    Despite IBWT's visibly vocal reticence, I'd love for this to be true. Great potential talent for us to nurture. <ok>

    Dunno not judging from wc... Judge if it happens.

    Also...... Full back? Meh not such a risk position

    My focus is on who we choose to replace Gerrard and Suarez with as both buys are critical. Expect Moreno deal to be done quick mind

    We will see this next week

  3. I find out amusing when posters say X player isn't good enough to replace Suarez. There are only two players in world football capable of doing that... C.Ronaldo & Messi and quite simply, we aunt getting either. Everyone else is a downgrade!

    That's what I said last night. We have to reorganise, build the team differently now.

    Though I'm not sure where your aunt fits in.

    The biggest problem we face is morale. Both fans and players will be down about losing Suarez, he was our world class player. If there isn't an attempt to replace him with a quality player we will pay the price. Also the signings thus far are all players I would hope we could sign if we didn't have European football at all!

    precisely.... all three argument are perfectly fine but the best of all is 75million STERLING.. that all of his money and more IMO. I do notice you didn't bother dispute the 13 games out... theres always another player. always.

    Oh and remind me.. how much for barkely... less than lallana <laugh> did you enjoy that story as much as the suarez one ;)

    thats a fair point but he'd be out for a third of the season anyway. I said on numerous occasions to enjoy it while it lasted. frankly everyone expected a bid this summer yeah? well if we get 75mil out of him its a class fee.

    you are right, if theres no attempt... thats an if... surely to god we can drop the doubts about FSG at this point. thats long gone. the only issue we have is players wanting chelsea's money and being total mercs which btw i find a great test... are they salah... <laugh> LFC need to now pick their man and try to get him on the back of secnond so all in all we could not be parting at a better time...

    anyway.. last year it was 40mil + £1 and him out for 5 games... this year its 75mil and out for 13.... come on guys we can't have it happening again.

    Joking aside, do you trust Brent to re-invest the cash wisely?

    His record in the market so far is largely pants and your summer additions are expensive meh so far imo.

    Suarez was always likely to go this summer given his age and his desire to play in Spain, so this can't have come as a great shock to those in power at Anfield, plus the willingness to negotiate says they're happy to part company anyway. So given that, they surely had some form of plan?

    Which.... No doubt cannot be put into action prior to a sale so we cannot know one way or another

    I'm on record about last summers crap too but in the end coutinho, sturridge, can and Moreno all follow a pattern... Even sahko to an extent. Young and rated

    Why lallana the? F knows

    But the thing is if we go for someone I expect them to be young and very highly rated so they can be sold on if required..... Oh like Barkley except a forward

    Can falls into that category but the other 2 acquisitions don't. Neither will have a re-sale value of any note.

    In terms of a 'plan' surely they'll want to get their business done before the Suarez deal concludes? As otherwise there'll be a premium added to every player they enquire about.

    <laugh> We're not even a crossing team . . . that's Man Utd. :bandit:

    We could get Downing back and play him as the left back if you like? #mostcrosseslastseason

    In which case this is likely to happen


    .......Dejan Lovren has told Sportske Novosti his head is already at Liverpool despite Southampton rejecting an offer worth 20 million pounds.

    - LIVE: Transfer Talk

    Croatia defender Lovren, 25, appeared set to be the latest star to depart St Mary's, with Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana already having moved to Anfield while Luke Shaw has joined Manchester United. Their former coach Maricio Pochettino has also departed for Tottenham.

    However, new Saints boss Ronald Koeman rejected the Reds' bid for Lovren and the player has expressed his frustration at the situation.

    "Liverpool sent the offer and the club haven't informed me," he said. "Not even about the subsequent Liverpool bids. That wasn't right. I found out about the bid from other people which disappointed me and I realised I've got no business staying at Southampton.

    Only one of Skrtel or Agger will be sold, but there's interest in both hence the Lovren bids from us. I like Lovren, him and Sakho could be our next partnership.

    Anyone know what's happening with Toure?

    More on Lovren.

    Southampton defender Dejan Lovren has demanded to leave St. Marys, saying: "My head is already at Liverpool."

    Toure has apparently held talks with another club but that is all we know.


    I will miss Skrtel if he goes. Lovren, Sakho, Agger, Skrtel and Ilori would make a great set.
