Bob the red.that post nearly had me crying for pepe losing his friends and his ambitions going tits up, it must be terrible to have to make a choice like whether to go or stay with a club where the fans love you and treat you like a hero everywhere you go, i bet he can't sleep at night worrying if he is ever going to get a medal or a cup with this club ever again, hes really hard done by, the wife and i struggle on £90 per week after both working for 40yrs and both losing our jobs 2 yrs ago, yet we still love and shout for him and the reds, if he can't cope on 100k a week to play for us with a passion, id say let him go, get someone who does, jimmybosun

{Ed002's Note - I am not sure that any English team aside from Manchester City would consider Aguero's wages as a viable option. Certainly Liverpool should be able to finance most possible transfer targets without an issue. Not offering Champions League football will be a slight problem.}
I think not having champions league will only affect us getting the top top players that every team are after, the likes of Sanchez, Hazard, Mata, Ganso etc. When we get champions league football, I believe we will next season then we can start targeting these players. For now we can't bring them here.
05 Mar 2011 23:36:39
Question? . Would Charlie Adam qualify as a home grown player for EPL as he is Scots? .
05 Mar 2011 23:37:27
Gerrard has been ruled out of Man U clash
05 Mar 2011 23:38:50
What about spurs how would they have affored agueros wages? surely they can't have more money than us?
05 Mar 2011 23:12:24
Can we rival the big clubs then regarding transfers such as aguero or afford them? {Ed002's Note - I am not sure that any English team aside from Manchester City would consider Aguero's wages as a viable option.

Erm ed, who actually is this macca i keep hearing about and why does everyone cling to his every word? {Ed005's Note - He is a poster who posts information he gets regarding rumours. It appears he has reliable inside information most of the time, as he's got many things spot on, such as Hodgson's sacking.}
05 Mar 2011 22:39:31
Just harping to the Reina interview, where the full transcript has been released. Now i've read the knee jerk reactions who basically say he should do one, but i think we, as fans, have a very important role to play here until the end of the season.
Reina is clearly at the crossroads of his career and to understand his predictament we need to see some of his issues from his perspective.
Firstly, he has seen first hand the utter chaos created by the regime of Hicks and Gillett. Going from the the top ranking team in Europe to that of a team that is genuinely struggling to qualify for the european consolation cup. All this in the space of two years.
Secondly, great/ excellent players have been allowed to leave but not replaced adequately. I'm certainly not Mascherano's biggest fan but to compare him with Poulsen is a great example.
Thirdly, he has admitted he thought about leaving in the summer but the club would not allow him, Torres or Gerrard to leave whilst it was up for sale. We now know Madrid were in for Gerrard, Chelsea for Torres but the un-named club for Reina is still in the dark. He re-signed a contract of committment, with a get out clause he has admitted he wanted put in, what the details of that/ those clause(s) are he's keeping to himself.
Fourthly, Reina without doubt is a top world class keeper. You do not get to be at the peak of your profession without hard work, talent and a desire to win that burns deep inside of you. In short you will never have a world class player at an also ran, tin pot club who's greatest achievement is finishing in the top 8 of their league and having the odd good cup run, regardless of their history.
He has seen all his native friends leave the club from the manager who bought him, to his best friends and whilst that isn't the be all and end all of being a footballer, when you join a club and get to know the fabric of that club with these companions by the side of you, when they go, it leaves a hole, especially when your best mate leaves with whom you spend all your time with on travels, at lunch after training etc.etc.
However, that's the negatives out of the way. The positives? After all the crap listed above, he's still unsure whether he stays or goes. I'll be totally honest, if i were Reina i'd have been out of the door in the summer running as fast as i could. To stay is career suicide and i'm a die hard fan.
He needs to see ambition in the owners. Translated that's decent players coming in, in the summer. Not the Poulsen's and Konchesky's he's had to wipe his hand after shaking hands with them. It's pure conjecture whether the names of Adam, Young, Marveaux, M'Vila will be enough for Reina to stay if they signed?
It depends on our finish at the end of this season. Translated that means european football. Reina wants/ needs Champions League. We may not even get Europa league either, however europa league and decent signings maybe enough to convince Reina to stay one more season at least.
He needs to feel the love of the fans. He has felt the wrath of the fans towards Torres and he is not impressed with the lack of respect shown towards his mate. He is protecting Torres from the very people with whom there is a close bond with the club. That feeling doesn't auger well at all and that is a worry. It may explain why he refuses to rule out going to manure in the summer, knowing how we would baulk at the suggestion.
We need to ensure when looking at Reina we do not see Torres. I suspect some of the bad feeling towards the way Torres engineered his way out of the club is being transmitted toward Reina and all of a sudden we do not trust him. He'll pick up on this, if he hasn't already.
We need to show our love and support to him right now and show him how much we trust him and want him to remain at the club. We need to do our bit, the club needs to their bit.
Ultimately he may still leave, but that really isn't the point. We need to re-start showing we care about the players and stop being so shallow and callous towards them.
If he does leave in the summer, then the club will have santioned it and the adage of 'the club is bigger' will need to be read. We'll get a great price and fetch in a great keeper who'll come to a club with great history and reveried by the fans.
So we haven't anything to lose in supporting Reina and doing everything in our powers to convince him to stay becuase thanks to H&G that is exactly what we need to do at this present moment in time.
Hope you enjoyed and it diverts from the tedious posts of transfer targets.

