"Agger is a perfect example of the kind of players we want at this club. Hes not here for the money and is prepared to slig it out to get what he wants instead of packin up and leaving for a club in a better position. After gerrard and carra hes my choice for captains armband. Anybody agree? If not whos your pick? YNWA"
"Congrats Dagger for the goal. I really like when you got YNWA tattooed on your knuckles and pledged your future to this great club and with few more clean sheets, Anfield will once again be a fortress :) YNWA"
"keep it up agger your the man get in those areas and slam another one on the weekend tell the other nine out fielders that they're allowed to score also.... ynwa"
"antiutd....mate you are spot on...after Gerrard and Carra..he is the best man to don the Captains arm band and may be in future Lucas can also be a top contender to be the captain of our football team. He is a proper role model for all the youngsters in my view.....what say??"
"Our centre backs couple looks definetely the best in EPL, a pity it's not been supported always by a decent midfield shield given the absence of Lucas. Anyway 18 goals suffered out of 15 games are not bad at all, even though the potential of the pairing should give us better stats! West Ham will represent a real threat for us next Sunday! YNWA Dagger & MS"
"antiutd and LFC... I agree. He has the ability to captain LFC. And as several has said in here, he is the kind of player we want at the club. The right mentality. But on top of that he is also very skillful, and that is very important if we are to compete for the le. So more of this and keep up the good play and convert."
"I hope we get Levandosky,Huntella, Brian Ruiz or Berbatov,Marco marin,Isco,Gaitan,James Rodrigez..and a left back..and as funs can we contribute and invest in the team..as funs can we contribute to take us back on top."
"With
Johnson,Skrtle,Agger,Enrique and lucas the defense is as solid as it will ever be. With Gerrard,Allen and Shelvey in the middle we are also sorted there. Suarez, Raheem and who else up front? We now have to look at backup on the bench.CONTD "
"The bench has Carra and Coates as Centre backs. Kelly on the right when he comes back and Robison on the left if needed. Midfield Suso, Henderson and Coady.Up front we could blood Adam Morgan and Ngoo.CONTD "
"Yeah i can see us playing 3-5-2 against the hammers as we have no recognised striker so will need two high lieing mf's. And by playing three cb's we can counteract their tall strikers. Glen and enrique to push back their wingers i.e Jarvis. Ngoo to get a call?"
"I have constantly stated that we have the best back 5 in the league and with THE imperious Agger we have the best CB. A great defence is the bedrock of all successful teams. Once we align this defence with a 20 goal a season striker we will be a force to reckon with...."
"If we had the defensive 5 that we now have in the first five games of the season and they played like they do now we would have been up there in 1,2 or3. Unfortunately errors cost us those vital games in particular Man C and Manure.Still can't look back. Onwards and upwards."
"agger could be the next captain if he stays injury free hes good goin forward with the ball and gives everyting when hes defending as for torres scoring goals for us lol chelski have a better squad and he couldnt hit the floor if he fell on it there "
"Rushjob- Sorry to intervene on a question asked to some other person, but I can think only of one word in response to TORRES: Treachery... He's crap now anyway, adopted rent boy!!! "
"well said dagger totally agree unfortunately the doom ers on here dont or wont see it that way (seem to be waiting for us to fail)but hey i'm not 1 of them so come on you reds YNWA "
"Defence looking stronger now. Some extra firepower and who knows? The season still has a long way to go with so many twists and turns. Last few years we have talked about key little ingrediants that could transform our team. contd..."
"This season more than any I have heard so many little solutions that could turn our season- time (with youngsters) Lucas, January (strikers)... Fact of the matter is whilst equally being supportive, i have learnt to ride with it rather than make bald predictions... Each game at a time, remember after all our wins have coem against perennial regelgation fodder. "
"Ani-rd. I know all about that and I kinda think the same. I still believe that he'd bang them in at Anfield again in our present team. Class is permanent and looking back to a few years ago. He was utter quality. "
"I dont mind admitting it- out of all the names being mentioned and linked with LFC, if I switched on to hear that FT had re-signed for us, I would be very very excited. Do you not reckon the city would buzz about it?"
