Liverpool are not going in for Ashley Young, but Tottenham are.
How does this effect us? If they sign Young then Aaron Lennon becomes availible, who i personally believe is a much better player and somewone i would love to see down our right wing. Would only cost about 10-12 million too compared to Young's 16-18. Thoughts?

Daily mirror reporting that we are looking to sign Adam Barton from Preston, fee rising to 5m. I've never seen him play has anyone else? Ed? {ed's note - I have seen him play, has potential but is not ready for the first team yet.}

Fellow reds,
anyone who thinks or for some reason hopes we will get Martin O'Neil think again!
I don't want him myself, negative and political however some of you clearly think he would be good for us but I can tell you he isn't coming to LFC.
My brother is a senior tutor at a college in the midlands delivering construction skills and training programmes. He has a colleague who is on speaking terms with MON and phoned him while my brother was there and asked him straight out was he coming to us and he said no!
believe me or don't but this is absolutely true!
for the Ed who isn't keen either rest easy mate it aint happening.
Joycie {ed's note - I have said on a thousand occasions it isn't happening, he was never in the running.}

"you are just saying this to get us going because the good strikers are not for sale ie aguero who i think you are trying to reference, higuain, milito are definitely not for sale and tevez not even and option if it is a argintinian striker other than them than then it is a waste of money."

like i said not worth having, 27 goals in 109 games in in the serie a that is not good, i would prefer pato who has 36 goals on 77 games and he is only 21, 4 years younger. Remember this is liverpool.

I have been busy this month (travelling all over the country). But i want to have my input in Hodgson "rumors". He will only be sacked if he goes on a bad streak. Which means, if we lose/ play like we played against wolves then he is definitely out before Man U game. BUT if he wins it then HE WONT. AGAIN 110% won't get sacked. Anyway just have faith guys. .

Sanchez are the right sort of players to go after. If nesv are serious we should be targeting players like him and hazard. {ed's note - Sanchez and Nani can both play off a striker as well, they don't have to pick one or the other, they could play all of them.}

Like

Valenica- - -Sanchez- - -Nani

- - - - - - - Rooney- - - - -

If that happens we're a million miles of them. Amazing that we've both lost star players but they still have a strong team. Damm saf works wonders. Oh and Nani does not play of the striker. I have watched manure a lot and Nani never plays there. Amazing that we're the team that needs investing yet other teams who are better then us are investing more i.e city. Or maybe I'm just a little jealous. {ed's note - he can play off a striker, he has played on the wings out of necessity rather than desire.}

RE- MACCA
no offence to u mate but most people know about ole frank off pitch activities, so stating that as a point of defence doesn't mean any thing really, and then to say the next manager could be kenny but dnt shoot the messenger is like me saying i've heard that ronaldo has signed but dnt shoot the messenger, do u see what i mean m8? ive got 2 say a few things you have said have been close to the truth but then some would say that a broken watch is correct twice a day, i wouldn't think that 99% of the people on here have any contacts at the club what so ever, and of the 1% left over know the cleaner or something, if you have a source then that's great and i hope what you post does happen, but like i said a broken watch is correct twice a day. . .please don't take offence at the above as it isn't meant!
scouse brown {ed's note - you are forgetting that he didn't say Kenny was going to be manager, he said he didn't know but it could be Kenny.}
if you read my post again ed i said that he said it COULD be kenny, i never said that he said it WOULD be kenny!
scouse brown {ed's note - my point is that you were slagging him for giving an opinion about something, which is unfair when your post was about whether he knows something or not.}

We are going to sign three players this january my source is someone who prints the newspapers and has good contacts at the club:

we are rumoured fr a winger midfielder and a striker also expect a couple of exits.
Roy will stay as manager but not for much longer the next time he loses 2 or three games on the trott he will be sacked even if he loses one and then draws .

the likely winger is elia or ashley young
the forward is probably honda due to forwards being pricey at this time expect a good forward in the summer such as suarez.the midfielder is most likely yann m'vila

I know Sanchez wants a move to united but I don't see United paying 20 million + for him anymore. Why would they need a winger, they have Nani and Valencia, with obertan and park as back up. I would love Sanchez here. He might come if we try hard enough and quickly enough but realistically I doubt it. {ed's note - I would love Sanchez, but I can't see it, he is a United fan and Obertan is not impressing.}

True Obertan is not good enough but I don't see them splashing 20 million when they have two top wingers in Valencia and Nani. I doubt one would be happy playing back up nor do u united have the cash to buy a winger they don't need. The belt has been tightened at united. They badly need a creative center midfielder instead.

Sanchez are the right sort of players to go after. If nesv are serious we should be targeting players like him and hazard. {ed's note - Sanchez and Nani can both play off a striker as well, they don't have to pick one or the other, they could play all of them.}

What about baines for left back


Kyle Walker is an up and coming left back currently on loan at QPR from Spurs, before he joined Spurs he was at Sheff Utd, this lad has the potential to be world class serious.

He is as fast as Bale and has all the tricks in his locker, very good at going forward and he can defend all day long. If NESV are true to there word then this lad should not be over looked.

Completely agree, Walker will be a very good left back, we should buy him.

Big news on the transfer front, Liverpool is in advanced negotiations to bring Alexis Sanchez to Anfield. Marek Hamsík is also being targeted too but no formal bid has been made as of yet. The idea behind Hamsík is to provide competition and cover for Gerrard.

An Argentine striker has been signed pending formalities, since the players current club would prefer to release the player at the end of the season rather than in January.

Liverpool fans prepare to be shocked as NESV are going to be spending HUGE money in this window.

