Yeh but Dags you mentionend a little chunk of squad players there being sold for 2 attacking midfielders, yes it would give you a good starting 11 but then wheres the backup to those players when rested/rotated

I see what you're saying, in that respect then I don't think we will have the funds as the owners wont throw money in until they end their squabble.

We have some excellent youth players but it's probably too soon to blood them yet. We need these owners sorting out :(

What about Dos Santos, he's been linked with you lot, apparantly Parry was in Spain trying sign him.

Going back to what Abhishek said, Rafa wants players with desire and hunger. From what I've read about Dos Santos, the Barca players and fans don't like him because he's lazy and struts around the pitch thinking he's God's gift.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

no argument here lads, your talkin history again right?

last year you were dog lucky to get as far as you did in the cl and your luck run out, you didnt challenge, but based on history yes, your up there with the best.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Oh goodness me, what an ignorant bloke you are. If our RECENT history (well 4 years isn't considered history just yet) doesn't make you think we're contenders in CL ABOVE Chels and MU then you're missing a screw up there. But I guess we have the advanced knowledge that Everton fans will never acknowledge anything good we do anyway so what's the point discussing with him?

Should I bloody say Everton is lucky to get to 5th place? Luck is part of the game so don't say we got lucky to be in the semis, if you want to talk about luck then oh my the defender wasn't guarding the post so we got lucky the ball went it bla bla bla. Boring excuse mate.

Dos Santos?? He won't stand a chance in the bench if you ask me :)

Re: Liverpool Thread

IT SEEMS there’s more chance of the UK winning the Eurovision Song Contest than there is of getting a straight answer out of Anfield these days; and in both cases you sense that politics are becoming more important than the game itself.

No sooner had Rick Parry declared the Premier League to be our ‘number one priority’ for next season than Rafa rushed into print calling winning the league ‘an option’, while reiterating just how hard it is going to be to break the United/Chelsea axis due to their enormous financial resources.

You’d have to be very cynical indeed to think that Parry, recovering from his very public mauling at the hands of Tom Hicks, is playing to the gallery and trying to build popular support by repeating the mantra that will resonate with the vast majority of the fans.

By turn, Rafa has been quick to try and manage expectations, drawing attention to the vast amounts of money at our competitors’ disposal and, rather more subtly than in previous years, making a plea for strong funding support to strengthen the squad.

The extent of financial disadvantage suffered by Liverpool in recent years, and its potential consequences, were brought into stark relief last week with the publication of the ‘top two’s’ latest accounts.

In case you missed it, Chelsea’s debt stood at £736m, of which £578m is owed to Roman Abramovich by way of an interest-free loan.

So while Chelsea are not picking up any crippling interest costs, the Russian can demand full repayment at 18 months notice.

You can understand why everyone at Chelsea is so anxious to keep him happy now can’t you? If he gets bored, and takes his toys (i.e. money) away, then the Londoners would have a mighty battle on to prevent themselves going the way of Leeds United.

The goldfish would have to go for starters. As for United, their debt level stood at £764m, of which £666m (rather appropriately, the devil’s number) represents the cost of buying the club which the Glazers ingeniously got the club itself to pay for – which is of course the mechanism which Liverpool fans, and certain members of the board, are fighting to avoid from Mr Hicks and Co. Total interest payments at Hogwarts in the year in question were £81m.

Now you could argue that Chelsea have got the better deal here, since all the debt they have incurred has been spent on players and their wages rather than on buying themselves out. Yet United can meet those enormous interest payments, acquire top-class players and still make a profit – mainly thanks to the sums generated by their enormous stadium and associated marketing efforts – in other words, they’re a going concern, which Chelsea certainly aren’t without Abramovich.

This underlines just how important the new stadium is to our future aspirations – until this comes on line, we will fall further behind unless our owners advance more funds which in turn will increase our levels of debt.

It’s unlikely therefore that there will be any more Torres-style acquisitions, unless Rafa raises substantial amounts from the sale of fringe players. If this leads to more quality and less quantity, then I and many others will see that as a desirable trade-off.

On the other hand, if it means the arrival of more sub-standard free transfers, then Rafa’s caution will be well-placed. And we’ll be as far away from winning the Premier League as we are from triumphing in the annual songfest that, coincidentally, will arrive in Russia next year – I wonder if Roman is thinking of starting a supergroup?

Enough! I knew it wouldn't last long before you starting spouting your shit about how good Everton are and trying to start shit up again. Go back to your own thread unless you have something constructive to come here with :brick:

This is exactly the kind of posting from you that CW has said would result in warnings, cut it out already!
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

LIVERPOOL will go into the forthcoming season as Europe's number one ranked team.

The Reds top UEFA's official rankings thanks to their Champions League performances over the past five seasons.

Having won the competition in 2005, been runners up to AC Milan in 2007 and made it through to the semi-finals this year, Rafa Benitez's team has accrued more ranking points than any other club in Europe.

Liverpool top the rankings table with 104.284 points, giving them a one point lead over Italian giants AC Milan.


Next on the list are Chelsea and Barcelona, with Arsenal in sixth and current Champions League holders Man United in seventh.

