on the new top.
I won't be the only one to point this out.
With regards to new signings no one know anything just look at the babel scenario.
The only one person i think we will get is Adam and that aint 100%
until it goes passed ssn on the yellow bar i won't belive it!

Don't shoot the messenger, I go every Liverpool game I'm nor stupid. Is dalglish on the team sheet? And why a large amount, he's the king, but I can't see everyone walking around with it on there backs. It's speculation, get over it!

definately going but ithink the current squad is very capable to finish in european place . They have underperformed this season and it's not just hodgeson fault, players need to take responsibility.

Ed how much would Llorente cost? Personally see him as a better signing that Suarez! Target man but quality in the penalty box and great finisher. I have a feeling that Suarez was never in the picture. I'm wondering whether a signing will be announced tomorrow? {ed's note - Llorente would probably cost around 30m, I agree he is far better than Suarez and offers much more to the side.}

llorente is a great player, as is suarez, there both as good as one another but with different attributes, paying 30 mill for llorente is no different to paying 30 mill for suarez, neither r worth 30mill, 20-25 mill at most both of them id be happy with either one, plus a world class winger {ed's note - Llorente is proven in a top league, Suarez isn't. Llorente works hard, is excellent in the air and on the ground, is big and strong and can play up top on his own. Suarez is playing in the Dutch league and spends as much time sulking as he does playing. Not even half the player Llorente is. Suarez wouldn't even make Spain's reserve team's bench, Llorente is pushing for a place in their first team.}

I hate saying it, but you gotta hand it to the Mancs! They never know when they're beat. Off course they get their usual huge slice of luck when Blackpool don't get a stone wall penalty. But we need their desire & passion to fight for every point. Now to the point of Charlie Adam! He likes the offensive part of the game, but he can't be arsed to defend. He just stood & let Fletcher run behind him for Utds first goal. So as much as he's a descent player he is certainly no Alonso in any shape or form.

Adam is NOT a good player for Liverpool! He is the Stevie G of Blackpool; He is an inspiration to them and gives the team a lift, But he is definately NOT Liverpool material! It's like when Hodgson came to Liverpool, and we all know how that went. (It's a step too far for him and will ruin his career as opposed to in a place where he can become a ledend)

Waste of money IMO! Gosh let's try and sign Konchesky next. (Oh wait)! {ed's note - ludicrous comparison to mention Konch. Konch was an average left back who struggled to hold down his place at Fulham. Adam is the first name on the team sheet and is by far and away Blackpool's best player.}

Ed's do you think it is possible that NESV have put aside say £25m for this window and could at this point of the window with babel and poss jovanivic going that we could sign Suarez with majority of funds and then Adam and poss another player with the remainder? Also I know u aren't believing the Suarez rumours but who do u think us the likely striker? I would be dissappointed with Horau although us good was hoping for a steller name? What u think? {ed's note - it is certainly possible, from what I have been told the sale of Babel was needed to stop the club from dipping into the pot currently set aside for a striker and some width. I don't get the impression that there is enough for Suarez and other players though, not without bringing more money in from elsewhere. I think it is more likely to be a 15m region signing up front and then a winger.}Do u think £15m and a player could land Suarez if not who are likely targets? Jim

{Editor's Note: £15M plus a player on loan may hit the button - £20M and a player on loan for a year I am sure would. But the bid is a light year away at less than £13M and Ajax are probably looking for someone else to come in. In terms of street cred, Liverpool have blown it.}

Wickham is not worth 10 mill.
has potential to be worth that. but would take about 5 years+ though.

Signing a striker isn't a priority this transfer window but we are trying to sign one. We are trying to focus on signing wide players and a left back. Kuyt will begin to used more as a target man and a striker than wide man if we can get the right personal in.

striker is priority everyone knows it, we have torres wow 1, , , kuyt is poo, ngog isn't strong enough or good in anyother way actually, babel is gone, and jovanovich well he will probably be gone soon. so yeah striker id say is priority as is a winger

My feedback on the liverpool football club right now is we have at last done something for reasons other than logical statisticle digital modern management borrox. We hired a man who is liverpool to the core, I have supported the team since i was 4-5 and i knew that kenny had been a celitc player, but i didn't know that at the same time because like all legends we feel we own him and therefore there is only us and the legend. Kenny is a risk no doubt as yes he has been away from management for a while but i say this to any one who doubts his skills and chances to be a succes once again, You or I wouldn't in a million years lay our legendary reputation on the line unless we where 100% commited to the cause and 100% convinced we can win. The outcome will be whatever it is meant to be but the fact remains nobody alive would take a second shot at the title if they where not dame sure we had good, real good odds of being a winner. Its hard enough to get the status once of legend but what that man has and lived through as player and manager of a club like liverpool is second to none remember he watched fans die and things happen that today would never be allowed but to go on, so for Kenny to risk the memory and his place in the clubs history is massive and for that i trust and respect him, further more it is all the god dame proof i need to tell me he knows what he is doing and we are going to be ok.
YNWA

Totally agree. Well said. I tell you one thing. It's great seeing the guy cheering every goal we have scored so far like it's a cup final goal.(reminds me of when i started supporting us) . He never got us into this position. The list of culprits that have, nearly span the amount of years he has been out of management. The change is clear for everyone to see. I'ts FU%&ING great to see Kenny back. I believe if your a genius in your profession, it will never leave you.

i think his goal ratio warrants such a price tag, ok maybe not 30 mill but 25mill yeah, , , how does he have a bad attitude from his attitude bout not wanting to play for teams who jus throw money about is a good attitude, so he bit a player whooptee damn whooo, , he was being kicked by the player on purpose even when he didn't have the ball, hes lucky he didn't break his nose or jaw, , , and the handball at the world cup, it was knockouts and that goal if he had let it go in woulda knocked his team out anyone woulda done the same in his position. so don't get all self righteous, cos i bet u woulda done the same too. ur jus a hater who thinks all footballers should be inhuman and be perfect robots {ed's note - I mean he is a lazy sod who can't be bothered when things are going badly for him. Perhaps you should find out more about a player before you jump on a bandwagon. He is nothing special and his attitude stinks on the pitch.}

i do know about suarez, i watch the dutch league, i watch most leagues well spanish english dutch french german and some of the games from other leagues i watch them all on a site on the internet, and ive seen him play plenty of times, and he is a great striker, ive seen him play internationally and again he plays well, his attitude is no different to any striker who isn't getting the service and isn't getting goals {ed's note - I will just be glad you never have the power to pick the players we buy. He is certainly not 'great', nor even close to it. He isn't even as good as Forlan.}

ha ed ur just a hater with bias views of suarez, funny how many more ppl think hes good than there is thos who think hes not good, , , , as for forlan yeah he was good but suarez is uruguays future cos forlans becoming a fossil, suarez is gunna be a star hes gunna be the player everyone wants and will be willing to pay upto 50 mill for him, , ,

{ed's note - it is certainly possible, from what I have been told the sale of Babel was needed to stop the club from dipping into the pot currently set aside for a striker and some width. I don't get the impression that there is enough for Suarez and other players though, not without bringing more money in from elsewhere. I think it is more likely to be a 15m region signing up front and then a winger.}


But ed is there enough time left to sign 3 players , charlie adam , Winger and a striker , we havent even got one yet and it will be the 26th tomorrow! how frustrating!

Great site ed. just an observation really, thinking about how dalglish used to line his old liverpool team up, beardsley behind aldrige with barnes on the wing, and wondering if he's really after a striker. He has either meireles, gerrard, cole to play behind torres, and would any striker go there knowing he would be on the bench fairly regularly. We are more in need of a winger(turan?)or honda, who i thought was more of a behind the striker player? the last winger we had was riera, who wasnt brilliant but he was as much of a loss as alonso was when he left. All the rumours are about suarez really, but its all been about drumming up interest i think

It would be nice if we signed someone of Suarez or honda's quality in this window but I wouldn't be overly disappointed if the club decided to keep their wallet closed for now but decided to give the likes of Pacheco and suso a run in the team under the guidance of Kenny.

well u should be disappointed, cos if we don't get them now then we never will and when it comes to next season we definitly won't be in europe, therefore won't attract star players, only trash we will attract is swp, c.cole, lucina traore, hourau, and more deadwood.
-------------
No disrespect to the above poster as we all have our own pooints of view but to say if we don't buy quality players now we never will is a little nieve and somewhat pessimistic I believe Kenny will drag the team up the table and a europa cup place is not beyond our means this season, we certainly won't be buying the likes of SWP and C.Cole as it is not in NESV's interest to buy players that don't fit with the profile of being a young up and coming talent

Charlie Adam to Liverpool. . . YES PLEASE!

Imagine what the lad can do with the likes of Torres, Gerrard & Meireles around him. The comments comparing the lad to Xabi are optimistic but this boy can plays.

Transfers I would like before the end of the window.

Charlie Adam - 6mill
Keisuke Honda - cannot say a price now he has been sensational in the Asia Cup
Eljero Elia - 12mill

I would of liked Suarez, but as one of the Eds have mentioned the width is most important.

Ed, i am hugely worried!

Chelsea bid 52million for aguero and some other player while were bidding 10's of millions on unproved players like suarez. Why are we not after these types of players like aguero who are world class and what we need. I can see the top teams pulling away further if they get these signings while we don;t get a sniff because i strongly believe we don't have the money for those players. Lfc's tradition will only get us soo far for the next few years. i havn't heard anything strong yet that we are interested in any proven strikers like aguero and llorente. Top 6 looks the aim for the next 5 years never mind PL winners! Ed, your thoughts, i know its strong but i am a worried supporter! {ed's note - I would rather we spent the right money on the right player, rather than blew ridiculous money on a player who has a big name.}

I understand their is still time to make a quality signing or 2 before deadline day. What I can't understand is why we are putting in offers that are well below what other clubs would even consider a decent offer. Yes it may all be part of a plan and we may come in with higher offers sooner rather than later but this is a gamble and a dangerous game. We are P* *ing other clubs off and this game of poker could blow up in our faces. It may be more worryingly we don't have the money to bid what Blackpool Ajax and other clubs want for their players. Whats your opinion ED ?
ROYZERED {ed's note - have you ever negotiated anything? It is like haggling in a street market, you always try and get the best price. The way to do that is to start as low as possible and get them to come down to you.}


If you actually took the time to read what I said, I understand why we have a plan to undervalue players but not the silly amounts we are quoted as offering. Yes we need value and we are trying to get these players for a good price. Sometimes you have to pay the piper and I just frustrated as we have a record of missing quality signings who have doubled in value after we missed out. Remember Dani Alves. In answer to your question yes I have negotiated but not at that level. {ed's note - and negotiations at this level take time. I would rather miss out on Alves than pay over the odds.}

I agree with the eds we need wide players before a striker if we do sign adam it would push gerrard or meireles up with torres, what wide players would you like ed and who is a realistic target? {ed's note - well Marveaux is set for the summer, no idea what he is like though. But I would go for Turan (simply because he loves the club), Perotti, Piatti, Griesmann and Joaquin as a back up option. Navas is another I think we should at least look at getting. I am sure there are options in the lower leagues and other foreign leagues too, but I have not really seen anyone who stood out other than those.}

Since Alonso left we have not had that man in the middle that can change Defence to attack with one pass! I seriously hope we can nail this one! Ed, You got any further news re when this may happen? also - I am hearing Hoarau is lookin most likely up front - can you give me anything further on this?

Cheers

Jamie {ed's note - it should be done before the weekend. Nothing, we have been looking at him for a while, another editor said about him the same time as he put forward the Marveaux story. A good couple of weeks before it reached the papers. But I don't think he has any new info on him yet.}

I've always been impressed with adams and hes out to prove himself today and he is doing it . he is worth about 7 mill i would say and then you either sell or loan poulsen. the three man midfield then would be gerrand merilies and adams with lucas spearing and shelvey as cover.

All this talk of suarez, truran, elia, adam. . just let LFC do thier thing. Patience please. If we bring in no-one, so be it - KK reckons he can work with the current squad anyway. I trust his judgement, I was more concerned under hodgson that we needed new players to raise the teams belief and of a higher quality - now I am more interested to see what KK can bring out of our current players. There are good things happening, leave them to it.

Comolli is low-balling people, great- maybe we'll grab a bargain. KK is throwing the press a ball but keeping it in his hand - let them run with it. NESV are acting whenever required thus far - Hodgson out, Kenny in, debts cleared, deadweight clear out. I am a little sad to see Babel go, and wish him well - atleast we're clearing the way for new players or our young stars.

I can see maybe one signing, at most two - I believe once KK is kept on, summer should be alot more interesting. In the mean time, I am 100% behind the team as always, I suggest all you dreamers and whingers do the same. Who knows - maybe we will get a few signings - but they'll be at the very last minute. . anyone who thinks we would have bought Adam for instance before the Man Utd game is dillusional. Hell, if I could loan them Reina for the match I would. :D There is a small chance he'll sign after, but we will see.

i think his goal ratio warrants such a price tag, ok maybe not 30 mill but 25mill yeah, , , how does he have a bad attitude from his attitude bout not wanting to play for teams who jus throw money about is a good attitude, so he bit a player whooptee damn whooo, , he was being kicked by the player on purpose even when he didn't have the ball, hes lucky he didn't break his nose or jaw, , , and the handball at the world cup, it was knockouts and that goal if he had let it go in woulda knocked his team out anyone woulda done the same in his position. so don't get all self righteous, cos i bet u woulda done the same too. ur jus a hater who thinks all footballers should be inhuman and be perfect robots {ed's note - I mean he is a lazy sod who can't be bothered when things are going badly for him. Perhaps you should find out more about a player before you jump on a bandwagon. He is nothing special and his attitude stinks on the pitch.}

ADAM proving the difference against Man u.

