If you think kuyt is in the wrong position, when he played there for holland and performed brilliantly.

Roy gone yet lol.

Personally I think Lucas is in the wrong position.

We should go for arteta
him and gerrard in mid would be fab
then with cole on left then i would have johnson on the right

would be a very good midfield
what you think ed {ed's note - not for me, if Arteta was that good he would have at least got in a Spain squad or two by now. He wasn't good enough when they were rubbish though.}

Please people give the bale rumours a rest, im not saying he is a bad player but there is no chance it will happen, we might aswell talk about bidding for essien or fabregas. it will not happen. and to even talk about throwing gerrard in with the deal, even if it was a joke. you should hang your head in shame lol.

on another matter roy was never going to be sacked before the chelski game, so i was'nt to hopeful about the meeting today. i know it won't happen and very few will agree but i would love to see di matteo given a chance. seeing what he has brought to west brom is exactly what i would want at liverpool.

ed do you really think roy is here til christmas

always red {ed's note - it is beginning to look that way, putting together the rest of the staff is taking longer than I thought it would. I thought they would have already had people in mind, but it seems they have had to look for the right people now they are in place.}

Hi , first post, although this is no rumour Ed , when hodgson goes jan or summer what do you think about bringing Roy Evans back with a young and upcoming manager, there's been the gloss of a few trophies won since he left which have distorted things some what, i feel we've just been treading water as a club. we played great attacking football back then with a fresh youthful team with a couple of wise heads players like fowler , mcmamaman redknapp jones flourished under his guidance .we have the youth now, just someone to take advantage of it, what do you think?

YNWA , RED FOREVER , BRITVICKID {ed's note - I would love Roy Evans back at the club, I would be all for that!}

Re commoli, he was outed at arsenal gor being too big for his boots and tried the same thing at spurs, undermining the manager and scouting staff at both clubs! tbh he found a couple of players and lived of the rep, he then went and over ruled scouting reports and got his own players in some were average most wrre poor, he was also poor with money! levy is a very very clever man he gave him enough rope to hang himself! one other thing to note re BALE, did u lot not read this site in the last 24hrs regarding bale? shame on you {ed's note - thanks for that info.}

{ed's note - I can't see it happening, unless they happen to read a history of the club at the same time and see how the Shankly appointment happened. Far too many people seem to think times have changed and that we are too big a club now, personally I just think football is a simple game and that has not changed.}

I've only just got in and checking on today's posts when this this little gem of wisdom fell into my lap. Bless you ed, I thought I was the only one walking in a twilight world where players wore black boots and you were allowed to tackle and the skill element and attacking were the main bedrocks for success. After watching LFC for 49 years and working for them for ten (79-89), I have a theory which I believe in more and more with each days postings I read.
By the age of 18, I had seen 3 Title winning sides but didn't really appreciate what it meant until I reached adulthood. When we won the league in 73 the feeling and implications were awesome. It is now 20 years since our last championship and those who were 18 then would be 38 now, right? I conclude that anyone under the age of 38 doesn't know what it means or feels like to appreciate this achievement and this must account for 50% or more of the present support. Their main memory is the Miracle of Istanbul which is magnificent in its own right but just one chapter in our glorious history. The title is our 'raison d'etre', the be all and end all. LFC never have been and should never be a cup winning Club which is all Houllier and Benitez turned us into. As Shanks said " First is first, second is nothing" so forget about runners up spots and let's get our mind set back to winning titles which we won't do with the the present manager, his tactics and the quality of some of the current players.
I stress 'some' because we are not that far away if you look properly. Stop squeezing square pegs into round holes and play players in their natural positions and replace the underachievers with better ones OR, give youth a chance. We have some of the best prospects in years coming through the ranks, ; give them the chance to express themselves. Joe Cole for example, is right footed. What's he doing struggling on the left wing whilst Kuyt is out for a month. Babel is a right footed striker; play him there for a few games before casting him aside. As you said, ed, its a simple game, so play it simple. There are so many other examples I could site, best of all, people shouting for Kelly at right back.
Kelly's a centre back; play him there and let's scout for a decent right back because Johnson leaves us too exposed, particularly Carra.
Its not rocket science! The Liverpool Way has been lost because it was based on simplicity not convoluted formations.

To this post:

"02 Nov 2010 22:35:14
Break the bank for bale please nesv.Give them gerrard if we have to"

How can you want Bale after what he said about our club and the town? He publicly despises the club and the people. The Kop need to show that big-mouthed ponce what they think of him next time he visits, not ask for him to be signed.