Ed is it true NESV are roughly worth 11 billion or what do you reckon their personal wealth combined is? and do you think aguero would be worth a bid because he certainly seems to be? {Ed005's Note - No-one really knows what they are worth mate. I don't think it matters that they aren't mega rich like Roman Abramovic or Sheik Mansour. They have good intentions for the club, they cleared the debt and they want to take the club back to where we feel we belong. And I'd much rather we didn't spend like City for example, where players cost double what their worth and worry more about wages than playing for our club.}
05 Mar 2011 21:10:28
Ed and readers what are your predictions for tomorrow and also opinions on will carroll start be on the bench or not involved i think bench and a 1-0
thanks

05 Mar 2011 20:52:20
ED you keep questioning the chances of us signing A.Young and C.Adam, however we need to remember that we have a quota of home-grown players that needs to be fulfilled. Maybe this is the reason why we are going for these 2 signings? They are also comfortable in the PL which Turan, Payet. . etc may not be.
05 Mar 2011 20:53:38
Any word on Carroll starting tomorrow hes 7/ 1 for the 1st goal
05 Mar 2011 20:53:53
In response to 5 mar 2011 19:46:21 on the Liverpool rumours site
My squad talk were not rumours, just speculation. Besides I based it all on what i've seen of the players. Don't even play video games!

Ed, Will wislon and ayala be pushing for first 11 next season and mavinga and kelly Be' starters? {Ed002's Note - yes, yes, I doubt it, yes.}
05 Mar 2011 20:51:36
If the reports are true on Sanchez (and I hope they are), plus Marvueax on a free.
Would also like to see Honda,
Banega
Turan
With these signings and the inclusion into the squad next season of Pacheco
Sterling
Suso
Coady
This would give us one he'll of a squad of players with maybe a centre half lacking. What do you think Ed? {Ed002's Note - I think you have to stop responding to your own posts.}
05 Mar 2011 20:33:31
If the rumours on Sanchez are true which obviously I hope they are and we do pull off signing him.
Plus the arrival of Marvueax on a free would give us two quality wide men. I would like us to try and sign these others as well.
E. Banega Valencia.
K. Honda CSKA.
A. Turan Gala.
S. Kjaer Wolfsburg.
05 Mar 2011 20:35:04
Ed, champions league is pretty much out of reach this season. Would you agree that unless we get Champions League football next year, it's going to be difficult to attract quality in players? {Ed001's Note - no I wouldn't, Champions League isn't the be all and end all for every player.}
05 Mar 2011 20:50:51
Ed, Will wislon and ayala be pushing for first 11 next season and mavinga and kelly Be' starters? {Ed001's Note - Kelly will be a starter, he already is. Impossible to say with the rest, unless your name is Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish! That man makes his own choices.}
05 Mar 2011 20:21:22
Spurs ownership worth over 3 billions far more than the financial backing we have, and more to the point the owners of spurs will spend more than ours. But that does not mater . .
What matters is who will finish 4th , I do believe Aguero will move in the summer, and as far as I heard chelsea have agreed something, however if they fail to qualify for CL (unlikely) , spurs will be a possibility. . (Unless Madrid or Barcelona show interest . but I don't think they have).
And this thing about Aguero will choose us ahead of this and that is a pure myth nothing else, its all about Money and Prestige (ie what european competition he will be playing in).
- - - - -
That £3bn is Joe Lewis's personal wealth, not Tottenham's financial backing. If it comes down to personal wealth NESV probably top out at £7bn, but you could also argue Carlos Slim, a major shareholder in New York Times who are themselves members of NESV, is also affiliated with LFC (though I personally wouldn't say that). Which would bring the wealth of our owners to £40-50bn.
If Aguero was available for the £40m that he would cost the Spuds, there would be a long line of far more prestigious, well known and all-round better clubs than Tottenham looking to sign him - that's how I come to the conclusion that there is 0% chance of him joining.

Is anyone watching the lottery program a 'Liverpool fan' picking his numbers based on the squad has picked 9 for torres and 10 for gerrard - hilarious!
05 Mar 2011 20:22:32
Ed, do you think we will do most of our transfer activity early in the summer as i think we should? {Ed002's Note - There is no way of telling.}

Ed, champions league is pretty much out of reach this season. Would you agree that unless we get Champions League football next year, it's going to be difficult to attract quality in players? {Ed002's Note - It will be more difficult certainly.}
05 Mar 2011 20:39:10
Ed what do you make on the report on Alexis Sanchez? Doesn't seem too far fetched to me.
We are a big draw for players currently, and players can see we are ran professionally now. I do hope that report is true as didn't seem OTT.
{Ed002's Note - Posting the same message multiple times with slightly different wordingnot make it more plausible.}

