Liverpool FC Forum

[LegBarnes]

Ok this topic is about if you could pick 3 players from any where in world at this moment in time to join liverpool FC who would it be and why it can be any 3.

Mine would be Teves , Kaka , Cannavaro

I pick a defender Can because i personaly think he one of best defenders in world and i like his skill on the ball.

Teves because imo will be a leading prem stiker in the next 2 years and onwards.

and Kaka because he is a wonder kid and i think he is wasted in italian league.

Yawn

[chrisrafman]

dani alves as finnan aint getting any younger
Joaquin as i feel right wing is our weakest position and he has to be the best
David Villa because he is just pure class up front and would score 25+ goals a season

yeah i really like joaquin as well but i didnt go for him cos i think kaka and gerrard could switch around onto the right wing and center midfield

Threads, Topics and Posting Guidelines

Some gentle advice to our new members

Read around at first, familiarise yourself with the forum, its rules, its customs, its do’s and don’ts.  The most important rule to remember is to have a think before you post.

Quality over quantity is emphasized.

Do not post ALL IN CAPITALS.  Typing in all capital letters usually denotes screaming, yelling or shouting.

Text speak is vehemently frowned upon.  While we understand the users’ English skills are not all William Shakespeare standard, there is absolutely no excuse for text speak.  It is lazy, you are doing yourself a disservice by using it and any posts written in complete text speak will be deleted.  If you must use this language, use it on your Instant Messaging programs or your mobile phones, but make sure you keep it off these message boards.

The forum is broken down into many different sub sections and each sub section deals with a different theme. For example, the main sub section deals with Liverpool: General Discussion. This is a catch all forum for all things Liverpool, but mostly the major things in the news that everybody is interested in.  Threads should be made in the appropriate forum relevant to them and off topic threads posted in LFC:General Discussion etc will be moved by the moderators to more appropriate forums. Members should try to avoid Liverpool: General Discussion as a catch all for everything. Non football threads will invariably be moved to General Chat.

The other forums are more specialized in nature, dealing with individual players (The Players' Lounge), discussion on games, (Games Forum), songs and folklore (the Kop), Hillsborough, Transfer rumours, general Premiership discussion and a General Chat sub section for non football banter.

The Premium Members Area is dedicated to in-depth debate.

All members can apply for Premium Members status which will allow posting in the Premium Members Area however members will need to demonstrate a level of commitment to the site. Please apply by sending a private message requesting Premium Members status to a Moderator.

Premium Members status will be granted at the absolute discretion of the sites Moderators and Admin.

Any Premium Members who makes abusive, racist, annoying and irrelevant posts will be warned and if they persist will be excluded from the Premium Members Area and as with all members potentially banned from the site.

Supports of other clubs will not qualify for Premium Members status.

Before new members post they should familiarise themselves with all of these sub sections.

New members are encouraged to start a topic in the Introductions forum to let us know a bit about themselves and Liverpool FC, and to introduce themselves.  It is the only place they can start topics until they have reached 25 posts.

Members are encouraged to try and avoid multiple posts on identical topics in the same forum. Multiple posting splinters discussion on a topic and its best that only one thread is used for a popular topic. Sometimes where there are 2 identical threads posted at the exact same time as each other (which can accidentally happen immediately after a match or after a news conference) then the moderators may close one of these threads if there is little or no reply to it so as to keep discussion to one thread. 

While everybody is entitled to their opinion we do try to foster a spirit of high quality posting on this forum. If you wish to start a new thread please read the other threads that are already active and see if your point can be made in an existing thread. If you want to start a new thread please take some time to think your point out and try to put a bit of effort into it.  This is not liverpoolfc.tv and we are trying to engage in some decent discussion.  Threads started with one sentence questions or points raised which do not offer debate or opinion will be deleted.  If you don't put in the time and effort into starting a proper thread, how can you expect other members to take time to properly reply to it?  The purpose of this discussion forum is to develop good dialogue on sensible, interesting topics.

