Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings

[doppelherz]

ANDYSIAO nice topic.

1st
Dario Srna - definitely world class, can play right back and right wing.
has pace,can cross and good attitude on the pitch.
Most importantly, Rafa will appreciate his versatility.

2nd
Tuncay Sanli - another Kuyt but I think with a better team playing with him compared to Boro, he will perform good enough.
a good squad player to have.

3rd
David Villa - I think I don't have to say why.

4th
Ashley Young - English,consistent and what we need in alot of ways.
can cross,pace and pitch in with goals. We should have got him for 10 mill from Watford when he was offered to us in 2007.

Personally I hope players like Babel, Dossena and Lucas can step up next season too if they stay to show us their true colors.
It will be like signing new players.

i picked micah richards...
he can play right back (replace Arbeloa and if GJ deal went dead) ...hes steady...hes upper body quite balanced and he will be more better if he has rafa as guidance....
especially gerarrd and carra also there to create him one of the best english defender then he is now in man city....
but i must admit he abit clumsy sometimes...(who never)

micah richard = a young english def who can play LB and CB..
tough guy.. thou still an unfinished product, but think can become a very good def..

ashley young = another english player who may improve our team..

david silva = brilliant player, can play in any of the 3 position behind torres.. only concern is he is a bit too lightweight, dunno can adapt to english soccer...

and in my dream.... ribery, david villa, messi (i think tis is a bit too much liao.. hehe...)

Arbeloa's contract is left with 1 year. He can leave for a Bosman next year and he has mentioned that he wishes to return back to Spain. Maybe that's why Rafa is willing to let him go. Luis Garcia left because he was home sick too.

I think with the world cup coming next year, all these internationals need to be playing on a regular basis. If they aren't, I doubt they will be selected. If Arbeloa goes to Real and sits on the bench, I'll laugh if he doesn't make it to Spain's world cup squad. Already, he's just a benchwarmer for Spain. Reira seems to be in the starting 11 for Spain quite often on the other hand.

mascherano has already said he has no intention of leaving. but his agent is in barcelona talking.

rafa would sell if barcelona pays good money, but certainly not 23 mil. 45-50 mil would be more reasonable. rafa would then be able to get a couple more of his targets with the additional funds.

and rafa would certainly want yaya toure to be in the make-weight deal. toure will be a decent enough replacement, although i still cant think of anyone who is better than mascherano in his position.

sad to see liverpool fc paying for the greed of david moore. it is entirely his fault when he accepted the americans' offer instead of DIC, just bcos he got to pocket 70mil all for himself.

Thank God...

Carlos Tevez has ruled out a summer move to Liverpool, Sky Sports News sources have learned.

The Argentina international, who has spent the last two seasons on loan with Manchester United, has emerged as a transfer target for a quartet of Premier League clubs.

United have first option to sign the striker, whose registration is owned by a company rather than another club, but Tevez has indicated he is not happy at Old Trafford after seeing his starting options restricted this season.

That has caused a scramble for his services with Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea all credited with an interest in the former West Ham favourite.

However, Sky Sports News sources have been informed that a move to Anfield is not an option for Tevez.

That leaves the Red Devils, their local rivals City and London outfit Chelsea battling it out to secure the energetic forward's signature for next season.

looks like a bad summer for us!

Chelsea agree Johnson fee
Liverpool face challenge for right-back




Chelsea have matched Liverpool's bid for England star Glen Johnson.

Portsmouth accepted a £17.5million bid from Liverpool earlier this week and the 24-year-old looked set to seal a move to Anfield.

However, Pompey chief Peter Storrie has confirmed the club have also now agreed terms with Chelsea - Johnson's former club.

The in-demand full-back now has a decision to make, with both sides keen to tie up a deal this week.

"The matter will come to a conclusion at the beginning of next week. I do not have a preference over the move, it is up to Glen," Storrie said.

"The deals are almost identical so it really is down to him and what club he prefers, which one is going to pay him more money.

"Glen wants to play regularly in the Champions League, he has got himself back in the England side so I understand that. Sometimes you have to be fair to players."

Storrie admits that Johnson needs to be playing Champions League football next season in order to secure his place in Fabio Capello's starting XI - with the World Cup finals now less than 12 months away.

"It's a big year for him with the World Cup coming up," he continued.

"Playing Champions League football will make him an even better player than he is today."

so it's down to money again for these greedy English?

