Liverpöol · 08-06-2009, 08:35 AM

nzgangster · 08-06-2009, 09:23 AM

nzgangster · 08-06-2009, 09:26 AM

I reckon £8m. Something like that.

AnfieldG8 · 08-06-2009, 09:56 AM

How much did we get him for?

LFCtorresLFC · 08-06-2009, 12:01 PM

Bought him for £7m. I'd be pleased with £5m back.

Tomkins latest article:TOMKINS: THE PLAYERS LIVERPOOL LACKED

As usual most of it is boring stats, but it does show that Agger is the lalalalaing king. 2.4 points a game with him in the team which is pretty impressive.

Newly appointed Academy director Frank McParland outlines some of the changes he is overseeing as a new and exciting era begins down in Kirkby.

There has been much speculation recently on the future direction of the Academy.

I was asked by Rafa Benitez to conduct a strategic review of the Academy earlier this year. The conclusions of that review have been fully accepted and agreed by Rafa and his technical team and will now be implemented under my direction. I will continue to report directly to Rafa.

Clearly, there are going to be changes in both personnel and the way we do things at the Academy, but uppermost in our minds is need to provide the best possible environment for the future development of all our young footballers.

It has been decided that separate branding for the Academy will no longer be used - including the sign on top of our building. The Academy is an integral part of the club and will now be badged accordingly. It has a hugely important part to play in the future success of Liverpool FC and the change reflects that fact.

There will be much closer liaison between Melwood and the Academy, and Rafa himself has been hugely supportive of the direction in which we want to move forward.

We will examine every part of the Academy's operation and will be looking to make improvements not just in the coaching set-up, but also in areas such as medical, physio and fitness work. One new initiative will see the appointment of a head of sports science, who will tailor specific programmes for individual age groups to help them progress more quickly.

We will also assess the current facilities and where necessary invest in upgrading these. We have already committed to renewing both of the astro-turf pitches and work on this project will begin shortly.

I spoke before of changes in the staffing structure and our first appointment has been Jose Segura, who took up his role as Academy technical manager on June 1.

Jose brings huge experience to the role, having worked at Barcelona for both their youth system and Barca B team, where he helped develop world class players such as Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique, Victor Valdes, Bojan Krkic, Mikel Arteta and Cesc Fabregas.

He has also had great success in Greece, at both AEK Athens and later as manager at Olympiakos where he led the side to a Greek League and Cup double. Jose is a great appointment and the first of several key positions which we need to fill.

Work continues to identify the best possible people to get the Academy working properly again and producing players that can progress through to the first team. I hope to be able to confirm other additions to our team within the next month.

Jose will bring with him experience and ideas from working in other countries and it's important going forward that we combine the best influences from abroad with what I see as the English mentality. This to me embodies passion, aggression and desire. We want players who are hungry to play football and achieve success with Liverpool. We need to return to the philosophy of passing and moving quickly. We have to develop a winning mentality in every one of our players.

Sounds like big changes are ahead.

Yeah there was uproar about the comments on TIA.. They said that we MUST share a stadium, otherwise Liverpool won't get represented in the bid.. I don't give a lalalala is we are or not, sharing is not an option..

LFCtorresLFC · 08-06-2009, 03:56 PM

This happens every 1-2 years. Always get turned down...don't know why they keep asking us to.

Why not. It's his agent thta has said all this stuff everyday. I've seen an articel last week where Lavezzi himself said that he wants to stay at Napoli but we all know that we it would be hard for him to turn us down if Napoli accept our offer.I would love him here personally.

D-Smith-LFC · 08-06-2009, 05:01 PM

Nahh don't want Levezzi here, simple as that.

Just not the type of player I'd like to see at the club, havent seen much of him anyway and don't want, Ive read enough about him to know he's a head down player.

Just my opinion.

steve1892 · 08-06-2009, 05:07 PM

What would you all think about Obafemi Martins playing for us? Personally I think he'd be a fantasic signing. You?

If he wanted to sit on the bench then yes but i don't think he would be.

If he'd be willing rotate and not expect to play everygame and be willing to improve his game and work hard for the club then why not

really?

he is napolis only player along with hamsik who has any notable ability. he is also a massive fan favorite, as it says in the post: his first thing to do is send a letter to the fans. he will be a player who respects us fans, which many players dont do these days. we also have his international captain masherano here, aswell as insua.

he is also exactly what we need, a creative player who can score goals, and can be the difference in 0-0's. he can play on either wing and up front also, i think he prefers up front but he can excel on the left wing

steve1892 · 08-06-2009, 05:24 PM

He'd be great back up for Nando. Plus he has Premier League experience which is a good factor. Would be quite pleased to see him flipping round Anfield next season.

Funny you say that. I played Spurs just now with Napoli and won 4-2. Hamsik hat-trick and a Lavezzi free-kick. lol

Edit: Sorry for double post

Didn't see Jammakane's post before I replyed the first time.
