Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

30 Aug 2012 22:51:25
I Really don't want to put pressure on the new youngster but his playing style reminds me of Klose and Matias Suarez.

I'm thinking back to being an 18yo, I'd being effin chuffed with no pressure!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:51:09
at least we ll have the excitement of two new signings tomorrow

tom1975

Hopefully it won't be flops like carroll was when we found out.

here is to hopping Dempsey and Audameyang or Walcott or Llorente

What if you haven' t heard of either and they are both 17?

Find it confusing with all these posts about AC right now...about 6-7 months ago most people in here probby were screaming "GET RID OF AC!!"...now the same people complaining about whos gonna score all the goals now?
Get a grip..Carroll scored a few goals at the end of last season and now LFC wont be able to compete without him?

I reckon BR did the right thing unless there were someone willing to buy..not just the right thing for LFC but for AC aswell...he'd never develop as a player without playing regulary.
On top of that I really can't see him being the type of striker we need right now...

Anyway...I'd love to see AC score alot of goals for West ham..hopefully he'll go easy when we face them :)

YNWA Swe.

Not sure but i dont think a player can play against the club that loaned him.

cobra

Cant play against us...he's on loan

Carrol can't play against us if has signed for a loan agreement. U cannot play against your home club

My understanding is that 'not playing' against your home club is part of the contract but not a given. Maybe it is a regulatory starnadrd. Happy to be corrected?

Downing about as good a left back as winger.
Tommy.

Stop moaning the guy was asked to try Somthing and did not have the ego not to

In my opinion I thought he looked good in that position I except the opposition though

Thoughts?

Just got news from my reliable source and he tells me that liverpool representives are in dortmund finalising a deal for Robert lewandowski which would be done tommorow. Eds have you heard anything about this

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:46:20
Ed`s; Is it any posibol that wee can sign Michael Owen and/ or Ryan Babel now both has no club. How will sign for Liverpool tomorrow ? {Ed019's Note - No

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:46:19
although carroll is only a loan i'm relieved it's today an not tomorrow leaving a whole day for negotiations for a replacement rather than a last minute push leaving us getting scammed! well done brendon, i have confidence

I don't think we would have loaned him had we not been pretty confident of adequate coverage.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:43:48
Ed 01 earlier you said agger would be starting against arsenal, Isnt he banned for 3 matches? Or were you trying to make a point ive managed to miss? Haha cheers mate

Lfc matt {Ed019's Note - No, one match.

Really, i thought it was 3 too with no appeal/fa downgrade {Ed001's Note - you can only not appeal if the ban results from yellow cards.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:43:05
So, we have no strikers, and Carroll goes out on loan. Didn't BR say that a manager would have to be nuts to send him out on loan? Am I crazy?? I know we have a day left in window, but from my eyes we are WEAKER than last year. We looked pathetic against Hearts and didn't deserve to move on. Simply horrible display.

Apart from front third and Reina's blue, it was not as bad as you are making it out to be. I assume that "Simply horrible display" is your sign off?

Andy K

I love how people seem to change their own memory of the game based on result, we played well just didn't take our chances, I bet if Suarez decided to shoot when there was an open goal and we got a bit of luck from the linesman and ended up winning 3-1 everyone would singing our praises it's just stupid

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:42:54
Ryan Babel has been released and is now a free agent. Do you Eds think he's worth a second chance? He can play in a few positions and in his favoured inside forward role while having bags of pace.

He surely must be looked at since Sinclair, Sturridge and Walcott are similar players to him.

Anyway what do you guys think?

Babel's a super-sub. Maybe he'll pull a Bellers later in life and come back a star

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:41:40
Brendan u should have listened more carefully, we wanted to keep Carroll! Also Henderson apparently played tonight? I saw him walk off the pitch and that's the best thing he did all night

You are clueless

Yeah, you obviously didn't watch the match tonight did you? All 3 in midfield looked solid. Henderson attempted the cutting through balls and was superb tonight however, Allen was a step above he looks like a real gem. Henderson must start alongside Allen vs Arsenal, starve them of possession and cut the creative players for them off.

Thanks

30 Aug 2012 22:41:40
Dempsey to our first and top target.

Walcott is our second target.

These are our main targets.

There is a small chance we will go for Llorente if we fail to sign Walcott. Walcott is seen as the replacement for Carroll.

My source is Jamie Rednapp.

We are a laughing stock. 35 mill then loan him out! Joke of a club, I'm starting not to like BR. Our squad has been weakened after letting AC, Kuyt, Bellamy, Maxi, Aqua etc go and brining in some winger from Holland, Borini who looks average and Sahin who is average. Allen looks ok, Dempsey is to old. If we let Adam go and Spearing then we need to buy especially with Lucas out!

Letting Aqua go?.. I thought you were serious until you said that..thats funny

Bazingaa

Joke of a post. You haven't got a clue mate!

Gillinho

Allen looks ok? What planet are you on mate allen is superb. Isuggest you try watching a match beause you clearly have no clue if you think hes ok!

Ian the red

Do you know anything about football?

Are you a lfc fan?

I suspect not with that sort of mindless negative post

Chris r

1.You don't know anything about that winger for Christ sake you have never seen him play 2. Sahin will be quality you can't be an average player and get player of the year in the bundesliga. 3. See you didn't mention Joe Allen in there.
Keep the faith BR knows what he's doing, stop being a plastic fan

Yes, we did soooooooooo well with all of those players that you are moaning about losing.

Give your head a shake...wake up and realize that if significant changes in attitude, personnel and playing style were not made to LFC we were doomed to yet another sub-par, mid-table finish.

No guarantees but, unloading those players (perhaps, with the exception of Bellamy) and bringing in some new blood at least gives us a chance for improvement. More importantly, the changes lay the groundwork for LFC returning to the top four in the near future.

Time to move on from the model that sees us grossly overpaying for underperforming 'talent'.

You don't like him because he let Aqua go? I don't like you.

Aqua??? are you for real man? What an excuse for a player he'd be lucky to make the hearts team that were scraped by tonite if he doesnt get injured in the warm up!!!!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:41:19
I say get this new 18 yro lad in the side asap as Suarez/Boroni won't score many.....glad we got rid of our only other threat :-)

Sorry who has scored two in two ?

Oh yes our number 7

Who else thinks Downing at left back has worked well, it's a good option for the player, the team and the manager. Big well done to Downing who applied himself to the role really well and to BR for applying the player to the role. Could be great for the season as an alternative to Enrique

Yorkshire Red YNWA

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:39:17
Personally I feel like we will likely sign Dempsey and then one other "front three player". Obviously the rumors are Walcott or the kid from St. Etienne. I think BR will want to play with Suarez through the middle, then more of a striker on side (Dempsey or Borini) and more of a winger on the other side (Assaidi, Walcott, Sterling). That would be a pretty good "2 deep" up front with Suarez, Borini, Sterling, Assaidi, then 2 more signings. For arguments sake Dempsey and Walcott.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:39:09
When are we allowed to say that Reina's overrated? He has really had a horrible few seasons

Canada Red

Totally agree mate. He's got no competition though so has become complacent. Hope BR kicks him up the ass!

Gillinho

You're wrong, not over-rated for a "few seasons", lost his way since around last february. But put yourself in a managerial position, BR realeased a lot of stories through summer about "challenging No1's" and there was even a few weeks we all though Lloris was coming (even after that there was a few Skelernberg rumours). Have the club shook his confidence? is he losing form/class? Is out new system exposing him to crosses? Or is he just behind a "formulative" back 4? Pepe is still in the top 5 keepers in the world, back him a little while longer, did you not see his contribution over the past half-decade?

Never

golden gloves prove it.

Been saying it for 2 years now mate

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:36:22
With Carroll now gone Ed would this mean that the owners would fund a deal for another striker? Knowing we will receive 17 million at the end of the season (providing W.H. Stay up).

If so could Llorente be a last minute bid? He is currently available and with a year left on his deal would command a lesser fee if he had longer on it (15-18 million).

This would be a good piece of business if we pulled it off. I'm hoping Afellay signs also tomorrow. Whether it be a loan or permanent, but would prefer permanent.

We could also finally see the likes of Adam leave for 5 million, Spearing (loan) not sure if this is with option to buy.
We are really starting to look a team/squad again, and the above would top off a great summer window for me. We've acquired some real quality upto now in Allen, Sahin, Borini and with the introductions of Coates and Sterling into the first 11.

I think at some point this season I expect Suso to start breaking through and maybe another. We still have the unknown quantities in Assiadi, Semil (I think) and a youngster or two Ngoo etc.

I'm really looking forward to this season and I'm really enjoying watching the team transform into a professional, confident passing team with real ability and work ethic. Whether we come 4th, 5th or 6th ill still know we are moving in right direction.

You can clearly see the confidence in some players at the minute (Shelvey is blossoming currently). Coates (barring the odd concentration lapse) showed great composure beyond his years on Sunday. Sterling has burst onto the scene an with the right guidance will be a world beater in a season or two.

So I'm just gonna sit back tomorrow hope for the two above signings (or whoever) and look forward to the season.

30 Aug 2012 22:33:47
Let's just hope tied into Carroll loan deal that he can't play against us.....
John a

Surely, your fear is not based on the possibility of Carroll scoring a goal??...because, I'd take that 'risk' any day of the week.

Honestly, some of the posts on this site are better suited for the Comedy Channel!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:33:11
Boot room blarney is it just me or is QPR buying more players than fans ,well this season sure is crazy . Do u think there will be any surprise signings maybe someone who hasn't been mentioned yet or is that it for this window

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:31:10
Selling andy carroll one of the most terifing centre fowards in the country with bags full of potential and quality, along with playing badly and still strugeling to score form open play,
Aswell as looking as poor from set plays as we did in the early rafa era,
And buying mostly crap players bar joe allen,
using a system that dosn't seem to work unless you poses an extremly technically talented midfeild such as xavi and inestia and the sheer prolificy of messi.
Why the optimism?

I'm a Forest fan and a neutral.

I think you have made a HUGE mistake selling Carroll.

Because we didn't START with any of johnson, agger, coates, enrique, sahin, lucas, sterling, assaidi, or borini.
because any of dempsey, walcott, sturridge could arrive and the club could pull a rabbit out the hat like they did with sahin and shock us all tomorrow!!
because the club have added another youngster today, considered to be prolific and we could be a few months away from the 1st team witnessing appearances from the likes of players like suso, texeirea, jordan ibe, adorjan, wisdom, sama and maybe a few others.
s.p

Patience is obviously not one of your virtues.

Let me remind you that the squad BR inherited finished 8th last season. We dont have loads of money to spend so BR will have to change the squad over 2-3 windows as well as changing the style of play. Did you expect this to happen after 2 PL games??

Jan

Ummm...I don't know who exactly you've been watching but, Andy Carroll being described as "one of the most terifing (sic) centre forwards in the country" is the most RIDICULOUS observations I have ever seen! That description of Andy is laughable to be more accurate. In fact, my sides hurt as I type this!

All of the posts lamenting the loss of Andy and prior to his loan, the posts begging BR to keep him and proclaiming 'the big man' as the second coming of Messi absolutely boggle the mind...at least of sane people. I mean really...Andy Carroll a #9??...ummmm...no way.

The donkey has no touch, no skill, no mobility and based on his record, clearly cannot do what he was paid handsomely by LFC to do: put the biscuit in the basket. The worst signing ever--thank-you KD!

He is far from an elite player so, with all due respect, playing for West Ham is about right for him.

Don't believe me? Well consider this: if Andy truly was one of the "most terifing (sic) centre fowards in the country" do you really believe he would have landed on the doorstep of WHUFC?...exactly!...he would have been courted by the top teams in Europe and would be playing in Spain or for one of the Mancs or Chelski. The reality is LFC could not unload him fast enough...in fact, they were so desperate to do so, they basically wrote him off and hence the cut-rate buyout price.

In my opinion, I'm glad they did. Yes, it's a loss and that smarts but, sometimes you just have to cut your losses and hope you've learned from your stupidity.

Time for LFC to move foward...with real players.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:31:03
Hi Eds,

Could you shed some light on the LB position? Is Stewart Downing conversion to LB an indication that BR does not rate Jose Enrique or is it simply that BR does not think jack Robinson is quite ready to back up Enrique?

Finally, Cheers for the fantastic job in keeping us informed about the ongoings of our beloveth club; in particular Ed002's who's info always seems to be 100%. Would be great if you were on site for tomorrows deadline day frenzy!

Cheers again ߑ͠{Ed019's Note - Robbo isn't ready

30 Aug 2012 22:30:03
Hi eds,

Result tonight was all that mattered. Getting slightly worried about Reina tbh. Just read on a website transfer clockwatch that we are interested in Sturridge now Carroll has gone. Do you know if this is true or just idle journalism?

Thanks,
Scott in Barnsley

Really impressed with how we are playing but think we are playing a dangerous game when we are pinging it round players in defence jus hope we dont get caught out doing it lol and stewart downing looked ok in defence didnt look out of place jus nedds learn how to tackle lol and does anyone know how much possesion we had all game cos i missed the stats.

30 Aug 2012 22:28:14
Good luck Andy. You will score 20 goals at West Ham and show the world what you can do.

It will be the best for all parties..

Is there a buy clause?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:27:41
I think tonight's game was a classic case of apathy. I don't believe our players thought Hearts could hurt them,this game sandwiched between Man City and Arsenal didn't help. Credit to Hearts, in contrast this was like a cup final to them and their boys played it like one.

You cannot legislate for a goalkeeping error like tonight's,although Reina's form has been a concern for a couple of years. Prior to that he was always considered one of the best in the Premiership. At the moment he isn't secure. He needs competition from a credible back up keeper who can seriously stake a genuine claim to the no.1 jersey.

On another point, I don't quite understand the way we are utilizing our forward three. Adam Morgan is a poacher/finisher. Borini is a finisher. Despite scoring tonight Suarez is not a natural goal scorer. And yet Suarez plays centrally and the other two are assuming roles in wider positions. Now I would never advocate that I'm anywhere near as knowledgable regarding football matters as Brendan Rodgers. But this current set up seems illogical to me.

We're through and that's what ultimately matters. I'm sure we'll see a much improved performance against the Gunners. Hold on to your hats fellow Reds, I'm sure tomorrow will be a rollercoaster of a ride on the final day of the current window. And good luck to Andy Carrol. Limited in ability he may be but no one can question his heart,desire and genuine commitment. A big welcome to Yesil, and any further arrivals we hopefully see tomorrow.

Paul, Staffs.

Paul, Staffs.

Borini and the 18 year old are used wide to relieve the pressure that comes with being both a goal-scorer and playing centre (a la Andy) while they develop. If you accept this as true then who else to play centre?

- Logic

Arsenal will beat us they always do

I'm counting the amount of games it takes Rodgers to realise Suarez should be on either wing with Sterling/Assaidi on the other and Borini/Morgan to play centrally...slightly amusing he hasn't realised it yet...

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:25:48
I mentioned earlier about west ham being long ball sh1te and got a reply from an unnamed fan . I wasn't having a dig at AC it was more allerdyce ( spelling ) that I was having a dig at . He has his players playing that way since Bolton but I really think that is why they have got him on loan as big sam wants to pump the ball up top . Poo tactics from a poo manager .

You complete JOKE...seriously pal get a grip

It actually hurt my head reading this.

Rodgers out?
Fans like you out!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:23:40
with spearing, carroll off of loan and adam subject to bids we are looking to sign two players.

1st is definitely going to be Dempsey

2nd is carrolls replacement, this is either be Aubemayang or Llorente (outside chance bilbao might look to get what they can because he isn't going to sign a new deal) but Aubemayang would be the more likely.

and Morgan wasn't and isn't ready it's so clear to see. Samed Yesil might just jump ahead of Morgan in terms of future first team opportunities.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:22:18
I've said it before and I'll say it again, BR's biggest issue at Swansea was not having a plan B ( as many Swansea fans will attest to) so I hope the loaning out of AC doesn't prove to be his nemesis and he has an alternative rabbit to pull out of the bag, because tonight's performance was indicative of the problems he had.

Yes settling in etc etc but he's made some bold statements and commitments (I am a fan by the way of BR), but his philosophy will not stand up to too many negative results....that's just the way football works these days

Marshy

The man led Swansea to 11th place in the premiership,Plan A worked that's the point....

Carroll is a very expensive Plan B, though. More expensive than Plan A, if that is Suarez. He's also a saleable asset and could we afford not to let him go, if we want to further strengthen the squad?
Carroll also might not fancy being Plan B.
Rigsby.

A plan b would essentially come from having a squad depth available to come on and change a game. he didn't have that at swansea, he is trying to add to that to the lfc squad as we all speak.

There are factors which allow loaned players to be brought back.

- Logic

35m striker on 80k / week is kind of a luxurious Plan B, don't you think?

Chelsea, Mancs and Manu can afford it. We can't

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:16:44
So much for not sending carroll out on loan..... What a load of happy horses s..t!!! Just hope theres a replacement at the ready coz i can see this going tits up.

played well tonight, just missing that cut throat finishing. what was pepe doing, again? allen, gerrard, hendo, jonjo all did very well in mid and looked fluid, suarez worked hard, msg on t-shirt was y he was desperate to score.sterling again looked very good and will only get better. however will say that the new style of pressing is very tasking and im sure quality in depth of the squad will be more important than ever. hopefully we can maintain the level of energy shown tonight and against city.imo i think we may even sneak top4. keep up the good work boys.

30 Aug 2012 22:13:21
my take on the game is morgon still to soon for him suarez still for me wastes to many chances he needs to play on the left of the three so we need a front man and for me demsey isnt that he is a attacking mid so i hope we have someone to replace carrol (mistake letting him go) henderson tonight looking a lot better the through balls for suarez were brilliant deserved finishing sterling again wonderfull and for me ready for plenty of game time and a nice surprise downing was really good at left back just my thoughts cheers

Hi Ed

Can Dempsey be classed as a replacement for Carroll and then the other signing being a winger maybe walcott or is Dempey a midfielder with no winger coming in but a striker to be Carroll's replacement

cheerio

Damian Kop {Ed019's Note - Dempsey is a forward, We expect another one or maybe two more

Ed19 demsey is not a striker he is an atacking midfielder pls stop calling him a forward cause that he aint {Ed001's Note - he is a forward, he plays as a forward or attacking midfielder, so please stop trying to be a smart arse.}

Evening eds fellow reds , played well again tonight Allen is something else but we need a finisher and with AC gone we are very thin on the ground now , but Morgan did well . Cheers psv

Any idea what is going on with the stadium, seem to have all gone quite again and the clock is ticking.
Hope FSG don't turn into H&G as looking at the transfers they seem to have put little of they own money in. Both in Jan and the current window.

Liverpool are going to bid for clint dempsey tommorow but the daniel sturridge talk is not true..

Also liverpool are very very very interested in theo walcott though are willing to wait till january to see what happens.

Brendan wanted another striker though mpbey was not there and fsg want him to prove himself.

Also expect adam to move abroad possibly turkey..

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:17:35
Looks like sturridge is going to come as well as Dempsey and that will be that

edds who the strikers we got in mind and i mean out and out striker not attacking mid demsey and not a striker winger wallcot because we only have suarez and a light weight borini so a little worried cheers

mike {Ed001's Note - Dempsey is a striker or attacking mid! Walcott is a forward, not a winger.}

Demsey is best as atacking mid as were fulham have played him majority of games and walcot has been played on the right ever since he has been at arsenal ecept the odd game yes his prefered position is a striker so tell me witch one is an out and out striker none

mike {Ed001's Note - give it a rest, Dempsey played as a striker last season for Fulham when he had his best season. I have given you an answer, if you don't like it, tough, I really don't care, your attitude is pathetic. Don't bother asking again, I am not going to waste my time answering. Your previous posts have referred to editors as stupid, among other things, when you don't have the intelligence to understand football.}

My understanding is that Sturridge only has one year left on his contract so I dont understand the logic of a loan?

There has been so much disrespect to Kenny from the 'Sheeple' supporters.
I hope they are flushed down the toilet.
Worthless unthinking robots.

Redken

I don't know if you realise it, Redken, but FSG actually OWN Liverpool FC and I don't think that they are in a hurry to leave. There is no Transfer Window for them!
Dutchmal

And straight down the ewe bend.
Rigsby.

Did you not notice the low quality/ high price tag signings dalglish made then? you know the ones we're currently trying to get rid of and replace with decent players because last seasons league performance was shocking
ant

Isn't your statement just as disrespectful towards the present Liverpool manager and owners? just saying...don't hate lol

You should try practising what you preach.

Bazingaa

Lets give them time first weve got no other choice you are classed as a supporter act like one think what shankley would say to fans like you long live our club if it werent for them it wouldnt be here

Calling people sheeple is kinda sheepish.kenny had a go, it didnt work, we were brutal by the end of the season.
he was my idol as a kid but i dont think he was ever in fsg s plans really. young manager young talent sell them later at a profit to reinvest in more young talent much like arsenal,who lose their top players every season.

You have articulated your position incredibly well with a sound reasoning behind each and every point.

Cant wait to read your next post

What's a herbert by the way??

What an astute intellectual post that was I feel humbled to be in you presence

So we hate BR because?

We hate the new owners who have removed all our debt and our looking to put us on a stable long term footing plus investing over 100 million in players in the last 18 months

Gosh I wish I was as bright as you?

Chris r

Go away Blueken

I agree that the kenny bashers aren't real supporters but come on FSG have put a lot of money into our club and Rodgers has us playing some great, entertaining football. Give him 2 seasons and then judge him.

Reina's clownonolgy is becoming a regular occurance

".....What a nightmare for Pepe Reina. David Templeton, who has been Hearts's best player tonight, takes a speculative shot from 35 yards out and the Liverpool keeper spills the shot into the back of his net. That's one for the bloopers' dvd....."

I thought it was Fabian Barthez!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:10:01
Would love to see AC doing well for West Ham just to annoy Newcastle who obviously really wanted him but were taking the p**s with their offer.

And are Cisse and Ba off to the ACN? They (and we) may regret this opportunity for Carroll?

I just want to say good luck i West Ham, Andy! Sorry i didn't work out here. Will allways remember when you made John Terry look like a 10 year old girl in two games in a row last year.

Wish it was you Andy, way too many words spelled correctly for after 10pm to be true, but cheers anyway, wish it could have been a better time for us both

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:07:59
All the best to Andy Carroll. Good player, just at the wrong time. He's a metaphor for Dalglish's reign unplayable at times but generally mediocre with a poor attitude. He'll rip if up at the Hammers I have no doubt and with get plenty of food to keep his forehead fed! Sweet Carroll 9 do! do! do!

Please sign dempsey, huntelaar and walcott! = Definately bring us back to the top 4 !!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:10:57
So it looks like Carroll, Spearing and Adam our. Dempsey and one other in. In the Eds opinion who is the most likely 'other'?

YNWA

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:59:14
Hi eds ! Now that carroll has joined westham on loan, do you know the details of the loan deal ? like loan fee ? Is there an agreement to buy ? will there be another player coming in along with dempsey ? If yes, who and which position ? Would be glad if you answered. Thanks a lot !

MIHIRED. {Ed019's Note - Carroll loan has a million fee, and I don't know of a buy clause. If there is one it'll be undisclosed. Dempsey and other forwards

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:58:48
Hi eds
Well, I guess that Llorente out the window with bambi being loaned out haha any news on a loan fee? I hope its 8mill with the option to buy for another 12.
Who else do you think we will sign aswell as possibly Dempsey? Are the board willing to inject a bit of cash into the club to help buy somebody decent?
Thanks

LFCPhil

 

 

30 Aug 2012 19:53:32
Eds two question, We bought Raheem from QPR, who was responsible for that signing? and Now that AC is gone but is gone for loan and not the sale that was expected? Im guessing that means we wont be buying like expected, i.e another striker an winger? and Dempsey will most likely be our only other signing?
J-lk {Ed019's Note - Can't remember who bought Raheem. Carroll sale frees up wages. Dempsey is most likely, Walcott and Sturridge are other possibilities

I think it was benitez mate but i may be wrong

x {Ed001's Note - it was the Academy scouting team, might even have had Kenny's involvement, but I am not entirely sure now.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:44:11
Hello Ed's

How much Loan fee are we receiving for the spearing deal thank you

30 Aug 2012 22:11:29
Hi Eds who is favourite to sign Dempsey {Ed029's Note - We are}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:06:48
Another complacent mistake from Reina, really not happy with his attitude, hate to say it, but time for him to go get a new challenge, he knows that there is no one to challenge him for his position at Anfield!

So therefor he let the ball go in for a goal?

Have you ever thought that since our goalkeeping coach Xavi Valero went, Pepe's performances dropped?

we need to bring him back.

It seems like his head is gone. Too much passing? Are we allowed to buy Vorm in January??

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:05:51
2 games 3 mistakes 3 goals. not great. my main worry is pepe we all know how good he can be, but maybe to much celebrating with while warming the bench has made him loose his edge. i really to fear for him.
we need good back up t put pressure on him.

good luck andy,.
west brom away in league cup.

ps we should complete our signing early in order to have all players available for all games.
arsenal game is now a must win.
mark

2 goals against city had NOTHING to do with pepe.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:05:18
Downing first choice left back?
Comfortable on the ball, creates time for targets to present then hits them. Joins in the attack, then gets back to defend at the right time. Need to see him against better opposition, but so far a brilliant (and unexpected) move by BR.

Agree. I thought he was great. He put in some excellent crosses as well.

It's a great question... last year Enrique was considered our best signing (and therefore one of our best players) most of the year. But in real terms was the creation from his position a big plus? Was his defending so good no-one put us under pressure when they came down their right? I didn't get to as many games in the flesh as I'd have liked but I did see the Johnson/Downing left flank experiment a few times and it looked good, so much so I trust Downing going back enough for him to do a true WB role, this could be an inspired idea. Of course I don't see Downing and Jonhson as Carlos and Cafu, but going on £35M was the (inflated English player) market rate, they're well above the PL average and this lease of life could be a real catharsis for them and English football, or a **** up, lets see.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:04:51
pepe needs some serious competition.

Ter Stegen maybe

You wish

30 Aug 2012 22:04:08
I'm getting really frustrated watching this team struggle against Hearts. Carroll, had he been on the field, would have had a couple of goals tonight.
We're making a mistake loaning him out, we should be using Andy as a plan A or plan B - start the game and come off at 60m if its not working, or subbed at 60, playing him in the center with wingers outside him and an advanced AM right behind him. BR seems SO short-sighted with this, 'my way or highway' approach to 'style'. WE STILL DONT HAVE A GOALSCORER. I'd hate to see a real count of the chances we've ALREADY missed this season. Dont get me wrong, i think we're making progress, but this loan deal will come back and haunt us unless we secure a BETTER player than big andy before 11 tomorrow night, which is not going to happen. {Ed001's Note - how the hell can you say that? Carroll's problem was that he was never in the box for us. We are playing possession football, with a view to tiring out the opposition for the final 20min or so. Why would we then want to change to a plan b and make it easy for them just at the time plan a would take effect? If you knew the club you are claiming to support, you would know what we are trying to do now!}

How many goals has he scored since he arrived? even KK wasn't playing him last season and he paid out the money for him, he was a poor signing - end of, a panic buy at the end of the window should've just kept the 50 mil from chelski he's gone get over it he was never gonna fit in

Put your toys back in your pram soft ollies

If plan 'a' is not working there is no plan 'b' you just make plan 'a' better - it will work

Football and American football are games which revolve around the clock.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:03:12
Clint dempsey will not be signing for us said this weeks ago when I said agger would not be moving cheers

You do realise it would be much easier to confirm your previous info if you simply added a name at the end of your post. Otherwise all credibility is gone from the start.

the winds of change are sweeping in, Carragher, Gerrard & Reina last season.....young team for the future being built.
Transitional season with lots of youth & promise, next season a real challenge from a brand new LFC.
Adam, Cole, Spearing, Carroll all gone bar the shouting.
Assaidi, Sterling, Shelvey, Allen, Borini, Kelly, Coates, Henderson, Morgan plus the new kid from Germany, are the future.
ALB

Suso, lucas, suarez?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:01:38
David Gold (West Ham co-owner) has confirmed on twitter that there is an option to buy in the loan agreement. Hopeful this is compulsory if they stay up.

30 Aug 2012 22:01:20
allen, gerrard, downing, henderson and carra were fantastic in my opinion suarez was wastefull but his goal was great.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:00:29
Downing and Henderson quality
Pepe, pepe..., if we don't score goals he's going to cost us again this year
Saurez not at it, needs a finisher in there, but squad is looking a whole lot better and younger...
PistolPete

Downing and henderson quality? that was one dull game mostly because downing and henderson were playing, not for me thankyou very much!!

Suarez was dying with Morgan as his partner. When Sterling came on Suarez must have been relieved.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:00:15
What a player we have in Allen the kid is outstanding

Absolutly outstanding weve been due a good signing dont u think? Lol but he really is spanish im not joking xAvi-lite no joke

Doesnt hav xabi's range of passing but hes the closes thing we are going to get to a xabi in terms of him scheming from that position.

Whoever hit the disagree button I hope that was a mistake. This cat is class. Luis

Only Xabi has Xabi's range of passing...not even his Spanish teammates have it!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:59:51
after that performance 2nite we have to bring in a top goalscorer its getting so hard to watch us build the ball up to the final 3rd with no end product or finish.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:59:38
Allen was absolutely fantastic I cant think of anyone who had a bad game I bet all those who said he wasn't worth the money feel stupid now things are looking up we can only be positive. We have some fantastic youth players coming through already some fantastic players and a brilliant manager.

