Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2013/14

I'd say we are far better than break even Mike when you factor in wages

Why do you keep asking? It was made clear at the end of last season that there would be a pot of money for a "big" signing, as things stand we're at break even, so 25-30 million "net" spend would hardly be outrageous.

No one answered me first time.

There's plenty of money. Sure we are spending nothing these days, only cutting costs

I thought it was a sell to buy thing?

Where's the money coming from? Very unliverpool like these days?

No, different countries have different rules. Apparently we got refused a work permit for that Paraguayan left back from Malaga.

I think the difference with Willian would be that if you can prove he gives what no British player can it makes a case in itself, and it's hard to dispute that I'd say. I doubt a permit would be an issue for him.

Morata is in the Indigo Hotel in #LFC training grear

Alvaro Morata to LFC? Please be True.

Moley ‏@MoleyBTK 37s
interesting 2 seperate people messaged me tonight saying #Morata is in the Indigo Hotel in #LFC training grear

Moley ‏@MoleyBTK 1m
was told first it was #arbeloa but that was a mistake he came back and said it was #Morata

~Rebel~

As far as I understand it, they just have to prove that he's an exceptional talent to a commission. The transfer fee's he's commanded alone should prove this fairly easily.

Whos going to start up front tomorrow. Is it a little early to have Sturridge starting, not much game time since injury?

Ten years ago they were team-mates as Arsenal’s Invincibles went a season unbeaten. Martin Keown and Kolo Toure are still good friends.

Here, they talk Arsenal, Manchester City, Kolo’s drugs ban and his excitement at joining Liverpool.
