im not convinced either way. cant see how a little runour made up by someone in Bristol who alleged picked a name by random, became news not just in Bristol but it was reported in Liverpool based news and in national papers with quotes from his agent.
Im not saying it isnt possible but still makes me wonder if there is more to it but either way when it was first mentioned Liverpool had a different manager who played a different style of football. Liverpool now have a new manager who style of football seems to fit Suso style so with a successful pre season could be a regular squad player for the club.
