To The Irish Rover:

"This is just a gut feeling, but when you look on this site & see all the names thrown around who we are interested in. I have a suspicion that we won't be signing anyone over the age of 25/ 26! I think that the new owners when they talk about being smart that this will be a stipulation on a new player. Players with possible add on value if they have to be sold at a later date. I haven't a clue how many players that may rule out, but it might be worth a thought. "

Agree, but there might be one or 2 exceptions with the hope they have an immediate effect and get us into top 4.
I would imagine all of NESV plans will very much involve Liverpool being in europe (competitions and not the contenants - before any smart arse comments)
Roy

Pretty tired of all the rafa fanatics on this site. Why don't you support Inter if you like the man so much? He is gone, thank god, and anyone would imagine that we played total football under Rafa! And stop saying FACT!
Give Roy and our team your backing!
And all this talk of giving youth team players a chance is all well and good but how many did Rafa give a chance to?
I was at a charity do a few weeks ago and Jan Molby gave a fairly straightforward assesssment of the youth/ reserve team. Pacheco could make it but he suffers alot from homesickness and Susu has terrific potential all the others he said have no chance of making it. Rafa spent millions recruiting these duds. FACT. Rafa has left the building! Forget about him.Bck the manager!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
BACK RH. Are you mad most ov care not end up down bottom os be mid table team. We can back great football, good football even 99%. But under Roy we gettin all negative football. Can you say you have enjoyed one game this season? Can you? I carnt. Even Blackburn was not good enough. It was for fulhams standards and that's all's Roy will ever be. Relaxation to mid table manager. And you want to happy to support our manager. Well I won't be doing it. I'll support the players who get out the and give99-100% and want be somewhere come what may

To be honest we don't need any more central midfielders, Lucas, Meireles and Gerrard are a good combination, plus J. Cole and Maxi can play in the middle, and buying another will just make it harder for Shelvey, Spearing and other youth midfielders to break into the squad.
We don't need any centre backs, Agger, Skrtel, Carra, Soto, Wilson, Ayala and Kelly are plenty. Again, buying more will make it harder to bring the youth through. If Roy is in charge in Jan I think Agger will leave, and you can't blame him the way Roy has treated him.
We do need a quality LB. Konchesky is not good enough and Aurelio is made of glass.
Most importantly we need two wingers. Sanchez would be a definite purchase for me, and another, possibly Turan. I would also want to see Pacheco get more chances. If Roy doesn't give him chances I would want to see him leave for a club that will give him chances. I don't want to see his potential wasted, even if it's at another club (although, ideally Roy would leave).
We also need another striker. Torres and N'gog are our only out and out strikers. I don't think Torres needs a partner, he's been great up front on his own since he joined, and nothing has changed this season. He's been directly responsible (assists and goals) for 10 of our 12 points. His form will improve and I'm confident that he wants to play for us. I think we need someone who doesn't mind being 2nd in line, but still has the quality to change a game, or fill in when Torres is injured.
The way Roy talked up Kevin Davies is scary. I don't think he's what we need, he's 34 in March, he's technically poor, and would only serve to encourage Roy to play negative, long ball football.
Lastly, Rafa's comments today were brilliant. He really is one of us, and although I thought it was his time to go, I miss him. "Every single press conference is even worse than the last one. He's talking about things that he doesn't know." Spot on.

Replying the post earlier, about Dalglish being appointed before napoli game, sorry to dash your lies sorry "rumour"
my nephew has been employed here in Belfast by the Liverpool Superstore opening in Castle lane on Friday Morning and guess who confirmed his presence to do the Official opening you got it Kenny, if he was manager i think he would be a bit busy to open a shop don't you.

back to reality, I agree with other posters here, i think Andy carrol would be a great signing, not "GREAT" as he is a superstar, purely because of what he offers (ON THE PITCH ED) that's what we care about, you have to trust his employers i.e. LFC to ensure he toes the line. On the pitch no doubt he would take the kicks, and fair play give it out, to ensure torres does his stuff. I must say i can't see Terry, or vidic, or yaya toure, having sleepless nights before facing ngog can you.

bel for carrol {ed's note - sorry but I don't see the point in employing a thug who will spend a good part of his career in jail, unless, of course, he gets the usual escape from justice footballers all seem to get.....}

Not sure if this is true, but a mate told me that Kenny Dalglish has advised Henry that Roy Hodgson isn't the man to make Liverpool progress. Apparantly Hodgson and Kenny don't get on, because Kenny was initially disappointed that Hodgson got the job over him (he felt his abilites surpassed Hodgon's). And since, they haven't got on at all as Hodgson has ignored his transfer reccomendations etc.! Dalglish wanted O'Neill or Pellegrini in charge originally

Do you think gerrard & carragher should be shown the door?, they've been demanding and running the club for the last decade
shankley lives on

Are You joking me , Carragher will never be shown the door and will stay at the club for the rest of his life.

Gerrard still one of the best midfielders in the world and in my opinion would not swap him for any other CM'S Lampard, Xavi , Iniesta. He has managed to carry Liverpool for many years with players around him who do not deserve to wear the replica Liverpool shirts. When NESV invest in the upcoming future and quality players are playing alongside him you will regret asking silly questions like the one above ;) . .

Always a red {ed's note - I would much rather go out and try and win, I want to enjoy watching the game rather than being bored to tears even when we win.}

exactly my point i can't remember the last time i enjoyed watching liverpool play. i just wonder how different things might be if we had won against arsenal on the opening day, would roy be more positive, or would it be the same boring stuff.

always a red {ed's note - I can't see him changing his ways no matter what.}
. . .
the thing is i'm convinced he still thinks hes at a mid-tabled team with his comments, hes using all the excuses he can and i don't think benitez ever used excuses other than injury problems which was a major factor in where we ended up at the end of last years campaign. But back to Hodgson he never seems up for a fight. just watch when we play Chelsea he's gonna say its a tough game etc (which is true) but hes not gonna say we're going to try and play for the win or set up his team to get anything other than a draw by playing; boring, dull, dry, sapless football who is going to be made electric by Chelsea's attack. we are only going to come to live at the late 80mins and that will have nothing to do with hodgson saying we need to attack because its always the fans who motivate the players to attack and get something out of it.

