LS should take a look at Michael Owen, he got all he wished for, look what happened next . I feel we are on the verge of something special, don't get of the train at Edge Hill Louis, stay on and finish your journey . The rewards you seek will come .

I think he should look in mirror at himself to see wot kind of man he sees I am not on about him chasing his dreams ie Real Madrid but arsenal for few extra games a year little bit more money he don't need or is he the kind that turns his back on people that helped him when he was down and out not just once and still give him a open ticket to there Hearts only then can he judge himself and make his next step

Eds and reds,
If Liverpool were to buy Diego Costa do you expect him to play as a centre forward or a left wing-forward for Liverpool? {Ed002's Note - Flexibility is the key.}

Yes, he will play LW or CF or RW. just as he does for Ath Madrid.

I don't really think we have any particular centre forwards anymore now. front 3 don't stay the same anymore. whoever we buy now, will just be a forward. only downing from what I've seen stays on the right most of the time.

Costa is a live wire he is a natural winner yes he can be a dirty player and is short tempered who likes to tease the opposition but who doesn't?

If he joins then i'm glad as he scored 20 goals in 44 games last season and created 8 assists that's not bad at all and as Rodgers highlighted earlier in the transfer market he said he wants to add 20 goals to the team and Costa will add that regardless to what happens with Suarez. And his versatility is good as he can play comfortable across the the front 3.

Downing forward? he just doesn't have any edge in his game, not a forward eather? winger hm maybee, not even a half decent player, with his speed he should of run over players, but no no, has no confidence

04 Aug 2013 22:38:20
I think Iago Aspas is going to be a great buy from BR. In all honesty I didn't know much about him before we signed him but I can't wait to see more of him this season. Since Kuyt left we have lacked a 2nd/3rd striker who can chip in with 10-15 goals a season and I think he is very much capable of that this year. Still think we need 1-2 more signings (as keep being mentioned by BR and SG) but I haven't been this optimistic for a new season for years! Just like Stevie says he can't wait to get started. Come on Reds let's give the top 4 a good go and get to Wembley too ;)

Looks like a very good prospect and a team player. Wish him luck this season especially in front of goal

04 Aug 2013 22:17:56
Eds just wondering what happened to the agree/disagree buttons below the posts, always a good way of understanding other people's opinions on each post?

Cheers {Ed002's Note - Folks got worked up over them apparently.}

Why not just have an Agree button. The dis agree button just gets abuse from other fans and trolls. But if not I'm sure now we are all signed in, to type agree or dis agree is just as good?

Oh dear, did anyone else hear Commoli on Five live or Talkrubbish?.
Quite clearly hasn't a clue and is very bitter, apparently he knew we couldn't keep our best players and we're only competing for top 8. Oh dear the man has no idea.
I really want us to use this season to kick on and prove everyone wrong, from the Spurs fans who claim we're a little club to the media people who believe we're not going to get top four,
Well. Bring it on
YNWA JFT96

Hi Guv,
someone should have told him that ya have to be in the top 8 to get to the top 4 or win the prem lol

I for one is glad he long gone, don't know how much in put he had in Andy Carroll for 35 m and downing at 20 m but any way he gone not a dig at the 2 players just not for that money that's why sooner the FFP comes in the better

I've accepted the fact Suarez will be sold, but please

God NOT to Arsenal, fingers crossed he goes abroad.

Because the way it looks there will be 4 teams going toe to toe

for 2 champions league places, Us Spurs Arsenal And United

Lets hope Brendan Spends any money he gets wisely

and let's not get another Fabio Borini, who to hard to

impress,

Deano95

We don't want players who try hard to impress?

With him not attending stevie s gala dinner I believe he is gonetoo

just hope its not to arsenal

04 Aug 2013 21:32:45
Liverpool are poised to complete the signing of Athletico Madrid striker Diego Costa, a deal is all but done after the Liverpool's bid triggered Costa's release clause and the two sides are set to meet to complete the move tomorrow. The move will apparently pave the way for Luis Suarez's exit, but only once Liverpool receive a bid they are happy with, refusing to allow the Uruguayan to leave on the cheap.

I hope so. 20 million is the starting point for more than decent players in the market today (HM for example) so if we can get him, he`ll give us another style especially with his aerial ability which is quite good. He can also shoot with both feet which is always a plus

04 Aug 2013 21:27:37
Suarez expected to stay, BR confident he will, the reception he got at yesterdays match just shows how much the club and fans love him as a player, don't GO!

Yes he got a great reception, its a pity that he did not even give a wave or something to the supporters who have backed him,
maybe this is because he knows that BR is bossing his transfer out, and he goes when Liverpool FC say so, at the best price, yes he is a great player, but way too much baggage for me .
sell him and buy two quality players .

He wants out. He has dragged the club's name in mud. He has given countless interviews saying he wants out. He is banned for 6 games. No matter what you think of it, biting Ivanovic and the Ezra thing dragged the club's reputation through the mud.

He should be sold. The club is bigger than him.

You need to get over him.

04 Aug 2013 21:22:37
Hi eds first post here, addictive site.I don't think Suarez will put in transfer request to engineer move to Arsenal, as I that might ruin any chance he has of RM coming in for him. Would you agree. Secondly, has Liverpool put any sort of deadline on Suarezgong or staying. thanks Eds {Ed002's Note - The transfer request would not put any move to RM at risk - and I don't know of any timescales.}

04 Aug 2013 21:14:44
Someone apparently close to costa has said he would really like to join us and has rejected Roma and florintina. Deal could be announced tomorrow.

04 Aug 2013 20:57:30
Hey Ed02, was just looking for your opinion on how you think LFC is progressing. Most LFC fans think we're tipping along well on the upward path and I agree, however I'd like to get an external view from a fan of another team on how you think we are progressing.
Cheers {Ed002's Note - I think the latter half of last season was encouraging. Rodgers has an idea in mind and I hope for the Liverpool supporters it works out. Get rid of the distraction and there is a new season to look forward to.}

05 Aug 2013 01:24:54
Ed02, that's a good assesment of were LFC are at, I reckon that once we move on one or two players, and bring in 2 maybe 3 who will give their all to the team, we will def go for the top four spot .

