i really hope mata will come to us, not arsenal..fingers crossed.

almost 30m bid for mata

how can we beat that?

It's Okay To Say Kenny May Be Wrong

Selling Raul Meireles and buying the likes of Stewart Downing and Charlie Adam is not going down brilliantly with Liverpool fans

am getting a sinking feeling that while finally lfc can get a bit of $$ to spend compared to those days, our rivals (seemed) to have outspending (us) on some key talents.

its still early months, i know....

chelsea, man city, manu are 2 steps up with purchasing power, now gunners are seemed to be shifting a notch up

I've been reading a lot of complaints from LFC fans all around the net lately regarding our choice of purchases, our over-valuation of them as well as the imminent sale of Fans Player of the Year Raul Mereiles. I think we should all accept the fact that we're not playing some football manager game. This is real money we're dealing with, real players that come and go. Every little thing you do affects the club (as so obviously portrayed by Roy Hodgson)

Assuming that everything I have read on the net is NOT a smokescreen (regarding the recent focus on Adam and Lennon) and is somewhat true to a certain degree, I would like to think that Kenny may be playing 4-5-1 with 3 holding midfielders and not the 4-4-2 everybody has been speculating about. This is probably how it looks like

----------------------------------------Pepe-------------------------------------

-Glenny/Flanagan----Carra/newCB----Dagger/Skrtel----Clichy/Robinson-

------Gerrard/Henderson---------Lucas/Matuidi------------Aquilani/Adam---

-Lennon/Kuyt---------------------------------------------------Suarez/Downing--

-------------------------------Carroll/Wickham---------------------------------------


now I know some of it sounds ridiculous say for example we paid 16m for Henderson and prolly the same amount for Downing there's no way on Earth they'll be rotated as frequently as I have portrayed. But sorry folks this is what I can envision at the moment.

Why are we paying over the odds for seemingly mediocre players who only plied their trade in the top flight for only a couple of years? 35m for Carroll and now 16m for Henderson. that's 51m, more than enough to buy somebody seemingly more exciting like Neymar from Santos. but let's not forget that we're not competing in Europe next season (and no, Europa League isn't going to help our reputation much) so who do the fans expect to come over to Merseyside? Juan Mata? whom just about every big club has their eyes on? Rumor has it that even Barcelona has him on their tabs. I say let's not get too enthusiastic boys...

Also, 1 thing I've noticed is that a lot of hopeful fans are still banging on about challenging for the Premier League trophy next season. I believe Kenny has already stated somewhere that the main aim is to achieve qualification for European football through league standings and anything more than that is a bonus. Yes it's good to be optimistic but what LFC needs the most now is for the fans to be REALISTIC. For too long LFC fans have been living in the past and still think with a couple of world-class signings we'll be owning everyone again. People who know King Kenny understands that the great man has a knack for buying mediocre players who DO THE JOB. Instead of focusing more on individual talent, I believe Kenny sees what we the fans don't which is how every single player can fit and complement each other perfectly when they play together week in week out. 16 big ones for Henderson might look like a lot to you right now but I'm very confident that few years down the road we will all appreciate what we have. The lad's only 21 this year!

I think paying a few more million for English players are fine because there is no denying that their English nationality does affect who we can register in the competitions we compete in. So what if you think some players are over-rated? If we don't go for Adam, Lennon, Henderson who can we go for? Foreign players always pose a risk that they might not fit in well with the rest of the squad especially when everybody eats different dishes and tells different jokes. And as somebody mentioned here, Liverpool in England would be the equivalent of Johor in Malaysia. Add the soggy dull weather to the list and you see that you must really love Liverpool to play for us.

Once again, I think the whole theme for this summer's transfer market is one word - future. What the players can do for LFC for the next 10 years is more important than what they can do for a couple of seasons. I'm feeling good now whatever Kenny does, because I know that Kenny really knows what he's doing. I trust his decisions.

Not to forget, why are we selling Mereiles you say? If I'm not mistaken I think Mereiles is on a contract of 40k/week currently and the previous management promised to improve his terms of contract should he perform well enough in his first season. Sure enough he did but he's already 28 this year with only a few years to play before his value greatly reduces. Since we're already undergoing a total reconstruction now why not perform it full-scale? Sell the aging senior foreign players and replace them with young promising English players. Most importantly, players that Kenny he himself chose.

Here's cheers to a future world cup winning England squad with Liverpool players left right top down in it!

May i know, LFC Asia Tour ticket still available? I need 2 to 3 RM 108 or RM388 ticket. PM me if any of you still have it. Helping my uncle to get it. Thanks very much! YNWA Malaysian reds!!!

I second that. We are just starting, and top four would be a realistic aim. I believe we will get on hold of the trophy. The only thing is when. It is good to win the premier league, but it would be better to get on hold of it .... like forever! haha

I hope we are building a team good enough to win something for England. Not that I cheer for Enland, but it is good for Liverpool to be the "barca" of England .
hahaha

Waiting for announcement of another signing (hopefully Mata) as MU near to clinch their 3rd signings this summer...

Any words on Adam's deal? Are we closing on Downing & Adam?

yuka i m not gonna dispute anything u said except for the last line.

England will never win anything.It's something i can't explain in words but i know they wont win anything.At least in my lifetime.

LOL! Sorry England fans, I concur with Rotuham.

Not really, Liverpool outbid Man Utd in the Phil Jones transfer. It's just that the player chooses to go to Man Utd.
Just saying

Well, i have some good news for you guys again.U can pose a question for one LFC player of your choice.If shortlisted,your question will be asked when they are

here in KL in a Q&A session i think.I posed a question for Dagger regarding fans.

So all the best.May your question be asked on the day

Edit: I suggest that you guys try for the less 'popular' names coz i guess everyone will be submitting gerrard,suarez,reina,carragher and carroll.

The Sun claims that Downing deal has been turned off? Although i don't believe The Sun, they also stated that we are bidding 20m for Lennon?

How true is the above, time will tell..Still waiting on Adam's deal. Hope we hear something to cheer us up in the morning..

refer here, someone selling off.

wow this is interesting. damn i so wanna ask a ques to either lucas or luis but both of them aint gonna be here ! btw, anyone has any idea where is the meet n greet session ? as far as i know, courts and also one world's ballroom ?

zzz...i bet LSCM will monopolise the whole place and wont even let anyone else step foot nearby...

I dunno about them.In fact it was one of those guys victor huang i think who invited me to the event on facebook and gave me the link.

This question is online and by standard chartered so i think LSCM doesnt have any say in this.

Can you elaborate based on your experiences?I don't know much about them.
