Thought he was still under contract until June? Read that Spurs were still paying him 100k a week.

Probably still paying him but released according to this.
Presentably in the hope he'd sign elsewhere and they could stop paying him.

Texeira does his hamstring hours after we make a bid. He's only had 1 injury in the last 8 years it seems.

Xenji

Looking for a bit of assistance, my uncle bought tickets off of www.ticketbis.com for the Stoke game on Tuesday, no sign of the tickets nor can he get in contact with them, it looks to me like a scam, has anyone else used them?

Also does anyone know of any sites, reliable sites that would have tickets for the match, any help would be much appreciated.

Apparently it's not too serious. Sounds more like a strain so he was rested.

Quick, someone put in a bid for Nathan Redmond :pac:

Boards hamstrings must still be tight after it injury it's moving so slowly at the moment.

Hopefully it doesn't do a Sturridge and break down every 4.6

Every 4.6 what? I'm dying to find out.

More than likely he's been scammed. He'll be very lucky to see the money or the tickets.

You can still get hospitality tickets here: http://hospitality.liverpoolfc.com/

Theres plenty of legit authorised resellers out there. I've used Champions Travel in the past too: http://www.champions-travel.com/products/1545-liverpool-vs-stoke-city.aspx

Inaki Williams who we were linked with earlier in the week signed a new contract with a €50m buyout clause.

We get linked to every half-decent young player in Europe with his deal up for negotiation it seems.

My word. Are we really in for Teixeira? He's a cracking player. Too good for us id have thought.can definitely get behind that. Also happy we're not actually signing Pato.

His buyout clause is neither relevant to clubs outside Spain, nor does it mean those inside Spain have to spend that amount to sign him.

Can you tell us more about him, in terms of strengths?

Where do you think he would line up if we were to sign him? Would he be the main man up top as a number 9 or would he be a replacement for the likes of Lallana in one of the wide roles?

Assume he's not a 10 as we are well stocked here.

Do you think he has the potential to be a Torres or Suarez and really become one of Europe's top players at Liverpool?

Considering all the reliable tweeted the same info about the same time today I would imagine we will most certainly be in for him, I assume it's a signing klopp wants so hopefully the club don't dissapoint him on that.

In the way Firmino is?

I'd say it might be more aimed at Lallana or possibly Milner. Both have had decent runs in the team but not shown a lot beyond running and pressing a lot. Ings can do that if needed, Firmino too but with assists, goals and creating chances as well, Coutinho as well.

I'd say Klopp has copped about Lallana by now, players who run and press a lot will be the minimum expected in a Klopp team in a years time. Henderson, Can, Moreno, Ings, Firmino, Coutinho and some others. We need players who can do something with the ball when they win it back and Lallana in particular is lacking there.

On Teixeira, with Chelsea seemingly not interested that gives us a right chance, they'll probably have no CL either. I expect we'll still be pulling our hair out on deadline day wondering who fecked it up.

..waves to everyone still not able to log in

Regarding last nights game (FA Cup replay), great to see the side full of youth products playing a better style of game than the seniors manage - lots of confidence throughout that side except of course for the £32.5m striker who must be thankful he did at least get a direct assist and was influential for the first goal as well. I doubt he'd have slept well otherwise. Flanno was really sharp for someone out so long, Ojo's goal was very slick, Brad Smith really looks like he should be the alternative on the left for the medium term. The midfield had such control (take a bow Welsh Pirlo) even Boggers would have looked good last night.

I see Teixieira and Litvinenko are trending on Twitter.

Does this mean Ayre is trying to sign both?

We should pay £35,000,001 for Teixeira just to make him our new record signing and stop it being Andy Carroll. Even if they will accept less, we should pay that.

Dom king is saying shaktar want 30 million pounds and liverpool would be willing to match it. Is he a spoofer ?

If true, they should get the deal wrapped up at that price.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jan/21/liverpool-alex-teixeira-deal-shakhtar-donetsk

Liverpool will hold further talks with Shakhtar Donetsk over the signing of Alex Teixeira after submitting an initial €32m (£24.6m) bid for the Brazilian forward.

A Liverpool delegation led by the chief executive, Ian Ayre, met their Ukrainian counterparts this week in Orlando, where Shakhtar are competing in the Florida Cup, having identified the 26-year-old as the player to rejuvenate Jürgen Klopp’s struggling attack. Ayre and company returned to Britain on Thursday without a deal but Shakhtar are willing to continue negotiations during this transfer window.

The clubs are far apart in their valuation of Teixeira with the Shakhtar owner, Rinat Akhmetov, seeking €50m for a forward who has scored 22 goals in 15 league games this season plus three in six Champions League matches. Liverpool have scored only 25 goals in 22 Premier League games.

An added complication is Shakhtar’s reluctance to sell in January but the player is keen on a move to the Premier League and Liverpool will again test his employer’s resolve over the coming days.

This will drag out and someone else will sign him. If they are looking for £39m, £24m is never going to be enough. Hasn't ayre learned they are dealing with billionaires who have no need to sell.

Willian,mkhataryan and Douglas Costa have shown these players are usually well worth the money they go for too.

The moon does rotate on its own axis, it has a synchronous rotation to the earth, it takes 27 days for it to rotate on its axis, so as the original poster says 4.6 moon rotations = 124 days per injury......checks out IMO.

Umaro

Just spend the bloody money. Hasn't the messing with Willian, Mkhitaryan, Konoplyanka, etc taught us anything.. We'll recoup it in the summer when we offload the players Klopp doesn't rate.

We should be adding 1 new first team player in each window. This is the only way we'll close the skill gap to the Top 4.

rob316

Great goal from Markovic the other night, won the game for Fener in the 90th minute, hope we get him back in the summer. Id rather a manager who doesnt play him at wingback got the chance to run the rule over him first before deciding he has no future at LFC.

Grayditch

I wonder who he'll end up going to. London is so attractive.

If you like rats.

And rat people.

Grayditch

Only joking. London is great and I love when I simple have to go there and can't get out of it.
