Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

31 Aug 2012 22:09:35
Just to start off a message to all future posters who are asking 'is there a chance of damiao now': THE ANSWER IS NO TO ANY PLAYER WE ARE DONE, OKAY!!!
Anyway..This is an absolute DISGRACE. FSG are completely INSANE! 2-3million more to get Dempsey, 3million!! That 3 million could have got us 20 goals (if he repeated last seasons performance), which could have got us top four and champions league, and subsequently a large cash injection from that. For the sake of a measly 3m (in today's football market) we may have sacrificed our chances of top 4. Two strikers, one of which is very unpredictable (scores the odd screamer but not a week in week out type of guy) and a young man adjusting to prem football. I am literally lost for words, there is no way anyone could be this stupid, its not possible!
Personally I think it's time for a protest, just to give them a wake up call and let them know we will not except these DISGRACEFUL transfer dealings.
Furious.

Ed I know you won't post this I am totally gutted lost Dempsey to spurs for only 6m can't understand let caroll go only 2 strikers now have no chance now totally gutted been supporting the redmen since crown paint days back to mid table again damn

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:09:24
Please post Were a joke how can we loan Carroll out and not have two at least coming now Dempsey is up at spurs talking fsg what have you done we lost Bellamy maxi kuyt Adam spearing Carroll and brought in sahin Allen borini where's the strength in depth absoulat joke were far weaker .. R u Hicks and gillet in disguise .... Des heartioned red...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:09:20
Liverpool will announce a signing just after 11pm. Not Dempsey, but a player far more exciting! Why else would they shut up shop and go home early? It's a done deal.

Because their only target Dempsey went to Spurs after Liverpool left him waiting all Summer over the sake of 2.5 million.

FSG and Ayre bent Rodgers over a barrel.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:09:13
Let David Moores buy the club back, what a shambles

Are you for real?
The Moores' family failaure to realise the way football was going with the advent of the Premier League has led us to where we are now, and left a huge gap that Man Utd were happy to fill.
Plus he'd probably buy the club at a vastly inflated price leaving nothing left for transfers, hasn't got the greatest record on carrying out Due Diligence...

Good one that guy sold his soul and got us in this mess in the first place

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:09:12
spurs just signed dempsey , took them all off an hour to do the deal where as we have been dicking about for 3 months and got nowhere ,its a disgrace , ayre should be chased for being incompetent , we be lucky to get top half of the league this season , am so pissed off to be honest , have to say letting carroll go with no replacement is mind numbingly stupid!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:09:08
Spare a thought for Rogers has done all has been asked of him cut the wage bill by trimming the squad I imagine he was given assurances that he would not be left short up front. Hard to fathom what's going on just when we have a good feeling about our team the rug is pulled from under. Still love our club will back our players and our manager but something is amiss at our great club. Now Borini or Luis bagging few against the gooners would ease the pain though. C'mon the pool

Hi ed's although I am disapointed that we didn't sign Dempsey, i'm glad we didn't get strung up and pay over the odds we need to lose that tag of paying more than you should for players,
What I don't understand is that what about other players i and I believe you aswell thought there was more than just Dempsey coming in what happened to the pause deals?

Kind regards

The southern red {Ed001's Note - how is 7m over the odds for a top quality player? They just didn't work out, Sturridge fell through, Damiao we never came close to matching the demands, all other deals were already dead and buried.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:09:00
Well done ayre and fsg. We let Carroll go and replace him with know one! If you think this is the way to make the club great then think again. Who else in the top 6 has done this.
Die hard Liverpool fan becoming very concerned with the direction we are heading. We can play all the pretty football but unless it goes in the net it's all for show

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:08:37
Wot the hell is goin on this is an absolute joke we get rid of players an shorten our squad for nothin if we get injuries now we wil b struggling wot on earth or they playin at! We always get left behind! We r Liverpool football club! An spurs r gettin our deal the owners av not even spent tht much they av got a lot of money bac in! I was excited now fearin wit only 2atrikers an one tht still needs to get used to the prem! Yeah we wil prop play brill bt yet agen we wnt score!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:08:31
Dame eddoo1, what do u make of what has happened today mate? {Ed001's Note - utter disaster. There is a complete lack of leadership from Ayre, yet again, we need a competent CEO now. I have no problem with the club signing no one today, if they hadn't let so many players leave and continued to sanction outgoings even when incomings had fallen through!}

I couldn't agree more ED001, absolute disaster for the image of the club and that the support of the fans.

31 Aug 2012 22:08:12
It is the duty of every LFC fan to make the current ownership aware of our anger at the ongoing incompetence of how our club is run.

The very least I want is Ian Ayre gone.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:08:10
Suarez, Borini, Asaidi, Downing, Sterling, Morgan, Yesil

Gerrard, Lucas, Allen, Sahin, Shelvey, Henderson, Suso

Agger, Skrtel, Carragher, Coates, Wilson, Wisdom

Johnson, Enrique, Kelly, Robinson, Flanagan

Reiner, Doni, Jones

Letting carroll go without a replacement was not clever. However, its still a great great squad!

PJ

Have you noticed that 11 of those players named are defenders? We are well and truely screwed once again as we have no out and out striker thanks to those money grabbing yanks playing hardball.

You believe downing , morgan , yesil are good enough to lead us for the top 4? if yes then you're lying on yourself

Except for the top line i agree but lets face it that looks alot weaker than most other teams in the prem

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:57
Is this is a reality check that our mighty lfc has become a second rate team

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:55
ed is it possible that brendan sees the new young german striker as a first team player ? We might all be surprised by this young lad.


johnaldinioh {Ed001's Note - no, he was signed for the U21s.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:55
So we offload all these fringe and high wage players....to sign f)(&^%^& noone. As an American Red fan I think FSG are a joke! How could you let Dempsey go to a rival. How do we not have any forwards coming in? WTF is going on...we can't score!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:53
Eds, in light of tonight's events (and I know you can't see into the future or anything), what can you see happening tomorrow in light of the fact we now have a skeleton front line? Surely there'll be a good few questions to be answered?

JFT 96

JP {Ed001's Note - I would hope that FSG remove Ayre from his position with immediate effect and appoint a proper CEO. Having said that, what I expect is the same as today, nothing.}

Well said Ed001. Spot on.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:52
OK, Dempsey is a loss as he wanted to come and has the right attitude. Would've given us a physical presence up front that we now don't have at all. Big screw-up from FSG and Ayre. It's not all doom and gloom though. Looking at our nearest rivals I would say that Arsenal are weaker than last season, Newcastle will struggle to maintain their form as a suprise package, Spurs have had lots of key players come and go and will take time to bed-in the signings (especially with the incompetent AVB in charge). Chelsea's dodgy defence has just been torn a new one by Athletico, we outplayed Man City and Utd are overdue a sustained period of misery. If the team can work hard and keep it's collective pecker up until the January window the owners might give BR some cash to spend.

31 Aug 2012 22:07:52
Forget playing 4-3-3 this season it's 4-6 Barca style from now till January....

Curled1

Suarez a false number 9 becaude he defiatly couldnt play as an out and out center forward

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:51
This is not acceptable - FSG are too fussy - I seem to remember something similar happened last year - and spurs pipped us to a player (can't remember which one now)

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:31
dempsey signed for spurs its a sad case when we cant even sign players from small clubs like fulham but let ac away on loan really disappointed who will play up front now borini i know is only starting but dosent look the part and suarez is good but isnt an out and out scorer last nights game showed how much we need a striker really pissed off

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:31
6 million paid by tottenham for Dempsey and liverpool could not afford that???
Well hope the youths can score goals or else we relegated and never be promoted again

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:30
FSG and ian ayre, be ashamed of what you are doing to our great club

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:24
Well Well We coudnt stump up 6 mill for dempsey says it all! FSG=JOKE

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:20
Dempsey has signed for Spurs for £6m on a 3 year deal. £6 MILIION and we couldnt agree a fee. Disappointed but still hoping for a last minute bit of excitement though. Fingers crossed.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:17
Well I guess it shows us. Waste of time!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:05
i am disgraced...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:04
**** this, I'm not renewing membership again due to these tight ****s. Let's hope th person who put the Dempsey info up on the website gets put in the stocks at anfield on Sunday.
FSG have been outdone by the mighty Fulham. Shows we have clueless owners and need a DOF to sort the mess out.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:07:04
So hacked off I don't know where to begin!! FSG have just cost us a champions league place! No goals in our side whatsoever!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:06:56
We just keep goin backwards......

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:06:39
So let me get this straight: you have to pay extra for LFC tv, and the benefit is that you find out early that we are too cheap to sign any more players?

Brilliant business by FSG!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:06:36
Dempsey to Spurs! FSG are a joke. I've lived LFC for 40 + years no more I've had enough of this rubbish. Yanks out!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:06:31
We lost Dempsey for just 6 million are we in financial trouble Eds cause i find this news worrying.
If not the case i believe FSG need to feel the wrath of the fans, as we ar now a laughing stock and Tottenham has pinched a quality goal scorer from under our feet. God help us this season {Ed001's Note - well we are losing money.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:06:30
In Heskey We Trust

He is a free Agent

Unite him with Owen

#Sarcasm

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:06:29
Ed - how serious do you think the owners are about taking the club forward and getting back into the CL? The Dempsey debacle tells me they don't mean business! Especially after the big wages we've got rid of this summer. {Ed001's Note - only time can tell that, personally I think Ayre is at fault, he was in charge of the negotiations. The only reason to blame the owners, would be if they told him not to go any higher, which I doubt.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:06:21
thats it... It's all over. Spurs bag another!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:06:14
Owners save $260 Mil in wages from Baseball.

won't increase their previous offer by just a million to secure Dempsey, who wanted to come to the club.

Disgraceful

RW

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:06:14
Today has mad us look like a bunch of amateurs, they should not have let Carroll go unless we had replacements, ridiculous! Hate to criticise my club but what has happened to LFC who finished 2nd in the league just 3 seasons ago!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:06:11
Dempsey 3 year deal Spurs for £3million. We received £5million for Adam and wouldn't spend £6million on Dempsey?? RIDICULOUS!

Now we only have two strikers, one is 21 and one in Suarez isn't an out and out goal scorer as we've seen and would be much better playing on the left or right of the three.

Very poor LFC.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:05:55
Ed's can you open a new site called, You can rumour everyone but we will sign nobody!

Ernie

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:05:52
I'm not bothered about missing our on Dempesy because I never thought he was good enough. I have also always stuch by Rodgers and FSG (check my previous posts). This transfer window is looking like a car crash though. I am happy with Sahin and Allen coming in and also not losing any sleep over Adam, Spearing, Kuyt, Maxi or Bellamy. However to let Carroll go with no replavement is just madness.

We are left with Suarez (great player but not a line leader), Borini (not a Premisership1 st XI player) and Morgan (untested) as recognized strikers. Even if Suarez played every game he wouldscore less than 20 goals, Borini and Adam are unlikely to get 15 between them. This season Gerrard will probably once again be our top scorer even with half the season out injured. Teams like QPR, Fulham and Sunderland are showing more ambition than us. We are genuinely looking as if we will be in a relegation battle this season, we can forget the Europa league - Hearts would have had as much chance. This is a shame as I still thing Rodgers would be a good manager but FSG needed to back him and by all accounts they have failed miserably.

As I said earlier I have not criticised FSG or Rodgers previously as I believed in us being run in a financially responsible way but making a profit when going to the secong tier for the first time on 50 years is not responsble.

31 Aug 2012 22:05:45
If Dempsey really goes to spurs then that's it for me and Liverpool. Brendan has obviously got no clue what he is doing. He even stated himself that we need a goal scorer! I'm not slating anyone but come on eds u all said we were gunna sign at least 1 person? Wtf

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:05:36
Absolutely livid with FSG and that "yes" man Ayre tonight. Not only did they embarass the values of the club by playing a very public game of brinkmanship (and losing), they have totally undermined their, suppossed, hand picked management team inclusive of BR. No doubt he is livid also probably explaining why he left Melwood early tonight. Added to this we have actually strenghtened one of our major rivals by letting Dempsey join them!!! All for a measley 1-2m, jokers and complete amateurs on this evidence. YANKS OUT!

Ciario

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:05:31
outraged, all the owners needed to do was fork out 6m for dempsey and they were too damn stubborn from what it sounds. missed out on a real bargain there. now we have suarez to score all our goals. great.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:05:07
No one else coming in at Liverpool tonight, BR cut a dejected figure only an hour ago. Dempsey undergoing medical at Spurs, only other rumours are on fringe players leaving unfortunately not the big wage earners which may have allowed others to come in

FSG out !!! they have just cost us any chance of breaking into the top 4 .there a disgrace !

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:05:00
Get these rubbish yanks out of our club,no ambition wotsoeva ,our club is becoming a joke,the team is weaker than last season wots gna happen if Suarez gets a long injury ,we-LL have to rely on borini,n Ian arye didn't even av the balls to face the camera at melwood, bollox

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:58
Its going to be a long, long season one record we will be breaking is our own record for how many times we have hit the post in one season. Gutted.

KNEE JERK

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:48
It looks to me like fsg were just tryin to save face with lfc fans making out we were Going for this player and that player with no intention of singing anyone and just offloading players to save money.these people are very dangerous.lfc fans should be very worried.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:39
What a farce...laughing stock.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:38
No ones coming in! Lost out on Dempsey he has joined spurs for a bargain 6million.
Joke getting rid of Carroll on loan. Hope Suarez stays fit all season and Borini turns out to be good.
Roll on January I guess!
Faith in Rodgers YNWA

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:38
Just a thought. Have we highjacked moutinho? Haha

31 Aug 2012 22:04:37
So Spurs got Dempsey for 6million. FSG are a joke - we are saving that in Carrols wages!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:31
2 million was the difference, surely thats peanuts for a football club. Sooo angry!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:30
Dempsey joins spurs 6.2million confirmed cheers psv

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:29
Let's not get on BR's case, we all know that he doesn't hold the purse strings. It's down to Ayre and FSG if we haven't signed any more players, so give the guy a break.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:28
Biggest anti climax ever.. I'm so disappointed.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:27
shocking no one to replace AC just hope none of our strikers get injured

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:27
Eds it seems like fsg r broke pls answer {Ed001's Note - even if they are, I can't believe the club couldn't find 6m for Dempsey when we offloaded all those players.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:23
WTF are we going to do if suarez gets injured the one area that really needed depth has just been taking apart big time now im starting to get worried

gee man

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:18
So it's official. We are now the smallest club in Liverpool. I cannot believe what is happening to my club. £6m for Dempsey and we won't or can't afford it, whereas Everton are spending money like it's going out of fashion. What the hell is going on?

Fishyred

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:14
LLoris 12m! how did we miss that i would have traded him in for reina within a second

We wouldn't pay £6 million for Dempsey. So no chance of paying £12 million for a GK.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:05
6m what a joke i cannot be-leave fsg we need them to fo were they come from

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:04:04
Regardless of the outcome at 11pm tonight, I want to thank the EDS (particularly 052, 063 & 01 - i hope i got the numbers right) for their diligence, patience and hard work on the sight this past week and especially today. Your work keeps interest in LFC alive far beyond English shores ! I've been flipping between the banter and rumour page since easily over 18 hours now. Thanks again and keep up the great great work !! ra1969

P.S. The fact that the club has mismanaged and literally bungled this summer's transfer window is another matter all together and will undoubtedly be discussed at great length in the days to come. So more patience and diligence on your part to be required !! ;-) {Ed001's Note - I feel like crying anyway! I will no doubt be reduced to a wreck in the corner over the next few days. We really need to beat Arsenal on Sunday, or the whole season could fold.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:03:58
Liverpool, who won the last of their 18 English titles in 1990, have finished sixth and eighth in the Premier League over the past two seasons. Henry and the chairman, Tom Werner, said transforming the club's fortunes would take time, with a squad in need of strengthening and an inflated wage bill to reduce.

"We looked at how the situation was financially, with the player contracts and the youth system," Henry said. "The further we went into it, the more sobered we were. Looking back at the day we bought Liverpool, I was trying to make a point then about how much of a challenge it was going to be because of the issues we inherited.

"We had a lack of depth in the squad and some really high payrolls. We also had issues with the age of the players and so forth. We knew it was going to be very difficult."

Werner promised FSG were serious about building for the future. "We feel that we have work to do," he said. "We feel that we are behind - but we are on it. Do we feel that it is possible to get on a level with [the top European] clubs? Absolutely. We can close that gap and compete at the very highest level. Absolutely."


tom werner speech on how fsg were going to rebuild liverpool
w****r

Lol
love the person at the end

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:03:45
I really thought we had the chance to better last seasons 8th and poss push on for 4th I really hope I eat my words but I just can't see us getting 8th again . I know we have a couple of players who still need to play ( sahin Assaidi and the young german ) but are they going to get us the goals we need ? No so sure myself

Hi Eds..As a Liverpool fan I am as pissed as any of you..down the season if we need a striker(I would say we need one ryt now)..Can big Andy be called back from loan in the future..is that something we are technically allowed to do? {Ed001's Note - I don't believe the Prem League rules allow it.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:03:39
so we let bellamy, maxi , kyut , carrol , adam , spearing , aquallani , pachecho and a few mores go and only bring in four players for a season when we also have europe?

Plus letting 2 players go to spurs who we had direct interest in handing them 4th place?

These owners are only interested in making money down with the FSG.. money greedy yanks


True Red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:03:37
Dempsey signed for Spurs. This is a f-ing joke. Why get rid of Bellamy who fitted BR formation and style and Carroll who didn't and not replace them. The best bit of transfer news would be FSG going. We are seriously going to struggle this season. FSG have hardly shelled out a massive amount of money we got £50m for Torres ffs!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:03:35
I am sure only signing tonight will be one Michael Owen

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:03:28
We've failed to sign Dempsey. Shame. He was the best Mid in the Prem last season

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:03:23
Wtf are fsg doing? one minute we are spending 20 million on henderson, and the next we are left with no strikers

31 Aug 2012 22:03:12
We got weaker on deadline day, albeit saving money. Tottenham strengthened significantly. Looking forward to a tenth place finish

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:03:01
oh well i suppose we can look forward to mid table finnish again then good old liverpool fc very poor owners

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:03:00
Tonight just shows how weak we have become in world football! We cannot even compete with Spurs..... Shocking how far we have fallen.

We will become a mid table club at best. Feel so sorry for Stevie G. Given his whole life to the club and can't even help him by signing a proven goal scorer.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:02:43
Quite the most pathetic day in our recent history. We've ignored, in fact weakend the area that needed strengthening. deeply saddened.

Muzmacol YNWA

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:02:41
Chelsea have demonstrated tonight that it isnt all about the big money signings. If we get behind our club and support the players we have, we have a better shot at top 4 than if we all bitch about what should have been in the transfer period. We can re-assess in Jan, we can recall Carroll. We have Sahin, Allen and Borini and Suarez IS a goalscorer, look at his Ajax and international stats.

Come on fans YNWA

It's his Liverpool stats you need to look at... Znot good enough

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:02:38
Dempsey's signed for Spurs, Liverpool owners should hang their heads in shame if we cannot afford to meet a £7m transfer fee. Gonna be a long hard season.

Red Edward

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:02:38
FSG - you just screwed the season......

Well done.

31 Aug 2012 22:02:33
Just a rumour...but rogers has stitched us up...no established players yet we get rid of 3 today...gutted..

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:02:33
Eds whats going on, I cant believe we missed out on Dempsey, we spend loads last season on unproven players this year we have spend hardly anything.
Come on liverpool {Ed001's Note - brinksmanship, Ayre tried to play games when we were in a weak position. He lost, badly.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:02:26
Why didn't we have someone lined up to replace andy Carroll b4 we let him go, would rather ac than no one, rubbish bit of business done by the yanks( not Liverpool), hope ac scores 20+ goals now thought br had complete control of transfers surely he wouldn't of let ac go without a defo one coming in sad sad sad

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:02:06
I truly believe that today's debacle could prove to be the end of Ian Ayre and FSG. They are not going to be popular with the supporters and BR. They are making the club look amateurish and I dont think they know how much anger is going to come their way. I support BR but it appears the club have stitched him up!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:02:06
Anyone giving the owners grief over Dempsey are wrong. Fulham were NEVER going to sell to Liverpool unless we offered silly money, forcing Dempseys hand. Dont get me wrong, the owners should have had other players lined up and not tied Brendons hands behind his back and then blindfolded him. Hope they dont shoot him, they love guns in America. Billy Mc. {Ed001's Note - they asked for 7m! Hardly silly money.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:01:58
I think fsg not rogers have got 1hr to sort this mess out and bring in a striker or else i think there game is up and people will start calling for there heads

I think FSG couldn't give two tosses about it.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:01:54
This makes no sense. 2 strikers when BR says we need 3. Something must happen surely...

Tika Taka can be played without a striker

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:01:47
Got to be honest absolutely gutted by the complete lack of signings. For a club to be challenging for the top honours (and I accept this is a long term project) we needed more depth and firepower, seems to be that we are just getting shot of high wage earners and sitting on the proceeds. Poor poor window and lack of options upfront is appalling.

Poor window? Come on, we've brought in some great players for the current first team squad and for the future. We didn't bring in another striker, which is disappointing, but overall I think we had a great window.

I think Brendan rogers has got rid of flops on high wages and up to now FSg have been good. But if there is no reinforcements we have been condemned as a mid table team I hope not Ynwa ken

Fenway sports group are you Hicks and Gillette in disguise? No strikers, so no goals. We will be lucky to be in the premier league next year. WELL DONE!

Bet Suarez and skrtel are delighted they committed their long term future to us!

Seriously I'm a red sox fan and a Liverpool fan and the way fsg is dealing with transfers today is absolute bullsh*t. They've never dealt with MLB free agents this way, when they wanted players for the red sox they got their man. I know it's two differenc sides to their business but the lack of decisiveness and ambition and refusal to spend a couple more million is ridiculous. I'm sorry fellow reds fans. This is crazy. We need a striker simply put.

LFC, built by shanks, ruined by yanks (again)

Built by Shanks! I think you mean that Second Division club with no money and the poor neighbours on Merseyside. Do you honestly think that the owners are going to let this club slide again. Why would they, it's not in their best interest. I think that within the next few seasons we are going to see a massive change in the rules with regard to the spending of huge amounts for players and the slaries that they can receive - not before time. Liverpool will have no problem then - other clubs will - and we will be back on a fairly level playing-field. One thing that does annoy is the fact that many fans were complaining just a few days ago about us signing Dempsey and Sturridge and are now complaining because we didn't. The STRIKERS called Maxi, Kuyt, Bellamy and Carroll didn't score all that many goals so I don't think that we are going to be any worse off without them. The goals will come.

Hi Eds n fellow bemused reds

im going to say it and i dont care wot anyone else thinks..these owners can lick the back of them..more yanks who havent got one feckin clue about football..

lets look at this..

we need a striker so badly its unreal..so wot do they do..get shot of AC..KUYT and bring in.............................NOBODY...excellent..great buisiness decision...my dog could do a better job

31 Aug 2012 22:00:43
It's a pathetic show really. BR must be dissappointed with the owners. Dempsey now signing for Spurs which takes them even further away from us although their manager is dreadful.
Just makes you think of the wasted millions last year with Adam & Downing. We had a lifeline from FSG and ducked it up, so no more risks. Fair enough I say but it doesn't help BR strengthen the team and get goals.
As Ed 002 says, suck it up & move on..

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:00:40
LFC , FSG, Ian Ayre....hang your heads in shame! You are no better, if not worse, than Hicks & Gillet. We want you out and the Kop will make their feelings known on Sunday.
Redman12

 

 

31 Aug 2012 22:00:40
Just a happy thought to try and cheer up myself and all my fellow reds out there,

BR wants us to start playing like Barcelona, Barca have started playing a 1,4,6 system without the need of strikers. Maybe BR has decided its the way forward so he's decided to throw caution to the wind and follow suit.

At least if I start to think like that it will cheer me up tonight.

Bloody hell everyone stop moaning. We have got rid of a lot of wages this window, it's a business we have not been in Cl for a few years Our first eleven are pretty good and we got some good kids coming through. I for one am more excited that we have a confident young manager with a LOT of coaching experience. And so what if we don't panic buy on the last day. A lot of good teams haven't. Let's just see how we get on

Tom

Shut up fool. stuart

6-7 million for dempsey is not even close to a panic buy.

Yeah because they have enough players in every position and we have 1 striker and 1 winger who can play striker who is young and unproven.. and they expect top 4...

we got lots of sponsorship and will save 27mish on wages this year but we cant afford dempsey what an absolute joke

Thanks for this mate. Everyone else is losing their heads like it's the end of the world.

AmRed

Tom are you kidding me? who do you support again? this LIVERPOOL FC we don't want to see what might happen with the current squad we want to see progression and fight for number 1 - 4 place in the league now how do you think we will do that with a squad that is fighting to win against the likes of west brom and hearts. I'm realistic others are in the clouds if you think we are in for top 7 yor in for a shock. Sad day for liverpool. Tom please think about where we are

Here,here !! B

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:59:53
Not a rumour, but I think there's gonna be a bit of a backlash from the fans if we dont pull something out of the hat tonight. I personally don't think we will. We seem to have shafted ourselves in yet another transfer window...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:59:50
If we were going to sign damiao he would have to have a medical in brazil as its an 11 hour flight so I remain hopeful until the deadline.

Lil Red

I want him to sign but im sure the club would have said something buy now. But you never know. He could have had a massive price reduction from 25 mil to 3mil and we wouldn't of signed him.

31 Aug 2012 21:59:50
so we let all these players go and bring in nobody on deadline day? what's happening with the sturrige deal?

rumours are not what we want...why dont you get a website up and running that tells the club and fans how everyone are truely feeling....there used to be one on a website but they dropped it...its what the fans need...not just lfc but all clubs.....we need to vent our frustrations!!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:59:33
Any progress we have made over the last 3 months has just been undone today. 35 million for Carroll to nothing. FSG not going to be stung again but they need to learn some lessons on how to conduct transfers because LFC are the laughing stock of English football at the moment. We will have to play reserves in cups to improve on 8th place in league. Werner stated Rodgers was chosen to produce relentless attacking football then they need to back him. They have let a lot of people down today and only time will tell if they will recover the trust and belief.

Its looking like we are going to be short up front again until january

My wife has been telling me that I'm short up front for years. That may sound like a crude joke but my point is that we have been very happy for forty years (since the divorce!). The point is that we know what we have and work very hard to be a success and believe m it works.
DM2012

You think FSG will be paying higher prices in January than they could have in the Summer window? LoL

They've given up and i believe will soon be looking to sell. It's patently obvious they don't give a ship in the dock about where we finish,m otherwise they'd have refreshed the squad after Rodgers made such an effort to clear players off the wage bill.

We've let Kuyt, Maxi, Aquilani, Bellamy, Adam, Spearing and Carroll go. We have Rodgers on live tv saying he expects more signings with no signings coming in. Can't you see it's a fluster cluck?

Ed's said it, i fully agree. Rodgers has been feed lies. He'd have never let Carroll go if he knew when the window closed he'd have been jilted on deadline day.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:58:50
Dempsey and Lloris have both signed for Spurs....

 

 

31 aug 2012 21:58:41
this is down to fsg not rodgers

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:58:24
Ed's there must be some seriously rich posters on this site

People are acting like to get £3M by nipping down to an ATM like FSG just have money like this down the side of their seats.

N.I Red

We save over 20m on wages this year... surely they can add 3m for 20 odd goals

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:51:48
Why do we always miss out.... Players are even saying please come and sign me and we aren't talking man city and Chelsea prices we are talking £5 million plus 2 million add on...... Sorry state of affairs...

31 Aug 2012 21:51:41
what if ....lets say Suarez gets injured . we literally have no strikers as sub. Morgan is not good enough. using Downing as LB and Cole injured we dont even have wingers as sub.. well Assaidi but how good is he, we still dont know. Im really really not liking this. Very dissapointed in FSG and the way this has been handeled by Ayre and Rodgers. Seems to me its all abot saving money for FSG. Buy a manager with low salary compared to other BPL clubs and selling off high salery players and buying cheeper options. They dont give a f*** about this club other than money

What a shambles. Big Andy gone and not 40 goals between that squad we have now. We need 2 strikers for the goals. Mid table,early cup exists and Rodgers reputation in tatters. Thats unless theres a magic rabbit in that hat.

I'm not sure about you Eds but i want someones head for this, ridiculous how we didn't have adequate backup deals or not even just bow to the demands at this stage. {Ed001's Note - I think Ayre should have been removed in the summer, now his position has to be untenable.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:50:37
Eds Has it really got to the stage where as a club we cant afford 7 or 8 million for a player. DISGRACEFUL

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:58:14
looks like FSG only interested in recouping losses from last year. Better to have invested to recoup over longer term - club and atmosphere of hope in tatters!

FSG showed their true colours, lying deceitful slugs.

If i was Rodgers i'd be tempted to jack the job in on the grounds of principles. But the Yanks would most likely enjoy that as they wouldn't have to pay him off like all their other mistakes.

Ed's any idea if we can call Carroll back from West Ham United Tomorrow? :)

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:58:13
Diabolical transfer negotiations and handling from FSG and BR! Simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!

Not BR's fault. Ian Ayre and owners at fault.

Irish Al

BR did his job perfectly. If your wee mind can grasp the intricacies of transfer dealings you'd understand any fault here lies with Ayre and the board

Seriously how can buck be to blame he lets them know who he wants and ian sorts the negotiations so for me the buck ends with ian airhead.hope they enjoy watching us dominate teams and no end product same as last year.Tommy Irish Red

Do not blame Rodgers.

Well not really 8 out 4 in, and lets be fair BR has done the best he can with what he's been given. And when has any one player or marquee signing won it all in there first year. belief, confidence of the men around you and team spirit is when we will achieve greatness. NOT THE MOANING SULKING SO CALLED FAN WITH LESS PASSION THAN A GRAPE FRUIT IMO. Shut the f**k up and feel fortunate that the club is still here from the mess we were left in from the last owners, if i remember correctly within hours of administration in which we may have been in a similar kind of state that Portsmouth are in at the moment.
i personally am very happy with what we have as every player we have wants to be there will translate BR master plan for us all to witness, in which im pretty positive about tbf. as they say Rome wasnt built in a day and lets not forget that it was only 2seasons ago that newcastle had only just got back in the premiership and i think that says it all about the game we love as anything can happen on the day.

SSN saying Dempsey agreed terms at Spurs.. We have come out of this one as a bit of a joke club, the guy hit 1 in 2 last season and is defo worth anything up to 6-7m. Unless we get some other players in we are going to be short and be a long season. Lost out... Thanks, Alan.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:57:31
Why havent the club F- offed Joe Cole? He is on the most ridiculous wage. Let him go then there is 4mil of wages we dont have to pay. The management side of the club is a joke, giving away crazy wages to rubbish players No wonder no one wants to leave. Arye you are a gronk.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:57:24
I don't think this is the end of the world, but we won't be able to compete in all competitions this year. I think all cups will have to be sidelined if we want higher than 8th place in the league... also, that will be dependent on few injuries and a bit of luck.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:57:13
Perspective
BR doesn't fancy Carroll and was never going to get on.
Others Walcott Sturridge not available.
And we are playing chicken over Dempsey
Do you want a knee jerk over the top fee like we did for Carroll .. Don't you wish we'd pocketed Torres £50 m and been patient. Yep me too.
Yeah we are light up front.., Morgan and others have a chance.
I'm disappointed he's offering Henderson as make weight as I rate him..
Chins up.., through the storm..., extra kitty for January and when are targets come available.
PistolPete

I agree with most of what you said but paying an extra £2.5m for a player who scored 20+ goals last season in the premier league in a relatively poor team is nothing!
Spurs must be rubbing their hands at our failure!

Irish Al

Extra Kitty in January?

Our owners couldn't fork out £SIXm for Dempsey, where are they getting the money for us in Jan?

They run two Clubs and I think it's too much pressure for them to be honest.

That said, I think they are cheapskate owners, I think they couldn't care less about LFC, I think we're Red Sox cash cow, I think they are running the club the wrong way and I think they haven't as much money as people would like to think.

Cheap-skates best describes them imo. They want EVERYONE at the club on/or at the cheapest wage possible!

From manager to players wages...Fac!

Gareth

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:55:30
I am speechless.
2 strikers who arent prolific. 3 half decent forwards have left for 1 million. An average one on loan. Dempsey 7 million is a STEAL. 20 goal player is what we need! Suarez is 15 and Borini is average! 3 million is nothing. WHY COULDNT WE FORK UP 3 MILLION? Rodgers is fine, but FSG need to buck up their ideas because he gave us a come get me call and we cant cough up 7 million!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON?

An extremely peed off red

31 Aug 2012 21:55:09
Do not blame FSG for lack of signings - the blame falls squarely on BR's head.
If it is FSG then I believe BR's position is untenable, he has to resign on principle, it was his decision to let Kuyt, Maxi, Bellamy, Carrol, Adam go, and a few talented youngsters go as well - he played Morgan last night on the hope that he would be ready, on his performance he is another Mellor and won't make it at Liverpool.
He has signed a great midfielder in Allen, a striker that needs time, and a young winger with potential.
Any injuries to Suarez then we are in trouble - our only goalscorer will be Stevie G.

John B

We've just saved 23m on wages, for the sake of the long term future of this club you're supposed to support we had to let high earning ageing players go. Blame Roy, kenny & comolli for this not FSG or br.

You clueless person! He let them go to free up money for new signings which was a lot more necessary than keeping those on! It is FSG who ruined it all by trying to be too smart. They need to sell up so we can get owners with ambition.

BthekingB

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:55:06
I'm so confused. How can we go from supposedly having quite a few targets, as well as letting quite a few players go, to not signing anyone? We let a 35m striker go out on loan instead of getting at least some money, and have replaced him with noone! If fulham wanted 7m for Dempsey, why couldn't we just pay it? We need a striker, we cannot just have suarez and borini.

I genuinely thought we would sign at least 2 players today. I'm still 100% behind Rodgers, but I'm just confused with what's going on. Hopefully we have something up our sleeves!

Do you think we will get anybody eds?

Ynwa

Muzzafan {Ed022's Note - No, although there are whispers.}

Ed22 please dont tease me anymore, lets leave it as we signed no one, lets hope the german guy is world class!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:54:49
Absolute joke, Liverpool not signing anyone this window!! Dempsey off to spurs n were left with nothing as usual, that's y we're a mediocre mid table team n spurs r pushing further up the league. Joke

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:54:32
Eds i'm not going to complain just yet but could you give a bit of a round up of whats gone on today. I like all the other fans am feeling a little distressed with the fact that FSG seem to have really stuffed us today {Ed022's Note - Well I'll put it like this. In the morning we entered negotiations with Damiao and that deal looked possible, we also entered negotiations with Sturridge and we were told if he wasn't on the bench he would sign for Liverpool. However, this was not to be. Dempsey was 99% nailed on, until Liverpool's owners decided they didn't want to pay a penny more than their bid, therefore we lost him. He was desperate to come to us, but because of their stubborn attitude it was not to be. Now we are completely undermanned, and Rodgers was lied to. Simple as that.}

Given what you've said edd022 the owners really need to think about selling up after this season because its obvious they dont have the big bucks to compete at the top but to lie to the new manager is nothing short of despicable! ps They have also lied to the main people in the club and thats us fans.

Think Rogers has been undermined here eds...Surely our soccer club owners have been told(sad that they need telling) that we need a goal scorer & as we cant sign a marquee,dempsey was a no brainer for the price & doubley so with the departure of carrol,if fulham were impossible to deal with then fair enough but lfc look like ametuers not having any other options...

Matt

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:54:25
Is it maybe because cole wont go so we didnt free up enough wages?

Cudge

Top be fair even if that was their reason, they should realise Rodgers has not spent £100 million and we need back up. They (our owners) should not say, 'well sorry but thats all your getting' after selling a striker!

They have plainly and simply screwed up.
gareth

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:54:25
Am I right to believe the owners own the Boston Red Sox baseball team? The same team that recently pulled off a trade that saved them $260 MILLION DOLLARS in wage salary.

And we can't spare a few mil for Dempsey or even loan a striker to score some goals.

A very disgruntled Liverpool fan.

RW

We have reduced the wage bill by £450K which is £23.4 million a year

Have you not noticed the thousands of oil drills across the globe? That's American steel.

Here in Houston, TX USA (check IP) where Ryan Dempsey is at a clinic that just finished. Says Dempsey will not be joining Liverpool and staying in London. He didn't seem to happy at all.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:54:00
So if I'm correct or transfer window looks like this:

OUT:
Aurelio - Free
Kuyt - 1M
Maxi - Free
Bellamy - Free
Adam - 5M
Spearing - Loan
Carroll - Loan
Aquilani - Zero
Carroll - Loan
Mukendi - Loan
Ecclestone - Pending
Pacheco - Pending

IN:
Borini - 11M
Allen - 15M
Sahin - Loan
Assaidi - 3M
Yesil - 1M

Please update anything that's missing incorrect. {Ed022's Note - Ecclestone has gone.}

Theres only one Andy Carroll :)

Looks like all those people who said BR will need to cut the wage bill and will only have 25m for new players were spot on. this has deffo been a cost cutting excersize this window.

Im not too upset when I look at it like that. I think we've actually improved the squad and won't miss any of the players that have left. Yes I would've liked to get a striker but if they can't get the ones they want then I'd rather wait until they can. Let's get behind he team now and push on, we battered man city with this team so top 4 is defo still on!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:53:38
Didn't BR say he would need his head checking to Loan out Andy Carrol and have no cover !
American owners Have left him out to Dry
Sorry for All my negative post's but I've seen them first hand and was never convinced

My stomach is sinking......struggled for goals last year with a 20+ striker we stood a chance of competing for top 4. Suarez is great but not a natural goal scorer. YNWA but could be another difficult season and expectations need to be realistic, top 6 is a good season.

Top 6, more like bottom 6, if we are lucky

I believe the owners' thoughts are that Brendan Rodgers is good at bringing youth through. What they don't realise is that it takes time to bring them through and you can't just throw them into the game. The simple fact is that they know nothing about football so therefore have just ignored our requests. They need to sharpen up and give Brendan some money so we can get someone suitable in before we go into January way outside the top 4!

Could it be that Owen is going to sign but he doesn't have to sign today as he's a free agent and can sign anytime?

I hope not! Feeling let down but still hopeful

Murph {Ed001's Note - christ, don't say that! I feel bad enough as it is!}

Genius ed1 feel exactly the same

He would do till January. If Suarez gets injured then we are knackered.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:53:14
Apologies for the copy & paste but this will help prevent loads of stupid comments.
Liverpool's owners and Ian Ayre's tactics have backfired.

They were hopeful of signing Clint Dempsey on a permanent deal from Fulham and Daniel Sturridge on a loan deal from Chelsea. Interest in Theo Walcott ended two days ago.

They contacted Chelsea regarding taking Sturridge on loan and continued discussions with the club, depending on Loic Remy's move to Chelsea.

They allowed Andy Carroll to join West Ham on loan -for a worse deal than was previously offered to them, having rejected it - in the hope they could sign Sturridge today. However, Chelsea were unable to complete the deal for Remy earlier today which has meant they've rejected Sturridge moving late on in the window.

Liverpool then went in for Clint Dempsey once again in the hope they could sign the American. However, the club's earlier attempts in the transfer window to sign Dempsey has meant Fulham are unwilling to sell to Liverpool for a lower price.

As it stands, Liverpool will have to pay an excessive amount for Dempsey or be faced with having two main strikers at the club till January.

Ian Ayre has taken a massive gamble by selling Andy Carroll hoping Chelsea could complete a deal for Remy in time which has backfired massively on the club

31 Aug 2012 21:53:01
Surely Ian Ayre has to go. What utter incompetence to sell your main striker without having a replacement lined up.We need somebody brought into the club who has decent negotiating skills and is able to handle transfers speedily and efficiently without letting deals go down to the wire.The brinksmanship shown over "Dempseygate" is a classic lesson on how not to carry out transfer dealings. {Ed001's Note - Ayre has been a disaster from the moment he stepped up and took charge. A complete lack of leadership last season and now this. Has to go and now.}

On Sunday we should let the Ian "no hope" ayre we want him out!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:52:54
Fsg need to be put in there place. People say oh give thek a chance we have and look at whats happening. This is hicks and gillet over again nothing to sy they arent. They are not backing what is neccesary, no stadium. Liverpool fans need to be more brutalR

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:52:49
All these fellow reds saying shrewd not to pay price for Dempsey. I understand what they are saying, but fulham valued him and we either wanted to pay or we didn't. Clearly we didnt. You would not walk into a ford dealer and see a car for £20k and offer them a couple of old bangers for it or £10k take it or leave it.and expect a deal. I know this is very basic comparison but basically that is how we seem to be be conducting our business. Feel sorry for Rodgers, he prob should have stayed at Swansea

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:52:46
Is there anything looking likely to happen tonight?

I love the site and I'm not in the know so I enjoy reading everyones thoughts....

But surely if FSG dont pull something out of the bag that will just leave us farther down the league rather than closing the gap...

FSG are they just like hicks and gillette?? Promise the world and leave us with our nails bitten don to our elbows!
Not one Liverpool fan can be happy with this, we have not won the league for more than 20 years and now we are to settle for mid table??

If FSG dont pull their finger out its their heads that could be on the block come January if things aren't looking so good....

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:52:41
Dempsey was cheap and the yank tight arses wouldnt give more than 4.5 mill, utter joke, why put carroll on loan and not get replacement, litterally got nothing from that deal, saved a few peanuts, no higher than 6th and thats a fact!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:52:33
shocking statement of intent.. LFC happy to see potential quality slip thru the net over a million here or there. seriously where are the goals going to come from?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:52:27
Was honestly going to post this earlier when I heard the dempsey deal was off,and that was don't be surprised if he ends up at spurs

Looking forward to a fans REACTION towards FSG at the game on sunday

alan50

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:51:58
Liverpool have to sign a forward at the very least. It would be complete incompetance on behalf of Rodgers anf Fsg if they dont. So i still think something will happen.

The Irish Rover

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:50:27
Hang on what time is it its not 11 yet why all the slagging off owners still an hour left yet.
Hang the owners after 11 if we dont sign anyone,i myself will be very very gutted if we get no striker but just wait till 11.

Surely the owners arent that stupid and get rid of nearly all are strikers and not get anyone in.

Just hang on 1 hour left.

Your right mate .lfc sign 10.59 messi ronaldo and falco

How do you feel that worked out for you?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:50:27
same old rubbish trying to get players on the cheap deals should be done as soon as the window opens not wen its closing. we are probably in a worse situation now than we were with hicks and gillette.rodgers knows we need a striker .as good as saurez is hes not a goalscorer,borini not a lpool player . so we can kiss fourth place goodbye,everton will win the prem before us and i never thought id say that plz post ed would like to know ppls thought

frustrated red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:50:08
Really gutted about tonight.....
How long ago did they know Dempsey deal was off then if he has just arrived at spurs lodge?
Please answer ed

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:50:02
I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories. But, am I the only one getting the feeling that FSG are Man Utd fans. Out to ruin our club.
Cannot believe we are so slack..
Dempsey looks lost
Ramirez lost
Affelay lost
Next we'll be hearing the clubs new canteen policy is aldi food only. Proper nutrition
Eds, any eds.. Anyone out there!! Please help us
TheWatcher
Oh and did I mention messi is my brothers wife's best mates brothers drinking partner.. He put in a transfer request to join his beloved Liverpool. Lol

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:49:46
Hearing Ian Ayre has been on the phone to Big Sam asking for Carroll back....

Big Sam offered him a bag of chips and a battered haddock and Ayre accepted the deal.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:49:42
Hi eds! Thanks for the hard work! Not really a rumour but a way of venting frustration that us fans must be going through. I remember years back when we refused to pay for Anelka but signed Diouf instead for the same fee demanded of Anelkathat fans a year later said that cost us our place in the champions league! I think losing out on Dempsey and the rest will prove more costly than the couple of million the owners are haggling over! Good thing about BR is that he's giving youth a chance. Club could redeem itself by giving Suso, Ngoo and Morgan a chance, but surely that's of a gamble than a couple of million on Dempsey and co?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:49:12
2 strikers till jan then? Don't know what to think about that...................

Clint fed up of waiting and signed for spuds

Assadi is a number 10, Borini is a striker, Suarez is a striker and Morgan is a striker, i don't mean to state the obvious but that's four forwards.

Rodgers only plays one striker and two high wingers. Just the reality of it, Morgan isn't properly ready and Assadi is untried in the number 10 role.

Very disappointed with the lack of incomings today, FSG have shown their true colours. Maybe it's time for them to sell the club to someone who can seriously invest in the club and not regret it afterwards.

Ed's stoic job as always, thank you for an enjoyable day, gutted FSG and LFC dropped the ball on Dempsey and others and couldn't cap a fantastic deadline day.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:49:02
Stitched with another set ov yank owners who are useless glued to the tv all day 4 jack all will always love this club but stuck asking myself y have we let carroll go? Im stumped

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:49:02
Really think Liverpool Supporters should let FSG know what this club means to us. Their conduct during this window has been nothing short of embarrassing. What a laughing stock we will be if we don't make any additions tonight, especially after what the manager has said and who has left the club this week.
Chris

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:49:00
What an apsalout joke!
Our owners really expect us to finish top ?
Gerard don't perform anymore
Suarez can't do it all by himself
Borini not a goal scorer
Sterling is 17 an is now gunna be forced to play a lot of games!
Lucas is injured an wont be back to his best till next year!

Meanwhile our main rivals for top 4 spurs have signed
Loris
Sig
Adebayor
And problebly moutinho and Dempsey

So disappointed for our club...
The owners will get laughterd for this!
Not good times ahead!

Not to mention the fact Spurs have done it all without Champions League football.

Its not just Spurs that worry me, Fulham, Everton and Sunderland have all done good business this transfer window. We may struggle more than we imagine with such a squad, light on numbers and such dependance on youth. In transition. One thing is clear if we do well this season BR will deserve a medal.

What a disgrace to this great club...not BR, not fsg but the above poster. A complete waste of space aned everything that fan should not be: small minded, ill informed and genuinely thick

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:48:58
Just seen Ian rush in the wether spoons an he said he's been offered a one year contract but has instead decided to go to spurs

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:48:42
SHAMBOLIC

This is a disgrace, Suarez got a job to hit a barn door with five attempts, borini won't get ten mark my words.

Where the **** are goals gonna come from then and nice job everyone forcing Andy out without anyone to bring in.

I have been a red since birth and we have become a laughing stock, I am sick of having all my mates laughing at me all the time and being taken the Michael out of.

It is the end of the road for me and this shower of **** year in year out, we have sold nearly every bit of class we had on the squad over past 3 to 4 years

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:48:41
Once again this once proud club is the laughing stock of football. Been sniffing around Dempsey all summer, releasing statements and saying we've signed him, then we lose him to Spurs for the sake of a couple of million pound. This after letting one of our backup strikers leave on loan. Very bad business.
Not interested in excuses either. We needed a goalscorer and should have made sure we got one. Left it far too late, playing silly games.
Hope someone is made accountable for this.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:47:52
Fsg no better than h and g ! Promised to listen to the fans , spent how much of their own money. ? Carroll goes before a replacement , more cowboys !!!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:47:44
To quote BR "We need at least one more". Im not going to confess I know how it all works behind the scenes, but I wonder if he feels let down this evening. He has parted with AC and has failed to bring forward a team with the "Firepower" that he wanted to bring in! One of the worst pieces of football business I have seen! Yeah we have a good squad but we were all promised GOALS and I cant see LS getting over 20 this year, so who will get them Borini - unlikely? Sterling? I didnt think we would be in a position to have to rely on them. I will always support this club, even if we finish 10th I wouldnt lose faith, but its been tested tonight!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:47:26
Expect a young bench as no more signings due to FSG stubbornness, clint to spurs.
Very disappointing, expect another season at mid table!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:47:15
Sayed before saying again never sell your club to yanks sold charlie Adam and kuyt reduced masive and I mean masive wage bill sent carroll to westham to increase his value net spend again 20/25M and Demand Champions league. Haha couldn't cough 7M for dempesy even after selling charlie Adam and Kuyt. Anyways

Thanks ed mate we apreciate your time

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:47:05
So we lost Spearing, Adam, Maxi, Bellamy, Carroll and Pacheco and Ecclestone on their way out?
We replaced them with Allen, Sahin, Assaidi and Borini?
Seriously???
RedSox69

I'm disappointed we didn't get a striker (not that Dempsey is a natural striker though), but I can think of maybe 3-4 games that those players you've listed won for us between them last year.

Bellamy's the only one who's a loss, imo.

- Something Red -

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:46:51
I don't believe this we have let Dempsey slip through our hands for the sake if 7m and now he's off to spurs this is unbelievable! Carroll out with no replacement! We have got rid of so many players and not replaced them what are the owners thinking?!? Dubred

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:46:35
Dempsey to spurs....we have become also rans in the transfer market, i dont mean to come across as a pessimist but wtf...eds you have to be gutted too {Ed022's Note - I am.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:46:22
Liverpool to Sensationally bring young England Centre Forward Andy Carroll to Anfield in a £35m deal. Watch this space.

