"I honestly hope Luis stays with us for a long time. We need this combo, badly. They are both gifted players and when Borini hits form we will be a nightmare for defenders."
"Nice one John, spot on again. Similar to yourself and Beardo if I remember rightly with Digger throwing in the bombs. I must say that Sterling looked to have woke up too as he was clearly affected by contract demands.
Come on you reds.
YNWA"

"If we need to keep our best players we have to reach the champions league next year but how it can happen? We have to make some quick exchange and our priority is to get one leftback really, we dont feel we need leftback cuZ glen hide everytime our problem on left back but he is not left back"
"i have to admit i dont like Rodgers, but the team seem to be working pretty well even if we are short of some good quality experienced players.. we do need a LB, CB, Wingers and a Striker to come in before next season and maybe a DM as well.. and i think some players can be sold including Allen and Borini if they dont improve vastly before the season ends."
"Looking good so far but it was there first start together. Lets see how they do vs Arsenal away, for me a loss will probably decide top 4 for us, but get a win there and we are right in the mix. YNWA "
"a great pair of talented guys. i want us to sign two more prolific attacking players be4 the FA cup match on sunday. to be honest top 4 is a big challenge by the looks of who are vying for it. so we have to be more active b4 the transfer window closes. "
"Yeah man these two are gonna smash it!! Since ive been supporting this team in 86 we have always been great when we've had two up top. after aldo n rush it was too long till fowler n owen 2001 5 trophy's. then owen on his own tores on his own then suraez. But now its time for the new duo and we have them both while there young. Loving it now, here comes the cups!! "
"(jezero) Get rid of Borini what planet you on ? Why would we sell him when we have only just bought him and incase you did not know he has been injured for months, it's not Fifa 13.
"
"I must admit I am pleasantly surprised by Sturridge. As an unfortunate, surrounded by a family of Chelski fans, who were wetting themselves at us buying another reject of theirs, that s has lapsed somewhat. however he needs to prove he isn't the lazy arrogant person he was at Chelsea, only time will tell. But for now I am eating humble pie. Keep it up Dan lad. YNWA."
"Pressure on Borini to perform now, which is good. Hopefully he can give Suarez some rests before the end of the season, with the cup, Europa and Prem leagues. Away to Zenith could be a chance..."
"Well if anyone would know Aldo its you. Just imagine what we'd be like if we actually bought a couple of proven ball players who could hit the ground running the same way instead of all these kids. A few top pros in the summer and we could actually challenge for the top."
"
St John & Hunt?
Keegan & Toshack? Dalglish & Rush?
Aldo and Beardsley? Fowler & Collymore?
Owen & Heskey?
These two could definately match a few of those. And those guys all had better players around them."
"Makes me chuckle how little we're hearing of all those people who were Anti-Sturridge. Loved the loko of the Suarez-Sturridge Combo. Now looking forward to seeing BR playing Suarez-Sturridge-Borini as a front three... with the pace, strength and movement of the three. Would be a real handful."
"well said aldo, i have to admit i was a bit sceptical about sturridge but what i have seen so far i've been really impressed he seems a smart football player and always in the right place,so far so good
"
"as for 4th place, we are 7 points behind that with 3 teams above us. we play them all and if we can beat them all we have a real chance because they are all dropping points now so fingers crossed lets beat arsenal first off and push on from there
YNWA"
"Well said Aldo, think that with Luis-Dan we will see some beauties and adding Borini to the strikeforce we will be even stronger. I don't think we need a further centre forward from the current transfer window, so our link to Marco Rojas looks like for me unfounded at all."
"It's promising but I hate it when things like this get talked up so much. I'd prefer to say that they're two excellent forwards and Sturridge adds to our attacks. It's too early to talk about telepathic understandings and the like. It gives the media ammo for any quiet spells they have (if any). That said, I'm extremely pleased for Danny. He's proving a point and that can only be good for us."
"I personally see that linkage for that match. However, it is a bit too early to say they are click instantly. The pair need games to prove that is true. I wish I was wrong. Anyhow, boys you will never walk alone. THE KOP from Thailand. "
"It must have been frustrating for a player of Daniel's ability to have been given so few chances at Chelsea. In his first interview, he seemed to be very humble and grateful to have been given a chance at Liverpool, contrary to the belief ast some that he is arrogant. Well, Daniel, now you've got your chance! May the floodgates open."
"Hey dhd39!!!This what gets my blood pressure up.
