Liverpool Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 *mod warning linked in OP 26/07*

Setback for Lallana. Even though its probably just the first 3 weeks of the season it will take another few to get up to speed.
This could result in Markovic seeing more gametime early on than previously intended

Mig on his way to join the team

He seems like the sort of guy who has natural fitness. I wouldn't expect that to be a problem really, just might not be as sharp as you would like.

In a way, I'd like to see the team pretty much unchanged from last season for the first few games, with the new players gradually coming into the team.

So the transfer rumours I have gathered today:
We are still top of the queue for Shaquiri, but need to pony up some more cash.
Juve have put a deadline on a deal for Vidal of 2nd August.
Assaidi's wage demands may kill the deal to Stoke.

In fairness it's pretty hilarious when someone is chastising multiple players in the team they support all season.....yet still picks most of those players over players who play in a team that finished 2nd.

Why not say that in the thread then and not talk about people where they might not see your post. The thread is fine other than the people who don't actually want to partake in the discussion trying to derail it instead of ignoring it.

Twitter talk of Shaqiri on his way for a medical.

I would be happy with it if it's true, the potential he has is outstanding and any game I've seen him play he's been outstanding. He'd fit into the squad straight away.

I actually tried it there in a united match thread before. Was great craic altogether. I just went in and said a simple, "januzaj is overrated" and all hell broke loose.

That zerks lad ended up getting a ban over it. I couldn't do it continuously though.

Pro tip - if you're going to troll don't be stupid enough to admit it. Apart from whatever the forum mods are going to throw at you, trolling is a sitebannable offence, so take a month off.

It's not really, some people are trying to make it out to be but it's a valid question. Probably the 2 teams the most question marks over them for the coming season towards the top. People are just looking for something to give out about.

It's not too bad so far but you just know it'll go tits up at some stage with a load of cards and bans and no one wants that.

Seriously lads, the easiest way to avoid mod action is just to talk about the football, you know Liverpool football club, the thing this thread is supposed to be about.

this is clearly stated in the first post of the charter

---

and yet there has probably been a few posts like the above taking digs at the moderation or at the very least doing what is specifically mentioned there and discussing the moderation. This will result in warnings and potentially more should it continue to happen and the charter continue to be ignored.

Lets talk football folks, do that and the thread will be a far better place, if you dont want to do that go to the off topic thread but if people are going to continue to break the charter rules in blatant and regular fashion like for example admitting to trolling then you can expect them to be actioned.

please do not respond to this warning on thread.

At the mods: Where can we constructively discuss the moderation?

At the mods: Where can we constructively discuss the moderation?

At the end of each season we have a feedback thread for any changes that should be made in the posters opinion. (most forums dont have this as far as I know)

As stated above if you have an individual query about moderation you can pm a mod or a CMod

Usually when a mod action is taken it is explained, people might not like that explanation or feel it goes into enough detail or the person who has been actioned might spin the situation but those things cannot be controlled by the mod team

If you feel you personally have been wronged by a mod in their decision there is the Dispute Resolution forum where you can post to get decisions reversed / looked at by CMods or admins

However if the issue you have is not in regard to you specifically then perhaps you should avoid this forum, as those people who were directly involved in the moderation issue will have had the opportunity themselves to go through such a process and often only themselves and the mod involved or the Cmods/ admins will know the full details. Issues are often made worse by posters who don't know the full extent of why someone else was actioned getting involved and having a go at moderation. There is also the feedback forum itself but this is usually only for big boards wide issues.

My last bolded post specifically called for moderation not to be discussed in thread so I (and I assume any other mods) will not be commenting further on this topic on thread so please people.... back to discussing football.

Shaquiri anyone?

Speaking of other threads does anyone else see the League of Ireland threads and think they say LOL fixtures... Etc?

Every single time There is a post somewhere from me saying asking the same thing a few years ago.

machiavellianme

No LOL fixtures are to do with Lambert, Origi and Lallana?

rob316

Shaqiri I wouldn't say no to alot of experience at the highest level which we need. I'm struggling to see though how we will fit in all these attacking players.
Is rodgers going to play a 2 man midfield? It's suicide with Gerrard in there imo he has is the holding midfielder there had to be two ahead of him.

Agent Coulson

It's starting to look like Brendan Rodgers is get a couple of midfields one to play in the PL/CL and then one for FA/League cups.

That can become interchangeable if needed.

Havnt a notion if said paper is rag worthy or reliable.

If he's having a medical today then it must be. £20m is the figure being reported by James Pearce, Tony Barrett and co.

kfallon wrote: »

Apparently so. Although I haven't seen any confirmation

rob316

All reports on lovren I read said he will be our most expensive defender of all time eclipsing the 18m paid for Sakho and Johnson. So 20m appears to be the fee.

Some clubs like to announce they have agreed a deal for X player subject to a medical but we just seem to announce a deal when it's all done.

Yep, he said that ages ago, have you only come across that now? ^^^^

Soft Falling Rain

Joe Cole i.e. the boyo who said he didn't want to join Spurs for fear of being seen as a mercenary due to his West Ham affiliation. No problem though taking £90,000 a week off a club which clearly he felt was beneath him.
