knapp... Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 don't think meireles, aurelio or maxi (hasn't he said he'd like to move, or am i dreaming that up?) will be with us come the start of the season. reina johnson-carra-agger-enrique (hopefully) kuyt-gerrard-lucas-downing --------suarez---------- --------carroll------------- reckon henderson and adam will get plenty of game time though and it'll be quite flexible depending who we're playing.

Tony7 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 The games against Wolves and Swansea at Anfield are already sold out. We now have Alberto, Meireles, Gerrard, Adam, Lucas, Spearing, Shelvey plus Poulsen (I know he wont play) do you think we have too many central midfielders or do we need that many for backup? If you think we have too many who should we sell? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think we have too many who should we sell? think shelvey is going on loan, which ignoring Poulsen means 6 players for 3 spots. That's not that bad, would be fine if we were in Europe. Raul and Aqua probably available for the right price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just-Wool Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 A fee for Jovanovic? Its a bonus getting his stupidly high wages off the wage bill.

Just-Wool Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Adam and Henderson are going to help us quite a lot this coming season. henderson has bags of potential and Adam, if anything, is going to free up Gerrard to do his thing. I imagine he is going to do what Alonso did, but not as good probably. Never mind though, relatively cheap signing and if he does well then it is always good. Genuinely looking forward to this season again, no horrible owners sucking the club dry, King Kenny ready to assault the league and a trimmed down squad with hungry players. Sounds like the Liverpool of old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed him because Kenny wanted to sign him. I trust his judgment more than some opinionated drama queens on forums. Winger is going to be Downing, maybe even Mata as well if we can release the wage bill and negotiate a good deal. Meireles has been apparently unprofessional in some of the things to do with his contract negotiations so Dalglish wants him out. Aquilani, I'd give him a season under Kenny to see if he can do it in the premier league, the guy never had a chance since he joined really. Very much doubt he'd get it though. The team we have, with a couple of dead wood shifted, plus a couple of hungry young players is easily good enough for a title challenge, so we don't need *that* much of an overhaul. Need a new centreback though, as Agger is Mr Glass. Unless Kelly can show his worth there, which there is no reason to see he can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insipidus Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I dont think stating that i seen the adam signing as bizarre makes me an "opinionated drama queen", more of a concerned onlooker. if you cant appreciate why i might raise an eyebrow at he acquisition of another central midfielder when other areas are still to be addressed, then i dont know why i bothered to read the rest of your post. with meireles, it was my understanding that he signed with lesser wages with the promise that he'd get a new contract this summer, which was ultimately reneged upon. i think you need to control your ambitions as well. as much as id like to see us win the title, i prefer to be realistic. after our signings so far i cant see it happening next season. that may change at the end of summer depending on who we bring in, but its far too early to say that we're good enough for a title challenge with a few subtle changes. we need another 4 or 5 players in key positions to compete as a squad to win the title.

CaptainPlanet Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Given that United, Man City and Chelsea are strengthening (god knows what's happening at Arsenal) with some big money signings, it's not like everyone is staying static and we're catching up. We haven't bought a lot of current quality, we've bought mainly for the future (so far), so between a big squad change (including a lot going out) and new players coming in who need some time to settle in, I'd be ecstatic with 4th this season.

DeafParrot Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 4th is the absolute maximum we can achieve imo, even with a few extra signings. United, City and Chelsea are streets ahead of the rest of us now. We'll be battling with Arsenal and Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PukkaE Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Whats the general consensus on the unlikelihood that we can redevelop Anfield? Bit of a shame in my opinion as I would rather we stayed due to the history of the ground and it'd be cheaper. Would moving to a brand new stadium create more revenue in the long run? Were we ever in the race to sign Zapata? Remember a quote saying he was close to signing for us then a few days later he was at Villarreal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bell Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 As much as I appreciate the history of Anfield it seems impossible to redevlop there without a compulsory purchase of half of the district, which is never going to happen. Stanley Park is the only way to go I am afraid. It's just a matter of striking a good naming rights deal for the stadium and getting some affordable finance for the rest of the build. As long as we still have a single tier unbroken Kop end then I am not bothered. But we certainly need to raise the capacity to at least 60,000 and we need to vastly increase the corporate boxes and hospitality facilities on site if we want to maximise matchday revenues and perhaps attract major tournament finals and music concerts to increase our income streams. Sad we will ultimately have to leave Anfield though, but I think it is ncessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divinity Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/konchesky-sold-to-leicester Good news. As regards the stadium, I'd prefer to see them aim higher than 60k. Go for a new design with 70+. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
