"I'd say he should be priority #1. I'm a big fan of 4-3-2-1 or 4-2-3-1 and he'd be great in either of those formations. Honda can play center, right or left. He's also brilliant from free kicks as we saw in the World Cup. Considering his price and Standard Charter wanting an Asian player, this man should be perfect."
"just what we need to open the Asian market again not just for his footballing skills but for marketing aswell remember Nakamura class thats what we need hate to say it but he could be our creative insperation that we are missing."
"K.Honda would be a great asset to the club in a squad strengthening capacity. £12 million (if accurate) is a bargain for a 'star' who would bring that sort of revenue to the club in the Asian market over the duration of any contract.
Should be 1 of 5 signings! "
"Honda is a great player. i been watching him for many years.The fact that he is asian is not that inporant however the fact that this lad has a great future is more inportant.The Liverpoo way is to keep thing behind closed doors and this types are rumors are common. do i belive this no. do i want this yes."
"They NEED to get Honda. Amazing player, who needs to be at a better club. He would make the 12m selling maerchandise alone! Cmon John, Damien.. Get him signed up!"

"Dont spend that much money on HIM plz ! He wares watches on both his arms because he thinks its so cool !
Im Japanese too but NOT 12m for HONDA seriously. Shinji Kagawa from Borussia Dortmund is much better than him(for Japanese). I sware to land of anfield."
"This is vast becoming an on-going saga... just buy him already!! will bring in so many asian supporters, not that we don't have any, but look what Park did for Man Utd, its about time Liverpool got an Oriental in the team!!!!! COME ON!!!"
"TheHazzard, Liverpool doesnt need asian players to get asian fans, LFC is Massive hit globally.. trust me im from india... anyway we need to get honda..."
"was very much a fan, but my views change after the recent asian cup.. but i do think we need this guy, to strengthen our hold on asia.. but priority should remain 2 wngs, a LB, n maybe a midfielder.. we desperately need a playmaker. stevie g aint getiing younger.. but, in king kenny i trust.
"
"Ok he's no Maradona but he is a hell of a player, calm like a bomb on the ball. Makes things happen. The sort of player we are really short of. He could play on the wing or as attacking mid, very impressive at the Asian Cup too..."
"Ok enough is enough how many Players can you actually have on top of your wish list..? Thats right 1 so is it Young, Adam,Honda,McCarthy or God knows how many more have been mentioned,lets get our act together and focus on the last remaining games and try for that 5th spot.YNWA"
"This rumor has been floating around for a while, but hopefully the fact it hasn't died out yet means there is some truth behind it, he would be a great aquisition for the club, good move for the sponsors & just maybe, a little morale boost for fan in Japan. YNWA!"
"AS PER USUAL WE WILL ACT TOO SLOWLY TO GET THIS GUY, THERE IS AN OLD SAYING MORE IS LOST THROUGH INDECISION THAN NO DECISION AT ALL. IF WE DONT LEARN TO ACT MORE QUICKLY WE WILL NEVER BE IN THE RUNNING FOR THE BEST PLAYERS OUT THERE, SOMETHING TO CONSIDER KENNY AND DAMIEN "
"Riccardo Montolivo(Fiorentina) Steven Defour(Standard Liege)Axel Witsel(Standard Liege)Yohann Cabaye (Lille)Ever Banega(Valencia) 5 of the TOP TOP TOP, playmakers in all of Europe if i was in charge these guys would already be here."
"In the spirit of keeping things behind closed doors maybe our press officer should stop leaking our potential targets to any and all media outlets around. the less attention surrounding our own targets from other prying eyes, the better chance we have of signing whoever we want without getting into ridiculous bidding wars. Abramovich= slave trader"
"one can only hope, but this transfer rumour section almost never pans out. im inclined to believe that it is a merely a source of misinformation so that the real targets can be acquired "
"Honda is good quality, and according to some news I read about Liverpool owners wanting some Asians in the club for marketing issues, I think he fits the bill. I hope his agent isnt serious about the player staying another summer in the russian league."
"I don't trust this source. I know for a fact that Honda's agent has just given a public statement confirming that Honad is quite happy at CSKA an has no intention of leaving Moscow this or next season."
