There are some great pictures over on Getty.

I am so disappointed that didn't go in, that would have been a just way for Carra to bow out.

I must admit I shed a tear during that time - so sad when a long term stayer has to go.
Yes that shot if only it shifted a fraction right soso fitting, how was the crowd reaction loved it.
Amazing to see whilst Carra playing his last game and Ibe's debut was impressive to say the least ! good on you kid I liking what I saw.

Jordon Ibe showed some promise but he was up and down. But he needs to go out on loan for first team experience. He's not going to get that at Liverpool any time soon.

Now we must look forward to next season. If we keep Suarez, our attack would be very dangerous indeed. Coutinho, Suarez, and Sturridge, with Sterling as backup. Fantastic.

As well as Borini.

We need to make some changes to defence and more depth in midfield though. And another striker wouldn't exactly hurt.

What's been organised in terms of Carra's testimonial? Was talking about it the other night with a mate, and Carra+Owen vs Beckham+Scholes would be absolutely unreal!

Carra's testimonial was back in 2010 :lol:

There are reports on skysports that Liverpool and West Ham have agreed to a fee for Andy Carroll.

Don't know if Ryan Giggs will get another one, his was in 2001, Ruud van Nistelrooy's first match for the club :lol:

15m for Andy. I will certainly take that

Just need Andy to say yes.

For 15m they're getting ripped off something shocking. Good show.

We're being very strongly linked Kyriakos Papadopoulos. Would love that, tough as nails and a bit of a lunatic :lol: I hope we get him.

You're also being very strongly linked to Kolo Toure :lol:

Can't say he's not a good defender when fit and playing regularly.

I wouldn't be against it, just depends on wages I guess.

He's 32 and hasn't really been close to being worth taking a chance on for years. Maybe for a mid-table club, but certainly not for a club with ambitions to get into the Champions League.

I don't think he'd be a regular but for an experienced head in the backline it's not a bad idea.

If it was my decision I wouldn't sign him but if BR thinks it's needed I trust him.

ROFL liverpool fans, I said a few pages back that you should chase Kolo. Yet you all scoffed at it? hahaha

Kolo's alright. He doesnt have a problem at all with being on the bench and playing 3rd fiddle.

Would love Papado.... the Greek one so much.

This would be brilliant. Tall, strong, young, vocal defender. Exactly what we need to play next to Agger. And for the rumoured 15m that's a quality deal.

Will be interesting being confirmed what players are out and who's in.
Look like much happenning which is good but till confirmed can't say Yay or nay !

There's a HEAP going on and that's just with what we've had confirmed by club members.

We know they've had an offer for Reina but valuations were far removed.
We know that they're looking for an experienced CB to replace Carra.
We know that they're looking for a commanding CB to come in.
We know Andy Carroll is on the way out the door.

And the window isn't even open yet.

Sidebar, if a deal is struck for Reina, who do we replace him with? Do you gamble on a smaller name player who could be in a purple patch like Vorm? Or do we look overseas?

Begovic and Zieler have been linked.

Zieler's ex-United. They can keep him.
Begovic I don't rate.

I don't get why everyone's so hung up on Butland. The guy hasn't even played a premier league game yet! Fuck, I'd rather we went for Mitch Langerak than bloody Butland.

Personally I'd rather see us looking at someone like Vivano or Vermeer.

Hell, if you insist on going young Bernd Leno had a blinder of a season at Leverkusen, it's his second year starting and he'd set us back about 10-12m.

If we were going to sign a keeper it's because Reina's departed. Butland's too young and inexperienced to be starting for a side harbouring top 4 ambitions. Plus it has the potential to backfire spectacularly.

No, given a choice between Stoke's keepers I'd take Begovic. That said, I don't want either.

Skrtel has said he would seriously consider a move if an offer comes in.

Re: the whole keeper situation - I feel like Reina's hesitance to move might cause some issues. Either you'll be stuck with him, or the club will accept a "too good to refuse"

WE've been linked with a swoop for Porto's Christian Atsu.

I'd let him go if a decent offer came in. I still genuinely think he's a weak point in our defence.

The lad has some promise. Lot of pace. And apparently the deal is only for 3m which would be a bargain in any regard. Better than the Assaidi deal at any rate.

Papa had a fitness test on his knee by liverpool Docs but did not pass. Still has some minor issues with it. That said they are still keen on him as he is with Liverpool. Further tests to be done in the next fortnight. Have no link but in touch with a very very good friend of his.