04 Aug 2013 20:43:46
Evening Eds
I'm all legit and logged in, never felt a thing.
Some very promising signs at the match yesterday. Liked the look of Aspas although a bit on the lightweight side. Lucas was awesome as usual. Joe Allen nearing his early season form of last year. Koulo, well, big and commanding, great signing. Stevie looked in great shape. Coutinho, great player with great touch. Pity about LS, he doesn't deserve the support the city, the club and the fans have given him.
Looking forward to the season, let's hope we get a couple more in soon and I think we're in for a great season.
Great work Eds.
JFT96 {Ed002's Note - Welcome.}

Agree apart from Lb is a must enrique going forward and first touch is horendous.

04 Aug 2013 20:12:45
I really hope I am wrong to think this but I can't help but think that our squad/first team is weaker now than last season! We have lost reina, carragher and soon to be skrtl and Suarez and replaced them with relatively un proven premier league players. Surely we need at least two 25 million pound players to compete with the top four?What does everyone think?

Look at our attacking players
Saurez borini Sturridge ibe Downing coutinho sterling aspas Alberto Gerrard Henderson we've replaced Carragher with toure mignolet replaced Reina, think we are just short on left back and central defence then possibly replacement of Saurez if leaves but Costa possibly lined up! Future looks good! :-)

I really hate the notion that £25m guarantees quality. We could spend that bringing in Titus Bramble buy he'll still be crap.

So because a player costs 25million that would be our team sorted? Do you know anything about football? Who was swanseas best player last year and how much did he cost? Chelsea spent quite a lot on hazard and oscar last year and they were poor(especially oscar) if you compared it by how much they cost. that's why we don't compare it that way. The money in someway is irrelevant.

Coutinho and Sturridge are both class players, and Mignolet is one of best keepers around. Weve also got Toure who is a decent replacement for Carra and he's got that winning mentality, along with Stevie, Agger, Lucas, Johnson. all top players

Some of the young guys are incredible eg Sterling, Ibe, Wisdom, Kelly, Aspas, Allen, Hendo.
We are looking good, a few more quality signings and were ready.

I think Toure is a more than capable replacement for Carragher. Reina has been poor for two seasons now and if you listened to the manager saying he wanted players who were hungry with a winning mentality, then maybe he felt Reina didn't promote this philosophy any longer. Besides Mignolet is an excellent goalkeeper on half the wages, sentiment aside it was decisive on BR's part and only time will tell if a good decision. Skrtel and Suarez haven't gone anywhere yet, but admitedley Suarez is going to be nigh on impossible to replace one on one, but if the cash is reinvested wisely into the team then who's to say we won't be a better team from it? And if Skrtel goes and is replaced with Papa then I feel this will certainly be an improvement. Skrtel has all the attributes to be a top class defender but is sadlt let down by his poor decision making on the pitch. Onwards and upwards!

I'm with Gerrard. If we lose Suarez we won't get top 4. If we sell him to Arsenal we won't get top 4 for the next 3/4 seasons. We should add to what we have and get rid of the poor players replacing them with top players.

Disagree mate, I think we have a far stronger squad with a hungry will to win attitude. about them . Can't see where the 25 mi each player l comes into it, sooner have another Sturidge and Coutinho myself and save 30 mil .

I am sure that Stevie G was just trying to convince Suarez to stay, at least when he does go, everyone will say that we backed and supported him, even when he started to do a torres, as he is now .

Disagree completely. We looked a tad bit better than a shambles last pre-season (no fluidity, little movement, much confusion, a 1-1 tie against Toronto FC, losing to Roma 2-1, etc) and this pre-season we look a million miles better. For that alone I think the team is vastly improved versus the same time last year.

Re: DBol, is that the same Gerrard who said Liverpool had no chance of winning the European cup in 2005?

To OP; it's okay, I'm happy to inform you that you are 100% wrong. There, now you can rest easy.

04 Aug 2013 20:02:11
Did Roy Hodgson really manage our great football club? Dear oh dear oh dear.

04 Aug 2013 19:56:57
This Suarez nonsense is really starting to brown me off. At first I was desperate for him to stay even after his outburst at conf. cup but it is being hyped up by his agent and media that much now that I actually want rid because of the negativity around him. No player is bigger than the club Luis.YNWA.

Could not agree with u more, spot on old chap!

04 Aug 2013 19:37:51
Aspas was really impressive in yesterdays match. Potiential signing of the summer. Also eds is it possible to change your username? Thanks

Try deregistering and register again under a new username.

But let one the Eds answer before you do what I have suggested {Ed002's Note - Seems like a plan.}

You can unregister and then re-register with a new username, using your current email address .

I was 'Kopite Red' for about 2 hours before I realised it was a bit generic and probably someone else's unregistered nickname .

04 Aug 2013 19:10:01
Wow what a difference a log in makes. excellent sensible banter on here for a change. Now suarez aside do you think there ill be any major changes to the team that started yesterday or will it just be a tinkering at the back and the middle?

04 Aug 2013 19:08:42
for suarez to get the reception he had yesterday, for the arm around the shoulder from carragher the great, to witness the reception "god" recieved and to witness what a spectacle gerrard had from 45000 worshippers I ask myself one thing "why wouldn't you stay 1 more year!" ill never understand it! it should have been the eye opener he needed. if your reading mr suarez, don't do what torres and owen did because the money and trophies they won will never compinsate for being labeled a "legend" by any club let alone our one!

That's the sort of post that really annoys me - Fowler left Liverpool by choice at the age of 27 for 12 million because he was dropped by Houllier and could no longer get in the side ahead of Heskey and Owen - at the time he had played about 330 games and scored 170 odd goals, McManaman is still revered by some LFC fans for some reason after leaving on a Bosman, which is something ALL Liverpool fans should be annoyed about.
Ill informed fans berate Michael Owen because he left ( organised by Parry without Owens knowledge ) at the age of 24 after scoring nearly 160 goals in less than 300 appearances. They got about the same price for Owen ( and 12 million more than we got for McManaman ).
Can someone explain to me why Fowler is called a legend after leaving because he couldn't get a game, and Michael is called a traitor, even though he had a better goals per game ration than Fowler.
I am sure some blinkered people will have a go, but I am speaking from a position of knowledge wrt the Real Madrid transfer.

