Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

25 Jun 2011 23:54:23
Saw on notw website about kk making a bid for Aaron Lennon. Am I right in saying he made some negative comments about the club or city in the past when rumours o a possible transfer where going the rounds? Don't really rate the guy either he is rapid but no final ball not what we need when we have a £35m striker who thrives on decent deliveries

I have mates who are season ticket holders at Villa Park and they say Downing was by far their best player last year. We should give the boy a chance, he has decent pace, can cross a ball for Carroll and is a hard worker. He had a better season than Ashley Young and will track back a lot more.

Jatt Red.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:46:57
Malaga sign Valencia winger Jaquin Sanchez. Maybe this puts Mata's move in doubt or make it harder to sign him as Valencia wouldn't want to lose both their first team wingers.


Is Pablo Hernandez not a first choice winger for the last 2 years? Or do they play with 3 of them?

to who wrote this i live by the rocket and it is utter rubish and why would all different media companies all decide to congregate at the rocket when melwood or anfield would be more likley and if it was true why did they all get the same idea at the same time sorry mate but your post is rubish posted by :fedupwithallthecrapgiveusthetruth!

Hey ed, can you please reply to this and confirm to my friend that caughtoffside is total bull. thanks :)

Hi Ed! On a scale of 1 to 10 rate Adam's 1st touch, distribution, vision, creativity, scoring ability, free kicks, versatility in different positions & ability to defend (screen the back 4). Does he use both feet? {Ed009's Note - I don't think its viable to put ratings on something like that, but he is technically a very good player. He has fantastic distribution, good goalscoring ability from range and even better set pieces. His only negative aspects are his tendency to go for the Hollywood pass and his lack of fitness - these are both attributes which would be ironed out by quality coaching though. I feel he will be a good signing (if he is bought) and as he has agreed to just 30,000 pounds a week, one on half of Meireles' wages too.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:38:17
{Ed009's Note - 3, 4, 3, 9. I think we will sign Adam, Downing (both of whom I've always maintained we will) as well as perhaps Mata, Wickham. I also expect a left back and a centre back. Where in the past people argued the left back would be Enrique and then Clichy I personally think that our left back will come from abroad.}
=========================

I think Adam and Downing as good as done and will be official come Monday Tuesday ..
Mata is an interesting one, up to a couple of weeks ago I was confident he will be joining us, however something have happened and all the vibes are now suggesting he will not come to England.
As for center back and left back, I dont think we will be buying both unless we can sell a lot of our peripheral players ... I wont be surprised of Johnson played as left back next season.

The old Roy {Ed009's Note - interesting point on Mata and not something I've heard but I'll keep my ears open etc. I would suggest that a left back will be more likely than a centre back, but perhaps the dearth in available quality there means we will buy another centre back.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:29:34
I have to agree with one of the other posters who said Reina wouldnt have agreed to stay unless he knew something substantial was happening and i doubt that means Adam and Downing et al. I reckon Mata is nailed on and there's a good chance of some other big name game changing player.Squad depth is well and good but right now we've just swopped one match winner in Torres for Suarez.It could be Aguero who knows.My only suggestion for the site would be not to post people who ask questions like 'Is adam linked with the club'. Read the rest of the page you lazy t**ts.1st post.like the site

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:29:22
hi eds, just been on wik.... and it stated that charlie adam's club was liverpool, then 5 mins later his club had gone back to blackpool, should we read something into that for the nxt 48hrs? (please post)

hawkoreds {Ed009's Note - don't read anything into Wikipedia when it comes to football.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:25:49
Blair Mayne ,
{Ed002's Note - I don't think that I can confirm Adam having signed at the moment.}

I think its as good as done (unfortunately) and will be official by tomorrow or Monday , expect Drowning to be announced soon after.

The old Roy

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:23:12
Adam has not signed as Liverpool will not pay asking price.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:19:59
scott Dann to Liverpool dont make me laugh

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:18:54
Ed is it true liverpool wont budge on 6m for adam if so i find it stupid we pay 2O m for henderson and we cant even put a straight offer in like 13m {Ed009's Note - I don't think that is true, no.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:17:45
I don't know why people still insist on Cavani is coming to us rumours. He completed the deal from Palermo to Napoli last week. He is not coming, get it in your melon! End of.

On another note ed's is there any known interest for any of our 'deadwood' players such as jova, degen, aqua, cole, jones, el zhar, poulsen, konchesky, insua........etc?

Ozred {Ed009's Note - there may well be interest in Cole, but apart from that i don't think any of the others are in hot demand.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:15:59
According to Wikipedia Charlie Adam currently plays for Liverpool. I read continuously that it is easy to change information on Wikipedia but having looked I see that it can only be changed by Registered Users. Is there no-one who can 'name and shame' these users who post false information? It is getting more tedious every day!!
Mal 86

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:13:01
Heard Adam has signed 4year 60k/Wk contract for LFC.
Who can confirm this? Cant wait to see if it's true or not.

Anfield Faithful. {Ed009's Note - its impossible to confirm it right now, but I think we can rest easy in the knowledge that the player will be signing, be it tomorrow, Monday, or whenever in the window.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:12:30
I love all this "so and so isn't good enough for Liverpool stuff". Not every player we sign is being signed to be a super star. Adam and Downing are not being signed with the thought process being they are world class players who by themselves will change our fortunes. They are being signed because Kenny feels they can fill a specific role and do a specific job.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:09:27
why is mata always rated 4 ed i say 7 at least

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 23:04:08
did anone see thiago goal absolute class!

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:56:34
Sorry guys a bit more info. Adam has signed on a 4 year deal and will be on £60,000 per week. Not sure on the fee yet but Im sure that will be announced soon. I expect it to be around the £10m mark

can anyone tell me why we need 8 centre midfielders

this is no lie whatever anyone thinks, i know it sounds like a story.

my mate is at his footy presentation tonight and gary taylor fletcher is there, so he asked him a few questions then said about charlie adam, and he said that adam will definitely join us and it should be done my monday. and taylor fletcher said that he wants to come back to the prem
---------
Well he best not be joining is too or I will start to question kks judgement

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:52:22
Hi Ed just wanted your opinion on if you think Torres will get grief off the home fans when he plays his first game at anfield since betraying us? I personally think he's going to get some right abuse. {Ed009's Note - he probably will, but I hope not as whats done is done, and it is his mistake and his loss.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:52:18
100% Charlie Adam is now an LFC player. Its not confirmed yet but trust me he is. I will leave a name so you know Im not yanking your legs.

26CarrotRed

Thanks guys and happy days ahead

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:51:42
Adam on a 4 yr deal on £55K p/w...apparently.

LFC Pedro

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:42:26
question for any ed i was wondering with everyone linking reports from different websites and newspapers which ones are the most reliable and those that are the least reliable. {Ed009's Note - personally I find that both the Guardian and the Echo are the most reliable papers to look for news rumours, and local papers in general are usually up there. But if you want real truth just come to us ;).}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:41:22
You know with all of this press speculation, is it that because they have no idea of who our targets are that they make it up as per usual and as they need something for people to shout about
Mata will not sign unfortunately not unless city get Sanchez or hulk or barca get Sanchez . His preferred destination may. Be Liverpool but he is owned by Valencia who need the money so will go to the highs t bidder which I doubt will be us in this case.................

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:35:16
I wouldnt beleive anything the NOTW write, they are about as reliable as a British summer. Lennon can get stuffed and stay at spuds he's s**te and worse than young

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:28:12
To the guy who posted about kenny being interested in classico agguirre, kenny does'nt reveal anything, all Liverpool supporters know that mate

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:27:13
Ed in your honest opinion do u think we will sign Mata yes or no cheers

Mickleburg {Ed009's Note - if I had to say one way or another then it would be a no, because with the number of teams in for him, their collective chances are more than ours. We have as good a chance as any though I believe.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:24:17
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Chris Mavinga get young player of the year in the Belgian league this year? Could we have had our left back all along? Still would love to see Clichy sign though and would prefer Izaguirre over Enrique.
The Pacher

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:23:16
Lennon to lfc
Kenny please....................we don't need more useless pricks at the club

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:15:43
how do you expect to world class players when you aren't in the champions league next season!? crazy.

Just read that Aguero has agreed personal terms with Juventus. Is this true? If so it will final put to bed all the rumours.

seen flops come and go at liverpool for last 10 years! downing will be one of them.

_________________________________________-

I Disagree, i think he'll be a solid (not spectacular) player for us and as long as he provides 10 + assists a season then it will be money well spent.

25 Jun 2011 22:08:24
Can someone please explain to me, just why we want or need Charlie Adam, because as much as I think i cant think of why kenny wants him at Liverpool
IMO he is not good enough and never will be he has a left leg as most do. Let him go to villa or the mancs but I don't want him at liverpool

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:07:39
Can any one shed some light on who this +35 million player is? YNWA

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:07:34
Does anyone have a full list of our pre season games and dates?

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 22:01:46
Downing to Liverpool will not be such a bad thing - not every signing has to be a 'star'. Some may remember Jason Wilcox whom KK played on the left wing at Blackburn. Similar type of player, crucially he brought balance to the team and created bags of chances for Shearer / Sutton. I expect KK is thinking the same with Downing.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 21:56:28
Spain win u21
Juan mata quite possibly the player of the tournament, his value has got to have increased. However it has also shown that he is infact a top quality player (to those that doubt his abilities) further more I think more clubs will throw their hat in the ring and try their luck.
Eds do you think this tournament will have a massive affect on his possible destination.
Thanks

LFC 2929 {Ed009's Note - we already knew that both us and City held a very real interest in the player. In light of his tournament performance we could well see Barcelona throw a bid into the equation. Even if they did bid though I don't think it is a forgone conclusion that he would make the move there, as his father (and agent) already confirmed his preferred destination for the player is Liverpool. We would also be helped somewhat by first team guarantees and the players lack of desperation for immediate Champions League football.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 21:54:12
If meirelles goes we should get JAVI MARTINEZ in that guy was awesome.

TEAM LAMELA.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 21:49:56
Nothing to do with football, but has anyone noticed (like i have) how good Caroline Wozniacki's (Tennis player and massive LFC fan) press conferences are? She dosn't half know her sh*t about her club (LFC). Everytime she does a press conference all she seems to talk about is her beloved Liverpool.

