What I hope to see also to see some changes in midfield . we need someone who is a good playmaker and who can control the middle of the pitch . Sadly in recent times SG seemed to be not performing up to par as he is always injured.

i saw borini goals in youtube n he look very much like a fox in the box player which we are solely lacking in terms of finshing what we have created, looks like an exciting prospect wif him & suarez upfront..........would very much prefer AC to stay as he present a different option n he was juz beginning to show his true form so give him anor season to impress..........as for the midfield, hope AA & JC can step into that playmaker role or BR can get this guy joe allen fr swansea, hope he can get dempsey as well........i juz hope they will loan out or sell henderson as i really do not see any potential in him..................YNWA

Rodriguez reminds me of good players like Vladimir Smicer who, while they were not outstanding, not given enuff playing time ... BUT when called upon as subs they sometimes produce on big occasions, tend to score goals, sometimes crucial ones. We will miss Rodriguez for sure ... juz glad he'll not be joining anthr EPL team.

I am not expecting many goals from Borini, maybe 8-12.
In Rodgers system, I think he will play more on the right, basically a direct replacement for Kuyt.
From what I seen, he is a HUGE improvement from Kuyt and he's a really good signing for a good price.

Joe Allen is a good prospect too but I'd like to see Henderson given a chance in the middle cos I think he can show his true potential.
As reports claim, only Charlie Adam is the unwanted midfielder right now and has been offered to Fulham.

I will miss Maxi too, he would have fit into Rodger's system well but what to do?
Good man, great memories, all the best!

What I heard from the grapevine is that more will be leaving after the brutally honest team meeting BR had with them. BR has a ruthless streak in him. Basically the message he put across was do it MY WAY or get the fuck out of here.

[chochochang2]

We are still pretty light in the wide areas..

Maxi Rodriguez is gone, that leaves us with only Downing as an out and out winger.

Bellamy and Joe Cole can play wide too, though. Don't think Sterling will play as much as the more senior players do.

Now that Fabio Borini has arrived to strengthen the forward department, perhaps Brendan Rodgers should concentrate on buying some wide players to balance the team?

[Regaine]

He sure got killer instinct .

That's what convinced me to leave Liverpool. I loved Liverpool and enjoyed my time in Anfield. But Brendan's system is alien to some of us and demanding that we be familiar with it in a few weeks is impossible.

His open letter to fans..

http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/late...letter-to-fans

Dear Reds, I am leaving Liverpool FC today.

Before signing for LFC, I just saw the club as one of the greatest institutions in football. After my time here I can confirm that this is not just a great club but also a great family.

I have tried to give everything every day that I was wearing the LFC crest. It has been a great honour to defend this shirt during two and a half years. I am returning home with a suitcase full of great memories, good friends within the team and also within this great family that works every day in the club. Thanks a lot for your support. You can NOT imagine what a great honour it was for me when the Kop sang, 'Maxi, Maxi Rodríguez runs down the wing for me da da da da dada...'

Hasta la vista.

Maxi

this is CLASS...

goodbye & good luck.... YNWA

Hmmm...... Maxi does not read or write English. He can only speak very simple English. Often the other players have to translate for him.
So how come he can write such a good letter?

Bellamy may not be around. He wants to return to his native Cardiff.

Other players translate and wrote out the letter for him? Why not? It's a pretty straight-forward letter.

Thanks for the videos Regaine. Watching the videos, he seemed to be another Torres for us. That's nice. Plus we don't have to wait for him to get accustomed to English football. Good age too.

I think we may need another centre-back. Carra is getting older and slower. Agger does seem to be unlucky with injuries. Hope Coates will play more this season.

yes please, Danny Wilson too!
Wilson has the talent, just needs attention and nurturing from a willing coach.

The rumour for this one is strong : Clint Dempsey

Clint Dempsey: Liverpool Transfer Makes the Most Sense for USMNT StarBy Ned Harwood(Featured Columnist) on July 14, 2012 11,922 reads

Next Scott Heavey/Getty Images Apart from the Robin Van Persie saga, the Clint Dempsey dilemma might be the most talked about EPL transfer story so far this offseason. Every single week there seems to be a new twist to the story, as the Fulham star looks destined for a club upgrade in the next couple of weeks.

Arsenal and Liverpool seem to be the favorites for the American at this point, but as of right now, nothing has materialized between the two prestigious clubs and Dempsey’s current Fulham.

A move to Anfield makes the most sense for Clint Dempsey, and here’s why.

First off, it is evident that Dempsey is indeed a late bloomer and just entered his prime last season at the age of 28. That being said, he needs to be able to get maximum first team action these next couple of years if a team wants to get the most for their money.

Of all the potential teams interested, Liverpool is maybe the one club that would be an upgrade from Fulham, but could still allow him to compete every weekend and make significant contributions. Arsenal already have a plethora of attackers, and considering how much Wenger likes to develop his young players, might give the nod to Ryo Miyaichi or Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in games where Dempsey could be playing.

Also, changing leagues always results in a little adjusting-time for any player, and that adjusting time could keep Dempsey out of the first XI for a little bit and create an unnecessary road bump in his prime.

With Maxi Rodriguez gone and Bellamy possibly on his way out, Dempsey could step in and continue right where he left off: playing the full 90 week in and week out—and scoring goals.

Although Dempsey has stated his desire to play Champions League Football and Liverpool failed to qualify for the 2012-13 campaign, recent aggression in the transfer market hint that the Reds could be back battling for a top-four spot in the next couple of years.

Fabio Borini became the first signing for Brendan Rodgers a couple days ago and now Daniel Sturridge is heavily linked with the club. Add that to the fact that Carroll finished the season on a strong note and Suarez will be looking for redemption and you have a team that will could legitimately make Dempsey’s UCL dreams come true.

Finally, Liverpool already has one of the biggest fanbases in the United States, but the signing of the USMNT’s star player right before the club goes on their American tour would be absolutely fantastic for the expansion of their brand.

Liverpool Dempsey jerseys would sell like hot-cakes. This type of signing, arguably the biggest in US soccer history, would result in hours of coverage that would be incredibly beneficial for the club and its popularity.

So who doesn’t win if this deal goes down?

Dempsey gets what he wants in significant playing time and a potential chance for UCL football down the road. Liverpool get what they want in a proven goal-scorer who can immediately contribute and massive publicity in the United States.

Fulham get their deserved cash and finally get this transfer saga over with. It’s a win-win-win situation. It’s only a matter of time before we see Dempsey call Anfield his home.

Don't know how reliable is the source but he would made an exciting option as an attacking midfielder if the news is true .

Will he be our next signing only time will tell . He definitely looks like a good replacement for AC , CA or even SD .

There is no buyer for Caroll right? Maybe a cut loss price of 15mil would draw some attentions!