I'm posting here for the first time so Wana say how addictive it is! But my main reason for sending this in, is in hope that king Kenny or the guys at top do take time to read this or gets someone to read our views and opinions because if they do I would just like to say being turkish I keep up to date with galatasary and he has been saying his injured and refuses to play when the physics are sayin he is ok?? I hope Liverpool is the reason he will not play, but u fear it's Chelsea who have gone in for him as this is the rumour coming from most Turkish football fanatics! Most thinking the current Turkish national coach is insisting Chelsea put a bid in for Arda Turan & who's the national coach?? Hiddink please LIVERPOOL buy Turan he is world class I promise u! ! YNWA
05 Mar 2011 20:19:03
Ed why are you so certain that it is Chelsea that have bid for Sanchez and not Liverpool? Reports in Italy are saying it is the reds.
Apparently £27.5 million bid was received by Udinese from the reds (as per italian press).
Think this would be a quality signing, along with Marvueax on a free.
If we could sign one of Steven Defour or Ever Banega as well I think that would be a quality trio of midfielders to bring in.
{Ed002's Note - You read a blog by someone who does nothing but write about this one player he wants to come to Liverpool and you are convinced by it. I notice his "sources" are secret - that will be because the Italian press have said nothing on the matter. Numerous clubs are interested in the player - there have already been offers made by two clubs - Barcelona and Chelsea. Not, at this time, Liverpool.}
05 Mar 2011 20:15:54
Ed, midfielders for next season are probably Shelvy, gerrard merielses, adam, lucas, m'villa. Do you think shelvy and lucas' chances will be scarcely reduced? {Ed001's Note - we play a lot of games, they will play a big part, but I wouldn't expect either to be first choice every game.}
05 Mar 2011 20:11:08
I'm hoping you are wrong about Sanchez Ed like you were with Suarez.
Think these two would be great together {Ed001's Note - I would love Sanchez to sign, him and Honda were the two I wanted us to sign in January.}
05 Mar 2011 19:59:37
BALAGUE claims LFC ARE interested in Enrique(another average player) and fancies him to come to us. Ed, this might not be true but every lfc fan knows we are signing young and adam possibly others, but these players and enrigue are poor'. Why or why are we still wasting our money?
05 Mar 2011 19:48:12
Hey ED do you think Anthony Stokes of Celtic is good enough for the Premier League?
Please Post
YNWA {Ed002's Note - Maybe for the EPL, but not for LFC.}
05 Mar 2011 19:55:55
Summer arrivals
A. Sanchez, Udinese.
G. Clichy, Arsenal.
S. Marvueax (free).
E. Banega, Valencia.
O. Toivonen, PSV.
S. Kjaer, Wolsburg.
Do you think the above is realistic Ed? {Ed002's Note - No.}
05 Mar 2011 19:47:05
Ed, kk looks as if he wants to add more english to the lfc squad which is logical but with marveuax, m, villa, payet, benzema(macca seems convinced) POssibly arriving, there is hell of alot of french players plus mavinga who looks to be a great player for the future. Im not really worried about the amount of french players but Camolli. I believe he is buying all these players and not KK. Ed, should i be worried? {Ed001's Note - I would not see a situation where Kenny doesn't have the final say, he would not work under those circumstances.}
05 Mar 2011 19:41:36
I'd just like to congratulate the Liverpool Young Boys on beating Blackburn 5 - 1 and Hopefully we can beat Manchester United to the FA Youth Cup. Great to see us doing well in the Youth department.
The future looks good, the future looks Red.

Ed, on a scale of 1 - 10 what are the chances that the scaling system actually provides any information at all and on a scale of 1 - 10 what are the chances that people should stop asking about a scale of 1 - 10 or even percentages, to conclude on a scale of 1-10 I think it's a 10 that people should stop with the scale or 100% which ever is easiest. I can't wait for a journalist to pop the question to the king. so kenny on a scale of 1-10 whats the chances of liverpool signing x, y and z this summer, or maybe they'll go with percentages too! smash the spam boys {Ed002's Note - I am sure that one of the posters is keeping metrics on the Eds and the grading given to each rumour - waiting to leap out and say "last week you said Sanchez was a 5 now you say he is a 6.}
05 Mar 2011 19:06:16
Hey ed do you think snodgrass and gradel would be good solutions to our wingers problem and what is the possibility of them joining as i think they are both quality players that would improve the squad {Ed002's Note - I don't know either player I am afraid. I appreciate that they play for Leeds and that you are likely to be a Leeds supporter toying with the oft gullible Liverpool fans.}
05 Mar 2011 18:59:50
Hey lfc fans. .! !
how we didn't go for nzogbia in january . i do not know!
easily worth the 10 mill valuation wigan set(seeing as he and rodallega are their best assets)
proven in the prem. pacey and skillful winger. .
he looks good yet again at man city
05 Mar 2011 18:50:21
{Ed002's Note - I am extremely skeptical about the chances of Benzema signing.}
I guess we shall and wait and see, on the 31st of August ;)
Anything can happen tbf, but I'm just saying what I've heard on here from Macca and been told by a close mate . . He's not as reliable as Macca, but he does get it right around 80% of the time.
05 Mar 2011 18:45:21
Andy Carroll being worth 1m more than David Villa is so totally beyond me. Good player and all that he is, he is liverpool's new diouf and newcastle got the deal of the century!
R-Dogg
Are ya having a laugh ya nut job?? No comparison to Diouf ( spitting scum bag who I wish never wore the famous red of L.F.C) and Carroll, the price tag is because he is a quality young English footballer and the price for such players is always gonna be over the odds compared to the European market, I have not seen Carroll do any of the crazy stupid things that waste of space Diouf gets up too, Carroll has had his off field problems but they should be behind him now.I think he's gonna be a great player for us, take yourself for a walk R-Dogg to clear your head.
Sorry for rant but I hate that Gee Bag Diouf.

