Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings

rumour: spur bid 10 mil pounds for joe cole....

think we should try to snatch him from cheskis if they r willing to sell...

[too_hot]

Sad to say things are really not looking good for us. Not just the pending departure(s?) of Alonso (and Mascherano?) but also the very poor pre-season warm up so far. Kick off is just 2 weeks away and if the players are not match fit now i dun know when they will be. We need to hit the ground running (like last year) and then sustain our form into next year (unlike this year)....if we start badly and end up having to play catch up the rest of the season, it ll be difficult....sigh.....

Masch is definitely staying

I'm still alittle hopeful Alonso's deal will breakdown, considering Real are looking at Defour as a replacement.

I would love to see Joe Cole at Anfield but he's too injury prone.

I think right now the only players who can join us and make me feel happy for selling Alonso is Villa and Ribery, which wont happen im sure.

i havent been this sad over a transfer since maybe McManaman left for Real.
even Fowler to Leeds did not bother me this much.

ya.. we had a good start (10 matched unbeaten), and overcame our jinxed month (Nov)...
but suffered lost of from in Dec and Jan.. which eventually cost us dear in the title run in..

looks like we have signed Aquilani, welcome to the Kop Alberto!

Rumours la.

No offence to Xabi, I will take 30m pounds anytime (it was just over half that amount one year ago!).

Some bros are again feeling their morale drop. Let's look at it this way: we did not win the title in the five years that Xabi was here - not blaming him of course but maybe it's time for a change for someone in the middle who has more pace.

I'm actually surprised Rafa did not want a swap deal (or at least player plus cash) with Real. Surely there are some attacking players there who would bolster our attack? Are we really going with Babel and Ngog as backup (and for goodness sake, Voro)? Our attack worries me more than the midfield, to be honest.

din watch much serieA.. but look up some clip of tis fellow..

seems to be a very different player from XA, he's more like an attacking midfielder, rather than a "ball playing" playmaker...

pool r always slow starters, i rather we lose the friendly games now than lose later in the league,we also don t want to peak to early,usually players r not 100% fit in the 1st few games but gain match fitness as the season goes along.i m to worried i m sure the team will be ready.

thanks for posting.

the defence is all over the place.....
and as for the midfield could tis be due to the current Xabi Alonso, long-running transfer saga

I agree!

With the cash, we can bring in new players and new ideas..
Maybe we can have David Silva since Villa not leaving?

No point having a player who hand in transfer request when he is actually an important part of the team..
His heart is no longer at Anfield so why keep him?

Let Xabi leave and wish him the best of luck and look forward to new players coming in...

[doppelherz]

from BBC's gossip column:

2106 BST: Liverpool's Lucas Leiva has held talks with the directors of Brazilian side Corinthians about a move. "You have to see what Rafa Benitez plans," he said. "The president of Corinthians already know that I am interested in and what I want." (Brazilian TV station Terra)


ah does that mean Cattermole is coming in too?

Personally I rather have Danny Murphy back

[doppelherz]

According to the Marca, Alonso has a better chance of staying at Anfield.

Real are still refusing to pay 40 million Euros that Rafa wants and are losing patience with the fee.

[doppelherz]

a good replacement if Xabi leaves.

I'd rather Xabi go to Barcelona really. Something in Real Madrid really stinks, including their political history.

David Silva a bit hard leh...I think no chance with the Valencia players

It's all confirmed. Now can we talk about something else?
