Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

27 Jun 2011 23:32:48
why do people seem to be moaning that transfers are getting finalised yet. i cant remember any transfer window were all the transfers were done so early so why do people think that this window is going to be any different

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 23:28:23
Just got the inside scoop from my source at Anfield, we will make a 25m bid for Mata by Wednesday. P.S This is Andy Carroll money so in reality this sum will be 72m

Just to confirm that Charlie Adam will have his 26th medical at Melwood tomorrow and Stewart Downing will put in his 18th transfer request. Also Xabi Alonso will be seen somewhere round Liverpool by someone 'in the know' and the Anfield hierachy will put bids in for every single player in the world including the players that are actually contracted to us in the first place.
Alternatively, not much will happen until July, when Lfc will probably tie up most if not all deals they intend to do with maybe the exception of the usual transfer deadline day signing at the last minute.

Do we have any interest in aguero or falcao they are both great forwards.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 23:13:05
Just a quick message to the fellow fans. Liverpool aren't the club they were 20 years ago. We are NOT going to sign Aguero, Pastore, Hazard, Nasri etc. KK knows exactly what he is doing and he will secure a Champions League spot for next season. The club is undergoing a rebuilding process, so please understand and stop dreaming. P.s Eds your doing great. Keep it up RedinBed

Sunderland have had a £13m fee accepted for Connor Wickham.

Sydney!

Hi Eds, just thinking of some left backs that we could move for but one stands out a mile. Aly Cissokho. young, strong, great potential and fast. Liverpool could sign him for 18-25 million but would have to hold off competition from Man City. watya think eds? {Ed001's Note - I just think it is unlikely now City have made a move for him, he jumps from club to club far too much to be considered anything other than a mercenary.}

From the main page:

27 Jun 2011 22:32:57
Brad Jones going to Blackpool as part of the Charlie Adam deal.
Also Blackpool asked about availability of Robbie Blake from Bolton.
Info sourced from local journalist. {Ed003's Note - Jones was granted a free transfer several weeks back now for family reasons}

Is it true that he has been granted a free transfer? His kid has been pretty sick hasn't he, but I haven't seen anyone, or any editor, elude to his free transfer status on the Liverpool pages. {Ed001's Note - you are misunderstanding the free transfer thing, he has not been released, he has been told that we will not require a fee for him if he leaves.}

I would like ppl to re think their negativity will Raul Meireles maybe departing this summer. I think that would be gr8 business by the club getting 13 mill plus for a player who had a good 6 match goalscoring run but apart from tht didn't really impress consistent enough at the standard we require to challenge the top four. Put that into context if we were to also sell aqualani, ngog, poulsen, konchesky, cole, el zar and get 35 mill plus which I think on current market valuation on players is a fair assumption I think. Plus their combined wages of 350k plus. I know u might think that 350k sounds stupidly high but cole and jova will be on around 160k just between them I think KK and the club will have worked wonders to ship these in my opinion mid table players. As also if we were to sign Adam and Downing who would cost a maximum of 30 mill and considering they both were in my opinion their clubs best players last season with combined assists of 18 and combined goals of 20 for the season, what is every worrying about?. Have faith KK he will bring back the glory days

Charlie Adam has hinted he could be joining Man Utd after all he does support them. I for one do not want him.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 22:26:42
twitter says liverpool r to meet with juan mata father to talk about a posible move liverpool for his son

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 22:24:38
hey ed great site, , must say there is alot of s..t been posted here today, , , i know camolli is the man behind the signings but ni=ot without kk's say, , , , just wondering how any deals can be done when kk's on a ten day holiday at the moment not due back til saturday {Ed009's Note - I'm sure he will have outlined the signings he wants to make and informed Comolli of what he believes to be fair prices etc, but I do think that deals will potentially move slower without him.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 22:24:34
Liverpool are not after Mata.The number one option for KK is Downing. Here are the main reasons;

1)Whilst Mata is a quality player he is not the type of player we need. Kenny wants a player that will hug the touchline and has the ability to swing the ball in and Downing fits the bill

2)When Mata gets the ball he is always coming inside and that will not fit our style of play

3)We cannot afford risks which is what Mata is. Small and slight who know how he would react in the premier league

Sorry fellow reds just don't want you building your hopes up

I also think Liverpool will go for Sissoko as they will be playing a variety of systems.

27 Jun 2011 22:08:33
Hi ed please post this mate, ive just heard from a reliable source that a bid had been accepted for adam. It involves 6.9 mil and shelvey. Also the signing of Downing will not happen as villa or liverpool will not budge on there value of the player. Mata also will not be coming to anfield as a bid from arsenal has been accepted. We have turned interest in pato from milan which will go public in the next week. Also turan deal might happen as he does not want to go to chelsea and KK admires how much he would like to play for us. And the aaron lennon rumour is true but nothing has come on yet. Also there will be a big signing this window so watch ths space


I love these so called "reliable sources". What utter nonsense you type, go back to your Fifa

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 22:06:59
Liverpool will never sign hazard

You have no CL football and he has said his prefered club in england is Arsenal

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 22:06:20
my rumour is that if charlie adam and downing dont sign tomorrow we will see more people claiming to be in the know claiming a deal will be done by thursday FACT... then friday for FACT and so on. well i guess you guys will be right eventually if they sign and you can come back and claim you broke the news.
This is one rumour that will come true for a FACT
K-man (ITK) lol

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 21:50:35
who said we will be getting a marquee signing? i carnt remember seeing this anywere, and in my opinion if we signed mata that would be a brilliant signing an that would be are 'marquee' signing, do you agree eds? or do you think they have got something else up there sleeves

27 Jun 2011 21:48:04
Ed do you know who has final say on transfers kk or dc? And do you think we have a lot of money to spend? Thanks again {Ed002's Note - I am not going to try and explain the transfer process yet again, but I am sure the owners will support the strengthening of the squad within reason.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 21:46:53
"27 Jun 2011 20:33:49
Why r we going for adam and downing when we should be going for jeffren and tiago from barca. Cheaper younger options and surely more creative and tecnical players." QUOTE

I despair at posts such as this. Why should we go for Jeffren and Tiago? Please give any reason, let alone give 4 or 5.

I'll tell you why you prefer two players you have hardy seen over two EPL expereinced players. They're foreign and therefore have some sort of magical power over British players.

We've signed the likes of these players before in Mark Gonzalez (sp). Came in as a £4M wonder kid and left as 'yet another Rafa failure, why does he buy cheap foreign carp instead of British players?'

Dalglish, whilst having owners who will back him is still working against the clock. You can bet your bottom dollar that these owners are demanding with high targets and expectations and rightly so and whilst they may have a policy of buying young, they want results ASAP.

Therefore i do not believe for one minute Dalglish has the time to sit and wait for this squad to mature. He'll have a double target of building for the future and producing now.

A tough ask. But Dalglish went into this job with his eyes wide open. He is in a very uncomfortable lose-lose situation. He could have sat back and kept his legend status but he chose to put all that at risk.

Do not think for one single moment that Dalglish will bring players in that he does not think will be improving this squad to get what everyone wants. Trophies.

Dalglish knows this game back to front. He knows what it needs, what it takes to get this club back into the fold of winning on a regular basis. Buying carp players will get him in front of 1.85M people in the dole queue pretty damn quick.

So if he thinks Downing and Adam are what we need, then the question you should be asking yourself is 'why can i not see what he looking at doing?'

Perhaps if you wasted your time trying to second guess how we are going to play this season, it may fill your life with a bit more relevant knowledge than fanciful, bloody johnny foreigners who would actually resemble a frightened 5 year old child suddenly let loose in a nursery without his mummy by their side.

Ask yourself questions like 'if we are playing Stoke away, who would fit our play better Downing or Jeffren? Sunderland away on a cold, freezing December Downing or Jeffren?

I could go on for another 36 examples. I'm not particularly a Downing fan as such but i'm open minded enough to know he has enough quality to be a very good player with better players on a bigger stage.

That is the only doubt. Not much of a gamble really though. The price is irrelevant, so don't get hung up on how much we pay.

He's a grafter. He has a quality left foot. It seems to me with the buys of Adam and Downing, Dalglish is improving our ball distribution. All we need is a big, imposing centre forward to feed on better and more accurate balls into him.

I wonder who Dalglish has in mind?

