Yup. Gaelic is the working language at Melwood and they're all fluent in it of course.

How much did Henderson cost?
Gaelic?

Great news, proven PL performer. local lad, no settling in difficulties, speaks the same language as Clarke and Kenny, good fitness record, a step up for him with something to prove.

7m is a bit of a bargain .....as long as he maintains for us what he did at Blackpool. Depending on the opposition I could see us going with

..........Adam
Kuyt.....SG................Downing
................Suarez
.......Carroll.....

as certain teams will probably pack midfield play one attacker so Lucas may not be required as a shield to a backline. All about options and we just added to our passing ability from our own half so a good plus I think.

welcome to liverpool charlie.
as a scot he`s got a lot to live up to, when LFC first started john mckenna went north of the border and signed 13 scots.
our greatest player in our early days was alex raisbeck, often called liverpool`s first superstar, he was scottish and captained us to two league titles and of course there was the great billy liddell and of course the likes of shankly and the two foundation stones that the modern liverpool was build upon - ron yeats and ian st john.
then we had the great scots like dalglish, souness, hansen and nicol who helped us dominate english and european football.
if at the end of his liverpool career charlie has earned a place in this team of liverpool scots he would have been a brilliant player for us.


                                                                         tommy lawrence


ste nicol                                            alan hansen                   ron yeats                           alex raisbeck


peter cormack                               graeme souness             billy stevenson                         billy liddell


                                                     kenny dalglish                   ian st. john


every one of those players played in title winning sides for this club, hopefully charlie joins that list.

Don't understand this line of thinking. Have another look at Blackpool's 2nd goal at Anfield for an example of what happens when you don't have a disciplined CM who's prepared to cover the back four.

Delighted with this. I think he improves the squad, our options at set pieces, our options in midfield or off the bench and is a better player than people on here seem to think.  :)

And I'm even more delighted that the deal and the fee put to shame the reactionary twats all over the transfer forum who slam the club based on a fee quoted by some random media source and then argue for days about the clubs transfer policy is awful and we shouldn't be paying £12m for Adam and 'what are we doing?! Commolli is reckless!' etc etc.

Ditto.

So now we'll have the obligatory couple days of sanity and then it'll all start kicking off again! 

I think Charlie will be a fantastic addition, frees up Gerrard to play in the hole if needed, or on the right in certain situations, and brings fantastic set pieces, corners and passing similar to Gerrard.  Just the idea of Adam whipping in corners, allowing Stevie to set up just outside the box, with Carroll's heading and Suarez's trickery, suddenly we are severely dangerous.

Not questioning the amount, sounds about right, and made up if it is the quoted £7m and Blackpool get a couple of players on loan.

But, do we have anything "official" about this? Or a good solid source?
