Hi Ed great site, haven't posted before so here goes.i don't have any rumours but wanted to ask your opinion on who should be manager.I think even though it's still early days for Roy it's obvious he's not the one to take us back to where we belong - at the top- not fourth but the top. do you not think it's time for us to be innovative like we used to be and take a punt on a young, hungry manager with guidance from somebody with experience.Why not try Carra with King Kenny guiding him. We need somebody who would command instant respect and loves the club instead of whinging about what a poor squad he inherited and making excuses rather than admitting the job is too big for him. stu {ed's note - I am not sure about Carra in the job, would he want to play good football or the kind of football he plays himself? I don't want to watch us hoof it out from the back for another ten years, I have had my fill of that!}

All this talk from people about Torres going to Man City - now wait a minute. When our fans talk about wanting Adam Johnson to sign for us all we get is "City won't sell to us" blah blah blah boo hoo.

Well lets apply the same moral here - we won't sell to City. End of.

And I read an interview from David Villa on GuillemBalague.com after the WC and Villa said Torres doesn't consider Man City a big enough club and won't move to another English team because he loves Liverpool so much.

Why does everybody keep going on about buying Tevez, he's made it clear that he is homesick, no unless i am wrong Tevez was not born in or around Liverpool. Unless he's from that small town called Argentina some where near Kirby!

I understand your point, but i'm afraid your claim that you posted about Gerrard leaving back in May is only a half-truth at best. You also clearly posted in mid September "Gerrard to Madrid - 100% done deal" (it's in the archives mate). Now you're claiming he only stayed and proved your info to be wrong because Benitez left, however Benitez had already been gone for two months when you posted your "100%" info that Gerrard was going.

Can you see why some would be caution about trusting your guarantees? You received a lot of stick when you stuck your neck out lthat time and were proved wrong. If you are not "100%" then you need to watch how you word things otherwise people will treat your info as being as reliable as paper talk complete with backtracking and reasons why your claims didn't come true (The Mirror - Luke Young didn't join because, Koptalk - we weren't' bought by the Saudis because etc etc)

I don't mean to sound harsh, i'm sure you do have some genuine contacts, but part of giving info is wording it as it has been worded to you (something you did not do in either case, your explanation of your source for the Torres rumour sounds far less definite than your initial claim) and putting your hands up when you're wrong (as with your Gerrard rumour).

Did you receive the Gerrard rumour two months late and that's why you were only getting word that he was leaving (because of Benitez) in mid September? I just don't understand how an assertion that a player is leaving because of a manager who was already employed elsewhere works.

Hi Mate,

Can you check the archives for me please because i can't seem to find anything.

Love you to find it and back up your story.
Pretty sure you will not be able to.
Cheers

My friend is Ray Putteril, he used to play for us and is now at Acrington Stanley. He still speaks to the lads from liverpool and the rumor is that Torres is leaving in the summer no questions asked. However he has said under non certain terms will it be to another PL team. He wants to go back home, and his likley destination is Barca in a swap deal with Ibrahimovic (if AC don't take him on a permanent). Another one is he will go back to Athletico in a cash plus Kun Aguero deal unsure how much cash though.

please not ibrahimovic, he has got to be the most overrated footballer ever. if we were to swap with barca, i would much rather pedro/ bojan + cash.

Representatives of Liverpool football club are in Spain tomorrow to engage in preliminary discussions with Real Madrid regarding a potential loan deal involving Karim Benzema.

Who will RM have as a replacement for Benzema? What if Gonzalo Higuain is injured again?
Maybe if RM get another stricker but that is a big maybe.

If the new owners are on lfc tv on monday night we all need to get questions and emails to them telling them why rh should be sacked. i have sent the following and encourage you all to send similar messages. it is no good just telling them to sack him, we have to give reason why he is not suited to our club.


'dear lfc tv,

please ask jh the following questions -
-if he thinks roy hodgson, a manger who has only ever had moderate success at clubs far smaller than liverpool, is good enough to get us in the champions league let alone winning the premier league?
-does he think rh's record of 7 wins in 55 away premier league games good enough for a club looking to compete for major honours?
-if we only seem capable of competing in 50% of our matches how does jh suppose we can succeed in such competitive competitions?
-did he watch roy stood helpless by the side of the pitch at newcastle yesterday rubbing his face continually? was it not embarrassing for anyone associated with the club?
-did he see any evidence of roy trying to change things once newcastle took control of the second half?
-if, as roy claims, he needs more time to get his messages and ideas accross to the players, why do you think he just stands or sits at the side of the pitch whether his team is losing, drawing or even winning instead of trying to get ideas on to the pitch or changing things?

