Responding to tweets on his twitter account last night, Liverpool owner John W Henry joked they should march on Valencia for Juan Mata:

“Maybe you can march on Valencia. A TweetUp! How many of you are there? We could attack on four sides.”

On another issue, Henry responded to questions over developments on the new stadium:

“Anfield would certainly be our first choice. But realities may dictate otherwise. So many obstacles…”

Henry also replied to a tweet asking whether the Reds would ever have a pre-season match at Fenway Park saying:

“Yes. Should be terrific”

This week it is former LFC WAG Abigail Clancy!

    Perhaps Juan Mata can play for both Liverpool and Valencia on 6th August in the friendly!

    • abdul gerrard says:

      that would be realy great…i remeber chicharito did it las yer for united n chivas….

  • TSP says:

    Unfortunately, it appears to just be his sense of humour. Personally, I found it quite funny…but it can be a dangerous game to play if you are the owner and are joking about a player the fans really want.

    • m kop says:

      It is stupid of him making such jokes like that when club is in not getting any big stars, just players from smaller clubs.

      New owners have not spent anything in January so they should get really big signing this summer.

      • rahul says:

        it’s not players from small clubs we are buying…it’s just we are buying players who have already proven themselves in epl..

      • Bhekos says:

        Are u being serious mate? “new owners not spent anything in january”, how the f**k have we got A Caroll and L Suarez then? Anyway I hope this is a hint about the next signing.

        • NoJoeKinnear says:

          They just reinvested the money from Torres and Babel, and added a couple of quid. To be honest as much money as we have spent, theres actually very little that has come from FSG, the club itself has really generated all the funds spent so far, including the Adam and Henderson fees, because thankfully the profits of about 25m or so we make each year are now no longer going on interest and bank fee payments….so really, Henry & Co havent really invested in the transfers side of things so far.

      • Chris says:

        How about the 350 million they spent to get the club, the money they will spend on the stadium and the money they have spent this window. This ownership is all that we can dream of because we will have a solid Club for years to come not like City or Chelsea with a wage and age structure that is insane.

        • NoJoeKinnear says:

          That 350m will become a bargain if they treat this club right. Dont get me wrong, Im absolutely delighted to be out of G&H’s hands, and to be in a window where we can spend money if a novelty for nearly 4 years now. But this club was a dinosaur in the commerical markets for way too long, too many opportunities passed us by because f poor strategic management. If FSG build on the non-footballing income generating work that G&H started they will make their money many times over, and they know that. So until I see major investment the like we need to challenge for titles and Europe again, I’ll be thankful for them, but wont be blinded by the media haze surrounding the hype.

  • Andy H says:

    It was a joke, I’d personally be worried, like TSP, if Mr Henry and FSG decided who we bought, we’ve seen Abramovich do that at Chavski with some disasterous results, Mutu, Shevchenko, Torres?. I’m more interested in the Anfield debate, this needs sorting soon.

  • emma says:

    buy mata or turan.

  • Paul says:

    Jesus there’s some serious people on here. Mr Henry was obviously joking about the way we should get mata. but maybe he would like him here. or maybe he was just replying to fans questions. He’s in a no win situation. don’t answer questions or answer then with a bit of humour. Lets wait and see, we have to trust the owners.

  • nigel says:

    2 from mata, shaqiri, elia, turan, vargas. Downing is well over priced. Add another £5m to the supposed £20m villa want and im sure we can get two of the above for the prices mooted for downing.

  • An Capail says:

    Karim, you may not be a million miles away from the truth with your line of thinking. I genuinely believe that the deal for Mata will not be signed until 06/08/11. It will be goodbye Valencia, hello Liverpool.

  • jimmy c says:

    Lets forget second rate players and buy class
    90% of liverpool fans want mata ,lets see if he has the desire to join the biggest and best supported club in world football and chase glory
    or see if he wants the biggest wage.

