Carra did an interview with Sky Sports a few days ago. This can be viewed on their website. It is from this interview that Fox have repeated this news. His words have been spun in some reports to make it sound as if departures are more likely when in reality he was commenting on the media speculation about players leaving. Torres has categorically said that Masch is staying next season - he would not say this unless he had spoken to Javier about it some time over the last few months.
Everyone should relax and think about this. We have been linked with a £17 million bid for Johnson. If we were so skint that we had to sell Alonso, Masch, Torres then why would we pay so much for a player that we don't actually need. Johnson would be a decent purchase but we would get along fine without him. It would make more sense to keep our key players rather than splurge on expensive luxury players imo. If we needed to sell players we would sell Babel, Dossena and N'Gog. This is not happening apart from Dossena so I am not concerned.
It's not the money that would force us to sell, but the will of the players to leave.All the rumours flying around that "personal" problems are the reason for there possible moves, and not financial.That's what's worrying most fans. But never the less i thinks it's media speculation. Since Torres,Gerrard,Agger and Kuyt extended there contract, some of our other big players had to be in the "transfer market" so that they could sell some newspapers......let's not forget we are THE biggest club in the world, so transfers speculation from our players would sell.

"compatriots to further boost the strong Hispanic contingent on Merseyside." Just because someone speaks spanish doesn't mean they're hispanic, dipshit journo.
you're missing the point. it's what common usage accepts as a legitimate meaning of the word. the word "hispanic" has multiple connotations, one of which is "Spanish speaking", whether you happen to agree or not. the fact that someone speaks Spanish doesn't make them hispanic, but the overwhelming percentage of Spanish speaking persons are of Spanish extraction, meaning that they live in countries that once were under Spanish rule because they were originally colonized by Spain. wikipedia link for Hispanic (disambiguation)
Right- summer transfers hey http://www.footballtransferleague.co.uk/football_club.aspx?football_club=Liverpool
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/live...stian-purslow-anfield-latest-100252-23943978/ Liverpool appoint Managing Director. Seems a levelheaded businessman to handle that side of the club.
Finally someone with someone with some business sense. Even if he is a light blue, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. Not that it'd be hard to do better than Parry in that department.
Aye. I hope there is more movement on the commercial side of things. For a club of our size, the merchandising activities are nothing short of dismal.
Agreed. Point in case, I have yet to figure out how we were the fourth club with a TV channel. I did notice where Purslow is only in the job temporarily until a new executive director is appointed. Makes me think that may well be a long, thorough search.
Arbeloa has been quoted saying, "I was told by ADIDAS that their Liverpool kits outsell the Real Madrid ones" Maybe I snuffed the quote a bit, but I think thats proper merchandising.
Really? That's right interesting because them lot are banking, no pun intended, on massive short sales to fund the Ronaldo and Kaka deals. 26, there is breaking news at 18:00 BST (1700 GMT) on LFCTV. I suspect it's Johnson. EDIT: Done.