05 Aug 2013 00:51:39
Fowler left for first team football, never slagged the club off publicly and always gave his all.
Owen jumped ship when we needed him and had given us plenty of reasons to dislike him.
Welshboydave

05 Aug 2013 09:17:10
I think the main reason is because Owen joined Man United

Fowler has played for a number of teams, but has always made his love of Liverpool known - not least after Istanbul when he famously taunted Man United after scoring against them when he was at (I think) City.

Owen, given that he did not grow up on the streets of Liverpool and definitely because he played for United will always be less of a fans favourite that homegrown lads who still support the club like Fowler and Gerrard.

I share your frustration with McManaman, I think it was wrong for him to push for a Bosman, but I have no idea how much culpability the club had in allowing his contract to run down. I understand from various biographies etc that Houllier could be a difficult boss who had very specific ideas of how players should behave and this definitely led to an alienation with Fowler, and probably Macca too.

The perception of Owen (whether right or wrong) has been of someone who loves the money more than having any particular loyalty. Whereas Fowler has taken care of business interests (we all live in a Robbie Fowler house. etc) and is still around for the sheer love of the game. He always has played the game like a kid which is both endearing and generates a lot of loyalty towards him.

Final point, and quite a subjective one, but I also believe that Fowler was blessed with a lot more talent and creative nous than Owen. Owen had his speed and, imho, little else. I think if Fowler had been born even 5 years later, and was able to get along with the training and fitness regimes we have now, he would still be playing, at a similar age (if he was 5 years younger!) to Gerrard and banging in 20+ goals a season for us, with much fewer of the injuries he suffered through his career.

Owens is everything that's wrong with most modern day players! jumps ship, puts england before us, slags the club off and sits on the bench for whiskey nose! I wouldn't see gerrard or carragher do that hence why they'll go down as club legends and owens a NOBODY!

Maybe because he went to united, maybe its because he will write for that paper.

04 Aug 2013 19:04:12
Find out anything further on Cissokho yet ed?

Thanks {Ed002's Note - No but I suspect something is going on.}

Cardena Ser reported on fri or sat that Aly Cissokho had agreed a deal to move to Anfield on loan. I saw it on the l`Equipe website.

04 Aug 2013 18:45:42
Hello Eds,
wanted to know is the Aly Cissokho deal close to being done or is just at negotiations stage?
When we were first interested, a Valencia reporter was mentioning that they are the ones making it difficult for us to sign Aly as they are angry with us for signing that Pedro Chirivilla lad. {Ed002's Note - I have explained what I know, nothing has changed since.}

04 Aug 2013 18:27:39
Many many thanks for happy post day and the improved positive attitude from all since then, also post mandatory registration. Some great insights forthcoming and appreciate the tone from all. A rare poster but regular reader and this process has massively changed my view of this site for the better. Well done to all Ed's and posters. Matt

04 Aug 2013 18:26:42
First time in month's, it is enjoyable reading the posts. Ed's you've done a fantastic job, getting it back to where it was.

04 Aug 2013 18:22:16
Just want to congratulate the Eds on their fantastic resolution to the troll issue. I actually enjoy reading the page again and don't have my head in my hands despairing at small groups of fans any more. Hope you're all having a good day.

04 Aug 2013 18:21:45
"C'mon Liverpool!"

04 Aug 2013 18:17:04
Great then. I think if we give sturridge the right mindset and confidence, he`ll really shine. My only worries are his health and if he can be a team player like Aspas and the rest. Suarez is not a team player that`s why we play better without him.

04 Aug 2013 18:09:37
Ed's top work on the new format really feel the positive vibes now rather than the slating. On that note any news on LS haha just kidding.
Think that with Lucas fit and pre season behind him and patrolling in front of the back four we look much more assured defensively. Costa to me looks like a good shout if we could get him overall pleased with the rebuilding work we have done so far can't wait for start of prem now.

04 Aug 2013 17:54:36
Coutinho looked much more at home playing centrally in the 2nd half yesterday. I know Brendan likes his players to be versatile but I hope, and am sure the manager realises, we have to get this boy on the ball as much as possible. For me that means playing him CAM, especially at home!

Agree, don't know what good putting allen at cam and cooutinho at left mid does, first half he was barely on the ball

I agree. We have to get him on the ball as much as we can. He makes things happen. On the other hand, Joe Allen is having a blinder this pre-season. But he has to sharpen his finishing if he`s going to thrive in that position.

04 Aug 2013 17:50:42
Great decision to make the site registered users only, makes me feel special {Ed002's Note - You will always be special to us Bobby Banana.}

Is that in a window licking way ;-)

04 Aug 2013 17:43:49
Not so much banter but can we afford Muriel and Martinez long term when, if they are as good as people say and we don't fufil expectations they would go for half the price . I know this is fantasy but Couts come to mind

04 Aug 2013 15:56:06
Afternoon Ed's - could you tell me what's the latest on Will Hughes Derby, he looks an outstanding talent. be interesting to see how he gets on this season.
Cheers
Prendergel {Ed001's Note - he is looking to stay at Derby for now. Though he would consider offers the club accepts, he is not pushing for a move and would only take a move he feels is right for him.}

04 Aug 2013 14:21:06
Well done Eds it appears you have taken the bull by the horns and dealt with some of the trolling and mudslinging! ED01 I hope you feel good about the site again watching it being dragged down must have been like seeing your firstborn become an alcoholic destined to live in a box. Seems more like the good old days now. The stand you have taken is appreciated. {Ed001's Note - it does feel better on here now, much less toxic.}

Do you guys still have to deal with anonymous posts though? {Ed002's Note - We are getting to a point where there are a lot less.}

04 Aug 2013 17:34:41
what a great site now. no bull or repeating questions and answers, must be sighs of relief for the eds now. {Ed002's Note - We all have to keep it up now.}

04 Aug 2013 17:15:29
I no it's only pre season but you can't not be impressed with Aspas, 3 goals and 3 assists in 5 games shown desire determination and a real team player.