Im sure i saw an article somewhere about 2 weeks ago which claimed that Pellegrini expected to be back in management by december. I wonder if NESV are holding off on giving Hodgson the bullet because last thing they want is to bring in a new manager and then get beaten by Chelsea and Spurs in his first 2 games after that the fixtures are a little easier for a new manager to build a bit of momentum before jan transfer window. I don't know its just a tought. What u think ed. {ed's note - I know I wouldn't want to make changes to the managerial position before the Chelsea and Napoli games. I would get them out of the way then make the change if it was me.}

Liverpool Rumours
Is there anyone out there that say they wanted rafa to go are they happy at this time and if not how long do they think it will be before Liverpool get back to being feared like we were under rafa?
Is Liverpool better as a squad/ team now than under rafa, but just need time.
I didn't want rafa to go, last seaon he'd already had his heart ripped out of him by the way the club was being run, I honoustly believe under these owners rafa would have brought us the prem an much more

It's quite obvious that not all brazilians are of a "special" category , but this kid Ganso is , im sure of it , you watch in two years time , most clubs will regret not securing his future now rather than later , hell end up being bought from santos for £ 40 million maybe more! Same goes for Neymar , although he is younger and has more time! In football risks have too be taken! Another player that seemed to catch the eye a while back was Pablo Piatti , he has skill , pace and has a mould of messi , just needs better players around him! And would cost less than 10 million! do you rate him ed? readers?
TheRedFaithfull {ed's note - I have not seen Piatti play mate sorry.}

Is emmanuael mendy still on our books anyone, ed {ed's note - as far as I know he is still there.}


Mendy is still contracted to Liverpool but will probably ask to leave in January. He was interviewed in the summer and said he was unhappy at not even being close to the first team squad and would ask to leave in January if his situation didn't change.
Also it is almost certain that Liverpool will sign Mario Gomez in January.

Is there really a meeting with the owners tomorrow, ed? What's it about? {ed's note - I don't actually know for sure mate, I was hoping someone else could confirm it because no one I know is willing to talk at the moment. They don't want to get themselves into trouble.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
From what i've seen ED the meeting was meant to happen after the Blackburn match. But Mr Henry was taken ill and they had to put it back to tomorrow. Then Mr Henry will stay on to watch his 1st home game against Chelsea.

I don't know what the meeting is about but hopefully it's to give Roy his P45. And get him to apologise to us LFC fans for his moronic comments.

How would Andy Carroll disgrace the club, he is big, strong but still mobile, he can work well up front on his own and I think he would make the perfect partner for Torres . Gary Cahill looks like a top defender and I think could easily take over the reins from carragher, I just don't think the likes of Wilson ayala and mavinga are ready for the first team yet, I think a couple of seasons loaned out will do them good.
Steven Defour would provide the necessary creativity being as hodgson is adamant to play 4-5-1 we need 2 more attacking and creative centre Mids than Lucas and poulson so I think defour and mereiles would take the strain off gerrard so he can stick to his own role. {ed's note - you know Andy Carroll has been found guilty of assault right? That added to the assault on his girlfriend, the assault on his team mate (Steven Taylor) that led to serious problems within the club, the fact that Newcastle itself has expressed public concerns about his off-field activities, leads me to say he is not someone we need at the club.}

Plus I think you should start giving prizes out for fantacy football league manager of the week on this page. There seems to be more managers and scouts in here than prem and rest league's together.
Dave {ed's note - I don't think he will be gone this week, not just before we play Chelsea.}

Hi all,
Just dropping a line that Roy will be here this time next week. Nesv will not change managers before the chelski scum game. Roy stated last week he was havin a meeting With owners this week to discuss transfer targets. Only thing announced Tomorrow will be the finalisation of the board I'd say.
Also Gareth bale is a scumbag. We should give his planet of the apes head a right goin over when spuds visit. Pls pls stop sayin or wish we sign him coz he's a t* t.
Fowler is god

I wonder if NESV would have sanctioned ALL of roys last purchases if they had taken over in time for the last window! wouldn't you just love to be a fly on the wall at tomorrows meeting?
i think that they will suggest that poulsen goes over to the red sox to become the reserve, trainee boot boy, and to give tips about what shampoo and conditioner to use in the showers!

Liverpool should sign:
Andy Carroll 14 million
Ibrahim Affelay 8 mil
Steven Defour 10 mil + jovanovic
Taye Taiwo 5 mil / free in the summer
Elijro Elia 14 mil
Gary Cahill 10 mil
Total 62
Then sell people like babel, maxi, skrtel
What you think ed? {ed's note - not for me, I don't want Carroll to disgrace the club like he would. I also fail to see the need to pay 10m for Cahill, I just don't see how he is worth it, I would rather give Wilson, Mavinga, Ayala or Kelly a run at centre back alongside Agger. But the rest I would be fairly happy with, even though I don't see the need for Defour.}

i think its to discuss the removal of hodgson, , ask him if he is willing to resign, , and if not they will discuss his compensation and stuff, , , but i honestly think he will be gone b4 the chelsea game i think the new manager will be in charge at anfield on sunday, , , and kenny dalgliesh will take the reigns for thusday v napoli

It is about time Roy stopped freezing Pacheco out and gave him a try.}

Hodgson is a classic having a go at Benitez. Yes Rafa made mistakes but in his time he won the champions league, Fa Cup and we became a team feared across Europe. He brought us respect. He talks about signings. Rafa's first 2 were Alonso and Garcia Rh's were Koncheskey and Poulson.
Pacheco is not injured and will not get another look in. Same goes for Agger he is being frozen out.
If the board have any sense they will get rid of RH and give a new manager the transfer window in January.

Do you agree

I personally think that we should get Pellegrini, and King Kenny as his assistant, that itself would be a dream team but none the less, this should be the team come January.