30 Aug 2012 21:59:31
Please buy a goalkeeper!!! Reina showed also last season that he is no more good enough!! Buy a young goalie and just do not waste little money in an overage goalkeeper!! We need to keep Charlie Adam as well, hendo and shelvey are so poor...2 strikers needed too...

Stupidest post Ive ever seen on this site. Which is saying something considering some of the sh*** people post on here.

Flubber

Hendo and shelvey rubbish! pipe down mate, have you watched the last few games? Shelvey is a different player under BR and Hendo looked solid tonight as well, remember that these guys are young. Playin in CM has to be one of the most difficult jobs, it takes a lot of discipline and these young lads are gonna be great! quit with your negativity mate, lets support our young lads

Keep Charlie? "Hendo and Shelvey are so poor"? Wow, really? I would recommend watching the games, it gives you so much more insight into how we play. I thought both were fine today and Jonjo did fine against Man City, so I am not too sure where you get that idea from.

Andy K

I would rather we have a bright young keeper making all the mistakes Reina is making as he would learn from them...Reina is regressing

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:56:31
all that match proved was that Morgan is about a season away from being ready.

i still think ngoo should be given his chance due to his physicality, pace and close ball control. He can play CF, SS, Wide Forward.

It might help if BR wasn't so insistent on playing Suarez - who in open play only ever seems to score from oblique angles - down the middle.

Morgan is a centre, not a wide forward / winger.

Half of the problem with our lack of goals is that we're playing strikers in wide positions, rather than creative players.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:55:32
Complacency.

We were not even in the game until Hearts scored. And this was largely the same team that played Man City on Sunday. I was sick hearing the opposition fans sing all night. Our own couldn't even be bothered.

Windows

We let a lot of oaps, parents and children in tonight at reduced prices hence a slight lack of atmosphere from our fans but these youngsters are our future fans hopefully that enjoyed the experience and will stay loyal to the red cause
marco

"We were not even in the game...", really? We were not on the score board, true, but we dominated the game overall. Complacency, maybe.

Andy K

Are you rubbishting me?

We were all over them and should have had about 3 goals. Whereas hearts had one flukey goal.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:55:25
why do we play so poorly against lower teams... But if Man City comes to visit, we play like a different team. Hopefully we'll play more like against ManCity in the future.

joet

Giving players game time who can't cut it against arsenal, focus on arsenal, saving strength for arsenal, suarez trying too hard to show off his t-shirt message (what did it say?).

It's easy to find reasons/excuses.

nearly every other game wihh Pepe
he lost it year before last

Pepe Reina is a disgrace lately, how does he start with no one even pushing him. He has been shocking lately and tonight even worse, what a howling mistake.

Just glad suarez is there to save the day, he needed a goal tonight tbh.

We need a GK to challenge pepe asap !

Shocking mess up from Reina without a doubt. Needs competitition? Sure. Ease of finding another quality goal keeper who is as comfortable with the ball at his feet? Not so easy.

Andy K

After the year is over, get Vorm in. He should do well at Liverpool.

30 Aug 2012 21:47:57
Our Reina has had nothing to do all night then makes a mistake like that. We should sell him, he is past his best and unreliable.

You do realise having nothing to do all night makes it HARDER to make saves, right?

To be honest tonights game was a must win and we jus scraped it even though we dominated for the full 90mins.

ACHILLES.

Tonight was always going to be tough, If we had put a weakened side out and lost the manager would be getting pelters. These players will still be fit for sunday.

As opposed to progressing in the Europa?! I don't get this "not taking Europa serious." Realistically, all we're trying to do this season is qualify for the Europa, so why not go for it while we're in it..Rome 77

Thomas

Burley is a fupping nob
Tommy.

Absolutely agree. I think he's looking for a job on Sky. He's bias against us is unreal as it was for mmost of last year. Surely LFCtv can do better

Well, we could always listen to waddle and his 'pelanties'...pretty much ALL the comentators have an anti liverpool bias. Alan smith is a total CLOWN CLOWN CLOWN, burley is smith-lite, even parry, a supposed reds fan, is appalling.

30 Aug 2012 21:39:07
too many back pass again.

Possession game pal consists of pass backs, id rather we hav the ball than the opposition and if pass backs is the way to go then so be it.

We are to pass teams into submission, once the play in the final 3rd is as precise and effective as the rest of the play we will score many goals. Suarez to be moved out wide left, Dempsey/Sturridge through the middle, Walcott on the right. The pride will be restored oh yes it will indeed.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:35:44
C'mon I cant believe we can't score against Hearts at home. Fortunately Hearts are even worse in the final third than we are at the moment.

Barring Allen and Downing no one else has come to play today. Gerard seems to have decided to take Hearts on himself now. Suarez is having a shocker by his standards.

Definitely need a goal poacher...ASAP please!

30 Aug 2012 21:34:30
Holy moly we're shocking at hitting the target tonight. Need to get a finisher in before the window closes.

-Shane.

Agreed, we need a poacher, and Carroll was never going to be that, he missed as many chances as the others in the past, people moaning he's gone but hopefully his replacement will do a strikers job and bang them in. Not taking 1 in 5 chances {Ed001's Note - Carroll had the most misses inside the penalty box of any Premier League player last season, including 25 missed headers.}

Geez. That's pretty horrid, Ed001. Good stats (or bad I guess).

All the best Big Andy at West Ham. I admire your desire to have wanted to stay and fight for your place. You showed the desire that sadly a few Liverpool players over the past few years have lacked (a certain glass foot Italian comes to mind.) Here's hoping you get a lot of game time and goals at WHUFC and show everyone why the majority of us LFC fans kept the faith and still keep the faith in you. Hope to see you back at Anfield next season stronger than ever. Good luck big man. YNWA.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:28:58
I'm watching the game and I'm really "excited" because now that big Andy has left, they all suddenly know how to cross a ball on small strikers but were unable to do so while he was on the pitch....tzzzz

Marc

LOL, too true. It's almost like they rediscovered crossing when they didn't have someone to aim at...geez.

To be fair, the problem was that Andy wasn't often enough in the actual box.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:27:30
today's guardian have a clasic Romario's goal some one show that to Suarez. Romario never shoot too hard to score a goal he look for perfect place perfect timing. Buy a striker BR suarez not a striker.


hhh

Well what is he then ? He is not quick enough to play out wide and injury free with a bit of luck he will score 15-20 goals and make numerous asists.
Give the lad some slack and watch.

the dark cloud has gone this is big andy carrol, and now hopefully charlie adam will be leaving aswell

That is disrespectful to two of our players who have given their all to LFC. You should be ashamed of yourself my no named friend

I'm sorry ppl but here comes a rant! Why oh why has BR sanctioned a loan deal for AC. This is shocking. He's signed a very average player in borini and signed a no body in assaidi and loaned out a striker who finally looked like he was happy, confident and playing well. Adam, yes he was a poor addition, Allen I like but surely now we are less potent up front?! All these rumours about huntelaar or llorente, these are both the same type of players as AC!! I rate them both but I wouldn't of let Carroll go in order to sign either of them. And apparently AC doesn't fit in to BR style. Well these players won't either then. And all this rubbish about Theo Wolcott. He is Garsh. No end product. Just fast. The guy should be a sprinter. Not a footballer! Dempsey, I like. Best Attacking midfielder last season. I just think that the fact that FSG haven't really backed BR financially has forced BR into poor additions to the squad and basically not adding to the squad with any ambition. I like BR and the style he brings. But BR has settled for average. Disappointing from FSG and BR! JAMIE

Relax.

we are signing sturridge on friday so chill out.

red jay

Couldn't disagree more, Carroll has a way to go to be of the level of Llorente or Huntelaar for that matter. Allen so far is giving the indication he may be the signing of the season, not just for LFC, but the league. Walcot has days he is fantastic and days he is awful. If he signs we can only hope we see his finer side more often than not. Dempsey if he signs is a fantastic footballer. All in all i think we are heading in the right direction.

Sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, person let the boss do hs work, YNWA

While i agree with u that AC shouldnt of let go, u must be crazy to compare him with llorente who is a much better n different player. and borini is 21 dont judge him after a few games n just coz assaidi is unknown to u doesnt mean he is a unknown just coz u are ignorant doesnt mean everyone else is. theo walcott regularly gets goals and assists. which is a mass improvement on our wingers

I think its probably best to reserve judgement until we see who actually comes in and there will be at least one striker comingin. Whilst AC did raise his game before the end of last season you cannot argue that he is the quick, mobile player who can play pass and go. He simply does not have the pace or manouverability required. He will probably do well at West Ham because they will play to his strenght. At the end of the day no top club were interested in him - that says it all.

Jamie, worst rant ever. You are a clown

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:13:39
Gutted about Carroll! BR said we wouldn't loan him!

BR says a lot of things he doesn't mean. I trust the man myself.

BR will say anything

Watch over the sesaon how his comments ebb and flow with what happens on the pitch

We lost integrity when we sacked Kenny
Maybe not today but someday we will realise that!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:12:50
What with all the talk of Llorente earlier, was that even possible on the dependency of Carroll being sold rather than loaned?

shelvey is slower then adam, morgan is never gona be as good as fowler or anywhere near the quality to play for lfc.RedTurk {Ed001's Note - based on one game? Clueless as ever. Rush was terrible for 3 years, thankfully we didn't have to put up with your whining then though.}

I'm sure I'll be right down the list of people having ago but your obviously a bell end lad
Tommy.

Shelvey is a better tackler, passer and has a better shot than adam and is also a lot younger than him and morgan is 18 and im sure he is a lot better than a lot of18 year olds out there

Must be a right miserable house where you live redturk ... get a grip ?
Tel 1949

Redturk have you ever actually played football , there both young good prospect's , shelvey played very good against city on Sunday , Morgan is a baby if you can not see he's got something at his age then the answer to my question is no .

LB

He is right though ed. Shelvey is so slow and has no impact on the game. Why can't people see that?

Neilp {Ed019's Note - What match did you watch?

Turk, why do supposedly support Liverpool? You've had a pop at every player just for the sake of it. Are you a wind up merchant or do you just hate the players?
Ultra red

Great great response Ed001's. first class.

RedTurk, your life must be unbearable!

An 18 y.o kid makes his first senior competitive start and you say this turk. It took young Morgan 10-15 minutes to settle down (pure adrenaline I'm sure) but the kid worked his socks off and his movement in the box was decent. He dropped deep and tracked back too. He put in a good shift. BR loves him because he grabs his lunch pail and goes to work. This kid will be a gem in a couple of years. I'm proud of our youngsters. Robinson, Sterling and Morgan have deserved their appearances.

Chi-Paul

Shelvey is faster than Adam

Morgan is good but its clear that he isn't ready

Samed Yesil might be more ready than he is.

Even for the academy morgan is made to look better by the players around him, for instance sterling who was constantly setting him up for tap ins. Please tell me what you can see in him that will make him into a quality player? hes not a michael owen nor is he a fowler, michael ngoo is a much better prospect and i dont see why he hasnt been given a chance to show it yet.RedTurk

Sorry just clicked agree jus so u know i was agreeing with ED001 lol

Redburk, thicker than a really big thick thing, nowhere near good enough to be supporting LFC...which he clearly doesn't. He's like that singer from go compare...everyone here is aware of him and despises him for being a compete tool

Flagg

Shelvey slower than Adam omg I know that how good you think a player is, is opinion but how fast someone is just wrong, by your judgement Tyson gay won the 100m race, just stupid.

Oh RedTurk, what a joy your life must be. Given ALL you ever offer or appear to feel is negativety, why do you watch or follow Liverpool? Surely if your scone is sore and bleeding you would eventually stop smacking your head against the wall? Just a thought.

Andy K

I think Neilp and redburk are one in the same...both produce an endless flow of dihorreahihey

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:08:44
Is that young German kid the lad that scored for Leverkusen at Anfield a few weeks ago ?
Liverpool's first team squad getting younger. Good to see. Keep it going Brendan. My 13 yr old nephew is available for half a mill...

If u read on the lfc site it says" samed yesil has come in the bolster the youth ranks"not for the first team yet.

West Ham have confirmed the signing of Andy Carroll on loan from Liverpool with a view to a permanent deal.

The Hammers have worked hard to do a deal for the England forward with Liverpool initially reluctant to do a loan deal for the man they paid £35million for last year.

But the newly-promoted side have persuaded the 23-year-old to move to London and confirmed they have an option to make the signing a permanent one for an undisclosed fee next summer.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:09:52
Can I just say if you don't shoot you don't score .

Jamesy

We did shoot......we did score...??????

MR EM

That's what suarez must have said to himself

Shoot must be creative and right place rather then too much power.

How can you disagree with that ?

My brother moans about that on fifa, yet he still doesnt shoot

Unless you're arsenal playing against Barca.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:05:32
eds carroll out on loan so no money, but he is off the wage bill

ins= dempsey and a sneaky loan singing

outs=adam joe cole

Dempsey and Sturridge.

I'm a little disappointed to be honest. Sturridge isn't good enough in my opinion. Dempsey has done well consistently for Fulham and he's been inspirational at times for them, so i feel he's earned the move.

In: Dempsey & Makepeace ?
Out: Adam & Joe from BBC 6 ?
:)

A Sneaky loan that is singing? Hope it ain't Ollie Murs.

30 Aug 2012 21:04:31
Carroll 100 per cent signed for west ham 2 million then if they stay up then a further 17 million, add this to the 3.5 million we save in wages we would of recouped 22.5 million for him which all in all is fantastic in my eyes! Philly lfc

Carroll has no intention of signing for WHU permanently.

Disney!

So we really only got 37.5m for Torres.

If they stay up .

How would you know walt?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:04:06
Evening Ed's

While I believe in what Rogers is trying to achieve.I have a grave reservation about letting AC go to West Ham . Unless we are going to pull off a major coup.I struggle to see where the goals will come from? El Pistolero is more of a creator.

I dont understand why we would loan out a 23 year old to possibly bring in a 29 yr old . Im confused by this ?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated .look in your crystal ball

REDFORLIFE {Ed001's Note - pointless keeping a player that is only going to be watching. He won't score many sat in the stands.}

I agree sell a player whose started to play well, no plan B just watched tonight's match got out of jail, take Suarez out couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo.
But hey see who we sign, we need a decent keeper by the look of things!!

Because we need a goalscorer now. Andy isn't it. We need someone who fits the system. And if you want young goalscorers with potential then look at Adam Morgan and Samed Yesil, both 18.

SpudRed

Maybe there's more than a 29 year old coming in.

Jag

Ed's more pointless not having a striker in the stands. In BR I Dont trust anymore!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:03:59
really happy that carroll has gone onloan to west ham,a side that will suit him. he ll do well increasing his value then can be sold at the end of the year. he was never gonna fit in brendans side , he just doesnt have the mobilty forit.

aubameyang and dempsey to sign tomorrow 8 and 6 million respectively

tom1975

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:03:46
Two more to come in, no doubt. Dempsey, as we all know is very likely. It would seem a pacey, versatile winger is something we are looking to add. Theo Walcott is a possibility..

Lets all enjoy the transfer deadline day, and enjoy all the bull sh*t sightings at John Lennon haha #wewantkenaguero

B.J

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:03:43
I have a sneak feeling that we will sign Dempsey and Llorente or Walcott tomorrow. Ill be so happy if we get any two of these players!!

Cheers

30 Aug 2012 21:03:20
Is there any real interest in Joe Cole? Would it not be better just to let him go on a free transfer just to save wages? He's not going to get in this team lets face it. Surely better to just get shut.

We are willing to let him go for free but no one is interested in paying his wage demands.

Whos goin to pay him £90,000 a week though? Hes not likely to half his wages just to secure a move and Liverpool would owe him his loyalty bonus so still wouldnt be a free transfer.

Ciario

Problem is, is any place going to pay as high wages for him as we are? Yes, your right, it would be better to get him off the wages but thing is, would we have to pay out the rest of his contract, or at least an amount of it, and if we did would he accept that if he was moving to a team paying him less Per week? One of the main reasons for most players (i'd say 90% of player) saying they want to fight for their place, they don't, they're just happy collecting the wage. Now I hope I'm wrong with Joe, but while I can name a few player who goes against that generalisation (bellers coming to us and going to Cardiff, Agger (he culd have got alot more from MCFC than we pay him)) many others are very happy to sit back and take the money, especaily players who have got used to sitting on the sidelines. You can say I'm wrong, and just a cynic but thats how I see it.

30 Aug 2012 20:38:13
Hi Eds could you please clarify this for me... Thought all incoming business depends on Carroll going? Dempsey covered by sale of Spearing and Adam.
Now with AC going on loan only, does this now mean nothing coming in? Looking at Jan window and this summers, FSG have not spent money, seems all so far covered by PL money, SKY TV money, Warrior and Standard Chartered money, plus offloading Aqua, Maxi and Kuyt.

Is this is then self funding and as Carroll not sold nothing else in... Isn't this reducing a squad to much, are you as worried as me by this? {Ed001's Note - not worried at all, I fully expect replacements to come in.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:36:53
Hi Eds, couple of quick questions - Brendan said in his interview we cant afford to have wingers on 5-6 million a year - Does that mean Downing and Cole are both available? and is anyone interested in Downing? And what is the asking price

thanks for any response and thank you for running a fantastic site {Ed001's Note - I thought he said reserves wingers? Cole was always available, Downing is not.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:36:30
A lot of people sounding worried about Carroll going BR is no mug I'm pretty sure he has a replacement lined up

Scouse born Irish red

can anyone tell me was there any mention of the young Irish lfc fan at de game tonight who tragically died over the weekend
YNWA

No disrespect, but I dont understand what you are saying. Someone who died at the weekend was at the game today...?

Piledriver

Young lad was a true Red. May God keep him in the palm of his hand.
RIP YNWA.

I didnt notice anything mate
(irishred)

Not sure if there was any mention of him, but the club wrote to his family. Obivously didn't say what was in the letter but did let it be known the club was writing to the family.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:36:16
Allen is a magnificent player!

I've been very impressed by him. He just keeps the ball moving.

Allen is the best buy of BR.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:34:28
Shelvey is so poor its untrue. Really can't see any quality

Neilp

If you can't see any quality in Shelvey, then you see a qualified optician.

- Something Red -

Youve got to be joking?

You are a complete tool..
shelvey is excellant, real good prospect.
thought he did fine, no real mistakes.

dbadger..

He was brilliant against City.

Zero

Shelvey man of the match for me. Do a search on NeilP and you'll find nothing but negative drivel

cozinoz

You have no clue, don't embarrass yourself any further

Shelvey played great, you was watching a different game mate.

Think hes played really well in the games so far this season. Think he plays much better with allen in the team, and his range of passes tonight was good.

I'm so sorry to hear that... When did you go blind? Is it perminant or will your sight return in due course?

Maybe try & watch another sport then? darts maybe?

What a load of nonsense

Are u for real shelvey a great player and in a few years will be a fantastic player u crank.

ACHILLES.

He was one of our best players.

Did you even watch the game you doughnut! Apart from Joe Allen, Shelvey was liverpool's best player tonight, can't think of him missing a pass, unlike Gerrard!

Go watch the Citeh game from Sunday and, for that matter watch the hearts game from tonight again. Shelvey is getting, stepping up, and rapidly improving.

SpudRed

What are you on crystal meth! He is a quality player, with the likes of Allen, Borini, Suarez, Sterling and Assaidi all of small stature Jonjo is a good ball winner an gets himself about giving the little guys a bit of protection...another year of a good run of games and he will be up there with the best of them.....

SparkyRed

He done well today and u blame him now ?

I saw quality passes today and Sunday - the guy fits the system and will only improve into class midfield player in years to come

Have you not been watching any of the games he's played EVER?

Try sitting facing the game next time. You might see then. Shelvey was excellent tonight.

Then your obviously stupid
Tommy.

Wow some people amaze me, how can you not see his quality. Have a word Ed001 i know you understand.

Neilp cannot feel embarrassment, he got used to being a tool from a very young age and now is in his element

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:33:39
After turning up for City, I see the struggling against weaker teams Liverpool is back tonight.

JD

Maybe Hearts are a better team than City?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:31:27
i think andy carrol going on loan is stupid . brendan even said he'd be nuts if he let carroll go on loan and what does he do, he puts him on loan to a poor club in west ham

Loan (and here come the key words) with a view to buy.

He meant he'd be nuts letting Pardew take the piss by signing him on loan. The deal we now have is not too bad, save wages, there is a loan fee and if he gets goals there will be around £17m coming our way. Better than seeing Ashley's bloody slimy grin mate

I think what BR meant, was that he would be nuts to send him out on loan to Newcastle, after they had ripped us off the previous year when he moved from St James Park to Anfield.

He said he'd be nuts to let him go on loan without a replacement.

He said hed be nuts to let him go to Newcastle on loan mate.

Mate it's probably with a signing clause at the end of the season.

with funds for a replacement promised if he can convince Carroll to take Westham's offer.

Dempsey will come in to replace the likes of Spearing, Adam and Cole in midfield.

And a replacement for AC would be additional to Dempsey. like Llorente, walcott, or Aubemayang.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:29:48
Big andy has gone is it just a loan or to buy if west ham stay up? Thanks
Red sheep.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:01:47
hey ed, read earlier on that the stumbling block for the arrival of new singings is mainly the issue of wage and not there being a lack of transfer funds. so wouldn't the loaning out of carroll and spearing free up wages for new transfers? or would their return after 12/6 months mean that the issue of wages is still there?

Thanks ed! {Ed001's Note - impossible to say, they might make their moves permanent. I don't have a crystal ball.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 21:01:08
I'd just like to say I think Brendan Rodgers has made a BIG mistake sending Andy Carroll on loan to WHU. Yes, maybe we are saving money in wages but he was a great player and was just starting to come into his own at the back of last season. I don't agree that he can't play ''Rodgers style of play'' that's rubbish he could have played as the centre front man with Suarez and Borini on the flanks or sterling, assaidi either way he would of got goals. He is not just a head he's also good with his feet! Anyone agree? I'm disappointed :(

Guttered RED jay!

Hock the mother-in-law, hock the family silverware, hock Fenway Park, hock Mrs Henry ...hock anything that will raise the cash for an out and out striker!

Wow. Why aren't you our manager?

MAN!! listen you are not the manager.

The owners brought BR in to bring success and identity back to LFC let him do his job.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:59:15
ed001 i rate borini cause he reminds of me of kuyt may not score alot of goal but he does work hard anyway any news bout dempsey and do u expect sum1 big 2 sign 2morrow thanks lfc ullah {Ed001's Note - I expect Dempsey and another, not sure who.}

Borini is better than kuyt.dirks problem was he d score 10 goals in 10 games and then none in 40.very inconsistant.borini has better control and has more of a football brain,just my opinion sean dundee's next door but ones neighbour

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:59:11
Quick question Ed's regarding the Carroll deal. Is there an option to buy next summer, as a website are reporting there is but other sources are saying Carroll wouldn't agree to it? And if there is a clause, will it automatically kick in if West Ham stay up?
Cheers lads,
Unagi {Ed001's Note - I don't know for sure yet.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:58:17
So, Carroll has gone on loan to West Ham has he? I didn't think he would end up there if I'm honest!

Either way, good luck Andy!

K.Bennett

At least it stops newcastle from screwing us over

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:58:17
any luck on cole being shipped out to west ham? or will his injury stop any deal altoghter can he still pass a medical u think?

How the****is Joe Cole injured? He doesn't move fast enough to get injured.

30 Aug 2012 20:57:39
Do we have any detail of Andy Carrolls loan move? loan fee and fee for signing him if they stay up etc? Percentage of wage being paid? Not happy about tonight so far consistency is a must this year......out n out goalscorer needed!

Who cares about the details, let others worry about the finances, they get well paid for it.

Full wage paid by WHU, season long, £1million loan fee, option to buy

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:57:32
Carroll deal done just announced on ESPN live, think this is what Andy needs time to get to know the Prem better and learn and to mature

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:57:24
Hope we are going to sign somebody else besides Dempsey I can't see how just Dempsey replacing Carroll would make us stronger fingers crossed for a decent replacement {Ed001's Note - Dempsey being a far better player would mean it makes us stronger to be fair.}

Dempseys 20+ goals last season for a mediocre fulham side would disagree with you!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:56:22

Nahh just joking just thought we were missing this rumour in this window lool.

There's probably a few out there who still think Aguero might arrive this window...his injury is just a smokescreen.

I can't believe we have signed Samed Yesil. He is an awesome talent! I am impressed with BR's signing thus far.

30 Aug 2012 20:53:08
Eds seeing as Carroll has only signed on loan what does that say about the possibility of signing other players? I thought we had to sell Carroll to buy?

Dan {Ed001's Note - please don't take literally what is said by clubs. West Ham were claiming the deal for Carroll was not going to happen, less than an hour before they signed him. It is a high stakes game of poker, with bluffs and double bluffs galore.}

Maybe Liverpool wanted them to keep it quiet until the deal was complete. that way the Carroll deal wouldn't be exposed into a media frenzy

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:52:51
Don't understang us loaning out AC then possibly buying Loriente. Loriente is a few years older and slightly taller than AC. AC is actually quite skillful on the ball so why would we be better off with Loriente?

We're not getting llorente

Are you for real?? Have you seen them both play?

Not sure about Loriente but Llorente is one of the best all round players that I have seen in over forty years of following the game. Currently, and I do not mean to be disrespectful to Andy but comparing Carroll to Llorente is akin to comparing Henderson to Gerrard. One has potential but the other is the finished article.

Unfortunately and with the utmost regret, I think it most unlikely that we will be able to tempt, let alone afford Llorente, who at this stage of his career will likely want a realistic opportunity of winning the Champions League.

Llorente is a goal scorer, fast, strong (which carroll isn't not on his feet anyway)

he is more mobile, higher profile and is actually worth £35m.

Ed's is it true that we are highly linked to Llorente {Ed001's Note - linked, yes. Probably means nothing though, unfortunately.}

But are we showing interest is the better question?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:48:44
Downing superb, Suarez woeful..........what's going on?

cozinoz

Suarez - Takes 10 wasteful chances to produce 1 bit of magic. Just check his stats.

Are we watching the same game?
You shudda gone to specsavers !!

Suarez still scored though.

Woeful and still scoring and saving us from further media scrutiny that's what strikers are there for.

not for the way they play or pass but for goals. be happy. with that message on his chest he made sure that he was going to score

Whaaaaaaaat?! Downing is poo
Tommy.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:48:31
So Big Andy has signed for the Hammers.....we better not balls up bringing in his replacement.

Samed Yesil has the makings of a scoring legend. The future is looking good....its the now that worries me.

wtf were replacing carroll with this random youngster what is the point of sending carroll on loan! doesn't free up much funds and we lose a decent striker who can add something different unbelievable

Transfer window still open ya fool!

A random youngster tell you don' t know your footy much .

LB

He's not the replacement you wally he'll be signed tomorrow

He's not Carrols replacement.He is aiming to be in first team squad in about 2 years. One for the future.

30 Aug 2012 20:44:15
Wow, Suarez has been completely and utterly useless so far tonight. :/

I hear liverpool fc are signing Sturridge

Sorry disagree yeah had a few chances wouldn't say he is useless.

Al

Thats why The Kop are all singing his name!

Spoke too soon

Perhaps I did speak too soon. A great finish for the goal - though if he'd played well throughout, we wouldn't have been in the position of needing it so desperately either.

I'm just glad this was a cup match, and not in the league, where his profligacy would have cost us points.

Not to be too negative though - we're through, after all!

hey eds

with carroll nearing his loan move to west ham?
does this mean liverpool have to review their targets and have lower budgets?

or does this mean no changes as his salary is gone?

thanks

redman {Ed001's Note - as far as I can find out, we will still be going for the same players.}

Ed 001 which are?

dempsey, walcott any more names?

With Carroll on loan freeing up wages without an up front transfer fee can you see us splashing out on another striker as well as Dempsey?

thanks in advance

Eds...why hasn't Agger started the hearts match? {Ed001's Note - because he will be facing Arsenal.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:39:33
Not sure what funds we have, but reports that Big Andy and Jay Spearing are going on loan just doesn't make sense. Following Macca's comments about selling first before we can buy. why let all 20m plus that could be used on Dempsey and Wallcot - go out on loan. Plus BR saying he would be a "nutcase" to loan big Andy?
5teve

I believe he said he would be a nutcase to do so without a proper replacement...

Because players are bought in installments mainly.

He may have meant loaning a player to one of our nearest rivals to 4th spot.Still, I bet he regrets saying it.

REDBILL 16 {Ed001's Note - he was referring to Newcastle specifically.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:39:18
if carroll goes and we dont get a replacement will we have the option to recall if there are injuries and suspensions?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:39:10
carroll loan confirmed on lfc website

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:28:17
If Macca is correct which I don't doubt, why are we considering loaning Carroll of we need the money to make incoming transfers? We have already loaned Spearing and will not get a great amount for Adam why are the club such mugs in the transfer windows (Carroll £35m, Downing £17m, Adam £10m, Henderson £15m) all of these players seem to have halved in value in 1 season - although I think Henderson will turn out to be a good signing.
Dgb79

Henderson is the only one with any promise, king kenny and commoli must have been smoking some seriously strong rubbish

If we sell him now we take a huge hit and would be lucky to get £15 ml from the few clubs that might be interested.