"Rushjob, let me answer before we get rudely interrupted again, lol. I wholeheartedly concur with you about Torres. He would immediately be rejuvenated just like the oft maligned Shevchenko who regained his composure when he went to Dynamo Kyiv after his torrid time at Chelski. Liverpool is his home and us fans will help to rekindle his form and appee. Come home son.."
"Rushjob. One thing we know about football fans is that a few goals or a few outstanding games and the good times will be rememebred again and that period of trechery will be all forgotten. But ask me now, then i'd say no! But a few weeks of getting used to it I guess I would change my way of thinking. Personally, I can't see him coming back. Form, age, fee being just a few reasons. "
"You van never say never. He's earned his big coin. He's probably realised that being happy is more important. He knows where the love was, and where it defo would be again. Gotta admit. Id buzz at the thought of Torres, Suarez, and Gerrard. Big time."
"Just to add to my previous comment. The owners have clealy stated their intentions with signings. Young and upcoming players... This is not even a criticism of the owners I.M.O, they don't wan't players hitting the twilight of their career, particularly players in such dire form and carrying a substancial fee. contd... "
"AGGER HAS NOT REALLY HAD A BAD GAME FOR US. HE IS STRONG AND GOOD WITH THE BALL AT HIS FEET. WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM DRILL ONE IN WITH HIS LEFT FOOT.SO FAR SOMEONE ALWAYS SEEMS TO GET IN THE WAY. I ALSO THINK TORRES WOULD BE TOO BIG A GAMBLE TO TAKE. THINK HIS BEST DAYS ARE GONE BUT WAS EXCELLENT WHEN HE WAS A RED.YNWA."
"Typing ahead of you there Rushjob. Yeah it would be a thrilling front 3 and one that would strike fear in any league. An on-form Torres with Gerrard and Luis would possibly be the best forward line up in prem coupled with possibly the best back 5. I do share yours and Buddha's excitement but suppose being equally pragmatic at the same time."
"Eaten bread is soon forgotten! Agger needs to be honest. Our performances last season were better at this stage and so were the results and goals scored. However we have great chance of climbing the league by year end as we have winnable games. Come on reds "
"Agger on his day is best CB in prem and future capt as pointed out. Just cannot figure out why Morgan is not getting a chance at all,can only presume it has to be his atude in training, which BR would not put up,get the feeling that if your not 100% he will not play you."
"January will be a huge time for owners,either back Manager with good signings or show supporters they are all talk..You dont have to be Einstein to know we need at least 2 more strikers as shown this weekend and hopefully one will be a proven striker in prem,cannot only keep looking at potentially good strikers,maybe Borini will come back and find back of net?"
"antiutd - i agree, think he would be a super captain, he already seems to have a louder voice than gerrard on the pitch and tries to take a game by the scruff of the neck if things are going against us."
"Rushjob, you don't have to explain anything to the likes of WheelanR etc as FT would be a good shout. All this traitor nonsense would soon be forgotten as soon as he started scoring, with folks like Wheelan singing the loudest. Us fans are not the brightest when it comes to supporting as we are guided by emotion and not brains. "
"I am not so sure about Sturridge he looks too full of himself in arrogant way and not what I thought BR would like. The far better bet would have been Walcott a Liverpool fans who is humble but has a desire to be a winner. If its Sturridge we will have to welcome him. "
"Rushjob, nothing brings about hypocrisy more than when the object of the ire produces stellar performances. You only have to witness the slobbering love affair between Pardew and NUFC, two strange bedfellows who looked as compatible as Dalglish and modern management, (great joke, I am getting good at this lark)now you hear the same fans who wanted him quartered singing his name without any shame."