I agree-fantastic start for the lad. Him and Coutinho look like they've played together for years! I'm not even sure we desperately need a Suarez replacement-we've already got one!

Early days of course but looking like another brilliant signing by BR

04 Aug 2013 17:11:50
Dave Whelan on tv said that Suarez didn't go to Gerrards dinner because Luis is on a gluten free diet and they were serving pasta as the main course! So forget all the conspiracy theories our Luis didn't turn up on culinary grounds {Ed002's Note - Man I love this stuff.}

Haha so they couldn't order another meal/dish? The person just didn't want to be there. Torres did the same when he was sulking, Gerrard had to force him to engage in team bonding activities. I am eagerly awaiting the Uruguay friendly soon, maybe then Suarez will explain how ungrateful he is to LFC again and how much he hates them. Maybe then fans will stop worshiping him.

04 Aug 2013 18:22:56
Does ivanovic not contain gluten?

04 Aug 2013 16:53:23
I'm enjoying the positive mood on this site right now.

Hopefully we can keep it going into the new season.

Puzzled Red {Ed002's Note - I agree.}

04 Aug 2013 16:48:10
Hey eds, great log in feature, love it!
How long is Sturridge going to be out for?

Thanks! {Ed002's Note - See earlier answers.}

Met him last night and said he would be in training on Monday

04 Aug 2013 15:57:36
Site looks to be getting back to how it used to be before it got over run with negative persons and trolls. Great job eds. my first post for over a year because of the negative persons don't know how you eds coped. Looking forward to some good banter this season as well as some good football. Just want it on record now 3rd or at least 4th this season. We were only 3/4 wins off 4th last season and that's with the worst start for a hundred years. Thanks for giving the site back to the decent posters eds.

04 Aug 2013 13:54:36
Dear all loving the new format! what's your score prediction for our first home game against stoke city . I think 3-0? keep up the great work Ed's

I'll go with 2-1. Call it Sturridge + a Stoke OG for the fun of it.

Let's go 4 nil, get season off to a flyer.

WaltonRed {Ed002's Note - Welcome WR.}

I`ll just take 3 points.

And we can be top of league as we play before anyone else :-p ill go for 3-1 Agger Sturridge & coutinho

04 Aug 2013 13:42:23
Awesome site eds, just registered and posting first post. Can wait for the season to start, bring on the top 4 {Ed002's Note - Thanks man.}

04 Aug 2013 13:37:12
Hey guys just my thought that BR is blossoming really nicely as manager and his philosophy about the way he plays football "death by football" is really starting to take shape on evidence since about jan last year and the incline of improvement is there to see with results. My opinion when BR came in was he's the Liverpool manager ill stand by him always but felt slightly miffed at results (naturally) around December but still kept the faith (as always), the way BR and the club are handling Suarez at the moment is finally showing a united front and solidarity within our club which has been what we've been craving for. Whoever wants fsg out is/was either a troll or a manc stirring up. What's wrong with a tightly sound financial run ship? Or a financially viable run club? NOTHING! I love the "new" look Liverpool, the way we play and BR's public persona and investing in what he believes is the right player for our football club

Well done FSG for having the right frame of mind for picking the right man at the right time for LFC when others wanted the big named manager or somebody who's philosophies have already been successful in the past and are dated, great ownership. Thank you for reading keep up the good work everybody, I think our kops full voice will be back this season

Well said my friend the club is turning round patience is key but we will continue to improve just look at who's coming through

Love this post Matt, love it. Almost as much as I love my club, great to see sensible posts and all said in the right vain. Site is running so well now eds, thanks for sorting it out once and for all.

04 Aug 2013 13:33:32
first of all eds great move on getting people to register, been a pleasure to come on here in last few days. well done

secondly now that we seem to be able to have rational discussions on here I wonder what other peoples take on a defensive signing would be.

I for one am a big fan of papadopolus and would be happy if we did sign him BUT I do think we are weaker at left back than at centre half. Obviously still a month to go in the window but making a couple of assumptions that skrtl and coates will go and agger stays then toure and agger will start about 90% of the games barring injury and I think kelly and to a lesser extent wisdom could ably cover that position when needed. that being said I think if we had around 15 mill to spend for papa then we should use that for a top left back and maybe a loan for a decent CB. If we go for a loan for cissokho or melgajero etc that would just give us 2 average left backs, while getting papa would give us 3 top CBs one of which would be wasted on the bench. for me if there is a possibility of getting him I would make a big bid for luke shaw, already as good as enrique and will be a lot better in a year or 2.

obviously all based on conjecture, wether we're even interested in papa? do we have that money to spend? is shaw available/interested? etc etc but just my thoughts. any others welcome :) {Ed002's Note - So sign up yourself then.}

I don't get it ed? I am signed up, I registered the other day. I'm confused now {Ed002's Note - Well you weren't logged on and now you are. And in answer to your question, I am sorry but Shaw will not be moving to Liverpool.}

Quick question, does the site log you out if you haven't used it for a certain amount of time? I have a tendency to just leave the page open on my laptop and check it every now and again, that may be why my post showed up as if I wasn't logged in? :) {Ed002's Note - Not as far as I know.}

04 Aug 2013 15:52:01
Hi eds

Now can we ask if there is any interest in any South American players.

YNWA-SA {Ed002's Note - Costa is of interest.}

04 Aug 2013 15:40:17
I understand LFCs position on Suarez, but all this talk about "top 4 is gone without luis!" Is ridiculous. Luis is a one man show, we play better TEAM football without him on the pitch. While I would love to see a happy luis stay, which I doubt he will, I have NO fear of playing arsenal if they manage to get him, just like I had no fear of playing ManU when they got RVP. LFC should hold out for a transfer request, sell him for as much as possible, and move on. I think we have a team hungry for success, not human flesh.