PS- just goes to show- I listened to the radio commentary on Sunday and it sounded like we played OK, but when I saw the game later I thought we played pretty sh*te- Bolton had more and better chances over the whole game, and bossed us aroun the pitch- and it looked to me like we got bloody lucky.
Surely NESV can't be blind to the fact that whatever it is Roy is asking the players to do, it just isn't working? They can't have watched Sunday's iffy game, and think that only one decent performance so far is acceptable (Blackburn), with more than a quarter of the season gone?
They cannot be that stupid, they just cant. And they won't want to miss the chance of a cheap and early payoff in the 30 days. Roy is really nice guy but his methods are just not working, and not defending Torres against Ferguson was just out of order, especially with Nani's antics in the same game?
If I was a gambler, I'd bet 50 quid RH will be gone on Monday, after the Chelsea game, unless we win 5-0.
And maybe even then. Its not LFCs way to sack managers so soon, but NESV are ruthless, and they are only in it to win.

"he (RAFA) was the one who put this squad together, he was the one who upset our best player (alonso) to go all out for barry"

To whoever posted this, the rest of your post talks about people forgetting how bad Rafa was, but you seem to have forgotten Alonso was not so great until his last season, at that same time Barry was at his best . Rafa was always forced to sell in order to buy, in that particular situation he wanted both Alonso and Barry for at least one season together, he was back stabbed by the owners (at first they guaranteed him the money was there for Barry, and when the deal was near done they back tracked and wanted to pay in installments something that Villa rejected straight away).
It would have been good business to make near enough 10->15m profit on alonso and buy Barry for an estimated 8m . I know its not about money, but Rafa under the americans had to sell so he can buy.

What did ssn say hinting that Roy is gona be sacked?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
They didn't that was just MANC trying to get my hopes up.

I just read an article on Click Liverpool.com (very reliable) They say that 2 of our main targets are Hernadez and Hazard. Here's the worrying part they also say that "Roy has SWP and Ashley Young watched as back ups should they fail to get either target" And another player being watched is Vunovic a striker from Roma i think?

Click Liverpool is the site that had the RBS refusing the Mill finance proposal story 2-3 hours before BBC, Sky, SSN and anyone else.

I hope it's not true that Roy is scouting players but for me Click are one of he more reliable sites. Which looks like RED LENIN was right and Roy is indeed staying to at least Xmas

{ed's note - apart from Roy Evans, I have not enjoyed watching us play since Kenny's days in charge, not one has got us playing football of the kind of quality we deserve.}

Ed: You don't think we played good exciting football a couple of years ago? ok maybe not for the whole season but big part of it, it was good football against united , madrid , villa , newcastle (?)
even the cl semi against chelsea, the 1/ 4s against Arsenal both games were great . hell even the home(or was it away ) game against Arsenal 4-4

Roy {ed's note - yes, but it was after we had thrown away the league, I was so disappointed that it was an anticlimax I guess.}

"{ed's note - as far as I am aware Torres is not thinking about leaving, he is just trying to get his game back together right now.}"

I believe this to be true. He is waiting to see how things develop (and he's not alone) and in the meantime concentrating on finding his form. If he goes it will not be until the summer at the earliest and would only be if the future direction of the club does not meet his expectations and what he has been led to believe.

As for Roy going, it looks like Liverbird, me, oand at least one of th Eds was correct. He's here til Xmas at least.

Sean o driscoll is 53 years old, for anyone who says hes young, good manager but i think its a bit of a gamble, and i don't think he wil be considres. .sorry ed {ed's note - I never realised he was in his 50s but it is hardly old for a manager, most continue well into their 60s. Young enough to start a dynasty, but I do agree he is not in consideration, no matter how much I wish he was!}

From what i've heard the likes of Shelvey, Wilson, Eccleston and Pacheco will play a large part against Napoli on thursday.

None of them involved in the reserves tonight plus we are going to be missing Torres/ Gerrard/ Cole/ Kuyt/ Agger and possibly johnson as well. .

Comioli apparently uses sabremetrics to research players, something that Nesv have used extensively in baseball. Not sure how this will translate to football, but Comioli was a scout at arsenal for 7 years and sporting director at Spurs signing the likes of Bale, Modric, Dos Santos, Taarbt, and Assou-Ekoto. He was involved with the failed Jol and Ramos regimes. Not sure If I want him here. What you think ed? {ed's note - he is very well respected, I wouldn't see it as a bad thing myself, he can hardly be worse than anyone who recommends Poulsen can he?}

Ha ha, very true ed.
If this is true, then I doubt Roy is the type of manager that Nesv want to work with him. It'll most likely be someone younger and not necessarily with a big reputation. {ed's note - maybe I have managed to convince the right people that Sean O'Driscoll deserves a shot then..... ;o)}

Does kk not travel all over europe to watch kids and pretential? Clubs do it every week

Yes they do but as Hiddink is being linked with the managers job its a bit strange that he just happens to be in London watching a young turk.Could you see Capello flying to turkey to watch an English youngster, especially if he was being linked with a job in Turkey! Come on mate, these are rumours and this is a fact that Plete spoke to him today, you don't need to shoot them down! we all know it may or may not mean anything but its evidence all the same that he could be on his way to LFC

not who im saying i wud like us to sign but theyve been mentioned,

ed can you tell me if u think theres any possibility of any of these coming in jan or the summer? {ed's note - they are all possible, though Gomez is getting less and less likely now, he is certainly the least likely, especially as his team are not in need of a sale unlike Mata and Llorente's teams. Honda, Sanchez and Young are all currently looking for a move so are the most likely signings, especially Honda as he fits everything that the new owners are looking for.}

He was playing against a right back that is on a par with Johnson for defensive ability, he needs to perform like that over a longer period than 6 months to be worth that kind of money. Remember this time last season he was so poor he was not wanted at Spurs and they were setting up a loan deal until an injury to Assou-Ekotto scuppered that.}

Great side ed! sorry to keep hastling you about bale but i think hes a player that would re build liverpool again.