27 Jun 2011 21:46:46
IMO we need :
1. Left Back
1. Center Back
3. Wingers
1. Foward

if thats what kenny was looking for which players are most likely ed ? {Ed002's Note - I could not possibly say, sorry.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 21:45:37
ed i'm starting to worry, any player we seem to be linked with we don't seem to be getting as for the spam when they go after a player they get fast sad {Ed002's Note - Some sort of darstedly cospiracy I would guess.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 21:43:32
My uncles a chef in italy and its a quality restaurant where footballers dine in milan and he spoke to cassano apparently he said that liverpool are interested in pato and there is going to be an official enquiery next week. watch this space. pato to liverpool

My Auntie has a friend who is a chef in a restaurant in Aarhus in Denmark and he told her there was a Scots Gentleman in on Saturday night saying there was a lot of Sh**E on the Liverpool Rumours site

Hi ed, what did you mean by this response?


27 Jun 2011 15:37:21 {Ed001's Note - there is no latest, he is still waiting to be given the call to go for a medical, but it is more hope than expectation he has now.}

You know something we don't ?

Great work by all the Eds

Heard KK really wants to bring in Diego for a little over £8million, its a bargain fee but it also brings a risk given his temperment, KK has been told he can only bring Diego in if he manages to lose Joe Cole and Milan Jovanovic's wages from the bill as Diego is a big earner himself, KK willing to let both players to leave on a free to get them off the wage bill.....

If he signs i expect him to play ahead of Lucas and Gerrard in a 4-3-3 with Suarez and Downing playing off Carroll but not as wingers as the width will be provided by the fullbacks, thats why downing is being signed for the right sided attacking player as he can cut in giving Johnson/Kelly space to overlap

27 Jun 2011 21:33:40
i think we should get david nugent just as a back up

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 21:17:59

MICHAEL DAWSON?? REMEMBER WHO BROKE THE NEWS FIRST

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 21:14:50
Ed read a story somewhere that made sence to me.That with the signings weve got so far and adam and downing looking near done deals.If rafa was in charge the fans would be in up roar have you heard any posts along the same lines. CASTER TROY {Ed002's Note - This is the first such post I have seen. Dalglish has the benefit of the doubt right now, and quite rightly so.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 21:13:03
By god, when did everyone become so glum and miserable. All I hear is he's not good enough, Why dont we sign him instead..... We haven't even signed anyone (but Jordan) and people are already angry at the club for even being linked various players.

Adam and Dowing both played brilliant last season. Adam was one of the top goalscorers in the season despite playing for the worst (technicaly) team and being a CM and scored against teams like Liverpool and United playing for Blackpool. Downing is a player that despite his past has become reliable and is one of the few wingers that are can cross while still having pace (if not lightning) and the abillity to score.

aremenmber all thoughs great players that we signed in the "Houlier" years Diao, Diouf, Le Tallec, Baros all were meant to be the new gerrard or Pele or something and everyone was so glad when they turned up but some players just can't hack it in the premier league.

Support what the club and Dalglish decide and IF the players that we have signed dont perform, then you atack them but please give them a chance. -Mc (soz for length got blog rage)

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 21:10:45
Hey eds, great job on the site. Just a thought, with the website been so popular have you thought of bringing an app out for iPhone and android? You've prob already thought of it but I think it would be a great idea. Keep up the good work.
Lee {Ed002's Note - Perhaps in the future.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 21:09:21
Ed, do you think that there will be a major announcement from the club about signings as in 2-3 players being signed on the 1 day. Obviously Keeny and DC are working hard at bringing in players but it is so quiet apart from the rumours I'm starting to get a little worried

SaggartBhoy {Ed002's Note - There will be a statement as and when someone signs. They could hold back on a press conference to introduce a couple at the same time though. Try and have patience.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 21:07:45
hi eds just want to say great sight and very addictive.
i would like to know peoples views on the new signing Henderson as i watch him play in the u21's and thought he was the weak link, could'nt pass to save his life.but friends of mine tells me he's a good quality youngster whith a lot of prospect.also do you think we will have a major signing and if so who.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:55:36
Ed any info on Lavezzi and Elia? Any truth in any interest or offers what so ever? Both would be great signings in my opinion.

Also I think Sissoko will go to Lyon as they seem to be in advanced negotiation already.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:50:27
hi ed's ive spent the last 6 days at glastonbury so have had withdrawl symptoms from the site ive read loads of rumours since i got back today, am i right in thinking nothing has progressed regarding our transfers? and are there any new targets? also i was talking to five lads who are all arsenal fans and all seem to think we are in advanced talks over clichy but more suprisingly early stages of negotiations over theo walcott? do you know anything on either?? cheers ed's YNWA Lee (please post in rumours) {Ed002's Note - Lee, you will need to read the posts I am afraid - we don't have the time to summarise the past week for you.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:48:55
hi eds gret site mate.Do you think if we get adam it will be good for shevley to get more experience.do you think it will benifit him.Apart from adam and downing who do you think we have a good chance of getting thanks. {Ed002's Note - Any experience is good experience.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:46:44
If mata goes to arsenal, i think we will sign santi cazorla, way worth the £20 million that we will pay for downing

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:45:15
Be very lucky to get in europe this season. Suarez cjass But other than him strikers are sh#te donkey caroll not worth 10million.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:44:52
Why does'nt everybody just stop posting complete tosh about players signing. All I have been reading over the last few weeks is "Adam will sign by the end of the week, Adam is having a medical today, Downing to sign by the end of the week" Its all a joke and the fact is nobody apart from KK and DC know who is coming in and when and I think we should all just wait until it shows on SSN or LFC Website.

27 Jun 2011 20:39:12
Hi Ed

Just out of interest, Doni apparently did not join us because of a carp wage being offered to him and Marveaux was according to some reports offererd more money by Newcastle and turned us down.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:18:17
Hi great site at this time of year especially. Any idea on the future of Daniel Agger? I read that we may be looking to sell him due to his injury record? {Ed001's Note - as far as I know we are not looking to sell him, but he will be allowed to leave if a decent bid is received.}

Ed do u think Agger wants to leave? I think no, but maybe u know better. If a decent bid comes in, Agger has to agree to leave too is it? or the club can choose to sell him? {Ed002's Note - I would guess not.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:33:49
Why r we going for adam and downing when we should be going for jeffren and tiago from barca. Cheaper younger options and surely more creative and tecnical players.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:29:38
Sorry as i do not want to appear negative there is enough of that lately on this site however it would appear alot of fans will be distraught if we dont sign mata as the marquee signing. I agree i think he would be my number one target. However if i remember not so long ago we had a long period of rumour about another spanish player who was going to sign for LFC because he was mates with reina and there were spanish speakers at the club, he was Silva he ended up at man city because they could offer more money he wasnt worried that his mates were not there and knowone spoke spanish, at the end of the day he smelt the money, the same will happen with mata. If that happens we dont want a player motivated by money we want a team of hardworking players who want to embrace the liverpool way and history, the model of this is SUAREZ, what a signing and what a fantastic hardworking footballer, please sign more suarez, s

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:23:53
Mata will sign, we have shown him how much we want him, pepe has kept him in touch with the fans excitement and prospect of him signing. signing for LFC would give him a guaranteed starting place in the team and everything to gain form helping LFC become successful again. the other interested teams would not guarantee a starting place, also he would have a number of spanish speakers at anfield. This really would put a stop to alot of nonesence been posted about taking our time doing transfers.
mark my words Mata, Adam, Clichy and Downing all in within next 2 weeks.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:21:04
Hi eds love the site .We should not worry about utd gettin young ahead of us i seem to remember a certain Karl Po barsky headin there after euro 96 who was our target so we went for paddy Berger and we know how that turned out .We prob need the like of Adam downing to help us top 4 and next year build again and get rid of the deadwood that will pile up over this season because it will EG players we bring in not makin it and other fellas slippin back .

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:20:07
Liverpool will sign juan mata within a week of the international transfer window opening. The fee is around £21M. This all comes afte he said liverpool wa his prefered destination.

RedManLythgoe

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:08:46
KK and DC better start buying players cause at the end we'll end up with what's left...