04 Aug 2013 15:27:09
Long time reader of this site. Just registered now so I can join in with the "Banter"
Great work Eds, never enough credit given for your hard work. {Ed002's Note - Thanks.}

04 Aug 2013 15:12:54
any update on praet eds please, didn't know if talks happened when we were discussing assiadi to Anderlecht thanks in advance {Ed002's Note - Nothing at all. Sorry.}

04 Aug 2013 14:54:24
any updates on costa ed do you think this deal will happen? think he is a good player just what we need a bit of steel in the side {Ed002's Note - See earlier answers please.}

04 Aug 2013 14:42:49
I posted this earlier.

I don't think people realise how big a decision the whole selling Suarez deal is. It's far bigger than the sale of Torres as back then we were CL regulars, it's been 4 years now and it's hurt the club both financially and by team strength.

I would be interested to hear people's opinions

Having Suarez or not will not make us get back into the top 4, didn't help us last year, so why would it now?
I personally think that selling him and using some or all of the money to finance moves for a cb and attacker would be better than keeping Suarez,
The way we clicked as a TEAM last few games of the season and the friendliest so far isn't down to Suarez or any one player but about the 11 on the pitch and the subs bench working for each other, how can Suarez do this when he has acted the way he has.
Suarez will leave ayre Rodgers and FSG saying the right things to get the best price, top 4 will be here soon.

sorry eds, didn't register earlier so here it goes again
for the sake of conversation
if we do sign diego costa, how big of a gamble do you think he is, considering he will be worth 20+ mil, how much do you guys rate him? he seems like a beast for a winger, no?

Agree mate looks good, lot of fight in the lad. Think more 14mil mark would be the right price, but with them already selling their main striker this year, they won't let him go for under 20

Eds.
Has there ever been any such thing as a 'smokescreen'? {Ed002's Note - No, but by tomorrow morning rumours will be circulating about the two hour over-night black out that I will predict will happen to this site tonight. Obviously getting ready for some big, big news.}

Out of curiousness r u being sarcastic lol thelfcullah {Ed002's Note - No, I am serious. I predict a two hour over-night black out tonight.}

What's this about ed? {Ed002's Note - Is it not clear?}

Talking about transfer news not the big blackout or whatever lfcullah

04 Aug 2013 12:40:30
So the crack seems to be that Suarez is defo leaving then.
Apparently he never pitched up to Gerrard's dinner do afterwards either.
I hope to god that he doesn't go to Arsenal.
Going back to 1970, there has only been one player (Jimmy Carter in 91) that was sold to them.
One player!
And we've only bought two off them in that time as well.
That's nearly in the Manchester United category of must nots.

So that should tell Suarez and the powers-that-be at Liverpool something.

Oh, and btw, sorry to upset the love-in on here, but if and when Suarez goes, that'll be two of our best ever strikers sold during the short watch of FSG.
Food for thought.

The Juicer {Ed002's Note - You really do need to register J.}

04 Aug 2013 14:21:07
What's your point juicer?
Owen was sold, Fowler was sold, Rush was sold. FSG weren't in charge then.
Players come and players go, LFC remains

Two of our best strikers ever? I would have to disagree with that statement. Torres was woeful the last 18 months he was with the club. And no one has dragged our club through more filth than Suarez. These two facts alone make them not two of our best. Just another dig at the owners of our great club.

What is the relevance of the history between transfers of the two clubs?

Liverpool signed a boss player in Ray Kennedy from the club, so these things do happen. Anyway, I've never been aware of any issues between the two clubs other than the last 3-4 seasons of apparently competing for 4th place, which in truth we've been miles off and Arsenal have been a far more consistent outfit regarding league positions of late.

Money talks mate, and if they offer the asking amount then so be it.

Do you think Utd fans want Rooney to Chelsea?

The answer is simply no, yet that money will be better spent on another player in which the club feel will improve the squad and the same will apply to Liverpool IF any interested parties pay what the club expects for the player.

Yes he's contracted to the club but in a sense Suarez has us by the town-halls so we need to be careful.

I don't see how its relevant that 2 strikers have left whilst fsg have been the owners both wanted to leave torres sulked and saurez has told any body who will listen that he wants out I can't see what fsg could do in either situation other than to get the best money on offer for both hardly food for thought there not to blame in either situation

2 of our best ever strikers were sold because they wanted to leave, it had nothing got to do with FSG. Every penny of the Torres sale was put back into transfers just like I'm sure every penny of Suarez's sale will be also

Resale value in its finest Juicer.

Ozone

You can`t blame the owners in regard to Suarez. He doesn't want to be at our great club end of. He doesn`t deserve to wear the red shirt. Even with the reception he got yesterday it was quite clear he has made his mind up. I for one don`t want him or any other player that isn`t going to sweat blood for the cause. Sell him to whoever if they meet the price £55 mill not a penny less if not then jog on.

Just sell him already. Sell him and get rid of him ASAP.

He has wrought more damage to the club's name and he wants out. So sell him. Sell him yesterday.

04 Aug 2013 12:18:10
Eds, just a question regarding Suarez. I know he's banned for the first six matches of next season, but would he be banned if he moved outside of England to, let's say, Real Madrid?

Also, if he didn't move, would he be allowed play with the reserves in Liverpool?

Thanks! {Ed002's Note - (1) He would be banned - the local FA will recognise the ban. (2) No he can't.}

04 Aug 2013 12:06:00
This site is becoming a bit like a 60's love in.
All very lovely and a welcome feel good atmosphere after a long period of it being dominated by mindless vitriol.
But I would just like to point out that Happy Post Day is over and I think the registration system is designed to stop trolling, not to stop posters with a constructively critical viewpoint of the club.
I would therefore encourage such posters to register and be a part of the discussions.
Otherwise, its going to be like my marriage and I will need to start "swinging" across to the Manchester United pages to inject a little excitement into my relationship with the site. {Ed002's Note - That is fine - we are open to reasoned discussion about most matters - and once we have settled, even perhaps the finances. As the season rolls on, perhaps those that are concerned with the owners will see that they are doing a pretty good job after all, or perhaps others will come around to seeing them as evil hambones. But the plan is to keep the discussions manageable - which should suit everyone.}

You've got a stalker!

