Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20

Yeah the money floating around brit players at the moment is pretty staggerring and it looks like the Henderson deal almost done for $20m

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jun/06/jordan-henderson-liverpool-sunderland?

I guess that he's only 20yrs old, if Kenny and Clarke can get his full potential and he sticks around for 5yrs then it's worth it. Same with the likes of Phil Jones (apparently at Melwood last night) and also Wickham who looks a prospect.

I don't think we'll see the foreign players targeted for a few more weeks yet. Don't their transfer windows open in July?

Finally some commonsense from Barret:

Ah well, bolster the sqaud a bit, hopefully bring in one proper top class signing, and we'll be doing alright. Have a real go at that top four, which has to be the target next season. Henderson/ Downing aren't gonna set the world alight, but defo add something different to the sqaud. Same with Jones. Possibilities, no?

May not set the world on fire but statistically speaking they're not half bad. They certainly stack up (if not outshine) the elite. Check out the PFA player of the year - valued at $40squintillion pounds...

The confirmed Asia Tour fixtures are as follows:

Wednesday July 13 - Guangdong Sunray Cave v Liverpool FC in the Tianhe Stadium, Guangzhou. 8pm kick-off local time.

Saturday July 16 - Malaysia XI v Liverpool FC in the Bukit Jalil Stadium, Kuala Lumpur. 5.45pm kick-off local time.

I can't wait for the Copa America on sky but it sucks that our South American lads won't get a good pre-season in.

Wow we have a LOT of centre midfielders huh? Hoping on Mata

Talk of wilson going back to Rangers too?

Jeffren? Someone wants a better Barca contract by the sounds. Don't think i'd say no to him though...

Yeah, I don't think he will come.. Wickham, Henderson, Jones? And Doni as back up keeper? Back in for Adam?

Apparently Henderson deal is agreed... Yes, I should be studying, but RAWK transfer forum is addicting!

Twitter meltdown!

Good on Ngog if he goes to Sunderland. he should do well there. Nice one Comolli too for keeping the price down and making Ngog worth around $7m! $6.5 profit. Never doubted Comolli for a second...

Yeah, next up Wickham to replace Ngog! Excite! Doing our business so early..

Bring Jones in too!

^I thought so to at first but to be fair - $13m for a homegrown, Eng u21 player, big potential and also selling Ngog as part of a deal worth $20m is pretty good business.

It's probably how a few of the deals will be done, offering players to clubs to bring the cash aspect down. Get the fringe players out and off the wage books.

Jones, Downing, Enrique, Adam, Wickham and hopefully Mata and we've got some good foundations for the future.

Hopefully next! Snap him up before he heads away with the u21's too?



I can't believe how positive we're sounding at the moment. What's changed at 'Pool?!

Official now, fee agreed for Henderson. Medical tonight.

That means he's worth �20m, not �13m.

I'd hate to think how much you would have paid if you didn't have Comolli there picking up the bargains.

New Signing!!

imagine if hodgson had paid 35mil for carroll and 20mil for henderson

missed out on jones......rated him as a good prospect

Jones came down to the wire! Damn Manc's upped the deal.

Ah well, plenty more targets to snare. Who's the next choice CB? Dann or a continental?TheKop2011-06-09 08:37:16

Yeah, fking Mancs! They are defo getting a good player there, and he's not even 20. Gah... Yip, think its Dann or maybe Cahill? Fk it, may as well go all out and go for Hummels or Subotic?

Welcome to Melwood!

Reports out today suggested we actually had Jones signed yesterday but then he changed his mind as he wanted to stay up in the depressed north.

Not too fussed about Jones. We have Kelly and Wilson for the future. Rumours have it that we will sell Agger! I was a bit surprised when I heard. Any thoughts?

Gutted, he'd have been be perfect for you. Too bad he chose the wrong part of the north!

I hope we don't sell Agger. Absolutely boss defender and his loyalty alone would be worth giving him another season.

If the right price came along for Agger then take it. Injuries are big issue but no problems if he stays as long as we have backup or better starter.

Any know much about Sakho?

Nope, not much tbh. We in for him?

Agger is our best defender when fit, constant injuries make him disruptive to our defense though, so im in that camp that think he should be sold.

I rekon we should go for that young Greek center back,Papadopoulos, beast of a defender.

Happy with Henderson aswell. Sucks losing out on Jones, United probably gona CB covered for the next 12 or 13 years with him and smalling.

you gotta have more than two of em though jazcobar, and rio/vidic aint got much time left

Any know much about Sakho?[/QUOTE]

Center-back, also can play left-back too. Another one who has been touted as a new Lilian Thuram. Big rave reviews about him, last French defender with this much hype was probably Phillipe Mexes.

This the Sakho you're talking about?
linds22011-06-09 14:45:33

mahmadou? Arse been chasing him for a cupla seasons too apparently... big beast of a defender, saw him turn out for france the other day he looked the goods

Yep, that would be him. Seen his name pop up a few times, possibly due to the french connection with Comolli.

I think Adam and Downing will be next (in quick consession) with a bit more emphasis put on the likes of Dann for our defensive option? Can't see us chasing Mata until near the end of month when the european window opens and INTL's are largely over.

Oh and Wickham will the other one to replace Ngog?

Apparently Tottenham are the favourites to land Wickham but you never know. United and Liverpool leading the spending league at the moment! And its all British! Arsene Wenger would do well to follow suit.