U give me a midfielder in our team who controls the teams tempo and consistenly passes the ball well.NONE. gerrard is not an alonso, lucas is never going to be and merelis is the same sort of player as gerrard.
When he is does arrive, he will be outstanding for us and use will all be eating your words. If he was of a spanish or brazilian nationality, use would all be shouting sign him. FACT! If lucas was of english nationality he would have never been signed either. Fact.
Ed, i'd like your thoughts on my last two points because i know there spot on. {ed's note - I agree on the Adam thing, he would have been surrounded by hysteria if he wasn't Scottish playing for Blackpool. As for Lucas, well that is different, he was player of the year in Brazil as an attacking midfielder, then Rafa played him as an auxiliary defender. The lad has never moaned, whined, whinged, bitched, nothing. He has worked extremely hard and got on with it. His attitude is exemplary and he deserves to be given respect.}

Who is this Horau guy? Sounds like one of Houlier's old useless French signings. We need to be looking at talented youngsters (under 25ish. Not oxlade chamberlain) or established world class players who are coming into their prime with some sell on value. I doubt Suarez will come (another Dutch league import who flops? Too much money anyway and a bad attitude too) warnock stories sound like bulls* t. Comolli buys over rated French players and should not of been bought in! YNWA

Firstly let me explain what they did that was wrong. When your at work, I am assuming you work, do you or do you not have policys on acceptable behaviour?
Im pretty sure that you do. and im pretty sure that if you were to break one of those policy rules you would also be disciplined and asked to explain yourself, if you then did the same thing again! you might be sacked.
On air off air. it doesn't matter. They were 2 high profile men in a position of trust and authority and they had views that the majority of society deems unacceptable, they were not bantering and having a laugh, they were angry and patronising and condecending of someones ability to do a job just because shes female, not because she couldnt do a good job.
And as for its a mans game?. Are you for real!? Over 1m females play football in this country. Up untill 1928 it was a mans vote! Up untill the 60s it was a mans Job ( watch made in Dagenham, you might learn something) up untill the 90s it was a mans armed forces. the world moves on, we grow as human beings and we change our prehistoric views! Long gone are the days where men hid away in men only bars drinking and putting the world to rights whilst the little woman stayed home and looked after the kids! THINK! and be a better man!
ItsNotRocketScience

Ms ItsNotRocketScience,
you talk about grey/ keys being patronising, yet you start with one of the most patronising paragraphs ive read on this site.
in this "pc" world we live in, its all about choices. if the linesperson in question chooses to pursue a career in mens football then so be it. we, as men have to accept that choice.
on the flip side of that, if us men would rather not have women involved in mens football, i think you should accept that choice without whipping off your bras and burning them.
as we all live in a democracy, we should be able to vote. so;
agree- - - - women in male football
disagree- - - thanks but no thanks

To whoever wrote this:

"And has Suarez proven he can cut it in a competitive league? no he hasnt, "

He has scored 81 goals for Ajax in 108 appearances(wiki).

49 of these were in 48 matches last season.

Just remember Kuyt had a great record before we signed him and now you would be lucky if he could hit a double decker bus from 5 yards!


Add Mateja Kezman and Afonso Alves to that list also.

Can i ask the question has the luis Suarez deal fell through because of just the money or because of Comolli's negotiating skills hhhmmmm.

Still think the deal for Suarez can be done for about £18.5 Mil that's the £6mil from Bablel and 12.5 from the original deal but wouldn't surprise me that it's not done at all.

I understand their is still time to make a quality signing or 2 before deadline day. What I can't understand is why we are putting in offers that are well below what other clubs would even consider a decent offer. Yes it may all be part of a plan and we may come in with higher offers sooner rather than later but this is a gamble and a dangerous game. We are P* *ing other clubs off and this game of poker could blow up in our faces. It may be more worryingly we don't have the money to bid what Blackpool Ajax and other clubs want for their players. Whats your opinion ED ?

Wow - we now have some dinosaurs on the site.

Doesn't matter what race, colour, creed, religion or gender - if people can do the job then they should get the job - if a woman can run the line or referee a game as good as a man then why not? Maybe a woman wouldn't bottle it like the that person Mike Dean when Rooney went up to his face and called him a F* * *g W* * r against Spurs, he should have joined his team mate in the bath, maybe a bit of respect may come back into the game - and all these people who say why women wouldn't want to stay and do womens football - check the difference in wages - everybody wants to better themselves.

Another thought - maybe a woman wouldn't Kow Tow to Demento like Mike Riley used to and and what Webb does now.

And before you ask - I'm in a profession that suffers from being PC worse than any other.


But that's the point ain't it?. .reading that I can tell your
A)very sensative. probably gay
B)just gay
C)hoping to come out very soon

The fact that a man cannot be a man and have a manly conversation about anything without having to worry about being labled about being racist, homophobic or sexist is a joke. The fact that we have become a PC wimp of a nation is comical considering the people who made this nation, their exploits in pass times created the greatest empire ever. .and you know what?

They didn't give a damn if they were labelled, because they wasn't wussy people like yourself {ed's note - are you for real? The guy wasn't 'having a laugh' any more than Max Mosley was having a quiet night in. The guy is a sexist pig who was being set up by his colleagues who hated working with him. He had sexually harassed a number of female colleagues and lost his job because of that. It was not the result of a harmless joke, it was the result of him being a brainless, sexist moron with no respect for women.}

The obsession with new signings baffle me.

Yes we are not the strongest our there yet, but we need to let KK see what he has and how he can get them to play before racing in spending or wasting whatever cash the new owners want to spend.

I do feel though we need to get a solid left back in, and definately a back up striker.

Why can the striker not come from our youth ranks, I hear a lot about Pacheco and Suso, I would have to be guided by those that have seen the youth team and reserves in action, as I don't see that much of any of them.

I have seen via Ed (unsure which one) that he would like to see Mavinga a chance at left back.

We have so much young talent available, I for one will not be too sad if we get rid of some supposed big name wasters ( Babel, Cole, Konchesky, Poulsen and Jovanovich ) and use this as a consolidation season, let KK get the team playing as he wants and give some of the youth their chanced to shine and save us some cash in the long run.

Red4Ever {ed's note - it is me that likes Mavinga, he has pace and power, good technically too. I think he would be better than Konchesky and Insua.}

It would be nice if we signed someone of Suarez or honda's quality in this window but I wouldn't be overly disappointed if the club decided to keep their wallet closed for now but decided to give the likes of Pacheco and suso a run in the team under the guidance of Kenny.

well u should be disappointed, cos if we don't get them now then we never will and when it comes to next season we definitly won't be in europe, therefore won't attract star players, only trash we will attract is swp, c.cole, lucina traore, hourau, and more deadwood.

The new Yanks are just as tight as the old ones. All the big talk about the new stadium and investment in new players is all bull. They are just letting the club tick over until another buyer comes in.

You will notice any "transfers" are way below the asking price to make sure they don't happen. Players going out will be released below their value to get them off the wage bill.

No new players, no new stadium just new Yanks.

A couple of rumours out there. Breaking news is that Real have agreed a deal for Adebayor on loan with option to buy. Opens the avenue for us to get Benzema on loan with option to buy as an option instead of Suarez.
As others have said, Charlie Adam is almost imminent and I hope it does fall through.
The question is, if we don't sign any players this window, will people be majorly disappointed? I know I will but I am kind of happy with the restructuring.
NESV made radical changes to Boston Red Sox and some decisions were very questionable too but they ended up with the championship.
Changes made:
Kenny-Manager
Clarke-Assistant
Commoli-Questionable after recent developments? ?
Medical team was replaced I think
Scouting team left
Transfers:
Babel (Hoffeinham) £6-8 Million
Amoo (MK Dons) loan
Stephen Darby (Notts County) loan
Eccleston (Charlton) loan
Jovanovic (Hamburg) £6 Million-Linked

Common sense tells me we must have a striker lined up after letting Babel and the linking of Jova away from Anfield. I guess we need to be strong and have a little faith. The team isn't in bad shape to finish top 6 this season without additions this window.

Am I alone in thinking the Adam deal is reminisant to to Barry deal a few years back?

Also, I'm a little bit concerned with the clubs actions especially DC during this transfer window. For some reason our incompetance are being played out in the public and it also appears DC is grossly misinformed and inept at dealing with player transfers!

This is highlighted in the current negotiations for both Adam and Suarez. Offering a third of the Market value for a player surplus to requirements, out of form, causing internal problems etc etc is understandable but not for a clubs key asset and captain. I just can't get my head round it. Both players are contracted for 18 months + and have the right to value the player at any price they deem fit and rightly so.

Ed, what do you think of this approach and do you see any light at the end of the tunnel? {ed's note - the Adam deal was a case of offering what was seen as a huge profit on a player, they are prepared to go higher and I am sure he will join.

You seem to be "in the know" regarding what is happening, who's coming and who's going etc. As far as the striker situation goes we no doubt need one this window and as you seem adament that we are not going to get suarez, who do you think our new striker will be? Also will we be getting a winger? {ed's note - I really don't know for sure, nothing I have is coming from within Liverpool, I am gathering information from elsewhere and having to piece it together. We definitely have interest in Hoarau and Gervinho, whether they will be signed or not I don't know. I do think Hoarau is the likely striker though, that is my feeling. There is money been prepared for signings, with Babel's sale being put towards the pot, that is all I have from within Liverpool. But the way it was explained to me made it seem that it is unlikely Suarez would join because it would wipe out the entire transfer pot.}
Thanks {ed's note - there is no set budget, I have not said there is, there is always the potential for NESV to input more cash if the right player became available. But they have to be careful how much is put in as the money has to come from somewhere.}

Hi Ed. . Fantastic site mate should have health warning though very addictive, enough of the sweet talk, before you all start moaning he said this & he said that, got a brother that lives in Holland he's been there 25years now got kids who follow ajax, he's been to many home games, he admitted that suarez aint that good, lazy, bad attitude, big time charlie & when things don't go for him he disappears out the game, thinks would be big gamble, especially for the big transfer fee & the fact that the dutch league aint that good, so there you have it an opinion from someone who has actually watched suarez

Ed, in your opinion is it just Adam who we will be signing for the rest of the transfer window, if so what's your view on him because I thought that are weakest positions were winger and striker, definitely not cm anyway. {ed's note - I expect at least one more signing, though I agree it is not what I see as our main priority.}

I'm wondering how it would work with Suarez joining. We use a midfield partner (Gerrard/ Meireles) to go up and support him when we go forward. This makes it harder for the opposition to pick Torres up and people rushing to support as they have the freedom to wander. If we put a partner with Torres it restricts his movement significantly as we saw with Spain in the World Cup when he had to stay centrally. It didn't work with Robbie Keane when we brought him in and Crouch also had to leave.

The other worry I have is taking a midfielder away as we could do with some protection to the back 4. Lucas has a good bash but Poulson is slow and a bit weak and if Gerrard returns you would have to try and control his runs from midfield.

Suarez would play front left in 4-3-3. Not that I think he is coming.

It would be nice if we signed someone of Suarez or honda's quality in this window but I wouldn't be overly disappointed if the club decided to keep their wallet closed for now but decided to give the likes of Pacheco and suso a run in the team under the guidance of Kenny.

Thanks for the reply ED:

One last question to your sir, am i missing something on this whole transfer situation as regards to our transfer budget. I was under the impression we had funds available for signing's regardless of wether we sold or not, as we have now sold babel and it looks like we may have sold jovanovic that's roughly 12 million pounds, plus what we have from the owner's surely there is enough to buy suarez and some left over for other signing's.

In response to the news about Andy Gray getting the sack after comments made off air during the Liverpool match, although he did my head in a bit and bummed the hell out of Man U all the time, i don't see what he's done wrong. You can't seem to say anything these days without the speech police looking to hang you for something. Political correctness gone mad. People should be able to view their opinion like on this site. So what if you agree or not, who cares?. Stop being so sensitive about everything all the time. As it happens and although she (maisy?) made some right decisions, i do not think women should be assisting/ refereeing "men's" football. 1) Its my opinion that they should ref/ assist with "woman's" matches. 2) Football is one of the few things us men have left that's our own and i don't want that tradition being amended because of some political correct bureaucrat who has nothing better to do.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Firstly let me explain what they did that was wrong. When your at work, I am assuming you work, do you or do you not have policys on acceptable behaviour?
Im pretty sure that you do. and im pretty sure that if you were to break one of those policy rules you would also be disciplined and asked to explain yourself, if you then did the same thing again! you might be sacked.
On air off air. it doesn't matter. They were 2 high profile men in a postion of trust and authority and they had views that the majority of society deems unacceptable, they were not bantering and having a laugh, they were angry and patronising and condecending of someones ability to do a job just because shes female, not because she couldnt do a good job.
And as for its a mans game?. Are you for real!? Over 1m females play football in this country. Up untill 1928 it was a mans vote! Up untill the 60s it was a mans Job ( watch made in Dagenham, you might learn something) up untill the 90s it was a mans armed forces. the world moves on, we grow as human beings and we change our prehistoric views! Long gone are the days where men hid away in men only bars drinking and putting the world to rights whilst the little woman stayed home and looked after the kids! THINK! and be a better man!