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:08:45
Great site ed, this isnt based on anything but gut feeling but would like your thoughts, but i think we will end up buying the following:

ADAM
DOWNING
CAHILL
ENRIQUE
WICKHAM
MATA

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 20:02:47
It's crazy how much people get slated on here I have heard many stories about who we have scouted or enquired about just because we don't sign that player does not mean we haven't looked at them or asked their club if they are for sale

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 19:59:02
From what I have heard yesterday, Liverpool and Arsenal are in deep negotiations at the moment over 3 players swapping clubs. Arsenal really need a center back and have Agger as there first priority (They tried to sign him the last 2 seasons), Liverpool really need a left back, hence all this talk of Clichey but Liverpool also want Walcott to wear our number 10 as a Owen type of forward with pace.

This is where it is all getting a bit complicated as Agger is injury prone so a fee is being haggled between the 2 clubs to take this into consideration but Walcott is injury prone as well so that fee is being taken into consideration on top of that you have Clichey with one year left on his contract so there is a dispute between that fee

I have heard that the whole thing is turning out to be a bit of a nightmare for all concerned BUT that all parties are willing to do business and then there is Mata who both clubs want that is also a sticking point just to add the icing on the cake.

This may have something to do with everything taking so long, has anyone heard the same? Eds can you shed any light?

Tobey
===============================
I like the world you live in Tobey .. (And I mean that with the greatest respect and envy).
But in the real world Walcott will not leave Arsenal , he is happy there and happy with London ..
Also do you really think that Arsenal will give both players for Agger? How much do you think we will get for Agger if we are to sell him?

As for our number 10, its Joe cole and unfortunately will be Joe's shirt number for next season, he is not going any where ..

Why does everybody not like Charlie Adam his free kicks and passing range are amazing

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 19:45:30
They've spent close to £60m, without strengthening their 1st team De Gea is no Van Der Sar, Jones won't get in their team unless he won't get in their team unless he plays midfield, and they have better attackers than Young. They've improved their squad, not their 1st team attackers than Young. They've attackers than Young. They've improved their squad, not their 1st team mproved their squad, not their 1st improved their squad, not their 1st tea
---------
just my opinion but I watch atletico quite a lot and de gea is an outstanding goalkeeper if we didn't have reina id want de gea.
I don't rate the other signings they've made but de gea is quality.

I just signed Nani and Hernandez on FM, does this mean we are going to sign them :O

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 19:39:31
ed's what the latest comings out on the transfer of charlie adam. ed009 told me that he had agreed a 30,000 a week deal but would would a fee and medical have to be passed before personal terms? also espn have that he will join today and so do the independent do you know of any deal going through today?
thanks {Ed002's Note - There is nothing new.}

is there a buyback clause for mikel san jose? he's boss

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 19:33:02
Honestly, can everyone simply stop moaning about transfers and saying we should get mata etc. King kenny and comolli obviously know what they are doing so get a grip

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 19:32:17
i dont know why everyone talks about july the 1st. pre contract can be agreed with players, and for clubs if they agree on a fee( i.e both clubs are happy with it) its unlikely to change anyway. players ( de gea for instance) can agree to come to a club, announce the move before july, however only on July 1st do the offical switch clubs.

If you read this site or any other LFC forums regularly you will know that the club are desperately trying to unload deadwood brought in by previous managers but no one wants them, no one will pay the silly wages they are on.Sadly you cannot just sack them and stop paying them.
Re Maxi, it depends on who we can get in.One thing for sure some thing has to happen soon.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 19:25:24
Just to put a few things straight,
Very few people on here, if any at all, know who the mighty reds will sign, so all this itk, nailed on, my friends this and my friends that is utter bs and guess work, do you really think people who read these posts believe that the king is gonna let his targets slip out to people in general conversation, give the man some credit. The king is a total football genius he's been here and done it all before, i seem to remember one summer in 87 when we felt pretty down cos a certain Mr.Rush got moved on, but from what i can recall along came 4 of the most attack minded players ive ever witnessed at this history steeped club and things went from strength to strength, plus we bought rushie back the following year and all at a profit, so my words of wisdom are these, Lets all get behind the king and let him get on and do his job, he knows his onions when it comes to spotting a player and building a title winning team and i have every faith in the man. LONG LIVE THE KING come on you redmen. JFT96.

27 Jun 2011 19:23:25
please stop complaining the facts are that we cannot sign a foreign clubs player until 1 july, downings club has just got a new manager so there was always going to be a holdup there and adam plays for blackpool who have an person to put in mildly for a chairman. The deals KK wants will get done. Can everyone now stop being negative and get excited re next season it will be fantastic.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 19:22:58
i think mata should be our main target, downing would be good also but am gutted now weve missed out on payet to lille.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 19:19:04
Seriously some people have no patience, imagine what it would be like if we hadn't signed Henderson - there would be riots

The transfer window fully opens 1st of July If Man Utd weren't spending as they are would you still not be happy with our current spend? They're spending £40m on potential, and £15m on a confidence player.

They've spent close to £60m, without strengthening their 1st team De Gea is no Van Der Sar, Jones won't get in their team unless he plays midfield, and they have better attackers than Young. They've improved their squad, not their 1st team

If they players that have been linked with our club is anything to go by, we can look forward to a fruitful transfer window. The current ownership differs from the past as we now have no idea what's going on behind the scenes - Carroll and Henderson being prime examples. Under H&G we would have known who was coming in, what flight they were catching into LJL Airport, what they ate for breakfast Downing and Adam have been heavily linked, but has a bid been placed for either player? Nobody knows, except for those who need to. This is an exciting time to be a Liverpool fan

I'm sure a lot of people would think £60m would be better spent on Mata, Downing and Henderson than DeGea, Jones and Young, I certainly do.

It's a possbility but I think we need do go 4-3-3 and bring in some wingers, it's whats been missing for a while now. Having said that, if were bringing in players such as Henderson and Adam who can play a through ball then why would we need width? Henderson and Adam who can play Henderson and Adam who can play a through ball then why would we need width? Need width if you have carroll in d team
---------
I'm convinced that we will play 433 or 451 next season, these fornations (particularly 433) are most conductive to pass and move possession football. All the teams that play this style use 433, barca, milan, bayern, holland, brazil. Using one central striker (carroll) and two wing forwards (suarez and? )

Kenby prefers a pass and move style which is why I think we will play this way.

The reason Liverpool have not bought anymore players is because they are waiting for the international window to open. Sure, we said we would only be buying mainly English players, but don't you think that if we wrere planning to this we would have kept it quiet?

We should be optimistic and confident about the transfer window and shouldn't worry. King Kenny and Comolli know what they are doing.

Does anyone know what LFC's pre-season is going to be? Is there any chance of seeing them play or train somewhere? Is it in the UK or are they going somewhere mad like California or UAE or something?

I know its great to get some good signings but I think the pre-season bonding, fitness, tactics are going to be so, so, so important this year. Maybe - the pre-season will be more important than spending millions on a few glamour signings. Its the first time KK will have to really instill the Way and his personality completely on the squad, away from just week on week grind of getting LFC back into top six.. The chance to build the whole culture that he and the owners are trying to build / re-build.

I understand the FSG model is to be the biggest investor in the very best young talent (i.e. so the project is two-three years in the making, its not about Sept 2011 its about May 2012) - mix it with loads of pride in the home of the club. This fits with the whole legend of LFC, Anfield, The Kop. Teams should be scared to death at hearing YNWA before kick off and seeing KD walk into the dugout - and the team in Red led by a rejuvinated Stevie G.

The first three months of 2010 was a flippin disaster. If KK and Clarke can get the squad into a great pre-season, then LFC can really hit Sept firing on all cylinders.

Any thoughts anyone? Where is the pre-season?

Hi Eds,
Just wondering in relation to these new rules UEFA are implementing in 2012/13 season in relation to clubs not been able to spend more than they earn. I dont know the exact in and outs of it, but I was just wondering doing you think there will a conserted effort by LFC to spend big this summer before these rules are implemented, I know any players brought in by KK will be of quality, LFC quality, and dealings will be done in a shrewd manner.

I am of the belive that FSG will continued a sustained investment. Just wondering, will we see a lot of big value transfers this summer, not just by LFC, but by all the major clubs before these new rules come in.

Some so called fans are extremley impatient about the speed of transfers going through, I am of the views Eds, that by waiting until July 1st we can obtain better value from foreign players compared to home grown talent.