If Roy Hodgson's press conferences were as passionate and good to listen to as her's. Then he could have endeared himself to us LFC fans more.

Blair Mayne YNWA

Ps. This lady fairly knows her sh*t and i'm not talking about our lovable Ed002.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 21:49:46
love 2 see johnson at the club...do u think we got a good chance of getting him ed {Ed009's Note - I think there was a chance we could sign the player if we offered a large amount, but considering Downing's likely transfer to the club, the chances have significantly diminished.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 21:30:50
ed whens pre season??

If KK is watching U21 final he must be impressed with Javi Martinez. If Mereiles is going and they are serious bout youth he is a must ( if he would come/club sell him).

Ryan Babel is returning!!! 100%

EXCLUSIVE
By Naim Beneddra

The agent for Toulouse midfielder Moussa Sissoko has revealed that his client is in negotiations with several top European clubs, including Inter, Lyon, Liverpool and Newcastle.

Sissoko is widely regarded as one of the most promising players in French football, and the 21-year old may be set for a high profile move away from Le Tefece after his agent confirmed to Goal.com that he expected a major development in transfer talks during Toulouse's training camp in Luchon next week.

"The link with Lyon is serious, but it is not the only one, " said his agent. "There are also negotiations with Liverpool, Newcastle and Inter. Things should seriously move next week."

However, opposition may come in the form of Toulouse president Olivier Sadran, who will reportedly not accept a bid of anything less than 15 million for his prized asset. And with two years left on his contract, Sissoko's agent has refused to rule out the possibility of his client remaining with Toulouse if a transfer deal cannot be struck.

"His priority is a club with a major sporting project. But it will not pose a problem to Moussa [to remain with Toulouse]."

Sissoko, who is of Malian descent, has represented the French national team at all international level, and currently has three caps for the senior side.

I only want Gago to sign if he cuts his hair...bloody mop it is...

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 21:08:38
Liverpool will sign Juan Mata on the 3rd july and edinson cavani, i've got sufficient info to support this.

Well were is it then?

He can't say dipsh*t! {Ed009's Note - regardless of whether this information is true - and I am almost certain Cavani will not sign - nobody should ever be asked to verify there sources, otherwise they might never get information again.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:56:11
eds i dont have a rumour, i just wanna ask how reliable are news from nesn? i suspect they should be fairly reliable since they are under the same ownership as lfc
thanks {Ed009's Note - they are not directly linked to the club, and so aren't wholly reliable. At the same time they do seem to post sense a lot of the time.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:55:27
25 Jun 2011 17:55:38
I personally think we should buy diego, he's got great technique, free kicks and great at linkin up the play. What do you think and do you think we could get him? Thanks {Ed002's Note - He is available for £10M euro. Make a bid.}

good cheap replacement for Meireles with adam aqua replacement. would be saving money. {Ed009's Note - personally if he can come for that price, and with Kenny's strict tutoring, I feel he would be a good, cheap signing too.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:47:51
not so much a rumour but a question. if lfc representatives are attending the match tonight, what are the odds that they may just have an eye on Xherdan Shaqiri as spain seem to be cautous over him
red11 {Ed009's Note - I'd imagine if they are there (which they probably are) then they will be casting an eye on every player who is potentially available. Personally I don't think Shaqiri is good enough, he has moments of magic but doesn't use his ability nearly enough and is far too selfish - but thats nothing more than my opinion of course.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:44:22
25 Jun 2011 18:37:13
I think Downing played at left back at some point in his career. Correct me if I'm wrong, Ed. Maybe his versatility is what KK sees in him. It may be that we will sign Mata as well {Ed009's Note - I very much doubt Downing will be bought to fill in on the left side, as we'd still need a first choice left back, and with Robinson and Aurelio we are sorted for cover. I completely agree with your point on Mata though as depth is what we need - United played with two right sided wingers in Nani and Valencia for most of the season, I don't see why we couldn't do the same with two fit lefties.}
up plus mata played alot of games for valencia on the right

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:44:01
25 Jun 2011 19:45:45
Am i right to think that Mata can choose to go to Liverpool as long as we match his £22million release clause ? Even if Man City bid more than that ? {Ed009's Note - I am not sure how the release clause applies to clubs outside of Spain, or whether it does at all.}


"31 Jan 2011 01:25:29
Liverpool Rumours
The most concerning thing about players like Llorente with supposed buy-out clauses is the fact a buy-out clause doesn't mean exactly what you would think in Spain. They are there to prevent unwanted transfers not set prices and facilitate player movement.

Its quite complicated, but the short version is that when a club owning the player in question receives an unwanted bid that matches a contractual buy-out clause they have two options:

They can accept and exercise the right to force the buying club to pay VAT/ taxes/ fees adding over 18% to the fee.

Alternatively the club can refuse the bid, forcing the league to arbitrate making it even more complicated. In this scenario (i believe) it falls on the player to buy (break) himself out of the contract, but the way that would be done the money will be considered an income during the process, incurring a 44% taxation.

I'm not expert but that's my best understanding and interpretation of the rules."

i dont care if it is motd fever that shaqiri is class for his age better than muniain by far !

25 Jun 2011 20:33:08
javi martinez is the man!! bet someone makes a big big move for him, wouldnt mind even madrid going for him and we get alonso, clearly id love martinez but we be well priced out

ryan babel for 30mil dont lie
and the under 21 final your fact is tomorrow get your facts right you person and stop messing with us {Ed009's Note - the final is tonight - I'm watching it as we speak - and it was an obvious joke.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:32:23
{Ed009's Note - thats not all; not only are we planning on spending 20 million on our number two keeper, who'll play a game or two a season, Kenny is also going to spend 30 million bringing none other than Liverpool legend RYAN BABEL back from Wolfsburg as the marquee signing.}

haha ed love that put-down, but i should add that babel in fact went to hoffenheim and not wolfsburg.. is it true that diego from wolfsburg is now available on a free due to his contract being terminated? is he someone kenny will consider, cos on fifa at least he is a quality player..? (don't worry i don't judge every player by fifa!) {Ed009's Note - I know mate, it would have been the ideal put down too! I think I sort of saved it with my correction on banter involving TheTurdz though haha. He has not had his contract terminated, but he did receive a hefty fine and Wolfsburg are making it clear to anyone who will listen that he is for sale. Liverpool have enquired about the player to my knowledge so he could make the move.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:35:33
Just wondering.
Who is this Charles Adams bloke I have heard people linking lfc with?
A midfielder at BlackPool or somesuch??
FFS!
I go to bed with his name flaming etched inti my thoughts.
Just sign him for christs sake

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:28:32
Watching the under twentyone final xhedran shaqiri is a great natural footballer with dalglish, s management he could be a fantastic footballer :) getting him for 8mil now wouldnt be a bad deal.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:23:47
K thanks for that ed keep up the good work!!! Skurks

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:17:17
Hi Folks, this has to be an EXCLUSIVE, I've just had my Grandma on the phone, she lives opposite the gates to Melwood & she swears she has just seen a Mercedes pull up and Ryan Babel and Andrea Dossena got out and went in with someone that looked like a Doctor, well he had a stethoscope around his neck, this could what we've all been waiting for!... What is your take on this Ed?

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:16:33
Anything on Santi Cazorla? Is Ryan Babel going to make a return?
Thanks. {Ed009's Note - Santi Cazorla is likely to move to Malaga unfortunately, and Ryan Babel won't make a return, I made a joke about him returning and at that exact same time he posted YNWA on his Twitter haha.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:15:53
Adam Johnson on Merseyside today having his medical ahead of his £16.8m move to Liverpool. Johnson has agreed a five year deal with the reds. Juan Mata has also agreed terms however this deal will not be finalised until the under 21's European Championships are concluded. Mata will cost in the region of £26m. These deals added to the fact that Aquiliani is heading back means Pool will probably have to sell Meireles to balance the books with Juventus his likely destination!! Charlie Adam will also be a Liverpool Player in the next 48 hours!!

Just seen this on the main page any truth in this ed? Thanks {Ed009's Note - I'm afraid not at this point in time.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:13:14
25 Jun 2011 19:48:27
kenny dalglish is at the u21 final.. just seen him shake hands with mata and then wink at de gea? maybe were swooping in on uniteds target as our new number 2! {Ed009's Note - thats not all; not only are we planning on spending 20 million on our number two keeper, who'll play a game or two a season, Kenny is also going to spend 30 million bringing none other than Liverpool legend RYAN BABEL back from Wolfsburg as the marquee signing.}

Ed009, how the hell are you an Ed when we only just sold Babel to HOFFENHEIM six months ago? How can you know about the top secret deals when you don't even now the official stuff? {Ed009's Note - feel free to check banter to see the reason for our new signing... it was all a joke.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:10:14
has anyone heard anything about mata stating he'd love to play for liverpool to the radio station el larguero? rumour flying around.

ps ed009: babel plays for hoffenheim. i'm sorry for being a smart-ass. {Ed009's Note - you may think you have caught me out, but Babel will be moving to Wolfsburg first for a German League record 60 million. Magath will soon alienate the player, and agree to sell him to LFC for 30 million. I got all this from TheTurdz so it must be true...}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:06:54
by the sounds of it adam and downing will be signing...i think downing will cost 2 much money tho.20m madness! but i tink he do well 4 us..what do u think of downing ed? {Ed009's Note - the best way for everybody to think about it is this: is he better than what we have currently? The answer is undoubtedly yes; so I think he would be a good signing, yes. I don't think the fee will be quite 20 million either.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:06:38
kenny dalglish is at the u21 final.. just seen him shake hands with mata and then wink at de gea? maybe were swooping in on uniteds target as our new number 2! {Ed009's Note - thats not all; not only are we planning on spending 20 million on our number two keeper, who'll play a game or two a season, Kenny is also going to spend 30 million bringing none other than Liverpool legend RYAN BABEL back from Wolfsburg as the marquee signing.}

Funny you mention that ed you wouldnt believe who is sitting next to kenny at the match none other than ryan babel! ah well in kenny we trust ey!