Okay man what is your source and where did you get this from. Im my opinion i think this is bull but i would cry if it were true! !. what do you think mr editor? {ed's note - I believe Sanchez is set for United next season, he has ruled out a January move himself, I think the rest is just as accurate as that.......}

My mate works for the agency that manages Honda, it is SEG from Holland. He has indicated that Honda wants to join a EPL club in January. His wages he wants is only 30k a week and the media/ shirt sales in ASIA should help standard chartered aswell.

The only way we will look to get him is if J Cole is moved on!

All I've heard for the last two days is Macca is s* t and he's got something wrong. I reckon everybody giving him abuse should back off. E.g. If you had asked me the day after tevez handed in his transfer request I would tell you he wants to leave. The point I'm making is that people can change their mind and you can't expect Macca to predict John henry's changes of mind. There are only a few ppl on this website with legit sources and are brave enough to stamp their post with their name. Keep up the good work Macca and sharkey.

Hey Ed, ive just read a piece suggesting we might make a suprise bid for Nicklas Bendtner in this window. Have we been linked with him before and what are your thoughts on him? Ive thought on it before and I reckon he's better than most people think or perhaps his record shows. Be interested in what everyone thinks actually.

P.s Woy! if your staying, please go shopping and bring back a striker, at least one winger and a world class midfield engine or don't come back at all. . . {ed's note - he is awful in 9 matches then brilliant for one. I have heard of no interest in him other than paper talk, but you never know.}

Hodgson has given up on honda because of asian cup which means he won't be avalible to end of Feb and now has turned his attention to ashley young and dan sturridge

=======================================

If Roy makes a decision like that he does not have the long term view for the club. You don't buy a player and expect them to immediately perform at the highest level. Even if he came in today, it will be March or April before he starts to contribute. It would be a shame to lose a quality player because of one month. Secondly, they have known all along that he would not be available.

Roy will be giving all the support needed, so the owner can show they ment what they said , when they talked about getting behind all parts of the club(like the good old days)and that includes the manager. Liverpool would have to finish 5th as a matter of principle for Roy to keep his job. Yes, it not champions league football , but the people at the TOP understand that investment in playing staff is needed. Poulson & konchey were brought in for numbers, looking back know, hodgson would had preferred to have gone short. If , as I (we) suspect and hodgson finishes lower then 5th, the outstanding candidate would be Martin one

PS I have loads of time on my hands. . {ed's note - I have no way of contacting you to talk it over mate. You need to leave an email address when you post to identify yourself.}

If you want to become an ed you need to earn the chance by putting good quality posts out daily. If they are looking for ed's they will just look to see whose the best poster. I'd imagine the ed's are looking for people with sources. I'm out of the running ha .

Lfc_ynwa {ed's note - sources are a plus, but they aren't essential as we do have a way of speaking between us editors to pass on info. Also you can always get sources from doing the site, it is much easier to get people to talk to you (especially agents) when they find out you are representing a site with a decent amount of hits than it is if you are just Joe Bloggs.}

Right guys, im a amid Liverpool fan as im sure everyone is reading this site. I would just like to say, well done to the lads on monday. The spirit shown against Bolton was fantastic, you could see that the Torres's and the Gerrards and the Maxi's were genuinely happy when we got the three points. First time this year ive seen our team play for our manager, asa fan id like to see us get behind Roy and not be boo'ing him or chanting "hodgson for england" that isn't what liverpool is all about, we are a team, we are going through a period of change and we really need to get behind our man. We arent like all the other clubs who would jump to the band wagon and slate the team or manager, we are liverpool football club and we are meant to have the best support not just in england but in Europe. Ill be honest with you all, i don't rate him and don't think he will bring back glory days to the club but chanting and jerring will not get us anywhere. Lets not cry over spilt milk, its a game of football it obviously means alot to us all but please lets get behind the team. I have a feeling either Van Gaal or O'Neil will take the job in the summer, i know as much as you do but my gut feeling says this. Dont be suprised if you see Babel go on loan to West Ham till the summer and we may bring in Elia and Darren Bent for fire power.

19 year old jamie ness looked decent for rangers today. maybe getting hiim along with barry bannan and marc aldrighton would be good deals for the future. what you think ed {ed's note - I haven't seen the old firm match yet, but we already have Rangers brightest youth prospect in Wilson. I am not convinced by Bannan or Albrighton personally, neither offer any more than the young players we already have, in my opinion.}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I can't agree with you with Albrighton. He's been brilliantly this season. He's better then anyone we have in our youngsters who play that position. I would love us to sign him but would cost 18 million+. He will be world class soon. {ed's note - he is a headless chicken, he needs a lot of coaching before he will be anywhere near world class.}


ed it seems to me you are well to picky. we are not able to get superstars. the likes off ashley young and gary cahill and then 1 or 2 more youngsters like albrighton would be good signings. we are not gonna challenge for the title but if we get these type off players they will help us improve {ed's note - I would rather develop our own youngsters than buy somebody else's. We only need to add two or three quality players and give a few of our own youngsters more chances, rather than buying 10 squad players.}

Ed I mentioned Suarez and Llorente earlier because I would be delighted with either but I would be ecstatic with both. Both exciting and massively talented forwards in different styles with El Nino would make the worlds best front three. You said you didn't think that Suarez was on but I thought it was a serious possibility? And if we haven't been linked with Llorente then we seriously should be! Anyone agree that these two would be dream signings? Preferably with Hiddink to manage them! (unlikely)

Roy has been given 1 week, the away matches at Blackburn and the FA Cup game vs Man Utd to save his job, two wins and he stays for now, anything less - and he is out! The FA Cup is the only domestic competition we have a chance to win, and NESV want silverware! He also needs to prove he can win matches away from Anfield! Kenny Dalglish will take over until the end of the season, and at the end of the season will be given a position on the Liverpool board! John W Henry and Tom Werner want Dalglish as a short term solution, to appease the fans and also instill some confidence in the players - the owners are prepared to spend in January, but only on the right players. At the end of the season, several managers have been sounded out about the job. None of the managers considered before Hodgson's appointment are on the list. The owners have four men in mind - Didier Deschamps, Owen Coyle, Jurgen Klopp and Andre Villas Boas.

