QUOTE(account_manager @ Jun 28 2011, 04:09 PM) i think, unless the owner can sell Aqua, Cole, Ngog, Konchesky, Poulsen, Jovanovic.. then only the owner would go for more players to buy.. I think Aquilani could play some part for Liverpool while Ngog should be heading to Sunderland (hope he isn't demand too much on his wages). The rest of those deadwoods are still to be trimmed. Let's see what offers are coming in for them when the European market open on July. maybe yes.. maybe not.. Added on June 28, 2011, 4:45 pm QUOTE(mamet @ Jun 28 2011, 04:40 PM) no hope d ..

I am very concerned that they are actually thinking of off loading Meireles. I really hope he stays and if he does, the fact that LFC were willing to sell him will put him off and turn out to be another Alonso case

QUOTE(Yuka Yuka @ Jun 27 2011, 09:36 PM) 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) I drew the parallel comparison between Liverpool and Johor. Not exactly places I'd want to live in. 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! I mentioned before that the reason I don't get drawn into discussion involving transfer speculation is exactly because people talk about it as though they are playing Football Manager. I mean how much do we really know about the players we are linked with? It's easy to rate Liverpool players because we watch them play week in and week out but when it comes to someone like Neymar, our knowledge is very much limited to youtube videos. "Let's buy him, let's buy him". How much do you really know about him? I don't know much personally. As for selling Mereiles, I'm against this one. Sure I trust King Kenny, but even when he was playing like crap under Hodgson who had no idea where to field him, Jonno and I already earmarked him as our best player. He had a good world cup. No surprise he was crowned player of the year by our fans. We all saw the talent, and by ALL I mean everyone but Hodgson who apparently thought his best position was anywhere but central midfield. He was especially brilliant in the absence of Gerrard and we're targeting to sell him for what? A profit of 2 million quid? I don't know about this one. I'd keep him. You mentioned earlier that Henderson is only 21 and it's arguable if he'll command a regular place ahead of Gerrard, Spearing or Lucas. We haven't signed Adams yet so let's base this discussion on what is and not what might be. The basis for the sale of Mereiles is what? That he may be deemed a surplus? Even if we sign Adams, I'd rate him as second only to Gerrard in terms of quality so I'm wondering why suggestions are that he'll struggle to get into the team. On the issue of signing British or English based players, I say go with what you're familiar with. King Kenny's been working with young players a lot and he knows better than anyone else who has potential and who doesn't. Also with the thread of the impending 6+5 rule looking, it's probably best to brace ourselves. This post has been edited by Duke Red: Jun 28 2011, 05:42 PM |

Good read on the prospect of Meireles leaving.
QUOTE For Liverpool fans it all seems painfully familiar. In 2008 the popular, likeable and classy Xabi Alonso was informed by manager Rafa Benitez that he was surplus to requirements. The Spanish manager made a not-very-secret bid to sign Gareth Barry as Alonso's replacement but the two clubs failed to agree a price for the England man. It was the footballing equivalent of wanting to trade in your Lexus for a Volvo. The seeds of Alonso's departure were sown that summer and the terrace-favourite left for Real Madrid the following year, hastening Liverpool's slide out of the top four. Meireles may not be in Alonso's league - but he's not far off. Liverpool fans have gone into this summer salivating at the prospect of new signings to excite, much like the acquisition of Luis Suarez did in January. But expecting the likes of Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson to take Liverpool to that 'next level' and help break the Premier League curse requires a leap of faith from supporters.

QUOTE Liverpool midfielder Raul Meireles will ask the club to improve his contract after being deemed a success in his first season on Merseyside, according to The Guardian. The Portuguese international joined from Porto last summer on a rumoured £30,000 a week contract but was promised a summer review of those terms if he adapted well to the Premier League. QUOTE Adam's eventual arrival from Blackpool is expected to seal Raul Meireles's fate with the Portuguese midfielder understood to have failed to agree a fresh contract extension. This is the info I got from various news, there is some problem with Meireles contract extension. If it was true, then I would be very disappointed with the way Liverpool treat Meireles. |

Hopefully, the rumours we hear aren't true. Hopefully its just Media BS about Meireles. Hopefully the management didn't tell Meireles like what Rafa did to Alonso in his face.
I was excited about the prospect of a Portugal player playing for us. After everything we saw from the world cup, there are a promising lot. But again King Kenny =/= Rafa. I respect everything he does as long as its good for the club. And i really do hope we do not jump to conclusions really fast. Relax. We are Liverpool. Unless its official on the site and everywhere, i wouldn't want to listen to any rumours for now. Regarding Duke Red, Actually, to me, i drew similarities between Liverpool and Kelantan. Very very vocal, very very proud. And with their own accents. Only thing is see familiar with Johor is the crime which doesnt say much. My last day there i saw in the papers about Taxi Drivers getting robbed. This post has been edited by visionary1993: Jun 28 2011, 06:32 PM |

If it was true, then I would be very disappointed with the way Liverpool treat Meireles. Apparently, he took a pay cut to join us. His performance alone means that he deserved a new deal and an improved one. Anyway, the promised made was by previous board before arrival of FSG so cant really blame FSG for not fulfilling something they didnt promise, aye? |

Although we have Henderson or possibly Adam(48 hours), we still need experience player which has played with the top level like Meireles. |
