I know a few Liverpool fans. Not one of them is happy about this move.
None of them were happy about Henderson either.

When we play them it just needs Dunne, or anyone, to hoof him in the first 5 and it'll be goodnight Downing for the rest of the match.

At least we know Young will keep getting back up, to be fair to him.

Young would get back up but spend the next 20 mins bitching @ the ref with his hands on his hips

Ha! True. He'd still come back at us though, once he'd finished moaning.

Liverpool are trying too hard. If you've got City's money you can force your way into the top four. If not, the only way is to be ready to poach once one of the usual members start to waver. Arsenal might do that, but those who think that Arsene Wenger is just going to lie down and die (even if Nasri and Fabregas leaves) are deluded. If the Chelsea team start to show its age, Roman will find his chequebook soon enough.

With the exception of Suarez, none of Liverpool's recent signings are much better than what they have already got. Also, while I think Dalglish was the right person to unite the club in its mid-season crisis, I suspect he might not be the man they need to push on from sixth.

They've spent an awful of money on good British players,not outstanding players,but it won't get them any closer to the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea,possibly Arsenal as well.

I have two Liverpool supporting mates. One knows his stuff and is not happy, the other knows a lot less and is over the moon. He'll soon find out. I wouldn't be too unhappy if he picked up an injury before he's even played for them as suggested already.

I heard that fat prick say the other day,that Liverpool have got a better deal with Downing,than Utd have with Young. I cant see them improving on last years position.

Liverpool have spent a ludicrous amount of money on some decent players.

Downing isn't worth the time or effort to get worked up about -

I've had the honour to meet Ian Taylor, Cyrille Regis & Ken McNaught in recent weeks -
are these type of guys going to be non existant in the future ?

Dalglish is spending the kind of money and procuring the type of players that MON would have if he'd have been appointed. The 'Sky' Liverpool fans have been sucked into the hype machine and blindly believe the glory days are back. Ask a Dipper season ticket holder and I wager the reaction will be a bit different. That said, I can't see them finishing below sixth.

Liverpool's fan Paul Tompkins is happy

"A certain player happens to have completed more successful crosses in the past three seasons than anyone else in the Premier League; he is the top-flight’s 5th-most successful chance-creator over the past seven seasons, and the only one of that top five to not be in a Champions League side over the duration (the other four being the world-famous quartet of Fabregas, Gerrard, Lampard and Giggs). His club’s Player of the Year, he is someone who has regularly registered in excess of ten assists a season throughout his career, with as many as 14 in 2006/07, and is capable of getting double-figures in goals (he did so in 2007/08, and was just one shy of last season). All this, and on average fit to play in all but three games a season over the past five years. (Stats courtesy of Opta Joe.)..."