Kenny Dalglish will be appointed caretaker manager until the end of the season. Phil Thompson is being granted a 6 month sabbatical from Sky. He will be coming back as interim no.2. The search for a new manager is ongoing, and will appointed in summer. NESV will not rush into this, as it is a very important decision and they want the right 'trophy winning pedigree' manager. Kenny will have a more expansive role in the club from this summer.

NESV were very concerned that the stadium was only 35,000 yesterday, as normally Anfield is sold out. They wish to restore pride back to the club, which under Roy Hodgson has been damaged under his reign. In fairness, Roy was a dead man walking since NESV took over.

Roy will be gone in matter of days, along with Sammy Lee. He may even last until Blackburn game.

Expect developments to happen very quickly.

Also expect 3 new signings from the following:

Gervinho
Marveaux (done deal)
Oxlane-Chamberlain
Hoarau
Van Wolfswinkel
Honda

There is also strong info that NESV want to make one Marquee signing to show a statement of intent, negotiations are ongoing with the target, however moving in January maybe tricky. This will probably be agreed in Summer, with the new manager, comolli & the board all agreeing to it. Expect around £20-30m to be spent on this player.

Also expect 2-3 players to go out on loan for the second half of the season. NESV want a some of the high earning deadwoods off the books, along with the over swelling academy. Expect as many as up to 20 players either sold or released this summer.

Info from both an agent & ex-player associated with LFC who can't be named for obvious reasons. Very reliable source.

Also, Macca is pretty much spot on with his quotes.

This coming week is a big one for LFC.

I know thletic Bilboa have about 2 top players in Javi Martinez and Fernando llorente but they also have an extremely fast winger called susaeta and a top class defender in Fernando Amorebieta whom we were linked with during Rafa's reign. Susaeta could be the answer to our wing problems and with loads of ability could be a steal. i just want to know have you seen these players before and if you have what do you make of them? {ed's note - I always watch the Spanish football on Sky, I like both from what I have seen. But I haven't taken much notice of them in terms of how old they are etc, I always fast forward the build ups and half times as I plus them and watch during the week. But they would have to be available as Bilbao are desperate for money.}

My source, who works at melwood, has been telling me since the newcastle game that sammy lees position is in doubt.by that i mean he is having less of an input into training and less interactive with the players around the place. i also read rumours that roy is about to sack sammy to take off some of the pressure on himself. pelligrinny is highly thought of by the players and roy, so too with rafa, he could be next ass. manager. just said i would tell ye all of this rumour which i have been hearing and is gathering pace.

RE- MACCA
no offence to u mate but most people know about ole frank off pitch activities, so stating that as a point of defence doesn't mean any thing really, and then to say the next manager could be kenny but dnt shoot the messenger is like me saying i've heard that ronaldo has signed but dnt shoot the messenger, do u see what i mean m8? ive got 2 say a few things you have said have been close to the truth but then some would say that a broken watch is correct twice a day, i wouldn't think that 99% of the people on here have any contacts at the club what so ever, and of the 1% left over know the cleaner or something, if you have a source then that's great and i hope what you post does happen, but like i said a broken watch is correct twice a day. . .please don't take offence at the above as it isn't meant!

I am not convinced by Bannan or Albrighton personally, neither offer any more than the young players we already have, in my opinion.}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I can't agree with you with Albrighton. He's been brilliantly this season. He's better then anyone we have in our youngsters who play that position. I would love us to sign him but would cost 18 million+. He will be world class soon. {ed's note - he is a headless chicken, he needs a lot of coaching before he will be anywhere near world class.}

thnks {ed's note - editors are just here to edit the posts, they don't have to have sources, some don't. But we have a widget to communicate on so that questions can be asked and info shared if needed. Becoming an editor is just about showing you have the right temperament with your posts - you get a lot of abuse and have to see the same question 50 or 60 times a day without screaming or breaking down in tears and do it all for free! I am not sure about Marveaux or Hoarau, unfortunately the editor who is in the know regarding French football has selfishly taken a holiday over the Christmas and New Year period and I haven't spoken to him much to ask as we are in different time zones.}

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim have parted company with coach Ralf Rangnick, with Marco Pezzaiuoli promoted from the role of assistant to take his place.

Rangnick, 52, leaves Hoffenheim in eighth place in the Bundesliga following a remarkable journey together since his appointment in 2006, when the club were still in the third division. Just over two years later, Hoffenheim won promotion to the Bundesliga and they actually led the table midway through their first season among Germany's elite.

"The club's amazing success in getting to the Bundesliga will forever be linked with Ralf Rangnick, but after the project of reaching the Bundesliga was already achieved after two years, it is reasonable that Ralf Rangnick is seeking challenges of a bigger dimension, " said the club's benefactor, Dietmar Hopp, when announcing that Rangnick had departed by mutual consent. The news came 24 hours after confirmation of defender Luiz Gustavo's sale to FC Bayern München.