[asspanker]

if its really down to the $$ difference beiong offered here, i rather GJ go back to chelski and suck there, rot there.

i believe Liverpool has the history and heritage and pride, so much more than moneybags chelski. So should he decide to pick to go to the reds, it will be a better choice even though money wise for now, we cannot match $$$ bags.

But Rafa looks to be bringing us up further a notch while chelski face uncertainty over their new coaches and a few aging squad as well.

[bochapsing]

Torres signed a new contract last month and is confident he can satisfy his ambitions on Merseyside.

"A lot of players committed themselves to Liverpool this summer with new contracts and players don't do that unless they think they can have their ambitions met.

"There is a lot of belief at the club and a lot of trust in the manager. I sincerely believe I will win the Premier League and the European Cup here. The winning tradition is very clear at Liverpool. I want to be involved in a little piece of their history."

He continued: "I'm very happy with my contract at Liverpool and wouldn't leave just to earn a little more somewhere else where I wouldn't be that happy. To want any more would be greedy and that is not me. As long as Liverpool want me, I will stay."
.....

"We won't win the title because Manchester United have become weaker but because we have become better."

Liverpool's perilous financial position has increased speculation about the future of their star names, with Reds boss Rafael Benitez consistently denying midfielder Javier Mascherano is on his way out of Anfield.

Torres also believes the Argentinian will stay, adding: "Javier loves it at Liverpool, that is all I can tell you.



he's fast becoming a true legend...!!! YNWA

The Final Showdown Looms

SHARELIVERPOOLFC WELCOMES EARLY DAY MOTION (WITH CAUTION)

The broken promises of Liverpool FC’s owners have not gone unnoticed by MPs. As the deadline for the refinancing of the loan to LFC’s owners looms, MPs have urged the government to put pressure on RBS not to extend the loan.

According to reports in the Liverpool Echo, MP for Walton, Peter Kilfoyle, acknowledged that RBS is an autonomous organisation, but explained that the government, as majority shareholder, has some considerable power in influencing decisions.

The Early Day Motion, tabled by Peter Kilfoyle, relates to ‘Royal Bank of Scotland and Liverpool Football Club.’ It states:

‘That this House notes the Government's 60 per cent stake in the Royal Bank of Scotland; further notes that the Royal Bank of Scotland provides a credit facility for the American ownership of Liverpool FC; is aware that the American owners have failed to deliver a new stadium for Liverpool FC, thereby delaying indefinitely the regeneration of one of the most needy areas of the country; and therefore calls on the Government to ensure that the Royal Bank of Scotland does not renew that credit facility at the end of its current term.’

(EDM 1669, 15th June 2009)

ShareLiverpoolFC share these concerns surrounding the delay in building the new stadium, and especially its effect on the local community, but our fears for the future of Liverpool FC lie deeper than this. The financial statements released recently give us real cause for alarm. Not extending the loan is not enough to safeguard the future of Liverpool Football Club. We are urging the government and RBS not only to refuse to renew credit facilities to the current owners, but also to consider plans to put the Club into the hands of the only people we can be sure will look after its long-term future: the Fans.

ShareLiverpoolFC would like to reassure you as ‘registered members’ that we are doing all we can to become involved in negotiations. We are working closely with Supporters’ Direct and Spirit of Shankly, as well as leading businessmen and politicians to achieve this end. We must be able to offer a sound alternative to the current regime and your support helps us do this with credibility.

David Moores quits

With the announcement that David Moores has joined Rick Parry in quitting the board of LFC, no doubt many who blame him for selling to the Americans will be delighted. However, we should remember that between them, Parry and Moores exercised their rights on the board to limit the amount of debt Hicks and Gillett could place on the club, and ensured that they gave personal guarantees for up to £40 million. Now they are no longer there, there is nobody to restrict the owners' freedom of action - except perhaps the banks themselves.

TRANSFER TALK !

IT'S WAR! That's the verdict of Catalan daily El Mundo Deportivo, which claims Real Madrid are set to hijack Barcelona's move for Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano. Liverpool has been asked to name their price for the Argentine midfielder.


We should ask for more than 80 million as Mascherano is better than Cristiano Ronaldo

Insider News !

It seems the $$$ problem is unsettling many foreign players plying their trade in the BPL. The impending implementation of a 50 % tax on earnings above 180,000 pounds will see many players have their income drastically reduced.

Liverpool's defender Arbeloa is eager to return to Spain as he does not intend to suffer a paycut Several others are set to follow his example
I hope the Liverpool team that was assembled by Benitez dun start falling apart