What's everyones views ?

Rebel_Red {Ed002's Note - In theory the rule has kicked in but the first three years will see some latitude. Many clubs will abuse the rules for at least this year knowing that the first word against them will be a slapped wrist in a few years time. FSG will not want to spend money for the sake of it, they will expect the club to be self financing and for that European football is paramount.}

I read these pages with interest on a daily basis i dont have any sources but will offer my opinion on our likely targets

Adam- will be a quality signing will add balance to our midfield star player in a team that got relegated will only improve as a player consindering he will be playing with a higher quality of player week in week out.

Downing- again a very good signing what you would call a proper winger likes to get the white wash on his boots will offer us a extra dimension in our attacking play and ideal for big Andy Carroll. (just hope he plays left wing)

Im not sure Mata is the right player for us as good a player as he is After watching him for the u21 he looks to be a 2nd striker not a winger

Also i have read alot today about how we seem to be taking our time in the transfer market i beg to differ. Under Rafa and Woy we were still doing our buisness towards the 31st of August. I dont believe that will be the case this summer i think bar any foreign signings all the british based signings will be complete by the 7th july when we report back for preseason. The king will want all the signings to bond whilst we away in asia. (if you dont believe read his book Hes a big believer in team sprit) we just need to be patient.

Anthing to add Eds?

Great site keep up the good work

To any fans who think Gerrard is on the way down or isn't great or as good as he used to be because of his injuries age.Last season was the only season were he never made at least 30 apprences since the 2002/2003 season. He did play only 21 games last year, but lets give the guy a chance to show he's still the one of the best players in the Premier League before writing a living legend off. He's said himself that his groins are as strong in ten years and with the new arrivals are finally here, along with a few doubters writing him off as not the force of old, i think his will be hungrier for success more then ever. Lets see how he plays next season before judgeing him.He also might not have to carry us on his back next season alone like he's done for the last ten years, and come back a new and even better Steven Gerrard then we've ever seen. He's my biggest and most important signing were going to make next season no matter who we bring in.(No pun int). Steven Gerrard with go faster stripes mark II. Jonson6

not a rumour as i dont claim to be a in itk, was wondering what people think on here, especially the eds on the adam situation and more to the point oystons behavior. In my opinion oyston doesnt realise the damage he is doing to his own club. he gets players in on the undderstanding they take lower wages but are basically free to move on if they get a good offer. This adam situation will have lots of players trying to make a name for themselves thinking twice about Blackpool as they now know if they do well oyston will be a dick when they want to move on. Any thoughts guys.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 18:10:43
Ed do u think if we signed mata, downing & Adam and a decent LB we would be able to win the league? {Ed009's Note - I'd love to say yes, but I don't think we would win it next season, unless the other challengers had a season as weak as last time. We'd definitely be pushing for top four though. Thing about Gerrard, Lucas and Adam rotating in midfield, with Downing, Suarez and Mata in front of them firing balls up to Andy... urrrm I'll just get my coat.}

I think it's fair to say you are working on your targets, it's a little thing called haggling. Liverpool offer £12m for Downing, Villa want £18m, so it's highly likely that Downing will be a Liverpool player within the week for around £15m.

Liverpool want to pay no more than £8m for Adam, Blackpool want £12m for Adam, so I would imagine you will agree in £10m. I would be amazed if Adam and Downing aren't unveiled as Liverpool players by this time next week.

The hold-up is haggling, nothing else.

Right, we have been in talks with Adam since January, still had nothing confirmed The Scum have been in talks with David de Gea for a Month, and they have signed him we need to sort it out - would you agree?
GT {Ed009's Note - no, I'm sorry but I wouldn't. I can see it can look bad but we simply don't have the pulling power United have and for that reason negotiations are going to take longer. I suggest everyone waits until the end of the window to evaluate whether it has been a success. Remember Kenny does things behind closed doors more than anyone else and there could be a few surprises to come.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 17:57:22
I expect us to finalize the signings of Downing & Adam in the very near future. Then we will go after the likes of Diego, Mata & Carzola (One out of the 3)

I'm not discrediting your information though and if it is true, then perhaps there could be something in it. If its anyone, its probably going to be Adam or Downing.}

Here we go again comparing ourselves to utd and how quick they have signed players.The de gea signing was nailed on months ago so no suprises there.P.jones like j.henderson was bought for his potential so only time will tell.Ashley Young won't get a look in if nani is playing well which is likely to happen because young is an average player.So lets wait and see what the team is at the end of the transfer window then we can pass judgement.What do you think ed ?(RD.RED)

LFC will bid 30m for Baines and Rodwell this week .

Kenny dropped his interest in Scott Dann when he discovered that Rodwell will be available , he see him as future top class CB .

Kenny has great relationship with Everton and he is confident that Everton at least will listen to the offer .

I thought Rodwell was a midfielder last time i looked?
I guess he could make the switch as did Jamie Carragher did many moons ago

27 Jun 2011 17:19:52
personally, lennon would be a bad signing, especialy with the reported huge sum of 20m. he may be a speed merchant, but his crossing is awful. plus, he isn't that consistant. If KK wants to get the best out of andy carroll, he needs to get someone who can cross. Downing, is a better player than lennon, and can cross, but isn't worth the reported 20m. I dont think we will get mata, purely because other premier league clubs such as arsenel, are interested, and offer Champions leaugue. Neither will we get hazzard, or turan. Depending what players are bought at Man city, adam johnson would be a good signing, and for around 17m, he would be less than downing and lennon. as for CM, charlie Adam seems to be the most likely option, but all this nonsence about agreeing a fee is p1ss1ng me off. Also, Dann, who i am a big admirer of, is looking to be heading to stoke, along with jerome. A left back will probally be signed, but personally, i think center half is more of a problem. flaganan, johnson, , and robinson can all play LB, and have impressed under KK. As for CB, carragher is class but ageing, agger spends more time at the fisio than on the pitch, soto is sh1t, and skretal i dont rate. WE NEED A TOP CENTER HALF
p.s: gr8 job with the site, i cant stop going on it. sorry for the lenght {Ed002's Note -

Hi Eds what do you think of Giovanni Dos Santos? I know there is no talk or rumour of him joining but wouldnt he be a good addition to the squad for under 5 million? Pace, dribbling, direct. {Ed002's Note - He has failed in England already. There seems little point in conjecture about a player where we know of no interest.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 16:04:10
Great site ed. It might be just me but comolli worries me, as a club we do seem to be dragging our heels while the mancs spend big money...now I may be wrong and I hope I am but we do seem to be reluctant...I mean if we are offering 6 million for c Adam?? We are taking the p**s.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 15:59:24
Hi Eds, getting a little bit anxious now, the spam down the east lancs have now near enough signed three players and they are already ahead of us. I trust in the KING but feel again we are being too slow to act in the transfer market. We need to bridge the gap and have players ready for preseason. Is it just me or are LFC fooling me and the rest of the league and got a trump card up their sleeve? {Ed002's Note - Liverpool are doing what they can to complete deals for Adam and Downing. So everything is well in hand.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 16:45:14
hi ed
just a quick question for you( & no im not worried just curious).

ive noticed de gea(spelling) is having a medical right now, my question is why is it utd have targeted certain players & signed them up?

can you shed any light on why we havent targeted & snapped up more than we have? is it just a case that united have a better scouting/ gm system than us?

lfcscott {Ed001's Note - well De Gea's agent in waiting is erm, how shall I put this? He has a close working relationship with Ferguson, which involves the use of lots of money changing hands.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 16:44:45
Ed is ther any chance deals can be agreed already and until the club confirm no1 will know ? the reason I ask is I've just be told ( not that I believe it ) that we have agreements with sky not to break any news unless the club gives the go ahead ..... The chef kd7 YNWA JFT96 {Ed001's Note - I doubt Sky would agree any such thing, they would not want to risk it leaking elsewhere first. But there is always a chance deals can be agreed will in advance.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 16:40:09
Am I the only one who is getting wound up by how slowly lfc close deals for players.other teams just sign them instead of arguing over the odd million poundslack of respect for the fans I say

27 Jun 2011 16:21:18
Hi eds and all,

Just hoping someone can answer this question accurately...

If a player is valued at 18mil for example, and club A offer that amount but club B offer more once the first bid has been accepted and the player wants to play for club A, does the player decide to play for club A even tho their offer was less?