31 Aug 2012 21:46:00
Ed's No doubt we will be told the how hard they tried to secure deals..B*** S*** in the next few days...
LFC to need to take a good look at how they do business because we are fast becoming the biggest laughing stock in europe were transfer dealings are concerned.
We seem to spend money scouting players for an eternity without being first to make a move for them.
We miss out on targets due to our slow movement and then try and buy second or third back up options.
The buy young english talent with re sale value has cost us millions.
every team seems to hold us to ransom over price while we give our players away for free.
are we really that hard up to split hairs over 2 million because dempsey is 29 even though he is a proven premiership goalscorer.
A few questions need to be asked about how we do business cos it clearly is not working.
Dave...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:45:35
I might wait until after 11 before slagging off the owners. Lol

31 Aug 2012 21:45:06
Eds WTF is going on? We're going into a new season with 2 strikers are FSG for real. What if one of them gets injured? This is truly amazing. I think this really could be the end for fsg what a disgrace.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:44:45
Ed, do you think a signing would be made if we managed to raise money, maybe by selling Henderson? To be honest, I'm disappointed we didn't go for Dempsey. Guaranteed goals, surely the owners could've matched Fulham's price..
Kelly23 {Ed022's Note - Villa bid for Henderson and nothing came of it because we gave up on signings... then.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:44:18
Eds if we have no more signings before 11pm, is it still possible we could get a loan deal or 2 in the next couple of weeks, (damiao or sturridge) ?

DanS {Ed022's Note - Doubtful.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:43:47
Dempsey just signed for SPurs. Well done Ayers and FSG - brilliant!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:33:26
If this is the case and we dont sign anybody having sold adam and sent out carroll and spearing on loan, its a big indicator that the owners must be in real financial difficulty or just dont have the financial backing required to compete at the highest level, if this is the case they should just sell up.
how can you leave a club with top 4 ambitions with only 2 strikers until january at least, this is turning out to be a bigger nightmare than when H+G owned the club.
Jaydee ynwa

Selling up looks like a likely option right now!

A transfer window that started so brightly has ended as a nightmare. How can you get rid of andy carrol and not bring in another striker, its madness all we need is one or two injuries and its down to the kids to get us out of the rubbishe, what a joke

I wlouldnt worry too much.... We have 3 dedicated attackers, and many other guys with proven scoring capability. A top notch midfield and a superb defence. No worries. We are now much better off than last season with young Sterling and arrivals Allen, Borini, Sahin and this young fella from Germany. Even Shelvey looks like something this year. The players who left wasnt worth having around anyways.. hmmm Maxi..

Looks like Dempsey to Spurs, that is a dagger thru the heart.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:32:59
What is going on?? Now Spurs are signing dempsey! Surely we could have bid at least 7 million and got him. What a season we are in for now!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:32:58
Time for the banners boys. We are Liverpool FC the family of football .time to tell the soccer fans were NOT I repeat NOT happy .cheers psv

Everybody would want to relax still time in the window and every1 slating everybody maybe they did think they were going to get Dempsey but maybe they have others lined up we are not going to know who is in till the let us know just be cool and have faith

31 Aug 2012 21:43:17
Are we going to sign anyone or not {Ed052's Note - NOOOOOOOOOO}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:43:08
Heard from a Reliable source..liverpool offices are all empty..Rodgers and Iyre have left thier offices..no more signings..

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:42:34
spurs are always sniffing after our targets, AVB is a proper gimp!!

First sigurdson now dempsey. GOD I HATE SPUDS

What's the diff??....we weren't signing them anyway....may as well let someone benefit from our scouting.

Dont blame avb, blame the shower that runs our beloved club

A glimpI'm sorry but I'd love to have spurs transfers cause we have sweet f.a now

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:42:32
hey eds whats the bets on br quitting by by 23:01 tonight. because the way this window is going i would not blame him, from what i can see rodgers is being asked to pull too many rabbits out of a ever decreasing hat.

(hope he does'nt by the way) {Ed052's Note - no chance}

Was br who told ac he wasnt needed

Br was appointed because he will do what FSG wants. I feel sorry for him I think FSG made him get rid of Andy Carroll because Brendon said he would be mad if he let Andy go before signing a replacement, talk about egg on your face, perhaps FSG have got advisors who haven't a clue of the Premiership.

Bobbinred

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:42:26
Are we the new arsenal, no signings....in FSG we trust??

Listen, im as unhappy about today as every other LFC fan is however, to say we made no signings is just wrong, we didnt sign anyone today!
We have got a fantastic player in Allen, Sahin is top class, and weve got potential in Borini and Assaidi. Weve also got a very strong group of youngsters pushing for a chance.
I find it quite worrying that the ppl managing our great club have somehow created a problem where weve left ourselves short of fire power again!
We seem to have trouble in the concept of lining up new signings to replace the ones we want rid of, instead we get rid, let the world know the money we have to play with and then end up being ripped off or pushed out of deals!
On a positive note, I think we might be ok.. EVERYONE now knows they have to step up with goals, it doesnt matter where they come from, Agger or Suarez, Sahin or Gerrard.. they just need to score, scrape a win and do whatever they can to get us to January and be in a position to be challenging for something!
Weve got 12 Prem games, 6 Europa Games and a handful of Capital one games to get thru.. tough times ahead sure.. but try and remember how we played last week against City, we do that often enough we will be ok!
Kepp the faith fellow Reds.. its all we have left!
ItsNotRocketScience

We aren't Arsenal. At least they have CL football.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:42:00
Hi Eds. First of all - MASSIVE thank you for all the work and time you guys have invested for us. Highly appreciated! I do have a quick question though - why does LFC TV broadcast that kind of news (noone coming in) but there is no mention of it on our official website? They said noones coming in anymore (i.e. from statement til 11) but does that rule out that someone signed today that hasn´t been presented as of yet? Stupid question maybe but could you clarify that? Thanks! LFClass {Ed052's Note - no problem. Nobody will sign}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:41:50
Ramirez to Southampton
Dempsey to spurs all because we wouldn't offer 1-2 more million
Sturridge not happening for whatever reason


I really hope these haven't happened because of someone else has signed, really can't see it knowing Liverpool

I hope it's half full of vodka I fear you might need it soon.

Down the other half get yourself off to bed matey nothing is happening.

KNEE JERK

Do you self a favour sup up go to bed

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:40:30
So with the Damaio signing definitely not happening, can whoever started this off tell us who told them?!
Ed, do you know?
Shockingly off the mark!
I hope there are major protests at Anfield on Sunday.
This club is being run by elephants, untrained elephants at that!
Why oh why loan out Carroll with no replacements?
persons! {Ed052's Note - it wasn't off the mark. We held talks,a deal stuttered}

Who said so?
By the way, watching LFC tv is like watching an alcoholic..they talk rubbish but avoid the main facts cause they're in denial.
Clearly they're not allowed to speak the truth.
Notice how no fans have been on the phones since it was revealed nobody was coming in - probably because they're very aware of a backlash but that couldn't be shown, ooooohhhh noooooo!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:40:29
The problem FSG and BR are up against is the blatant mis-management of the club for over 20 years, not their fault at all but they have the responsibility to put things right. We have to trust them, let's not get carried away with all the negative talk, short term pain for long term gain. Rodgers will do his best with the players we have, we are in transition and repairing the financial damage caused by past owners and executives. Support the team

YNWA should mean just that

Still proud of my team, Yorkshire Red

Thats right blind faith, get rid of all your players and sign no-one. what a sterling job.

Are you for real, support people who sell our players and buy no one wake up will you.
Eam

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:40:07
Absolute embarrassing.
The owners are a total disgrace.
if we had just kept big Andy,Dirk and Maxi i would have been a happy Red.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:40:06
We aren't signing anyone.....Simples!

Good Luck to the lads and BR for the first half of the season!
(hopefully we show some promise and get some players in January!)

31 Aug 2012 21:39:55
Eds, do you believe there's any truth to the Damiao rumours? I see Dempsey has been confirmed at Spurs for medical by BBC and with Melwood shut and Ayre gone can we actually sign anyone? Is it even possible to have signed a player earlier and if so any idea why the announcement would be delayed? Many thanks for all the hard work, much appreciated, Bryan {Ed052's Note - no more signings}

Many thanks. Shame as we all wanted a striker minimum but these things happen and I'm sure there must have been good reasons why. We may not be challenging like we hoped but at least it gives our youngsters a chance

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:39:36
liverpool r mad not 2 pay £5m for dempsey in my opinion ....... thechef ynwa jft96

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:39:27
Where to start! As a club we go forward two steps and then back three. We start to get rid of the average deadwood players costing us a small fortune and then get the likes of sahin in on loan....good moves Liverpool, then the ugly, we don't replace the deadwood with any players who will get us as a group to challenge for champions league places. Instead we leaves ourselves as a club with a sub standard squad who will struggle this year to develop and progress....poor show Liverpool....shame on you!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:39:25
Dempsey in talks with Spurs with a view to a medical according to the Beeb. Cue the jeers from clubs tomorrow. Stay strong lads and take the fight to Arsenal tomorrow and show them what we're capable of.

Dont blame Brendan. Blame FSG.

Sleepless excited night in Oz, waking up every few hours to check the latest news, what do I read, nothing, nada, zip. Poor Dempsey hung out to dry. If I new LFC were this poor, loaning out or selling players to cut the wage bill but pretending to Look for bargain replacements, could have had a worldwide fan whip round, a fiver each, with the size of the LFC fan base who knows what we could raise.

The owners are a disgrace. Promise so much, deliver nothing. Looks like another below par season. LFC needed another forward. Why get rid of Carroll with no one lined up.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:38:06
absolute joke!! we now have a tiny squad with no forward line! Is there any ideas around concerning FSG? are they trying to wreck our club? struggling times ahead this season me thinks especially if Suarez gets injured!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:38:03
Its official no signings for liverpool..clint dempsey at spurs training ground..from a fuming red fsg have left rodgers high n dry..redste.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:38:00
I said this when Kenny was sacked and everyone else who got the boot, how the hell did that plank Ian ayre keep his job. Can't believe all this. 8 th if we are lucky.
Gaz b {Ed001's Note - I was saying the same thing! It is unbelievable that Ayre had a job to make a mess of.}

Ed001, i hear what you saying, but do you not think Fsg are every bit as responsible as Ayre?

The Irish Rover {Ed001's Note - they have to take a share of the blame for not removing Ayre in the summer anyway.}

He's got a good set of knee pad that's how.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:37:53
How we managed to let Dempsey slip through our fingers I will never know

But the show must go on
One player does not make a team especially a player that never played for the club anyway.

Just trying to add a bit of positivity to the doom and gloom

Thanks for the hard work to all of the Ed's

N.I Red

Well said mate, we were a good team this morning and we're a good team tonight. I agree that a goal scorer would have helped but the amount of OTT negativity on here is as pathetic as it is unsurprising. If, and I mean IF, those posters are indeed real liverpool fans, that scares me more than H&G ever did.

31 Aug 2012 21:39:05
This is PR disaster for Liverpool not signing a striker. Not to mention a disaster for us on the field. The owners are going to come under a lot of criticism. Are they able to take the club forward? Questions will be asked. They've only used the clubs money so far. Are they an improvement on the cowboys. Yes but not hugely. Time will tell.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:37:15
Love all these shouts that such and such is bailed on for 11pm. Everyone has gone home from Mellwood so there's no-one to sort the deals out.

Face facts the board have messed up big time.

So very gutted.

31 Aug 2012 21:37:07
Looks like Dempsey to Spurs then. Why are Liverpool incapable of finalising deals?? Same old story.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:37:00
Dempsey signing for tottenham, well done liverpool you muppets, we let a goal scorer go to another team again =)

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:36:26
lets face it guys, nothing is happening today. We must remember that we bought Allen, Borini, Assaidi, Yesil and Sahin on loan. just because we didnt buy a £30 Million striker today doesnt mean we are going to do bad, it basically shows that Rodgers is putting more faith in Suarez to score, hopefully encouraging him to finish more!

No but we have let so many players go our options are so limited now it's just not good enough

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:36:15
Can I just say thanks to all the eds for the whole of this transfer window especially today and the impending disappointment caused by our stubbornness and lack of funding
Is there a recall clause for andy Carroll, I feel it may be needed

If I was Andy and there was a recall clause I would tell us to pee off

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:35:57
Dear Reds,

Dont know about you, but Ive been prepared to give FSG the benefit of the doubt up to this point, but it now looks as though we've lost Dempsey to Spurs and loaned our 35m forward to West Ham. Thats what they did with our Torres money.

They should be ashamed at the level of backing they have given its new manager. Absolutely shocki ng stuff. And as for our Mr Fixit, Ian Ayre, well, enough said. What the hell is he paid for?

Gutted and completely embarrassed by what is going on, unless turning all the lights out at Melwood is the most ellaborate hoax ever and we have a big-name striker about to jump out and say 'SURPRISE!!'

FSG. SHOCKING. Hang your heads.

Red G

In this time of doom and gloom that comment: "unless turning all the lights out at Melwood is the most ellaborate hoax ever and we have a big-name striker about to jump out and say 'SURPRISE!". Generally made me laugh.

Ian Ayre will go home happy mate, he has done what he was paid to do.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:35:53
Really disappointed with the clubs actions tonight. Club have been made to look like fools and have treated Fulham with no respect.

We have also treated Andy Carroll with same lack of respect.

The owners and Ian Ayre have not shown the level of respect that they expect the players and fans to use

No respect? Espn saying fulham were charging us more than spurs or villa so even though I'm disappointed I'm not shocked that they refused to be taken advantage of if that's true

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:35:36
Looks like Dempsey has gone to Spurs!
What a disaster of a night, our once great club is officially a shambles!

Clints at spurs , game over I'm off to bed

I know how you feel,i`ve been up since 3.30 this morning and the excitement of who we are going to bring has kept me awake, now i`m totally deflated and suddenly gone tired

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:35:20
Dempsey Gone to Tottenham :( Worst birthday ever!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:35:19
FSG, do you not understand that it will take strength in depth and goals to stay in this league, let alone get top 4???

What are you trying to do with our club?

Surely Carroll should have been kept?

I am absolutely amazed at what is going on here. I just hope that there are surprises on the horizon prior to 11pm........

In my opinion, if this is the way the club is going to be run moving forward, then we are finished as a top club for the foreseable future. The club may break even financially, but the days of serious contenders as seen in the past will be long gone.

Furious and disapointed that my fears from the last several months may be proven correct.

ConnorsLFC

I would add that this year I spent over £500 taking my boy to Anfield (hospitality tickets were the only one's i could get) and over £100 on the new kit for my 11 year old, well that's it now. No more. I will not feed greedy yanks when there are clear errors in their approach.

What is going on here, Dempsey is now at Spurs!! Have we just gave up are what, we NEED a goal scorer.

You must think you're on the Man U page

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:34:41
Shocking night. No striker who will score our goals.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:34:20
Dempsey at Spuds...another through the net, we're gonna struggle with getting rid of Carroll without securing a replacement first. Bad business from the club..will they ever learn?

eds

owners need to go
dont you think {Ed052's Note - no}

Sry ed mate but time has come owners should go mate its not because we haven't sign anybody that's why but bigger picture is that they don't have what it takes to make this club succesfull they are not wealthy to be liverpool owners they can't leave to liverpool expectation. And most important they are burrying our club mate ho can you except loseing 3/4 strikers and bring young striker to lead our line

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:33:35
Last season we were short on goal scorers we have sold bellers kuyt maxi and Carroll we have replaced these four with borini! Omfg what the f are the owners playing at. I am so patient and I've been pleasantly optimistic but get the yanks out now - disgraceful they can do one now.

Redman1991

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:32:47
I am a little puzzled as to how the evening has panned out. Why would Liverpool offer less than Villa ? Do you think that Fulham perhaps asked for more when Liverpool offered the same as Villa ?

Even so, why leave it until so late in the window to try and sign Dempsey, why not do it when interest in the player was first known. Andy Carroll was always going to leave so why not do the business a bit earlier ?

If we don't sign anyone tonight, it doesn't look very good in terms of numbers in the squad. It's very thin and if we pick up a few injurys, we could be in big trouble

Question Eds; Is it still possible for loans to be done after 11pm tonight ?

Is till have a feeling we will bring one or two in before the window closes....


ReDDaZ {Ed052's Note - no}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:32:42
cant believe this is happening. So much hope for this season and already with most of our competition strengthening it is likely we will be no better off than last year. FSG may think that they were being clever but all they have done is destroy any chance of improvement in the league and tarnished the
reputation of our club. Fans will be gutted and a difficult time ahead.

Was really pleased with the way things were going up until today! Now we have let 3 go and no one in! It now seems Dempsey is going to Spurs! Joke. S Watto

3, change that number to at least 6 1st team squad members

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:31:46
Hi eds, do you think that a deal has been done already,and that's why they have all left melwood? Hope so, or we are in trouble.
Jonny71 {Ed052's Note - we're just in shit]

When Ed052 swears, you know we're in trouble :/

First thing the Eds have said I agree with - in the rubbish.

Owners are rubbish in transfer windows. Ayre is an person, he must go.

Agree with Ed052!
Maybe time again for protests!
This is not good enough for our once great club! It's unbelieveable that we can't even sign Dempsey who have joined Spuds for just £6m. Unbloodybelievable!

I have said all along they did not Fly KK out to the states just to sack him. He was told he would have to cut back and the argument ended up with him getting the sack.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:30:52
Dempsey is at Spurs training ground. Well done rodgers, well done fsg. Laughing stock. im done with this club

Thats the spirit lad!

We are all gutted, but if you are off then cheerio you fair weather dip stick

Ta ta then, dont let the door hit you on the way out

Good riddance.Thats one less fickle person.

Good riddance fool

Well fu*k off and don't visit this site again. People like you don't support this club. Go and support City or United
FSG and Rodgers aren't the joke, fans like you are....

See ya!!



Lyndon

Hang on you can't blame Rodgers for this he said he wanted him but FSG tapped him up and Fulham told us to f### off and I dont blame them
A very pi##ed off Campbell

OI! Less of that haha. Yeah it's been a nightmare of a day. Absolutely gutted and embarrassed and ashamed of our negotiating but let's not say you're done with the club. Be a true fan. I'm not looking forward to the season with a weak strike force but it could be worse... We could still have Comolli. We could be spending silly money on mediocre players. Let's just see how the season goes and back the club... Here's to hoping that our youngsters can step up.. Unfair on them but it could be a blessing in disguise giving our talented youngsters the chance they wouldn't get if Dempsey and the likes signed.
Here's to being optimistic about our season ha.
Amazing work today by the way ed's! You should be proud, even if you are feeling down about proceedings.
Thanks a bunch!
Matt H {Ed001's Note - thanks mate, it doesn't feel that way though, may as well not have spent all day chasing round for info. It was all just a waste of time!}

Dont blame Rodgers, blame FSG and Ian Ayre. Rodgers has been made a fool of here.

I agree 100% same old rubbish! Americans who dont have a clue ...feed us full of rubbish!

31 Aug 2012 21:30:21
hi eds can we still sign players on loan after 11pm?

so for example if we do sell henderson to villa would we be able to bring in damiao or sturridge on loan?

thanks :) {Ed052's Note - no}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:30:19
I Blame Spearing and Cole

They don't hold the cheque book mate, £35 million on Carroll has hurt us more than Spearing has.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:29:47
Looks like we are going to have to get a free agent as that window is still open.

I here Owen is available -_-

FML

Ben

That would never be the Liverpool way of old, to take back a player who did the dirty on a transfer to Real, went to Utd. and bigged up Utd. to simply annoy Liverpool fans BUT I think Liverpool could do with him as a back up right now! Not sure what the plan is...

We are a joke are we that poor that we can't afford to pay carrolls wags or something to keep him

We had a replacement, it's just Ayre and FCG completely F'ed up and we lost him.

Sturridge on for chelsea. At 6.30pm he wasnt on the team sheet? A lot of talk........ Thats all today has amounted to. I will wait to see how the club justify's this. We have lost AC, for nothing! Lets hope Luis doesnt get injured. We are worse off now in terms of goal scoring capability. This was the major issue to address. You watch AC come good at the hammers with regular game time. Im deflated here............. YNWA

dempsey at tottenham, can`t believe it, i`m really pissed off now, that is a joke

Right there with you you mate! It's really hard seeing spurs get better and better every year. We just cant compete, it's a joke!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:28:38
Eds do you believe that the owners are paying a risky game? Surely the supporters won't be happy, BR won't be happy tha he has a threadbare squad either. Do you think this could be the beginning of the end for FSG? {Ed052's Note - they are - huge backlash will come}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:28:29
Still a chance we will sign someone I guess but we may be looking at the loan market - this is still open for a while id it not?

No it isn't. There is only free agents after 11pm... Owen anyone?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:28:22
Something doesn't add up here...

I reckon there's more to come.

are going to sign any one ? what is the scene with Damiao ? RED INDIAN {Ed052's Note - no}

Fsg just do not have a clue about how football works. this isn't a reaction i've thought it all along. no idea. mid table here we come. wish rodgers the best, but even with him, they went for the cheap option. good, but not top quality, and i know we can't get people like guardiola and falcao. hope they are gone by the end of the season, and hope ac has a great season and comes back to bite their ass. gonna have to pray for top 4 now. sad

Im gutted i started the day full of optimism now i feel dejected going to bed ill give the dog a kick on the way past him lol 2 strikers iv never said a bad word about the owners but dempsey just agreed personal terms with spurs wat is going on im off before i get too annoyed night lads same time next year hope its better news then tho

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:28:02
What are we going to do when Suarez gets banned?

Not paying £5,000,000 plus add ons for a player who scored more than twice as many goals as carrol (£35,000,000) Downing (£20,000,000) and Henderson (£20,000,000) put together whilst playing most of the time in midfield is a bit worrying. Just don't understand the thinking behind this. I know the owners have been ripped off in the past but this is stupid.

I can't believe yet again we have allowed three forwards to leave Bellamy kuyt and Carroll. Then we bring a young forward who from his first few games for us quite clearly needs time.

Every fan can see this so please please explain why the board and the manager can't see it or is it they refuse to do anything about it.

The board and the management team have really not done themselves any favours tonight.

Finally with all the negative energy that is now surrounding the club, sundays game against arsenal is now even more difficult.

Brendan your stay will be short if you continue on this path.

A very peeeeeeeeed of red :0(

I agree mate but it's 4front men MAXI

Ya because its his fault the owners wont fork out just over 1/7 of andy carrolls fee for a quality striker!!!

Ian ayre and the owners negotiate transfers not rodgers. He even said only a couple of hours ago he hoped/expected players would be coming in. so the blame should not be directed at him

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:27:02
Can I be the voice of reason here, we've signed Allen, Sahin, Assaidi, & Borini. HARDLY NO ONE. Yes we are going to be short on a striker, I'm sure we can always recall Carroll, it is a loan after all.
HOWEVER I really really believe the yanks have no idea of the passion for this club and the idea that if you want 4th place or more you have to "Speculate to accumulate". FSG have let us down today. Dempsey would have provided us with much needed goals as would Sturridge or any of our striking targets.
We will struggle for 4th even 6th. Sorry but its true.
A very disappointed red.

'short on a striker'...oh is that all for a team who so woefully lack goals!!??

This is a fair post and when the fans have calmed down, most will agree...

We cant recall the big man, they paid a fee to keep him for the season, with all the competisions we are in we needed a striker infact we needed two, god help us if we get injuries, BR has showed his inexperience and the yanks have showed their true colurs....yeah im pissed..YNWA

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:27:01
could the staff of left melwood to complete a seal on foreign soil? i really hope so keep up tge great work eds {Ed052's Note - no}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:27:00
Apparently we offered Fulham The Charlie Adams transfer 4 million and Fulham rightly turned it down. Villa offered 5 million with 2 million in add ins and the bid was accepted.

So FSG are willing to put BR first season with us in total jeopardy by only allowing him to work with Suarez and Borini as recognised strikers, for the sake of 3 million...

FSG need to have a long look in the mirror.. Words fail me

Curled1

I think its a case of FSG just pressing the RESET button...

They have done something similar with their baseball team...

Probably this is a way of telling Rodgers to forget about Europa League and playing the first eleven in the league matches...

Tottenham gave Scott Parker a hefty contract and now he is probably no use to AVB...

I think they will back him but only with big purchases and there are likes of Walcott, Llorente, Solgado(may be) and other players who we may get in Jan or next summer......

Lets see what our players are made of?...No use blaming owners...They blew away roughly 70 mil pounds..we need our club to survive any financial meltdown...trophies and top four finishes can wait one season but its important that the club we love should never be close to a situation which Rangers and Portsmouth find themselves in.....

Lets go ahead and support our players, manager and the owner..

31 Aug 2012 21:26:45
Was really looking forward to transfer deadline day. Very disappointing to hear that no one is coming in!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:21:27
LFC to sign no-one tonight as Rodgers believes in the up and coming talents we have

I think it's because he has been let down by our skint owners

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:26:26
Just when I think we turned the corner the amateurs who run our club conspire to screw up again. Letting all our strikers go and not replacing them will cost us for sure. We've let Dempsey down too, who kept up his half of the ' we'll buy you, don't worry!' bargain. Other players won't trust us in future instances. Amateur, amateur, amateur!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:19:08
Are we seriously going to end up with one of the best midfields in the league with no one to pass to? Not a big Andy Carroll fan, but surely we were better off with him than no one? At this point I'd be happy with Shane Long!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:18:53
Brendan should put in a claim for constructive dismissal he has been seriously undermined over the last 24 hours by stupid decisions, I am seriously depressed about how bad we are at handling transfers.

31 Aug 2012 21:18:39
good night and god bless i think the ed's now need to realise that liverpool are a minor club no money nothing, it is embrassing, the teams that want to finish 4th will finish fourth we were a mile away from that last season so to bridge that gap we need to SPEND. Everton are now the number 1 club in merseyside. OUT Kuyt,Maxi,Spearing,bellamy,Carroll,aqualani and Adam.

In Allen,Borini,assadi and sahin on loan. NOT GOOD ENOUGH

MOLBY Diet

Are you seriously deluded out 3 old players one who wanted to be by his family 2 in spearing and Adam who no where near good enough aquilani enough said didn't want to play for us so why keep him Andy Carroll fair enough not the best decision we've made but with Allen sahin much much better players than JS & CA yer we haven't got the striker but that comment was ridiculous you utter fool

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:18:25
o my god this cant be true why let carroll go has to be so stupid ?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:18:24
this is funny eds are FSG trying to say we cant compete financially with sunderland and aston villa..when did liverpool become a team that cant afford 7mil...

31 Aug 2012 21:17:48
I only have one question - if Fulham accepted an 7million bid from Aston Villa for Dempsey - how much did we offer?
Please don't tell me we took the p**s and offered less, if we did, BR deserves a kicking.

John B {Ed022's Note - Villa bid 5mil, we bid 7 and they rejected it. Hence why FSG are irritated.}

And there is no backup plan, Ed? I get the owners irritation, but surely they realize we have to have at least one more forward/striker?

Are you sure eds?

Im sure it was 4m that we bid

LondonLiverbird {Ed001's Note - Fulham set the price at 7m, we kept arguing over the amount, trying to offer 4m plus players, players that wouldn't join Fulham. Fulham got fed up and took Spurs' offer instead.}

The negativity and knee jerk reactions by so called fans of Liverpool football club is far more disgraceful than any lack of transfers. Hang your heads in shame. Support the team and the players we do have, let's not force Rodgers out like we did with Hodgson then we really will start to become a joke and a shadow of our former selves

Stockholm red {Ed063's Note - Good post}

We do support the team the manager etc...I think most of the anger is directed at the people who are supposed to be dealing with transfers. we continue to lose money like this in the transfer market you wont have a club to support.
Dave

This is not about forcing rodgers out, this is simply out of his hands, the problem lies with another pair of yanks that we need rid of! RedTurk

Yes support Rodgers But I am sick of spending Money where owners take it for granted we will always just turn Up!

31 Aug 2012 21:25:32
What is going on Pacheco going back to Spain and Ecclestone going to Blackpool, we are having a wholesale Striker clearout. This aint funny anymore, does BR expect us to play like Spain without a striker - too much too soon IMO.

where is the logic getting rid of carrol if we dont sign a replacement! ARGH

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:11:08
Just heard were going to sign baron years

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:11:06
What the F**k EDS we have missed out on Dempsey. Yet again we have no striker to come in this is unacceptable. Can we get Carrol back or what? This is just astonoshing not good enough.

Elmo96

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:11:03
So if we end up with no Dempsey over a few million, as much as I love the club, I wouldn't be overly bothered if Fulham came to town and Dempsey scored a hat trick on us. The situation really makes no sense at all.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:11:01
Not paying a fair fee for Dempsey and letting carroll go without a replacement. Potless and clueless. Rodgers is not a magician he can't get goals out of thin air. Allen class but not many goals there, and borini not an improvement on Carroll IMHO. Bellamy Rodriguez Carroll Adam kuyt all scored goals for us last season and are gone. Hope I am wrong, but think fsg threw money in last year and trying to not overpay this year. Agree with that but come on Dempsey fee is not unreasonable considering goals he has scored and proven in EPL

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:10:39
lfc are a laughing stock a joke of the premier league, we free up space in the squad, reduce wages, br blabbers on about who can and cant play his style and who he is going to buy and we end up with a thin team with no stikers, hope we are in the top 10 after christmas.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:10:38
To all those persons who posted that we'd be thrilled today - that the news was gonna be huge - thanks a lot! You look like complete fools now.

This is the turning point for FSG - they will now plummet in the fans' estimate. They have not invested a lot of their own money and they can't even stump up for Dempsey after getting rid of Carroll, Maxi, Kuyt, Adam, Spearing and Suso. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!!

(Please post in football rumours!)

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:10:33
Wtf is Rodgers at? He says our squads to small yet lets players go and bring fun all in :-(

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:10:33
I'm with the Eds...

surely we aren't stupid enough to transfer or loan out almost all our strikers without having replacements ready to arrive?

and have a 4 hour transfer watch?

we'd be providing rival clubs with so many laughs on our behalf...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:10:13
Dont tel me the owners have got rid of these players to lower wage bill how low do they want it. Not junping to conclusions but fsg do need to answer here, how after 1 and a hakf year they have so little money baffkes me the way they have handled a new manager and not backing him. Rodgers clearly wanted players. Nothing short of disgusting to be honest

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:22:59
hey eds quick qs do you keep changing the words "a website website" to "a website"

thanks :) {Ed052's Note - its automatic}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:22:21
Hey Eds,

Is it possible to be in another country signing players and have them announced tomorrow? ie liorente, falcao etc. here's hoping.

Scobie. {Ed052's Note - no}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:16:29
Not a rumour - but a possible situation at Anfield...

Suarez gets injured and we are screwed until January.

No-one to sign.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:16:22
Chelsea proves tonight that its not who you buy it's about being a team.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:16:11
If no players come in I sincerely hope the owners will be explaining why to the fans! Very disappointed!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:16:08
in god we trust

robbie lad......get yaboots on cuz we aint signing anyone!!!!!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:16:05
This is shocking ! Just pay the Dempsey fee ! 5 mil plus 2 in add ons is market value ffs !

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:16:04
Cheer up everyone it's now 4 nil.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:16:03
Ian Ayre to be transferred out of Liverpool for being a useless CEO. Lets players go without bringing anyone in, useless!! If we need cash so badly then time to pack ur bags!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:15:56
Lfc clearing and balancing books, to meet demands required by new owners, don't know who, but that's what I've been told.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:15:54
Bad decision getting rid of Carroll,no replacement,absolute disgrace

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:15:46
So this means when Borini and Suarez are both on the pitch there is NO recognized striker on the bench. One of the worse pieces of management I think ive ever seen. FSG you are not worthy to be our owners, you clearly are happy with us being a mid table team so that's what you'll get. Promises of competing with the best - broken. New stadium plans - erm, where? Backing of BR in the market - very little. Claiming that reducing the wage bill would free up money for players - also hasn't happened.
Better hope Suarez gets a new pair of shooting boots or something because I cant see goals coming from any where else (Borini hasn't convinced me). Well played FSG. All that excitement and optimism of signing Damiao and the like, and know nothing. Disappointed to say the least.

E.H LFC

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:15:44
this is absolutely shocking..if we dont signplayers we only have two senior strikers in suarez and borini and three wingers in downing and assaidi and sterling..this is a big risk with our new signing s inexperienced..we dont have enough goals in the team..we lost bellamy,maxi,kuyt and carroll..if Br didnt have a player lined up before letting carroll go im dissappointed and have lost 90% of the confidence i had in him.We will sruggle to finish anywhere near the top 6 unlesss suarez or/and borini suddenly become goal machines..

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:15:17
Terrible terrible terrible!! Why did he let AC go! Stupid pride by BR and it never looked like he had a replacement! Fans will turn soon and it looks people are doubting him already! Stupid stupid stupid for our club! Two strikers in the whole team is not a squad!! Hey Rogers... Better a 35m striker on the bench than nobody you person!

At this rate rodgers will be gone think hes out of his depth

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:15:06
My aunties husband works as a cabbie in liverpool and hes just rang me to tell me that he has had a booking from liverpool f.c for a pick up from lime street station to melwood on a train from london, Sturridge move back on maybe? MOre to follow
cheers Lè Mullét

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:14:54
This debacle tonight could start a mass exodus of all the top players from Liverpool. It looks like we have American owners who are bull shiiters again.

Very Worrying

Evered

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:14:53
Looking increasingly ominous .

A balls up of massive proportions by FSG

Only two strikers for the rest of the season ,three if you count Morgan .

Need something pulled out of the proverbial hat and within an hour and a half !

4! We've got the 18 year old 1M German kid too!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:14:37
We have bid 4mill for Dempsey. FSG say not a penny more. Fulham playing hardball. Do they want a very unhappy player until next transfer window? I think he may go to Spurs if they cant get Moutinho deal agreed. Got to get a striker in unless we use Morgan/Yesil. Try to get by until January. Letting Carroll go with no one to come in is bad business. Also doing deals late on is always desperate.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:10:03
Happy Birthday Pepe Reina!!

I thought we all needed something else to concentrate on rather than transfers.

Hans

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:09:01
talk rubbishs man in Liverpool reckons Liverpool wont be signing anyone else before the window closes... I'll be keeping the faith myself, they're not called talk rubbish for nothing!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:14:16
liverpool wont sign anyone dempsey will not join

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:14:13
Mid table mediocrity here we come.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:14:07
sturridge is not on the bench for chelsea

Err, yes he is. He came on in the 80th minute or so.

Your right mate hes on the pitch

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:13:47
just wondering if ed52 is still as optimistic about signing players as he said it was a defo all day

eire red {Ed052's Note - no!!!}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:13:41
so we let about 40m worth of player leave on loan and dont get any1 in great deal lol the owners shud hold there heads in shame

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:13:22
br has been hung out to dry i hope the fans stick by him as the owners are the ones to blame here, he was told to clear the wage bill and then there dnt back him...shocking

He hasn't been hung out to dry. He alienated AC, publically said he wasn't in his plans. And despite the glaring need up front spunked all his money on midfielders and Borini - a striker who can't score. Sure FSG and Ayre have screwed the pooch but Rodgers needs to take his fair share of the blame. Of course Fulham wouldn't do the deal because Demps was tapped up and the stupid posting on the website. Be lucky to make top 10.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:13:21
EDS - Do you think Michael Owen could make a shock return to Liverpool?

I know he wouldn't really be well received by liverpool fans but let's be honest, we have screwed up in this transfer window. So Rodgers might try and get him in so we have more striking options. {Ed022's Note - I don't think so.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:13:20
how the f-ck can you let a 35 million pound England international go out on loan and be left with just 2 first team strikers, neither of which are prolific, the club is turning into an absolute f-cking joke at the moment, if saurez goes down injured then what, i thought fsg wanted to return us to the glory years, what an absolute p-ss take, i knew this was going to happen.
crazy
Please FSG, make me eat my own words please.
weve had from the 1st 0f july to sort things out.
Jaydee ynwa

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:13:19
FSG are utterly incompetent! We are gonna struggle big time. We have not cured our fundamental weakness LACK OF A GOAL SCORER.

FSG WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOUR OWNERSHIP?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:13:16
We have bid £4mill for Dempsey. FSG say not a penny more. Fulham playing hardball. Do they want a very unhappy player until next transfer window? I think he may go to Spurs if they cant get Moutinho deal agreed. Got to get a striker in unless we use Morgan/Yesil. Try to get by until January. Letting Carroll go with no one to come in is bad business. Also doing deals late on is always desperate.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:13:08
Bad bad day for LFC letting big Andy go on loan and having no one to bring in absolutely shocking by the owners and management!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:12:23
Typical whining fans, not being held to ransom for players is smart. And a predictable response FSG out etc. Go and support another club you are pathetic. We have some good players but we haven't got everyone we wanted this is life, accept it.

Are you John Henry?

Yeah i agree not being held to ransom is smart but not having a back up plan is pretty dumb, expecting top 4 without major investment is also dumb

Whining fan? Do me a favour. When you have from the first of July to get your team sorted out for the season, and then are told by the management that 2 to 3 players are coming in, numerous players are offloaded or sold to make way for the expected new signings and then find out that the club are arguing the toss for an over rated 29 year old premiership also ran, well it kinda gets your goat. I mean , the whole season hanging on the signing of a nobody, and we can't sign him. The once, and I mean once great and mighty club are not even the new Tottenham anymore. Right up there with Villa, Sunderland and Newcastle. Get used to a sore neck by looking up. I'm disgusted with the powers that be, they should come out and explain the financial situation in all honesty. accept it

Well I suppose we should try to get top 4 by bankrupting the club then, jeez. Not living within our means is why we are in this mess, and the whole western world for that matter.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:12:19
utterl disappointed with lfc and fsg
what the point in letting a c go then bring in no one
next suarez will get injured then were screwed
looking like 10th this year
anyone else think its time fsg go there not keeping there promises

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:12:18
Im not being negative in this comment by any means, all the negative comments are annoyin, understandable on a day like today, but still unnecessarry. Anyway, it eerily seems like the final day of January transfer market, everyone screaming for a player to be signed but with nothing lookin like its being done. Fingers crossed something happens, im holdin out for Damiao, but my hopes are not high, unfortunatly. Jus sit and chill and enjoy the last 2 hours or the transfer markt, there's plenty of time.

Carb

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:11:36
I'll be annoyed if we don't sign someone after losing Adam and Carroll - who's going to score the goals? Rodgers said earlier, we NEED at least one more player

Red Ollie

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:11:25
Are we really givin up on a player tht is guaranteed atleast 15 goals a season for a lil more thn we wnt it to b! It wil b stupid if they dnt get him! The owners wntd Rodgers in charge they shud bac him it ain't like fulham r askin more 15mil now! Gettin f**kd off wit this! At this rate if we get any injuries to Suarez or borini we wil b screwed

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:08:02
Surely the club just haven't given up have they ED? {Ed052's Note - ye}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:07:57
Cannot believe we lost Carroll without any replacement..

31 Aug 2012 21:07:53
Guys, guys......its time to believe!

I know everywhere and everyone is saying that we are unlikely to make anymore signings....but just wait! There is still time!

You can call it blind faith or whatever but I think a suprise is coming. I trust the eds, I trust FSG and I trust Brendan!

Please, please guys just be patient! Somethings gonna happen! I just feel it!

This is a true test of belief and patience!

K.Bennett

You sir, are an person.

all this keep the faith nonsense is pointless when it's obvious to anyone with half a brain can tell we will struggle this year.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:07:33
4-nil almost feeling sorry for Chelsea..........almost.

No new signings today, almost feeling sorry for Liverpool.........almost

X

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:08:34
It's all very well getting rid of players coz they don't fit our style. Something else that doesn't fit the style is a lack of players. I hope some deals will be done because the squad is thin

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:05:15
Eds why did we leave some deals to the last day (Dempsey excluded),I know Damiao was offered to us but surely we were looking at other players but with 2 hours to go we're nothing the further on?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:04:54

i CANNOT BELIEVE WE'VE GIVEN UP ON DEMPSEY. £5 MILL AND £2 MILL IN ADD ONS IS NOTHING.
We got £4 mill for Adam and £1 mill for AC loan so there's the money with the exception of the add on. We NEED a striker now AC has gone, so for goodness sake BR and FSG get the deal done while there's a few hours left.

Y.N.W.A.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:04:44
I don't mind the fact we haven't got any big names, that's fine but what really p()sess me off is that we let Carroll go on loan thinking we had a replacement already lined up and thought deadline day was going to be a walk in the park...sigh...thoughts eds?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:04:41
For the first time i'm genuinely disappointed with FSG. Some of Werners statements sound very hollow now. We have the 8th greatest income in the world, and were scrimping over 2/3 million, just embarrassing. Gonna be a tough season, pray for zero injuries.

LFC arguing over 2mil - what will it cost us when we miss out on CL again this year ?
Absolute joke !

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:04:34
I WANT THE OWNERS GONE!!

they lied.............they told the fans they can compete with anyone in the transfer market!

now we have suarez........and thats basically it.
borini morgan...waiting on the wings
how are we supposed to have a decent season!

all they are doing is hurting themselves by not doing their best for the manager by giving him the funds to get decent players.
its the same as the other damn americans............a bunch of cowboys who aint got a clue.

DROUGHT AT LIVERPOOL! will be on the headlines this season and everyone can see it!

how dumb can the board be...by getting rid of caroll before replacing him?

tell me eds...........u may think im jumping the gun here...but the fact remains....they didnt spend a damn thing for caroll and suarez...babel and mascherano and torres paid for quite a bit

the owners are rubbish

and i am not expecting anything except a top 10 finish!

fact..........we dont even score goals at the moment this season.


red fiery mist!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:04:29
I have never posted before but have been reading for years and completely hooked.
If, big If, this is correct and no one is signing then heads should roll.
Why on earth did we let Carroll go with no backup plan?
Was Dempsey the only plan?!
Either BR screwed up or the owners.
Someone owes an explanation!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:06:03
Feel sorry for Dempsey we have put him in a really bad situation.eds do expect any1 to come in?

Ste {Ed063's Note - Absolutely no idea}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:05:41
why wont they just offer 6-7 million, not the reported 4, this is making us look silly again, we never win these stand off tactics, sigurdson done us, now dempsey the same unless we stop messing about

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:06:57
No signings ?....i can't see this impressing the fans, certainly not this one !

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:06:55
Hi ed's, is everything off? {Ed052's Note - ye}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:06:20
The lack of transfer activity perhaps justifies the original plan of having a number of people to help with planning.... perhaps it shouldn't have been solely left to Rodgers and Ayre to sort out.

I was concerned we didn't have enough goals or firepower before we sold Bellamy and Carroll. I pray Suarez stays fit...

Richards

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:03:39
Rodgers on 22/8: "I would be a nutcase to even consider letting Carroll go out unless there are other solutions."

This sums it up, surely we will sign some goal threat. Makes no sense.

BenO'

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:03:36
Even LFC tv is reporting it "would be extremely unlikely" that anyone will sign stating everyone has gone home! Got to be honest, this is a pretty poor showing from the club, I really would have expected a bit more backing financially for a new manager than £25M on Borini and Allen, especially with us losing so many squad players.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:03:21
Suso confirms on twitter that he is not moving to Genk

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:57:53
Been a Liverpool supporter for 35 years and now I am so disappointed with the club and the way that its being run. With hind sight it looks as the owners had informed Dalglish in the summer in the meeting in America that they would cut wages and get rid of top players and Dalglish rightly so, resigned knowing they were going to destroy the club and he did not want to be part of it!!!!

Evered

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:57:43
Hi all.
It's a farce. no signings. official from the club.
whats happened eds??

JB {Ed001's Note - we had it all in our own hands and failed to complete. It beggars belief.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:57:43
earlier today i posted my feeling about fsg and i am watching lfc tv.no players coming in.
we have no striker at the club,last season we could not find the net and we sold carroll who was playing better at the end.
i will say it again these owners will take there time it will take years to be back.
BR is a person if he believes that without a striker he will make top 4.
no wonder the other managers declined taking the job they knew what was going on.
aqua
kuyt (STRIKER)1 mil
bellamy(STRIKER)
aurelio
adam 4 mil
spearing
caroll(STRIKER)1 mil
out

borini(STRIKER)
sahin
allen
in.
i have seen assaidi play for heereveen several times good player but not ready so no need to count him.
we saved around 15mil on wages so thats allen pricetag.
so net we spend around 15mil,not bad for a team that finished 8th with ambition.
henry werner should make a talkshow and have BR as there special guest.
BR was there choice because they knew that he would take the job and try his luck,
THESE OWNERS ARE A JOKE.
feel free to call me a person or that i am talking rubbish

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:57:33
Do you still think dempsey will come in at this stage?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:57:24
Just another disappointing window as a Liverpool fan. Stretched now for strikers but at least we are trying to do it properly this time. No panic over bidding, it's obvious the funds are not there, BR tried to stretch a shoestring and just fell short, can't be blamed. The team need us more than ever now, stay positive and support the boys.

Warm16

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:57:24
I have to say, if we don't get Dempsey tonight it will be disgusting. We have clearly turned his head and he has put himself on a limb for us. Not great guys!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:57:20
Everyone needs to relax. So what if we don't bring in a striker. Maybe suarez, borrini, assiudi, gerrard, sterling and morgan can do the business up front? I would give Morgan his fair share of chances because thats the only way he'll develop!

Have faith everyone!
Mike in Leeds

Honestly, mate, I'm a pretty optimistic guy but I can't see the players you've listed scoring more than 40 goals combined.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:57:11
Ed could Dempsey do anything to try and get the deal with Liverpool done? He wants to come to us! Fulham are just absolute nobs! {Ed001's Note - yes, he could, but would you want a player that does that to his current team? Isn't that why so many hate Torres etc?}

Ah yeah that's a good point ed but do you not think fulham players dislike him now anyway? I can't believe this has happened though!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:02:46
fsg out!!

the hungry *******s, offering 4 million for dempsey when the lad is crying out for a move,if luis gets injured we wont even be top half. brutal, words cant describe this. theyneed lynching

31 Aug 2012 21:02:09
we have turned into a laughing stock no signings today everything relying on suarez and gerrard . i think we found our level last year in league just below spurs and everton .just hope there is a
shock before 11pm but doubt it

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:01:59
Confirmed that we won't sign damiao. The deal was too complicated to be sorted in such little time. A real shame tbh he is a player of the highest quality.

Puzzled Red.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:01:53
Seriously, no Dempsey, these owners are worse than the previous ones if they think we don't need a striker, a measly 5mil up front with 2mil in add ons......pathetic!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:01:49
I WANT THE OWNERS GONE!!

they lied.............they told the fans they can compete with anyone in the transfer market!

now we have suarez........and thats basically it.
borini morgan...waiting on the wings
how are we supposed to have a decent season!

all they are doing is hurting themselves by not doing their best for the manager by giving him the funds to get decent players.
its the same as the other damn americans............a bunch of cowboys who aint got a clue.

DROUGHT AT LIVERPOOL!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:01:47
for all those slating Carroll and Dalglish

Look at our forward line now.

Relegation is seriously on the cards

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:01:25
saying Liverpool kfc not making anymore signings?is this true eds? {Ed022's Note - Kfc?}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:01:23
just an opinion...if we do not sign a striker, we will struggle to finish in the top 8.....pitiful transfer dealings again.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:43:14
Right. This is beyond ridiculous. Really starting to worry now. A little over two hours left and the Beeb is saying no more transfers in. If they have let AC go without a replacement lined up, that is perfectly ludicrous!

Cheers Eds. Its so far, been a disappointing evening.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:01:01
Hm ! Smells like no buy!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:00:45
No more incomings...
Should have signed some sort of attacking option..
Another mediocre season on the way

-JC

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:00:40
Eds do you have any updates ? all quite on the western front, melwood looks like its shut ! {Ed052's Note - it is}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:00:36
Ian Ayre should be sacked, letting squad get weaker by poor tactics in transfer market. Letting people leave before ensuring deals are done for replacements. Rogers should demand answers from owners and tell fans the truth.

Totally agree Ayer should go. I have never known a club like ours that take so long to sort deals out. Look at spurs and man city tonight, tying up six o seven deals. Ayre is an embarrassment in my opinion, bless h pulls a rabbit out of the hat. I would even have Owen at this stage as we have no backup. I went the game last night, and Morgan is not ready.

It was Rodgers who decided who he didn't want - the blame falls squarely on his shoulders.
How many outgoings compared to incomings, I think we have signed 3, 4 with the German kid, how many have left 6 1st team squad members and a few youngsters.

