hello~ YNWA

No transfer news yet .. 2nd wahahaha

I'mma fix the white box of YNWA and first page soon....

aih. kagawasan is a good buy i might add

well, we invested in some talent before kinda cost us quite a bit, unfortunately didn't blossom as much as we liked.

maybe a go at the lower rungs of minor or non leagues may unearth some gem stones.



I know some may accuse of us of having little faith, i don't want to sound like a party popper, i'm a realist.

What lies ahead for LFc will be difficult. We all acknowledge that next season ManC, ManU, Arsenal, Chelsea are in front in the group for players destination (A list players and big talent). Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle comes next.

Hopefully next season, we'll have some hogwarts magic to help us to somewhat cast away "hit the post syndrome"

adam johnson please

Well you can group arsenal with us too.Their lack of winning culture and refusal to spend big says otherwise.
If you have proper scouts you can unearth some gems like you said and of course a ''best player possible'' instead of a ''white british only'' policy.If newcastle can get players like papiss cisse,demba ba,cabaye and united can get hernandez for meagre amounts i think it's down to their scouts.

Gylfi Sigurdsson: Liverpool may bid says Brendan Rodgers

source

i think there are talent(s) out there. i sure our scouts have recommended or have a list of 'potentials' our there. its a business of combining what & how you want them to fit into the play system but ultimately "the draw (allure) of the club/city of interest" will decide if the player is interested.

Arsenal is in city of bright lights, incredible social escapade for young minds seeking the comforts after a game or training's. so in that sense, it a notch ahead of us (and a place like the city of newcastle, etc)

i'm sure gylfi sigurdsson (the ?????? player) will join us once the tug of war has settled (it's all down to money i suppose) or it the matter of; will we be sensible or downright reckless with it I think it should be the former after all the slap of reality of our previous outrageous outlay vs the likes of transfers of newcastle, swansea, tottenham (?)


i think i know where BR knows our weakness on the current squad hence the look into reinforcement in the midfield, (amongst the telling) and a notable player with a eye for goals (perhaps striker?)

Throughout the whole of last season, we were unable to show authority and aggression or pretty much impose 'hurt'. Dominating or passing amongst ourselves without a final telling pass isn't going to win games but it sure do look good (& score big points for a player) statistically.

Liverpool got e Echo Arena, Liverpool One and Liverpool Waterfront..all of them a great place for me..especially during summer..fake beach at Liverpool One.. and Lobster Pot Liverpool..I know..this is just a small restaurant..fast food restaurant..but good food Hahahaha

hmm so there will be no DoF for Liverpool?? if no then the transfer will be control by BR..I think he will go with potential rather than star signing..

instead of DoF,they'll appoint a group of people..BR included...so its not ONE person job but it is shared by a group of people

semi boot room i guess (on possible transfers)

yeaaa...with people who dont wear football boots

the same with us..except we only got one..and liverpool got a few..

now many club restructuring the hierarchy within the club..chelsea now suddenly the signing control by our DoF..that is why 2 signing already without manager..

a group handling a club is very much democratic hahaha..at least they know what to do and to focus on.. not everything on the manager...

miss out this word 'probably'



you been there, you know (not that i have lived there but from friends). But i'm sure it probably boils down to individuality of the person. but if an offer(s) comes, (pay aside), chances are social comforts will become a forefront in consideration. I'm not saying city of liverpool is a prison/dull devoid of color, in fact it's an olde city, incredible amount of historical buildings etc. The allure is different.

i get it.. the capital must have a better attraction but still liverpool is great..some part..was scary but the city area just awesome.. ..i never been to manchester..but i friend said that manchester just like housing area of damansara..

well, we may have our "first" signing

"I know there are three types of supporters at every club," he added.

"Number one is those who, no matter who the manager is, they love their club and they will love their manager whoever it is because Liverpool is their life and their passion and they love their club.

"The second group is supporters who will accept you but to earn their real respect you will have to be successful. That's fine.

"The third group are the critics and you never change them ever. If you win four nil it should have been five. If you win the league it should have been three.