You say bring back TORRES!!!Dont you understand he hates us and could not wait to go (and i quote)To a bigger club so DO EVERY ONE A FAVOUR AND DROP THE SUBJECT!!!!you would need to shakkle him to get him back!!!!Noooooooo!he has made his bed so he can rot
at the bridge.."
"I've also got to admit that I was very skeptical about Sturridge but so far he looks the business. Just got to pray that Suarez isn't attracted to Bayern Munich's offer. One more season please Luis! Borini needs to step up in quality though. I have faith Brendon. I for one am delighted we didn't get Snieder. Never thought I'd say that, although I was screaming for a swap when Alonso left.
"
"As the old saying goes, it takes one to know one and who better to recognise the potential in the pairing than Aldo. Its not only good to see how its working for the team but also gives confidence to all the players for winning games. Futures looking bright."
"Yeah....yeah....yeah. Spot on Aldo. Stevie was brilliant on Saturday but I still like to see him behind them 2. If we can get XABI....problem solved."
"Aussie27 - i wouldn't say i hated sturridge, i was very wary of him cause of his selfish playing style at Chelski. i am however happy to see a new Daniel and hope that this gets better and better between them. the dummy was immense becuz they have been 2gether for such a short time. better must come!! "
"Hope I am wrong but I can't see Suarez staying at least long term! He is at a team that hasn't been in the Champs League for 4 yrs and unlikely to next season. He gets stick at every other away ground -Racist, cheat and so on. "
"FSG need to start spending big and show ambition otherwise the only reason I can see Luis staying is because he loves the club and fans. But we have seen so often in the past how much that means. RVP at Manu. Club captain, the club made him and stuck with him through years of injury and look how he paid them. Sorry, but sentiment is not word often associated with modern day football"
"To Ani-road, I dont think you get it, Spending big was KD mentality and it crippled us!! Spending right is the only way to go! Sturridge 12 mil, or carrol 35 mil... buying the right marque players in the summer is the way to go, not right, Love FSG and Br to sticking strictly to their plan!"
"Lonewar. Every man and his dog knows that the money spent was generated. Millions has been knocked off the wage bill and lucrative contracts have been signed. You either fail to acknowledge this or you actually do beleive these clowns. You wait for the protests if BR doesn't get LFC up the table. "
"Yes, if things go well then there will be no mumblings of discontent, but if he doesn't fans will analyise the spending last summer, all the outgoings and money saved and the promise of players. Where you as quick to defend Hicks and Gillete? Because in many kopites eyes they are no different to our current owners. "
"rememebr that H & G spent a fair wack in their first season. You, Buddha, LDW are clealy pretty bright men, yet you always go on about the initial outlay. You fail to look at net spend aprox £30m in what 3 years. Fail to look at the money saved from selling players and not replacing them but promoting youth. "
"I said weeks ago if LFC are a success then we should all be proud. We would be the first team in many, many years to gain success on a shoe-string. As I said b4, I have friends who support rival clubs but they admire BR and the owners for not spending massive money and promoting youth. "

"For me though, it's all about putting your hand in your pocket, sadly LFC are no longer that kinda club which is why we are buying BIG clubs reserve players. Credit to Sturridge though as I feel he maybe a gem. Oh and whats happening with the ground? More lies! "
"redopm-agree mate. This is the typical response from pro FSG supporters. The club was crippled. Eh, hello- Babel and Torres 58m Suarez and Carroll 58m (or figures close. Hendo money was generated by Merielles. Downing was the only significant amount spent that was wasted. The arguement that the money we spent was wasted maybe true but we certainly wasn't crippled in the process"
"Ani, they had to do it, they gambled on KD knowing his stuff to get champions league, the gamble failed, so they had to cut costs to exist!!!!!!!!!! Now BR and FSG have done a wonderful job ironing everything out, summer they will spend! If it takes another couple of years to balance everything out, fine by me!! FSG and BR are doing an amazing job!"
"Making us a viable business, recruiting real talent, maturing the youngsters, dropping poor performers, competition for places, all the signs of a team that is going places! I see FSGs vision, its a shame fickle and quick fix fans cant!"
