What do you think about Clint Dempsey? Now Sig has moved, logic (and the press) will dictate that he is in our sights once more. I think there's a real chance - we have American owners, with an American brand and an American market (and also Warrior). He'd be a great commercial and footballing signing.
Think he's a bit over-rated... and probably going to Dortmund or Monchengladbach. His transfer could hinge on whether Lewandowski leaves Dortmund.
I'd have loved Dempsey about three or four years ago, he is 29 (i think) now so a bit too old unfortunately
Yeh it says that - just think for 10m (ish) and with the amount of chances created last season he'd bang them in do us.
Looks like RVP is going then. That should end the Suarez talk. NB - he's declined to extend his contract.
Ramirez, Vargas, Sow ( similar type of forward with power and pace for about 10 mil), strootman/defour would be some names I would like to see us linked to or really looking at. Attainable as well, maybe even Nilmar from recently relegated Villareal?
Apparently there is real interest in Vargas and then there's the Ramirez-gate-saga-story... Both good acquisitions I think. Defour I haven't really kept up with... He went from being coveted by United to playing in Portugal didn't he? Is he up to it? Look at this, from the Arsenal board. Fickle? Did someone say fickle? PS I'd like Nilmar, if only for FIFA 13 reasons
It's starting to look like a tipicle Lfc summer! At least last year we knew who we wanted and signed them even if they didn't work out. The problem we've always had is we go in for the better players but there always waiting for a better deal from a club with more buying power. I don't think our core squad is to bad but we need to make some decent signings this summer or we could be going backwards again!
There is some solace. Look at the spine of our squad - Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Lucas, Gerrard, Suarez. That's pretty strong. Reina - relatively low profile signing Agger - complete unknown, great Rafa signing Skrtel - complete unknown Lucas - relatively low profile, although was Brazilian Serie A player of the year. Gerrard - youth team Suarez - high profile signing See what I mean? We're owed another good surprise!

Looking at the photos of the squad back for preseason, Aquilani isn't there. Rumour is he didn't turn up. Might have sprained his wrist driving there I guess. Italian newspapers saying talks have began with Bologna.
Wouldn't be a bad addition at all and probably has higher potential than Elm... Still would like to see some more pace down the wings and another attacking option but I feel ( and Rodgers has stated) that everything is being down hush hush.