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:00:09
Meireles or Adam:
Press "Believable" if you say Meireles. Press "Unbelievable" if you say Adam. In my opinion, Meireles is miles better and I really hope we are not stupid enough to let him go.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:00:03
{Ed002's Note - Kev, we are done with this for now thanks.}

eds. who would you say has been the player that most lfc fans have wanted kk to sign in this window.i know theres been alot. i dont mean rumours i mean like to see signed please try to answer. i think matta and turan. {Ed009's Note - at the start it would have to be Aguero but I think that has developed to Mata as our constant 0/10's have worn the dreamers down.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 19:55:22
Ed do u think filipe melo would be a good signin? I think he's a liability to be honest. And what do u think of diego and mata on each wing? thanks {Ed009's Note - I would not be happy with the signing of Melo. He is no more than a battering ram, and Lucas is far better. Whilst Diego is not traditionally a winger, he could perhaps be utilised there by Kenny, who usually plays one more conventional winger and another more centrally. We have inquired as to the players' availability I believe but that is all it is at this point.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 19:54:39
Why not swap Mereiles and Aquilani for MATA?

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 20:03:29
25 Jun 2011 19:48:27
kenny dalglish is at the u21 final.. just seen him shake hands with mata and then wink at de gea? maybe were swooping in on uniteds target as our new number 2! {Ed009's Note - thats not all; not only are we planning on spending 20 million on our number two keeper, who'll play a game or two a season, Kenny is also going to spend 30 million bringing none other than Liverpool legend RYAN BABEL back from Wolfsburg as the marquee signing.}

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

I was believing this right up until you said Ryan Babel played for Wolfsburg!

Ed,

I have a question. We can only register 25 players for EPL.

Why not tell the likes of Jovanovic, Poulsen and Degen that they wont be selected for the 25 if they dont move.....They obviously love their fat contract and prefer money to football...

Let them sit on their ass for six months without a game. Now this should definitely affect their potential to get a decent wage in their next contract (with a diff club).......All three are 30, 31 and 28 respectively.....So they have at least one more contract left in them as players....

But if we dont use them even for a reserve game, then it should really affect a player to be without a game for more than 5-6 months.....And then see how they react in January.....

But the question I have is that "Are these kind of actions generally taken at English clubs?" and "How does it usually affect a player?"........

I know it happens in Italy but not sure about other countries??.....

LiverBird {Ed009's Note - I think it would be considered arrogant and somewhat disrespectful to do such a thing to a player just because they won't move clubs. It would also mean us getting a smaller price for the player in the long run. The only time I could see such a thing happening would be if they were, say, 6 months or a year from the end of their contract, and were to leave on a free anyway.}

{Ed002's Note - I had not heard anything before you mentioned it and obviously I don't care for gossip at all - particularly anything involving high-profile Liverpool players and the Uzbekistani Ladies Beach Volleyball team in a Belgium hotel. I think it right we keep it quiet.}
------------------------

Thankfully it was the ladies team is all i will add to that lol!
It is almost certainly true though & not gossip though i'm afraid!
It'll come out in time but not on the scale of the Kennedy assassination or Three Mile Island.
Thanks for answering the question ed.
Irish Kev.

{Ed002's Note - I am sure it will eventually come out. But until then only you, I, the Liverpool back four, the Uzbekistani Ladies Beach Volleyball team and a miniature poodle called Bernard will know the truth.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 19:19:02
there'll be plenty of interest in mata as hes a top player, he wont end up at liverpool because we cant even offer europa league football never mind CL

Hi Folks, this has to be an EXCLUSIVE, I ve just had my Grandma on the phone, she lives opposite the gates to Melwood & she swears she has just seen a Mercedes pull up and Ryan Babel and Andrea Dossena got out and went in with someone that looked like a Doctor, well he had a stethoscope around his neck, this could what we ve all been waiting for!... What is your take on this Ed?

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 19:13:24
lfc website claims mata is more interested in us than man city and barca
if we put about 20mil in we should get him

NO IT DOESNT, that is taken from papers and placed in the transfer gossip section of the site, it has nothing to do with the club. check your facts before you post

mate if people checked their facts before posting there would be no posts.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 19:11:20
carroll and henderson £55 million
not being funny but is that money well spent.
im sure we could have done a lot better i just hope we dont end up spending the rest of what we have on adam downing wicham ect.nowhere near good enough.

Fair enough Ed.

{Ed002's Note - Kev, we are done with this for now thanks.}

Charlie adam deals has hit the rocks apparently Charlie requires 2 turnips a week. Kenny is only willing to pay him one turnip and one carrot per week. Greedy players strike again

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 18:54:43
I personally think we should buy diego, he's got great technique, free kicks and great at linkin up the play. What do you think and do you think we could get him? Thanks {Ed002's Note - He is available for £10M euro. Make a bid.}

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

Ed,

Why should we go for Diego? His attitude hasnt been right in his last 2 clubs.....

We should instead look at Sergio Canales (who is left to rot at RMadrid as long as Jose is there).....He is good, creative and certainly his best days are ahead of him....

Or Arda Turan who will be fantastic......tremendous attitude and talent.....plus his wage demands wont be astronomical....

Usually players who have changed multiple clubs have huge wage demands.......

Plus Diego hasnt won anything in Europe as yet and too often displays rash behaviour which I feel is not good at all......

Infact all was well at Wolfsburg till Diego and our friend "Wally with Brolly" turned up and almost turned them upside down.....


LiverBird {Ed001's Note - I wouldn't touch Diego if they were paying us 10m.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 18:53:44
Evening edwards how are you all this evening now I know a
Few of you are Downing fans I just cant seem to rate even signed him on footy manager and fifa 11 he was shocking just
cant seem get get my head round the £16mil price tag surely johnson would be the better buy for an extra £2mil and as for mata think we need to look else where yes he is mega hot but could he really cope with the strengh of the league just look at silva hasnt really set any fireworks off at city has he please if you have time let me no what you think thanx edwards

But seriously, can you see it happening later? {Ed001's Note - why would Liverpool want him back?}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 18:50:58
Ed002, no offence over the post re Simon Cowell intended at all.It just seems that because you tell it how it is weather thats what they want to hear or not, when you answer a question they wanted the answer too, it seems other people will then keep asking the same question over and over, but sulk when they get a realistic answer, just like the X factor contestansts used to do before he left.Just an observation, any comment please ed002. Jonson6 {Ed002's Note - No problem and I didn't know who Simon Cowell is - but I do now. Thanks.}
-------------------
This post about Ed002 is very true!
It's actually a compliment as Cowell is a class act!
People don't like to hear the truth - that's their tough luck really!

Can you Eds (Eds001, Eds002 or Eds009) comment on that post i sent you guys earlier about the potential breaking news story?
I just wanted to know if that particular story was common knowledge in the UK now or still under wraps for now?

Not trying to put you on the spot eds, sorry if you feel like i am - can you just answer "yes" it's common knowledge or "no" if it's not & i'll leave it at that.

Many thanks,

Liverpool on the verge of signing Stewi Downinga and Charlize Adamio absolutely delighted myself and now that I, ve given their names a bit of Latin flavour I, m pretty sure all the doubters will now be onside :)
In Kenny we Trust..

I'll get my coat on and pop around there....it's a well known fact that anyone arriving in Liverpool is greeted at the rocket by media and a welcoming committee.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 18:18:36
Just heard for def aguero is nailed on he will sign on wed!!! My source is Kenny himself just seen him in tesco's so i chanced my arm and asked him! Plus he was buying some argentinian wine so I know he was serious!! I've got my shirt printed and new tat done already!!

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 18:17:15
Why does anyone care what we pay for players? I'm gonna go to the pub, anyone got a problem with me paying £4 a pint?

I do that's very expensive you could get a pint in Cork for £2.66 ( 3) :-)

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 18:12:51
Starting to see negative posts from fans. Understandable, but I feel that something being done the old "Liverpool way" could be happening. Why would Pepe commit unless he knew something for definate? Not just promises because he would have seen how that panned out previously with Nando, then he got off because of lies and false promises. Pepe knows, Gerrard when he was interviewed on Sky was buzzin when talking about next season and new faces. The international window doesnt open until July 1st, but that doesnt mean that "a player or players" have not already committed.
Otherwise Pepe wouldnt have signed. I think something big and exciting could be happening.Keep the faith ladies and gents.
Lets look at the maths:
Babel £7m sold
Torres £50m sold

£57m in

Carroll £35m
Suarez £20m
Henderson £16m

£71m out

Rumour of NESV/Fenway spending big.DC wants to tie deals up early if you believe what he said on LFCTV after Henderson signed. KK back off hols next week, perfect timing for Tfr window open and pre season........Let us all wait and see.

pls post in rumors

25 Jun 2011 17:21:43
ED02, Can i ask why on the rumour page you have Adam as an 8, and Downing as a 9 when its being widely reported Adam is already in Liverpool having his nuts yanked by an LFC Dr. and we haven't heard anything about Big Ek agreeing to a sale or fee for Downing yet? Not doubting you, just interested why this hasn't been picked up on yet? {Ed002's Note - If that is the case it should have been the other way round. Both afre likely to join. Try not to read so much in to it.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 17:20:58
Please don't take this in any spirit other than genuine interest, but why does ed02 spend so much time on the Liverpool page when he/she clearly has little respect for the club? I understand the need and desire for a fair, balanced and level headed approach to the rumours here, but edits/responses following along the line of "you're all thick, nobody worthwhile wants to join liverpool and I know more than anyone else" doesn't really fit that bill. This isn't a complaint so much as a query; I find it interesting is all and love the site.

Milamber {Ed002's Note - Thank you for your complaint. Could you please point me at a response where I have said "you're all thick" (or anything like that) or "nobody worthwhile wants to join Liverpool"? If I am asked a question about Neymar joining Liverpool I will honestly answer that he won't. Why is that a problem to you? If I am asked about Ganso joining, I will say that he won't. Again why is that a problem to you? Have you been upset by my saying that Torres will not be returning this summer when I was asked earlier? If so I hardly see it as my problem. Were you upset be me saying that Mata will not join Liverpool before the Under 21 championship because Valencia want to see if there was interest from elsewhere or from Barcelona? Well what happened? If you can only live with good news, then ask me if Charlie Adam will be signing and I will tell you that he very probably will. If you want anything else, try asking one of the other Eds to lie to you. And please do not read a word I write from now on.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 17:43:04
Wish all the moaners about Downing would keep quiet - one of best English wingers, rated by capello, if he becomes regular England international then value could double! On to banter - the fact we paid £16m for Henderson gives me confidence on budget - just need to shift high earning fringe players before more moves for Mata, quality left back, centre back and playmaker.

