hey eds, i've just seen an article on the daily mail website about city willing to let adam johnson leave for an asking price of £10million. do you think city will actually let him go for such a little amount and do you know if liverpool are interested. thanks eds.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2128412/Manchester-City-sell-Adam-Johnson.html {Ed001's Note - I think they will let him go but I don't think many will be interested due to his off field attitude.}


And the fact he's s**t


I havent herd much of him having a bad attitude off field but if he did would you blame him mancini hates him openly


I think adam johnson is a very good player and his shoots are very dangerous when he he cut his way from the right wing to the middle and hit the ball!its truly very dangerous


ED - what off field attitude? {Ed001's Note - he likes to party and doesn't apply himself properly in training, hence why he is so poor when he starts matches and fades out as the game goes on.}


City supporter mate of mine says AJ enjoys a beer.


Adam Johnson s**t? He'd walk into our 1st team.


I know for a fact we were and still are interested.

DaveyBootle


Very good player and deadly left foot. Sadly he knows that and thinks he is better than anyone else on thye pitch. Wouldn't want to see him due to his attitude on and off the pitch. Plus he takes too many touches.


He reminds me off David Bentley


I was with a city fan last night chatting about johnson. He laughed an said loads of people outside of man city think he's brilliant but then match of the day can make you look good. He reckoned johnson's work ethic on the pitch was crap, a bad attitude and one footed.Plus his off the feild s**te beers etc. It changed my mind on him thought he would be a brillian signing

Heard a rumour that mourino is being lined up to replace king kenny


I take it u dont come on here often. Every bulls##### says the same. i personally think it would be good for the club, but realistically would never happen!


You've got it wrong again. Maureen Yo has been signed as an interpreter for the two young Chinese players training with the Academy.
Dutchmal


*Mourinho. And no he isn't


King Kenny here to stay


Kenny has already been told by the owners that his job is safe


R u drunk or high?? why would mourinho manage a team thats not offering champions league football and not with those players here at liverpool he is never taking a chance


No!its all rubbish!Kenny is here to stay.And will also continue to bring glory to the club


Behave, kenny's had the kiss of death 'his job is safe' is something like the statements abramovich makes before he drops the axe.kenny's will be asked to resign in the summer who takes the job anyone's guess but mourinho has said he wants to leave a legacy next. Where better than to start with a club that has suffered for so long.I reckon it's got mourinho written all over it.


WHOEVER still calls the man KING KENNY and wishes him to stay is clearly a kenny dalglish supporter and not one of lfc

hey eds is it true the owners wanted to no y maxi is not getting more game time one of the match speaker said it 2day they have a good point kd needs to have the balls and say i got it wrong with dow and play him maxi {Ed001's Note - yes it is.}


I think its pretty clear to see that kenny will be out of a job soon, too many questions from the owners and not enough answers from kenny. League form is the most important and champions league is where we want to be, unfortunately kenny's signings are not up to the grade, hopefully that goal by carroll raised his value. Spearing, henderson, adam also need to go and replaced with better. Well done to the team for today but too little too late for some. RedTurk


Kenny did not get it wrong with Downing. Apart from a 2 month spell before Christmas, he has conistently been one of our better players, putting in a number of good balls into the box. It's not his fault if our strikers can't finish them.
Spearing is a good squad player. Same for Adam. That's all they're meant to be. With a fully fit squad Gerrard & Lucas would be first choice ahead of them. Henderson has shown glimpses but it still just a kid & needs time. Try supporting our players for once instead of slating them.


Irrespective of whether we feel maxi should be playing or not it's up to the manager to decide ......not the owners... Dangerous ground there.


Redturk shut up eh! just for once, you are a complete clown m8. good perfomance second half a win a second cup final yet you still at it.you will never be happy.bad players do not get to 2 cup finals.
mrbrown


I think the second guy that replied to this thread is spot on. It doesn't take a genius to see that this year (although dissapointing in the league) was about regeneration and getting a stronger squad to play together and understand each other. Spearing and Adam are indeed only ever there for backup, and Henderson was for next season and beyond. This year is just teething.
The only big cock-up this season was relying on the new strikers to deliver straight away. This was always a risk, and with the backup of Kuyt and Bellers it was always dependant on whether they turned up on the day. Bellamy has been ace and you couldn't ask for more, but Kuyt is always overated in my opinion an is a workhorse with no end product.
The future is promising if you allow for this crap season (bar possibly 2 trophies???? Is that crap??!!!).
The squad will be settled next year with a couple of missin links to the jigsaw coming in - flair players that will make the difference and turn L'pool into a force again.

