shake head no no to over valuation and overpaying $ for some players...

this is not about whether we are on the right path. of course we can see things off the pitch are getting right.

why didnt we spent the cash on juan mata, for example? 20m plus minus. downing or mata? why downing? downing have better stats than mata? downing tried and tested in the PL?

i'm glad we are spending the extraordinary, but the targets are just too ordinary. why no one question the wasteful spending? so is this the liverpool way?

why were we wiling to spend almost 100m? do you believe we dont aim for short term success with such amount of spending in such a short time? is this the way to build the future? spending carefully and wisely is the key to any investment policy. yet we have seen a panic spending of 35m overnight. we do have some really wise financial advisors and economists

can we just rest henderson and downing for a few games? probably skrtel too

if players perform, keep them on the pitch. if not, give way to others.

mata was just an example. of course, since we dont have CL football, we lost the appeal factor to a lot of players. shows that in order to attract top players, you need to be a top club. even youngsters also nowadays know how to choose their clubs. with the money spent by our top rivals, its probably seem necessary to the owners that we also need to spend to be successful.

i am too aware of the morientes, veron etc etc case. but lets be frank. if they dont perform, how much resale value do they have? how much are downing and carroll now probably worth? of course, the argument will always be = we may never know. top players could be crap, crap players could turn out good.

the manner of which the signing of carroll was explained did suggest it being a panic buy. as torres handed in the request on the 11th hour, there was an urgent need to find a replacement. this is a fact. hence newcastle were able to get what they got. who would have spent 35m on a player of his age? how many players in the world that are same age with carroll commands such money? probably a few, just the exceptional few. this is why i suggested that we did not have the advantage in the deal and was forced to pay inflated price for him. no matter what KD or the owners said, its a crazy price. 35m is almost enough to get us a much proven player (same age) elsewhere.

which is also why i question the kind of spending on downing, a player not worth 20m in my books. the kind of money could have landed us players like young or agbonlahor

we are trapped in our own obsession with english players, when we had so many youngsters worth their place in the squad and on the field for the sake of rebuilding, youth policy or whatever we like to call it...

we are so contradicting ourselves

King Kenny is human. he wont be always right so dont defend him like he is

agreed, we spend 35mil on Carrol was totally out of desperation and since we bought Carroll we gotta make use of him so we bought "so-called" best cross-ers Downing and Adam to feed him.. but we seen it and it doesnt always work. But of course we dont know whats going on from the inside or what are they trying to do.

I am really impress with Arsenal signed 28 years old Arteta for only 10mil for me just for me i think he is so much better than a 26 years old Adam.

chelsea and liverpool. torres and carroll. so far as it seems, two clubs with foolish spending reaping foolish rewards.

we got lucky with selling torres for 50m but too hastily spent the money. i hope i'm proven wrong regarding carroll. wish so.

remember 'in rafa we trust'? how long did it take for the fans to turn on him and he became one of the few managers we sack for a long time? i'm not suggesting KK = rafa. i just talk what i see

Kenny Dalglish has attacked the "disgraceful" scheduling headache that has left Liverpool playing their Carling Cup quarter-final against Chelsea just 48 hours after their Premier League clash with Manchester City.

The Metropolitan Police has advised against Chelsea hosting the Carling Cup tie on Wednesday November 30 on account of a Trade Unions Congress rally in the capital that day. The fixture has been moved forward to Tuesday November 29, two days after Liverpool host the Premier League leaders.

"It is disgraceful in this day and age that players are being asked to play a key Premier League game and then a League Cup quarter-final in London just 48 hours later," Dalglish told the club's official website.

"It's understandable with the Spurs v PAOK Salonika match and the TUC rally that the Met Police have said that our game cannot be played on the Wednesday. But it's surely the duty of the football authorities to think of other solutions which consider the welfare of the players and this clearly hasn't happened."

Dalglish expressed his sympathy for City, who will find themselves in the same position as they face Arsenal two days after their trip to Anfield and who, like Liverpool, have fielded strong teams in the competition when other sides have used it as an opportunity to rest first-team players.

"Here you have two clubs who have treated this competition with the utmost respect over the years and they are being treated like this," Dalglish said. "I'd be interested to know what the sponsors think of the situation and what it does for the reputation of the competition."

Dalglish also attacked the football authorities for scheduling the quarter-final ties in a week featuring Europa League action.

"It seems totally irresponsible as well that the quarter-finals are scheduled in the same week as Europa League games," he said. "If Stoke had beaten us in the last round and were through to face Chelsea then the tie gets rescheduled for another date - it's as simple as that. But when we ask the Football League to move our game to a later date, we're told it's impossible.

"Where's the logic in that? What would have happened if all four of the English clubs playing in the Europa League had got through to the quarter-finals?"

The Liverpool manager also warned Reds fans that he might be forced to field a weakened side for the Chelsea match.

"If the Football League want to devalue their own competition, that's up to them, but they shouldn't then be upset if people use these games to help in the development of young players.

"The one thing I will say to our fans is to think carefully before buying tickets for the League Cup game because we do not want them spending their money and then we decide there is no other option but to use only young players in the tie."