04 Aug 2013 11:58:24
This is now, without a shadow of doubt, the best football site anywhere.

Well done Eds. {Ed002's Note - Thanks.}

Totally Agree with u and with your name as well

04 Aug 2013 11:52:40
Hi Eds. Any word on Sturridge's injury, is he back in training? {Ed002's Note - There is nothing right now. Clubs tend not to put information about injuries out in the close season. Tuesdays and Fridays are the best times for such information.}

Asked him at testimonial dinner and he said he was back training on Monday (the 5th of August. )

Hopefully should see him get a few mins v celtic

04 Aug 2013 11:43:42
Is it just me or does Ed02 sound happier or in this case write happier since there will be less negative and abuse in comments :D

04 Aug 2013 13:42:22
Yes must say Ed02 seems much better and happier and this site as a hole seems a lot better hopefully we can do are bit to by signing up etc and keeping it clean and respectful to just to the eds but other posters just because we might not agree we don't have to be nasty and snappy as long as it s put in a respectful way everyone one has a right to believe in wot they want, just look at Everton fans, joke ha ha, no harm bit of fun I suppose is ok that why it banter but no one needs to be spoke to out of line or put down, there is one paper a read some times on line and look at comments and there's one arsenal fan and wow he really goes for it carnt believe how they let him post any thing so wot I'm trying to say is I'm
Very happy this is getting cleaned up and hats off to Ed02 seems I lot happier big thanks to all the eds and anyone else behind this site any thing else that will help this site get better is Only for the better, only a joke Everton fans best of luck for this season having a good Everton team is good for Liverpool if you still awake sorry for long post

04 Aug 2013 11:41:28
Finally registered, it's a bit sad that it has come to this to ensure that the Ed's don't get abused, but if it improves the site I am all for it, especially if it means more of an insight given by the Editors. It's also a shame to see so much talk about Suarez today, on a day that should have been all about Steven. Especially as it will be a very long time that we see another of his kind at this football club.
Whilst I'm on here, it really does shock me that Ed02 recieves the majority of the abuse, he has been pretty much spot on all Summer, and I for one really appreciate his/her insight. {Ed002's Note - Thanks - we are trying to make it better for all. As and when I have time I'll be dropping in some snippets which might be of interest.}

04 Aug 2013 11:36:37
Quick mention to Ed02, after the bollox u had to put up with off so called reds fans, hope us all signing up has showed you how much we value your input on this site {Ed002's Note - I appreciate that.}

04 Aug 2013 11:32:10
hi eds what is so bad about diego costa why did he face diserplinary action
can you explain to me everything he done wrong
cheers ed great work {Ed002's Note - He has on a number of occasions done some dumb things but you would likely do better to do a little research about the player than asking me.}

04 Aug 2013 11:12:12
Sometimes in life, illusions can be shattered by a single action. I had two shattered yesterday. Firstly for example, years I have been under the impression that Ed02 was a young lady, only to find out yesterday that she is in fact an old man!

The second illusion that was shattered yesterday was that it is now crystal clear to me that the EDs have been right all along about Suarez. I didn't want it to be true but it is obvious he wants leave. For a player who has put this great club of ours through the turmoil he has created is bad enough, but to act the way he did yesterday by not reciprocating the fans applause, says it all to me.

I loved him as a player, and yes I even loved him as a man and defended him to the hilt through his racial brush with **ra ( even to this day I can't even bear to type his name ), but I have now come to the point where I genuinely think it is in the best interests of our great club to let the man go. He has orchestrated this move cleverly, he has betrayed the fans who still adore him, but most importantly for me, I have lost the respect I once had for him.

Liverpool fans over the years have demonstrated one clear character trait, they are the worlds best friends to anyone they genuinely hold dear to our great club, but let this be a reminder to Suarez, they can also be the worlds worst enemies to anyone who betrays us.

I genuinely type this with a sad heart after watching him yesterday. I think he is making a huge mistake, but if he leaves us, I know he will always remember the truly awesome reception he received yesterday, despite what he has put the fans through.

We can hold our heads high with pride and honour, we did the correct thing yesterday to one of ours, but somehow i'm not sure Luis can now

04 Aug 2013 11:01:37
100% agree with BR on the sale value of Suarez, if Bales worth 80, 90 or even 100 million ( which he's not ) then Suarez who happens to be the 3rd best player in the world behind Messi and Ronaldo is surely a 100 million pound player.

Arsenals offer of 40 million is a joke and Wenger knows it, he's alright coming out and slagging off the price of Bale saying its obsence when he knows that he's trying to get Suarez on the cheap it's double standards.

If Wenger thinks he can get Suarez for 40 million and then guarantee champions league football for the next 5 yrs for Arsenal at our expense at what cost would that be to Liverpool? 50, 60 70 million a season.

I know people say its no good keeping an unsettled player at the club but on this occasion I think the club are handling the situation brilliantly. Suarez has 3yrs left on his contract, Liverpool know they hold the aces, sell Suarez for anything less than 100 million to Arsenal then we can kiss goodbye to the CL for the forseeable future.

Or sell Suarez to a team outside the Premiership Real or Bayern PSG Monaco etc and use the millions from the sale to make our team even stronger than Arsenals and Spurs which gives us the edge on finishing above both London clubs.

I don't think people realise how big a decision the whole selling Suarez deal is. It's far bigger than the sale of Torres as back then we were CL regulars, it's been 4 years now and it's hurt the club both financially and by team strength.

Keep the faith Liverpool FC and don't give in.

Curled1 {Ed002's Note - Good.}

Bale is a few years younger and doesn't have all the baggage that Suarez has. He's also not likely to miss as many games through getting suspended, so like it or not, Suarez is worth less.

04 Aug 2013 10:55:49
Mornings eds, quick question for you, is an email address a pre-requisite for registration.will appreciate an answer. {Ed002's Note - Yes it is.}

04 Aug 2013 09:54:36
Hi Eds, I took my 3 yr old son to his first game yesterday, he loved it and I was the proudest dad in the world that my son watched SG have a great day and witness my hero GOD in action, although he's a little wider these days.

We saw Danny Sturridge buying an ice cream out side the game, I had left as soon as Stevie G was subbed to a standing ovation because my wife is 7 1/2 months pregnant,,

After Danny I ended up following Roy Evans who was with another guy, and listened to him talk. he was talking about luis and saying he wants to go, he's gone, he reiterated he's going, he's going. He was speaking in a rather harsh tone like he'd only just found out about the news and sounded very disgusted in Suarez. I then butted in and asked if he was going because he did'nt know I was behind him and I then asked outright but I just got a shrug and a bit of a grin.