We are liverpool and expect better. Most sensible liverpool fans accept the limitations of the squad compared to others in the league, but what we cannot accept is the way the team is set up not to lose, how the players play with fear not ambition or how even if we are winning the team sits back and tries to hang on to what it has instead of having the courage to push on and play like a top team. this is the mentality of a small club without ambition to win honours and the longer it continues the harder it will be for a new manager to bring the club back to were it should be. it is no good waiting till the end of the season, it could take years to bring things back if we have another 6 months of this type of football. thanks to the inconsistency of other teams this season we still have a chance to make this season a success but only if we have someone in charge with courage and ambition. it is incredible we are only 10 points off the top of the table and looking back at some of the performances season we should much closer, a positive manager could still take advantage of what should have been a season which saw us competing at the very top of the table. Please listen to what the majority of fans are saying and make changes before it is too late.'

All these rumours on Twitter that Hodgson has been sacked, or that he has resigned, or that there is a meeting in place to get him sacked is complete and utter nonsense. It is so easy to start rumours on the internet, I started one on Youtube once and within a week it appeared on every Liverpool site I went and looked on. I actually couldn't believe it myself.

Henry and Werner are obviously over in England as they are appearing live on LFC TV tomorrow evening and if there is some meeting happening I would hazard a guess and say it has something to do with transfers (plus, I think there are regular board meetings anyway, so that's probably it).

Few random unhappy points - :
1- Macca is right about Torres being unhappy, he have been since last year, Roy did make an effort to go and see him in the summer, for that Torres have repaid by sticking and hoping things get better, but he now realised things have actually got worse. Not sure if he will leave in Jan or summer, but we need to realise we are not getting the 50m people are posting in here, we are lucky if we get around the 30m, an unhappy player is a cheap player. .and by the way City/ Mancini won't let adam johnson go, he has been a super sub for them, he is one of the few young english talents they have , and they would value him at a greater price than Torres.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

An unhappy player is a cheap player? Seriously mate, that's complete balls. I wouldn't care if Torres was unhappy or not. If he requested to leave then fair enough, we respect his wishes. But he's a world class player and a massive loss. We're not desperate for the money, so we can demand whatever the hell we want for him.

Ronaldo was unhappy in his final months as a United player because he wanted to move to Real Madrid, and they got £80m for him didn't they?

2- Posted few weeks ago, few players are set to leave this Jan, if not sold, loaned, these players asked to move because they are not happy with current management, these include Pacheco (new contract or not) , Johnson, Babel , Jovanovic and Agger and maybe Lucas.

3- On current form top 8 is the best we can hope for, if few of us clued up fans can see that, its most definitely players and their advisers can see it too, not many decent players will want to come to us, so forget the likes of suarez (Spurs will be interested) and Llorent (Madrid will be interested) , Honda is not going to swap being at a team challenging for the title in their league to a team not sure of Europa spot, we will need to offer more money than normal to get these kind of players and personally cannot see NESV opting for this kind of policy.

Can we change things, yes we can, tomorrow the owners will be answering questions on LFC now, if as many of us as possible told them about our unhappiness with the current management (in a nice articulate polite way) mentioning his poor away record and unattractive football , they may just may start pondering about alternatives, I know we would nt be telling them anything new, but they would know its important to a lot of us liverpool fans that are number one in the world with their football knowledge.

Ah, you see you made it sound like a definite again much like the Gerrard rumour for which you received so much stick. When you explain your source you can see why others might start to mistrust your rumours, especially when you post them in such a definite sounding style. If you say "so-and-so is unhappy" or "there's a rumour that. . " people won't get so irked when they turn out to be untrue.

The final point was referencing your "Gerrard to Madrid - 100% done deal" assertion, which you made back in September, two months after Benitez left.

Which rumour did you think i was talking about?


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The rumour with regards Gerrard was told when Benitez was still there back in May. .I posted that i was told that Torres was going to Man City, check my previous post.

The reason you can never give a definitive answer is that people change there minds, have YOU never done that in your life.

One thing i will put my name to is that Torres will leave Liverpool in Jan or the summer. I can guarantee he is not happy here. .

So you can quote me on that.

The only thing i am not 100 sure off is where he will be playing.

"12 Dec 2010 15:48:25
Macca"

3 questions;
(1) Is this the real Macca?
(2) If yes, when you say "Torres is going to City" do you mean it is already decided?
(3) If yes, do you remember what happened last time you said a major player was leaving Liverpool?


Hi Mate, it is the real Macca, i am not sure how true it is but was told by a good friend of mine who works for sky sports. .

It is not from the usual source from the club. So not sure how true it is, what i do know is that he desperately wants to leave. That from was from a very senior player who i know pretty well.

