That's him alright, nice goal, it's good to see us signing the best young player's.
 
A few rumours knocking about today...

Stefan Frei.

Toronto FC goalkeeper Stefan Frei is spending this week training with Liverpool. The Swiss shot-stopper was granted permission by the Major League Soccer outfit to travel to Melwood to stay sharp during the off-season.

"This is a great opportunity for Stefan and we were happy to give him permission to train with a historic club like Liverpool," said Toronto head coach and technical director Aron Winter.

"He has emerged as one of the top keepers in the league since the start of his career and has certainly earned this opportunity."

New York Red Bulls striker Juan Agudelo is also training with the Reds.

Don't know much about him. We've got Reina, Doni & Brad Jones fighting it out in the goalkeeping area. We've also got some young keepers. (Gulacsi & Hansen)

Bluff, do you anything about him?

Hugo Rodallega.

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is keen to retain the services of reported Liverpool target Hugo Rodallega. The Colombian striker will be allowed to leave the DW Stadium next summer for nothing, should he fail to agree a new contract with the Latics.

And, although Rodallega is alarmingly out of sorts, Martinez hopes he can persuade the 26-year-old to remain with Wigan, despite alleged interest from Liverpool.

"I wouldn't like to lose Hugo," said Martinez.

"The reality is he had a little bit of a stop start season and niggles. It is important everyone is fully focused to win games for Wigan and I would love to keep Hugo for the longer-term."

It is claimed Kenny Dalglish has been monitoring the situation of Rodallega as he stalls over a new deal, and a January bid for his services has been mooted.

This one doesn't excite me. He's been, quite frankly, **** this season. He hasn't scored this season. Would he solve our scoring issues? I'm not too sure...

Your thoughts on these two rumours?
 
Lord no on Rodallega and Frei is good but I think this is more likely training, get seen by a few coaches, word of mouth and possible bigger move somewhere down the road, no necessarily Liverpool.
 
Milito just won " The Golden Bin" award by the Italian press as the worst player in 2011, crazy just over a year ago he was scoring for fun and won the CL. I would take him at Anfield although he is 29-30, he can score when he is fit and healthy that is for sure.
 
A few rumours about today...

Fernando Francisco Reges.

Liverpool are following Porto midfielder Fernando. The young Brazilian is being considered by Reds chief Damien Comolli after they lost Lucas Leiva for the season with a knee injury.

Fernando, also regarded highly by Chelsea's former Porto coach Andre Villas-Boas, is a defensive, ball-winning midfielder similar to Lucas.Only last week, there was talk in the Lisbon press that Fernando could be sacrificed by Porto during the winter market.

I don't know much about him so I can't comment on his ability but we've got Spearing to cover Lucas and other midfielders who can play in the middle. Would be surprised if we went for another centre midfielder.

David Villa.

Liverpool are reportedly ready to battle it out with Chelsea for out-of-favour Barcelona striker David Villa in January. Villa has dropped down the pecking order at Camp Nou, with numerous reports suggesting the Spain international has fallen out with club talisman Lionel Messi, although these have been denied on a number of occasions.

The former Valencia man has stated he has no plans to depart the Catalan club, but Spanish publication Marca claim the decision has been taken out of his hands and he has been placed on the transfer list by Barca.

Marca have reported that Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa are all interested in the striker, who is likely to be sold for considerably less than the €40million Barcelona paid for his services two years ago. Kenny Dalglish has already invested heavily in his front line with Andy Carroll, Luis Suarez and Craig Bellamy all fighting for a berth in the side but the chance to sign Villa may prove very tempting for the Reds boss.

Cannot see this happening. I think I saw somewhere that he has denied wanting out and would FSG spend around £30M on a player who is an outstanding player but is now 30.

Oh and i'm sure you'll notice this bit in the article...

Aston Villa?! I call bull**** on this article.

Steven Fletcher.

Liverpool are eyeing Wolves striker Steven Fletcher. Reds boss Kenny Dalglish is expected to enter the winter market for a new striker with his team struggling for goals this season.

The Express & Star says Fletcher is emerging as a big-money target for Champions League-chasers Liverpool.

Now, before we all say he isn't good enough, let's look at a stat.

  • 16 goals in 23 starts.

Now, that is a good start. Only 24 as well.

Decent player and wouldn't cost too much as well. You never know...

Your thoughts on today's rumours?
 
Fletcher is actually a decent player, and a Liverpool fan too.
People will say he's **** just because he plays for Wolves, but I think he's a lot better than that and could play for a top team.
 
FLetcher? Really? I actually met him out here, his best mate who he played at Hibs youth with went to college here in Cinci. Went to the bars and that. He bought a few rounds but was ****ING plastered lol. He loved the college life, young horny girls and they had no clue who he was, just he had cash and an accent, must have smashed like 10 girls in a week.

Note: True story actually lol.
 
did anyone predict suarez coming last january? this january signing,if any, will be a surprise. that is the lfc/fsg way.

I remember he was talked about from the start of Jan and we didn't get him till the back end. No one saw Carroll coming. In the summer no one would have guessed Henderson would come in. Whereas Downing, Adam and Enrique were all on the agenda for months before they were in.

This Jan we haven't been strongly linked with anyone yet so your guess would be as good as mine.
 
One rumour so far on the Liverpool website...

Sandro.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is ready to test Tottenham’s resolve to keep hold of Brazilian midfielder Sandro.The Reds want to strengthen their engine-room after the season-ending injury to Lucas Leiva.

Sandro is frustrated at a lack of playing time at Spurs but they want him to stay as cover for Scott Parker. The 22-year-old signed for Tottenham in 2010 for £8million, but despite brief glimpses of quality, has never nailed down a regular role in Harry Redknapp's side.

Now Dalglish is believed to be pondering a move for the former Internacional starlet, although Italy has been mooted as the midfielder's most likely destination should he leave White Hart Lane.

Sandro's agent Luiz Paulo Chignall said: 'A move to Italy? Sandro is interested in playing in the major leagues, and Serie A is one of them. In footballl you can never rule anything out, though, with it possible that negotiations will see all parties reach an agreement.

'Many clubs have contacted me for information on his situation, but there has been no official proposal. He's a Tottenham player and any possible negotiations must pass through the club.'

He's looked good when I have seen him play but I doubt Spurs would sell him and once Lucas comes back from injury, he would probably be cover for Lucas and then he wouldn't be happy again.

Cannot see this one happening.

Your thoughts?
 
he looked ok but really i couldn't say if he's got what it takes to really tep up to a regualr first team slot. just don't know.
 
Word is United have pretty much boxed off a deal for Gaitan off Benfica, to move in the summer, thats one we can knock off our list!!!
 
That's a good signing for them if true. Would like Ozil as all the United fans thought he was in the bag awhile back! Oh and he is qual a tee