If he does well in West Ham playing a sytle of football that suits him, alot more clubs will be interested in him in a year and the price will go up. We need him in the shop window.

In the mean time he is fully or part off the wage bill, his wages must be large so that allows other palyers to come in.

Fitzy

Don't exaggerate Adam was £6.5. Get over it it's not your money. You win some you loose some. Just support those that's lucky enough to play for us this season.
The hat.

I think the issue isn't with needing the money from a transfer FEE to fund another fee, i think the problem was unloading a few of the bigger wages on the books before committing to new large wage packets.

Thank you, someone who sees that Henderson will be another Lucas!!! Although, Downing looked interesting as a left back!

No wrong, Henderson and Coates.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:27:13
Eds I'm confused, for the past couple of weeks it has been suggested we need to sell before we buy, but now spearing is loaned and maybe even Carroll getting loaned and Adam possibly not going anywhere does this me no more newcomers? Macca even confirmed this earlier. We will all agree we need a striker I'm getting concerned that this won't happen now.
Cheers

Ryan Babel has bought out his contract and is now a free agent - he can be signed by anyone at any time. I have also just seen Dani Pacheco in the stands so e's going to have to move fast if he is going back to Spain before the transfer deadline.

It doesnt take too long to get to any of the clubs in the championship, so dont worry about Pacheco.

Does no one else think that loaning AC is the best possible thing. We get a striker back who will be match fit on view to the rest of the world if he needs to be sold or we get a striker back that is a year older and wiser and can fit into the team

He is not going to learn how to fit into Rogers footballing style playing for West Ham put it that way

Absolutely. Long ball garbage is how west ham play. Not exactly tiki tiki tatty.... Whatever the bloody hell it is

Hi Eds, I thought the whole point to selling carrol was to allow us to bring in Dempsey and another striker...

If he's going on loan then we wouldnt have the funds to buy both dempsey and a new striker, so we will have another attacking midfielder and only Borini as an out and out goalscorer? Am i mistaken? {Ed001's Note - yes.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:17:35
Carrol out with dempsey in.no big signings believe dempsey will be the sole arrival.
Agm

Would any one in their right minds swap Dempsey for Carroll? Well I wouldn't. It annoys me how people on here say we can't afford to keep a £35 m striker on the bench, even BR is saying it, Firstly AC is not a £35m player, he is 15m-20m player. It's not his or BR's fault we paid so much for him. So please stop this £35 million player bit. He would have been worth keeping in the right price bracket. what other English striker his age could you buy for 15m

Bobbinred {Ed001's Note - anyone in their right mind would! It is madness to suggest Carroll is as good or close to the level of Dempsey.}

Cant wait to see morgan play tonight

andy c has went to west ham on a season long loan with maybe chance of a signing next season to be frank hope he dosent bite us in the butt disappointed to be truthful

Well it shouldn't bite us on the butt this season as he can't play against us as he is still a Liverpool player.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:03:20
i guess the next question you are going to have to answer a million times now ed is will caroll be banned from playing against us while he is on loan? lol {Ed001's Note - I do wish people would just take the time to read the rules, especially commentators and pundits! They talk so much crap and people think they must know what they are talking about, half the time they are wrong.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 20:02:43
hey Ed's , great work guys.

How exactly does AC's loan to west ham free up immediate funds for other signings? I understand we won't have to pay his wages.. but what about cold hard cash to pay for the likes of dempsey / llorente ( We live in hope! )

Thanks {Ed001's Note - we get a loan fee and we get space in the squad too.}

Space in the squad, Brendon has already stated the squad is a bit thin on the ground. I think Brendons veiw is very narrow minded Tika Taka is the only way he want's to play. it just won't work, I'm not talking about plan B but he and all premiership clubs need flexibility.

Brendan Rodgers asked in the match preview before the Europa League game against Hearts by the interviewer, "On this most important of days, can you explain why Andy Carroll isnt in the squad?"

BR replies, "Well umm...its very simple. He's at West Ham having his medical"

Fair play to Rodgers for being so open lol

The guy is a class act and pure legend

LTP

Its good that he seems to be honest with the players. From what i have heard from him he just tells them how it is. If they don't fit into his plans they know their days are numbered at LFC and they can plan for a career at another club.

Think we can all agree on one thing . You'll never walk alone big andy Carroll .

Do you think if he does well at west ham we could recall him or do you think it's a done deal to sign for the hammers . I wouldn't like to be a midfielder at west ham it's just long ball sh1te .

Jamesy

Andy Carroll is not a route one centre forward, it's not what he is used to, they certainly didn't do that at Newcastle. {Ed001's Note - you never watched Chris Hughton's team then! You are talking complete nonsense, that is exactly what Newcastle did.}

30 Aug 2012 19:57:54
Hi eds,

If Carroll goes on loan with 100% of his wages paid by the loanee club would that mean we could move for someone else (for example Llorente), or is the transfer fee generated from his sale the only way we could bring another striker in (excepting Dempsey)? Is it an issue of clearing payroll or having up front cash? Thanks much.

SpanishChris {Ed001's Note - clearing the payroll will be enough to allow us to make signings.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 19:56:52
Can you tell us if we will sign another striker,if carroll leaves,as it leaves us with just borini and suarez.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 19:56:37
Don't get the Dempsey thing- where will he play? He is not a striker so that means he will take the AM position. So where does that leave Stevie G? {Ed001's Note - he can play as a striker or on either side of a striker.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 19:50:07
Regardless of money if we let Carroll go for sale or loan a replacement is a MUST dempsey plus a striker it's vital we can't have two strikers that's insane! I'm getting nervous.

Square tomato

I've just said that, if we don't get some strikers in fast, we are up rubbish creek, I can't believe we have left it this late, have we not learnt our lesson, you would have thought fsg would have got it sorted before now, it's crazy.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 19:49:40
Andy Carroll going to West Ham on loan?? No cash for him or Spearing? Ok his wages can go to a replacement but is this really true? £35 million & allowed to go to West Ham on loan?

The problem is nobody wants to match his wages. If he's not going to take a cut, what do you expect to happen?

We have made some horrendous errors in the transfer market and they're all coming home to roost.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 19:48:43

While i have no confidence in Brendan Rodgers so far due to our on the pitch performances and results, I do like the fact that he is getting rid of some of the dead wood like Carroll, Spearing, Kuyt, Maxi, Bellamy etc. Its a good start but please god we really need to also get rid of Henderson, Downing and Adam. Rodgers has already left out Adam, Carroll, Henderson, Downing, Adam and Carragher so its obvious they are not in his plans, Not good enough for our club anyway, Carragher needs to retire, He should of walked away 3 seasons ago. This season might not be so bad after all. Sean

One more thing, I hope that if Adam goes to make the money we need for Dempsey, that if we do need another midfielder then we give Coady a game !

we swapped torres for saurez and got carroll thrown in.
even if we sell him for 15 million, put 5 million to and get a real quality player like llorente or hunterlaar, i for one would be made up.
looking at rodgers line up with morgan starting, that must be a massive kick in the knackers for carroll hes defiantly going, just hope we bring in some real class as his replacement

Llorente has endured a torrid couple of months at Athletic as he continues to train with the team despite making it clear he wants to move on.

He has 10 months remaining on contract and they are refusing to budge from their buy-out clause valuation of £30million.

Llorente is an amiable character and is facing a tough time off the pitch with fans and the general public if he fails to secure a move before Friday night.

He would love to come to England and the likes of Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool would surely benefit from his presence.

He is aware Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers speaks Spanish, likes the idea of playing before an appreciative crowd and would consider a move even though they are not in the Champions League.

The problem is until Andy Carroll is sold, Liverpool do not have enough money to bid. City like him a lot also but Llorente believes he will be forced to stay in Spain until January.

Buy out clause price is £28.5m. Furthermore, he's desperate to go and they're desperate to sell. £20m could see him move AND for me he would be the bargain of the window. World-class long term replacement, unlike Dempsey(who I would be more than happy with) who is a good short term replacement. And yes, before anyone says, Llorente really is that much better than big Andy. He's a top class finisher, with brilliant movement and a bit of pace- hes no Theo Walcott or Daniel Sturridge pace wise but hes certainly three times the speed of Andy. Finally someone who can keep on the same wavelength as our Luis.

Hopefully he can get him playing though because that has been a problem area for a while now.

30 Aug 2012 19:30:25
Is carroll on insane amt. of wages or something ?
else why r we interested in loaning him . We either need the player or money generated from his sales. If he is not part of rodgers future plans sell him or if we r not able to then keep him.
we r extremely short on numbers in our striking dept. anyways
any injury and there would be havoc.

No the law clearly states that If a club loans out andy Carroll, they are forbidden to buy theo walcott

Yes its rule 47 paragraph 3 subclause 8 of the Football Club Transfer Window Law Handbook.
I thought everyone new that!

Any news on Suso contract? I think he looks a cracking prospect. He should be getting a run in the team like sterling

 

 

30 Aug 2012 19:23:48
Why the hell are we letting carrol go on loan with no commitment to buy? Doesent make sense to let a 35m striker go on loan with no commitment to buy? Very strange me thinks, no fee well big fee stupit if u ask me

 

 

30 Aug 2012 19:23:37
Carroll going on loan - hence no cash coming in, so BR is playing Morgan instead of Carroll tonight - not even on the same planet as a player as Carroll, good potential but that's all.
As no money coming in I am assuming that means no more signings - or was BR telling porkies and there is money available without sales, well we'll no if we have a manager with integrity or not in the next 26 hours.

Hello Ed's

This site is All ready being bombarded with who will and who wont come. Any chance the owners having a thought to themselves and putting in abit more money because Carroll and these deadwood guys wont leave permanently

Thanks
GAM {Ed001's Note - they have never had an issue with helping fund the club's return to the top, the issue was that the squad was clogged up with unwanted players. They needed to be removed first.}

There are 4 main players that will play a huge role in how we see out this transfer window. spearing, adam, carroll, cole. If we move them then we will try to bring in 3 players. but the sale of carroll really holds most value in our plans to bring in fresh attacking players.

This is what liverpool hope can happen from now until the transfer window closes.

Spearing - out on loan saving us £2.5m (done)

Cole - out on loan for a season freeing up £3m (or sold freeing up £7m)

Adam - £5m (3-4 PL clubs interested)

Carroll - £15m (only one option but hoping this goes down)

Pacheco and Wilson out on loan saving another £3m + Doni leaving on free, freeing up another £2m

*= about £30m+

£6.5m used to buy Clint Dempsey

£17m used to buy Fernando Llorente (plus a few million in add-on fees later)

leaving £8m to spend on another attacker which is needed with Downing being moved to Left wing back.

That attacker will be Saint-Etienne striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for a fee of £8m (10m euros)

although I am not so certain on him so but even without him we'd have enough striking power. However we would need him for Europe as Llorente and Assaidi are both cup tied leaving us only Suarez and Borini.
.....

That will leave us with a first team squad of 24 players
4 strikers; LLORENTE, suarez, BORINI, AUBAMEYANG
2 wingers; ASSAIDI, sterling
7 midfielders; gerrard, ALLEN, SAHIN, DEMPSEY, shelvey, henderson, lucas (injured)
4 main fullbacks; johnson, enrique, kelly, downing
4 main CBs; skrtel, agger, coates, carragher
3 goalies; pepe, jones, gulacsi.

I dont want to put a hole in your bucket mate,but what happens after their loan period and they end up back at liverpool with no buyers?

Liverpool striker Andy Carroll is in London to finalise a season-long loan move to West Ham. No commitment to buy.

#WHUFC will cover Carroll's wages - all of them. And #LFC will get a £1m loan fee.
Ben Smith

Eds what is the point?! Surely it would have been better to get approx. 13m for him rather than send him out and recieve 1m. We might as well have kept him unless the loan move frees up wages which can go towards a replacement striker. {Ed001's Note - no one was willing to pay 13m.}

Reported on BBC live that Andy Carroll is off to West Ham on a year loan with no option to buy.

Carroll done deal to west ham. West ham to pay all of carroll's wages for the full season loan, and Liverpool will receive £1million

There is also no commitment to buy, with a bit of luck he will score loads and want to come back. Lol

Hold the Back Page:
Liverpool striker Andy Carroll is in London to finalise a season-long loan move to West Ham. The 23-year-old England international is expected to undergo a medical in the next few hours before completing a move to London. It is understood there is no commitment to buy the player at the end of the loan period but it should allow Liverpool to free up funds to move for Fulham striker Clint Dempsey.

30 Aug 2012 19:10:09
Just throwin this out there. If Newcastle make an acceptable bid for Andy at 10.45...surely Newcastle will be a stronger team and we will be left without time to find a replacement. So it is in their best interest to bid very late, thus having a better shot at 4th spot! Is this correct and above board??

If Carroll signs for West Ham if signs for em, tough rubbish on Newcastle for takin the piss. He or the club can't change their mind if Newcastle bid at that time, which they won't if he's a West Ham player.

Hi Fellow LFC fans

We cant have it all ways, on one hand we want players to be loyal, want them to stay with us and rebuke them when they decide to leave e.g. Torres, Mascherano, Mireles and on the other hand when we get players who want to stay and fight for the club we also have a go,

I just dont understand?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 19:06:28
While i have no confidence in Brendan Rodgers so far due to our on the pitch performances and results, I do like the fact that he is getting rid of some of the dead wood like Carroll, Spearing, Kuyt, Maxi, Bellamy etc. Its a good start but please god we really need to also get rid of Henderson, Downing and Adam. Rodgers has already left out Adam, Carroll, Henderson, Downing, Adam and Carragher so its obvious they are not in his plans, Not good enough for our club anyway, Carragher needs to retire, He should of walked away 3 seasons ago. This season might not be so bad after all. Sean YNWA.

hey...

WHAT A RUBBISH LINE UP...........

and.......

we havent won a game in the premiership.....surely we should save the better players for arsenal!

this team tells you...goodbye to adam and carroll....and secondly it shows a very THIN SQUAD.. what do u rekon eds?

red lobster

I'm confused? This line up is a mix between obvious starters and squad players ..... And save players for the weekend? It's the end of August not the April... Fatigue is not going to be an issue for athletes in what will be closing in on peak physical condition for the season.

Honestly why does someone always need to moan about something.

Iain YNWA

Well I think you are a prat

A rubbish line up?? Have you been sniffing something ? Really I despair.

Mike S

BBC _ Carrol in London finalising a season long lone move.
RNred

Will you go and take your bad negative attitude for a swim in the Mersey please..nowt but complaining...what would you rather?, we spend all our money on a 50 mill player perhaps and end up like Rangers.....go back to FIFA 2012 and give it a rest

The only thing rubbish about this line up is downing, for crying out loud BR is trying to get the team to play his way, why should he make 7 or 8 changes, the more they play together the quicker we will become his team
i bet you were one of those who used to whinge when rafa kept changing the team

Sahin, Asaidi and probably Dempsey to come. I think that's fairly decent, as you have to remember BR is actually givin youth a chance.

Papa G

 

 

30 Aug 2012 19:01:15
spearing the ugly rubbishe, why couldn't he just accept he's not good enough for us ad get a permanent move away. Would've given us a bit of money in the transfer pot.

Unfortunately I think noone was willing to offer decently money for him. He isn't good enough for premiership football so what championship side would cough up 3m+? So a loan must have been the only option. Undoubtably we will have the same problem in 6 months

DJ

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:59:23
Why do you think BR wanted to flog Carroll & Agger? He needed to free up some funds for his transfers. The club were expecting to use the proceeds of a Suarez sale to fund this summer's transfers, but BR begged the board to keep Suarez on so money had to be freed up from elsewhere. Adam & Carroll are playing hardball and sitting on their fat salaries that was handed to them by Kenny. Unless Carroll gets his move to Newcastle he will not be going anywhere and that means there will be no more incomings for Liverpool. I heard Newcastle have only offered £10m upfront for AC. AC and Newcastle have Liverpool by the balls. There's no point selling Downing as the club still owe Aston Villa most of his fee. Adam & Spearing will only raise a few million. Liverpool fans will not like to hear this, but Kenny has put you back a couple years with his poor spending.

Disney!

Hate to say it but I think there is quite a lot of truth in this, even though I think Comolli and the Board who believed in his way of thinking need to take some of the blame too, shame it had to come from our old friend Sydney!

dmedly

I seem to recall most people who go on about carroll never being worth 35m have said he`s not worth 15m so why on earth should newcastle pay any more

Bag of balls we owe villa nothing G

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:59:13
The Llorente rumours don't seem real at all. It is just the media linking us with another back up to Carrol. Few days ago it was Sturridge, then it was we had signed Huntelaar, now it is that we are after Llorente. The thing is that I am not surprised we are being linked with him because EVERY CLUB IS! The funny thing is that he probably won't even go anywhere at the end of the window. I see rodgers bringing in Dempsey and one more surprise if Carrol leaves. Also, where did these Aubameyang rumours come from? Geezz, people are just throwing names out now for the sake of it. Just one and a half more days guys. hang on

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:59:07
SSN carrying 2 LFC stories at the mo. 1, Stoke look likeliest to sign Spearing, thought he had already signed on loan at Bolton, and 2, The more concerning one that AC was close to a loan deal to WHU, and this after BR came out and said only last week that no way would we consider a loan for a player we paid £35 mill for. Now I know SSN aren't 100% infallible, but is this case of smoke with no fire. I hope at least number 2 ain't correct, as that would mean BR tells porkies, and that doesn't sit well with me.

Was thinkin the same myself mate..but seems like nobody wants to pay what we want for him and BR's hand has been forced

Edd's

If as SSN are reporting AC and Jay are only going on loan where is the money going to come from for their replacements? By the way I am fully behind Brendan Rodgers can see that he is slowly bringing in and through the youth systems all good quality young players with a great hunger to succeed.It may take three or four years but these players will know each others game inside out and will be reaching the peaks of their careers ( Borini,Allen Lucas,Shelvey,Suarez Sterling e.t.c )

Cheers Edd's.Great site, Totally addictive.

JR Red. {Ed019's Note - Getting rid of wages is the main thing

I'd say it means the owners are willing to take a punt and hope we can sell them both later to recoup what they'll have to outlay out of pocket now to get replacements.

Not ideal, but probably better than the thought of keeping what we had...

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:54:18
Someone mentioned early about LFC being 3rd in transfer spending to the tune of £412m. I thought it would be interesting to look at the NET spending over a 6 year period.

The 2006-2012 6 year NET Spend

Man City NET £411.37m. yearly £68.56m
Chelsea NET £342.01m. yearly £57.01m
Liverpool NET £106.61m. yearly £17.77m
Man Utd NET £102.65m. yearly £17.11m
Spurs NET £ 75.75m. yearly £12.625m
Arsenal NET £-(48.6m) yearly £-(8.1)m

Obviously, Citeh are supposed to be spending again over the next few days, Spurs too.
We have used our budget and are going to sell in order to buy more.

Point of note for those saying FSG aren't spending money on transfers;
LFC average over 6 years is £17.77m, whereas FSG have a net spend of £60m in 2 seasons, averaging £30m a season. They are trying.

SpudRed

They are trying, but, Kenny really put a spanner in the works.

just hope we manage to sell carroll and adam and bring in llorente and dempsey.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:53:56
Eds if reports are correct and AC going to west ham on season long loan, how exactly does that free up cash to bring in Dempsey or a Walcott or whoever ? As I thought BR had to sell to buy, please explain ed
Many thanks
Boofs bro {Ed001's Note - wages! It saves wages, plus brings in a loan fee.}

Carroll loan - £2m loan fee + £3.8m in wages = £5.8m

Spearing loan - £1m + £1.5m wages = £2.5m

Adam - £5m

= £13.3m

trying to get pacheco and wilson out on loan which would save us another £3.5m in total (including loan fees)

= £16.8m

Letting Doni leave on free saving another £2m

= £18.8m

cole on loan saving another 3m wages plus £1m = £4m

= £22.8m

which is enough to bring in

llorente £17m plus £3m add ons

dempsey £6m

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:52:59
So we are letting 35 million pound andy Carroll go to west ham on loan and we will probably still be paying most of his wages. However we have brought in injury prone Sahin on loan and paid Madrid a fee of a few million pound plus all of his wages with no chance to buy the player...we are an absolute soft touch, who on earth is running this once great club?.

Ferryhill Red. {Ed001's Note - 1.6m loan fee and they pay 70% of his wages, so stop whining, the Sahin deal is fantastic.}

Sorry have to comment on this, for the first time in years i am optimistic that the club is going in the right direction with both players and business, lets trust the manager he has got most things right so far and i think that most fans would agree we look better than we have for ages lets trust the team to produce both on and off field.ray3037

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:51:26
just heard that carroll will be going on lone to west ham.
do not see the point in putting in a buy out clause.

what if carroll has a great season which i believe he could with big sam style of play he will be the focal point again.

this time next year rodders we could have our 35 back. and rub it in newcastle's face.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:51:22
Andy carrol is a lazy lie about, he is sitting on his high wages its clear our manager doesent want him so why are fans so for him u seen what it could be like with passimg performance against man city. He comes on loud cheer furst thing he dine was play a pass out of play. Back our manager and not a player that is sitting on massive wages and when ur boss says to you ur third choice and to stil say i want to fight is incredible. Andy carrol is one thing a money grabber he aint interested in football its all money with him. Andy carrol get out of liverpool football club!

Carroll on loan to West Ham. This is ridiculous. Adams looks like he'll be a loan, Spearing already is. We can't buy any more players unless these three are sold - not loaned out.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:42:14
Who do you think we're seriously interested in and would move for if we could shift our dead wood? Some decent money available if everything went our way.

Carroll - 18/20m
Adam - 4/5m
Downing -10/12m
Cole -1/2m


Possible
33/39m + apx. 15m in saved wages for the season.
Which is a lot of £ to have not getting into our first 11.

Dempsey, Llorente, Walcott ? Is this who we will sign or at least try? Presuming all the above are sold. Are there other targets in the mix ?

Sorry for my ignorance, i've never been to a game yet at 25, and it's my agenda to get sometime this season.

Thanks,

StrabaneRed {Ed019's Note - I'm sure someone else more experienced can help, I'm a bit busy with the influx of transfer questions haha

I think the membership price was £22 per year. You can purchase tickets when they go on general sale but i think you can only get premiership games when you've been to 5 (i think) games (such as carling cup etc)
im probably wrong though lol

It is a yearly subsciption. Prices are for adults....
£32.99 if you live in UK.
£36.99 if you live in Europe
£40.99 for the rest of the world.

Full adult membership is for the season and you may well be able to get a ticket to a game or two. But as a new member with no previous games on your card don't expect to be picky and get the best games or seats.

Kenny 1.0 was so much better then kenny 2.0 at LFC 2012.
He gave spearing new contract,bought carrol,hendo,adam,downing for narly 80M.

What were you thinking kenny?

I have to admit, apart from the Spearing contract, I was very excited by all those players coming in, as they were the best players from their respective clubs. But i guess they didn't work.

if yesil is that good how come bayer selling him for a mill looks average on you tube.

He's a prospect- nothing more, nothing less. Could equally end up being world class, a squad player, or a complete dud, but at 1M is worth a shot I think.

Cos you can really tell a lot from a 3 min youtube video cant ya!!!
LeeWils

We payed less for sterling and he's turned out to be a beast!

Damn it, I keep telling our scouts not to watch them live and see what they're like in person but instead look on YouTube. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I will pass on the complaints to the scouts.

Yours faithfully
Brendan

Don't look at the numbers see for yourself how he is. Sammi probably want the kid to succeed and bring him to liverpool so that he can be his manager some day H h.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:27:38
I just cant understand why spearing would be going out on loan, it just beggars belief ive never know a club loan out so many players, if a player has no future at the club he needs to be told and sold, i cant for the life in me see how jay can honestly believe his long term future lies with the club.
i just hope that he turns in some decent performances and raises his profile and asking price, truly unbelievable

30 Aug 2012 18:27:14
what? jay spearing going on loan. he is not good enough. we need to get rid of him permanently. sell him so we can get the money for a striker. we will go three steps backwards if he is still in the liverpool team.

You can't sell someone if they don't want to go and/or there are no buyers. Don't blame the club.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:25:49

I say 3-1 to Liverpool tonight.

The Hearts fans were top class and in full voice from travelling reds accounts, so i hope we can give them the same and if not better roar and cheer and send them back off after a great two games which eases their exit from the cup.

When we were in the Champions League i heard some fans agree that they really missed travelling to remote and unusual destinations that happens in the Uefa cup.

LoL Our first game in Europa this season was against Gomel, who admittedly i haven't heard of before, so maybe those lads got their wish. Maybe a Dynamo here or a Lokomotive there and a Rapid something along the way. :)

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:22:42
Everton are gonna push us hard now for some years. There team is very solid and David Moyes has been there for years so he has had time to adapt his team. He brings in players for low money and they turn out class. Hope they go through a rough patch this season or they could finish above us again.

Hell be gone soon

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:21:10
Hi eds, I have a question.
Why are we letting jay spearing go to Bolton on a 6 month loan deal? It doesn't make any sense. Owen coyle said there were several clubs trying to get him. So why did we not sell him whenever he is surplus to requirements at anfield? Stupid decision! And we had Newcastle and west ham trying to sign andy Carroll on loan? Do you know why other clubs take advantage of us like this? One word.... Aqualani
We were a laughing stock. I wouldn't be surprised if we do loan Carroll out
Regards,
Kyle {Ed001's Note - because he didn't want to leave. You can't just force players to go.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:21:01
are liverpool likely to sign anyone tomorrow or will they have to sell first? thanks

In BR we trust

 

 

30 Aug 2012 18:18:45
I defiantly think we will sign Dempsey for 5 mil. He doesnt want to go to Sunderland and only wants to join us. And Jol will want rid of him and get some money. Rodgers did well to wait to the last day to grab him when Fulham will accept a low value just to let him go. Rodgers knows what he is doing.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 17:31:57
Have we signed Samed yesil???
Do you think he would be great for us?

Hey Eds, Thanks for the stirling effort keeping us abrest of whats going on these final few days.

I am just a bit confused with the saga surrounding young Charlie Adam, Surely he cannot believe he has a place in our new system (or even merits one) after last years dismal season?

What are the chances we will see him and fellow (albeit unfortunate) failures Carroll and Downing leave in the next 29 hours?

Red_Jamiel {Ed019's Note - High chance of Adam and Carroll leaving, very low for Downing

30 Aug 2012 17:30:53
I work in the Hilton in Liverpool and Dempsey is 100% staying here. I bumped into him in the Salon and asked if he was signing for the reds. He told me that it was just coincidence, and that he was in fact there to see the steps reunion concert. When pressed it turns out he is a big fan of Lisa's dancing and Lee's singing. Who would of thought it!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 17:28:37
It's times like these you realize how truly awful our transfer dealings have been the last handful of windows. Poor players on wages bigger than they deserve bought for well over the odds that we're now seemingly going to struggle to find a place for in the squad.

Hopefully moving forward BR can continue what he's started this one- picking up reasonably priced players who are actually going to fit in to his strategy and will have a hopefully long-term future with the club.

Not optimistic that we're going to be able to do much of anything else this window since no one seems to want to leave and/or a complete lack of interest from others, but still feel we've done a good bit of business and very much looking forward to the rest of the season.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 17:27:20
Berbatov having a medical at Fulham ( after agreement reached with Fiorentina ? ) I hope Fulham aren't involved in some shady deal. Pot / Kettle ?

I hope they are. serves them right for the delay with dempsey deal.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 17:26:49
I hope what is being reported is not true and Adam/Carroll rejecting clubs demmed 'too low' for their standards!
I find this really dissapointing as surely sitting on the bench or being in the reserves is going to do nothing to help develop their careers and is going to damage our club financially paying wages for back up players.
Adam has done nothing at all to show he deserves another chance to play for the club (along with most of KK signings) and as such should probably accept Stoke are a good choice for him, he thrived well as a big fish in a small pond at Blackpool and probably would suit their style of play.
Andy I regret to say should just accept nothing he will do will get him in our team and move somewhere where a 23 year old striker can develop as our bench offers little in the way of improving a players skills. 11 goals in 58 starts is a poor return and despite a great attitude the club is moving in a direction he cannot take part in, shame but thats football.
I just hope we dont have another situation where we are stuck with reserve players on big wages as they think themselves too good to play anywhere else. They should want to play football not sit in our reserves, next year they'll be worth next to nothing and the club will have to take a huge hit in selling them.
Accept you don't have a place here lads for better or for worse and do whats best for your own careers not your ego or wallets!

Charlie Adam shudda stayed at Blackpool.......Big Fish, little pond and all that!

KOPBOY FROM THE GREAT LND!

Some of you FANS need to get real, your one of the main reasons some of the players don't want to move, apart from their comfortable pay.

When we thought Lucas couldn't cut it, we all jeered him.

Brendan Rodgers knows Carroll won't get us the goals his system/team needs, so he has to go. We liverpool fans are the best supporters in the word the way we support our players, but give support & appreciation where it's due.

Lucas went through hell, worked very hard to where he is today.

Why is Carroll or Adam different?!?!?

The problem is these two and a few who came in last year have had it easy. You can't come into a club like Liverpool and think you've made it. You got to work your socks off mate.

But their main-state has allowed a dip in form, especially Adam he should be producing in a system like Brendan Rodgers.