Other British teams on the list include Newcastle in 19th, Rangers in 20th, Middlesbrough in 27th, Spurs in 31st, Bolton in 41st, Everton in 44th and Celtic in 52nd.

Liverpool have moved up from third to first thanks to last season's run to the semi-finals, meaning they top UEFA's rankings for the first time since 1985.

Their recent form in the Champions League also means that they will go into the qualifiers for next season's competition as number one seeds and will thereby avoid the other seeded teams when the draw for the qualifying rounds is made in July.

So much for not being challengers in anything eh? ;))
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Thanks to dags for data, UEFA doesn't avoid the truth like someone here :)

Is it really true Finnan is leaving? I hope Crouch gets a game against US. He'll be a handful.

You are the best in the premiership?

You really are bitter.

Built on Blood, Sweat and Honesty? LMAO

You really sound like you try to convince yourself everyday that you picked the right club to support. Liverpool fans don't have to do that.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

thats pathetic lads to laugh at some thing you dont understand!

you dont have to explain why you support liverpool peter!

your dad asked you too.

I dont get you lot, why do you expect praise after the season you have had, why do you react the way you do when you know deep down how it is.


bottom line is you have won nothing again this season just the same as everton , only difference is we aint going bankrupt at the same time.

Re: Liverpool Thread

Can someone ban Blue for a bit? Because it all went nice and friendly for a period after CW's warning and now he's started trying to cause a riot again and trying to have digs at Liverpool (again). You've been warned and you're still going off on one.

And I quote:

From here on in all club threads are for chat about upcoming games and how you think the teams thread you are posting in are doing. Any personal attacks or people on the wind-up will see their club thread closed and that member banned for a 7 day period.

Re: Liverpool Thread

morning dags, think your over reacting mate , no harm to you!
why would you want me banned and for what?
im talking football and about your team in particular just because you dont agree with me dont warrant a ban for crying out loud, behave your self.


trying to start a riot!!.......unbelievable
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Read the rules, you've been on the wind-up for a few days. You haven't came in here to either talk about our games or how we're doing.

Instead you've came in here slagging off Liverpool saying we're not challengers in the league or Europe, personal attack on Peter, and other sly digs trying to make out Everton are better. The rules clearly state what the forums are for, and trying to get digs in at clubs and arguing your club is better trying to wind people up are out of the rules.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

its a footballforum to talk about football, sometimes it gets a bit out of order but thats life. some people need to grow a set instead of wanting people banned.

there is no matches coming up anyway so its good to have a bit of discussion on the clubs etc..... ffs what happened to internet free speech hahaha
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

dags as soon as i walk in the door you hit the panic button , why?

you never have an answer for me so instead you keep blurtin oh stop attacking my team!

you need to wake up and see that your teams failing season after season instead of disreguarding disapointment and thinking maybe next year.

i know it aint good and if this was everton id be hurting too and believe me we have had many many dark days we took it on the chin season after season and moved on, id like to see liverpool do the same.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

glad you said that coz its nearly the same difference between liverpool and everton which is 11 points.

difference between liverpool and chelsea = 9 points.

Explain how those posts aren't wind-up posts? Especially the attack on Peter? Which makes it all the funnier seeing as you removed the part about Daddy telling him to as well.

Re: Liverpool Thread

Espanyol have snubbed an offer from Liverpool for Spanish international Albert Riera.

The Reds are believed to have tabled an offer of around 12million euros (£9.5million), but that falls considerably short of the Primera Liga club's valuation.

Riera enjoyed a successful loan spell at Manchester City in 2006, but has flourished since returning to his homeland.

He has missed out on Luis Aragones' squad for Euro 2008 but has impressed when given a chance with the national side, scoring a spectacular debut goal against Denmark in October 2007.

The winger has recently expressed his desire to secure a move to a bigger club but, along with club-mate and fellow Liverpool target Sebastian Leto, has been told in no uncertain terms that he will be going nowhere unless a substantially higher bid is received.

Price tag

"We are very disappointed with the quotes made by the player last week," said Espanyol president Daniel Sanchez Libre.

"If a player wants to leave then they should speak with the club, not the press.

"If a club wants to sign Riera then the price will be 24million euros (£19million), and that figure will not change."

Riera has a contract at Montjuic Stadium until 2011 and could now be punished for his outspoken comments.

Espanyol are contemplating fining the player, but as he is currently on holiday they are trying to resolve the situation with his agent.

Sky aren't the brightest bunch, we don't tend to target players who are already ours :LOL:

Apparantly they want £19m for Riera. I haven't seen much of him but £19m is a piss-take I'm afraid.

Oh right, I've seen an occasion where you accused the mods of double standards for not banning Lak, and DJ asking for Lak to be banned as well. Don't think either of you got banned for those?

Now you see how we manage to get players like Anderson (who is actually brilliant) for 30M, Carrick for 18M (or was it 16?), etc.

Clubs see someone like you or us coming for their players, and play the extortion game,

The funny thing is that I reckon they think we've got more money than we've actually got :(

I can't see how Nasri is worth £11.5m, Alonso £16m, Torres £20m and they think they can value Riera at £19m :SS
