Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 15/16

Doumbia on a loan to Newcastle...would gave liked a piece of that!

The Pato one I won't apportion too much blame, he'd have likely picked Chelsea regardless, but Doumbia could have been very useful to have and surely we're a bigger draw than Newcastle. Good finisher, good in the air, and makes runs in behind.

The amount of players that will have to come back from injury\loan that will contribute to this team seem to be get forgotten.

Flanagan came back and he was excellent for a chap that was coming back after over a year out of the game.

We have Ings and Gomez to come back next year. Both of which will contribute to the team in some capacity. Markovic will make an impact next season -I have no doubt about this.

I think it was good to see us go for Tex but not go for some ****ty back up when we couldn't get him.

I think Klopp is getting a good read of the club but will ousting a lot players in the summer - lucas needs upgrading, so does

I think we need 5 quality players brought in -ter stegen, matip, grujic, tex and a another and we need to clear 10 players out -

Money has this game ruined, the pl is a farce and is only going to get worse, i myself am becoming more distanced from football as the seasons go on and its mainly down to how money is ruining the game from ticket prices, transfers, agents fees and wages, keep this going and in a few years i for one will no longer give a flying **** about pl football unfortunatly:(

May I interest you in your local League of Ireland club? Tickets cost no more than E15, the current record transfer fee is about 50k, an agent asking for a fee from the club would be laughed out the door, wages are pretty modest and the top end wouldn't exceed 2k a week. Who knows you might catch a glimpse of the next Seamus Coleman.

Most of the mistakes have been the signing of players who don't work out, or over-paying for middling players, this is what we have done "over and over again".

And they should stop making those mistakes as well.

This isn't the first time the club have failed to improve the first team when trophies were on the line.

Jaysus. A non scorpy LOI post on the LFC thread. Fair play!

Doumbia is very injury prone though & looks about 40 as well. He was very poor at Roma too.

Who the hell are you? Name change or new to the thread? Either way, the new season of sunny is very good isnt it!

I'm happy enough with the transfer window and I'll share my secret why, you just gotta always expect a ****ty transfer window. Plus Klopp is our manager!!

Premier league pass is new Zealand I'm pretty sure. Users are using proxy's to watch the streams.

For $20 a month they get every game!

Coz they're not in the UK.

I pay €10 every 2 months and I get everything, including those PL streams, haven't had an issue in years touch wood....


Thing is they won't take new sign ups, which is grand I'm sure it prevents server overload...

I'd go with this. Would like to see both Firmino and Benteke
Clyne better than Moreno, even on that side.

no way lallana isnt starting. Klopp seems to fancy him due to his work rate and press. Expect a good game tonight could go either way i feel

8-10

2 up front away from home to the league leaders is madness

Firmino on his own up front please with Hendo, Milner, Can, Lallana and Allen pressing in midfield

Because broadcasters can only show each team a certain amount of times and have to show each team a certain amount of times

Chardee MacDennis

it's on NBC live stream tonight, which is free if you're in the US....

The Mig

Benteke shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11.

It's the way the PL sells its matches in certain regions.

It's available in New Zealand and a few other countries.

But at $20 a month it is very cheap when compared to Sky Sports.

Good Article on Ticket Prices

http://www.theanfieldwrap.com/2016/02/liverpools-ticket-prices-a-missed-opportunity/



I will go into those questions. But, firstly, some clarification to the club’s announcement:

• The club didn’t have the decency to send us a copy of their planned release. This despite an agreement throughout that we would all share planned releases on this. They were asked. They said they “hoped” they could share it with us. Hope. Instead, we are the only party that shared all our releases.
  
• Yes, 64 per cent of season ticket holders will see prices decrease or freeze. The rest go up. At greater increments than the decreases
  
• 45 per cent of match-day tickets see a decrease. The other 55 per cent? Same as above.
  
• Yes, there is a £9 ticket. But it is available for just three matches a season, and just 527 of them a game. That’s 1,581 seats priced at £9 out of a possible 878,693 seats a season.
  
• These local supporter tickets were introduced right at the end of the process, after we had asked for reductions to prices overall. This was their only “offer” with no consultation.
  
• There are additional tickets for young supporters, a move we pushed for throughout and one we now welcome. We have fears on the long-term sustainability but this move should be applauded.
  
• “13 months of consultation” is not a true reflection of what happened. We spent 13 months on it, but we haven’t been “consulted” — just presented with final plans and proposals.
• The Ticket Working Group is not a sub-group of the Official Supporters’ Committee. The Ticket Working Group is made up of reps from SOS, Spion Kop 1906 and the Supporters’ Committee and came about following protests and a request to meet with the club, one acknowledged by John Henry. It has been independent of the Supporters Committee throughout. The club can’t even bring itself to acknowledge the other supporter groups involved.
  
• The club have announced the highest match-day price to be £77. True, in their published prices. However the “Tier 1” proposals shown to us, have prices at: £175 for Category A matches, £100 for Category B and £85 for Category C. There are 834 of these tickets. The revenue for these seats was included in the £39million target for tickets set by the owners.
  
• The club now say that these higher-price tickets are “low-level hospitality”. For those prices, they should be. But they have been included in discussions on “general admission” prices in all proposals presented. This only changed very recently, when they changed the name.
  
• The club haven’t revealed yet what this “new” low-level hospitality will include. But in the same tier of prices where a season ticket costs £1,029, these prices are a 124 per cent mark up on average per match.
  
• If people accept that these seats are now “hospitality”, the much talked about redevelopment and seat increase associated with the new Main Stand shifts. We were told half the new seats would be general admission (approximately 4,000) and the other half hospitality seats. This changes that to nearer 3,000 and 5,000 respectively.

So they have split the stands up more to change different prices in different parts of the same stand

Good to see some cheaper general tickets and for youngsters as well.

Apparently we've scored the most goals in the last 15 minutes in the PL. If we stop conceding so many in the first 15, that would be great.
