"I hope this isn't true.
(published on forzaitalianfootball.com about 1 hr ago)
Southampton, now under the stewardship of Mauricio Pochettino, may have won the race to sign the 20-year-old for a fee thought to be around â"
"really pleased for the movements in this transfer window which we are gonna head, a striker like Sturridge, the potential arrival of an attacking midfielder like Coutinho and a new centre back as it could be Fazio or Okore truly would delight me as it would strenghten our hopes to fight till the end for a top 4 spot! Well done BR!"
"We don't have a lot of players like Coutinho who has that type if ability and flair to dazzle go at and past players, as well as the creativity and potential to be one of the worlds best. Coutinho has that and maybe will be. He has the potential to be a bigger star than anyone we have in that attacking mid field position. Hopefully it happens in a Liverpool jersey"
"Good luck Brendan bring in some quality.I notice Brendans use of the word maybe alot.I guess he dos´nt want to get burnt like when Andy left.Please don´t hang him out to dry again owners.YNWA"
"Coutinho and Ince would be great. However we need to review our defence in the summer and get in a top central defender and perhaps a right back who can defend.."
"so livefree, maybe it's a case of coutinho rather than ince. i think suso has the same potential. i also think what we need at the moment is a player with skill but with experience to go with it, was disappointed sneijder chose galatasary ahead of us, i think he'll regret that."
"Coates will be the player going on loan. Wilson already went to Hearts before this press conference. Coutinho maybe he will come. We still need a right wing though and maybe extra left back cover as Brendan doesn't seem keen to play Jack 'I;ve got walcott in my pocket' Robinson"
"JDMayn1 Its Ngoo going on loan to Heats! Ngoo told Hearts News: "I'm honoured to be here. I'm delighted and happy to be at such a big team and I'm ready to go." Ngoo follows Liverpool team-mate Danny Wilson in signing for Hearts after the club's transfer embargo was lifted by the Scottish Premier League earlier this month."
"i think we need to bring in around 6 players before next season, if Carra retires this summer then we need a good centre back as cover for Skrtl and Agger we also need a Left back and a defensive midfielder to cover the first choice players.. thats 3 players and then we need at least 1 striker and some wingers so 6 players is minimum.."
"Pleased to see a sensible approach has been taken. 1or2 signings would be great & boost the squad. We'd all like the superstars at Anfield, but it comes at a hefty price & there's no guarantee they wil be successful. The superstar players clearly have the skills, but its more about whether they will fit into the skills of the team. Many superstars have failed in the PL."
""We know we still need one or two additions more. The club is doing everything it possible can to assist me in that. If we can, great. If not, we'll have to review it again in the summer."
so the summer it is then"
"Hope we bring in quality we have plenty of players with potential in fact most of our midfielders also wisdom Flanagan Robinson Coates can be included."
"If you don't bring anymore in before January 31st don't expect me to renew my season ticket next season, sick and tired of this club letting the fans down during transfer windows, you wasted our time during the August window, now it looks like you'll be wasting more time getting were we should during this one, pathetic."
"I don't trust Rodgers, nor do I trust FSG and Ian Ayre, all they do is feed us rubbish, how about taking us forward to were we belong rather than letting us down every window there is,trust me if there signings they would of been done by now, expect nothing more this January and say goodbye to Suarez in the summer. "
"rodgers is crazy.u go all out to try to sign coutinho for 8m refusing to pay the same amount for ince who is better.others are paying 15m for zaha and rodgers is just doing nuthin refusing to apy good money for god players"
"THIS SITE SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK WE WOULD HAVE COUTINHO DONE AND DUSTED BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WHICH WEDNESDAY IS THAT, ASH WEDNESDAY. I THINK THAT IAN AYRE MUST BE STUCK IN SOME TYPE OF TIMEWARP, SAME OLD CR?P WITH HIM AGAIN. "
"If we can bring in a few new faces then good, but if we cant we'll just have to look again in the summer, what kind of atude is that? Do we really want to move forward? I think we don't, cos if we did we would of done better in the August and January transfer windows, that team isn't good enough for the top 4, fact."
"BR admitted last week that we need experience, we don't need more young inexperienced players. We only need players that are going to make us stronger. Tom ince might be a decent player but I can't see him helping us get top4 this season. For me we already have enough young players. Whatever happens i hope we get a player that can have a instant impact from day 1. YNWA"
"Hi BR i am following lfc for the last 23 years. Rome never built in a year. I have and do like u r philosophy. I have a q. If u may answer. Last match against stoke what do u think went wrong.
"
"I'm a little confused, one minute we won't be doing much business, now were looking to bring in 2 more, that's pretty active business. We all know the next 2 main main targets, stop messing about on the pair fsg and get them in for Arsenal. We are only talking about an extra million fon each, cos lets face they both fit the profile and we need them. "
"Oh and btw Rodgers said the same thing last year in August towards the end of that window, if we can get a few players in then that's great if not we'll have to review it again in January, sounds to me your wasting our time and feeding us rubbish Rodgers, but im guessing that's what FSG pay you to do right?"
"I love the way he says the owners are doing everything possible, fact is they ain't. I think personally they doing as much as possible to make it difficult for him. Champions league is a possibility this season, just back the man and let him do the job you paying him for."
"If BR is saying we are maybe getting another 2 players in then that should be good enough for us fans.We need to just wait and see.After all there is another week to go."
"I value the fact that we're done with beig held to ransom by clubs, if we pay an extra mil here and there as easy as that then clubs will just keep adding, but it wont be a mil next time,it'll be 2, then 3 and so forth, if we dont get anyone else thats fine,least we've kept our dignity."