"Man City, Manu, Chelsea are the rich clubs. Spurs and Arsenal can also spend big (although with the gunners their fans have similar frustrations to ourselves but in their case it seems like their manager is pig-headed with spending despite no success for 8 years). "
"There is a top 4/5 already. We are then on par with Everton, and Newcastle in terms of spending. Every season those 2 do quite well for their supporters expectactions. We have to exceed those expectations. "
"The days of signing Suarez, Torres and players like that have gone it seems. Now we are trying to find the next big thing. Stevie won't be around for so many years. Suarez may leave. I am not saying it's grim as BR does seem good and have a good youth system. But to aim for the top we need to spend... Right, things to do, maybe back later :)"
"Ani-road-05, thanks for the back handed compliment. lol! What I misperceive is your wholesome lack of faith for the owners, Surely you can see the wheels are in motion? We need to steady the ship before we let it sail. The DS signing should impend faith in both FSG and BR."
"Lonewar. Sorry mate but before I depart one thing. Liverpool fans are fickle then? Read the comments section. Read the Echo, listen to radio phome in's. A few weeks ago the KOP were chanting DALGLISH! Just think what you are saying mate, these fickle people are your fellow supporters and a large section of them. Yes disagree but go on a Manu site if you want to criticise fans. Catcha laters"
"Ani, FSG have never lied to us, not once, all because they are keeping the stadium plans to themselves and not you keeping you in the loop does not mean they are lying, if you followed what they have said, we have made massive progress with revamping Anfield.. I guess missed that... blinded by the Pro-Kenny goggles..."
"I also laugh ani at your financial statements above, thats not how players are funded, not simply ins and out, the is residual loss of price paid, wages paid of the term of a players contract, ie Andy carrol in total cost us £60 million, then future asset value, or depreciation! ie $25 million loss minumum with Carrol... Big Big mistakes cost us dearly!"
"dont comment on the finances unless you have read and understood the financial reports and the illustrations by tomkins which explained how crippled we became before BR and how with his management has turned it around for us to prosper and I welcome it, even if we do nothing but slightly progress year by year then wonderful! NO QUICK FIXES!"
"hey Buddha, I just dont get the anti FSG brigade at all, they have been nothing but good for us, never lied, I expect in the summer the plans will be unveiled about the stadium and it will slap the anti fsg group in the face, then when we buy 2 marque players in the summer, and jaws drop... thats when there will be silence!!"
"come on you reds. a good chance against oldham to start being consistent and get another win and clean sheet hopefully. luis and dan have shown glimpses of top class strikers and will only get better. hope borini can push on as well. we are going places and oppenents starting to drop pts. come on redmen. YNWA"
"They bring that missing dimension to the squad. the final score is what matters. But there is also something to be said about the potential our stats suggest and what these two bring to the team. It's as if you think you know the answer to a complex equation but can't make the maths quite work out. Then you find the missing part of the calculation and the solution is clear!"
"ANI RD, VERY RARE THAT I DISAGREE WITH YOU BUT I DON'T THINK FOR 1 MINUTE THAT THE LFC FANS CHANTING "DALGLISH" RECENTLY WAS DIRECTED AT BRENDAN RODGERS MANAGEMENT. THE MAJORITY OF FANS UNDERSTAND AND SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE. ASK ANY FAN WHO WENT TO OLD TRAFFORD ABOUT BRENDAN RODGERS. "
"LFC THRU THIK+THIN maybe they were chanting kennys name for his return in ambassadorial role??? i like the look of the team. just want enrique back and kelly. a very good squad with luis and dan. well done brendan YNWA"
"hey ply and thru, how is it going, I have not heard it either, I dont think he should come back as an ambassador, what about fowle r/rush like they did on last summers tour??
"
"PLYNO1RED, IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT INTENDED FOR THE MANAGER, AS WAS THE CASE WITH HODGSON. AND I AGREE WITH YOU, KELLY AND ENRIQUE GIVE US MORE OPTIONS. I LIKE WISDOM BUT IN THE LONG RUN HE'LL SLOT IN AT CENTRE BACK."
"Yes, It's funny people having no trust in Sturridge, wanting claiming we weren't splashing out enough cash and that we needed a "world class player" Has no one understood that big price tags aren't always the answer? CHELSEA COUGH* "
"Lonewar... Too tired mate. Another day, I am sure this topic will be debated sooner or later. LFC THRU THICK + THIN I was writing earlier quickly as I had to be somewhere. I did think though that the remark citing the chants of Dalglish made it sound a lack of support for BR. It was a nostalgic chant and defiance to no-one I guess. Time for Sleep. "
"This forum is like a split personality: on a good day for LFC, we get the positive minded optimistic fans who support the manager and the team, and on a bad day, we get the negative minded pessimistic people who dislike the manager and most of the team. I believe that as LFC gets stronger the latter will stay away more and more and this forum's personality will be whole. YNWA Come on you reds!"
