Who is the pretty lady with the scarf?

Lana Del Ray, I think.

How can you write both these statements and keep a straight face>

I know it seems incongruous. But you can only go on what you've seen. Other than that slip, I don't think anyone can question that Gerrard was the better player, when going up vis-a-vis against Lucas. I think perhaps injuries have simply taken their toll on Lucas but I also think that Gerrard's ability, intelligence and vision has mitigated against his failing legs.

Hold on. What are they doing?

Don't they know we're meant to get the player for a while before they do?

Big Sam must be cutting out the middle man and buying LFC's cast offs before they spend a year at Anfield .

Regarding Konoplyanka vs Markovic:

Tor-Kristian Karlsen @karlsentk · 17m

From Konplyanka to Markovic - quite a radical improvement on Liverpool's transfer strategy (and Champions League helps too)

Tor-Kristian Karlsen @karlsentk · 6m

Without any shadow of a doubt --> RT @ahmedy_alrujaib do you think markovic has far better potential than konoplyanka ?

I figure he's not a bad option for 6m.

I can only assume that the people who don't want Bertrand at the club have never watched him playing.

I've seen him play. Not that often though as he's barely started 40 senior games even though he's almost 25.

Can't say he ever stood out. No better than what we already have.

If Bertrand was any good maybe Jose might have played him at LB this season instead of sticking a right footed player in there.

Chelsea have let plenty of young players pass through their fingers over the years. Sturridge, Matic, Lukaku, possibly Cortouis.

Coutinho's decision making on when to shoot needs improvement...it's not like he's Henderson.

He's better than what we have and 6-8 million would be a snip. I really can't understand people judging a player without seeing them play.

How often have you watched him Vanolder ? Maybe if he was foreign and cost £20 million you'd be happier even if you never seen him play ?

I hope we get him.

He is 25 and has played less then 40 PL games it's safe to say not many people have seen him play.

His loan spells have not worked out for him with no club running to buy him after a loan.

I did see him play at the end of last season at Villa a number of times and he was muck.

He had one or two good games under Di Matteo & Rafa at Chelsea that's about it.

According to Jay Riley( Someone I consider reliable) we are interested in Remy. I think for 8m he would be a very good signing. If we get Lovren too we would have signed 4 players who are not huge names but have PL experience & performed very well too. They wouldn't be marquee signings but it would be better business than what Spurs done last season imo.

I am surprised he hasnt gone somewhere already, for some reason was convinced he was gone

Doesn't be long coming around does it. Pre season games on LFC TV I presume.

Must give my wife this exciting news seeing as she's loving all this summer football!

They need to have a summer tournament every year !! So we get a full year of football .
