I see suarez has been taken off the lfc players photo's at the top of the squad listings,i think he's going despite what jw henry says.
Do you chaps seriously think with this squad at the moment we can challenge for top 4??
I have serious doubts myself,brendan says we're working on deals,but he said this last summer,and not much happened,so ill be extremely anxious to see what we do in the next 3 weeks.
This is the biggest season i can recall in my lifetime,it's make or break time for liverpool football club,i hope we don't flatter to decieve once again.

TERM.

He's waiting til he has the money from the Downing and Spearing sales. Whoever he gets in will be cheap and happy to accept the sub-standard contracts FSG are so keen on. The 'right kind of quality' wouldn't be interested.

I'm guessing we got about 3m for Spearing and potentially 6m for Downing.

Now, the wages of Stewart, Pepe would be a few million as well.

New keeper is already in place so he should have around £10m plus any extra from owners pockets.

Think the only extra ££££'s he's gonna get is from the suarez sale.

Supposed to be £1.75m rap,will get about £7-8m from the sale of those two.
I'm still waiting for the "marquee signings".
Season starts on saturday.

Players like Coutinho and Sturridge have accepted what FSG have to offer. Were they not the "right type of quality" They both look like very good players to me.

Perhaps you would prefer we throw hundreds of thousands a week at the likes of Joe Cole.

We ideally need another signing or two before the villa game but we definitely need to have all our signings done well before the Utd game so they can bed in.

Coutinho's definitely the type of quality we should be looking at. It's lucky no one else was in for him at the time.
Not 100% convinced on Sturridge yet, but he's definitely made a good start.
As far this summer - well, Norwich and Cardiff have outspent us so far, so I assume we're pretty much skint until we can move Suarez on.

I think Alberto is a similar sort of purchase. From what I've seen from him he looks like a good player. Good technical player, with an eye for a pass. He also has the ability to get goals. Maybe not as skilful as Coutinho.

I also think Aspas has been a pretty good buy. He's had a good pre season. If he can take that into the season then he'll score a few and create a few.

I think both are clever buys. Not too expensive and add some depth to the team.

FatJan.

Hopefully Alberto and Aspas will turn out to be astute signings. I don't want to judge them until they've had a few months to settle in.

Ah, so it's lucky no one else was in for him? Funny how you look at it that way, as oppose to the club actually identifying him and moving in quicker than anyone else and having better judgement than anyone else.

Pretty much sums you up SL....
