Alonso signed 2 years extension with RM

Fergie doesn't like the way he runs

Henderson has been a revelation this season and this is especially encouraging because his best games have come when he was the main man in midfield. When we signed him, there were whispers that he would be Stevie's replacement but it didn't help that Kenny played him wide on the right, turning such notions into a joke. He isn't the most technically gifted player but what he lacks in skill, he makes up for in passion and desire. Ability wise, he's show that he is a competent passer of the ball, often spraying passes the width of the pitch. What I like about him is his attitude. He received high dosses of criticism early in his Liverpool career but he played through the pain barrier and even refused to leave the club when we were trying to flog him, stating that he would fight for his place. Well, he did and he has succeeded.

It isn't mere coincidence that his best form came about when Gerrard was out. Firstly, he gets to take up his preferred central role and he isn't burdened by defensive duties with the more mobile Joe Allen behind him. He struggled with Lucas and Gerrard in the side as neither are particularly quick. In some instances, Henderson was the deepest midfielder even though Lucas was playing in the DM role. That's how much ground Henderson had to cover in a game. Joe Allen isn't a fan favourite but his inclusion allows Henderson to orchestrate play in the opponents half without having to worry about scurrying back if we lose possession. It also allows him the freedom to get up right behind Suarez and alongside Coutinho and he's already shown he's developing an understanding with them. Long may he continue to improve!

Valbuena would be a useful addition. He's quick, technically sound, tenacious and he has a very high workrate which makes him an ideal candidate as we defend from the front and midfielders and strikers are expected to get back to help out.

On transfers, has any club signed anyone yet?

this is liverpool city lol

DONE..

Bayern have pre signed Lewandowski but he will only move in August. Would hate to see another Dortmund/Bayern CL Final and Dortmund forced to play without their star player. It's quite sad to see a team like Dortmund slowly getting dismantled. They have lost Sahin (tho he soon realized his mistake), Kagawa (reckon he will go back to Dortmund sooner or later), Gotze and now Lewandowski to Bayern. RM are said to be interested in Gundogun and loads of teams are interested in Reus. But as long as they are able to keep Klopp, we can always look forward to Dortmund unearthing new gems.

In other news, Honda has gone to AC Milan. Defoe to Toronto and i think Roma are making few changes to their squad.

there you go again, Zenit probably will seal the deal for Salah that can offer double amount of money. Seriously what Ayre smoking over ther. Just pay the money get the deal done. Sigh.

@twtang - "Dunk Know BEST"..

LOL..WTF!!!!

Another AM? Wonder when will Coutinho being put back into his favourite/natural AM position...He had been playing as winger since he came here, I would prefer an established winger more so Coutinho can swift back to mid.

Freaking agreed with U. I thought allen was world class when he & henderson on the same pitch. Only Lucas fail to shone while playing with them.

Valbuena. Our "Maxi MK2". Good additions.

Actually getting either this 4. One of the best Holland Youth Products 4 sometimes & under 8-12mil market.
- Ola John
- Luciano Narsingh
- Jean-Paul Boëtius
- Tonny Vilhena

Allen world class? U took it a little bit too far dude.

Good think we've got a fair number of central defenders in the squad.

Obviously any injury is bad especially when it occurs to influential players but the timing of this one means that clubs may not want to bid for him.

Personally think that Mohamed Salah is miles ahead of Ola John.

Salah provides us that blistering pace much like Navas of Man City, while Ola John is similar to our current fail loanee - Victor Moses.

Any hope of landing Xabi Alonso on cheap is dashed now since he already penned a 2-year extension contract.
Honestly, of all the players we linked, only Salah could add more quality to our current setup. The rest just look like squad players, don't really excites me.

One player that I would really like to see him play in the BPL is Nemanja Matic. Could FSG and BR surprise us all and land him instead?

that pic was actually shown on yahoo before as one of the fail photoshop pic. where got so small

The Valbuena pic is highly deceptive la. Firstly, he's stretching for the ball and is leaning backwards. He's also in the foreground. Lastly, it is Kompany and Fellaini in the pic with him. Both of them are build like titans.

Robin Thicke looks sleepy in that still