MANAGER: MANUEL PELLGRINI

ASSISTANT: KING KENNY

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson will meet with the club's new principal owner John W Henry to discuss the Reds' plans for the January transfer window.
Quoted from the Guardian. Well Ed what do you think? Looks to me that Roy will be with us for another while yet, despite the information you have been given by 2 players! {ed's note - I would be very disappointed if the Guardian is correct, but not really surprised. I think the players were made to think a new appointment is imminent just to shut them up for a bit. I think it is a mistake to let Roy spend money in January, there is no way he will be managing us next season.}

"I have it on very good authority that due to his extensive knowledge of the game, and many years of experience, not to mention his ability to handle the pressure of the media, the LFC board will look to none other than Ed to take up the manager's position"

I disagree. I think ed is going to be more suitable.

In jan i believe these are all possible targets now
honda - these yanks are clever business men honda would sell shirts and hes decent
SWP - we need wingers not the best but could get on the cheap not doing much at city these days.
ireland - probs don't need him but ssn today said hes basically unhappy at villa would definately attract clubs but don't no if he could be bought in jan.
bent - we would definately attract him because playing for lpool would help his chances with england

i also believe the owners will make a marquee signing to let us the fans know they mean business hicks and gillete gave the funds for torres before we all hated them lol

possible marquee signings

mata, aguero, benzema, higuain, young,

i maybe wrong but these yanks seem to know to make money you need to spend it. they did it with the red sox.

would also love to see poulson and lucas sold to raise funds for banega the lad is alonso with tricks.

what do you guys think i think im fairly close.

weve got a few decent youngsters coming through so he won't want to stop there chances of a game. you guys were talkin about pacheco why isn't he playing? ive watched him a few times this seasn and if im honest he looks a little lightweight atm and that at reserve level i think michael ngoo could get his chance this season though.

What about that "Ganso" from Santos? Would cost quite a bit of money say £17 million pounds , but it would in my opinion be a very good signing , just think about it , pato for ac milan got bought at a risk ( paid off so far) PSG took a chance on Ronaldinho a couple of years back and he ended up best player in the world at one time . we have to take risks and go for these players , what do you think? beli- if u agree , unbelie - if u don't
TheRedFaithfull {ed's note - he would almost certainly cost in the region of 30m.}

- Maybe so but he is only 20 years old , and if he was not a success in England , Barcelona , Real or AC would pay atleast £20million back to us because they know how the other Brazilian's turned out!
I personally believe if we got him and maybe improved him physically , he could be our talisman for years to come , some say he's Brazil's replacement for Rivaldo! ( wishfull thinking of course!) what do you think ed?
TheRedFaithfull {ed's note - I don't think his price makes him a good buy.}

And for all the clowns saying back Hodgson get a grip look at the state of us under him, no true fan can say hes good for the club.


YNWA! {ed's note - I don't know anything about this Pellegrini rumour other than him definitely having had contact with the club. I know that he said he was interested in the job, but that is all I know. Personally I wouldn't go for Deschamps, I have not seen the way his teams play to know if I would want him or not.}

So ed?? is there a reason for disliking vucinic?
could you suggest another striker? Guisseppe Rossi would be nice? and also do u like the sound of gervinho?

RRethan {ed's note - Rossi is class, but I am not convinced he would work well with Torres. Vucinic just doesn't stand out for me as a top quality player and he is at his peak now, probably too late to move to English football from Italian. Gervinho I haven't seen enough of to judge. I like Llorente and Hulk myself, there are others but I can't think of them off the top of my head.}

We won't get Connor Wickham for £8m. Spurs offered £8m in the Summer I believe, and Ipswich wanted £10m. £10m for a 17 year old who is unproven at any level? Plus, if Liverpool added to other clubs like Spurs and Arsenal go in for him, Ipswich may want more.

Just 1 quick question to ed and every1 on here. if you could, which would you choose;

play the same boring football under roy
and draw 0-0 against chelski
then to scrape another 1-0 win against stoke.

or

play like we started against blackburn
but loose 3-2 against chelski (but atleast have a go)
then win 4-1 at stoke.

just abit of fun, plus i know we should be looking to win every game just like the 'good old days'. but would you bet the house on us winning on sunday.

Its a shame you all think this way of roy. Any real liverpool fan would ware his or her heart on his sleeve and give a guy the chance to make his impact. my thoughts on the idea of employing him in the first place was to have an english manager with prem knowledge instead of a foreign chancer. lets face it there all good till they end up being bap look at scolari and chelski, pelegrini at real and he had primera ex. we all know how Fergies first season went and we all know the rest lets give him a chance. And on the english note lets buy english and steer clear of mercinaries, A Young, D Bent, S W Phillips, D Bently? ?, and maybe even G Bellamy pain in the arris but cracking player. {ed's note - are you on a wind up?

In which case I would expect him to cost a lot less than 12m, which I think is a bit much for him anyway. I am not sure on Vucinic either, I think there are much better strikers available for 15m, he just doesn't have that extra something for me.}

Reports in the German newspaper Die Zeit are claiming that Liverpool are are hot on the trails of Bayern Munich manager Louis van Gaal. The Dutchman has had a successful spell at the Allianz Arena, winning a Bundesliga title, a German cup and getting to the Champions League final in his first season.

He was one of the frontrunners to replace Rafa Benitez in the Summer, but was reluctant to leave the German outfit. However strained relationships with Franz Beckenbauer could mean the Dutchman will look elsewhere on the continent for a managerial post. Van Gaal, in his time at AZ Alkmaar, expressed his interest in managing in England before taking up the Bayern post and it is believed that this is still an interest.

Whether he would leave Bayern Munich during the season is questionable, despite his short-comings with Beckenbauer. It is however believed that Van Gaal wouldn't be first choice to replace Roy Hodgson should he leave.

Rumours going round that Torres has said to the new owners that he wants Agüero and Mata at liverpoo, also if my sources are correct Hodgson will be sacked tommorow with Pelligrini taking over almost immideately. McKop

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If Torres is demanding this then he should pack up playing, and if your sources are correct he can be next LFC Manager when Roy gets the boot.

Any player who starts demanding who should play for us should be shown the exit door - I don't care who it is or how good they are - players like this have no place at our club as it will lead to deep divisions in the dressing room and no chance of sliverware.

Woy'sWevolution

I don't think Torres is demanding the players. I think he just recommended the players to NESV and i think it's fair because he's the the one who'll be partnering with that future player.