Believe guys. Keep slagging them off and they will never relax and play to their best abilities. If you go to work/school an you are told you are rubbish you more than likely sit there sulking all day and want to hide. Get behind them, things are gonna get better ;0)


I thought carroll did well today,as did henderson in an unfavoured position,spearing a good squad player,its unbelievable that in the year we win the league cup and get to the fa cup final people are still moaning,give the players and kenny another season,with a couple of additions,and we will be challenging,red turk,change your name to red burk if youre gonna keep coming out with such claptrap,rob b


Hi Ed001 - are you kidding us or can you actually understand this post?
Dutchmal {Ed001's Note - I had my 10 year old decipher it for me. I mean I am young and hip, just like Squidward.}


Hmm well fortunately mr brown kenny didnt sign 11 players, the rest are rafa players. But saying that bad players dont get there, jus have a look at birmingham or everton for instance. Anyway im happy we got to the final, im not here to disrespect kenny, i respect him for what he has done in the past, im not gona shout insults at him either but the lesgue is where you prove your worth and finishing 7 or 8th is not good enough. RedTurk


In 05 rafa didnt win the CL with his players he won it with the previous mangerS players. hasmt won much since. then, those same players who hadnt won much are still in our squad. im not saying there bad just dont compare rafas signings and kennys. kenny signed like 6 seniors. woop de doo


The same people raving about Downing, Spearing, Adam etc etc would have been spitting feathers if we had lost today and would have probably slated the lot of them. Some of the players Dalglish has signed are not good enough for our club irrespective of the fact we are in the F.A.Cup Final.

SMc

p.s. good players don't make it to finals? Birmingham City last year? The league is the bread and butter and the real indicator, any team can go on a cup run - it takes a quality team to challenge in the league. Sadly we are not such a team.


When American owners are better at recognising who your better players are than the manager there is a problem. Kenny needs to be a little less obstinate a little less sentimental and a bit more flexible and hard headed if we're to challenge next year. We won yesterday with a centre half at left back a has been at centre half and our two most prolific players on the bench. {Ed001's Note - read the Tomkins Times article from Friday, where he explains why it is Comolli that carried the can, because the stats he used to judge players suggest Maxi is surplus.}


I wish the Downing Appreciation Society would admit that he is not the winger that can take us to that next level. I have seen him play week in week out and he seems to be the WORST of Kenny's buys.


Back to the original question. Maxi is one of our VERY few players who get into good goal scoring positions and can finish!


Seb larsson people he was free he is a fk specialist he has scored lots of goals this season and few assists downing has 1 goal no assists its not his fault if are strikers dont put them in off him but it is his fault he has not been good enough maxi has scored most of the time he has played so its kd needs to sort it out maxi nearly scored when he come on what did dow do

hi ed after today win do you think kenny will get one more year. and also carroll to prove himself. what do you think will suarez and reina stay or they will leave the club. thanx and i also want to know the views of fans.
{Ed002's Note - I suspect there will be some lengthy discussions at the end of the season. I don.t see Reina leaving but there has to remain a chance that Suarez will go.}


Reina -stay
KK-Hope he leaves manager position
Suarez-Hope he leaves bad for the club hes a bit like balotelli
JoshS


ED do you think todays win will mean kenny is less likely to be moved into another role at the club or do you still think he will go? {Ed001's Note - I still expect him to move upstairs, what it has shown is that his strategy is more useful than Comolli's.}


Deffo want kenny to stay and i think carroll is know starting to prove himself he is over half way there he is worth 20 million of the 35 million really can see carroll improving won 2 games for us know in a row


Without wishing to disrespect editorial opinion, I am sure that Luis Suarez will stay. In a popularity contest between Luis and the owners, I think the owners would lose, and I do not feel they can afford that. We have to bear in mind that Luis Suarez is probably Liverpool's best player. Perhaps the possibility of interest from other teams simply underlines that fact,

Red Owl {Ed001's Note - it is not a popularity contest, they own the club, he plays for it, they decide when he goes not the fans.}


It wud be inappropriate to make too many changes in the team. In the last two matches the entire side has started to gel properly and two/three new recruits shud strengthen the side. Reina, Skrtel/Aggar, Lucas, Gerrard and Suarez is the spine and that shud not be disturbed.