John B {Ed001's Note - except that he chose the outgoings on the strength of the promise of incomings.}

Was gonna post the same thing myself. spot on. we need answers of ian ayre and fsg and not leave it to brendon rodgers to make there excuses. someone has really made are once great club an embarasment. we needed one possibly two players but they get jack rubbish ! clubs are bringing in players in 4 and 5,s and we cant get 1 and one were cryin for a striker. they go on about bringing players in who want to play for the club , well could clint dempsey of wanted to come anymore ? joke and in all my years liverpool havent annoyed me like they have tonight , oh and get ian ayre a stall on greaty thats were he should be working . he annoyed me how he was dressed when signing sahin i think it was. never mind how he is running are transfers. he is not showing liverpool in a good light.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:58:42
Rodgers went home just after 7 o clock. Ian Ayre has just left aswell. No Signings. We are in trouble and we are a laughing stock yet again. Depressing.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:00:21
Liverpool's current buying strategy ---
Ayre: "bull**** bull**** bull**** bull**** bull**** bull**** bull**** bull**** bull**** bull**** bull**** bull**** bull**** bull****!!"

More like " here are our targets, oh... you want 2 million over what we want to pay, we will delay for aslong as possible hoping you'll agree to our terms"

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:00:05
Looks like that's it then, unless it's an amazing game of bluff.
If it is, and no-one does come in, that is very, very poor. This squad is not good enough to achieve what we want to achieve - we are at least 1 striker short, and i can't believe those running the club have allowed this to happen...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:00:01
Do you think lfc will sign a proven goalscorer by 11 pm?

any chance of Llorente or Damaio?or just Dempsey?

Is it possible for LFC to recall Carrol from loan if they fail to sign a goalscorer??

Looks like another disappointing deadline day to mef ,but used to it as a LFC fan

What do you think eds?


YNWA! {Ed022's Note - I'm doing the best I can to get updates.}

Have you got any updates yet Ed {Ed052's Note - yes, we have given up]

ED AM SORRY THERE ARE NO MORE UP DATES.. This is bad BAD WORK BY IAN ARYE. Never do I call our club. But what they have done here is truly shocking and worrying for the club.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 21:00:00
I am absolutely livid,if we don't sign anyone then for me the protests start on sunday
YANKS OUT

alan50

Yeah, that'll help the team

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:59
This is turning into another shambles! LFC is a laughing stock! Was Andy so bad that we decided to replace him with thin air? LFC supporters are amongst the most loyal and calm around, but surely they wont stand for this if we dont get a few in tonight? No Kuyt, Bellamy, Maxi, Adam, Aquliani, Spearing, etc. Do we even have enough players for a full season of football?
Will the starting 11 get paid overtime?
AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:53
guys calm down, 2 hours to go, there is no way we will not sign another player, i would be willing to bet my house on it, two reasons, br said today we are after people, he obviously realize's we need people, he will not just call it a nite with 2 hours to go, second reason, we have just let our main striker go, br said a few days ago he wouldnt let carrol go if he didnt have a back up plan, have faith, grab another beer, and lets wait and see.

john

Agreed with you, John, but it sure as heck is looking like we're getting no one else in.

On the positive side, I suppose maybe the German kid will get more playing time in the first team then we might have expected.

Sorry John ,but wake up and smell the coffee MELWOOD IS SHUT. simple

Ill take that bet john . dempsey is signing for spurs

That exactly how I fell too.Dont know why but I have a good feeling about this...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:47
Perhaps Liverpool are playing their hand to throw the press off the Dempsey saga in an attempt to force Fulhams hand as 11pm approaches.

Drewzer

Doubt it - looks like he's off to Spurs.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:43
one wonders with all the downsizing on their playing staff at the red sox are the owners doin the same ??
5 gold stars

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:39
Well this is embarrassing letting your £35m striker out on loan and are left short in attack... It is moments like this that make it hard not to wish we had a oligarch/sheikh backing us to go out and get players

RedSG

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:36
On sky soorts talking about the owners....
The fact that they couldnt even stump up 5m we jt sold adam. And the fact that the owners havent lost the carrol money they sold carrol for him and suarez. Add meireles money liverpool owners have spent 70m in 3 transfer windows that simply aint good enough im sorry. These owners need a shock. They are gertting to much i mean imajing a new manager and not backing himwith 5m more, stubborn and i dont like it. We are left with sterling borini suarez assiati. Thats it gt fa cup carling cup europa and the league ohhh dear dear dear.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:36
Liverpool FC TV and have said no one is coming in tonight! ALL DEALS ARE OFF! Well done fsg for getting us relegated!

A furious nottsred

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:32
BBC Sport reporting that there will be NO incoming transfers at Liverpool tonight. Looks like Dempsey deal is off!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:31
2 hours left. Losing hope. We need a striker! FSG what is going on??

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:30
Extremely disappointing ! I don't know how in the world are we selling carroll without having a deal with a replacement ? wtf ! now adam morgan will be our top goalscorer right ? f*** Ian Ayre and FSG

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:59:22
Ok great no signing so no goal when we we need a bloody finisher so I'm guessing (is gonna put all hope in raheem sterling to do in away game when its gritty and centre cruch suarez who's going to get goals or create like suarez look on the bench morgan really away from home crowd is booing experience is nothing till you do something with

31 Aug 2012 20:59:07
Now I'm worried why the hell would you let Carroll go without assurances that you've got a replacement? Complete madness looks like we will be seeing the German youngster sooner rather than later! I really hope I eat my words.

31 Aug 2012 20:56:41
Am expecting a loan signing or 2

what the hell is going on?

Because they got the cash and back the manager

31 Aug 2012 20:56:38
Well if we've learnt anything tonight it's that we have no money, have sold alot of our squad and nobody has any inside knowledge of the club.

I would hope the American owners do not expect a top four finish this season.

Donald Twain

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:56:30
Words cannot describe how disappointed I am right. Ridiculous not bringing in a replacement for AC just pathetic

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:55:46
I blame Kenny Dalglish for the mess were in now, What a fool.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:55:40
That time again eds all goin off but after reading the liandro dimou profile really hope we can get this boy.I now it's getting late but any chance.

ed52, someone said a few minutes ago that espn bbc and sky said no more deals tonight for us, you said that was wrong. lfc tv themselves have just said no more deals. they wrong too? {Ed052's Note - No, they are not - deals off.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:46:40
ed52 your optimism is all thats keeping me going at the minute! keep it up please mate, my faith is dwindling!

john {Ed052's Note - I have no optimisim now}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:55:38
Ian Ayre and Rodgers both left Melwood, so it looks like no signings for us today

Stuck with 2 strikers till January

Not even 2 strikers. Really one in Borini, Suarez isn't really a striker.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:55:33
What's stopping Dempsey throwing in a transfer request?
Doesn't want to risk relationship with Fulham? {Ed022's Note - He already has, hense why he hasn't been at pre-season. He's refused to play just to come to Liverpool and the owners refuse to match Fulhams asking price.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:55:30
Come on eds!! Is there really no signings ? {Ed022's Note - Looks that way, however, you never know.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:55:25
Everton had a better window than us. We will be poor this season if players are injured. Imagine losing Borini or Suarez, what options are left? We've become poor in the transfer window, selling before you buy means clubs & agents / players hold you to ransom. They know we need strikers so stick to a price they want & we can't afford.
I see a struggle ahead, poor show.
Ultra red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:55:24
what a joke !! no forward coming in, getting rid of carroll great dealing by the club. just hope the two lads that have come in lately can do something to rectify the goal scoring if not................


doom and gloom.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:55:20
Looking unlikely to sign anyone now. Very disturbing, and now BR will lose some of the fans trust I worry. Surely with the departure of a 35 million dollar striker we would sign someone to strengthen, but we haven't. I think Fulham are teaching Ian Ayre a lesson. That lesson will leave us with only one striker this season.

Most worrying of all: Torres is playing for Chelski. He might not come back!!

31 Aug 2012 20:52:26
I am disgusted as a liverpool fan that club like liverpool cannot buy 2 players which we need it shows that liverpool football club are no longer a BIG CLUB to attract players....

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:52:24
fsg and ian ayre have badly let brendon rodgers down . id sack ian ayre because i think hes useless and i think fsg need to come clean over there funding for the club . people say oh theyv spent x amount but theyv recieved x amount . could anyone tell me there net spend since they come , thanks. jack

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:52:19
Now lfc tv have confirmed we aren't signing anyone shows we aren't the club we once were, what happend to the world class players, new stadium, investment that was promised this lot are just as bad as hicks and co

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:52:12
We were all moaning we don't want walcott or dempsey but in fact we are not gettin anyone

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:52:04
if the dempsey deal is off i feel sorry for him
a quality experienced goalscorer who desperately wants to play for us and we wouldn`t go an extra couple of mill to get him, he`s gone out of his way to try and get this move
could ruin him
shame on us

Fantastic post,I feel genuinely sorry for Dempsey if this is he case.After the almighty cock up claiming we had signed him we now don't bother and let him down massively.I really hope this is all a joke! I was ready to get my Dempsey shirt aswell!

31 Aug 2012 20:52:03
Ian ayre on his way to Asda. hes heard there selling striker bars buy one get one free.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:52:03
BR gone home, Ayre gone home so call these people having medicals....where exactly? The Sly Sports presenter is at Melwood and it looks like the place is shut for the night! GUTTED we haven't signed Dempsey....the Reds will always NEVER walk alone but our owners surely can pull put the same deal as Villa which was £5mil plus add ons...it's bewildering really I just can't understand it.
Dal Atwal

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:51:49
BBC Sport reporting that Liverpool will not be signing any more players this transfer window.
If this is so then I feel so sorry for you Eds as I know you guys have been working tirelessly.
I also feel sad for BR for not getting any money from the owners.
A word of advice for the owners FSG- PLEASE SELL AND LEAVE THE CLUB.
Thinking they could get away with it by appointing someone like BR who could work in tight budgets and hoping he could get us into the CL.
I feel pathetic coming here everyday and just hoping...

31 Aug 2012 20:51:35
rumour has it all the bullsh*tters have been chatting sh*te all day,hang your heads in shame,NO SIGNINGS ,WHAT A JOKE CLUB WE REALLY ARE.long season ahead i fear not happy me.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:51:25
What's the bets you won't see good old Tom and JH at our ground for a good while,they will have to have their hard hats in cos some stick is coming their way,absolutely gutted told ya we've been tangoed,signs weren't good when Rodgers left earlier,Ian Ayres is a bumbling ah well thru the wind the storm get ya umbrellas ready you've done a great job Eds and I was believing you when you were so positive we've all been let down bless ya Liam

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:51:21
Hi ed's
Any views on the below
Sky sources understand Liverpool do not expect to make any signings this evening. Liverpool's bid for Fulham's Clint Dempsey was £4million and the club have refused to offer higher. Aston Villa bid £5m plus £2m add-ons. Stay with us for the full story.


or is this just Bull?

We cannot afford not to bring in a striker

REDFORLIFE

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:51:10
from damiao to nothing, i think im going to be sick, as some singer guy once sang, 'what a difference a day makes!' i think we have a quality team im just very concerned about where our goals are coming from

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:50:55
Hi all

Its now looking like no one is coming in..unless they r already done...

atlfc70

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:50:51
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
We need striker
The owners need to restore confidence in the fans
Pay the money
What about Yossi

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:50:49
Wish the owners would understand, we once had Torres,Alonso,Masch, etc... Carroll is the remains of Torres and now he's gone and we've not got a goal scorer!!
Fans are clearly losing faith.
Like last season, we can't score!
Get your hands in your wealthy pockets pls and make many Loyal fans Happy.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:28
So, we get rid of Adam, Spearing, Kuyt, Carroll, Maxi, Aquilani. We sign Borini, Allen, Assasidi and another player. Surin only a loan.

First of all, we are certainly not stronger in terms of players. Perhaps BR can make us better, but that is to be seen.

I think there was concern when BR was hired that we were working on a shoestring budget. Turns out those fears are true. We couldn't even get Dempsey?? He is under 10 million.

Either Suarez scores 40 goals, or we are once again toying with lowest output in the league.

worried red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:26
This transfer window could be rodgers biggest mistake were only one or two injuries away from being a poor team and we let a 35m striker go on loan?? witout a replacement unbelivable

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:23
Dont mean to come across all negative but if we had a small swuad 2days ago(according to br) then what have we got now? Fearful for this season now 1 or 2 injuries and we are in the brown stuff big time

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:21
Just heard that we've kidnapped Falcao and put him on a private jet to Melwood - is there time to push this deal through cause he's killing chelski on his own!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:12
On lfc tv announced board about to leave with no incoming, what has happened to this great club where the goals coming from, sadly I think an earlier poster which said Owen in if no signings, hope I can be proved wrong ( not br fault, hope fsg can still hold there heads up high) what's the point in a great midfield with no one to put the finishing touches in back of net. Sorry guys for the rant, but was expecting something today really did, hope fsg no what their doing, they could be in for though few months, but hope not hope I get loads of grief from you guys because we signed a red hot striker, apologies again for rant. Not reg poster

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:11
Absolutely disgraceful by LFC. We let our only 3rd striker go on loan and liverpool don't do anything about it. They dont even bid 7M for Dempsey who would be certain to bring goals. Awful season ahead for LFC.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:48:57
Hey Eds. A great site and a BIG thank you for your valuable info. I'm wondering why all the focus on a striker when BR could play the false 9 occasionally? Add to that the signings of Assaidi, Sahin, and Borini who are all offensive-minded players (add Sterling). I'm more concerned about a CDM now that Lucas is injured, any decent CDMs we missed out on? {Ed001's Note - because we don't score enough.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:48:57
melwood closed no signings that leaves us with suarez and borrini and morgan...what happens if suarez gets injured bad times

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:48:52
So Rodgers left Melwood some time away and pictures from SSN show Ian Ayre leaving Melwood....

We won't be signing Sturridge as he is on the bench for chavs.

Owners didn't want Dempsey in first place but Rodgers did, owners were only ever going to give a set amount of money for him which we have offered and have been rejected.

Looks like we won't be signing anyone.

Absolutely gutted.

Smirky.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:48:48
Poor BR, it looks like he will have to work with a paper thin squad. FSG should have paid the money for CD. Still he might have to play more of the youngsters so some good might come of this!
RedRich

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:48:42
Just said on LFC TV that liverpool are very unlikely now to make any signings. So what happens if suarez gets injured, god forbid. My feeling are, you never ever get rid of one striker, unless you are certain another is coming in.Like you dont leave a job, unless you have another job to go to. Your thoughts ed on nobody coming in, we are weaker now than what we were last night, with carroll gone . personic springs to mind

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:48:40
SSN says we only bid £4m for Dempsey and won't go higher, Villa have offered £5m plus £2m add ons. WTF.
KernowRed {Ed001's Note - we offered players as well, but our players refuse to go there.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:52:52
Brendan heading for a serious slice of omelette to be hanging off his chin... "I would be a nutcase to let Andy Carroll leave without a replacement coming in ..." cue the men in white coats!

Seriously, if we do not bring anyone in, I think we could be in for a rocky ride! We all knew our squad wasn't good enough last year, and now it is looking a lot thinner.

Can't help but feel extreme disappointment with the whole set up of our club at the minute and if the stories are true that Ian Ayre etc have given up and gone home, then perhaps that says it all.

How long before the protests start about these owners?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:52:49
if you compare other teams on paper vs the liverpool first team whose is the best?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:52:32
what if we have already bought someone? just a thought

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:50:29
LFC TV saying no business tonight? Any truth in this Eds? {Ed052's Note - yes}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:50:27
Sly sports saying we will not make any signings tonight. Please tell me they are wrong? {Ed052's Note - No, they're not by the looks of it}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:50:22
Hi Ed's, we will get Dempsey and I have a gut feeling that a deal for Walcott is on the cards. I have only one rumor/outside bet, and that is; is Micheal Owen coming back?

great work and thanks for all the info,

RedBaron {Ed052's Note - Doutb it now}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:50:16
Well that's it folks there will be no incoming players.

Anyone who shouts for Rodgers out I suggest you go and get an Everton shirt tomorrow. Everything about BR is fantastic. He has a plan he has stood by it and has not been backed by Liverpool's owners.

Once again we realise that Yanks lie, we are an investment to them, a way of promoting them to the world, an ability to increase their revenue. We are a football club and not a soccer club to be used.

I am sure it will come out soon but 'Yanks out, now'.

LostPatience

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:50:15
I do hope LFC TV are wrong, we need a goal scorer, KK failed to get one and as much the squad has improved, we are still missing that striker, let's just hope

kevc

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:50:08
Rodgers wont be lasting long!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:53
What about the Dempsey deal now? Looks very unlikely.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:50
Still think we will get Dempsey, eds?

Or anyone for that matter. Isn't looking likely to be honest.

Thanks.
AK. {Ed052's Note - no}

Javi Garcia £16m how did we miss it ?
Swansea will doing very well Hernandez is a quality player watch out this line.

hhh

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:40
Everyone has left mellwood no signings coming in tonight letting Carroll go now looks like a very poor decision from Liverpool.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:36
Eds, as it stands - what new players will be wearing the red shirt tomorrow? {Ed052's Note - erm, me, we are that desperate now}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:33
Yesil looks more and more likely to be offering himself to the first teams cause this season.

Joke. {Ed052's Note - haha yes}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:31
Hope we get Sturridge. Any news {Ed052's Note - he wont be coming]

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:49:30
Not trying to be negative but i will be hugely worried if we don't sign anyone our squad is paper thin at the moment!

Cheers
Daryll

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:48:06
looks like we've failed to sign anyone, what with ian ayre and brendan rogers now gone. Im afraid we can kiss goodbye to anywhere near top 4 without a goalscorer. borini is a winger and saurez will score a maximum of 15. we've got nearly 7 million from players, why cant we sign dempsey???
I would love to know eds {Ed063's Note - I honestly dont know}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:48:04
hi edds

this has to be the owners fault. surely they could of got a few players in. and always said money was availible for the right players etc.

well its about time they showed us and we still dont have a new stadium when they said they was going to look into it.

i think they trying to run us on the cheap. not bothered about us challening for anything

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:47:57
Liverpool cannot even match the 5 million pound plus 2 million in add on's for Clint Dempsey offered by Villa. This is pathetic.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:47:47
I am so pissed off right now... why would we loan or only other senior striker and replace them with nobody

we have a striker who cant finish and if he gets injured i would not be surprised if we were in the bottom half... i mean honestly how long till we sign a goal scorer its been over a year and nothing

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:47:27
Hi Eds,

First time posting. Great site.

My mate has just text me to say that he is watching LFC TV and that they've made an official announcement to say that there will be no incoming players tonight. What a let down!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:47:26
So that's it then . Not great deadline day dealings . Also dempsey wants to play for us why couldn't we raise an extra couple of million to buy him out right . Surly the owners could do that .


Jamesy

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:47:23
Looks like we wont be getting anyone else, bit of a let down tbh, dempsey and damiao would have been great signings looks like well struggle again this season for goals :( fingers crossed things change

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:47:15
LFC you are an absolute disgrace. Fans have been completely short changed. I think we deserve some answers. In the space of 24 hours we have become a small club. Getting rid of Carroll was stupidity beyond belief.

If I was Brendan Rodgers I would walk away.

FSG OUT, FSG OUT

eds please post. What are liverpool at. Liverpool would not meet dempseys valuation even though villa did. Liverpool got a loan fee for carroll and 4/5mill for Adam. we really needed to get Dempsey at least if not 1 or 2 more. It makes me sick 2 c us not being able to muster up a couple of million pounds ti get the deal done. Ramirez to Southampton for £12mill so all the talk that Liverpool made offers of 15/17million for Ramirez weeks ago was a load of tosh. Its sad we have to rely on loans and cheap buys when even teams like Qpr are splashing the cash. we have fallen so far it pains me to say. Top 4 being serious no chance top6 we will struggle and that is the reality. Ynwa. Please post as i have tried a lot of times to get posted with no success. cheers

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:46:32
lfc tv say no signings to be made. bbc and sky say the same. rodgers went home at 7 o clock.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:46:29
Have no idea what's going on as far as transfers if i'm honest but logically we must have something in the pipeline as we let Andy Carroll go yesterday - and that decision would be very, very strange considering we have very little cover!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:46:27
Dempsey deal on the verge of collapsing as neither side are willing to budge on their valuation of the player. Maybe no signings today.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:46:27
on lfc tv they are saying no more signings, what do you make of that? cheers for the good work.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:46:24
liverpool have just announced,there will be no more signings today

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:46:21
Hi eds,

I just tuned to a website to get a feel of where we stand and they just reported that a source within the club has told them that Liverpool FC don't expect anyone to come in. Is this possible? Because if true, we are weaker now than we were 48hours ago. Please tell me they are wrong?

Canadian Fan

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:46:16
We will sign no one unless we have lied to a website which could be possible but liverpool are not going to make any signings which is a complete and utter joke! Carroll out on loan and no one to replace him still leaves us short up front and also still not enough quality cover in wingers struggle to finish top 6 i think. even top 8.

31 Aug 2012 20:46:15
Liverpool will buy no more players before the window closes! The owners are refusing to put anymore money into the club! They are reducing the wage bill to make the club more self sustainable as they plan to sell the club! They have been discreetly letting it be known to hedge fund companies that they would be open to a bid! I know this because I work for a large American investment company! It's disgraceful and they are no better than hicks and gillet!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:43:38
Clint Dempsey's proposed move to Liverpool is on the brink of a collapse. "Sides too far apart. May not be any ins at Anfield tonight

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:53
Not so much a rumour but truth. This is embarrassing no new signings and we let AC leave, nice one hope we don't get relegated this season. Top 4 my ass

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:47
If we believe SSN no incomings.....after last Sunday's euphoria and a very average performance against a very average team last night...looking like a damp squib now. Lack of goals = lack of trophies and 4th place! I hope these reports are wrong!

31 Aug 2012 20:44:41
Watching the live from Melwood broadcast-
Imagine a kid waits up all night for Santa to bring him some Xmas Prezzies. Suppose Santa doesn't come! FSG better not dissappoint or there will be trouble!

Hahaaaha ur joke lol

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:39
Gary neville say's today that deadline day make one thing to see how well the club management is . I personally don't like him but his word in my mind whole day. we mess up last year for Carroll. this year for Dampsy.
don't hate or abuse me for saying the truth friend but we miss a top class football related CEO.

r-r

Do not quote g nev on this page please.

Realistic red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:36
We need dempsey and a striker atleadt Rodgers what av you done if u dont sign any1 u hav jus suarez and borini and if suarez gets injued wev had it
Basy

Its not Rodgers, its the owners not stumping up the cash.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:32
That's it, Melwoods closed..

No more incomings Ian Ayre's gone home..

We are seriously in the rubbishe, FSG now your heads.

Embarrassing.....

Curled1

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:22
no more signings not even Dempsey,well played Ayre and FSG !

Why blame FSG - they have said money is available, blame BR, it is purely on his shoulders, his targets haven't been available for the price HE thinks they are worth.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:21
No one coming in as we offered less than Villa and Fulham not impressed and we will not offer anymore!! Gutted!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:19
ian ayre gone home to...looks like we guna have to wait till january...and we wont put in an improved bid for dempsey,we didnt even match villas bid for him! rodgers is in bad form!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:16
Up at Mellwood, Ian Ayre just left training area, doesn't look like anyone is going too sign! Not good!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:46
LFC TV, BBC, ESPN and a website all confirm that we will be making no signings tonight. Rodgers went home at 7.15.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:45
I'll be utterly shocked and concerned if we fail to address our striker issue by 11pm....

What happens is Luis gets injured? Borini is expected to lead the line? And if Fabio gets injured, Morgan right?? wow........

Lee YNWA

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:41
Eds is it true? No more incomings? SSN just reported. Ian Ayre had left Melwood! Gutted! 10th spot for us!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:34
a website reporting that both Rodgers and Ian Ayre have both left melwood and sources indicate no incomings tonight.

Do eds still believe we'll see any movement, I think fans may turn on the American owners if there truly is no money whatsoever to spend.

Andy

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:33
Liverpool won't sign anyone else, believe me. Another season of struggling to score I think, won't get near top 4..

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:30
After hearing the news in LFCTV do you believe we are signing anybody or is it a smokescreen? {Ed022's Note - I believe we will now not sign anyone, I hope I am wrong. Things can change though.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:27
LFC TV saying Dempsey not coming all deals are off no more players arriving at Liverpool {Ed022's Note - I'm afraid it looks that way.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:26
Apparently no one at melwood. Does this matter? {Ed022's Note - Yes.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:26
I think we will sign kaka, you heard it here first. West side!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:12
Hmmm. Either we prefer to do our 'business' in the dying seconds or we are having serious problems bringing in our targets. Looking more and more like the latter.

Coop {Ed022's Note - we're having problems.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:06
Ian Ayre has just left Melwood. Please tell me he doesn't need to be there for any deals to be completed. Or have all the deals been completed and we are just being kept in the dark?

I'll be gutted if we don't bring any forwards in.

Damao will be a big boost to the fans if it is indeed true. However, I feel the news would have broke if it were true. {Ed022's Note - I'm afraid it looks like we will not buy Dempsey.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:45:56
If liverpool do not have another striker by the end of the night. I am gonna be going mental. Two recogised strikers in suarez and borini and we let Carroll go.....god given bent would be better than nothing

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:04
Reports are suggesting Clint Dempsey's on-off transfer saga with Liverpool appears to finally be OFF.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:03
This is a joke, I am afraid the club have messed up.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:44:03
its high time to throw morgan in the first time. Suarez, allen and sahin can make him a player with 20+ goal. I think suarez must play on wide left with borini upfront in the middle and Borini will be our poacher

No they can't he too young and a rash player

God what pressure for the kid imagine he misses a few chances scape goat comes to mind imagine the groans

I disagree Morgan is not ready, he suffocated Suarez against hearts. i'd prefer Ngoo over Morgan or though Yesil in there.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:43:59
Dempsey deal looks to be off, with Fulham not budging! We may miss out! Any chance of Falcao lol? He's pure class only if!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:43:53
Eds, Sky reporting that liverpool wouldn't match Villa's bid for Dempsey, it isn't happening and that everyone has now left melwood having confirmed no transfers. Any truth? {Ed063's Note - Dempsey deal fell through. Fulham attempting to charge us more than Villa and Sunderland. We're trying to get people in now}

So are you telling me that we put

So are you telling me are put ALL of your time of the day into Dempsey and no other players?

Bastos would £7m he plays for BRAZIL left back or winger, he brings goals from open play or free kicks.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:43:53
Get used to the team we have people no new faces tonight Dempsey deal is off as we couldn't find the cash fulham wanted (7m)

Man in the know

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:43:50
Maybe FSG should go For a medical cause I think something is wrong with them, they left LFC without strikers and gave Caroll away

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:43:42
Ssn reporting LFCtv saying all deals are off and no one coming in tonight! I can't find it on our website though!
You heard this Eds?
(great work btw) {Ed063's Note - Dempsey deal fell through. Fulham attempting to charge us more than Villa and Sunderland. We're trying to get people in now}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:43:41
No-one comming in BR and Ian ayre gone home. great stuff by lfc again. top 8 if we are lucky

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:43:40
No signings LFC TV gutted what a joke we've been tangoed people Liam

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:42:52
Apparently liverpool have shut up shop brendan rodgers gone home n so has ian ayre. BADTIMES!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:42:43
no movement on dempsey or anyone else? please tell me this isnt true...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:42:36
This is stupid! Rogers and ayre have gone home! Why would we allow Carroll go with no strikers! What are we playing at edds? Help this is worrying, borini n Suarez is not enough to get us anywhere near top 4

Help help help

Red {Ed001's Note - they are playing a dangerous game mate. This could so easily backfire on them.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:42:35
We will be signing no one Ian Ayre and staff have left melwood no deals for us

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:42:34
Sly reporting that their sources believe no more incomings this window. Melwood shutting up shop for the evening. Is it genuinely time to start worrying for the season ahead?

Cheers
Greggers

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:42:28
What a joke. 7 Players out and 2 in.

Ian Ayre and Brendan Rodgers have gone home.

Looks like no one else coming in.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:42:23
No incomings tonight. Gutted.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:42:23
No more signings what a f joke same old Liverpool

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:42:19
sly sports just said every one gone home from melwood looks like no more players coming in wow were screeming for a striker come on lfc

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:42:08
where ****ed got 1 main striker and loaned are other one! rodgers has just put a loaded gun to his head

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:43:06
Oh dear a little over 2 hours its looks all over!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:41:39
Thank you Ed001 and all the others for creating, running and tolerating this site.
I hope we sign Dempsey, another striker would be nice as well. Fingers crossed.

ed's please post none of my posts have gone on today... are we seriously not doing any further business?? ifso that is an absolute joke... Lee {Ed052's Note - We wont pay up for Dempsey - we may not sign anyone}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:41:30
BBC saying Dempsey deal dead in the water! {Ed052's Note - it is. we wont pay up}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:41:27
Ian Ayre has now left melwood, does that mean that's it ed?

Jimbob {Ed052's Note - Probably}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:41:12
no incomings i fancy 9th this season

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:41:08
If we dont get Dempsey then we will move to plan B......the 35 million panic buy, exciting stuff

They could throw 35 mio after Falcao......

I would expect a last minute deal for Dempsey. Cant see him being left to rot or making a u-turn with Fulham

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:40:55
LFC tv have just said unlikely now that any players will sign, bad decision to let Carroll go without a definate replacement, feel so gutted for Dempsey, our owners have done themselves no favours today.

If what Eds wrote is true then they want straight cash and why the hell aren´t we giving them just that? At least 4 million for Adam pocketed - that gives us a negative of 3 million euros if we bought Dempsey - someone who SCORES GOALS (that thing where you fire a ball into the net - something we haven´t been too great at). I sincerely hope this isn´t true.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:40:55
no more signings, a website reports. a bit disappointed. what do u think eds? {Ed063's Note - Dempsey deal fell through. Fulham attempting to charge us more than Villa and Sunderland. We're trying to get people in now}

It's out fault stop all this about fulham holding out for more. We just trying to get him on the cheap. Think of Carroll downing hendo signing for crazy mental money Dempsey is worth 7m !! Sick of it!!

Eds how are we trying to get people in if br and ian ayre have gone ? {Ed063's Note - I dont know but we are trying}

From what I have heard we only offerd £4m

Bad times

Ed 63, how do you that? i'm convinced your wrong. We dealt and we lost. We look foolish, FSG's promises look very very hollow.

Muzmacol YNWA

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:40:53
All club officials preparing to leave Mellwood. I guess there will be no signings tonight then.

Dont panic hopefully just away for fish and chips! {Ed063's Note - Love the fact you have a sense of humour at a time like this mate :D}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:40:39
Falcoa to Liverpool!!

Id gladly spend 35m again if it meant getting him

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:30:05
how much time left b4 the window shuts..abit confused with time zone issues {Ed063's Note - 2 hours}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:40:20
Lol what a joke Ian aire and rodgers have gone home... Melwood is closing up...
So gutted no chance of top 4 now!

We'll be fine - as long as we have absolutely no injuries whatsoever.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:40:17
a website guy saying his source has said liverpool are not expecting any more incomings! lets hope borini turns into a super star and br realize's suarez isnt as effective through the middle! ayre and br have both gone home

john

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:40:09
on LFC TV, reporter says..NO signings.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:40:08
Club is a shambles. Lost far more players than we brought in. Going backwards with penny pinching yanks

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:40:00
not signing anyone, ian ayre and other officails have left an gone home.

nightmare

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:39:51
FSG NEED TO GO!
This is a massive joke!
We have used the window to weaken the team.

I totally agree

Asset stripping at it's finest

31 Aug 2012 20:39:42
what a dissapointing deadline day........

It's 'disappointing'...

 

 

31 aug 2012 20:39:42
no signings.summer business all done

shocking

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:39:34
Looks like no deals tonight. Officials are going away from melwood.

Mighty reds

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:39:14
Talk sport have just announced

Cole to stay turned down move to Everton
Dempsey looking like no go and
Sturridge tuned down offer to join on loan as he wanted permanent deal.

I hope BR is going to pull something out of the bag or its at best 8th again for us!!

Can't win games without scoring goals!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:38:43
What the **** so one forward. Cant believe it. How do they expect us to finish in the top four with one striker.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:38:30
LFC TV just said that Ian Ayre is leaving melwood and that it looks like there are no signings going to happen today. Maybe tactical to get Dempsey deal pushed through


Gav

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:37:13
Torres 0 Falcao 3 - He must be wondering why he left Atletico at all!

Or maybe he is looking at his fa cup medal and champions league medal and thinking otherwise....

john

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:37:12
Any chance of a Late move for Aubameyang?

 

 

31 aug 2012 20:37:09
lfc tv , just said no ones coming into our club , ian ayres going home , this club is becoming a joke , these american owners arnt giving us any money ? how can we ever get into champions league with no money !!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:56
BBC reporting no more ins please just tell me that's not true. Will literally die if we end up signing no replacement for Carroll.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:49
"BBC Sport's Ben Smith says Clint Dempsey's proposed move to Liverpool is on the brink of a collapse. "Sides too far apart. May not be any ins at Anfield tonight."

Sigh. I don't even know what to say. We did we leave it this late?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:46
is rodgers back at melwood yet?the guy on lfctv reporting live from inside melwood reckons its looking more likely nobody is coming in!! help

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:43
Dempsey to stay at Fulham - fee cannot be agreed.
LFC need another striker

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:41
LIVE ON LFCTV OFFICIALS CONFIRM THERE WILL BE NO SIGNINGS TONIGHT AND IAN AYRE AND CLUB OFFICIALS ARE PREPARING TO LEAVE. ABSOLUE DIGRACE. SEASON OVER. WHY DID WE GET RED OF CARROLL.

RedKopite

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:38
No signings, everyone leaving melwood

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:37:48
Can see us signing no one,hope not if only had the money for falcao.

Is it true we could of bought him when rafa was manager for £3 but we had no money (eds).

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:37:44
Espn saying dempsey deal collapsed :(

What say ye eds?

Diagne {Ed063's Note - Dempsey deal fell through. Fulham attempting to charge us more than Villa and Sunderland. We're trying to get people in now}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:37:42
Lfctv said no signing tonight .

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:37:39
Liverpoolfctv have just confirmed it looks unlikely we are going to sign ANYONE! If this is true then why did we take the chance and let Carroll leave on loan . Im afraid weve made a blunder by taking a chance and hoping we'd bring someone in. Sorry but its been pathetic business dealing by liverpool in the last 2 days!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:37:36
Hmm think no signings today. Fulham really do not want to sell Dempsey to us and we are trying to drive a deal on the cheap. Bit short of goals up front which is worrying but an improved squad generally. The Carroll dealings of not giving him a chance and then letting him go without a replacement may cost us. Hope not

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:37:33
Just reported on lfc tv that club officials are being to leave melwood and it is very unlikely that there will be no incoming players.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:37:28
how on earth can we let our number 9 go out on loan with out a definate replacement?...owners seriously have a lot yo answer for iv always thought these were serious about makin our great club a success they r no better than the other cowboys. very dissapointed bunch of lfc fans here
cdo an pals

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:37:28
All this dempsey and sturridge rumours are just smoke screen for our real target neymar.....

no new signings tonight everyone is packing up and going home.
rogers is absolutly blazing mad and had a blazing row with ian ayre.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:23
no signings what so ever? wtf. just been announced on lfc tv

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:20
Lfc tv just said its unlikely we will sign anyone tonight ! Kenny wouldn't let Torres go until he had Carroll so why have we not had a deal done before he went to west ham?

Johnty

Exactly Mate

Rogers is foolhardy

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:13
LFC TV Looks like thats it. One word GUTTED!!!

DIGGERBARNES
NO10

Great owners

Makes no sense

1 word DISCUSTED!! (sorry for language eds, but can't hold it in)Ok that's 2.. This is BAD BAD FOR LFC.. Letting players go without a replacement. Suarez not really inform back if the net striker. Borini missed few belter chances already... I fear for the club this season if god forbid we get an I jury.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:10
BBC Sport saying we will NOT be signing anyone now. That is seriously depressing.

Stone YNWA.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:10
No-one coming in, just said so on lfc tv

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:05
They just said on lfc tv its extremelyunlikely that anyone wiill sign

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:05
OMG! Falcao is the most complete striker I have ever seen, absolutely lethal.
How many goals would he score playing for Liverpool 40-50 a season? Wish we where in a position to sign him.

LFC 2929

FFS we can't get Dempsey

Falcao is dreamland

Rafa was in 2009 for only 3 million from river plate but hicks and gillett didnt want to pull out that meagre amount so he went for 4 million euros to porto.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:04
Just broke on LFC TV that it is "unlikely" we will sign anybody else in this window. Gutted, but there is still hope. Dempsey please! {Ed063's Note - Dempsey deal fell through. Fulham attempting to charge us more than Villa and Sunderland. We're trying to get people in now}

Who should we believe then...ed's or the club itself?!

Not signing him over a couple of million? and where is acs replacement? these owners are false prophets if we dont sign dempsey over 3 million pounds

True Red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:04
LFC officials leaving melwood, unlikely to be any signings.

VERY DISAPPOINTING our squad is so thin especially up front.

31 Aug 2012 20:35:58
Not a Liverpool rumour but I think at 9.45ish Abramovich will be writing out a cheque for 60m, Falcao has just passed his medical! Dgb79

During the match

60million? You having a laugh?? Cost more like 600million by the way he's tearing Chelsea apart.... {Ed001's Note - his release clause is 60m isn't it?}

Real just beat him to Falcao with a 70m bid...Roman's having a bad night...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:35:55
From lfc tv, unlikely anyone will come in tonight.....i hope this is a tactic to get fulham to see sense, but i have to say if that is the case letting carroll go was insane.....thoughts eds? {Ed063's Note - Dempsey deal fell through. Fulham attempting to charge us more than Villa and Sunderland. We're trying to get people in now}

No it was us not paying enough. 5m plus 2m add ons for a 12+ goals a season player disgusting!! I'm so down before season starts

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:35:38
no signings .ian ayre now leaving melwood

Liverpool officials quoted on LFCTV as saying it is extremely unlikely that there will be any incoming players tonight. Very disappointed if this is true. Any thoughts eds ? {Ed063's Note - Dempsey deal fell through. Fulham attempting to charge us more than Villa and Sunderland. We're trying to get people in now}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:35:30
Ed just watching Chelsea get destroyed and wondering why on earth didn't we sign Turan and also why would we be in for Walcott plse NO he is shocking would rather a quality striker and why not go all out for Dempsey and damiao/Llorente as they would be much better and personally I would go for llorente

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:36:01
Have we got a spare £60,000,000 for Falcao ??

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:35:25
Club officials just say extremely unlikely there will be any incomings :(

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:35:21
Not Liverpool related but shocking ,Chelsea made 80 milion pound bid for Radamel Falcao on the half time of European supercup final,stay tunned!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:35:14
Have it from a reliable source that Falcao will come out at the end of game in Liverpool shirt, reported to be a swap and cash deal involving Pacheco.
Cheers squeeky

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:35:05
In other news its Falcao 3 Chelsea 0 at Half time in the Super Falcao Cup!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:35:02
Like I said yesterday, no players coming in.
Leaves us in a worse position than last year, thin squad, let a centre forward go, no other options up front.
You need money to buy players, buy before you sell.
Brendan must be gutted.

31 Aug 2012 20:34:14
getting bit worried if we dont sign striker we r going to be in trouble cant believe we would of loaned carroll without a player being lined up i say send a private helicopter with a case full of 60 mil and sign falcoa at half time lol

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:34:46
No signings at all according to LFC TV

31 Aug 2012 20:34:20
Wow no signings!

pay the £7m for Dempsey already!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:34:19
ed52, i see you said that we held talks with damiao today, can you 100% confirm this or is it just rumour? do you know how much he is on at inter? surely if weve got carrols 80k of our wage bill and are after sturridge and dempsey we could afford his wages? im pining all my hopes and dreams on br hanging out his house window at 1055 and shouting 'weve signed damiao woo hoo!' i can but dream ha

john {Ed052's Note - we did talk to him, nothing can be doen}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:34:15
NO SIGNINGS TONIGHT... Confirmed, Rodgers left Melwood an hour ago. This is not acceptable. Awful season ahead.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:34:04
Lfctv are now saying that its extremely unlikely that there will be any signings tonight. Ian Ayre is now leaving melwood

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:34:00
LFC TV just reported from melwood that it's "extremely unlikely of any further incomings

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:33:40
from Melwood....we wont be signing anyone

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:33:40
confirmed
no signings tonight boys

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:33:37
Not ITK but I've heard Chelsea gonna get spanked tonight. #hilarious

I can confirm this - they are taking one hell of a beating

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:33:31
we should have saved all our money over the past 3 years and used it to pay for Falcao

HE IS CLASS, what a comparison to poor old Fernando, I bet the Athletico fans are missing Torres (im nobodys child)

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:33:25
OMG why has lfc tv got a deadline day programme.I've been at wakes that we're more fun.bye bye mr rodgers come christmass then its only a matter of getting rid of the yanks.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:33:17
You know I certainly am hoping for Dempsey and Sturridge but I have to say how pleased I am to we have rid of Adam, Spearing and Carroll. In my eyes those 3 leaving actually strengthens our team by allowing younger players to play. I still hope we sing a couple though. Well done BR in advance.

Village

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:33:02
Chelsea 0 Vs Falcao 3
Carroll cost more then Falcao oh God.

Actually Falcao cost £38m.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:32:55
hello reds... lets wait until after eleven tonight before we start slagging off the owners... see what happens!! innocent until proven guilty?

ynwa

blindsyde

No need to wait till 11pm we aint signing anyone! start slagging

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:32:55
Now BBC reporting no incomings for liverpool.
Its fair to say this day has been a disappointment. If Rodgers can help us finish around 8th with that squad I think it would be great.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:32:42
hahah chelsea losing 3-0 Falcao hatrick! talking of strikers!!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:32:32
We will not make any signings. Dempsey and Sturridge were the deals we had in place and neither happening. Fulham not budging on £7m asking price. And LFC not prepared to offer more than £5m {Ed052's Note - Looks all off}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:32:07
Bbc say no one coming in tonight
Wtf are they joking and is rodgers on something if we don't sign a striker then he should be questioned without a doubt
Suarez and borini is he joking that strike force is to thin
Very annoyed and disappointed
Bean {Ed052's Note - Dempsey looks off}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:31:24
Falcao is awesome!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:30:59
BBC reporting Liverpool will be making no signings...been saying this all day...huge disappointment. {Ed052's Note - thats wrong we believe}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:30:35
Hey Eds, is the Sturridge deal off then? Am still confident we will get at least 2 strikers in because Rodgers more than anyone would know we have a goal scoring problem. Plus we just let Carroll go. Just a bit nervy cause its all taking too long.
DAni {Ed052's Note - yes{

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:30:28
Eds has Llorente signed for anyone yet? Wasn't he getting death threats in Spain surely this will mean a move somewhere? I don't think just signing Dempsey is enough. Watching Chelsea game and Sturridge wasn't on the original subs list which would hint at a possible move breaking down? Please post your thoughts getting very frustrated here. Dgb79 {Ed052's Note - no, we have a chance}

Just confirmed (bbc, sky, espn etc) that no more players will be coming in to anfield. {Ed052's Note - that is wrong}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:29:03
Hi Eds,
Is it true it will be Dempsey and business done. When will he sign. We can only dream about Damiao and I have no idea why we were linked with him.
Thanks in advance.
YNWA {Ed063's Note - We were linked with him because we were in talks with him over moving to Liverpool}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:28:53
Does anyone have a déjà vu feeling about our failure to sign anyone in this window?!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:28:17
Look boys chill the funk out, Dempsey will sign it's nailed on fulham are bound to play hard ball and a website like it like that...

The club are going all out to sign a new striker it might happen but it might not...

Either way we will be fine...

Are you with me on this one eds?

Alfie {Ed063's Note - Yes there is the potential for one more after dempsey - but the club will have to move fast}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:29:18
Eds, if we happen to pull of a shock deal for someone abroad, for example, damiao with him being all the way in brazil. How would we be able to pull of such a deal?

ConaLfc {Ed052's Note - With money}

Fair enough...

ConaLfc

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:27:55
Ed 52 you in particular have been immense today with all your info ! Cheers to you and the other eds! Live outside melwood and I've been to see the crowd by Ssn team - apparently Dempsey on way soon but silence on all other fronts, I'm praying for Damiao do you think it actually could happen?

Melwoodred {Ed052's Note - no problem. Dempsey should sign. We are praying for damiao too. Especially Ed063. And btw, to everyone, if you want to thank any Ed, thank 001 - he's a star. There would be nothing without him}

Here, Here! Ed001 is boss

Thanks to all the Eds what ever happens I will still be logging every day. Thanks again.
KernowRed

Thanks to all eds....but unfortunatly wer not getting any1 know from what ssn are saying so lets look forward to another dissapointing season

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:27:42
OUT _ Carroll, Adam, Spearing, Maxi, Kuyt, Aqualani, Aurelio, Bellamy, Siva, If there's anyone else please add.
IN - Borini, Sahin, Allen and Assiadi... Surely we have to get 1 or 2 more tonight or we will struggle as the long hard season takes its toll but with only 2 half hrs of transfer left were in serious danger off being caught short i fear.

I'm hearing you, however you could say Joe Cole is like a new signing but i am sure at least one more will come in.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:28:00
KopBoy from the great LDN

Liverpool are struggling to agree a deal with Damiao or llorente, but the club are optimistic.

A second offer will be placed for Dempsey.

As it stands Joe Cole will be staying. No good offers on the table from his point of view.

KOPBOY

Are you daniel hanwell

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:25:06
Why don't people stop complaining. We still may sign a superstar and you will then eat your words. At least wait until 11PM. YNWA

You live in dreamworld mate!
Never going to happen :(((

Every1 on the count of 3 pray to the god of football that lfc sign Dempsey and damiao or any striker in fact

31 Aug 2012 20:24:48
Eds I can't help notice but there now seems to be a few worried fans posting about the lack of signings today. Seems to me that these are the fans that were happy to watch kenny pay silly money for the dead wood from last season. Lets just all wait to 11pm and cross all are fingers and toes that we do sign a player or 2! {Ed052's Note - Dont worry people}

Starting to worry Ed.

dmedly {Ed052's Note - no signings}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:24:26
Aston Villa believed to have offered £8million for Henderson. Liverpool would prefer Darren Bent in a part exchange deal to replace Carroll. {Ed052's Note - Villa want Hendo, he may go to free up funds}

Don't mind him going but surely not for 8m would like to get at least 15m for him

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:24:07
Keep up the hard work Ed's, not long now. I'm praying we get our targets in on time or I fear we'll be short up front.

Karl {Ed052's Note - Thanks!! Same}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:23:41
Ed's where are the Dzeko rumours coming from? Are they true? {Ed052's Note - No, and I am not too sure where they are coming from}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:23:13
yet again another day over over exited rumours and wish lists, I so wish some of these were true, but is it just me or are we looking at another half empty glass again.
What you think Eds what about this so called superstar everyones been bandying about.

Just gonna be dempsey and a few panick buys over the odds as yet again we have sold experienced players and now everyone knows we are desperate.

probably end up paying 20 mill to Owens agent to get him in .

Come on FSG show some balls and some money.
We gonna be a laughing stock at close yet again.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:23:09
Are we going to get dempsey ? {Ed052's Note - yes]

We are trying . once we ignore fulham now they did it to us. tat for tit.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:22:52
So FSG give 100m+ to a manager who's been out of the game for decades and knows little about what a quality footballer is now-a-days, and still living in the past where english clubs had a squad of english players where scotts men were considered 'foreign'.
Then they bring in Rodgers who clearly wants to ship out the garbage and bring in quality players, however they give him a pathetic budget. They tell him to reduce the wage bill - check. But then don't give him funds to replace those players, leaving gaping holes in the squad. This is their idea of: 'competing with the top teams financially' (like they said at the start) and getting Liverpool back into top four (like they said). What is this? If TWO forwards (one of which is a goalscorer) are not signed, I really will be worried.

LJ

If they hadn't of first given K.K the job full time tafter he did well as caretaker, then following that supported him to the hilt financially as they did. Their would've been hell to pay, hell to play I say. Start using your noodle mate and start to realise the owners have an pretty good when you have a good hard look at em, we're in a bit of strife because of previous regimes, owners and managers that luckily the man they appointed Rodgers is here to sort out. Which he will,it might well take more then this window to get our squad the way Rodgers wants it. Your gonna have to be a bit more patient my friend.
Jonson

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:22:35
Eds dose this Owen deal have any legs {Ed052's Note - no}

Does he even have the legs any more!?

Realistic red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:22:07
david villa or xabi alonso to lfc tonite not a dead cert but a feeling we will get one of these players or another player that no one expects!!!! NwK !!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:20:34
It really is arse twitch time yet again as deadline day goes the same way as always for us reds but surely Carroll would not be allowed to leave without a replacement and Dempsey is NOT a replacement. Begging for a miracle and Damiao.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:20:33
Liverpool are not going to sell Joe Cole..... atm!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:20:03
Would rather sign Sturridge than Dempsey
Dempsey is rubbish!!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:19:55
If the owners don't give Rodgers the money to sign Dempsey and a striker,then I seriously hope Rodgers tells them were to go,now on earth do they expect us to compete

alan50 {Ed063's Note - Dempsey is coming and something else may happen}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:18:49
Ed's strong rumours coming out of club is Owen to sign as a back up striker on a 12 month contract. Dempsey deal to go right to the wire, sturridge deal is still a possibility all depends on Dempsey. Walcott deal is still being looked at but highly likely a January deal.

