there's also no way villa would sell him for £15m imo.

Not sure what his contractual status is and whether he can perhaps force his way out of Villa.

Maybe our friend Mr Houllier may help his old pals out.

I for one would be delighted if the most recent names we have been linked with (A Young, S Dann and A Carroll) joined LFC in January. Won't get much change from £40M so may need to move a few on in ordr to free up funds.

maybe we can get Juventus to buy Aqualani in Jan, instead of the summer.

Personally, i'd still let Babel go. OK, he played well in the week, but if someone came in with a 10+ million offer then i'd take it.

Young and Carroll would be two fantastic signings, especially in Jan. :nod

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has dismissed rumours linking him with moves for Ronaldinho, Ashley Young and Luis Suarez in January.

The Reds boss will be watched closely over his activity in the transfer market in January following New England Sports Ventures' takeover in October, where he is expected to have some money to spend.

All three players are likely to command an eight-figure sum from their respective clubs, but despite Hodgson stating that he admired Young, no negotiations with his club, Aston Villa, had taken place.

"Ronaldinho and Suarez are players who we have never even thought about but I would think there is not a manager in the Premier League who has not given Ashley Young a thought at some stage or another," said Hodgson.

"But giving a player a thought and thinking 'This is a good player' and signing him are two vastly different things.

"I could give you quite a long list of players in the Premier League who I admire and think are very good.

No truth
"But there is no truth in the rumour. If you are asking if there are any negotiations taking place between Aston Villa and Liverpool, then there aren't."

NESV's principal figures John Henry and Tom Werner are on Merseyside at the current time, and Hodgson admitted he was impressed by their plans, opting to focus on bringing through young talent rather than a quick fix.

"We have got new owners who are working unbelievably hard and putting in enormous hours at the club, both here physically, as they are at the moment, and even when they are in America spending hours studying games and liaising with us here," he added.

"They are very interested in pushing the club forward but they want to push it forward in the right way.

"I have been impressed with their thoughts when we have discussed the squad, players and transfers.

"But at the moment we haven't got to the stage where we have sat down and said we are going to do this or that - that will certainly feature in our discussions while John and Tom are in the country.

"Going out and splashing a load of money on players who may or may not be the ones for us in the future might not just be the right way.

"We might need to be more logical and certainly do a lot more research and have an approach which not just takes in four months of 2011 but also takes into account 2011 through 2015 to bring this club back up to where it wants to be.

"I don't think we are alone in that situation, I think clubs in the Premier League are being pushed by fans and mass media to go out and splash money.

"But, with the notable exception of Manchester City, most others have a slightly different approach and I don't see why we should be any different to that''

Have you by any chance considered working as a professional football scout? I mean it's not like anyone else in the world of english football has even noticed or talked about Nasri this season. You are indeed the first to draw our attention to that particular player but now that you mention him, I suppose you might actually be right (as always). So to answer your question in a word: Yes.

What is your point re Nasri in this thread though? Do you reckon Arsenal are about to offload him and if so have you had a word in Roy's ear about him? Or were you simply once again proving the point that you are in fact always right?

You would rather see us have a $hit season,

than signing 3 or 4 non-cup tied players and giving it a good crack for the rest of the season?

Who knows where we'll end up in this crazy division in which we participate? and as for the FA & UEFA cup anything can happen there.

Apparently we're a very good chance of signing Luis Suarez. Yes please :nod

He's a good player but NOT suitable for long ball ...

by **centarec** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 5:14 pm

Suarez would be a nice addition to our squad. Add a top cb and a good winger and thats all we need

11 goals in 22 games, hardly awful.
However the 7 match suspension for biting isn't great.

I dont know if someone has said it because I cant be ar'sed reading it all but I would break the bank for Leighton Baines. I would also look at Kevin Nolan and dare I say it Joey Barton.
We need a proper left back and someone with balls