Avoid simply opening a thread and copy and pasting articles without offering your opinion on the article.  We are all capable of visiting the BBC or Sky Sports website ourselves.  It is considered lazy and does not encourage any debate.  There is a specific forum for news articles which the moderators contribute to.  You cannot reply to these topics so if any threads are started in this way without your opinion on the article, they will be deleted and re-posted in the News and Articles forum.  Done properly, posting articles and offering opinion can encourage discussion.  When pasting the contents from another site though, PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THE SITE BY PROVIDING A LINK TO THE STORY AND/OR THE AUTHOR.

Threads which degenerate into long drawn out abusive slanging matches between members will ultimately be closed.  Members have the right to express their opinions without fear of being bashed or flamed.  They also have the right to offer good firm opinions and to debate strongly.  If you do feel the need to spoil discussions with insults and personal arguments, do it by PM or whichever way you wish to settle it, but KEEP IT OFF THE FORUM.  Consistent and frequent abusive conduct towards other members is not allowed and members guilty of continuous abusive conduct will be warned by the moderators.  Baiting other members to start arguments with you will not be tolerated and persistence with this will result in a posting suspension or a total ban.  Please don't waste your time writing obscene or abusive posts as the forum is moderated and such posts will be deleted or at best edited to ensure the universal appeal of the forums content.

Avatars and Signatures
Members should use discretion in choosing their avatars and offensive avatars or those using nudity etc are not allowed. The reason for this is to avoid offending other members, to protect underage members and also for the practical reason that many members log on to the forum at public places, such as work etc, and nude avatars can cause embarrassment if your boss, wife, teacher or children spot them!  The board code dictates that avatars are to be no larger than 70 x 70 pixels. 

There is no limit to signature size although forum etiquette suggests that they should be no bigger than approximately 700 x 200 pixels.  If the users of the forum complain of horizontal scroll bars appearing on their browser, it’s too big.  Again, no offensive signatures are allowed.

Racism
Racist remarks are not tolerated and will be deleted.  Members who are guilty of this will be given an official warning for any complaints we receive.  There is no leeway or flexibility on this rule.

Hillsborough and Hysel
We would also like to point out that new members who join the forum in order to make derogatory remarks about the Hillsborough and Hysel tragedies will be immediately banned.  There is no leeway or flexibility on this rule.

Fans of other teams are welcome provided that they are not here to insult other members or engage in abuse. However, there is no harm in a bit of light hearted and good natured banter but if fans from other teams are here on a wind up, they face instant banning.

Spamming
From Wikipedia
Spamming an internet forum in general, is when a user posts something which is off-topic or doesn’t have anything to do with the current subject. Also, a post that doesn’t contribute to the thread whatsoever is also considered spam in some cases. A third form of Forum Spamming is where a person repeatedly posts about a certain subject in a manner that is unwanted by (and possibly annoying to) the general population of the forum. Lastly there is also the case where a person posts messages solely for the purpose of increasing his or her ranking on the forum. In a broader sense, advertising on forums where it is not wanted is known as spamming and is generally seen as an annoyance.

Spamming is not tolerated on the forums.  This includes all of the above definitions, as well as multiple smiley posting to increase post count, and especially advertising their own forums or websites.  If members must do this, they can enter the URL of their website in the space provided in their Control Panel.  Warnings may be handed out at the discretion of the moderators for persistent spamming.  Links to third party Websites are not allowed in member signatures and/or in posts if this is obviously advertising. If found the member will be asked to remove them. If not adhered to admin will remove links, if members replace removed links then this may result in the member being banned from the forums.

Touting
Touting isn’t really a major problem on this forum, but as Liverpool are consistently reaching the latter stages of big competitions, it appears everybody wants a ticket for the big games.  This is usually when touts appear.  If you have a ticket to sell, by all means offer your spare to the members of the forum. 

If it is even a penny, cent or euro over the face value price of the ticket which you paid for it, the post will be deleted and your account will be disabled.  Touting is totally unacceptable and there is no leeway or flexibility on this rule.  If you are found guilty of breaking it, you can expect to be banned.

Banned Members
Temporary posting bans may be issued at the discretion of the moderators.  They are not permanent, and the user will be welcomed back to the forum at the end of their ban.  These bans can last as long as the moderators see fit.  Depending on severity, members are usually given five warnings before they receive a ban.  Moderators reserve the right to ban members without any prior notice.

