He has ruled out going to Derby.  I think another year or 2 at Rangers would do him the world of good.  The reality is that as much as you might not like to admit it Rangers is a big club.  he has a chance to help build his experience of a difficult environment.  I think he will stay there for a season or 2 and then look at a mid level PL team with a view to moving into the LFC job in due course.

You're right ofcourse,  I just wish you weren't!!
Maybe he'll change his mind with Derby.................

I'm guessing value is attributed to length of contract, age etc. Liverpool would have a relatively young squad compared to the likes of barca/RM etc. Surprised PSG are not higher though.

Liverpool's squad value ranked second-highest in Europe at £1billion
Liverpool's overall squad value has risen dramatically after Jurgen Klopp's side won the Champions League and pushed Manchester City all the way to the Premier League title, according to Transfermarkt.com, via the Express.


A combination of intelligent transfer business and player development has seen the Reds rise in value over the last 12 months to second place in the list of most valuable teams in the world, just behind Manchester City.

According to Transfermarkt, the Merseyside club's squad is now worth an estimated £1billion, with City valued at £1.05billion.


Fellow Champions League finalists Tottenham have also gained significant squad value in the last year, moving ahead of Real Madrid and Manchester United in the list.

Despite heavy investment, United's squad is worth just £706.28million, placing them ninth in the rankings.

Everton have also increased in value to just scrape into the top 20 at £397.58million.

Below are the most valuable teams in the world (as of June 19) according to Transfermarkt.com.

20. Everton – £397.58m

19. Valencia – £400.95m

18. RB Leipzig – £429.03m

17. Ajax – £437.58m

16. AC Milan – £450.9m

15. Inter Milan – £475.92m

14. Napoli – £509.40m

13. Borussia Dortmund – £547.47m

12. Arsenal – £569.03m

11. Juventus – £670.95m

10. Bayern Munich – £676.35m

9. Manchester United – £706.28m

8. Real Madrid – £784.28m

7. Tottenham Hotspur – £793.35m

6. Paris Saint-Germain – £830.03m

5. Atletico Madrid – £840.60m

4. Chelsea – £861.98m

3. Barcelona – £958.95m

2. Liverpool – £1.00bn

1. Manchester City – £1.05bn[/i]

Thats how a European league would finish up

That would worry me.  I would like to see him prove himself as a very astute manager before ever getting within a mile of the Liverpool job (I hope Klopp is there for a very long time).  He doesn't have a God given right to do it - needs to prove he's in the top category of managers out there.

It's tough to say no to hero ex-players.  United did well to freeze out Giggs, even this week Totti overstayed his welcome at Roma.

I see Fernando Torres has retired...
If he was to do this now he'd need to use both hands...

Don't think I ever saw him play a good game with Spain or any of the clubs he played with after Liverpool, but he was awesome when he played with us.

Scored the winner in the Euro 08 final. His only goal of the tournament methinks. David Villa was on fire at that tournament. I think there was a broadcasting issue due to thunder and lightning in Austria or Switzerland for the final.

Was he at Chelsea when they won it? I thought he got them through with a few goals in the semi final.

I've never seen a player's confidence so fragile - he just lost it and it never came back.

Combine these two and you would have had some striker! 

Bendtner off the scale in confidence test

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner has scored highly in 'self-perceived competence' after the Gunners' sport psychologist Jacques Crevoisier revealed that the Dane's mark was off the scale.

Bendtner has made several comments in the media over the years highlighting his belief in himself and many have suggested that his confidence borders on arrogance. However, Arsenal use psychological tests to determine their players' mental abilities in relation to their footballing qualities and the striker is certainly not lacking in one area.

"One of the categories is called 'self perceived competence,' i.e. how good the player himself thinks he is,'' Crevoisier told Swedish magazine Offside. ''On a scale up to 9, Bendtner got 10! We have never seen that before. Pat Rice [Arsenal's assistant manager] was sitting next to me and couldn't stop laughing.

"When Bendtner misses a chance, he is always genuinely convinced that it wasn't his fault. You might say that's a problem, and to a certain degree it can be. But you can also view it as this guy has a remarkable ability to come back after set-backs."

The test is made-up of 117 questions designed to test players' self-belief, concentration levels and determination and is overseen by Crevoisier, who specialises in working with young French players at France's Clairefontaine academy as well as the Gunners' stars.

Bruno Fernandez 1/14 to sign for Liverpool.

EDIT: 1/20 now, in from 1/9 half an hour ago!

Where do you get those odds, RedHand?
