Some things I do know about Rodgers going into this season.

He planned for Coutinho to play CM (explains why he now wants Kovacic).
He did not want Balotelli, but gave in because he knew of Sturridge's injuries. He was then left stuck with a player who was counter productive to him.
He thought Lovren was the savior to our defensive woes.

I suspect Rodgers had this team in mind:

Mignolet
Johnson Skrtel Lovren Moreno
Gerrard
Henderson Coutinho
Sterling--------------------Lallana
Sturridge
​
Lallana was injured before he started. Coutinho and Gerrard were not strong enough for those roles. Sturridge got injured and Balotelli was counter productive to that team. Lovren flopped terribly. Mignolet started the season poorly.

If Rodgers tries the same plan again, but adjusts the players to suit we could see this:

Mignolet
Wisdom Skrtel Sakho Moreno
Lucas
Henderson Kovacic
Sterling-----------Coutinho
Sturridge
​
Still not ideal but hopefully better.

**** Sterling off and put Ibe in there. Or move Kovacic forward and play Milner
 
Everton are set to complete a £2.2million deal to sign Barcelona attacker Gerard Deulofeu, according to Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.


Well... that will be one hell of a coup! Guy was very highly rated couple years ago and did well at Everton, for £2m could be an absolute steal!
Sure @Tobes will be happy

edit:Barca apparently have option to buy him back at a later date for set price though

An unknown Premier League club and three other teams abroad have made offers for Liverpool target Carlos Tevez.

Tevez has a year left on his Juve contract and has been linked with move back to the Premier League.
 
Cant' saw I've seen Gomez play but he is highly rated and has impressed at international level by all accounts.

Another talented player - good to stockpile youth and sell for profits later on.

Yes, cracking deal for us that one.

Gerard is a very talented lad, his weak spot was his team play. Settling into a permanent home as opposed to merely looking to impress as a loanee means we should be able to integrate him more into the side as opposed to largely using him as an impact sub.

Not bothered about the buyback clauses, as the lad himself would have to want the return and he'd only want that if he was going to actually play. He'd therefore have to be really impressing for Barca to want to take him back with first team assurances. So it's a no lose for us really, given the tiny fee.
 
Yup it's a case of if he does really well that help everton so if barca step back in they step back in.

It's an excellent price as he prove he can do it.

It means no lennon right?

To swap Coates for him is a good deal. We must see our youth defenders are not all that like lloyd Jones etc.

We will see. I'd say hey stay at Charlton next seadon once he signs it is a higher level than our u21s.