The answer to your final question is the only reason that player stayed is because Benitez left.

Ah, you see you made it sound like a definite again much like the Gerrard rumour for which you received so much stick.

ramy the red
keep up the good work {ed's note - he was a mere figurehead, Loew was the man responsible and the Germans realised it when he managed Bayern and failed miserably. He would not attract German players, he lost their respect with that Bayern period.}

I've got a connection from a really high place at Liverpool FC, and they tell me that an emergency meeting has been set up with many important figures within the Liverpool hierocracy for Tuesday. Although Roy Hodgson has not been invited!. (Now the interesting thing is Damien Comolli has been invited.) Now I'm not one to jump to conclusions but It seems to me that they could be planning for a future without Roy. We've got a much needed transfer window coming up, which could be make or break in terms of european football for next season. (Europa League). I mean would you trust this guy with your millions?

Listen, with regards Torres to CIty, it doesn't sound believeable to me but the lad knows his stuff.

With regards why he is so unhappy i can't answer that, i was just told by a very senior player that it is difficult to play with someone who is not interested .

That is true.

Ed how about banega from valencia(poss), a.johnson and hazard(doubtfull on both but u neva know) for wings, and if glen moves on then give kelly the rb position, our problem is trying to buy a striker to play wit torres because he is vey differcult to play with - any fughts on 1. players above, and 2. who do we buy to partner torres? {ed's note - Banega would be very easy to get, he doesn't get on with his manager and the team is in dire need of money, but I am not sure a central midfielder is a priority right now. A Johnson would be great if we can get him, money + him for Torres might be a good thing for the team. Hazard will stay until the summer I think, hardly going to leave a team challenging for the title for one in mid-table right now is he? For me I would buy Llorente, not only would he be a fantastic partner for Torres but he would be perfectly capable of playing instead of him as well if need be.}

DO U THINK HAZARD WOULD COMR ED

But I would have to say that 6m is a lot for a player untested in a decent league, plus I am not a fan of defensive midfielders anyway. It is a pointless position, unless it is played the way Busquets plays for Barca.}

Macca"

3 questions;
(1) Is this the real Macca?
(2) If yes, when you say "Torres is going to City" do you mean it is already decided?
(3) If yes, do you remember what happened last time you said a major player was leaving Liverpool?


Hi Mate, it is the real Macca, i am not sure how true it is but was told by a good friend of mine who works for sky sports. .

It is not from the usual source from the club. So not sure how true it is, what i do know is that he desperately wants to leave. That from was from a very senior player who i know pretty well.

The answer to your final question is the only reason that player stayed is because Benitez left.

Intial bid for Suarez made! Just what we need, a small, skillful, goal machine. Who cares about his attitude, he is quality and will get us many many goals! LFC website also states we are in for stocker for 4.5m. Speed skillful young winger and at 4.5m id snap him up anyday.

It was in an Italian newspaper. Apparantly we've offered £12m but Ajax want £20m. Well they're not in a position to make demands like.

{Editor's Note: Ajax will be able to make such demands if other sides are interested. It is also simply a rumour at this point.}

Im not being funny and I know there will be lots of unbeliavbles but I think we should get rid of torres.

city would easily offer 40million for him and with that we could get 3 great players

I would also sell Joe cole for around 5 million
he is avarge plaer and is on 100 grand a week

get rid of jova to he useless

so all together there is about 48million

these are just thoughts
Riise
young
Suarez maybe offer 20mill plus jova
Defoe we should offer 20 mill plus babel Ino they proply still wouldn't sell but worth a shot

Liverpool have made a €15m bid for Ajax striker Luis Suarez, but the Dutch side are holding out for closer to €25m, according to media reports.

Italian publication Tuttomercato comments that the English Premier League want to pair the Uruguayan with Fernando Torres at Anfield, and have made initial enquires to bring Suarez to the club in the January transfer window.

Ajax are not currently in a position where they can reject a substantial offer for their star asset, but will attempt to hold out for a bigger bid from the Reds.

The likes of Juventus, Real Madrid and Tottenham have been linked with Suarez in the past, but Liverpool have emerged as one of the main contenders for the player's signature.

The 23-year-old struck 49 goals in an incredible season last year, and has managed 11 goals in 22 matches for the Amsterdam club this season.

Got this from the rumours page on liverpoolfc.tv,

I kind of assumed we had decided against him because no move was made in the summer after watching him. It is always possible that it was just that any enquiries were rebuffed in the summer so we didn't buy him.}

To this response:
Wot a load of BULL. .Any striker is no good unless they get good service from the rest of the team. Wot do u want Torres to do? Take the ball from Reina pass 10 opposition players an then score? Teves is homesick so why would he leave city to join Liverpool? Why would we sell Torres to one of our biggest rivals for 4th spot in JAN? Worse than Anelka where? at Liverpool or Chelsea? Teves and Johnson are worth more than Torres on his own.