"plyno1red, Rushjob is our resident minister of info, so be rest assured there is validity to his statement. It seems we have to prepare for Sturridges arrival and we should be optimistic of what he can bring to LFC. His skills are not in question, its his atude, but I guess he would not have got this far if his persona was that bad. "
"Agger has being pure class for us since he came, just has being unlucky with fitness, and ya a born leader and will be captin one day. As for FT if he came back he would bang the goals in no problem but it is not going to happen"
"Agger - LFC through and through - would like him or Lucas to take the armband when it is time for the scousers to hang up their boots! I would love Torres back in January then Rafa to follow !!!"
"Ola Toivenon if we can't get Cavani but why can't we get Cavani? We are Liverpool! Plippin' heck, get them both but Sturridge or Bent..forget about it!"
"Talking Tactics:Robbie Savage on West Ham's Chelsea win. BBC Sport, any of u there who has BR's contact details, please ask him to go through that article and see how we thrash them, Jonjo fo Luis's position "
"'If' it does happen- Sturridge is 23, loaded, english and has had a decent rest at Chelsea! (lol) He will come with a point to prove having 'chased the dollar' yet not played a lot of footie. He may well be an astute signing...."
"Daniel should have LFC in his mid-name.. Daniel LFC Agger, he is just a magical person isn't he, spoke with him and he is a no bullzhite kind'a guy. deadly honest and yea, he's deadly honest.. what you see is what you get."
"I know a couple of lads who used to train with him at Citeh who all said what a great lad he was. Confident, but not y one bit. Maybe 'its a London thing'!"
"I know Mancini was upset that Sturridge was sold before he got there which says a lot. In his beginnings at Chelski he looked awesome but then tailed off. I heard there was some problems which derived from him not playing in his preferred position, mind you, Drogba was still there. Arrogant or confident? Take your pick. "
"For the record- Raheem was advised by LFC to temporarily halt his twitter account due to an incident last month. He will commit to LFC. The rest is just lazy journalism......"
"if it's true about Sturrige I just hope he doesn't turn out to be another over priced over payed and over hyped British player, we've more than our fair share of them, but I will support him like I have done with every player that has worn the red shirt or the black and grey or purple etc"
"NO GOOD TREATING THE BALL LIKE A HOT POTATO. YOU HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE IN POSSESSION TO PLAY FOR THE REDS. IF YOU'VE GOT THE 1ST TOUCH OF A SERIAL KILLER, FORGET IT !!"
"also like other people have posted hear I think if Judas I mean Torres came back and scored one goal against the bitters or manure the bouncing would be back...by the way why don't we bounce for Luis?"
"PERSONALLY, I THINK TORRES'S BEST DAYS ARE BEHIND HIM AND I'D PREFER THE REDS TO LOOK ELSEWHERE. I'D BE HAPPY TO BE PROVED WRONG THOUGH. AS FOR STURRIDGE, I'M SURE HE'D CHIP IN WITH GOALS AT ANFIELD. MY OWN PREFERENCE WOULD BE CAVANI AS FALCAO SEEMS CHELSEA BOUND."
"Buddha, with all your so called knowledge you should know that Torres suffered a serious injury at Liverpool and guess what, he aint as fast as he was and is never goign to be. Get it into your head he is NEVER coming back to Liverpool..move on"
"Thing with Sturridge and Walcott- these are players who can drift, cut inside, play wide, as a centre forward. Basically highly flexible- Defo BR type players. It does appear that BR isn't overly fussed on a number 9 type player- why for me Demba ba, Bent etc are just rumours. "
"thankyou for your responce. surely if a deal is in the making before transfer window opens that is tapping up?.i know alot must go on behind the scenes that we never hear. what is happening with fulhams complaint about dempsey. glad we didn't get him"
"PlyNo1red. That's why clubs have 'representatives' and players 'agents' done through third parties. I'm led to believe Sturridge deal nearly happened in August, and his little game time since has confirmed to him he wants to leave. He's told Chelsea this, and we are in. I'd expect a swift deal too if it does happen- looking at our fixtures in Jan!"