Ed? do you think there's a good chance that this guy is our new manager? {ed's note - if he is I would suggest it is a spur of the moment choice because he is available, rather than a conscious 'we want him' decision.}

HAPPY NEW YEAR ED AND FELLOW KOPITES,

not been on here for a while but two points i wanted to address:

1st - HODGSON,

Any regular on here will remember that I (PETE NUNN) as early as October was calling for Hodgsons head. Somebody who joins LFC and says "I Hope this doesn't wuin my welationship with Sir Alex. ." can not be trusted at our great club!

Glad that everyone has realised that LFC is out of his depth and the way he gets so irritated at people questioning his "coaching abilities" - well that might have sumit to do with the fact that in 35 years you have learnt nothing - proven by the fact that u signed Konchesky and Poulsen and start with useless Ngog most weeks. . .

RANT OVER. . POINT 2 :


2) NEW MANAGER -

The owners made a very shrewd and clever comment early in their tenure which was "we have done a lot of listening- to the fans". . this shows us that they want the fans on their side esp after the bitter H+G regime.

Hodgson was never their signing and they didn't want to rock an already unstable boat when they tookover by replacing Roy- however now they are "LISTENING TO THE FANS". .

they have shortlisted 3 managers for the Summer, and Roy will be GONE after the FA Cup 3rd round game at the v latest!

3rd round exit to Northampton League cup,
Home losses to Blackpool and Wolves,
Losing to Stoke, Everton, Newcastle

the damage is already done! even a win vs Mancs won't save him!

so who is the new likely boss :?

Well its not Rafa. .


Rjikaard is one in contention
Jurgen Klopp - of Borussia Dortmund - only 43 and very charismatic (although ugly)
the 3rd I can not get info on. . so guesses anyone?


Main Point is - Hodgson , even if he is here for majoirty of transfer window period - will have ZERO INPUT into the purchases or sales. He was seen as wasteful and pathetic in Summer when he sent Babel on a pointless trip and then wanted Carlton Cole but came back with Poulsen and Konchesky!


Targets - ONE 20MILL SIGNING! The New Owners feel they want to restore some pride amongst the fans

Aguero?
Llorente?
Suarez?

Lets see - I would rather Aguero every day of the week. 23, World class, small quick and strong and would be perfect partner for El Nino

Not sure but will keep u posted. .

Sorry do you have a name? Also if you had any connections with the club you would know that up until last week Roy was staying till the end of the season.

Now with the fans reaction after the Wolves game the board look like they have made a dramatic u turn.

Lets see if he goes next week then we will see who has the correct information.

Maybe you can find something out from your so called source, i very much doubt it.

Massive news, Jose Mourinho stated his preference was the Liverpool position before he joined Chelsea stating it was more of a challenge that he'd enjoy. Jose Mourniho was in John Lennon Airport last night and everywhere was blocked off by security. He will be installed as manager in the summer, as he's not happy at Real Madrid. Everbodys putting all there money on him to be the next manager, be quick before they change the odds. Cant wait!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hilarious!
I take it your Mourinho's PA. There is absolutely no truth in you comments.
By the way, when Mourinho returns to England then Manchester United is his preferd choice. The only way he would ever even consider Liverpool would be a garuantee of a significant transfer fund plus full final management say on team affairs and transfers. Now NESV have already stated that we will spend wisely not massively. Commali (spelling) is the scout/ transfer guy. This all indicates the Mourinho isn't the man. Now I know security at the airport and nobody has mentioned anything to me so although I like your optimism unfortunately your words have no credit.

New financial fair play rule in football will end an era of high spending managers. The clubs that will flourish will be the ones with good scouting teams that can get value for money. That's where Comolli comes in. .

The main reason why Hodgson and Comolli were at the DW today was to cast a watchful eye over Maynor Figueroa who unfortunately for them hasn't long come back from injury as was an unused sub.

However, no doubt other players were being watched such as Tiote and Luis Enrique although Newcastle will not be selling in January.

I personally hope we don't sign him, he only plays well when he wants to leave a club and he has a poor attitude. Anyway he is likely to join Sunderland.}

Thanks ed do you know of any reason why roy is there? {ed's note - Comolli is watching Tiote, I believe, Roy must be taking a look at him too.}"

Macca from being sure from 31st of dec that Hodgson won't go till summer to 2nd of jan youve been told hes going b4 the man u game. . christ youve got some good contacts? then from being told to being sure? bit of backtrackin?

I spoke to someone yesterday and he told me he was pretty sure that he will be gone.

I think it is a shock because up until yesterday people where confident he would stay till the end of season.

Macca

So I presume the only reason he was at the Wigan game with Camolli. was Camolli was sayin to him come next week your gonna end up managing something like these. A chit team with over expectant supporters. .NO CHANGE THERE THEN?

I think the most interesting thing about yesterday wasn't the performance. Which granted was a vast improvement on mid week. but still i feel some way off where we need to be. Or the return to form of some of our bigger names. But the 35000 crowd. that's our lowest attendance for yrs. To me that's fans voting with their feet and more importantly their wallets. NESV have so far behaved impecibly but they will not tolerate a fall in attendance they are afterall businessmen. It would be an interesting exercise to see how many fans stayed away because of Roys comments and/ or team performance. I firmly believe this situation will be addressed in the near future and a planned way forward put into place. Whether that's a change in management at the moment i wouldn't like to say but i feel at least a pr boost in the name of a signing of some significance or a large pr exercise is on the horizon. any thoughts folks

I have read somewhere that Liverpool may be ready to offer £6 million for Ronaldinho in the transfer market. do you think the is any truth in this.

also i don't know why so many people think that Lucas should be sold in this transfer window. i think that he has played his best season yet and he is the perfect partner for Joe Cole and Steven Gerrard
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Lucas is useless, everything he does is poor. Did you not see the sitter he missed in the Bolton game? His through balls are rubbish, nearly half his tackles are fouls, and he is pushed off the ball too much. He is not the standard of player Liverpool deserve.