Permanent bans are for members who are trolls, members who deliberately post pornography, or someone who has broken the rules of this forum in a way that makes their presence on these message boards intolerable.

From Wikipedia
In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts inflammatory, rude or offensive messages designed to annoy and antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion.

Once you have been banned permanently, you are not welcome back on the forums.  Any member who violates their bans by registering again under another user name faces being permanently banned or IP banned.

Bans are always at the discretion of the moderators and administrator.

Screen Names
Sometimes, members find it easy to use their ISP username as a screen name for message boards and forums.  A name like fhju875676 does not look attractive and doesn’t really give you an identity.  Those who log on to the forum in this way and who want to change their screen name must PM the administrator of the site LFC.  This only applies to new members who feel they’ve made a mistake.  Older members who just feel like a change will not be indulged.  There is flexibility on this rule but it will be at the discretion of the moderators and administrator.

Linking to Liverpool Urchins Website
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT MEMBERS DO NOT LINK TO THE LIVERPOOL URCHINS WEBSITE NOR USE ANY PICTURES FROM THEIR WEBSITE.

PICTURES USED FROM THEIR WEBSITE HAVE THEIR URL'S REDIRECTED TO CHILD PORN AND ALSO TO GAY PORN.

A COUPLE OF MEMBERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN THE VICTIM OF THIS AND BECAUSE THE PICTURES ARE SO EXTREME, THEY UNFORTUNATELY RISK HAVING THEIR POSTS DELETED BY THE MODERATORS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE WEBMASTER LOGS IN SO HE CAN MANUALLY ALTER THEIR ACCOUNTS.

Linking to The S*n Newspaper articles
DON’T DO IT.  JUST DON’T DO IT.  ENOUGH SAID I HOPE.

These guidelines will evolve as the forum gets bigger.  Expect quite a few over the next few weeks but we have gone over the main points for now.  Members will be notified when updates are made and they will be encouraged to read them.  So please bear with the moderators and admin staff.  We are human and we have our own lives outside the forum and again we want to stress that self moderation is the key to ensure we all enjoy posting on here.

Please remember that we are not responsible for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of this message board. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by the reporting links posted on every message. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this message board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by this message board.

The Liverpool FC Discussion Forum is a public system and as such the Liverpool FC Discussion Forum takes no responsibility for the views expressed in messages posted to any discussion.

Any views expressed are those of individuals, and do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of Liverpool FC Discussion Forum.

Use of the Discussion Forum is to be in all respects in accordance with the Forum Rules and in using the Forum you agree to be bound by those Rules.

Finally, enjoy the forum.



Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Think you should read this as you clearly havent 

[jonnymac1979]

Now, now.  Come on, be nice and play nice.

Dani Alves and I've always liked Ibrahimavich and Berbatov.

Never going to happen though. 

I used to champion Joaquin but not so much any more.  If he signed I'm sure he'd be a success but if he was going to come, I would have liked him when Betis sold him to Valencia.  If he decides he's got one BIG move left in his career, he'll be around 30 I would imagine and you can forget about it then.

[LegBarnes]

Ibrahimavich is so class player but for some reason i can never see him playing in prem lol be just my luck chesky will but him next season now and make me look like a crazy fool haha 

[jonnymac1979]

I am amazed noone tried a speculative bid. spudz for all their hissy fits are still a selling club, put in a sizeable bid and they take the money. I reckon an £18m bid would tempt them bigtime, in fact given a choice of getting Tevez for £30m and Berbatov for £22m-£25m I'd um and ah for a while before I decided.

We could chuck in Crouch and Sissoko, worth a bid even if Jol said f*** off in no uncertain terms.

yeah Crouch and Sissoko for him would work but they are 2 players who know how to play for liverpool and with so many new faces gone i worrie about the team as a whole and we would lose some key cover for main team but 20 mil bid for berb might get him to come it would be to good to be true tho

[Kewell2Dominate]

Gerrard, Kaka and Tevez and van nistlerooy. We have one already and horseface in my opinion would just poach those 20 goals we need to win the league. Just my opinion.