Red score

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:18:49
Fulham have bought Dempsey's replacement so they will want to sell now (save on wages etc). Dempsey transfer will happen but it's had to go the distance because of high (unrealistic) valuation from Fulham. Force them (from a business point of view) to sell for a lower fee. A dangerous tactic from LFC unless they are very sure the player only wants to play for you.

Forward - I don't think AC would have gone unless a replacement was in the bag but perhaps I'm wrong.
Maz

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:18:37
Eds

I think we have had a very bad window this time. Ok the wages have been reduced but our squad has not improved and in fact it is very light on back ups

Allen for Adam. This is a + for us
Assaidi for Maxi. This is an = i.e. no gain
Sahin for Spearing. This is a + for next year but the position reverts next year so an = is more appropriate
Borini for Kuyt. Is a -. Kuyt was a good player for us. Borini has proven nothing yet and even his first games have shown nothing special.
Carroll for ???. Negative. I would take Carroll over dempsey any time due to age, gives team something different.
Bellamy for no replacement
Aquilani for no replacement
Aurelio for no replacement (except maybe Stewart Downing)

The club with a new manager has had a net spend of about 25 million but club have saved nearly 30 million per year on wages. With the income we generate even without Champions league we can surely do better than we have.

Orrin

Also lost

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:15:54
Not saying anything is gonna happen just wondering why Sahin is tweeting about Falcao being class?

Rik int Wirral {Ed063's Note - Because he is class}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:21:11
Why are so many people getting worried that Fulham have rejected our bid?
It's practically standard sales technique.
Imagine you're selling something, a house or a car, and someone makes you an offer that you feel isn't good enough, then you knock it back.
If they want what you're selling, then they'll come back with a better offer. If it's still not good enough, you knock it back again.
Eventually, a compromise is reached, and a deal is done.
Relax everyone, I'm sure we'll secure Clint.
On this one, I do feel lucky. Punk.

Redjinal

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:18:12
Falcao has already scored twice in 19mins against Chelsea. So much for RDM wanting to win 7 trophies.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:18:08
This is worrying, if we don;t get a striker in then we'll struggle.

We also let the likes of Bellamy go who could of chipped in with 10-15 goals in a season

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:18:03
Outs and replacements:
Spearing - Sahin
Adam - Allen
Bellamy - Sterling
Maxi - Borini
Kuyt - ??
Carroll - ??
Aurelio - Downing
We're missing two players Brendan! And we still have Joe Bloody Cole!
Nervous Red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:17:52
Really not sure about the Dempsey saga. Can't help but feel Mohamed Al Fayed is at his stubborn best again.

Hopeful for a signing at least, I'm sure Liverpool are smart enough to have a list of targets, Brendan seemed to touch on it earlier.

Drewzer

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:17:50
I've heard Damiao is a close if the player lowers his wage demands. Both clubs have agreed deal.

Warrington Red

Michel Bastos....will break on a website close to 10 o'clock

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:17:29
If we had kept AC then I wouldn't have been too bothered at all not signing anyone today. But you would have thought that player(s) must have been all but sorted to let him leave so late in the window.

Still a bit of time but making me nervous.

Davey

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:16:56

31 Aug 2012 20:16:53
Marty Mcvey seen at melwood, great signing for 5mil

we aint signing nobody {Ed052's Note - we will, Dempsey,. and a shock star signing}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:16:19
i think the signings have already been done earlier in the day and they ll announce them on this evening show on lfctv

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:16:14
Can't believe I am hearing that we are letting Suzo go out on loan,great player and will probably leave due to lack of 1st team oppotunities,still we have got the great Joe Cole and Jordan Henderson

hey what time does the window close {Ed052's Note -11}

Crikey do you live in a cave

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:15:36
Do we not find it Odd the Pacheco & Suso who both no how to play Bracelona / Madrid style that BR wants to employ and we are letting them move ...?

I also believe BR has a bit of a problem with Young Robinson ...

Pacheco & Suso being let go was part the reason the cSpanish coach left

Have to say , no convinced by New owners , yes they are balancing the books but we will be so far behind it will take them years to get back in top 8
they don't have the ambiton for a club like Liverpool

I' worked at the club until 2 years ago
and yes it was a mess , they are being sensible but sensible I guess is not what the Fans want after years of waiting

31 Aug 2012 20:14:23
hey eds am a big lfc fan from nigeria....why have we nt bin active must we get demsey..if they are playing hardball then we should face other targets....i dont see d point in sending carroll and co on loan and not getting replacements {Ed052's Note - we are active. He will sign soon}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:10:15
Radamel Falcao £50m next year. {Ed063's Note - Hes worth it}

Zenit St petersburg already had an offer of 60 Million Euros rejected for Falcao Last week

Orrin

Judging by his barnet, he definitely uses L'Oreal.

Redjinal

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:10:12
If we sign a striker then great, if we don't sign one then we'll just cope with who we have now and wait until January. Regardless of the transfer activity from now on, we have to support the team. I'm sure Rodgers has a plethora of players he'd love to sign but if he isn't being given the support then he is powerless - do not turn on Rodgers, the financial support needs to be given from the board. I hope we'll all get behind LFC regardless, we've been in far worse situations than we are right now and we will carry on through the storm. Also, massive thanks to all the Eds, you take your time out to help us with info and it is appreciated, ignore the people on here.

31 Aug 2012 20:07:52
Didnt meireles hand a transfer request 30minutes or so before deadline last summer and still move to Chelsea? if so, then its still very plausible we'll bring players in still.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:12:47
i think we should bid for Falcao he is just what Liverpool need, hear he is a boyhood Liverpool supporter. We can all start the rumour for the January window!!

by the way We are Skint!!!!

Time for Robbie Fowler to lace up his boots one last time?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:12:28
Hi Ed's with 3hrs left.. I still expect Dempsey.
Would u say it's to late for Walcott and Damiao? {Ed052's Note - no}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:12:17
Would not getting a striker be worse than paying £35m for one?
kernowRed

Of course not! This time we're being linked with Damiao, Llorente and co - players who are actually worth 35m.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:12:02
hi eds, first time ive ever seen this rumour page as a bit of a technophobe. usually rely on ssn/mates for info. have to say that im very impressed with your information and honesty. i am hooked. defo keep up the good work. YNWA. rejored {Ed052's Note - great, nice to see you on the site}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:11:46
Damiao and hell with brake loose in Liverpool.

Also no profile of Moussa Dembele. Please include.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:11:25
So Villa make a bid for Dempsey, Fulham accept because Dempsey wants to come to us. We make a bid and then Dempsey hear's that Spurs want him so he tells Fulham to reject our offer. I dont want a player like this at our club. Good riddance.

How did you come to that conclusion? Donut!

Stop making up storys Fulham rejected ou bid not Dempsey

Where has it been stated that Dempsey told Fulham to reject our offer? Seems like a strange conclusion to jump to.
Bob

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:11:19
We are going to have to get even just one striker because otherwise we are really short. Ifnsusrez gets injured? Well we are in trouble

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:10:41
Maybe supporting this team over the last couple of years and taught me to think the worst, but I'm really not confident. I think we will sign Dempsey and no one else, which is not good enough. I just hope we can pull a big name out of the bag, a llorente/damaio/lewandowski but I really, really, really doubt it will happen. Not too optimistic but hey. Even if we only get Dempsey its an improvement from last year.q

RedKopite

Think the worst? Buying players hasn't been a problem for us even in the last two years. We've spent/wasted too much money particularly K.K and D.C. You can hardly blame the owners for being a frugal when they see a 35 mil pound player get loaned out and the played said players market value more then halved. I'm expecting Dempsey, anything else will for me be a big bonus.
Jonson

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:10:26
Just got off the phone with my mate who works for the club. Unfortunately, there will be no more signings. Stupid move of Brenden Rodgers to let Carroll go to whu.

Forgetting about the first bit, when is very soon? Thanks mate. {Ed052's Note - next 3 hours}

Ed do you think we will sign anyone other than dempsey..if yes then who is most likely...reply will be appreciated...thanks...
Shayan {Ed052's Note - maybe - not sure}

Aubameyang?

Hi Eds
Do players always have a medical before they sign or is it down the clubs preference?

Great Site
BaldyRed {Ed052's Note - no, they can be signed subject to medical}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:04:36
The negativity on here by some posters is driving me mad.
Some people are never satisfied with anything that has or will/maybe done by the club re transfers.

Look where we were a while ago . .things are better and moving forward.

Still time on the clock to do some business.

I just bought a new car recently, took me ages to look around, decide what i wanted and how much i was willing to pay. GUESS WHAT. . took me half an hour to shake hands, sign the log book and drive home.

Point is stop moaning about, we didn't do this or that.
To coin a phrase " It ain't over until the fat lady sings "
which is about 11:00pm.

please could you reply to this, are liverpool really going for leandro damiao because if yes, top 4 easy for us. thanks ynwa {Ed052's Note - we did, but it stalled}

Cant FSG just sign him. Surely they are able to see how big a signing he would be for us?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:03:16

31 Aug 2012 20:01:28
OMG see if we don't sign dempsey, llorente, damaio, walcott, sturridge and huntelaar we are definitely going to be in the relegation zone come xmas. We definitely need all six of them to even come close to the top half of the table, it's so easy - just get them in! Rodgers and FSG OUT!!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:01:10
Eds just heard on LFC TV that there has just been a mouthwatering arrival from Italy at Melwood. A box of pizzas for the staff {Ed052's Note - haha}

Chelsea losing. {Ed052's Note - hahahaha}

I wouldn`t laugh too soon Eds, sturridge may come on and score a hat-trick !

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:00:39
we are in talks with fulham over dempsey but bid is under what they asked for but can they say no when he wants to join liverpool what do you think eds {Ed052's Note - people really really want to join us}

Of course they can say '' no '' , he is under contract !

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:00:19
No new signing if so only Dempsey

 

 

31 Aug 2012 20:00:17
Hi Eds, I've heard from my mate in Liverpool that he's saw Walcott in a car. Has anyone else seen this or is he lying? {Ed052's Note - he wont be signing}

Was his brother beo walcott!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:59:52
liverpool biding their time for a deal for dempsey as fulham know they have to sell and liverpool know dempsey will only come to us, expect it to happen close to the deadline.

also club working on a deal for a striker, damiao will not happen forget it

cheers,

31 Aug 2012 19:57:42
I can't believe that LFC TV are having a deadline day programme when we haven't signed anyone.I can't imagine us not signing noone can you ed? I think there is something going on maybe for Fox tv star signing which would be kudos for the being liverpool is that conspiracy theorist? Or have we got mingebag owners who arent going to invest in us going to the next level cos otherwise were gonna be looking like galoots bless ya Liam {Ed052's Note - we will sign people}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:56:44
if we dont get a striker in other then dempsey its joke on us AGAIN.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:55:23
any news on the signing someone front ? {Ed052's Note - Dempsey?!}

Just Dempsey Eds? Be a great signing but that would leave us short up front don't you think?

Kop71 {Ed063's Note - theres still time for one more}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:53:53
Can we get a wall of shame for all of the "watch this spaces" and "remember the names"; they're getting hard to track.

just saying there is a difference between a rumour and unequivocal assertions of absolutism.

You're right, there is a difference between a rumour and an 'unequivocal assertion of absolutism.
Considering this is a rumours website, maybe the Ed's should think about setting up www.liverpool-unequivocalassertionofabsolutism.co.uk

Ed how can we send Suso on loan when he's on the last year of his contract? When will we renew it?

I aint happy bwt that either pal the lad should be in the 25 man squad for the season.

31 Aug 2012 19:53:07
Sign Falcao... he is awesome!

We haven't 5 quid never mind 50 mil

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:52:54
Falcao is gold!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:51:31
No striker yet!!
Am I the only one getting really nervous.

Kev the Red {Ed052's Note - no - i am nervous but confident}

I hope your right Ed052 because if we dont sign someone we will struggle for top half. Posession does not mean goals!

Kev the Red {Ed052's Note - true - expect Dempsey}

No i am crapping myself

31 Aug 2012 19:51:26
Is it now obvious that Sturridge is not coming.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:51:13
Ed's, do you expect Dempsey will hand in a transfer request after Full Ham turn down our offers? Please respond.

Ashu {Ed052's Note - that wont help}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:51:10
Ahoy - something bothering me about the transfer window.

Is this window single or double glazed, sash or pvc, does it have hinges, is it safety glass is it stained glass, is it mirrored ?????.

Please can someone enlighted me.

BOILED ONIONS

Ita a upvc door and it looks like no one is coming through it.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:49:55
We are a joke. We have tapped up Dempsey for months and are now haggling about money. Pay the fee and get the player in. The yanks gave kenny 100 million to spend and got 70 back. If they are serious about our club then get the money out. We have missed out on Walcott, Johnston, rameriz. We can't even compete on a financial level with Sunderland and Southampton

They gave him like 120m to spend and got 70 back.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:49:32
No Sturridge only Dempsey borini and Suarez our striking options I expect a final push for a big name. Thoughts eds? {Ed052's Note - I agree]

Affraid I dont. Morgan and the young German lad will get games, he will also pack the midfield like spain in some games.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:49:19
Three players to be unveiled at 11pm at anfield, Ramirez has been done for a week or more, but has had things to sort in Italy. Sturrage was the target but chelsea have messed him and liverpool around, which has left us short. Dempsey will move to villa, for fear not not being good enough for lfc. Meaning last minute panics that work out well, yossi and Dzeko.

Why are the eds printing such rubbish? Ramirez has already signed for the Saints!

Ramirez has already signed for southampton, i doubt if we had signed him a week ago that we would sell him to southampton in the same window

?? Ramirez has signed for southampton u person

Simon

The same ramirez thats signed for southampton not sure if they will sell so soon but hey cross your fingers eh

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:52:34
What about essien? {Ed022's Note - No.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:52:00
We have a very small squad now how r we going to cope

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:48:28
Where's the search function gone lads and lasses?

I want to check MiamiRed's track record, he's made a bold claim about Llorente and Damiao signing already.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:48:15
Espn reporting fulham saying they have not yet received a bid from liverpool , sly sports well of the mark

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:48:10
If we managed to sign Damiao before 11 I'll run to Melwood naked to greet him.

He told me any one that greets him has to wear budgie smugglers, sorry

I dont think he would appreciate that ha.ha

31 Aug 2012 19:46:56
ed can sturridge still be on because if he leaves 15mins early from the game hell be bk in time for medical plz let me know ed and also is dempsey wallcott and damioa coming in is llrorente rumour have any legs ps

yours sincerly.

Sorry for asking the same questions as everyone else eds I'm on my phone and it's playing up so sometimes other people's posts are only showing ages after so I haven't seen them until I post. Apologies

31 Aug 2012 19:44:16
Dont expect anyone else to come in, fulham will play hardball and would sooner he signed for somebody else rather than us!

Dissapointed so far in the transfer activity, why on earth did we let Carroll go, not enough fire power up front!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:43:25
Having let AC go on loan to WHU, if we don't sign a striker then I honestly hope the club get everything they deserve RELEGATION

How on earth can the owners/manager seriously hope to get in the top 4 with the current squad and NOT even have an out and out striker in the SQUAD never mind the team,ABSOLUTE JOKE

TOP 4 yeah if you turn the table upside down, disillusioned is an understatement to say the very least

alan50

Ha ha! Relegation? Seriously? Prime example you mate. Wonder whether you were one of the Carroll haters? Now He's our saviour. I personally liked the kid and didn't want him to leave, but I understand him going to the hammers to be the main man instead of 2nd maybe 3rd choice. Good luck to him.

Your lack of faith is disturbing.

Scott78

A liverpool supporter hoping we get relegated, are you sure your not an everton or man u fan, they are the only people i`ve heard say that,

Do us a favor and support a different team.
We don't need people like you.

Maybe he needed a rubbish

Don`t worry, it was just wind

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:42:05
Ed do you think we will sign a striker i.e Damiao,Llorente,Sturridge or will Clint Dempsey play as a forward also any updates on any other players thanks in advance.
cheers,
Lfc Liam {Ed052's Note - Yes and Dempsey}

Lol I love your optimism

31 Aug 2012 19:41:33
we will be signing no one at this rate ffgs buy damioa and dempsey both goal scorers just what we need what do u think ed? {Ed052's Note - possible}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:45:19
Expect a triple swoop on Bilbao, Susaet, Muniain and Llorente. 60m euros I'm hearing {Ed022's Note - I will literally cry with joy.}

Yes and then expect to witness a public lynching of the Bilbao owners tomorrow.

I'll drink myself stupid with my own party if this happens. Lets hope so!

If we do then we can win EPL who care about city

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:45:11
maybe we should have waited till we actually got a replacement in b4 letting carroll go. pls forget llorente we just cant afford him

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:45:06
We the Liver will win this EPL this season with our sexy football under Rodgers.

Put a smile on my face hehe...cheers mate

Not with no strikers we wont.

31 Aug 2012 19:44:58
i`m posting this at 7.40pm, still over 3 hours to go, a lot of deals will happen after 10pm when everyone has had enough of haggling ! still loads of time, it takes 1 minute to shake hands on a deal

And takes at least an hour to get a player to Melwood from inside the UK, then another hour for negotiations on contracts and another half hour on a medical?

Negotiations can be done on phone and players signed pending medical

If the above reply is true then we`ve run out of time already, forget it lads it`s all over

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:44:22
ok now I've finally given up, we won't sign anyone else, what an anti-climax. Crap season ahead with too few forwards...Not impressed.

we need a striker dempsey is not 1

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:39:55
i thought Liverpool were playing a game over the past few weeks, with something big up their sleeves. My brother in law told me last week they had big money problems and had not even paid for BRs compensation yet but I did not believe him (he is quite high up in Lloyds commercial side and a Swans fan)
Now i am starting to think he is right, i hope not.

Evered

If we did not pay swansea compensation for br why did they let us have allen for 15mil

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:39:30
Is there a chance that there could being done that hasn't got anyone's attention yet Ed? I'm losing faith here haha {Ed052's Note - yes!!}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:39:15
Question for anyone who knows... with Sturridge on the bench tonight would there be any way of signing him tonight? Does a medical have to be completed before the deadline shuts? Could LFC fly the club doctor out to Monaco to do it or does it have to be done in England? The game will finish before 10pm so technically there's an hour to complete a possible deal. Just wondering seeing as Dempsey alone isn't good enough, we have to sign at least 2 forward players before 11pm.
Thanks
Chris

31 Aug 2012 19:38:44
Eds this is a rubbish transfer day for Liverpool as always, and yet again we ain't signing anyone after months of people saying, Dempsey, Sturridge....etc. We are rubbish in the transfer market and always mess around instead of paying what needs to be done. Surely Dempsey is worth £7m so just pay it.

Neilp

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:38:40
What is going on? Possibly no Dempsey and no others? Got rid of kuyt, maxi, Carroll ans no replacements = 8th place at best, why is this always left to last minute??

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:57:40
Sturridge on the bench tonight. You can rule that one out.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:57:08
Sturridge on bench tonight in Monaco. Also Ed's are we still on for this "major star" signing on loan?

Thanks Gaz {Ed052's Note - that was sahin}

It is now that no one else is coming!

I think we need to be realsitic about star signings, we are no longer in that bracket of clubs that can attract stella players. Give BR 18 months and we'll be back. Signings so far have been excellent, although agree we do need another striker, if not letting Carroll go was a big mistake!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:37:42
Time ticking and getting nervous.

Was sad to read of Chelsea having DS on the bench being honest.

Hoping there is something being kept quiet about a striker but i think its time to start believing we might not get anyone.

31 Aug 2012 19:37:16

Owners and a manager that haven't got a clue what they are doing.a poor skelaton squad for the season.we have become pitifull.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:33:54
I still dont get it!

We need a goalscorer! its obvious to everyone and were going for Dempsey!

184 appearences for Fulham.. 50 goals since he joined in 2007, i got nothing against signing him, he can create chances but he isnt the answer to our biggest problem!
ItsNotRocketScience {Ed022's Note - Please include his statistics last season.}

Sorry, the stats i looked at just listed from 2007 -.. assumed that included last season!

However, even so, one season doesnt make a striker.. as Ive said, happy for him to come in but would like to beleive we have someone else lined up that is a seasoned goalscorer.. and not Michael bleeding Owen!..lol
ItsNotRocketScience

These owners are a joke there is no difference between these clowns and Gillette and Hicks,if you do your sums they did not put that much money into new players when you consider transfers out and reduction in wage bill...where is the work on new stadium or upgrading Anfield...these are clowns folks... plz post...wont even pay 7 mill for Dempsey...

This days circus was hyped up by Sly with their silver haired Scotsman championing their channel until 11pm, with big ben chiming and all that rubbishe. It's amazing how many weak minded fools buy blindly into it.

Rupert Murdoch must sit and rub him slug trailesque hands together every year laughing his cock off! Obviously people want to find out who they're clubs are draughting in but FFS! there is genuine panic and pesimism, snyping disallusionment at their clubs and managers if tens of millions are't splashed, or the clubs are calm and patient in bringing people in and use their poker faces in getting the players at the price they want to pay.

This never used to be the case, but we live in a era where patience seems to be non existent with people. Tweet, like, follow, log on, anywhere, worry, demand, spend, SLEEEEEEEP! Ha ha.

Wake up! We all love Liverpool but this is a joke and a media mind trick. It'll happen whether you flap whine or chill. The outcome will be the same.

Now, where's the Ipad so I can plug it into my Iphone Via my smart TV and snyc my Ichip in my brain onto the wireless internet so I can get all the transfer deadline news direct to my cerebral cortex and worry about one of the few things that makes me smile! ;-)

31 Aug 2012 19:28:57
the sturridge deal has fell through as chelsea have admitted defeat with their attempts of signing a stiker, schurrie was the top target but they was unable to agree a fee therefore he has to stay and has ben picked for the game tonight.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:28:45
Any chance of a centre forward being signed eds? That's what we need, a goal scorer I.e Lorente, diamao or sturridge! I am really disheartened we have left it this late to get one when it was obvious for all the world we lacked one last season! Pull your finger out LFC!! {Ed052's Note - yes}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:24:48
very disappointed. looks like maybe dempsey and thats it. suarez, borini and dempsey is simply not enough attacking options. Desperate for some sort of shock signing.

31 Aug 2012 19:24:16
Hi eds.

Do you believe there is a chance of leandro signing or any others apart from Dempsey. Would love Walcott or Sturbridge but can't see it. And leandro seems fantasy but we can dream.

Care to share some info.

Many thanks and great work throughout the whole window. {Ed022's Note - Other editors feel another will sign as well as Dempsey, but I'm unsure.}

Alot of negative posts today. Its been a great transfer window for us and still time to get players in. Im sure everything is in hand.

31 Aug 2012 19:15:37
This is probably meaningless but on a website it says on the Arsenal screen in the ''out column'' Walcott?

MR EM

Which website? RedTurk

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:15:32
Eds what are the chances of Dempsey now? Are we still likely to get anyone else as well as Dempsey? {Ed063's Note - Yes we are}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:15:29
Eds why do i get the feeling that we wont be signing anyone....

Sturidge playing for Chelsea, can't have a medical tonight then sturridge move off

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:14:57
Hey Chelsea fan here!
I think Sturridge is a bigger talent
than Schurrle. Much better technical ability, better finisher (played out of position as RW, manages to outscore most forwards), more agile and better acceleration. The only things Schurrle has over him
is that he contributes greatly to
defense and works hard for the team. Two things Sturridge has never heard of.He will be a great signing for you.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:14:45
Eds still expecting 2 signings ?
not looking good. Also looks sturridge deal is off as he is on the bench for Chelsea. Still trying to be positive thinking it could mean Damiao but I know I am going to be disappointed.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:14:23
Gareth Rogers for the Echo has said Fulham have just rejected our bid for Dempsey. WHAT is going ON!

Thanks Eds.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:14:15
Can't believe that Dempsey will be our only signing...... What's going on at all? Eds do u actually know if we will sign anyone else or r u guessing as usual

Jamie

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:18:53
Been told we have bid for jack butland is this true eds? Also where exactly are we at with damiao is there a possibility?

Signing Butland would make sense

Everton are in talks with birmingham as we speak.

ACHILLES.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:18:47
bid for dempsey rejected..any idea how much we bid? how late are we willing to leave this?!

 

 

31 aug 2012 19:18:03
edin dzeko on loan - as i alerted 3 weeks ago. great signing.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:17:45
Liverpool Dempsey bid rejected by Fulham! Sturridge move collapsed! Are we now short of strikers for the season?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:17:45
Sturridge on the bench for chelsea in monaco. Hard to see how a move to us will happen now. Come on Brendan suprise us all!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:17:42
Sturridge is in the squad for tonight´s Chelsea game - i take it that rules him out?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:16:56
sturridge on the bench 2nite and bid rejected from fulham 4 dempsey, both transfers sacked! nitemare!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:22:01
We have let Kuyt Carroll & Bellamy leave we must replace a striker ?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:21:30
Sturridge with Chelsea against Athletico Madrid!! So, can't be him coming to us...Am I right Eds?? {Ed052's Note - yes]

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:19:25
there is no chance of Damiao coming unless FSG have built a superfast jet to bring him over to JLA

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:11:38
Sturridge on bench for Chelsea tonight confirmed

Thank god, dont want the lad to be honest. Hope we can leave it alone now.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:11:21
Sturridge on the bench for Chelsea. I think that kills all the rumours. I don't usually worry when it comes to Liverpool, but if we don't bring in the right players before 11, this could be a horrendous season. But I'm sticking with BR till the end!

Cheers Eds.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:09:40
sturridge on chelsea bench, does that mean no deal there eds? {Ed052's Note - yes, I should think so}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:09:17
Sorry eds I thought sturridge was on the bench for Chelsea so how can it be done if he still playing for them {Ed052's Note - We dont think it will}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:08:58
Eds please can you update us...

Will dempsey sign?
Will sturridge sign

Others ' dameo' please will we get any nice surprises. I beg you with all my heart please speculate x

Mikey b {Ed052's Note - Dempsey should. Sturridge wont - he's playing (well bench)}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:08:37
i would personaly forget about dempsey and sturridge and go all out for Damiao!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:08:22
chelsea in talks with remy but sturidge on bench tonight strange if he,s gonna sign.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:04:17
Some of you peeps need to calm down it will be great if we do sign someone but if we don't I'm sure we have enough quality in our squad to do well this season. Sometimes things just don't work out
Huddz red
P.s big shout to the eds doing a great job today as always

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:04:04
Is this Gareth Rogers for the Echo talking b*******? He seems to think we've nabbed Llorente?!

Thanks.

Yes, He is simple as that
As nice as it would have been :(

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:04:02
Fulham reject Liverpools latest bid for Dempsey....got a horrible feeling we will end up with nothing today.

31 Aug 2012 19:06:11
Sturridge on the bench for chelsea tonight! Liverpool have bid rejected for Dempsey. might be a long night for us. although not ruling out some shocks. who knew about our last couple of signings?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:02:56
Dempsey and sturrige will sign in next couple of hrs

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:02:55
Fulham have REJECTED our Bid for Dempsey!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:02:36
american owners.
what the hell is going on they have no money to spend at all why did they buy the club if there not going to put in money to make our club once what it was??
there's the likes of southampton QPR and others buying players left right and centre what we doing mmmmmmmm NOTHING it's a joke . i hate to say this as i love the club but were no way the team that we used to be were a mid table team in my eyes. we need some mega rich arabs to come in and turn our club around FACT.

Well spoken and well said 110% agree.

Dempsey bid rejected, any ideas how much the bid was?

RedPJ

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:01:27
Just a bit of guess work but surely sturridge is a no go. He is on the bench in the game tonight so unless Concorde has been re commissioned, he wouldn't get to Liverpool in time.

M15rk

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:01:12
sturridge wont be signing due to travelling with the team to france. unless he pulls a rabbit out his hat he wont sgn in time. personally i was prefer walcott or damiao ect. ynwa keep the belief guys!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 19:01:10
I hope to God we do sign a decent finisher before the window shuts..........it doesn't matter how fancy the passing or the tactics if there is no end product its all for nothing,Don't get me wrong Suarez is a worldie but you can't see him scoring 25+ goals a season......and that is what we desperately need.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:59:44
Eds a quick question. Even if sturridge was on the bench for chelsea tonight, would this prevent a loan agreement already being made provisionally with a medical tomorrow? {Ed022's Note - It was my mistake.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:59:39
7pm approaching eds do you think, like me, that things are about to get a whole lot more interesting now? {Ed022's Note - Things will heat up around now.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:58:50
Sturridge on the bench for Chelsea tonight! Surely not moving then, is he?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:58:32
sturridge on bench for chelsea tonight in super cup so unlikely deal getting done. Thank god

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:58:09
liverpool sturridge deal lokks unlikely is on the bench in super cup

I think deals can be done and completed with the priviso that a medical goes okay.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:52:14
Many supporters r questioning the loan signings but the way I see it is that the owners and br r playing a blinder. Last year they bought carp! in all fairness in order to challenge for the top 4 but in signings such as sahin and sturridge on loans who wud cost us double figures if and wen we make the Cl ;) this season we will be able to make the top class loan signings permanent. Btw, allen and dempsey r top class players. Borini just needs time. As always have faith '

Melbourne'

I agree, let`s have a look at them first, we need to remember we are not a CL team at the moment but if BR can manage to get us there he will get money to strengthen further, we can`t just go spending loads of cash on players unproven in the PL, thats why sahin is a good loan deal, see how he adapts

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:51:43
I'm still certain there is contact with Matavz of PSV as i wrote yesterday but wasn't posted. Sturridge is on the bench for Chelsea in the supercup so i doubt he'll sign.

m

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:51:24
Hey ED's

How come Sahin is not in the squad for the arsenal game? ( according to teamtalk )

Good work

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:51:17
Ed 22 talks rubbishe. Sturridge on bench tonite {Ed063's Note - Its not his fault! He was coming and now hes not.}

Could this be because we chose to move for damiao? {Ed052's Note - We are not sure - we dont think so}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:51:16
Flew the Naples to Liverpool flight today.
Cavani was not on it.
Sorry to break a few hearts haha.

31 Aug 2012 18:50:53
Eds why are we trying to get Sturridge, he is unbelievably greedy and lazy in regards to his defending? I'm not expecting the worlds best but surely Sturridge is the wrong player for us.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:50:37
Sturridge named on the subs bench for Chelsea in tonights super cup

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:50:02
On Bologna website Ramirez to southampton

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:49:47
Hi eds
Ed022 said that Sturridge to us is done.
Any idea when it will be official?

Cheers
VGRed {Ed063's Note - Hes not coming anymore}

GET IN THERE!!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:49:22
Eds Am i right in thinking that the loan window closes in a week or 2 so we could still sign players on loan after 11 tonight? Or have i got that one completely wrong? {Ed063's Note - Not sure. I would suggest after 11 tonight thats it mate}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:53:22
whats going on with Clint Dempsey,? is liverpool going to be bought up on a FA charge? Liverpool Hoping to Sign Dempsey as Spurs Attempt to Hijack Deal. Liverpool & Fulham at odds over £5m down payment for Dempsey

Vila wanted him, but I think Fulham let him talk just to make the situation worst for liverpool. Tapping up charges must be serious issue for the club.

Liverpool and Tottenham were both handed tough-looking Italian jobs on Friday after being paired with Udinese and Lazio in the Europa League draw

Liverpool's Charlie Adam has joined Stoke City

Charlie Adams 60k
Spearing 30k
Andy Carroll 70k

Looks like we have enough wages to sign one more player. So Clint Dempsey in at the cost of Adams, spearing, Carroll. We are turning into a 11 man team. Whats going to happen when we get injuries.

Sahin and Allen cover Adams and Spearing and I guess they'll look to try and get a forward in before 11pm tonight.

Does that not work?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:53:16
I'm i right in saying the loan deals for Damio and Sturridge can be concluded later in the week as the window does not shut for loaning player till later in the month.
jayo {Ed022's Note - Loans are still available, but are more complicated.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:52:49
Hi Ed's,

How come Sturidge is on the bench for Chelsea?

LFC_7 {Ed022's Note - It was my mistake, we thought he wasn't.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:52:21
{Ed022's Note - Sorry everyone, we thought that Sturridge wasn't on the bench for the Chelsea game which meant he was on his way to Merseyside. I should have checked beforehand I do apologise. In other news I believe that the Dempsey fee is almost agreed.}

No p mate and you don't need to apologise

Kopite

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:48:58
Hi eds . Just another question . Do players have to go to Melwood to do a medical or can our doctor go to the club we are signing said player from and do a medical there ? just a thought as we are all waiting for players to turn up but the medical could be done elsewhere .

Cheers

Jamesy {Ed001's Note - medicals can be done anywhere and they don't have to be completed by Zaq Iqbal.}

I love the pictures with Penfold do the medicals!

Thanks ed001 for a quick response . So really we could have done medicals for new players yesterday for instance .

Cheers

Jamesy

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:46:47
god dammmmmmmmmn i just hate spuds n that sniffer dog levy.

any affordable deal going through n he is there to rubbish on it....really mean for him there is no wish list, whether the player is needed or not, it doesn't maters, any deal in the region 0 to 9 miln n that dog jumps in....

mayurr..

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:46:42
there will probably be no marquee but dempsey is nailed on, spurs bid or not, sturridge a possibility, walcott can't see it to be honest but relax, tune into lfctv later and wait.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:45:45
I will be pissed if the over rated almost 30 year old is the only one to come in! You said Damiao :( why eds? {Ed001's Note - I always said I didn't think it would happen, Dempsey and A N Other was always my thoughts.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:03:30
Hi Ed, Enjoy reading your site..

The Dempsey saga really is starting to heat up with Spurs now showing their card!
What do you think the chances are of securing both Dempsey & Walcott on permenents plus Sturridge on loan? Would be some strike force then!! {Ed022's Note - Not going to happen.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:03:25
Sly saying BR has left Melwood.

Redfella {Ed022's Note - And?}

Popped home for dinner, put his kids to bed, watch the Kat and Alfie saga and then pop back to smile for the cameras as we sign Dempsey and Makepeace!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:02:56
Rodgers has gone home. Looking bad {Ed022's Note - Rodgers doesn't need to be at the club to sign people.}

dempseys rap video is funny, i hope to god we sign him

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:01:01
I have to say that some of the posts that slag up FSG and Rodgers today have been way off the mark.

I believe that making this club great will be down to more than how much money we spend .Look at City are they bigger than us?........no and they never will be .The success that we have long term is linked to our club not just our team and that means balancing the books .

Why spend money we have not got only for our owners to cut and run like H&G.I would like to see Messi in a red shirt but as I am not high on crack I probably would not expect it.

FSG paid off our bad debts and are still bankrolling us to the tune of 100mil and guess what they have not taken any money out yet. Their aim is to make money by brand strength and that means success on the pitch .

Fans who post rubbish should look at Rangers , Pompey and soon QPR.

Money can get you a bunk up with an brass but it wont by you love .


Lastly to say some of the anti BR brigade are thick is an understatement .I loved rafa but do not want him back and wish BR luck.
I must say that those who use Harry Redknapps name are by far the thickest .Look at his record pre Tottenham .

West Ham started Prem league -ended relegated and in financial crisis

Southhampton -went down a number of divisions ended in financial crisis.(not all down to Harry but he did his bit)

Portsmouth years later are still about to be erased from history

Tottenham massive amounts spent good success but would guess cannot sustain the massive overspend unless they win something big or sell ooops sorry sell some more the exoudus has started.


I hope more haters will give BR a chance as guess what he is all we got!

Dempsey and Sturridge are the two signings.. Good window for us, I think.. Better than previous regime and much much much better than Hodgson era! YNWA

31 Aug 2012 18:44:33
Spurs r buying real quailty in lroris and moutinho who I think id a wonderful midfielder. Loris is a worldclass keeper and for 12m is a real coup and at 24 can only get better. Its a pity we wernt in for.lloris becase reina is 32 now, on huge wages as a goalkeeper and always questioning the club when he shud be concentrating on improving his game as he gives me no confirdence anymore and is wlways liable to a mistake that is costly in nearly every game

The anaylst

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:42:08
This Dempsey saga is getting beyond a joke!
We sold Adam before lunch so why didn't we do the deal with Fulham straight afterwards? This would have avoided the spuds getting involved yet again with one of our transfer targets.
Come on BR sort it WE NEED A STRIKER(s)!!

Dempsy to spurs. No more deals tonight for us.
Love the villa rumour but never gonna happen.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:35:21
Does anyone think that Dempsey might just be a smokescreen? I mean we've had nearly 3 months to sign him. Surely if he was our main priority we would have signed him weeks ago, if he only costs around 7-8m? {Ed022's Note - Smokescreen - oh how I love terminology.}

Its incompetence's on Liverpool part

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:34:07

Ed's you said ayre was seen with a Portuguese translator. It doesnt look like we are getting bastos or damiao so who else could it possibly be and do you think we will still sign more than one player.

John the baptist {Ed022's Note - I still believe 2 or more could sign. News will flood through very soon.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:31:58
Big loan signing to be revealed before 11pm. BR is crafty, has allowed us to talk all week about signing a new striker, knowing full well we dont have the funds! Carroll was always going to be loaned out as his potential out ways his poor start and he is a £35m investment AS IF we would sell him for £15m-£17m.

Nobody else will leave now. What we have for Adam wont be used to buy, will go into the pot I beleive. Now, that doesnt mean that we have nothing to get excited about, the loan signing will be a good one, beleive me!

Rodgers has gone to 'meet and greet' someone.

Think of it like that, take a breath and calm down.

31 Aug 2012 18:30:04
Rodgers has left Melwood. Sure that isn't us done? Still word of Dempsey to sign.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:29:12
Rodgers has left Melwood, wonder why!? Maybe going to meet someone, pick someone up, hospital for some medical or maybe just going home and not planning anything! Very odd one though!

His wife called to tell him dinner's ready, he'll be allowed back out to play once all is eaten

Red Raw

Gone home for his tea

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:28:51
Anyway, don't despair Reds fans. Brendan Rodgers has been seen leaving the club's Melwood training ground but that does not mean he is going home to watch Ice Road Truckers.

Before he left, Rodgers said: "The business people at the football club are looking to put deals in place. As a manager and a coach the earlier you can get it done the better. But I've always said if we can get the players we want in by the end of the window then I can be happy. There's still a bit of time left and a bit of work to do, and hopefully we can get things done."

Notice he says PLAYERS and THINGS... sounds like at least more than one they are working on then! Just get us a goal scorer or two and jobs done!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:28:19
People get real we r going to sign NO1 today!!

Sign ur name so I can take the Mick later! GED, I've signed mine.

A new keeper?
red sheep

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:26:55
I can see whats going to happen....
We muck about too long and get punished for it miss out to spurs again. Dont let spurs beat us on this one. How come spurs beat us to signings these days. Its all anti-climax i like exciting times stil hope therez a suprise but getting bit late now:(. Sturridge seems to be a no. So looks like dempsey and bennayoun although bbc say no. I believe he is on course to melwood. Crap signing again. He sd goalscorer although dempsey is that woukdnt say hes a centre forward.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:25:41
Oh my f**king days, it's agreed, he's on his way. It's gonna happen, Damiao is on his way to Liverpool for a medical to take place early hours of the morning. All paper work will be complete by 11pm makes it okay for medical after 11pm. Ince

I hope to god your right please please please be right

Sounds good bruv

''Chelsea's improved offer for Andre
Schürrle (Bayer Leverkusen) has either come in a few millions too low or a few weeks too late. Or both."

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:21:04
Spurs have made a bid for Dempsey only as back up for the Moutinho deal if that doesn't go through, but LFC still favs for Dempsey.

Am i right in thinking Eds that one of you said you know for a fact we are signing one player? Maybe i was reading it wrong earlier but thought i'd ask.
If you did say i presume that's Dempsey but who knows!

no one coming, cant get any loan targets and no money to buy.
BR not happy been stitched up.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:18:09
What's the story with Clint?

Thanks {Ed022's Note - Not sure at the moment, trying to find out.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:18:00
Eds, does the closing of the german transfer window (6pm) mean that schurrle to Chelsea is not happening? meaning that Sturridge is looking less likely

DanS {Ed022's Note - It means German teams can now not sign players, but they can still sell.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:17:47
Internacional have said no to Spurs after the offer from the North London club failed to meet the Brazilian's valuation of the player. On Tuesday, Inter vice president of football, Luciano Davi, said "Tottenham came after us. The offer did not reach the number that Inter think [he] is worth. Damio is a Brazil [national team] centreforward and we need to take this into account".
Even though the European transfer window is open until Friday, Davi was adamant that the striker would be staying at least for now. "Our intention is not to sell Damio this year. He is an Inter athlete until December [at least]. The bid that was made wasn't relevant and we are not interested in selling him", Davi added.
The exact figure of the bid was not revealed but it is believed to be around the £20 million mark.
Leandro Damio has a contract with Internacional until June 2016 with a buyout clause of around £39.5 million (50 million).

DEMPSEY will not be joinng spurs , i will leave my name.

31 Aug 2012 18:17:37
Not to fit a sterotype at all, but "calm down, calm down!" Everything will fall into place, I am sure...and all in time for the 4 hour special on LFCTV. In Brendan AND FSG we trust.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:17:19
{Ed022's Note - Hello people, just thought I'd let you all know that the Sturridge deal looks done to Liverpool. I believe it's permanent, but could be a loan also. Cheers.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:16:05
We have signed two playes (note two), but them Pressmen are still filing thier reports. Wait a bit longer and you will see. We have the money and many players want to come. Many agents are still bogging Rodger's phone right now but they should know he has made his choice on a select few. Now lay off the booze lads cos this is quite plausible

What's happening with joe cole?

Has a seat booked all season long

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:13:11
Spurs in for Dempsey? True Eds?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:13:03
Imo it looks like its getting a little late for Liverpool to get any players in.

By the time bids are made/accepted and medicals undertaken and only 5 hours left.

Looks like where going to be a striker short all season.

Dave

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:12:54
ed's have liverpool had a bid accepted for Dempsey and are Liverpool any closer to sturridge and do u think both deals will happen? thanks

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:12:45
i have seen BRs press conference today
he said he wouldn`t speak about every player linked out of respect for their clubs and the players
this immediately after he spoke about enquiring about sturridge
is it just me or do you think he just has no respect for chelsea !!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:12:42
I know there's time left, but considering we spent all of last season desperate for a goal scorer, to be here on August 31st and still no striker is inexcusable!! It should have been the No 1 priority and sorted much earlier in the window!

Very unprofessional !!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:11:37
Hi Eds and fellow Reds

this may be very wishful thinking but bear with me...

LFC TV on from 7pm until the end of the transfer window so I would expect any official news on transfers to be released during this time...so it's possible that transfers have been completed or agreed but just being withheld...

Damiao was quickly linked to us with specific details being reported by not just Reds websites but mainstream...now everything has gone quiet...however so far no reports of the transfer having failed...

we have the number 9 jersey available now and I believe that Rodgers and the club intend to bring in a big name to wear this jersey...

could it be that the transfer for Damiao is done?

Cheers All...may it be a fantastic day for us...

Please please please god let this deal be sorted!!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:11:28
Not lfc related but thought I'd share apparently Bellamy has left Cardiff and retired....off field problems cited

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:10:43
Hi eds . Do you still think there could be a shock transfer or do you think it's just dempsey now ?

Cheers

Jamesy {Ed063's Note - Not sure - Rodgers is crafty so you never know}

How is rogers crafty?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:10:18
charlie adam leaves ofr 4 million,

fulham will clearly accept 7 million as they agreed with villa,

are we seriously short of 3 million pounds to not be able to agree a fee with fulham considering charlie left this morning, so been over 6 hours since adams move was confirmed, really not looking good to see so much time between the adam deal happen and the No deals that haven't happend since with now 5 hours left,

pathetic

Deals always happen late with liverpool like suarez and carroll

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:09:52
EDS surely if we are going to sign sturrigde then he will not play any part in the game tonight? as in not even on the bench

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:08:50
hi eds.seems the spuds are once agin hyjacking our targets {dempsey} say it wont happen again {Ed063's Note - I dont know - it is up to Dempsey where he goes}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:07:55
Ed, isn't there a show on LFCTV tonight counting down to the deadline? Could the club be hold back until then to do any of the deals? {Ed063's Note - Perhaps}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:07:20
So Brendan Rodger has left Melwood, do you no why eds?

It's his turn to get in the coffees from Costa Coffee. Could be a long night.

His wife called and said tea was ready ;-)

31 Aug 2012 18:07:19
Us liverpool fans need to get some perspective I'm afraid. Dempsey may sign but the wage bill is so tight no one else will sign on a permanent basis.

The wages freeed up by Adam going are for dempsey basically, br has said plenty of times he needs to sell first but not one on significant wages (thinks of joe cole) will go.

Expect a loan signing to take carroll wages for the year.

Not so sure the wage bill will be as tight as you think now,

the likes of kuyt, maxi, aquilani, aurelio, adam, carroll, bellamy, would have all been on stupid wages, they have all left, they are ALL off the wage bill including carroll, 4 new players have come in, 1 on loan paying half his wage, and the other 3 are very young players so all will not be on anywhere near any of the above mentioned names wages so your wrong to be fair mate, the wage bill will be looking far better,

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:07:08
Guys I know its getting close to the end of the window but chill out a little....at least till say 21.00....should be some action by then imo

K.Bennett

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:06:33
looks like there will be no signings for liverpool, BR has just gone home, i cannot understand how we are meant to do anything in the league when we have a skeleton squad, why let players go with no replacements. could this be a vital mistake by BR.

scott derby

Did you miss the game against city?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:06:13
Are spurs rivalling us for Dempsey? Or you still confident he will be a red?

Mighty reds {Ed063's Note - They are - it is now his personal preference as to where he ends up}

I would have thought agreeing a fee is more important than the players prefernce to start with and as spurs clearly aren't shy with their money they will no doubt pay whatever fulham want,

a fee clearly hasn't been agreed by us or it would be the best kept secret on earth right now with everyone who's anyone will get their hands on the latest info !

becoming ridiculous considering this was the player that was reckoned to be joining up with the squad on the tour of america ! hope he know's he's missed his flight !

Unbelievable!! This should NEVER have happened! Too slow! Complete incompetence!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:06:02
LB - nope.
GK - nope.
CM - nope.
Walcott - nope.
Huntelaar - nope.
Benayoun - nope.
Sturridge - potential loan.
Dempsey - we still haven't bid. Expect a v late transfer but possibly elsewhere, e.g. Spurs.

If Dempsey and Sturridge don't happen we will likely end up making a 'panic' buy for a forward, any forward, although 1 or both is still most likely.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:05:25
15:30 JUST IN: Brazilian press are reporting that Liverpool have decide to proceed with the signing of Damiao for a 5m loan fee & 15m option to buy

Is this true

 

 

31 Aug 2012 18:04:43
I remember last season(near the start) when we were playing chavski and sturridge was coming off the bench and i thought oh sh*t we're screwed now.
Well i was just thinking. Do u think rodgers can find that form that he had that made me worry?
Because lets be fair by the end of the season i wouldnt of given him a game for tranmere rovers.

Liverpool to lose out on Dempsey to tottenham.
Sturridge to sign on seaon long loan.
Despite what wenger says Liverpool will still persuit walcott.
If bid for Theo fails expect Liverpool to secure damiao.
BigMan

Sturridge wont sign {Ed022's Note - Sturridge is about to sign, sorry babe.}

How can Liverpool secure a deal for Damiao when there is no time for him to get to Melwood let alone after Wenger consults his magic 8 ball to see if he should sell or not?

''Please some one help me, help me please....'' {Ed019's Note - Get paperwork through subject to a medical}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:59:34
that Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have both lodged deadline day bids for Clint Dempsey.

BigD

We either want Dempsey or not. Pay the money and stop dicking about, we'll have no strikers at this rate! Getting nervous!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:59:19
Oh my. I've never been more "Come onnn!!" in my life.

Begging for us to get a wriggle on. It's not as if someone could of sneaked into Melwood either, with the press right outside.

I personally would like to see Dempsey in, along with another striker that ISN'T Daniel Sturridge. Spends too much time looking at socks.

Redfella.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:59:14
Sky saying Spurs in for Dempsey!! Seriously??

If Liverpool mess this transfer up, someone wants shooting!! Always last minute!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:58:50
liverpool have finally lodged a bid for dempsey, no idea how much or if its been accepted, have the eds heard anything?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:58:39
I guess we will have to recall our loan signings back already

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:57:56
fresh news.babel back at ajax amsterdam.not much better than downing but he made a few goals.
why we are keeping downing is a mistery to me if there was a player last season that was rubbish it was him.

He looked alright at left back

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:57:28
hi eds ,
just wondering, ive been watching a website these past few days and it seems as if they have not a clue of whats happening with incoming transfers as sly sports have not clue of any incoming deals.
much appreciated.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:56:12
ED is it safe to say Agger is staying?
Thanks
Campbell {Ed019's Note - Think so, you never know}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:48:52
Hi Eds i no you guys are busy with all the questions, do you reckon dempsey, sturridge on loan, and possibly Ramirez or Lorrente could happen? i no we are struggerlin with money but we have sold adam 4 mil, aquailani 5mil kuyt 1 mil so really we have only spent 23million. This would end a top transfer window for us thanks

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:48:45
Ed's are we linked to any defenders? {Ed019's Note - No}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:48:41
The way we are going about our business makes it look like Liverpool got cheap uneducated businessmen running it (not talking about FSG).