Ed?. if were going in the right direction and the club is looking upwards in the next few months. do you not think we will attract a player of bales calibre or would it be we wouldn't have the funds? {ed's note - no, I just know he is a southerner with a low regard for the north and would have no interest in moving up here.}

A brace for Benfica fullback and LFC target 'Coentrão' playing left back in a 4-4-2 formation .

If we signed him he could be as effective as Gareth Bale is proving on Spurs left side .

I very much doubt Hodgson would be sacked with Chelsea to play at the weekend.}

Insted ov sitting in your house with nothing to do with your minds get out and get a life. And if that's not possible get on the banter page. .

WTF.

"""" Rafa is coming out saying all of this stuff because he wants his job back """""

Please Please Please NOOOOO - don't even say that in jest.

If you think about bringing his style of football back - you may as well keep Roy, or even bring back Souness or Houllier.

The only reason he'd want his job back is, he owns the biggest house on the Wirral, and his wife and family love it here.

Will you still want him when he fails at Inter? Which he will.

theres nothing even been said about todays meeting and if there was id post it up here.

i wud say RH will have a job till xmas at least.

NESV gave him there backing when they came, which was 3 weeks ago. they won't change there mind that quick. .
i think he should go sooner rather than later, maybe after chelsea. what u think ed? {ed's note - he should have gone after his comments following every game, but NESV have a lot to sort out before they can decide on a new manager. That is keeping Roy in a job for now.}

Man u on the slide and alex ferguson leaving soon, chelsea team old and not spending big any more, wenger leaving within two years. this is our chance to get ahead with a young manager. five/ six signings jan and the summer should settle things down a little.
skrtel £7m
konchesky £3m
insua £3m
poulson £3m
aqualina £12m
babel £7m
kuyt £7m
over £40m, surely nesv are going to put some transfer money in. two wide players and a striker are a must. honda, sanchez and llorenta would be nice. guessing £65m for those three. afellay, mexes and taiwo are free in summer so should be looked at. afellay apparently stated he would like to join liverpool. defensive mid-maybe banega probably £20m.dont know if we could afford all these with wage demands but if we are to challange something of this nature has to happen. hate mourino, hate alex ferguson with a passion but their teams always picked themselves with 11 solid players, also alot of depth, two players for every position wishing along these lines
renia jones
johnson kelly
taiwo mavinga
mexes allya
agger willson

banega shelvey
gearard meirless
afellay cole

sanchez amoo
torres llorente
honda jovanovic

i know there are three free signings, and players that could cost £85-90m in this wishful squad. out goings over £40m, as i said don't know about wages. if not these exact players hopefully players as good because we are liverpool. rh is a disgrace and is being mocked by other managers suggesting they buy our players and he not responding. he must go. then we can start to add to our extensive trophy room.
this is my first post, love this site.

MASIVE BOOOST . . Even babble would move his ar*e I think. Babble movin his game up a notch or two lol ( I know it's like saying somethin like virgin Mary was once on lime street)

Since the premiership arrived we have truly gone global, tv, internet etc and we have benfitted financially from that. What the club need s now though is the "old ways" of the boot room, local players, players who still live here, passion, discipline and respect for the club from the players who play for us. King Kenny with Tommo as his assistant will be a management team which will demand respect and instill passion in the squad, I would bring Stevie Nicol back as a future manager, to take over in 2-3 years, to work in the boot room with kenny and Tommo. At that stage Carra and Stevie would be ready to work under Stevie Nicol. . .the boot room would be re-born! !

First carlton cole, now wright phillips! j w henry wakes up every morning thinking of ways to make us great again. . . roy wakes up thinking of players that can get promotion from the championship. i personally believe roy won't get the money in january because he won't be there. so don't believe what you read in the paper concerning transfer targets folks, the point is nesv have very little knowledge of football, very little knowledge of players etc, untill the board room is in place and a consultant who they can trust is in place, roys job is safe. . for now anyway. nesv seem clever enough and will take there time to get it right, and not make exspensive mistakes. i posted a comment a bout 2 months ago, saying roy was never first choice, that he was a stop gap, as other managers with ambition would not have worked under the conditions of the old regime and about 25 people disagreed with me. what a difference a few bad results make, now every one is calling for his head. the two back to back wins have left us in a much brighter position, with a long way to go and only 5 points off 4th there is a realistic possibility of fighting mancity and tottenham all the way. the longer spurs stay in the champions league this year the better as they are dropping points in the league, mancity are pressing the self destruct button themselves, so there is a great chance of the big 4 being restored this year. who ever is in charge come jan i hope only one or 2 player are brought in to give everyone a lift, as any more than 3 could have a negative effect. chelsea will be roys defining game, a win and confidence will be restored through out everyone connected to the club, lose and it could be the straw that breaks the back. do you agree with any of that post ed? {ed's note - most of it mate, it is pretty spot on I think.}