Anyways, from my end WestHam, Newcastle and another unnamed club have put in offers for Carroll, Cole & Adam.

If only we could pressure these players into leaving as thats what Rodgers is trying to do by not guaranteeing first team places.

I'TS BEEN BUSY LIKE HELL HERE IN THE OFFICE, SAME TOMORROW, BUT I'LL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED.


PS. SPURS IN FOR 'Llorente' AREN'T TRUE, BUT TOTTENHAM ARE VERY BUSY. MARK MY WORDS.

Ed with Spearing only going on loan and Adam looking like he will hopefully go to Everton (makes sense with Rodwell going) for around £5m........is there any chance we may cash in on Agger at this late stage? Say if we got £20m for him and £17m for Carroll, along with the Adam money could this finance moves for a combination of Amorebieta/Llorente/Walcott/Dempsey. I know Llorente is probably a pipe dream!

John b, your comments are like the relationship between crouch and abbey clancy, i dont get it!

Walcott pros: quick, not too bad on the ball ( as bad as carroll anyway ) fit, tactically aware, and believe it or not, has an eye for a pass on the floor and is a really, really good finisher.

Cons: Won about as many headers in his career as i have fingers, 11. Cant tackle. Cant cross, and sometimes gets lost on the pitch.

Ed 52? still going strong pal? or are you now inside a padded room rocking back and forwards muttering "possible, possible, no....possible, possible, no....."

30 Aug 2012 17:59:54
So to summarise today. We have signed a striker for the future, but can't afford a striker now because Spearing is delusional in thinking he'll ever play for Liverpool again, Carroll (who isn't and will never be good enough) only wants to go to Newcastle and Adam to the Bitters, who are going to know that and offer peanuts. Can't see us having enough money for Dempsey, let alone the 1 goal in 2 game striker that we desperately crave. Let's hope tomorrow is a better day!

I'm hearing a lot of stories around anfield that BR is interested in bringing in Irish sensation Stephen hunt as he thinks downing can't cut it at the top ,IMO would be a great signing ynwa rob1892

Irish sensation? He got too big for his boots at Reading and has been a waste of space ever since. He's like Spearing. Tries hard. Just a shame he's rubbishe.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 17:34:32
I must say Eds as days are passing and poor Brendan is having difficulty to bring in his own players, my anger towards Dalgish and Comolli grows by the day.
They probably had the most funds we will ever be made available and horribly messed it up.
Also Spearing really seems an annoying lad. If you are personally told by the manager you are not in his plans why not move on and make something of your Career. If it has anything to do with wages I can understand as it is all players care about nowadays but I feel he could easily earn same as that at any other club mainly because I don't think he would be on massive wages (or atleast I hope).

Have to agree with you, unfortunately. I hate to slag off our own players, but reality is the pair of Kenny/Commoli made some pretty huge blunders in the transfer market and also re-signed people they probably shouldn't have. I have no idea how anyone with a shred of self-respect would turn down a reasonable move to a new club when it's really pretty clear you're not wanted. Amazing...

Think it's going to take a few windows to recover although will say I think BR's signings so far are leaps and bounds, especially in terms of talent per £, above what we'd seen from the prior two management teams, so a bit of hope there.

The owners have to be furious about this, I would think.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 17:32:33
People on this site saying llorente for around 16m, I would have thought Bilbao would want double that.

does spearing really believe he will ever be a first team regular at liverpool? or at any other top 10 team for that matter, he's not hard done by, he's been given opportunities, he's just not good enough. he's already unpopular with the fans, you'd think he'd want to leave and get a fresh start, almost as frustrating as joe cole still being a liverpool player
ant

Best post today...... I totally agree with you, I'm sick of these deluded players thinking they have a future at Liverpool, just get rid of them all

Andy

I don't know why he would be unpopular with the fans. He is a local lad who trains hard and always puts in his maximum effort.

He's not unpopular with the fans! Only a minority on here!

Yes hes not good enough, but i wouldnt say hes unpopular with the fans. I for one think he is a model footballer, 100% effort and commitment, plus he is a local lad who understands what the club means to the fans. Who would blame him for wanting to stay at his boyhood club. Its not his fault he hasnt developed into a class act, i think its a shame he hasnt to be honest. Give the lad a break! We couldve done alot worse!

Spearing is not unpopular amongst the fans. He was crow-barred into the senior squad as an attacking midfielder - a role he does not fulfill well - but he is now accepted as very good cover for the defensive midfield position.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 17:18:03
Adam waiting for Everton to enter the mix, Spearing done and dusted to Bolton for 6 months, big Andy still needs persuading but Brendan cant have made things any clearer to him. Dempsey likely along with one other surprise (but only if Carrol goes!). Lets just say he shares a christian name with a former number 9?

Would that be fernando llorente Torres liverpools number 9 .
YNWA

Jamesy

If you mean Fernado Llorente, his middle name is Torres. So he shares more than just a Christian/fore name with a former #9 of Liverpool.

Robert Lewandowski

Must be Robbie Keen

Can't hunk of another striker called Roger

He is Spanish so he is named firstly after his father (Llorente) and then his mother (Torres) so middle name doesn't come into it.

30 Aug 2012 17:12:57
if we don't sell carroll and adam, they should be sent to the reserves. we have some very exciting young talent that has earned a place through quality and not because of their price tag

Carroll didn`t have anything to do with his price tag, unfortunately that 35mill hanging over his head was his downfall, he had a hard first season trying to live up to it, all us liverpool fans have had to put up with the "you paid how much for him" and poor andy himself has struggled with it, he didn`t want to leave newcastle he made that clear, but did you see the reception he got on sunday when he came, most real supporters are desperate for him to do well,
now to rub salt into his wounds it`s been made obvious he has to go to generate funds
i find it discraceful the way he has been treated by the club and a minority of fans,
i would love him to stay

30 Aug 2012 17:05:27
I think we should have done considerable effort to move on the deadwood. NOt on the last couple of weeks since BR came in he should have started it... Sadly he took too much time assessing the players.

There is no way now we could keep the likes of Cole, Adam, Spearing and perhaps Carroll. These players if kept would disrupt the harmony of the team, would no longer have the heart to play and fight. Thus creating problems, yes big problems...

Heard we were to get 3M for Spearing but he messed up his own deal. Now thats BS, why loan we hen we can get 3M and lots of clubs trying to get him. Shows how much he loves the club eh.. blocking the club from getting couple of millions.

This Cole, giving all to stay and fight for his 75-95K wages....

BIG Shame if we can't complete the last pieces of transfer jigsaw due to some stubborn deadwood who do not want to move.

I think they should be kept where they belong, not on the bench but to the reserves...

So fu##ing hate em....

Bosco

If a player doesn't want to move no one can force him. He was probably hoping another prem team would come in for him which is why it's a loan deal only. If Liverpool get an offer to buy him from another prem club, he would leave

Now Mr. Deadwood - you are some fan calling these guys deadwood - what an attitude!! So a man decides to fight for himself and he is deadwood. Who are you going to be calling deadwood next season and the one after that?? Terrible outlook.

We might want them to go, but can we blame them for staying? Would you take a 50% pay cut?

Im sick of so called fans calling our players deadwood. It doesn't matter who they are or who signed them. Once they pull on the liverpool jersey they deserve at least the very minimum is respect. I don't particularly like Jay Spearing as a player myself but I can say in all honesty he always gave 110% for the club. That is all any fan can ask. If the fans gave as much effort supporting the club instead of constantly insulting the players and therefore the integrity of the foundations of our clubs motto,YNWA, then we have lost before we even start. Honest critism is one thing but this downright animosity and hatred towards our own really sickens me to the core. It's about time some of you guys took a long hard look in the mirror. Somebody at 1 time or another saw something in these players to offer them the contracts they are on whether we agree with them or not. We would all love a team of Messi's but this is the real world. This is supposed to be the team we all love through thick and thin, good and bad so why is it not shown. Manners and respect cost absolutey nothing. Sorry Eds for goin on, you do a fantastic job and I love the site. Best of luck, Simonpw

Ahoy Bosco - if your employers put you in a position to do less than half your hours, less than half of your expected workload and still be paid exactly the same salary, with no loss of stars from your name badge - I can't imagine you would be begging them to send you to another branch of (insert fast food outlet name here) to do more work for less money.

Enjoy your meal sir !

BOILED ONIONS

Tbf, having seen the whole Downing to LB thing, Rodgers is probably willing to give people a chance. He has an idea of his first team and the above mentioned won't feature. I would imagine our January window will be just as busy if the now fringe players don't prove themselves. But anyway, I wouldn't read too many tabloids mate, as clearly the promise of that well-balanced dream team of Suarez-Dempsey-Kaka-Walcott-Huntelaar-Llorente is keeping you up nights.

You really do talk a lot of rubbishe Bosco. You thing you the lot what goes on behind the scenes. You haven't a clue how long it to Rodger's to asses anything, so stop takin out your ring like your privvy to what goes on behind closed door's then coming out with twisted bullirubbish to post on here. Call yourself a fan lad, wow what a world-class fool.

a quick quote from SSN

"A number of clubs were thought to be keen on signing Spearing on a permanent basis, but the 23-year-old has decided to go to Bolton on loan for six months as he sees his long-term future at Anfield"

all i can think to say is fcking Prik. leave already, future at Liverpool? get real Shelvey and Henderson is preferred to him as will Suso be by next season.

but that does bring in money, loan fee plus the majority of his wages for the 6months until he gets shipped out again on loan for more money and saving wages.

my guess is Wilson and Pacheco are next on the loan list. as well as Cole out on loan.

Damn Leaches.!


Carroll will be sold £15m to bring in Llorente for £17m plus £3m add ons

Adam sold for £5m

Dempsey in for £6.5m

and another surprise signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang instead of Walcott. he would only cost £8m as apposed to Theo's £13m+ double wages.

can play CF, SS or WF. pacey and knows where the net is.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 17:00:46
I am deluded at the fact Spearing said he didnt want to go.
Hang on a minute we want rid of him dont we, why didnt he just accept he is not worthy. Unfortunately that happens.
Now he has just created havoc and the fans will probably turn against him.

hell this window is full of controversey

LTP

Pissed off with the person. Cannot get over the fact he is n never will be good enough for us. Why cant he just move on? BR maybe didnt make it loud and clear enough. Anticipated 2.5 million down the drain. Hope he never plays for us again, coz we will start losing matches for fun.
Indian Buzzer

The only thing your deluded about is the meaning of the word "deluded" ;-)

The fact he's a scouser and supports the club. That's why he wanted to stay, wasn't everyone going on about that there is no loyalty in football anymore.

Afternoon all,

Anybody know any IPad friendly streaming sites. First row does not work without Flash player.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Dirks Engine Room

Download puffin browser for free and use the computer streams through that and it will work.

JW

Can you get google chrome app and stream from that?

Murph

I dont think any website will work because they all use flash. but i think you can get sopcast lite on the ipad which may work

Download Skyfire app - this allows you to watch flash videos on iPad.

JRG

You can download apps tht allow flash video mate. They cost around £2. Thats how I do it mate.

RedKopite

Can you not download an app from the store which then allows you to view flash?

dmedly

Lshunter or maybe vipbox, I have a list but there are too many.

lshunters "main" streams are flash but there are non flash links as well.

I prefer Sopcast streams from wiziwig forum myself (don't care for language)...but your on ipad so sopcast is incompatible, but I think there non flash links there too.

Check them out b4 the match.

Apologies for the life story :)

StrabaneRed

You can try here also footballstreaming.info/streams/todays-links/index D O T html

StrabaneRed

Ipad is rubbish, now that you are part of the Iwant cult, can you see the limitations of this over expensive, under powered, no flash, DRM everything piece of crap, you could have bought a superior and more open sourced pad, even an excellent laptop for all those £££'s and had money left to spare, but like many other people you have actually been deceived into paying outlandishly for a rotten apple!

The Penguin

Of you buy Skyfire from the app store (costs about a fiver) you can watch flash player videos. It won't let you watch every link for some reason, but I have watched every Liverpool match for a while on first row sports with it. Hope this helps mate.

Nick

Yh I've always wandered that because I've always having to watch matches on my incredibly slow computer.

If you download the app skyfire, firstrow sports will work mate.

Brisc93

Try wiziwig.tv mate hopefully that will work for u
Huddz red

Sorry for your troubles mate, but Apple suck

This is interesting - Sam Allardyce has admitted that Andy Carroll is unlikely to join West Ham, as he has already spent a large chunk of the money bringing Wolves' Matt Jarvis to East Laaahndon.

Lying he earlier said that Jarvis is being brought so he can deliver great balls for Carroll hopefully he does go

Spearing wants to look at his performances against Lampard Modric and Dempsey,then look the fans in the face and say I am top class.You will never be a top class player Jay, you went to Leicester and couldn't hold down a place.You are a legend in your proud parents eyes mate, you have played for your boyhood team,so don't spoil it by trying to tell supporters that you are the dogs b******* ,when you're not.

Bit harsh that pal but i agree 100%

Chill out He is not my favourite player but he is not the anti-Christ!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 16:46:33
Ed, I know it's unlikely that Llorente will join, but surely the closer it gets to the deadline, Bilbao will be more desperate to sell, and Llorente may be grateful for any move? Or I this wishful thinking?

*I do realise that it depends on Carroll going* {Ed001's Note - they are saying they are happy to keep him, but the fans have turned on him, he wants to go and his contract is running out. They are just trying to get the best price they can, though they might have shot themselves in the foot and driven all the suitors away.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 16:45:37
ed what a top class job you boys are doing 24/7 for us.very well done keep it going boys RED BULL'S THE WAY .right ed a loan for jay.?? ed not a sniff of money coming in from player sales,they said 3 or 4 club's were after jay we should of got some money in for him,we should of sold him for 3m,but on the upside we must have money too spend then ed.there must be big news to break on player's coming in.walk on COME ON LFC.jay essex red for life red till dead.

INDIAN SCOUSER YNWA {Ed001's Note - because they have a lot of young strikers, check out their squad. Thanks to Hyypia, we managed to get him.}

Who have we signed?!

Who we talking about???

Ed is he a really promising prospect ie Sterling. Or just someone who maybe could be big?

Thanks Sami, we love you. YNWA

Hyypia u legend thanks what a prospect this kid is.Tommy Irish red

 

 

30 Aug 2012 16:49:49
Don't understand how Spearing "messed up" so he's only going on loan- surely if his attitude was wrong, no club would take him at all? And as for his future transfer value, surely that has now plummeted (from £3M).

And how welcome back will he be in January?

Mrpjd

Should have gone last year.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 16:36:52
Sahin will be with us for 1 season and then go back to madrid to replace alonso who will be coming back to anfiels next season good source from spain thanks.

Lets loan him forever lol.tommy Irish Red

 

 

30 Aug 2012 16:33:02
Carroll has been told to pick a club and leave. The money will be used to buy llorente or Huntelaar and Walcott, Dempsey will also sign tommorow morning for 2.5 mil and Adam going the other way.
Spearing also going to bolton on loan for 6 months and a possibility cole may still leave.
Owen

I think cole might go to fulham as part of the Dempsey deal . We might put £3m in too but with Coles wages it would probably work out better finacialy for us ( that's my hope any way ) cheers

If Spearing goes, I think it will be good for him and the club. He is a good footballer, who gives 100%. Unfortunately, at a club like ours, to play in his position, you really have to be world class - anything else isn't good enough. Despite how much effort he puts in, he just doesn't have the natural ability to be world class. What he doesn't deserve is a pile of armchair supporters slagging him off. At the right club, he will do well, and I will be pleased for him, as he fully deserves it. People who slag him off IMO are bang out of order. The only player of recent time who could be called dead wood is Aquilani (he can get as much abuse as possible). Spearing is not dead wood, and anyone who says he is should be ashamed of themselves.

Sorry for sounding so preachy, but it really gets on my t*ts.

Nick

He is only moving on loan now and in a way is harming LFC from progressing the boy needs to move permanently he's had more than enough chances he is doing himself and the club no good with this loan makes no sense to me anyway?

For Spearing read Danny Murphy. He did really well for Fulham. I agree. Good luck to the lad if he goes.

iggypop

Spearing out! Dedication to the club means nothing, i love LFC, doesnt mean i should be in the team! Quality is everything, stop spouting this kind of nonsense or we'll never get back in the champions league
Zeus Katz

There is only one player who can truly be called "world class" and that is messi, other players can be great or class but not truly world class

Totally agree! I think he is good cover as DCM, no one else in the team can do what Lucas does but Spearing comes closer than anyone else, so would rather keep him.

Agree, but a loan deal! I hope they change the locks at Anfield before he comes back.

Hear, hear...well said. A homegrown lad who gave his all - that's a lot more than we can say for some of the so called stars.

Good luck in Bolton, Jay!

Doha Red

He is also not good enough for lfc

Calling any pro-footballer who's played for our club, DEAD WOOD, is also well out of order, and shows no respect to them as professional athletes, so you NICK should start by being ashamed of yourself.

Sorry for sounding so preachy, but it really get's on my t*ts.

Well said Nick. The kid gave all he could when called upon.

Quality is not everything , look at mashcerano and Torres , I know spearing won't make it at Liverpool , but show the kid some respect he's been brought up at our club not bought for million's and been on a couple of hundred grand a month .

Fernando Llorente - £16m plus further add on's (which are basically guaranteed), Bilbao want to sell more importantly the player wants to leave for the premier league and will not sign on.
Clint Dempsey - £6m
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang - £8m, (alternative to Walcott)
= £30m

Carroll - £16m
Adam - £5m
Cole - £2m
Spearing - £3m
Doni - free
Pacheco and Wilson out on loan
= £26m

FSG will make extra funds available for Pierre as he fits the profile, while Llorente and Dempsey has to be self funded.

Jays gone on loan so no 3m there ?? we must have money then an just need to ship some out and off the wage bill,so we can bring in player's. i hope finger's crossed there's news very very soon walk on.jay essex red for life red till dead

If only would be unbelievable but this isn't FIFA, you dont keep 100% of the transfer money and in fact in the next FIFA you will only keep 85% as a new feature.

30 Aug 2012 19:10:11
I wish Macca's name was at the bottom of your post, with an Ed confirming it as the real Macca.

30 Aug 2012 16:21:47
Surely we could have got a couple of million for Spearing instead he's going to Bolton on a six month loan deal, why?

With all fairness to Spearing he ain't ever going to make BR squad so it makes no sense what so ever to loan the guy out.

Have we not learnt our lessons from the Aquilani and Joe Cole loans, we always get shafted, Ian Ayre is a complete muppet and a laughing stock when it comes to contract negotiations..

Curled1

Have 'fans' in the loosest possible sense of the word, not learned their lessons? Understand the facts before spouting garbage. Read what is said, the info provided by Eds etc.

If Spearing 'refuses' to sign for another club, how exactly is that anyones fault but his?

Funnily enough, it is not possible to 'force' somebody to leave, or have you not noticed the Carrol, Cole etc etc etc sagas dragging on?

Disagree, loaning out a player like Spearing to the Championship will only help LFC and Spearing. He'll be out in the shop window every week, going around the Country playing at a very good standard that he will thrive in.

I see Spearing being sold for more than the £3 million that has been touted around so much, during the January transfer window. Bolton obviously want to asses the player before rushing in and buying.

We have Sahin, Allen, Shelvey, Henderson, Gerrard, Adam and Lucas when he comes back from injury. So why not pass the player on for a few months and see if he likes it and settles and if Bolton think it will work.

If i were the manager Coyle and Bolton could take Wilson, Eccleston, Coady and Flannagan on loan if the rules would allow it, we'd have better players coming back than left, no question or doubt in my mind.

As for Aquilani he was bleeding the club dry of wagers, like Cole has been. Spearing is on extremely modest wagers and takes very little maintenance. Huge divide in situations.

How can someone who talks like that
Have any view or appreciation of the
Job a chief exec does!

Give your brain a chance

 

 

Out of jay spearing, charlie adam, Steward downing and andy carroll which of these four in your view will leave and who do you think will be hard to budge because of wages. Alsodo you expect the dempsey move to finalise soon or are we likely to miss out. Cheers! {Ed052's Note - Adam to Everton is his last option. Spearing has gone to Bolton on a 6 month loan. Carroll could go back to Newcastle and Downing wont leave}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 16:19:04
From the Beeb

"Roman Abramovich's billions have made Chelsea the Premier League's biggest spenders over the past decade with £681m going on transfer fees.
Manchester City (£572m) and Liverpool (£414m) occupy second and third place ........"

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Mrpjd {Ed052's Note - Makes you wonder where all those wasted millions have gone. Probably for Adriy Voronin's hair dye}

Thats total spend though isn't it? I'm not sure net spend would make us look any better but do wonder if we'd drop a couple of places down the list?

God i hate you Andriy Voronin

Good to see those numbers, I think what will make it more realistic would be the Nett spend over the same period, top 2 remain Liverpool well down the list me thinks

Try looking up the NET transfer spending and you'll get the correct picture.

SpudRed

Is that net spend, ED?

How much after sales?
In Rafa's reign he sold about 80 players and bought as many too.

Not only net spend to ale into account but then what wages and agent fees have been committed to by clubs over the same period - it would make your eyes water and Liverpool would be way behind!

Arsene Wenger has confirmed Walcott is staying, so we can strike him off the list! {Ed052's Note - He hasn't really has he}

Didn't kenny say the same about Torres?

His quote ed:

'the situation is simple, Theo will stay with us and play with us.

Sounds to me like he's confirming he's staying? {Ed001's Note - he said similar about Nasri, Song, RVP and Fabregas, pointless quoting managers.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 16:07:40
eds may i ask where have these Llorente rumours came from because surely he is 1. expensive and 2. we are not big enough team to sign him {Ed052's Note - 1. Yes, 2 probably ture. If Carroll goes we may go for him - but he would probably not wish to come, although it could happen. Carroll needs to go for there to even be a chance thought}

Why not splash the cash man on lorente while hes at a price that could change the way we look this season ud have us up there as titke challengers for the sake of 20m considering we need gs and 20m could be paid back with champs league alome. Baffles me with lack of ambition. Could u imajone how much excitement would come from this real statement of intent. Suarez lorente sterling allen gerrard sahim n one of best defences in europe so depressing. How cone we dont sign anyone of bog names but tottenham can... Really starting to get to many liverpool fans i know...

I would rather the club make a 'statement of intent' by setting out a strategy for the long term good of the club. Not by buying somebody, for big bucks, just to keep fickle muppets happy.

Can't you/all your other Jim Henson friends understand what BR is all about? What he and FSG are trying to achieve?

If a 'big name' player is available, fits with what BR wants and we can afford him, then fine. But just buying someone to make a mythical 'SOI' is complete nonsense!

eds can u explain to me why we are letting spearing go out on loan when we need money why not sell him

mike {Ed052's Note - We tried to sell him. He messed up his own deal}

What do you mean messed up his own deal ed mate {Ed001's Note - he didn't want to consider a permanent move.}

Well, looking on the bright side, if we get relegated this season we can always count on Jay and he'd be good in the championship.

Wat u mean he messed it up ed52 are they paying his wages in full and i thoughtthere was five teams interested

mike {Ed052's Note - There were - and they were all at first interested in a permanent move - but when Spearing told them he didnt want to leave Liverpool, he loved the club, wouldnt be happy etc, only loans became avaliable}

isn't this just typical, all the talk about walcott, dempsey, sinclair, llorente, affelay, sturridge, ramirez etc and we buy yesil and aubemyang, just shows we all no NOTHING !!!

wardie

Where did all the rumours of aubergine come from?

We are buying below the radar, no-one knows if it is fantastic signings yet.

Have we bought aubameyang??

It was meant tongue in cheek, i don`t even know who aubemyang is, i saw the rumour and thought here`s our third unknown coming in, not any high profile players that we talk about everyday

I think the main problem with LFC Management is that they are not making proper use of some of the LFC fans and their massive knowledge of transfer funding and player scouting.

I mean, some of these kids have 10-20 years of club management experience in FIFA career mode.

They know how to manage a transfer budget, balance the wages, find soon to be star players, convince established stars to join a rebuilding process, upgrade stadiums, and win leagues.

Spearing has signed for Bolton on a 6 month loan, so much for a 3 mill permanat deal! Llorente wont be joining Liverpool, Carroll wont leave so we dont have the money... as this rate we may not have the funds for Dempsey, let alone anybody else.

If he loved the club as much as he says he does he'd leave and free up some money maybe even make us money. But no just wants the stardom. Never gonna make it at this club. Stevie as captain should have a word.

I don't believe this lad he believes his future is at Anfield.Take a long look at yourself Jay, seriously you're not good enough.Yes you have a contract and like everyone else you have the right to stay here and prove every liverpool fan wrong.You will never be a great player though,not in a month of Sundays.

Bet your Boss thinks the same everyday
You turn into Work! Or School

That's So disrespectful tomthe lad. He's not going think he's not good enough to play
For a club he's been at since a school boy is he.

30 Aug 2012 15:46:08
well if Samed Yesil proves to be a great player for us, (assuming he is to be playing with the first team, a backup replacing Carroll). i have to say BR has been a genius in the transfer market. Sahin? Osama? both of them seem like a good player, if they can prove to be good, what a transfer window we have. He has been making some decisions that i think some managers in the past will not take.

Sam2jam {Ed052's Note - we were trying to sell. He made it known to buying clubs he didn't want to go - so all that could be done was a loan}

I hate Jay Spearing, selfish little muppet! Youre not good enough, just go to the championship so we can use the funds on dempsey or walcott please!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:43:30
Maybe this new signing can help Sahin into staying at Liverpool permenantly....

Piledriver {Ed052's Note - Who, the young German, it will have no effect}

I think Piledriver's trying to say that because Samed Yesil is of Turkish descent he might have a positive bearing on whether Sahin stays.

I would just like to say a massive well done to ED052 for the player profiles.

Just spend a good hour+ having a good read through,
The Joe Allen, Raheem Sterling, Nuri Sahin and Sturridge.
The Sturridge one has massively changed my opinion of him.

Definately worth a read, highly reccomend, and cannot wait to read the new turkish signings PP

ED052 You are a great editor and just a quick question regarding the new 18 year old turk, is he first team material or reserves.


LTP THE RED {Ed052's Note - Cheers. A bit of both, in and out, so perhaps a few cup games, but then back to the reserves. If he does well when he plays he will get more chances}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:40:50
Hi Eds

Any idea on the soon to be confirmed signing of Samed yesil? Any good?

Afternoon Eds & Reds
Spearing to sign up for Bolton on a 6 months loan. So no money. If Adam aint sold is it getting closer to no Dempsey eds? {Ed052's Note - Dempsey should still sign, Adam will go}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:38:06
Eds,

Stoke assistant boss Dave Kemp has said that they are hoping to complete 4 deals before deadline.
Firstly, am I right in thinking that Charlie Adam is one of those players? Also if he is, do you know how far along that deal is and what stage we are up to with it?

Cheers

ElRoja {Ed052's Note - Adam wont go there anymore it seems}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:38:03
I don't why the owners are stubborn like that ? If they just add 15-20m in addition to sales of adam , spearing , carroll this will solve all our issues and bring 3 quality players . please be supportive fsg ans support BR with sufficient funds . I'm afraid we don't get any of dempsey , walcott , afellay , llorente

Maybe you could lend them the money? I mean, it's just 15-20 million.

I would lend it to them but I've just had quite a large dental bill.

30 Aug 2012 15:36:59
Samed Yesil will have a medical at Melwood today. Good prospect - 1 million

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:34:01
Spearing gone to Bolton on loan

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:33:12
Liverpool are 'On the brink' of signing young german striker Samed Yesil according to , good young player who has attracted the interest of Arsenal in the past.

- Expect Dempsey to sign before the deadline
- Expect Carroll, Adam and Spearing to leave
- Downing is going nowhere BR sees him as part of his plans
-Walcott deal not likely until at least january

any new signings depend on the sales of Carroll, Adam and Spearing
only 'Nailed on' deal as of now is Yesil

YNWA
MC {Ed052's Note - All of that is possible, although Walcott could still go}

all we need is a clinical striker thats it
am i right eds
scouseproud {Ed052's Note - Yes, unfortuantely Yesil's too young - although he is that mould of player}

Sterling is younger!!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:09:07
It does look like it could be a busy 30 hours or so for liverpool. we all just need to hope carroll goes for around 15mill, does this seems likely eds?
also, who is this aubemyang?, is he a decent siging?, and would you expect him to be a first team regular?
finally, if you haad to guess what would you say will happen over the next 30 hours, in and out? what chances of the likes of affelay, llorente, ramirez?
thanks eds, {Ed052's Note - Yes, Carroll must go for us to get some moer in (Apart from Demspey - who should come regardleess). AUBemyang has been profiled, so check it out; http://www.player-profiles.co.uk/pierre-emerick-aubameyang.php. Affelay no, Llorente really low, Ramirez NO}

Thanks ed52, sorry to bring the old ramirez question back up but id read a few different websites claiming he might come last minute. iv now read the aubemyang profile- its cleared it up a lot, but the only question, is how likely do you think it is that we'll sign him?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:21:08
In a recent interview with Martin oneil, he has said that Sunderland have only inquired about clint Dempsey and nothing else.
Thanks

I expect Fulham should be filing a formal complaint soon then.