Ed im sorry to disagree with you but i don't think bent would be good for liverpool. i know he scored 24 in the league last year but 10-12 of them would be penalties and he is not a good taker either (Imagine if nando took penalties - separate topic)
we've had a lot of one season wonders in the past in the EPL Johnson(crystal palace) B.Macarty(Blackburn) Santa Cruz and then they failed horribly. I believe he is of the same breed
He wouldn't be a good partner for torres either we need someone stronger who torres can play off. hulk and lorente would be good although hulk would be ideal hes really strong and can really dribble as well and can slot into more formations a rw or in the hole unlike lorente. Thoughts?

True Red {ed's note - how can you call Bent a one-season wonder when he has done it over a number of seasons with Charlton and Sunderland? That's harsh and unfair I think. The reason why I think he would be good is because he is very good in the air and he has pace. I would prefer Llorente or Hulk though and I think we have more chance of getting those than we have of the fat head selling us a player.}

Personally I think we should be looking a bit closer to home for a striker than all of the big names such as Gomez, Lisandro Lopez, Forlan, Cardozo etc being banded around. And that exact player should be Darren Bent. Since joining Sunderland he's been right near the top of the scorers charts, with 33 goals in only 51 games, with limited chances being created for him. He is good in the air, fast, a clinical finisher and would be perfect foil for Nando in a 442 formation. Plus he's used to the lone strikers role and could lead the line well when Torres is inevitably injured. He's only 26 and therefore meets the criteria that NESV have mentioned. As well as this, he may be available for less than some of the other names, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sunderland wanted at least 20mill.

Ed, what are the chances we could be this "another high-level club" to have moved in for Afellay that this Camp Nou Zuberata bloke is referring to?
Also, I'd like you put your on the block and say which players do you see coming in in Jan.
Lastly, if we can put £25m on the table for Sanchez (which I believe NESV would seeing as he's young, has the talent, could be somewhat of a personality cult and would have a massive sell-on value) and Udinese accept, why wouldn't he join?

Yes, he's a "Swum fan", but would that be much of a factor, especially if the Swum don't move in for him-as I believe they won't?Ed, aren't you rather way too pessimistic in your outlook new signings-wise?

{Editor's Note: I cannot see Sanchez signing for Liverpool at all - when he does move he will have a multitude of suiters. Liverpool may well be the other club interested in Afellay.}

=====

I don't see how we can't get him. If it's true and he's gonna cost £25m then Man Utd have definitely been priced out of the deal. Real Madrid already have young, talented wingers (too many in my opinion), he would fit into Barca's 4-3-3 since he'd have too compete with Pedro, Messi, Villa and Chelsea have left their big-spending days behind them.

With the new owners looking to make an impression, Sanchez would definitely sway the fans opinions in their favour, while keeping with their prerequisites of youth, marketability and sell-on value.

£8m for a striker who can't get a game for Ipswich. Yes he's 17, but if he was that good he'd be getting a regular game just like Michael Owen did at Liverpool (only Owen was in the PL, whereas Wickham is in the Championship).

I agree ED but it would be nice if it was true we were a least interested him. Don't you think no matter what striker we buy probably wouldn't get a regular game with Torres there?

Unless we play with 2 upfront and lets face it isn't going to happen with Roy in charge.

Ibrahim Afellay, but fears that
another European giant made have
made more progress towards
sealing the deal.
The PSV Eindhoven attacking
midfielder sees his contract at the
Philips Stadion run out next summer
and has already stated his desire to
try a new challenge abroad. Indeed,
it was even reported that
discussions with Barcelona are
under way.
"He is an excellent player, and
among other things [will be] out of
contract", Zubizarreta told ONA FM.
"But, it seems there is already
another high-level club after him."
Afellay could well move in the
January transfer window, with PSV
keen to realise at least some value
from the player.

January Transfers.

Ibrahim Affelay - £4m
Keisuke Honda - £8m
Niko Kranjcar - Swap
Antonio Cassano - Free or £5m
Carlton Cole - £10m

Affelay is a free agent in the summer and is being targeted by numerous clubs. Hodgson is a big admirer and Liverpool will try and push through a sale by offering a small amount. If PSV reject the bid, Liverpool will enter pre-contract negotiations with the player and sign him for free in the summer instead. But he is a priority for Hodgson in January.

Keisuke Honda as we all know is a quality player with bags of skill and ability. Part of NESV's plans is to expand Liverpool's global reputation in order to make the branding of the club bigger, better and richer. The Far Eastern market is tough to crack, but with Honda's popularity, shirt sales from his name in Japan will definitely be a storm. Hodgson also admired him through the World Cup and sees his versatility, fantastic free-kick ability and skill as an attacking force and threat to opposition. He wants him to play 'in the hole' behind Torres.

Niko Kranjcar is out of favour at Tottenham and was linked to Liverpool before he went to Spurs. Harry Redknapp is a big admirer of Ryan Babel and could use the lack of football situation to entice both players to switch clubs. Both Liverpool and Tottenham are willing to sell both players and a swap deal could suit both clubs and both players.

Antonio Cassano is currently in serious trouble with his club Sampdoria. He publically criticised the club's president and since then, his apologies have been rejected and he has been refused permission to train with the squad. Sampdoria have applied to the Italian FA to have Cassano's contract terminated with immediate effect, hence the chances of him signing on a free. If the Italian FA reject this appeal from the Italian club, he will not play for them again and will leave for £5m. Liverpool have already been linked with him.

Carlton Cole was close to a switch to Liverpool on the final day of the transfer window in the Summer. The deal fell through because Ryan Babel refused to leave Liverpool for West Ham. With the Hammers rooted to the bottom of the league, a majority of their top players may look to move on as quickly as possible. Hodgson as we know is keen on him as he wouldn't have tried to sign him in the summer. He sees him as the ideal partner for Torres.

That's All for now Folks!

Liverpool Rumours:

Turan's spokesman has stated he will stay at Galatasaray.
For some this could be a way of stopping a bidding war at the request of a potential new club but for me considering Turans nationality (he won't be disloyal to the biggest club in his country) and his being captain I think it is a straight statement of intent, he is the poster boy and rising star of turkish footy, he will stay at Gala. Honda however is apparently unhappy in Russia and fits our profile, young talented and huge marketing potential, similarly Sanchez. but. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WITH SHINY KNOBS ON. NO MORE GOMEZ STORIES HE IS SH1T! ! SO IS CARLTON COLE!
We should target Affelay and Sanchez and a young striker who can score goals something seemingly beyond Gomez and Cole.