25 Jun 2011 17:40:47
Javi Martinez signed a contract extension last month so i doubt even with persistent enquires from us he'd be even allowed to talk to us

lets concentrate on the players we have and could have (Downing + Adam) rather than think about what could have been

LFCTHB007

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 17:32:44
tbh im not that pleased with adam coming to us i feel javi martinez should definitely be the player to go for in cm younger definitley a better prospect but the kid can play now... seemed like the main things for the new transfer policy but if KK thinks adam is the right person then who am i to judge
---------------------------------------------------------

what if we have enquired and he doesnt want to come?? thats what makes me laugh about these posters. its all good saying get this player, get that player. BUT WHAT IF HE DOESNT WANT TO COME!!
---------------------------------------------
He said "go for" which means try.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 17:31:23
is adam having a medical? {Ed009's Note - whether he is having one at this exact moment or not is certainly debatable, but tit appears he will undertake one some time today. Downing is also near to being signed.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 17:28:57
25 Jun 2011 17:05:18
Don't know if this is old news, but ssn are reporting that aquaman's agent has said that his place is at anfield, at least for the first half of the season. I personally see this as only a good thing, our centre mods will have to compete for places, ensuring the highest calibre team we can field. he has such an eye for a pass that I can see players like henderson striving to overtake him in the pecking order.

77chris

Going by what has been said before, I completely disagree, I don't see how having someone who doesn't want to be there as a good thing, he could be very disruptive and upset the whole squad.

ed 002 is the man agree totally with what you said about ERIK LAMELA dont know about the new messi but there certainly is something about him when you watch him and at 19 he hasnt even peaked or come close to peaking he will be an amense player in years to come liverpool should pounce on him as soon as the match finishes tomoz YNWA

TEAM LAMELA. {Ed009's Note - Ed002 was being wholly sincere in his description of Lamela, certainly.}

Is there anything on this Kaka loan rumour..or is just wishful thinking..although it would be a win win for us..just wondering wot ur thoughts are on this.cheers

There is alot of incorrect information being mentioned regarding activity at Melwood.I live around the corner and walked up expecting to see something of note, however there isnt a single journalist, autograph hunter, world class signing etc etc in sight.

I remember marveoux being a ''9'' nothing is done till LFC confirm it

25 Jun 2011 17:12:30
I for one hope Adam doesn't sign. It's not for footballing reasons, it's just the fact the Ed's on this sight will be need some form of therapy to deal with no longer receiving questions about Adam every 30 seconds.

Please can the readers on this site read the full page before asking questions, it's a lot easier.

Roy

By the way ed what's the chance out of 10 that Adam signs today ?

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 17:12:01
love it how most of the eds have got issues about twitter when its got far more bulls*tters on here.

25 Jun 2011 17:08:41
Both Adam & Downing are 1/20 with skybet to move to us, bookies cant be that wrong can they??

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 17:07:50
When people are saying melwood is active, where are they getting this info? I'm an avid follower of this site and love hearing the rumours etc. Hopefully they can secure the signings of Adam and downing and then concentrate on wickham. He really is a great prospect for the future. He's a Liverpool fan according to a lot of people which hopefully will give us an edge over potential rivals trying to sign

Although Sunderland have made a bid hopefully he will realise that Liverpool will be the best place to continuing his footballing process.

Really excited for the new season now. And ps, downing may seem expensive, but he will prove his worth by ensuring we get the best out of Andy Carroll with his great crosses. With Adam on the radar too we will find it easier to get the ball over to the wings!

Cheers all {Ed002's Note - I am guessing a light went on at Melwood and it was all over Twitter.}

why is mata 4 he is welcoming our bid and he and his agent(father)want him here {Ed002's Note - I am not going to start justifying these, sorry. He is a very long way from being signed up right now.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 16:58:09
The last time king kenny took over he made several big signings including digger, beardo, houghton, aldo and more so keep the faith kopites he's gonna do the same don't worry about the mediocre players where linked with the king has fenways backing so expect 2-3 marquee signings if he does sign Adams and downing then it's to add to squad depth. In kenny we trust!!! Redted 75

Ed do you think torres would like a return back to ppool? {Ed002's Note - I think it unlikely this summer.

After another poor season would you want him back?

ARDA TURAN......

Could not agree more.Looks like just what we need and would certainly handle the pace and physical side of the EPL as well. Fingers crossed that he is a little LFC secret.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 16:55:29
Surely Pepe Reina hasnt committed his future to us, after being convinced by King Kenny that we are gonna sign quality and make a charge for top four, knowing tjat these signings will be Jordan Henderson, Stewart Downing, and Charlie Adam? Surely more high prodile signings to come.....

{Ed002's Note - Lamela is the new Messi, Maradona, Pele, Lev Yashin, Marvin Hinton all rolled in to one. Lamela may leave River Plate this summer - likely destination is Italy with strong interest from Juventus, Roma, Napoli and Palermo. England almost certainly out due to some very shady ownership issues.}
--------------------------------
Lev Yashin? The lad plays goalie too?

{Ed002's Note - The complete player. Actually I though it was the Marvin Hinton link that would be questioned.}

Hi eds why are people so negative about adam and downing, adam is better than meireles in my opinion by far and merieles only had a good few months so i would sell him while we can still get money for him, and downing is very expierenced in the prem and has done well at every club he has been at. Please post this eds. {Ed002's Note - I would guess that they don't have the pizzazz of Alonso and Mata, nothing more than that.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 16:46:30
Ed002, as much as i disagree with you and the other eds on a minor thing here and ties.I can understand at you getting pissed at keep having them throw the same questions thrown at you on more then a regular basis. I think i have the answer why! In my opinion they see you as the Simon Cowell of the eds.It seems to me some fans keep asking you the same questions time and time and time again, when they've probably read your answers already on previous posts.And then because they got an answer they'd like to have, they'd like the same answer off you again to the exact same question. Some fans want to ask you again and again to seek your approval so to speak.Would any other poster agree that the a lot of posters want to seek approval to the questions off ed002 then any other of the eds.

I'm really glad with the optimism and confidence that users on this site have in King Kenny and Commolli. I am optimistic and confident about the future as well. However I would like to say that confidence is not blind faith. It doesn't mean that whatever the pair do is correct. While I'm generally satisfied with the three signings we made since KK took charge, I just hope that IF they do make a mistake one day that you all will not be too disappointed/refuse to come to terms with reality. Let's keep our feet on the ground everyone.

Confidence is not blind faith

Charile Adam and Steward Downing will only improve our squad. And people who are moaning about; got no clue about football what so ever. They are 100 times better than Poulsen and Jovanovic anyway.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 16:22:47
Charlie Adam is a lazy s**t or do we just send cars to go and get everyone we want to sign?
I'm so disappointed the fact that we have even made contact yet alone are supposedly close to signing him.
Come on kk get mata and quality not chubby Scotsmen who was only good in a team full of crap

Hi
Since Torres has left us you all are aware and will agree with me that there has been a gap in the marketing side for a player who can sell shirts.
Now from a very reliable source we are interested in signing KAKA on loan with view to permanent transfer.
Madrid wants cash from us but we want loan as there is doubt on his willingness for effort and fitness.we are OK for loan because we see him giving a push in Asia and Latin America more on marketing side plus he can prove to be ace if he is success also with loan we then can save our Budget for other signings but still in everyones eyes sign a marquee player. So if he is not a success at our club we can just send him back to Madrid.
Also our marketing arm believe that his wages can be offset easily by the revenue we earn from his arrival.
Thats why DC went to Madrid in beginning of June if I am correct.
If my sources are correct problem for Kaka in Madrid is Mr. Jose who in his wisdom feels that Kaka is surplus and does not put a shift for team.
Our problem is that when we sold Alonso we actually dug our heals over fees and now Madrid is playing hard ball with us.

This wouldn't fit into the NSEV plans

All plans involve liverpool being a big sucess of and on the pitch.and if you read carefully that's why we want loan because in any senario we don't loose anything and stand to gain a lot.

Hi ed, iv heard that Adam is due at melwood at 5pm today, is there any truth in this? {Ed002's Note - I guess all of the other posts discussing this somehow got deleted.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 16:05:34
I would rather juan mata than downing. If downing was so good why didn't united by him so why would we buy him if we are tryin to win the league. Ed what's the chances of us gettin mata and gago? And wen the tranfer window opens do u think a mass exodus of players in and out? Thanks again {Ed002's Note - Gago there is a chance and Mata there is a chance. I don't expect a mass exodus or mass arrivals on Friday.}

(I know this isn't a rumour) but I seen Scott Dann walking through Liverpool 1 this afternoon.

I know he's from Liverpool, but I'm sure someone will make something of it! Ha!

While I'm on...what I've seen of Mata, he looks like a class act, although how he'd fair in the english game is another matter?

Not seen enough of Henderson to pass judgement this early; but I'm glad we've missed out on Young - not the kind of 'personality' I'd like to see at Anfield.

Love the site 'Ed'...keep up the good work!

There is no medical at Melwood today gates are closed. Usually it will be at a private hospital in Liverpool City Centre on weekends. Melwood is shut of a weekend. I can confirm that if it doesn't happen today then it will monday morning. Please be patient expect Connor Wickham followed by Downing. Expect Charlie Adam first though
----------------------------------------------------------

you can always open the gates? how the hell do you know that there is NO-ONE IN MELWOOD RIGHT NOW? shut at weekends!? this isnt costcutter.

hello eds do any of your sources know if liverpool are signing adam soon ? Please post this {Ed002's Note - Please can you take the time to read the other posts.}
------------------------------

It reminds me of being back in school at times lol!
Maybe ed, there is a way to set a up FAQ page so that those folk who haven't a lot of spare time but want some answers can go & find the answer to their repetitive questions?!
Like "When will we sign Adam, Mata, Downing & Kun + Ken Aguero?" questions etc.
I know i would be very relieved to see these names disappear off of the banter page for now.
Just a thought, as I'm sure you eds would also like to see the back of repetitive questions?!
By the way, nobody knows anything about transfers at LFC anymore by the way poster - only Kenny, the board & Comolli.