Kenny and Carroll to stay

hi eds great site just wondering what top teams in europe are keeping tabs on neymar every time i watch him he is awsome im not saying are liverpool intrested cos that would be pipe dreamin cos he would cost around 40mill thanks eds {Ed001's Note - no idea sorry.}


Thought neymar signed a pre contract with barsa? {Ed002's Note - A much spread misnomer.}


Balague reckons it's already done and dusted that he's going to barca


I had it jotted down in my notes that barca had given a nominal fee on first option on neymar. That is not guaranteed to barca, but who would turn them down!

Swagga


Brazilian football has more money in it now and can afford to hold on to it's stars for a little longer. The charms of Barca and Real may be too much to resist for some but i wouldn't expect to see too many youngsters coming to europe at bargain prices anymore.


Barca, chelsea and real madrid have had their interest in the young brazilian star but hes sure that he wants to stay at santos, he says he is settled there.

Dalglish needs to give Carroll a good run in the squad now instead of rotating him in and out constantly.

We've got nothing to play for but pride in the league so we should give him a good run of games and see if he can build his confidence up with some goals.

You never know, he could make the Euros..... or not.


One of Carroll and crouch has to make it to the euro's. Both might not make the first team but would be nice to have some aerial threat on the bench.

If Carroll can keep scoring/playing well it may well be him on the bench in euro's.


Sure , but we do not need Andy Carroll to go the Euro's .

Qwerty


Today and the Blackburn game has shown that Carroll can deliver as he looked interested in playing in both games.

The rest of the season he hasn't looked interested in a lot of games, hasn't scored, and our league form reflects this.

The only way he will go to the euros is if he carries on scoring until the end of the season.

If not he will be watching it on a TV like the rest of us.

Gaz1975.


I disagree every time ive watched ac he looks like he really wants to do well perhaps he tries too hard ,but his attitude is spot on and you can see how much he wants to make it in a red shirt . i hope this week has installed some belief in the lad . i hope he makes the euro squad cos can only be good for us for next season,
molbys spare tyre


Fk england, he should pllay cos he deserves it. hes worked damn hard these las few weeks/months. he should play, as he has earned it. give a fk about euros in the summer.


KK has given carrol a good run in the squad and he has done nothing ( he scored the winner today fair enough ) when suarez was banned we had carrol up front on his own !

Flinshire Red


I genuinely believe that the reception Andy got at St James a few games back has made him realise that the bridge back to Newcastle has burned away. He's never been as bad as some detractors have suggested this season, but he's improved a lot since then. If he keeps it up then the Euros are a definite possibility, depending on who the manager is of course.


Bet that all you were on the Carroll bandwagon a month ago and slaying him,come on andy I always believed in him

Could the 2 people who voted un believable to this post, have the moral fibre to explain why ?

Hey Ed's
Does anyone know whether liverpool are after Billy Bodin? looks a good young plaer... {Ed001's Note - no idea sorry.}


Billy bodin? are you kidding, nowhere near liverpool standard. the lads been on loan at crew and torquay most of the season because he's not good enough for the Swindon team.

Ali


I'm a Liverpool and Torquay support he is quality but he Is not up to our standard

Cruyff not coming, doesnt want to live over here.


He doesnt live in Holland now but has a job there... he lives in Barcelona and has done for 25yrs!


He never said he lives in holland...


We dont want him, he is egotistic and has just taken the Ajax board to court to have them all removed because he didnt want Van Gaal !


A visionary and Europe's greatest ever player. But, at this point in his life, not the guy we need.

Taking the club back to the top will be a 24/7 job and needs someone with enormous drive, energy and in excellent health.

No Maxi
Carroll and Suarez start..

Cheers

Macca


Not even on bench?


