Money and Champions league is enough to bring black players to Russia so they can be racially abused.

Liverpool mightn't be the most metropolitan city in the world but it's not Baghdad.

Great to see Jose Enrique back in training. I might be on my own on this one but I'm a fan of Enrique, for the most part, would be happy enough to not sign another left back if I could be sure he would stay fit.

Nuri, I'm not sure how I feel about your list. On one hand it's nice to see such quality players that we could bid for, on the other hand it's depressing as I don't think the club are looking at them as options.

Markovich appeared as a more or less done deal last week.

Lambert came from nowhere.

Just because we don't know we're in for them doesn't mean we're not.

I'm sure the club has extensive knowledge of every player on Nuri's list and more. Until they're leaning against a shed in Melwood, it's a mystery who among them we're after.

No. Players prefer spurs because of Kate Cohen articles.

Fact.

I think so, but I don't think anyone can be certain right now until the club says something post-signature. Depends if Borini and/or The Great One, aka Iago Aspas remain I'd have thought at any rate.

edit - The Great One is being linked with Sevilla, apparently.

Part of Moreno deal maybe?

Origi has massive potential but it doesn't look like a signing that will help us next season. Presuming that he's still going back to Lille on loan. Seems like Real Madrid came in for him late as well.

But I do know about Fred and Jo. Specially Jo.

Fred I could understand, even though he's getting Old. But Jo? Surely this Damiao would be better than Jo.

Aye, he was, but tbf, Brazilians hype up any native striker who has had a good season which was the case for him. I was hoping Spurs were going to sign him.. before they ruined Soldado.

I'd have played Firmino up front alongside Neymar or Neymar just off him, tbh. Unfortunately for Firmino, a man called Scolari stood in his way.

Suarez and Gerrard are reportedly on 200k a week.

Suarez was on £120k a week (originally 80k) according to most reliable Liverpool journalists. He was due a pay rise to £200k for the 14/15 season since his most recent contract.

I've never heard any reports of Gerrard on more than £120-130k. There were rumours at one point that he had a clause to match his wages with the highest earner in the squad but with Suarez going that'll still be Gerrard himself.

Would love if you were right but Sanchez is a huge addition for arsenal. He wont flop as hes a brillant player who gels very well with their style of play. Hes a huge improvment in an area they were weak in last season. Top player for a very good price.

In losing suarez we lose our best player which indirectly allow Arsenal to stregthen their team with a player who i feel with be a stand out player for them next season. At the moment it not working out well for liverpool no matter how anyone spins it.

I get this, you don't want to spend money on aging superstars (28+) who are possibly in decline but want to spend it on younger players who have still to develop. To give an example, RVP to Utd. at 29, with a five-year contract and a transfer fee together totalling over £60m is bad business.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89rik_Lamela

Erik Lamela was 21 joining Spurs.
Mesut Ozil was 24 joining Arsenal
Alexis Sanchez is 25 joining Arsenal.

These should be players you want. All players yet to reach their peak. Of course Lamela is not in the same class as the other two but using your own criteria, they are all player you should want.

All 3 of them were / will be over-priced due to their high profiles with big clubs, Lamela being the only one I would have been interested in for Liverpool. It must be a nightmare scouting players, particularly when trying to judge their adaptability and desire to play in a new country etc.. More so with the Latin-based players who might be steam-rollered by their clubs into a move they dont particularly want (eg the likes of Ozil or Andy Carroll lol).
Like everyone else here, ultimately I dont have a problem with spending big (on an under 26 yo) who has a great attitude and fits in with the team, the club & the country, I just hope we dont buy any expensive duds who are signing on for the wrong reasons.

It shows even spending £35/40 Million isn't guaranteed of hitting the ground running.

Ozil was out of our budget, we did go for players probably a level below that in Willian and Mk (guy who went to Dortmund), just got financially out muscled. Sanchez again similar story, Arsenal seem to have ditched their wage structure for players like him and Ozil and its hard for us to compete for the oft mentioned reasons.

We weren't financially outmuscled for Sanchez. By all accounts we offered a very good deal. He just preferred to live in London.

Started off well enough and hasn't produced what he can for a fair long spell after that, I think he'll turn it around though and the arrival of Sanchez will help with that.
David Silva didn't hit the ground running in his first season, Mata did OK but improved immensely the following season. I think creative players find it that bit harder to adjust to the English game. I'll hold off on calling him a flop until he has another season under his belt.

Is it not in out interests for people to think we got less and thus overcharge slightly less

In the end it will be undisclosed and both will claim they got more/less, no point in stressing on it

Agent Coulson

I could see Liverpool taking £63m cash lump sum over £75/80m spread over 5 years.

But it will be all spin from both teams.

Pinch of salt until it comes from the 3 or 4 reputable journalists, and even then they often differ on info e.g. Barrett and Pearce blogs the other day.

That may be true, but as none of us actually know what his release fee is (or even, in fact, if there definitely is one), it's hard to know if that's good or not.

All these figures are being thrown around, in both € and £, but no-one knows what the truth is. And it'll probably be an 'un-disclosed fee' in the end, which means in two years time there'll still be some people saying he went for €75m and some saying he went for £75m. It's like Lallana still being quoted at £25m, despite a lot of articles saying 'up to £25m'.

Sometimes you wish the clubs would just officially announce the bloody figures...
