    What do we make of Lovren then?

    Fee seems highish but I'm pretty happy with the signing and it's not like we're short of cash. Don't know a lot about him but seemingly had a very good season.

    25 seems a good age to sign a centre back, should have his best years in front of him and should also be ready to play straight away. With Sahko at a similar age, if they click then we could be talking about the centre-back positions being set for the best part of 10 years...


    For those who know more about him - what qualities will he bring? Is he a lefty or a righty?

    Might as well go again.

    Moreno and Vidal to sign after before the season starts , and to get drawn against Barca and PSG in the CL. :P

    FYP Kess ;)

    What I see is a commanding International CB who can score goals and has already settled into the PL who is a natural right footed player who is as comfortable on the left as he is the right.

    Again I wouldn't believe everything we see in the price we paid £18m for Sakho if Lovren is £2m more so be it with luck they will be our starting CB pairing for the next 5/6 seasons and both together cost less than one David Luiz.

    If you haven't gotten over Fernando Torres after the season we've just had, I don't think you ever will. It's bewildering that some are still pining for him.

    What's next - we should play Johnson in midfield? Pacheco never got a chance?

    I still can't believe Richie Partridge never made it here! He was set for stardom in so many Champ managers. :D

    I find it hard to argue with any of the above. I think a better option in goal is as important as left back this season.

    I bet you we re-sign Doni and play him as a false no.1

    You'd think that is the kind of thing they'd have known before they signed him.
    Reina can **** off.

    I find it very hard to believe that they are just gonna give up on Mignolet for Reina at this point. Unless Reina has absolutely no suiters I would be very surprised to see him here next year. Mignolet did have one or two shockers throughout the season but he showed more than enough in his first season with us imo to be given at least another season in between the sticks. Reina's ability on the ball would be an asset given how we play but the powers that be knew this last season also and still chose to replace him. Would be an expensive mistake if they ditch him for Reina now.

    I'm sure they fancied Iago Aspas, Luis Alberto and Ossama Assaidi before they signed them too.

    Delighted with the lovren deal. I didn't see much of him at Lyon but he came to England with a pretty good reputation and his season with Southampton has only enhanced that. He's very experienced for his age, should be near his peak and we should get six or seven good seasons out of him at least before age becomes an issue. 20m isn't even that much in todays market, it's not like days of old where 20m+ transfer fees were reserved for the very biggest signings

    I never understand the Alberto hate, he's only 21. He seems decent, just needs more games to grow. Assaidi and aspas are both mid 20's and should be in their prime.

    I don't have hate for the chap as such but I think it was very evident very quickly he isn't of the required standard. I don't see him dislodging Coutinho, Markovic, Lallana, Sterling et al.

    According to Tony Evans , China were set to buy Liverpool.
    However he got this monumental error on the front page of the Times, he has been 100% bitter towards anything to do with the club since (and yes I know he is supposed to be a "top top Red")

    So its Lallana, Can, Lovren, Lambert, Remy, Markovic, Origi, Manquillo are either close or done?

    Add in Moreno or a LB and thats our business done and our squad set it would seem. Adding 9 players to the squad is mental though, maybe needed for the long term but not sure how that will work out for us.

    Pretty much, he's having a medical. I think we can start talking about him as our player

    Why is Lovren having a medical in Liverpool and Origi and Remy had their 10 (in total) in Boston?