We seriously need to get some people in that knows how to get business done early. ian ayre can only do soo much, the guy must be on american time still because the clock here in england is ticking away and we haven't made a single bid for Dempsey (our likeliest signing) let alone a Striker replacement for AC.

Ian Ayre maybe trying his best, but i think we need someone who's better than Ian Ayre negotiating with players and clubs.

He should go back doing his role in LFC that he used to facilitate. Just my opinion, not knocking him, just think there is better negotiators around.

And you Education to have such a opinion

French football expert Matt Spiro with the latest from Ligue 1: "Lyon have turned down Fulham's request to sign Michel Bastos on loan, according to several reports in France. The Ligue 1 club are only prepared to let the Brazilian winger go in a permanent deal and are understood to want at least £7m for him."

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:48:18
Traffic on LFC page when I typed in Clint Dempsey. Does it mean hes basicly signed?

That happens when you search any players name. i just searched steven gerrard and got the same message, must mean he's on his way out

No it means every other liverpool fan is doing the same thing as you and he website cant handle it. Clutching at straws!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:47:04
looks like Spurs have also trying to steal Dempsey from us after stealing Siggy!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:46:27
Can people stop waiting for information to be revealed on SSN then pretending their 'source' told them. Nobody believes you, stop wasting your energy posting regurgitated info...you just look like a t*t when you do!

NB Red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:54:43
Even if Dempsey arrives, why let Carroll go? One injury to Suarez then we are in the dog mess.

I don't think Sturridge is good enough to lead the line on his lonesome. I hope we have an ace up the sleeve.

A Villa here or a Fernando there with his head under a towel running out of a black audi then into Melwood would just about ease any fear i have. Nerves are jingling lads.

5 hours left....

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:53:56
Dempsey nearly a done deal. Waiting on Chelsea signing a striker to allow Sturridge to leave. Negotiating with Michel Bastos after he turned down Fulham...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:53:34
Ed's how many players do you think will join now? only looks like Dempsey {Ed019's Note - 45}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:52:45
If we sign Dempsey & Walcott, this will be the best transfer window deadline day ever. I think these are realistic, the big man from spain would surely not like the weather in the NW of England.

31 Aug 2012 17:49:13
According to swedish papers both Tottenham and LFC made a bid for Dempsey. Theyr a waiting a biding war, i hope Clint stays the same and refuses to sign elsewhere.

With Chelsea failing to bring a Striker in Sturridge is unlikely Dempsey will happen and that will probably be it...........But who knows

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:44:49
i said earlier that liverpool will sign 3 players today,

1. Dempsey, almost complete.
2. Sturridge, once remy signs for chelsea.
3. will be ...........

31 Aug 2012 17:44:44
So our current squad looks something like this:

GK: Reina, Doni
RB: Johnson, Kelly, Flanagan
CB: Skrtel, Agger, Coates, Carragher, Wilson
LB: Enrique, Robinson
CM: Sahin, Allen, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson Shelvey
RW: Sterling, Cole
ST: Suarez, Bornini, Morgan
LW: Assaidi, Downing

Now to me, that looks like one of the weakest squad (regarding squad depth) I have seen in the past few years. The planning for this transfer window has been pretty woeful too be honest, it seems like we've sold, sold, sold without actually looking at how many regular first team players we have for each position. We are now in the final day of the window and it seems like we need atleast: another striker (goalscorer); a right winger as we can't solely rely on Sterling (17 year old) to be our only natural one and keep sticking Borini on the wing; and a versatile attackig player who can play anywhere along the front three or even drop to midfield, most likely dempsey. If we dont manage to do this, then if we are hit with injuires to main players or certain signings dont perform well, then our team will look very weak. Seriously know, FSG need to act or we will suffer.
Personally i'd like: Dempsey for around 7m, Affelay on a cheap (i've seen the price of 3-4m floated around), and then maybe Damiao on loan (mentioned today) or the owners to splash on Llorente with the assurance they will recoup next year with the agreed Carroll sale price.
P.S. Although I did include a squad at the start, Ed's could you please post in Banter!

31 Aug 2012 17:44:00
Berbatov would have been great for liverpool would have solved goal scoring issues

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:43:28
saurez, dempsey, borini, walcott/sturridge will be our 4 1st team strikers,with morgan and maybe yesil for less important games.
although i can think of better players to bring in i actually am quite happy with this transfer window if we have limited funds.
i think the team is playing well apart from the individual mistakes and i see BR's ideas in matches, we have possession,movement, pace, the passing is getting better, after just TWO matches i can see the team gelling together, a fully gelled team may take 10 games or so.
Overall happy with BR so far just wish he had more funds but pretty optimistic we will push for top 4.

IBIMO

LFC also need the fans to get back into top 4, so please stop with the moaning and groaning get behind our club regardless of who the owners manager or players are, you are not supporting individuals you are supporting lfc.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:42:44

Hope Dalglish is chuffed with himself at the ruination he's visited upon this club cos I sure aint. I could smash his overpriced 3rd rate, floppy testicles right now.
Same goes for that little thick rubbishhead Spearing.
Brendan has a monumental task on his hands cleaning the 'King's' mess.

I don't blame FSG even for one second. They provided the funds but were failed by an appalling inept and daft bunch in Comoli and Dalglish. We were failed. And now we hamstrung for cash.

NO WAY we gonna top 4. We'd be lucky to get top 8. And none of it will be Rodger's fault.
His task was made already daunting even b4 taking the job.
Spuds are now way too strong should be favs for the last CL spot.

70 million Carrol, Hendersenh Adam and Downing? Giving Spearing new deal? Smh.
It makes me so, so angry.
It's so unfair that Brendan be the one to suffer the consequences.
For what he is deprived in money I hope he's given the time to see throught his work.

Too many people crying about this, that and the other. "Kenny's ruined us". "It's depressing" "We're too slow". "Battling out for 8th" SHUT UP YOU LITTLE GIRLS!

Lets look at it this way. Joe Allen is class. Sterling is class. Sahin is class. Shelvey is looking good when given the chance, as is Coates. We already have Reina, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Johnson, Gerrard, Lucas (although injured) Suarez. All good players that other clubs would love to have, as well as Downing, Borrini, Henderson etc and the prospect of Dempsey and Sturridge. Whats the problem?

We are not Real Madrid, PSG, Chelsea or city with sugar daddy's, so why expect the big marquee signings? One massive thing still going going for us is that we're still Liverpool foorball club. After the horror show that we witnessed while Hicks and Gillette were in charge, we should be thankful that we're rebuilding our hopes and optimism with a young squad and manager. In my view there is a good deal to look forward to.

We're not a million miles off, and after today we'll be a bit closer. Bit more consistancy and ruthlesness infront of goal and I'm confident we'll be right up there. Some of you need to change your tampax and start being less negative.

Scott78

Lol ya gig girl

It's a pity I could only agree with this once. Spot on

AD

Good positive post - until you mentioned Reina of course.

Shut up you big girl.

Good shout mate, however i would like to see a nasty rough sort of player to give us a bit of aggresion when we have to play away midweek against teams who want to bully us into a result

We need an out n out goalscorer..cumon be realistic,or there be no forth spot.dont care if he marqee or not,as long as he in the box bangin them in,then i b happy,even tho i happy with signings we made,but a it of me thinks if we dont get one,no 4th,and br is outa job..look at kk last year,cups but no 4th and out the door.

Totally agree mate I think the people slagging you up obviously had mums that smoked all the way through the pregnancy............

We are getting Dempsey definate as he don't want to go anywhere else and yossi going to west ham so no worries there but the facts are there for all to see we are not a rich club anymore we havent got any more money and no one else will be comming we have just got to hope all our players gel like we did against man city and get back in the champions league then we can compete again with the big transfers but at the moment we have to roll up our sleeves and come out fighting and thank our lucky stars we are not like Glasgow Rangers -SALLY-

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:33:39
Is it time to get worried yet? We will struggle to get in the top 10 if we have to survive till January with an unproven stirker and a forward who needs four chances for every goal. We don't need just one striker we need two. {Ed063's Note - Not yet}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:33:36
Are we still talking to Diamao? Seems to have all gone a bit hush hush around the club...

Hope BR knows what he is doing letting players leave before getting replacements in, 6 hours left and no closer to boosting the squad hardly fills the fans with hope for the future!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:33:19
Anyone else blame Kenny Dalglish for the state of the club now? No money, Missing out on so many top players, Kenny was an absolute fool with the money and FSG were fools to back him, We are doomed. Yossi coming back? We are a laughing stock yet again. Graham {Ed063's Note - So you're going to disregard all the good things that Kenny did? Like save our season when Hodgson got sacked?}

Well said Ed. Plus, Coates Hendo, Enrique and Carroll were all good signings for the long term. Not Kenny's fault he wasn't the system was changed and Carroll no longer fitted in.

Kenny foooked up glad hes gone

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:33:11
No big name forward then , no chance of top 4 now and can't work why we have let ac go if we had no one lined up

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:31:26
got to admit i'm starting to rubbish myself now, hope we bring in dempsey you can tell he really wants to join... and hope we sign a striker too preferably damiao but i would take sturridge or wallcot

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:31:21
Any thing new on damiao? Or shall we put it down as a miss?

Cheers

It's a miss

Maybe u hitting woodwork.

If we can get Clint Dempsey & Daniel Sturridge in with the players we've already signed I will be a very happy chap!

I do have my reservations regarding Sturridge's mentality, however there is absolutely no doubting his ability, and I am sure Rodgers can get inside that head of his and clean it out! :)

Stone YNWA.

Totally agree :))

i hope gaston ramirez joins southampton and then everyone boos him when he plays at anfield despite the fact that we had no interest in the player {Ed063's Note - erm, why?}

Get a grip mate, we should all boo you.

davethebutcher

I have seen some pathetic posts today but this one is just unbelievable, why on earth did you bother

Like when Liverpool 'clapped' Mata off(Friendly), even though he decided to join Chelsea?

Thats a ridiculas thing to come out with.why would u boo a player who went to a club that wanted him.did u get your bag ready for school on monday

Booooooo this guy.

I have no idea if we're in for Sturridge or whether he'll come or not, but frankly I thought he was pretty good when on loan at Bolton (8 goals in 12 games is not shabby).

At Chelsea, he's been far from stellar, but I think this may be because he's simply trying too hard to make a positive impression and stay in the first 11. Very similar to I think Johnson's problem at ManCity- they're both trying overly hard to impress and therefore come out looking like greedy knobheads. Under the right manager and knowing that he's likely first choice striker as he was at Bolton, I think he could well do a very decent job for us, particularly if he's on a loan to buy deal.

Just my opinion, know most of you seem to disagree.

RDL

There is no doubt he knows where the goal is. I am surprised in our interest because Rodgers likes hard workers, he doesnt come across as that to me! But we need a finisher and he can do that!

Just sent a 7 seater cab to JL airport, picking up Llorente, Walcott, Sturridge, Dempsey, Damieo, Bastos and Huntelaar.

My question is, will FSG pick up the fare or does BR have to sell first? (Driver expects a tip too)

The driver was signed on a single trip loan deal. The taxi company will continue to pay 100% of his wages. LFC will pay a £37 loan fee. Watch this space!

I assume it was a Chevrolet.

I'd be ecstatic with Damiao, Walcott and Dempsey

How unfair..of course they would want u to loan them the fare for now and next summer they will pay u back if we get top 4..
for the driver u can send joe cole so he can get some tip bcoz 90kpw sitting on the doctor's table is not enough..

Haha, brilliant.

That would require an 8 seater I believe, or is Walcott taking the wheel?

No FSG has new high profile cab service...

Was Yossi the driver? LOL

Ed this is what I found in google about our owners
Tom Werner, We have the money to compete with any team in the world
This piece was on the E Forum.

Mr Werner in all due respects Sir talk is very cheap. You need to back that up, because there is absolutely no way you can compete with the likes of City, Barca, Real M, PSG, or even Man U.

Do you really expect us to believe that you can compete with them in the transfer market for real top class players.

I think you owe us some proof of that statement, because talk is cheap, and we aren't exactly bringing in anyone of note are we?

I should also like to add after the comments you made towards the end of the season about your feelings for the previous manager, that is even more reason not to believe many of your so called Grand Pronouncements.

He didn't say 'money' he said 'resources'. Different thing entirely!

Might come as a shock to some of our more deluded fans - there is a chance we might not have the ability to attract the top players anymore. Even if we have the money to pay for transfers and wages.

John B

Sorry mate better off with FSG than H&G unless you got a mate with 700 mil to spare?

They paid 35 million for Andy Carroll, shows they can spend the money if they wanted too

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:20:46
Swansea sign one time target Henandez of Valencia for £5.5 million.

We could end up doing a lot worse than that signing. He's a very good player. Well done Swansea.

He wants to play for swans..its not that he prefer swans before going to other big clubs..simple as that

The Down side he has to go and live in Swansea!!

Ed's what are the chances of Dempsey?
After hearing what rogers has said I'm worried we won't see anyone!
5hrs42min left in the transfer window!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:18:47
I find it hard to believe we have no money. I bet there is money there, just keeping it quiet. We have cut down our wage bill so much, which is what FSG wanted. I can see Damiao coming in tonight. Also with the time difference, its only 11am in Brazil now, it is still early relatively.
Daveevad

Not when the window closes 11pm GMT

There is less than 6 hours left, unless a dispensation is requested due to a hold up like Spurs had with Van Der Vaart a few years back.

If he's not in the air already, i'll doubt highly he'd be able to sign, if we are in fact even going for him. I've only seen it in one Brazilian paper and i'd not say it's 'gospel'.

I hope you're right mate...

Must be at least a 12 hour flight tho?

Ya I know it's 11 gmt but is he going to start negotiating at 3am in brazil which is 10am in England. Maybe he would I guess, I'm just saying its still early in the day in brazil. It looks like if its going to happen, it would in the last 10 mins o the window.

Chelsea trying to buy Loic Remy. Not now after schurle (spelling). This will push through Sturridge deal. I'm still confident of Dempsey signing. Lee YNWA

Chelsea messing us about, Torres is #1 and Sturridge is the back up.

They want either Hulk or Falcao in January. From what i'm understanding.

Eds - Any chance we can recall Carroll?

Seeing as FSG don't/won't spend any money and after a whole summer window still haven't bought £7mil Dempsey we're gonna be short up front.

BR said the squad was too small, before we had to sell Spearing (Lucas cover) Adam (midfield cover) Carroll (only target man)

Is Yossi loan the only deal to happen today or can we recall AC?

Why would we recall carroll. we have youth that are much better

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:17:17
hope we don`t leave dempsey in the lurch, he has gone out of his way to get this move, if it doesn`t happen it will be a very uncertain season for him,
we should just go and get him now to save him and us from embarrassment

Bloody hell people get hysterical on deadline day. Worst comes to the worst we get through the season with Suarez/Borini up front and Sterling/Assaidi/Downing/Cole wide. That's a worst case scenario, and we're still likely to bring in one or two. People need to chill out.

Finally someone speaking some sense !!

Preach

In BR we trust !

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:15:54
BR going for Sturridge if it doesnt get him he will take Owen on a pay as you play.
Will not make the fans happy but believe me this is why Owen is hanging on,if Sturridge comes Owen will join Everton or Stoke.
Hard to swallow but fact.
Benayoun a real possibility,once again hard to swallow but fact.

Is there not a limit of how many players u can take off 1 team.i could be wrong but i taught u could only loan 1 player off a team,so surely if we get yossi thats the end of us and sturridge

31 Aug 2012 17:15:16
Dear Eds...


Is it time to start panicing and shouting cries of "They dont know what they're doing" or can we still expect at least 2 new players before the end of the window?

Liverbob


p.s If they have got rid of Andy without a decent back up I am sure the fans will turn on the Rogers regime very very quickly.. shame but true!

I don't think they will. I believe totally in what BR is doing (even with my reservations about taking risks at the back, long before Skrtel made that mistake) and while he can become a great player Andy Carroll, frankly, just does not fit.

There are fans who, in their way, will have decided to eventually go against BR already, because of what he's trying to do with the team. Only they would look at this window and think it a failure.

Not sure I agree with you there re: Andy carroll not fitting. If BR could get Danny Graham to fit in at Swansea he should be well able to do the same with AC, a far better player.

I feel its more about freeing up wages to pay others. Because of this I would be very shocked if a replacement is not brought in tonight.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:15:07
Why is everybody all of a sudden blaming FSG for our lack of signings?

It's got nothing to do with FSG - may be hard to believe but some players don't want to come to Liverpool - shocking thought, but true, we haven't got the attraction to players we used to have.
How do you know FSG haven't said to BR go and get who you want, have you thought it might be BR only wanting certain types of players - which perish the thought might not be available, or don't want play for Liverpool.

MR EM {Ed019's Note - YES THANK YOU}

Post take a few minutes to upload. When people post, there is nothing written on the subject of their post yet. The solution is people not posting anything, incase somebody else posts the same thing. Is that what you want?
Daveevad

Actually to be fair to people the problem often is that people see the rumour at same time and post at roughly the same time, and then when the posts are put on this site, there are suddenly 20 things saying the same thing

31 Aug 2012 17:04:27
It is no wonder the owners have not splashed the cash after the absolute sh*te we bought the last time they funded big signings. Get off the owners backs support the manager and realise it's because of Damien Comolli and Daglish that we are in the position we are now. Stop being blind fans and use the brains in your heads spending big does not always bring you top quality players just look at Downing £20 million, Carroll £35 million, Hendo £20 million (he might come good but £20 mil was way to much) and Aquaman £20 million (About as useful as Aquaman is as a super hero).

Trust BR he is building a squad not just buying individuals let him work, support the team and give them a chance and again get off the owners backs, has everyone forgot they saved us from doing a Rangers? We were a day away from that happening to us show a little more respect.

Besides I have a sneaky feeling everyone will be happy come 11 tonight.

True Supporter! (please post to rumours eds because some fans need a reality check or they could do us all a favour and P*ss off back to footy manager)

Quite right

Mate you need reality check coz last year kenny spent reason was we sold our assets and net spend was 30/35M this year is same 30M spent reality is if you find little bit of our owners they are not wealthy compare to others rivals owners and its really hurting us badly coz club like liverpool need to compete in highest level especially with our Global brand an sponsors money. You even need to understand we get money from sponsors that some teams can only dream including chelsea`s and Arsenal thanks

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:03:39
been at work all day and seen everyone ele having a bit of a moan so now i'm home i can have my own moan now, lol,

cannot believe there is still NO transfer activity, you can say what you like about whats happening 'behind the scenes' but there are reporters everywhere today, especially at liverpool after carroll left,

what is going on, why nothing, no fee's agreed, no loans done, nothing? talk about cutting it fine, yesterday rodgers said the squad is small and needs some help and in the last 24 hours we've got rid of another 3 squad players,

so....so far, 7 full squad players
kuyt, maxi, aurelio, bellamy, carroll, spearing, adam out,
4 in, come on reds, please !! this season will be a disaster if no one comes in !

don't see how sturridge can come in when the kids in france in the chelsea squad !

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:04:53
6 hours to go until the dropper shuts on signing players.

Anyone know if Damiao is in the air or not?

I believe damiao is on a flight to liverpool so technically he is in the air.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:04:36
Hi eds!

Do you think we are interested in Damiao?
Your thoughts everybody!

Aneesh Liverpool {Ed063's Note - We are}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:03:27
the way i see it is we expect a few signings not 2, about a week ago br said they had not even replaced the earlier outgoings of the summer, and he suggested we had a small squad b4 they left, have faith albeit most will be loans, and why not lets c if they are up 4 it b4 paying 4 them

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:03:15
eds is there any truth in that fulham are looking to bring in michel bastos before they will begin serious negotiations with liverpool over dempsey and are liverpool in for bastos as well?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:03:02
hi eds, are u confident that we will sign at least 2 players, including dempsey? any ideas on the other one, if not sturridge, would it be a surprise signing? {Ed063's Note - Confident on Dempsey.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:02:44
Sorry if this has been explained ed in on my phone and there is no search function can you please explain the Carroll loan? Did they have a fee for the loan? {Ed063's Note - Yes 1 or 2 mil fee for the loan and 17 mil to make it permanent}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:08:05
Hey Ed's seems like we're cutting it really fine, it's ok if you can't reply but how realistic are these targets now as the clock ticks, especially curious with damiao, last I checked the Brazilian media said we were Going to press on with a loan fee of 5 million euros and a signing fee of 15 million euros after the initial loan. Also since we're utilizing loans where is the Carroll loan fee and Adam money going? Would really appreciate a response.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:07:23
hey guys

im outside the training ground hanging around all night basically with some friends

and alot of whispers here are saying.................they r trying but they dont think any signings will happen at this time.

fred berry!

Nerves mate, i'm sure we'll pop a few new faces out to the press.

LFC goes live at 19:00 until 11:00 so i imagine it's going to be between then we do are business, on our own TV channel.

Maybe i'm still deluded?

I think youare bang on, 7pm onwards and i reckon we might be in for a surprise, damiao might actually be signed(loan to buy) along with sturridge and dempsey

Please, what is it with slating FSG and BR over made up stupid journalist rumours and tweets!
Why do people feel they need to tell FSG to get a grip or say that BR does not know what he's doing just because of some stupid rumour like Yossi Benayoun is coming back.
FFS, haven't recent transfers shown us that very VERY few people know who LFC's targets are.
Let's judge FSG and BR after the window shuts at the very least or better still give them a few months to see how good or bad their transfer activity has been this year.
One minute people are saying that if we sign Leandro Damiao then he and all our Other signings this summer will have been brilliant and such a great improvement. Next minute when it looks like he may not be joining us, then our Other signings are just piss poor.
Let's keep calm and keep together and never walk alone.
PS Ed's: - Great job and great site, thanks and keep up the good work. Time for Valium and Red Bull to cheer me up and keep me down at the same time! I don't know how you guys cope!

Irish Red Dog

We need an out n out goal scorer thats why!

Spot on mate!

Marc

Irish red dog mate its not about slating its about opinion mate. For me when kenny was our manager. We all knew we needed a striker who can score 20+ goals but Rodgers ignored to fix it and bought young player with pontential rather then proven now it can really coast us very badly and it will add extra pressure on borini mate. In other words our season is finished before even started without proven striker mate and that's the FACT

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:06:45
BBC Sport's Mandeep Sanghera: "Chelsea have been linked with Bayer Leverkusen forward Andre Schurrle but the Bundesliga club insist the German international is staying with them and no negotiations are taking place."

May affect any possible Sturridge deal.

Chelsea going for Remy instead

 

 

31 Aug 2012 17:06:22
hi edds
when are we likely to find out
if we are signing anyone

dempsey. walcott sturiage or anyone else

cos we not heard anything yet

Daniel Pacheco reporting that he is NOT going to Millwall, but that he will let people know where he is going later today.

Thats it then, hes definitely going somewhere !

I wish him well and hope its a loan deal, hes still young and full of class

Tel 1949

Lets move on from Pacheco. If he was any good, why would 4 successive LFC managers plus 2 loan clubs not want to give him a chance?

Its only fans who seem to rate him. Never professional coaches.

I just hope we can get Suso on a new contract.

Red G

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:59:28
I dont believe we will sign anyone apart from possibly dempsey. Chelsea wont sell Sturridge unless they sign Schurrle (who bayer say is not for sale).
We can't afford wages for damiao and Llorente wants champions league. As for Muller, who ever posted that rumour needs to go and sit in a room with people and admit they have a drug problem.
Still I believe Brendan has done well to reduce the wage bill and that in future we can be more active in the market.

ynwa

I can't help but agree in part with your comment. The only thing is Arsenal have lost a lot of players, and Tottenham have lost their play maker.

I think FSG should have seen this as the time to strike the red hot iron, but it seems they don't want Champions League that way.

Chelsea going for Remy

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:59:05
Ok.I think it's now obvious we are really struggling to sign anyone today. Only six hours to go? Not looking brilliant just now. Hope above all hopes I'm wrong.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:59:05
i have it on good ground that beniyoun will not join lfc. thank god for that lol

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:59:01
Joe Allen, Nuri Sahin, Fabio Borini, three excellent signings, but still people think BR is doing nothing. Get a grip, if we have no money to spend it's the last regime's fault not his. If no more signings are made (something more and more people are coming to terms with in their own way) we have still had one of our most successful transfer windows in years

I couldnt agree more with this post! well put!... would love to see how brendan would have spend 100m.... those 3 signings alone are quality in my opinion , and im sure assaidi will slot in as well!

31 Aug 2012 16:24:52
nearly 30 year old dempsey is not the answer to our problem,we need a finisher in the box.
we bought borini and allen and sahin on loan.
thats not enough to remedy last years 8th place in the league.
last night and every match i am so nervous that we wont win and the answer is very clear to me now.
i should be honest we are not good enough and besides allen we did not bring in 1 player to help the quality we already had.
dempsey will cost 6/8 mil why the hell is nobody buying him?
we bought borini from the itailian league juve milan inter didnt show any interest.there is your answer.
our problem in the past was that we never had quality reserves,but we had a great first 11.
and all this nonsense that FSG saved us is nonsense they bought us 200mil to cheap,and gave KK money.
how much money after torres 50mil babel 8.5mil meirelles 13mil and 4 weeks before they bought us marcherano 25mil.
they over spend and i agree,but when you buy a villa that has not been painted for 3 years it will cost money.
new ground on do anfield up?they cant seem to make up there mind.
i tell you why because they dont want to spend there own money they want liverpool fc to pay it.
they will take there time and when we after years have a decent team they will sell the naming right and start there plan.
moores could have done that 10 years ago but he cashed in and i believe he regrets it.
i am sorry to say but we are liverpool football club one of the top top clubs in the world but ending 8th should have made these owners spend.
and anyone who says barca(tika taka dont spend have no idea abt football)they have spend more than 400mil us dollars the last 5 seasons.
do your homework and you will see that i am correct.
last season we could score and what did we do we bought 3 midfielders.
lets start making sence.
lfc forever forever

You are talking utter rubbish

No rubbish at all,time will show that i am correct.these owners want liverpool to grow of the field and on and that will generate money,so liverpool can pay off the loan on the ground or new stadium.after that they will sell us for ??.they have all the time in the world.
if dempsey is the best we can get we are in trouble.
villa want him too there is your answer.
they have the money to bring us into the top 4 this season plenty of talent out there you just need to spend.

No idea whether it is perm or loan...

Loan however most likely...

31 Aug 2012 16:57:23
I think Sturridge will arrive. Chelsea are at this moment striking a deal with Marseille for Loic Remy (around £16m). Also, the Echo says Yossi rumours are "wide of the mark". Calm down guys and give us a chance.

Thanks for all your work Eds, I'm hooked.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:57:23
Have a fairly decent source here,just been informed liverpool have returned another bid of 21 million for dortmund striker lewandowski after having a 17.8 million bid turned down earlier today.Player is also apparently keen on the move also so if clubs can agree fee then he will sign.I also believe we will sign dempsey for around 7 million.

I just heard FSG have pulled the plug on any permanent signings. Rodgers wanted Dempsey and Walcott. Focus now mainly on Daniel Sturridge on loan and/or Yossi Benayoun.

Thanks for the update Mr Henry

If true which id very unlikely, they gotta be the dumbest people alive.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:56:14
James Pearce from Liverpool Echo reporting 25 mins ago that there is no chance of Benayoun coming back.

Hes normally very reliable reporter

Tel 1949

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:56:06
I wish people would stop moaning, who cares if we want benayoun on loan. To have as back up really isn't that bad. Lets just wait and see. If we dont get anyone after 11 then moan but there is still time

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:56:04
Chelsea to sign Loic Remy from Marseille £15.8m which could free up Sturridge for Liverpool?? have you heard anything ed's just seen the Remy rumour on BBC?? {Ed019's Note - If Chelsea get ANY sstriker, Sturridge is LFC bound}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:55:36
Remy close to Chelsea then we can get Sturridge

Ajax sign Babbel on a 1 year deal.

Marcus Babbel?!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:54:36
So...are we skint or are FSG doing it old school and it's all quiet. Well, it wasn't all quiet around Borini and Allen so you have to consider the skint option. In which case who's up for loaning Bellers back from Cardiff? (arh yes, well there are a number reasons why that won't happen (ahem)).

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:54:18
6 hours left, I really doubt that we will sign two players... maybe one if all goes well...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:24:58
I can only think live from melwood at 7 clock means were holding back any signings so we can show a bit of drama on camera

The most deluded post of the day and that takes some going

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:24:48
Yossi fukn bennymoon Jesus we must be skint, so disappointed if that's true...

If we got 4m for Adam and the 1.5m loan fee for Carroll, surely we only need to stump up 1.5m now to secure Dempsey? Would be good to get him cheap but I'd feel a lot better if he was wrapped up soon - we need an aerial threat!

Red Ollie

£4m for adam

£1.5m for carroll plus 70% of 80kpw wages (which is £2.6m) = £4.1m

jay must have a loan fee lets say 500k plus 100% of his wages. (around 40k - £1.9m) = £2.4m

4 + 4.1 + 2.4 = £10.5m

£6.5m for Dempsey
£3m for Sturridge or Damiao on loan.

leaving £1m

wilson, gulacsi & pacheco loaned out saving £4m
+
Doni leaving on free saving £2m

1 + 4 + 2 = £7m

Michel Bastos in for £7m

Now that's budgeting.!

hi...im from israel and the media here says that benayoun will come to liverpool on loan if dempsy deal wont come up

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:53:32
Please post in banter....

I'm just so annoyed that we cannot compete in the transfer market. This is not a rant but just a huge dissappointment. FSG really need a crash course on English football. In this day and age money talks. Not asking for silly money but surely we can buy players of a good caliber even without champs league.

Imho I think FSG are way over their heads here.

LIV POOL

Allen Borini to name a few

You sound like a spoit child who didn't get what he wanted/demanded for Christmas!

Lyndon

Get your facts in order before you start spouting utter rubbish

Check the records - ALL our owners ( inc Hicks and Gillet ) have backed the managers in their transfer dealings, it's amazing what short memories some fans have.
Always looking to blame the owners for our managers failings - the worst culprit being a certain Spaniard.

Agree mate cowboys own us..there a joke..

I happen to feel frustrated but FSG did throw the check book at the club last season, just with the brief of desiring British players.

Maybe next season they'll have more funds for us, i don't think we can be greedy and expect money money money. We've spent about £40 million. It's the resale value on Adam and Carroll which seems to be the tricky part.

Rodgers has knocked off £250,000K a week of the budget and i'm sure if he keeps up things the way they have been going, then FSG will back him. It's what i'm telling myself anyway.

I personally think FSG should have backed Rodgers to the tune of £80 million this Summer, with young continental and south American players being the theme, to accompany the players already. But that obviously hasn't happened in the way i'd have liked.

Borini, Assadi, Allen, Yesil and Sahin on loan. Maybe they'll all come good, i have no doubt about Allen being a top player and i think Borini looks the part as well.

So buying the club clearing it of debt giving well over a £100 mil in transfers and trying to develop the ground at the same time is not enough for you. We need support not whiners. IMHO we have some awsome youth coming through an exciting manager who is trying to get us to play great football, a young and hungry team and a better ground. Many thanks FSG things are getting better.
red sheep.

Utter rubbish, I'm afraid mate a few things you should think about.

1) They saved us from being rangers x 100 .
2) They are bank rolling the club to the tune of 100 mil.
3) We have players that were bought on high wages for large sums in the past thus the current situation.
4) They gave Kenny plenty of money.
5)no champions league = less cash
6) we will sign players but lets not panic otherwise we might make more poor signings like carrol,hendo,downing,adam and flush another 75 mil down the pan.

I for one hope that we don't simply through money away and focus on balancing the books and building this great club to bring success for the future.

Fsg make money if we make money and that means if we succeed.Would you rather another bunch of pirates like H&G ?

31 Aug 2012 16:53:27
Ed's, as the minutes tick by how realistic that we'll be signing anyone? Some reporter for the times reckons damiao is not coming, there appears to be a total impasse with fulham over dempsey and sturrudge is seemingly dependant on chelsea buying other forwards. If FSG don't get some attacking palyers in having let AC go, they'll get pillared

It's got nothing to do with FSG - may be hard to believe but some players don't want to come to Liverpool - shocking thought, but true, we haven't got the attraction to players we used to have.
How do you know FSG haven't said to BR go and get who you want, have you thought it might be BR only wanting certain types of players - which perish the thought might not be available.

John B

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:52:59
how on earth and on what planet are FSG on if they expect us to get champions league footballby bringing in yossi benayoun.

In addition i will not be impressed with BR if he has allowed caroll to go out on loan so he can bring these kind of signings in nothing against yossi its just no better than having the likes of joe cole on the bench

heres hoping FSG/BR spring a suprised b4 2300 otherwise we r in for a long season

Eds i thought you said no more yossi posts, still seeing them ! {Ed019's Note - Because people are still sending them in and other Ed's are posting them}

Mate if you believe every report you hear today you're somewhat naive to say the least.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:52:51
I have had enough now if it is true we are signing yossi back then we should have kept Kuyt, Maxi who are better players! hopefully this is crap but spurs are spending, fulham are spending! i know we have bought Allen and borini BUT we have lost Adam,spearing,kuyt,maxi,aqualani,carroll! i think we are in financial meltdown!

I hope i am wrong but this will signal a very long journey for liverpool to get back to were it needs to.

wre have these damaio rumours coming from. ive heard benayoun and sturridge on loan, walcott if henderson goes and only if downing goes will a bid be put in for dempsey. make of it what you want but my soure got the borini allen and rodgers deals right

Aggressive rumours with spelling mistakes dont generally wet my whistle, just for future reference

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:52:04
Why is everyone so miserable?? transfer window isnt over yet. If football winds you all up so much why do you bother following it??

Agree agree agree. Some people on here are like spoilt kids on xmas day who don't get everything they asked for. Wah I wanted a llorente not a yossi. Grow up and let BR SIGN the players HE wants not who you think we need.. MonaghanRed

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:51:57
Really happy with benayoun, now a goal scorer in dempsey or damiao or even klaas jan haha

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:51:51
Big anti climax for the red supporters tonight.yossi back oh my days where are we going

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:51:36
Robbie Savage, BBC Sport
"Roberto Mancini has got Richard Wright - a massive signing! He's got Scott Sinclair, who will be an impact player and will not have a regular start. Nigel de Jong needs to be replaced. He's bringing in Maicon, 31 years of age and over 60 caps for Brazil. I think he will be a good addition."

LoL Robbie Savage taking the Michael.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:49:42
Eds...
Still think 2 players?
According to ben smoth 1 player in. And not benayoun?
Yet rodgers saying number of enquires? but yet 1 or 2 he says do u think it could be more? Or do u think the "number of enquires" is just to round up what options we would have from those?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:49:07
Becoming a bit of a joke. Wasting our last hours on Yossi wen we should be targeting a goal scorer !! Heard any possible movement of Llorente eds ? {Ed019's Note - No}

Ed,

Good news!! We have eventually made a move for Dempsey...

Jon Carter: BREAKING: Liverpool have made a move to sign Clint Dempsey. Discussions are ongoing and it's the move the American wants. Not Villa, who are also trying to sign him.

O'seunfunmi (Anfield Red)

Discussions is hardly is it, we've been in discussions with fulham for dempsey all summer, so really....?

it's not , a fee agreed and the player signing would now be , the whole thing is as boring as a glass of water !

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:48:01
so far today on this site we have been linked with

1 wallcott
2 dempsey
3 lennon
4 damiao
5 lewandowski
6 muller
7 benayoun
8 sturridge
9 huntellar
10 bastos
11 turan

We are so poor, Kenny Dalglish ruined our club. 100m on Adam, Downing, Carroll, Henderson and Coates. King Kenny? Not a king in my eyes. Thanks for nothing. I hope Kenny cant sleep at night after the mess he left us in. Jamie YNWA

Go and support someone else, you're not welcome here

Carroll, Hendo and Coates will go on to be great players.

Show a bit of damn respect, posts like this absolutely disgust me. Dalglish came back as a favour to FSG after the disaster with Hodgson - he tried his best, as he has always done with Liverpool and it didn't work out. It was a crying shame but to say he ruined our club is absolutely pathetic. He is one of the people who MADE this club what it is. Do your history before saying such utter rubbish.

JFT 96

JP

Coates looks good and he's young, i think you mean enrique. enrique has been aweful since last january. horrible defending and going forward he's one dimensional.

Wtf....u knob!!!!

Wow remind me to never come round your house!

Couldnt of said it better myself, kenny ruined our club and our money situation {Ed019's Note - Kenny stabilised the club, not ruin it}

Kenny Dalglish is a legend and should never be slagged of for what has been, get a grip and back your club person. The future is bright.

Ouch! Last year wasn't great but he set a foundation of what is expected in the future. You also need to look back at what he did in the past before making comment's like that.

Adam - was worth the money we paid
Henderson - easily worth the 16m we paid, a star of the future.
Downing - on the basis of what he is capable of, only slightly overpriced, the fact he hasn't produced is down to himself.
Coates for 6m is a steal
Carroll - it was well documented that the fee paid had a lot to do with the Torres deal, because Torres certainly was not worth 50m.

Every fan from every club can point out failures in their signings.
Veron, Carrick, Anderson, Berbatov ( 28m loss in 2 years ) - Man U
Shevchenko - Chelsea ( and many more )

John B

What a person post so p**sed off. For all Kenny has done for the club and for all he went through after Hillsborough and you get some clown who comes up with trash like this and he even has the audacity to sign it with YNWA,

Should be ashamed

You are a First call 100% gold plated
P";:k

To even say that you should be ashamed of
yourself!

Yossi! Can't believe it, wanted out and now cause he knows he's nowhere near the 1st team at Chelsea we're gona take him back, Fsg need to take a look at themselves if they want a top 4 finish! Think this moves a joke.

He didn't wanna leave rafa told him to look for a new club and by the way he is very clever an would fit in the style of play.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:37:45
Owen , Sturridge and Dempsey will all be at Liverpool by the end of the day and Pacheco will be out

Yossi will sign and end the Sturridge deal.. Coz prem rules state you can only loan one player from the same team at anyone time..

With the current squad i expect mid table finish.Forget about getting better like all the other teams we are going backwards and have not even replaced players that have left.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:32:54
Ahoy - just a word of praise and thanks to Charlie Adam and good luck for the future.

He came at a difficult time, and things haven't worked out, however he gave a very positive interview on SSN, has never been critical of the club and even last night when he must have known he was going, attended the game in club tie and colours to support.

He seems to be a decent bloke and a proper pro

He may not be on the list with the greatest to wear the shirt, but he's nowhere near a Paul Stewart or an Oyvind Leonhardson a Sean Dundee or even a Nicky Tanner.

Cut the squad to the bone and get two average players in great thinking fsg they havent given br a chance go back to rounders
jns

Who are the 2 average players?

Nothing to with FSG, not their decision to get rid of players, purely down to the manager, surely BR wouldn't have taken the job if his hands were going to be tied.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:35:23
please please tell me the beniyoun rumor isnt true il cut my throat now. why sell adam to replace him with an ex lfc player who just wasnt good enough. hence the rejection from us,arsenal and chelsea

But some of you guys at read this stop being such persons! This is called a football rumour website if someone post something its 90% of the time because they've heard the rumour if someone does post in here they've taken the time to so stop being so negative and eds just wondering if this is true would love a responses please :) - is it true that some from Lfc can't remember who Iyan something?

31 Aug 2012 16:29:48
The only new signing i want to see is a new owner. One with ambition. Werner said we had funds to compete was he talking about with the championship teams.

Considering Blackburn paid 8m for Rhodes, no, we can't even compete with them!

Marshy

Do me a favour mate and do your homework! This club was on the brink of administration and I mean hours away it ain't monopoly money mate it's real life you don't like go elsewhere with your support. Your looking for a sugar daddy he's down the M1 on the kings road lookin after a team with no history.

Mike S

I agree Mate, I have no idea why Werner would say we can compete with anyone, because we provenly can't.

The comment by Mike S just shows the kind of misconception there is around. FSG of course staved off administration, but this is FC we have to compete on the pitch, not just in the business arena. So Mike S why don't you go and follow another team probably a league 1 or 2 team the way you are talking.

GT

He said 'resources to compete' not money. I really wish if people were going to quote the club's management team they would at least get it correct and maybe understand what they're saying!

Mate there only in it for the money leeches...

GT I have plenty of asspiratio a for our club but I realistic. It's no good coming on here saying we're not spending when we have already spent £20 million brought in a quality player in Sahin and yet were all still here moaning saying we never got out Galactico!! Let's see how much we have spent at 11.00 pm tonight most people are posting we keep getting turned over on transfers and when we try to be shrewd we get the other half saying the owners our a joke! There dammed I they do dammed if they don't.

I don't think people realise how little money we have to spend
We are eying for Benayoun on loan, that is how far we can go ex players on the rent boys scrap heap that we don't need to waste the wages on
And another midfielder in a position that we don't need
Rodgers best pull something besides this tosh out of the bag for our strike force or we Will really struggle to score the goals
Jplfc

FSG wanted British players, So it's their fault, they hired KK and Comolli, the latter who was signed on the advice of Arsenal fan Billy Bean.

Comolli did his thing with Kenny happy to go along with it, and we have players with not much sell on value.

Again FSG's fault, so they should inject enough money for Dempsey and a top striker within our means.

The wage bill has been cut tremendously (£250,000K a week by some reports). So why FSG haven't said ''here you go Brendan.'' As you've proved the wage bill is under control and although there is still some work to do, you have been fantastic so far.

Owners out..

So he will be earning sod all then cos he won't be playing

So that counts him out everytime one of his horses races, trains etc..!

Why? Morgan, Eccleston, Ngoo are all better, on less wagers and don't have the injury problems.

Borini and Yesil are better than OWen, he's passed it and out of contention of top English clubs.

He should go to USA and play with Henry, KEane and the rest of the old Prem guard.

Don't be silly

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:16:07
A good move would be to get Cudicini as backup to Reina, Spurs don't need 4 keepers and we need a better backup

Cudicini isn't better than Doni, both weak but neither are good.

I say run with Gulacsi, he's young, let him develop under Reina.

Have you not watched Gulacsi.I love so called supporters who dont have a scooby doo.

Gulacsi is going out on loan.

Man Utd have rejected a £57m bid from Chelsea for Howard Webb.

BWa, is that you Ryan Babel?

Chelsea will turn their attention to Phil Dowd for £200,000 and a Burger and chips.

But he was available on a free. Some people these day....

Piledriver

OMG - are you telling us that referees can't be bought?
That could affect a certain clubs penalty awards, and subsequent points tally.

Well he's there star man :)

Class..

Alfie

Not so weird, hes been their star player last 3 seasons :)

No where near enough for Webb...but they maybe able to get Phil Dowd for less than that!

Man U have sold Phil Dowd to City for a massive £1.50.
Apparantly the media are chuckling to themselves over City's over priced payment.

Haha


redh0t

Howard webbs just signed a new contract with the mancs with a 50 penalty buy out clause

Fergie has asked for 8 minutes injury time on the 11pm deadline so he can buy another ref

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:14:39
as much as i love transfer deadline day all us liverpool fans need to be realistic and stop mentioning name after name after name
dempsey and sturridge seem to the only 2 possibles forget the rest please

Also slim possibilities for walcott and bastos.

It's because no one wants Sturridge, even Ed said yesterday no other club was interested in him.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:11:40
Eds, Please post in Facts, not Rumours.
Walcott is not good enough.

Thank you.

Please post facts...yet you posted your opinion.

Practice what you preach!

I don`t totally disagree but i think there is more to come from walcott, if (and a very big if) he signed for us it would probably suit him, 3 prong attack interchanging, not touchline hugging like he has to do at arsenal

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:10:44
I think lfc should start pushing abit harder for a striker. We only have 1 or 2 if u class Borini! We need another two if we want 4th, is it me or do Liverpool like making their fans squirm! Nearly got knocked out of the Europa League by Hearts and your telling me we dont need more attacking options! Well done Suarez anyway atleast your starting to find the back of the goal, must be those red nets!!

Hi Ed's.

How true are the rumours surrounding Leandro Damiao? Have you guys heard anything in more detail?

Cheers

{Ed006's Note - Not a chance!}

Why do all the eds keep saying different things about our chances to get him?! Are you all just guessing or do you just have different sources?! I don't mind if its just an opinioin but if it's something more informed could you let us know eg. "My sources say yes/no" Sorry for the rant, I've been trying not to get too excited about him coming but I can't help myself - he'd be perfect!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 16:07:41
Look at spurs to see what you get for about 70m
Lloris, Vertonghen, Dembele, Moutinho, Siggy when you spend it wisely, and possible Llorente move as well

Compared to Carroll, Henderson, Adam, Downing

Take note FSG

Cotton

It must be kd and dm

What is the point in saying that to the owners...it was Commoli and Dalglish who advised them on who to sign...they just supported their employees!

AVB as many faults as he has, actually buys good players

Seriously eds sturridge. It shows a total lack of ambition. We are going nowhere fast.(rdred) {Ed063's Note - In your opinion}

In most peoples opinion actually.

I don`t think sturridge is good enough either, i wouldn`t call it a lack of ambition but he wouldn`t be my choice, i have seen nothing from him to suggest he will score 20+ goals a season but then again i think he will be a probable signing
if he does i will give him a chance

if he wants money then wouldn't he go to one of the rich clubs?

31 Aug 2012 16:05:38
I pray to god we dont sign walcott or sturridge, two more over rated english players for inflated prices. Neither of them have good end product and I just dont think they will provide us with many goals (what we need). Much rather prefer dempsey for a cheaper fee and then (hopefully) one of Lewandowski/Llorente/Damiao, would get us top four! Personally i'd like Llorente, as I think the jump from the Brazilian league to prem could be too much, and lewandowsi doesn't have the physical presence of fernando.

Hi eds and fellow reds. We all know that a proven striker shud have been the first priority of this transfer window, that been said u think we have one sorted but not released till the end of the window. That way we can keep the prices down on our other transfers targets.

I don't uderstand plz can some one help me

How can spurs attract quality palayers then liverpool

How can spurs compete in wages against top teams

Your answers will be apreciated thanks

FSG are all talk no action. {Ed063's Note - Give me a break}

Cos of modric sale which got them around 30m plus wages

They sold Modric and Van Der Vaart. Gives them a nice block of money to work with. Conversely, we've sold Adam for all of 4M in.

They have extra funds by selling Luka.

Daniel Levy has a lot of money and people seem to like London.

They've got money, we haven't.

Alright...tell me which one of their signings thats so much better then Allen, Sahin for example...and please..come back after 11 pm and complain cuz Im sure Pools doing business right this moment..

Sfeb

They're subsidized by the ****s

Because they have ambitious owners.

They have a chairman and board willing to back the manager - not difficult to work out. Unfortunately since Rick Parry squirmed his way into club, we never looked ahead and made expansion plans to generate more income, we also live in a more money challenged area where local fans are limited to what they can pay for tickets, one of the reasons the Bluenoses tickets are so cheap, and they have less money than us.
We also suffered from managers paying silly money for average players who then looked at us as a gravy train and didn't want to leave.
Difficult situation to change unfortunately.

John B

Spurs have sold Modric and Van Der Vaart, reportedly for £40+m between them. They also got about £20m out of selling Corluka, Bassong, dos Santos, Krancjar and Peinaar. They've also loaned out a couple. So that's more than £60m in, and quite a chunk off their wage bill.

So far, they've spent about £38m, I think. So they'll have nearly broken even on transfer fees if they buy Moutinho for £22m. Then IF they buy Lloris on top of that, their nett spend will be about his transfer fee.

By comparison, we've spent nearly £30m, and probably only taken in somewhere between £10 and £15m (maybe the Eds could give a better figure). So even if we do nothing, we've made a nett spend this year, even with Joe Cole still here on £80k a week, and probably paying some of Carroll's wages at West Ham.

And tbh, I don't think Moutinho and Dembele will be as good as Modric and van der Vaart for them anyway.

There seems to be an awful lot of new people being mentioned for a large amount of money. Liverpool don't have the funds at the moment, thus why we are stalling on a fee for Clint Dempsey. I would be surprised if we secured anyone today, but on a plus side Heskey and Owen will still be available on free transfers.

At least with Heskey, Owen and Babel being free agents we can pick them up after 11 p.m. if necessary :-)

Heskey and Owen just like the glory days on a free as well

It's obvious Liverpool will make a last ditch bid for £5 million or so, to Fulham in a past the point of no return like scenario where Fulham kind of have to agree at a beaten down price.

Otherwise have a Dempsey who doesn't want to play,. won't train and will cause trouble. As Jol already say's is happening. Liverpool seem to have got a poker game going with Fulham which Dempsey and Liverpool are in control of.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:54:55
We should buy a goalkeeper...surprised that none has ever noticed it, Reina had a very poor season last year and is making mistakes again..he's just unreliable. Doesn't make the difference when needed.