{ed's note - there is more than one move in the pipeline, the money has to come from somewhere. The money is there for moves, but it would be stupid to get the club in huge debt now when it will affect what we can do in the summer with the financial fair play ruling in place.}


If there is more than one move in the pipeline who is it for? because im getting worried , its getting dangerously close to the end of the window its the 25th january today with 6 days to go , not only have we gotta buy players quick but remember clubs arent gonna wanna lose players on 31st january at 10pm are they? this is the problem if we are going to sign 2 - 3 players we have 3-5 days really to wrap them up. is it likely ed?

Wow - we now have some dinosaurs on the site.

Doesn't matter what race, colour, creed, religion or gender - if people can do the job then they should get the job - if a woman can run the line or referee a game as good as a man then why not? Maybe a woman wouldn't bottle it like the that person Mike Dean when Rooney went up to his face and called him a F* * *g W* * r against Spurs, he should have joined his team mate in the bath, maybe a bit of respect may come back into the game - and all these people who say why women wouldn't want to stay and do womens football - check the difference in wages - everybody wants to better themselves.

Another thought - maybe a woman wouldn't Kow Tow to Demento like Mike Riley used to and and what Webb does now.

And before you ask - I'm in a profession that suffers from being PC worse than any other.

Hi, ed's and poster's,

I don't get some of the people on here at times thinking that we can only get to 6th place at best in the prem this season if you look at the table at the minute we are only 9 points away from 4th now the liverpool of old and their supporters wouldn't be saying in Jan right ok guys we can finish 6th in the league if there was a possabilty that they could do better come on guys weres the faith beleve in ur team i don't think we will get 4th but if its possable i'll keep beleving until the very end.

As for the stick getting give out about our new owners its just wrong its making us look bad esp so of the comments, made me question at times reading some of them if its really a pool fan saying half of the c. . remember H.G now that was a mess! give these new guys time even if they don't get transfers this month look at the bigger picture guys we are better off with them than without their goning to stable our club build a new ground or upgrade anfield get us making proper cash to go back into the club i beleve everything they say as their winners dosnt matter if they are new to football that's why they are trying to get the best people to run the culd in the right way aka the new board
BELEVE GUYS BELEVE! !

Remember Jovanovic had a very good World Cup, so although he has been indifferent for us so far, he probably would have cost us over £10m if we hadn't have got him on a Bosman free transfer. But i'd also take it and run for a player approaching 30 years of age.

This Charlie Adam transfer rumour is giving me nightmares. Why do we need to waste more money on a CM when we have too many at the club already? Lucas, Meireles, Gerrard, Shelvey, Poulsen and Spearing are competing for two positions. As a matter of fact, both Lucas and Meireles have had their best moments when Gerrard was not playing. CM is not the problem as a matter of fact it is by far the most overrated position in modern day football. You need two fast wingers and a good striker and any average CM can run a midfield. Adam looks good for Blackpool because they have what Liverpool don't have: speedy (although average) wingers. That's what we need. Lucas and Meireles need to pass the ball off to players who will beat their man and create goals instead of carrying it because Kuyt and Maxi can't / won't make runs. Why can't we solve the problem we've had forever and are we looking to buy another CM? Am I off on this one? Ed? Someone? Anyone?


Ill say it again , poulsen is S* t so he can leave soon so count him out , lucas? hes improved yeah but is he really that good? if anyone thinks he is soo good list all the qualitys he has ( hes too slow and sooo weak ) that's 2 down , spearing? good player but good at best , don't think hes ever gonna replace stevie g , but charlie adam is in a similar mould to stevie g and can pick out superb passes , hes captain of blackpool and has been superb this season and can also score goals. we do need wingers but we also do a need cm , P.s how is there two cm positions competing? kennys been playing a 4-3-3 with 3 cms , where have you been the last 2 weeks?

Totally agree I posted on here last week that pace is what is feared most in the premiership, as it causes defences to play deeper (so the pacey players can't get in behind), this gives the CM's more time and space on the ball to pick teams apart. Our CM's aren't terrible players but when under pressure with little time on the they ball can only go backwards or sideways (as wiyh most players in the prem).

When Alonso passed people to death, Torres hadn't been ravaged by injuries and was half a yard quicker Stevie G was 3 years younger and no slouch, and of course Alonso was a magnificent passer of the ball. But the pace in front of him gave him the time to get his head up and take people apart.

Ed,
Just had a brain wave! - As we appear to be operating a "if you don't ask, you don't get" policy when it comes to transfer valuations (which by the way i am all for!) Do you think it would be possible to use the money saved to get some of the posters on here some Enlgish lessons? Granted we would need to save 'mega loads of dosh innit bruv', but none the less i think it would be money well spent as these people could then aspire to something, perhaps serving on the tils instead of mopping the floors at Maccy's. Just a thought!

Andy C

Serving on the tils? Enlgish lessons?

Im pretty sure before joining the spelling police one should possibly spell check their own.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to not be Dyslexic for instance? Or to have had the fortune to have had great teachers at school?
Maybe what we should all be concentrating on is what the person has to say before we lambast them for being imbeciles?
Of course we could just take a leaf out of Keys and Grays book and totally besmirch someone before we know any facts about them!

As a woman and a football fan and an ex player! (yes i do know the rules of offside, unlike Mr Gray that doesn't know the rules of employment! ), im glad Andy Gray has been sacked. My initial thoughts were that a slap on the wrist and some educating would suffice but now it turns out that he has had previous (allegedly telling Charlotte Jackson to shove a Microphone down his pants) and manking further comments with Andy Burton (who has been disciplined and i find that ridiculous. he did nowt wrong)
Ive also heard a few rumours that he wasnt the nicest of people to work with, I was already of the opinion he was an arrogant pig anyway.
However, my biggest glee for seeing him go is cos he is a bitter bitter blue nose skanky manc fan that never had a good word to say about Liverpool and always found a way to make a snide comment about us or our players if he got the chance. He was biased in every match we played in.
So bye bye andy! hello Jamie?

Forlan was the star and we have already seen how he struggled in the EPL so why do people think his weaker strike partner would be such a good signing?}

nice to see that somebody else shares my view about Suarez. I believe we could do with more of a target man to compliment Torres if we were to play with two strikers. Or at least a striker that has proved his worth in a decent league

Ed do you believe Suarez would fit in to Kennys style of play? as he only seems to play one striker, cheers. {ed's note - I don't think Suarez is good enough personally, I don't understand why people are so obsessed with him. Forlan was the star and we have already seen how he struggled in the EPL so why do people think his weaker strike partner would be such a good signing?}

"And has Suarez proven he can cut it in a competitive league? no he hasnt, "

He has scored 81 goals for Ajax in 108 appearances(wiki).

49 of these were in 48 matches last season.


Again I say has he proven himself in a good League? I know how many goals he has scored in the Dutch League and i know how many Kuyt scored 71 in 101 for Feyenoord we paid 10m for him and he hasnt been that prolific in the PL.

most of kuyst were either tap ins lucky or penalties lol suarez is a different class to kuyt, suarez scored alot of amazing goals

id just like to add to this that fat ronaldo scored somethin like 45 goals in 2 seasons when he played in holland. . so does that mean kuyt is as good as him? ? . . suarez is wolrd class. simple as! ! !

State of play 1 Feb 11.

Suarez signed = No

Adam signed = yes (6 millionish)

Pacheco to be brought into 1st team and Kuyt will partner Torres.


Expect to see Shelvey in the side a lot more and possibly the introduction of either Sterling and Suso.

Why spend money when the talent is already there! !

Hi ed ,
just got back from my holiday in hospital, what a confusing amount of garbage in the news papers, i think most of them are just speculating, because everything we seem to be doing is well under the radar, i also think at the moment nobody knows what the hell we are doing, or who we are signing. mind you, i am pretty sure babbels departure could be a sign that another striker is on his way; i've got a funny feeling it won't be suarez.
what do you think ed?

Hi Ed,

I think everyone is getting too hung up on signings and thinking it's going to be the end of the world if no signings are made. I think the team as it is at the moment is good enough to get top 6 as this is what we can realistically aim for anyway. Also the management issue is another factor which may affect 'marquee' signings, if the King were not to get the permanent position then funds would be needed for the new manager who would obviously want to stamp his authority and mould the team in his shape. I do however expect a couple of signings to add a little quality and depth such as Charlie Adam.

Thanks For Reading

Ed,
Just had a brain wave! - As we appear to be operating a "if you don't ask, you don't get" policy when it comes to transfer valuations (which by the way i am all for!) Do you think it would be possible to use the money saved to get some of the posters on here some Enlgish lessons? Granted we would need to save 'mega loads of dosh innit bruv', but none the less i think it would be money well spent as these people could then aspire to something, perhaps serving on the tils instead of mopping the floors at Maccy's. Just a thought!

This Charlie Adam transfer rumour is giving me nightmares. Why do we need to waste more money on a CM when we have too many at the club already? Lucas, Meireles, Gerrard, Shelvey, Poulsen and Spearing are competing for two positions. As a matter of fact, both Lucas and Meireles have had their best moments when Gerrard was not playing. CM is not the problem as a matter of fact it is by far the most overrated position in modern day football. You need two fast wingers and a good striker and any average CM can run a midfield. Adam looks good for Blackpool because they have what Liverpool don't have: speedy (although average) wingers. That's what we need. Lucas and Meireles need to pass the ball off to players who will beat their man and create goals instead of carrying it because Kuyt and Maxi can't / won't make runs. Why can't we solve the problem we've had forever and are we looking to buy another CM? Am I off on this one? Ed? Someone? Anyone?

Ed, its past 5pm on the 25th of January with only 6 days left till it closes. Surely the babel deal will get us to buy a striker as we only have 1 good one. Plus, if we were to sign Suarez then it would have to be within the next 2-3 days or Ajax would not have enough time to get a replacement.What other strikers are we looking at and is Adam definitely signing? I would hate us to fail to sign anybody this window after loaning out 2 youngsters and selling babel.

Far be it from me to tell a football club how to do their job but when i want something, a specific product. I will go to the place selling it for the cheapest price. This will almost always come in the form of a store having a closing down sale or the like.

Ajax are in a lot of debt, we are right to offer what we think is right for their player. It is up to them wether or not they accept, the player comes with a lot of baggage so i think £20 is a big risk.

There are a lot of other clubs in huge debts around the world though, Roma, Valencia, Barcelona and Real Madrid amongst others. IMHO, we should fishing around these, we've already been rumoured to be linked to Mata. Ed, do you think we're right to be offering what we are for Suarez? (if we even are)

{Editor's Note: The Liverpool offer is 15M euro. If they want the player I would expect a bid of 25-30M euro would work.}

To the bloke who asking if the game is on tele tomorrow evening, try going the game you turkey buzzard! Hi Ed/ Eds just wondering what your thoughts are regarding steve gerrard returning to the side tomorrow, id like to see him in central midfield dominating the game and braking forward regulary as we are at home, with raul staying just off torres as his performances have improved in the last two games in that position? thanks ed. Oh what do you expect by next monday maybe one signing? Cheers Phil

{Editor Note: Well Steven returning will be good, hopefully his return doesn't mean that Meireles will be moved further back, they should both be getting forward. And I'm just hoping we sign someone.}

What the h*ck is a turkey buzzard if I was the guy who he was talking to I would be learning to read egyptian hieroglyphics because that must be the most ancient insult ive ever heard.Did you go back in time for that slang terminology phil.Oh and about people who can't get to games I know plenty of people in Liverpool who will be watching that match on the tube so how does going to the game make you a bigger fan than them.

I agree that the 12.7 million was a disrespectful bid and was us trying to rip off ajax who are in debt.
i hope we get 2 wingers because along with a striker we need pace and width. I think Johnson at lb is fine he just needs a little time to adjust, kelly has been best player under Kenny.

Madrid sources claim that Atletico are resigned to losing Sergio Aguero to Real, who are ready to pay his buy-out clause of over £40million.

Real are also rumoured to be looking at Fernando Llorente at Athletic Bilbao - but would only move for him if Karim Benzema moved on.

Think we have a chance of Aguero in the summer Ed 40 million is reasonable in this era?

{Editor's Note: It is not simply the transfer fee. At present Aguero earns arounf £120k per week after tax (so around £200k a week or so before tax). Aside from Manchester City, I don't see that any English club would be willing to match this deal. If for no other reason than you would have Torres and Gerrard knocking on the manager's door demanding a raise. I really don't see it as viable.}

{Editor's Note: Don't expect there to be a tie or dependency on sales in this respect.

Liverpool won't be getting Suarez its too public and not the way we do things. I think the media coverage is coming from Ajax and Suarez's agent and we are not in for him at all. This could mean that we are negotiating for Aguero instead.
If you had a choice between Suarez and Aguero ed who would you go for and why?