Irish Kev.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 15:33:54
Before everbody has a go at Camolli .Suarez Was Comolli's choice not kenny's so let's at least give him a chance afterall it was Kenny who wanted carrol , Adam , Downing , henderson

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 15:32:26
Hi Ed looks like the Adam medical rumours are true as the guy reporting this works at Anfield lol i know your thinking yeah course he does lol but i think he actually does as theres a pic of him and Fowler and he's suited up with LFC tie on and says he works on the entrance to the executive lounge.

hi ed

who is this adam we are linked with, who does he play for and is he good enough for the mighty reds?

thanks

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 15:21:16
Sky Italia reporting that Juventus have bid 35 mil euros for Aguero but they want 45 goes to show though that if we did want him he would av been interested to come to us just that we dont want him and also shows the reports of Chelsea bids of 50 mil etc few weeks back a load of nonsense if they are willing to sell at 45. Maybe we will still go for Ken Aguero tho lol

25 Jun 2011 15:07:46
Hi Eds!!
All the fans are worried about who we are signing and all the names being linked to Lfc. What worries me most is the number of deadwood at our club. Cole, Jovanovic, Konchesky, Aquilani(back), Insua, Degen, El zhar, Brad jones, Poulsen, even Maxi. When these players are unwanted and are extracting huge salaries, can't there be a way to just get rid of them? be it by mutual consent or any other means, coz it's so depressing and sometimes nerve-wrecking to see all these people getting loads of money to sit on the bench and contributing nothing to the team.they are like parasites and we are stuck with them.they don't even want to leave coz the wages they are getting at our club won't be matched or bettered by other clubs.that's why I think we won't be signing many players coz we have to pay the deadwood every week.can't Lfc do something to just make them depart from Anfield? thx. {Ed002's Note - It is much more difficult than it perhaps should be. Take El Zhar for example - £30k plus per week at Liverpool. The club would need to pay up his contract and release him for free to get him to move on.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 15:03:13
Don't know how people can say Mata won't be coming to Liverpool? He's going to listen to all offers and it looks like he's heading to the Prem so in my opinion we have a very good chance of signing him. Do you agree Ed? {Ed002's Note - No. I think there is a chance as I have said repeatedly - but not a "very good chance".}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 14:56:30
Why does anyone care what we pay for players? I'm gonna go to the pub, anyone got a problem with me paying £4 a pint?

no but if you bring 10 pounds you can only have 2 but if you get a fair price , say £3 you can have 3 pints ... get me ?

Ed how can you be so sure there is no interest in Hulk. As we have watched porto all season and he is probably there best player and can play as a foward or winger which suits us perfectly. This could be like january when everyone said we were watching other players at ajax rather than suarez and infact it was wrong. I know Hulk has a huge buy out clause but he will go for much less than that. Just wondering your thoughts? {Ed002's Note - From my perspective there has been no confirmed interest in the player from Liverpool. He will probably be staying at Porto after signing a new contract with a nifty €100M escape clause unless there are issues with the new manager. With the club also likely needing to replace Falcao, they will not be keen to let Hulk go. They have Champions League football and I am sure he would also wasnt a shot at that.}

So far liverpool fail 2 replace the outgoing players with the right and appropriate players to come in' Suarez was a right striker 2 replace Torres and everybody is happy with that. But the issue of Alonso and mascherano the club fail 2 replace them with appropriate players and that's the reason why Gerrad cannot do better this days.deadwood in the midfield need 2 be eliminated in the squad before its not 2 late, defensive line-up of skertel and others need 2 be strengthened also.

Damien Cammoli would be scared to undermine Kenny Dalglish as he has done with Martin Jol.
Dalglish is one of the greatest people who have ever been involved with LFC and this greatness will rise above any friction generated behind the scenes at Anfield.

5 Jun 2011 12:50:59 Whats all this about Diego?? they keep saying the Brazillian Diego, do they mean Diego Ribas Da Cunha? I heard something about him ages ago, he's meant to be temperamenta right, bloody awesome though when he's on form...do you thik Kenny could bring out the best in him? could bring out the best in him? i know he's had trouble at Wolfsberg and Juve...also he is meant to be able to play on the wing as well isn't he? Could you imagine...Mata and Diego on the wings, Suarez, Carroll and Aguero (*hides in the corner*) up front...now i am dreaming! know he's had trouble at Wolfsberg and Juve...also he is meant to be able to play on the wing as well isn't he? Could you imagine...Mata and Diego on the wings, Suarez, Carroll and Aguero (*hides in the corner*) up front...now i am dreaming
---------
he is a trouble maker but he just needs the right club and manager. Don't forget suarez was a trouble maker at groningen and even took them to court to help engineer a move to ajax, as well as biting people. Anelka was a known trouble maker but settled really well at lfc.

With the right manager a trouble maker can be guided, its just a calculated risk.

emands? Square tomato {Ed002's Note - I don't know of any interest from Spain and his wages will not be an Spain and his wages will not be an issue. I still expect he will end up in Italy. I was told an offer from Turkey was not followed up.} Italy. I was told an offer from Turkey was not followed up.}
----------
in italy there is still very much a huge bias for players playing in italy to be picked for national team. Unless you're an exveptional player if you don't play in italy you don't play for italy. Aquaman knows this which is why he is so desperate to stay there, amongst his issues with the pace an physocality of prem league too.

For the money I'd rather go for sturridge who has proved he can score in the premiership and i see wickham to be too similar to carroll.Someone like sturridge would fit into the team alot better as he could play alongside any of the strikers
--------
After doing some research and watching some ipswich games id say wickham is the player I expected carroll to be. The only real sinilarity between them is the are both big and physically strong. Wickham is better with the ball at his feet and carroll with it in the air. Id also say wickham accelerated better and works more for the team. I've aleways found carroll to be a bit lazy.

Why do you people say that alberto aquilani does not want to play for Liverpool FC anymore?. Just think, if Alberto didnt like playing for us AT ALL, wouldnt he have done a "Diego". Me thinks that next season Alberto will stay and i also think that he will be a crucial player because i have seen him play for Juve and he looks more fit than ever...

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 13:46:03
People still having a dig at henderson?, jesus...
Ok, people have to realise that the talents he posesses now are the talents he needs to build a future in a high profile team, Lots of players have dribbling ability and a good turn of pace, but a lot of these can't read a game or see anything on the pitch, and therefore can't play football yet, there is much much more to the game than technical ability, good ball control and a decent pass won't help you if you can't read the play and spot a players. These talents are usually things that you are born with, Jordan Henderson is one of these players, his technical ability, although sound, is not quite there yet, which is not surprising given his age and the coaching he has received over the years, but the talents he DOES possess are not like the developmental skills of dribbling and ball control, they are the very rare talents of reading play and having beautiful awareness for a player of his age. Everything else can be developed over the coming years, and although i am saying he needs development in these areas, he is actually very technically gifted, not so much as Neymar and Bojan, but very gifted none the less, and he has these talents that Neymar and Bojan DO NOT have.

In summary, the ability to read play and the awareness that Henderson shows, CANNOT be coached, by ANYONE, so give him the time to match his technical ability with his mental capacity for the game, and we will see a very solid and reliable player in the future, you don't have to be a messi or iniesta to help your team win trophies.

Aqualani and Meireles to net LFC £25-30 million. LFC will add significant funds to this sum of money, depending on who they can this summer.
Net spend could approach £90 million if LFC are successfull in attracting certain players.

People here are becoming too much real thinking that there is no chance mata would sign, but only if they forgot the transfer of Robinho to city. He was in frame for chelsea but city got him. They offered more money but because they didn't had much of the history to back them up. We have that plus Mata himself would be interested in the move. i am not saying its a definite, but we can get him, quite easily, if we try. I hope, its true but if we are chasing downing like its being said, I think its more and more unlikely. please Kenny bring mata.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 13:30:02
I'm not going to "accept the fact" that Mata's not coming, until I see it with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears that he is not.

Now all you people saying "Mata is not coming! Accept the fact." please tell me where you got this evidence from. Much appreciate it if you do as you obviously seem to think it's certain.

Never posted on this site before. I have One question being a lifelong Liverpool fan. Am I the only One who thinks that we need a decent centre half? How many goals did we concide from corners and headers last season? Answer = Too f---ing manty. {Ed009's Note - I think it is a position that the board will be looking to strengthen and if a good player who Kenny is interested in becomes available, we will likely buy them}.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

People keep talking about last season, if you're going to make these comments, make them "the second half of last season". Because i think it'd be a good idea to completely forget the first half, that wasn't liverpool, and as such should not be referred to on a statistical basis. I'm happy to refer to it in an emotional way as it should be used to spark us into action to be sure we leave that period well and truly in the back of our minds, but the statistics shouldn't be used as a template to build on.

Malaga sign Valencia winger Jaquin Sanchez. Maybe this puts Mata's move in doubt or make it harder to sign him as Valencia wouldn't want to lose both their first team wingers. Please post in rumours Ed. {Ed002's Note - This is not new news - and you may be interested to know that Malaga are also close to signing Cazorla.}

To all of the clows doubting Start Downing saying he's overrated. He's not overrated at all, he was statically one of the best wingers in the premier league last season. He scored 7 goals and assisted in 7 goals in 38 games. Also he made 324 total crosses and 77 of these were chances created. I'd like to point out he had a better season than Silva statistically, so If anyone is overrated It is David Silva. He would be a bargain and if anything he is underrated and dissed by people who have never seen him play. Let's not forget it's not like Villa had big powerful players in the box, I'm sure he'll do better at Liverpool.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 13:18:49
What is wrong with a lot of Liverpool fans??? We're interested in good solid players yet every1 is still giving out. Moaning moaning moaning. Why not trust what DC and KK are doing. At the end of the day we'll have a much stronger squad in place plus the manager we want so why all the whinging and negativity. I for one cant wait for the new season under the expert guidance of KING KENNY.

The warnings about Comolli's power-hungry attitude and his tendency to claim all the credit continue to worry me.
FSG seem very impressed with him, but most others have real concerns- there is more than enough evidence to think he is basically a bad egg.

But we can only hope he has turned a corner in some way and intends to be more honorable in his future conduct than people say he was been in the past.

If he forces some kind of showdown with KK over authority and control, I hope FSG will back Kenny- it would be a tragedy if they didnt. People like Comolli are ten a penny- they are competent business people, but with no charisma or leadership.

