Doesn't bother me to be honest. Money can buy you metal and glass but it can't buy you memories. Anfield will always be remembered for those special European nights, especially by those who have played in it. Those who lost their lives at the Battle of the Spion Kop peering over the Kop end sucking the ball into the net, the clapping for the opposition, all those famous songs and banners. Anfield isn't ultra modern, it's rustic and has it's own charm. Fergie once commented on how quiet Old Trafford is these days. Anfield's old walls are still shaking. Money can't buy you this either.

If we do move out of Anfield, talk has it that it will be kept as a museum and so it should. Your friends can gloat all they want about having ultra modern stadiums. We may have one of our own in time. This money can buy but the charm and history of Anfield is something they will never be able to buy. Of course all this means very little to anyone who doesn't appreciate history and the past.

You don't drink but if you did, you'd learn a lot by talking to the locals at the Albert. I hung out there the day before the match but it was quite a task trying to understand Scouse.
*
yea , I understand now why they should place the memorial at the back of the stadium . It is means for the convenience for their family members to pay respect as some of them do visit the memorial everyday.

Dont really bother their comments but rather spend more time on the museum reading and looking at the trophies.So bad the museum kinda out of space and Rafa glorious days should be in the stadium as well.

Still trying my best to understand their accent and the Albert is not that happening during off season.Probably it is far from city. Talked to one of the staff yesterday about the league match ticket , she told me the best way to get the tickets is by becoming their member.The cheapest one can cost me around 26.99pounds. Big dilemma now and will try to read more on RAWK forum to find out the other chances.

Does anyone here have membership card for the next season or anyone have experience purchase the tickets from other sources ? biggrin.gif

welcome smile.gif I am lucky enough to land myself there. It is the history and the supporter that keep the stadium alive so dont have a big expectation smile.gif but the experience there definitely better than the other stadium.

QUOTE(madmoz @ Jun 21 2012, 06:59 PM)
Rustic is just a nice way of saying that Anfield is old and a tad run down, Duke smile.gif
Aye to the museum idea, but honestly do you really think that that big a space to be used as a museum is the most effective way to rejuvenate the whole area?
I know the majority would never ever agree, but the most logical, sentiments aside way to move forward would be to share a stadium with the neighbours. Too bad they can't afford to do so without bolting on a tesco to their end biggrin.gif


Added on June 21, 2012, 7:11 pmOh then again, it looks like neither can we. sad.gif
Perhaps we should go marks n spencer?

The tour guide did mentioned bout how the media trying to control everything there. The management and staff from LFC have to wait for the media to release the fixtures to them. In other words , the media get to know first the fixtures and everything since they did alot sponsorship in term of tv revenue and etc. In fact the boot room was purposely converted to conference room to get into media way back in 1990.This show how much we rely to the sponsorship to keep the club financial strong.

Yeah turn back time. It was their first year taking over the club so who knew what would happen ?

halo duke and to everyone here , does anyone know any other sources to purchase a league match tickets? Apparently we need to become a member just to enable us to have the first priority after season tickets to purchase the tickets.

The club come out with a new membership plan call lite member worth around 26.99pounds. Does anyone here have experience purchasing tickets ? I read from RAWK that stated the match tickets will be put on sale on this coming July and November. I assumed this July they will be selling August , September and November matches.

Adryan pm-ed me and told me it is not worth it to get a membership just for a match. Does anyone know the membership can be transferable? Does anyone with membership can help me with this ? So bad rawk didnt allow new member to sign up for their forum , so I have to ask from here.

TQ for reading

I'm going there in September. Unfortunately, no home match during that weekend. Still hopeful if there's Europa league or Leugue cup midweek game though. Might catch them in training at Melwood though:)

liv manu 22nd september? thomas cook are selling it for 150pounds include hotel..good deal imo considering how fast the ticket can be sold out on that match


QUOTE(vreis @ Jul 11 2012, 10:23 AM)
U cant go in Melwood as its restricted. Unless u are lucky & happens to chance into some exec staffs that would like to take advantage of the fact you are asian tourist, then you may have a chance to go in. Otherwise its just looking in from outside.

would be happy enough to have a peek on their training session..might be waiting on the gate and have a closer look on the players and manager would be enough smile.gif

BR needs players that he can work with.