{Editor Note: I'd prefer Aguero but we're not in for him.}

Not sure why Ajax want 25 -30m they know that we need reinforcements and are trying to swindle so more money i think 20 mill would be fair and have to be accepted. i hope Suarez puts in a transfer request to help us out. I agree that the 12.7 million was a disrespectful bid and was us trying to rip off ajax who are in debt.
i hope we get 2 wingers because along with a striker we need pace and width. I think Johnson at lb is fine he just needs a little time to adjust, kelly has been best player under Kenny.

As usual we are having a dose in the transfer market while all the rest get on with it , wake up Liverpool board and Mr. Comolli time is against us, you had a whole month to know who it is you want to buy and how much it will cost you so now get off your backside and put the money where your mouth is you and the liverpool board, because this at the minute is becoming very silly and as fans we are frankly fed up of it. Since when did a world class player cost less than 20 million.

Ajax are said to want Dirk Kuyt in the Luis Suarez deal, this must be a load of tosh, as they said they could not afford Babel's wages, Kuyt will be on the same if not higher wages than Babel was. This move will go through i feel, Ajax want the best deal, but they're going about it entirely wrong. I feel £20m will get Suarez, which is quite an amount more than the £12.7m were said to have offered. Alvaro Negredo is said to be the backup option, but he is not good enough - he will adapt to the physical nature of the English game but he won't guarantee 15-20 goals a season, he does not look capable. He also would not fit into the 433 or 4231 formation used recently. For me if the Suarez doesn't go through, Honda will be signed on deadline day!

Just a little insight into the blackpool owners for some of you reds!
The oystons are notoriously selfish people when it come to distributing finance! For the new training ground they are building they bought the land from Oystens own land so he will get money straight from the club into his back pocket. .
Also they would not even buy a cover for the pitch which resulted in Ipswich going half's on one with them (ipswich wanted to play game vs bpool and thought it necessary) and upon completing the fixture took there half of the cover with them back to ipswich!
These are the type of people we are dealing with when it comes transfers!
I know it sounds a little far fetched but i can 100% guarantee that this is true! Its hillarious to be fair but that's the lengths blackpool will go to to save money and accumulate money for themselves!

People saying Comolli is getting a ticking off from Henry and Werner are clearly lost. Obviously if Comolli made an offer for a player the owners signed off on it. Clearly Holloway is being a whiny little b!tch trying to get more for Adam; he did it first with Villa and Houllier, and now he's moved to LFC and Comolli.

I don't like Comolli tipping targets to Canal+ but I don't see how he insulted either Ajax or Blackpool like the press are making it out to be.

I think it is refreshing that NESV are showing some restraint during this transfer window. By showing restraint they might not only bring the price down on their targeted players, but also lower the wages of those players.

Game on, NESV, it's been a great 100 days with you in charge!

As i said about two weeks ago suarez deal was no where near being ready to sign for liverpool. The player does want to come to Liverpool but it isn't going to be January. The board members arent sure what the future holds wether KK is in charge or wether the possibility of bringing someone else and having to spend big again for them to get there players.

Liverpool may make one or two signings but don't expect anything over 8 million.

Most likely Adam and warnock

We paid 20m max for torres my friend so get your facts straight before you call people stupid. And has Suarez proven he can cut it in a competitive league? no he hasnt, Kuyt scored bucket loads of goals in the Dutch league but didn't do so well in the English. Only got to the Semi's cheating, bites players the 30m they want to way to much for him! he is still a huge risk.

Whilst King Kenny is contacting Galatasaray FC (12 in league 20pts of top) and Porto FC (top of league by 8 points clear) to make bids for Arda Turan (12m) and Hulk (18m)

To all the people moaning about our miserly offers for Suarez and Adam ask yourselves has anyone else offered more than we have for them?
No. Therefore there is no point in immediately offering 25 mill for Suarez and 8 mill for Adam.
My guess is that we will sign Adam later in the week for around 6 mil with maybe Pacheco or Spearing going on loan to Blackpool and we will sign Suarez on deadline day for about 18 mill when Ajax finally crack. It is all a game of poker at the moment.
The majority of any deals during a transfer window are done on deadline day remember.

one other thing i listened to oystons interview today on talksport. . . . . . . how blinkered is he or is he just that stupid, he accused liverpool of running to the media, holloway has been everywhere this week spouting C*&P while Kenny has kept dignified. i mean they have also blamed houllier, what next tv for showing his players encouraging further interest. the worst thing is the media have taken all this in. .

When does this window close? anybody? is it 2nd of feb, because it opened later? whenever it is, theres still plenty of time for deals to go through. only takes a few hours to complete a deal, we have about a week. even if we don't bring anyone in, i believe the squad is strong enough now to get into, at least, top 7, barring injuries. sometimes its not about the names on the teamsheet, its the heart and fight in the team, which i think, is slowly growin within the team. fa cup shows us that every year. not about the size of the dog in the fight, but the amount of fight in the dog.

It all seems a bit strange, I don't think man city help any english clubs with the way they throw money around and darren bent moving for that money is stupid. I think Liverpool are being very tight, I want them to sign the best but you can't do that offering 15m euros, eveyone knows suarez is worth more than that. it seems very simple (but probably not) if ajax want 35 and we offered 15 there is a compromise in the middle, of 25. i reckon 22 plus add ons would be a fantastic price for suarez and a good deal for both clubs. these last few years have been 1 step forward 2 steps back this season seems to be 2 leaps forward but no f* *ing signings! ! come on NESV we need you to spend some of your hard earnt money, I don't think champs league is out of the question with 4 quality additions, turan, honda, suarez, young,

I would love to see Llorente in the red of liverpool he would be very complimentary to Torres and that is what we need. Someone who can bring the best out of Fernando, not someone whose style will clash and then it all goes pear-shaped! Or even the hugely under-rated Nilmar. For when Robbie Keane was in his peak he was a fantastic little player, but Nilmar for me is even better. We had Robbie Keane and it was a shambles thanx to Rafa, but with KK it is a different ball-game. Nilmar or Llorente. and i ithink we could get either for £20m. Good business as far as im concerned. also, Llorente-to-Real is in the balance so we should defo test the water! Ed?

Whilst King Kenny is contacting Galatasaray FC (12 in league 20pts of top) and Porto FC (top of league by 8 points clear) to make bids for Arda Turan (12m) and Hulk (18m).

* *Some of our 'fans' are so out of tune with how our club operates it's un-real. Blackpool and Ajax have both used the media in desperate attempts to bump-up the price of their players. Blackpool have a history with Adam, in terms of court-cases, non-payments etc, and Ajax are after Kuyt in any potential deal. Apart from an old interview Commolli gave to Canal+, wherein he spoke of players we were never realistically in for, nobody from the club has publically mentioned any current targets. Holloway has publically said he wants Adam to play for Liverpool and that the Chairmen Oyston turned our bid down, but Holloway was wrong to speak of Commolli in the press. Henry and Werner have a long-standing respect for Commolli, and so far, he has gone about his business very well.* *

Rush and Keegan both came from lower league teams and were instant hits

Or if we need to consider a player from Lille, currently top of Ligue 1, how about their present top scorer Moussa Sow who is the leading scorer in Ligue 1, with 15 goals in 19 matches, probably mostly set up by Hazard and Gervinho, but he's the one who hit the back of the net. .

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.

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

Thanks to the ed that replied to my post yesterday. I am sceptical on the potential signing of suarez. i watch most european football and i have seen suarez in alot of matches, this, and last season, and he can go missing, like berbatov, however, suarez always has that moment of brilliance in him which was quite often because the dutch league doesn't have the quality of the english, spanish, german or italian leagues. against good defenders i am yet to b convinced however he won't b the main man for liverpool. that is obv fernando so i think with the undoubted relief of pressure that one will give the other i think this partnership could blossom. but like ANY liverpool fan, i am optimistic lol ;)

Ed. what are the chances of getting Honda?!?! Just watching the Asian Cup game and he is by far the best player on the pitch. He's exactly what Torres needs, someone who can give him good service with flick ons and through balls! IMO we don't need a target man, we just need players that can give Torres service!

{Editor's Note: If the club are interested in Honda they need to tell CSKA and then take the chance to strike a deal this week. They may have done that of course.}

We shouldn't judge NESV or comolli too soon.
comolli brought in modric and bale to spurs. Also, we have to be tough negotiators. eg. we offer 15 for suarez, ajax want 25 and eventually when push comes to shove they compromise at 20. Thats how business works and only man city/ real madrid would pay a few extra million for nothing. And that's why so many deals are done on the last day.
I don't think comolli alone determines how much a player is worth. I'm sure they have more sophisticated ways of determining a players value based on past performance and a huge number of different factors. I could be wrong but only time will tell. have patience my fellow fans, the future is bright

Dani Alves to man c

cheek bid for m richards then? right back or centre back , g johnson can then do one
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

why waste money on richards? - can he play left back? - no. We have Kelly who is soon to be the best rb in the league and future england rb for years to come (providing he doesn't move back over to the middle.
Kelly is far better already than richards

my point is that we would have Richards and Kelly in the same back line one at right back the other at centre back along side Agger


Kelly/ Richards kelly/ richards Agger new leftback

Richards has pace that one thing missing from the back line
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Yeah i agree with the pace but surely if were going to spend £5-10 million? - then surely this would be better spent on a quality LB? dnt forget we have danny wilson who im sure KK will be looking to blood soon. I just think we should use the money wisely and buy what we have needed for the past 5 years.
(ps. Kelly and Wilson are very pacy - Kelly's recovery when someone goes past him (not very often) is amazing)

Think about it why would we have let Babel go and consider letting Jovanovic go if something wasn't going to happen. Just think it is a case of being a little more patient and see what comes about this week.

We need a left winger and a central defender as Skrtel has lost the plot this season and I am not convinced that Carragher has the legs anymore. What the chances on us getting anyone ED

I don't listen to any of them Quigz. But i do pay attention to the direct quotes being related to Commolli. Like i said they just repeated what he said on a french tv station.

So go to Givemefootball.com and get the french tv stations name then judge for yourselve. Or maybe just read my posts more carefully in future and you'll see that i never said it was said by Givemefootball.com but by a french radio/ tv station, in which Commolli was appearing on.

Liverpool will not make any major signing in this transfer window, but will wait until the summer. This is the right approach as the money some of these clubs are asking for players is rediculous. Suarez is a talented player but not 20+ million, Adams no more than 6.

This is the right approach for Liverpool to take, we don't have the kind of money Man city, Chelsea and Utd have so sinsible buys that are best for the club long term is what is needed.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Yes, everyone knows that the summer is the time to make sensible signings. We made a bunch of them last summer. No-one competed with us for Cole, Jovanovic, Konchesky, Poulsen, Wilson, Jones and Meireles. Sensible signings, that's how you rebuild a squad.

! Torres issue was always with the medical staff and not the club. . His bad form was a mix between not being fit enough, Lack of confidence in his play and about his injury among turmoil within the club. .
All theese issues have now been resolved, Liverpool have a legend at the helm who understands how to attack other teams and now with or WITHOUT a partners Torres will have lots of support going forward something which has been lacking in the last two seasons, You ever though Suarez just might not be our number one target but the owners though he might be worth a punt if they can get him cheaper?
They have openly said they will not throw cash the the problem and hope it goes away and also said they will make sure all transfers are well deligated!
TO ALL YOU LFC 'FANS' SLATING THE OWNERS AND THE CLUB HAVE A WORD WITH YOUR SELF. . JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW OUR TARGETS DOSNT MEAN WE HAVE NONE!

What is going on ed.
In the hope of getting players at the right price, arent our owners going too far, valuing players at less than half of the right price? Thats being cheap. I don't see intent.
I think suarez is worth a starting bid of £20mil , and adam is worth a starting bid of £6mil atleast.
And this is january as well! No one would get convinced to negotiate at this point !
I don't see us getting anyone but adam, which also seems unlikely.

People need to get realistic about the club and spending, do we really want to spend £8m on Charlie Adam, he is worth £5m max - he has a sweet left foot, but he has a team built around his flaws at blackpool, he will not get such luxuries here.
Suarez maybe worth £20m tops, anything more its getting towards the amount we spent on Torres, and we need to evaluate whether he would have that impact on the team.
I saw Kranjcar being linked on here, he would be a sensible buy - adapted to PL, and can cover a variety of positions and is better than Babel, who is leaving so maybe for the 1st time in a while would sell someone and replace them with a higher quality player.

Ajax want Dirk Kuyt as part of any deal involving suarez! IMO 12.7 million is a joke of an offer for suarez. ED why don't commolli and whoever else involved in transfers just sit down and negotiate a deal and if its not for them move on rather than it being reported in the media I.E. our bid for adam which made us look bad in the media. DCG

Please can you explain to me how we looked bad in the media regarding the Adam bid?? we offered more then Villa if im correct, Charlie Adam isn't worth 14mill like Hollaway is saying no one will pay that for him. Secondly not once has liverpool mentioned anything in the media about our bids and i don't even think we have bid for Suarez if you can show me where we have bid for him when someone from Liverpool or Ajax have stated in their statements we have bid then i will say sorry. The only clubs wanting to take this to the media are Blackpool and Ajax to try push up the price! for all you know we could have moved on weeks ago but the media is still covering it as they have nothing to go on.

I am probably going to stop coming to this site until the summer as some of our fans are really clueless.