"rushie2013 is right FSG can't be trusted and Brendan is feeding the supporters more BS as usual. This club has gone from one of the world's best to an also ran in the space of a few years first Hicks and Gillett and now FSG and Brendan. It's a sad joke and the supporters are the ones who are paying the full price. "
"You are still out of your depth BR - do not bring in anymore of your swansea players, especially Williams, isn't he the one who would like to hit Luis !! You are making my club a joke - FSG boy !!!"
"redace85: great comment. As soon as the world of football knew we needed a mass recruitment of players, they all got one the media bandwagon & linked us to every player they wanted to get rid of, & those we genuinely showed interest in added 5-10mill to the value of a player. Some good sensible prudent business going on here."
"If we get the two recruits and I gather its Ince and Coutinho, we will be in a brilliant place to launch a bid for 4th place. Sturridge has shown that we have the capacity to buy pivotal players that will be making a difference. Its getting exciting..."
"At Least now we are better than last season position and still got some more games to play. Our team can only get better. So even if we don't bring in any players, our team better dun give any excuse of not reaching top 4 (sorry but it a tall order). Then Much better (than wat we linked with) players will come in summer."
"We have come a long way from the days of the two cowboys.The only thing i am disappointed with is no more word of a new stadia.We could have disappeared down the drain but for FSG so maybe we need to give them a bit more time before we start making accessments.I believe we can make top 4 beginning at the gooners.Y.N.W.A"
"rushie2013 - You mind giving me that season ticket? Because im sure theres plenty of fans who would DREAM of going to support our beloved LFC. Anfield doesn´t need any moaners in the stands"
"We need to understand what the club is trying to do and support and encourage the entire project not just cheer 90 min every other week. I understand its frustrating but we must be strong and patient for at the end of the storm..."
"Redopm!Its his loss!!!He could have played for the best club in the world but there are better out there.BY THE WAY IS CAROL COMING BACK OUR WHAT!!!HOPEFULLY NOT."
"YES AND NOT PUSSY FOOT AROUND IN THE FIRST HALF THE WAY WE DONE AGAINST THE MANURE.....Lets bust a gut and score first this should be our policy from here on in.Lets attack and show no mersey against the opposition.Lets go for the juggular!!!!!!!"
"Have to admit i would love to go again to ANFIELD.Last time i was there was 89 and mickey thomas scored against us for the winner against the Gooners!!!"
"Thought i was going mad!!!We do play Oldham on !!!and this will be the match i will be glued to.Going to say 3 0 to us and thats only the first 45....."
"Usual rubbish . BR should be a politician as he talks much but deliver little and prays his bosses but he is worried about speaking out just in case he gets the sack. How can a team like us be outsmarted in the transfer market by Southampton is beyond belief!!! If we lose Reina and Suarez then we r done !!"
"Oh Buddha, I can see that your audience has been huge tonight. You are single handedly reviving the lost art of smutty seaside humour. Frank Carson would be very proud!"
"Now this idiot has now gone and done a buddah130675 instead of buddha130675. redahendo get life son you are so embarrassing. You have threatened to answer the question I posed. So to all the fake buddahs answer the LDW question or get lost. "
"redahendo, all you are doing is spoiling the forum for others by carrying on with this crap. I am happy to oblige your nonsense but brother get a life. You need to get back to football matters and let you do your own battles. I know you don't feel adequate but you won't grow unless you try. Good luck"
"redahendo, I would be so embarrassed to carry doing something so cretinous like this. It was a good one liner and now you are trying to make it into a film. Get back to talking about football. Goodnight mate. Enjoy your lonely pathetic world. Sad sad sad! "
"Good to hear you but Brendan remember you dont have to change your team ever now and again. one or two additions and useless ones out when the project is achieved. Most teams wont know now until they can no longer continue with the debts they`ve built. We dont want to go to the stock market to remain in contention pls. I hope u be our new Bill Shankly."
"rushie stop being such a whiny little douchebag man. Most lfc fans have waited 20 years, we can wait a little longer.You want to buy the club, you got money go ahead man. OTHERWISE STFU and let the people in charge try to get us back to the top. Big deal u got a season ticket man, i live in the usa but my cousins live on mersey and they have tickets and unlike you they aint givin up"
"Are we gonna stick with the policy. Only buying players for below market value? Fantastic scheme, but will it work? maybe 1 in 10 clubs might be desperate enough?
"
"I still wish to see Downing sold. With Liverpool price we paid for him, the club shouldn't have to train his mental again and again. He 's not a young player."
"What is really amazing is some lfc fans think soton did us when it was said clearly br had no interest in signing either that idiot ramirez or forren who actually thinks he has signed for a big club instead of the relegation battle he will be in soon.Now how hard is that for anyone with a peas worth of intelligence to understand?"
"I was reading some of the brazil teams their gameplan was hit hard and hit FIRST. Ronaldo r9 always wanted to start and get his goals in because later in a game things get complicated.We should relax AFTER we hammer the fight out of a team, not before like we did against manure, in the first waffling about like a sunday afternoon drive...this should be our plan A!"
"YEAH YEAH .. FED UP WITH THE TALK .. KEEP TARGETS QUIET TILL WE SIGNED THEM , LIKE THE OLD LFC !..ALL TALK THEN WE DONT CLOSE THE DEAL , NEWCASTLE DONT MESS AROUND AND SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DO IT ! Steve , Spain "
"No alonso please he had his time here done well for us but has slowed down a lot and he's too old there is a few players in la ligament much younger with similar qualities."
"What is with the impersonation on this page (and I assume others)? Cripes, people. If you're going to pretend to be someone else at least get the spelling right. Better still, let's have a discussion without immature skulduggery, shall we?"