Samed Yesil would be a fantastic buy. Look at his youth goal statistics! How close are we eds? {Ed001's Note - done deal, having (or might have finished it by now) medical.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:20:17

30 Aug 2012 15:17:09
eds is Samed Yesil a player for the first team? I have never heard ov him thanks in advance
wildwelshman {Ed001's Note - he should be, maybe not this season though, depends on how he settles. He was outstanding for Germany in the summer, U17s I think it was he was playing for.}

Will probably be in the NextGen and U21 League squad this season, certainly an option more suited to Brendan's style than Michael Ngoo up front.

RedSG

Ngoo actually has some decent pace and good movement, he can dribble well and has a good engine. Not saying he's the next big time but he's not a lumbering forward.

Some stats about Samed Yasel

Last season U19's for Bayer Leverkusen

23 appearances (22 starts)
19 goals
5 assists
2 hat-tricks

Stats since 2010
56 goals in 63 appearances {Ed052's Note - Some more - http://player-profiles.co.uk/samed-yesil.php}

I was especially impressed with his 18 goals in 16 games, making him Liverpool's leading goalscorer, including a run of scoring in each of 12 consecutive games towards the end of the 2010-2011 season. Or was that 18 yr old Adam Morgan?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:27:05
Hi, All

Was with us for just a trial. I think.

30 Aug 2012 15:11:35
Charlie Adam and Jay Spearing are likely to move on from Liverpool before the transfer window shuts tomorrow, perhaps temporarily in Spearing's case, the complexion of Liverpool's midfield seems set. Lucas (once he returns from his new injury), Joe Allen, Steven Gerrard and Nuri Şahin will form the main players, rotating the three first XI roles as required. Jonjo Shelvey and Jordan Henderson, in turn, will serve as backup. One would think Shelvey's gung-ho nature primes him for a more advanced role, whereas Henderson can sit back and intercept, tackle and tick things over. Six bullets in the midfield gun – that should be enough, right?

Adam is a quality player; for sure, his long balls are occasionally world class and although he hasn't reproduced his finest form in a red jersey, you'd have to be pretty cynical to deny that his dead-ball exploits were top notch at Blackpool. Even Sir Alex Ferguson had to admire them. But when Lucas' season came to a premature end during November 2011, and results took a turn for the worse, Adam's form seemed to drop off. I don't believe he was ever really purchased with a place as the main man in mind, but with Lucas and Gerrard on the sidelines, a lot of pressure rested upon his shoulders. And that can't have helped. With the team struggling and expensive recruits failing to drag the club through tough times with much glory, a backlash was always on the cards. I felt sorry for him when his Carling Cup final penalty soared high over the bar. No respite for Charlie. Although, at least, we still won the cup.



With Jay Spearing, a local lad from the local area with a local heart who wants to play for his local team… there's a mixture of things that went wrong. He was never really ready to replace Lucas last year, someone we'd come to rely on for consistently high performances. He was belatedly breaking into the first team and the near-toxic environment wasn't really healthy for his development. Instead of coaxing him through some tough times and giving him the benefit of the doubt, far too often it seemed he was the target of disdain. From other fans as well as, sadly, ourselves. We've gone from Alonso and Mascherano to Jay Spearing? Do me a favour! If you're winning and want to blend an inexperienced player into the fray, that's okay, he's young, he'll learn, he's not pulling you back. If you're experiencing a rough campaign, however, there's suddenly no time to wait – no patience affordable. We can't fall down the league just so this guy can learn the ropes!

With Brendan Rodgers' new system, neither player seems particularly suited. Adam isn't really mobile enough, and his favourite move – the Hollywood ball – isn't a staple of the new boss' plans. He won't get much game time and, at his age and with international football to consider, moving on seems best for all parties. Spearing, in turn, is behind Lucas and Allen for the defensive midfield role. Even if he was at front of the pack, many still have reservations as to what level he can actually play at, and would be calling for an upgrade. Again, he won't be playing much, and a move onto a new team seems the best option for his development. I personally think he needs somewhere a little more low-key, where he can play every week and not have the fans on his back. A high Championship team seems a good shout – first team football at a club on the rise; win over the fans, enjoy some success, get promoted back to the big time.

Andy Carroll's absence tonight will tell you everything you need to know about his future with the club. I am torn whether I want to see Carroll continue with the club, he could be an amazing player, have we written him off too soon? How bitter would it be to see him progress into the player we dreamed he might be at a rival club, or the second coming at Newcastle and all of a sudden he is their hero again banging in 25 a season! I was inpressed by him at the Euro's (well we only saw him in game 1). And I have seen glimpses of a big strong forward that centre halfs can not deal with. Its a vicious cycle of him needing game time to improve yet BR doesnt have the confidence in his ability to start him?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:11:18
Spearing to Bolton on loan surely we can get at least 2-3 million for him!!!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:10:13

30 Aug 2012 15:07:11
Jay spearing has joined Bolton on loan till January

Can't believe we didn't sell him and get some money in!! Does he seriously think he's going to get back in the side??

What worries me is Bolton will realise he's not very good and send him back!!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:03:22
Hi Eds, great site.

If Carroll doesnt feature tonight, how much of an indicator of the clubs intentions for him is that do you think??

I think that if he IS to stay, a start tonight would be a good thing, he wont improve as a bench warmer and this could be an opportunity to give him a 90min run out in a fairly high profile and important game. Save Borini and Sterling for Arsenal and go Downing Carroll Suarez up top.
If he goes, who is the replacement. Well you would hope the wheels are already in motion and if Carroll is left out completely tonight, maybe Llorenete is interested, perhaps we will get Dempsey after all??
Very interesting to see this one unfold...

On a seperate note - Adam will be gone by tomorrow, Stoke City front runners to take him for a fee of approximately £4.5 - £5 million.

Henderson should be given more opportunity in Lucas' absence to show why we invested £20 million in him, and consider off loading if he doesnt impress in Jan. We shouldnt assume Sahin will sign up full time after this season and if Henderson improves, he may deserve his place, young, british and potential there!

Shelvey will stay as a fringe player, but I am one of those who would like to see him stay and develop with this club.

Agger - eds can we assume that he IS staying now?

Joe Cole - I have no idea eds?

Cheers {Ed001's Note - Carroll is being pushed out of the door. Agger is staying.}

Charlie has rejected Stoke {Ed052's Note - To go to Everton}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:02:53
I will be gutted if Spurs get Llorente! We need a goal getter. We won't get 4th if spurs get moutinho, dembele and Llorente. Sorry to say it but we just don't have same fire power! I hope we can make it work but still not looking great, hope we get dempsey and walcott, will make the difference.

Jordan

 

 

30 Aug 2012 15:02:13
If and it's a big if we manage to sell Carroll Spearing Adam and Cole while managing to get Dempsey Walcott and Llorente we will have one of the strongest squads in the league. With the additions of those 3 we will be a truly frightening prospect to face.

Suckin Lemons

Then Mancini will be right we should be challenging for the league!

Liverpool to offer carroll straight swap for Walcott. No sources just putting 2+2 together and getting five.

Quigz23

How do you get 5 from 2+2 ? Any Carroll will not be going to Arsenal and certainly not for a straight swap

I hope though if Carroll does go, it's early enough in the morning to give us time to replace him. I know negociations are probably taking place with other targets, but i hope it's done by tea time tomorrow

hi i was wondering if one of the ed's could tell me if there is anything to the rumours of us having talks with bayer leverkusen over there 18 year old striker Samed Yesil and is he any good

LFC80 {Ed052's Note - it is true}

Samed Yesil scored six goals for Germany at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup and was one of the stars of the tournament, he has 19 goals in 21 games at that level.

Trust me. This kid is going to be a star. What a bargain.

Hi Macca,

thanks for the update very dissapointing from the owners. Obviously they are aware that by not fully supporting Brendan in the transfer market we will be lucky to finish in the top 8. Even Sunderland are investing more in players. At present I think Everton have a better squad especially in the striker's department.

No way have Sunderland or Everton got a better squad than Liverpool.

Everton wouldnt have given city such a game last week - have faith ynwa!

Everton no way.

Reina> Howard
Our defence was 3rd best last year in the league.
We have one of the best midfields in the league.
We are lacking in the attacking department but Suarez> Jelavic

30 Aug 2012 17:19:05
i am very disappointed that fans like you continue to question the owners.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:58:05
eds reds just watched an interview with wenger on a website he didnt seem to know about a short term agreement with walcott , just that they arent that far apart on money, so maybe still a chance? affely gone to shalke since i last posted i hant seen that earlier, it really looks it may be someone not linked to us as most of the linked targets are out of reach, anything further from your sources eds? thanks steviep62. {Ed052's Note - Yes, he will go if a decent bid comes in}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:57:54
Macca has confirmed our fear that there is no money unless we sell. Forget the silly rumours about Walcott and Llorente. Hope Dempsey can be purchased on the sales of Adam and Spearing.

Even if Carroll is sold, will there be time to buy Walcott? I for one don't believe he wants to come. I suspect he is bargaining for better contract with Arsenal. We may sell Carroll, and sit on cash until January. Not sure of that will help is right now.

If Maccas correct and its just out of Walcott and Dempsey think its going to be a boring deadline day, don't think Walcott offers anything fantastic Arsenal fans booed him and prefer Chamberlain, and Dempsey had a good season but how many players have a good year of goals then don't reproduce it, we've got a small squad as it is so to sell players to fund these two not that great really

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:50:58
i really don't believe carroll will leave, i would rather he went... not because he's not good enough but because he would bring in a fair amount of money and he would also get game time himself.

but whatever happens YNWA andy...safe to say he really tried but being moved on due to his style rather than potential ability

^ No mate he's being moved on cause he's potentially crap! He get's tangled up with his own leg's! He's to slow! He never sees other player's movement! I am gobsmacked that we ever bought him for that price! I'm even more gobsmacked about the support he has Thousand's can see he's crap! Brendan can I can why don't people open their eye's and stop lying to yourselve's! Andy Carroll is crap! And i really hope he is sold this transfer window!

the rumours seem to be stepping up over daniel agger yet again, i would be sad to see him go as he is a talented defender, and has shown his dedication to the club. however he finds himself injuried for half the season of average, and already found himself banned. if city cough up the £25-£30 million.. surely we wouldn't pass the opporunity goodbye?

i shall be looking out for possible footballers in anfield tonight in a view of signing for the club as i am sat right behind the directors box.

Ed052, where have your suspicions of Dempsey going to Arsenal stemmed from? Been looking to see if there is anything on the interest but doesn't look as if anything has broke yet - surely if Arsenal wade in with their interest we can almost definitely strike the deal off as dead in the water? They have not only the Van Persie money sitting there but they also have the CL, something which Dempsey has on numerous occasions stated he wants to participate in. I really hope he doesn't go to Arsenal though, I was hoping to see him up front with Suarez and Borini!

Been reading the posts from earlier this morning and quite agree with the poster who stated that Brendan Rodgers treatment of Andy Carroll has been nothing short of disgraceful, very bad man management indeed. The poster also states our motto 'You'll never walk alone' and that Andy has had to walk alone. Shame on you Mr Rodgers.

Disgraceful? when did honesty become disgraceful....leading him along then not using him would be, but at least he knows where he stands. It might feel a bit callous, but BR has a job to do and a budget to work to. Equally AC can sit it out and get his £100k+ per week and tell him where to stick it. It's business, and the quicker some people realise this the better....yes we all stand together, emotional etc etc, but the club has to be run correctly, so wild spending aint going to be happening any more. Rangers is proof of poor management and we were hours away from it before the latest owners came in.

Get over it.....I'm sure AC will when he spends next weeks pay packet. {Ed001's Note - he is not on 100k a week or anything like it! People do dream up some nonsense regarding player's wages.}

Andy had 18 months to put effort in to show he wants to play for lfc apart from the last 3 months of last season he was awful. Then he became average, does anyone remember the miss against newcastle? You really think he cares about playing for lfc? Spearing cares too doesnt make him good enough, get over it mate! I wana say hats off to brendan rodgers, he is certainly a very good manager and should given the time and money needed. RedTurk

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:22:56
Listen people it's clear we have little or no money to spend,so wish people would stop making up stories.Carroll is digging his heels in and doesnt want to move anywhere other than newcastle,who dont want to pay what liverpool are asking.liverpool are trying to push adam,spearing and cole out of the door,in which if they go dempsey will be brought in,if he hasnt signed someone else.Liverpool are trying to sign gaston ramirez on loan with a view to a permenent transfer next summer.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:22:48
The only problem with Lucas being injured is that we will probably end up keeping jay spearing the donkey..... Hope we get rid of him coz he's awful and just is a waste of space, ok he's Liverpool through and through but come on people, he wouldn't get in any other top English team and that's a fact, he should be sold to a championship team for whatever we can get for him, take the money and run! If they decide to sell Adam and keep spearing when Adam is twice as good as him, then I'll be very mad! All spearing does is pass from side to side or backwards, he has no vision what so ever, how the hell he's a footballer is beyond me in the 1st place

Andy

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:21:22
His not much quicker than Carrol and his technical ability is not that much better there are some differences but I have to agree it doesn't really make sense, as good as he is he can only play as a CF

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:20:52
All transfers in are done & dusted. No more my friends, just outs. Just wait & see.

Already proved wrong with yecil signing.

Player called samed Yesil to liverpool from bayern leverkusen. In the region of 1 million pounds! 18 year old forward. cheers

Hi eds
Does the pierre emerick aubaeyang rumour have any legs?

Cheers
VGRed {Ed052's Note - Not too sure}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:12:06
Yesterday I posted Liverpool's starting 11 for tonight, including Downing at left back and Morgan starting. I also posted Walcott would not be coming. Today's crystal ball reveals Dempsey will not be signing either. Fulham wish to teach him a lesson for being petulant.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:08:09
Eds, I'm not saying we will get these players but if we did which one are we more likely to get Sturridge or Walcott? {Ed052's Note - Walcott rather than Sturridge}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:08:06
Can't believe after all these rumours we're going after this Pierre Emerick Aubameyang ! No way he's better than AC .. also it seems like we're losing out on dempsey , walcott and afellay

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:07:49
The squad is paper thin if we dont get some players in fsg can forget champs league, two or three injur es we are screwed pull your finger out fsg
jns

Not FSG if you listen to Brendan he like a small close knit squad with players that can play in various positions !!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:04:28
City in for Maicon and already have Zabaletta and Richards!?

Eds, would you see Richards as an option, having been linked with him in the past?

Ben Red {Ed001's Note - I don't know if Rodgers would want to player with his attitude issues, he is not on the sidelines due to a lack of ability.}

Fair point, but he is also injured!

Cheers Ed001, much appreciated {Ed001's Note - he was dropped last season though, he has always been a bit big time and it has spiralled out of control a bit. Shame, he is a quality player.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 14:01:30
A club of our size should have more money to spend. I know there are a lot of unwanted players that we are trying to shift but if he don't buy a couple more attacking players it could mess up our season. The owners need to cough up a little more money for me .......... cheers

Danny

Can't blame the owners for being a little more cautious with their spending after last season. Do agree that attacking players are needed tho- a last minute dash for Lorente and Dempsey would be Ideal but unlikely

Not LFC related but i can see Qpr in top8

I don't, it's like FM with your eyes closed.

30 Aug 2012 13:53:15
We mite miss out on Dempsey because fulham have agreed a deal with Sunderland for richardson but only if Dempsey goes the other way.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:52:54
Assuming that Walcott is a target... Eds in your opinion does what has been said by arsenal regarding walcotts future rule out any activity from liverpool. Also I have seen some suggestions that Carroll is looking to stay and prove himself. Heard anything eds?? {Ed001's Note - all they are saying is that he is not going to be pushed out due to not signing a contract. Carroll is being asked to leave, he should just go, so long as we replace him.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:52:13
In these next few days, i can only only see a little movement. Carroll will go to Newcastle, or West Ham. We will then get Dempsey, and that will be it. We will keep the left-over lolly. Adam wont leave, as Liverpool will ask for more. Spearing might leave, but only if he wants to (Im sure he wants to stay). I have no sources, just my opinions.

Piledriver

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:50:55
Just been told the team for tonight!
Reina; Kelly, Skrtel, Carragher, Downing; Henderson, Allen, Shelvey; Gerrard, Morgan, Suarez

Aubameyang rumor? Eds do you know anything about this or is it coming from thumbs and the ever reputable source Twitter? {Ed052's Note - Not sure. If you read his profile you will find out about huim thought}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:46:48
Ed52 any news on Spearing, Adam , Cole or Carroll leaving. Which clubs are interested?

Btw you are my favourite ed on this site, what are we going to do when the window closes!

gh*lfc {Ed052's Note - Thanks mate. Adam to Everton or Stoke, Spearing has a choice, Carroll to Newcastle, but only 50/50, Cole to Qpr or West Ham, with QPR more likely}

Lets hope QPR have a rush of blood to the head and take Cole.I cant believe how unsuccessful at Liverpool he has been.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:46:28
Fulham have confirmed Sunderland interest in Dempsey

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:46:20
Eds,

You say Carroll is not good enough for us. Don't you think as a football club we come across as a mess, a laughing stock the last couple of years because we handle the players as if they are animals for sale?
We bought Carroll for 35 millions just last year, the player himself didn't want to leave Newcastle yet we moved the earth to buy him and then next year we move the earth to sell him. In the mean time we mess with his progress, life and his development as a player.

Carroll is not the only player under this situation. We made these things plenty of times the last few years and I don't see why I player should take us seriously.

I don't think we are Liverpool anymore, certainly we are not working the Liverpool way. We don't give chances to managers, players etc. Yet the owners are talking about bringing the Liverpool way back. {Ed052's Note - If you want my opinion read my propfile}

I understand your thinking Ed, just as an opinion for the player. What I enquire is your thoughts in our reckless business and the bad image we get with such dealings.

This is Part 2,.

Num.4-To the players at Lfc

A) U all stated that Br does not want give AC a chance,then tell me,why we bought borini at the first place?becoz he know how to fit in BR style of play..U all want him to improve?of coz,how?by playing in evry match..tell me,which one u all want actually?u want to give AC a chance or Borini to improve so that u all will not slated him again after just 3games?Borini already show he can scores..and will be better..Carroll already had his chance earlier,if we give him another chance,Borini will be a benchwarmer and cant develop..

B)We can bought new players with the money we got,,the one that can fit the BR style,,so the rotation method cn be apply swiftly if suarez or borini is injured or suspende..defo the squad will full with creativity and also good depth..

The last part..Why BR doesnt want to give AC chance,.?
-Its clear,BR know what he do...Its u at the club training or BR? He know whether AC can play or not.. So get behind him and support him..

Please Post This Ed..On Rumours and Banter if u can..It will help u,especially Ed052..Thanks for ur hardwork..Really appreciate it..

Thoughts and Comments Please..I believe its worth to spend a little time and read my post..

Thanks in advance,

Cheers..

P.S-Llorente is worth a shot and better than AC..why?take a nice look of how he and bilbao ripped Man Utd apart last year in Europa League,..

30 Aug 2012 13:43:29
Hi Eds, just here to wish you the best of luck over the next 33 hours or so (i'm sure you'll need it) also is there any substance behind these aubameyang rumours? Thanks

30 Aug 2012 13:42:09
Hai eds and fellow reds..

Please Post This..

It will clear up everything regarding AC transfer saga..
First of all..Heads up people..i think u all need to move on without AC..Its better like that for every party involve including liverpool and carroll..

Why AC should leave before its too late?

A) BR will not give him chance becoz he is not fit to BR philosophy..he already made it clear many times now..

B) Regarding to A,if AC could not get his chance,where will he belong?Bench of coz..so,without run of games,his talent will be a waste,.thats not good for either him or liverpool f.c who needs to pay his wages for just sitting on the bench..

C) If AC leave to newcastle or west ham or elsewhere..he will easily be their first or second choice striker..but at lpool he is a third choice..

Now the Second part of this transfer saga.. The Benefits of It to Everyone if AC Move Out

Num.1-To Ac of coz,whats the benefit?

A) like i said,his talent will not be wasted..

B) can earn a call-up to england squad if hes good at his new club..he cant earn a call-up if he doesnt play..

Num.2-To Liverpool F.C.

A) Got money to buy winger or striker that fit into the BR plan..

B) Free up some wages

C) This is the perfct time to sell him becoz of his market value,for example,now we can sell for 18mil..mayb next year,its only 9mil..which one will u prefer?if he stay,the market value for him,absolutely gonna drop..bcoz BR does not want to play him..

Num.3-To the club that buy him and to England

A) They cn buy him for a cutprice,thats good rite?

B) AC got a superb header,imagine,what a club that has a winger tht cn dliver a superb cross could do with him..unfortunately lfc is not that club..

C) England have a talented striker in advance if he move to a club that cn use his full potential..

This is Part 1..Eds Please put my post together..insufficient spaace..

30 Aug 2012 13:41:56
i was sat in my office and started to write down our 1st team, squad, and potentials.

my 1st team - excluding injuries, fitness & form.
the blanks, you can fill in from squad & potential buys

gk - reina
rb - johnson
cb's - agger & skrtel
lb - enrique
dmf - lucas
cmf - allen
cmf - shain
rwf - ?
cf - ?
lwf - suarez

remaining players:
stevie G, sterling, borini, assaidi, downing, shelvey, henderson, coates, kelly, robinson, carra, morgan, suso, wisdom, coady

possible outs / rumours:
adam, spearing, carroll, cole, doni, pacheco, wilson

possible ins / strong rumours:
dempsey, walcott, llorente

apologies if missed anyone.

looking at that squad plus the possible additions, i am really really excited!

all the positions have a cover player of quality or at worst giving youth a chance. if 2 of the 3 possibles were to happen (i'm greedy and want all! but economically may not be possible) then i can honestly say we have a great chance of achieving something big this season.

also, if the in's & out's all took place then a. the books would be better balanced and b. we'd have a freshness around the place, essential to BR's plans to succeed.

you may have noticed that stevie G wasn't in my team. reason? i think he's still got a lot to offer, especially in short burst or key games but i actually think we play better when he's not in the team, less of a distraction and that 'we must pass to stevie' mantra. take the chavski game at end of season...perfect example, no Sg, hendo/shelvey played with freedom to express themselves - great.

i do feel slightly for AC. he didn't set the fee, was bought by a manager no longer here and now finds himself at a club going in a new direction.

i personally never wanted him, but supported him to the max when he played... he's just not my kind of footballer.
he'll do really well in certain other teams (eg. WHU, NUFC, villa, stoke) as they play that kind of football. but with BR here he won't get a look in as he's not his type of player. honest, gives his all etc, but doesn't suit the model. it'd be best for him to accept this and move for the sake of his career. and obviously we need to recoup as much as possible.

looks like the next 24hrs are going to be a rollercoaster...hang on!

sinner21

Personally I think we should have Gerrard on the right of the front three and blow the load on a world-class striker. If you get a top striker supply from Gerrard and Suarez could see him on 30 goals a season. Wishful thinking though.

30 Aug 2012 13:41:52
Sly Sports just saying that Richardsons transfer from Sunderland to Fulham depend on Dempsey going the other way - interesting, as it is obvious Fulham do not want to sell to us.

John B

And I suppose this is Rodgers fault is it?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:38:44
Yarmolenko only has one year left on his contract, we need a winger and I was just wondering if we have shown any interest?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:37:56
I would be more than happy if we just signed Dempsey (can play middle 3 or front 3) and saw Adam, Spearing & Cole move on giving our youngsters an opportunity. If big Andy goes and we get a promising replacement its a bonus, if not so be it, he will have to accept a place on the bench and work hard to try and prove himself when he is brought on. This seems to be the more realistic option.

Thank you Ed's for your work and dedication, it is appreciated.

IMH

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:37:53
Hi eds . It's all started to kick off now Sunderland are wanting Dempsey as some part of the Richardson deal so Liverpool are certain to make a move now . I think he will be at the game tonight . I think Carroll will leave but I don't think we will sign llorente ( hope we do ) then I think Walcott will sign tomorrow night . Then I think that it for incomings . Out goings I think will be spearing , Adam and Carroll . There is a possible £20m .

{Ed052's Note - Hello all. There have been yet more profiles added (with videos etc).

Firstly, one on Mr Andy Carroll. I have caused lots of controversy over him; so please come and read my profile and read more about what I think; http://player-profiles.co.uk/andy-carroll.php

There is also a profile on prossible departure, Joe Cole; http://player-profiles.co.uk/joe-cole.php

Berbatov signed for Fulham. Dempsey on his way? RED LENIN {Ed052's Note - Probably now yes}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:34:56
"The club, in financial terms, is in need of repair so those players linked and for those sums linked, I don't have the ability to do that unfortunately. Certainly not in this transfer window anyway. That is the reality of it." is a direct quote from Rodgers so dont hold your breath over more signings!

I for one am convinced that the club does have the money. I remember a interview with Tom Werner I think it was before the FA cup final when he said that the club does have the funds needed to compete. I just think their playing hard ball this season and were to naive last season, once bitten and all that stuff if you get my drift.

"The club, in financial terms, is in need of repair so those players linked and for those sums linked, I don't have the ability to do that unfortunately. Certainly not in this transfer window anyway. That is the reality of it. Unfortunately it is going to take more than one window." sure sounds a lot like what I posted!

Was it? Maybe you should leave a name!

eds reds a website just saying sunderland want dempsey as part of the deal with richardson going the other way , also sessegnon signed new contract so both could be out of reach plus walcott plus sinclair, not leaving us with much to go for, eds whats your take on all of this? godbless96 steviep62. {Ed052's Note - Not sure}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:31:05
sly sports have just said if we let them have dempdey we can have kieran richardson! just wanted to know your opinion on this eds? its not a romour it realy has just been on ssn! {Ed052's Note - Ok ok}

So was the Carroll and Tevez swap deal...

30 Aug 2012 13:29:11
Eds if Andy Carrol is sold who do you expect us to replace him with? Just read down the page and see an Ed claiming that if Carrol goes then it will kick of a move for us. What player do we have in the pipeline? {Ed052's Note - A striker and a winger}

Who is the striker and who is the winger you think we will be going for?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:28:45
Hey eds, fantastic site been following all summer but this my first post.. My question is: on a percentage ratio what is your feeling on the following joining us b4 the door slams shut tomorrow night?
Walcott %?
Dempsey %?
affellay %?
Huntelaar %?
Sturridge %?
I don't think we're seriously linked with anybody else but feel free to add your own to the list eds. cheers

Kopite Russ {Ed052's Note - Walcott is possible, Dmepsey reducing, as Arsneal are in for him, affelay doubt it, and the other two no}

Not a rumour but seems QPR are set to sign Cesar and Granero..good business on there behalf but really were is all the money coming from? Or is it gona be a new Leeds situation next year?

They have good financial backing. New owners a few years back. Don't see a Leeds happening myself.

Qpr owners are loaded.

Qpr owners have money and plenty of it

They are being bankrolled by laksmi mittal - worth more than abramovic even if you take into account their black money

30 Aug 2012 13:25:48
Dempsey will be the ONLY signing of the window.. Carroll wont be sold (not for the want of trying by LFC) {Ed052's Note - Dempsey may be off to Arsneal}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:24:19
I work in London - My Boss's father is the C.E.O of a golf club in Surrey (Nr. Weybridge) - Walcott plays there regularly, and has numerous chats with him over the past few months. He apparently is really happy at Arsenal, but his main issue was pay, he wanted closer to 100 k as he said when he links up with the England squad etc. he speaks to people like A.Johnson, who earn a lot more then him... Apparently Arsenal are meeting him closer to this figure now, so he won't be coming....

In other news, I have it on good information that Dempsey is moving to Liverpool, and Caroll is moving to Westham. I work in the City, and meet people with various footballing connections all the time. Caroll is apparently in deep negotiations, and Dempsey is doing his medical in the next 12 hours.

Arunared

So Walcott goes around flapping his gums to any tom dick or Harry that owns a golf club about his contractual disputes and wages does he?

30 Aug 2012 13:24:18
Reports are linking Tottenham with a £15 million deal to sign Remy, he's quick and a proven goalscorer at 25 surely he fits Rodgers and FSG's model player! What's the chances of us putting a bid in he'd be a quality signing? {Ed052's Note - He will go to SPurs no doubt}

Doubt it, AVB has just said he is deffo not going to Spuds.

Cheers, Mark

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:22:24
Eds, granero to Liverpool? The statement from QPR was released at the request of Real Madrid, undoubtedly to drum up more interest in him because (a) he probably wants to go to a bigger club and (b) because Real want more money. {Ed052's Note - No Granero is going to QPR}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:22:23
Ed, what are you going to do with your life once the transfer window closes? DCsg {Ed052's Note - Sleep and have a drink}

Good. And go chase some girls and talk non football stuff.....what normal blokes like us do. =)

At the same time ed? {Ed052's Note - haha, yes}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:21:41
Eds seem certain that Dempsey is definitely in. I think he's a great player.

Just wondered if eds know how far along that deal is...fee agreed etc? Are fulham just waiting on berbatov to sign up?

Thanks

Estaban Granero signing for QPR it would seem, one more ruled out !

Good coup for them, don't think i'd of wanted him in red though.