RH wasnt sacked if he was it would be all over the news and lfc website.

it would be a mistake to sack him now ahead of an important game this sunday,
if hes going to be sacked it should be at xmas,
that way he has time to show improvement,
and if he doesn't he should be sacked so he doesn't waste money in january. .
what u think ed?jay b {ed's note - I would certainly not expect him to be sacked before the Chelsea game unless something seriously wrong happened in the meeting.}

jus cos its not on the news yet doesn't make a difference if hes been sacked it will be when there ready to announce it, , they don't jus have a meeting then second they come ou tthe room shout it about, , , maybe its not on the news cos there still in meeting sorting out compensation and stuff, , if they give roy the chance to stay till xmas then they risk putting us down in relegation zone over the new year

First of all, calm down son. No need to get so angry.

I didn't hear it on Revista De La Liga. I wrote Pellegrini into Google to see if he's been saying anything about his future and found it there.

Go onto Google and type "Malaga Pellegrini" and see how many results you get.

Manuel Pellegrini won't be the manager of Liverpool. Massive speculation in Spain claiming he'll take over from Jesualdo Ferreira who has been sacked from Malaga. Looks like we won't be getting him. Really disappointed.

==================================
Look what Mourinho wrote about Ferreira,

"One is a coach with a 30-year career, the other with a three-year one. The one with 30 years has never won anything; the one with three years has won a lot. The one who has coached for 30 years has an enormous career; the one with three years has a small career. The one with a 30-year career will be forgotten when he ends it; the one with three could end it right now and he could never be erased from history. This could be the story of a donkey who worked for 30 years but never became a horse."

Wat all teams has pellegrini managed and has he done well?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Most known for Villarreal and Real Madrid.

Took Villarreal from the Spanish second division, brought them up and turned them into a top 6 team pretty quickly. Then got them into the Champions League, got to the semi-final and unluckily lost to Arsenal. Finished 2nd in La Liga one season also. ALL on a very limited transfer budget. Not to mention the fact that he transformed the career of Giuseppe Rossi. And he had the bottle to sell Juan Riquelme, even though he was the team's best player. He did it because he believed the team functioned better when it was about a team, not one player. And after he did it Villarreal ended up having their best ever seasons in La Liga.

At R.Madrid, finished the season with an outstanding 96 points, with 102 goals scored. And he had many poor players in his team to work with. Plus, the players signed weren't his choices and Perez sold Sneijder, VDV when he didn't want them sold.

Would just like to know what managers people REALISTICALLY think will be approached should Roy be removed from his role as manager ?

What managers do you think would do well Ed ?

ElRoja {ed's note - I believe that Pellegrini is in pole position and I do think he would do a good job.}

i agree with you ED, PELLEGRINI has come out and spoke of liverpool contact, and that he would love to manage us, he was approached before hodgson , but because of the delicate situation with the takeover he decided to step back and monitor the situation, now the time is right for him and he want's to be in a new position by december!

total 75m

then the team would look like this:

if nesv gave us £60m to spend plus sell all of the deadwood like bable this would be possoble and we would chalange for trophys again

Thanks Carlo, we at 'little old Liverpool' are really grateful. Why doesn't Roy go public with his gratitude and say that in return of their generosity we won't be bidding bid for Drogba, Essien or Malouda, unless we get any injuries. What an absolute bunch of tools! !

''Pellegrini is the man for us,
he plays the style of footy that we want to watch,

true, his teams do concede a lot of goals, (35 in 38 for RM)

but he would work wonders,
and would make the right signings,
i watched RM a lot under him and they wer excellent, tore teams to shreds.
also may attract alexis sanchez to us which would be great,
for me he is the only way to go. .

John Henry has not provided a written guarantee that NESV will not offload the costs of taking over Liverpool on to the club.
Henry has previously said that NESV would clear the £200m "acquisition debt" forced on to the club by Tom Hicks and George Gillett and not burden Liverpool with servicing their own purchase of the club.
However, Henry has since told The Guardian that the Liverpool board never asked for a contractual commitment from NESV not to load any of their acquisition costs on to the club in the future. 
Henry said: "I don't remember anything being discussed along these lines except that there was a desire for all of the debt to be removed except stadium debt."
He added: "The simplest thing to say is that we removed all debt but the stadium debt. LFC is not servicing debt other than stadium debt."

