Play Coutinho on left with Eriksen in middle. However the would be flexible enough to interchange. Allen can keep the bench warm alongside Downing!
As far as papa is concerned the last I heard was that he was due a medical on the 10th? One report I read said we were due in Madrid tomorrow to sort out costa deal. Cissokho all gone quiet as well as the guy from benfical was it? Very quiet at the moment everywhere.
Yeah. He's been at Porto since 2009 (thanks wiki) so won't have citizenship. No idea on the wife/dependant front
so you lot are telling me we'll talk to costa tomorrow and papadopolous will turn in aug 10th. stop prick teasing me!
Skrtel to Napoli - deal has pretty much been completed, just a few details to wrap up. Not sure on specifics but 90% sure he won't be here at the end of the week.
Should have mentioned - Napoli were only ever interested in a season long loan, not a transfer. So whilst specifics aren't out, it's highly likely it'll just be a season loan with a small fee and option to buy. That's guesswork though based on what Napoli originally wanted. I just know he's off probably by the end of the week. Don't expect too much change...
Skrtel to Napoli surely means we're gonna have our Papa? Must be the case, otherwise we're ****ing mad for selling him.
The deal for the Benfica LB is off. Rodgers is now hoping to bring in either Cissokho or Guilherme Siqueira. - The Times I bet a lot of people are wondering who Guilherme Siqueira is - Personally, I haven't seen him play but a number of La Liga experts do rate him and he is a target for Real Madrid if Coentrao leaves (which speaks volumes). Where Cissokho is about pace and power (similar to Enrique), Siqueira is a classier, ball playing defender with excellent attacking abilities. At 27, he's no 'prospect' which would indicate he would compete directly with Enrique.
I was at the Emirates Cup on Saturday and saw Napoli - If Rafa had hair, he would have been pulling it out after that defensive display. No wonder he's looking at bringing in another defender! Another point - I knew he was good but seeing Hamsik play was a joy. I'm surprised he hasn't left along with Cavani and Lavezzi
