Hang on a second lads......the decisions about the academy are made by a certain Kenny Dalglish.

If Kenny says no, thats good enough for me.

on their way

Getting rid a 2 talented youngsters 4 an old left back. We have agger aureilio, Wilson and carra who can all play there. For every great signing Roy (i persume he has the final say) makes he signs an unnecessary player and wastes what little money we have. Jones, Koncheskey, Poulsen WTF thats nearly 11 million which coulda gone towards a Cissokho, Turan, Lukaku type marquee sigining . Cannot 4 the life of me understand this signing if it happens

Liverpool thrown in Lauri Dalla Valle and Alex Kacaniklic to clinch £4m Paul Konchesky from Fulham

Liverpool threw in two promising youngsters, Lauri Dalla Valle and Alex Kacaniklic, to help clinch the £4million capture of Fulham left back Paul Konchesky.

The teenagers had medicals yesterday at Fulham, who also concluded a £2.25m deal for PSV Eindhoven defender Carlos Salcido.

Dalla Valle, 18, is a promising Finland Under 19 striker and Swede Kacaniklic, 19, is a midfielder.
Paul Konchesky

So we received no fee for two of our most talented kids ...they just went some way to subsidizing  the Konchesky deal

£4m for a 29 year old 'better than average' LB is laughable, I'd be hoping for a better and younger LB than that for that money.

Throwing in two kids just makes it worse, although maybe it is a sign Woy is clearing out the youth and reserves squad. Maybe he wants to bring in some 'young' 27 year olds, I am seriously concerned at the age of players he is signing. We need a better balance, players not just for the next 2-3 seasons, although that may be as long as he lasts, but for the next 4-5 years and then 6-7 years and then 8-9 years. No point planning TOO FAR ahead but, leave a little scope for players to develop.

And for those that love net spending, don't expect it to last if Woy is going to pay premium price for 28-29+ year olds as we won't get much from sales if they don't work out or when they move on ie the squad cost may remain similar, but when we come to sell I can't see us getting £4m for Koncheskey, Poulsen etc etc