Ed if we wer to get 6 players between jan-summer as i suggested,
who do u think would make our team complete?
realistically?
i think:
van der wiel (10m approx)
taiwo (7m)
mata (18m)
affellay (10)
llorente (18m)
shawcross (10m)

these are just figures that i would value them at,

and get rid of:
babel (7m)
degen (2m)
jovanovic(5m)

who would u buy and sell ed? {ed's note - I would go for Sanchez, Honda, Llorente, Taiwo/Cissokho, Afellay/Mata and Wickham and recall Ayala from loan myself. Get rid of Degen, Babel, Poulsen, Kyrgiakos, Aurelio, Skrtel.}

Get rid of Torres, he is holding the club back. His form is terrible and he is not putting the effort in on the pitch. He's always picking up injuries playing for spain. Also it's difficult to buy another striker with him here as he likes to play up front alone and no other striker will come as they will be on the bench if Torres is fit.
Unbelievable? You're damn right it is. Almost as unbelievable as the people suggesting getting rid of Gerrard and Carragher. I wonder if they're actually supporting another club.

Hi guys first time poster but long admirer of the site so here goes! First of all i don't like Roy. I was in a position at the end of last season where if rafa went i wouldn't be too disapointed but likewise if he stayed. I stuck up for roy against family and friends when he was appointed, saying give him a chance. However much i like sticking by managers though, i feel he has to go. His interviews are awful along with his tactics. 2 years ago zidane said gerrard was the best player in the world. So if we have someone that good why not play him in centre midfield - his best position! He will be facing foward and will control the play! It only worked previously as we had xabi alonso in cm - who i believe was hugely underrated, and i think his importance has shown as we have gone backwards ever since he left. Also i think Arbeloa was a big loss but noone seems to mention it. He kept the likes of messi an ronaldo quiet in their own back yards not many can boast tht. I like glen but id like to see him played further up and not waste loads of money on players like ashley young! And why agger isn't liked is beyond. He is brilliant! You don't find many good young footballing centre backs but he is right up there. I agree tht our youngsters should be given more of a chance. Shelvey, pacheco, kelly, wilson, mavinga, sousa, eccleston etc. I love the tactical side of the game, and i am firm believer in the theory of if u don't concede, u can't loose but roy uas to mix it up. Play babel upfront! Not for 3 games give him a gd run in the team of 10-15 games thn judge him! Jovanovic, poulsen, konchesky have to go. I dnt agree with people saying we should gt a.young, cahill and wright-phillips etc as they r just not good enough. But most of all roy has to go! Im a great admirer of hiddink, but if i had to make a choice i would pick owen coyle. Bolton were stuk in 1 style for years but he has got an agreeing side playing good football and they have only lost to us and arsenal this season. He would mix it up but most of all he enjoys playing good football. I don't think we need loads of players but i would like to see one or two. Honda and llorente are two i like alot and gareth bale wouldn't go a miss! Be happy for any comments, especially ed? {ed's note - Bale is a definite no no, and Babel up front is not going to work, there is only one place for Babel - the exit door.}

Roy has been given the assurances he wanted. He has until the end of the season to improve on last year's 7th place. He will be here in May, guaranteed. Forget about Pellegrini. Not happening, he's off to UAE to coach. Hiddink in the picture if Roy fails in his task by May.

Ed.

I read on the rumours page that you think "RH has done nothing to warrant keeping his job" .

What would you think of NESV if they keep him and permit him to sign players in 2 months time .

Yes the team is improving (a little) but from a dire RH standard (BRFC in the late 90's) to now a club surrounded by Villa and Sunderland though we have twice the wage budget . {ed's note - I don't believe that any man who thinks a point against Everton would be a good point or that a terrible performance against Bolton which led to a lucky win is 'an historic victory' deserves to keep his job.}

SWP is not good enough for Liverpool. He was barely good enough for Man City when they were rubbish. He has no technical ability on the ball, he's weak, he can't cross. All he's got is pace.

Cassano is an idiot. There's a reason Sampdoria terminated his contract - He's volatile, disruptive and arrogant. He doesn't do what he's told, and every club he's left has been on bad terms.

Andy Carroll is a thug who fights team mates, women, smashes glasses in peoples face. He's going to end up in prison at some point. Not fit to wear the shirt.

Ashley Young is no better than average, and would cost around £20m. For less money we could get Sanchez, Turan, Mata, Elia. Why would anyone want Young over those players?

Gary Cahill is not as good as Sky and Owen Coyle make him out to be. He's not an improvement on Agger and Skrtel, and we've got Ayala, Kelly and Wilson struggling to break into the team.

Lucas is improving every game. He's great at passing (completed 46 of 48 passes on Sunday), he's never injured, he always gives 100%. To sell him would be ridiculous, especially for the 5-6mil people are quoting. {ed's note - I am wondering if I typed this post without realising it, it is almost exactly what I would have said! Not often I agree so wholeheartedly with a post.}

excellent post however just one point - if you take andy carroll who has talent away from his local and his bad influencing friends he might grow up and turn into a decent human being and might be worth a risk then {ed's note - except that his friends weren't there when he attacked his team mate, nor when he 'allegedly' assaulted his girl friend.}

FIRST TIME POST

I can understand people going on about Jamie. As much as he gives 100% and has been a great servant to the club, he's coming to the end of his time and in some games he's a liability. As for Stevie, he could still walk into any team in the world and I only hope that we can sort a team out that will give him the reward he deserves, the premier league title.

