    Falcao maybe?

    Well Real are said to be interested in a loan deal for the guy. Could a hefty cash offer turn Monaco and Falcao's head. Worth a punt. I think Falcao would get through the medical.

    I'm genuinely shocked that anyone here would think that LFC would needlessly undermine a players reputation to get out of a deal.

    There were some murmurings that Borini's decision to stay caused them to pull the plug.

    I'd be inclined to believe that the doubts about his injury are the real reason though

    Most probably you are right but say someone like Falcao was suddenly a possibility. Remy's heart problem would give Liverpool the perfect exit plan.

    We have about as much chance of signing Falcao as we did/do of signing Reus, Vidal or Kroos.

    A very high chance.

    Think that's Milwall's territory you're encroaching there.

    Großkreutz at Dortmund is still pining for a move to LFC. Kicker have an interview with him tomorrow and he mentions going back training early to be ready for the Liverpool friendly as otherwise who knows whether he will ever be at Anfield Road again.

    I must say it was great seeing Jose Enrique back last night. Saw what he offers defensively last night. We could have done with him last season.

    Did he do many pirouettes?

    Is that the guy who got the tattoo of the World Cup on his back despite never playing a game for Germany at the World Cup?

    Mostly irrelevant baseball update:

    Red Sox are busy this week clearing house (won the World Series last year but dead last in the division this year so cutting their losses). Already got rid of a starting pitcher and rumours they'll trade their ace in next day or so.

    Have no idea what involvement in Liverpool's transfers FSG have, but with the week in it (MLB trade deadline is July 31st), I reckon the focus is on the Red Sox until Friday money-wise.

    As I say, probably irrelevant but I've been following the trade activity this week and thought I'd mention in here

    FSG aren't giving us money anymore for transfers, Liverpool must generate it's own money for transfers. If I remember right.

    Okay to get a bit serious, teams have shown you can compete while being a bit thin up top by having an exciting array of midfield talent, while I'm sure LFC will be in for another striker can a case be made for basing the attack on the line behind the striker rather than using those players to feed a striker (as was the case with Torres at Liverpool).

    Or could an existing AM be turned into a second striker? It wouldn't take a big leap to imagine Sterling or Markovic playing off Sturridge or Lambert.

    I was thinking Sterling could be moved into the Striker role.

    He has the talent to play anywhere across the front.

    He would be a handy player for ye, hasnt he said numerous times Liverpool and Dortmund were the teams he grew up wanting to play for

    I assume there's a sign off on spending it though?

    That would be down to Ian Ayre I would guess as CEO if the budget is there for spending.

    27m is a lot of money for Schneiderlin if the fee is as reported

    For any team. In this case, Spurs

    Whilst everyone has sympathy for Southampton, if Koeman is given a fair wedge of what has came so far he'll have some suitcase of cash at his disposal.

    That time he scored a rake of goals for some England youth team he was a central striker i think wasn't he?

    27 million for Schneiderlin is madness. As good as he is, he isn't in that bracket...yet.

    At this rate Southampton won't be able to field a team at Anfield

    Mark Hughes still interested in signing Assaidi. Says its an ongoing process and the desire to sign him remains.
    Not sure if the main hold up is the £7m fee or wages
    Either way it'll most likely get done.
