We play man city twice in a season,

Its all bull, Man u lost twice to them last season still finished level on pts,
We should worry about how we play rather than worry about mega rich clubs,

Former LFC player Fernando Torres has won the Euro 2012 golden boot. He scored 3, like a few other players, but did it in the least amount of minutes so he wins it. Fair play to him.

I wonder do Paddy Power pay out on Torres or do they divide his odds. I remember having David Villa in the world cup but the odds were divided as it was a draw.

They will divide the odds.

Thought Gomez got it because of an assist?....although Torres got one tonight so they would have to divide it between 2.

Yeah Torres got one too - does it go to assists first and then minutes played?

EDIT - yeah assists first then minutes played

He is talking about Reina obviously. Pepe played a dead rubber or two, that's about it in terms of finals appearances.

Read sine article that had a bunch of tweets after it:

Liverpool supporter Sean (‏@SeanMLFC) reckons Rodgers’ side have no need for a central midfielder: “Stop fretting about Gylfi Sigurdsson. It’s June, we’ve got plenty of time to sign players. And to be honest we’re sound in CM anyway. #LFC#Chill”

If Sig doesn't sign for us, I'm loading up Fifa, sticking him in a Spurs jersey and booting him up and down the pitch with Agger.

That WILL teach him.

That's a fake account.

I think he said he'd make up his mind.
I don't think he said he'd announce anything.
There's probably stuff going on behind the scenes.

Are we still interested in this chap?.......

Luuk de Jong's agent says the striker has decided to leave FC Twente this summer and insists money will not be a factor behind his next move.

The Netherlands international scored 25 goals in the Eredivisie last season and he is a target for Newcastle United and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Newcastle have already failed with one bid of €10million (£8million) and they are reported to have upped that to €12million (£10milion).

Twente are understood to want in excess of €15million (£12.1m) for De Jong, with the Magpies having sent a delegation to Holland at the end of last week to hold talks.

Alan Pardew's side may now have been given further encouragement regarding their interest in De Jong after his agent Louis Laros confirmed the forward is ready to move on.

Development

"Luuk has taken the decision to move on," Laros told TC Tubantia. "He wants to develop as a player in a bigger league.

"The important thing for us is the development of Luuk. Not the money, but the way of playing and the amount of playing time he will get will be decisive.

"Luuk scored 25 goals in the Dutch league last season, how many more does he need to score? 35?"

He added in Voetbal International: "Luuk is still a Twente player. If the right club comes along then he will happily make the move.

"The club doesn't need to be a top club, but a good club in a big league where Luuk can play regularly and develop as a player."

Shteve said De Jong is going nowhere for anything less than "stupid" money - so LFC it is then!

The Liverpool media rubbishing the Lloris to Liverpool story.

Moses played well in the last 10 games of the season and showed some glimpses that he could be a very good player.

However, hard to know what he'd bring to Liverpool. Need more creativity rather than strenght. I suspect he's a player that needs to play alot to get up his form and confidence and I don't think he would at liverpool.

Supplement Whelan for Valentine!

Dickerty

Seriously, we are getting linked with some very average players - Moses, Davis, Sinclair, Dempsey, Johnson. They all have potential, or have done at a lower level, but how much better are they than Downing, Adam, Hendo, Bellamy or Shelvey?

Please, let us invest OVER the current level. Make our first team players into squad players, and buy first teamers - Jovetic, Ramirez, Rodriguez. Keep the back 5 intact, with a core of Lucas, Gerrard and Suarez up the middle, and invest in a real way to make it an XI that will challenge the best...

Grayditch

Dave Whelan is buying a megaphone and a tiny little wooden hammer as we speak.

amiable

£12 million sounds crazy money for a player of his ability and experience who is in the last year of his contract.
It would seem that Dave (the mouth) Whelan is actively trying to start an auction and generate interest.
If potential buyers feel that Wigan want to sell it will put them in a stronger position.

Always find it strange how we are linked with players in the media and people here assume it's a fact and slate the clubs ambition and transfer policy.

Whatever about last summer I think people are still scarred after signing Paul Konchesky and Christian Poulsen 2 years ago.
I agree with you though that nobody knows what's happening behind the scenes and a lot of the speculation is started by agents.

Markus Babbel

Gylfi is near agreement with a PL club. I assume transfer will be done by the end of the week

Well, it does seem to be club policy to buy players who have played in the Premier League. It's frustrating, especially when you have less prestigious clubs like Newcastle buying excellent, young, European-based players. They have recently bought Santon, Cabaye, Cisse, Ba, Ben Arfa, etc for a lot less than we paid for the likes of Henderson, Carroll and Downing, and are now being linked with the likes of Debuchy, De Jong, Douglas, etc.
