The Liverpool FC Society VI

Yep, so did Matt Jarvis.

He's 20. He created the 4th most chances this season. He's being chased by top English clubs. He hasn't even played a game for us yet and you're slagging him off. FFS give him time.

Any link to that guardiola interview?

Absolutely clueless, Enrique is on good wages here and gets forward plenty. He deserves a move to a better side than Liverpool really, he'd be perfect for Arsenal as he's twice the player Clichy will ever be.

Pep Guardiola said this week that the only academy that can match La Masia is ours. That's all I have to say about our youngsters making the grade. It will not be surprising if both the Liverpool and England teams are filled with our academy's players in 5 years time. Robinson needs to improve his stamina, yes, but he's only 17. Flanagan only showed tiredness in his 7th consecutive match, imo he actually had his best game the previous match against Spurs. I never said that they will have to play a lot of games next year, I just said that in a few years they will be classed as HG. I don't think Jonjo will make it, and I think Spearing will never progress past squad player HERE, but Flanagan, Kelly WILL make it and Robinson has a good chance too.

Kuks my friend, Liverpool should be aiming for the top players, creme da la creme. Not 2nd rate English players like Carroll and Henderson.

Another Midtable finish for Liverpool next season, as I believe Daliglish's honeymoon period will be over.

Both were promising youngsters and one of the best at their respective clubs last season.

I agree regarding quality of purchases but you also have to find value for money. Can't be spending 50mil per player trying to get the best, so in that case might as well spend £20mil and develop and player into the creme da la creme

We have a good spine to the team, without the likes of Carroll/Henderson but what we've lacked for the last 5 years has been a plan B or strength on the bench to change a game/cover for an injury.

The purchases of Carroll/Henderson are strong quality for the bench but also given time have the potential to become great players and this could make all the difference in the league imo.

We've still got a long summer to go and the owners are obviously ambitious.

I've been talking to someone at work who's a massive Red Sox fan and he didn't have a bad thing to say about the owners and said they are always competitive at the top end of the market and are winners. Astute businessmen who make the right decisions.

Who cares what Guardiola says? He may know the Barcelona academy well from his time there but his views have little holding over here.

All I care is what Kenny/Borrell think but we'll never hear their true views since they can only publicly say that our youngsters have quality.

Our youth team didn't win the U18/reserve league did they?

It's great that you think they will make it, and likewise I hope that they do, but it's naive to assume they will especially when you consider the number of youth players who fail to make the grade. Insua was highly rated but has fallen at the last hurdle and there were a number of youngsters at the club in the past 5 years who we heard great things about but no one has come through yet. I'm optimistic about our future but I'm not blind sided as to what we may reap.

They will both be in the first team.

Guardiola doesn't even have a bad word to say about Mourinho/Madrid, ffs. He inevitably always praises some facet of x, y or z. He's a nice guy.

What's the deal with Jones? Apparently we've bid 21m now

What's the deal with Jones? Apparently we've bid 21m now

Please don't let it be. Kuks I swear you tell us all the worst transfer rumours

Venkys think they don't have to accept the bid of £16.5m from us, but they do - clause says '...any bid over £16m'. It's pretty pointless Liverpool bidding more, Venkys have to accept any bids over £16m. If your bid is real then it seems a case of FSG trying to show they're willing to spend, but it'll only cost you in the future, tbh.

Here's the latest on Phil Jones. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2002598/Manchester-Uniteds-Phil-Jones-bid-tatters-Blackburn-wont-bullied-Liverpool-launch-22m-swoop.html
It says that we could still get him, just because Utd have bid enough for his release clause it doesn't mean they have to sell to them, they can effectively start a bidding war and sell to the highest bidder.

Only that one Aguero one TBF


I fully expect you'll to wrap it up but if we put our noses in and make you'll pay over the odds it's all the better What I understood is that the clause allows the club to talk to the player but Blackburn don't have to agree which sounds pretty daft to me.

Whatever happens with Jones, there is no denying how much of an embarrassment these Venkys people are, not only to the PL, but to themselves and to India. They clearly have no idea about football.