"I will never worry about that group because you can never affect them. If you do a good job you are proving them wrong but they can't be proved wrong so they will kill you even more.

"I only want to work with the people who love the club. I have always had good relations with the media and with the supporters.

- Brendan Rodgers -

Which type of supporter are you?

YNWA.

i'm pretty sure we, or most of us fall in the category of 1 & 2. After all the bickering, debate, some unwarranted name calling amongst the forumers here, we are still here.


i dont think we've been successful in recent times or as in the past decade or two to be associated with number 3 type of fans (god forbid!!) unlike a certain other club which the whole world knows about

GYlfi vid...looks like he can score distnt goals



Walau...he score against us in the FA cup before playin for Reading!

This post has been edited by prophetjul: Jun 6 2012, 10:16 AM

i hope this euro brendan will sign schurrle before any team get him... much more like scorer type of ozil

players i would like us to sign...

1. Gylfi Sigurdsson (AM partner with Gerrard) - 7m

2. Keita/Jordy Clasie (CM as backup for Lucas..Clasie can also play with Lucas) - free/8m

3. Theo Walcott ( FW..last year of his contract..liverpool fan..right side of the front 3) - 10m

4. Luuk De jong/Andre Schurle/Huntelaar ( ST as backup or compete Carroll for 1st 11) - 10-15m???



players i would get rid off...

1. Charlie Adam (not fit with Rodgers game plan..slow & lazy) - sell 5m

2. Aquaman (woud love to see him here..but his heart isnt) - sell 6m

3. Jay Spearing (good player but not at the level we want) - sell 3m

Look like can suit that "modest budget"... IF it is the correct figure...

we can only assume..but the first one should be correct..as long as Hoffenheim dont change coz its liverpool

Sounds promising, hopefully he chooses us.

After watching Gylfi Sigurdsson, i am reminded of Steviie

Except for tackling, he .....shoots from distance....foraging runs to box......scores from freekicks
They look the same build as well

Added on June 6, 2012, 11:29 amNice.....

Is Keita free? Many will want him.
i rather Affelay than Walcott.

Not sure of Schurle? Whos he? YOu wont get Hunter for 10mil......

This post has been edited by prophetjul: Jun 6 2012, 11:29 AM

sorry i'm confused with Diame...Keita should be available for couple of million..as for Affelay, think the new coach wants to have a look at him




Schurle played for Leverkusen...the club where Hyypia is

Didn't Diame said his transfer to Liverpool broke down after Kenny was sacked ? Can't remember where i read it.

Yes, read he is in deep negotiation with Malaga

Chelsea's signings controlled by DoF whilst DoF controlled by Abramovich. So I guess its not one-man lol. Just hope your impending manager won't discard them like Mourinho did with Shevchenko.

Added on June 6, 2012, 1:13 pmSchurle is rated very highly, definitely 20-30 mil pounds

This post has been edited by Cloud0890: Jun 6 2012, 01:13 PM

why sell spearing? you can't get much of value with his transfer fee, and his salary is probably peanuts compared to the rest.

I believe Gylfi Sigurdsson definitely in !

Adam Johnson or Affelay plz...

there's something i've always wanted to ask re. downing's double zero... (since everyone is using it as a giant bat to belittle his selection ), does anyone has the stats for chances created instead? seems unfair to merely use assists... you could play the perfect pass to say Carragher in front of the opponent's (in b4 someone jokes about him and own goals) goal, and in all likelihood Carragher will sky it, hence no assist?

or am i mistaken?

solstice surely gonna be happy..still remember not long ago he/she wanted Gylfi

Personally fancy Afellay too. He's very tricky yet offer great teamwork with his passes and always have an eye for goals.

If we can lure Afellay from Barcelona, that's a really great job from the scouts & recruit team. Well, we can only dream.

Since Brendan Rodgers only have limited fund for transfer, will he scout hidden talent that require a little polish and he will be a star types of player..?

Does any1 still remember that Liv are the 1st one to spotted C.Ronaldo when he is still young, that is why Liv doesn't have the guts to invest on a young boy, then later he joined Man.U..