Please LFC buy Alexis Sanchez and Keisuke Honda! ! ed do you think we could sign these players in Jan?

{Editor's Note: No chance at all of Sanchez but Honda is looking to move on to advance his career - so perhaps.}

My partner works for the press team at White Hart Lane, and she has heard that Liverpool have submitted a formal offer for two players, one of which has been rejected out of hand and the other is 'open for negotiation'.

The two players involved are:
Michael Dawson - Offer in the region of £12m has been rejected and a formal 'not for sale' response.

Wilson Palacios - Offer of £9m is being considered for the tough tackling midfielder.

Personally, think he would be a great purchase - Seen him play live many times (Live in London and the other half gets a lot of free tickets, so have to put up with watching the Spurs) and he a quietly consistant, rarely misses a tackle, works his back side off for the team and not bad at all on the ball.

She also says she has heard a whisper that Harry is very interested in signing Ryan Babel - No idea of the fee, but Harry beleives he can get the best out of the lad, so lets wait and see

Ed. can you please put on the rumours page, if someone is going to have a go at me can they at least read the post correctly! thanks

To whomever posted below


I am chris 1, and if you care to read the post correctly you will see i was responding to the drivel you rightly talk about. i did not post it originally.

Secondly, you are quite right and it should have been on the banter page.

Editor, please have your secretary manually move the posts into the right category.

A hoodlum known as "chris 1" posted the following gem in the rumours section:

"i would like to see at the club in january the following players. just my view

sergio aguerio ( at all cost)
ashley young @ LW or RW
adam johnson @ LW or RW
gareth bale @ LB or LW
michale owen( still got some good years ahead)"


I'm sorry, but that is not rumours. That is an insane wishlist for the upcoming transfer window, and indeed drivel.

If I'm being forced to read more "wishlists" like those in the rumours section, then it might be time to remove this site from my bookmarks.

Good day.

Some good rumours on this page and some less so. NESV have already said they will be prudent with their spending and with the continuing assessment of the club I feel they will be unwilling to make big transfers in January and the fact that the Jan transfer window is not always the best time to secure great value.
IMO the positions that Roy will seek to bolster these positions with four of the names listed below arriving:

RB: Samuel Inkoom (Basel)/ Valon Behrami (West Ham, he could also play in midfield)

CM: Michael Bradley (Bor. Mon)/ Gohkan Inler (Udinese)/ Mathieu Flamini (AC Milan)

RW/ LW: Ibrahim Affelay (PSV, though Barca have opened talks already)/ Elijo Elia (Hamburg)/ Chung-Yong Lee (Bolton)

ST: Gervinho (Lille, can also operate as a winger)/ Roque Santa Cruz (Man City, difficult to see City letting him go to us)

{Editor's Note: I agree about Bent.}

Wrong, it's not a matter of league position but of stature. We finished seventh last season - an absolute disaster - yet Ibrahim Affelay, Keisuke Honda, Arda Turan and footballing prodigy Conor Wickham have all expressed their admiration and interest in joining Liverpool. Why buy a new, popular wine when you can buy the older, more tastier yet less popular one. I know that metaphor is absolutely ridiculous but just look at Juventus - finished mid-table in Serie A for a few seasons yet attracted star strikers and some of the best young talent in Europe.

Anyway, my contact emailed me earlier today about Roy's increasing interest in Georginio Wijnaldam, don't know the correct spelling but Kenny's supposed to be keen on him. I think he plays for Feyenoord as a DM and is 19.

We can all guess about you will or will not be joining in the jan/ summer transfer window, but I think we should judge rumours based on how NESV have outlined their strategy. . . . A) under 26yrs of age, with the potential to increase in value rather than decrease in value. . B) large commercial / marketing potential. . . C) 'relatively' resonable wage demands. . as a result, I think it is fair to say that the Hondas, Matas, Afellays, Hazards, Youngs, Wickhams and Marins of this world would be potential 'yeses'. . .and the Forlans, Parkers, Owens, Vieras, Rauls and Trezegets of the world are definitly out of the poicture. . . before people start talking about some of the specific names mentioned here, don't bother. . .I only name names to illustrate the type of player profile likely / unlikely to be pursued.

I am a reporter who is based just down the road from melwood and I have just seen Fernando Llorrente in a car outside the entrance.

Also my sources in germany have told me that Miroslav Klose is a big fan of Liverpool and that he said that he wants to leave Bayern but he said that if he would to go to LFC then he would demand that one of his international teammates go with him. Personally I would like to see Per Mertesacker or Mario Gomez arrive with him.

I have also been told that Niko Krancjar has been told he can leave Spurs but Newcastle is his preffered destination.

If Torres is demanding this then he should pack up playing, and if your sources are correct he can be next LFC Manager when Roy gets the boot.

Any player who starts demanding who should play for us should be shown the exit door - I don't care who it is or how good they are - players like this have no place at our club as it will lead to deep divisions in the dressing room and no chance of sliverware.

{Editor's Note: I still expect the player to move to Juventus. The following quote was attributed to the player over the weekend: "Enough of all of the rumors - I have not signed any agreement with Bayern nor with Juventus, nor with any English clubs. I am a Wolfsburg player and I have a contract with the club until 2013."}

To all those slagging lucas off he is a good player being played in wrong position when he won his awards in south america he played a more attacking role and has played his best games for Liverpool when allowed to play this role not be kept back as a defensive midfielder allow him to go forward and you will see his true quality.

Liverpool FC Followers:


A few too many people on here get carried away wanting " a good english foundation" and that it will help towards WC.

I am no in the slightest bit interested in how we do at the WC- I just want to see LFC back in UCL and win the EPL!

Roy has bought Konchesky (god knows why) and we now therefore have Carra Gerrard Johnson Konchesky already at the club. I think asking to buy A Young - who is the best of a bad bunch in Villa just for the English Factor is ridiculous. He will cost 20m minimum and for that money I would rather get Banega and Mata!

