I can imagine poor Alexis settling down in his new Islington apartment, switching on the WC and seeing that BT Sport ad





Phil Thompson has it right.

Oh I know!!

But forgetting about Suarez I think they are 3 very good additions.

We obviously need more!!

they only really provide depth and competition.

there is zero guarantee that they will improve the 1st team.

we need signings at RB, CB, up front and maybe even CM that will walk into the team and immediately improve us, or else I fear we'll look back on this summer as a lost opportunity.

Lallana goes straight into the first team in my opinion. His work rate and productivity is fantastic.

If it's derogatory I will say yes and Fescue's cat can take the heat from them.

Janmaat anyone?

I've only seen him at the world cup but he has been excellent.

Yes he cracks a good few every match! He's very frank that's what I like too. far more entertaining than most!

He has an hilarious ability to mis-read situations and get all hot & bothered, tonight he was raving on about Robben being upset for not being asked to take the penalty, when in fact Robben was raging that the defender was not being sent off for a blatant last man foul.. i love him especially when discombobulated

Twitter is telling me Markovic is in Liverpool and doing a medical tomorrow.

EDIT: Twitter is also telling me we're interested in Jay Rodriguez. That's Jay Rodriguez...not James. Jay. **** everything,I'm going to bed to cry myself to sleep.

Andre Wisdom is going on loan for a season to the Baggies apparently.

Good move for him I guess. Had hoped he might have stayed and pushed Glen Johnson. I guess the club don't rate him as highly as Flanagan.

Looking at the lack of full backs there would want to be a recall clause in that but I assume that would be standard practice now. It would indicate to me that there will definitely be purchase(s) in that area.

Well we couldn't leave him on his own down in Southampton since all his team mates are heading for the North West.

If that's true I am guessing the club blocked 'The Rodgers' from making his dream move and taking over Southampton this summer.

The way the club handled Arsenals bid for Suarez last year,I wonder will it have any bearing on how transfer targets might decide on singing for us or not. It was 100% correct in my eyes but that might not be the case from a player and agent pov.

No, this thread loves an excuse for a player not to sign. London being a very popular reason at the moment. Guess what, if a guy would prefer to live in London than play for a another club I don't want him playing for LFC.

If they want to play for us, they will sign.

players are less stupid then us in getting persuaded over a single game or two.

I could have sworn Barcelona got spanked lots of times last season with Sanchez playing

Well I hope you're right and we can put an end to our poor track record when it comes to "marquee signings" and losing out on the signature to our rivals.

Plenty of time left in this window to secure players that will help with the loss of Suarez.

Well if you look at it from another angle it could be seen a a good thing - That the club will keep hold of their best players.

The mirror are running with the story that we're after Jay Rodriguez now...jesus, might as well just buy Southampton.

If all their players are so good, how come Southampton didn't win the league last season?

I remember reading somewhere that you could buy a majority stake in Southampton for about 100 million, probably would have been cheaper for Liverpool, could have got Shaw as well :pac:

Not entirely blaming FSG but we haven't been holding onto our best players now for the last few years.. Suarez, Torres, Masch, Reina(looking for a move to Barca) Alonso and Arbeloa.

Not forgetting, Carroll, Downing and Adams

Jesus Wept

We got rid of Reina cause he had gotten gash. Torres turned out well, the other two were never staying for life.

It's not the same without my little chewy.

Reina wanted a move to Barca and was temporarily moved on. Doesn't really matter how the Torres move worked out, he still broke many pool hearts by joining Chelsea. I've read many posts in this thread regarding the return of Alonso and Masch, which would back up my point that Liverpool haven't been able to hold on to their best players.

They weren't managed by Rodgers.