Just curious...

Cheers

is it true we signed conor wickham for 8 million but sent him back to ipswich on loan for a season

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 16:17:49
We need to sign Diego, Dos Santos, Marcelo, Lassana Diarra and Hazard to have any chance of a top 4 finish

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 16:16:48
Diego is techniqually (apart from mata) the best midfielder we have been linked with. Yes he may have had an attitude at wolfsburg but at bremen he seemed fine. I remember watchng bremen in the champs league and europa and he was unbelievably good with ball, producing real magic. If any one can settle him down it daglish as he is a very good man manager. I think he could fit in with a 4-2-3-1 formation:

Reina
Kelly Skrtel Agger Cissokho
Gerrard Sissokho
Suarez Diego Mata
Carroll

You telling me that dosnt look like a quality team?

27 Jun 2011 16:12:02
I have a feeling which i hope is the case, that all players that we have been publicly linked with such as downing/adam etc are second choice players behind our REAL targets which remain hidden.

Secondly people have been going on for the last 8 weeks saying that Adam is a done deal and will sign on tuesday.....oh no it's next thursday.....no i mean tomorrow by 3 o'clock and we are all let down every single time. Nobody on here as any idea what so ever and are just speaking out of their arse. Why don't you just stop clogging up the site with your repeated jarg.

Good day pips.Not that i have any inside info like most of you seem to claim its just a gutt feeling that i have been having of late, i sense a crazy bid being made by us to tottenham for their star player Gareth bale especially if Luka Modric leaves, remember this day i might sound ridicoulous but i comolli always has a trick up his sleave.And to all those people questioning the logic in spending 20 mil on hendo i say to you that you will be proven wrong by the end of next season, looking at his stats last season he was one of the most effective central midfielders in the EPL with the number of goalscoring opportunities he created, its that kind of creativity that we lacked for the most part of last season.

27 Jun 2011 15:29:55
im a red support from south africa, and the only way to win the league is that 6players from the start 11 should british born players , if u look @ man u the team that won the league , they only start with 3players from foreign countries and the rest was british players, kk knows that by having british player that can handle the weather and know the condition of the league, will win him the league, and they will honor the full duration of their contract raji brink (south africa)

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 15:19:44
Does any one else think the reason why we aren't buying many wingers but bring in more centre midfielders is because we will be playing 4-3-1-2 next season, one holding midfielder with two creative ones in the middle, with Johnson and a left back pushing on from defence, with stevie g playing behind carrol and Suarez. This would also free up kuyt for the 3rd striker role. OR, if we need to play 4-4-2 we will have the players to do it, all we need is a left sided midfielder. All I can really see is some younger squad players to come in and add depth to the squad.

Why are people hating on Charlie Adam? He scored 12 goals and created 9 assists This is more than any other midfielder in the league apart from nani who has more assists but not goals And is everyone forgetting that he did this at Blackpool? Who albeit had heart and determination did not have the higher calibre of players in their ranks such as Liverpool's So get off his back we have not even signed him yet (officially) after a good hard pre-season and a bit of weight loss I for one think he could be the answer we are all looking for

Please everyone be patient and be thankful that after the worst few years in our beloved clubs history we are finally doing things the right way in the transfer market again by only finding out about any interest in a player when the club themselves confirm it and all those rubbishing the players mentioned as targets please remember if we sign anybody in the coming weeks i.e Adam, Downing etc it will be becase KK has decided they are the people to take us forward and be proud to wear the shirt. I think all things point to Adam coming and maybe Downing but anyone else at this point is just guess work by all concerned. We have some real dead wood at the club for one reason and another which is why mentality and desire is the biggest factor in choosing our new signings and in KK we trust. I remember the best team I ever saw on a football pitch was chosen, bought and coached by the King so have faith people.

Afternoon Ed's

Not a rumour but just something thats been on my mind.I understand a lot of us are getting a bit frustrated at the lack of signings and a few have said they are getting worried..I would just like to say this..I too am a BIT frustrated but by no means worried..I think things will happen very quickly from this Friday onwards and I will only start to worry if two weeks after this Friday and we are still looking at if's, buts and maybe's...Fellow Reds..we are in good hands(KK)and i do believe that all the Ed's are keeping a good ear to the ground for us aswell.

PS..I do believe there will be a surprise signing and who's name may not have even been mentioned on here.

Hi Ed,
after River Plate have been in the news for the last few months, I started watching them on a regular basis, and I know that Lamela has been mentioned on here before, but I think that Villalva is an incredible talent, and despite being small, i think he could make it in the Prem with his speed and skills. Just wondering if Liverpool have ever looked into him?

It amazes me the number of people who think they know better than King Kenny and Comoli who's job it is to scout players. Players pulling up trees in turkey, belgium, france, holland and spain do not always settle in the premiership and leave for little resale back to their home country. Who would have picked carroll over dzecko or Torres, yet carroll was far more effective than them. Trust in Kenny he's watched more football than anyone and knows best.

You clearly forget about all the possible pitfalls of buying foreign (especially YOUNG ones) players.
1. They are often surrounded by family during the early part of their career, and it is nigh impossible to uproot their entire foundation, making it very difficult for the player to settle in a new country.
2. The often speak little of no english, making managerial requests, and midgame changes very difficult. Also affest their quality of life, and therefore performance.
3. They have never played in the english premier league. It will take time for them to adapt techincally to the game, and even then they may never be able to cope physically Remember, lots of forgein leagues have winter breaks, not here, not ever.
4. They may be cheaper, but in the long run, their resale value is also lower, and due to the above facts meaning they are never guaranteed to excell in the EPL, they do not always represent value for money.

Downing, I believe, was at least ONE of the most successful passers and crossers in the league last season, and he only had Darren fricking Bent to aim for Are you kidding? Yes is very good at something that we have no one who is good at, sticking to, and playing FROM the wing.
Adam will prove valuable. He will be a strong personality in the dressing room, and will be a great addition to the SQUAD.
Dann. As good as Skrtel, and english, and young. He will be in the England team within 2 years.

Shut up negative Nelly's.
Sit back, and have a little faith sir.

Eds, can we have a page specifically for the posters who know more about Football than Kenny & the entire Liverpool hierachy. These particular posters have studied YouTube & played football Manager extensively & are in a prime & justified position to say ... 'KK doesn't know what he's doing'

I for one agree with these posters when they say we should have Neymar/Aguereo/Sanchez/Messi/Ronaldo in our team. Why is this not happening?

I used to support Liverpool but now it makes more sense to support Manchester City who have the players that can win matches (plus they have really fast cars & nice girlfriends)

Yours sincerely

"I for one am worried"

will everyone just stop with the 'marquee' signing whinges and the why we overpaying for british talent when we should spend on foreigners this..superstar that..nonsense its not even the first of july yet for a start. and second we are better geting prem experienced players and trusting kenny to get the best out of them...remember the tail end of last season, how we played with our so called crap squad second best form in the league with creativity like downing and adam with their expereince included we will do even better. we have been a prime example of blowing quids on foreign 'stars' for years and not seen anything for it. just cos a player is on everyone's lips dont mean theyll cut it here. think veron, anderson, alvez (30 goals in eredivise and f' all for boro) diouf and diao who had blinding world cups morientes, who is class but didnt happen did it? cheyrou the new henri we are doing the right thing, chill out trust kenny, he is us and we are him we are Liverpool FC..he knows...he knows.

Liverpool to win nothing and finish outside of top 4 6/1 get on that, easy money.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 13:24:54
Why on earth is nobody talking of Giovanni Dos Santos. Spurs want less than 5 million for a 21/22 year old with bags of potential, dribbling ability and rapid pace Im sure at the right club (i.e. liverpool) this guy would excell and become one of the better players in the EPL. Please sign him

It may have something to do with Harry saying that if Santos could pass a night club as well as a football he would be a class player lol

Just after people's thoughts on the english quota of players that clubs must have. Seems to be loads more interest in English players than ever before, and i'm wondering if this would effect our business this summer? Personally i think it's too easy to spend abroad and would prefer tried and tested prem talent.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 13:12:33
{Ed002's Note - We know that an effort is being made to strike a deal - why does it matter when it happens?}

Because when its done i can start my Lampard to Liverpool rumour Ed lol P.S chelsea going to get spanked home and away by Liverpool next season.

just seen charlie adam heading towards melwood in his car with the number plate CA26 BLP it looks like he needs a new number plate.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 13:00:41
From recent years does anyone remember when high profile deals are happening always a second club becomes involved according to the press? Now I could be wrong but I believe that Arsenal have not bid for Mata I think it's all a agent hoax to speed or up the cash from another club.. There's my two cents guys

27 Jun 2011 12:32:01
According to Caught offside, these are the players that are currently on LFC radar:

Charlie Adam
Stuart Downing
Aaron Lennon
Juan Mata
Muosso Sissoko

What are the chances of these players coming to Liverpool?