I never wanted Roy in the first place, but people who are saying give him a chance - you can already see that things are not going to improve (we're not even unlucky in some games). You can see by the players that he's signed, ie Poulson and Koncheski that he only seems to know players from his former mediocre teams. I don't think he could command the quality players a club like Liverpool deserve - people seem to forget that Liverpool is still one of the biggest clubs in the world. If he stays in charge, we are going to lose our top players, for example, Agger who in my opinion is our best defender, always looks comfortable on the ball and plays the game as it should be played, but Hodgson doesn't like this style of play.

If we get rid of the nice man now, we've still got a chance of making the top 4.

If you agree, tick believe, if you don't, tick disbelieve.

i say give him the funds in jan and see what he has planned, if it doesn't work then show him the door in the summer,
it wasnt even roy who wanted carlton cole in the summer it was the board.

we are liverpool fc , we shud always back our manager and giv him a chance

waht u think ed? {ed's note - I disagree, it was Roy who wanted Cole, and his comments after games are disgraceful. I am sorry but he has shown the wrong attitude for a manager of Liverpool and he does nothing to warrant keeping his job.}

My brother in law lives in Milan, and has advised there is a very strong rumour that Inter will be looking to purchase both Torres and Gerrard in January.

As we know, Rafa is a huge fan and has money to spend, plus he is aware of Liverpool's interest in two of his players, being Eto'o and Stanton.

Eto'o is having a great season but has apparently expressed a desire to play in the only 'major' league he has yet to excel in, and is a known long term admirer of LFC.

Why would Gerrard and Torres go there when they didn't enjoy playing football under him at Liverpool?

I have heard the board will be looking to replace Hodgson, but feel they may have issues replacing him with any of the 'high profile' managers that they are chasing, due to the clubs current position etc.

Therefore, they will approach Dalglish to take over on a short term contract.

He will look to re-install the 'Liverpool way' back into the club, and will start by re-appointing Phil Thompson as assistant manager, with Sammy Lee becoming fitness coach.

Just heard from my brother who lives in france that Woy is placing a bid for Ishak Belfodil.

Expect this to happen in the summer!

Don't know a great deal about him so if anyone knows if he is any good? ?

{Editor's Note: I can't see any chance of this happening unless Liverpool are dumb enough to buy out a full contract that has yet to kick in. Belfodil is a youth player and one of the Lyon players who signed up to future pro contracts starting next year.}

If we have £25m to spend in Jan, lets forget about the Man City Reserves - SWP, we should really go for :
Affelay - £3-6m - out of contract @ PSV in Summer
Taiwo - £3-6m - out of contract @OM in Summer
Llorente - £20 odd million.

Affelay because he is showing signs of fulfilling the potential he showed in younger years. Fits in with a policy of buying younger, highly talented players, plus most importantly he is better than what we have at the moment.

Taiwo because he is better than Konchesky! Paul is a decent backup but if we want to be challenging for top 4 soon, we need better quality at the back (were Man Utd, Arsenal etc going for him in the summer. .didnt think so!)

Llorente, because he offers something very different to Torres (how often in the past have Chelsea when their usual tactics aren't working, decided we'll lump to Drogba and go long ball). Llorente can play on his own or partner Torres, he is phyically imposing, good in the air, good with his feet and would be a real show of intent on the part of NESV. Llorente has been heavily linked with Barca, Real Madrid amongst others.

Team after Jan (4-4-2) Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Taiwo, Kuyt, Gerrard, Meireles, Affelay, Llorente, Torres.

Given all the talk on who we need. . . has anyone thought about prob the best full back Phillip Lahm, he can play right or left back this is a must, also we need and i strongly advise for this to happen is Ever Bangera, with these two in our side the only way is up.
Reina
Johnson Carra Agger Lahm
Bangera
Meireles Gerrard
Kuyt Cole
Torres
with this we will have to full backs that are dangerous on the attack. This leaves Gerrard supporting Torres as it should be and Meireles doing what he does best knowing that they have somebody who enjoys the defensive position of midfield. we can look at wingers maybe but we have two of the brightest prospects coming thru our ranks Eccleston and Amoo and not far from being 1st team material.

Just read the post in connection with Cassano potentially coming to Liverpool on a free.

I am currently working in Italy, and the sports press have confirmed that it is 'very likely' he will have his contract terminated, and soon.

He comes with a very bad repuatation but would be worth a look

Regarding this proposed meeting between Roy and NESV, i have to say i shall be quite depressed if Roy retains his position.

