Not exactly true ... Meireles only had 12 months left on his contract, and has refused to sign a contract extension ... LFC came in with a €12 million offer, and the deal was done ... AVB got Joao Moutinho with the money ...

New Anfield, and it is not even a close call ... It is the fans that make Anfield such a great place, not the steel or concrete ... By the way, the best plan for the new stadium and the redevelopment on the Anfield site ... http://www.newanfield.co.uk/plazaview.jpg

Raul Meireles has proved himself on international level with Portugal, in the Champions League with Porto, and in the Premier League with LFC ... And we are effectively replacing him with Charlie Adam on our team ... Therefore, I accept that Kenny might have some tactical or financial reasons for making such a swap, but the quality of the players in question is certainly not that reason ...

Every player is worth what other clubs are prepared to pay for him ... If we are prepared to pay 18-19 million for Downing, that's his worth ...

Downing will probably get 19, the number he was wearing for years at 'Boro ...

Charlie Adam is a decent player for a club like Everton or Aston Villa ... We should be aiming higher, especially if we want to to get into the Champions League ...

Not very impressed with the signing of Charlie Adam, but after all he has done for us over the years, I suppose Kenny can have this pet project ...

The European Super League would inevitably become a reality, at some point ... Not in the next 5-10 years, though ...

Not a surprise, really ... We still need to balance our books and our wage bill, and no-one reasonable would buy players like Cole, Poulsen, Jovanovic, Konchesky, Jones, Kyrgiakos, Aurelio, Degen or El Zhar ...

I think that he will end up at Chelsea ...

I've clashed with an alleged ITK ... It was clear that he was talking shite, claiming that he has an exclusive info on the takeover ... Unfortunately for me, the people running the boards had other ideas ... They probably liked the increased traffic, caused by the alleged ITK ...

Yup, a long time ago ...

Don't be such a cry-baby ... This is not the the right place and time ... Once you are allowed back to RAWK, we will continue this argument there ...

At the end of the day, Rafa was the one that has brought Kenny back to the club ... Only because of that, he deserves more respect from LFC supporters ... Not to mention the European Cup and the No.1 ranking in Europe ... I am as optimistic as any reasonable LFC supporter under FSG's ownership and Kenny's management, but there is no need to piss on Rafa's legacy in order to praise Kenny ...

To be honest, if Rafa hasn't engaged the couple of cowboys, they would have probably still owned the club today ... Therefore, you should never put him in the same sentence with them ...

You mean, the rubbish cup that your club has never actually managed to win ? And I am not even mentioning the European Cup / Champions League ...

Yeah, right ... You talk about Sanchez' and Hazard's situation like you have the slightest idea about their future, and then you accuse someone else of having the ''I Know It All'' attitude ... Typical ...

Not necessarily ... Coming from a long-term injury, he is very unlikely to command any sort of a sign-on fee ... In these situations, there are usually performance/fitness related clauses and bonuses included in the contract ...

Yup, he has started 64 matches in the league, but he's also had 38 substitute appearances over that period ... Add to that 8 starts and 4 substitute appearances in the French cup, and you get a respectable number of 114 first team appearances, for someone who has turned 25 just last week ... Yes, he's had his share of injury troubles in the 2008/09 and the 2010/11 season, but he was also one of the best players in the League 1 in the 2009/10 season ... He is definitely a risk, but signing him on Bosman is limiting that risk ...

Of course, Messi is not on the same level as Maradona, yet ... But, considering that he is still to turn 24, I expect him to reach that level in the future ...

Well, if you consider Aquilani's fitness and level of play this season, we would actually struggle to get a player of the same quality for 15 million ...

To be honest, I am not expecting some huge signings this summer ... Jose Enrique, Gary Cahill, Blaise Matuidi, Alberto Aquilani (or his replacement), Ashley Young ... Possibly another young striker like Connor Wickham ...

Reina eyes 2011-12 improvement 27th Apr 2011 Pepe Reina claims he has a point to prove next season - and that many of his teammates feel the same way. In an interview with LFC Weekly, the Spanish stopper admits he has not been on top form this term. "I know I could play a lot better," said the 28-year-old, who has appeared 305 times for Liverpool since arriving from Villarreal in 2005. "Throughout the whole year my levels must improve. I am looking forward to the next one to prove myself again. I think, as a squad, we all feel the same - as individuals and as a group. "Nobody is the perfect player - you are always learning. I have played 450 games, which is a lot for someone my age. I am happy but I would like to play another 450 games at the highest level." A 5-0 thumping of Birmingham City of Saturday left Liverpool three points shy of a Europa League spot - though Tottenham have a game in hand. Reina knows the Reds have momentum after scoring in 16 successive league games since the turn of the year. He believes securing continental football for 2011-12 would have many benefits. "Sometimes you hear people talk about the Europa League," he said. "They say there is no point being in it, but I think the competition has helped our youngsters; Martin Kelly, Jay Spearing, Danny Wilson. "Maybe they wouldn't be ready to play in the Premier League now if they hadn't experienced the minutes in Europe. "Probably one of the biggest positives of this season is seeing young players like these. Players with big futures get a chance and prove themselves. "That is why until the end of the season we will fight." At 28, Reina is still considered a youngster in the goalkeeping fraternity, but that's not to say he hasn't given some thought to life after football. "I will always be involved in the game - coaching, media, whatever," he said. "I know there have been few goalkeepers to become top managers, which is strange because they spend so much time trying to watch the game, concentrating. "Maybe it's because we dive too much during our playing careers - suffer knocks. Afterwards we want to play golf and relax a little. But I am not like that. I like golf, but I like football more."