Ed's! Not a rumour but a simple theory from things I have heard. We know there are alot of rumours floating around about Honda joining us, yet there has been nothing concrete from the club. However Hodgson talked about deals being done late in Jan, Honda is involved in the Asia cup ATM and presuming Japan reach the later stages, the final being 29th a deal would have to be done toward the end of the month. Do you think it is sensible for us to view Honda as a very real possibility? {ed's note - it is still a very real possibility, yes.}

For the last time let me put all your minds to rest. I can confirm that Roy and Commoli are scouting Rodeaga, I know that sounds ridiculus but it is the truth, they believe he has the potential to be great and pundits seem to have that same opinion, Alen Hansen, Phil Thompson and Matt La tissier. Someone earlier wrote that a bid would be created in two weeks that is nonsense they are simply drawing up a list of back ups to preferred targets, i assure you. Also they are having a quick look at routledge for his shear pace, that sounds fake but true. Just to add my opinion i think we should buy llorente, expensive but would be a great partner with torres- arial threat, strength and a paocher combined with torees- fast, skillful, vision and trickery what do you think Ed?? and commentees??

Also as GoodKopBadKop stated, with free signings comes a signing on fee and inflated wages; the player knows this as well and may consider waiting to the summer (McMannaman could've joined Barcelona for £12m the year before he left but stayed with us until he was a free agent and joined Real Madrid).

The Barca deal fell through orther wise he would have left nothing to do with leaving for free.

More a theory than rumour. Hodgson to stay on, with touchline/ press conference input only. Someone else, possibly King Kenny pulling the strings whilst we look for a replacement. It evidently was not a Hodgson picked team, nor did the players drag their feet. It was a fresh attitude and different style of play; one that got results. King kennys plea before the match made me suspicious, would not surprise me if this is now the case. Roy gets to stay, someone else gets us to play (kk?) without building a difficult situation for the next long term replacement. Win, win. .

Why don't we go for neymar and zezinho? would be a big outlay but they young and talented inline with nesv transfer policy. nesv said they would definately splash the cash if the players was right and young enough.



because young south americans tend to struggle in the EPL they also struggle with the english way of life, they tend to flop (robinho) or get home sick masherano and tevez being good examples. also many players from south america that come with huge reputations and price tags tend to be fairly average ( anderson at united or veron) we can not afford expensive mistakes anymore) do you agree ed?

"Why don't we go for neymar and zezinho?"

I'm trying not to be too cynical here but have you ever seen these players play? Or did you just load up fm 2011 and look for the two most promising Brazilian left wingers?

Liverpool won't spend big on young players with no prem/ top level experience. Especially not in january.

I know this isn't a popular one because of his attitude but I'd be surprised if we aren't looking at Adebayour. he's experienced, technically good and fits the profile of the kind of striker Roy wants to partner Torres (Big, good in the air). City won't sell to their rivals but (it really pains me to say this) they probably don't see us as rivals any more.

Jose Mourniho was in John Lennon Airport last night and everywhere was blocked off by security. He will be installed as manager in the summer, as he's not happy at Real Madrid. Everbodys putting all there money on him to be the next manager, be quick before they change the odds. Cant wait!

In reply to ed on Sturrige:

Sturridge began his playing career in earnest at local club Aston Villa. He then moved to Coventry City in 2002, from where he joined Manchester City's Academy in 2003, aged 13. A Football League committee later ordered Manchester City to pay Coventry £30,000 compensation, with further payments up to a maximum of £200,000 based upon appearances and international honours.

Aged 13 ed he moves from Coventry to Man City, now im not too sure how the youth system works but wages i couldnt have seen them being great at Man city in 2003 {ed's note - sorry, didn't realise it was Coventry they poached him from, but his family did get a number of 'rewards' for the move.}

players like ashley young, bentley etc, granted they are not world class, but there better than what we have. we are gonna have to rebuild, for the last 12months we are no longer one of the big 4 and arnt gonna attract the top players. that's the reality of it, pay stupid wages or be realistic with the targets.

Jürgen klopp is the borrusia dortmund manager.he is only 42 and 10 points clear at the top of the German league. Would be a very good appointment but not a chance of us getting before the summer and even then getting him to give up CL football for us is a long shot.

In all reality, i think Jose Enrique of Newcastle has been good this season - no doubt he's better than all our left-backs and would be relatively cheap compared to some of the names bandied around on here.

I overheard a conversation at the golf club today. . don't know if its gossip or wishful thinking but apparently Roy IS finished. Commoli wants Deschamps but he won't leave marseille until the summer. NESV have been taking note of fans feelings & are tempted to bring in king kenny to appease fans - Anfield attendance down by 10,000 yesterday.
This chap said that Phil Thommo has been approached to be involved in new set-tup (possibly assistant manager).

If kenny comes in it won't be a temp measure, boot room to re-form. expect Dalglish, Thommo, Lee & Borreli (youth team coach i think? ) to form boot room. Possible roles for Rush & Barnes also.

Blue skies ahead. . hopefully

It states that the manager has two years reamaining on their contract, but, on June 1st there is an opportunity for the manager in question to leave his current post.
The website states that Gerrard has already been notified of Hodgson's upcoming departure and that Kenny is set to become interim manager until 1st of June.