I had hoped the fans reception and carras constant arm around the shoulder yesterday would change his mind but obviously not. Onwards and upwards though great game yesterday and much to be hopeful for. With or without him! {Ed002's Note - I am glad you enjoyed yourselves.}

04 Aug 2013 09:33:03
I'm with Gerrard in thinking our season completely comes down to Suarez.

Yeah because it's all down to one player isn't it? Nothing to do with the other 10 players on the field or the ones sitting on the bench.
We have, for far too long, relied on one person to do something special. We need a team of winners not just one person who everyone looks to.

Surely it will come down to who we replace him with if he goes, and how well we play, with him or without him, whichever it might be.

I'm not sorry mr gerrard, I have faith we never made top 4 last year or year before with him, think as a squad we a lot stronger as I've seen from lfc for good few years, if we sell Suarez for a lot of money then great 55m 60m etc but if he stays great we won't lose, just as long the money does not spent well!
Ynwa

I don't think that, i'm looking forward to Sturridge coming back and the 1 or 2 new faces people are talking about to hopefully share the goals about.

My concerns (if any) would be if Skrtel & (as well as Coates) are to go and we are looking at another left back then that's a huge change to the back 5.

04 Aug 2013 08:42:01
Thanks EDS for doing a wonderful job on happy post day.
I would like to have a virtual group hug with all the EDs and Posters (only if there registered) some time today.
Would be great if you could suggest a suitable time for this to take place. Think it would further cement the feel good factor on this wonderful site:-)) {Ed002's Note - We will be keeping it up KM. And thanks.}

Your going to be putting people off registering with this hug kid. Haha

Eds how are you all, I would like to know if Liverpool are still scouting other brazilians apart from Bernard? Thanks. {Ed002's Note - All major clubs continue scouting across the world.}

04 Aug 2013 07:44:46
Can I just say that people getting on BR's back need to have a little rethink. I have been crying out for weeks for him to use Gareth Bale as an example and benchmark for the sale of Suarez. Yes Suarez wants to go, but at the same time by all accounts so does Bale! I really don't see why spurs should be demanding a world record fee for a player who was at best just as good as Suarez last season yet where supposed to be happy with 40mil? I think Rodgers is doing a really good job with the press and driving the price up as much as possible. 40m for a player of suarez's ability with 3 years left on his contract is nothing short of disrespectful. I'm happy with the way the club are handling the situation at present and hopefully we will get a bid of at least 55m and all move on from this boring saga.

04 Aug 2013 06:58:53
This transfer window started brightly, everyone positive (or deluded) about the prospects for new signings and our chances of a top 4 finish. Now there seems to be an air of dismay!

We were short on quality cover in nearly every position last season, and we have since lost carragher, reina, suso, skrtel, with others to follow. Suarez will go and Agger may follow, and I don't believe that we will be able to replace them players of equal quality.

It seems to me that we have some money to spend, but we don't know where to spend it, or that the players targeted aren't interested in coming to Anfield.

With all due respect, you do not know who our targets are. All you know is what the media tells you and what you hear. BR is going about his business, I know that they are all hard at work trying to find the right players at the right price. Patience is a virtue son

04 Aug 2013 04:28:47
Eds,
not claiming to be ITK but Arsenal look like they are being used to set up a market for LS and start a bidding war. Obviously Real is his preference but with Bale deal floating around, there is a concern they may not be able to buy LS in this window. Coincidentally the Arsenal noise seems to be dying down and the Liverpool rhetoric of retaining him seems to be increasing.

On that basis wouldn't it be more likely that he pushes for a move in January window as he won't be tie bound for any ECL team and would also have an idea of Liverpool Top 4 prospects. He won't have played much either given his suspension so barring injury, can't see his value dropping too much. {Ed001's Note - not really likely, clubs don't tend to spend big in January, though he does have the advantage of not being cup tied for Europe.}

Unless he does something crazy between now and Jan. Not impossible if you're honest.

Daniel Agger is a class fullback, and I can understand the interest from Barcelona. He has been a fantastic player for LFC and loves the club, even getting YNWA tattooed across his fingers. My question is, how does the club accept a bid for Skrtle with reported interest in Agger, Carragher having retired and Coates available for transfer? That leaves Martin Kelly and Andre Wisdom as options at center back. I would think we need not only depth, but quality at the position. -Jack Straw {Ed002's Note - If the guy leaves he will be replaced.}

Um, Dagger is a CB not a full back!

04 Aug 2013 01:46:07
so lfc are finally about to get some good press,
john henry and fsg have bought the boston globe,
an paper previously sold for 1.1 billion in the 90s, our mr henry has picked up for 70 million.so mabey he will turn it into our " marca" where we will tap up the players
we want by talking up intrest and quoting "insiders" at the club.just a tought.

Hi eds hope yr well.
In your honest opinion how many new faces do you think are still to come in? Cheers {Ed030's Note - I think 1 or 2 possibly even 3. }

Cheers ed

Ed030,
What positions do the three targets you have mentioned play? {Ed030's Note - I don't know anything regarding transfer mate,Anything that I hear is from Ed002 or Ed001,I hope for a LB,Cam and Lw. }

04 Aug 2013 00:46:02
Hello eds, first time poster here.Great site by the way. I have to say i'm really pleased with the way things are going at the club, Brendan has handled the Suarez situation well and I think he is right in saying Luis should be worth almost the same as bale because over the last few years I've felt like we have made some poor decisions in the transfer market of letting players go for less than they are worth and bringing players in for more than their worth.

Another thing is you can see the type of players he is trying to bring to the club, he's looking for players that are fighter's, that don't know how to give up which I think is a good thing as it could push us into that top four this season. I really believe this season we will get there once we keep supporting the team, as we all know at some stage of the season we will have a few bad results. I really think the only weak part of our team is left back and another centre half for cover especially if Skrtel leaves, but all in all I think we will finish this season strong. Do you think we will try and get new signings in before the season starts or will brendan assess it after the first couple of games.

