I always thought there's something wrong with Liverpool fans but never quite knew why, till I see the "Under Contruction" title.

I taught it is 16 million deal, or no?

Somebody should start a poll on the Liverpool transfer target most wanted by the fans. Honda, Mata, Agruero, Jefren, Adam, Downing, Marveoux, Dann or Cissokho?

Who you want most for the coming season or even pay us a visit this July 16th?

sols,

kindly remove caretaker at manager section. KK it's our permanent manager already.

Liverpool FC captain Steven Gerrard says Jordan Henderson can follow in his footsteps

STEVEN GERRARD says Reds new-boy Jordan Henderson can follow in his footsteps at Anfield.

Gerrard has seen his new £16m team-mate at close quarters, having played alongside the 20-year-old with England last November, and believes the former Sunderland man will prove a shrewd acquisition by the club.

"It's a really positive signing," Gerrard said. "Let's hope he is the next Steven Gerrard.

"Liverpool needs a new Steven Gerrard and it will need a new Jamie Carragher. That's what good football clubs do - they replace their best players.

"I saw Jordan at first hand for two or three days with England and he is a good player with energy."

The Liverpool skipper has not kicked a ball since March, having undergone surgery to cure a long-standing groin problem, but admits he is relishing the thought of slotting back into Kenny Dalglish's ever-improving side.

"My groin feels so good just now," said Gerrard, whose last game for the Reds was the 3-1 win over Manchester United on March 6.

"For two or three hours each day I will have to work on my body to make sure I am right,. But I don’t see that as a chore. This is me getting right for Liverpool Football Club.

"I have started doing yoga a couple of times a week as well. It absolutely wipes you out. People who think you turn up and you’re just posing in different shapes should have a go!

"I am enjoying it after the sessions because I am feeling the benefits

"I’ve not kicked a ball for a long time, probably the longest I have gone in my career, and I can’t wait to get back now.

"I am excited about playing under Kenny Dalglish, just like the team did at the end of the season, which was going forward. We were playing with bottle and character and going all out to beat teams. And that always suits my style of playing."

Gerrard will return to Melwood for pre-season training to find increased competition for places in Liverpool's midfield. Dalglish yesterday completed his first signing of the summer, with Sunderland starlet Jordan Henderson arriving at Anfield in a £16m deal.

The captain watched the final game of last season from the away end at Aston Villa, and says the travelling Reds let him know he wouldn't be walking straight back into their side.

"There was a bit of banter flying around," he said. "Stuff like, ‘You won’t get back in the team, Stevie’ and ‘You’ve got a fight on next season, Gerrard, to get past Lucas and Spearo’.

"It was all good natured. But I don’t mind all that. I know what I can do and I know the challenge ahead for me. I welcome all that. Right now, I’m just steaming for a game of football again!"

Gerrard says he enjoyed his day out at Villa Park, despite his side's 1-0 defeat, and says that the Reds' disappointing end to the season will serve as a useful reminder of the work that still remains to be done at Anfield.

"I was a fan for a day," he said. "Carra [Jamie Carragher] had done it a few years ago and I’d had a few letters saying I should go to an away game. It was an eye-opener for me to get in among them. For a young player in our squad, or maybe one of the foreign lads, to have a day like that would really help them.

"Fans absolutely adore the players. Everything is about the players for them, so for a player to give up a day, mix with the fans and give a little back...well, there’s no harm in that.

"I am not putting pressure on anyone, but it is important for the players to have that link with the fans. If this club is going to be successful, everybody needs to stick together.

He added: "Sometimes it is important to stay grounded and have a little reality check. The last two results will help next season because it sends a message to players and fans that we are not the finished article.

"There is still an awful lot of hard work left, but we don’t mind that."

The signing of Henderson, following those of strikers Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll back in January, has triggered the start of a bright new era at Anfield. All three are aged 24 or under, and all could represent Liverpool's future.

For Gerrard, so often the 'go-to' man at Anfield, the arrivals are most welcome, though he rejects the notion that he alone has carried the side in recent years,

He said: "I never believed that anyway because in 2005 when we won the biggest trophy, and I had the best night of my life, we had 14 absolute heroes on the pitch. Don’t forget Neil Mellor and Florent Sinama-Pongolle, who turned the Olympiakos game in the group stage that year or we would have been out,.

"Of course there have been times when I have stood out, but there have been plenty of times when I have looked to my team-mates to help me. If that ‘one-man-team’ thing never gets mentioned again that’s great as it means the team is doing well."

So you thinking of putting in a poll as well? With all the hypes and happenings from the media during this summer transfer window, it is impossible to differentiate rumors from actual targets. What about poll on position that needed strengthening? Vote plus player suggestion (realistic one, of course).
Thanks for noticing anyway..

Funny how right wing doesnt get the same attention as left wing.

IMO both needs class players but i still went with left because our width on the right is provided johnson.

Its as if our left sided players are all cursed with something over the years.

Aurelio,agger,(latest one)carroll always injured.Riera,konchesky,insua,kromkamp and riise just not up to the standards required.

only reliable player we had was arbeloa and Real took him away

we can put kuyt / gerrard to the right since meireles can take the CAM and caroll suarez at the front
left back we have aurellio ( he's good when fit) johnson and Jack robinson
risse is the best left back we had in the past 10yrs bro

Sorry,but i dont like maxi

I really dont know what you guys see in him.

I dont know.When he first signed i thought he would be the solution of our left wing problem.But it worsened.

Thing is he doesnt create chances enough in any of those positions you mentioned.All of those positions require creative and flair players

who can make defence splitting passes.I am yet to see any 'magic' like you said.He took his chances when he scored the two hattrick

but that is role of a ST(kuyt,carroll).He simply goes missing when the team is not playing well.The magic that you said will have to be

coming up with something when the team is playing poorly or unable to penetrate defenses.

I heard he is on 50k a week and that is just wasting a spot for the younger players.LFC needs clear deadwood.

End of the long winded story above,i think we should trade in maxi for aguero

Talk about sitters,i hope you watched the chelsea game at stamford bridge

Exactly my point like u said.Nobody would let quality go on a cheap.

He is past his best.Better to let the youth take over.I doubt he features in first team plan.

Btw,the maxi for aguero thing was a joke.I didnt know you took it seriously.

Ngog,Babel all had potential and scored important goals for us especially against united.

Keane was a proven scorer before he came here but i swear i dont know wad happened to him.

My guess is maxi will be gone before the start of 2012-2013 season latest.
