Wow, I'd heard the quotes before but never saw the video where John Henry admits there was a 40mill buy out clause in Suarez' contract last summer! Really starting to like our owners and the cut of their jib!!

We should get the Liverpool medical team over here to run the HSE, the amount of players they are managing to go through in the last few days

Must have agreed a fee then. The Southampton takeover continues!

Himself, Moreno, Remy and Origi will be very fatigued for the upcoming season, between the World Cup for some of them and the daily medicals they've all had over the last few weeks.

Fee for Lovren being reported as £20m. Too much, but better overpay by £4-5m than miss out.

If Luiz is worth 50 then Lovrens a bargain, anyway there a dearth of good centre halves available so the market dictates a higher price.

Kind of strange we're playing hardball with Sevilla considering we're so generous to Southampton.

Ah yeah, waste of money. Sure did you not see Can play fairly well in a friendly the other day? Don't need Vidal.

I reckon we should be since we're taking so much of their team.

Still, they are the ones who are sellin'.

Ah here some of those goals are actually outrageous. Against arsenal and villa especially were superb.
Lot of linking up with Sterling in that footage too, hopefully that becomes a big partnership for us

His goal against Stoke is one of my favourites. That goal is borne out of pure desire, not just technical ability.

Sappy404

Personally I think it's great that, Moreno aside, we seem to be getting our primary targets since Sanchez went to Arsenal.

Cjs21

Lovren, Remy and Origi looking as good as done, all three are great to have in the squad and the 1st 2 are very strong possible 1st team players.

Very good business this summer, very promising players and the loaning out BR is doing is fantastic.

Let's hope that's not the end of it.

I'd be fairly certain it's a combination of both football reasons and location. Unless you have direct quotes from Sanchez to back up your theory which you present as "fact"

I don't have time to search the whole thread but i did read posts from people backtracking on Sanchez, here is one i found:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=91138812&postcount=3831

Correct me if I'm wrong here, I'm too lazy to actualy check, but isnt that post from BEFORE Sanchez was actualy confirmed as an Arsenal player?? If so it's a terrible example. If not, I'm wrong, ignore me and carry on....

Raif Severance

If Lovren comes in, I think we should Change our Name to Liverhampton.

In all Seriousness, why do I get the Feeling that if Jay Rodriguez didn't get Injured, he would be one of our Targets as well. Anyone else feels the same?

All these players lined up for medicals. Are the doctors on strike or what?

That's not backtracking, i believe the statement was that AC did not see one Liverpool fan backtrack. Rawk was full of backtracking fans, the thread went into meltdown over there. I don't know if i'm allowed to link to the RAWK Sanchez thread here but it's not hard to find and the attitude change after the arsenal announcement was hilarious

The statement was not specific to fans in this forum but fans in general.

Of course that is backtracking!! All you did was point out some posters, alot of whom were probably just allowed post in this thread for the world cup, said they weren't too pushed about missing out on Sanchez.

For it to be back tracking you would first need to show us where those paticular posters said they would love Sanchez in the first place, then you would expose them as backtrackers, then and only then. Just because some posters said they would love Sanchez and then a different group of posters said they weren't bothered does not a backtracker make.

Plus why are you all of a sudden quoting a different website to back up your claims. Go tell those people, why would any of us on here care what other Liverpool fans are doing when all you're doing is trying to hold that thing against every Liverpool fan!! Shame on you sir!!

Wasn't Southampton bought a few years back for £15m or something?

Sign up their recruitment team!

Wait a second, you're a Utd fan aren't you?? What about all that verbal diarrhea Fergie spouted all over the Old Trafford pitch last summer after his retirement about being the best club in the world with the best fans in the world and asking the whole club to get behind and support their new manager blah blah blah....Hilarious stuff really when you consider what actualy transpired. :eek:

I could make arguments for Lovren, Lallana and Lambert (as a squad player).

I'd be furious if we signed Rodriquez.

Agreed. I've seen that "It'd be cheaper just to buy Southampton!" joke enough as is.

Will Lovern start do people reckon?

Rodgers seems to have a ' your place to lose' policy, I'd be a surprised to see him starting at the start of the season since Skertle played decent last season and Sakho had a good world cup. I'd be cautious about putting him into my ff team straight away.

Agger surely gone so?

Eh, was a couple of hours behind the thread and was posting replies as I read posts. Then I realised further on that no one cared and it was a pointless argument, but it was too late by then. Still, the way that guy quoted posters I don't even recognise to prove some point about 'all liverpool fans' really irked me. Struck me as desperate and quite pathetic and it needed pointing out!

Lovren and Sakho should be our first choice partnership.

If he's been signed as the defensive leader, as many people re saying, it will be Lovren plus one of Skrtel or Sakho.

To be honest, I wouldn't be putting too many Liverpool defenders in your fantasy football team.

osnola ibax

On Lambert, he is more than a squad player imo, he's going to start a hell of a lot of games. He has to, we have three out and out strikers and at least 6 extra games.

Considering we didn't do well in the other cup competitions that will surely end up in more games aswell. I consider him a first team striker and I'm not sure he's good enough, delighted with Remy though, he's a 20 goal man, given the chances we create.

Fescue

According to Tony Evans, the club don't fancy Mignolet at all.

Whether you want to believe it or not, they don't fancy Mingolet. Doesn't talk, doesn't direct defence, doesn't dominate area, slow off line

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.

Sappy404

Tony Evans (Times football editor) reckons Reina is the best out of the 3 keepers in training today, and then said "Whether you want to believe it or not, they don't fancy Mingolet. Doesn't talk, doesn't direct defence, doesn't dominate area, slow off line"

What odds Reina starts season between the posts?

Kess73

So close on the 16th June

Southampton away on opening day. Lallana and Lovern to play against their old club.

Might as well go again.

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

I think he's the best overall keeper at the club. Mignolet has been a major disappointment.

I would tend to agree, but if he is training better than Mig then he has to be considered

I'm not so sure. We've seen Rodgers bring players back in from the cold before.

I wonder will Reina be staying after all.

Can understand the criticism of Mignolet but he was still an improvement on Reina's last two seasons at the club. Maybe Pepe just needs some stiff competition though I don't really like not having a clear number one.

Will be a bit awkward if he does stay after that dodgy farewell letter.

A couple of decent saves and that will soon be forgotten.

The way we play, his ability on the ball would be an outstanding asset.

In fairness i'd expect Reina to be the best out of himself, Brad Jones and Danny Ward.

With Reina in goal and his good distribution, there be no need for Gerrard and his long range passing.

Tony Evans seeks attention and stockpiles bitterness.

Wouldn't pay much attention to him

Chardee MacDennis

With Drogba back at Chelsea would you take Nando back if he was valued under 10m?

I know it's madness but it's just a thought...

Edit: or on loan?

No, we don't need him. Don't particularly want him either.

Charlie19

Regarding those points that Evans made about Mig, Why would we buy a keeper that has such poor attributes, think its just Evans opinion. I dont think Mig is that bad actually, I've often noticed him shouting orders at the defenders but he could work on set pieces and be more dominant in his area.

googled eyes

So Tony Evans says that Reina is the best reserve keeper we have and bigs up one of Rafa's old guard.

Suddenly Mignolet is a sh!t keeper and we're looking for 'options' ?


I think the heat is getting to people
