    exactly... you can tell if an article is fake or not by who the hack links an lfc target to.

    no link means its probably true.... but will we bid.... the suspense!!

    @DuncanCastles: Liverpool agree single-season loan deal for Paraguayan left back Lorenzo Melgarejo. #LFC #SLB #PAR http://t.co/brlfeecE7L

    Liverpool and Benfica have agreed the transfer of Paraguayan left back Lorenzo Melgarejo subject to a work permit. Melgarejo will move to Anfield on an initial single-season loan with Liverpool holding an option to make the transfer permanent for a fee of less than &#8364;10million next summer.

    A converted winger, Benfica extended Melgarejo's contract until 2018 in September following his promotion to a starting berth. The 22-year-old made his first appearance for the Paraguay national team two months later. Known for his skill on the ball, the 1m78 Melgarejo is not a particularly combative defender. He is, however, a low-cost option for Liverpool, being paid around &#8364;500,000 a year at present.

    Looks like Lorenzo Melgarejo is set to join us on loan. I do hope he is brought in as a LW, and we still get Cissokho as LB.

    yuk, a midget left full. we'll see what he can go do. i presume it means assaidi is on his way very shortly... if the previous pattern of players coming in is maintained it should be less than a week before someone goes.

    A few Portuguese journos who watch Benfica regularly say that he is a horrendous left back and should be shifted to LW which is where he is most dangerous. I think he has spent most of his career (bar one season) as LW so playing LB is a relatively new to him. Could have potential.

    Not keen on loan moves after Sahin.

    well he can't be as bad as downing but then he's sent on loan with a view to buy which can only mean those journos are probably right. We'll see I think its an assiadi swap. seeing we've two young winders i'm not sure we really need him but perhaps cissohko deal is gone.

    Apparently there is a hold up over his wages. Not sure if he's asking for more which would be ridiculous as we would only be entitled to pay what he's on currently at Valencia.

    If he could replicate his form at Porto and Lyon, then he'd be a great option.

    Rumours that Skrtel is close to agreeing terms with Napoli.

    If so, I expect a new CB to come - Papa ...

    meh.... tell him to get stuffed so... anyone in his situation being that greedy can just go do one. its probably why he is where he is right now.

    same as suarez will be the sense of entitlement these guys get is astounding.

    Yep - disappointing if true. Can't be dealing with players like that.

    Edit - he has a chance to regain his form and show everyone that he is a top class defender. We're giving him a great platform to perform.

    indeed.... one has to feel that somehow rodgers simply doesn't fancy enrique as a player... he could eb the next finnan... constantly being replace and having to fight of trash like this. remember josemi, kronkamp et al?

    Some media outlets - nothing reliable I don't think <ok>

    I think the fee is rumoured to be around £7-10m. Personally think he's worth more.

    Lorenzo Melgarejo medical appears to be booked in for tomos.

    Reporter from the Times (can't remember his name) says a deal for Papa is becoming increasingly likely - LFC have been waiting for the swelling on his knee to clear which it has now. The sticking point is still the fee.

    Re. the fee - I'm guessing we will be more flexible once we sell Skrtel.

    From the Echo:

    I'm guessing that BR still sees Enrique as number 1 choice and that Melgarejo is merely back up (going back on the quote re. value for salary/playing time).

    I dont think his height is to big an issue in our system. As long as he is quick, strong and very brave.

    You could say your put off transfers after Andy Carroll.

    Loan deals are safe as they remove the risk of signing a player for a big fee them flopping and being sold for a loss.
