Lucas is also on his way out apparently. He's removed "LFC Player" from his twitter bio and also unfollowed the LFC twitter account...surely means he's headed for the exit?

Probably best for both parties. With Gerrard, Henderson, Lallana, Can and Allen, Lucas might have entered the season as 6th choice in midfield.

This way he gets to play more regularly somewhere else and we might even get a decent fee for him to add to the transfer kitty.

Jesus Wept · 08-07-2014 02:19AM

Why would he unfollow LFC's twitter.
Did he defriend us on Facebook too?

Did Lucas not just sign a new contract last year?

Also

Not the club shop AFAIK, was just some random sports shop

I really will be sad to see Lucas go, he was bought for 5.5 mill if i remember rightly and always tried his best on the pitch, he was just unlucky with his injuries.

For all the goals, I'll always remember that shot against Arsenal, 2-0 up inside what? 10 minutes? I've never been so dumbfounded by a footballer in my life! Hell every single player barring the helpless Arsenal keeper stood motionless, just ball watching. I still don't know to this day how the guy never lost his balance, just got on with play as if nothing happened! November and December was something else, unplayable and unmarkable, we'll never see the like again, but WOW, I'll remember that shot till the day I die!

If this hadn't been posted it's what I was going to say. That and the header from 20 yards vs West Brom got the biggest roar from me last season I'd say in terms of "I can't believe that happened". The bitey genius will be much missed. I hope if he is ever back he won't be booed.

Not to mention the fact that this is the Aspas photoshop :pac:

Is anyone else expecting Chelsea to cockblock the Markovic deal at the last minute?

I think I mentioned it on here before but during that Arsenal game,when the 4th went in I think,I started laughing my head off. Couldn't believe what was happening. Wife heard me and came into the sitting room and said "I thought you were watching football...what's so funny?" All I could say was "This game is mental" and kept laughing.

1. If they could have I'd say they would have by now or they just don't rate him and are happy for us to blow 25 mil on him (euros or sterling - not sure which)

2. Even Ayre and company surely wouldn't be dumb enough to leak it to various LFC friendly journalists that the deal is all but done when Chelsea could still effectively block it

@donfers, didn't they leave it very late in the day to sting Spurs over Willian?

Liverpool Football Club are pleased to announce that seven Academy-based players have signed professional contracts.

Goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux and defender Kevin Stewart have signed after leaving Tottenham Hotspur.

The pair join playmaker Sergi Canos, defensive midfielder Pedro Chirivella and Wales winger Harry Wilson in penning deals.

Academy duo Jordan Williams and Sheyi Ojo, meanwhile, are signing their new contracts today.

joe123 · 08-07-2014 09:50AM

seen a few people on here saying how excited they are by Liverpools attacking line up next season even without Suarez.

Can I ask, how many of you genuinely see this Markovich lad play? Il be honest in that I've never seen him kick a ball apart from watching some youtube videos of him since the news broke. Even the videos didn't get me overly excited.

I still can't see past his 5 goals in a poor league last season. Lambert and Borini aren't going to win you titles and we can't rely on Sturridge for an entire season with added Champions league matches in between.

Turtyturd · 08-07-2014 09:51AM

Didn't Mourinho who can't get Chelsea to a CL final let Spurs do the medical?

Masterclass

googled eyes · 08-07-2014 09:55AM

Apparently Chelsea have a first refusal option at around half what we're paying
*according to the word of twitter

It was though...he saved a few quid on doctors fees.

Unless he has a medical card...I haven't thought this through. Continue on

Thats the word on the street, something alone the lines of 12.5 million.

Although we dont really need him right now, he'd be swalloed up and sold after paying about 6 games for us and 3 years on loan somewhere.

I cant see us coming in for him anytime soon but if Lukaku decides hes off that might change.

Who's to say it was a deliberate leak by the club? It doesn't benefit them to make their confidence known or have someone publicize that they've made a bid even if Chelsea were totally powerless. Yet we're all aware of it.

witnessrenegade · 08-07-2014 10:18AM

Hope we sign a big name, all good and well buying young players in the hope they come up good like Coutinho, but id still like an exciting name to come in this summer, with Aspas and Suarez we're left with Borini, Rickie and Daniel as our front players, we're gonna need more than that with CL and that imo

Has Aspas left?

Carrying Suarez's bags??

donfers · 08-07-2014 10:52AM

if arsenal are getting sanchez then why don't we get in there and gazump them for their long-time target draxler?

Also haven't heard a lot of noise on Bolasie lately - could do worse and would be cheaper than most but then again he could be another flavour of the month type signing.

All in all not looking good at the moment on the transfer front but long way to go

lose suarez, miss out on most important target who goes to another team and sign players who are not exactly marquee names and whom we could have attracted anyway.

We have cash, we are in the CL and Rodgers has stated publically that he wants to sign players to start - bearing in mind all of this our transfer business thus far has been underwhelming.

Hopefully we aren't going to repeat the mistakes of the last two times we came second and screw up in the market that summer and suffer the following season.

Boom_Bap · 08-07-2014 10:58AM

I think that Sanchez is going to end up at Juve. Talks of them offloading Pogba to make it happen.
Apparently the Suarez deal depends on Barca selling Sanchez as we want the amount paid in full upfront.

Draxler signed a new contract last year, he's supposed to be really happy where he is.

I'd nearly prefer him to Sanchez.