Comolli couldnt have made that team play the way they did after january- that takes something very special.

People like KK are very, very rare- and he needs to know Comolli isn't plotting and spoiling his reputation in the eyes of the owners.

"25 Jun 2011 10:35:34
Apparrently dc starting to undermine kk and alot of negative comments being made behind closed doors while face to face things remain amicable possibly a power struggle starting to develope personally hope this does not happen as it can only harm lfc in the transfer market and upcoming season my source is a former great irish international
lfc dub
***************************************
learn to spell...and you are an utter liar!

I for one wouldn't be at all surprised if this were true. None of the managers he has worked wth have anything good to say about him, and there were a LOT of negative comments on here when he first joined LFC, saying he was power-hungry and wanted final say in everything. and since he did join, all he has dne is pay the exact asking price for Suares, and stupid money for Carroll. if you read Mrtin Jol's outburst this week you'll get the picture!
**********************************************************************************
Comolli was Frank Arnesen's successor as Director of Football at Spurs.
His time there was controversial, as Martin Jol claimed Comolli had signed players over his head and when Jol's successor, Juande Ramos, led the team to the bottom of the table at the beginning of the 2008-09 season, Comolli and Ramos were sacked.
Then it was back to Saint Etienne before his friendship with baseball coach Billy Beane brought him to the attention of John Henry! {Ed002's Note - You should perhaps Google the warning that St Etienne's Bernard Caiazzo sent out when Comolli made the move to Liverpool last year.}

As if Barcelona were to sign Fabregas i believe he'd play in an attackive role in the midfield, behind Messi and Villa or replacing Pedro. Exactly what Mata can and does do, he is younger and will cost less therefore is an 'alternative' for Barcelona if Arsenal hold out for more money which they will and Barcelona are not willing to pay the top end.

Dear Reds / Eds
I am sad to report that my fledgling efforts to sign up Juan Mata and Stuart Downing, on a world-shattering double exclusive deal, were dealt a fatal blow at 11.30pm last night.
My f****** Euro Lottery numbers never came up.
ps you may be glad to know however that things are looking up with the Christian Poulsen move to our local five-a-side team. It's looking like he's prepared to be second sub.

are these rumors about adam deal to be done over the weekend true? and is downing going to give in a trasnsfer request and how much out of 10 are the possibilitis of them coming i think really high

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 13:07:19
Charlie Adam is signing this weekend. Lets not rule out Mata either, I'd say we are favourites to land him, we can offer first team football, I can't see him getting in Cities starting 11 because they have to many players like him, Adam Johnson, David Silva, Wright Philips Etc... They are missing a good crosser of the ball and width, the closest thing they have is James Milner so I can't see them needing Mata. Also looks like Downing will be joining, what a summer it is turning out to be and were not even in July yet!

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 12:54:28
For me Liverpools replacement for Raul should be one of the following. Thiago Alcantara, Coutinho, Honda or Lucus (unlikely to sell but should put in a large bid anyway). Alot of them are unlikely but clubs could be interested with the right price.

if villa want 19 mill for downing they shouls chuck in stephen warnock free in the deal then everyone will be happy

DOWNING, ADAM
just a thought a lot of people dont fancy these players mainly because they are british i think, if they were latin american of spanish everyone would be delighted,
we have been playing with no real wide man for years so even a mediocre winger would improve us, downing is a very good player who has struggled with injuries now fully fit and villa player of the season he will surprise people on here, also adam has skills that raul merelles, lucas leva, and jay spearing just have not got his tackling, passing and heading are miles better and safer than both raul and lucas have shown also scores more than the three of them put together so how charley adam wont improve us i dont know, people on here seem to like moaning and telling lies bob paisleys skids

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 12:34:57
I am still hoping that a lot of the Downing stuff is a smoke screen. I find it difficult to see why we would prefer him to someone like Arda Turan who looks a far better player for similar money.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 12:34:13
Mata will not be a Liverpool player next season, Barcelona see him as a cheaper, better alternative to Cesc Fabregas and it doesn't take rocket science to who he'd rather play for.

Liverpool?

Is diego a free agent now then? If he is i'd take him any day, alot of potential and we could do with some Brazilian flair in our team to open up some defences. {Ed002's Note - No, not free. 10M euros.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 11:58:47
I really dont undestand why everyone is giving out about us not signing enough players yet?! how about everyone just sits back let KK & DC do there jobs and see what happens. People seem to forgot that we bought 2 great young players in Jan ( suarez & carroll ) I'm 99% sure there is going to be a suprise in store for us all. lets face it no one knows who were going to sign apart from KK & DC we've been linked with about 50 players since the transfer window opened!

25 Jun 2011 11:25:28
Wherever Juan Mata ends up is up to him. Everybody has an opinion that he's either coming, most blaming Stewart Downing for daring to rear his head in this world, for the reason he may not come.As more then one of the eds have stated that their not gonna be competing for the same spot in the team anyhow.Just because both are left footed and play an attacking position doesn't mean they cant play in the same team .I dont know how many times i've read that he'll look at ALL the offers put to him once the games over tonight, not litterely but some time very very soon.Plus some of us are going on like he's a free agent, he's Valencia's player who'll cost at least 25mil if were lucky. I think he'd be worth every penny and i really em hope we can well K.K and D.C can sell the club him.I dont think he's nailed on by any stretch but it wouldn't suprise me if he did arrive here before the season starts. Sorry for shouting All but want to emphasise they are the noises coming from him and his old man. Jonson6

Really don't see the point in making up or just guessing that dc is undermining kk. 1) How would u know? other than the stupid rumours like "me dads, nans mate knows kenny and he told her" and 2) weve only made 1 transfer this season (Henderson) and that was a player who BOTH kenny and comolli watched a lot of last season so they obviously agreed on him.
3) all these people worrying we havent made another signing yet, look at it this way, Last season we were linked with carlton cole etc, this season mata etc. AND Rick Parry wouldve been on some cruise by now so just be grateful that were actually trying to sign players.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 11:15:25
What's the difference with DC's previous jobs where he was slammed than the one he has now? Two words; King Kenny! This is Liverpool FC, the kings club!

He may of wanted so much power in his previous jobs but he won't get it in Liverpool because all Kenny would do is just go public or get a close friend to go public on it and DC would be ran out of the club - DC IMO has given a list to KD and he will decide which player (s) he wants DC to pursue. No player isn't gonna arrive up at Melwood without Kenny knowing - It ain't happening! So relax people it's only the 25th June! We have made one big money signing - In recent years we would of been done with the big figures if that was the case, at least we can expect more big signings!

Anyone know of any players that DC has ever signed that went on to make a profit for their clubs or any players that set the world on fire (Suarez excluded - anyone watching the world cup could see how good he was and we didn't get him for any less than Ajax wanted).
Getting a little concerned about reports from Anfield and also the lack of apparent deals for players. Hope that things are blown out of all proportion but I couldn't see the point of DC when he joined and nothing has changed that opinion since.
Will give credit if it becomes due but so far it's not.
I know we need good policies in place but not at the detriment of progress. If he misses out on Vargas/Clichy/Enrique/Cissokho then I'll be very worried.
I think we should employ a couple of the Eds to run the transfers at the club. Seem a bit more switched on to me.

You heard it here first Adam & downing(cancels out MATA ) both to be unveiled on Friday 1st July as Liverpool players

Following these two I have been informed that clichy and wickham will follow

us getting adam and downing definitely will not cancel out any mata deal as we need 2 wingers mata will be a liverpool player watch and see and if we dont get mata and we r stuck with just downing ill be very disappointed so will many other liverpool fans

Mata will not be a Liverpool player next season, Barcelona see him as a cheaper, better alternative to Cesc Fabregas and it doesn't take rocket science to who he'd rather play for.

1) mata plays different position to fabregas
2) mata wants liverpool
3) mata knows he will struggle for a place in the barca team with the players they already have like messi iniesta pedro and more to much competition

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 11:05:04
i think we need to stop worrying about what we paying for players at the moment, cos i think at the moment if we want good players we need to pay this much or we wont get anyone good enough to help us, and then we will be stuck as mid table team or worst, now u may say why dont we pay same prices for better players but u need to remember that those better players at the moment want champions league football now not in a year or 2 once we r back in top 4 and can attract better players then we can worry wat we pay for downing type players when we can pay same for better foreign players cos then we can attract the better players. but for now lets just not worry till were back in top 4

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 11:04:37
I thin any rumours of disagreement between Kenny and Damien Comolli are exaggerated. Comolli must realise that there is only ever going to be one outcome of any 'power struggle'? If Kenny was sacked or resigned because of any dispute with Comolli the fans would be in uproar and would turn on the owners just as they did with Statler and Waldorf. John Henry isn't stupid, if it comes down to backing one over the other it will be Kenny every time.

I for one wouldn't be at all surprised if this were true.

Utter rubbish, we did not pay the 35million quoted for Carrol we have done fantastic business since KK & DC have been in situ Henderson, Suarez, & Carrol no other EPL can boast 3 top class signings... Also fee was closer to twenty for Carrol i know this for the truth, along with wesley will not be leaving italy this window and Alonso was offered to man city to 11million when they were attempting to buy Barry, support your club and not talk utter tripe just because there is a quiet period good business does not happen overnight...

I googled this Ed like you asked ...

ST ETIENNE co-chairman Bernard Caiazzo has launched a stinging attack at former employee Damien Comolli.
Comolli was previously in charge of transfer signings at the French club but quit to become Liverpool's director of football strategy.
But Caiazzo said: "You need some humility in football and Damien was convinced he was right 100 per cent of the time. There was never any question of dialogue.
"Damien enjoyed total power in his first year with us. His was the last word on all transfers and that is how he wanted it.
"The manager at the time, Alain Perrin, had not even seen some of the players he was given. Damien was his boss.
"His powers were much reduced in January after the failure of his transfer policy the previous summer and he was not pleased.
"I would have fired him then but my co-chairman defended him for months, even when results were poor. It was a mistake bringing him back to the club."

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 10:59:57
Quotes saying aquilani coming back , just seems very strange why we would still be pressing Adam, I mean adam, Gerrard, Lucas, Aquilani, Meirell, then youth - hender, spearing, shelvey.... thats least 8 midfielders... I know Raul talks ongoing but still 7 .....

