Whatever you need to pay in order to achieve success. If FSG are ambitious and want us at the top, they should spend.

Newcastle have just signed one of the top goalscorers in the Bundesliga for £10 million. Like I have already said, the absence of Champions League football is just an excuse. Are you sure that I didn't ? To be honest. I still have hope for Carroll and Henderson. Downing and Adam were always a mistake.

Man City were not in the Champions League when they've signed David Silva. Just like we weren't when we have signed Luis Suarez. The absence of Champions League football is just an excuse. The reported fees for David Silva and Juan Mata were at £23/24 million. Considering that they are light years ahead of Stewart Downing in terms of quality, I'd say that we have been brutally abused by Aston Villa.

In other words, a million or two cheaper than David Silva or Juan Mata.

You don't need to spend £78 million on 4 players in order to do that. Some creative scouting in the Bundesliga, League1 and Eredivisie could have brought the same result with half that money. By the way, I know that the topic of our domestic signings is pretty sensitive, but they are too poor to ignore.

My point exactly: Comolli is being paid big money to find the answers to your questions. So far, he has done pretty much nothing, since Suarez has been scouted for years, by Kenny's own admission.

Than again, the £23 million spent on Adam and Henderson could have bought us a top class central midfielder. And the £20 million spent on Downing could have done same thing for the wing position. Not to mention the £35 million spent on Carroll.

"Parochial" = "Having a limited or narrow outlook or scope" Yes, I agree that Suarez and Enrique were very good signings, but than again, Carroll, Downing, Henderson and Adam have been pretty poor so far. Spending £78 million on 4 domestic players that have failed to perform at the expected level is probably the main reason we have been struggling this season. Personally, I am not too surprised by Comolli's hit-and-miss transfer record. Yes, he is the one that has signed Berbatov, Bale and Modric for Tottenham, but lets not forget that he is also the one that has spent big amounts of money on Jenas, Bent, Hutton and Bentley.

Nah, not really racist. "Parochial" is probably the best way to describe it.

Not really. Spending £78 million on Carroll, Downing, Henderson and Adam is racist. And stupid.

Personally, I don't really care what he thinks about. It is time for him to actually find us a good deal, instead of regularly going for the over-hyped and over-priced English/British s****.

I hope that you are being sarcastic. Still, it is time for Comolli to earn his wages. The January market is always good for loan signings. In fact, our best January loan signings in the past decade were a top class defensive midfielder and a top class striker.

A defensive midfielder and a striker. If the money isn't there, make a couple of loan deals. With the Euro 2012 in the summer, there will be quality players willing to join us on a 6-month loan in order to get regular first team football, especially if they are not playing regularly at their respective clubs at the moment.

Well, he does have this nasty habit of being at the right place, at the right time. He is definitely not a world beater, but I am pretty much certain that if he was playing upfront for us in all of those games when we were missing numerous chances, he league goalscoring record would have been in double digits by now, and we would have been comfortably sitting at the 4th (maybe even 3rd) place by now.

Unfortunately, I think that our problem is much bigger than that. We have failed to win 13 of our 22 games so far: Sunderland (Home) Draw Stoke (Away) Loss Tottenham (Away) Loss Man Utd (Home) Draw Norwich (Home) Draw Man City (Home) Draw Swansea (Home) Draw Fulham (Away) Loss Wigan (Away) Draw Blackburn (Home) Draw Man City (Away) Loss Stoke (Home) Draw Bolton (Away) Loss If the home draws against Man Utd and Man City, and the away defeats against Tottenham and Man City are something that we could accept, the other 9 poor results represent a clear indication that this LFC team is not really good enough.

Depends on what you define as "anything". We are very likely monitoring the kid.

I think that we still have a good chance of finishing 4th, but we will need to address our problems in the remaining week of the transfer window. A defensive midfielder and a striker are obligatory, if we want to retain our hope of CL football next season.

It is a very common thing to talk publicly about transfer affairs in Southern Europe. Different mentality and customs.

His father is not his agent. By the way, here is the quote:

The Emirates have a total of 2,000 corporate and 7,100 "club" seats. That represents 15% of the full capacity. Those 15% of the full capacity create over 50% of their match-day revenue. Or, in other words, those 15% of the new stadium create more match-day revenue than the entire Highbury used to. So, to answer you question: Yes, it is very much worth it, since 10,000 corporate and "club" seats (not 15,000) in our new stadium will double our match-day revenue from £ 42 million to £ 80-85 million. And we are talking in Liverpool prices here, not London prices. With the London prices, Arsenal have a match-day revenue of £94 million, for a stadium of 60,000 seats.

I know that people are not too excited about Jelavic, especially since he is already 26 and plays in the SPL, but from what I have seen of him over the years, including the time when he was breaking through at Hajduk Split, he is a real predator. Now, I don't know if he would be able to transfer that goalscoring form into the Premier League, but considering our lack of finishing ability, I think that he would be worth the gamble, especially if he is available under £10 million. For some reason, his style of play reminds me a lot of John Aldridge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCfhdvnx9V0

The original AFL design is far superior to the Reebok stadium. Definitely much better viewing lines and much better acoustics, due to the descending roof. The second AFL design is s****. People like it because of the single-tiered Kop, but it is actually a monstrosity.

Probably the best realistic solution. Very practical and affordable design, with great viewing lines and superior acoustics.

Yes, that is exactly what we need. Another terribly over-rated and and overpriced British player.

Our Luis needs all the support he could get at the moment. Vote for him as the best Premier League player of 2011: http://www.skysports.com/poll/results/0,19911,12782_308666,00.html