Maxi, Jova, Konchesky, Poulsen, Soto, Cole, Aquilani, Insua, Ngog, to leave.
Payet, Benzema, Adam, Young, Sakho, Marveaux, M'Vila, Enrique to sign.
- - - - - - -
Ed, is this true? {Ed005's Note - I think that poster was just guessig. However I do believe it is possible that all of the players he listed to leave are likely to leave. On his "to sign" list, Marveaux, Young and Adam look nailed on while M'Vila is a good possibility, and perhaps Payet.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Look, I was not guessing.
Ive taken Benzema, Young, Adam and Marveaux from Macca. (Very, very reliable, 100% accuracy so far.)
M'Vila, and Payet have had background checks, and been closely scouted for the past month. Im sure Macca could back me up on this.
Enrique has been watched by Comolli, and Kenny is also a big fan of Enrique.
However Sakho is a guess, but he has been watched along with Richards and Subotic. A CB is not a big priority atm, as Kenny is looking to just use Ayala, Wilson and Mavinga. If anyone is most likely its Richards because he is the most confident on the ball, and would go nicely with Agger.
{Ed002's Note - I am extremely skeptical about the chances of Benzema signing.}
05 Mar 2011 18:40:10
Dera Mr Editor. What do you mean that Ashley Young and Charlie Adam look nailed on to join the club? . is this based purely on Macca's predictions or have you heard whispers from the club. And another factor that has to be considered is that it is only march and how could it be possible to know this early?. thanks Ed.
{Ed002's Note - Whilst the transfer window is shut there is much work going on. Certainly the club have maintained an interest in Adam and Young - although I am not convined by either.}

RUMOUR IN IRELAND IS DAGLEISH IS CONSIDERING SWOOPING FOR TWO IRISH INTERNATIONALS. . . .RICHARD DUNNE AND KEVIN DOYLES. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS MONEY THERE TO BE SPENT DAGLEISH WILL LOOK TO BRING A WHOLE NEW SQUAD IN THE SUMMER. EXPECT SOME BIG NAMES AS WELL AS SMALLER ONES. . . . . .
Firstly its a bit annoying when people can't spell the Kings name, its DALGLISH. . Secondly, I'm from Ireland and Richard Dunne and Kevin Doyle are nowhere near the quality Liverpool need to bring the club forward. If you heard this rumour in the newspapers (probably the Irish Mirror) I suggest you stop buying that paper, its just total rubbish with no substance, If you look at the players linked with Liverpool in the last 2-3 years almost all of them have not been bought, the papers are in the dark just as much as us and only the club now know what players they want and that's the way it should be. .

How am I giving LFC fans a bad name? I'm merely using common sense. Spuds do indeed have a decent-sized financial backing, but not enough to pay £45m up front and then spend £8.4m in wages a year on ONE player. If Aguero was available (even at £45-50m) then clubs like Barca, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Man City, Inter and Liverpool (yes, we have a far larger financial backing and he would choose us over the Spuds) would all be circling like sharks. And, I'm sorry, but even a fool knows that Spuds would be bottom of that pile of preferred clubs. Aguero probably doesn't even know which city the Spuds are from, never mind their history or their criminal manager.
In fact, the only way Aguero would sign for Spuds is if Arry has Comolli, Valdano, Moratti, etc., assassinated and then hires his 'people' to sedate Aguero and ship him to an isolated airport in a crate full of condoms - as per usual with Arry.
So, in summary, there is absolutely 0% chance of Spuds getting Aguero.

Thank you in advance!

He is fit to start the game, but the decision will come down Kenny. He will decide wether he is in the right frame of mind for such a big game.

My views on tomorrows match :
Liverpool to win 2-1! With Ferdinand and Vidic out, Suarez will be given the opportunity to run a muck on the defenders! Carroll will come on around the 70 min mark to replace Dirk Kuyt . Scorers will Suarez and Meireles for us and Rooney for United! anybody agree? ED?
Adam O'K ;) YNWA {Ed005's Note - Well I'm confident about this one - I hope you are correct. But Man Utd are a top side and they know how to win these games, so best not get complacent.}

05 Mar 2011 16:53:46
Is this the same harry that also said transfer deadline day would be a quiet one for spurs then big money bids went in for Rossi, Llorente and Aguero? then a bid for charlie adam aswell
Sadly there is a big chance Aguero that Aguero will sign for spurs as long as they can afford his big wages
- - - - - - - -
There is NO CHANCE of Aguero signing for the Spuds! Go back to the Spuds site, please. They CANNOT afford his wages, that is one of many spanners in the works that prevent the deal ever happening under any logical circumstances. He doesn't want to go to a no-mark, internationally unknown club that won't be in the CL next season.
They even had a confirmed bid that activated his release clause rebuffed! Is that enough evidence?
Just to repeat: absolutely NO CHANCE of Aguero to the Spuds happening, unless we're talking of the infamous KEN AGUERO - who is currently in advanced talks with the Spuds in regards to taking over from Arry once he jumps ship for England and sends the Spuds into administration la Southampton and Portsmouth.