30 Aug 2012 13:20:18
I was just wondering how will we fund a move for a top striker ( llorente ) if walcott only costs 12m ? ( of course after selling AC ) I don't think selling cole and pacheco could help . please reply ed052 {Ed052's Note - Carroll and others will have to go}

30 Aug 2012 13:15:26
Eds, who would be our back up option to walcott, who now looks likely to stay at arsenal. u see us making a move for sinclair or maybe affelay? thanks. {Ed052's Note - Erm, maybe this St Ettienne guy, who is now being rumoured. Affelay is possible}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 13:15:24
Wenger has said that he wants Walcott to stay, and he thinks Walcott loves the club, but there is still a difference in what the club and Walcott want. He didn't rule out that he would be sold

Not LFC related but QPR and that Fernandes has got some deep pockets. They have just signed Granero and have tabled a bid for Simon Kjaer

30 Aug 2012 13:05:37
IF Carroll goes then fans will get on Rodgers back for not giving the big man a chance. But hopefully andy will stay

Nothing against Carroll but he needs to get the message!

I doubt it. Surely the fans can understand he just isn't suited to our style.

30 Aug 2012 13:02:44
Don't the remainder of all our transfers, with the exception of Dempsey, depend solely on the sale of Carroll? I like that guy but if that is the case I think him leaving would benefit the team more. If he sold for anywhere near the 15mil mark, it would really help us push for the loan of Affelay or buy of Walcott or Sturridge or Llorente or whoever. But it seems clear to me that we will only get another player if Carroll is sold. Isn't that so Eds?

Do you honestly think with transfer window ending tomorrow anyone is going to bid above £10 million with what has allegedly been said today, which will not give us the funds we allegedly need.
He has to be a Liverpool player after tomorrow night - if he goes only back up striker we will have is Adam Morgan, because we haven't been linked with any other strikers that may be available.

John B

Sturridge price quoted as £25m
Llorente quoted as over £30m ( also doesn't like LFC ).

Hey ED's...Any comments on the Walcott situation?

I personally would love to sign him and put him as part as a front three with Suarez and Borini. The lad can't cross that's true but his pace puts the football in the right areas and I think he's got a real eye for goal. Would be a top signing IMO and give time for Sterling to be nurtured without too much pressure on the lad.

Cheers.

Can we please have no mention of berbatov and Owen playing for us unbelieveble.

What about a bid for Rooney? Heard Fergie wants shut of him?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:52:50
Leaving it until the last day? Again? They actually should only have a one day transfer window.

Borini? Allen? Assaidi? Sahin?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:50:36
Liverpool will sign Dempsey.........and thats it. All those expecting a deadline day flourish i'm afraid should calm down!

30 Aug 2012 12:49:19
Eds do you think today will be a day where we push to sell off the players who are no longer needed by the club, and tomorrow a day where we look to add to the squad? Obviously this is easier said than done and it might be difficult to shift some of the players on high wages. Could we see 3/4 players leaving today before some new faces arrive tomorrow?

Also on a final note eds, can you see Liverpool accepting a smaller offer, around £15mil, for Big Andy C if he agrees to the move?

Thanks, and let's hope you are busy today and tomorrow eds ;)

This Pierre Emerick Aubameyang fella that we are sposed to be thinking of signing dont seem breathtaking or prolific think carroll has more in his locker.

cheers mal

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:49:15
Rodgers just been quoted as saying they do not have the finances for any more signing in this window. Basically saying he would love to sign more but that Liverpool are not in a healthy position at the moment. {Ed052's Note - No, it doesn't mean that at all. Total rubbish}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:47:41
Loan Carroll to AC Milan- would hate him to do well for our rivals- and bring Llorente in!

Walcott and Dempsey would be great!

Today and tomorrow are gunna be hectic!

I'm well hyped! BRING IT!!

R.I.P Graham O'Connell *You'll*Never*Walk*Alone*

Liverpool-mad Graham (14) dies after kickabout on the road with his friends.

A FATHER battled to save the life of his young son who collapsed and died while playing football with his friends near his home.
...
Graham O'Connell (14) had been playing in the green area of The Steeples, Mayfield, Co Cork, when he collapsed suddenly at about 5.45pm on Monday.

It is understood he had suffered from a heart condition.

The football-mad youngster, and pupil of St Aidan's Community College in Dublin Hill, was due to travel to England at the weekend to watch his beloved Liverpool team play Arsenal.

Following the sudden death, Graham's heartbroken friends started up a Twitter campaign to have him remembered on the Anfield scoreboard tomorrow night when Liverpool play Hearts in the Europa League.

One friend tweeted: "Please remember the passing of 14-year-old Graham O'Connell, a huge Liverpool fan, by displaying his name on the scoreboard Thurs nite."

Local councillor Ted Tynan, who knows the family, said: "There were other kids on the road as well and he just fell down on the ground.

Devastated

"I called to the house this morning and they are devastated. He was out on the road kicking the ball, looking forward to going over to the Liverpool game next weekend. He would have been full of life that way."

Graham's devastated father David rushed to his son's aid with the help of a local doctor and another neighbour after the teenager collapsed.

The emergency services responded to frantic calls for help and battled to save the young boy's life.

He was later pronounced dead at Cork University Hospital. The O'Connell family were too upset to speak last night.

Graham is survived by his parents David and Jackie and sisters Edel and Karen.

Neighbour Dolores Hosford described Graham as outgoing, chatty and respectful. "We knew him since he was a little kid. He was a big Liverpool fan.

"Hopefully they'll put his name up on the scoreboard," she said.

Graham's removal service will take place this evening at the Coburg Street funeral home at 7pm and the funeral will be at Our Lady Crowned Church in Mayfield at noon tomorrow.

He will be laid to rest in St Catherine's Cemetery, Kilcully.

Hi Eds,

Just looking for clarification, with the gooners stating that Theo won't be leaving this transfer window is this a smoke screen or do we still have a chance of signing him? Also, if big Andy does go i take it we have someone waiting in the wings as we dont want to play till Jan with 2 strikers? {Ed052's Note - Walcott will go if a decent bid comes in. Same with Andy]

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:42:31
Thought I was going a bit mad so checked out a bit on the web today, and the best I can see is, despite a lot been right footed and playing multi positions, they are all listed as left sided MF or LW,
thats Downing, Sterling, Assaidi then Dempesy and Affelay ?
Now if were going to play Dempsey up front? and Downing LB? that still questions why a big bid for Llorente and why again not an out and out RW?
Just a thought that Ed.

Because suarez would play rf

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:42:25
Sorry but why would we go for Llorente when he play a similiar style to carrol, the style that BR dosent want to play!

QtM {Ed052's Note - He doesn't}

Because he doesn't slip and slide all over the place and doesn't have a poor touch.

Any chance we can get a countdown clock leading up to the window closing as most people can't grasp the fact that it closes at 11pm on Friday.

30 Aug 2012 12:38:59
Liverpool will do a lot of business 2morow and cheap.

Gaston Ramirez - £9m
Llorente - £18m
Clint Dempsey - £5m
Matt Dawson - £8m

Charlie Adam - £5m
Daniel Agger - £25m
Andy Carrol - £15m
Jay Spearing - £3m
Stewart Downing - £8m

Matt Dawson? Why would we pay 8 million for the retired rugby player from question of sport?

Why do we need a retired rugby player?

Matt Dawson eh!

I would rather no business done than sell agger!

hi
unfortunatly lfc will no longer be a top 4 club competing for the top trophies anymore as it is obvious we don't have the money to compete anymore.we have sold 8 players and counting and only 4 in at present with 1 day to go.the squad was'nt good enough before to compete,we should be getting the players alot earlier than this so we can get on with it.
just don't expect much success with these americans in charge as they clearly don't have the funds as they promised.

Your wrong at 1 point we were the 4th biggest spenders in the league this season . We over spent last season £100m . Your trying to blame the owners but they are spending the money . I think BR is selling the right people and making signings who will make us a force again . Just wait untill the transfer deadline is finished and see what team we have after that . If you don't like it go and support someone with deep pockets .

Jamesy

Top 4 applies to last season. We are certainly capable of getting in the top 4 this season. BR doing the right thing, not burning cash on CL bench warmers!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:36:43
Just to take everyone's (mostly mine) mind off transfer for a few minutes, what does our starting lineup look like tonight given the potential transfers and the fact that our 2 latest signings aren't available?

My guess:
Reina
Kelly
Carra
Coates
Enrique
Allen
Shelvey
Henderson
Downing
Sterling
Borini

Bench: Skrtel, Cole, Gerrard, Jones, Suarez, Morgan?

Given our slim lead, we can't afford not to have A team back up on the bench.

Thoughts?

PS. Ed052, you're a rockstar...cheers.

I can see this happening:

Reina
Kelly Skrtel Carragher Downing
Allen Shelvey Henderson
Borini Suarez Sterling

30 Aug 2012 12:36:42
is confident we have agreed an £8m deal for striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Interesting player but I would have prefered a more established striker. I must say Rodgers signings remind me a lot of Rafa's. Don't ask me why. That's if the mole's right, of course.

30 Aug 2012 12:35:19
We expect to sign a top, top, class striker today. My Dad doesn't give up.

This was tweeted by West ham owner's son a few minutes ago. What do you reckon Eds Carroll maybe ? {Ed052's Note - I know. We are finding out, give us a minute or two}

Ajax forward Miralem Sulejmani is the player they r going for 14 million

It's Miralem Sulejmani. Expected to sign later today. £14 million.

eds? do you think that will we actually sign anyone before the window shuts? Theres lots of rumours of players going around now its coming to the crunch. Was just wondering if so, who do you think will sign and do we have to offload players to fund these moves first? thanks and great work. {Ed052's Note - Yes}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:34:14
So gathering from Macca and the latest rumors the possible coming in's are Dempsey, Walcott and Llorente (Carroll depending)

possible out's spearing, adam, carroll and any other dead wood BR feels he needs to shift

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:33:44
Hello Ed's
If Andy Carroll Does not move during the transfer window does this mean we cannot sign dempsey and Walcott thanks

GAM {Ed052's Note - Demspey will sign whatever, but unless Carroll goes, that will be it}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:33:16
City - with all their money have just shown us how to do business, sell an overpriced winger to Sunderland and pay considerably less for a better player.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:17:04
I wouldn't expect any favours from Newcastle on the Carroll front and I think we should give them a cut off point for 5pm tomorrow, after that they can forget it as it leaves us with little time to sign and register a replacement. They messed us around when he transferred to us and Pardew has done little to help with his "just sell him" quotes.
Hopefully we get at least one new signing in and two out, my preference being Spearing, great lad but just not quite good enough for a top four team, which is what we want to be, and Adam who is nowhere near good enough for us.
Fingers crossed all round.
McB

Yes lets change the rules of the transfer market and set new rules for other teams in signing LFC players that sounds like an idea?

I never said anything about changing rules, but then again you didn't leave a name which tells me all I need to know about you. I won't bother explaining the reasons to you, I doubt you would understand.

30 Aug 2012 12:14:03
Ed you say that Llorente is our main target if Carroll goes, and you say he doesn't want to come, what other targets do we have to replace Carroll? {Ed052's Note - Not too sure. We will see who is avaliable, and then make a move}

Please ed052 who do you think are available? {Ed052's Note - Loads of people, Defoe, me, Ed001. There are hundereds}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:28:16
Aubameyang of Saint Etienne, have you heard anything about him in relation to Liverpool?

30 Aug 2012 12:27:02
Some perspective needed I feel today RE: andy carroll. He isn't going to make it at Liverpool. Simple as that really. Why people can't see this is beyond me. But anyway, it's clear to Rodgers and the owners so that's really all that matters. Rodgers has handled the situation impeccably in my opinion, being both honest in his assessment of the situation, and very repectful to he player. He is also doing the right thing for the club, trying to get the best fee possible. In turn, the owners deserve credit for wanting to re-invest that money in a striker who can score goals and propel us into the champions league.

One thing also of note today is the 'Llorente is the same as carrol' nonsense. Does anybody actually watch these people play? Yes, Llorente is a 'big' player, tall and strong in the air, BUT he's also very mobile, with a good first touch, and a much better eye for goal than Carroll. I don't think he'll come personally, but if he did, it would be a vast improvement.

Anyway, an interesting end to the window awaits! Enjoy

The captain

Llorente is entering his prime and "could" cost a figure not too far away from what we may get for Carroll.

Llorente is just better at all aspects than Carroll. Heading, First Touch, Movement, Build Up play etc. You could build an attack around him.

Andy could well become a better player in the future, but that does not look like happening any time soon and we cant afford to wait for him to mature.

I think Llorente with the amount of chances we create could be the 20 league goalscorer we lack since Torres left

I don't think we will get him, but it is nice to think about

30 Aug 2012 12:26:44
Calciomercato in Italy claim an exclsuive today and say that Liverpool are back in the hunt for Bologna's Gaston Ramirez, and that a deal isn't too far from being done.

A potential transfer to Southampton has proved too complicated for the clubs to come to any conclusion on and with less than two days left of the transfer window it could now be impossible to sort out. Calciomercato say that's where Liverpool come in.

They previously had several bids rejected for the Uruguayan with the highest being €14m, but are now apparently willing to pay a little more. Bologna want €20m all in one payment but that's not likely to happen so they must have a compromise situation already in mind at this stage of the window.

Liverpool have now offered a new idea which would see them take Ramirez on loan for a year and then further the transfer into a permanent deal next summer. The initial loan fee would be €5m and then, depending on appearances and achievements, they would pay Bologna a further €10m or €15m to make the deal complete.

Ramirez is keen on a move to the Premier League and had already agreed personal terms with Southampton. He's international team mates with both Suarez and Coates and was one of the few Uruguayan players to have a couple of good flashes during the Olympics.

Fernando llorente registered on Wikipedia as current liverpool player??

JP {Ed052's Note - Yes, but I could change him to play for Bangor City}

I would send him to Neftohimik (Bourgas), great club!

Drigan

Would he go to Wales Ed? {Ed052's Note - Who, Llorente, erm, I doubt it. Swansea nor Cardiff or Wrexham nor Newport or even Bangor City are in a poisiotn to sign him}

Change it to acrington stanley ed ;) {Ed052's Note - hah}

Hi eds brill site, keep up the good work!

Just want to throw my two pence in the carrol situation. It's perfectly clear that he won't fit in to our new system, look, I have nothing against him and he didn't ask for the transfer to be that high (but neither did aqualiani) and I'm sure in a team built around him he will shine, but for lfc he's just not our man. Take a loss, move him on and I wish him best.

Plus, if his move paves the way for Dempsey, Walcott and others and they bang in 35 goals between them and we finish 3rd, I don't think anyone would complain about his sale much. I know I wouldnt.

Bottom line is we all want what is best for our clubs and we are known to treat our players with respect, so do what's best for both parties.

BTW please post this eds as my post never seem to get through. mozzilfc

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:11:32
LFC get Carroll gone in time for replacement. If he wont, then we play hardball with him. Its about LFC Neva about ANY one individual NO MATTER WHO it is! K.K situ proves that. Taggart shows it time and Again.NO one bigger or more important then club

It shows what he thinks of us. He knows we need an out and out striker and need to sell him for funds. He knows he's surplus at the club so why doesn't he do the right thing and leave. If he leaves it til the last minute to go on the cheap I'd throw him In the under21s see how he likes it there. I wish he came good for us but enoughs enough. If we have a emplacement he should move on.

Love it - play hardball with him , exactly what does that mean?
We have a talented CF who offers different options for us, and wants to prove himself at LFC, what is the problem with that?
If BR hasn't got the talent or ability to coach different types of players then maybe we have made a mistake appointing him, it could potentially be a £25 million loss
Mourinho, Guardiola and Taggart to name a few can do it.

John B

I've worked it out, John B is in fact Andy Carroll. You are going Andy, get over it. Slagging Rodgers off isn't go to help you.

John B

Why don't you stop criticising Rodger's and what he is trying to do? Every post today has been you having digs at him.

If Rodger's doesn't believe Carroll fits in with what he is trying to do then sell him and use the money to improve the first team. "maybe we have made a mistake appointing him" what an 1d1otic statement that is, because he doesn't like a player? Grow up.

And please give me examples of players that Mourinho, Guardiola and Ferguson have worked with who don't fit their system? Because I can give players like Shevchenko, Robben, Ibrahimovic, Veron and Berbatov that were all bought for big money by these managers and they have sold at a significant loss after not adapting to the managers style of play.

JRG

Give the lad a chance ie john toshak for example

Why should he be forced out to West Ham and possible relegation and no European football either? ,and there was me thinking Liverpool always say YNWA !.

I think the commoli dalglish partnership had to go down as the worst in liverpools history. If only Rodgers had last years cash to flitter away. I mean every sogning we made was overpriced by 100%. Dalglish must be sitting quite uncomfortably somewher watching Rodgers beg people to take the rubbish he signed for millions. El Pistolero

Kenny did what he thought best for the club

Kenny was not given time for his vision to manifest

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

Love KK but whole heartedly agree. I blame Cammoli tbh. Did the same thing at Spurs, the joker.

Ojay

Kenny madde some mistakes but he does not need to sit uncomfortably anywhere end of! He still sits proudly at anfield
TSB

On paper each and every player Dalglish bought had massive potential. Unfortunatley several have failed to deliver. Not Dalglish's fault. Really people only noticed because it was so many players over a very brief period of time. You could play 'what if's'. What if Lucas & Gerrard hadn't been injured for most of the season? We would probably have taken 4th place. Would everyone have thought they were rubbish buys then?

Kenny should of stayed back in the 80's not good enough in the modern game.

Comolli should of stayed to being a scout and nothing more.

Good riddens to both of them.

Ok Adam looks like leaving but in fairness the club probably knew how bad Stevies injury was and needed a replacement for at least 6 months, Big Andy was scoring for fun it just hasn't worked for him, but who else still thinks he will go away and score loads?
Bellamy, was he a failure?
The others it looks like BR is giving a chance to.
A bit of fairness here 1 trophy 2 finals and we will never know how a second full season would have gone. Commoli overpaid that is for sure, but considering where we were when KK first took over, to 2 finals can hardly be called a disaster.
And remember if Andy goes on to score loads for Newcastle and England his value will soar. The king might just end up sitting on his sofa with a wry smile on his face.

Kenny wasn't new to the club, he has been here in some position for quite a few years, he made knee jerk signings who are not good enough, and Rodgers is paying the price.

Big Bill

What about the Suarez and Coates signed by them two and Enrique and Hendersons only young and will improve because he was played out of position, so not all bad.

Even though carroll knows he doesnt have a future at the club, hes proving to be a fuss..... he should be sent to reserve squad

YNWA

Yeah, let's send our £35m striker to the reserve squad. That'll help everyone won't it. Get a grip.

JFT 96

JP.

I guess if you analyse it properly you can actually come to this conclusion. Carroll is not good enough LLorente is good enough.

Another conclusion for ya; LFC not good enough for Llorente.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:07:28
Why some fans are saying carroll and Llorente are same. Do they know anything about footy they are very different Llorente is not target man compare to carroll coz he has got good feet he is mobile and very good technical player and have good pace and skills and he is scoring goals for team who are only second to barcelona in terms of style.

Llorente has said some unpleasant things about LFC

So he won't be coming

He's not an LFC fan

Definitely not the same...Llorente goes missing in the big games eg Bilbao's two finals...and can't even get game time ahead of Negredo (who was dreadful) in the euros

Llorente plays on the floor carrol plays in the bars!thats one of many diffrences!oh an he scores goals!
deano mcc

What 'unpleasant' things did he say?

I've only ever heard him say that he had heard good things about the club from Xabi and Torres? {Ed001's Note - all he did was laugh when asked about Bielsa coming to Liverpool and ask why he would need to come to Liverpool to be a legend when he could be one at Bilbao.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:05:39
Ok A.C nowt personnel but il'd have some pride-JUST GO LAD. People will say why should he-well he will be bit part so whats point of being awkward for his own ambitions sake, cklub he's leaving and club he's going to.Its just pro longing stress for himself

Im pretty sure my boss doesnt want me anymore but i do what my contract says and he pays me!
Why would a footballer be expected to anything that i wouldn't do?
I go to work and pay my bills if my boss wants me to work for someone else on less cash tough

Keep your head up Andy, you've conducted yourself very well - STAY LAD, you'll be a success given the chance.

John B

What's the difference between Carroll and Aggers situation? They both want to play for us and not be sold. They have contracts. Good for Andy, I say

Personally think he should go if he isnt going to play for the sake of his own career.

Adam, Spearing look like they will go, with Demspey coming in. If Carroll goes, another striker will come in, and then hopefully another winger. Cole, apcheco, DOni and Wilson may all go, amiongst others}

Morning eds and reds.

Got a few things too say on what people been saying today.
1)"Lorente is the same type of player as carroll" ha-ha-ha such dribble. Carroll, poor touch, poor pace, poor passing, poor control and poor finishing. Lorente is absolute quality, everything we all hoped carroll would be. Dont pigeon hole him in the same bracket because hes a big lad.

2) Adam and spearing to go today? Good, adam has been dross, if i had a pound for every corner/free kick hes taken that hasnt beaten the first man, id be a wealthy man. Shame its not worked out for spearing but would like to thank him for his efforts.

3) I rate dempsey, i really do. Excuse me for being ignorant but where does he fit in? like, would he be the cf? or one of the midfield 3 but playing higher...which then turns it into a 4231.

4) i would like theo as a cf.....he can finish really well if anything and pace to pull defenders apart to give more space to LS, FB, RS and co.

Sorry for the long read! i been away for a while and wanted to catch up!

Brilliantly funny post - you say Carroll has poor touch, poor passing, poor control and poor finishing - then in the same post say you want Walcott, who actually possesses - PACE and nothing else.

hi fokes

Adam out for 5m to QPR to Replace Barton
Spearing out for is Going to Fulham as part of dempsey deal both players are set for medicals this afternoon.

andy Carroll is set to Move to Villa in a deal of 15 million plus 3 million in add ons. {Ed052's Note - Adam will not go to QPR. Spearing will not go to Fulham. Villa will not sign Carroll}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 12:00:48
I hate to say it but I think Carroll should leave. If not for the sake of LFC (having someone on his wages not playing is a huge waste of money) then for the sake of himself. He won't play and his value will be far far less in January or next summer.
It is a shame BR does not want to try and fit him into his system but its obvious nothing the big man can do will make him change his mind. Having a 35m record signing being used in the last 5 mins if we are chasing a game is humiliating for the club and I assume the player.
It is a shame and I do wish him all the best as I believe him to be a very promising player but BR has to rebuild the club and if Andy is not a part of that then despite my personal feelings he has to go now for us to get the maximum amount we can for him
I am sure we all wish him the best if he does go and his committment is commendable, but him staying and not playing will benefit nobody.

Red-David-26

Yeah get lost Andys and get lost Agger, right? Nothing personal, right?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:59:31
Just been told Charlie Adam's house is up for sale. Hardly earth shattering but may give some indication that he is willing to move slightly further afield. Don't see why he would move home if joining Everton for example.

Cheers
Greggers {Ed052's Note - His house wouldn't be for sale as he will not leave the area}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:57:08
Not really a rumour but just hearing Fernando Llorente linked with us has made me extremely excited. Exactly the kind of striker we need. If we can get him and Dempsey we'll be guaranteed goals. Trying to remain calm but COME ON YOU REDS!! YNWA

RedLube {Ed052's Note - Yes remain calm. He is extremely unlikely}

If Llorente is as good as everyone says he is then why isn't he already in one of the big clubs? his valuation is hardly out of reach for many big clubs...perhaps he's overrated?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:55:20
I'd choose Andy carroll over Walcott {Ed052's Note - why?}

I'd have both.

In a Heading competiotion .... Perhaps

Bill Johnson

I'd have both in the team...power and pace...headaches all day for our opponents

Andy is a handful walcott is a pu55y

Insightful lol

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:55:18
Whilst Ed052 is grafting his nuts off answering question after question after question, the other Eds are drinking port and watching womens volleyball. I think you got the s**t end of the stick buddy... But all credit mate, well played.

P.S just out of curiosity Ed052, are you one of Blair Mayne, The Real KP or Chris In Tamworth?

Sam Adzii jft96 {Ed052's Note - Nope, thanks}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:53:47
ed i think the way carrol is being treated is disgusting the kid wants to fight and play for us look at his form at the end of last year and the euros he can fit this style just needs to be given till jan window and to say sell him now and replace him with an older version of carrol lorente just stupid cheers

mike {Ed052's Note - It is not disgusting no. Rodgers has been very fair and respectful, and hasn't talk about the player in the public}

Think he's protecting the value of the asset rather than been fair to the man in all honesty. I think the problem here is that we are getting linked with another big similar forward.
Andy was scoring for fun before he came to (i know a different style of play), I think people would take this easier if they saw a different type of forward coming in.

The way people are going on, you would think that Rodgers is fining Carroll every week and making him train with the youth team.

If BR has been respectful, where have all these alleged comments coming from, AC has said nothing except that he wants to play for Liverpool.
It would have been more respectful to publicly announce that Carroll is not in his plans and he is up for sale, he has just left it for the press speculation.
Beginning to think BR may have great ideas for football style, but nothing as far as man management goes. A disease we have suffered from since 1985.

John B

Let's put this into perspective - we came in for Carroll and gave him a lucrative long-term contract. The then management and most of the supporters gave him a lot of support through his injury problems and the long period after during which he was fit but had no form at all. For a short period at the end of last season he looked a good player but of course he's a good player. BR has come in and been straight with the player and been respectful in the press while saying what he needs to say in order to safeguard the club's position - THE CLUB'S POSITION! We paid a lot for him and we habe paid him a lot in wages - it is hardly 'disgusting' for the club to decide to sell a player which it can do at any time in relation to any of its players, every single one of which are fortunate to have the opportunity to earn great money playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world. I like AC, I would have preferred to see him succeed at Liverpool but I support the club and the manager who is not being 'disgusting' in any way by being decisive and honest about who is in his first team plans and who is not. AC is not an 'impact' sub and needs to be a starter to get form - its just not going to happen for him at Anfield. There are times when clubs have treated players badly but this is not one of them - it is the management's perogative to bring players in and out of the club and while they are with us they get extremely well paid, well coached and all the rest that comes with being part of one of the most famous football brands in the world. So, as I said, get a sense of perspective please.

If we sell carroll and buy llorente for the same amount it would basically be like swapping them which is good bisiness. It would be as if we payed 35m for llorente and not carroll which is more acceptable

Hounsred

Llorente wont come to Liverpool.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:51:58
Ed is there a chance that we could get Soldado if Carrol is sold because i think he would be a better fit than llorente. {Ed052's Note - no}

30 Aug 2012 11:46:42
Liverpool should just go out and buy a goal scorer,
Llorente say for the sake of arguement and not let this
depend on the sale of Carroll. Getting Champions league
football would pay for the new striker. Not getting a class
striker will cost us Champions League for sure. Carroll could
be loaned out and prove his value instead of warming the LFC
bench.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:42:52
Boot room blarney- i think caroll should go on loan until January to a club like stoke or west ham where they lump ball forward and he would do well in that style of play then we can sell him for a lot more as it would be bad to cut our losses now and lose nearly 25 million,i also think we have turned a corner at LFC before we would have the fowler,macmanaman show,gerrard,carragher and fringe players who did ok but now we seem to have a whole team who are giving it everything its now who do we have in team e.g coates done well saturday but who will be dropped same goes for allen he did well and will be in team for a while but then lucas will want place back which is the way it should be and with maybe 2 players joining i expect depsey and sinclair, places will be tougher than ever and a very exciting time for liverpool football club.

FFS - if Carroll is as bad on the floor as some people are stating, lumping the ball forward will not suit him at all.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:39:37
A lot of fans are saying why Rodgers is not giving carroll chance or playing him. Use your brain Rodgers is protecting his value coz once carroll is played in Rodgers systeam he will be exposed very badly then no one will offer us forget about decent fee
Am I right ed {Ed052's Note - yes, if he stays, he will be worth less and less}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:38:22
Scott Sinclair is having a medical at Man City.

So we can put them dreams to bed. Shame I would of liked him at Liverpool

30 Aug 2012 11:37:05
whats the chances of lorente id say 1 out of ten
hope we sell caroll so he can get on with his career
also hope we get rid of cole and adam would like to see wallcot at anfield after friday {Ed052's Note - 3}

He has a career with LFC if they give him a chance - I reckon who ever he gets sold to we will meet in a Cup this season and then he will bite us on the arse.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:34:46
Hi Eds, just curious with what has happened with Coady? and is there any possibility of Suso being shipped out due to the rumoured attitude problems? Thanks {Ed052's Note - Coady has disapeared. he wont make it unfortuantely. Suso, I am not too sure}

Has Coady disappeared? Thought there were high hopes for him, captain of the reserves etc
Thats really disappointing. Had high hopes for him in the next couple of years {Ed052's Note - same}

Ed you have a strange definition of disappeared since he played for the u21's a couple of nights ago.