No-one noticed.....

It was blindingly obvious

RedSG

Only the blind and ignorant cannot see that for 3 years now Reina has been a liability. I have difficulty trying to remember the last time he was our man of the match - or even kept us in a game.
It must make poor reading his shots on target and saves ratio.
Can anyone tell me the last time Reina saved a penalty - and don't mean not scored.

John B

{Ed006's Note - your about to get a lot of posts saying West Brom about 2 weeks ago. Just to warn you.}

I'll go first ed006. West Brom a couple of weeks ago.

John B, you let yourself down there with the penalty thing. Much of what you post here is pretty decent, but your anti reina sentiment is a bit ott. he's a great keeper, but seems to be going through a dodgy patch, for reasons yet unknown. he's more than good enough to come through it though.

Flagg

Or his match winning save last min against hearts 1. leg?

reina maybe done couple strange things last year, but to bash Reina u gotta be pretty stupid.

31 Aug 2012 15:54:19
Lloris Has been spotted at spurs lodge any chance of Brad Friedel to test reina?

GAM {Ed019's Note - Too old}

Very old, but still a quality keeper. He's done quite well for Spurs, honestly.

Why would Reina let the manager bring in a better goalkeeper than him.

Friedel is not better than Reina you muppet.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:53:52
Why would Liverpool bid 18m for Muller when they can have Dempsey for half of that? I`m hearing there`s not much money in the bank so sounds unbelievable.

The first part of the comment doesn't make sense.

Why would you have Muller for twice as much as Demsey? Because he's more than twice as good, that's why.

However, as you say in the second part of your comment: we may not have the money.

That and the fact that I don't see us as an attractive option for Muller, I'd be skeptical.

But then there's this guy. Just wow...

Henderson has nothing to do with xavi and iniesta, he is a headless chicken. no composer or grace.

what the hell is going on? waahhhh

Lets hope they do get it sorted , it is so not fair on Clint Dempsey if they do not fulfill their promises to him. There is no way the guy would refuse to play etc if Liverpool had not talked to him and made an offer. Sounds like they are plotting between them.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:51:45
i hope we do get dempsey and the way its going i would not mind if we get owen on a pay as you play because at least he would be able to teach some of the young guns in the reserve team and if we can lets get damiao

Teach them what? how to make the medical room your home?

Should get him on a pay as you score deal, should have done the same for Joe Coal too, then we may have seen a different player.

Damaio would be daft not to take a year's loan for a chance to play week in week out at liverpool. He would be loved by fans.

I mean you have eds saying they will orgasms forever and fans promising to run round naked haha! I just hope we can do some serious convincing. I would start to use big players like gerrard to speak to him! See if just the realisation of who he will be playing with and up against may sway him.

I mean I am sure we would pay him £35K a week at least! We just got rid of adam, spearing, carroll,maxi,kuyt,aqualani off wage bill so that must of added up to like 250K a week.

And we only brought in Allen, Borini. what about 50k a week. So were 200k up as it is!

Jordan

Dude, wtf is 35k a week? he is Brazil international striker, one of best young strikers in the world... surerly he is worth atleast 60-70k a week... or what u think eds?

I reckon Allen and Borini are on more than 50k between them. Allen I suspect is on 40-50k, Borini around half that.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:49:04
Instead of paying around 9 million for Dempsey who's 29, why dont we sign gaston Ramirez who's 21 for 12 million??

We are in massive trouble. Spurs are signing some great talent. Lloris, Vertonghen, Dembele, Moutinho, Siggy & Llorente/Remy. Add that to Bale, Walker, Sandro, Parker, Adebayor, Defoe etc and we are in deep trouble. I think we are looking at eighth place if we are lucky. Man Utd, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, Spurs are all ahead of us. Everton, Fulham, Stoke, Swansea & Sunderland are all capable of rivalling us. Even West Ham and QPR have bought well. I am worried.

Plz dont post such rubbish posts...plz

Geez...

What's with all these "negative vibes?"

Have you not seen liverpool play? we're still working things out and we look brilliant. allen is amazing and i think could be better than alonso, shelvey is looking like a young gerrard. borini is showing moments of brilliance, suarez is always impressive and sterling has been unbelievable. we beat city (if not for a mistake) and we have room to improve. i think the league will be competitive but it will work out in our favor because united will drop points and arsenal lack goal scoring threats without rvp. tottenham may have a good team but i hardly think we'll be in 8th. rodgers has been fantastic and we have something to be hopeful of again

I thought redeyes made you chill.. You have to chill dude.

Shut up or I'll give you a black eye

Yup hope all the FSG worshipers come to their senses now!

Now that you mention it i am worried as well. Liverpool fans never seem to have any faith in the club and manager no matter who it is. People need to have faith in BR and Liverpool FC

Why worry about Spurs?

AVB is a rubbish manager anyway don't worry!

Pacheco ain't good enough to be playing regularly for Fulham. He did nowt when he was loaned out to a mediocre Spanish side last season. Rayo Vallicano(spelling) it was. If he can't do it when he goes back home doubt very much he'll do it in the Premier League.

According to the Brazilian press, the Reds want to quickly close the player by presenting a proposal for loan, advancing to the final in hiring at the end of the season.

The amounts involved suggest this business for five million euros for the transfer, after adding another 15 million at the end of the season.

Free up wages, loans mean we keep the asset and we lose the day to day expenses (in most cases, sometimes wage contributions are need for high earners).

And we aren't skint, (but we also dont have masses of money like Citeh and Chelski) we arent going to let clubs we have money or they will demand a higher amount on transfers!

Telephone, fax machine, they have doctors in Brazil.

Is Damiao being a greedy mug? {Ed019's Note - Who Knows}

If he's being greedy why wouldn't he go for other clubs with money to burn? Why us? Unless its all a terrible joke...

Don't care if he is just get him please!!

Ed could you elaborate on the Henderon situation? Do liverpool want to sell him ? {Ed019's Note - No}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:24:21
''Recognised goal scorers.''

Hope it ain't Owen. He hasn't been recognised as a goalscorer since Madrid.

Since Liverpool

Exactly, so why the hell would you even bother to write about it here...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:23:58
Been in work since 8:00,not done a tap and the rest of the office much the same as everyone is busy scrolling through various websites looking for sniffs of transfer news.

I think transfer deadline should be a public holiday for the amount of work we get out of people. Lets start a petition - 100,000 names means we will get it debated in parliament!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:23:35
Why am I allowing myself to get excited about Damiao in talks...my heart is beating like am about to shoot me load and me head is saying...don't be stupid, it'll fall through"

Dear jesus make him (and subsequently me) come!!

Irish Al

LOL!

K.Bennett

Just expect the worse that we will get nobody and then if someone signs you will be pleasantly surprised :) that post was a little bit to graphic mate lol

Danny

100% agree
Suarez damiao Dempsey
Defences wouldn't know what to do
Please don't miss out on this lad!

Irish Al,

Just imagine it's like being with the wife.

She'll promise to make you but won't in the end!

We've gone from Damiao to Yossi....I may grab some viagra on the way home from work haha!

Irish Al

You'll all be joining in the exact same celebration if it happens!

Irish Al

Oh and Danny I was trying to do that very thing but for some reason I'm just seeing 6-0 vs man u in me head with Damiao hat trick 2 for dempsey and a Luis overhead kick from the half way line!....at OT

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:23:17
LFC have been offered Damiao on season long loan for £3 mil fee with opportunity to buy for £13 mil at the end of the season! Club considering the deal now!
YNWA

Just get him signed!

Would love damiao, but seems a bit cheap deal?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:22:23
Hi Edds great site. Is Michel Bastos still a possibility for us? I hope he is because he would be a great signing and at £7m he would be cheaper than £8m for Dempsey. {Ed019's Note - I don't think do, low chance}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:21:57
Huntelaar Pictures are from May 2011 when Schalke played Man Utd. Here is Raul in the same suit at the same airport on the same day:

Eds, say if Damiao did happen, how long would it take him to fly in to England and complete his medical? {Ed063's Note - He could have his medical in Brazil if he were to sign}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:17:52
Owen has been spotted at McDonald's in Liverpool city centre. On way to melwood later on {Ed063's Note - Haha}

Was he working?!

You'd only see him in McDonalds if they took bets.

He was buying a not happy meal.

31 Aug 2012 15:17:41
Bastos in talks with 2 clubs if you belive his agent. Liverpool where linked earlier today could be something in it could be nothing.

I know it's an extremely long shot and proc got more chance of confirmed alien sighting in Stanley park, but what about cavani?? Heard nothing about him going elsewhere. Was lots of talk saying he'd leave napoli earlier in the window.

Ed, There has been talk of a transfer to Liverpool for Aubayemang. Is LFC really interested?

Cheers {Ed063's Note - I dont think so. I think it was just lazy journalism because Swansea were interested under Rodgers}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:21:03
Hello Eds,
Does it look like Dempsey and Sturridge (loan) are possible ins ?
Also is there any chance Cole and Pacheco could be moved on ?
Finally is there still hope for Damiao or the chance is all but gone. {Ed019's Note - Si

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:15:46
Ed, just wondering have we offered a deal including Jordan henderson plus money for clint Dempsey ? Would seem odd as woud think henderson alone , 22 would be worth at least 7million

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:15:36
THIS IS REAL NEWS! Not sure if already known but Liverpool have had a 18 mil bid for Dortmund striker Lewandowski rejected by Dortmund! (a website)

Sturridge? Is that Chelsea's revenge for selling them Torres?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:11:06
Ed, based on what Macca has said looks like sturridge am i the only one gutted by this how does a greedy overated player who has a bad selfish attitude fit into br style of play?please tell me it not true i would rather us sign no one rather then get him what is your opinions cheers daryl

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:55:28
What is clear we are in a mess. Should the owners be looking to sell the club to people that can move us forward. We seem to be in similar position under Moores and Parry

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:55:25
Eds, what are the chances of getting Walcott now? Seems something is happening watching Brendan Rodgers press conference.

31 Aug 2012 14:53:02
these liverpool fans going mental about damiao, huntelaar and llorente possibly signing...... lets face reality-
llorente: not going to sign, probably spurs bound
huntelaar: definite no confirmed by rodgers
damiao: not going to sign and i am 100000000000000000000000000% sure of it, if anything he will sign for spurs!

We will be stuck with sturridge and dempsey so looks like mid-table finish for us :)

Btw interesting to see Ryan Babel could be signing for fulham...

NestyMan

I don't see the appeal in spurs, they don't have champions league football so why would those players sign?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:13:50

Why are wages an issue with leandro damiao if its just a loan deal?
Thanks

31 Aug 2012 14:53:37
Irrespective of who comes in today, the emphasis has to be on quality and not quantity. Andy, Charlie and Jay (7 out of ten, 6 out of ten and 5 out of ten). I make that 18. That means we need to sign two 9 out of 10 players just to keep at the same level! So one of the incoming boys must be a 10 out of ten player to improve the current squad! Messi or Ronaldo? Take your pick! ;)

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:52:08
Come on everyone, we need to be realistic, we don't have the money for a major signing, Rodgers just said in an interview that huntalaar will not be coming, neither will sturridge, the only player we will get is Dempsey and that's it......let's just all calm down and be realistic, we are balancing the books and need to work within a budget

its pretty sad that we are scrambing through the bargain bucket of strikers on the last day of the window. a striker ought to have been number one priority from the get go

I think that getting Carroll off the payroll was the problem and you can't say they haven't been trying to make that happen!

Damaio is not bargain bucket

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:06:52
BR just categorically stated that we are not in for Huntelaar. No more about him please. Cant' imagine how anyone would think the owners pay 17m for a player his age anyway. -SH-

 

 

31 Aug 2012 15:06:26
Eds is Damaio deal imposible?
as don't spurs have refusal on him before he goes anywhere? and i can't see them turning him down considering they seem to have more cash to spend than us. {Ed019's Note - Not impossible

But am i right in thinking that spurs would still have refusal even if it was just a loan deal?

I won't be happy at all if we end up with only sturridge if we've been offered Damiao at a dirt cheap price. Sturridge is good as a squad player...

We've saved half a million a week in wages with all the player gone out so wages is not an issue

31 Aug 2012 14:57:50
We are skint
Let's face it we can't afford to buy Dempsey, let alone buy anyone of any real age and quality, not saying Dempsey is bad but his price is too high for a 29 y/o. We are in desperate need of a striker and you can just see us signing Michael Owen on a free as we are in that much need of a goal scorer
Can't see anyone coming in
8 hours left

We will be looking for loans because we are skinters. We have no chance of finishing top4.

Hi Eds , great work as always .

Just wanted to ask if we are actually in the hat for an out and out striker.I get it that Dempsey gets goals and can play any where across the line but the same names that get bounded about dont fill me with confidence that we are in for a player that can finish off all the good attacking play we have shown .

I like the idea of Llorrente for us but then I also like the idea of messi joining..............

Hope we do get a finisher I would even go for Defoe if we dont have the finance to get a world class name .I just think that BR can get the team moving forward but without a striker (not just a forward ) we will again play well /dominate and have little to show for it .

I think AC would not be allowed to go without a replacement ,have to have faith on that. I dont think sturridge is ready to play our way.Work rate too low ,attitude poor struggles in central positions .

Oh well , loving deadline day looking forward to Michael Owen joining Blythe Spartans on 5 yr kit boy deal for an undisclosed fee rumoured to be in the region of 2 tubs of deep heat , a nice warm subs jacket and a bum warmer .

Please join me in prayer for an out and out goal scorer .

Any news on Titi Camara coming out of retirement for us?


keep the faith

Kobi {Ed001's Note - Defoe would never come to Liverpool, forget him, it is annoying to hear his name all the time when he won't leave London. We are trying to sign Dempsey and a forward. If the money will stretch there will be more signings, but I doubt we have enough.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:46:43
What is with the Yesil deal
is it true ed that bayer can buy him back for 1.3m {Ed001's Note - yes, under certain conditions.}

Can u please ellaborate on the conditions please please

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:46:07
Sorry not rumour related but can someone tell me why Liverpool keep kicking back to the goal keeper instead of going forward, it is making me nuts also I think continuing to do this will result in more and more mistakes and goals given away.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:45:16

31 Aug 2012 14:45:14

Hi eds just wondering would liverpool try to sign damiao permanently to make sure other clubs didnt try to prise him away next season if he did come on loan, dont listen to the rubbish some people may say if tonight is not a good out come you all do a great job thanks {Ed052's Note - If he comes and performs then he will 99.99% stay}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:47:22
Come on then Ed's52 what do you know? Damiao would be a dream come true! {Ed052's Note - It would}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:34:47
ed052 is their anymore evidence about damiao apart from a portugies translator at melwood?wouldnt lucas do some translating for ayres?or would that be unprofessional to ask a player to that for us?hope this is true just hopeing for more evidence mate.ed052 is a breathe of freash air on here :)
deano mcc {Ed052's Note - Well we know he's been offered to us. And we have scored brazil lots. And other sources say what we are saying too}

31 Aug 2012 14:40:34
I still strongly believe we will bring Walcott Dempsey and Sturridge in

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:13:09
Hi Ed,

Do you think any announcements for LFC will be held back until 7pm and beyond as that's when LFCTV comes on air for the deadline day madness and they will want the exclusive?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:56:10
hey ed, with man city looking like they'll sign maicon, and maisey saying they might be back for agger, do you think they might want to gve us micah richards and some cash for him, or am i wishful thinking? {Ed063's Note - I personally dont think they will come back in for Agger, but I could be wrong}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:40:14
Ed's... do you think if Dempsey and Sturridge arrive that they will be our only signings. Or might there be others asswell?

T23Hero {Ed019's Note - There may well be a surprise or two}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:40:01
hi eds, this might already have been covered, but was it just a rumour that the owners would release money on the back of ac loan, or was that just wishful thinking. I realise that it frees up a wage but is that it.
thanks alot. {Ed019's Note - Yes}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:38:09
So once again Tottenham, Chelsea and Man City making big signings, where we making stupid bids for sh*te, why can't we spend big money on good players, seriously what is going on, £35million for a player that we send on loan a season later with the view of West Ham buying him after that, what an absolute waste, look what others have bought for that amount, Hazard, Nasri, Yaya, Tevez. Another Downing more expensice than Young, who is handling the money and who in their right mind is targeting these players, big club haha, we seem to be getting worse and worse as each season goes by, i honestly can't see us finishing top 6 this season never mind top 4, i hope they prove me wrong but honestly cannot see it happening!

Llorente heading to Spurs.

Gutted... step over Sturridge.....

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:35:46
we are pushing for three players attacking midfielder, striker and left wing back.

These are the main targets

Left Back
Michel Bastos £7m - (Ian Ayre is with a Portuguese translator), he can play at left back, left wing back, left wing or left wing forward. and is basically a Glen johnson on the left. thought he probably has better dribbling skills.

Attacking Mid
Clint Dempsey £6.5m - (He has his HEART and mind set on a move to Liverpool, he has the upper hand in making a deal happen)

Striker
Daniel Sturridge loan with view to buy - (replacement for Carroll can either play as lone CF or RWF in a front 3)
or
Leandro Damiao (he has been offer to us on what seems like a good deal financially and would no doubt add goals.)

all three of these players bring goals from Bastos to Dempsey to Damiao.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:35:40
Rodgers says a few more players a couple means 2 a few 3 + =)

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:35:31
would be awesome with a transfer stopwatch thing on the website, maybe for the next transfer window?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:34:52
liverpool have barely any money to fund for clint dempsey(8 m) so really expect us to buy players on loans. so expect the likes of sturridge to come in on loan> :(

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:34:26
Eds u said "hardly" to a post. The guy was roght it is all talk with rodgers. Liverpool linked with so many looking at so many but reality is we are so boring. Look at spurs wanting three players rodgers says looking at many options lookings no good man i gurantee we get 0-1 signing i gurantee it. N it will be a loan. He says many but 2 at most. Same old best fans in world dont get treated like it man all bog clubs bar man utd will strengthen today but cone on thete fans got van persie.!! {Ed001's Note - christ you are a miserable get! Talk about a whiner. We have signed Allen, Sahin, Borini etc already. Get a grip and stop whining, it is boring and utter rubbish anyway.}

Love the response

Well said ed01!

Well said Ed

Agree with ed - massively disagree with the poster! Wait and see what happens tonight before you judge - have you never witnessed a Transfer Deadline Day?! Things don't start getting interesting till about 9pm

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:33:34
expect - dempsey and sturridge.

easyd

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:22:36
hi eds would you be happy with sturridge i for one would not {Ed063's Note - If it is who Rodgers wants then I will back him}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:22:22
Eds ,is hunterler possible {Ed063's Note - I dont think so}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:21:50
How come there has been no news on anything there's not that long to go really is there? {Ed063's Note - Theres plenty of time mate, be patient.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:17:10
eds, can we expect any more signings by the end of the day?
YNWA {Ed063's Note - I think there will be one or two in}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:06:32
eds in your opinion who are the most likely signings today?great site btw #addict {Ed063's Note - I'll say Sturridge and Dempsey - but I refuse to give up on Damiao yet}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:52:26
Garrghghgh

All this waiting is killing me !

Eds whats the situation ?

Really hope we get Damiao

Richard {Ed063's Note - Wage demands are stopping a move}

I'll give a few pound a week towards his wage, maybe we can all chip in

Liverpool turn down Stoke's approach for Henderson. SSN live feed from Stoke's ground.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:30:19
Damiao looks to be the best thing since sliced bread on the profile, out of curiosity why arnt the big spenders interested? Man city, PSG, Chelsea etc etc ( i wont include Spurs!) they could all easily meet any demand he wants?

id love him at LFC , but the old adage of "if it looks to good to be true....it probably is " seems quite apropriate here when we are supposedly skint.

Syrio

Only thing I could think of is that maybe he wants to play for us

Agreed,when hasa brazilian club ever loaned their star striker to a top european side, they sell for heavy profits

tom1975

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:29:03
Hi Ed i want to know ur thoughts who you think lfc will sign today. I really hope a striker and winger should come. Plz ed reply to this post so i can breath easy. Because i believe on you.
Thanx.
Ur response will be much appreciated.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:27:13
Just watched the press conference live on LFC tv. Brendan wasn't giving to much away at all, but defo looks as if Sterling will be staying just in case there were any doubts on that one. Spoke very highly in regards to Sturridge...

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:26:11
We need to sign a finisher, a real goalscorer by 11 tonight and possibly a winger and it would have been an incredible transfer window for the reds.

Cheers Eds

We ll get dempsey and then sturridge on loan and be disappointed

tom1975

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:06:03
Hey Edds probably a stupid but is there any legs in the Damiao rumours,Would be a great coup ? even on loan for a season.

{Ed033's Note - update in the damiao profile due to developments on his transfer to LFC. Link to profile below

Leandro Damiao

Its nonsense,loaning thei star striker to us, cos brazilian clubs are always loaning their players to rich european sides

tom1975

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:22:34
Just caught some of BR's presser in the TV.... He's being very coy and honest. He's hoping for some signings in attack but won't be drawn.

Anyway, it's not over until the fat lady signs (ho ho).

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:22:28
Spurs buying quality players. Moutuhno, Dembele and Loris, even QPR have signed some quality players and LFC is after all the crap like Dempsey and Sturridge same old liverpool always going for overrated players

.....and joe allen?....and sahin?! Stop flapping and have some faith. He knows what he's doing.

Davedee

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:19:45
Why r lfc fans delusional even Ramirez prefers Southampton
Gone r d days of league titles #nolongerasuperpowerZ

He doesn't *prefer* Southampton - LFC didn't go for him, as much as some of the supporters wanted him. He is this silly season's Juan Mata. BR obviously didn't think Ramirez fits in with his plans, which LFC supporters should respect

THICK!

Ramirez doesn't prefer Saints over Liverpool. Liverpool never wanted him and therefore there was no choice for Ramirez.

31 Aug 2012 14:15:55
Benayoun back to liverpool ?...Is there a chance
Red Ranger {Ed063's Note - Don't think so mate}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:13:44
Rodgers press conference says one or two in, would have said Dempsey and Theo or Sturridge, looks like the hopes of Damiao were short lived

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:17:12
Going to get all excited about the prospect of getting someone like Damiao and then be really gutted at 11.00pm when we haven't signed him.

Spurs seem to be splashing the cash again, I think we need 2 or possibly 3 good signings today in order to push for 4th place. Also the group stage in europe looks tricky so no way of resting players in that competition.

Cheers, JLT

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:10:01
Strong rumours we're to put a late bid in for Andy carroll from West Ham, £40m I'm hearing, bit steep I know but he's a hell of a jumper and could do well in the Derby next year and I hear he may enter into the Gold Cup and Grand National. Just rumours at the moment but could have some legs. I know we like him

DJ

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:58:07
How many New players do you think we will sign today ? Edd
Bazman.i think Dempsey and that's it {Ed001's Note - said all along Dempsey and another.}

Have to admit I'd be left slightly underwhelmed if it's Sturridge!

dmedly

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:07:26
isnt it obvious no singings will be announced until after 7this evening with lfctv being live from 7 until 11

31 Aug 2012 13:55:49
Liverpool in shock move for Owen hargreaves! Before you shoot me down, Lucas out for 3 months, spearing gone which leaves who as defensive mid field in preferred 4-3-3 formation? Gearrard? Perhaps but is he really that type of player. Heard this from a ex footballer as sons academy last night.

PLEASE...say it aint so !!!

If he was fit, I'd take a gamble on him!

RedSG

Allen, Sahin, Shelvey? I'd expect Allen to take on the defensive part with Sahin taking the deeplying-playmaker roll..

I don't believe this will happen. No shooting, just not believing.

Who was the ex-footballer ? - Michael Owen?
DM2012

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:54:33
Apparently dempsey's said if he cant sign for liverpool then he will retire thats the kind of spirit we need :)

Laylow

Sounds like Mascherano to Barca

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:54:09
Good luck to Charlie Adam at Stoke. A great player at the right club and I thought at times last season he played very well. But going forward probably not the level of player needed to get us into the Champions League.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:54:01
apparently damiao is a slim chance as his wages could be a stumbling block - according to tw*tter anyway

And ed.....

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:49:24
All hype, liverpool dont have a penny to spend. Only signing will be daniel sturridge on loan, thats it. All other news is all absolute rubbish and just false rumours. Only daniel sturridge.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:47:36
Hi eds, Walcott rumours seem to have slowed down, was that just a rumour or does it have some legs? {Ed063's Note - We were interested but Wenger is refusing to sell}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:46:44
Hi eds - first time poster. Hearing lots of rumours, is there any chance they can be summarised? {Ed063's Note - Read the posts}

Quality summary! ha

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:45:44
the suspense is killing me...

Barrypool

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:45:40
A lot of money being put on Hunterlaar joining the reds, odds on with ... would be a fantastic signing as would Damiao!

BR just said NO to Huntelaar...

No chance on Huntelaar. He said himself yesterday he cannot wait for the new season so he can partner Allfeley.
vrcomp
Y.N.W.A.

Rodgers ended that rumour in the press conference.

Different as night and day...

Damiao would be our signing of the decade...would return our club to greatness...

here's hoping we sign the young Brazilian!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:41:38
Ed,

Anything about Clint Dempsey now? Or is it still the same?

O'seunfunmi (Anfield Red) {Ed063's Note - Nothing new yet mate}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:41:24
Hey Eds, what percentage would you give Dempsey and sturridge joining? {Ed063's Note - I wont do percentages but Dempsey is a good chance and Macca thinks Sturridge will join}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:40:37
Eds who is more likely bastos or damiao? Thanks {Ed063's Note - I believe Damiao - Bastos is in talks with fulham}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:01:55
Have to take my hat off to the Spuds! Thought losing Modric might derail them but Moutiniho and Dembele is a great midfield pairing. Ged

Kind of frightening actually isn't it? I can see them having a good season, Levy is a maestro in the market. So annoying to see.

Ojay

And Lloris and Llorente. We've fallen behind Spurs. Gutted but seems true.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:01:15
Leonardo Damiao - once in a blue moon type of signing! ;-)

Well played there mate

CyprusRed

Whos leonardo?

And it's a Blue Moon tonight !!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 14:01:13
Hi Eds I believe Sturridge is a no go, Were we after him? if we were have talks broke down?

Llorente is 100% going to spurs so he's of the list.

Walcott is 100% staying at Arsenal , he's of the list.

Dempsey is not guaranteed but looks promising.

Huntelaar is not wanted by liverpool

Who is realistically available? We don't have the money by the sounds of things and loan deals seem to be what we are after. so if that's the case our options will be pretty limited.
As we all know we need strikers desperately, and a winger. Do any of the Eds think we will be able do get them in today?

Spurs have agreed a 22m deal for Moutino. (great signing)

I would like to thank all the Eds for the hard work especially today and I hope you don't receive abuse by people, if they are not happy with the outcome, come 11.00 pm tonight. ( you guys don't deserve some of the rubbish that comes your way from time yo time on this site) keep going guys and treat yourself to well deserved bevy when you sign off. I would buy all one if I knew you.

EJ
W {Ed008's Note - Legend!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:57:59
Eds i am getting a bit concerned everyone has made their moves for their main targets so they can at least play on Saturday/Sunday ! we haven't even bid for anyone yet, i hope i am wrong but i think we will get dempsey and evrything else will be glorious failure due to lack of time?!?

Even the dempsey thing is dragging on just get the easy ones out the way and see if we can get the nice to haves later

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:57:45
If BR is able to pull off a deal for Leandro Damiao, he will prove himself to be an absolute magician of the highest calibre. Damiao is the perfect footballing package of power, speed and finesse, is adept with both feet, and scores enough goals with his head too. He will make an even stronger impact on the club than Luis Suarez did, and as much if not more than 'Nando. (Just caught myself drooling)..... ra1969

Damiao is the complete cf, i agree

tom1975

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:49:14
spurs team looking very strong for next season with Lloris and Moutinho coming in!

Not really as they got avb as manager quality players but useless manager

They've replaced Modric with Moutinho and Van der Vaart with Dembele. Personally I think they have weakened as opposed to strengthened. Siggursson is a good signing for them. Lloris seems like a good keeper but may take time to settle and to be honest Friedel was always a brilliant keeper so they haven't strengthened too much there either.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:43:54
I havent posted before now, but i can assure you the following are absolute certs
Liverpool will sign someone today

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:43:47
Guys, a friend of mine has posted a picture on FB of Huntellaar who was supposedly in John Lennon airport. I can't be sure its legitimate as I can't get onto my mate. But there was a Cop Car behind him in the photo that was definitely British. I'd prefer a bigger name but I swear this is true, just not sure if my friend is joking / has been tricked himself.
Cheers

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:43:14
oi Liverpoolians, hurry up and take Sturridge off us only got 8 hours left...

Scruffy

* Liverpudlians*

Danny

Oi Chelskis, come and take Torres off us...oh wait you already did!

Doha Red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:38:42
Dempsey a player who actually wants to come to lfc....and we lfc are fk88g about....get him signed...simple 7 mil for a 20 goal a season player!!

He has done that once! don't get carried away he is just a solid signing to be honest. We are still a couple of attacking players after him short.

Danny

Get him signed... simple?! Involved in a lot of transfer dealings are you? You know exactly what each entails?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:36:42
Just heard from a good mate of mine in London that Liverpool have put in a £ 38 million bid for West Ham striker Andy Carroll..
Any truth in that Ed`s ?.....:)

Rubbish. heard it was for 44m

I heard it was 40 with add ons

That's funny......

Lmao quality post

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:36:32
"I owe a lot of respect to people who were at Liverpool, the likes of Kenny Dalglish and Damien Comolli, I owe them a lot. I respect Brendan Rodgers and what he does, he's a top manager and hopefully they do well...."

Enough of the abuse of Charlie Adam, please. And any other current/ former players for that matter.

Mrpjd

Best wishes to Charlie Adam. Hope things work out well for him at Stoke.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:30:23
If there is a press conference today at 2pm, will it be shown on the LFC tv channel on sky? thanks in advance.

Badge

I believe so

Its on lfctv and also online

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:26:37
I am getting a little impatient haha {Ed052's Note - same - atleast we know people will sing}

I hear Stevie's got a great voice Ed ;)

Drewzer

I will sing if you want.....

Red Rout

People will sing ed?, are we in for susan boyle :P lol

Yeah people sing everyday so what?

I dont think a footballers voice is fit for singing anything other than a national anthem.

We do love a good song ed!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:26:33
Ok 13.25 we have signed no-one. Ominously worrying {Ed052's Note - no it's not, as hardly and transfers have been done yet}

Had to make sure Spearing and Adam were off first, and anyone else that could be moved onwards. Am sure the furious action will happen within 6 hours of the deadline ending. ra1969

Switch to a web site from 6 ;)

We are busy pretending that we have no money so that deals can be struck at the correct price instead of the over inflated prices Liverpool are quoted

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:26:04
It's my opinion that Liverpool won't be signing anyone

James {Ed052's Note - No offence, but your opinion is totally worng}

Well, I'm sticking to my word coz I think your wrong

Don't worry about Ed052 James, no shame in being worng. Just don't be wrong or this lot in here will crucify you!

Why are you being so stubborn, just wait and see im sure there will be someone coming in

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:25:27
Ed052 do u really think we can pull of the Damiao deal? If we signed him a 1/2 squad players I will be bouncing. Cheers in advance Luis {Ed052's Note - We could yes, but it may not even be him we are after}

If that proposed offer is try we would be completely bonkers not to push through that deal! However would a work permit be a problem?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:25:06
Damaio SUPPOSEDLY is 3m loan and 13m at the end of the season but didn't he say he'd rather stay in Brazil for the World Cup?

BthekingB

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:24:47
i expect dempsey to sign as he has now rejected all other offers and is waiting for us, we should be able to use this to our advantage to reduce the price slightly
also ed, i think we obviously need a striker, so who do you think it could be? is either llorente, sturridge or damiao possible?
and are there likely to be any other transfers than dempsey and a striker?
thanks, as always, eds, great site really informative and the player profiles are brilliant as well! keep it up only 9 hours to go

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:23:11
Come on Liverpool get signing some players already, time is running out........

Andy {Ed052's Note - no, there is plenty left}

I'm just impatient sorry

Andy

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:21:17
Strong rumours that Liverpool MD Ian Ayres in talks with representatives of Leandro Damiao. Watch this space... {Ed052's Note - becuase we didn't say that 3 hours ago did we? Any chance you tweeted that at BBC sportsday either?}

Classic cop, ed!

Mrpjd

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:19:48
Not as exciting as other rumours but jamaal lascellas to sign and be loaned straight back to nottm forest. He is a young CB fee around 1.8 million rising to 3 with add ons. annouced at 6pm

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:18:31
The only people coming for liverpool today are dempsey and possibly sturridge and one more person going out probly cole
Lfclee

I share these thoughts. only if we can shift cole though..

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:17:55
Eds do we have a chance of getting Leandro damiao? I mean what a signing that would be but he's been linked with so many clubs why would we be offered him? {Ed052's Note - Read this - an in - depth explanation to your question; http://www.player-profiles.co.uk/leandro-damiao.php}

Eds052, I have read the profile and he is incredible but it does say that we do not know where the rumours have come from and every club in Europe is interested, so why Liverpool? I really really want this to happen and will be the signing of the window. Cheers {Ed052's Note - Becuase we can give him a chance}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:15:19
its quite amusing that the stokes fans are ecstatic to sign charlie adam and were ecstatic to get rid of him lol stoke fans are easily pleased lol

Charlie will do well there. Wasn't the right time for the lad and couldn't replicate his form for blackpool, but wish all the best to the lad! top man along with Jay spearing. YNWA

Danny

Can we interest them in Cole, Downing??

How many touches will he get playing for Stoke with Shawcross hoofing it to Crouch all game.

I think Charlie will do well at Stoke, long ball fooball. Sure stoke would have like to sign Carroll too. Wish them both the best.

They will be decent player just not
Top Class!

Lyndon

Coz he is good enough for them, not for us. If damiao comes, im gonna be ecstatic. Top4, here we come. Arsenal, plz make way.
Indian Buzzer

Obviously. Charlie Adam is an excellent player not suited to BR's style of play. He will fit in excellently with Stoke and I wish him all the best.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:14:40
Please can one of the Eds confirm whether there is any truth to the Damiao rumors? {Ed052's Note - We have explained; http://www.player-profiles.co.uk/leandro-damiao.php}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:12:54
Does anyone else think it was odd that Agger didnt play last night.....surely it would have been sensible to rest Skrtel instead.

Could this mean that Rodgers is expecting a 'irresistable' offer for Agger.....Just a thought.

Also Dempsey will be signing very soon. Excited to see who this 'unknown' striker is as I dont believe at all that it is Damiao (Would love it to be him though)

Cub

I looked at it a different way, good to give Skirtle a run out after his gaf at the weekend. Will give him a confidence boost for the game against Arsenal. I thought it strange to pick Carra ahead of Coates though. maybe we wanted to give the opposition a sporting chance?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:12:24
If we have been offered Damiao. Just say yes. Double the offer if we have too.

Get him in. Big strong. Clever and knows where the net is.

Has he actually been offered us ed?

Keep us updated eds!

Jordan

p.s I am sure he has been offered to other clubs aswell though. {Ed052's Note - I beleive so yes}

Thanks Ed052 - My word lets just get it done!! If we can pull off a deal for a good goal scorer other than dempsey will be first transfer window I was happy with in years! Probaly since Torres signed and gerrard stay! That year!

Jordan

Keep us updated I know you will but have to say it haha

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:11:47
Hey eds, great work have loved following all the great work ye are doing here, Keep up the great work. Do you know what is happening with Dempsey and Sturridge? Dempsey has rejected a move to Aston Villa in favour of Liverpool, I thought he was a target of BR, why don't we get him. With AC gone now we need all the attacking prowess we can get. Any other potential transfers that you know of? {Ed052's Note - Dempsey will sign, not Sturridge anymore I dont believe}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:10:39
eds do you know for certain that people will sign but you cant really say cos you will give your sources away as it would be too obvious cos of the muniain question that was asked the reply was we wont sign him but equally good players cos they must be some player. i dont think dempsey or walcott r in the same league as this kid.

Redlips {Ed052's Note - I know for a fact that players will sign.}

Right ok, but r they as good as muniain?

Redlips

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:08:40
So would everybody agree that if we sign damaio that he would turn out to be the "star" signing everyone has been talking about?

Ashy {Ed052's Note - No, Borini was that star. Damiao has come from no where}

I'd be more than happy with that. Fingers crossed the rumours are true the ey?

Ashy

If LFC do sign players on loan that turn out to be better than expected what are the chances of the club signing these players at the end of the coming season? Would LFC have first preference? Would the likes of money bags City or Chelski jump in or can we hang on to these guys?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:07:40
charlie adam has signed for stoke on a 4 year deal and liverpool will bid for clint dempsey and he will force a move through to liverpool then we will sign sturridge on loan then we will attempt to sign theo wallcott or a new strikerif the sturridge deal fails .

mitchyyT

 

 

31 Aug 2012 13:05:34
i feel worried that we wont be signing anyone {Ed052's Note - we will sign atleast two players}

31 Aug 2012 13:03:10

Jay Spearing - Joe Allen
Charlie Adam - Nuri Sahin
Craig Bellamy - *Daniel Sturridge
Dirk Kuyt - Fabio Borini
Maxi Rodriguez - Oussama Assaidi
Alberto Aquilani - *Clint Dempsey
Andy Carrol - *Klaas-Jan Huntelaar

Obviously the players marked with * are what I would love to happen by the end of today, but all in all I think BR is something of a magician and has definately improved the squad!

RedMurf

Redmurf are you a hybrid smurf?
safa

Wrong wont happen this will happen:


Charlie Adam - Joe Allen
Alberto Aquilani - Nuri Sahin
Craig Bellamy - Fabio Borini
Dirk Kuyt - Clint Dempsey
Maxi Rodriguez - Oussama Assaidi
Andy Carroll - Daniel Sturridge

So Dempsey and Sturridge.

Spearing will not be replaced and Cole will stay!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:56:34
8 first team players including adam and spearing will leave liverpool today either permanently or on loan

No transfer news, just want to say a big THANKS, to Ed052!
Player profiles, lots of reponses and lots of posts in the last 40 hours! Great Job! Thanks for the help!!

The end is coming, keep going, but hopefully we will still have some movements!!

and maybe a pay rise after this ;)

this is sa poll to see who you all will like upfront between carroll and borini
i cannot seem to be convince of borini, hence i prefer carroll . he deserved a chance.

carroll click agree
borini click dis agree

Different strikers.

It doesn't matter what you or anyone else prefers, it only matters what BR prefers coz he's the manager. Carroll is gone he doesn't fancy him get over it and just worry about the players who are here. And just for the record he was absolutely shocking for 17 out of the 18 months he was here.

I clicked reply, what does that mean?

You think Carroll should get a chance and aren't convinced about Borini? Even though Carroll's made about 10 times as many appearances as Borini?

Why not give Borini a chance?

- Something Red -

You know he's gone to WHU right?

The two have very similar return rates thus far. But I am sure that Borini will come good.

Borini is a class player

adam has joined stock

Chicken or Beef?

Putting him in the stock's is a bit harsh. next you will throw veggies at him

Adam Signed For Stoke For 4mil

I can put with a lot from a player, but being overindulgent and thinking you're better than you are is not one of them.

That, along with lack of fitness, was Adam's limitation. He'd risk possession far too much to pull off one Hollywood ball in about five attempts.

- Something Red -

But his feud with Bale made it all worthwhile.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:52:37
Adam to Stoke finalised for £4M, there must be add-ons to that fee that if he takes corners and free kicks we get another 6M.

And extra if he kicks Gareth Bale!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:51:55
Damian? Sturbridge? Llorente? Dempsey? Why do I have a feeling we will sign nobody? {Ed052's Note - Hah, thjen you feeling is very wrong, 2 players atleast}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:51:12

According to Sami Mokbel, a football reporter for The Daily Mail, Liverpool are 'weighing up' the opportunity to sign the Internacional striker

He Tweeted "LFC weighing up Leandro Damiao. Been offered the option of season long loan at cost of £3m."

"Option to sign him on perm for £13m next summer."

"LFC would need to make a quick decision on Damiao, though. Paperwork issues means completing deal would take longer than usual."

"Not saying it's defo going to happen but #lfc have been offered him"

Liverpool fans would be overjoyed if the club managed to pull off a massive coup and bring a player of this standard to Anfield. {Ed052's Note - We have explained what we know already - in the profile on him; http://www.player-profiles.co.uk/leandro-damiao.php}

Charlie Adam has completed his move from Liverpool to Stoke.

Bye Bye Charlie have fun

Europe draw- Liverpool, Udinese , Anzhi and Young Boys. Redevon

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:49:08
KopBoy from the great LDN.


A deal for a striker is almost complete.

Plus maybe another, depends on agreement.

Cole at moment the like I said yesterday had a deal from an-unnamed club which turned out to be Spartak Moscow (Search option) is being difficult, simply doesn't want leave. But there are offers on the table for him, let's see what happens.

I'll keep everyone updated as much as I can.

KOPBOY

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:48:41
Damiao offered to Liverpool on a season long loan...would cost the club around 3 mil for the season..that's what another site is claiming.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:48:28
Adam now confirmed, can we assume a bid for Dempsey is imminent? {Ed052's Note - yes, it is very very close}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:48:21
Ed's you have mentioned about Damiao but how quickly could he fly in from Brazil and then sign a contract, agree personal terms and then have a medical?

Great, great work!

RedsMatt {Ed052's Note - He could do it in Brazil, or, as we mention in the profile, he could be here already}

Or.... the paper work just as to be done, but the medical can happen after the deadline also.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:47:14
Graham hunter on sky saying we are interested in llorente could there still be a small chance he will sign eds
cheers,
Lfc Liam {Ed052's Note - We have also told you of interets two days ago. I dont think a move would work now no}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:47:14
If we sign munaian i will piss my pants but defo wishful thinking but what a signing he would be :)

AndyLFC {Ed052's Note - We wont - be we will have equally good players coming in}

OH STOP IT ED!! you are gettin me all exsited.:)

Like who? give me a clue please

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:46:50
BBC saying we called Chelsea about Benayoun but dropped the interest because LFC are confident of Dempsey signing.
KernowRed

I thought benayoun played for arsenal? {Ed052's Note - on loan}

Benayoun can do one. He says he left because of Rafa even though Rafa left before he did.

And then just to make sure we know he told us a porkie, he says during the summer that he should've stayed here instead of going to Chelsea because he played more.

Yeah, that's not the reaction of a player bemoaning that he left over a manager, that's a player bemoaning the fact that he thought he was making a move up and discovered it didn't work for him.

At least Torres had the minerals to tell us he didn't think we were big enough.

- Something Red -

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:46:39
Really don't understand this we have no money to buy players and that we even offered Jordan in exchange for Clint Dempsey. I remember not to long ago Tom Werner was saying we can compete with most teams for players. I'm not moaning and saying we should buy Cavani or Falcao etc.... But to say we have no money to buy players like Dempsey and Walcott and trying to get loans in is taking the mick. The owners have to give BR some money if they want us to compete to be in the Champions League and before anyone says it yes we have bought Borini, Allen and Assiadi and Sahin on loan but really that's not going to get us into Champions League. I know its still early and we could make some signings but really I'm baffled on why we have to sell to buy and have no money.

Simple, we don't have the money.

Sam armchair {Ed052's Note - we do]

Well i'd imagine that the owners do not want a whole list of players on stupid wages sat in the reserves, its about cutting costs also and making space for players that will fit into BR's project and that will play so they get some value for money....

Al

Its all about the wages people. we can't and won't spend unless we move players wages on like we did jay, adam and carroll.

that will get us three players in. dempsey as cover for midfield, leandro for carroll and bastos as a needed lb.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:46:21
city spuds and liverpool interested in llorente...he really wants to leave today after his family recieves death treaths! guillem balague......what the eds think? cheers
devers {Ed052's Note - We wont be getting him}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:46:21
Liverpool called Chelsea to enquire about Yossi Benayoun but they have since dropped their interest because they are confident Clint Dempsey will join from Fulham before the deadline.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:45:28
Any truth in the Michel Bastos rumors? {Ed052's Note - We are not sure. However, we believe it is either Damiao or him}

Or HULK or FALCAO

(just kidding)

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:45:21
the likes of Damiao Soldado Llorente are only back up choices
Sturridge is the main target with Dempsey {Ed052's Note - no, Sturridge isn't, otherwise we would have gone out and got him}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:45:19
Anyone know where Dempsey is? Is he in Liverpool?
Is he coming to us? {Ed052's Note - He is close}

He must be in Birkenhead then. Maybe he forgot to put £1.50 in his car to pay the tunnel toll and he is now contemplating driving to Runcorn to go across the bridge.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:43:21
Damn Udinese, Young boys and Anzi. It is a tough group except Young Boys who lost to danish fc Midtjylland last night.
DanielDenmark {Ed052's Note - it is, a little worried}

Its the little teams we struggle against usually might work out for us.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:42:56
If carrol has been allowed to leave...and for no up front fee does that mean we have someone already lined up? Are we to expect a signing or two today? {Ed052's Note - We have people lined up. Expect atleast two in}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:42:51
All I'm gonna say is that if Ayre pulls the damiao deal off I will love him forever

Kind regards

The southern red {Ed052's Note - I will too}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:42:25
Ryan Babel on way back to the red side of Merseyside {Ed052's Note - no}

Surely we're not that desperate!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:42:14
Udinese
Young Boys
Anzhi

Looking forward to the Europa this year

cozinoz {Ed052's Note - awful group}

It could work out better for us, as them being better sides we pick better sides to play them(no underestimating teams) and also we get better atmosphere at the ground(hopefully)

31 Aug 2012 12:40:17
hey ed, any news on joe cole? {Ed052's Note - no, actually. which is odd]

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:39:52
Hi, a website are reporting that Villa have called off their pursuit of Dempsey as the player has said he want to join L'pool. Really happy about this and I'm expecting him to sign prior to the close of the window.

AdLFC {Ed052's Note - yes, we have said he will probably come to pool}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:38:24
Europa League: Group A: Liverpool, Udinese, Young Boys!

Looked good until pot 4!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:38:18
Any chance of huntelaar? Hes available and he can score for fun! Just what we need {Ed019's Note - Low}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:16:30
Hi Edds Great Site. Now that sturridge has been seen in Monaco does that mean that his move could be off? {Ed019's Note - No}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:12:46
Ed if Sturiddge doesn't come do u expect another attacking player other than Dempsey {Ed019's Note - We have many ohter options}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:33:39
my hopeful signings:
michel bastos
leandro damiao
clint dempsey
pierre-emerick aubemyang

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:33:19
Downing not going to QPR

BR happy with new role as LB, and will use him as cover for enrique

if Michel Bastos does sign - which is unlikely- then downing might go....

but for now, he staying a red

31 Aug 2012 12:35:32
Eds do we know the truth on Huntelaar? I realise this question has been asked before, however, no definitive answer has ever been given.

I've seen the picture at JLA. Is there any update on his location?

DJ {Ed052's Note - No, he wont be coming}

Thanks, so photoshop? An old pic? Or just me getting carried away!

31 Aug 2012 12:16:08
Just been stood outside Melwood and hearing Sturridge will arrive this evening for a loan deal. Dempsey also trying to force a move to LFC. No sign of Huntelaar or Llorente yet though haha

Is it busy? Might pop down myself
Lpoolkris

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:15:36
Eds do we actually have the funds to sign dempsey or are we playing hardball over the fee? Do you still expect any further forward signings? Thanks in advance for your reply

I am not an edd but we are broke

BR wasted 10.5M on Borini

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:14:43
Wouldn't like to be doing the LFC website...have some editing to do now!! Carroll, Spearing, Adam and counting. Looks like a busy time for everyone!!

David Villa on a season loan, Mvilla for 14 million and after missing out Affelay on loan BR is going in for Joaquin. The first too are 100% nailed on the Joaquin transfer is based on the player not really wanting to leave Spain.

StockholmRed

Biggest rubbish ive heard today lol
Villa on loan at the age of 29/31 and wages of more than £120,000 i very much doubt it...

3 players in today will be munaian and bastos.
loan for sturridge, if not carrol will be replaced in january -

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:31:31
Allen for Spearing
Borini for Kuyt
Assaidi for Rodrigues

maybe

Dempsey for Bellamy
Sturridge for Carroll


I would have took these swaps before the window openened. If it comes off I think our management have done really well. Reducing the age of the squad and no doubt reducing the wage billl..

God I love Transfer dead line day.

Kev the Red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:31:19
Liverpool have made an offer for Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge. Leandro Damiao, Roberto Soldado and Fernando Llorente other alternatives

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:30:22
eds, if a player refuses to leave and stays primarily for the money, can he be forced out? {Ed019's Note - Guess so }

Down to contracts really. If they refuse to play then you can terminate their contract same as for you or I if we refused to work. Then they lose any compensation as well. Any lawyers out there to comment as I am not one.

