    I thought I remembered Ian Ayre saying a few months back that LFC were in the last stages of aquiring the necessary property to update/expand Anfield and that would be a major priority for LFC this summer w/ an announcement expected may/june. have we heard anything about that?

    The redevelopment of anfield, one way or the other, could have such a huge impact on what unfolds for lfc this summer. in any case, an article on the subject would be a really good read (shameful lobbying). Thats where, at least in my opinion, Liverpool fans should be really excited about FSG being involved. Look what they did to rejuvenate fenway when everybody was saying they needed to scrap it and start over. they preserved a hell of a lot of red sox history by makin the tough/expensive decision of renovating the stadium

    Hey Karl what do you think the odds are of Liverpool picking up Honda this summer? I think that he would be a steal and have always wanted to see him join LFC. Also do you think we might possibly make a bid for Higuan?

    Hey Karl, what do you think about people saying Sturridge is a selfish player? I think he was a bit at Chelsea but is changing his game. However, after watching today and the Newcastle game and a few others I've noticed that he becomes selfish after he gets that first goal or two and wants more. Today he could have had 2 assists for tap ins but tried to beat the keeper. What are you thoughts? And do you think Rodgers notices this and will try and change this?

    Thanks for the quick reply, Karl! I think Lucas-Henderson is looking more likely, especially with Henderson performing pretty well in that role for the England U21s. Yalany Baio is the only defensive midfielder I've seen in the academy who isn't more inclined to attack, and I could be wrong about that. This position really needs to be sorted out this summer.

    Hey Karl, do you think Conor Coady could be the starting defensive midfielder for the first team in a season or two? This is assuming that none of our new signings are better than Lucas.

    The one about the Bundesliga not being as good as people think. He went on a rampage in the comment board.

    Hey karl, what are your thoughts on the Alex Pearce rumors? Do you think he would be a good player to fill in for Carra?
    I also saw some rumors for Tiago Ilori from sporting lisbon. He looks pretty good for a young prospect.

    You should change the 9 to 6, where as Gomez scored a hat-trick in 6 minutes.