Kieran {Ed052's Note - Well, I mean disapear as in he seems to have gone from huge talent to someone who can leave}

 

 

{Ed052's Note - Hello all. I would just like to announce our latest profile. It is on Charlie Adam, who looks set to leave the club today or tomorrow. It gives you the latest in the transfer saga, and everything else you need to know. I hope we can get a good debate going on this profile, so please come over and have a look. Thanks

http://player-profiles.co.uk/charlie-adam.php}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:29:13
Eds are we interested in a defensive midfielder as cover for Lucas? or is Allen going to play deeper? {Ed052's Note - no, we have plenty of cover}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:24:35
i was spking to mark morris and coops last night as im mates with them from my yts years at wrexham. there understanding of transfers is. only dempsey will sign. the theo rumor is dead as he has been offered the contract he wants if arsenal finish in top four. also newcastle want carrol but are only prepared to pay 15 million and the club would want 18 million. carrol demanding to go newcastle and will not consider any where else so club happy to let him rot. affley is spurs bound made appro but his agent confirmed deal in place. cant understand the crap some people right on here. llorente really not a chance. thanks steven roberts

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:24:24
'When are you people going to get it into your head that Andy Carroll doesn't fit into BR plans because hesimply isn't good enough. Why give him anoyher season when he's already had 18 months ? He needs to go so we can bring in a quality replacement

Eds, is there still a chance of getting Theo Walcott ? Sky say he's agreed a short term deal with Arsenal to keep him this season. Is there a chance he will move or is it true he will stay at Arsenal ? Thanks for all your hard work btw and thanks Ed0052 for all the player profiles


ReDDaZ {Ed052's Note - Welocme. And btw, Walcott has agreed no deal of any sort - he could well still mvoe}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:17:41
Hi ed52 first I want say thanks for doing the 17hour shifts! I just wanted to ask you opinion on Llorente do we really have interest in him?

He's 27 going to cost more around £20M and is he really that much different of a player to Andy Carroll?

I knew we had interest in him when KD was in but even that was dropped once we brought in AC.

Thanks. {Ed052's Note - It will be even longer today haha. He wont cost too much Llorente. He desperate to move, and only has a year left on his deal. He will cost the same as Carroll. Llorente was out preferred option over Carroll}

Thanks! Hope you got your red bulls for tomorrow :).

Presuming we are selling Adam and spearing to fund Dempsey and then Carroll to fund a move for Llorente where does the extra 12-13M come to fund a move for walcott? I'm sure we have money to spend however are we just dragging the deals out to try get cut prices on Dempsey? Thanks again! {Ed052's Note - If Carroll goes, we want that to cover a stiker and a winger. If not the owners may put a bit more in. Remembering Pacheco, COle etc could go still}

He will cost much more than Carroll would be sold for. According to Guilem Balague (spelling) Bilbao won't budge from their 36m valuation (£28.5m). However, I reckon we could get him for about 30-32m (£23.5-£25.5m). Not that I have any idea or have any sources.

RedKopite

Didn't Llorente make fun of our club in YouTube or something? {Ed052's Note - Yes}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:16:27
Walcott to Spurs, Lennon to Liverpool? More believable than you might think.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:14:16
Rhodes to blackburn.pablo hernandez to swansea,sinclair to man city. Red candy

Blackburn page
Swansea page
Man City page {Ed052's Note - haha - to be fair, they do effect Liverpool, well atleast the rumours a little bit}

The only 1 i look at is the best 1 LFC page

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:13:17
Eds, What do u think stand between Liverpool winning the Title or Getting into Champions League Atleast?
For me there are few teams had better squad than Liverpool, but only on Paper. Remember Football is Played on the Pitch. Considering the squads in last summer, City would have won the title atleast in March.
And, any team can beat any team on any day.
And, as a Liverpool fan i feel that Liverpool don't have fighting sprit. I don't belive Liverpool have fighting sprit comeback from a Goal to win or atleast Draw in recent past. A very few matches in last 2 years.
Indian Red {Ed052's Note - A good couple of strikers. A two good stikers will come in if Carroll goes}

Suarez-llorente-dempsey ..now that's one hell of an attack..
and for people who doubt Llorente and say he is Andy carroll type..no he is on an entirely different level..he is a complete striker whom you buy to bury the innumerable chances we create every game..he is 6'5 but unlike AC he could play the style that BR is trying to implement as well would provide immense aerial threat..AC money + 5 million for him is a no brainer ..the only doubt is would he want to join us ?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:12:38
can somebody PLEASE, let me know why some of us liverpool fans, who bare in mind want liverpool to do well, wants AC to stay? he's an absolute terrible plyer for us, and please no comments saying about the single header he did, he's useless.. shouldnt ever be a liverpool player.. "lets keep him till jan" lets not... lets get a striker who can fit into liverpool and help us be who we once was!!

It's obvious that you are after the NAKED TRUTH oh nameless one!
DM2012

He shouldn´t ever be a Liverpool player and in your opinion won´t get us back to where we once were - valid point. Also a valid point: We were inches away from winning the FA Cup thanks to the kid. In my opinion he has suffered more from his price tag than imaginable. High expectations, serious pressure and perhaps he doesn´t fit in now BUT he scored goals and we´d have ended up even worse if he hadn´t scored those goals. I for one wish him all the best wherever he ends up.

He needs to move on even with the great andy carroll rvp nearly scored more goals than us last season. red mick tag

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:07:22
Love the optimism here. I am sure people will still be calling for huge transfers even at 1159 pm tomorrow. Reality is that there is no money unless we sell Carroll. Simple as that. If we did have money, the transfers would have already been tied up.

Canada Red {Ed052's Note - The window closes at 11}

Imo u were checking accounts of liverpool club lately...

30 Aug 2012 10:35:48
Eds and Edesses, is there any real chance of us getting
fernando llorente even in the case where a club buys Carroll
from us now for 18mil? Would Llorente want to join LFC? {Ed052's Note - Not really that big. We would like him, but he doesn't want to come. Myabe 3/10}

Is there an 'Edess' so to speak? Or are all the Ed's male? I think Maisey might have something to say if they are...LOL

RedKopite

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:34:20
Hi eds if Carroll leaves do you have any idea who the striker will be to replace him {Ed052's Note - We will do what we did last Jnauary. We will phone about and see who is avaliable. Our first call will no doubt be to Bilboa, but Llorente probably wont come}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:32:22
Would love us 2 sign llorente cant see it happening but wow what a player he coul certainly shoot us to the top 4 defo a 20+ goals a season player.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:31:24
After Fulham have sold Dembele to Spurs and Danny Murphey also gone. Is there a chance Fulham would take Joe Cole as part of the deal to take Clint Dempsey to Liverpool? Just a thought as we know Adam doesn't want to move south and i believe Rodgers will want to keep Shelvey after his impressive displays this season and the injury to Lucas.

With Gratitude,
Steven Lee - The Boy With No Tatoos! {Ed052's Note - No}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:30:28
not a rumour just a thought. i remember seeing all this traffic about torres staying with the club and not going any where days before he left. now seeing this with carroll. i dont think we should sell as he'll def come good but i wouldnt be surprised if he departed

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:29:18
Ed what are the chances of getting llorente. I think we have no chance but few papers say we will bid for him if carroll leaves. Also is tello now out of the picture? Thanks {Ed052's Note - Tello is a no, Llorente is highly unlikely}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:38:12
I hope carroll stays atleast till january and give him a real chance . I believe what carroll needs is confidence then he'll start scoring like a machine , he's young , british and has potential . For me i'd like to see spearing , adam out and bring dempsey and walcott/afellay
Esso

Err I think it is blatantly obvious he isn't going to get a chance!

Carrolls slow clueless

I agree , we won't get llorente anyway and i don't believe we could go for a better solution

Capitano

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:29:55
Quick question for the Eds and fellow Reds:
Does anyone know why it's taking us so long to register Assaidi and Sahin? I understand both are not in the squad for tonight's match, and I read somewhere BR saying we didn't get the registration done on time.

As a comparison, Luka Modric went to RM 2-3 days ago, and was on the bench last night.

Perhaps there are other footballing reasons?

Doha Red {Ed052's Note - Assaidi is cup tied, and Sahin only got clearance on Tuesday, whcihw as too late.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:07:55
Carroll Should go to West Ham and show he deserve in a top class club. Carroll is a Rush buy of Liverpool and BR have every right to worry about his top 11 selection. Carroll even sit many games under Kenny.
For me best for Both Carroll and Liverpool is a season Loan to West ham .

hhh

Rush as in Ian Rush? If thats what you meant and you have put Carroll and Rush in the same sentance then thats laughable haha.

Look doesnt matter what we think, manager doesnt want him-move on

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:06:12
Whats happenin eds and fellow REDS! Can some one explain why Sahin is inelligble for tonights game against hearts? Is he cup tied or is ther some other reason? Hope to read ur responses!

Decs_lfc {Ed052's Note - Becuase his international clearnace came through too late I believe}

To play in this second leg you had to be registered in time for the first leg and Sahin wasn't signed before the first leg.

Simples.

Does that mean he is able to play after he is cleared or is he not able to play in that competition at all?
cheers
liambarr1993 {Ed052's Note - yes, in the groups}

He can play in the next stage of the competition, just not this round.

simples.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:05:49
No one here or anywhere else on the tinterweb has a scooby doo what is going on at LFC transfer wise, makes me chuckle!

Not even BR?

Thats the way it should be really.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:05:36
hey eds wheres the search function gone {Ed052's Note - It'll be back on the 1st}

Use the search function to find out .....

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:02:02
If I am correct in believing the way for BR to get the players he requires then why doesn't he just admit defeat to Newcastle and accept there 12 million bid?

Carroll out for 12 million - Walcott in for 12 million

Spearing 3-4mill/Adam 5mill/Cole 2mill out- Dempsey in 5 million Butland in 6 million.

Yes Liverpool probably want to save face and hold out for nearer 17-18 million for Carroll but that ain't never going to happen, it's no good keeping a third choice striker on the bench is it....do the decent thing BR and get the transfers in ASAP and move on......

Curled1

I'm sure you'll find it's not BR who's 'overly' concerned with losing money on Caroll, it's the owners.

Partially agree but Newcastle need Carroll also as they lose 2 strikers in Jan

Third choice striker will always be on the bench if the others are fit?

Iggypop

Newcastle are not sure to lose the Dembas for ACON ,most likely they will only lose Tiote as Senegal play Ivory coast in qualifiers for Acon .

 

 

30 Aug 2012 11:00:03
Ed, would a possibility be for Liverpool to go back to the likes of Newcastle and West Ham and offer Carroll for a certain price (maybe one or two million than we had hoped) seeing as how we're struggling to shift him? That way we can get things really moving along. Cheers pal

ToonRed {Ed052's Note - He may well go for less than we hoped, or he may stay. We need to get atleast £15 for him to be getting on with our other business}

Agree with Ed {Ed052's Note - thanks}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:58:58
to be honest with u guys i dont think walcott will be joining us, also i dont think dempsey will either, im sure carroll, spearo, adam & doni will be disappearing but i think we'll end up with loaning a decent striker or end up all been suprised and buy someone who none of us have even discussed, this this just my opinion, i dont know facts.. i don't have sources! but i do believe this transfer window upto now has been positive and i hope it just gets better!

Don

Hope and think your wrong re.Dempsey

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:57:29
Honestly all this Carroll love is getting on my tits, We wasted £35 million on him and he scored 11 goals in 18 months with us. No offence to him but that is a shocking return. He will not fit in to BR's style of play and if we sell him now we should recoup a little back on him. Meanwhile Dempsey might be 29 but so what, if he is fit enough and good enough then thats all that matters, he scored 23 goals last season for Fulham and would only cost 6 or 7 million and will probably be on a smaller wage than Carroll too. To me its a no brainer who I would rather have, its just a shame a lot of you supporters can not let go. I really believe the owners are getting it right and we need to look to the future instead of hanging on to the past all the time.

Ratty888

Agree ratty

Superb post and all true

Dempsey is 29 that s not looking to the future in my opinion

The mancs just spent £24 mill on a 29 year old

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:56:01
Thank goodness the transfer window will soon be closed. The latest that I have read is about Afellay. According to NewsNow he will only go to Spurs or Liverpool but I have seen in Voetbal International that he is on his way to Schalke 04 today on loan for the season. Think of it what you may. By the way,Ed001, I had a fantastic night in Amsterdam yesterday, never stopped laughing (at the right moments). Even you would have enjoyed it!
Dutchmal

Local for you though aint it?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:55:58
Carroll
adam
spearing
cole

all to leave for around £25m

Fernando Llorente in for £18m Plus add ons.

Dempsey in for £7m.

Interview with Mike Marsh mentions Adam Morgan, Sterling, Flanagan and Robinson the Academy lads training with the 1st team.

Any of the Eds got any ideas what's happening with Suso?

RedSG {Ed052's Note - Attitude}

Shame, the guys got so much talent it would be a shame if he couldn't come through and become a top player

RedSG

Seems to be a Spanish Trait!!

First pacheco an now suso. hope rodgers can dsicipline him and bring him through to th 1st team

Suso and Pacheco best mates from what I can see on Twitter

RedSG

Doesn't surprise me...I imagine he would be frustrated that he can't get any time while significantly less talented players are playing whole matches...we will regret it immensely when he moves at the end of his contract

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:54:20
swansea agreed a fee with valencia winger pablo hernandez 5.5m looks like sinclair moving liverpool or man city? i wudnt mind sinclair alot better than walcott as sinclair got a end product and knows how 2 play br system {Ed052's Note - City I should htink}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:54:10
carroll wants t stay so forget about any big money players coming in, we will be luckt to get one player in by tomorrow. Fact

Doesnt matter what he wants he aint produced consistantly and club doesnt want him so he should just go

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:54:10
I don't understand why we would sell Carroll to get llorente? Aren't they the same style player? Surely a Saldado type would be better? He would be my choice
Thanks
Jarred

Maybe but at least Llorente knows where the goal is

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:52:05
Ed052, how long have you been on for now? Haha, I would get some rest before what I'm sure will be a busy day on here tomorrow! {Ed052's Note - I had 5 hours sleep i think. from2 til 7.}

Wow Ed052 that's only 18000 seconds sleep that you've had. I think you could be on for the man of the year award.

Danny. {Ed052's Note - haha}

Your job is tough man but keep the spirits up

Hi eds, do you think Amorebieta could also be used as a left back? (never seen him play)

redkenyan {Ed052's Note - no}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:50:12
Ed is there any possibility that Hernandez from Valencia could come in? Swansea have apparently agreed a fee of 7M which I'm sure we could match.

Joe {Ed052's Note - No}

Quick a player has moved in europe we must sign him up! Ive never seen him play put please LFC we cant let anyone else ever buy another player ever again!! We want a squad of 1632 players and to be bankrupt buy players wages!
Please dont let anyone buy anyone! Every player must come to Anfield!

30 Aug 2012 10:49:57
sinclair finally pushing through to swansea. that would surely mean they don't need walcott. Hope we try for him before the deadline shuts

All the lads that post on here about Carroll being needed for plan b if the plan a doesnt work havent a clue to be honest. Rodgers has these guys at training all week trying to master the way he wants to play he doesnt suddenly decide that at 4.30 on a friday that 'right lads thats plan a done time to give a bit of time to plan b and lets all bang it upto big andy' Rodgers has said it himself there will be no plan b he wants the team to master this tika taka style football unfournately andy isnt adapable to this type of play so it really is best for all parties if he moves on.

I think we have got dempsey and sinclair do we really want walcott he has only scored twnty something goals in over 150 appearences in a good passing side hardly what we need yes he got pace but not much end product we need someone prolific between gerrard and suarez which will probably be dempsy,keep downing as cover at left back and left mid i think spearing tried hard but just dosent have the ability,sahin untried i really hope he is a hit i think we may have to a get another keeper as pepe dosent seem as good as once was maybe his best years are behind him and he has made no secret of wanting to return home and play for his home club also what about carra playing as a holding midfielder as cover for a year or 2 as injuries seem often in this position as i think it is only carras pace that has gone a bit everythng else is as sharp and he has loads of experience and he a legend but please no more midfielders just a good striker and goalkeeper. SALLY

Keep Reina but get him serious competition

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:49:07
If llorente does come in for Carroll, which I don't see happening, but if it did then we can start singing........ Fernando Torres liverpools number 9 , coz his full name is fernando llorente Torres ...... That would be ace

Jamie

I think he would be more impressive for us than Torres is for Chelsea.

Lol
Very clever...Saves time I suppose!

Think its obvious any major moves dependent on moving Andy on.

Spearing and Adam to be sold to fund move for Dempsey, can't say I'm unhappy with that business

If Andy moves on, who knows who we will bring in, but I'm excited as it will be someone BR wants who will fit into the structure which can only lead to better performances

Exciting times

I hope carroll stays atleast till january and give him a real chance . I believe what carroll needs is confidence then he'll start scoring like a machine , he's young , british and has potential . For me i'd like to see spearing , adam out and bring dempsey and walcott/afellay

Someone should remind Brendan Rodgers about our clubs famous motto 'You'll never walk alone'. The way he is handling the Andy Carroll saga is completely against this motto, Carroll is being left to walk alone and has done nothing wrong. Very bad man management Brendan.

Well said mate. The way Carroll has been treat by Rodgers is nothing short of disgraceful! {Ed052's Note - Ridiculous. He has treated him with the upmost repsect}

At the end of the day its about the player's morals. does he want to stay on the bench here or be a key player somewhere else.

What a load of nonsense, he's not being left to walk alone he was told from the start, the guy had his big oppotunity a year to come good but he never stepped up, now he's part of the problem just like cole and Adam refusing to budge, the owners and BR are still trying to sort out the crazy wages two years after the previous ones, the sooner these people are gone the sooner we can sign players the club actually have a plan for!

Lfcmatt

My heart bleeds for poor Andy, I suppose his £60k + a week sooths the pain and trauma he must be suffering.

What about the trauma all liverpool fans faced when carrol was on the pitch lumbering around doing nothing? i will be ecstatic if he leaves, imo he will never be good enough to play for us, the mancs, arsenal or chelsea. Newcastle or stoke is his level.

I'm expecting the unexpected over the next 48 hours.

I hope we don't sign Walcott, Huntelaar, Lennon - players who are ageing, overpaid and won't give everything, until they ache, on the pitch. Of the three, Walcott appears the better investement but Arsenal signed Cazorla for a reason - technique and vision trumps raw speed

Sinclair I can understand, given the BR relationship, his age, ability and team commitment.

But the world is full of fine footballers - I'm sure many of you who play football will know that our parks pitches are graced by plenty of Joe Allens - players who can pass, tackle and see the bigger picture on the pitch. Sadly, most of these players aren't 'physical' enough aged 10-12 to be scouted, whereas under a Barca (or Swansea) system, they are spotted and nurtured. By the age of 21, size means bugger all, not least if you have the ball.

I trust and it is evident from our approach v Hearts/Manciti that BR understands football, proper football and will seek more players, whether they cost £15m or £15 quid, who can play football.

The upside of this approach is that intelligent players/people like Allen, are far less likely to demand obscene wages. The team ethic BR is promoting, akin to Shankly, and Barca is rooted in socialism, collectivism and self-sacrifice: For the team, the ball, the supporters, the place. It saddens me that so many 'fans' w rant about our unwillingness to pay £120,000 a week, as if £20,000 a week was not so grossly detached from our own financial reality as to make us sick.

Some will say 'you have to pay for the best talent' - wrong, you have to find the best talent, work out whether they share the ethic of the club, team, then sign the ones who do - they'll know that £50k a week is ok to live on - I bet Xavi, Iniesta, Messi did and perhaps still do.

Sign who you will, Brendan.

{Ed006's Note - Walcott, aging? 23 years old...}

Walcott is young, but in some ways old: He's already demanding >80k wages and despite years under Wenger, hasn't really delivered.

Walcott is NINE DAYS older than Sinclair!!

Maybe walcott has been around soo long he thinks theo is old. but he does have it right everyone is aging.

Xavi, Iniesta and Messi are all on over 200k per week. I think Messi is on 350k a week. {Ed052's Note - No he's not}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:39:11
Sinclair offer accepted from Man City! cross him off the list. This makes Walcott look even more likely or affalay.

30 Aug 2012 10:23:36
Let's be honest if we sell carroll and replace him with class striker if not world class then no one is going to complain for me its all depends on his replacement. Ed52 really really apreciate your time mate a big thank you {Ed052's Note - Welcome. I cannot believe people want to keep Andy - if he goes then bloody Llorente COULD come in. Or another equally classy stiker}

It would be like playing with 10 men if Carroll plays the style BR wants us to, he wouldn't be able to keep up with play, we may as well have my granny playing.

Big Bill

Ed052 get in son.!

tell em....... {Ed052's Note - HAHA}

Brilliant Ed 052 your the only Ed that talks sense, il'd guess you ggo regular to games? Well done Ed {Ed052's Note - I do, thanks}

why is everyone saying huntelaar will sign... hes not in our critiea hes 29 probablygot 2 seasons good ones left

30 Aug 2012 10:18:35
Permanent or loan ed? {Ed052's Note - Who, Affelay - probably a permanent}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:16:45
Who is the winger BR is on about is downing and that he wants to get rid ? {Ed052's Note - SInclair/Walcott Downing will stay}

Joe Cole probably.

He was talking about targets..we can't get them in on those wages unless we sell.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:14:10
so, carrol, adam, spearing all out, and bringing just dempsey in????? i know he did well at fulham but so did adam and blackpool and henderson at sunderland, not sure if he will be a big success coming here, also they way he refused to play for fulhma, he sound like a spoiled brat {Ed052's Note - No, if Carroll goes then another Striker and Winger will come in - if not then Adam and Spearing will cover Dempsey}

Adam was a on season wonder, henderson was never a star player ever. dempsey is a star at fulham and for usa (who are getting better and better each year.)

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:12:18
Ed,

I know there was a buzz at the beginning of the transfer window that we may have a surprise signing. Reading online today I'm beginning to hear of reports linking us to Fernando Llorente, how true is this?

O'seunfunmi {Ed052's Note - If we get rid of Carroll we may move for him. BUT, we are really really struggling to get rid of Andy, and Llorente would no doubt reject us anyway. However, on the glass half full side, if Andy goes, we might get Llorente as he wants to move and is running our of options. Highly unlikely set of circumstances thought}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:09:15
theo wallcot about to sign a 5 year deal at arsenal {Ed052's Note - No he ain't. Why would he now - he, his agent and Arsenal are looking out for the biggest fees and wages}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:07:40
I'm getting a bit worried now, will we sign anyone else? {Ed052's Note - Dempsey. Have you read the posts?}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 10:04:22
if dempsey was to sign today is there a chance of him being available for the arsenal game?

Veedub {Ed052's Note - Maybe}

That would depend on the spitefulness of fulham, as swansea were spiteful over allen.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 09:59:41
Am in complete agreement. He is potentially a good player. Young, committed and can develop further

Just at the wrong place, wrong time.

30 Aug 2012 09:58:33
There doesnt seem to be any more deals for liverpool as Rodgers has confirmed that they are not in a position to spend at least in this transfer window. So I think that is the end of the rumor mill now.

He hasn't, it's not

Jen Chang let the cat out of the bag at a Liverpool ladies game last night regard Walcott. Someone asked him what are the chances of Walcott and he replied "Looking good". {Ed052's Note - where did you find this out?}

Me thinks someone had to much Chang beer.

Why are Spurs ahead of us in the racse to get Afellay, eds?
JayB {Ed052's Note - Becuase we have other targetss}

Lol...Ed052, you are the real deal. {Ed052's Note - why thanks}

Just love your positive and rational takes on our crazy ramblings. Any chance your last name Rodgers?

Because he isn't all that good. Also poor physical strength which can result in serious injuries occuring often. I'd prefer other targets over him.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 09:50:33
Can we knock the Carroll stuff on the head. Carroll will not ever fit into Rodgers style of play - he is not that sort of player. He is very good and effective with the right style of play but that is not how we will play. It's not Carroll's fault and it's not Rodger's fault and nothing can be done about it. Irrespective of what Carroll thinks he wants, stand back and be objective. The best thing for him as well as us is that he moves to a club more suited to him. It is actually unfair on him to keep him even if he wants to stay. RED LENIN

Really don't understand your logic - he is a professional footballer, who possesses certain skills, how many times did crosses go unchallenged in the City box on Sunday, that maybe Carroll would have been on the end of.
Also, if the BR quote is correct - it won't be a 35 million pound player as 3rd choice striker, it will be his current value, which after a quote like that will be no better than 10 million by tomorrow evening.
Carroll can do a job for LFC, and for the price we will get for him, keep him, he wants to stay, no one we are being linked with are any better.

John B

Completely disagree on this one, carroll can and will succeed here if given the chance BUT people need to get out this typically english approach of 'hit up to the big man and see what he can get on it' it was the same with crouch too.

carroll is good in the air but also good with his feet and got a bit of pace for his height, the only thing that will prevent him from doing well is his team mates using him as an easy out route.

i personally hope the lad stays and proves people such as your self wrong, i think he has the ability to become one hell of a player and ill be gutted seeing him lining up against us.

gary

Disagree completely! And disagree with Rodgers style too, if we're losing in a cup final with 5 mins to go, Andy is exactly what we need!! {Ed052's Note - No, Walcott is what we need}

It's unfair not to give the lad a chance , he's kept quiet no been moaning and Rodgers is the educator why doesnt he try to educate. Not fair making a judgement on a player so early in his managment reign without giving him a chance. The few mins hes got so far he looked impressive and looked a major threat....#Unfair

Carroll is a million miles away from being the player to fit into BR system. You have to take sentimentality out from this one. We all wanted to see AC do well but i'm afraid it's his movement and awareness that let him down. It's never worked for him at LFC. Time to move on

Not sure I agree. I mean how is it that nearly every other player on the team can fit into Rodgers style of play but not Carroll? Is Rodgers style of play a passing game? I mean these guys are professional footballers - ok Andy so instead of being the target man we want you to pass, move and score!! Of course he can do it - if you tell me he can never fit into his style of play then we better sell skrtel, Johnson, Gerrard, Agger, etc.. I think a player who vastly improved at the end of last season and who is eager to stay should be given a chance and not undermined.

Other than the lack of available cash forcing a sell to buy policy, I don't see the rush in selling Carroll so early on in the season. If he were to score half a dozen goals and depending on how results pan out for LFC and NFC. His value would be higher. If NFC were outside the top six, they would take the risk to strengthen in the Jan window. We all know first hand Jan transfer window is inflated, so why not wait. I also don't buy the theory of having to many forward options, each game throws up completely different challenges, the more options the better. All i am saying is FSG need to sanction approx 20m to buy another striker, they will get their money back in January if they need to sell AC. Better than sell to buy.
I also can,t understand how many Ariel crosses are coming in when AC is on the bench, seems like everyone is confused.

30 Aug 2012 09:49:15
From my source at the club (canteen lady gave me BR used tea mug and I read the tea leaves) Walcott interest is a smoke screen for late Sinclair bid. Adams will leave, Spearing/Wilson out on loan. Not sure re Carroll as Brendan had dunked his Rich Tea biscuit and it has made reading a little more difficult. The leaves did say we would sign a Tottenham player though.....

Sorry, Modric has been sold.

Believealble until you said smoke-screen!

Can we please not start the smokescreen rubbish!

Ha a smoke screen for a late Sinclair bid!...

According to a website if Liverpool offload andy carroll we shall bring in fernando llorente {Ed052's Note - Unlikely. Offloadoading Carroll is the big problem}

Out:

adam, spearing, carroll

I think Carroll will go for around 14-15m to Newcastle, would arsenal be interested in downing? Good luck to jay and Charlie if they leave they have potential to be big players at smaller clubs!
Cocko {Ed052's Note - No, Downing to arsenal wont happen}

After the alleged quotes in the media this morning - no one will offer that much for AC now - they'll wait till tomorrow evening and offer no more than 10 million, well if I was Alan Pardew ( or Mike Ashley ) that's what I would do.

30 Aug 2012 09:26:51
Hey eds.
Can someone please explain why big Andy is being forced out by Brendan ? I'm lost. He's not really been given a chances to adapt.
Harry from Nottingham {Ed052's Note - I just have given a full explanation why}

Harry, Carroll clearly doesnt fit the system and is not going to be a part of BR team. Not sure why this is so hard to accept.

BrisbaneLFC

As I've said numerous times on here - the replacements speculated on here offer no more than AC, only an opinion but I think it will be a big mistake selling him to a rival.

John B

Is there just the one system? What if that doesn't work?

Brisbane - going by your logic then, the following need to go:-
Carroll
Henderson
Downing
Adam
Morgan ( not go the greatest movement )
not forgetting that he also wants Cole and Spearing to go.

that will leave us a bit short in squad numbers I reckon.

John B

He can never adapt, he hasn't the balance to play in the formation we need, his height and build go completely against that.

He's not being forced out, he is just not suited to Liverpools future anymore. It was mistake paying so much for him especially as we were looking at sell on value...who has ever been bought for £35 million and sold for more than that?

None of it is his fault though, he didn't want to leave Newcastle in the first place. If we have to take a large hit on it then so be it, tiem to give him a chance to sort his career out, it was Liverpools error getting him and putting him under the pressure of that price tag. It's daunting enough coming to Liverpool as many players have shown in the past, so much expectation, it was just added pressure on top of that.

Henderson would perfectly adapt to BR style.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 09:26:35
Ed 052, Got to say I'm really pleased with your view on this Andy's situation. Personally, I find the obsession with Carrol quite unhealthy. If we keep him, it would hurt us both on and off the pitch in terms of goals and finances. We will pay his wages, yet he won't play much. We need to sell now as a matter of necessity and bid for Loic Remy and Scot Sinclair seeing as Walcot is somewhat douatful. These two would create and score more goals than Carrol.

