For attacking midfielders we are fine so it would make little sense to go for Isco. We need a defensive midfielder though.

I would assume that Kroos may be coming in for Xabi.

I thought Can was our defensive midfielder purchase? Haven't heard us linked with any other DMs either. If Kroos is going to play deep then maybe Illarramendi might be an option?!

In the queue again this morning. It really is a job to get tickets for games.

Had no luck yesterday and sat in the queue for over an hour.

Are all your queue times showing "over an hour"?

I got Arsenal WBA and Aston Villa tickets this morning, in and out of the system in under 10 mins

Wonder if anyone is surplus to requirements at Real now? Isco maybe?!

We'd have to get rid of Coutinho or Lallana to accommodate him.

How!?

What time did you log on at? I was on at 8.15 and im still in the queue with 20 minutes queue time depsite all the games being sold out bar Everton and Leicester.

Any tips for next time? Definitely not bothering with a membership after this though.

I had the site opened from 7:20, there was what seemed like a queue, then the site closed at 7:30 i left it alone did not refresh and then when it opened at 8:15 i had a 2 minute wait and got in.

I had it open around 8 and it said it was closed....maybe for again Il try what you did. Very disapointing.

They should be able to give you a more accurate queue time.

11 minutes left, but the only game I can make is the sunderland one. i think the tickets will be gone

Ended up with a ticket for the Leicster game, not sure I really want to head over to it on New Years but it was all that was available. I had a holiday booked for the only other two available.
I didn't realise you could only buy one ticket at a time.

Don' think I will either. Its basically a tax for access to a ticket system which doesn't work.

How so? You buy a ticket for said match and then it sends you out of the queue? I thought you could buy tickets for a few matches once you are in?

When you select your game its takes you to a summary screen you then click again on home games to go back to the games to select another

It will do that if you go to checkout and pay for the ticket as others have said

after placing your ticket in the basket go to Home games and you can buy more.

joe123 · 17-07-2014 10:31AM

Well after 2 hours and 15 minutes waiting I got in. Could have bought two tickets for the Leicester game but not side by side.

Issues getting that time off work and it being in the middle of Christmas I had to pass.

The sooner we expand the stadium the better!

Always hard to tell.

I was just going to settle for the Auto Cup Scheme for the FA Cup but thought why not go for more so have it worked out

Sept - Aston Villa
Oct - WBA
Nov - Newcastle away
Nov - Stoke
Dec - Arsenal

Now just have to find the flights and somewhere to stay

All this talk of the Livepool site being terrible and yet nobody mentions that every time you visit it, you have to click on that stupid Enter LFC link! Infuriating :mad:

Use a direct link to a subpage e.g. http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news

Not sure if it's all browsers, but I usually had to click "Enter LFC" twice with firefox on mac - clicking it first time just bring me back to the same page, so I use the link above now instead

Wages aside, i think kroos much rathers playing as the most advanced midfielder rather than a deeper midfielder which helped leading to his departure? Id say isco can be got for the right price and i would love for us to be in for him but id rather sign some defensive players first. Looks like illara and iscos transfers have been a bit of a failing so far.

Knex* · 17-07-2014 11:52AM

Bring Kroos and 'Ronnie' home.

flanzer · 17-07-2014 12:12PM

You really are powerless when Real and Barca come knocking. Not even FIFA can stop Barca making transfers

Meh, as long as we get our own money's worth before selling for 4x profit, it doesn't bother me. I'd rather sell to either of them any day of the week than see a player make a snakey ship jump or try to force a move to another team in the PL.

slingerz · 17-07-2014 12:26PM

Liverpool supposedly looking to land Micah Richards according to Twitter. Less than 12 months left on his contract with City and looks to be destined for the exit door this summer

Would be a good addition for a cheap fee i think. Rodgers looks to be getting in 2 players for each position. Think Wisdom/Kelly are likely to go on loan with Flanagan being a possibilty, with Enrique, Lucas, Kolo, Agger facing the exit sign also.

Championship manager stuff to have the 2 players in each position though especially if they land the rumoured targets

klose · 17-07-2014 12:29PM

With the cash we have micah would be very underwhelming, hes a sick note and barely played the last 2 sesons.

Agent Coulson · 17-07-2014 12:32PM

Richards, Bertrand are these really the caliber of player we are really looking at?

Does Brendan Rodgers really want to be scrapping the bottom of the barrel just to prove what a great coach he is trying to trun no hopers and injury plagued players into squad players!

It's not like we a broke and can't afford top class players. I'm not even talking about World Class or Marquee players!

Luckycharms_74 · 17-07-2014 12:37PM

Some quotes from Tony Evans who was on The Anfield Index podcast

Evans: "When I said expect a few surprises, I meant as in players who you might look at and wonder why them? It's all part of a plan"

Evans: "I cant see a marquee type signing, that's just not the Liverpool way. Instead, it's people ready to take that next step"

Evans: "People need to stop comparing Rodgers to Shanks. This is giving him pressure he doesn't need, let him become his own man"

Evans: "The club have told us the Moreno deal is dead, I've got a sneaky suspicion, it's not over yet. They might still get him"

Evans:"Real and Barca entered into a bidding war with Suarez, but after the bite, Madrid walked away. He could have been a £100m player"

Evans: "This conspiracy theory that FSG will use the money from Suarez' sale to redevelop Anfield, is not true. That's taken care of"

Evans: "FSG want to win, it's their single focus, they'll reinvest money from sales into the squad. For them, it's their sole focus"

slingerz · 17-07-2014 12:44PM

Cant go signing first team starters all of the time. Liverpool need to build a squad and the likes of Bertrand/Richards would be squad options rather than first name on the teamsheet signings.

With the extra games due to the CL next season as well as a renewed focus for progress in the cups the squad needs to be improved to cope with the extra games. These players will do that and provide options to Rodgers.

If he had a release clause, this statement doesn't make any sense.