Not sure if this has already been discussed, sorry if it has, but the rumor I am hearing a lot is Ryan Shawcross(? m) and Ashley Young (15m), the Daily Mirror are on to it now as well?
The Honda rumor has died down a lot I think, and wonder how likely that is now?
Torres and Reina are not going anywhere (for now)
Lucas possibly going to Villareal?

I only see Lucas going if we have a suitable replacement ready. I would sell Lucas if it mean we were getting Benega or Defour. Both are better then Lucas imo. We should give Lucas credit though for his performances this season. I would sell Lucas + Poulson to Valencia for Benega.

To E.H LFC,

Not having a pop but at 13:47 you complain about Sylvain Marveaux not coming until the summer then an hour later he's coming in for £1.5m (which would have to be this month as we wouldn't have to pay a fee (unless he signs a new contract and we then buy him))!

His club may think he's more valuable for the last 6 months of his contract than £1.5m and therefore not wish to sell or want more money to sell.

Also as GoodKopBadKop stated, with free signings comes a signing on fee and inflated wages; the player knows this as well and may consider waiting to the summer (McMannaman could've joined Barcelona for £12m the year before he left but stayed with us until he was a free agent and joined Real Madrid).

There are rumors that liverpool are after the German coach who has just resigned. His name has slipped my mind. Rumors also say that King Kenny has been called back from Dubai. So really no one knows. {ed's note - Ralf Rangnick(sp?) you mean.}

Yeah that's the one. There just the couple rumors that's been heard on twitter. I personally don't believe them. I think nesv are trying not to sack Roy until the summer. Only do it if we are in awful shape. I do think Rangnick is a good choice though, plays good football, plays and knows how to develop youngsters, plays attacking football and can build a club.

According to the lfc website, instead of buying that french winger marveaux who we are so close to purchasing for a measly 1.5m, we are prepared to offer him a pre-contract and wait till summer to have him on our team. How cheap can u get? Its 1.5m for god sake and we desperatley need a left winger now not later. NESV have many millions and can see we are struggling for creativity so they must understand they need to spend well.
Hopefully this is just a rumour and we will finalise and deal to bring him here in the next week.

E.H LFC
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Highly unlikely he will come on a Bosman. Such deals rely on higher signing on fees as well as overinflated weekly wages, you just need to look at Cole and Jovanovic to realise that.

If Marveaux is coming, this will definately happen in the Jan window, as NESV have already intendified the clubs annual wage bill as a problem that needs urgent attention.

Can you guys just shut up about konchesky?

The guy has done nothing wrong against the supporters or against the club. . Ok he isn't top class , but he is trying and if you were in his shoes and you knew you wouldn't cut it but had the opportunity to join a club like liverpool , why not take that chance , its the manager's decision whether he picks konchesky or not. but we should support him

And about his mother. . Dont we all have mothers who think they know best for their son / daughter and do things or say things we don't agree to? konchesky and his mom are 2 seperate persons , don't blame paul for the mistakes his mom made, , , ,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
His mother knew full well what she was doing, especially posting on a social network site for all to see! and he is a very poor footballer, should never wear the colours of Liverpool. Liverpool have had better players than Konchesky, who received more abuse. And with the word 'mom' I am guessing your not from the city who she branded as scum! {ed's note - actually I think we should clear this up once and for all, it was not her who used the words 'scouse scum', it was one of her hangers on posting on her status.}

We have not signed either Elia or Wolfswinkel. We have only made contact with their clubs about a potential deal. I do worry about the Wolfswinkel rumours as he's scored an average amount of goals for the standard of the eredivise, also that he is currently injured.

The Marveuax deal is in the latter stages of the deal and should hopefully sign on the 5th for £1.5 million.

As for other deals, there has been contact with Honda's agent and CSKA about a potential deal, although Honda is busy away in Qatar his agent is trying to organise a good deal for him to join, but we are not alone in the hunt for him as various German and English teams are also interested.

We have also made contact with Wolves for Matt Jarvis, who has particularly impressed this season for a deal thought to be around £5.5 million.

Other potential recruits are Chris Samba, Adel taarbat and Hoarau all of which are thought to be in high contention for moves.

XKX

Jarvis won't be leaving in January and only in the summer will he leave if Wolves are relegated. Mick McCarthy has come out and said this a week or two ago.

"Ed do you think, comolli was brought in with the thinking of a short term solution, meaning roy is not trusted with transfer targets, nesv don't seem the type to lose money on poor signings and will know only to well the history of the last few years in the transfer market.take the signings of konchesky and poulsen as an example. that being said, was it easier to find, and appoint a director of football, to make these decesions for the short term, adding young sensible, transfers untill the right manager can be found in the summer, where comolli's role will reduce down to just finding talent and putting lists of players forward to the new manager? {ed's note - no, I think Comolli has sold himself to them as the long term future guiding hand for the club's football side.}"

In US sports, it is usual to have a personnel manager (often called "general manager") who is in charge of scouting and signing players based on the manager's/ coach's criteria. This is because good coaches are often not great at evaluating players (that was one of the problems with our last two managers). My guess is that NESV would want someone like Comolli regardless of who they had as coach. When you think about it, this makes sense as most successful large businesses would have specialists in charge of recruitment. Why should football be any different? I'm sure most football managers/ coaches would disagree but they would, wouldn't they?

Ed, so you say Per Mertesacker is too slow for the Premiership then? So would you go back in time (if you could) and thwart the signing of Hyypia then? He was hardly Usain Bolt! Mertesacker would be an improvement on Kyrgiakos and also the not-so-quick Carragher. It isn't all about pace, he has a good footballing brain and is a threat at set pieces.