In addition to that, the money we get for Adam and Spearing could be channelled towards Dempsey who would also add to our goal tally and we would be sorted for the time being. {Ed052's Note - Haha, thanks mate}

Am in complete agreement, Carrol will never to score enough goals to warrant his wages and a place in the first eleven. He will do a good job for another team in another system but his touch, movement and inability to play quick passing movements means that won't happen for us. Ten minute cameos will never get him up to the speed required as demonstrated by one of his first touches on Sunday when he Suarez tried to play a 'one-two' on the left wing only for Andy to nearly put it out for a goal kick. Thanks for service Andy but time to move on son, for your good and the club's.

Ciario

REMY - behave.

Am in complete agreement. He is potentially a good player. Young, committed and can develop further

Just at the wrong place, wrong time.

Hey eds.
BR has stated that the club will not be making any further signings due to the financial position of the club. Is this just a smoke screen to keep things quiet or are we really not going to do any more business? imo we need a genuine goal scorer to challenge for the top 4. {Ed052's Note - We will still sign players dont worry}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 09:17:06
Heard it might be a very busy day tomorrow for us, most of the groundwork will be done today but not much completed due to the game tonight, but don't be surprised to see a few new faces in the stands tonight ahead of moves tomorrow. I've heard as many as 4 new faces in & as much as 5 players out. I've heard Dempsey, Rhodes, Walcott & a big loan signing coming in & Adam, Spearing, Cole, Downing & Carroll going out.
Staff in the clubshop have been asked to come in at 10pm on Friday night to start printing shirts, LFCtv are setting up at Melwood live & SSN will base their north west transfer updates from Melwood.
Anfield peasant worker!

Rhodes is off to blackburn

Rhodes? Did it not work out for him at Blackburn? Thats a pity

Rhodes is gone to blackburn and walcott has signed a new temp contract... {Ed052's Note - No he hasn't (Walcott)}

Rhodes has joined blackburn

 

 

30 Aug 2012 09:16:56
How likely do you think it is that Dempsey signs (or at least a fee is agreed) today Ed?

Cheers {Ed052's Note - High high}

Why on earth would we wait till now to sign Dempsey - we've played 5 competitive games already - if we really wanted him, we would have signed him by now surely, or are we that stupid as a club now.
No real need for an answer to that - it appears we are going to lose 25 million in 18 months on AC, 5 million on Charlie Adam and if you believe others on here as much as 10 million on Downing - just to sign other players with the similar or less ability, answered my own question.

John B

Who are we signing that has got less ability than Carroll, Adam and Downing then?

We haven't signed Dempsey because Fulham wanted 10 million so we backed off a bit, we are waiting until deadline day to get him cheaper so Fulham have to get rid of him because he refuses to play for them...now if we bid 5-6 mill we will get him, risky but a good bit of business

We r signing him this late coz the transfer fee will be really low. Fulham wont want to lose him for a free next season, they will probably take 5million for him now.
Indian Buzzer

Well John b, you're a ray of sunshine today aren't you?!

The captain

Nah,i'll answer yur question for yu(about dempsey),the reason why we've waited till now i believe is what is called 'FORCING ONE'S HAND'...if Dempsey is hell bent on a move to liverpool like its been made out to be,then there's no perfect timing than the deadline period .I believe yu can take it from here pal

 

 

30 Aug 2012 09:15:37
If BR has actually said that Carroll is not wanted - then he isn't very clever after all - he has probably knocked a massive amount off his value. Pardew and any other manager will wait till Friday evening and offer peanuts, won't get 10 million for him now.

John B {Ed052's Note - He hasn't stated that. Carroll just hasn't been picked for the squad tonight}

He said " I can't have a 35 million pound 3rd choice striker sitting on the bench or a winger on 5 or 6million pounds a year doing the same"

Danny.

Ed052, I would assume that Carroll has been told privately that he isnt part of LFC's plans moving forward under BR. Would I be right in assuming that?

BrisbaneLFC {Ed052's Note - Yes}

Sorry Ed052 - my mistake for reading the papers and watching Sly Sports. BUT if it is true then we would be lucky to get 10 million tomorrow night. {Ed052's Note - He is a possibility}

He stated that Carroll is a reserve player.

Carroll isn't forcing his way out so it's not the same as the Dempsey issue. We could easily keep him till January or send him on a 6 month loan to somewhere (AC Milan?)

 

 

30 Aug 2012 09:07:59
BBC reporting that we will move for Fernando Llorente if we can mover on Carroll in time, just wondered if any of the eds have heard anything?? cheers guys.... keep up the good work... great site.... {Ed052's Note - He has alwasys been a maybe - but I cannot see the Beeb reporting that}

The been are not! It's in there gossip column taken from the newspaper

It was in the Beeb's Gossip Column - so from a newspaper not BBC directly {Ed052's Note - hahah, ok, thats why it's rubbish then}

Why would BR ditch Carroll and buy a slightly more polished version of teh same player. If you want to try and work out BR's favoured type of striker, look at Danny Graham as a prototype and work up from there :-)

Dawkins

Beeb Gossip Column reporting something the S*n have written

Would definitely be a trade up, Llorente one of the few genuine target men who could fit into BR style. But can't see it happening

Even worse when you see what newspaper it was taken from.

Dempsey will sign.
Walcott won't sign.
Sinclair is extremely possible.
Carroll will go.
Llorente 'could' sign.
Adam will go.
Spearing 50/50 to go.
Downing won't leave despite our attempts to find a buyer.

The plan? 3 in, 3 out.

Tom.

That seems plausible

That's 4 in and possibly three out

Just saying

30 Aug 2012 09:02:53
Its funny how we go from having to many Midfielders, to possibly loosing 2, and having one injured for a while - now were left with hendo, gerrard, allen, sahin, shelvey and dont rule out seeing suso make an appearance there and then - finally a manager who knows spearing has got no talent.

Liverpool to sell Adam and Spearing and bid for Clint Dempsey, whilst any bids for Carroll above £16mil will be accepted and Liverpool will use the money to bid for Lewandowski of Dortmund.

JMRED

I think your being harsh on spearing . Yes he is not LFC standard but he has played premier league football for a couple of seasons and none of us can say that can we . I bet you wish you were as talented as he is playing for the team you support I know I do .

I'm very happy with hendo, gerrard, allen, sahin, shelvey. A strong presence while allowing for young players to get a look in. We cant have world class players just lining the bench waiting for an appearance so we need this potential for the youngsters to play. The genuine chance to break into the first team will attract the best young players to Liverpool rather than the likes of City or Utd and Chelsea

30 Aug 2012 09:01:54
Will Spearing be leaving on loan or permanent transfer. Also what's the chances of Afellay?

Cheers,
Hassan {Ed052's Note - Permananet, and Affelay is between us and Spurs, with them closest to getting him. but we are in with a good chance if we a) want him, b) other targets fall, and c) we make our move soon}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 08:54:41
Ed can you make your prediction for deals to go through before deadline is up?

I would like to get rid of Carroll, Downing, Adam and Spearing.

Sign Walcott, Dempsey, Sturridge and Llorente.

How likely to happen? {Ed052's Note - I get stick for making predictions - even when I am correct, but never mind. I think the chances of Carroll leaving must be high, Adam and Spearing should both go today, maybe early tomorrow. Demspey is a high possibility, almost certain. Walcott is a possibility. Sturridge wont sign. A small small small chance of Llorente, but I do doubt it}

Llorente and another man (maybe his agent) seen at melwood.

No better than Carroll - unproven in PL - big mistake, hope his sighting is another Ken Aguero.

Torres was unproven in pl

Llorente is nothing like andy Carroll he's alot more mobile more intelligent a better finisher better passer so underrated should be in the Spain team ahead of Torres!.......but we won get him.

Square tomato

Torres has pace , better finisher than llorente , mobile , can past defenders that's why he's suited in pl . I don't think llorente would be a better option than carroll , i'd prefer to leave carroll till jan and give him a last chance to prove his worth

Hi eds is Dempsey are last signing or will we get someone else {Ed052's Note - There will be more than him, dont worry}

Dempsey will not be joining Liverpool.

Hi ed's after i heard the news that walcott is stayin which probably will happen, do you see BR stepping up chase for Lennon

Every top team is or packed with wingers or following a winger or trying to keep his winger

I personally think that aaron is better than Theo (of course not as quick)

but better in the final third

And tottenham puts him up for sale do you think we might do a sneaky offer for him or will we be looking at other players

Thanks

Belgian Red {Ed052's Note - No, and Walcott could still leave if a suitable deal and fee is agreed}

FFS is this how low we are setting are sights now

Whats wrong with Walcott? He might not be the big name many of us crave but he is an established international player.
I trust Rodgers ability to increase Walcotts technical ability which will make Walcott a real threat to anyone.
Add in the presence of his pace will make defenders sit deeper creating more space in midfield for Rodgers possession football and he could be integral to our game.
Just my 2ps worth TSB

Walcott is a much, much, much, much, much, much better player than back-to-the-medical-room Lennon.

Stand fast Andy - don't be forced out, you know you are far better than any of the supposed targets, only Saurez is better in the striking role in our squad, and even he misses the target more than you.


John B {Ed052's Note - I really dont understand why people want to keep Carroll.

a)He wont play,
b)he wont get any better
c)he will warm the bench
d)Doesnt suit the style of play
e)We could still get a good return on him, is he bench warms for a year we will get only a few million.


AND, if we sold him for about £16 - £18 million, then that would mean we could afford Walcott and Sinclair. Now who would you prefere? Carroll, or Walcott and Sinclair (or players similar in standard) 2 players for the expense of one sounds a cracking deal to me}

I'd rather have carroll {Ed052's Note - Really?!!. A Carroll who wont play and wont score, or Walcott or SInclair or both who will score, bring pace to the team, be able to play Tika taka, and will actually score}

Carroll every time - Walcott and Sinclair offer nothing more than we already have, Carroll gives us other options, the other two don't.

John B

I'd rather keep Carroll too ed. Everyone says he can't fit in to pass and move football but I think he deserves a chance to prove himself after his end of season form.

Kieran {Ed052's Note - It could be all too late by then my friend}

Come on people i am a big fan of Carroll but he simply isn't a player for Rodgers. We must support the manager and the club not individual players. Carroll will go on to be a success elsewhere but not at LFC under Rodgers, let him go!

Ed I think CArroll is far too underrated. He was never used frequently not even last year and when he got a run of games we all saw what he was capable of. Scoring goals out of nowhere, his shots are very dangerous and he can mess the defense only by his height.
2 PL matches if he was used from the beginning instead of wasteful Borini we would have had 6 points now.

Carrol will score if you look at he games we have played so far we have missed some one in the box who can actually header the ball, corners have been lased in and straight to the keeper, Big andy carroll would have been all over them. I know he slow but he can retain the ball get it down and get us playing again, how many times have we seen the ball hoofed out from the back to there defenders he scares them and will make them make mistakes which hell benifit from or suarez/borini will be there to nick it. also he can sure hit a ball from 30yards Im sure hell come good and its a shame that we buy a young lad for all that money and just say sorry you not good enough.
Carroll should stay he will play for the shirt if we and the club support him give him cofidence and hell start banging them in.

I might be on my own on this one but I think he could be a star if not well sell him and hell start being a £25mil striker for some one else and probably score against us.

Dragon3383

Ed if we sell caroll then we need to buy proven striker not crap like walcott or sinclair if rodgers wants to make his job easy then shouldn't even think about players like sinclair or walcott coz they are not our answers we need striker who is going to solve our goals scoring problem neither walcott or sinclair are out and out strikers if we get 18M for carrol then we can buy at least a class striker if not world class {Ed052's Note - If we sell Carroll then we will bid for a big Spainish stiker - but it wont come off unfortuantely}

Carroll for me too with the addition of Walcott, surely you have to mix up your style of play to out wit the opposition, Carroll's morale is at an all time low atm I'm guessing and he deserves the chance BR promised when he took over.

HI Ed why would us going for a Spanish striker not come off if you don't mind me asking

Dragon3383 {Ed052's Note - Becuase he might not want to come}

Dragon - you obviously missed skrtels goal vs city then.

Did ed52 just say Carroll won't score.... tut tut tut.. Given a chance and he will {Ed052's Note - Well he hadly has in the past 18 months}

I saw Skertals goal but I also saw that when sketal was doing his job at centre back ( as thats his postion not a striker ) that when we got he ball up to there box that wed cross it and no one was there or too short to get on the end of it. I watch every game and try to go to matches when ever I can. Try watching the whole match not the highlights on TV or just that one goal.
Try looking at the overall picture.

Dragon3383

Total Started/substitutions
35 Started
4 On the bench
23 Substitute
9 Substituted

nearly half the games he never played for for 90mins, we also have to look at the other players playing left right and back again the same as what we are doing this season.
Its so frustrating we get the ball up and we go back again

His headers wreak and powder puff majority of time, your going off about 3 publiscised goals as oppossed to not being able to even turn neck to flick a ball and numerous easy chances missed. Ed trace John B's posts him and Carroll are one and the same person-got to be or how can one person be soooo wrong!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 08:19:59
James pearce of the liverpool echo believes dempsey as due on merseyside he thinks 80% done deal waiting on spearing deciding where he wants to go. {Ed052's Note - Yes, this all seems like the jugsaw is fitting into place. I said this all at 12am this morning haha}

That still gives us 20% hope it won't happen.

He hee great response....love it.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 08:17:21
Eds, aren't any of the teams interested in Christian Eriksen ? {Ed052's Note - Loads}

Which is a surprise given his dreadful performances at the Euro's .................

 

 

30 Aug 2012 08:09:29
Running the risk of making myself unpopular here but anyway: Personally, I don´t think Sturridge is worth the money and I am not even sure we should be looking at Walcott. Dempsey´s stats speak for themself. Very fit, not injury prone, at least 4 years left and for 8-10 mil or whatever we might get him for - that suits me! We are not top 4 yet. We don´t have the money that Chelsea, City et al. have. Instead of trying to sign the biggest neames (i.e. Walcott), lets look at players who we can bleeding afford without leaning ourselves too far out the window!? . To get money, we need success and to gain that success we need goals. If that means signing cheaper players that aren´t considered "world class" but that have shown promise with teams that are beneath us in the league, then so be it. We have a reputation that speaks for itself but we haven´t had any Champions League action in a while, nor have we been top 4. I don´t want Chelsea or Arsenal´s bench warming hand me downs just because they are top 4 .Dempsey is the man, in my opinion. Lets see where that takes us and not bank on big names for big cash with shaky stats.

The players brendan looking at and we might see as liverpool players by friday night-
Sturridge 40%
Huntelaar 20%
Sinclair 60%
Dempsey 90%
Walcott just seen him up in liverpool with his family they got here early for none to see them i bet so i give this one a 90% of signing.
Players brendan dont rate and trying to get rid of-
Adam90% stoke 5million
Spearing 100% bolton/villa 3million
Andy carrol 90% going left out of tonight game looks like west ham going to make a final bid but we all know deep down that hes going my oppion is that hes not good enough he ad one good season in the championship hes alright on is day not good enough for lfc i seen all the legend down till the 70s and 80s and we got to look at who can be like though we got luis hes like the king but we need a goal scorer like rushy i think dzeko or get the god back fernando torres. We all miss him deep down i know we got suarez i love suarez but when torres was at lfc he got nothing on fernando when all the down in anfield used to say they never get the buzz before the match everyone couldnt wait to see fernando hes a legend. Imagine him and suarez but we all can dream.

Took us nearly 20years to find a manager like brendan hes going to be a god at andfield in brendan we trust

YNWA

Lfc5

Apart from possible when was the last time we signed a 29 year old - let alone 2 of them !!!

Sturridge knows his career at chelsea is over - sounds more like a desperate come and get me plea rather than any real interest from LFC - BR talks about having the right attitude - Sturridge does not !!

Someone posted Walcott and BR share the same agent , remember Arsenal bought Walcott for £12.5m - only reason to sell him cheap is to avoid add ons or AW believes Oxlade-Chamberlain is better and he will sign more players

Arrival of Sinclair or Lennon is the more plausbile

Leam Red

Lfc5 how sure are you it was walcott yiu saw? reports all saying hes staying till jan at least! steviep62

How can you put a percentage on a signing when you have absolutely no clue on what is going to happen?

Suarez gets my man-love over Torres all day every day

morning eds.

could you please tell me why rodgers is getting rid of carroll, is it just because of money or that he does not fit into his style of footballl,
because i think andy has being treated awful,

why get rid of a 23 year old and buy a 29 year old
to replace him, i don't get it.

when rodgers girst came he said he would give every player a chance, but he never has.,

I think stevie or jamie had a word with rodgers about him, and told him to get rid.

or is it carroll never wanted to be here .



thanks for all your hard work

chrissy {Ed052's Note - Both for Carroll mate. He wont play, does not fit the style and we can get a bit of money for him.}

Who cares about age? If you are fit and good enough thats all that matters. Dempsey will get us more goals than Carroll will thats for sure, Carroll has struggled to score since he has been at Anfield, sell him off and get whatever we can for him and use the money to improve the team. If you love Carroll so much then follow the team he joins. Its all about Brendan here now.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 07:27:49
Eds,do u believe Carroll will still be sold this summer? {Ed052's Note - I am not too sure, we have been trying to sell him for donkeys years (No pun intended), but we have been stuggling}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 07:24:49
Andy could stay until the January window if a deal could not be struck. Wallcot might not join but Dempsey will be done soon. Surprise signing would be Llorente!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 07:16:23
affaly to snub liverpool over spurs maybe lennon instead? eds any info? {Ed052's Note - Nothing at the minute. He does look like he will leave, I am not sure where.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 06:38:25
SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES!!!!.
02 Jul 2012 09:38:40
now with the euros over BR can make his move for Fernando Llorente Torres

Yep the 6f5" from bilbao,we tried to sign a few years back,at 27 FLT had the season of his life last term,and with less than a year left to run on his contract,he and Bilao are looking to cash in!BR will open the bidding at £20m.

Todays news CARROLL out as,Liverpool linked with Fernando Llorente bid!

REDMAN

Still can't se it happening tbh

 

 

30 Aug 2012 06:06:24
just heard from a friend of mine who works for the FA she has told me 3 players will be registered with liverpool tomorrow these are
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar £10.8 million
Clint Dempsey £6 million + Shelvey on loan until Jan
Theo Walcott £12 million

Out will be
Adam to Stoke £5 million
Spearing to Bolton £4 Million
Doni to Gremio £1 Million
and a shock departure is
Joe Cole £2 million West Ham

Great news Guys

Had me till the shelvey shout

 

 

30 Aug 2012 05:47:11
Ed's I think u should start having 1 Ed on night shift! Cuz for us in Canada, America, at like 5-6pm everyday we see no more posts cuz u guys are in bed. What u think? {Ed052's Note - Maybe mate. There should always be some of us around though. Although at the minute I seem to be doing it 24 hours a day haha. Just a 17 hour shift yesterday for you all!!}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 05:44:27
Hi guys I think seriously this is what's gunna happen!
We will sign Dempsey, regardless off what sales!
We will sell Adam to stoke...
We will sell spearing to one of the meny interested!
I'm pretty convinced that Newcastle will come in with a bid in the region of 15mil for Carroll, witch will be accepted...
Wich will see Walcott race off to Liverpool to complete his deal!
I think that's a pretty realistic last couple of days!

You may have Spearing right - that's all.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 04:44:07
Walcott? All right winger, not that accurate with crosses, but can bring the ball into the box just running with it bloody fast! can imagine them with glenno terrorising defenders! At least he's much better than later Kuyt) First time since a long time there could be a proper pace and flair on both wings!! Plus Dempsey. And we shall make it to january all right! Jackie. YNWA, JFT96!

Personally, I think Walcott is a striker not a winger!

ed052what makes u so sure about dempsey signing 2morrow berbatov to fulham doesnt mean dempsey will sign he could sign to another team good for u if u get this one right and hope he does sign sorry ed052 if u get this right thanks lfc-ullah {Ed052's Note - O dear, I am getting stick already. Well, people want deadlines, and then I get critisised for giving them. Well Adam and Spearing are almost out of the door, and Fulham look to have got a replacement sown up}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 03:22:29
hopefully this gets posted to ease my mind that i am not insane, am i the only one who doesnt want wallcot or sturidge to sign, i think there two headless chickens who apart from pace have very little to offer for there price tags, not a football brain between them. am i mad? jimbo super red

Sturridge did pretty well at Bolton on loan I thought. At Chelsea, though, you are correct but I think that's because he is trying too hard to stay off the bench and prove he's a great striker. For Walcott, I think he's improved dramatically from where he was a couple of seasons back. Of the two I'd prefer Walcott, but I don't dislike Sturridge as much as others seem to.

Hmm..

well i thought he adds another dimension to our attack. And i think walcott is better than sturridge.

No you're not out of your mind, the fact is signing those two could go either way, world class forwards or inconsistent show ponies! It's a risk and we would be paying top dollar and wages for the next four years. GED

Sturridge has scored more goals in the pl when on loan at bolton for 6 months than Carroll has in his 1year 6 months at Liverpool

 

 

30 Aug 2012 02:54:25
start sterling on sunday?i hope so, it was really refreshing to see him play well and see us finally having a acadamy presence in our attack again.sorry arsene i dont see any goals this weekend either for u!

2xboo

Hope so, but i think it is unlikely.

They have no goals against 2teams that park the bus in sunderland and stoke and still manage some decent chances.

But we will see.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 02:42:18
Why does BR want sturbridge? When he is layer who rarely passes the ball! That's being kind now isn't it? Hes worse than a six year old only child! Doesn't fit our pass and move idea does he? In my opinion huntelaarwould be a far better buy even at his age as he is a proven goal scorer with a real presence! A 'big name' as such compared to a kid in many respects. I think walcottand Dempsey would both be decent buys too. Unfortunately BRs comments would suggest we'll be quiet over the last days and to a certain extent stuck with ANDY and joe both on big money and he made no secret of their position calling them squad players and they can't be on benches at those fee's ect. Poorly handled surely?responses welcomed
Danman

 

 

30 Aug 2012 02:25:41
Walcott has told arsene he wants to go he has agreed he can go if he wants but asked him to wait til january and he wont stand in his way. Arsene doesnt want to lose anymore players as he wants the new players to settle first. Walcott has agreed so not moving unless stupid money is offered. Brendan is now speaking to swansea regarding there asking price for sinclair

He play decent defensively but he never go up (in match i've seen him.)

Ha ha no agrees!

FOX Soccer premiered the trailer yesterday for their upcoming behind-the-scenes documentary. Originally entitled "Our Liverpool: Never Walk Alone," the new title is "Being Liverpool."

The documentary will premiere on the free-to-air FOX network in the United States on September 16, 2012. Future episodes of Being Liverpool debut in prime time on FOX Soccer and MundoFOX beginning Sunday, September 23 (9:00 PM EST), with repeats on National Geographic Channel, FSN and FUEL TV.

The six hour-long episodes are being made available worldwide, with multiple Emmy Award-winning producer Scott Boggins (formerly of HBO's renowned "24/7" series) leading the project.

While the trailer for the documentary looks interesting, and I'll certainly watch it, my initial pessimism about the documentary — when it was first announced in April — remains. It looks like a puff piece for Liverpool Football Club.

I would like the documentary to be as objective as possible, to shine light on topics and conversations at Liverpool that will make the club feel uneasy. My expectation for the documentary is that it'll be like any good documentary — that dives into a topic, pulls it apart and shares what is seen.

Perhaps my expectations are misguided. After all, the documentary is being made by FOX Soccer in close cooperation with Liverpool FC, so it's in the best interests of both parties to make an entertaining film that is not going to make Liverpool FC look embarrassed. What I'd like to see, instead, is reality. I'd be more interested, right now, in seeing what gets left on the cutting room floor.

FOX's decision to select Liverpool FC as their first subject of the "Being" documentary series is a wise one. The club has a proud history and they're going through a lot of change at the moment. At the end of the day, I hope I'm proven wrong. I hope that the final documentary is more open and honest that I expect.

Whatever happened to 'Being John Malkevich' ?
Don't you just love American culture - NOT !

Lol eds. how't that the same?

 

 

29 Aug 2012 19:59:20
Could Ed002 confirm if we are still monitoring junior vicosa and Bernard? Thanks

30 Aug 2012 01:23:16
Hey eds, I was just wondering if you believe anybody else will be signing that will have a significant Impact on the squad, with Adam and spearing most likely going do you think there is any other midfielders coming in, or possibly a chance of us buying a new lb or cb as cover for Jose Enrique, and skrtel and agger? Thanks, keats {Ed002's Note - I will stick with what I have said. One or two ins and outs - "significant difference" is a real tough one to call.}

It's not a back up for Enrique he's after, it's a first choice LB.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 01:16:52
Reds might go in for Fernando Llorente if they are able to offload Carroll. Would be a great direct replacment! Hopefully its true. DAPred

Then why not keep him??

 

 

30 Aug 2012 01:11:11
Message to A.C wether you or us fans agree your not wanted by powers that be. Dont embarrass yourself lad move on. And then we can all get sorted.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 00:51:36
Adam is still needed. Thinks of the quality from blackpool and at times here last year. Our best performances involved him last year! For goodness sake LFC if Sahin, Allen or Gerrard get injured now with lucas out for 2-3 months we will rely on hendo and shelvey who arent quite there yet lets face it.

Both hendo and shelvy are far more talented than adam ever will be , unsigned clueless person .........andy

Actually Shelvey in my opinion is twice the player of Adam! Adam was only good at Blackpool and looked brilliant because everyone else around him were really poor so he stood out!
Throughout the pre-season Shelvey was one of the better players, granted he made a few botch of things he was playing quality! His range of passing is improving all the time and he's quick on the ball! Especially against man city with Allen they ran the midfield against yaya toure, nasri, & de Jong!
Charlie Adam is alrite, he has a range of passes available but he's too slow, overweight, slow on the ball too, and cannot tackle to save a life!

Charlie Adam: Stoke make £5m bid for Liverpool midfielder
By Ben Smith
BBC Sport

But sly sports report £4m whice one is right Eds ? I personlly believe BBC.

r-r

Heard its £5m rising to £6.3m with add ons!

dmedly

 

 

30 Aug 2012 00:43:22
Having read through all the rumours i've come to my theory for the rest of the window:
- Adam will leave for £4m to Stoke, Spearing to Bolton for £3m and J.Cole will leave for West Ham (£1-2m).
Danny Wilson will go on loan, probably championship in order to get regular games.
Dempsey will finally be signed using Spearing and Adam funds. Affelay may be brought in on loan - it's up to him.
Finally, if Carroll is sold then expect some last minute interest in european forwards with Huntelaar, Sturridge, Walcott and Llorente all being candidates.

But in saying that - I am pretty sure I am done with marrying after three - now it will be living in sin. Or shaking some action on a Thursday night.}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 00:39:10
One thing I watched and I hope you also watch is Clint Dempsey on ESPN's E60 show on youtube. I really hope we sign him and give him our full backing. Remember we are all human and all have a story ;)

Liverpool will play nice football but will score few goals.
Nothing ever changes.
Suarez about 10. Borini about 9.
Dempsey about 11.
The others about 2 or 3 a piece.
Do the maths.
8th or 10th place.

Goals will come! Jackie

Sly Sports are reporting Stoke have bid £4m for Charlie Adam.
I say "snap their hickin' hands off".
Charlie won't get a look-in this season.
The KK Project is being systematically dismantled. Keep Henderson. Sell the rest.
Lots of money will have to be written-off but it makes sense to get certain players off the wage-bill.
If we can sell Cole, Adam, Carroll, Eccleston, Pacheco and Spearing we can recoup the best part of £30m, reduce the wages and bring in more quality. Downing at Left-back (?) could work (reviewable till January).
Bringing in Dempsey, Walcott/Sinclair and maybe Jordan Rhodes (as back-up) would give us the width and firepower our new-found creativity in midfield craves.
Sahin, Allen, Gerrard, Henderson and Lucas will be the strongest central-midfield around. They are all in place. Our defence has Agger, Coates, Skrtel, Kelly and Carrager as CB's and our full-backs are Johnson, Enrique, Robinson, Flanagan, Downing(?) and Kelly.
Firepower comes from Suarez, Sterling, Borini and Carroll (if he stays).
Good business will see us bringing in the above-mentioned, meaning an immensely powerful squad.
Although we do appear to be leaving things last-minute.....!

Completely non-transfer related, but someone below had asked who made more- baseball players or footballers.

Pulled up the stats I could find quickly and found the following (converted to GBP from USD for the American side)-

Average EPL salary per year- 1.1M GBP
Average Championship salary per year- 210k GBP
Average MLS salary per year- 88k GBP
Average MLB salary per year- 2.1M GBP
Average NBA salary per year- 3.1M GBP
Average NFL salary per year- 1.1M GBP

Just thought it was kinda interesting- shows how widely regarded soccer is here in the US, I suppose with the average MLS player making something like the same as an average League 1 player.

On a related side note, if Dempsey does come to us, I imagine it'll be the highest transfer fee paid for an American? Anyone know if this true or not?

You know david beckham is paid all of that 88k lol....

MLS average wold be heaps less, but for Beckham!

I ed's heard that sinclairs move to city is being held up because once swansea have excepted a fee, brendan can then match it, leaving sinclair with the option of going to city to replace adam johnson, in a bit part role or join liverpool and play for a manager who knows him, and would probally play more games! Heard swansea still bitter with brendan about joe allen, so will make the deal go close to the deadline, leaving no time for liverpool to swoop! What your take on it ed's? Probally why we are going for theo instead! Thanks
Titi Camara! {Ed052's Note - Sinclair is an option for us. He is City's first choice}