Iggypop

If u terminate their contracts i think u would've to pay the value of their remaining contracts.terminating a player on a long term contract costs a lot of money.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:29:40
Allen for Spearing
Borini for Kuyt

I've just gone and let all the tyres down on Dan Agger's
car, just in case Man City come in again today with stupid money. He's going nowhere!

Good work can you make sure charlie adams car is in full working order please dont want any hitches

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:28:26
Really cant believe we (lfc) have got no transfer funds??? 7 mil Dempsey get him!!If weve been offered Damiao Get him!....things not good if we cant afford a 7 mil player!!

I do not think that is the case, since buying Andy Carrol we have become "The people who will pay anything" therefore if they sit there and say that they have no money they will at least have half a chance of getting targets at the correct price instead of the "morons" price

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:28:13
Liverpool have made an offer for Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge. Leandro Damiao, Roberto Soldado and Fernando Llorente other alternatives

Hi Eds, been quiet for a few months but any legs left in Alonso coming back as the 'Surprise Signing' people talk of?

Cheers {Ed052's Note - no}

When will it end?!!

Is there any chance of us signing a new keeper from anywhere? Would quite like Al Habsi or Vorm...? {Ed052's Note - no}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:20:14
Bayer Leverkusen have just announced that they have an option to buy 18-year-old German forward Samed Yesil back from Liverpool "if certain conditions are met".

Eds, any idea on what 'conditions' need to be met. it would be a shame if he turns out to be top player then we have to lose him?

thanks
Marc {Ed052's Note - no, we are not sure. no need to worry about them thought, until they are closer}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:17:40
Just saw Daniel Sturridge and Clint Demspey having a coffee in the cafe in John Lennon Airport, obviously just waiting for the call

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:17:04
Dempsey looks defo - is it enough!?

NS {Ed052's Note - he should come yes}

BR does not want dempsey and has led y'all on a merry dance

His real target is ???

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:27:10
Does anyone remember a few years back when we sold Baros to Villa. We had agreed a fee with Lyon (I think) that was about £3 million higher than Villa were prepared to pay, But Baros didnt want to leave the PL and hence we were forced to sell to Villa for a lower fee.

Well, I hope we do something similar now with Dempsey. It seems he is really holding out for a move to us, so why not leave a cheeky bid in (say £3 million) and let him force the move.

Would be nice to see us turn somebody over in the transfer market for once instead of continually being mugged.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:27:00

31 Aug 2012 12:03:33
We've let go

Carroll
Kuyt
Maxi
Bellamy
Spearing
Adam

And replaced with

Borini
Allen
And two unknowns.

Come on owners, get your wallets out.

Dan

This could turn out to be the worst squad (or thinest) we have had for years.

Unless we bring in at least 2 main strikers, a CM and a LB we are really going to struggle to cope with injuries/suspensions etc.

For me BR has forced out AC and others and has not got suitable replacements. Last minute panic buying usually ends up with us paying over the odds or gettinginferior targets to the original plan.
We really need to sort out our transfer dealings in future.

Nuri sahin unknown

So we have got rid of 3 old men and 3 donkeys and we have replaced them with :-Samed Yesil,Nuri Sahin,Oussama Assaidi,Joe Allen and Fabio Borini. We also ar now letting youth through into the first team starting XI, which can only be a hugh step in the right direction. So if you were a "cup half full" sort of person you could look at Adam Morgan,Raheem Sterling,Sebastian Coates etc... as NEW players for us. If we could add Dempsey and Sturridge and an attacking LWB(is downing really the answer?) our squad will be pretty amazing!!

Loving the way BR has stamped his mark on the squad already, very excited by his signings so far, even your so called "unknowns", I can't wait to see Assaidi rip defences to pieces :D

Chin up Dan, its not all doom and gloom, andy Carrol belongs at a team like west ham where they will throw bombs up to him all day long, its a shame really cos he won't learn anything new by playing under sam allerdyce!

None oe the players you have mentioned fill me with confidence that they can score 20+ goals.

Sahin is on loan and therefore needs replacing next summer, Dempsey is aging and therefore also an "old man" and will need replacing, CARRA and Gerrard also according to your standards "old men" and need replacing next summer. Given that we had to sell before we could buy this year, we will be no further forward next year

Oh if you are that worried I will pack in the ciggys and have a run out if you want

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:02:43
Is Doni back in Brazil for family reasons?
Pacheco to Villareal?
All gone quiet over Walcott?
Cole?!
Sturridge?
Leandro?

Gonna be an exciting 11 hours!!

dmedly

No its not, unfortunately apart from Dempsey i think were struggling to bring targets in.
getting rid of Carroll huge mistake.

^^^ Miserable Sod!

31 Aug 2012 12:02:13
hi eds everyone's saying we're gonna pull off a major marquee signing what do you think? is there a possibility? {Ed019's Note - You never know}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 12:01:50
Dempsey is a legend for hanging on. He could of got off to villa easy, but he is determined to play for LFC


LEGEND

Are you going to Drop Joe Allen then
When he gets here.

Move on.

What about taking unattached Ryan Babel back. I know he wasn't a big success in his last spell but BR's system might suit him as he's quick and strong.. {Ed052's Note - no}

Strong babel?

A gust of wind from merkels knickers would top him over

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:57:48
do the eds think we will try to get Lisandro Lopez {Ed052's Note - I am hearing the rumours}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:57:06
PLEASE, please, please let it NOT be true we want to sign Daniel Sturdige!
He is THE most selfish player in the history of football!! He is so full of himself it is beyond belief. Why oh why are we trying to sign him. My best mates are chelsea fans and spoke to one of them earlier and was told him along with Bosingwa are the 2 players cheslea fans want to see LEAVE chelsea the MOST. Why is he good enough for us if he is not good enough for chelsea. I have been fairly happy with our buys so far and Rogers but this I am really not sure about. Strikes me of desperation. The kid has talent, no question about that but he is far from a team player, fairly lazy so I am told and wants the glory all to himself. I am told he was referred to recent by a scathing attack in the media by Frank Lampard about young overpaid chelsea youngsters who don't play for the team, have an attitude and think they have arrived on the big stage because of their big purse...Google it! If Lucas is out why can't we get a holding defensive midfielder!? I really like Joe Allen but he is more of a great passer that a great holding midfielder and we need one of them otherwise believe me we will leak goals every game! We also need a quality central defence cover as carra is making far too many mistakes and cant really on quates just yet! I can go on but will stop here....for now!
Mike

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:55:14
It may of been scrappy last night but we won and we will probably be playing a team in the outer reaches of Siberia but what worries me is Suarez is greedy and if you watch him he likes to take everyone on and dosent pass ok he scored last night but he could of passed a few times and put the game to bed earlier but he likes to create chances for himself and fails mostly so is he really a creator,maybe off a rebound and i think stevie is struggling or his heart aint in it no more he just dont seem the same player maybe we should rest him a while and suarez and see how the team would do -DRIBBLES-

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:54:52
what is it about sturridge? seems he has been linked with us ever since torres left, why do we seem to have a compulsive addiction to having a weak strike force?
jack {Ed052's Note - hah, i am not sure}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:54:16
I think now, my opinion, Dempsey definite, Sturidge likely and 1 maybe 2 shocks that nobody saw coming, other then that it will be a quiet day!!!!!!!!!

Dempsey has rejected Villa ,he wants to join Liverpool ,Adam having medical at Stoke,Spearing gone to Bolton on a season long loan . Ant

Just leaves cole to get rid of

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:51:09
So fulham have signed Richardson from sunderland the supposed lightweight in the Dempsey deal, i personally think the Dempsey deal was done and dusted a few days ago fulham have just tried to look like they were in control of it

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:51:03
at least the blondie on the fitness singles has bin brought in for transfer deadline day...dave d

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:50:48
We've been offered Leandro Damia for a set fee of £13m if we should want to make a deal permanent at the end of a season long loan that would cost us £3m. Seems a steal! Can any of the Eds confirm this? Many thanks.

£16m yes thank you. natural goal scorer with feet or head, fast, direct and good price if its true.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:48:58
Why would city want to buy David Villa? They got more strikers than you could shake a rubbishty stick at? That club is turning into a Rest Home.

If they sell edin then they might want to sign another striker

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:48:27
Hi Eds, great job. Just a couple of questions, what's the situation with Walcott and do you think Lorente would be a possibility? Thanks {Ed019's Note - Same as before, very low}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:47:16
My source (who predicted Borini and Sahin deals) told me that we're pursuing deals for Dempsey, along with Llorente and Sturridge. Worst case scenario is Michael Owen on a pay-as-you-play. Yes seriously. *facepalm*

Well that would mean no pay for Owen then.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:45:18
A lot of rumours going around today, liverpool apparently coming to an agreement with bolagna over a deal for gaston ramirez, a loan deal costing a few million and then an option to buy for 12-14 million, also rumours of charlie adam leaving for stoke after a medical hes having this morning, this money along with the spearing money will give funds for dempsey, liverpool look set to match aston villas 7 million pound bid and dempsey preferes a move to the reds, after the shock of us loaning carrol to west ham, the targets being lined up are, sturridge walcott llorente and apparently leandro damioa, personaly i see this only happening if we bid 30 million, never will he come in on loan and aspecialy for a end of season buy for 13 million, with walcott singing a new deal, it looks more likely that sturridge will join, if not lets hope Macca can shed light on this but i think its obvious after the hearts game we need a proper CF i would love llorente i think with the amount of possession and chances we creat we will break into the top four, bring on the gunners! YNWA!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:44:15
Eds/Macca what happening with the Walcott situation? Its all went very quiet with regards to that.
Are the likliest signings today just Dempsey and Sturridge? I ask because we are very light up front! {Ed019's Note - Walcott is still a possibility}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:44:03
could lisandro lopez be our suprise signing been hearing his name being mentioned recently? heard anything eds?


kopite12 {Ed019's Note - No}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:44:00
ed i cant believe we have no money to spend!! i know dalglish wasted it but come on we must av a spare 25 million for a striker?

redlips

A spare 10% of the clubs entire yearly turnover. Do you have any idea of the value of money 25 million spare.

I'll let you off because you must under the age of 11

Lyndon

I wish the club would spare me 25m that is a huge sum of money, don't think its there just lying around, unless the invited the city owners round for tea

Iam 72 mate

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:43:54
Hi eds, slightly off topic but read that Leverkusen can resign yesil if certain stipulations met. Do you know what they are?

Misschinandlerbong {Ed019's Note - Not sure}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:43:06
Champaigne is in the fridge lads,
going to pop it once Joe Coal move is confirmed.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:46:07
Gutted to see Carroll leave. He deserved a chance to fight for his place. But we must move on. I don't want Sturridge. Huntellar would be good

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:42:28
Ed - What's your best bet?

Dempsey and Sturridge?

E-O {Ed052's Note - Dempsey, The Sturridge deal doesn't seem ture. I did say it was only unconfirmed, and we cannopt get any more on it - so it seems less liekly}

Keep putting a comment in none getting through.yossi benayoun could be on is way back.were rubbish first time round can't get a game.now were good enough again. {Ed063's Note - He will not be mate}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:42:27
Leverkusen have an option to buyback Samid Yesil if certain conditions are met... why have we paid 1million for a rising star if he can potentially leave at a later date? This is ridiculous! Not happy with how we are conducting business

Well it will still be his choice whether to stay or go back

It probably a deal that would see us get a rubbish load of money. so win, win if they decide they want to buy him back.

contracts are two way thing, both parties would have to benefit from it.

As long as he's under contract he's our player. Don't see the problem

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:42:15
with sturridge being in monaco if a loan deal had been done yesterday surely he wouldn't be out there? {Ed052's Note - Yes, I know that I said it looked likely, but I did say these were UNCONFIRMED reports. It nows seems very strange and we can not get any conformation about the deal. Therefore, it is seeming less likely. However, this oculd cahnge}

Ok thanks for keeping us informed!

How can he be in Monaco Aren't they are playing at Chelsea Tonight in the UEFA Supa Cup? or is that being played in Monaco? If so Why?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:36:24
Huntelaar outside airport as was said earlier
Andy heaton posted it on twitter

Who knows??

31 Aug 2012 11:35:30
On the train to Liverpool in the first class section from London. There are no players or men in black agents to report. I did spot two choppers around Birmingham so I assume one was Charlie Adam and the other one was for Clint Dempsey.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:35:23
Eds can't we just loan the entire Man City team and win the PL?
we can send them all back again next season once we have the champs league. Good plan? {Ed052's Note - why not?}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:35:17
Clint Dempsey rejects Villa move, wants to come to LFC (a website)

ooking unlikely for Liverpool FC to sign him at this moment..

Hi eds

i dont know anyone at liverpool< im not gerrards stepdad but ive heard we have approached Olympique Lyonnais about the avaliability of lisandro lopez!

redkop9

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:39:22
A lot of crazy rumours going around today. Woke up very excited!! I just thought i'd throw this out there, as everyone else is mentioning names. There may be a slim chance. So a question for Ed's Could the new signing be me? (random LFC fan is Spain)....so excited for your response!!

Great attempt at being funny mate :) In England we say 'facepalm'. Good effort!

YNWA! (Adam)

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:38:51
Got to say I love this website. Great job done by the eds again during the transfer window. Anyway anybody know what the press conference is going to be about at 2. Just seen on sly sports Dempsey Wants the Liverpool move wondered if it could be about that.

Arsenal pre-match conference.

It's about Sunday's Arsenal game.

Ed do you think we are still in with a shout of getting Walcott

Thanks dave {Ed019's Note - Oui

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:38:15
Ed, if Dempsey and Sturridge sign, would that be it, or could there be more? {Ed019's Note - depending on departures

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:33:24
Ed52 this was always a great site but you have made it even better. Love the fact that you reply as often as you do, make honest comments and create that extra buzz. Going to be a super day for Liverpool. Keep up the great work. {Ed052's Note - Thank Ed001 not me}

Fully agree. Love your work Ed052

cozinoz {Ed052's Note - thanks}

You are a legend.

Hope for three good players today

31 Aug 2012 11:32:07
Lol. I saw some guy before shared some wikipedia page where it said Bastos was going to LFC. Now go on Bastos' wikipedia page and click on the liverpool fc bit.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:30:10
Official from the website - Fee agreed with Stoke, medical and personal terms to follow. Good luck Charlie, shame it didnt work out. There must not be any excuse for Liverpool to swoop in for Dempsey now!!

He'll need good luck

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:30:02
Hi eds

Heard a few rumours of Owen returning on a short term deal any truth in this

jar {Ed052's Note - no}

To sell hot dogs outside the ground

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:28:21
Quick round up at the start- ed's if you can correct me on anything

Outs:
spearing (loan) - Bolton
Charlie Adam - 4m - stoke
Joe cole - rejected - Moscow


Ins
Dempsey - looking likely
Sturridge - unconfirmed loan deal done. {Ed052's Note - looking more and more done}
Llorente - interest is there lack of funds{Ed052's Note - and he probz wouldn't want to come}
Lleandro Diamao - unconfirmed - loan offered through agent{Ed052's Note - maybe, more when we hget it}

Kind regards


The southern red {Ed052's Note -

Cheers ed52, I don't blame llorente he has the pick of any club pretty much.

Forgot Walcott any advancement on liverpool having interest.

I am expecting a signing which comes out of the blue today looking forward to it

Kind regards

The southern red {Ed052's Note - thanks}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:21:45
Latest.. Harry Redknapp signs Michael Owen as a utility player....washing up or mowing the lawn !

I happen to believe this.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:21:45
Dempsey told villa he s no interest in joining them . Wants to join us.

Jersey red

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:21:39
Is gaston Ramirez still possible ?edd
Bazman {Ed052's Note - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO}

So there's still a slim chance then..... :)

Are you sure about that Ed? {Ed052's Note - yesssssssssssssssss}

Respek Ed052!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:21:32
Ed 052 are u on your own editing this page today? That's a bit much for one man isn't it, thought there was a couple of u fellow reds editing on here?
Dempsey, sturridge and a top class centre forward will do me, loan or permanent.
Keep up the good work lads great site

Cheers
G.P {Ed052's Note - Yes mate, but its fine, I can leave the other pages to other Ed's. Ed001 is a star though. When you next see him, give him a big shout out mate}

Will do mate, you're doing a great job. Lets hope u still have some hair left after answering endless stupid and repeated posts


Cheers
G.P {Ed052's Note - haha}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:21:30
Rumours in Spain say llorente or villa will
Be leaving for merseyside, my cousin in Barcelona works for a sports report team. {Ed052's Note - Villa might go to City. We know Llorente may go}

Take them both:

Villa Llorente Suarez

We'd slap teams silly, even if Villa is only 85% of what he was we'd still have a player. His runs into the box are awesome.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:21:20
If that chelsea reject comes anywhere near Liverpool then BR can just do1 back to swansea.

We're not in for Torres

I am not the greatest fan of Sturridge, But if BR see's something he likes in him, then I am 100% behind BR. He hasn't gone wrong in Allen and Borini so far

This is one of the many benefit's behind loaning him first. If he is arrogant and selfish as we know he can be, then we have no financial ties to the player apart from paying the % of his wages

Higgs

I feel that managers will always make a mistake or two in terms of signing players. If Sturridge signs, then i for one will support him, even though i think he's a dire.

If Rodgers thinks he can do good work with Daniel Sturridge then let him try it, if it doesn't work, which i don't think it will. Then we can move on. I don't want to shackle a good young manager with good ideas and a positive philosophy.

No doubt Sturridge is a so-so player, but Rodgers obviously thinks he can work with him.

I remember similar posts about allen, look at him now!!

Good to see you'll give the lad a chance to shine. Lets not forget he was a city reject first so we should boo him twice as much hey?!
Sometimes i wonder why people spend so much time worrying and hating for no reason
TSB

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:21:09
gona miss all this when the window shuts.big thanks to all the eds for everything yous do.cheers

eire red {Ed052's Note - welcome}{

How can some one click disagree to this

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:19:56
Aston Villa have cooled interest in Dempsey as they believe player wants a move to liverpool. He will be signed after the Adam departure is official.

RedKopite

Adam departure has been made official

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:18:23
Just an update on all transfers out to date and the saving in £'s for the club

OUT. IN.

Aquilani 80k. Borini 50k
Kuyt 70k. Allen. 60k
Aurelio 40k. Sahin 40k (paying only 30% of his wage
Carroll 80k. £120k a week in loan
Adam 55k. agreement - total loan deal
Spearing 35k. 2 million
Bellamy 50k.
Maxi 60k
Darby
Amoo
Hatch

Suarez and Skrtle both signed contract extensions, with this in mind the club have saved over £250k a week on wages so far from the end of last season.

If we can sell Cole who is on 100k a week then the club will have had a fantastic transfer window.

With possibly 2-3 players coming in today the wage bill will still have been reduced significantly. This is how FSG operate good times ahead with a stronger squad and better first 11.

Curled1

Saving 250k a week is £13m a year. That is a lot of money.

RedKopite

Agree completely. It is not just the fee but the wages. The fees can be recovered in future sales. I believe FSG will provide money for fees as long as wage bill is reducing.

Saving £250k a week pays Cole and Carra to warm the bench

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:17:49
Ed052 brilliant you said dempsey was going to turn villa down haha let me no who were gunna sign love this day {Ed052's Note - Sturrdige loan and Dempsey, at least I hope}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:16:43
not transfer related, but any idea why sahin didnt feature last night, thought it would have been a good warm up for the arsenal game

john {Ed052's Note - not eligable in time}

Sahin and Assadi are ineligible until the group stages of the Europa cup, due to their registration not being facilitated within the given time period due to them arriving so late.

Just one of those things.

Assaidi played for Heerenvenn so is cup tied for the whole tournament

Ben

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:16:43
Dempsey turned down villa to come Liverpool,he will join with Sturrigge and huntellar but agger is staying and Walcott is not going anywhere.

Huntelaar isn't moving , he's over the moon with 0S4 signing Affelay.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:16:34
Adam to Stoke - fee agreed

SJ

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:15:26
Villa have made a new bid for Charlton midfielder Dale Stephens, maybe Clint Dempsey has knocked Villa's advances back and they've switched targets?

It's all change at the moment. {Ed052's Note - Dempsey said no - I told oyu this 2 hours ago}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:15:19
eds have all these rumors about huntelaar actually true or is it all just people hoping! lol anyway cant really see it myself but it would be brill! whats ur opinion eds?? {Ed052's Note - no, it is false}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:14:12
dempsey saying he only wants to come to liverpool, unlucky villa!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:10:15
Stoke have confirmed a fee has been agreed with Liverpool over the sale of Charlie Adam, he is at the Stoke stadium currently agreeing personal terms and to undergo a medical. This is from the Stoke website.

Does anybody know the fee?

Dan. {Ed052's Note - £4m}

I think the bonuses include a 10% discount at Greggs.

More like KFC looking at Adam.

Or macdonalds

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:10:14
Stoke City have confirmed that they have agreed a fee with Liverpool over the signing of Scottish international Charlie Adam. Their website says: "The 26-year-old midfielder is currently at the Club's Clayton Wood Training Ground for discussions over personal terms and to undergo a medical." {Ed052's Note -

hi Eds please post
is all this Bastos business just bs or has it got some legs
thanks
great site
Scousered {Ed052's Note - no, we dont think so, it is so hard to keep up with thought}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:08:19
Here ed,
All these season-long loans....is this FSG's way of saying to Brendan "its CL or bust mate" ?
Qualify, and you can keep your Sahins & Sturridges. Fall short, and Andy & Jay are back ?
Icky {Ed052's Note - No, Brendan has always liked loans. It is a good way to get in good players cheaply (although I do not rate Sturridge)}

Amen Ed, Sturridge is mediocre at best. {Ed052's Note -

Another striker that needs too many chances to score...

Sturridge has technical ability if Rodgers thinks he can get the best out of him and improve his decision making then lets hope he surprises us on the field
TSB

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:07:35
as i said yesterday carroll would go to west ham adam to stoke,dempsey WILL join today and beleive it or not Lorentte in a similar move to carrolls at west ham loan with option to buy, WATCH THIS SPACE
AC CARROLL

Llorente is on last year of contract..bilbao would never loan him out fool

CyprusRed {Ed052's Note - well Chelsea will loan Sturridge to us who has 1 year left on his deal}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:06:41
a web site are reporting that Aston Villa have ended their interest in Dempsey after he told them that he wants to sign Liverpool.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:06:37
so its sturridge on loan, maybe dempsey to sign if we scrape 7m together, and thats it guys, not very ambitious afterall

ken {Ed052's Note - those two, and I would say one or two more stikll}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:04:24
Babelcopter has just passed Runcorn-Widnes bridge ..........

Just seen it hovering over Hale village ......... Seems to have lost all sense of direction ........

Yeh, he's signing for Altrincham - about his level these days...

Red Nick {Ed052's Note - What did I say haha}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:04:15
Aston Villa have cooled their interest in Dempsey, as it has been made clear to them that he only wants LFC move!

dmedly

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:03:58
Hi all,
Liverpool will sign players unexpected today !
Dempsey and Huntelaar or Llorente wil definately sign and watch out for a cheeky loan bid for David Villa, If Dempsey doesn't sign , we will either sign both Huntelaar and Llorente or we will get Leandro Damiao, Damiao is a 3rd option, Back Up !

YWNA<
Make sure to watch the press conference today, he will announce two signings and then possibly one in the last few hours of the window.! No Walcott which isn't bad!

RedManAusE.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:01:47
Eds, really sorry if this has been asked already, please disregard it if it has, but do you still think Dempsey will sign for us? I really hope so we need someone like him. I don't feel either way about Sturridge, I really hope he won't prevent Sterling playing a regular part this season? {Ed052's Note - yes, I should think Demspey will. I said 2 hours ago he would rejkect Villa. He has made it known he only wants to come to us}

Thank you Ed, great job you have been doing these last few days, make sure you have yourself a few beers and a holiday when the window closes! Haha! {Ed052's Note - welcome - no mate, back to work, this is my holiday!!}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:01:39
Villa have cooled on Dempsey deal as they suspect player prefers Liverpool

 

 

31 Aug 2012 11:00:00
can the ed,s give us fans an update on how you see the day pannin out please. {Ed052's Note - a few signings, including Dempsey and Sturrodge on loan. Then another, maybe 2 permanent signings. We may be in line for another shock loan move, but I doubt it'll be Damiao}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:59:43
leandro damiao on loan with option to buy sound like the biggest load of rubbish but would be a feet signing think BR should be backed with one big buy this window

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:59:20
Dempsey says no to Aston villa as he wants LFC move! Go get him Rodgers!

Thanks {Ed052's Note - You dont say!!}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:58:57
Eds love this site I was just wondering if you could tell me why we have not signed Dempsey when the player wants to come surely we have 7 million? {Ed052's Note - we will soon}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:58:48
Hi eds
Are we still after a left back or do we see downing as suitable cover?
Thanks
A {Ed052's Note - Downing is left back option now}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:58:32
Liverpool now favourites to sign Clint Dempsey after the striker says he wants to move to Anfield and not Villa Park. {Ed052's Note - said this about 2 hours ago!!!}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:57:55
Clint Dempsey...what a legend, told villa he wants to play for Liverpool!! What more can we ask for, class player who wants to play for us.

Kop of the South

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:57:49
Just seen Col Mustard, in the kitchen..with a candle stick !

Roll on midnite.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:57:41
Boy you Eds are good you said Dempsey only wants to sign for us Just confirmed on SSN much respect {Ed052's Note - haha, thanks mate - so people please believe what we say hours before other rubbish news sources!! haha}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:57:34
: Dempsey has refused to go to Villa as he has stated he wants to join Liverpool. Subsequent Villa interest has been ended and they are after Christian Benteke from Genk. All that is left is for Liverpool to reach a compromise with Fulham and Dempsey should be signed in the coming hours.
DAni

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:57:29
Ed & Reds
I wanted to make the case for Jay Spearing a bit. Some of the players that BR does not fancy are getting a bit of gyp on here, including wee Jay.
He doesn't deserve that. He's been nothing but a loyal servant, over the reigns of several managers, for LFC. Played when told, and gave his best.
Now, suddenly, he's told "sorry Jay, we don't need you now."
I feel a bit for him tbh. But that's the other side to the coin. Being told yr unwanted by the club you love. Imagine how any of us would feel if faced by that.
So give it a rest with the verbals pls.
Icky

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:56:57
Hi Eds,

Would be great if you can give us all an hourly update as to what you believe is happening.

Clearly there are going to be enquiries for players that most of us not ITK but if any of the rumours surrounding some of the following have any truth be that players going out or in it would be good to get your insight.

Updates on:
Dempsey
David Villa
Llorente
Sturridge
Bastos
shurrle
Huntelaar
Lennon
Walcott
Joe cole
Henderson

Would be fantastic if you can advise if:
Unlikely
Possible
Nailed on

Many thanks hope you post this.

Red Nick {Ed052's Note - Sorry we dont have time. I only just have enough time to keep uop with all the updates, and getting information for you all}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:55:44
YES jay spearing gone
Charlie Adam as good as gone
Just need Cole, Pacheco and Danny wilson (Loan or perm) to move on and I am overjoyed.

Add downing and henderson

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:54:42

Leandro damiao offered to us 3 mil loan fee with option to buy of 13 mil at the end of the season

Why has neither John W. Henry or Tom Werner chartered a jet out to Brazil yet?

If that is what this supposed offer is, I'd snap their hands off!

"Former Liverpool and Celtic player Kenny Dalglish has said that Babel has the ability to terrorise defenders in the Premier League with his pace and trickery with the ball"

Kenny has a great eye for a player

Hey eds - what if any, would be the update on either jovetic or ilicic joining the reds? {Ed052's Note - no chance of wither}

As I pass into advanced middle age , I am also hoping for no chance of wither ........

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:53:17
sturridge is not the striker we need a finisher.
both wing backs are attackminded in BR system,we need a player like lliorente or huntelaar,1 in the box that will make the ugly goals.
if we cant buy 1 this summer we should get 1 on loan to make top 4.
klose would be a good player getting old but might get us were we wanr to be and next season we buy 1.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:52:32
Twitter is going to be fun(ny) today. Latest out of the pack - we've been offered Damiao on a season-long loan (£3m) with a option to buy at £13m next year.

Liverpool FC
On 31/08/2012 and after failing the previous day to negotiate a fee plus player deal that included Joe Cole, English Premier League Team Liverpool made an approach to sign Bastos for a fee in the region of 14 Million. Bastos is set to travel to England for a medical with a view to signing a 3 year contract.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:46:07
can anybody confirm about Sturridge please? if we get him on a season long loan - isn't his contract up at Chelsea next summer anyway {Ed052's Note - We have already said that it looks like a season long loan for him}

Hi Eds, could you confirm about the lastest news regarding Dempsey, are we fav to sign him? {Ed052's Note - should be but Arsenal and SPurs may be getting involved}

Eds,

What are the chances of us still gettin Dempsey ?

Also who else are we in the mix for ? {Ed052's Note - good, a few people, such as Sturroidge who should come on loan}

 

 

{Ed052's Note - Spearing Loan - season long to Bolton}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:39:43
Ed do you think we might try and sign Walcott sturridge and Dempsey or is all 3 out of the question

Cheers

31 Aug 2012 10:37:55
Very disappointing news is that we will not be signing anyone now in this window. Looked so promising with Dempsey, Walcott, Huntelaar, and Sturridge rumours, but we will not be signing anyone.

Will need Borini to settle in quickly or else we could struggle.

I've just had a bad dream that Andy Carroll went to West Ham ON LOAN - surely this cannot be true?

Yes, we should've kept him to start less than one game in three and come on for 20 minutes now and then as our 'plan B'. All the time declining in value and confidence until we release him to Newcastle on a free in a few years time.

That would've been a much better idea.

- Something Red -

I had a bad dream that we spent 35 million on him..

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:32:09
Ed052, are we still faviourites to land dempsey and do you expect us to place a bid for him, really don't see aston villa that much better than fulham. Also do you expect liverpool to sign 1 of llorente, huntelaar or walcott or are they just fake rumours. And is it going to be a busy day with players coming in? {Ed052's Note - Not sue, UNCONFIRMED interest from Arsenal and Spurs}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:32:05
Anything on Leandro Damiao?

It's a twitter rumour, but a couple of journo's have mentioned it.

Loan fee of £3 mil initially and option to buy in 12 months for £13 mil.

Would be a very good signing, but seems unlikely as they were demanding well over £20 mil, the last time I heard.

Papa G {Ed052's Note - Unlikely by far}

Wikipedia states the following:

I would be buzzing if we got him!

I hope this is true as I've asked numerous of times of his availability think he's a class player

Bangor eye dave

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:28:26
Apparently we were after Adam Johnson - he went to Sunderland.
Apparently we were after Dempsey - it looks like he is going to Villa or Sunderland.
I remember when we used to attract players - not now.

We didn't make an offer to Adam Johnson. We havent made an offer for dempsey .
Big difference when theres no offer on the table.

I know what you're saying, I mean now we can only attract the likes of Luis Suarez, Sahin that average Midfielder Joe Allen.....

Seriously....come on are you actually a Liverpool supporter with ridiculous statements like that.

Al

If these players choose to go to these clubs over us, let them go with best wishes. Adam Johnson has well publicised attitude problems, think we dodged a bullet there personally. As for Dempsey, I really don't think he would choose Villa with the current state they're in. We will see but I imagine he'll be a liverpool player by tonight.
Just stop whinging and enjoy the ride!

The captain

Apparently we were after Fabio Borini and we got him.

Apparently we were after Nuri Sahin and we got him.

Apparently we were after Joe Allen...

Get the point, yet?

- Something Red -

In dempsey's case we attracted him alright,fulham are just acting stubborn.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:26:29
Oh no. Downing is happy at Liverpool and is willing to fight for his place at left -back. Surely not.

It could be the making of him...

Marshy

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:26:21
Still believe Dempsey will arrive regardless of Aston Villa's bid, Personal Terms too and he want's to play for us, expect us to match the bid when Adam and Spearing are confirmed out.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:26:13
Wiki says fee agreed for michel bastos.....i know even i can edit wiki.....but just letting it be known.....any truth eds?

YNWA {Ed052's Note - NO}

I find it difficult to even start to believe we would bid 14M for a 29 year old who has peaked and at a lower level than we require. Even if he is Brazilian.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:25:54
Now a journo says we have been offered Leandro Damiao for 3 million loan fee + 15 milliion option to buy.
ITS GETTING CRAZY
also Eds do you expect j.cole to move on today. If not perm on loan ? {Ed052's Note - Cole could move}

Dont worry about aston villas bid having accepted by Fulham. I have 100% source near dempseys family convincing that his only hope is be LFC player at the end of the window

Villa boss Paul Lambert is apparently unaware of any possible deal for Dempsey so he is holding out for a red move

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:09:09
a website says a fee has been agreed with Dempsey, but Lambert says he was unaware of any deal between the clubs. Strange one. {Ed052's Note - it is, a fee has been agreed thought}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:07:31
Sam Allerdyce says that West Ham have signed a Striker who scores goals and creates chances.

So they have obviously signed someone other than Andy Carroll then....

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:05:05
Ed 052, you said earlier something like this " Dempsey plus other/another 15plus goals player will come in", do you know of a certain player that is coming but just cant say?.Just a yes or no will do if it puts you in an awkward position. Thanks eds for your efforts over the transfer season. Edsred. {Ed052's Note - it is what we beleive and expect yes. We may have news soon}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:03:45
Hi Eds,

You've never posted my texts, but please respond to this. Now that Fullham have accepted a bid from AVFC for Dempsey, does that mean it's the end, or does Dempsey have the right to refuse and insist on joining LFC? I appreciate your works!

AshRed {Ed052's Note - He will probably reject them}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:04:40
Hi eds are Liverpool going to sign anyone on deadline day {Ed052's Note - Yes,}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:03:28
Shame pacheco on way out. Was his attitude poor cos he felt he should have played more?
Didn't Suso complain and was then punished somehow (dropped from team).
Someone needs to get close to these kids cos they are talented.
Suso is fantastic and a great passer of the ball.
He should play some games this season before he gets it into his head that we don't care about him.

Stevie oh gee

There are obviously things behind the scenes we dont know

Omg how do stanley have that much money?

31 Aug 2012 10:02:14
Fulham agree fee with Aston Villa for Dempsey, not looking promising for us.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 10:01:09
Do we have the cash for Sturridge or not and why loan him and not buy him?

Wish we would of loaned A C

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:59:14
Eds Please Please tell me Sturridge rumours have no legs, I can't believe we would get rid of Carroll to bring in this unproven substitute. Rodgers wants to "improve the group" how will this lad do this? If and please god no he does arrive in some capacity, hopefully another proven goalscorer comes also. (and thats plus Dempsey)

IRISH RED. {Ed052's Note - We're not sure. We didn't believe so and Ed002 is away, she's/he's the one to ask}

31 Aug 2012 09:54:30
I am much more comfortable with the thought of Sturridge coming in on loan rather than a permanent transfer. It will give us a proper look at him and he will be more motivated by being in the shop window! My gut feeling is he will be successful but we won't pay the ask down the line so it will come down to the player and I don't think he'll stay! Ged

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:57:13
Stewart Downing is happy at Liverpool and willing to fight for a place in the team at left-back, having played there during the Europa League second-leg against Hearts. "I have said to him [manager Brendan Rodgers] if he wants me to play at left-back or on the wing I am not bothered," said Downing. "As long as I play and do well, and the team do well, that is the main thing. It is a squad game. You are going to use everyone and if I am needed at left-back I am happy to do that." well Stewies staying then

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:56:27
Good morning eds, a quick question if I may
Do you think that BR does have cash available but a game being played out that there are no funds so not to e taken to the cleaners on transfer fees like last season?
And do you expect possible signings to be purchases or loan deals?
Many thanks and good luck today,I'm sure I speak on behalf of all reds that your work is much appreciated
Boofs bro {Ed052's Note - yes, he has a little bit of money. More will be avaliable as players leave}

Eds a bunch of sources, including the BBC, are reporting Dempsey to Villa. Any truth? {Ed052's Note - Yes, but we dont think he will go there. I dont think he wants to play in the Championship for the rest of his career}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:53:33
How can you say we played badly last night? We obv couldnt be arsed and just closed it out by passing around. Then after that unfortunate mistake we showed we can step it up when necessary and score!

Thats a good way to put it

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:51:18
Surely we need to buy a striker otherwise if we loan Sturridge he will not be available in two crucial games against Chelsea.
KernowRed

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:50:57
At the moment it's looking like just Sturridge on loan.

Can this stuff about a Villa bid for Dempsey accepted really be true EDs?! A real shame if we miss out on him. {Ed052's Note - Yes, Villa have a had a bid accepted. He wont go there though}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:50:57
With, Bendtner to Juve, Hunter welcoming Affelay to Schalke,

The common sense would suggest it would be llorente to liverpool.

llorente + dempsey + winger ( struddige / walcott / sumone else )

hope this works out

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:50:36
Dissapointed in us pursuing Sturridge as it makes the better players we have been linked too seem increasingly unlikely. Carroll gone, Dempsey & Sturridge on loan to replace him? That doesn't seem like much of an improvement. Rodgers has his own idea's though, I hope they can be pulled off. Interested to see if we pull off any surprises before the day is out..

SMc

p.s. Llorente definitely not happening, think Spurs are going to get him sadly

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:45:50
Ed052 would u allow Hendo to go and do u rate .

And plz go on an extended holiday after window closes u deserve it mate. u seem to work harder then kuyt.
In case u dont please make a player profile on hendo.

31 Aug 2012 09:44:42
Hi Eds not a rumour but a request for information, are any PL teams pursuing Wilfried Zaha? He was linked with us under KD and I think he represents value compared to Walcott in a similar role.

My next question is how long was the contract that Joe Cole signed in 2010? I reckon it was 3 years, if so I think he'll do another Bosman and see out his contract like he did at Chelsea! Keep up the fantastic work and drink lots of coffee. Regards GED {Ed052's Note - Not this summer no, I dont beleive. 4 Years I think, he should leave today (I hope)}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:45:43
Is it just me or hasnt Reina dropped lots of clangers recently?

He has been poor for a few seasons - needs a number 2 pushing him for his place!

Dempsey seems to be on his way to Villa, will LFC show their hand!?

31 Aug 2012 09:45:08
Aston Villa have had a bid accepted by Fulham for forward Clint Dempsey. he will reject them surly

Yeah, just because he wants to go to Liverpool doesn't mean Fulham won't accept all offers for him

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:44:23

Cant believe we have let Carroll go out on loan to West Ham, especially when Rodgers stated that he would not let him go out on loan at all.

So u want him as a bench warmer...
holy_red.

The loan fee is 2.5 mil, and they are paying ALL of his 80,000 week wages plus a future fee of 17m. Newcastles loan offer was for free hence the reaction but West Ham's makes financial sense.

QPR have beaten Liverpool to the signing of Portsmouth teenager Sam Magri. He pens a two-year-deal.

Fulham have accepted a bid from Aston Villa for Clint Dempsey. {Ed052's Note - he will not go there}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:43:18
It just shows you how far our once great club has fallen when Clint Dempsey has to choose between us and Sunderland! {Ed052's Note - No, he doesnt, he will only move to us}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:41:39
Who are the most likely targets? Dempsey and Sturridge?is there any chance of Walcott, huntelaar or Llorente coming in? {Ed052's Note - Dempsey yes - others, not too sure}

Have you ever been on this site before? Do you read any rumours? Jesus, how many times had all the ed's answered these questions!

Right- got a question - what happens if Carroll knocks in 25 goals for West Ham this season? 1. How will BR feel? 2. Do we have to sell him to West Ham? 3. Will he fit in our system then??

Thanks guys. Great site by the way, been on here everyday for the past 2 months. Enjoy the last day of craziness!!

Either way if he had stayed he wouldve jardly played and his price would have dropped.

Look on the positive side,if he scores 25 goals then maybe West Ham will be taking points off some of our rivals.He will be more use to us doing that than not playing for us and picking up his wages.
Secondly should he score 25 goals he is still our player and it might make BR review his opinions.
I hope though that the loan deal says he cant play against us!

Derek

Hope he does and wish AC well at WHU, in the right system I think he could put away 25 plus goals. But not in a ball on the floor passing team. He would not get 25 goals at Barcalona and he did'nt at Liverpool.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:37:03
Hi Eds, any truth to the rumours that we are interested in Fernando Llorente? I have a feeling its just wishful thinking {Ed052's Note - yes, but we might not even be able to raise the money for him after all}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:36:36
Told my boss i had a cold. Yea its right transfer deadline day YEAAAAHHHH ! Cant wait to see the helicopters at the training ground hope we sign Walcott and Dempsey and a new goalkeeper because pepe has butter on his gloves.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:34:15
I for one enjoyed last night's match - especially the last 30 minutes. I got the impression we were just ticking-over and then them scoring forced us to up our game which we did. Morgan is definately going to be a 5-star striker - he shows excellent positional sense and his ability to lose defenders shows. Both Shelvey and Henderson played well. Kelly was excellent. One of Downing's better games. Suarez was Suarez. Sterling was excellent when he came on as was Borini. Allen played well and Gerrard was everywhere - one of the best games he's had for a long time. Skrtel played well, Carragher a bit slow. Reina unfortunate. The project is coming along nicely. Bring on the Gunners I say. RED LENIN.

Liverpool have made an offer to take Daniel Sturridge on loan from Chelsea.

He is not wanted by every fan i have spoken to

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:31:37
hello ed,s

31 Aug 2012 09:30:06
There is a semi-confirmed rumour that Liverpool have placed marksmen on top of several buildings throughout Merseyside - these men are on the look out for the Babel-copter and have already been authorised to bring it down.

Preferably over Goodison

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:29:45
Personally and don't shoot me down but I think we need a keeper to replace Reina.

RedsMatt

I know he has had a couple of seasons below his best but lets take his clanger last night as a genuine mistake for now. With his ability with the ball at his feet i dont see there being many keepers in the world that can complement the way we are trying to play like Reina does
TSB

Would rather play Brad Jones then pepe

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:29:06
I think Michael Owen will go back to Liverpool on a two year deal also on br list is Andre santos holding midfielder for injured Lucas he didn't play in the Europa league match for sporting Lisbon

Itsn't it a bit early to be drinking? {Ed052's Note - NO MATE}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:28:54
With liverpool getting nothing for carrol or spearing and joe cole rejecting a move to moscow, liverpool have no money to spend. It is for this reason that only one signing will be made, and of course it will be a striker. Clint dempsey wont be signing for definite, it will be Daniel Sturridge on loan.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:28:15
Sturidge loan offer has been made. {Ed052's Note - so people are reporting. I'm finding out}

He is crap. Bad attitude, greedy and lacks a football brain.

Would rather have no one then have him.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:27:26
Ed's any chance of a marquee signing (relatively well known + over £15m)? Would really boost the fans!

RedsMatt {Ed052's Note - yes}

I really like the sound of that!!

With FSG it would be more like 1.5 million

This must be the worst day of these editors lives; can we all give them a massive 'clap' in advance for the work they will do today and all the time.

"clap clap clap clap"

Ben {Ed052's Note - Thanks mate}

That's the best rumour I've heard in ages. 'Ben gave the eds the clap' haha

Hasn't Ed002 already had the clap?

You have just give all the eds the clap. Someone has been busy on deadline day well done sir ;)

31 Aug 2012 09:19:32
Hi eds understand you have a manic day, u do a great job!

Just wondered if Dempsey is any closer or if someone else could come and scupper our move? I.e arsenal or spurs.

JJD {Ed052's Note - Thanks. Dempsey will sign soon, no, that shouldn't happen now}

Dempsey going to villa {Ed052's Note - Dempsey will NOT go to Villa. It may well force us to bid quicker thought}

They r reporting FULHAM to have accepted the offer from Villa. how true is that? i hope he comes to LFC..

mgz {Ed001's Note - they have accepted the offer, but that means nothing when the player doesn't want to go to Villa.}

Hi,
Just eaten a bacon sandwich, have cup of tea on the go and all ready for transfer deadline day! No work so here's hoping for a couple of decent signings. Going to be on here all day.

Also trying to figure out what fish to put in my new tropical tank! Like the look of some Galaxy Rasbora, Cherry shrimp and one other yet to be decided. Any ideas out there? Tank is only 12gallons/46litres.

Cheers, JLT. {Ed052's Note -

A blue whale should make things interesting!

I dont know about fish mate, but i really fancy a bacon sandwich and tea now! mmm...

Always liked the Flying Fox myself, but not much of a community fish as it ate all my Neon Tetra

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:15:19
All this sturridge talk is rubbish as surely he is in Chelsea squad for tonights super cup in Monaco

load of rubbish boys, sorry state of affairs if we have to offload before we can get anyone in.

So no sturridge and no Dempsey as that has gone on too long.

Last nights game was a demonstration to FSG of how much we need a finisher - come on dig deep into those American pants of yours!

Fsg have allegedly said money is on the table

If we dont get an out and out goalscorer we can forget top 4,because suarez and borini dont look like they can get them, very wasteful

But how much is on the table and are we allowed to touch it?

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:14:19
Here's hoping we dont leave it until 1030pm to do anything lol
LeeWils

I hope everything is done by about 8pm.

31 Aug 2012 09:12:11
News is Fulham have rejected an offer from Liverpool for Clint Dempsey, worth £5m plus Jordan Henderson on-loan. I reckon this one is going to go down to the wire. What do you think ed? would liverpool meet the asking price at the end? {Ed052's Note - It'll go down to the wire yes, we are on the last day or around 80, so its already down to the wire!!}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:07:29
makes sense that we will buy sturridge for £15m cash

thinkabout it from henry-esque hedge fund manager point of view rather than our irrational supporter one

Carroll is £20m asset on balance sheet noone will pay more than 12-15m for and costs 4m a season to run in wages

loan to WH you get rid of wages and receive 1m

to replace you pay 15m for sturridge and pay for this in 1y time by selling carroll

thats 1m return on 15m outlay for henry....where else in the market is he gonna get 6.66% interest!

also Carroll plays regularly and the value of your asset 1y+ increases

if stays then stays on bench loses england place and is worth 5m in 1y time

So makes sense even if we splash the cash.....thus i believe there is cash for dempsey and another 15m+ striker and i think we should stop slating BR and FSG cos this is a better bit of business than it appears.

Please, please, please Brendan get rid of Downing and Henderson - they are useless.

I agree on downing , but henderson needs to play central and often , but you have allen , gerrard, lucas, shelvey in front of him in the pecking order oh and on the useless list you can add joe cole 100k a week and he has played less than 20 games in just over a season

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:07:37
Was at the game last night and we were clueless. Its going to be like last season when we raise our game against the 'big guns' but against inferior sides (although Hearts played well) we will struggle. This tippy-tappy football is doing my head in! {Ed052's Note - We were good last night mate}

Good last night??? Seriously we were crap. We drew at home with a strong side against a poor Scottish team that had struggled to score in last 16 euro games? Seriously you need to get real because we were average beyond belief and its a joke you can't see it through rose tinted glasses.

I was at Anfield too mate and i disagree.....thought first half we were below par agreed but second we played much better...i feel with a quality striker or two we will start converting those chances!

Spoons

Bit like the fans so, only up for the big games, wasn't a peep out of the crowd last nite compared to sunday!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:06:33
Eds how many players can we expect in today? {Ed052's Note - 2}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:05:43
After last nights shocking performance bring back Andy Carroll. No one in the box for crosses at all.

Wouldn't of called it Shocking!!

What crosses were they exactly? Martin Kelly's inability to clear the first defender or Henderson's left foot swipe straight out of play? Whats the fascination with crossing the ball anyway, much more potent to get to the by-line and square the ball for oncoming players.

Ciario

Wait...you just called AC a fox in the box? Wow mate, just wow...

Sunderland to beat LFC to sign Dempsey

 

 

31 Aug 2012 09:03:58
Several reports claim Chelsea are ready to make a beat-the-deadline move for Bayer Leverkusen's Andre Schurrle which could mean they might allow Liverpool target Daniel Sturridge to leave. So if Chelski get Schurrle we get Sturridge {Ed052's Note - Schrulle looks like he will go to Chelsea. We dont know of interets in Sturridge but it could change. If Sturridge comes, it will not be a loan}

How am I supposed to work on a day like today? Anyway, let's hope today brings much joy, a few surprises and a feeling of quiet satisfaction at around 11.30pm.

All the best today, some twists and turns await us I am sure.

2 or 3 more out and the same in. Got to be a out-and-out striker, a winger and a full back for me. Of course, that mix changes depending on who goes out (e.g. if Agger goes (i hope note) then we need a Centre back).

Come on Brendan/Mr Ayre/FSG put a smile on my face and get the other teams to sit up and think, 'they mean business'.

Cheers all and good luck.

31 Aug 2012 09:00:13
Please BR..do not sign Sturridge- he is greedy, all about himself and not fit to wear the shirt. Is has to be llorente- if we can get him for 15 mil then its a no brainer to me. Anyone better than Sturridge. Dempsey in this afternoon with a shock forward to sign....u wont expect this at all...maybe a loan deal

Where has all this greedy business cone from about Sturridge? Do you know him personally mate? I don't think so.