Wrong, she wans Insua back........

ooo really??...but Gylfi much more handsome laaa

Yeah, Houllier spotted him first before Fergie. Gave up the chance to sign him due to wage scale.

to her, Insua is nice to hug and hold cause Insua is shorter........

and Insua's speed burst is faster, i presumed.......

Yea yea..that is really like a piece of diamond slipped of his hand..

Like this?

I can think of a few instances where Downing delivers a great cross only for Carroll to miss spectacularly.

One of my friends met Stevie, Andy and Jordan at Liverpool Lime Street yesterday.

I'm so jealous.

These idiots need to be smacked in the head with a baseball bat.After all the trouble and controversy this SOB can come up with this

http://www.rafabenitez.com/web/index.php?a...ioma=in&co=1613

Rafa on Kuyt

YWNA Dirk 18 Kuyt!

Clarke leaves!

Steve Clarke has left Liverpool, the League Managers Association have announced, as the clearout at Anfield continues.

wth..no ppl told me bout that ..I am now in liverpool..how I wish I could meet them , especially stevie coz I dont get the chance last year when he is not coming =(

do you have any pictures to share ?

Even Kevin Keen has left.

Thank you Steve Clarke for everything you have done here. The defence greatly improved ever since his arrival and for a very poor Premier League season by our standards and the fact that Pepe Reina had a bad time in goal, it's amazing we were still joint 3rd best defence in the league.

All the best for the future, both Steve and Kevin.


Well .. I stole it off his Facebook but I'm going to shade his face out LOL





I'm wondering where Glen Johnson, Stewart Downing and Martin Kelly as I assumed they'd all had left Liverpool together.

your fren studying there now? coz I was under tarc summer programme as well now..in LJMU..so bad I dont get the chance to meet the players

Liverpool players all so good looking...

If only AC9 would crop his hair. Hmmm......

omai im jelly with those pic..
its one of my dreams to meet em

"A footballer is leaving Liverpool but above all they are losing a good person, an excellent professional, a great example for all to follow" -Rafa on Kuyt

it is good for kuyt and liverpool

i think we will get sigurdson. hope we will get winger and left back too..or right back..

this issue again. dont think anything wrong with it.

I've got a question for those who think adam and downing will come good next season.What is your reasoning for that and what if they turn out the same as last season?

I jsut realised this, I share the same birthday with Brendan Rodgers

when we can have more possession and make good use of it, thus giving them less defensive works.
but we'll see how hard the team gonna be pressing w/o the ball since BR stated hard work is an obligation for him, not a choice.

BR also share the same birth date with Mourinho.
So when are you gonna move into football managing field?

This post has been edited by Yluxion: Jun 7 2012, 04:37 PM

The only team I am managing right now is Oxford City in FM2012

as someone has already posted.
http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news...ost-lfc-chances

so yea, look beyond the actual stats, and see all the chances they created.
then decide who to blame again, adam and also downing for not having any assists, or the toothless attack for not being able to convert them? as well as hitting the woodwork everywhere? and which in LFC history IIRC ranks this team as the 3rd lowest ever scoring since formation in 1892.

I believe Joe Cole will benefit under the management of BR. Hopefully we can get Aquilani here too to make the best from his tactics.

We are eyeing for Dempsey as well. Good goal poacher and available at 4 mil??

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/media-watch...ns-double-swoop

He's not studying there but I think his sister is cause he said he's just visiting his sister.

Well, you could hang around Cafe Sports England and Carragher is bound to appear there! I met him there once.

somebody told me Mohamed Diame is already on the way to Liverpool? rumors?

what a stupid rumour.. I don't think he is capable for the reds...

haha ,alrite.. since you been to anfield b4 , any tips for purchasing tickets or not? I know many scammer outside there selling at high price and I am really looking forward to watch a match there =) thanks in advance !

Maxi Rodriguez has left Liverpool & re-signed for his old club Newell's Old Boys.