Really looking forward to the game in Dublin as I only get to go over for one game every season.YNWA {Ed002's Note - I would think BR knows what he wants already. Obtaining the players might not be so easy.}

04 Aug 2013 00:27:37

04 Aug 2013 00:18:58
Having read the open letter from the Greek team's president tonight I find myself wondering if we should set up a club affiliation of some sort with them.
Where we could send the likes of Sterling on loan to them to play if he's out of the first team.
No necessarily Sterling in particular, any good young kid who might be on the verge of our first team but needs game time.
Like what Utd had with Antwerp.
Just a thought.

I so agree with you, I hope it happens somehow

hi eds sorry to bring the suarez issue up again but I see one of you mentioned there are 3 teams interested in suarez just wondering who the 3rd team is with the other 2 presumably being real and arsenal? also with skrtel looking likely to leave could kelly finally make the move to cb with wisdom being back up at rb? {Ed002's Note - See earlier answers.}

hi everyone and the eds, just been looking through all the posts and now we have to register it hasn't half made a difference to what is being wrote. watched the match today and thought the way we played was fast and fluent. aspas to me will be a fans favorite if he carries on the way he played today. good to see players like hendo and allen getting praise instead of stick. I for one believe that BRs way of playing is beginning to show, and hopefully will start reaping its rewards. I would like to ask a question, the commentators kept saying this is BRs starting 11, what is wrong with the young alberto? is he a squad player or starting 11. I ask as over the last couple of friendlies he has been used sparingly. {Ed002's Note - They should know it is a squad not a team.}

03 Aug 2013 23:05:48
Posters of a certain age (a group which includes myself) do not always read the header - the result
is they may not immediately know about registering and logging-in to get their posts up- maybe Editors should make allowance for us geriatrics when we try to post as before and give
a gentle reminder rather than consigning posts to
the trash bin as a matter of course. Senility is a
problem and quite possibly a nuisance, but surely not a crime

Got registered for the first time. I live in the U.S and have been a Liverpool fan for 30yrs. I live and bleed Liverpool and wouldn`t trade it for anything. The moments of that this great club and players have given me will remain w/ me forever. I`ve been on this site for over a year and it is addictive. Wanted to give a shout-out to my dude Stevie G. He`s a beast and a legend of football worldwide. His testimonial was amazing even though I watched about the first 15 mins. I think we have to sort out the Suarez situation so as not to be a distraction. By this I don`t mean sell him to anyone at any price. If they can`t meet our evaluation, then he stays and sucks it up. I also think we must come together and support the team, owners and coaching staff. We must stand together and resist cynicism, doom-mongers and naysayers who think we are dead and gone. We are not. We are NOT. We are only taking a breather b4 our rise back to power. Support with all u have in you and never give up no matter the odds, my fellow reds for we did not give up in Istanbul or against West Ham in the FA cup and we won`t be doing that now. Looking forward to posting regularly. Great job, eds! U guys are AWESOME! {Ed002's Note - We love you man.}

Evening Eds and all.
Just wanna share a little experience I had tonight with a rather obnoxious admin on a Facebook group, who I will leave un-named. I got banned.
Here is the convo in a nut shell.
Admin " I love Luis suarez, he doesn't want to leave, we should ignore the lying press, he wants to stay, let's ignore his personality traits. "
Me- "He wants to go and has stated many times, his agent has even spoken to our direct competition. He is a lying rat, that bites people and probably did not deserve the class shown to him by our fans today."
Him- You are a b*** end. Banned. "
Ha! So, there you go.
I blame you Eds, how dare you keep my feet on the ground, with un-bias, informed logic.

, that's so funny mate, we all blame you eds for any info, than again and again we come for more and more :)

I agree with Admin Davey, sorry - we need to keep Luis Suarez, we have to show other teams and prospective decent signings that we still have ambition, and selling your best player is wrong. And BR is right in saying Suarez is worth at least what Bale is worth.

I bet the unnamed person was Harry Scousser?
Sorry Harry but couldn't resist.

03 Aug 2013 21:56:31
Suarez wants out and Liverpool want the best money they can get for him. Brendan pointed out today about the money Real are prepared to pay for Bale. Suarez is worth just as much. Diego Costa is being eyed up as his replacement.

Why don't we just swap with Bale instead!

03 Aug 2013 21:52:59
Hey eds, just wondering what is the latest on Sturridge's fitness? Will he be fit for the start of the season do you think? {Ed001's Note - should be.}

03 Aug 2013 21:45:39
Hi eds
How can Suarez take legal action if we don't sell I've never heard the likes of any other club in this situation we just need to keep doing what we r doing and say no he is not for sale and Rodgers is bang on when he says if bale goes for 100 mill then Suarez is not valued at half bales value {Ed001's Note - we ended up with the Bosman ruling after a player took legal action to get out of a contract. So I think you will find you have heard of a similar situation. While this is not exactly the same thing, he was out of contract etc, it is still not unheard of for solicitors to become involved when a player wants to move clubs and the club blocks a sale.}

04 Aug 2013 04:39:42
didn't he try it to get out of Groningen.

And fail miserably? {Ed001's Note - he threatened to, not sure he actually went through with it.}

You are right ED - but think back a few years and the last time solicitors got involved in one of our prospective transfers - Heinze, from that lot down the M62 - they came out in favour of the selling club.

lucas was great today. lfc is different as a defensive unit when he is there. cover lots of ground and so many ball winning tackles, runs.
i can't see why people don't rate him.
also alberto is not first team material, hez like way below coutinho and sterling .
still more signings required,
any body rate keissling here (leverkusen). I would love if we get him.? anything on him eds?

I hope people saw today what Suarez was about today. A player on a mission to leave, with no recognition of the fans.

So they cheered him, he ignored them.
So they cheered him, he treated then with disdain.
So they cheered him, he effectively was ambivalent.

Compare LS with God. No need to as there is no comparison.

God loves the Club. LS doesn't give a damn.

Do us all a favour and hand in a transfer request LS, go to Arsenal and realise what a mistake you made.