Ok to end all this Aguero to spurs talk.
Harry was interviewed on radio yesterday and stated they DIDN'T bid for him in January, and that they would not be able to afford him. Straight from Harry's mouth yesterday.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Is this the same harry that also said transfer deadline day would be a quiet one for spurs then big money bids went in for Rossi, Llorente and Aguero? then a bid for charlie adam aswell
Sadly there is a big chance Aguero that Aguero will sign for spurs as long as they can afford his big wages

ED in your opinion what chance do you think we have of keeping Pepe Reina ? {Ed002's Note - It will be down to whether or not he wants to leave. I think there is a chance he will go, so perhaps it is 50/50.}

What a h***in WASTE!
there has to be some change now. whether there's a 'B' team or just regular matches in the reserves league. ie. same amount of matches in first team football.
Or even just h***in make a clause in the bloody contract that he has to start! ! ! !
any other ideas.
Harry5:)YNWA {Ed002's Note - If they had been players on the cusp of playing for the first team or getting occasional outings then a clause would have been entered in the contracts. However, for players such as David Amoo, a loan is getting him at least some experience of first team football that he was never going to get at Anfield this season.}

Jose Reina - Liverpool's Number One
REINA: I WON'T SWEAR ETERNAL LOVE
Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina insists he cannot promise "eternal love" to the club.
The Spaniard's Anfield future could hinge on the plans of the American owners, Fenway Sports Group, he has confirmed.
Reina, 28, has claimed he was the subject of offers last summer but has stressed he is currently happy at Liverpool, where Kenny Dalglish's return as manager has sparked an improvement in the team's fortunes.
Reina has a contract through to 2016, and told The Guardian: "I am not announcing my departure - far from it. I've said lots of times I'm very happy in England and comfortable at Liverpool.
"But I'm not prepared to swear eternal love to anyone. That's impossible. Any player who says that is lying.
"I can't say much because I have a contract with Liverpool. But eternal love doesn't exist. No one is master of his own destiny. When a player is at club he has to give everything - that is all you can ask of him."
Arsenal have been linked previously with Reina, and should he ever make it known he wants to leave Liverpool there could be strong interest from several clubs.
Reina was brought to Liverpool by Rafael Benitez in 2005, and has seen a host of fellow Spanish players arrive and depart during his time on Merseyside, most recently Fernando Torres making a £50million switch to Chelsea in January.
He hopes the circumstances never arise where he feels he has no choice but to leave.
"But I would never say: 'I'm never going, ' because even I don't know that, " Reina said.
"It depends on how this season finishes, on how competitive we can be.
"It depends, above all, on the ambition of the owners in building a better team; hopefully, they will be generous in their efforts but we know the economic reality."
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
now is it just me or does anybody notice he doesn't once say "i want to leave" he says nobody can PROMISE they will be at the club for their whole career. It also says: "He hopes the circumstances never arise where he feels he has no choice but to leave." So our Pepe still hopes to stay!

The Reina interview is a rehash of the one from a couple of weeks ago! it has just been thrown up to hype up tomorows match. News sells papers and you can write the same interview hundreds of ways to attract in gullible readers. Football is a business and we cannot count our club out of that fact if you are not happy with your current employers you leave at the same time someone who works next to you might want to stay. Yes Pepe has choices to make in the summer, but he is trying to be respectful and concentrate on LFC until then, if he goes he will be the first to admit liverpool will stay in his heart just for him sucess at LFC was not to be. These players did not come here to fail the have a desire to suceed something that we do not realisticly offer at the moment. I am sure they long for sucess but how long should they wait? Our day will come and when it does Pepe, Torres, Alonso and many more who have moved on will be delighted we are moving forward and at the same time a little sad that they are not part of the resurection.

So roy has won his first away game in 30 attempts, anyone think we should have kept hold of him, lol, also pepe, i reckon he is defo on his way out in summer, reading that article it seems he is more impressed with clarky than kenny, should he decide to leave i would not sell to an epl club, lets stop being a feeder club for our rivals if he does not like it put him in the ressies, to be honest i wouldn't play him sunday i think his head is elsewhere, jimmybosun

05 Mar 2011 14:14:12
All this Reina talk is getting on my nerves.
If we wants to leave, let the lad go, no hard feelings. No point getting arsy about it. Let gossip be gossip, so what if he is a little indecisive with his future at the moment, who wouldn't be?
He's done a reasonably solid job here, but if we get the reported £20m, then who's laughing then? We could get a better keeper with that money.
I personally think he is going abroad, if anywhere. I don't think he will go to Arsenal and especially not United, I feel he has enough respect for the club to make the decision. He is probably just frustrated with the inconsistency of form at the club, like I bet many of the players are. He probably wants CL football, and to be winning trophies.
IF, and I know its a big ask, but if we can win the europa league, I bet you he will not go anywhere. It means we will automatically qualify next year, hopefully get a string of better players in the summer whilst shipping out the deadwood, and be in contention for a better place next season.
Ultimately, he is only a player. If he stays I would welcome him, but if he leaves, then he has my respected regards. Either way, the club is bigger than any player.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I think the whole reason he has come out and said about he won't swear 'eternal love' just gives me a hint that he's off to chelsea, mancs or arsenal. the good clubs abroad don't need a keeper, the ones who do can't afford him and the ones who can afford him play in russia or turkey. where I doubt Pepe wants to play
05 Mar 2011 14:15:50
Blair,
I have to disagree with you on us being near the top 4. We're not even top 5 material at the minute.
We're around the top of the rest, and there's a clear gulf between the top 5 and rest.
Our league position is a definite pointer as to where our standard is.
On our day, yes, we can beat anyone (and i hope one of those days is tmrw) but consistently, no we can't do it.
I was absolutely gutted when Torres left. We've got to realise that these top Spanish players are in a national team of champions at all levels. Mediocrity is no good for them. That's why they want to leave. And, believe me, it really hurts to say that.
But, where I do agree with you, is having hope and optimism that we've got the right people in charge. And that the team will rise again in the next season or two. If Pepe went, I could understand why. But the Reds will rise again. No doubt about that.