ED - what are your thoughts on "buying english"?

Some of the posts by LFC fans on this website are absulute manure.
At the moment LFC are midtable after a poor start to the season, but Hodgson is starting to get it right at LFC and deserves credit for the work he is doing.

Some of the players that get critized over and over again are beginning to perform. Such players include Konchesky, Maxi and Meireles. These players especially Maxi have contributed alot to LFC in their last two premier league games and these players dererve some credit for a change.

It appears that most people on here want RH to buy another holding CM. I for one hope we don't. Rafa started this whole sensation of a holding midfielder and it seems to be essential that every team plays with one these days. Why can't we play 4-4-2 and have the 2 CM's tracking back, up and down as it always used to be. Granted when the other team have the ball it is nice to have that extra man helping out, but when we've got the ball we're a man down. I would much prefer two ball players in the centre of the field, after all, if the other team can't get the ball off you they can't do much.
I would like to see us sign:

Banega
Jarvis
Sanchez
Carroll (I know the Ed don't like him, but credit where its due, he's a real handful for any centre half).
Everyone keeps listing Turan, and the little bits i've seen are really good, but I personally haven't watched him enough, that's why I haven't listed him. Before January I would also like to see Jova given a chance up top, after all he is a striker

Get rid now an please please do not give him any money coz he will blow it look who he's bought upto now Poulsen an koncheskey are not fit to clean the reserves boots never mind were the shirt .we got lucky yesterday we were awful again we need quality. Lorente, young, hazard, Cahill, aguero, lavetzi, quantro, name but a few get him out nowalso carragher is finnished what's your thoughts ed sorry I got a lil carried away.Plus alot of ppl are just writing what we already read in the papers

I am fed up of you fools who think they are henry. you fools want to get rid of rh. lollll i bet if you were to coah the team the team will end up in conference division. so stop negative thinking and get behind the team. wasn't alexis ferguson at manure a looser when he now became coach. now he is world class.

sorry wake up. i am a lfc supporter and i am hurt just as you people about our position. rh knows who he needs to bring in. can you all read his interviews. needs to overhaul the team. he bought players based on the money given to him by those to idiots. now the money is there so he can buy good players.
if the team is in a position like in the top 6 by december theen we can attract quality players and push for a top 4 position. i watch the last two games and can you see the confidence in maxi plays. can any one deny that. when joe cole came off and maxi went to left side . he played with flair and quality. torres touches is coming back. the team is now believing in its self

i would like to see at the club in january the following players. just my view

sergio aguerio ( at all cost)
ashley young @ LW or RW
adam johnson @ LW or RW
gareth bale @ LB or LW
michale owen( still got some good years ahead)


so the team should be

reina
(glen johnson) carragher wilson bale
young gerrard (adam johnson)
cole
aguero torres

this team will murder any team in the world. it got speed, strength and class and youn english talent which will help us in world cup. {ed's note - Roy bought two central midfielders, the only position at the club that didn't need strengthening, he refuses to give youngsters a chance, no matter how well they play in European games because it would be 'unfair' on the experienced players. He is never going to be good enough with that attitude, not that it would matter if we had the 11 best players in the world in the team if they are sent out to defend all match long.}

Couple of points regarding the above!

Since when did old whiskey breath change his gender and become alexis?

next; It was Roy himself who stated we should judge him on the "play" ( i use that term rather loosely) that we utilise.
next; are you honestly suggesting we give this man whatever funds we have available to buy yet more average players so we can at best aspire to become that mighty force that was fulham.
Next; I doubt anyone on here regards themselves as John Henry, if we did Roy wouldn't still be here.
next; sorry but owen hasnt still got good years ahead of him, based on NESV criteria for buying future players he fails on every account

I could go on. and on. .

Look at the ed's comments, Roy essentially bought players we didn't need, doesn't give youth players a chance, forgot to buy a striker, seems to have a passing relationship with tactics, comes out with some outrageous comments, trots his cv out at press conferences to defend his antiquated playing style. .

give me strength! !

Strong rumours coming out of liverpool that kranjcar and n'zgobia will be bought it with babel leaving.

They will fill the wingers positions we need.

so team could look like this:

meireles gerrard

Nzogbia / Kuyt j.cole Kranjcar

Torres

Subs:
Jones
Lucas
nzogbia/ kuyt

Regarding Roy's early pay off:
I think NESV are still playing the PR game with LFC supporters, they won't exercise the cheep 30 day payoff for the sake of it. They will only sack Roy if they have a quality manager to replace him with.
Whether that is in the next two weeks or the next two months is irrelevant.
I read some facts about NESV, the first thing they did @ Boston was to bring in the top people to manage & run the team. So this tells me we will have a very capable Chief Exec & manager before too long!

I think the club would be very suprised at the support it will receive here. ."

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Liverpool's pre-season next summer involved North America - NESV are American and American's are extremly adept at marketing and exploiting potential revenue streams. Soccer is still developing in the US and major european clubs are a big draw. Should they buy for instance Keisuke Honda possibly a game or two in Japan to capitalise on shirt sales and brand awareness would be expected.

For what its worth i pass on the following.

Our company has work links with usa, and we have quite a few americans over on work/ sabbaticals etc.

After talking to a few of them who are into football they all came up with the following.

Regrding NESV they say they have done wonders with the red sox, and that the owners are careful, considered, and plan for the long term. But the interesting point was that they mentioned that they listen, ask questions, and guage reactions from websites such as this. Please don't take this the wrong way. i am not saying that they will base decisions on websites such as this. but they will garner as much information from wherever they are able.

We finally won away! about time.

Lets be honest yesterday wasnt pretty but i was proud of the way we kept going and the last 10mins we were actually pushing 4 a winner and we got it.

Lucas is emerging as a very good player, we should keep him. Torres was awful, hope he snaps out of this form.

Anyone else agree that without j.cole and playing 2 up top we were so much more of a threat, ngog played well, that's not me saying joe shouldnt play but we need 2 up top.

Judging by Roys comments today, at least 1 striker will be coming in, and the way he highlighted and i quote ' we have 3 strikers, if you include babel and that's not enough ' may suggest that he will buy two strikers and let babel leave.