We have been having discussions at work as to what (if anything) Roy has brought to this great club, and to be honest its really difficult to find anything. He was supposed to have been brought in to steady the ship (titanic springs to mind if he stays) and yet he has done quite the opposite, he has sucked the life out of the players with his usage of dire, boring, defensive football. I will always support liverpool, but for gods sake have we really sunk to the level where we consider wins against blackburn and bolton as "good" results!

I really don't mind who replaces him from all the usual candidates mentioned elsewhere. just so long as he is replaced.

We have got 28 games left. lets at least start to have a go at other teams. .please!

Roy Hodgson is contracted as Liverpool manager. Liverpool has always been a loyal club.
He will at least get a full season. Nicol not interested as he is happy and settled in USA. Hiddink is not interested either. The only ones who are interested at a distance are Dalglish, Rijkaard and O'neil. I bet a new manager won't be installed until summer.
By the way, Raffa Benitez wants to come home. Apparantly he's home sick ( liverpool's his home as he regards it). Italy isn't Liverpool.

Must buys for lfc in jan :
1. Affelay, (Young pacy winger cmg 4 cheap)
2. Hulk ( wel his name is enough , wil defn'ly take the pressure off nando)
3. Podolski ( y doesn't any1 thnk bout him? I thnk only roy wil bring him as he likes to get internationals but i doubt it'l hapen if new man comes in).
People sugestin hönda, turan might get wrng coz i think they wnt flourish in the most demadin n over-concerned atmosphere of epl (for instance lucas, people just cnt leave him alone) hazard n sanchez wil cost 2 much. Oh pls peopld dnt sugest craps like swp(almost over), santac( never startd)
jarvis ( we already hav a lot of jarvises).
Now summer targets;
1. Banega (the only rep of alonso)
2. Lukaku (surely the nxt drogba)
3. Taiwo ( we need him)
4. STOP TRANFERS N Concentrate on youngster.
Pls nesv sack roy 1st n foremost

Ed Re: O'Driscoll
I read your comments about this guy being a potential LFC manager if the owners have a long term plan and stick with him. However don't you think its a step to far for him at the moment and we would be better approaching him to run our reserve side/ do some first team coaching so that we get someone coming through the ranks in a Anfield 'boot room' stylie for a couple of years and appointment KD Pellegrini on a 2/ 3 contract while he's being groomed for the big job?

RedDan {ed's note - no I don't, he will just end up only being a reserve team man or maybe a number 2 if that happens. I think it is time to be brave and appoint someone who will get the team playing the right way and give the youngsters a chance to prove themselves.}

The post that said carra and gerrard are holding the club back, well i understand what he means about gerrard he has england managers as well as liverpool managers puzzled where or how to play him, i thought he would of gone when we bought alonso, don't get me wrong i love gerrard he is a top player, but when we are a goal down and pushing for a goal no one seems to have an idea of there own, its all got to go through gerrard and if he isn't on blob we struggle its his influence on the team, i only wish he could influence the team to be more aggressive and work twice as hard as they are, move about a LOT more than they are when we have possession

No one needs to be trusted with the transfer funds. A group of top management should be consulted on this task and the majority should agree on who to sign. I feel LFC have the soccer brains not to allow the manager to dictate on the signing, as he has wasted money on poulsen and is buying under achievers that should be stopped at any cost. There should be a rule not to sign anyone above 25years f age. This will eliminate dead wood from other clubs finding their way into lfc.
We need a quality striker, wingers and a left back. The manager should utilise the younger players, kelly, shelvey pacheco more often than he is at the moment. Don't see why danny wilson isn't featuring at the moment. JC is past his best and is doing no one any favour than causing dis unity at the back. He has served us well and should call it a day.

Rumour going around that Kenny is still pushing for Turan, but Hodgson not that sold on him, and that Kenny has suggested the new owners have a look at him! !, so H not happy.

Is Hodgson thick, he slags of Rafa's signings, in public, how the hell is that motivativing players to do their best.

He should look at his record here Poulson, crap, Konchelski, least said the better. Now look at his targets if the press are to be believed, SWP light weight, little end product, Ashley Young the same, one good game in four, Darren Bent the same.

For God sake go for class not quantity!

Poor manager, poor track record, poor transfer record, won nothing for more than 20 years. Voted league manager of the year last season, for losing the Europa League Final, and leading Fulham to 12th in the league with 46 points, 5 places and 17 points behind Rafa's team.

This year? ?? ? GHU

Antonio Cassano is on his way to Liverpool - His current club are considering terminating his contract, due to a row with one of the clubs Directors (it has been widely reported he has already been released, but this is not the case)

If anyone has seen the guy play, when he is in the mood, he is unplayable and if we can pick him up for free, he would be worth the risk - and it would be a risk - His latest bust up is only one in a long line of issues he has had but, despite this, he is still hugely popular in Italy amoungst the fans, and will also give the reds an 'in' into the Italian market.

