Exciting #Sochaux midfielder Ryad #Boudebouz has confirmed that #Liverpool have "initiated" discussions with his agent. #LFC

From a French journalist on Twitter. He was linked in January too.

Good dribbler, technically good... 21 I believe.

 

Who the **** is signing players? Ian Ayre? What the **** is going on here?

 

If it's true then this is probably a deal left over from Comolli. We were in for him in January, so it's possible we were told to wait until the summer.

Ian Ayre must be having the time of his life at the minute! He's everywhere!

 

As far as I know, nothing is happening at the moment and all previous targets are 'on hold' until a new manager and DoF are in position.

 

I started a thread for media transfers but it was just stupid, in 2 weeks the list had about 30 players on it so I stopped posting it.

 

If we (or I) could use the actual OP to update the official ins and outs, along with the rumours etc in the comments, it could be pretty good.

 

We will need this kind of thread soon as the speculation increases.

 

This morning it is Cavani, doubt that would make the final list of the OP though.

 

If it does I will be running drunk through the streets wearing a traffic cone

 

agreed.

If i were lfc 3 players would be on my list of "kidnap their kids to make them sign" list.

Cavani, higuin and hazard.

Trust me when i say there isn't a great deal of huge talent out there that is so obvious that its no risk. erikkson and martinez would be the next shouts in midfield then.

Its a pity we pissed about under rafa due to g&H and failed to land silva or mata or even aguero cos it was so patently obvious what they'd become. we must not piss about again

 

If we kidnap Henry's kids he might sign us these players. Just a thought.

 

Amoo has gone too hasn't he...?

 

Can't argue with the three players quality, they'd certainly make a difference. However, as I am sure you are aware, not one of them will join us without the offer of Champions League football. Plus, their combined cost would be massive. Lets call their transfer fee a modest £30m each and their wages a modest £150kpw each for 4 years. Thats a combined minimum committment of £183.6m..!!!!! For a non-Champions League club, that's unimaginable!

 

He'll officially move on the 31st of May, but I'll stick him in anyway.

 

We've signed Bale and Modric for £2mill each...

 

suarol... mr suarez joined us just on such terms. we bought carroll of 35mil.

For me if we are in any way serious we must spend that money. it took city 3 years and 3 managers to get to where they are now. We one a trophy quicker and spent less but now we need to commit that money to get there. I'd pay 30mil tomorrow for hazard if you could get him quick but i know that deal is done. I'd break the bank for the others.... if fsg have any real ambition this is what they must do cos all the junior hoilett's in the world will not get cl football.

 

Heard we were linked with Lavezzi this morning, doubt he would want to miss out playing in the champions league though

 

Napoli qualified for the Europa League.

 

But would he want to leave them to just join another team that isn't in the CL?