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 12:31:11
If adam signs and meireles leaves, I will be very unhappy. He was really good in the later half of the season and deserves to play for us again next season.Plus we really dont any more central players gerrard, meirleles, lucas, henderson, spearing is more than enough, unless we are signing an absolute world class one who would be a garanteed starter, there is not need for another reasonable central player. What we do need are few wingers one marque signing (20m+), one reasonably priced one (12-16m) and one cheap one (4-8m). My choice would be Mata (20m+) Turan (12m-16m) and giovanni dos santos (5m) but it seems we are only gonna sign downing atm for 18m which would make him our marque signing (great).

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 12:25:42
keep hearing ppl saying mata wing wizard great on wing ...he int a winger he more a play maker behind strikers he s a great player and would nt say no but we need out and out wingers to aid andy n suarez.

just read a headline liverpool fans turn on kenny dalglish?
why do these people write in and moan, its a rumours site not a bingo hall for pensioners, just because a few school boys from nigeria and hong kong write to a website does not mean we are turning against kenny, anyone remember that quote from rafa "you dont need the most expensive leg for the table just a leg that fits" i feel in my heart stewart downing fits into this catagory i agree 16-18 mill is a lot of money but he will do a good job for liverpool, he is tried and tested and now fit for the first time in a few seasons lets wait and see what happens during the season before moaning about what might happen and the SUPPOSED COST, BOB PAISLEYS SKIDS

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 12:23:31
Not exactly a rumour but thought some of you might get a kick out of this.

Had a dream last night that Agger went to Italy...and a bit later, Liverpool shirts with Dann on the back. Random I know...well-known rumours certainly...maybe this site is getting under my skin.

27 Jun 2011 12:17:47
Ed why do so many on this site post messages referring to predictions they made months ago when they named every potential signing under the sun. Rest assured if anyone is first to posting a rumour which then turns out to be true, both the Eds and the site readers will cotton on to this pretty quickly. Reality Red

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 11:53:14
dos santos looks a good buy at 4.5m he looked brilliant for mexico in the world cup
ne way people complaining about the calibre of people being bought and not much happening be patient and lets not for get that only the scum got more points than us since kk took over so think of what he managed to do in such a short space of time and with what he percieves to be the right players with a full pre season a fully fit gerard and carrol( we havent seen the best of him yet) the king will work wonders have faith because somthing special is happening

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 11:52:31
Hi Eds,
Fab site - sooooo addictive
Just wondering if anyone knows why LFC places tabloid stories on the official website ?,
with stories of --- coming in and ---- leaving ,
is it just me or does it seem unprofessional ?,
if Meireles saw the website this morn he 'd see a tabloid story saying he's leaving - on his clubs website,
just wondering what others think as i keep seeing Eds correcting posters that these headlines are not LFC statements ,
pls post in rumours {Ed001's Note - I think that is a very good point, it seems to be just about getting cheap hits for the site by rounding up the media stories. I don't think it is a very good idea either, there are plenty of other sites to read nonsense on and it makes life more difficult for us on here!}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 11:41:13
i don't understand the negativity over Downing as we don.t currently have any wingers in the squad. If you asked Jeremy Beadle would you rather have one hand or two but one of which is a bit kack then you know he'd give his right hand to have two hands I digress, give Downing a chance

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 11:37:48
Just wondering that how come enough people slate sky sports or talk sport when their unkind to our club but take it as gospel when a top/world class player is linked. Not everyone at all i might add but its a pattern dat ed002 sussed a good while ago.Maybe not the sports radio/channells, but people just ask questions wanting to hear the right answer then piss and moan when they dont get it.Just like the to broadcasters i've just mentioned. When i first started reading this sight i did think ed002 was a bit of a misery to be honest but i'm right in his/her corner over the answers given by that ed .If you dont want to hear the truth dont ask ed002.All the eds dont try bulls**ting us so please eds, no slight on any of ya's, just that people ask a question, get an answer de dont like den talk some s**t particularly about ed002 .Ya all em a great job that must take up a lot of your spare time.f***in Bravo eds. Call me an asse licker, or hope you've done a good job cleaning out the eds clacker's. Truth hurts sometimes just gotta accept it, its a small minority not tryin to bag every one but there you go .

Now that Arsenal have got interest in Mata, arsenal fans are pulling qoutes out of their ears. In the guardian back in december he said he admired Giggs and than he liked the arsenal team with Berkamp because they were great. ( They was but are they now? I don't see denis playing) but they fail to mention further down the interview this was said- interviewer- Villa's a mate. But who's the nicest guy in football? Mata-Joaqu n S nchez Joan Capdevila and MC Pepe Reina THIS IS NOT MADE UP Even though mc pepe reina sounds silly. I Am not saying this means he is coming to liverpool as I believe Barca are fave unless they get sanchez and then us in england then city. h

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 11:35:00
Ed why don'y ya set up a new site for all the moaners and glory hunters and then we could have decent posters, support your team , i am grateful in October we were facin meltdown , with Roy Hodgson, and players wanting to get off or being sold to service the debt , Now we have Kenny , DC, Clarkey the ex- barcelona boys and FSG with dollar and VISION and like us wants to get rid of the free loaders and the demics and put in place a strategy for years and years that we could challenge consistently for titles and with Europes elite, but it will take time its called foundation you cant build a house on a swamp, it will sink so build on solid ground and the house will remain intact , for years we've buillt on swampand and we nearly sunk, now we are building brick by brick making sure the best top jollyhouse in the premier league is built , so no badwolf blows it down and we have an amazing team of builders in place, be patient all good things come to those who wait, here endeth the lesson bless ya loads liam

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 11:30:28
Hi ed,
i dont understand why Liverpool is not going after L.Baines (note, there have been lransfer between both clubs in the past) English + very good, premiership experience. Put the money Mr Comolli

ash {Ed001's Note - maybe because he can't defend and would cost us more than we paid for Johnson, who was an established international player unlike Baines?}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 11:27:38
lennon 20mil offer .....r we going mad or what

yes we didn't had the money few seasons back now we have enough ........"THAT f***ING DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD MISUSE IT".


LENNON couldnt get a cross in at worldcup for england ....he can just run run run..he is an out n out winger doesnt have much creativity or a bit of eye for goal like a striker

..good enough player to have i agree but if we r willing to spend 20mil , have spent 35miln on andy......insted of 20miln y shount we go for a player capable of playing more then a winger even if we spend more...............i strongly feel after adam, henderson, dowing, clichy(spell?), we need at lest one like mata ...someone how can create magic ..we already have suarez ....
.i dont mind or say we r doing bad with signing adams, downings, henderson, clichy these r regular performers. may not be that hyped or say have class of messi ronaldo but r better then our current options in a sense we r improving ....but one big mouth watering signing is must at least one..

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 11:09:41
Ed do you think there is any truth to the Aaron Lennon rumour?
He is quick which is good but lacks a decent cross and i do not rate him a 15 million pound player. {Ed002's Note - Refer to earlier answers.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 11:08:17
How come we are not linked to Spain's u21 best player Thiago. This guy was by far the best player on the pitch in all the games in the tournament. Very similar to xavi fantastic technique, passing, vision, skill and he can handle himself. Twice the player in my opinion than mata. Thiago and Martinez controlled the whole game with sublime 'one two' passing. How barca are even considering selling him is beyond me. I heard rumours they were willing to include him in cesc fabregas's deal and today we hear new rumours of man u and Chelsea being linked to him. If any of the above get him- we will be kicking ourselves .
I know mata is an attacker and he plays centre mid, but this type of player is the future . If you want to set barca as your benchmark than Thiago is an essential signing which is why the top clubs in eng are after him . Why aren't we?