I have no idea what the OP was on about. But I will say this:

1) JC is a liability. On current form, he should be on the bench. If you can't see that, then I am so sorry. Skrtel and Agger, if both fit should be the first choices. IMHO

2) Gerrard is a major impediment to designing formations for any Liverpool team. Do you play him behind Torres, do you shove him to the right wing or does he play in midfield.

He obviously has it in his skull that the midfield is his best role. Thats despite the fact that he had his two most successive seasons behind Torres and on the right. Now whenever he plays in the midfield. . .

I will say this, if SG plays in the midfield against Chelsea, we would all have another hole to s* t from.


Gerrard did have his two most successive seasons behind Torres and on the right but you're forgetting one big Xabi Alonso sized factor in that little equation mate. Who do you suggest distribute the ball to them now, because it sure as F* *k hasn't happened for the last season and a half. In fact the best passer we have at LFC now is Gerrard (closely followed by Pepe Reina) which is why we look allot more effective as a team when he is put back into the midfield, which only seems to happen after Rafa/ Roy decide its not working the way it is which would be great if they then didn't go back to the same formation for the next game, it's just infuriating.

Also the only reason Gerrard is dilemma to the team selection is because he is a complete midfielder and is more effective in each of the positions you mention than the current player playing in that position, surely he can't be blamed for being good at his Job. And if anyone doesn't agree with this then fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion but then you should have no quarrels selling Gerrard to another EPL team and because by your own logic you should not fear him when he plays against to us,

Honda

Mereilles gerrard

cole. Torres. Affelay

you think this would work ed? Or do we really need a strike partner for torres? {ed's note - Honda would be a great partner for Torres, or a better left back than the ones we have. I think your 3 buys would be enough and good buys, after all Dempsey could also partner Torres.}

I couldn't agree more with you although my son could. hope someone uses sense instead of going for the same old same old. {ed's note - cheers mate, I am sure your son is not the only Donnie fan that would be gutted if O'Driscoll left.}

I have simply had enough of Woy Bloody Hodgson! !

The guy is a nice fella but as Rafa said he simply doesn't know what is needed at Liverpool F.C

His constant negative tactics has to be the worst ever for a Liverpool team. Why are we playing like this?? We should be going at teams, pass and move, one and two touch attractive football. Not the drivel that Hodgson has us set up to play.

There are fantastic youth players, far better than those in the current first eleven. Jonjo for one should be a cert to start, Kelly another and Pacheco.
Under Hodgson they simply won't get the game time they should get.

We need a manager that will give these guy's the chance! and help build a team of quality, using youth and experience. . whilst spending the right money on the right players-out there to build a formidable squad to challenge for honours. The manager also needs to play the right type of football and not defensive and boring carp!

Pellegrini or Rijkaard have to be the next manager.

NESV has to, and I think will do the right thing and put el WOY out! and appoint a man that can with there help take Liverpool in the right direction.

Tick Believe if you agree or Unbelievable if you don't.

ALSO SERGIO KUN AUGUERO IS A MUST! !

I have been hearing certain disheartening things for a while now about the direction of the club. The whole of idea of getting an English manager and buying English players e.t.c.

I am wondering if there is some xenophobia at play here. I would expect us to buy based on talent and talent only. Why the hell would we be interested in SWP and Carlton Cole? For the sake of the g0ds, there are better versions of both players and at lesser prices from the continent, south america or Africa? Don't give me that bulls* t about knowing the premier league.

Diouf said something about the English posse (SG, JC and Danny Murphy) never talking to him at Liverpool. No one would make s* t like that up. While Diouf obviously has his issues, I am beginning to wonder if there is more to it. Its the whole engrish thing that gave us Hodgson in the first place. Someone suggested UK/ British-born managers like Owen Coyle and McLeish yesterday and I am beginning to wonder . . .

Your thoughts@ed and everyone {ed's note - there are always cliques, unfortunately the main clique at Liverpool have got a bit too much power at the club. I don't think that is anything to do with nationality though, more about weak management. A good, strong manager does not allow cliques to form, I don't see that is anything to do with nationality either. The only reason I would like a young English manager is purely because they are more likely to put the league first, rather than Europe. But if we find a manager that is going to go out and try and win every match, and set the league as his priority, I really couldn't care less what his nationality is!}

Also he's a winger which we have a serious lack of! and he's young. So depressing {ed's note - funny how things change, I was singing his praises last season and everyone laughed at me! It was a huge mistake to let him go, but he wasn't going to sit round the reserves with no chance of first team football.}

You have to wonder how LFC could let a promisimg young winger go given the lack of first team talent in that area. Seems a shame not to give some of these kids a chance. I've just read an article about Liverpool's interest in Gillingham's 16yo striker Ashley Miller. Why bother?

Reports coming out of the morning papers that we're gona make a £5m move for Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Would be disappointed with this. 29 years of age, well past his best, probably want massive wages (contract talks with City broke down because he demanded more money - and he's already on £60,000 a week! ) So atleast £3.1m per year for him when he's near 30 and past it. Waste of money and if it happens yet another poor signing from Hodgson.

Surely Henry will not sanction such a deal.