BR need to prove himself more and should be able to work the players given to him. Not changing the whole system of club now. Kuyt and Maxi are gone now and offload carroll ?

Did anyone remember how poor swansea away result ? Play fantastic football at home but terribly in away games.This is BR weakness. Just because BR play fantastic tiki taka football doesnt mean that is the best football system.

See how far Barcelona make it into champion league last season only be beaten by physical players from chelsea team.And who the hell come out and score against chelsea during fa cup final ? It is Andy Carroll. It is good to watch those kind of football but going away from home , we need to win as much set piece as we can. I remember rafa said bout how good Crouchy as an option when it come to away games. Tbh , I am sick sometimes just to watch how spain play in euro , if only Italy play defensively they will won the euro12.

I hope we wont regret it if AC turn out to be a player like zlatan , drogba , cavani or berbatov. Did anyone remember how Arsenal was struggling against team like Stoke City? tiki taka football but poor in set piece , cant win any header until they have to purchase mertesacker. Ppl can say they in higher position than us last season buy TBH , without RVP quality I doubt it.

Actually Le Tallec and Pongolle were given first team opportunities. I remember the former being distinctively average and the latter played well in patches. Pongolle had good pace but that was about it. The fact that neither have made significant waves since leaving suggests we were right to release them.
*
apparently I been reading too much about FSG concern regarding players wages..that is why the rumours of skrtel , agger , carroll . I understand some players maybe overpaid but how can we attract top player if we didnt offer them much. Brendan has said that everyone is available when the right price coming in. Not comfortable at all with this kind of statement.

QUOTE(Yuka Yuka @ Aug 4 2012, 06:22 AM)
I see the pattern now.

Anybody with big wages but without big performances will be sold. Players like Aquilani, Carroll and maybe the injury-prone Agger as well. Aquilani may have lots of potential in store, but the player himself does not 100% commit to Liverpool so that's a no-brainer. Carroll wants to stay, but his current performances does not justify 70k per week. Not when he does not fit in BR's system at all. Agger iinm is running on 70k per week too, class defender but a bit risky since injury prone. Carra to cover should he gets injured? who are we kidding? so if a big team comes in knocking with GOOD money, why not?
*
If a player with Agger qualities is available , I dont think we are the first in the line to sign the player. Kicking all those high wages , it is a good news but considering how big LFC and how many fans they have and we did sign alot major sponsorship ..I dont think we have that much financial problems.

Buying a good talent with low wages is a good idea but it is always a risk for doing that. I read alot of time Agger is commited to this club and again I would like to say this kind of attitude is hard to find nowadays ..we are not playing in major tournament or challenging title this season but player himself is more commited. We should really appreciate him.

QUOTE(redkop63 @ Aug 4 2012, 10:50 PM)
Why BR is so desperate to get rid of Carroll I just don't understand. It looks and sounds as if BR is so determine that he doesn't need Andy's service anymore, what happens if Suarez or Borini is out for a month or two due to injury, it's going to come back and bite him. Who's going to reinforce the attack. he's too gung-ho at the moment to introduce his posssession or tiki-taka football that he claimed to be introducing but i've seen nothing yet of such, certainly not after watching Gomel's game, it 's more like watching an amateur Liverpool team on the field, truly embarassing while the PL is just about 2-weeks away. Doesn't he look at the schedule what are the teams he'll be up against?
*
this concern me very much tho.. and what style would we play against team like stoke city and chelsea that play more defensively..remember how barcelona defeated by chelsea last season just prove that team with high possession wont win the game .. anyone remember how andy carroll brought some difficulties against chelsea defences last season. If plan A didnt work , then we should come with plan B.

Alrite , someone would say andy is in high payroll ..but do we have other options for strong , young target man ? How much does those club pay for drogba , ibrahimovic this type of player? I am not saying andy is the same class with 2 of them but giving his young age and more experience ..I believe he will become great for us and the most important is he willing to fight for his place here and he love being here..that is something money cant buy.