And Carragher starts;(


Bah, got that wrong then, my source shall be questioned! But don't doubt the dan smith rumour! Sure will be confirmed sooner than later

Swagga


I don't wanna reply any answer but i want to give this list of player tat wold really help liverpool to become once the champion of europe
1.Adam johnson
2.Edinson cavani
3.Eden hazard
4.seydou keita
5.christian tello
6.Isla
7.Metersacker
8.mesut ozil and also 1 good central defender


Maxi is on the bench


Any good places to watch the match online?


Why is enrique on the bench ? Is Dalglish trying to accomodate carragher into the team by shifting Agger to LB and dropping enrique ?


I guess that proved to be a wise choise:)


A wise choice ? did you see the first goal ?


Good place to watch any football is www.firstrowsports.eu


Think Carragher was drifted in due to Everton's aerial strengths in Jelavic, Fellaini and Cahill especially.

Delboy. {Ed001's Note - I am not sure, he was recommended by Dalglish initially, so it is possible. But it seems to have come from a post on the official Ajax site stating that Cruyff was stepping down from his role with the club. Unfortunately, it goes on to state that he is moving into a different role within the club.}
--------------

Cruyff has stepped down or actually resigned as a member of the board at Ajax. The other four, including chairman and former player Edgar Davids, stepped down earlier. The resignations follow an Amsterdam court decision in February to ban the naming of Louis van Gaal as chief executive.

Van Gaal, was nominated last November by four of the five board members but Cruyff protested they had gone behind his back in appointing his long-time rival.

The court ruled in Cruyff's favour, saying Van Gaal's appointment had not been on the agenda for a board meeting which Cruyff missed.

Cruyff is now due to take an "advisory role in the new structure of the club".
Jim 22


Unless Liverpool are prepared to let Cruyff work long distance there is no chance he will join Liverpool in any capacity.

Hey Eds,

Is it true that Liverpool have singed Dan Smith from Crewe?

Thanks

Mac {Ed001's Note - seems to be true, difficult to be sure until officially announced as there are so many in for him. We could end up getting gazumped!}


True -saw picture of him with KK . Apparently Wanted to come to us not MCFC


It's true. Swagga


Is he any good (sorry for ignorance), I've never heard of him, although just checked him out on the net and seems a goos prospect...

Come on you red men!

Thanks
AdLFC {Ed001's Note - rated by Crewe as the best player they have produced since Danny Murphy.}


He has signed - as I postedtwo weeks ag0 {Ed019's Note - Too bad we don't know who you are}


The Crewe F.C board at footymad have ''Dan Smith to Liverpool for £400,000''

It's dated 5th of April, and it links to a Telegraph article. Can't find any real confirmation of what is being rumoured though.

Ollieston


Heard Lfc are looking at Nick Powell from Crewe too, scored some fantastic goals, looks a talent. Anyone know if this is happening too?

Confirmed: Liverpool FC 'interested' in signing Mexican wing starlet. Liverpool are interested in signing Pachuca midfielder Hector Herrera in the summer, claims the Mexican club's Executive Director. Speaking to ESPN, Andres Fassi insisted that the 21-year old winger could become 'one of the Premier League's best players in two or three seasons', and confirmed that he is being watched by Liverpool. He said:

"At the moment, we know that Liverpool is interested. But that's all it is at this point, an interest.

"If [Herrera leaves], it will be thanks to a sale. We will not loan him out or send him for a trial.

"[Herrera] can surely be one of the Premier League's best players in two or three seasons. He's that good."

Herrera was nominated for the Mexico league's 'Golden Ball' in 2011, an award that recognises the country's best talent. Some info about the player:

* Mexico U-23 international
* Left-footed winger
* 27 appearances for Pachuca so far
* 2 assists in 12 starts this season


yes,lets get him, stick him in the reserves and let him fester with all the others who never truly get a chance.

quick to slate attacking players with little end performance. From the stats you have given he has played 27 times, and only has 2 assists in twelve games (obviously his best return or why mention it).

Is he from the same club as that Bueno chap we were after? Does anybody know what happened to him. Last time I heard about Bueno wikipedia said he signed a pre-confract with us?

Well he will probably come cheap and if he plays as well as Downing then at the price he will only be an awful failure.
