Has anyone seen the latest EPL show on Sky sports? It has an article on our Luiz.....what an absolute legend he is. Loves playing for Liverpool, gives everything with a great attitude. He is amazing

I think this Liverpool team is coming together nicely....3 more decent signings should do it until the January window. Central Defender, Left mid and a winger please!

That might just be the number on his training sweatshirt. Quite often they're different from the playing kit numbers. You guys should be really pushing for the top four at least this year and maybe even for the title. Interesting article on goal.com about your possible formations now that you have Gerrard Henderson and Adam.

Hahaha cheeky Monkey. Good start to the week after getting a hiding at footy yesterday
Did you put a reminder in your diary?
That dude has let me down big time, he's off the christmas card list.
Although we did show interest in Benzema in Jan yes?

Yeah, that's right  he's number 26, Spearing moved to 20, Maxi moved to 11 and Henderson got 14..
 
Yup, be made up if we could get into the Top Four again, still think we're one or two class players away though.

Pretty interesting discussion on the stadium issue too.

Sounds like some decisions might need to be made come September.

Only snakes on this plane were Poulsen and Cole...

Behind the scenes - flight to china



Looks like they all have language translator gadgets at one point.

Looks like Doni is coming in as "competition to" cough*back-up to*cough Pepe. After a long drawn out rumour. It seemed Doni wanted to go somewhere where he would be pushing for first team football, which you can't blame him, but it looked like none of the offers he had were any good.

Just watching Uruquay playing at copa america and suarez looking absolute class, far and away the most dangerous player on the pitch. EPL season can't come soon enough

Jazz junior was up at 5.30 this am checking the result of the first game in China.I was up at 5.35 ( Dad , Dad come and see this...)
Got incredibly depressed when I saw Poulsen had scored.But Coady's effort was nice.
On the good news front- looks like Leicester has got Konchesky.One down , 4 or 5 to go.

Downing looks like a done deal if medical and personal terms agreed
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
It's all coming together boys! I'm liking all this a lot.

Good to see Poulsen on the score book last night. He can walk away with head held high

Might have to get pen + paper and start playing with some potential line ups now...
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Jazz junior has been doing that for a week.He doesn't know how he gets Lucas and Henderson in the same side. He's playing Suarez and Carroll up front ,Kuyt as a "third" forward.Now it looks like we've got Downing , that will change things.He'd had his heart set on Mata.
His last team had Kelly at RB , Johnson at LB.  If we get a new LB , he'll have to change that as well. Thankfully he doesn't have much in the way of homework at the mo'

How did we leak 3 goals this morning though. Has anyone got the starting line-up and the subs used.....and the goal times?

Downing fee agreed, �20m.

I've never been really convinced, I suppose he can whip in a good ball.

Me neither but I'm happy to be proved wrong on this! It is pretty good to see some young english talent come into the club with carra and gerrard getting a bit older.

Downing is almost 27, I wouldn't consider him young, he should be at his peak and come into out team and be effective almost straight away.

I kind of had the same feeling when Keane signed, a player who's been good and bad in the Premier League, considered a league star on a medium sized team. And a player I thought was a bit overrated, at that time I wanted to be proved wrong too. Anyway, I hope this turns out to be polar opposites to the Keane saga.

I think that the new owners are super smart and have a sports franchise model that has worked for them before.....just need to hope what they learnt in Baseball can be applied here!
 
Interesting point of view here!

More good news ( hopefully):
Poulsen to FC Copenhagen , Jovanovic to Anderlecht. I hope these rumours are true.
Now for Ngog , Cole
 
I have a work/beer/curry mate who's a diehard Blackpool fan.Apparently some of our young players are headed to the beach for a season on loan.Anyone know who? I'd heard Darby/SHelvey but my mate says no.

I'm happy as with Downing. Individually a good player, nothing great.

But look at our TEAM, it's starting to take shape. Can't wait to see Downing plant the ball bang on Carroll's head.
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Carroll �35m: No.
Suarez �23m: Yes.
Henderson �20m: No.
Downing �20m: No.

1/4 ain't bad.

Nice. I thought we'd spent quite a bit but once you crunch the numbers...

Sold:

Torres $50m
Babel $6m
Konch $1.5m

CR: $57.5m

Bought:

Carroll $35m
Suarez $23
Henderson $20
Adam $7.5m
Downing $20M

DR: $105.5m

- $57.5m

Total spend: $48m on 5 players

Roughly $9.5m each and arguably streaks better than the players that left. Thank you Mr Abramovich.

It's actually quite a difficult task. I think a lot will come down to who we are playing and the strategy KD wants to use for the match.

I believe the side is being built around Carroll and Suarez now so each selection needs to compliment them within the game plan. Either way it means we're regularly going to have the likes of Adam, Henderson, Aqua, Gerrard, Cole, maybe even Kuyt on the bench. Makes for some impact late in the matches instead of fearing about Mr Don't Rate-Yoo coming on.

My thoughts exactly..... left back, centre back a winger and striker?

Poulsen, Cole, Jova to leave?

Pretty sure comolli said that was the end of their premeditated transfers but if something interesting pops up then they will move on it. Surely need some defensive cover though

Would have thought so - you're weakest part of the team last year - thought the Greek clogger would be gone for sure.