"WhelanR with one e, I guess you are right that its impossible for any great striker to operate without pace, I mean when we think of Van Persie the best striker in the league, you think blistering olympic 100m runner. Whelan, Whelan, Whelan, come on son, engage in this conversation or leave it alone. "
"thankyou rushjob and if it turns out we get sturridge then i know who to come to in the future. i really dont mind who we get as long as they do their best for liverpool. i would have liked kenny in charge but brendan is changing things around and if it works out it will benefit us in the long run. he must have cut our wage bill by £20 million already. but the owners still need to invest. YNWA"
"This is one of the best articles ive ever read with regard to LFC and FSG. Google 'the tomkins times cutting through the noise'. A brilliantly written piece, and one which I'll remind myself about when I'm 'having a wobble'. (Hey Buddha and Ani). Read it- it's superb!"
"Sturridge would be a very good signing, just what LFC needs someone who is confident to SHOOT at goal instead of passing to Suarez all the time!! We need someone who is greedy and wants to score a goal. Also his prefered destination is Liverpool! YNWA"
"Rushjob, Well done for highlighting the article and I am going to say I told you so. You will admit it echoes almost verbatim my points I laid out to you when you accused me of preaching, right down to me praising BR bravery. I pleaded with the board to expose the past regime and detail their plan as then I am sure we would all see why they should be applauded, cont.. "
"I am not sure why I can see clearly what the owners are doing whilst some fans are finding it difficult to hom, but its refreshing to read an article that lays out what I feel is obvious. If it helps good folks like Rushjob to be patient then bravo Tomkins. Long live LFC! "
"Gerrard captain, Carragher vice-captain (because it'd be rude to take it off him), Lucas third choice (players seem to have so much respect for him, and he leads by example on the pitch), Agger 4th choice. This will become Gerrard, Lucas, Agger 1-2-3 soon. Reina should focus on his goalkeeping."
"Buddha. Ever wonder why people on here turn against you? Not sure if you thrive on it or it's just your confrontational charactor? You act on here like you are the voice of reason and anyone who disagrees with you is a imbecile. Paul Tomkins writes in a positive manner, you then say 'what did I tell you all' So if another author wrote in a negative manner it would be 'what does he know? "
"agger is supreme. i think that sturridge is a good buy - wanted him when he was at city and he has plenty of potential =- watch him go. but 15m is too much for him"
"Jonjo has an article y'day and once again 'what did I tell you all'. Who actually said Jonjo was crap in the first place or said anyting different? You chose to rave about him, others didn't! But your most annoying when Liverpool win and the first thing you say is 'what did I tell you all! What? Revel in victory not gloat and revel in telling people how wrong they are! "
"You see, no-one likes a smart arse. You imply that people who don't trust the board (and I can say from my experience those people who don't trust board are increasing at a rapid rate) these people are naive or even stupid who don't trust them (great way to describe the majority of fans hey!). "
"Last year with Kenny it was the same. All you wan't to do Buddha is prove that you are right and others are wrong. You had the audacity to cite that I want BR to fail weeks ago. That comment alone give me an insight to your charactor. You suggestted that I would want failure if it meant me being proved right. You see, I/we are not like you. We don't mind being proved wrong if we win. "
"If LFC win/draw/lose we don't feel compelled to say 'i told you so! Our main thought is ensuring the wins continue. If we lose we complain and not say 'what did I tell you! When I quoted that some people wanted defeat last yr so it ensured Kenny would be out, you pushed the blame on LDW and he admitted it, but you said the same thing. "
"Finally, you say people have an obsession with you. You invite it and I personally feel the only reason you take to these pages is to get that attention. As I personally belive based on the fact that you seem to spend most of your time on the computer (even when a match is being played) that you have very lonely exsistence and little social interaction. "

"Buddha, Torres is finito, its over for him, he relied on his pace to score goals. Its over for him unless he can find another way to score goals. Get with it yourself. In any case Torres is never coming back so waste of time arguing about it"
