I didnt watch this game but from what I've read so far it seems that l'pool played badly. Really that bad meh? 2nd match and still no win albeit with a lot of youngsters. I really hope they'll play much better in their europa league qualifying game this coming thursday. And hopefully see more senior players in the starting lineup too..like aquilani...haven't the world cup players get enough rest yet??

Liverpool interested in Marcell Jansen

New Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is reportedly keen on Hamburg left-back Marcell Jansen.

The left-back position is the Reds' weakest spot currently - after the exits of Andrea Dossena, Emiliano Insua and Fabio Aurelio.

It is thus natural that the club is being linked to a number of players in that position from across Europe. Hamburg's Jansen is the latest to make the rounds - with Metro reporting Hodgson wants to sign the Bundesliga defender.

Jansen is one of the more versatile players in the German club and can play either as part of the back four or as a defensive midfielder.

With midfield incumbent Javier Mascherano bent on moving to Inter Milan, Jansen would be an ideal signing for Liverpool since he can play either as wing-back or in midfield.

Liverpool have also been linked to Ashley Cole and Sampdoria's Reto Ziegler. While the Cole link is most likely spurious, Metro reports that officials from Anfield have already contacted the Serie A club with regards to making a bid for Ziegler.

It is thought either player would command a price in the region of £8 million.

New rules force Man City to sell 12 players

By Soccernet staff

July 25, 2010

Manchester City will have to offload around 12 players before the transfer window closes at the end of next month - otherwise they will be left with players they are unable to play.

New Premier League rules state that a club must submit a squad of 25 players on September 1, and only those players will be eligible to be named in a matchday squad. Clubs can supplement that list with an unlimited number of players aged 21 or under, but in Manchester City's case they are currently well over the 25-man limit.

Players such as Roque Santa Cruz, Craig Bellamy, Jo, Felipe Caicedo, Micah Richards, Michael Johnson, Vincent Kompany, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Stephen Ireland, Nigel De Jong, Kelvin Etuhu, Pablo Zabaleta and Nedum Onuoha could find themselves out in the cold if they are still at Eastlands when the transfer window closes. Robinho is also officially still a City player.

And City could be forced to accept reduced fees for these players as rival clubs look to take advantage of their situation.

Manager Roberto Mancini said: "I know that we must sell some players because in 20 days [sic] we must have a list with 25 players. I am disappointed because some players must change teams now. It is difficult for them to play for us. When you play in four competitions you must have a large squad because if not you have difficulties. For this it's important we have 25 players."

Unable to be registered for Premier League action, any player omitted from the 25-man squad will be forced to either go out on loan to a Football League club or spend four months kicking their heels until the winter transfer window.

And with City hoping to add James Milner to their ranks in the coming weeks they will have to offload yet another player to make way for the Aston Villa man in their team list.

Eight of the 25-man squad must be 'home grown', meaning they played in England or Wales for three seasons before their 21st birthday. City have no problem fulfilling that requirement.

Chinese businessman Kenneth Huang closes in on Liverpool buy-out
• Sources confirm Kenneth Huang's bid for the club
• Hicks and Gillett would make no profit from proposed deal
i dont like that word administration >.<

A Red in a red outfit coming from a red country buying out the Reds who are now financially in red, in a radical bid, and I just hope that he's got the Red style and not like our red-nosed current owners who are red fuming with anger that they're not making any profits to again put this club in red, or so I hope that I don't see red in this, nor any Red supporter.
Sorry, just had to. Felt like it.

Clock is ticking for Liverpool buyout

Chinese tycoon Kenny Huang has made an offer to buy out the American owners of Liverpool, and has given them 10 days to decide.

According to reports from the Sun, Huang is adamant that if an answer is not given by then, the Chinese billionaire and his backers will simply walk away.

Liverpool is treating him as a serious bidder and chariman Martin Broughton has already opened talks with Huang's group.

The Chinese tycoon has stated that if the take-over is successful his group will make funds available for transfers and also keep key players like Fernando Torres at the club.

He has also assured fans that his group will also plan to get Liverpool's long-term future in order by getting their new 60,000-seater stadium off the ground.

However, the question remains if the Chinese offer on the table is enough to sate the appetites of American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, who are looking to make a tidy profit from their purchase price three years ago, despite their unpopular reign.

If all else fails, Huang could also circumvent the current ownership by simply buying over Liverpool's £237m debt from the Royal Bank of Scotland and use that to ultimately take control.
so now its a win win situation for us?
if they wont be able to buy the club they will buy the debt off LFC which mean they can just force those yank to get out of their club
