Haha Pogba and De Bruyne. Be hilarious to see Sterling and Delph get that reality check.

Where you see this?Pogba odds where 4/5 and now 5/2 with skybet so looks less unlikely as the days go by.

Reports on Bluemoon forum that talks are pushing forward as Sheikh Mansour is personally very keen to sign him aswell as De Bruyne.

Dzeko likely to go to Juve as part of deal.

West Ham have signed Manuel Lanzini on loan.

Don't know who he is, only posting it because the BBC update page had this on it:

The 22-year-old came through the same River Plate youth system that produced the likes of Alfredo Di Stefano and is nicknamed "The Jewel".

Anybody else think this is a weird thing to mention? Sure, River Plate developed Di Stefano but that was over 70 years ago. I really doubt it's the same youth system that produced him. The coaches have died and the system has been upgraded (you'd hope) and if it hasn't been upgraded, well, it's not exactly a badge of honour that a youth system is stuck in the 1940's.

Either way Sterling will start..

Very nice of Barca to let all these wonderkids go :pac:

Munir, Halilovic, Montoya, Samper among others are all future stars.

There's absolutely no way that's going to happen. Juve have Morata, Dybala, Mandzukic, Zaza, Llorente and Coman to play up front.

I don't think Pogba will be sold this summer, but we'll wait and see. Everything Marotta has said has indicated he's not for sale. He supposedly rejected Barca's bids earlier in the summer. The only thing that could force a move is if Pogba demands to leave. I can't see that happening for City when it didn't for Barca.

Lukker- · 22-07-2015 04:44PM

No chance Pogba is going to City this season.

Either him or Goetze. Draxler is looking more likely.

Corholio · 22-07-2015 07:36PM

Watford sign Jurado from Spartak and Britos from Napoli. Building a pretty good squad there now.

Pinturicchio · 22-07-2015 07:42PM

Britos is terrible.

Benteke to Pool confirmed.

Genuinely think it's a great buy, and will be very interested to see how he does.

Fair play to him signing whilst in the middle of painting his ceilings.

Boro hoping to sign Jordon Rhodes for 14m lol

Benteke is a god player but i cant help but feel he wont do well in a Rodgers team.

He is a good mid table player who likes direct quick play, I'm sure he will score for Liverpool but not sure Rogers style of keeping the ball at all costs will suit him that well

Keeping the ball at all costs was 3 seasons ago in Rodgers first year.

Stats show 55% average possession for 12/13 and 54% for 13/14 and 52% 14/15 so a drop but not a huge drop.

I didn't watch that many pool games last year but the ones I did see didn't look like a lot of direct play.

Benteke is good player just not sure he is what Liverpool need.

There wasn't any real style from us last season due to playing with a sicknote, 2 static strikers like Balotelli and Lambert and a headless chicken Borini running around.

Rodgers will have torn up the playbook and burned it this season, you will see a much more direct style this season, but not launching balls from deep onto Benteke's head.

He will make the long ball stick when played into him or win headers for someone to feed off but for scoring he likes quick direct ball, will be interesting to see how they utilize him, if Milner is playing wide he could certainly deliver the kind of ball Benteke likes.

Wonder why they mentioned di Stefano when I'm pretty sure more people would remember Crespo who I think was a product of their youth academy. Certainly got his debut with them anyway

Gavlor · 23-07-2015 11:43AM

Benteke is a great signing for liverpool, they'll create plenty of chances for him and he'll give an outlet that has been missing (think Ricky lambert with pace, skill and ability).

It would make me wonder about sturridge though, are they writing him off a bit?

Liverpool were incredibly quick and direct 2 seasons ago when they nearly won the league. Arsing about on the ball wasn't the aim at all.

The aim of the last 2 seasons has been get the ball to the forwards as quick as possible, only they were bone useless last season.

Any striker that keeps company with these names, I'm extremely excited to see what he can do at Liverpool.