LFC420

{Editor's Note: Broadly I agree with the post. The media are not helping Liverpool's cause at all - but there have been statements made about the bids from Ajax (confirming the meeting yesterday at Schipol, the 15M euro bid and the 35M euro asking price), from Blackpoll (accusing Liverpool of leaking information to the press - but I cannot confirm that they did) and from Comolli (who has given three interviews to Canal+ including references to Suarez, Gervinho and Hazard). There is no question about the authenticity of the Ajax statement. I would hope that Comolli will say no more, at least for a while. As for Mr Oyston's statement this morning, I know of nothing to substantiate that the club has done anything wrong or leaked any information, nor "gone running" to the press.}

Really not liking the stories that are coming out about Liverpools transfer targets and the way we are going about acquiring them.

We seem to be making ridiculously low bids for players. Offers that are obviously going to be rejected out of hand. There are only 2 reasons I can see for this. The first is that it is a is a ploy to unsettle the player and hope he hands in a transfer request, and buy him for a lower price. That is the way Old Whiskey has done his business and bullied all the other EPL sides for the last 15years. Please don't say we are going down that route.

The second is that it is a cheap and nasty bit of free advertising, the same thing that Kenny Huang did with our club in the summer, and got slaughtered for.

I for one wouldn't be outraged if the owners used this transfer window to remove the players that shouldn't have the privledge to wear the Liverpool shirt.

The squad needs to be trimmed to the players with the world class ability, players with passion for the club that would play for free and young players with bags of potential.

We shouldn't be held to ransom over players like Suarez and Adam. If our valuation is not good enough, then walk away, for too long we've paid over and above for players because we are Liverpool and always recouped very little. If players come in this transfer window then let them be our No1 target at our price. With or without new players we won't make the top 4. We can then use the summer window to build a squad deserving of the badge.

your thoughts.

Hi Ed(s),

I have a theory about what will be happening at anfield and hence the delay in securing a stiker. I think Torres may have told the club he wants to leave but will stay until the summer, the club have reluctantly had to accept this as he hasnt looked himself for some time and they would prefer to cash in on him rather than let his form drop again and lose value. This would explain the sudden return to form from Torres as he needs to put himself in the 'shop window', i wouldn't be surpirsed if he hit another 15 goals between now and the end of the season. We would not be looking for a 20m plus striker if torres was staying, we don't need 2 out and out goal scorers but someone that holds the ball up well for torres to feed of and chips in with 10-15 goals a season, this is why we have re-assesed our striking options and will hold out for a 'big' signing in the summer, 25m for suarez is not good business and the board know he will be avail for 5-8m less than that in the summer.
I do think we will be signing one of honda, turan, m'villa, adam. that will be it for this trans window. Its a shame but torres will go, you can't realy blame him either.

Ajax want Dirk Kuyt as part of any deal involving suarez! IMO 12.7 million is a joke of an offer for suarez. ED why don't commolli and whoever else involved in transfers just sit down and negotiate a deal and if its not for them move on rather than it being reported in the media I.E. our bid for adam which made us look bad in the media.

So now Charlie adam is the 'new xabi alonso'. Which was how Mereiles ex-manager described Raul wasn't it?

I see we're also rumoured to be back in for Krancjar BUT only if Charlie Adam deal fails. I know krancjar's versatile, but I thought he was better in the wide positions (defence/ midfield). Perhaps he's the 'new fabio aurelio'. Although we still have the original.

Krancjar at £3m doesn't sound a terrible deal, but hardly a priority.

All this huff and puff on Suarez and Adam in the media doesn't entirely convince. Adam strikes me as a KK target and I can see now that we're playing with 3 in the centre again that bolstering that department can't do any ahrm, but I'm surprised it got this acrimonious this quickly. I'm sure there's a lot less to this than meets the eye.

Same with suarez. At £15m he may represent reasonable value. But beyond that it looks more like folly.

So either Comolli is a carp negotiator (described as incoherent in one report) or else its all a smoke screen.

If you believe what's in the media, then all the leaks and rumours seem to be emanating from commolli, whilst Kenny's presenting a dignified, respectful on the record approach.

I think a player like Hulk would suit our needs better than Suarez.

I know we need a decent alternative to torres and n'gog, and more pace on the flanks, but it has to be a balance between maintaining what kenny has built in the last fortnight, avoiding the disruption of too many new faces and having cover for the inevitable injury crisis.

Babel has gone so we need to replace him. Is suarez the best option? I like him (at the right price), but there are clearly other irons in the fire. And the fact that Kenny is willing to dip into the reserves more than his predecessor(s) suggests that we shouldn't expect too much.

I know NESV have said they will invest in the squad and hopefully they will do so in this window but is what is the upper limit of what they can spend due to the FFP rules.

About £25m + sales for this entire year would be my guess?

at the beginning it was 20m then it rised to 25m now all of a sudden without scoring a goal his price is now 30m! ! RIDICULOUS! ! !

I did say at the beginning of the transfer window i didn't expect much business 2 b done. Mainly because nesv kept saying on lfc tv jan is a bad window. The intrest in players is real but i think mainly to make fans think they are trying to do business. Most business will be in the summer after giving KK time with the current squad to asses who he wants to keep or let go. .If we were serious we wud bid 18/ 20 m + babel for suares. .15m won't do it and they know this. .Ian holliway is being a D* * though he paid 500k for this guy and reckons he is worth 14m. .forget what he is worth to u and your team it is what other sides are willing to give u. . I would agree with adam if he went on strike to get his dream move. .Holliway is playing mind games with him. .

Oh expect us to go for messi nxt week 10m + Ngog. .

Hazard 4m + maxi swap. .

Lukaku 1.5m offered. .

If, as most on here seem to think, the Suarez deal is dead, we have had three managers and two sets of owners who all knew that we desperately needed a striker and the club has come up short. This looks more and more like a systemic problem within the club which needs to be addressed. I wish I knew the answer coz if I did I'd be a rich man.

Hi Ed, if we weren't ever in the hunt for Suarez's signature as you and the other Ed's have repeated in the past; why are they considering reporting us to Fifa for 'tapping up' their player?

Just recently you've been getting quite flippant with your readers who ask you for information. You occasionally respond with info as if you are in the know, but you have maintained that we were never in the hunt for him!

Please respond.

{Editor's Note: It will have been another Ed that may have said that the club were never after Sanchez. I have never said that. My view on Sanchez was that regardless of interest in the player, he would not be moving to Liverpool - I said the same about Dzeko and have said the same about Hazard and Sanchez.

The reason for being flippant is because there are thousands of posts per day that need to be looked at and people ask the same questions repeatedly because they simply cannot be bothered to see if there question has already been answered.}

It doesn't look like we will be signing anyone as we are trying to force clubs to sell at well below their asking prices. Suarez Ajaxs best player we only offered just over half of what he is worth, whilst Adam again Blackpools best player and we only offered half reportedly £4 million.

If we are to invest I don't think we will get Suarez for anything less then £20 million whilst Adam i think would get the go ahead at around £8-£9 million.

Please NESV back up your official statement from a few weeks ago that we would be backed with geniune funds if you trully believe Suarez and Adams are the right players to add quality to our team then please pay up the few extra million for each player before we lose out on both a few extra million know is better then losing players we can't replace later and would cost far more then the extra 8-10 million required to capture both Suarez and Adam this week, i mean come on you just made £6 million for Babel which I think is a loss as he is worth more than that.

I think people need to get a grip, something that as yet has not been mentioned when it comes to players values are the new rules that are about to kick in, i.e. you can only purchase players according to your clubs profit?? ? Ed's I suppose you will all know more about this and can explain? But my point is that players valuations are about to half i.e. Babel, Aqualani etc. so why should we pay £15m for Suarez when with the new rules he is only worth £12.5 same for N'Zogbia £7m Adam £4m.

My point is if you double those fees then that would be the price a year ago, I think Ajax know this as does every club out there and it's wishful thinking on there part if they think otherwise. Ed any thoughts on the new rules? and how the hell are Man s* tty gonna get away with it? I know they are building a casino or something?

We you all stop being impatient.The owners have stated that there is money to spend.Its time to show failth in KK.January is a difficult time to sign anyone and because teams do not want to lose their best players the price increases massively.Clubs are more willing to do business in the summer where they have time to replace top players who leave.

The team are starting to show more confidence and yes it would be nice to bring players in but if we don't then that's just the way it is. We may even see some of our younger players getting a chance.


The American owners presently have done nothing wrong.They have stated they have a long term plan and they also know they need to invest in the squad and stadium.Give them some time for god's sake.

We should be happy that we have no debt.

Liverpool will not make any major signing in this transfer window, but will wait until the summer. This is the right approach as the money some of these clubs are asking for players is rediculous. Suarez is a talented player but not 20+ million, Adams no more than 6.

This is the right approach for Liverpool to take, we don't have the kind of money Man city, Chelsea and Utd have so sinsible buys that are best for the club long term is what is needed.

If its trust that amoo has gone on loan now too. that means we are really short on striker options. .
all that would be left would be milan. ngog and torres. pacheco can play there at a push, but other than torres none of them will set the world alight leading our line. .

this to me makes me think we should all calm down abit, players will be coming. .
the players we are getting rid of though, are rumoured to earn far too much for there standard of play. milan is meant to be on 100 grand a week, i think more like 70-80 but again that's 60 - 70 grand too much. babel the same i would expect him to be on any less that 40 grand a week, again not worth that amount. .

{Editor's Note: Jovanavic's wages are distorted by his signing on fee being spread over his contract.}

am sure even adam and suarez both would cost 170 grand a week in wages. . cut the wage bill gives up more to spend on transfers. .

there are more players at liverpool on too much money, and this is what the owners said at the beginning, they are doing the right thing and i will stick my neck on the line and tell you now we will sign 2 players this window.

{Editor's Note: This relates to a meeting between club representatives and the agent of Suarez. There is nothing to stop them meeting, but because the meeting took place in Amsterdam the argument is that it must have been about Suarez and Ajax should have been informed. Strictly speaking they are right if that is true. It would have been a dumb thing for Comolli to have done if true, but it is should not be a big deal.}

End of the day Ed, How on earth can Ajax prove that the meeting was about Suarez it could have been about anything, that's why the tapping up rule is a joke, you can't speak to our player ok i will get a friend to speak to his agent to tell him and nothing can be done about that, that's life. Im so sick of Suarez rumours i just want the window to shut now, I believe we shouldnt be held to ransom as our squad is good enough to make Europa this season and kick on from there, two bad seasons but the back of Hicks, Gillett & Hodgson i will take that, to many people want a quick fix spend millions now, bet if it was their money they wouldn't be so quick to spend over the odds.

Hi, Ed, not a rumour but just something that might not have come up -

by Premier League rules, teams can have a maximum of 21 registered players at any one time in the season. According to the liverpool .tv website, we currently have 20 registered players, which would mean we could only sign 1 player who would be legible to play in the premiership?

once Babel goes, and only if we lose someone else (Konk, anyone?) could we sign more than one additional player, since I doubt anyone would want to sign without even getting premier league play this season. expect only 1 or 2 signings unless someone else goes (have I mentioned Konchesky?)

{Editor's Note: The number is 25 players who are over 21 including no more than 17 that are not home grown. Nothing to worry about.}

Why the hell are we offering like 1M for players worth 20M?! I know that's obviously not the actual figures but it represents our feble intentions because these clubs are never going to accept these sh*tty bids because they are waaaay below their actual valuation. But then Liverpool go and let players like babel gor for 6.7M, Keane for a cut price, Aquilani will go for around half of what we paid . and then we wonder why we're where we are in the table. I could run liverpools transfers better. Utterly disgraceful.
P.S play Pacheco!

why waste money on richards? - can he play left back? - no. We have Kelly who is soon to be the best rb in the league and future england rb for years to come (providing he doesn't move back over to the middle.
Kelly is far better already than richards

my point is that we would have Richards and Kelly in the same back line one at right back the other at centre back along side Agger


Kelly/ Richards kelly/ richards Agger new leftback

Richards has pace that one thing missing from the back line

There was a good article on FiveLive last night, talking about transfers and players values. The very salient point was made that a player's value is what a buyer is prepared to pay. If Bpool value Adam at £14m, fair enough but no one will buy him at that. So he's not worth that.
If you're quoted silly money - have a negotiation and if the money asked is still silly, stay away !
We'd all do that ourselves. What's the problem?
Stop getting on Comolli's back. Anyway there's a few days left.
Just cos City with their oil money distort the market, doesn't mean everyone else has to go bust trying to compete with that. Develop the youngsters if we can't buy.

I have full faith in King Kenny, Comolli and mr Henry but I'm getting disheartened by how many of our transfer links seem to be braking down.
I mean Van Bommel has now signed for Ac Milan, Urby Emanuelson has gone elsewhere and now the Suarez and Adam talks have stalled. I'd like to see us being more dominent in the transfer market, personally I'd be signing players we could easily get at good prices. ie, Chris Samba-£6m, Ste Warnock-£3m, N'Zogbia-£9m and we should be putting in a solid final £7m bid in for Adam!
Through the ranks we've got 3 possible 1st teamers over the next 12months as in Pacheco, Connor Coady and Sauso!
That way we've virtually transformed the squad for just £25m and it would be much stronger! !

