Was there anything more on Origi after the anfield wrap tweet?

googled eyes

Dunno. But she made the claim in a reply to someone else and twitter ran with it.

Only €4.99 and not €79,000,000

There's a British Airways thread? Sounds like some serious skit.

25m for Markovic seems... excessive.

That said, I haven't seen much of the man. Anyone watch Benfica a fair amount?

Great pic of monster mash yesterday.

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

Didn't he refuse to play for us because he wanted to force his move to Barca?

Be very happy to see him in the team. Midfielder that can score a few and carry the ball through the centre of the field. Wasted out wide at Newcastle after an impressive start in the centre.

I dont blame him for wanting out but the manner he went about it was disgraceful putting it mildly. Unless I'm wrong, i just remember it coming out before a Manchester city game. Think we got thumped 3-0 as well.

Aye, I really wanted him a couple of years ago, so it'd be nice if we did manage to sign him finally. A midfield of himself, Can and Henderson would be some sight in regards to work rate and athleticism.

Sissoko is also very good at creating chances too. Would be a great signing.

Lovren put this up on Instagram lol

^^^^Lovren is really starting to look like a right pain in the hole, he better not think he'll just stroll into the Liverpool squad without earning his place if he does come..

Di marzio saying we've bid 25 mill for markovic

Wikipedia already has him playing for us

If its Euros rather than sterling that wouldn't seem unreasonable for a decent prospect (assuming there's a lot of clauses to be met to get to the full amount)

Roma apparently

Bit of a fall from grace going from playing for Chelsea to working in an Italian takeaway.

Or maybe not.

Don't really understand the Lovren bashing. The Southampton team and club is completely different now.

Can't talk about work rate without mentioning the Lallana lad

Wonder what kinda money Sissoko would go for? 5 years left on his contract and only cost newcastle pennies.

Same as. I have no issues with what he says below.

Dejan Lovren has criticised Southampton for blocking a potential move to Liverpool and the defender admits his head is already at Anfield.

Liverpool, who have signed forwards Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana from Saints already this summer, had a £20million bid for the Croatia international rejected on Friday.

The south coast side want £25m for their star centre-back, who says he does not see a future at the club following the departures of popular manager Mauricio Pochettino to Tottenham, Luke Shaw to Manchester United, and Lambert and Lallana to Merseyside.

Lovren, 25, told Croatian media: "Liverpool sent the offer and the club haven’t informed me, not even about the subsequent Liverpool bids, and that wasn’t right.

"I found out from other people, which disappointed me, and I realise I’ve got no business staying at Southampton.

"They paid £9m for me so they would’ve earned twice the amount. At this point, I don’t know what I’ll do and I don’t like it.

"Frankly, my head is already at Liverpool. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the last time I played at Anfield I got chills when I heard ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. I would like to listen to it all the time."

Despite finishing eighth in the Premier League last season, Southampton endured an uncertain time following the resignation of popular chairman Nicola Cortese in January.

Pochettino, Lambert, Lallana and Shaw have all left the club in the close-season and, speaking to Croatian publication Sportske Novosti, Lovren believes Southampton have subsequently fallen apart.

He said: "I signed because the club had great ambition. Cortese and Pochettino convinced me to sign, gave me assurances about the project and incredible confidence, but when the chairman left and Pochettino was going too, as early as April, I realised things had fallen apart.

"Honestly, I don’t know who the main man at the club is anymore. I’d gladly stay at Southampton if the club had any ambitions and if they kept the key players – not even the Liverpool bid would have dissuaded me if they had done that."

Lovren was signed by Pochettino from Lyon last summer and has made 31 appearances for the Saints, scoring twice.

Can't argue much with the man there. We'd all do the same.

Didn't Markovic go for less than 10m last season?

He''ll be straight into the first team I'd imagine.

The more I think about it , the more I'm looking forward to seeing him and Sakho at the centre of our defence. There's the potential there for a solid unit.

When was the last time we had two nailed on starting centre backs?

Watched it. Waited for something funny to happen. Nothing did.

Agent Coulson

Didn't Dempesy say something similar and try the same thing to join us before ending up at Spurs.

Can see the same happening with Lovren if Southampton get p1ssed off with us.

@TonyBarretTimes: Liverpool hope to conclude a deal to sign Lazar Markovic this week. They're also set to discuss personal terms with Divock Origi.

Alot of forwards we have now, be interesting to see who gets cut.

I'm thinking 3 at the back.

Origi is meant to going back to Lille on loan though for another season. So can probably count him out.
