i realized our cheapo players always go to 'smaller clubs' comparing to other teams, they go RM BARCA etc...lolx

3 managers and none of em fancied the Dutch, so perhaps another failed purchase by RB, lol

Cheapo??

Mascherano went to Barcelona. Alonso and Arbeloa to Real Madrid. Torres, Reina and Gerrard will probably be welcomed into any Champions League team.

Stop self abasing our team. Our real problem is that we have to a lot more players who are destined to make a downwards move as opposed to an upward one.

Most delicious @ 7mil Euro? Thats like half the price we bought him. Might as well keep him, since the fees not going to help much in pursuing other attackers.

I don't play football manager, so I don't know.

Wages and age are always a stumbling block for bidders.

What is the contract tenure for both of them?

most delicious in terms of age/talent.

I don't know whether Suarez is suitable for Liverpool, but hope he can adapt the EPL playing style and control his temper if he really move to Reds.

Not gonna have high hopes for this guy. We've had many signings this season and many has unproven themselves worthy 'enough' to help our team's crisis. Just something of a caution cause it was almost similar when Joe Cole signed for us and in the end didn't deliver nuts. I hope I'm wrong about doubting Suarez if he does come to Liverpool.

We need new players to create different pattern of play in the field. The combination right now is just not working.

New management, new coach but still our team cant perform well. New players will help to give a different energy in our team although it may contribute little part only. So after getting new players, then KG can sort new play strategy on the field.

dont play joe cole as a winger, play him alongside gerrard, just behind torres

I cannot say I'm surprised but I am saddened to see Babel leave. I've been vouching for him all this while and I've always felt that he deserved a run in the first team. He is big, strong, quick and good on the ball. If anything, its his awareness and reading of the game that needs improvement, and this comes with game time. Ah well, good luck to him in Germany.

He caught my eyes during last year World Cup. He's a good finisher and able to shoot with both feet but he did have attitude problem which most of us here worry about.

I'm sure Babel potential & ability far outweight the 7 mil Euros. If selling ard 10mil GBP will be more accurate to his ability/talent.
If only someone in the backroom can harvest those talents.

Then the formation will be like christmas tree, too narrow & rigid. Christmas tree or diamond works best if there's a pivot at the base like Xavi, Alonso, Pirlo which we have nil.

4321 formation

just throw in a winger or 2 me thinks

Liv Vs Eve

Although im a bit disappointed with the results, but im happy that KD give Kelly and Spearing a role in this game. Rome isnt built in one day, so does we. Did the owner said it will take KD after end of the season?

Suarez

I dont mind if he come to Liverpool and score goals. Jose also a bit arrogant isnt it? But he delivered results.

Babel&Suso

I believe also Babel should give a chance to shine. Maybe in training ground he cant pass our defender?

Suso has a potential to be next Fab/Messi?Inesita? i hope so

and which manager in their right mind would buy konchesky?

roy hodgson at his new club?

really gutted to see babel go. would've preferred to see him go on loan as he does require first team football. if he goes to the german/dutch league, he will be a big hit. i think the suarez deal is on, thats why babel has opted to go, due to even more limited game time. as for the downing and young rumours, no chance villa will be selling them unless we offer silly money. the only deals i see happening are suarez and warnock (whom rafa should never have sold) and perhaps another centreback. anyways good luck to Ryan Babel, he deserves to be playing week in week out. hope to see him return to anfield one day YNWA

new club?no..he's the next england manager!!

F me boys. You can sign a playing contract with your terms and clauses, and if the fee arent agreed between the teams, then it doesnt apply! F me. As Ive said, I have 2 ITK's...if either of them tell me something that is wrong, I wont post thier stuff again.

To clarfiy

ITK 1 - Deal will be done by the end of the week
ITK2 - Playing contract signed fee to be agreed with Ajax.

Dont like it, dont f-ing read it!

Hmm...just curious...with all this talk about ppl leaving and coming etc...who do u guys think should be our starting 11? What formation would you play and why? In my opinion we should play a 4-3-1-2. Currently we don't have any reliable wingers so I'd prefer penetration through the middle. GK - no contest...definitely Reina. Back 4 - tricky; I'd say LB Aurelio, CBs Agger and Carragher/Skrtel, RB Kelly/Johnson. Now in a good formation, I'd say we need a player who breaks up play like Makelele/ Essien and Masch...currently at Liv...maybe only Gerrard can do this? So until we can find a dedicated DM, my 3 CMs would be Gerrard, Miereles and Lucas (?). Joe Cole should play in front of the CMs and strikers probably Kuyt/Torres...with Kuyt doing the hard work and Torres being the finisher...what do u guys think? This also leaves our flanks open for good runs by Kelly/Aurelio...both of whom we know can be wingbacks.