IMO Pepe has stated his intention to leave this summer, I believe there will be an influx of great additions this summer, but if we can get 20-22 mil for Pepe, there's a good enough replacement to be found for half that value. He didn't want to go down the cowardly Torres route. I hope he stays, but I think we'll have a new number one next season.
05 Mar 2011 13:58:22
Hello, Can someone with a bit of knowledge tell me the likelihood of Carroll making a playing appearance in the game tomorrow?!
Thank you in advance!
Personnally i don, t see Carroll making some form of apperance until the 2nd half of the game tomorrow, and that depends on how the team are playing.
Due to his injury i, m sure Kk and the medical staff will be fully aware that they do not want to agreivate it and have him lost for the season ahead. Physically i think he would cause Utd major headaches and holding the ball up well and allowing Suarez to inject some speed and skill and make the utd defenders earn their weekly wage.
05 Mar 2011 13:49:44
Samir Handanovic, what about this man as a replacment for Pepe?
He is 6ft 5in, good with penatlies and 26 years of age so still a good 14years in him in terms of what age goal keepers are playing to nowadays?

Re: Chris Mavinga
Ed, def makes sense to get him first team footie and the time to get is head together.
The thing is he was getting rave reviews, defensively and due to ability going forward.
Just wondering, couldn't he potentially save us a shed load of money for left back/ centre back if Kenny was to take him under his wing?
Is Chris Mavinga actually in Kenny's plans or is he likely to be shipped on? {Ed001's Note - it will depend on him, if he knuckles down and shows he has the right attitude then he will get a chance to prove himself. If he doesn't sort his head out then he will be out the door. He certainly has the ability, now it is up to him to put in the graft and sort his head out. He is highly rated by the staff.}

I know what you're saying blair and agree that if he wants to go he can go but lets support him he has been class for us and he owes LFC nothing, he never said he definately wants to go. From a players point of view he is keeping his options open if a player comes out in an interview and says one thing but then does another he gets slated and looks like a total fool. We can't even put 3 passes together the last 5 games its been painful to watch WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR THE TOP 4 and the sooner we liverpool fans realise that the better.Its all about opinions!

I don't think pepe will go, the media spinning their s**te again.that interview was taken three weeks ago and they decide to release it just before a home game against the mancs?
to me it just sounded like he just wants us to have more ambition, you can understand where he is coming from-we had just lost torres at that time and he is the only spanish lad left in the starting 11, but i honestly believe that interview was made out to sound alot more threatening than it actually was.

05 Mar 2011 13:14:43
Ed, great job you're doing. what happened to chris mavinga? do you not think he has the potential to make the left back position his own? {Ed001's Note - he fell out with Roy Hodgson and had a bit of a sulk on so he has ended up on loan at Genk (or is it Gent he went to? I am not sure now!) to give him a chance to get some first team football and to cool down a bit and think things over. To be honest I think he had a point with Hodgson, there was a clear bias against foreign youngsters (or any youngsters for that matter) but you can't go shouting your mouth off to the press. He does have a lot of quality, at left back and centre back, but he needs to get his head together now.}

When kk took over we were pressing further up the pitch winning the ball back now we sit back just like under hodgson.

Completely agree with this. First 3 games were attacked and passed and moved. Since then our tactics and performance have been no different than under hodgeson. Im all for clean sheets and good defences but not at the expense of our mid and strikers though.
Against sparta it was like hodgeson was back in charge.
Clarke is a great appointment which I fully support but lets not be too defensive

Pepe was just being honest and hes right blair mayne any player who swears eternal love for a club is a bull****er.Thought it was a good interview and pepe is dead right we are nowhere near the top four we have an average team with a rubbish central midfield no wingers no pace our defence is shambolic and the only reason we kept all those clean sheets is because of steve clarke and his hugely negative tactics we sit so deep the last few games hoofing the ball to our forwards. When kk took over we were pressing further up the pitch winning the ball back now we sit back just like under hodgson.Kenny take the reigns back and start playing ball again please.I ask you blair mayne would you prefer if pepe said he loved us and left in the summer at least hes being honest. He has been class for us i wouldn't be too happy with that tripe in front of me either.
DCG
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
DCG you said "We are nowhere near the top 4" mate, which is wrong. If we had beat West Ham last week then we would've been just a few points behind Chelski and Spurs. IF we had someone else as manager instead of Hodgson at the start of the season, i'm convinced we would have been at least 3rd. The reason being, not one top 4 club has been consistant on a regular basis.
As for Pepe being honest mate, i honestly don't care. All i care about is IF he wants to play for us, if not then he can do one. Do you want a player to play for us, if he dosn't want to? We need 16-25 players who all want to give 100% for the Red shirt.
Like i said mate "IF Pepe dosn't want to play for us then he can f*ck off" he will not be missed, just ask Torres.