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 10:56:44
i dont think we should be buying Adam or Downing as we dont need more Centre Mids and if Downing proves to be a bad buy he would be 27 or 28 and would be hard to swll him on for what we payed for him. Instead i would go for Payet, N'zogbia and Wickham. Keep up the good work eds.

Comolli was Frank Arnesen s successor as Director of Football at Spurs.
His time there was controversial, as Martin Jol claimed Comolli had signed players over his head and when Jol s successor, Juande Ramos, led the team to the bottom of the table at the beginning of the 2008-09 season, Comolli and Ramos were sacked.
Then it was back to Saint Etienne before his friendship with baseball coach Billy Beane brought him to the attention of John Henry!

In response to this:

I've said it enough times, and got shot down for it, but we are about to sign Edinson Cavani from Napoli. Dont doubt this is gonna happen, cos believe me, it is! I work alongside well known figures in the British media, and this transfer has been confirmed by one of them. Reason being, my man is close with a director at Chelsea, and said Director is not happy that Chelsea were not informed of Cavani's availability. My colleagues are amazed that Napoli have agreed to the deal, after only recently signing the player in a pre-arranged deal from Palermo.

Can all posters who ridicule this statement post their names clearly, so I know who to sneer at, when this move hits the news in a couple of weeks.

--------------
Peter Darby

all due respect, but I think you might be wrong. How would some guy at Chelsea or the British media know 100% about a secret international transfer target? Plus there is plenty of interest in Cavani as he is an extremely promising player. Napoli would make any transfer this year extremely difficult!
However, the real reason about my response is this. If you are wrong I get to sneer at you and if you are right then Liverpool have signed a world-class player and o don't need to worry that kk and damien commolli are just buying overpriced shash. Pete Darby

Never posted on this site before. I have One question being a lifelong Liverpool fan. Am I the only One who thinks that we need a decent centre half? How many goals did we concide from corners and headers last season? Answer = Too f---ing manty. {Ed009's Note - I think it is a position that the board will be looking to strengthen and if a good player who Kenny is interested in becomes available, we will likely buy them}.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 10:07:49
This is the fourth time I've tried to post and none have gone through. Anyway I was just wondering Eds what do you think the chances of us getting Diego he is a class player and I would prefer him to Adam

Thanks {Ed009's Note - I think that Diego - whilst talented - would be an incredibly risky purchase for the club, and what's more I see him as a more likely signing for United or Spurs. Tottenham have definitely enquired.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 09:53:14
Eds do downing and Adam fit in with fsg transfer guidelines. I think that that are too old and with Adam they lack quality, are we just buying him for his left leg, because that is all he has. I dont want to see him in a reds shirt and I'm glad oysten doesnt want to talk as he is not good enough, maybe for a mid table team but why dont we go for the best we have the money so that shouldn't be a problem and in the case of mata Europe isn't everything
Could be a very disappointing summer this year as in the case of the last {Ed002's Note - If the club are actively trying to buy the players then the obviously fit the criteria applied.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 09:47:25
hey ed,
what number of players coming in this summer u reckon?
with all these reports linking us to players in different positions im counting almost 8 or 9 players!
a center back
two central midfielders (henderson is one )
2 or 3 wingers
a striker
a defensive midfielder
a backup keeper
a left back
am i right?
thanx {Ed009's Note - I'd say to expect less than that. We will almost certainly (unless we fail with all our targets) buy two wingers, another centre mid, a left back and a back up keeper. On top of that its relatively likely we'll sign a centre back and a young striker. I don't think we should expect Henderson, another cm and a cdm though.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 09:46:52
Think it's needless to say that oysten is holding out for highest price to line his own pockets. All Blackpool fans know this and know they won't see any Charlie Adam money. Simply a public exercise on his part to make it look like he is trying to make more money for the club. In any case most people here in Blackpool fully expect him to move pretty soon. A question for the eds, is it feasible we could have struck any deals with foreign targets that will be unveiled July 1st without the press getting hold of any details? Probably just wishful thinking.
Thanks greggers. {Ed009's Note - its unlikely in this day and age, but it is definitely possible provided the club dealt with are as secretive as us.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 09:46:11
HOw cum man u are after all our targets it seems pipped us to jones an young also linked with adam an no they contacted izzigiuire who we apparently have been keeping close eye! It starting to pi** me off if he does managed to pip all our targets with more money, SKURKS

From past news we know that comolli wants to control, everything and from this we can see that he maynbe a prick, but what did you want him to do offer pathetic amounts of money ie 12mil for suarez and then lose out or just pay the fee??
Remember it is not your money so who gives a crap and andy Carroll may prove to be worth every million of his fee

Murning eds, is diego a free agent cuz im sure wolfsberg released him, so if so i fink if kenny can keep him behaved then it cud turn out to b a cracking bit of buisness! Cheers eds {Ed009's Note - they didn't release him yet, just gave the player a hefty fine, and emphasised their wish to get rid of him. He is up for sale, but I think United or Spurs are more likely destinations for the player.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 09:26:53
I read all these comments re negativity between KK and DC. Firstly, as none of us work with either of them this is just speculation and secondly how many people have left previous jobs where someone they worked with didn't like them.

I think we need to trust FSG in the way they run the club, they are winners and I am sure thye would sort out any issue which would undermine their overall plans.

Our club is in great shape since evicted Lone Range and Tonto and we are in a position to push forward. I think we will make some decent signings for the new season, let's be positive and look forward to a great season.

not sure what your view is ed but rumour in the paper is that are neighbours tranmere have had an offer for there highly rated 17 year old striker dale jennings from bayern munich , think he scored 6 goals in about 30 odd games last season which is a good return for somebody so young.
is this not the sort of player kenny wants and is he any good . {Ed002's Note - Bayern Munich have had a long term interest in the kid. Liverpool cannot simply buy every player available.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 09:06:14
Signings this summer, I believe could be:
Adam - 10mil
Clichy - 6mil
Mata - 22mil

Wickham - 10mil

For the People, who doubts the Chances of Liverpool qualifying for Champions League,
Liverpool actually finished 6th place, which is a place higher than last term, even after the Worst league start in 50 years, despite losing the likes of Judas and Mascherano. But, we had two excellent additions to our Squad in Suarez. We had excellent Second half of the Season even without the Most influencial player Steven Gerrard. The Team is full of Confidence and Buzzing. Remember the Destruction of Manchester City. We have been beaten all the Top sides in Premier League. We will have excellent Additions in our Squad. Fitter than Ever Steven Gerrard will be Returning and Who knows will be winning the League next term.
For Eds, Please post Some rumours by yourself as i think you may have some Inside info better than Us.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 08:46:38
What are the chances of signing : Diego, Mata, Alonso and Cazorla.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 08:37:43
Couple of things - Whats the general view of the signing of Henderson? If I am honest, he is a player I have never really noticed (therefore not rated) and, from what I saw during his games for the England Under 21's, he is far from the finished article - Gave the ball away far too much for my liking!
Appreciate he is still young, but he has cost an awful lot of money (£16-20m) and, if you look at what Manure got Young for (established full International), is he value for money ?

Also, am I the only one who feels Adam is not good enough?? Just think for the little more, we could get so much more flair - We should be sniffing around the likes of Nasri, Modric etc.

As for transfer rumours - All I have heard is that there is some serious interest in Shawcross - KK and co were reluctant to make a move, knowing Manure had first refusal (and could therefore sneak in last minute) but the belief is that, with them signing Jones, the door is open.

Wickham Bench striker

2011/2012 potnetial team

renia
Johnson Carragher Agger Clichy

Gerrard Lucas/Aquilani/Merieles/Henderson
Kuyt Downing

Suarez
Carroll




other squad members:
Doni/julio sergio/ b. jones
Sketel

Flanagan
Wilson (may be loaned)
robinson
spearing
shelvey (may be loaned)
wickham
pacheo (loaned to norwich for pl experience)
maxi
suso/sterling
coady

I'm always a reader and never a poster...however this time i'm gonna post...i'm reminded by the saying seperate the wants from the needs...This is i think what KK is going for...sure we all want Aguero, Marin, Hazard, Sanchez and so on....but is that what we need now...we need stability, well oiled machine and a winning mentality...not overpriced egos.

What we need is two gifted wingers preferably pacy and tricky but final ball is just as important...a replacement wingers which could even be there in our academy eg Sterling...a LB with a cross and the obvious defending abilities...Back up ST; some1 whom is young with ability. I think henderson will prove a bit of good business as we always lacked a gerrard back up.

So let us curb this wish-list thing thats going on and be happy and support those Mr Daglish brings in.

By the way...i am a fan of this site...keep up the good work.

My rumuors goes as to what i see and make out to be..could be well out and could be extremely happy but i will as well be glad to see an upgrade of
1. Downing or Nzogbia
2. Jeffren
3. right winger...dont know yet... i hope this could be our marqee signing as kuyt on the right kills me...i prefer seeing him upfront with suarez
4. wickham
5. not sure on lb..we've been linked with so many...cissokho would be my bet although gibbs or baines would not be bad either

For nxt season LFCA need to cover evry position...
Lucas...got no cover..maybe buy gago
c.adam...we got henderson..

downing...got kuyt..
mata maybe later sign...got maxi
suarez.carroll....none..sign wickham..roux

we will be a great squad again...

