Man I wish we had some serious $$$ as I know he would love to play with Suarez...

Chelsea are keeping tabs on Edinson Cavani's situation at Napoli.

The Uruguay international is a top target for Chelsea, though Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has slapped a €100 million price-tag on his head.

But the mugging of Cavani's wife, Maria Soledad, in Naples yesterday could change the situation.

The striker may push for a move away after the incident, with Chelsea waiting in the wings.

Maria has now joined Cavani in London as he prepares for the Olympics campaign with Uruguay.



Really sad to see her mugged, wonder if it was because of transfer talk or just unfortunate circumstance?
 
nobody can say much bar we did "enquire" about dempsey... who the hell knows after that what occured.

Dare i say it maybe rodgers agreed with the "man in the street" test and thought the fee was too much just like memebrs of no606 did or perhaps he just hasn't gone back yet or perhaps we were rebuffed.. perhaps dempsey wasn't interested. we don't knwo so there's no point worrying about it right now.

as for gaston and even cavani... well who knows... LFC still have 5 weeks to buy someone.

The fee Fulham are asking must still be too much, good signs if we won't be messed about.

Targetted because they are rich in a poor city or what?
 
well all i can say is hoilett aint all that and really he didn't exactly make the difference for blackburn... surely if you are a bigger club you want the guy whos the stand out performer from a small club.

now ok here's an example... charlie adam.. I have said many times i don't rate him for lfc but he was standout for blackpool which led to us buying him. antoher example might be adam johnson from boro or downing also bought out of boro...

Hoilett is not really in my mind someone to jump all over so if he does better at qpr then good for him.

True. Would have taken him on a free to replace Maxi/Kuyt/maybe Bellamy in the squad but there you go.

I am a little surprised, but hopefully that's a sign that we have other targets? But yes, it's good for QPR, they have a good player there.

Perhaps we're not looking for out and out wingers as such.

Or that. I do hope we have other targets, and I do hope we do our best to get them. I don't want to lose out on a good player because we're too slow or we won't stump up the cash!
 
good point about wingers.

I am looking at this right now as:

Left forward could be: downing, cole, sterling, pacheco, suarez
Right forward could be: borini, suarez, sterling, cole, suso, gerrard even

If we play 433 then i have to wonder how we will line up.

downing even looks odd man out.

Reina
johnson skertl agger enrique
gerrard lucas adam
borini suarez cole

with back ups as:

kelly carra coates wilson
henderson spearing shelvey
suso carroll sterling/pacheco

If anything it'll be interesting to see what we are going to do.

i have to say would hoilett really improve us over and above those there now... and yes it might be light in reserve if carroll goes and we don't replace.
 
i guess that depends on whether rodgers rates downing cos he's said nothing nor been asked about downing at all.

Borini Suarez Downing
Suarez Borini Downing
Cole Suarez Borini
Suarez Carroll Borini

Suarez Borini DEMPSEY?
Suarez Borini RAMIREZ?

who knows?

there's room for more quality but i am wondering if rodgers is looking at the midfield more than the front 3 right now. my front 6 right now is cole, borini, suarez, carroll, downing and one of pacheco, suso, sterling.

our midfield is kind of scary..... gerrard, lucas, adam (gerrard = crock?, lucas = returning, adam = don't rate him) then henderson, spearing, shelvey. All three reserves are guys you want to gentle in not depend on even if two of them look hot. I can see why he's looking at allen even if i don't know if he improves it.

maybe our next signing will be in midfield.... maybe we'll sell carroll and replace with ramirez as a policy. big man out pacy guy in.

All fair points.

I'd take Ramirez ahead of Carroll if I'm honest. Technique, pace and guile for me.

EDIT:

Just found this snippet from Bellamy about Allen, dated 2nd July.

“On the Wales front, I’d have to go with Swansea’s Joe Allen," he told reporters.

"He’s special. He has made so many key plays for Swansea last season and I would be shocked if Liverpool did not go for him this summer.

"He’s a Brendan Rogers player, he fits Liverpool to a tee. If Liverpool are able to secure him, they will have a real gem of a player.”

You are the Jaimie Kanwar of Not606! You just keep saying mental things to get the attention of everyone. Adam over Shelvey?! My arse... you can kiss it :emoticon-0109-kiss:
