Indeed the have but Man Utd and Chelsea have improved even more than they have. Whilst Liverpool are a better team now the gap between them and the big two is possibly bigger. I'm not saying it won't happen but how exactly do Liverpool go about closing the gap on teams who have much more buying power than they do and far better current squads? The other teams aren't going to just sit on their asses and wait for Liverpool to catch up. Add to that Arsenal improvement and the Spurs, Man City, Everton, Villa threat from below and it's far from clean sailing.

Also I firmly think a change it attitude is needed from Benitez in order to win the league. He drops too many points leaving out key players and isn't attacking enough aginst weaker sides.

I dunno where to post this, but since you guys were heavily linked with Silva, I thought I'll post it here.

The Valencia pair of David Villa and David Silva are prepared to leave to ease the financial difficulties of their club...



Although they said that they are happy at Valencia, they both said that, "If the best thing for the club is to get some money and sell me then I'll accept that".

Sammy Lee is in talks with Liverpool to become Benitez's assistant manager.

That's very good news after Pako left back in September - you always need someone to run ideas by and keep you from doing the blatantly stupid, and also compliment your own attributes. We haven't had that this season. Sammy was an inexperienced manager taking the Bolton job on, and could well be utter crap as one anyway, but he's a top-notch coach and will be a great addition.

But if the players struggle to understand Carragher they have no chance with him.

Bouzanis has been called up to the U-21 Australia side. Not bad for a 17-year-old.

Also, Nemeth has made the senior Hungary squad.

I've heard a rumor on sky sports, that Chelsea are reayd to offer Liverpool 40 million to land fernando torres

Under-23s.

And he is currently rated as the world's best keeper under-18. I can back those claims having seen him play quite a few times. No one could score against him over here, even when he was playing under 18s with St George when he was only 15. The only goals scored against him were 2 v 1 situations and the like. He is strong, big and extremely quick and athletic. Good on him.

ive just sat down to read the paper and there is a horrifing section claiming Liverpool are ready to offer 10 mil for moluda someone please tell me this is a horrible lie

It is a horrible lie.

Don't you just hate the papers!

Yes, yes I do.

They [beep!] way to much.

I like reading the papers, gives me a good laugh during breakfast

This is not at all going well for all the parties involved ain't it?

Hope they'll soon find a solution and end all the speculations as its dragging on and on...

same old liveprool tapping up. first Benayoun, now Barry. i sympathise with O'Neill

im shocked we have never and will never tap up players we merley state that we like them then invite them for a casual talk involving how the club work's..... After that we send discreet messages to respective player's....

Now tell me wots the matter with that

Have you seen O'Neill lately? He's paraded our interest in the media at every given opportunity - he just wants to bump up any price if Barry does decide to eventually leave, by letting people know our interest and our offer.

He even had the nerve to say we'd released news of our offer to local papers, when the first anything was heard of it officially was in the Birmingham Post.

Oh and Malouda isn't unthinkable. He was one of our main targets in the summer, ahead of Babel.

He's not settled well though, as good a player as he is, and is too injury prone... not to mention a whinging b*stard.

D'Alessandro could be an option. As far as i know he's still under contract at Real Zaragoza who are on the brink of relegation and he has experience in the Premier League. Like Babel, he likes to cut in from the opposite wing onto his stronger foot and has the ability to pick a key pass. His affiliation with Mascherano may also help to lure him back to England.

Lee's glee at Anfield return:

So what do you Liverpool fans think. Is it good news or a bad news or nothing important???