Ssn reporting that ajax may complain against liverpool to fifa , for pursuing suarez's agent pere gardiola without club's permission , looks like we are not gonna get him .wonder if this is going to be another one of those transfer windows where we won't sign a striker even though every single person in the club knows how badly we need one

vishal

{Editor's Note: This relates to a meeting between club representatives and the agent of Suarez. There is nothing to stop them meeting, but because the meeting took place in Amsterdam the argument is that it must have been about Suarez and Ajax should have been informed. Strictly speaking they are right if that is true. It would have been a dumb thing for Comolli to have done if true, but it is should not be a big deal.}

When Kenny went to Blackburn, his first signing was from where?

Answer - Blackpool.

Maybe its a good omen that he should push the boat out for Charlie Adam. He looks a fine player to me. His passing reminds me of Glenn Hoddle but he has far more fight and is very good in the air. With him and Gerrard in the same team it could be the start of something special. Im told that Commoli flew back in last night for another agents meeting. Not sure who with though

Suarez is worth 20m easily and Adam around 6-8m. If we were serious, should have bid properly and both would be in the line-up for Wed night.

We all understand the art of negotiation but making rediculous bids makes the club look stupid and shows no real intent.

I could be proven wrong, but to me NESV have decided not to spend now but do not want uncertainty amongst fans - hence these rubbish bids and Comolli to come out on 1 feb stating "None of the players we were after we available for the right price". Watch and learn.

Common Ed's - stick up for NESV.

Our current predicament shows the glaring need for a chief executive to be appointed as soon as possible. Damien Comolli, by Arsene Wenger's description is a scout! Why he is negotiating transfers I have no idea. He should be the one identifying the players, not trying to buy them - i'm sure there are more capable negotiators within the club. Brian Barwick I have heard is the man in the frame for the job, as a life-long Liverpool fan, seen in the box on many occasions and having experience in such a role with the FA, he seems a good choice.

If we have bid £12.7m for Suarez, Ajax should be insulted, and i'm not surprised they're rumoured to be reporting us to FIFA. He is clearly worth more than that and if you take into account Dzeko and Bent deals. . it's pretty poor. £17m would have been a reasonable opening offer, considering his record in their league and internationally.

Comolli needs to be educated in the Liverpool Way, Kenny has been like a vault with regards to transfers, where as Damien has been spouting off to French TV about potential targets. . this needs to be sorted fast otherwise Comolli's actions will completely undermine what Kenny is trying to achieve.

At least you have come back on here to say you were wrong, fair play to you. However not sure what you mean about comoli disturbing the deal with his approach, without his approach how were they going to know who wanted the player! It would of just been a couple of ajax officials sat in a room saying "someone wants to buy Suarez, i don't know who, or how much, but im sure someones wants to buy him". What came first the chicken or the egg.

I think Liverpool Football Club are sending out a message, we are a serious football club and we want run our club in a correct manner.
No more stupid prices for players, those days are gone (Citeh only club at moment and soon they will have to abide to the new FIFA rules).
This is the new reality, lazy clubs wanting to be bailed out by other clubs (ie Ajax want LFC to clear their debt) for their fiscal incompetence.
Liverpool are now on an even keel and the new owners will run the club responsibly and not fall into the trap that has ruined many other clubs (and few more in the future - ManUre).
I say, good on them, we are the most succesful club in England and deserve respect as one the the top five clubs in the world.
We will not be broken by lesser clubs asking stupid prices.

I'm struggling to understand the current flavour of the day and having a moan at the club for not offering enough dosh. Is this right? Are we that desperate?

It's probably a good job some of the fans aren't in charge of the finances.

There would be big problems if we started throwing money at the cause of all our ill's. Just paying whatever the selling club says is pure ludicrous and i cannot believe for one moment that is what all the fans are advocating we should be doing.

We put completely the wrong message out to every club, if we start offering stupid top of the range prices. We'll start to be treated differently and a little like what French clubs do 'one price for others and a second price for the English! '

Therefore i feel it is entirely right that a player has a price limit placed upon him. Whether Comolli is the right man for this job is open to another thread.

But seriously guys, just because we won't pay £30M for Suarez and £14M for Adam, doesn't make us a bad club.

How many of you lot moaned about paying £18M for Johnson, yet Rafa said at the time he had to overpay the odds because he wanted him?

I'd like to have £1000 of your money and go into a shop looking to buy a lap top and come back with a penny change and a laptop that only costs £400 under my arm and have a look at your face!

So lets be realistic. Come on chaps. The moaning just hasn't stopped. We've got rid of H&G and now Hodgson, the feel good factor is back on the pitch, this is the January window remember, which STILL has a week to go.

Perhaps we need to go to sleep and wake up at the end of August 2011 and see where we are at. Then we'll have a little more evidence to go on to have a moan.

Until then for God's sake stop moaning. And just recall what Kenny said last week. What we may bring in this window, may not be the high profile names the fans are looking for but they'll be bought in to do a job.

So if we sign a 'small' name lets not moan about that fact because you've been warned.

So Ajax can't get the money they want so they will try and bribe us by saying they wil report us for an illegal approach for Suarez. None of which had come out prior to them finding out we won't pay there extortionate price (hes not worth near that the dutch leauge is as good as the championship at best. Surly meeting with a players agent cannot be tapping up as he could represent verious players. I think Ajax just want rid at this moment and are trying to play a dirty game. I say let Ajax say what they will, leave them keep there player and we just go for someone without a media circus. Suarez won't sign a new contract after this and will allow his contract go to the final months and they will receive heck all for him. Kenny will work his magic and get us a Rush or a Barnes.

Dont trust their reports, they have lied before and they will continue to lie.
The club is in good hands now and instant fixes are not available. The club is being well run considering we have no CEO at the moment!
Trust in the club and its owners, don't fall for the misinformation being thrown at us. Keep the faith, we still have a week to go and I am sure something will be delivered. If not we will have to wait until the summer.

All this talk of disrespect from Blackpool and Ajax is nonsense KK says he wants to do things the right way and then Oyston says he turned down a £4 mil bid from us to me that's disrespectful all they had to do was say they received a bid that was below their valuation. I admire what KK and NESV are trying to do.

It's difficult out there with teams like S* teh paying silly money for players. We as fans need to be more patient and get behined the boys that are still there and if we add in January (which I think we will) then we will be better off.

I lost count of how many times I've read in Rafa we trust. Well the King has returned how about we show a little faith in him.

RE: the above.

I will translate the 'street talk' for you all!

In my opinion I do not believe in Mr Comolli's approach to buying players. The owners stated that Mr Kenny Dalglish (shame on you for spelling the king's surname wrong! ) would have money at his disposal. However, It seems Mr Comolli does indeed have the final say on this matter. I personally believe if the owners break this promise, certain individuals will not like them.

Hello all LFC fans,
Well it appears that the numbers are starting to add up finally for our January transfer window.
With Babel now on his way to Hoffenhein and approx £6 million coming our way we will now be in a position to up both bids for Saurez and Adam.
Ajax say we are £8 million apart on what we want to pay and what they will accept but in the real world a meet half way deal is ready to be struck.

{Editor's Note: Actually Ajax saif the clubs were 20M euro apart - about £15M.}

Although the angry little Mr Holloway has said he rates Charlie Adam at £14 MILLION! realistically the board/ owner at Blackpool would be out of their minds to refuse £6 million for a player that cost them £500,000 and only 18 months left on his contract, (big money for a club like Blackpool) once he is in his final year they won't see an offer anywhere near that amount for a player that has already said he wants to leave.
New owners are playing a waiting game and they are correct to do so as all good business is done this way.

LFCRule.

It has been suggested that Ajax are trying to hold Liverpool to Ransom over Suarez because of the crazy (over-inflated) fees paid for Bent by Villa and Djecko by Citeh.

I think Comolli/ KK/ Henry are absolutely right not to pay over the odds for a player and we will not be played for suckers like Citeh (e.g., Barelona now suggesting Citeh pay £25 mil for Alves because they know they are the only club crazy enough to do it)

I think Suarez could be the new Fowler for Liverpool but if Ajax don't budge on the fee we'll look elsewhere and rightly so.

In the same vein, Holloway thinking Adam is worth double figures is crazy talk. .think he's getting carried away by Blackpool's good run like everyone else. 7 mill tops, if not accepted. .Adam's loss.

LFC has always done the business in a dignified way. If you can't afford a player lay off full stop.

"Laughing Shock" wise up dude, there's a lot of EPL clubs would happily swap places with Liverpool. I think our clubs future is one of the most promising in world football. NESV said there was not quick fix. . The future's bright the future's RED

Following my previous comment of not being excited with NESV and Camolli. Ajax and Blackpool had both used a common word (Ajax saying comeback with a respectful bid and Blackpool saying our bid was disrespecful). KK had being saying we want to respect clubs that we deal with inline with the way lpool does it business.
I guess we paid £14 million for Kuyt over 4 ago and paid £11.5m and Man utd paid £16m for Ruud Van Nesteroy over 4 years ago to bid 12.5 for Surez will get any club insulted.
Even the player you are trying to sign will think you don't really value him.Any bid in the region of 18-24 is respectful.
Players under £10m are squad players, £10-15 average players and £15 above then you are making serious statement.
NESV are undecisive, it was the drop in attendance that forced them to fire Roy not the results on the field.
You must spend to save or you fail if you don't spend.

Is anyone worrying about Comolli and what Hollaway said about what went on with comolli and the Chairman of Blackpool.

I am starting to worry that if Comolli is doing the negotiations then it means were not going to get anyone which does worry me alot. We need a decisive man to do the negotiations not a bumbling idiot so that we can get the top players.

On another note i hate to admit it but i agree with the pundits on Charlie Adams about 5/ 6 million think he's a good buy at that price though.think he'll fit in the team too

Suarez he isn't coming would like to see him but don't think it's going to happen in this window maybe the summer still need a defencive mid though anyone else agree

With eidur gudjohnsen publicly stating his desire to play in holland expect a suarez transfer request by the weekend. .i'm as sick of this whole thing as everyone else and am not claiming to be "in the know". .just seems the lkely evolution of the saga.wouldn't be surprised if ajax still refuse to let him go though, depends how hard up for cash they are.they've every right to carry on as they are and i do think we're taking the p* * a bit if the reported offer of 12.5 mil is to be believed, he is after all a 24 year old with a 0.75 goal per game ratio just off the back of a succesful world cup campaign in which he performed very well.in the current market i think he is probably a £20 mill player and we'd expect no less of our club if the likes of real/ barca came looking for torres/ gerrard.

This time last week I was feeling so proud and full of hope for future. I thought yes we got decent owners now doing all business behind the doors and papers not knowing wots going on. But last few days has shown that there wernt the progress that we thought to be going on behind the scenes.I was expecting announcements early this week with all behind in papers first. I thought it was all being done quietly. But this proving that I am very wrong. I can see us losing players like past for sake of few million. Right now let's face reality now. Now if all is being assessed for future. Then I'd be happy to pay 10/ 20 mill over top, because if these owners/ scouts are the right players we need then we will get it back throu success. If these players named are the the answers to our problems. Then get out and get them QUIETLY

Ed(s), Am I right to have concerns with Comoli's negotiating strategy? Listening to the feedback from both Blackpool and Ajax it appears LFC is offering sums so far away from from the selling clubs valuation that there is no common ground for negotiation. I have great respect for the way he goes about the business quietly and not mouthing off through the press (though I hope “strategic leaks” are part of his armoury), but my fear is we will fail to get our targets before Jan 31, and even worse, lose them to other EPL clubs. Do you know what his success rate was at previous clubs? ….love the site, the contributions reflect the emotions and expectations of LFC fans everywhere.

Ed do you think there is any reason now that Blackpool are asking for silly money for Adam. Why sent we going for Ever Banega of Valencia or Steven Defour of Liege?

I think Banega would cost around 8 million as he's not wanted at club. Defour would be trickier but both are younger and better players than Adam.

{Editor's Note: A bid from Espanyol for Banega has already been rejected as the player is not for sale. I also can't see Liverpool bouncing from one player to another simply because they don't like the figures quoted.}

Why are people saying that LFC are being disrespectful offering low prices for players when it is just basic businness. You want something you put in a small bid, the seller asks for more than they would be happy with and eventually you both meet somewhere in the middle. Dont really get what Holloway is moaning about, if he wants to keep Adam then just say no and get on with his job.
Also the people slating Comolli because he is the one negotiating the price, do you really think it his his decision alone on how much we bid. It is a LFC decision, not just one man.

{Editor's Note: Comolli will have likely have been given a "not to exceed" price for the player representing the maximum the club are willing to pay. However, how he goes about the negotiations will be down to him. Clearly there is room for improvement.}

What you say does make sense, lets just hope his plans work out and we get the players we want instead of 2nd choice players for the sake of a few million pounds. Personally i will keep believing in this set up until the summer at least as January is never easy to get who you really want.

Hi

Its Faizal from South Africa.

I would just like to find out what my fellow lfc fans think.

Heres the situation,
We have identified our 2 most wanted players to sign this window.
Charlie Adam and Luis Suarez - Lfc have been quoted in the region of 8-10 mil and 20-25 mil for both players.

We have sold Ryan Babel to Hoffenheim for a fee believed to be in the region of 5-8 mil.

So assuming the info being supplied in the paper everyday! regarding the fees is correct. .

Lfc will have to cough up something in the region of 25mil to fund January transfers. .

But look at the class of the players we would be getting for that amount. Luis and Charlie would surely have a massive influence on the team.
Imagine if we could watch the reds for remaining part of the season play this team.
- - - - - - - - pepe- - - - - - - - -
- johnny- skrtel- agger- aurellio-
- - adam- -gerrard- -meireles- -
- -kuyt- - -torres- - - suarez- - -

yeah - but i guess we can dream. . frustrating. .

Thanks

I think Blackpool and Ajax are right, we need to make "respectable" offers. Its the 25th January, its not the time for silly offers, test the water in the first week of the transfer window and then negotiate, don't do it in the final week of the transfer window. .

Offer £20m for Suarez and £7.5m for Adam, then replace babel with a decent winger who doesn't cut inside all the time!

All that has been said is that they will try there hardest to get us back challanging for all the top honours. They will do this the right way without the massive debt we had before. LFC can go for and put offers in for loads of top players but at the end of the day it is there choice if they come or not. Players will come but it would be foolish to say how long it will take to get us back challanging again. If things go our way it could be as quick as next year but don't blame the owners if it takes a bit longer.

Babels move to Hoofenheim will mean Ajax avoid his salary demand and pave way for LS to complete his move (along with few pounds raised from Jova transfer)

{Editor's Note: I cannot see how Babel moving to Hoffenheim will be of much interest to Ajax at all.

Blackpool want 14 mill for Adams, to much. We have Gerrard to come back and I don't see Adams keeping him or Miereles out. The new Xabi Alonso they say, not convinced myself.
Good deal at 6 mill but 14 is crazy

Who is this Adams guy you are talking about? Is he any good? Or do you mean Charlie Adam? (really grinds my gears when we can't even get the names of the players in the rumours right!) If you mean Charlie Adam, then yes £14m is a touch excessive. 8m tops. He isn't quite in Xabi's league, but lets face it, not many are. He would do a job for us, no doubt. He would provide the creativity that we lack.

As a liverpool fan I am disappointed with the way the John Henry and Comolli has handed the transfers. We will experience a pattern similar to the days of Mr Parry where targets are left for late and while messing about making insulting opening bids others clubs that are more serious makes a respectable bid and takes the players from under our nose.
I was not excited personally when NESV bought the club. Even during the early times of Hick and Gillett they wasted no time to buy Torres.
Camolli and Henry knew from the begining of the transfer window that Suarez was their target and are still messing about.
A bid of 12.7 million is trully insulting, even Aston Villa wasted no time and got Bent.
To be honest I cannot see Henry buying any player for more than 15 million. You cannot get quality striker for this amount.
They don't bhave the money to build a new stadium and I bet they will borrow money to build and we are back to the same issues.
I just don't feel right with NESV.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i agree with u on some issues but john henry has promised money, its comolli whos being cheap and 'disrespectful' to other clubs. we don't know wat NESV r like until we actually buy some1. like u said, they knew suarez was a target and have being messing around, but we can all agree that about 50 strikers have been linked with us this winter, i think now they have finally made a decision to pursue suarez.

I think that business will be done in this window, but it is going to be totally unpredictable. Kenny said Babel is staying, now he is on his way to Hoffenheim. If Jovanovic could be moved on and at the £6m price stated, it would be in all our interests to do so - although he has worked hard, he just hasn't fitted in. The £12m made from these deals would certainly help increase our bids for Suarez and Adam. I certainly think another attacker will arrive this window

{Editor's Note: If Jovanovic does leave at least part of the fee will need to be passed on to the player as compensation for his signing on fee that was to be spread over the length of his contract. The same is true with Joe Cole.}

Looking from the outside, it seems to me that Dalglish and commoli are opposites.
Dalglish commands and gets total respect from anyone that engages with him, including other clubs, managers, agents etc. Commoli is the opposite and is looked upon with disrespect is not trusted (similar accusations were levelled at him at Spurs)

How can these two continue to work as one for the club? Anyone care to comment. .

RED FIRST & LAST

Seems there could be some truth in that mate.
If and I will repeat if. . all these reports and interviews that claim to have been done are true, he is being a bit loose lipped about targets.
and if the stories are made up, someone clearly does dislikes him

{Editor's Note: There have been three interviews with Canal+ that I know of. It seems he is trying to answer questions as well as he can given the difficult circumstances, but he does need to avoid being duped (as he was) on commenting on other team's players. He will no doubt be aware of this.}

Comoli makes everyone happy by telling them that he wants to bring in good players but the he make stupid bids whats the point.

{Editor's Note: You are right that Comolli needs to get his act together over these bids and negotiations. Nobody wants to see the club ripped off by paying over the odds, but equally we don't want to see the club fall in to the position of not being considered a serious bidder. If Comolli is not up to this he needs some good commercial negotiation support bought in to help him. I doubt that this has escaped the attention of the Board.}

Look mate he had the choice to come back and he went to the geordies because he thought Madrid would just keep him if he did not join Newcastle, he was only worried about his England place in the world cup, he was asked by Liverpool to hang fire but he bottled it.

Is it just me thinking tha the money from the babel deal dnt know how much (thinking b out 5 mil) will go towards the suarez deal and if we sell jova we will also get about the same amount 5-6mil and SOME! of that cash would go on the adam deal coz no way on earth or any other planet is adam worth 10 mil

Sky Sports have reported,

Ajax unhappy with Reds
Ajax are considering reporting Liverpool to Fifa over their pursuit of Luis Suarez, according to Dutch reports.

Ed, can you confirm

{Editor's Note: This relates to a meeting between club representatives and the agent of Suarez. There is nothing to stop them meeting, but because the meeting took place in Amsterdam the argument is that it must have been about Suarez and Ajax should have been informed. Strickly speaking they are right if that is true. It would have been a dumb thing for Comolli to have done if true, but it is not a big deal.}

Wolfsburg are believed to have put forward an offer of £6 million to acquire the services of Milan Jovanovic from Liverpool.

Source - goal.com

£6million is a good offer, he seems like a nice guy and would probably suit him and Liverpool.

If this is true I doubt if we will see any of the money.
We will have to give it to Jovanovic to persuade him to leave behind his lucrative Bosman contract.
I can't think of any examples of players who have done a Bosman deal and then moved on for a large sum of money a few months later.
At least it would get him off our wage bill and combined with the Babel deal will save us about £6 mill a year.

Ed reports today we have offered 4mil for Adams and unlikely to go above 5mil for him this I can understand olly says he will only sell to a big club this being so they can over inflate their asking price as for Suarez 12.7 is what we have apparantly offered which I don't understand the bloke is class scored loads of goals in the last 3 seasons why don't we offer a sensible amount if the unthinkable was to happen and torres gets injured we would be in big trouble especially with it looking like jovanovic and babel leaving

I think both liverpool and ajax are holding up this deal for suarez, not just the one club. liverpool have only offered a small amount. the bid should be higher, and ajax are asking for a little too much. our offer is said to be 12.7 while ajax are asking for 25. i think we could meet somewhere in between that 12-25 million. id say 18-20 million would do it for us. what do u think ed? ?

{Editor's Note: Ajax were looking for 35M euro and Liverpool offered 15M euro. Whilst I am sure Ajax would settle for 30M euro or perhaps a little less, this is still far from what Comolli has offered.}

"Guillaume Hoara will be coming in-5m"

Those who don't learn from history are bound to repeat their mistakes.
After years and years of substandard and mediocre purchases, (Voronin, Gonzalez, Jovanovic, Babel, Dossena, Morientes etc) one would duly expect that lessons have been learnt.But no, not LFC.

It's because of such players as Hoarao, Suaraz, Marveaux, Srna etc that we where we are right now.Instead of using our dough to bring in 1 or 2 world class players, we keep buying more and more s* tload of squad players.

When are the bloody hell are we going to learn, huh?
FHS!We needed class players like Hulk, Llorente, Wiel etc, not some bloody French nonentity Harao whose name he himself cannot pronounce.
Point made.
The cherry on top are some of the editors here who are saying these will be "good players for us" and dismiss Podolski and Young.Well, good players for you, on football manager.

I think we are only interested in Adam. But are always looking to come up with some foolish kinds of offers. Like 12.7m for Suarez. C'mon every body knows its far below his standards. A deal around 18m would have been good. And same for Adam. Only 4 m. Please, sign some one this window. One win doesn't mean, we are back towards success ways. . ED, do you think, there's gonna be some serious offer at all this month. On which, we are going to get a decent player??

Sorry to add to the Suarez related posts but . . .

Personally I think we are working on the deal still, i just think Ajax couldnt afford Babel's wages and would prefer a straight cash deal, bearing in mind i've read that Suarez only earns £30,000 compared to Babel's higher wages.

I don't believe the smokescreen idea either for the simple fact that when it comes to signing ANY players in the future any selling club may consider Liverpool to be simply stringing them along, its not good business.

Hey fellow reds and Ed. .

I have two sets of consistent and persuasive sources assuring me that either one of the following will happen.

Oh by the by. . Babel leaving is a BIG step backwards for Liverpool and the owners are not showing any inclination of wanting to spend money for an unconfirmed manager and in the inflated January window, meanwhile they do want to reduce the Wage bill.

Source 1; Liverpool not signing anyone but reducing the wage bill. The owners are reluctant to spend money as Spurs and man c seem to be eying all those players linked with us and driving up prices. Apparently the board want to blood the youngsters this season and have set a target to 'avoid relegation' (yes it has come down to that apparently), spending on maybe two or three in the summer. that is it.
[btw i think Keane will be a disaster with this new-look spurs squad]

Source 2; insists that the reds are looking at two to three signings [the delay was due to management waiting on injuries and the status at the end of Jan] and then two more in the summer. . very few names linked but scouts are watching
1. Adam,
2. in addition to whom we were looking at SWP (dropped our interest thank GOD), as we know.
3. we tried to sign Johnson too but were refused.
4. The Honda, Turan, Warnoc rumors are unfounded, they have not been scouted for a while and this interest is now stale and Suarez is a smoke screen for some other Dutch players but we may not meet valuations.
5. Two names i have heard are Aguero (in the summer if we at least have euro football, otherwise someone else) and Mata plus an English Mid and a defender
6. the crouch return rumor is hogwash
7. We want to sign Hazard and another player from Germany in the summer but not going to happen unless we offer amazing wages.

The problem lies in the style of management. The board and manager do not want to reveal future plans even to the players (with the exception of Torres, Gerrard and Reina) and no players want to come unless the owners assure them that an exciting project is underway. The consensus is that Liverpool have had a poor squad for years now (since 2008 we have been in declined) and many players need to be bought (7-8) over the course of two seasons, to bring Liverpool back (just what city did)

All i can say is i hope the Americans are not afraid to back their investment, because at the moment, they seem neither brave nor smart (selling players we may need, and not buying anyone to jump straight in and help battle relegation)

Vital Rumor

The problems are Manager uncertainty at the end of the season and lack of competitiveness in the transfer market, along with lack of euro football and lower wages on offer

Commolli's comments about the club 'still being attractive' are just to hype up his own pitch and to create a buzz. . The thing is, Top players do not want to join Liverpool now OR in the summer as we have not much to play for this or the next year with no champions league., . we can only attract squad players and has-beens.

the owners need to really splash the cash like Man City now to attract players but that, as we know, will never happen. . we are plagued by cheap owners it seems.

I hope both these sources are wrong, and all this has caused me anxiety before, but i have no reason to disbelieve eithetr, i hope we can at least get Mata

{Editor's Note: I can assure you that your sources are wrong.}

The Suarez Deal is not dead. Ajax just want to get more $$$. Suarez has not put int a transfer request, but is very keen on a move to Merseyside. Liverpool are also after 3 more players this Window.

I have been told that the current list for players to be scouted some more with Liverpool interested in Buying this Summer is 53. So their can be 53 names you can come up with, but all will be looked at.

IN:
Suarez - 22-30 Mil
Ashley Young
Warnock
Scott Parker.

My feedback on the liverpool football club right now is we have at last done something for reasons other than logical statisticle digital modern management borrox. We hired a man who is liverpool to the core, I have supported the team since i was 4-5 and i knew that kenny had been a celitc player, but i didn't know that at the same time because like all legends we feel we own him and therefore there is only us and the legend. Kenny is a risk no doubt as yes he has been away from management for a while but i say this to any one who doubts his skills and chances to be a succes once again, You or I wouldn't in a million years lay our legendary reputation on the line unless we where 100% commited to the cause and 100% convinced we can win. The outcome will be whatever it is meant to be but the fact remains nobody alive would take a second shot at the title if they where not dame sure we had good, real good odds of being a winner. Its hard enough to get the status once of legend but what that man has and lived through as player and manager of a club like liverpool is second to none remember he watched fans die and things happen that today would never be allowed but to go on, so for Kenny to risk the memory and his place in the clubs history is massive and for that i trust and respect him, further more it is all the god dame proof i need to tell me he knows what he is doing and we are going to be ok.