I doubt he will buy another left back, we need 1 but can't see him doing that in Jan. Another centre halve as i believe agger may leave. A CB, 2 strikers and a winger is what we need.

Ed,
Just wondering what are the key dates to get rid of Roy if NESV decide he's had it?
We have this 30 day clause in place, and are you assuming that Kenny would be able to caretaker manage, so as to allow breathing space for the Board to take their time and make sure they get a really good long-term manager?
And maybe that would be KK himself, who knows?

So what exactly was their effective takeover date, when the 30 day clock started ticking?
Because if you are right that Roy is not their ideal choice for the long term, and they will probably want to save some pay-off money by using the 30 day clause (if the team performances are not too badly damaged by a change of manager), I reckon he only has maybe two weeks left, at most?
Maybe they are thinking that there is nothing to lose- i.e. no chance of a top four finish this season, so what the hell- pay him off and get a new man in asap? Or maybe they think there is no chance of a top 4 with Roy in place, but a slim chance if they get rid of him? What do you reckon, and what is the final 30-day deadline date?
He has had a quarter of a season, and pretty much anyone they ask will say that its ok to get the tactics and formations a bit messed up as his ideas bed in- but he is not motivating them to really go for it on the pitch, and by now he should at least be doing that, at least? {ed's note - I am not actually sure what the date will be, the problem is that takeovers are complicated, its completion date, I believe is the date from which the 30 days commence. Does anyone know when that is? But I would rule out any chance of Kenny taking charge on any kind of caretaker basis, I don't believe there is any chance of that happening.}""

Cheers Ed- I mentioned KK because it might be a factor in their thinking, if they reckoned he could provide a steady interim role, allowing them to pay of Roy cheaply, and still wait for a truly top class manager.
Ideally, you imagine they would take their time, and look at getting the likes of Hiddink in 2011, or even Guardiola if the rumours are true, in preference to Rikjaard or Pellegrini, who are very good, but have mixed track records? NESV are all about stats and track records arent they?
So they seem to have three options
1. Pay off Roy in the next two weeks, and approach a manager who is available now, e.g. Pellegrini or Frank R.
2. Pay off Roy and ask KK to hold the reins whilst they wait for Hiddink, maybe in a few months or next summer
3. Dont risk upsetting the team's form (such as it is), and so keep Roy until Hiddink is available- and accept they'll have to pay him the extra money when he goes?
4. Take the risk that the team will do badly, and that Roy clearly has to go by January anyway, so NESV are then forced into a change.
That way they have to pay more to get rid of him, and take whatever mgr is around at the time.
If you were NESV, you might not want to wait until you were forced to get rid of him, maybe?
They have this chance to now make a judgement based on everything they've seen, about whether he can do the job, and get rid of him cheaply. They want success more than anything else- that is their ultimate judgment criteria.
I think they'll pull the rug from from under him, to be honest. The team didn't look like convincing winners yesterday for long spells.
A massive performance against Chelsea might make them pause, but a bad one and a loss, could seal his fate.

Hodgson has identified two young players he is looking to bring in this coming January - Both are current regulars with the England under 21 set up -
Michael Mancienne - Chelsea - £8m
Nathan Delfouneso - Villa - £8m

Both players are exactly what we need - Energetic, quick and strong {ed's note - if that's the level he is aiming at we are in trouble. Mancienne is not even first choice for Wolves and Delfouneso can't get in Villa's side, despite their striker problems.}

Also, did anyone see sanchez's goal for Udinese yesterday. 30yards out, top corner. He reminds me of c.ronaldo.

Yeah Hodgson is awesome! I'm loving our attacking free flowing football. I love the fact our defence is rock solid and organised. I love the way our star players look overjoyed and confident. I like his formations, subs and his constant changes during a match. I love his whit and his ability to ignore any criticism any of our players get. I love the way he's made our team title contenders with the same squad that finished 2nd two seasons ago and 7th with star players being injured last season. I think Benitez would have us sat bottom now.
Yes Roy Hodgson is making us proud!
He is awsome!

Wouldn't it make sense both financially and in footballing terms to sign 2 strikers quite cheaply. Why not do this. . .

Ola Toivonen for Ryan Babel. Straight Swap.

Roque Santa Cruz, loan until end of the season.

No money spent other that a signing on fee and wages.

I think the Toivonen for Babel would definitely go through, unsure if City would all Santa Cruz to join on loan though.
Toivonen has scored 8 goals in 11 games for Ajax this season. Yes, Santa Cruz has had his injury problems but there was a time when we were linked to him before he want to City and I think he would do a decent enough job for us. He's experienced, proven goal scorer, and would be good to bump up the attacking numbers.

Not saying these 2 would be my first choice because they are far from that. Its always hard to sign players in the middle of the season but I just think these 2 would definitely add better attacking options quickly with a fair amount of quality and I think we'd have a very good chance of signing them.

What do you guys think?

As far as I'm aware, Roy has been given a vote of confidence and WILL be the manager for at least this season.
Torres doesn't look happy but nothing has been mentioned about him wanting to leave. As far as Liverpool and everyone ascotiated with the club are aware he is happy here. The press are doing their usual rounds by unsettling the club. They are doing the same with United now because Spurs have become their darling club along with Arsenal and Chelsea.

I certainly think we've missed a trick with signing a left back. .we scrambled to get Konchesky. .but his replacement at Fulham Salcido. .looks a much better all-round player. . Salcido was mentioned on here a few times in the summer. .think he would have been an excellent signing.

January. .I think Babel should just go now. .he's not getting any game time to play 'well or bad' or have any influence. We do need a pair of wingers and a striker (though I'd still play Jovanovich up with Torres before NGog), but whoever comes in, Roy needs to stop being so defensive. our attacking players need to be let off the leash, otherwise no matter who comes in we still will not create a thing.

stability and form doesn't come in one day. Granted woy isn't the best out there but he is more than capable of bringing stability much needed at anfield. Sacking him this early is detrimental! what do u think Ed?

