Rory Smith - "LFC's failure isn't the structure of the transfer committee (manager, 2 scouts and Ayre). It must be the people involved." "By all accounts, the scouts haven't been convinced by a single defender they've considered. That staggers me."
maybe its the budget they have for the required player. do scouts get told what value we will pay when told to look for players?
pah blame the scouts my arse... rodgers is the man who tells them precisely what he wants. they report back and committee can believe them or not, in short they can get their own judgement out and use it. if the committe agrees m'villa is a nutbar and he's not for them thats thier issue.
Liverpool are also reportedly interested in signing Andre Gomes, the Portugal under-21 international. The Benfica midfielder is known for his precise use of the ball and is regarded by Brendan Rodgers as well suited to Liverpool’s possession-oriented game. Gomes’ opportunities at Benfica were limited by Nemanja Matic’s excellence in the holding role, but his value to the club has increased since Matic’s move to Chelsea earlier this month. Benfica want £12.4m for Gomes, 20. Victor Moses, meanwhile, could sign for Liverpool on a permanent deal after boss Rodgers hinted at a switch from Chelsea. Liverpool's reported long-term target, Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa is said to have reached an agreement with Chelsea. Chelsea are said to have reached a 'verbal agreement' over the purchase of that will see them beat Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United to the player in the summer
Would definitely take De Jong. Experience, won the title, nutter and would add some much needed bite to our midfield.
Surely a loan deal would make sense? We don't have to splash out if prices are inflated, just bolster our midfield as we're short on options! De Jong, Javi Garcia, Song.. Anyone!
Finally a signing! http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/latest-news/154005-garuda-become-lfc-training-kit-partner Garuda, sounds exotic, def a playmaker.
PSG's acting sporting director Olivier Letang is currently in Newcastle to complete a deal for Yohan Cabaye. #PSG #NUFC
f**k this window, will be so irritated if we come away from it having signed f**king Moses and some 3rd rate European club's reject midfielder
Newkie weighing up a 13 mil bid for Clement Grenier from Lyon. A good midfielder, not sure he is the steel we need but is the creativity we lack in there.