Morning All,
I see The Independent has the Adam & Downing deals as imminent now.
This must be the case, as this is a quality newspaper.
Then Mata or Johnson, Sissokho maybe, and a left back (Vargas for instance) and I will be one happy camper
Anyone over and above that and I am going to eat Happy Meals until I'm forced to go to fat camp.

Hi Eds,
Just a question in relation to wage bill, how much a week are reserve team Players like Sterling, Coady, etc on?

I mean some one like Sterling could save us a packet in wages, I know some Eds are of the view that he could suffer burn out and hamper his development but if your good enough your Old enough?

Rebel_Red {Ed002's Note - It won't be much at all in terms of wages. But Sterling is simply not ready for the first team.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 10:45:12
I have a bit of a theory as to why things have slowed down a little over the past few weeks with regards to L'pools transfer activity.

It's a well known fact that we are heavily persuing C. Adam and S. Downing but both of their current clubs are playing hardball with the reluctance to sell. Both players want to come to us.
I beleive we have yet to show are hand on any other targets, purely down to the fact that these "other" targets will be our first choice for their relevant positions. C Adam and S Downing will only be squad players, although the club don't want them to know this yet.
Sissoko and Mata will be the first choice players.

Makes sense to me to tie up your squad players before your first chioce targets.

Lets face it, if we were to go out and buy Messi, what other attacking midfielder would come to the club? No-one I doubt as they'd know full well they wouldn't be able to shift Messi from the team.

I think KK and DC are being very shrewd in how they go about their business.

As soon as deals are wrapped up for C Adam and S Downing then the club will put their offers on the table for Sissoko and Mata ( and maybe even a few more big names )

Good times ahead.

Hi eds just a quick question where do all these rubbish rumors come from like Liverpool in 4 Lennon I've read Walcott named mentioned do the papers just make up these rumors {Ed002's Note - Liverpool supporters who like particular players, Twitter, naughty kids, etc..}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 10:27:38
'Liverpool are a big club and there has been contact, ' the attacking midfielder told L'Est R publicain. 'But I have to take my time, see the [Sochaux] president, discuss things through.

'I plan on being at pre-season training on Wednesday. If there's a big money offer, perhaps it will be impossible to say no. I don't want, at all costs, to leave Sochaux, but if there's an offer, I'll think about it.'

so hope we get this kid.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 10:34:11
EDs Just my two cents worth.....I find the new format of the Rumours page awkward and slow - I want to read the page fluidly instead of clicking and waiting. Just a fan's opinion. See what other responses you get.

cozinoz {Ed001's Note - oh well, sorry but it is not changing, in the past you never had responses on there at all. This is the only way to get them on there without it ending up being turned into another banter page.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 10:31:18
eds, you all do an amazing job on here, and easily has to be the best lfc site on the web, the only downside i have noticed is now and again mufc sneek an advert in, is there any way to stop these in future, thankyou

RED4lifeNOTjust4XMAS {Ed001's Note - it is not that simple, sorry, Google makes the decisions on the ads shown and they base it around your browsing history.}

Oh well, Arsenal are in for mata & gervinho. Lfc are in for adam & downing. Great Not

27 Jun 2011 10:22:25
ED002 Statement of intent, you make a very sound point, but I still believe the sooner the cull begins the better. {Ed002's Note - I suspect it is well in hand with agent's having been informed they can look for other clubs for certain players.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 10:17:34
What do people on here, think of giving Raheem Sterling a go in the first team this year? I think he's awesome, a real talent. He could save us quite a bit of money as well

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 10:16:57
any idea what time adam will be announced today? {Ed002's Note - Today?}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 10:15:02
Found this site about a week ago & now totally addicted, keep up the good work. Anything in the pipeline for today do you think ed, only I finish work at 1 & planning a trip to gym & sunbathing but I dont want to miss any "action"................. {Ed002's Note - We are expecting thunderstorms this afternoon, so the sun bathing may be off. Aside from that it looks to be a fine day.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 10:09:10
I must admit that the prospect of Stewart downing to Liverpool is growing on me good crossed, good attitude and a hard worker.not too keen on Adam though, would rather keep raul or see Henderson play in the first team most weeks

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 10:00:01
I think he's alright. He's pacy, can take players on and most importantly, he's hungry.

He'd no doubt (what so ever) improve our squad immensely.

Not just in terms of our winger problems but ultimately in depth. (I know he needs crossing counselling) but...

i'd rather have him than SD.

Chipkin9

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

Being a fellow LFC supporter i'll try not be offensive.

But really you would rather have Lennon over Downing ?. Are you not up to date on LFC

Aaron Lennon - Can't cross (at all), Is not hungry (He's an attitude), Dosn't really do ANYTHING else.

Stewart Downing - Good crosser (Not a Becks but good), Has shown hunger, commitment, good attitude his whole career.

With AC up front only one of those players are a must buy SD.

Sorry to disagree but your wrong AL is not those things you said.

why not go for geovani dos santos he is cheap tottenham will let him go for around 7m and he is one of the quickest wingers around.

Did anyone watch the gold cup final?

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 09:40:39
Hi Ed.
The Aaron Lennon situation makes me laugh. It was only a couple of seasons ago we were heavly linked with him, and he upset liverpool surporters by making derogaty remarks about us. I don't forget and would be gutted if we signed him. overated headless chicken.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 09:38:54
Chipkin9 {Ed009's Note - I would agree with the Adam over Meireles thing - half the price and half the wages too - but I just don't think Lennon is anything like good enough.}

I think he's alright. He's pacy, can take players on and most importantly, he's hungry.

He'd no doubt (what so ever) improve our squad immensely.

Not just in terms of our winger problems but ultimately in depth. (I know he needs crossing counselling) but...

27 Jun 2011 09:32:38
Ed, do you think how much FSG give to KD to spend?

Jordan Henderson(13M)
Charlie Adam(8M)
Stewart Downing(16M)
=37M
--------

Left-back - possibly 10M
Center-back - possibly 14M
Another World class winger, Juan Mata - possibly 22M
Another backup Striker - possibly 10M
=56M

TOTAL =93M ??is it possible??

porchLFC {Ed009's Note - perhaps, only if we sell Meireles, Aqualani for about 20 million and the remaining dead wood for about 10.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 09:19:42
i do not see the need for more midfielders, only 2 winger and 2 defenders needed.
i do not understand why we are so interested in midfielders.
left defender needed
center back needed (soto not good enough)
2 wingers needed.
we do not need a big squad next season.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 09:16:30
Hi Ed's and Macca,

Not a rumour just a request. Macca, thanks for all your info but when you reply to a post could you maybe copy that post into yours so we know what you are replying to?

Cheers,

Liverpool need to make a statement of intent, in this transfer window, prospective purchasses are looking at the current squad and they do not like what they see, Liverpool need to shed some players and fast, once the spaces become avialeble, potential purchasses will know were they stand in the squad, the players that will be going should be put up for sale now, get rid of them, this will give incoming players more confidence in putting pen to paper.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 06:27:35
i have no idea why everyone says champions league football is a huge factor for arsenal &city in their bid to sign mata. 1 neither of them stand a chance of winning it. 2 arsenal may not even make the qualifier with lyon and munich in it. 3 arsenal are on the verge of collapse.

my uncle has a flat near eastlands and just heard of adam johnson joining liverpool, if sanchez goes to city then mancini will leave him 2 us.johnson is willing to come to anfield
100 percent guaranteed news from inside of eastlands

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

How close is his flat, city need to start shutting windows before discussing transfers, lol. On a more serious note, I would love Johnson at Liverpool.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 08:54:08
Hey Ed, do you think going for Adam is even worth it? He is no doubt a good player. People like his goal scoring abilities. But the majority of his goals come from penalties and free kicks. He will take neither if he's with us. And if the Sissoko rumours are true, then where would he play? It seems we're linked with more Center Mids then anything else. {Ed009's Note - I would of course prefer Sissoko to Adam, and can't see where both players would fit in, unless we were to play with three cm's. I think that Adam will be a good signing though, he has a great range of passing and is the missing part of our midfield in my opinion.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 08:31:59
Firstly, Great Site Ed's.
I have been addicted to it every summer and January for the last few years. Great that it's a pure Liverpool page now instead of having to trawl through the Football Rumours page like the old days.

