Bournemouth have reportedly launched a £6m move for Liverpool attacker Ryan Kent.
The 20-year-old came through the youth system at Liverpool, but he has only ever made one first-team appearances for the Reds, and that came in the FA Cup against Exeter City in January 2016.

(Video) Remarkable statistic reiterates Mohamed Salah’s incredible pace
Sadio Mane could be about to face fierce competition for the title of Liverpool’s fastest player with the club closing in on a deal for Roma winger Mohamed Salah.
The prospect of the pair on either flank is enough to frighten any defence in the Premier League with Jurgen Klopp eyeing up Salah as a means in which to add more of the explosive pace and directness that saw Mane become a revelation in his first season at Anfield.

Latest reports have suggested a deal has been agreed to bring the Egyptian to Merseyside this summer with Liverpool set to break their £35million transfer record, paid to sign Andy Carroll in 2011, having had an initial £28million bid rejected.
Detailed analysis from beIN SPORTS has reaffirmed the incredible pace fans have become all too familiar with thanks to weeks of insight into what the former Chelsea man might offer the Reds.
Using a seven second 70 metre sprint from back in 2015, they have arrived at the belief Salah is capable of running 100 metres in under 10 seconds, thereby putting him amongst the top eight sprinters in the world.

We won't "build a proper squad" by getting shot of everyone who isn't at the top level before we have someone who is.
It seems to me that people bemoan our lack of squad depth without actually having a firm grasp on what that means. If we expect to have two or three top, relatively equal players for each position -even key positions- then we're living in fantasy world.
Lucas is the very definition of a squad player for the level we've been at for the last few years. Can do a job, but needs to be improved upon if possible.
If, and when, possible -not jettisoned too early, leaving us with an even thinner squad.
It's not sentimentality, it's pragmatism.

thats the issue the level we have been at.

at any other period of our history... including 1990-2008 he'd not have lasted after that injury.

the fact is we've decided time and again over 5 years not to replace and improve.

or worse we bought chalie adam <laugh>
 
Former Liverpool performance coach Darren Burgess is set to join Premier League rivals Arsenal as the Gunners look to make significant moves to strengthen their backroom staff with a radical shake-up.

The 43-year-old Australian worked for the Reds between 2010-13, serving under Roy Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish and Brendan Rodgers as their head of fitness.

he made zero difference.... I dunno but under rogers players could only play for 30mins then rest and it seemd to me we got no less injuries. he was well thought of.

like our latest bloke. the hard training is grand but it makes little difference if you redline the players with not enough squad.

Of course, we have to improve that - but of necessity it has to be done gradually. Keep bringing in better players and those currently second choice will slip further down - then they can be released. We simply don't have enough players to be getting rid so easily.
You don't throw away your old boots until you've got new ones.
Anyway, I don't want to argue this with you ad infinitum - I think you're wrong on this, and you think I am, can't we just leave it at that?

How's the weather your way?

I just hope the period in which that making do is over and we are able to compete. That the period post bankruptcy (which it was in a but name) is now past.