We all know how much BR loves a true professional. Role models like Lucas, Borini and Henderson who train hard and conduct themselves in a professional manner are all put on a high pedestal by Rodgers. Carroll's love affair with chicks and booze didn't go down too well with BR maybe? No thanks to Comolli, the price tag stuck on Carroll's head didn't give him the privilege of developing away from the spotlight, perhaps contributing to his poor form

How can people even suggest us using Carroll as plan B? is 35million pounds and 70k/week what you'd pay for a plan B? Perfectly logical at Etihad Stadium but we're not using oil money fellas. I'd much rather move him on and make good use of the money we'd get for a faster, more skillful plan B or even a first team player at that. 19 million is a lot of money for Andy Carroll. You simply cannot deny that 6 months ago.
*
I am not sure he still with the booze and chicks around this time but afaik he stop doing that long time ago. If you considering plan B by other teams , you will know how poor we are in that department.

Manu- hernandez and berbatov or even owen in their plan B

Chelsea- Torres , Lukaku (I dont think he is better than Andy) , Sturridge

Arsenal -Chamakh (perhaps the team without any plan B but I would tell you Arsenal are lucky because Van persie hit top gear and rarely injured last season , personally I think they wont be in that place if RVP is out most of the time )

Tottenham - defoe , adebayor - big fat pay

The thing that annoyed me is the talk bout the wages , if you watch the match against spurs in Boston , majority are liverpool fans .This show how strong our fan base and how much money they can earn based from LFC name. Financially we are quite strong now despite lack of money from major tournament (champion league) , but we are still talking bout to remove the top paid players from our club. Andy is binded with 70k contract for 5 years mean he will get the same pay for nxt 4 years.

QUOTE(Yuka Yuka @ Aug 5 2012, 03:00 AM)
not purely on wages buddy. but big wages with no performance deserves the boot.

I gotta be honest with you Aquilani looked really good the last time they came to Malaysia. But his performance in the recent friendlies were not as convincing. He has lost the touch and love for our club. Why force him to stay?

Or maybe you're talking about Carroll? potential? yes. Talented? not really. Worth the price tag? why not cut our losses and actually get somebody with better speed and technical skills? we're not going to pump the ball up the field very often
*
at this moment I dont see anyone young and talented yet. Dont start it with any random brazilian or south american . I think Andy has a good record with Newcastle and last season he just cant get the right supply from the midfield. Every team got at least a good target man either to attack or defence the lead.

Manu - berbatov
spurs - adebayor
chelsea - drogba

you know what... the only clubs without high earners are... midtable and bottom half table clubs... big clubs need to have big mentality. selling off players based on wages just dont make sense... but of course.. at the moment we are... a midtable club...
*
I would say in term of financially and popularity we are more than that . I fully understand a new manager come with his own system and tactic and he deserved to be given sometime to prove himself. I dont think it is wise for him to said that every player will be available if the right price is being offered. No player bigger than the club , but we need a strong and quick fix to start our foundation and selling our top player wont help.

Portuguese international Ricardo Quaresma linked with Liverpool
2012-08-05 02:20:37

Besiktas's Portuguese international Ricardo Quaresma, has been linked with a move to the English premier league.

According to various Turkish sports media outlets, Liverpool are preparing an €8 million bid for the flamboyant winger.

The Reds new manager Brendan Rodgers is understood to be a fan of 28 year old Quaresma and has marked him out as a replacement for Dirk Kyut, who moved to Fenerbahce last month for €2.85 million.

Quaresma made 38 performances for Besiktas last season and contributed with 7 goals and 11 assists.

Dagger will most probably be gone as Man City's resources is not drying - up anytime soon, but agreeing to part with 20mil, if we were to believe what the tabloid says, is very poor in business sense. Clubs are asking us for 15m for a so-so player while we're agreeing to 20m mil for a world class player. I'd not let go for anything less than 30m, let them negotiate it down to maybe 28. One would say I'm greedy but dealing with the oil sheikhs which has a bottomless pit of resources when to take capitalize if it's not now.
*
I dont think it is wise to trade dagger with cash even they offered us adam johnson . I like tat guy but he cant even get a match ahead of nasri and the others while dagger is our main player in defense. Andy and dagger are not the problem to the club , I think it is manager and coach responsibilities to bring out the best from the players. Not to disrespect our manager but he dont have the right to sell or tell anyone that andy cant fit into the system while he didn't work with Andy yet.