As a Red from South Africa I had the delight and privelige of watching most of the games Chile played during the World Cup. I had never heard of this fella called Sanchez before the World Cup but soon realised he must be something special when I saw the vast amount of Chilean supporters that were crazy about him. The first match I watched was Chile v Switzerland and I could not believe what a talent Sanchez was. Every time he touched the ball you got the sense that something was going to happen. He is just one of those players that get the crowd on the edge of their seats as he makes things happen. He is skillful, intelligent, fast and can make and score goals. This is exactly what we have missed for many years. Sanchez is the man. If I could wish for one signing in January it would be him. Break the bank and get him. He is a star and will add a new dimension to our play.

RE:

You lads can call Kyrgiakos a good player if he keeps Drogba quiet next week and then so will I, but personally I think he won't, and even if he does there is no way we'll handle Malouda and Anelka the way they're playing.

Hodgson will cack it and with Kuyt back he'll shift Maxi left and have 3 in the middle with Gerrard just off Torres to not be overun in midfield.

We are at home, Man city got at them why can't we? Cmon Ngog!

Did you actually watch that game? Man City got lucky, on another day they would have lost 2/ 3 nil. I'm not to happy with Woy, but give the guy a chance- he can't win at the mo, he fielded an attacking team against city at eastlands and got punished for it. So- lets just wait and see, again it's up to the players to take responsibility. We got a bit of luck yesterday, fingers crossed we can use that and put on a fight next week!

PS: NESV won't put up with failure, so the players & management are fighting for their futures til Jan.

This can still be a successfull season for us Fa cup, europa leage and Cl place all still to play for. So come on and get behind the team. A Bring on Chelsea next!"

Sorry mate, while I admire your positive thinking, I'm embarrassed by the way we play. Dull, unimaginative football. Watch Arsenal, Chelsea and hate to say it swum, quick on the attack, positive intent, flair players. You might be happy watching us grind out a draw or even a lucky win, but I'm not. Roy has to go, we knew he shouldn't have been appointed and as so far he's proven the so called negative lfc supporters right. Blind allegiance is for those without the capacity to think.

So Roy wants "Five or Six Players" in January. I doubt He'll find that many of any quality, but the key positions to fill are: LB (Konchesky isn't up to standard and Aurelio is always injured, Surprise Surprise! ), CM (A Holding midfielder is essential, preferably someone with some energy and power), At least one Wide player, or just anyone with real pace to play on either flank and at least one Striker. So judging by Roys comments, He would still want another two positions filled. January is notorious for panic buys, but if at all possible Affellay should be the Prime Target as he's likely to start a bidding war with his contract ending the Summer. I doubt we'll be able to attract him though with Barcelona reportedly in Pole Position.

First time poster! I know that everyone on here keep's saying that we need all these new players , the team is "sh#ep" and all that , but youve got to remember it is still bar a few players the same team that finished 2nd 2 season's ago, so it can't be that bad ! I personally believe that torres and gerrard have had a row of some sort , because on the pitch it is now just nonexsistant , were gerrard feeds torres for chances and just turns without emotion back , where as before they would thank each other for creating something and feel good for the football they were trying with smiles on their faces , the only reason torres has started running is because he's had a wake up call! And by a certain Jamie Carragher in my opinion! , what i think the team should do is give Suso (although he is very young ) Kelly and Shelvey a chance! not play them everygame , but one every 3 weeks , just to see what theve got and get their hopes up! We will turns this around - By NESV or by Jamie and Steve's will , we will rise again!

and i hope that they don't take roy's advice and sanction carlton cole and co! let's hope NESV are as wise as they seem to be, and at least appoint a true footballing man to oversee transfer dealings! ok, if roy is to stay, let him coach, don't let him buy useless drabble and re-create fulham , just let a man who knows buy great players for our club!"

NESV used statistics when assessing baseball players for the Red Sox. Its not so clear cut in football, but for a striker, they will want a proven high scoring ratio, over a season or two. Cole has been injured and doesn't have a great goals scored to minutes played ratio, and they will also look at his age.
Roy must know that NESV will laugh in his face if he even suggests paying serious money for Cole, and actually they will probably begin to suspect that his judgement of players is sh*te.
He had no real money in the summer, although one wonders if maybe he still could have got rid of babel earlier and used the money for tiovonen or another similar- but in january he will have some spending power. But don't worry- he simply will not be allowed to buy old, mediocre, or underperforming players, no matter how much he wants them.
If there is no statistical evidence that his suggested buys can perform, NESV won't agree the purchase.
PS- who should start against Chelski- Koncheski or Aurelio? Beleive for Aurelio, unb for Konch

After his last 2 performances can we agree that Lucas is a good player and selling him would be a big mistake? Was man of the match vs Blackburn, and I'd say he's man of the match today aswell.
He's always improving.

Copy and pasted this don't have a clue if theres any truth init In October 2010, Udinese agreed a fee of approx £12m for the transfer of Sanchez to English Premier League side Liverpool F.C. with the player deciding on the transfer but i reckon its alotta s* te lol ed wht you make of this? {ed's note - I don't believe it myself, is it from wiki by any chance?}

It amazes me how many people seem to consider Wiki and Twitter useful sources of information.
The Italian media have previously reported Sanchez has a wish to play in England or Spain, and hopes to move sooner rather than later. Udinese hope for £20M for him, but may accept a little less for a player who only cost them £3M.

Post in rumour section please.

not to be rude but all you people saying this player and that player are no good for liverpool remember this. Mr javier mascherano played for a small team called west ham and mainly sat on the bench as he was not good enough, he came to liverpool and last year and maybe year before was are best player, just cus a player does not suit one style of football does not meanhe will not thrive under different management.

Jesus Martinez, manuel pellegrini's agent has said that pellegrini was approached before hodgeson was made manager, but because of the pending takeover of nesv, he wanted to wait. Martinez say's that liverpool is a club that pellegrini would like to manage , and the new liverpool management have spoken with him! true or false i don't know guy's, just what i have read.

Hearing we are lining up a 9 mill bid for Charles N'Zogbia. I not sure about this one. Ed firstly do you know if this has any integrity, secondly is he the kind of player you would want at LFC?
Readers your thoughts on this one.

I think Roy should to the honourable thing and realise that the job is far far too much for him and step down like GS at Middlesbrough!

RH and Liverpool are looking at brining in Nicolas Otamendi from porto in the summer, to be back up CB and RB.