Reina is a top keeper and I hope that the owners splash some cash early in the summer which will show him we mean business. However if he wants to go good riddance. When keagan left we signed dalglish. When clemency left super Bruce replaced him. When the tosser left for 50m we replaced him with two quality signings and in my view we are better off. If pepe goes kenny will use the 20m to sign a quality replacement and will still have at least 10m left over to sign a decent left back. The difference now to when hicks and gillette were in charge is that the owners will give kenny every penny generated from player sales to spend. No player is bigger than the club. The future is going to be just great. Pepe you can be part of it or go and walk alone. Reality Red
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Totally agree Reality Red. That's why i wasn't worried when Torres went to Chelski. Because of the owners and manager, i knew we were in safe hands. If H&G had've been still at the helm then we would have been h*cked mate.
We all should think about these things when we hear that our best players want to leave. Our owners will not sit on their hands and do nothing. We all know that they will do somthing to rectify the problem (which they've shown plenty of times already). It wouldn't supprise me IF Pepe did want to leave we have a replacement or looking for a replacement, already lined up.
We have owners who will do what is necessary to make us challenge again. And who better than Kenny to show them what is required, to make us challenge again.
This my fantastic friends is why i sleep easy at nights and can't wait untill the summer.

Morning ed, now i know caughtoffside is not a great source for info, however it does make for an interesting read at times, and i know most is made up, but much of the made up stories make alot of sense at times. they are reporting that we have joined the race for sanchez. true or not just being linked to some of the most exciting young talent shows how far we have come since kenny has taken charge.
anyway i think we should make this guy our number one target, not only is he the next big thing imo, he can play in about 4 different positions, on either wing as a striker or just behind. kenny loves to change things around depending on the opposition and players who can adapt are the sort of player we need. he is valued at 25m, we should offer that and give em poulsen as a thanks for doing business good will gesture. i know manure are interested, but i just don't think they have that sort of money, since when did fergie ever worry about good value in the market? he spent 30m on the ageing berbatov a few years ago, and has never splashed the cash since.
a loan deal for bojan and 19m plus insua for contreau and 8m for adam (although i would prefere aquilani to give it one more season) and we could be in business next year. go back to the formation we had our most success with 4 2 3 1, bojan suarez and sanchez behind carroll would be unstoppable. mereiles and gerrard holding and creating the attacks, with a back 4 of kelly agger carra and contreau. we would hav on the bench, adam/ aqua kuyt, cole, lucas, jonhson etc although if a big offer came in for johnson 15m + i would snap there hand off. i think with that team we would rival arsenal in playing the beautifull game but have the steel and leadership they lack to dominate in england and in europe.
ed your thoughts please would be great

If a player leaves the club because he wants to? well he is better off gone. .Liverpool do not want any player who is not intrested. whoever they maybe.
No player is bigger than the club, never has been and never will be. .

Just read Guillem Balague article on Sky Sports, and he says that Manure should go for Llorente as Bilbao are in turmoil. If He is available in the summer then we should go for him. The word was that he would cost 35 million euros plus taxes, but this lad is class and worth every penny. Llorente and Carroll with their aerial prowess and Suarez in behind would be scary to any team in Europe.
Get him signed Kenny!

The board is balancing the squad, we need more dept and they will only buy what is needed they will look at the youth not to stop the development of the players that they believe have a chance to make it.
defence
johnson
kelly
agger
wilson
4 players needed
midfield
gerrard
meirelles
lucas
shelvey
cole
2 players needed
attack
suarez
carroll
3 players needed
these are the players that will be here in 2 year time.
skrtl
soto
carra
poulsen
kuyt
ngog
konch
will be gonne.
i am not saying the players needed will be bought, there will be 4 players from the youth team coming soon.
in my opinion we need to spend most the money on the defence.2 cb 1 left back.
left winger and midfielder.
i watched psv ajax last week, ERIKSON was the best on the the pitch and only 19 we need to make him top priority.
if we get what we need in the summer we will be in the top 4 next season.
we need to be honest with the squad is not balanced and not good enough.
05 Mar 2011 07:45:45
Not really, because we're tying up deals for M'Vila, Benzema, Adam, Young, Marveaux, Payet, Enrique, Sakho
- - - - - -
What a team we would have-
Reina
Kelly
Sakho
Agger
Johnson
M'Vila
Gerrard
Adam
Young
Benzema
Suarez
Subs: Gulacsi, Carra, Enrique, Meireles, Lucas, Carroll, Kuyt/ Payet

I just posted my thought, but i forgot something important.
REINA IF YOU WISH TO LEAVE JUST LEAVE.
WE DO NOT NEED TO READ YOUR WISHES IN THE PAPERS.
WE ALL HAVE THE SOME WISHES YOU DO.

Why wud reina want 2 go to arsenal? neva win anything and we on the up, i understand he wants to be with ateam challenging 4 things, but we are, more chance of us winning europa than they win cl so f*** off like torres and stop undemining the king, we 4give u for ur few mistakes now time 2 4give r big 1 hicks and co, get over it, we r the biggest club in nglund, and by the way thought ur wife and kids loved lpool, think bout that pepe we luv u, u and ur family meant to luv us, stay where u belong in our record book
WHAT! !
Most of this is understandable, But some is absolute crap.
1- We forgave Reina for his mistakes - And in turn he's been our best GK of the last decade, And one of all time.
2- We are the biggest club in nglund (Im guessing England - While i love your passion honestly we are not Man Utd are, It kills me to admit it but technically its true.
05 Mar 2011 07:52:25
Ed, what positions are we looking to strengthen? {Ed002's Note - I think all positions are being considered but midfield and left wing appear to be top of the list with a third striker.}
05 Mar 2011 08:09:52
Apparently the interview with Pepe was done weeks ago, and lets be honest its no more than we expected, I want to be challenging for honours etc.
I thought the most interesting part was the amibition of the owners part. He obivously wants to see progress being made
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I just hope we make some quality signings early in the transfer window rather than on deadline day. might convince him to stay. .

