Any truth in the speculation that Ashley Cole could appear in red next season - I think he would strengthen the squad

Isn't he off to one of the Turkish clubs? Thought I heard something about it yesterday because I remember breathing a huge sigh of relief he wouldn't be joining Liverpool.

Really?

I'd have thought Suarez is streaks ahead on this score

I see where he is coming from. Sturridge is extremely skillfull and technical. Remember that lob he scored last year? Not many players at all can pull that off.

Suarez excels with his desire and sheer genius. Honestly, the fella is streets ahead in terms of thought when on the pitch. I wouldn't say he's massively more technically gifted than Sturridge though.

Nobody should have any sympathy for clubs who lose players imo, its all just footballs food chain. We lose players to other clubs for the same reasons as Lovren may join us. How many at Barca have spoken on Suarez in the last 10 days?. Loads, from top to bottom, to ex players.

The fact Lovren wants to join us is good for us and bad for others. If it happens to us down the road in a similar way then in all likelihood the player will have done well on the pitch, whats so bad about that?. Its a rinse repeat of times gone by.

The Southampton era that was there is over and reached its peak. Owner, manager/s, other players etc. That's why Lovren wants out, its why we lost others during G&H, same thing. He said as much in that ESPN interview.

"I'd gladly stay in Southampton if the club had any ambitions, if they kept the key players,".

Benzino

A number of people on Twitter (not sure how reliable they are) saying Bertrand deal agreed for 6m.

Lord Trollington

Is the case that we are very eager to off load Suarez or are Barcelona extremely interested in him?

Who has the upper hand in negotiations because there's no way Suarez should be sold unless a deal is in replace for a world class replacement.

Just found an article online about Luis Suarez leaving that also gives the goal scoring records of other strikers that have left us and how the got on goal-wise after leaving.

In regards to the Sanchez situation i actually think Suarez going to Barca makes the Sanchez deal harder in terms of the player feeling like a makeweight even if the deal is done separatley. No player wants to be makeweight & they rarely happen as it kinda destroys the players confidence.

All reports indicate he's not keen on LFC anyways. If he's not coming Suarez should not be sold until a replacement is found.A credible proven replacement.

We seem to be intent on raiding Southampton for players, Lalanna was enough for met to be honest.

If I was going after another CB in eye premier league it would be Ron Vlaar.

So seeing as Milk is currently unavailable...


Harry Wilson has apparently signed his first pro contract with Liverpool.

Nothing official as yet just a few not-so-official sites.

Vlaar?!? Have you seen him for villa or basing it solely on the World Cup? He's been exceptionally average at villa and nowhere near the level lovern was at last season.

Everyones favourite spanish football expert ballague is saying sanchez dosent fancy coming here, its between arsenal and juve id imagine now. We need a quality forward to come in, markovic and origi dont satisfy that really as good as markovic even is now.

If he's a top top player this won't affect him. Nothing bothers top top players.

I have 2 mates who support Villa so I've seen him pretty much all last season. He ploughs a lone furrow in defence for Villa. He's had a few shaky moments for sure but if you have Ciaran Clarke beside you so would you.

He's been excellent during the World Cup and has had umpteen man of the match performances for Villa.

The two spanish lads we nabbed last year signed pro contracts too. Chirivella and canos.

Benzino

Goal.com (I know) saying £32m deal agreed between Arsenal and Barca for Sanchez while Duncan Castles saying Arsenal are confident of landing the player after Suarez deal is wrapped up.

Guess we better move on to our next target.

Agent Coulson

I don't know how true or if just another internet rumor going around now is that Emre Can donated 50k to a local childrens hospital in Liverpool yesterday.

If true fair play to the lad.

Few of the local twitter "ITKS" were saying it alright, fantastic gesture if true.


Seems pre season training officially starts tomorrow too.

Great pic of monster mash yesterday.

Would love to get him back, he's been excellent for the Argies

I have only seen him play maybe a handful of times at best but Griezemann seems to be highly rated..
Might be an alternative to Sanchez..

I thought Biglia instead of Gago made a huge difference.

He's still the real captain of that team on the pitch.

Lazar Marković seems to be a done deal.

Journalist @aminhabola (Mariana Cabral) of Portuguese Paper Express says #LFC have tied up Lazar #Markovic.

€25M
