Fulham have rejected another Liverpool bid for Dempsey...seems they are going to try and squeeze at least £20m.
Some more news on the Dempsey situation via the BBC. We seem to be working very hard to get Dempsey at the lowest possible price. Makes more sense from a financial point of view especially considering what we've paid for players in recent times. But we don't want to leave it too late and not get it done. A balancing act i'm sure you'll agree...
Seriously gutted that he is, maybe, all we will end up with. Serious lack of ambition, we need a striker out and out, not someone who can play there when asked.
Sturridge on bench for Chelsea so not looking likely in other news Everton have made a bid for Butland.
I remember when City got bought out on deadline day and bought Robinho right before the window shut. Two years ago today we signed Konchesky.
Mark Lawrenson, BBC Sport Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live: "Liverpool cannot sign just Clint Dempsey, who is not an out-and-out striker. They need someone else as well, otherwise their problems will be the same as last year - not enough goals. I can just see them being in the same predicament as last season."
Why did we let Bellamy go? Borini is played out wide, Suarez is fantastic but can't score, if we get Dempsey he's not really a striker.
Not often I agree with lawrenson but he is spot on here. Either we are being very clever in our dealings or downright bloody stupid...I predict the latter . Hope in BR's 180 page document it tells you how to turn non scoring forwards into goal machines. Already this season in just a handful of games we are showing the same symptoms of wastefulness as last. Why let carroll go if replacement has not already benn lined up. Total stupidity.
Southampton fan laughing that they got a player we were no longer interested in? Given Joe Allen's start at Liverpool, I say we have a better player. Ramirez is good though and hope he does you lot a service.