I'll say this & say no more on the Suarez thing.
He's a good player, not great but with potential to be great.
We wanted £30m or so for Masch in the summer but Barca were in a similar situation to us now & offered much much lower £12m if i remember correctly, again much like our reported offer.
They got in the players head & it looked like deadlock but we backed down & accepted around £18m which i feel will happen with Suarez now too.
Barca were in a stronger position than us i give you but if Suarez wants to come to us & Kenny wants him then we will get him for around the £18 - 20m mark.
Why should we back down & Ajax not?
Nobody wants a player who doesn't want to be there.
Same with Adam.
We'll get him too for £6 - 7m.
Would rather get Arda Turan & Suarez but think KK will get Suarez & Adam instead.
If Kenny doesn't get Arda between now & the summer then i feel we'll never see him at Anfield in the red shirt of Liverpool.
Come on KK push for a striker & winger at the very least. We need these far more than Adam!
I'll be as frustrated as ever if we get only Adam in this window.
May as well play a 6 or 7 man midfield at that rate like. We'd have no strikers / wingers anyway.

Surely within the next few days we can snap up a Suarez/ Adam. Both of them will be great assets for us, and the future. If we don't sign a winger though, will be interesting to see what we do with four very good box to box midfielders, it could be ;

Reina
Kelly Skrtel Agger Johnson
Lucas Adam
Gerrard Raul Suarez
Torres

I don't see Suarez coming now, too many games. Could be that we're doing it to try and get him on the cheap but i still doubt it'll work. Judging by the way the Babel thing has come somewhat out of nowhere i'd guess that our "big buy" (if we make one) will come equally out of the blue. Babel and Jovanovic going for £6 mill a piece would be excellent business on the part of Liverpool. Although the way things are looking at the moment it buys us nothing in this market. .

Still £6mill profit on Jovanovic is great and i'm going to spend the next few nights dreaming that we're getting Hazard and Turan and forgetting the idea of a striker when i don't think our formation (or bank balance) suits it at the moment.

GK Reina
CB Carra/ Skrtel
CB Agger/ The Greek
RB Kelly/ Johnson
LB Johnson/ Aurelio
DM Gerrard/ Shelvey/ Suso
DM Lucas/ Poulson
RW Turan/ Kuyt
LW Hazard/ Maxi
AM Meireles/ Cole/ Pacheco
ST Torres/ N'gog

IMHO our weakness isn't a striker, it's the service to him. Even so i think a LB and another Alonso are the priorities, that and for our defence to stop shipping goals.

If he has stated his love for Liverpool regardless of how long ago it was, we need to move for him in the summer or next year.
Think we'll go for him once Fernando leaves to be honest so long as he hasn't moved to Barca or someone like that first, is successful & is beyond our price range.
Seriously doubt if we have been offered £6m for Jovanovic though too.
If only! Ha!

Ed is the deal for Suarez off. Iv a little feeling that urchins well be. I just hope to god this isn't a de ja vu over the garrett Barry case owners list out for the sake of couple million, and take the risk losing out again in summer just as we did with Barry. Lease nesv don't make same mistakes in the business as the fools made, just to prove points, if it's got to be paid to get deal done, as long as we don't start paying way over like city chelski have done then for the sake of a few mill will make masses of diff to rest of our season.

{Editor's Note: The deal is certainly not on at present. Ajax were looking for 35M euro and Liverpool offered 15M euro. Whilst I am sure Ajax would settle for 30M euro or perhaps a little less, this is still far from what Comolli has offered.}

I would like to think that the money from the Babel transfer will be added onto the Suarez deal, I am sorry but Charlie Adam is not the player we need.

He isn't bad but people are giving off at Ajax when we put less than their valuation of Suarez on the table. Blackpool don't want to sell him and if they do they will force the hand of any club wanting to buy him.

Imagine we had to sell Torres for £35million and Man City offered £20million, that is the way Ajax see it, they want all the money they can get for their prized assent, I don't blame them. Hopefully we can offer close to the £25 million they claim to want, 13odd that we apparently offered plus the 7 from Babel and Jovanovic might just do it.

Atletico Madrid have officially announced that striker Sergio Aguero has agreed a contract extension with the club until 2014.

The Argentine attacker had been in discussions with the club since the beginning of the season, and while a verbal agreement between the parties was reached prior to the winter break, the renewal has now been confirmed.

Aguero has always maintained his desire to remain at the Vicente Calderon for the foreseeable future, and with his previous deal due to expire in 2012, he has agreed to a two-year extension.

Notably, however, reports from Marca suggest that the buy-out clause in the contract has been reduced from €60 million to €45m, perhaps making the 22-year-old a more accessible transfer target for Europe's big clubs.

so that's gone down from 50m to 38m so nesv email athletico say we offer 38m and we have him.that is all.DORSET RED

Alright, a conlusion about Ryan Babel. The trip the Liverpool negotiators made was to offer a deal of cash (15mil euro, which is being reported) + babel (not reported), the reason, I believe, it took a while to set up was trying to see how low they could reduce Babels wages in an attempt to persuade Ajax. Ajax representatives than declined the cash (15mil euro) + Babel offer, not being able to afford his high wages. Therefore, Babel was sold off to Hoffenheim to offer a pure cash deal before the transfer window shuts.

Just my conclusion but it seems plausible and I'm just adding to the hype here but with Ajax being in financial difficulties and Liverpool trying to offload high wage dead-wood, it would of been a case of killing two birds with one stone.

Expect a pure cash offer from Liverpool for Suarez in the next few days in the vicinity of 20mil pounds.

RMD
Y.N.W.A

{Editor's Note: Babel was not part of any offer.}

Babel was not reported as being part of the offer. You yourself are adamant about the press telling half or even quarter truths and if Liverpool wanted the negotiation process to remain speculative to the press, which KK seems to be bringing back thankfully, than he may have wanted the addition of Babel to remain confidential.

This is from 5 years ago i know it is old.Independiente's Argentine teenage sensation Sergio Aguero says he would prefer to join his boyhood club and Champions League holders Liverpool rather than German champions Bayern Munich.

Last week Bayern confirmed their interest in the 17-year-old Aguero, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or a striker, but the Argentine talent is holding out for a move to English side Liverpool.

"If I had to choose a league then it would be the Premier League, " Aguero is quoted as saying in the Munich TZ newspaper.

"I have been a Liverpool fan for as long as I can remember and it would be a dream to play there.

"I watched the Champions League final and celebrated every goal as if it was for Independiente."

now don't get me wrong he would cost alot but yet again hes a world class player and a lfc fan.why o why are we not bidding for him instead of suarez.who would you want aguero or suarez.so we have got aguero whos 23 this year and arda turan both liverpool fans and want too play for us.this is who we want not charlie adam or suarez.imagine the faces on chelski city and scum supporters if we pulled off them two signings.

Charlie Adams price is being quoted between 14-16 mill. If this is the case would any one here want him still? Or maybe just maybe the money would be better invested in a quality striker and a winger. Positions we actually need to strengthen more than any other.

No matter how good people think Adam is, we don't need him we need attacking players, especially with Babel going.

Could Not Agree More Mr. Mayne!
It's crazy!
We need goals & width.
Anyone with a football brain can see it.
So i'm going to be very surprised if the greatest football brain of all doesn't see this too (Not talking about Comolli as you can probably guess ha!) & doesn't do something about it!
Come on KK please!

If you're the same Ed that has said Gervinho was a target, for the past few months then you were spot on mate. Commolli has confirmed it tonight along with Hazard.

Blair Mayne YNWA


Blair,

Where can i find Commolli's reference to interest in Gervinho & Hazard.
Think Hazard would be a massive signal of intent if we got him.
I would run naked through the streets of my town with happiness if it happened.
Ed, i'm going to ignore my concerns with your response to Blairs offer to look after you - slightly disturbing lol.
This is Football rumours i'm on yeah? Lol!
Kev.

{Editor's Note: Please don't get carried away over Hazard - he will not be coming to Liverpool.}


Can you elaborate a little ed?
I know Arsenal have been on his tail for a while but if they get the boy from Southampton as seems likely now & already have Walcott - i can't see him going there.
Manure maybe?
Any others declared an interest in him that you know of ed / anyone?
I promise i'll not run naked through the streets whatever happens, wouldn't wanna put you guys to shame ha ha!
So any reason(s) for your confident statement above ed in regards to Hazard not going to Anfield?
Cheers,
Kev.

Liverpool Rumours
Alright, a conlusion about Ryan Babel. The trip the Liverpool negotiators made was to offer a deal of cash (15mil euro, which is being reported) + babel (not reported), the reason, I believe, it took a while to set up was trying to see how low they could reduce Babels wages in an attempt to persuade Ajax. Ajax representatives than declined the cash (15mil euro) + Babel offer, not being able to afford his high wages. Therefore, Babel was sold off to Hoffenheim to offer a pure cash deal before the transfer window shuts.

Just my conclusion but it seems plausible and I'm just adding to the hype here but with Ajax being in financial difficulties and Liverpool trying to offload high wage dead-wood, it would of been a case of killing two birds with one stone.

Expect a pure cash offer from Liverpool for Suarez in the next few days in the vicinity of 20mil pounds.

ED, with the millions we have got from the sale of babel, do you think that will go towards the offer we have put in to buy suarez or would it go towards the offer we have put in for adams.

{Editor's Note: It does not really work that way. Liverpool would have factored all of this in. Comolli has seemingly be charged with negotiations ("incoherent" or similar Blackpool called them) and no doubt a figure has been decided as to what the club may be willing to pay.}

Attention all Liverpool supporters. We do not need to sell to buy anymore. We have new owners who are prepared to invest. The Babel sale makes absolutely no difference in how much we are prepared to spend on certain players. So please stop saying the money from the Babel sale will enable us to buy Suarez etc. It makes 0 difference in what we are prepared to pay for him.

I know you're sick of these Suarez rumours Ed. But do think like i do, that after what Ajax said about our disrespectful offer and to come back with a better one, that we are the only club interested?

And why would Commolli have to fly to Ajax, especially if Ajax knew our offer was to low?

Blair Mayne YNWA

{Editor's Note: The offer was 15M euro against a request for 35M euro. They have a debt circa 30M euro and I think that is what they would settle for. They may well go lower if a player was offered on loan - and that of course benefits the player as well. I don not think that any body else is bidding - but no doubt several are watchinh and waiting to see what is next. There was a meeting with Ajax at Schipol this morning - before he headed to Paris. Amsterdam is only a short flight away - big silver bird in sky.}

{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.}

I see what you mean in terms of squad morale - strikers not getting their game etc.
But i feel that could be solved by playing all 3 strikers in a game (2 starting with one coming on after 60 - 70 mins then rotate the following week if someone stands out as having particularly well / bad both in the match & training).
If there was a 4th striker in the first team squad - could he not be a young striker with potential like Pacheco who could also be on the bench as an unused sub unless chasing the game / injury occours / winning comfortably. This young player could (if playing well in training) start a game too as part of a 4 - 3 - 3 lineup if playing at home against a so called weaker team like Fulham this week for example. Or in cup matches etc. If he plays well then it's a bonus & should be kept in like Kelly at the moment. We seem to always have 4 - 5 centre backs or 5 - 8 centre midfielders yet those positions only require 2 players on match day too. It's such a negative attitude to have with only one proven goalscorer in our squad. If he gets injured soon which could easily happen we could be dragged into relegation trouble all over again. If Torres is to get injured - I hope it's on Wed night so Kenny's hand is forced a little to move before it's too late & the window shuts.
Again - sorry for the long essay, must be driving ya mad, need to make these posts much shorter me thinks.
Kev.

Why does everyone assume that now Babel is going to hoffenhiem that suarez is coming? Surely it means the opposite, Babel has been holding on hoping to be part of a swap deal to Ajax and surely wouldn't go to hoffenhiem while there was still a chance he go go back to Holland.
Unless Ajax simply just didn't want him and have now told him so! !

{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.}
- - - - -
It is logical to assume that Comolli has been told by the owners what his job responsibilities are when they hired him.
He can not have full control over the transfers and neither can
Kenny. It a team work, remember?

One striker come winger out, one striker in the Suarez deal is very much the one that Ken and Damien want to pull off. To prove to the supporters they are listening. One of NESV's claims was they would listen to the fans. Now obviously we as fans are not qualified as managers or scouts but every one and there mother know's that Suarez is a lethal finisher any where from about 35yrds near the goal.
So let's all hope its done in time for Chelski and he can take a chunk out of that diving plock Drogba


Southern Scouse. . . . .


Dont forget about his class as a goalkeeper too, A bargain at any price! lol

{ed's note - nothing official, he could just mean that Adam has been dropped from the squad for handing in a transfer request.}

Holloway said himself that he is definately playing
Adam tomorrow because he said Adam would literally kill him of he didn't let him play against united. Ed I agree with you on the not getting Suarez topic. But I was just wondering is it a smoke screen for another striker as we defo need one now babels gone. Keep up the good work

{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.

{Editor's Note: It would be inappropriate for me to say too much in an open forum but a taster of the St Et situation may be found a few posts below.}

I can't find the post now, though I did read earlier something along the lines that they couldn't wait to see the back of him. Your caution over this matter cetainly gives me some concern. Can I just ask then is there particular information which you are reluctant to share on the forum, and if so, how concerned are you about what you know, and could there be a risk to the club? Ta.

{Editor's Note: Of course it is me Blair - how could you ever think it was anyone else. I think that Liverpool would have moved for him in this window if he had been available. I figured Lille would be willing to trade the player and bring someone in now rather than lose both Gervinho and Hazard in the summer, and need a major rebuilding job. Now it looks like he will be the summer target.}

So what do you say Ed, with the cash that has been paid for Dzeko and Bent is £25 million no about right?
