Liverpool Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 *mod warning linked in OP 26/07*

K-9

Hard to know, IIRC one of the journos tweeted we'd be spending big. Reina and maybe Agger/Skrtel would free up wages. The players we've bought wouldn't be on big wages. How much would Sanchez be on?

I thought we'd be in for Lovren and we've been linked with Alderweird again...Lots of people on twitter surprised that Garay went for so cheap, I wonder would he a have been an option for us.

Is Agueroooo permabanned?

Best not to discuss these things here, but in general most of the info people talk about comes from the DRP forum (or else from clicking on cards to see the warning/ban info). Here is the relevant thread for this.

Prob best to discuss the football anyhow. 7 weeks from now we will be like kids on Christmas eve as it'll be the day before the PL season starts. Hopefully one way or another all the Suarez stuff will be known by then and we'll have most if not all of our transfer business done.

I'm also getting the idea Brendan Rodgers is looking for players who won't mind rotation and understand it is a squad game.

Jaysus, the open month was going pretty well too until Suarez!

Blame suarez he has caused all the bans.

Yeah, its the right policy for us when we just don't have the squad depth others have.

Hardly any point. His ban precludes him from all football related activity so he won't be logging into boards til November.

If Suarez plays fifa14 on ps4 - is this in breach of ban?

The bastards.

He's just going to be a big cencored block in the game until the January update.

Bit weird if the FIFA game let's you run around stadiums with him.

Our fallen comrade has a thread in his honour relating to his leaving of boards.
His loss isn't being felt exclusively in this thread but all around the interweb

The Times are running this. It's gone behind the pay wall now.

Luis Suárez appears to be heading inexorably towards an Anfield exit after Barcelona resolved to sign the controversial forward despite his four-month ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini, the Italy defender, in an incident that has overshadowed the World Cup.

The Barcelona hierarchy held talks in the aftermath of Suárez’s suspension to establish whether or not to continue their pursuit of him, and Luis Enrique, the club’s coach, is understood to have held sway with a passionate appraisal of the qualities that the 27-year-old would bring to the team.

According to reports in Spain, as well as extolling Suárez’s virtues as a player, those in favour of taking the Uruguay striker to the Nou Camp also offered a reminder that Barcelona retained the services of Hristo Stoichkov despite the Bulgarian receiving a two-month ban for stamping on the foot of Urizar Azpitarte, the referee, in 1990.

Liverpool are aware of the growing momentum behind Barcelona’s attempt to sign Suárez, and they are also conscious that the Uruguay striker has a long-held desire to move to Spain. Though Liverpool will not allow Suárez to leave willingly, there is a growing feeling within the club that it would make sense to allow him to depart should they receive an offer approaching the record £85 million fee that Real Madrid paid for Gareth Bale last year.

It's starting to look like we're spending the Suarez's money alright.

I won't be near as upset at Suarez leaving as I would have been Wednesday morning. I'd be delighted with Sanchez + £50m, but I'd hesitate for anything less.

Didn't realise Sanchez was only 25, feels like he has been at Barcelona longer than three years.

K-9

If we get near 85 milion pounds we'd be mad not to. It seems we are serious about Sanchez which might make it easier as both clubs will want to deal.

Agent Coulson

It looks like he is going to Barca. They won't pay straight up £80m anyway.

But I would take Sanchez and Deulofeu plus £40/50m cash.

I would also try for both full backs as well Montoya and Alba bringing the cash down to £20m and 4 players.

If they want him we want alot in return.

Imagine if Barca had Messi, Neymar and Suarez.

Sweet jaysus.

Wouldnt be bothering us in the PL though and no use if they cant defend

delw

I get a funny feeling we'll sell Sauraz for less than his buy out clause,not get Sanchez & over pay for Lallana,would polish off the week the week we've had

Edit : Fare thee well Mike,you'll be missed

Would love to keep suarez and stick behind him but the witch hunt would be well and truly on for him next year. the FA would be willing to throw the book at him

Augmerson

If we get Sanchez and Pedro and maybe a little bit of cash too I'd be happy. Suarez is brilliant but if he thought the UK media were against him previously then next season would drive him mad.

Keep him, add to the squad and aim for trophies.

Just some finer points of Suarez' ban
