Liverpool move step closer to takeover by Maktoums.

[Pacman]

I'd sign

Buffon
Kaka
Villa
Torres
Ronaldinho
Henry
Fabregas

And if we don't get them sack the board :whatever:

[NICKZS]

Micah Richards

I don't think Citeh are in a position to turn down a big bid, although they'll owe a sizeable chunk (5 or 10% I think) of any fee to Oldham Athletic.

I think you'll be talking in the region of 15-18 mill for Richards if a team like Chelsea or uber-rich Liverpool ( ) comes in for him, especially now that he's had his international call up.

But I'd hope he'd have enough sense about him not to go Russian

[AFII]

Richards and Alves.

Both of them can play in many different positions and that would make our squad less vulnerable to injuries.

[Reece]

Ronaldinho and Phil Neville.

[kopash]

by the way, I am a shareholder and assumed I would have to informed of any potential bid? I have not had anything through the post (yet)

Dubai firm in Reds takeover talks

A Dubai-based consortium has confirmed it is in exclusive talks about a takeover of Liverpool.

Dubai International Capital (DIC) is thought to be nearing a buy-out of the Anfield club worth £450m.

"Liverpool's investment requirements are well publicised," said chief executive Sameer al-Ansari, whose firm has begun to examine the club accounts.

"We hope we can agree a deal that will provide us with the opportunity to fund its needs both on and off the pitch."

Would the involvement of DIC mean the Arse would lose their patronage in the future when their 10year stadium naming deal runs out? What name would the new Anfield get with the new owners - Oilfield Anfield?

Gotta say, that sounds promising

what happened to all the people on here criticizing chelski, and their big budget anf that they are ruening football...

i won't say no to money but if we will start spending 100 million quid on players a season, the heart and soul of this club will seriously diminish, overnight success will be tainted by the money that bought it...

i hope this is a buisness decision not just someone throwing money away cause thay can...

[puredale]

Liverpoil?

I dont think we will spend like the chavs.
They wont be using LFC as a play toy, but i would think as a platform to promote the Arab state. I could see them investing significantly but also expecting a decent return.

They are building the new stadium, paying off the debt and supplying the new ball boys.

Moores and Parry hyav got everything covered !

I have criticised Moores and Parry but that seems a bit unfair now - I have alot of swallowing to do.

I dont think people have a problem with spending £30m a player like Chelsea do its the

Obi Mikel saga
Leeds Youngsters saga
Kenyon saga
Frank Arsenen saga
They just break the rules and pay off people constantly
Then theres the public slamming off referees everytime without fail they lose a football match from the manager down to their cuntish players
Then theres the conduct of their manager and other ***** he has beside him like that Rui Feria etc

On signings, I dont think people are that bothered about paying £30m for Shevchenko, its the signing Veron for £15m then freeing him or loaning him out for years till his deal expires, same with Crespo now that pisses people off. Well thats what pisses me off anyway. I have no problem with their spending as it doesnt make games against the other 18 Premiership teams any harder.

A return ON the pitch you mean? Because they wont make one off it. Not money-wise, anyway. Unless it's done via other means, using the club as a generator of funds.