  • tony says:

    Its good to see owner with passion for LFC.
    But we would like mata its up to kennyand looks like he likes english only

  • zahid says:

    Personally i think we will make atleast 1 big name signing this window, this is why Reina agreed to stay not because of the likes of Henderson or Adam with respect to them, but because of big named signings like Mata, Lavezzi or Aguero……YNWA

    • Vince says:

      Zahid you are talking rubbish there!!!!! Liverpool are planning to go forward with with the astute management of KK. Reina did NOT remain loyal because of big name signings.

      • zahid says:

        I neversaid they wern’t m8 but we will sign a big player or two who will bring the best out of the players we already have……YNWA

  • nigel honeyman says:

    turan would be perfect i watch vargas the other night he is good to but when it come to wingers lfc should bring arda turan and a another sticker aguero is the man

  • dh says:

    Henry grows on me more everyday. I can see himself and kenny getting on well in the coming years. both don’t take the media or people who use it too seriously. I think its a certainty stan park is the way. after listening to Alan Hanson talking about how shabby anfield is apparent to the nou camp etc, I’m more for a new stadium too. was impressed by their attempts to keep anfield, nobody else suggested this from what I read over the years.

  • Mskhan says:

    Hello liverpool fans ,force the owner big siging this summer.juan mata kareem benzem aguero.please rebuild to liverpool n give the concentrate big plyers.thanx liv pool.

  • Edwin Munyari says:

    Well read, well Red! Your sense of humour is top drawer! Ha ha ha ha ha!

  • fADZ says:

    John W Henry & Kenny Daglish!!! with all respect for u, Please sign MATA!!! pLEASE lISTEN TO THE FANS! we all want him!!!

  • SNFT says:

    Lets leave the choice of players to dc and kk. They know how we want to set up next season, and the players they want in, so leave it to them, and trust. Its a squad game, not every signing can be a big name….

  • Don corleone says:

    If u dont get mata,dat means all u just do is make noise about the players and wait for man u or arsenal to get them or even city,am starting to doubt kenny and if we dont get any of mata,hazard,turan them kenny,comoli, henry u are just digging liverpool’s downfall.please just get mata and wait till january to get another topklass

  • Voronator says:

    I can almost guarantee that the majority of you will not have seen Mata play for any more than 10 minutes or a few Youtube clips here and there.

  • rick says:

    There are many player top players out there, Mata in not the only star in the sky.
    Sometimes it appears that Mata is the only player We have to buy at any cost.
    Juan Mata, Juan Mata, Juan Mata, Juan Mata….
    Some sections of our fans are getting extremely boring.
    Mata is a world class of player, but it’s not so easy to sign players of a high calibre when You can’t offer high wages and Champions League football.
    Mata himself claimed He will listen all the offers and He will choose the best offer, in money terms.
    Meanwhile, some fans forget that We have already a host of top talent in our side, and our transfer policy based on youth and overrated talent is extremely wise in my view.
    With our experience, our top talent is the side, our youth talent & overrated talents like Charlie Adam We’ll be a force again.
    I whould like to see Liverpool snap uo Juan Mata, but it’s not so easy like some fans think: the richest clubs in the world (City, Real Madrid) are all chasing this players Who want high wages & instant success.
    Liverpool’s success is based on tradition, long term view, youth talent & strong fan base.
    Charlie is a classy player with a fantastic long range pass, and Jordan is an excellent all around midfield: We should be happy and give them confidence a proper chance.
    Mata, Mata, Mata, Mata, Mata, Mata: BORING.

  • bazza says:

    Rick: you are right about some of the fans, but you have to understand that these are the morons that believe everything they read because they dont have the brains to work things out for themselves.

    KK & DC have a plan of the players that they want this will include back up players in case they cant get their first choice.

    So stop believing the garbage that is written and wait until Liverpool anounce a new signing.

    By the way Mata has no proven premiership experience whereas Downing does just look at the stats you morons.