Nope, Maxi hasnt left us

Thursday’s LFC Transfer Rumours: Sigurdsson latest and £16m Johnson swoop
By This Is Anfield On June 7, 2012 · 81 Comments · In LFC News
48

Liverpool could be set to swoop for Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson after negotiations over his proposed £6.8million move to Swansea City broke down.

New Reds boss Brendan Rodgers was set to sign Sigurdsson after an impressive loan spell at the Liberty Stadium, but the deal is set to have been put on hold following Rodgers’ move to Liverpool.

Now Rodgers is keen to steal the highly-rated 22-year-old from under the noses of his former club, and Sigurðsson himself has now opened the door to a move to Anfield.

“It’s just unclear at this moment where I will play,” he told mbl.is in his homeland.

“I expect not to stay at Swansea because of the uncertainty going on there as it is not clear who is boss.

“I have said that my desire to continue playing in the Premier League and Liverpool is completely considered.

“Liverpool is a big club that has a glorious history.

“English Premier League is the platform that I want to be and hopefully is that I continue to play in that division.”

He added, “I got in touch with Brendan when he was appointed Liverpool manager.
“I wish him congratulations and thanked him for a great time at Swansea.”

Meanwhile, the Reds have been linked once again with Manchester City winger Adam Johnson and a £16million bid could be on the cards, according to Caught Offside.

Johnson has struggled to claim a Man City first team place as their squad has been built with the cream of European footballing talent.

But Rodgers may see him as a great replacement for Dirk Kuyt, who left for Turkish club Fenerbahce earlier this week after six years at the club.

ManU have Kagawa AND Luka-Modric

Arsenal have Podolski

Chelsea have Hazard, linked with Hulk (favoured)

Liverpool linked to gylfi sigurdsson, adam johnson

Man City haven't lifted the cheque book yet

Adam Johnson & Glen Johnson combo down the right flank..... sounds good

The adam johnson news is certainly encouraging.....its been a long time since Liverpool have a proper right winger......

man city basically dont need any more signings and can enjoy for many years to come. kudos to spending and reaping rewards

They don't need, but it doesn't mean they don't want.

Dzeko, Tevez, Johnson or Balotelli anyone?

dzeko + johnson will burnt our budget completely...and we'll be back to square one coz lack of depth

Sounds like a defensive disaster!

Added on June 8, 2012, 10:33 amWhat I would really like to see would be a midfield trio of Lucas, Henderson and this fella we are supposed to be stealing away from Swansea. Under BR it'll probably be crisp short passes and nifty movement from one end to another!

This post has been edited by madmoz: Jun 8 2012, 10:33 AM

no gerrard???...come onnnnnnnnn

well cruyff did say that he would have played kuyt at RB

anyway am sure with the right instructions and discipline, that flank can work out just fine. plus, BR's tactics also include covering for each other and we are in the market for speedy and crafty wingers dont we?

I always wanted Balotelli to join...

Adam Johnson has always been slated by Mancini for not playing to instructions, not adhering to tactics and not working hard enough for the team. So he work ethic and work rate can be questioned. Applying this to BR's high pressure passing football? Will Johnson be willing to close down all over the field like Kuyt did? Will he be willing to pass the ball instead of performing a one man show down the flanks? Glen and Adam Johnson sounds like a defensive calamity to me.

Big talent no doubt, have always admired his playing style. A true winger, with flair and dribbling ability, stark contrast to Downing, the last one we had was probably Riera or Pennant for similarities sake in terms of attitude lol. He worked at City with Micah at right back, will it work for us?

Could be a decent signing if the fee is right and his wages at City could be very high for even a role player like him, will he be willing to accept lower wages and come to a club that is not challenging the title, no CL, no star players?

I don't know about reaping rewards. They made a nett loss despite winning the Premiership because they pay players more than they earn. This will come to bite them in the ass during the 2013-2014 season as according to a Deloitte representitive, teams who don't abide by Financial Fairplay during that season will be banned from UEFA sanctioned tournaments.

Speedy and crafty = somehow that sounds pleasing