I keep reading about 'swap' deals or players included in swaps. There is a reason these rarely happen (Football Manager 2011 aside). Players get a % of the fee they move for when they move.

Ronaldinho for £7m? Come on Comolli! If worst comes to worst and he flops we will easily recoup that, not to mention the merchandise we can sell prior to the flop!

Michael Duvall {ed's note - Mertesacker is not half the player Hyypia is now, let alone back then. His reading of the game is poor, he is slow and weak, his technique is not good enough either.}

Marveux will be used as a left back. konchesky will ask for a transfer due to fans reaction to his below par performances and comments made from his mother. auralio when fit is a good and decent left back, but has not had a run of more than ten games since he joined and for that reason can not be relied upon.
elia is being looked at but the price is yet to be agreed. but is seen as a cheaper option than ashley young.
m'villa would be a great addition to the squad and would offer all the quailities that masherano gave the first team. but interest from real madrid could prove to be the undoing of this potential deal, so comolli is acting fast to try and make this happpen.
a forward is obviously needed, but is extremelly difficult to find value for money, any good forward will be at a good club possibly playing in the champions league and no club would wish to weaken there squads with the knockout phase due to start soon. wolfswinkle is being looked at, but offers little more than ngog. it is hoped that honda will fill the viod of the second forward untill the summer, however the honda deal seems to have stalled.
finally hodgson will be given till mid feb, he will be given time with new signings in the squad, however if like yesterday crowd levels continue to drop, action maybe have to be taken before.

. . Liverpool are leading the race for Werder Bremen's World Cup star Per Mertesacker.

Mertesacker, the 26 year-old centre-back, is now on the Kop radar after director of football Damien Comolli made a personal check on him before Christmas. Bremen are prepared to sell the 26-year-old following their exit from the Champions League - but have told any interested clubs that the bidding will start at £10million.

Comolli watched Mertesacker in action as Werder suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Kaiserslautern on December 18 in their final Bundesliga game before the German winter break.

He recommended Liverpool should make a move for the Germany international.


But Liverpool are also keen to balance their books by shipping out a central defender to make way for the highly-rated German. They will look to cash in on Daniel Agger before they make a move for Mertesacker.

Agger is being touted around Europe after being told he can leave Anfield following his fall from grace under manager Roy Hodgson.

Mertesacker had an outstanding World Cup as Germany knocked out England before losing to ­eventual champions Spain in the semi-finals.

And he fits the player profile Comolli gave new ­Liverpool owners New England Sports Ventures when they decided to appoint him following their takeover in October.

At 26, Mertesacker is yet to enjoy the peak years of his career and would maintain his market value. He's been with Bremen since moving from hometown club Hannover 96 in a £3million deal in 2006. Arsenal, who have also been scouring Europe for a centre-back and have checked out Mertesacker, are also once again monitoring the availability of Bolton centre-back Gary Cahill.

Bolton refused to listen to Arsenal's overtures for the England star last summer, but if there's any softening in Bolton's positioning then the Gunners will pounce.

{Editor's Note: Think of Liverpool as more than 11 players - all should be good enough to play as and when required without the fans complaining.}

that is a target of NESV's and they will fund "top signings" in the summer. Cissokho, hazard, m'vila are targets for the summer (i am not saying they will sign). As for january gary cahill is being considered, he proved a tough tackler yesterday and he would seriously bolster our defence. right winger is a small time target for january but t is not priority, left-wing marveux or elia who comolli is a huge fan. Striker will 99% join this january and one in the summer. Honda is attracting alot of interest and we are trying to construct a deal, if this does not happen other targets will be considered in the summer. possibly gourcuff (not saying definity). if we cannot add cahilll 3.5million approach for mexes. Matt jarvis will only go as high as 7million in comollis books. This is all i have.

Asked if he had the owners support hodgson answered " I guess so it is not about me " no it is about the next manager they have lined up and they have clearly told him about it. He's going soon it's clear but good luck til you leave! Seems like such a nice man just couldn't resist the job.

I understand that Dalglish is a legend, and would happily welcome him into our managerial position, and i understand Thompson is on course to be his assistant.
Just wondering ed, after a while out of the game, although always there watching, do you think these two will have all the abilities required, i.e, modern tactics, press, man management, what do you think ed?
Im a little worried that after a few years out of management for both, knowledge of market and so on may be a little low, or am I just being pessimistic? {ed's note - I have never been convinced Thommo has the right type of personality to be a success, he is far too abrasive for modern day football. He is too much of a fan, I believe.}

And we should really break the bank for Albrighton of Villa - best crosser in EPL and already better than Ashley Young. Get him now! ! Give Houllier Babel and he will go for it! He is a tw@t.

Why no RW linked, surely everyone can see that Kuyt is not what we need out there. For me, Marko Reus of Borr Moench is a wonderful player and what we need. Any takers? And seriously, would take Jarvis over any player mentioned for LW. He is a LFC type player - which is already 90% chance of success. We will regret paying 15m for another Babel. .

Ed do you think, comolli was brought in with the thinking of a short term solution, meaning roy is not trusted with transfer targets, nesv don't seem the type to lose money on poor signings and will know only to well the history of the last few years in the transfer market.take the signings of konchesky and poulsen as an example. that being said, was it easier to find, and appoint a director of football, to make these decesions for the short term, adding young sensible, transfers untill the right manager can be found in the summer, where comolli's role will reduce down to just finding talent and putting lists of players forward to the new manager? {ed's note - no, I think Comolli has sold himself to them as the long term future guiding hand for the club's football side.}

A belated happy new year to all.
Hey Ed, remember when I posted that Tommo was joking about a world class signing in Jan and I said he was referring to himself ?
Still could be !
Also I read on BBC Sport website that Steven Warnock may be leaving Villa. I'd bring him back to Anfield. Anyone else agree ?