Last night Suarez dilly-dallied on the ball and hit the post, in a similar situation a greedy striker would have smashed home a goal, Pappiss Cisse is very selfish but other fans want him; Sturridge is a pacey version of Cisse but people hate him because he is English and not as greedy as thought.

Great to hear that Henderson is not rated by Rodgers. What did Kenny see in him. Henderson goes missing from too many games. He is taking up a place in my opinion. Hope we land Dempsey and Walcott today. Not sure about Sturridge. Maybe a cheeky offer to Owen (pay as you play?)
Lots of money off the wage bill. Should free up a lot of money for quality to come in.

Henderson actually played well last night, i was dissapointed to see him leave the field

Ed, I am going to further stress and work that utterly sleep-deprived brain of yours.

BR said he didn't want a 20-goal striker when the rest of the team doesn't chip in with goals (or something like that).

I look at the squad we have..... there are only 3 capable of more than 10 goals a season ie Gerrard, Suarez, Borini. Maybe Skrtel, Henderson, Sahin, Johnson might chip in with 5 each.

Whatever signings we make today MUST have 10 goals in them, for sure?

DCsg {Ed052's Note - Yes, dont worry, Dempsey and another 15+ goals a year players will come in}

We'll need an additional 20 goals from new signings (total 70) to have a fighting chance of CL spot.

Any less, and I am afraid next year willl be Europa again.

DCsg

Ed what strikers are we looking at do you know? {Ed052's Note - Llorente, Dmepsey, Walcott}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 08:46:52
Liverpool allowed Andy Carroll to join West Ham United for the rest of this season last night and immediately launched a bid to take Daniel Sturridge on loan from Chelsea. An attempt to sign Clint Dempsey from Fulham had faltered earlier because of a lack of funds and Jordan Henderson's refusal to act as a makeweight in the proposed deal. (The Times) {Ed052's Note - Daniel Sturridge will NOT COME ON LOAN}

Taken from todays liverpool echo!

It would be a 4 year deal for Sturridge and Dempsey is edging much closer!

And it was not Hendo used as a makeweight!!!

Hi All,

Just a quick note on the game last night, I had to sit right near the Hearts fans as I was late getting a ticket(in the paddock) and I have to say the constant noise was unbelievable! (thought the stewards were a bit OTT at times) I know it is their cup final etc. but still it was impressive, it seemed like every single one of them sang!I had to laugh there was a guy in his late fifties with no top on all night leading the singing! Looked funny!

Anyway nobody seems to have mentioned Shelvey from last night, and to me along with Allen(how good is he already) were Liverpools best players. Shelvey was pinging long balls about, like Xabi used to do for fun and I cant remember any going astray, and to top it off near the end he went in for a 50-50 and there was only ever going to be one winner! He just keeps improving evry time I see him, I see a big future for him at Liverpool!
PS Reina is really starting to concern me!
John Wigan

Seems to me that Reina has lost his enthusiasm. He's won everything you could want to win on the international stage and maybe he's just happy with that.

I think he's lost his Mojo somewhere along the line but i'm sure he could get it back. A few spanish players to cheer him up would help i'm sure!

Mike in Leeds

Yeah i was there too mate, fair play to the Hearts fans they really gave it their all!...funny at the end when they were singing ''Oh Liverpool we love you''

Liverpool FC last night confirmed they had recieved and excepted a bid in the region of 5 Million for Charlie Adam.

Everton are interested and Charlie is waiting/ Hoping Everton bid that is the only minor delay happening with that transfer.

Dempsey will Arrive today very early perhaps by 4pm.

With Big Andy gone liverpool are looking for a forward to replace him.

Targets include Sturridge Llorente and Klass Jan Huntelaar. It will be none of these. Infact Liverpool are at advance stages of completing the signing of £14 Million pound David Villa

Adam > Everton is purely speculation as Adams agent is Mr Moyes, the brother of David.

That is the only reason why!

Ben

Why would we pay that much for a 30 year old, just coming back off a serous injury.

John B

Because its David Villa?!!....30 (same age as RVP) and top top quality before his injury!!...not that its going to happen mind!

Media saying that we don't have enough cash to sign Demspey but will get Sturridge on loan. I don't normally read to much into media reports but are we that stumped for cash? Really want to see Dempsey arrive today - Would appreciate any insight if eds or others have any info.

Dempsey and bojan in today. italian papers say bojan wants to olay in england with borini.

Just picked up from anfield. Admin staff. Said they were called in to work this morning to fax across an official enquiry to city with regard to Micah Richards.

31 Aug 2012 07:46:23
Trouble with most teams especially the top teams is their squads have to accomodate eleven first teamers and then another team of cover players in every position but this is not enough a lot of players are being signed for their versatility just in case of even more emergencies some players seem to be happy sitting on the bench and picking up huge sums e.g owen,berbatov,cruz and many more which means squads have large pay rolls and then find it hard to fund the first team ,i think it would be better to concentrate on just thirteen players who get great wages and all quality,players round world would then know they have an excellent chance to stay in team and then all the rest should be youth players knocking on door to get in like the old teams in 70's,this system would generate more cash for top players and at the same time save money on the payroll this would work if all outfield players bought were quality versatile players - dribbles-

 

 

31 Aug 2012 07:44:46
I can understand what alot of people are saying about Andy Carroll and why he needed to go for ours and his sake but I still wish we could of kept him and maybe worked with him, there are not many of our players that had used this tika taka style before and everybody's learning level is different. Andy Carroll didn't become a professional footballer because he couldn't play the game it was more that his style was of the seventies era which doesn't fit in with the new management. So be fair to the lad as he gave us some good moments in his time and I bet not one of you AC haters sat back in your chair and moaned when he scored against Blackburn or got us to the FA Cup Final - of which he should started given the form he was in. I know these are only 2 moments in time but I also know the price tag was not he doing.
The Andy Carroll chapter is closed, lets see who's next to walk the plank.

Trouble with most teams especially the top teams is their squads have to accomodate eleven first teamers and then another team of cover players in every position but this is not enough a lot of players are being signed for their versatility just in case of even more emergencies some players seem to be happy sitting on the bench and picking up huge sums e.g owen,berbatov,cruz and many more which means squads have large pay rolls and then find it hard to fund the first team ,i think it would be better to concentrate on just thirteen players who get great wages and all quality,players round world would then know they have an excellent chance to stay in team and then all the rest should be youth players knocking on door to get in like the old teams in 70's,this system would generate more cash for top players and at the same time save money on the payroll this would work if all outfield players bought were quality versatile players - dribbles-

I can understand what alot of people are saying about Andy Carroll and why he needed to go for ours and his sake but I still wish we could of kept him and maybe worked with him, there are not many of our players that had used this tika taka style before and everybody's learning level is different. Andy Carroll didn't become a professional footballer because he couldn't play the game it was more that his style was of the seventies era which doesn't fit in with the new management. So be fair to the lad as he gave us some good moments in his time and I bet not one of you AC haters sat back in your chair and moaned when he scored against Blackburn or got us to the FA Cup Final - of which he should started given the form he was in. I know these are only 2 moments in time but I also know the price tag was not he doing.
The Andy Carroll chapter is closed, lets see who's next to walk the plank.

morning ed's, good luck today!
if you was a millionaire and had money to burn, who would you put it on us signing today?

thanks
john {Ed052's Note - Dempsey, and the a striker. the problem is I dont know how much we have for the second player (at the minute - I will soon) so I cannot really say}

Sam eto

question With carroll gone,spearing and adam also due to depart,how many players do you expect us to sign today,as we lost a lot of players in the summer too,making the squad very thin.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 08:27:45
As long as we get Dempsey in today I can deal with whoever else arives, still really surprised nobody has gone for for Honda!? Awesome player(the perfect footballer)

Square tomato {Ed052's Note - Honda will not come}

I never said he would come ed just shocked no team has tried to push a deal through

Square tomato {Ed052's Note - Haha, so you did. Fair enough mate, only had 5 hours sleep haah}

Get the coffee on ed haha!

Good luck to AC at whu i was pretty much 50/50 on him staying lets be totally honest he hasnt performed great barring 1 or 2 games, what it also proves is LFC were not going to deal with the geordie tosh who were basically taking the proverbial with their offers and the comments made by pardew, LFC should have reported him to the FA for tapping up, anyway it wont be long before the fans are calling for his and ashleys head again!!!!!!!!!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 08:21:31
people aren't going to like this but why the hell are we going to let Adam sign for blue noses don't care if he's crap we're still strengthening a squad that is already better that ours I'm a die hard red and see them getting top 4 well before us. the we played last night was awful we tried to force the game instead of playing it simple. Gerrard would make a brilliant tackle the set off on a lung busting run then try a stupid through ball with the outside of the boot straight to a hearts defender we struggling to get out of the way we've played for so long on counter attacks even Gerrard!!!!

He's not just seen him shake tony pulis hand at stoke lol simonpw

I think Adam is going to Stoke for £4m.

Hi eds

Great site

Please post this

I personally think and im sure a lot of people think that we will sign 2 players today and they are;

sturridge will come on loan with a chance to buy or maybe he a 12.5 million pound deal will be agreed

And dempsey,a lot of speculation going around about him.we should get him for around 8-10 million pounds on around a 3 year contract.

What do you think ed?

Someone else mentioned that Sturridge is in his last year of contract. A loan deal sounds to be far fetched. Unless he signs another contract with Chelsea and comes to us on loan??

Can't be.

I was told Sturridge is in the last year of his contract, don't know if it's true but i can't see a loan deal happening if it is.

MR EM {Ed052's Note - He will not be loaned out little Daniel}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 08:09:20
Holy smok, this day is making me nervous!! Would love to get Dempsey sorted + one or two exiting surprises. Not that keen on Walcott or Sturridge, but would rather get a few international lads in...

Erik_Oslo

They are international lads

Oh God I want this day to end so I can get on with my life, the constantly checking if anyone been signed. The if's the but's the maybe's, the you'll never guess who I've just seen, the he will sign at such and such a time, the my mate knows his mate knows his dog rumours. Hang on, what am I meant to after today?

Danny.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 08:01:40
Cole, Adam and Pacheco out and Dempsey and walcott in please, that will do nicely for me today. Walcott bashers don't forget he's only 23, has champions league Experiance and is a full international, he has the ability to be our Henry and he can do it for the next 10 years. Don't want sturrige but I'll support him and give him a chance if he does come

 

 

31 Aug 2012 07:59:32
First of all! Where is Ed002 these days? Has one of the trolls upset him again? His info is always appreciated, especially today.

Next, i would be really happy with Walcott and Dempsey for today, but im guessing it might be Dempsey and a forward we havent considered. Im a bit stunned with loaning all these players out. I can understand Carroll due to lack ot buyers at the price we might want, but surely Spearing should have found a permanent club! Cole and Adam to be moved on? I do hope so! Could be an exciting day for Liverpool fans. Cheers

No surprises in Dempsey & Sturridge anything else a bonus in a decent window.
Just as important to get rid of the dead wood out

 

 

31 Aug 2012 07:21:09
Firstly, does anybody know the terms of Carroll's loan to West Ham? ie. What is the option price and what are the conditions? I only ask as in previous loans we always seem to get the brown end of the stick.

Secondly, whilst its obvious we require a goalscorer, our scouts should spend between now and the Christmas window finding a new goalkeeper. Pepe has been excellent for the club but his form over the last 18 months has been patchy at best. {Ed052's Note - 2 million fee, 17 million to make it a permanent}

I can see WHU using Carroll for a season and then saying we don't want him, IMO.

Why not, we did!

Premier league rules dictate that a loaned player can not play against his parent club

Hi eds, just want to say good game overall, with arsenal on sunday dont think we really pushed today as having lead from first leg, could have pushed it up easily a gear or two.
Hendo- played well(hes gone from right to left now lol).
kelly- sometimes gets caught out of position but makes some good runs.
morgan- should have scored today will get better.
Shelvey- bargain
downing- did well could work as cover and
against lesser teams
carra-still good for early rounds of cup games
Reina- was pleased with his distribution today, as for the blooper.... enough said.
I think the whole team played well but picked these guys out because of their critics.
Andy carroll thank you and respect but time to move on, we have work to do.

IBIMO

P.S sterling is lightweight but boy has he got defences running scared, long may it continue. {Ed052's Note - I agree with most of what you said. My MoM, was between Kelly, Hendo and the beast that is Allen}

Where we watching the same game you don't have a clue the pair of you we where terrible last night

Allen is your best player.

I'd transfer list the rest. How much did you pay for that lot?

Temps cost us £50,000. The rest of the team - free transfers and youth.

HEARTS.

You should transfer list some of your players mate. You wont need as many now you are out of Europe

Cup final for Hearts, a tie no one will remember in a few months if you follow Liverpool... enough said.

Same old Liverpool problem! Its nothing new to us. Go and play Citeh of the park then cant be bothered to turn up for the lesser lights. It does not make Hearts a good team tho! Theyre not, so dont be getting too excited.

The Irish Rover {Ed052's Note - we got through didn't we? Thats all that matters}

I'd definitely have Templeton in our squad, looks a talent.

That is why you are out of the cup mate.

31 Aug 2012 04:00:54
ed, any chance of Butland today ?
looks more & more we desperately need a GK..
de vries ,doni who ever remains the second choice Keeper should get a chance.. {Ed052's Note - no GK today no}

No GK today, oh well - with no strikers and a defence that's scared stiff of what's behind them, could be a struggle after all, thought we were going to have a good season until last night :-

Morgan as a back up - behave.
Carra - really has to retire now
Downing - he's a forward/winger
Henderson - only position is CM
Reina - continued where he has been for last 3 years, you just expect a mistake.
Kelly - he's a centre half (does OK at FB)
Borini - jury still out
Skrtel - needs Agger alongside him

On the plus side:
Allen - looks a real player
Saurez - class, but where's his Dutch scoring prowess gone.
Gerrard - still can produce
Agger - phew, thank god he didn't go.

Think we need a big day today.
Butland would be good ( priority )
Any player capable of putting chances away ( x 2 )

John B

 

 

31 Aug 2012 03:55:25
morgan has got a big heart.......what a performance by the youngster.........he really wanted to score and the amount of effort he put in....UNBELIEVABLE

BADGER

He was shocking - you could see his second touch was either a tackle or a foul.

And please don't say, well he's only young, give him a chance, at his age Fowler and Owen had scored plenty of goals.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 03:55:20
Dear Eds,

many people said that we have to sell to buy. I agree, but from what Tom Werner said (that LFC can compete with almost any club in terms of signing top footballers), I got the impression it is more of wage related rather than transfer fund issue.

e.g : if Cole leave for 5M, we can still sign someone whose price is higher (say 15M, or even 20M) as long his wage is similar to Cole's or even lower.

Feedback will be much appreciated, Eds.
Keep up the good work! :)


YNWA
-mgerald- {Ed052's Note - It is wages more than anything. When players with high wages go - more can be invested. Also, when wages go, it frees up money for the trabsfers.}

You got a cold Ed052 - 'trabsfers' that's all those late nights and drinking out of wet glasses.

Really hope today is a great day for Liverpool with Spearing, Adam, Joe cole moving out while us signing Dempsey + 1 forward (Walcott, Sturridge or a suprise).
Although I must admit I was not so happy about Henderson-Dempsey swap idea. It smell of a Konchesky esque deal.
Eds do you expect any more outs other than these (Pacheco, Eccleston, Danny wilson, Brad jones) ? {Ed052's Note - Pacheco, Adam and Cole are the players who are most likely to leave today - and those three equal us getting a new striker}

Thank You for the reply Ed.
Also regarding Eccleston, I read on a blog that we are looking to offload him but he is in the last year of his contract and has made it clear he will remain until June and then move on free. Any truth in it ? {Ed052's Note - We want to get rid of him - loan perhaps, or let him go for free now}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 02:55:18
What went wrong with ecclestone?

His attitude got in the way

He was never good enough..

Gopod player, would do well at a smaller team. Just missing that extra 'something'.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 17:26:08
Sorry Ed, but I really don't know how Spearing messed his own deal up as you sais before.

Marc {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}

Cheers a lot Ed for this info

Good luck and be strong today, you'll have to answer the same question on and on again today.

Take care

Marc {Ed052's Note - Cheers. You too mate}

 

 

30 Aug 2012 16:41:39
Ed052 - Quick question regarding Spearing. Considering you say he has screwed a permanent transfer up hence the loan (which is possibly the worst outcome for all involved I think), where do you think this leaves Spearing once the loan deal finishes? If he persists in his opinion that he will not leave Liverpool, could you see Liverpool maybe sidelining him even more than he has been recently? I understand the lad loves Liverpool and wants to stay, but if LFC want to move him on and there are other clubs interested, wouldn't it be better for all concerned if he moved permanently? More chance to excel his career, LFC get him off the books and a team get the player they wanted. Just seems confusing to me that this situation has even occurred! Apologies if that comes across as naive, but it just doesn't seem to add up.

JFT 96

JP {Ed052's Note - I think he may end up going on loan again, having his contract cancelled or seeing it run down. However, when he comes back from his loan I hope thta he sees that he needs to go for his own sake}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 02:44:16
I thought downing played well at LB. Problem is he didn't have anyone running at him down that wing to cause troubles do defensively he didn't have to do much. Thought he was encouraging going forward.
Also thought Henderson played a lot better in midfield. Anyway Ed's, any shot at going big and signing a top striker? Soldado, lewandoski, llorente, Damian? Don't rate sturridge one bit! He's a hog and not a team player. Thanks eds appreciate the work you guys put in!
LFC-Aussie

Next to Allen I thought Downing was superb.So glad we have found a place for him in the squad. Enrique better watch out cause he may become a bench warmer

31 Aug 2012 02:44:07
can't papers for once be original and come up with names to link with LFC other than the obvious.

the amount of times Sturridge has signed for us is ridiculous..no wander we have no more funds available!

 

 

31 Aug 2012 02:34:38
Jesus,, all I saw on this site last season was fans moaning about how rubbish Andy Carroll was and how we need to get rid of him!!
Now,, everyone's moaning as soon as Brendan Rodgers does just that??
In 44 games AC scored like 6 goals and had 2 assists, he would of had no impact on how season whatsoever if he had of stayed, well done BR,,
NOW just make sure you replace him with someone better

Cheers

I agree with you. All the moaners and whingers on here would not get off his back and now they've changed their tunes again!
I feel sorry for AC because he should never have been bought by LFC. It was the biggest knee jerk reaction to getting 50 million quid that I have ever seen. We so obviously were not going to play in a style that suits him and I think that BR has had the guts to admit this to him early on.
I do feel that he made a mistake coming here and that he will probably score his fair share of goals but not with LFC. He goes with my best wishes but it is the right decision.
Now, lets get on with rest of the season......!

31 Aug 2012 02:20:44
Just an honest question;

Why are so many loving the Andy Carroll now? He has played 30, maybe 40 minutes total worth of good football for us in 18 months. He was consistantly slated for a year after he signed and finally started a game. He had a few good moments towards the end of last season and he worked his way in to a spot in the English euro squad. Why do people think he was unfairly treated? Do you want Charlie Adam to stay? He produced more than Carroll last year, both in goals and assists.

today is going to be very interesting

Charlie Adam is going
jay spearing is going
also i expect a shock departure

reina could leave or agger.

also Fernando lorente is also coming in with another surprise signing.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 01:51:13
Can someone help clear up the matter of who our signings may or may not be tomorrow! A lot of people saying we will sign two strikers? Now maybe it is just wishful thinking on my part but what happens next season on Andy's return! Won't we then have 5 strikers (Suarez, Borini, AC, plus 2 new signings) and then our youth strikers/attacking wide men Sterling, Morgan, Suso and our new signing today! Is this not too many? Although could understand if we signed. Dempsey and Walcott as Dempsey is at his peak so probably won't be used as much in years to come!

Just food for thought! Don't have a go just wanted to know people's opinions really!

I hope AC scores tons at Upton Park and returns to lead our title charge in 2014!

Went to the game tonight and observed the following;

1. Downing did well at LB / LWB (he looked hungry and, mostly, comfortable. He put some decent crosses in.)

2. Joe Allen is worth every single penny of what we paid for him...he's our new Ronnie Whelan.

3. Henderson's a grafter and a good pro. Maybe even a future Captain.

4. Hearts fans are mental. Took a walk around the ground before the game and spotted just three sober ones. When they took the lead they went ballistic. Some arrests for "pitch infringments"! Nice day out I suppose.

5. Adam Morgan needs to work on his positioning and rashness (I remember thinking the same about Stevie G. at his age but .....we'll see!)

6. Luis Suarez is a creator not a striker. Yes, he scored but he's not an out-and-out striker.

7. When D.Agger comes back our defence will be immense.

8. Raheem Sterling is our secret-weapon. (Though not so secret now). The biggest roar of the night came when he stepped on the pitch and he didn't disappoint....he was awesome!

9. Steven Gerrard was excellent tonight.

10. Pepe Reina concerns me at the moment.
He almost cost us dearly and I'm growing less confident of his distribution as time goes by.

I'm not sure about new signings but Sunday versus Arsenal at home should be ;

subs; jones, enrique, coates, henderson, assaidi, sterling, borini

REINA
JOHNSON, SKRTEL,AGGER,DOWNING
ALLEN, SAHIN, GERRARD, SUAREZ
WALCOTT, DEMPSEY

No inside info...just guesswork

iam personaly sick to death of supposed liverpool fans whinging about the treatment of a carrol.you all need to grow up.He is about to move to london probably residing in a penthouse appartment.He will be shacked up with his dolly bird girlfriend and picking up acool 4million ayear.Has evryone forgot newcastle away last year .did he not storm of the pitch swearing at daglish and throw his liverpool shirt on the floor.millions of kids all over this country would sell thier souls for opportunities carrol is getting.most of these kids cant even get job.liverpool fans should stop whinging and move on.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 01:29:19
we must sign a top class striker tomorrow, not a striker/winger, just an out and out goalscorer.. FSG make me laugh sometimes, they say that kenny was a short term soloution, yet they give him over £100m to spend, but rodgers who is seen as the long term soloution doesnt get anywhere near that budget. i dont think rodgers would have been as naive with the cash as kenny was.

Andy is gone, it wasn't his fault or any of the other strikers that we don't score enough goals, and it matters not that we are supposedly about to sign another striker. as it won't make any difference because our problem has always been that there is sod all imagination or creativity in the team as a whole. AC will score a hatful at West Ham, we are just an inept team.

BTW Reina's demise is undeniable now.

I don't kno if anyone is of the same opinion but I wouldn't really be over the moon with Sturidge, not denying his talent but I think there is better for the money! Need a striker of the past el nio type!

31 Aug 2012 01:16:24
Heard mixed reviews about downing at left back, I think personally that it could be a good option., he don't assist so let's hope he can stop them!
everyone knows we need a goal poacher and that everyone wants Dempsey to be our saviour. But to be fair, in Brendon I trust, I've never rated Walcott but for some reason I think Brendon could bring the best out of him. From what I have heard/saw I don't rate sturidge, but what do I know. Bring on 11:59!!

Not LFC related but I heard tonight that Craig Bellamy has fallen out with Mackay, something to do with an injury / his attitude...?
It sounded strange to me because I thought Bellers wanted to go back to Cardiff.
I just wondered if anyone had heard anything about this because it really surprised me

Coxy82

I live in cardiff and work for a big bricklaying company here. 2 lads I work with did some work on bellamy house recently and were at the same party as bellamy on the weekend. Apparently, bellers was pissed and injured his knee that night. Massive falling out with cardiff and will retire due to "family reasons." Cheers, big steve177.

Who did'nt have an arguement with Bellamy? Love the guy but he's mental. When he dies and goes to heaven he's going to be giving god some sh1t - 'remember that game, I was never offside, why did you not intervene?'

 

 

31 Aug 2012 01:05:32
Early doors, but I think Allen is our best player. Suarez number 2. Gerrard has been quite disappointing.

I think it'll be interesting to see if Gerrard starts Sunday. He looked pretty knackered tonight. Not even enough energy to complete passes near the end of the game.

 

 

31 Aug 2012 01:01:54
People need to stop criticizing the way BR has handled the AC situation. If he had taken a risk with AC & didn't produce the goods then everybody would want him fired. AC hasn't scored enough & its no sense hoping for something that doesn't look likely. AC has been given time but hasn't produced. Atleast he was honest & let him know that he didn't fit into his system. He never doubted his ability as a target man. He just doesn't need a target in man to suit his style of football.

Hi Ed's many people with probably disagree with me here but I think loaning out carroll is a good move as long as we get someone in to replace him, his market price at the moment is not anywhere near what we brought him for but if he has a good season at west ham that will go up and we will get a bit more for him next year, all the fans saying BR is this and that have a bit of faith he wouldn't do it if he didnt think it would be in the best intrest of the club, he's the manager lets get behind him!

If we end up with Sturridge as replacement for Carroll I won't be impressed.

It seems Rodgers didn't believe Carroll could play quick, fluid football and ultimately didn't trust him to lead the line for us.

As manager I suppose that's his prerogative.
But Sturridge? Really?

He's lazy. His decision making is poor. He's greedy. He plays with his head down and he's frustrating.
All in all I suppose you could say I don't rate him very much.

I feel really stupid saying this, as Andy Carroll didn't ever really perform very well for us. Certainly not on a consistent basis, but I'm gutted Andy he's left.

Really gutted, more than when Torres left.

Probably because he's been forced out when he wanted to prove himself.
But I'm glad his last appearance at Anfield resulted with a standing ovation when he warmed up and came on - classy stuff from the fans and recognition that he wanted to give it a go.

Despite hating West Ham, their fans and Sam Allardyce, I hope Andy Carroll does well there.

Anyone see Pardew's smarmy interview about Carroll this evening?
"Liverpool gave us £35 million for him, and I wish him all the best at West Ham"

What a knob, i hope Newcastle have a miserable season and he gets the sack

Can't believe we've ended up loaning out AC after all. you know West Ham aren't gonna pay 17m for him at the end of it all regardless. Would rather of taken the 10-15m from Newcastle and call it a loss and invest in a goal scorer. This is a loss for the squad. While not my favourite player, he offers something different to the team, and I can't understand why BR never give him a chance, the game tonight was crying out for someone like AC in the box.

Hopefully we have the funds available to get a couple of players in. I like Dempsey but I'm not sure if he is the answer, as I can't see how he can fit into BR's system, he's more of a Suarez type player (free role), so he would be a poor choice as Carroll's replacement.

Hopefully it won't be Sturridge, Walcott would be a much needed addition to the right side but wouldn't answer our goal scoring problem. I can't see us getting someone like Llorente or Huntelaar as much as I would like to see. I think Gary Hooper would be a good shout for 5-6m; great goal scoring record for Celtic, and is a proper poacher. But I think we should really go for Huntelaar, as he has one year left on his contract, linked up well with Suarez for Ajax, is good in the air and is good with his feet, and most of all he is a goal scorer. I would happily give him the wages say AC or Cole is/was on if he can produce the goods. 15m could do it.

We shoud sell Adam for 5m, even if it's too the Blues for 5m, and Cole should be sold ASAP to free up wages. Pacheco should be sold also. Either Jones or Gulasci should be sold too.

The problem with Suarez is he was signed as a partner for Torres (who we haven't replaced). He would be far better off with someone else having the responsibilty of scoring goals and simply be allowed to do his own thing.

I honestly don't know what is up with Reina. I still think it would be a mistake in selling him, personally if we have enough funds then a backup who can really push him is needed. Jack Butland would be a a great choice for 5-6m, as he is a future England international who can push Hart all the way.

My signings would be Huntelaar, Walcott, and if there is enough left Butland. Then I believe we would have had a great transfer window. This would be my first choice team;

Premier League Team;

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

Sahin

Gerrard Allen

Walcott Suarez

Huntelaar

Subs; Butland, Kelly, Coates, Shelvey/Hendo, Sterling, Downing, Borini.

Europa League/League cup/Fa cup;

Butland

Kelly Carra Coates Robinson

Allen/Coady

Hendo Shelvey

Sterling Downing

Borini/Morgan

Here's to a good end to the transfer window for us.

Keeping the Faith,

MikeyRed92

Its a good move for us as it gives Carrol playing time that he hasnt had and wont get. Even if West Ham doesnt sign him he will be fitter and more raring to go and hopefully come back a better player. If he does go then it doesn't matter. He was never going to be a player for BR and it wasnt worth keeping him on the bench. I would rather have one of the youngsters there ready to go when called upon. It was only last year most fans were slagging Carrol of and now they want him to stay...doesnt make sense to me as he hasnt done much. This deal will only work if we get Dempsey and hopefully Walcott.

31 Aug 2012 00:30:32
Forgive me if I'm wrong but I swear Daniel Sturridge is in the final year of his contract?

That would almost certainly rule out a loan and i doubt we'd cough up upwards of 20 million of him...

Maybe one of the Eds can confirm?

A bit unfair on Morientes. He wasn't a bad player he just couldn't score. The other players are useless.

Hi Edds and fellow reds. I have been reading the previous posts about the Carroll deal, the general consensus is the deal is loan with intent to buy. I was wondering if Any of the Edds have the exact information on the deal and is there any chance that it may just be a loan deal in which andy will return next season? Flynn Dublin {Ed001's Note - it is a loan with an option to buy, so we won't know until it happens if they intend to buy or not. They certainly won't buy him if they get relegated.}

 

 

31 Aug 2012 00:25:25
eds, With Andy going out on loan, does that mean Agger is more likely to stay with us? I.e. are we still trying to raise funds from Aggers permenant sale or are we happy with the wage reduction. Hope Danny stays. {Ed001's Note - they bear no relation to each other mate. Agger was only possibly leaving due to his injuries, not to raise cash.}

Im sure he has a family to think about and shipping them off to Russia may not be in their best intrests.

thinking bout the recent games including tonights game .
i can't get used to all the passing back to pepe reina and that mentality cost us a win against man c .
surely there's a better way even if its big boot..
cheers all ynwa forever

Barca never passes to their keeper, its all about supporting the man with the ball and the man on the ball to take maximum 3 touches as more would be dwelling and giving opposition time to rest, reset formation and closed down options causing the ball carrier to panic.

Mate, while I agree that back passing to Reina is not the most pleasant to watch, it will continue until our squad is more comfortable with the style that Rodgers is implementing. Once players in front start to move better and the players become more comfortable on the ball with their heads up, the back passing should subside somewhat.

It is frustrating though, in the meantime!

31 Aug 2012 00:15:57
Henderson has to be a sub this year, he is to inconsistent. He runs allot but fails to do anything other than a side pass.

Reina is too comfortable and needs some one challenging for the position of GK. he is becoming a liability lately. Why not give a reserve Keeper the chance.


I like the style tiki taka, pass and move. but when a chance opens up we need to ensure we finish it rather than fannying about.


Busy day tommorow
Long live the king 7

LTP {Ed001's Note - Hendo played at least one great defence splitting forward pass on the edge of the box today.}

Think he played a couple, but one was brilliant for sure. Honestly after he left the pitch our midfield seemed a lot less of an attacking threat (last 20 minutes or so). Think Henderson is just one of those players that is consistently solid but not necessarily spectacular so his contribution goes unnoticed since he's not banging them in from 25 yards out.

And Shelvey played 3 of those.

Agree with the ED. Overall, I thought he did ok. I ceratinly wouldnt be slagging him off after today. A great ball through to Luis.

Andy K

 

 

31 Aug 2012 00:13:51
Hats off to Downing tonight. A true professional.

Not a first choice left back, but excellent cover if needed.

Agreed. There have been a number of successful conversions from forward wide men further back. It looked like he had a lot more time and space out wide. Get Johnson bombing up the otherside and we will become difficult to set up against.

Team Vs Arsenal:

------------Reina---------------
Kelly---Coates---Skrtel---Downing
----Allen----Gerrard----Sahin----
Suarez-----Borini-----Sterling----

This is what I'd have thought anyway, could change dependent on how active we are tomorrow :)

I think Enrique will be back

If we play Downing at left back against Arsenal we could be in serious trouble. The pace and skill they have at their disposal would be too much for Downing in my opinion. He did ok tonight but against a top prem team he would be a weak link. Enrique if fit, if not Johnson or Agger with Coates partnering Skrtel.
McB

You do know that agger will be available for the match

Where's Johnson? Where's Agger and where is Enrique? Assaidi could be ready but most likely a bench and subbed on close to the 70 minute mark.

I have seen this young lad Yemil play.

jonnybarnes89-90. {Ed001's Note - I think Walcott is more likely than Sturridge, though I would prefer neither personally.}

The lad is still raw though, runs with the ball too quick and loses control, runs into players and first touch can be a bit erratic, a year in the reserves at least, though then he could become a very good player. Morgan played well tonight and should be given a few chances here and there.

30 Aug 2012 23:45:53
Not sure why everyone is so against Sturridge...maybe he has a bad attitude, maybe he is selfish, all if these I have heard. However, he is pure class on the pitch. Having him on the right side of our front three with the ability to cut in on his favored left would be fantastic. Surely I will receive some backlash for this comment, but I for one would welcome him.

Daniel Sturridge does not know how to pass the ball! In every game when he has possession on that right wing, it always end its the same way! A wild optimistic effort thats always ends up in the 3rd tier because he never thought of passing the ball! He just wants glory and thinks he's ronaldo!

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:45:40
I have just got home after going to the game to see tht we have let AC go. Big mistake. On that showin tonight, we have a very limited attack. We just don't look like scoring. Borini is not going to get us the goals hat we missed last year. Henderson should be one o the group of players going, as he is just not good enough. I also can believ that we re only loaning Jay Spearing. He is a liability. Why don't we get rid ri completely. I really hope BR has got someone lined up as we should to be struggling against a team of Hearts standard. SOrry to be slightly negative, but I think that the way in which AC has been treated is disgraceful. We could have done with some of his passion pt there tonight.

The commentary on TV followed the feeling at the ground, it was a staged progression, 1. Unlucky not to break through, 2. Nervous at not realising the gulf in class, 3. Willingness to embrace an underdog, 4. Sensationalism at Heart's taking a chance, 5. Unwillingness to back off the story that had already been emraced (and reluctance to praise LS after condemming earlier wastage), 6 A need to summarise in a way that didn;t acknowledge a routine occurence.

Supposedly we are looking at Sturridge as Chelsea are trying to sign Schurrie.... I don't understand why we don't go for Schurrie. The kid looks absolute dynamite and had a cracking Euros... I'm tired of these over inflated British players, who dont perform in a red shirt (barring Allen so far)...
YNWA

Schurlle had a good euros??? HAH. that's a good one.

We obviously have no more money...Schurrle for the 18m quoted is almost a steal and he will be worth far more than that by the end of the season

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:37:28
Just seen br's quote about carroll, and he also said about wingers who are on £5m to £6m a year, eds any idea what he was on about?

JFT96 COYR {Ed001's Note - he was talking about players not playing, ie Downing being paid to sit around on the bench, I think. If Enrique hadn't been so unimpressive of late, I think Downing would have been on his way too. But as a player who can cover left back and the wings, he is much more valuable.}

Surely he was referring to Joe Cole?

He was talking about Joe Cole.

To keep you awake and posting at 11:30pm the day before, it's a big conspiricy(please correct spelling) to have a laugh at your behalf.... of it's because the price of goods (wanted to put commedities but would have been another mispell) is directly linked to a formula between desire to realise/fear or missing out.

Because letting it go right to the wire is good tactic for e.g calling other teams bluff or bluffing yourself.thats how newcastle got us to buy carroll.we dont wanna sell till deadline day then bang your done son

Pepe Reina has been a fantastic keeper for Liverpool and I hope he will continue to be for a long time. One or two mistakes shouldn't overshadow his value to Liverpool over a long period. Stay strong Pepe.

Jag

It's not one or two it's one every 2/3 weeks which simply isn't good enough

If only it were one or two. He has been dropping balls, misjudging when to come out, and his passing has declined significantly. However, he still has games where he is amazing.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:26:43
Why would we let a big strong target man like Andy Carroll go on loan & then BUY a big strong (older) target man like Fernando Llorente instead? Eds i'm sure you agree this rumour is nonsense? {Ed001's Note - the reason is that Llorente is not really a target man, just because he is tall doesn't mean he has to be a big lump! I wish people would actually watch the lad play and learn about him. He offers passing and movement, something Carroll lets himself down on, Carroll's movement in the box is awful.}

Is llorente fast? {Ed001's Note - fairly quick.}

For as much as i dont think we will get llorente,have you ever thought it could be because he is a much better player than carroll,or that he is actually a very tidy footballer aswell as being a big fella and to top it all off can actually find the net aswell,id bet that youve hardly seen him play if at all.......

what a disgrace the way brendan rodgers has treated andy carroll.won nothing will never win anything the man is all talk not good enough for us. {Ed001's Note - yes, but thankfully Rodgers offloaded him to West Ham..... ;o)}

Where is the disgrace?? Carroll was hired to score goals...end of. He failed miserably. In fact, he was pathetic in pretty much every department including movement and skill with the ball. HORRENDOUS!

So, you are suggesting BR should keep this donkey?

Carroll was paid very, very well to do a job. He is incapable of doing that job. Therefore, he needs to move on. The disgrace is Carroll shamelessly collecting a paycheque every week without earning it.

Congrats BR for having the vision to assess the true capabilities of players (clearly, KD was blind) and more importantly, for having the courage to make the difficult decisions for the betterment of LFC...now and for many years to come.

Another un signed poster talking nonesense,just why is rodgers a disgrace no name? because he told carroll the truth that he was 3rd choice striker and wouldnt be getting the game time he wants to get,so he could get rid of someone who isnt in his plans so he can free up space for someone he feels would improve the squad......keep to ya own site tool!!
rodger the dodger

How is it a disgrace? I just don't understand some people. Just because I say I'd like to play for LFC, that doesn't mean I'm good enough! Do you watch Andy in training sessions day in and day out? Was he banging in goals when I wasn't looking last season? Nice enough kid, not a nearly good enough footballer to be our primary line of attack. Obviously the manager thinks he'll get someone better tomorrow otherwise he would have not let him go.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:24:58
We rreeeaaallllyyyy need a goal scorer. Suarez great on the right in a front 3 but really not out and out scorer.

Sky saying Sturridge deal possible.

Strongest team for Arsenal

Reina
Johnson Skrtle Agger Enrique
Allen
Gerrard Surin
Suarez Dempsey Sturridge

Hopefully!!

Reina
Johnson Skertel Agger Enrique
Allen
Gerrard Sahin
Sterling Sturridge Suarez

Dempsey hasn't even played a friendly all year he is no where near match fit

Dempsey and Sturridge would definitely complete a very good set of attacking options. When you consider not long ago we had the likes of NGog, Jovanovic and Babel, options from Suarez, Borini, Sturridge, Dempsey, Assaidi and Sterling for those front three spots actually looks very impressive, offering flair, variety and most importantly, pace- something we have been desperately lacking for a while.

Who the hell is surin?

Who's Surin?!

Class except agger suspended!

100% sure neither of the new signings on deadline day will play vs Arsenal because Rodgers likes his players to train before they play.

Stop slating Reina. He made a mistake today, he didn't do it on purpose. See the look on his face afterwards, he was distraught.

He has been a top top player for us. Don't have a go at him for one bad mistake. It's not like he's the only keeper to ever make a mistake.

BobD94

He was distraught? I think embarrassed was a better term.

But he's had far more than one bad mistake. More like a constant stream of them.

I like Reina and think he is a fantastic distributor of the ball, but given our play out of the box is pretty simple passes on the ground, that feature of his game is less relevant. What is relevant is frankly he's not a great shot stopper at all. I'd say there are at least 5 better than him at that in the PL alone, probably more.

I predict that Reina will go in January.

Not a rumour at all, but I'm wondering why BR would let a target-man like Carroll go and then go after another player like him in the shape of Llorente?

Because he's currently ten times better.

Brendan broad nose can hold his head up higher for manning up and dealing with the lingering Carroll issue.
we can all say he's too slow lacks mobility or he's a giant in the air and a great plan b however one fact that cannot be over looked is that the boy hasn't scored. period.


randy watson

Great post Randy!

Finally, someone who makes sense on this sute!

Think youve got that bang on there randy,totally agree with all you said mate
rodger the dodger

He may not have been prolific for us but he didnt half try to put his wrongs right. he even scored in both finals.

True...the only problem is that no one else scored either and the whole team was rubbish last season...yet he has been made a scapegoat...

another fact that cannot be overlooked...opposing defences will now be glad not to face him when playing us...

I don't get the 'opposing defences are terrified of Carroll' bit. Why? Are they afraid he'll trip over his own feet and fall on them? Or smash a left footer off target and hit them instead? He had a coue of decent months at Newcastle when they first came up. Outside of that, what else has he ever done for people to think he's a star striker?

Hi eds, has spearing done a u turn and gone to. Stoke, also will fat Charlie be joining Dirk.......

is the west ham deal the same as before with the cost being at around 20million at the end of the season for big Andy who we never shouldve mistreated.

More importantly we should never of signed him in the first place - Never going to be good enough like a few of the other players Kenny signed.

ash240970

£3m now then £17m if they wanna keep him. He hasn't been mistreated!

Obviously theres a load of talk about the AC deal today/tonight and my initial reaction is "I like where he was going, am gutted he's not about as a back-up". But if we're gonna buy the BR approach/system we shouldn't have the "long ball get-out/pressure the opponents box from the air" sat on the bench because it suggests our new philosophy might fail. I'm not embarassed to say I was BR's biggest critical after WBA, I'm also not too Egotistical to say I'm starting to see the light after Man City and Hearts (we have way too many holes at the back or our own making that I hate seeing, in isolation, but the philosophy stops us getting in those positions as much). It's hard for me as a defensive minded fan (GH went too far, RB just right) to buy in to the BR way. But if we're gonna encourage GKs, CBs, wingers and wing backs that we can pass out rather than oof we all have to commit to it, gutted to hear anfield go quiet after the hearts goal tonight but I would have probably been the same 2 weeks back. Now, well the philosphy is postive aggressive play backed by grafting when we don't have the ball, every fan at every game needs to back that, 2 up or 2 down, our players need to feel the belief.

KH

What are the crowd meant to do - cheer their goal?!

Rafa Benitez got it right in terms of defense and attack? You are kidding right. Rafa did many great things but a balanced attack/defense was not one of them, in my opinion.

Aside from an ability to score, our build up play was very good and for the record both shelvey and hendo were good tonight.

I despair at some of the carp that the eds have to post, if i had not have watched the game myself i would want to sack the whole team based on the comments on here tonight.

i think i have to give this site a miss for a while

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:08:03
Brendan just gave update expect on liverpool website sion that he diesent expect much to happen rumours are not true! So get un-excited. This is a guy thats pretty upfront with stuff.

That's a load of crap, he said after the game that he will replace Carroll tomorrow and hopes to sign at least two players, if possible, check it if you don't believe me...

With the transfer window due to close at 11pm BST on Friday night, Rodgers remains hopeful of adding further reinforcements to his squad.

He continued: "We need cover and other players to come in to help the group, so I hope over the course of the next 24 hours that can happen. That could only have been the case to let Andy out, otherwise we'd be short of numbers."

Journalists quizzed Rodgers on the prospect of other players leaving Anfield before the close of the window.

He replied: "We've had one or two enquiries, so I am just waiting. Obviously my concentration today was on the game, so I'll get an update later from Ian Ayre, our managing director who has worked tirelessly over the course of this transfer window to manage deals both in and out."

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:06:15
We really need to consider bringing in a new keeper to challenge Reina. He's getting complacent knowing he will be in the starting line up every week, and tonight's blunder shows this.

Donkey Kong.

I can't think of better back ups than Doni and Brad Jones, they could be starting at other top clubs.

Competition for places is always healthy.

Spearing has joined Bolton on a loan with view-to-buy. Carroll gone to West Ham on loan, anyone watching the match on ESPN will have heard that it's supposed to be £2million up front and a possible £17million view-to-buy. Adam will go to either Stoke or Fenerbahce which would of course see him link up again with Dirky. In I would expect Dempsey to sign early tomorrow, Daniel Sturridge is one that will go to the wire I think and I believe Rodgers wants to sign Walcott as well, but that is one which I highly doubt will happen.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:14:24
Do the Eds look to tomorrow with excitement or stressful? Haha {Ed019's Note - Bit of both haha

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:14:17
Daniel Sturridge has emerged as a target and liverpool are set make a bid for him after andy carroll moved to west ham as brenden rodgers needs a goalscorer sturridge may be tempted as he wants first team football so he can get into england squad also sunderland are interested in signing dempsey but he prefers liverpool

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:12:57
eds how come spearings loan hasnt been confirmd on lfc website? {Ed019's Note - dunno

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:11:57
Guardian- Liverpool to get Sturridge on loan. BE STRONG LUCAS. Redevon

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:11:44
Please post in rumours

Just want to get people opinion on Carroll to West Ham, am I the only one thinking BR anf FSG have gone potty?!

35m and we loan him out, absolute joke

No the joke was on us paying 35 mill, newcastle are still laughing

The joke was buying him in the first place for £35M, not loaning him out. The only winners in that deal were NUFC.

Didnt we get 2mil and WHU paying his wages? If we couldnt sell him, this is the next best thing - frees up wages and a spot on the bench for someone that Rodgers will actually use.

I see that as clever mate, not a "joke".

LIVERPRES

And 35m sitting on the bench or in the stands makes more sense? Especially if it means that his retention means we dont get someone else who will feature. If we cant sell Andy what we want right now, why not loan him to a team that will suit his strengths in the hope that he performs and either stays with the Hammers or is in demand?

Shout out to Jordan and Stewie tonight, they've had their critics, but to be fair, played really well, especially Hendo, thought he was much more direct and penetrative with his passing, we've got some really good, young central midfielders, Allen, Lucas, Hendo, Shelvey etc!

30 Aug 2012 23:02:17
Eds how many signings are you expecting tomorrow now that Carroll has gone?

Luke JFT96 {Ed019's Note - At least Dempsey

 

 

30 Aug 2012 23:00:42
Word going round is there is an option for West Ham to buy Carroll in the loan clause (believed to be about 12 -13m) . What this means is the owners are now willing to free up cash for another striker in the hopes that the money could be recouped if Carroll is eventually sold. Expect Dempsey plus one more attacker tomo. I thought Downing did very well at LB today and I'll expect him to keep playing there as an alternative to Enrique.
DAni

Really, theres an option to buy carroll? (eds give this guy his own page)

I've been musing over posting something along these lines the last few times I've been on the web site. I'm probably going to get slaughtered but here goes. In my opinion, in the last 5 years or so, the quality of the players hasn't changed much, the quality of the management and coaching hasn't changed much, but the quality of supporter has changed drastically. I can't claim to be the greatest supporter, I get to games when I can but when I do I sing my heart out. Watching the match tonight, it sounded like it was an away match! Anfield has become one of the quietest ground in the league on occasion and it's darn scary. The first match I went to was in 2003 I think, against Leeds, 3-1 and I'll never forget the experience. The kop was electric. Watching the match tonight was almost embarrassing, Hearts really showed us up in that department. I'm not just having a go for the sake of it, but it's so frustrating when I and I know loads of others struggle to get tickets when people go there and just sit there in silence! It shows on here as well. Owners don't spend money. They're cheap. Owners spend money. They waste it. Carroll plays poorly. Vile abuse and demands for him to be sold. Carroll has some good games. Don't you dare sell him! It goes on, supporters just seem to want to complain all the time. (This is not aimed at a lot of supporters, just thought I would bring it up)

Tbf, Anfield was pretty quiet in the '90s and all. Totally depends on the game and how much it means. Just look back at Sunday for a total opposite to tonight.

Great post mate!

West Brom our opponents in league cup

Nice revenge is sweet.

We are getting spanked again. No Lucas this time, or Carroll. Beaten bad enough already

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:55:43
Hey ed's..Should be a busy day tomorrow...a website are reporting that we want Sturridge to replace Carroll, do you know anything about that? Do you think that there is a possibility that both Dempsey and Sturridge will join us tomorrow? Would appreciate an answer..Cheers, Scouserseb

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:54:12
Sturridge rumours building now! Heard it from several sources over the past 2 hours.

Any truth Eds?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:54:05
Where was agger tonight?

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:51:53
"I would need to be a nutcase even to consider at this moment to let Carroll go out, unless there are other solutions for that."

That is what Brendan said. Note the use of 'at this moment' and 'other solutions'. Please stop slagging off the manager because you don't understand what he actually said.

RDL

You think that there may be a definite permanent deal if hammers stay in pl? that will see us get £18.5m for him overall. 1.5 for the loan and 17m for the transfer.

Good post

Billynwa

I have no idea. But I think the manager thinks that he's has adequate coverage coming in, otherwise he wouldn't have let the loan go through.

 

 

30 Aug 2012 22:21:26
Hi all,

Just a quick question eds, with andy now gone along with spearing and probably adam tomorrow do you think anymore may follow. I am just wondering do you know if pacheco and suso will be loaned/sold or given a chance to play ?

Also im sure you've been asked non stop but do you know who the most likely striker is we will sign, huntelaar, sturridge, llorente or someone else,

Thanks, {Ed019's Note - of those you've named, sturridge is most likely. I expect Suso to be given a chance and Pacheco to leave