Mr T, Rampage Jackson already took your job off ya for the A-Team film mate.You'll know that he also trains at the Wolfslair gym which i'm pretty sure its in or close to Liverpool.Better keep ya head down for a bit before he turns up howling on your front door ha ha. The Pride Wanderlei Silva is coming back for this fight.A win for Silva with 18 knees to the face to break his record of 17 to the face of Rampage Jackson's in Pride. If you've never seen it, you tube it, unreal mate.Better quit while were ahead lol. On a more serious note. I hope that the Adam and Downing deals go through asap. K.K and D.C can then pursue our other targets a lot more robustely then we are now. Once these are tied up, even the my glass is fully empty brigade must be starting to get a bit more optimistic. We aint City, we aint Chelsea but at least were not skint anymore. Just look back a year to wear we are now ! If that doesn't cheer you up, well your up s**t creak without a paddle because nothing will. Jonson6

Lovin all the mma chat on here. I know it's not why we are here but it makes a refreshing change from all the negativity. Me I think chris leben might suprise a few people but what do I know. I can't wait for Cain an jds. But back to the reds...please can people be patient. Any one who has ever been to a game knows what a difference the crowd makes. If were all negative then what hope av we got? Remember the united game a few years ago, no gerrard, no Torres an a goal down early on. The crowd got behind the team an we out fought them an out played them. That reflects everything we do as a club. That's what we need now players who want to fight for this shirt. Whether were Liverpool fans cos of the success weve had in the past or cos were born an bred we all need to be behind kenny an his decisions an know that whoever he buys wants to be here at the best club in the world (not best team, best club). I'm sick of all this quickfire frustration on here. We need to be quicker in the transfer market like the other big clubs blah blah blah. No one apart from the mancs av bought anyone so chill ur beans an get behind the club. We all want big names but id rather av a team of fighters who are as proud of playin for Liverpool as I am of supporting them. Sorry for the rant. Iv got a few things of me chest. Got no rumours but I read every day and comment were needs be an just thought I'd have my piece.

Manutd to snub Charlie Adam from us, apprently Fergie offered £12 mil for Adam after seeing him perform at Old Trafford at the end of the season

-----

Charlie Adam's performances at the end of the season question why Liverpool are interested at all!!

So, stop making up stuff!

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 01:47:56
From a reliable source, Charlie Adam bid is not acceptable according to Blackpool and he will instead join Aston Villa to replace the departed Ashley Young
----------------------------------------
so villa are replacing a winger/striker with a CM your source isn't that reliable
----------------------------------------------
To be fair it is villa we are takin about

Ye i've come across this Whitty character before on an Mma sight, no s**t, he said he supported Blackburn Rovers and his favourite player was Mike Newell if its the same guy he used to wind folk up on them .So if you are the Whitty from Accrington how come you've jumped ship lad.Another keyboard warrior sat behind your PC talking smack.Sorry if its wrong one but doubt it.

I just love the way people here say move (a) is actually a smokescreen for player (b). Does anyone really believe this is the case? It's not a game of chess we are involved in. Please stop posting these rumours. I would rather hear rumours that originate from the cleaners cat!!!

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 01:18:09
As if Stewart Downing would be worth more than ashley Young.
Alonso rumours are most like false as much as we'd all love him back in a red shirt he figures into Jose's future plans.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 01:11:29
Those who are saying that David Villa might be coming, he rubbished rumors linking him with Manchester City stating that he wanted to retire at Nou Camp!
(Caught OFFSIDE)

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 01:08:34
Juat read that Diego has been ordered to find new club, and then rumour that were interested, do we really want a whinging bitch like him at the club, no player is bigger than any club, and he walked out of team hotel due to being dropped from wolfsburg team,

na not for me, and i doubt kenny will take that,

hope this boring chase of downing and adam end soon, either buy them or move on,

after the second half he had last season, Daniel Sturridge would be great addition,

Reina
Kelly
Agger
Zapata/Skrtl/Carra
Clichy
lucas/adam/mereiles
gerrard
mata/downing
suarez
carroll
sturridge = title or champions league at arsenal's expense

Hiya Eds, I know we've been linked with Mata (along with every pro footie player out there), but can u give me more info about him cox I have question marks about him. I know he is a world class player who can player on the flanks and behind the striker etc. I'm not sure he is the answer to our wide problem. I admit I've only seen him play a few times during the u-21 and he has been world class n looks value for money. But I've not seen him dribble the ball pass anyone. He normally does v good one twos and seems to pass and move excellently but I thought we were after a dribber (something we haven't had since macca and seriously miss) as in some games when ur playing against. Tight defence u need someone who has the can just take someone on. Maybe I've just not seen him play enough. Don't get me wrong I want us to sign him but I still think we need a dribber.
Ed please tell me that Mata is a proper winger like "Nani".
PlusMarcus (I'll understand if this is not posted as this is now my 4th post & to date nothing has ever been put on the site). {Ed001's Note - if you are asking questions you might find the answers are posted on different pages mate. Anyway Nani is not a proper winger either, he always looks to cut inside and shoot, there is nothing else on his mind 99% of the time. A proper winger looks to get to the byline and cross, Mata is neither of those. He is a tidy, creative attacking midfielder, short, sharp pass and move kind of player. He does have the ability to get past a man, but it is not something he looks to do that often. That is why I see Downing being signed for the left and Mata for the centre.}

I was driving in my van on the way out of Poulton le Fylde next to Blackpool when i started following a red Ferrari with a private plate. the plate had a two figure number followed by the initials DC. Does anyone know if Damien Comolli has a ferrari or whether hes in the area regarding the Adam transfer?


I posted a pic on here

mrs ngog {Ed001's Note - is that what it is! I was trying to figure out why it was sent in.}

Poulton is not next to blackpool, Bispam is. I live in thorton Cleveleys.

Ed's don't you think it would be better to sign moussa sissoko rather than adam, i know hes different to adam but would be amazing in my opinion. {Ed001's Note - I don't see why we couldn't move for both, that way Sissoko can acclimatise properly to the league next season.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 01:03:47
Come on Now. Do you lot seriously think your in wid a shout of winning the league next season. Obviously utd will be champions again. Followed by Chelsea and City not sure which way round. That leaves The Arsenal and Liverpoo scrappin it out for that 4th place. We all know what the only ship is never to dock on merseyside and it ain't gonna be dockin any time soon. Ha ha. Champions league if yer lucky. Ha. Whitty

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 01:03:24
Not being funny but Roma have been linked with more players than us. So I'm not being disbelieved by people saying "we'll have to beat of interest from Roma..." What do they have to offer that we don't? Nothing.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 01:00:18
Just a quick word on the raul situation.
Let's be honest, if someone offered us £13.5 million in January for him I would think the majority of us would have taken it. Now I'm not saying he's no good, I just think he's too lightweight for the league. Plus its a nice little profit made on a player with not too many years left.

He gave us many great moments and was a key player towards the end of last season, and for that I'd keep him providing there were no offers. But in this case there are and I think LFC would be making a wise decition if they took that amount now.

Not the most reliable but on the Liverpool F.C wikipidea under current squad Jeffren is listed as a Liverpool player - Does this mean anything Eds?
GT {Ed001's Note - it means someone has been messing about, wiki is less reliable than any tabloid.}

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 00:49:34
Ye seems like your into mma mate.Ye Cain and Dos Santos for centre half, teams wouldn't want to get into our half never mind our box , i hope thats how the fight with the axe murderer goes down a living legend. It does have some relavance ed, the co commentator Joe Rogan is forever telling us how good Brazilians are at leg kicks because the've played soccer most of their life.He reckons that their footwork and mobility is also helped by playing soccer and if you've seen a leg kick off Jose Aldo you'd might agree with him.I do.Anyway last of the mma talk ed Jonson6 PS Your a Munster man like myself as well mate, top man lol

If the Downing and Adam rumour is true, then that would bring our spending under our new owners, to well over 100 mill.

Carroll (35 mill)
Luis (23 mill)
Downing and Adam (24 mil?)
Henderson (16 mill)

I know we had 57 mill from the Torres and Babel sales. But FSG didn't waste no time in reinvesting, that money back in to the squad (Carroll). We havn't even sold any players this summer yet, but still we are trying hard to get our targets. Were any other window, we were having to sell to buy.

And the best part is, that i don't think the spending is over. I still think that we will sign at least 1 25-30 mill signing, but i havn't got a clue who that could be.

Blair Mayne YNWA

Ps. The most exciting transfer window ever IMO, and we're not even in July yet. Thanks FSG.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 00:45:51
For last 6 weeks many people were talking about Liverpool signing Mata-obviusly that was BS talk because Mata plays for Valencia wich is playing CL next season+ Liverpool can not match his salary demands. So, even if Mata leaves Valencia it will be for Man.City or Chelsea.
Downing might come to Liverpool, most probably N'Zogbia but I would like to know who is going to RW or RM?

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 00:44:31
Talksport writers a bit of a c**t ain't he writing 'the italian flop has been a disaster at anfield', in aqua's defence i actualy liked him and want him to play for us next season, he's got the potential to do well, give him a few month with kenny. Anyway he was not that bad was he?

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 00:39:56
heard from a reliable source that Liverpool will make a bid for Wolfsburg star Diego, by the end of the week YNWA
GIBBZEE {Ed001's Note - bid to who? He was sacked by Wolfsburg.}

you sure Eds. my understanding is he is still a wolfsburg player, and they have agreed to sell him as it suits all party's that he left as soon as possible


He is still a Wolfsburg player at present, he has not been sacked.

Phill

Diego has not been sacked, he wants to leave Wolfsburg. Thank someone at LFC has brains to for the right player.

 

 

 

 

25 Jun 2011 00:36:32
Alonso been seen in Southport eating dinner with Stevie G. Will sign for £15 million plus Agger. Miereles to sign for Juve and Aquilani to leave for 10 million euros

And who is going to play? Miereles was the best player in Liverpool squad in last 15 games previous season.

Why are people talking about MMA? :S

To the poster who asked me about MMA etc.
I answered your questions as best i could but it was put on the rumour page for one reason or another?!
Cheers,

about the diego-stuff from a fan in germany: he was sacked. maybe not officially, but the magath himself doesn't want him anymore. so it's over for him. magath-- ferguson of germany. nuts

-----
i'd sign him with a clause in his contract that is strict on conduct.! he's good all it takes is someone to stand infront of him and say if your going to have sissy fits and walk out and go to brazil or whever then know you might aswel not come back. i think he's worth a gamble.

Ed009 if poss.Do you think Liverpool or more so K.K want Merieles gone so thats the start of getting rid of any player with Kodge's fingerprint on them? Like Joe Cole and Paul Konchesky, who Liverpool are also looking to move on.Any thoughts because i can understand Cole and Konchesky but very suprised about Raul who i thought got better as the season went on. By all accounts he's only and i say only because he's a Prem footballes on 30k a week. Jonson6 {Ed009's Note - I think the management staff are looking at moving on Raul, provided a good offer comes in. Whilst the Hodgson issue may be a factor, it is more likely that his age and physical lack of suitability with the Premier League are more prominent reasons. It is also important to note that he is searching for a new contract - one which the owners might think he isn't worth.}