All I will say, is wait and see! and no, I do not expect Torres to do it all, but the major issue I have is that world class players, the players out there who perform week in week out, would go looking for the ball in his situation and make something happen - not trot around looking uninterested and constantly niggling at the players around him, blaming them for his inability (at the moment) to control a ball or go past people! And as far as selling to a rival - Very few teams have the money to prise him away, so, like any club, we have to accept it from whoever can afford it!

Please get real and stop believing the Torres hype - A truly world class player (like Gerrard) performs on a regular basis, not just 5 or 6 games oer season.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Even Gerrard has poor spells. But he's been at pool for a decade or so. Torres IS a world class striker. Look at Messi at the world cup and then his form at Barca. I'll bet u would say he is an average player from his WC2010 performance. Torres is world class. Liverpool IS a world class team. Set them free and see.
An at least i can add my name at the end of MY post. .

I heard a rumour from a normally very good source (he used to be the captain of the youth team some years ago and, altho left the club, still has some close contacts) that Torres WILL be leaving in January.

Apparently, the new owners have branded him a 'spoilt overpaid brot' and have been less than impressed with his attitude both in training and during some matches (who saw him yesterday live? - He was a disgrace - No effort, no flair and constantly blaming everyone else for his failings) - This, in line with his seemingly endless list of injuries, has made them decide to cut thier losses and sell, before his transfer value is affected significantly.

They have two offers on the table, being from Man City and Barcelona, and are willing to accept either, but they are looking for players to be involved in the deal.

Man City were happy to offer Tevez and Johnson plus c£10m, but the board are worried about how long Tevez is looking to stay playing in England, so not sure this will happen.

Barcelona is a straight cash deal - offered £35m - Liverpool want a player and have enquired about David Villa (cannot see it myself, but would be a great swap!).

Finally, Shawcross and Cahil are the two defenders the club are looking at (not both, but happy with either one)

Personally - Hope it is true Torres is leaving - Had enough of the incredible sulk (worse than Anelka)

Now torres he needs a kick up the arse put him in the reserves for a couple of weeks sit him down and tell him sort ya self out or move on, he was like a spoilt kid yesterday its my ball and am going home well go then son lfc were massive before you and will be after you. As for roy lads do wot i am going to on lfc tomoz nite you can talk to the owners live i erge us all to send emails tweets phone asking them to get rid he is a nice man agreed and an honest one but not up to the LIVERPOOL FC job if the owners are true to wot they say then they will listen to wot fans want. HIT BELEAVE IF YA WITH ME! ! wots your thoughts ed ?soobytommo true red {ed's note - I don't think asking for him to be sacked will do any good, questioning his record and asking if it is good enough or making points as to why you don't think he is right for the job would be far better than simply asking for him to be sacked.}

I asked about Hazard and Sanchez the answer was a definate no, which means it may well be Arda Turan (I hope its not Ashley Young).

Ed Liverpool aren't Liverpool anymore we lost at newcastle today and what's worse Hogdson has not got the best out of Torres all season. The owners must see this and with their ambition roys has to go you keep saying til the end of the season but I don't belive that for a second I believe he is gone before the transfer window opens.I think right now its between Rikjaard and Hiddink and I wouldn't be suprised if one of these got it but who do you think is more ideal to take over after Roy. {ed's note - Rijkaard has already been considered and rejected, it is well known he held talks but it was decided his personal business was not a good thing to have round the club, so to speak. As for Hiddink, I very much doubt he could be persuaded to manage us, he doesn't want the day to day involvement anymore.}

Hi every one I know who will be signing in January so don't worry. Don't look at big name players were going to get hopefully if all the deals go ahead then we will be laughing. We are going to be getting true Liverpool players like the Rush, aldos and king kennys of the past they wernt top players but Liverpool fc made them top players so why do you think Liverpool have got scouts up and down the globe and take it from some one who knows old Roy won't be looking forward to Christmas as the only present he's getting this year is the sack. He won't be the one to take us back and look back to when Samy Lee joined what happens we start to go back wards let's just say that a reacantly fired manerger will be the new Liverpool assistant manerger and finally Madrid haven't payed all the alonso money and with agger wanting out there may be a deal on the horizon to bring back alonso I steers MAY be happening as he misses Liverpool life I do know what I'm talking about I am very tight with a Liverpool player as I am his agent so I will try to get more information to you asap.