Hey
Apparently the interview with Pepe was done weeks ago, and lets be honest its no more than we expected, I want to be challenging for honours etc.
I thought the most interesting part was the amibition of the owners part. He obivously wants to see progress being made and quality player coming in and who can blame him. He's seen one of the best midfielders in the world leave (Alonso) and one of the best strikers (FT, well, was !). It sounds like he doesn't want anymore dross signed and can I just say I'm with you on that one Pepe.
Right now I'm guessing its 50/ 50 on if he'll stay or go but in either case I'm not gonna get too upset. If he goes, Thanks for the memories Pepe but there are plenty of extremely good young keepers out there right now or if he stays, thanks for the continuing memories Pepe. The new owners have started to give me confidence that if a player leaves they will do their best to replace him with another quality player.
One thing I would say though is perhaps for too long we started believing we where/ are a 1/ 2/ 3 man team. One thing that FT's leaving did , for me at least, was to remind me that we are bigger than any one player will ever be. As was preached and proved by Kenny and his staff, we were not Torres FC, nor are we Gerrard FC, or even Renia FC. We're Liverpool FC and players have came and won our hearts and then left, and many will do so in the future but the one constant is the club and the liverbird apon my chest and that old bird ain't going anywhere.
Well that's my two cents. Bring on Sunday.

In the inter view it says "If much of what Reina says about Torres applies to himself, there is one thing that does not. Torres ruled out United" did torres really say he would never go to United?
05 Mar 2011 01:14:03
The Reina interview is 100% a come and get me call. Hope the club have plans for life without him! As much as I rate him I'm exhasted with wanting players to stay who no longer want to be here. As long as he stays clear of ManUre we should thank him and let him go. We don't need negativity and this interview brings it. If I was a player going into a club where a star player is talking like this I would be very cautious!

Be a man pepe and put in a transfer request instead of causing unrest you spineless tw*t!
prpe if you are listening please don'y listen to this person we all love you and as long as you are with us you will NEVER walk alone and anyone who really really knows what this means knows that know one is bigger than the club , but at the end of the day you have only pledged yourself to the club and your performances have shown you are world class.
Instead of saying, "he is not stayin he is off"! he is bettering himself he wats to be the best! for us, i think he is up there with cara steve and kuyt! hes a legend please treat him like that till he decides different.

Reading Renia's interview I have a sickening feeling that he'll leave. He hasn't ruled out United. How upset would every be if he left for them. The interview sounded like he's decided to leave and just waiting for the summer, you can even see it in the matches.
He was my favorite player too.

{Ed002's Note - From what I have seen he looks fine - maybe even as good as Ryan Babel. But it would be interesting to know why clubs have been looking but not touching.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Probably because he's as good as Ryan Babel
Bob Loblaw
{Ed002's Note - His hero is Dirk Kuyt of course.}
If he's the sort of pro his idol is, that's one immediate advantage over Babel.

Hi ed there is one name that seems to not be getting mentioned a lot anymore and that is Llorente. He would still be my preferred choice as a striker to sign in the summer do you think we will show an interest? {Ed001's Note - no I don't unfortunately, I would love to see him play for us.}
Isn't he rumoured to be very likely to end up at Real in the Summer?
Who would you leave out to accommodate him? {Ed001's Note - that is the problem, he is a very similar player to Carroll, but he is much more mobile so they might make a decent pairing.}
05 Mar 2011 00:28:12
Ed,
What impact would there be on us if Thomas R. DiBenedetto (a NESV member) bought Roma? Will it not make any difference at all? Or will it have a detrimental impact on funds etc? {Ed001's Note - it should make no noticeable difference to be honest mate.}
05 Mar 2011 00:25:19
04 Mar 2011 22:02:36
Ed do you think we are interested in Sakho? He's a promising centre back and can also play left back. Or Kjaer maybe? If not then what defenders do you think we are interested in? {Ed001's Note - I believe we have looked at Sakho and Subotic, not sure who else.}
Either would be terrific additions and make a good first choice centre half, with Agger (when fit) and Carra fighting it out to partner.
We're also being linked with an interest in Mateo Musacchio of Villareal.
Do any of the Eds have an opinion on Musacchio? {Ed001's Note - I have watched a couple of Villareal games recently but not really noticed him. I can't even remember if he played or not.}
05 Mar 2011 00:12:10
Liverpool have bid £27.5m for Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez.

in march. . few months too early mate.

Not really, because we're tying up deals for M'Vila, Benzema, Adam, Young, Marveaux, Payet and Musacchio/ Enrique
- - - - - - - - - - - -
What d'you mean too early? Udinese have confirmed someone has already bid for Alexis Sanchez.
{Ed002's Note - That someone is Chelsea.}