Right I'm trying to look at this from a neutral's point of view (but I'm not) to see what others think. . (please read all of the post)

In Defence of Roy:

Brought in to steady ship.

Brought in with the knowledge that the current owners didn't want to spend/ lose any more money. Therefore with the new home grown rules he had to choose transfer targets carefully.

Team under performed last year.

Team hasn't had any extra funds provided to it apart from player sales for 2 seasons (Alonso, Arebola etc. out - Johnson & Aquilani In); (Masch, Reira, etc. Out Meireles + trout in (sorry couldn't help myself then;o) ).

So from the above to me he's not had it easy however. .

Current Concerns with Roy:

Good comment from him about Owen Coyne "He's getting the most out of his players who he inherieted"; Roy's clearly not doing this.

Speaks before thinking or in the Rednose comments about Torres doesn't seak at all.

Transfers; brought in below par replacements to current squad (Meireles excluded), we don't need 8 home grown players we only needed to have no more than 17 foreign players over 21 (See Chelsea who only have 4 home grown players over 21 in their squad).

Let Insua go (tbf he had a shocker last year but he's young and needed to be pulled out of the team but couldn't as Aurellio was injured) then spent £5m + 2 yound players with potential to replace with a below par replacement.

Tactics; We play too deep and try to defend with counter attacking football, however when we are playing so deep and got so many people behind the ball it doesn't work.

Also some substitutions are mind boggling (tbf some of Rafa's were as well) but if the forwards aren't getting the ball I would change a player in midfield rather than bring another striker on whose not going to get the ball (see Wolves).

His treatment of players in the press.

So in summary from me; I do think we need to consider that he's not had the backing that most other Liverpool managers have but I think he's been found out that he's an average Manager, not his fault but IMO not good enough for Liverpool.

Hoola

P.S. great to see Agger back, offerered us so much more going forward; great performance from Stevie as well and I hope if were going to get a new striker he's top draw because if he's not i'd rather give Ngog the minutes as IMO his hold up play and skill have improved greatly, goals will come but only if we're more attacking/ press more people forward.

If a matter does need the attention of one Ed in particular it will be left for him or her to deal with. The article you refer to is a blog containing hearsay. I can imagine Mourinho joking about taking the job at Liverpool - he has a really great sense of humour. He won't be joining the club as a coach anytime soon though.}

Hi ed, I've read that per mertesacker is on his way to anfield?source is daily mirror. Great player to take over from carra, what you think? Oh yeah old school Michael Owen to villa? Great site cheers Jodethered. {ed's note - I don't believe that report in the slightest, Mertesacker is not good enough anyway, far too slow for the Prem.}

Hey ed since you know a lot about are club can you tell us who is signing? cause off your sources mate cause i read a lot of junk so can u please tell us which are going to happen which are likely. thanks

{Editor's Note: I have given you the probably signing of Sylvain Marveaux already - so I guess that is one to me. I would like to say Honda as a signing, but I have a feeling that there maybe moves afoot from another EPL side for his signature and a couple of European sides. A striker seems to be on the cards: perhaps Hoarau, perhaps Gervinho, perhaps someone else.}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Its only been 1 full day and people are already asking who we have signed. You must get that so many times a day. I got an idea. Why don't you create a page listing all transfers completed and rumors you've heard. So you don't get asked every 2 minutes.

To the people asking about who we've signed, why don't you ask in 2 weeks time, things will be clearer then.

{Editor's Note: A decent thought but the issue appears to be laziness in reading anything other than a response to their own message.}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I have asked this queston because the editor has sources and because there is alot of junk on this site. Also you say why ask now when only a day gone, sales can be negiotiated between teams before january 1st, they can only be signed and registered during the transfer windows.

DT {ed's note - I think you must be referring to a different editor, I certainly never said anything about Mourinho.}

Well yeah ed, I'm sure this guy was referring to a different editor. It'll be to whichever one made the comment, so how about that ed replying? Not you. We don't know who's 'shift' it is to edit do we!?!?
How do you reply/ make a comment to An Ed then? You could always get the wrong one & get a nothing answer like the above.

{Editor's Note: I had nothing to say on the matter either - and there is no way to reply to a specific Editor.

This is what Pepe said in a newspaper article today

"I am a man of my word and commitment. I will honour my contract with Liverpool".

"Stories of these offers are not true. I have not spoken to anyone - ever - and I am 100 per cent a Liverpool player."

He added: "Since I've been here I've found an incredible passion, more than I thought from Spain. "Liverpool as a club is sacred, it is something special. "Being Liverpool's goalkeeper is a privilege. For now I just want to win trophies for them.

So please stop the stupid rumours about Pepe handing in a transfer request.

We have not signed either Elia or Wolfswinkel. We have only made contact with their clubs about a potential deal. I do worry about the Wolfswinkel rumours as he's scored an average amount of goals for the standard of the eredivise, also that he is currently injured.

The Marveuax deal is in the latter stages of the deal and should hopefully sign on the 5th for £1.5 million.

As for other deals, there has been contact with Honda's agent and CSKA about a potential deal, although Honda is busy away in Qatar his agent is trying to organise a good deal for him to join, but we are not alone in the hunt for him as various German and English teams are also interested.

We have also made contact with Wolves for Matt Jarvis, who has particularly impressed this season for a deal thought to be around £5.5 million.

Other potential recruits are Chris Samba, Adel taarbat and Hoarau all of which are thought to be in high contention for moves.