I love a good rumour as much as anyone else but I dont understand people getting frustrated with the lack of concrete rumours surrounding our beloved club. As Kenny has said on numerous occasions, we are trying to go back to the Liverpool Way and I think it can only be a good thing that business is being done discreetly behind closed doors. Under the previous owners and Rafa, we were doing a lot of talk through the papers and I am delighted to see some dignity and class back at the club.

Liverpool to sign Gareth Bale 30-40million.That's what my source is telling me..could take a while so jst wait an compliment me wen it happens.thanks.

I'll keep an eye out for Gareth bales apology video on YouTube then after what he said about the city and the club.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 07:57:51
LIVERPOOL HAVE A MASSIVE BARGANING TOOL

There are loads of big teams in the CL year after year,

BUT what would be bigger for a players career/reputation than to say he was part of the Liverpool team that took them back to their best and the the top of the world.

Remember Djimi Traore was a CL Winner but would never have been in a Shankly/Paisley team.

27 Jun 2011 07:53:20
Sick to death of reading about Reina didn't stay becuase of such and such signing............
Since when has a Liverpool player been bigger than the club and dictated who the manager should sign.
Pepe Reina is a decent goalkeeper, that's all, Kenny D would in no way be told who he could or would sign by a player.
So please forget about any " marquee" signing and just be glad we have Dalglish making the decisions, and thankfully the tactics that will be better to watch than the last 10 years.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 06:45:07
So....
We lose Young & Jones to Man Utd...
And now possibly Izaguirre...
Mata looks Arsenal bound...
And Wenger's trying to keep Clichy...
Both Man Utd & Spurs are waiting to pip us for Adam...
AC Milan look set to pip us for Enrique...
Chelsea look set to sign self-confessed LFC fan Turan...
Sunderland have already made a bid for Wickham...
Villa & Stoke have made bids for Dann...
Marveaux joined Newcastle...
Friedel & Doni turned us down...
Villa have put a stupid price tag on Downing...

What the bloody hell is going on?

I know we don't have the holy grail of Champions League football (is that SO important to players?) but come on boys...sort it out before we're left with only the bargain bin to buy from?

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 04:42:27
ive just read that river plate have been relegated, KK could do some great business getting Eric Lamela on the cheap, one definately for the future

Wouldn't worry about Mata joining Arsenal's bid. 18mil for Mata is a joke and they know it'll be rejected. There just yanking our again over Clichy wanting to jump ship before's their's sinks. Nasri wants to go, Fab's heart or head's not with the programme anymore. No keeper, pay for top players is s**te compared to other teams ala Nasri and Clichy.Sell em Raul soon as(sorry to see him go but it looks like the club are going to cash in)and then, they'll be clean on there asse, plus board room struggles and their out of the picture. Their is no doubt in my mind Reina didn't stay at the club for Charlie Adam, Stew Downing and Jordan Henderson(no offence to any of them three, i hope we get Adam and Downing. He must have been given some assurence of some big time players joining. Not the best logic in the world i know, but i'd be looking at the usual suspects, City and Barcelona to rival us for him. Just a bid that they know will get knocked back straight away to bulls**t their tired weary fans that their gonna spend some serious coin for a change.Well for them it is anyway. Tele's just f***ed up just as main event of UFC was just about to start, so head down time. Jonson6

Champions League soccer is a massive bargaining tool when it comes to the bigger name players...rumours around at the moment is Arsenal is after Mata as well.....what has kk got to bargain with? I know where I'd love to go if I was a younger player just starting out BUT now days young guns want success yesterday....

just thought that if we signed a cb such as lovren then why not let kelly get first team action somewhere else like blackburn, would need a cb right and we need kelly to get prem exp. he's at that stage where sitting on the bench and waiting for someone to get injured is not preferable altough with our lot(johnson, aurelio and agger) he will almost certainly get 25 starts in all competitions.

if liverpool is to lose out to mata from arsenal we will go for nasri i hope but personally i prefer mata but it will be good even though unlikely to come to us as he wants champions league football

Todays Daily Fail headlines read like a horror story for Liverpool:

- EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal make club record £18m bid for Spain Under 21 star Juan Mata.
- Chelsea offered Galatasaray's Arda Turan in exchange for Drogba plus £7m in cash.
- Meireles set to leave Liverpool after a year.

If all 3 come true and we end up with bloody Downing and Adam I'll go berserk

-Shane.

hi eds, i read recently that arsenal were interested in Vaclav Kadlec of Sparta Prague, as im an admirer of the player i just wondered what you and the other posters thought of the player, sumone liverpool could/should be looking at? {Ed001's Note - I haven't a clue sorry, unfortunately I don't get to see a lot of Czech football.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 01:25:26
But Kk watched the u21 last night and likes shakira.

.... A lot of us like her but she is going out with Gerard Pique

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 01:12:08
So Arsenal and Liverpool in for Mata EDS aint Barcelona interested? {Ed001's Note - they may be, but they have other fish to fry right now.}

just a quick question to the Eds and all, i see we are 5/2 for John O Shea, i was wondering would yee be happy if we signed him. I wouldn, t , (1)where would he fit in and (2)If he is not good enough for Utd why should he be good enough for us.Rumours plz Ed

Red Dave {Ed009's Note - the player is nowhere near good enough for us, a long time Manc and too old. I really can't see the move happening.

I am sorry Ed0009, but if KK decides he's good enough, that's good enough for me, I think he's a better judge of player He's a utility man, who can fit in anywhere in the back 4, he's does a job when he plays, he has plenty of expierence and 5 premier league titles under his belt, I cudnt care less if he was a Manc, if he came to us, done a job I'd be happy out. Put it to you this way, if we did sign him and we won the league with him been a valuable squad member would you still be saying he's not good enough, I think not Why are people so narrow minded?

Rebel_Red {Ed001's Note - but Kenny has never shown any interest in him, so why are you asking that question? The lad is a joke amongst United supporters, he is simply not good enough.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 00:52:23
I really hope we sign Mata, Adam Johnson, and Baines. that's my top 3 wishes all of them is pure class, thay are what we need and could bring us number 19 are they possible ed? {Ed001's Note - all except Baines.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 00:48:34
sir alex seems to have a draft of all liverpool's targets cz it seems they re linked to everyone the we are after

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 00:44:22
Im addicted to this site lately, I really hope we nab Mata but on another note who do the eds think are the centre backs who we are interested in the most. Its gone a little quiet for this position of late seems its the LB and midfield/attacking spots getting the limelight
YNWA
MJ {Ed001's Note - I still think Musacchio looks the most likely.}

Riverplate just got relegated Maybe that TEAM LAMELA person will have their wish granted and we buy Eric Lamela :)

Liverpool will not win the EPL title with players such as Acquilani, Cole, Kyrgiakos, Poulsen, Konchsey, Degen, El Zahr, Jovanovic, Ngog in their squad.

We have signed Henderson nice and early in the transfer window which was a wonderful sign of intent in the off season and filled us with hope.

Without any firm news of departures at this point, I just cant see how we can turn over that many players and have a settled squad ready to focus on the league from the beginning of the season.

rumours on this site are funny and a great read even if some of them are not true . i no a few people who work for liverpool fc , from coaches to office staff and one is pretty high up behind the scenes and even he doesnt no about who is coming. what he did say was we are looking for 18-25 year olds and that money was no object . but what was intresting was that he said the owners and the backers which there is a few, are totally leaning towards a new stadium as anfield just cant match united or arsenal when it comes to match day hospitality and tha is were the money is to compete with europes elite .

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 00:31:06
liverpool should go straight in with a bid for mata of £25 million arsene wenger dont like to spend he will give up on him and look for cheaper option.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 00:14:15
Why are we not looking at players like Barcelona's Spanish Euro Under-21 hero Thiago Alcantara.?

Perfect AM player we need.

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 00:13:59
Hi Ed,

Is Moussa Sissoko a defensive holding midfielder? We really need a player who can play this position to assist Lucas. Cheers mate,
RedChris {Ed001's Note - no, he is much more than that, more like a Javi Martinez all-round midfielder.}

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 00:05:46
Well thats that Mata will choose Arsenal instead of us... Gutted

 

 

 

 

27 Jun 2011 00:00:23
