Shortened versions of reports from the web ... if you want the originals then Google is your friend. Most probably bullshit but hey even the truth has to start somewhere.
Liverpool's Sports Science and Sports Medicine department has been strengthened with the arrival of new backroom staff.
Two physiotherapists from the Australian 'Socceroo' national team, Darren Burgess and Phil Coles, have joined newly appointed Head of Sports Medicine and Science Dr Peter Brukner at Melwood.
Tottenham Hotspur's club doctor, Zaf Iqubal, has also been recruited along with Jordan Milsom, who joins the backroom team as Sports Scientist.
The club will also be working with John Moores University through Sports Science Consultant Barry Drust, who will spend a couple of days at Melwood each week.

Steven Defour: Roy’s Liverpool Reign Begins with £8.5M Belgian Playmaker.
Standard’s captain Defour is reportedly in negotiations with Roy Hodgson over a move with the new Reds manager eager to seal the Belgium as his first signing at Anfield. It’s a really nice gesture but I wouldn’t want people to get the idea that I think I’m already a Manchester United player. Far from it.â€
In fact, rather than join United, it would seem Defour is more likely to join their main rivals Liverpool as Roy Hodgson looks to make his mark at Anfield with the talented playmaker seen as the ideal signing.

West Brom are reportedly keen on Liverpool striker David Ngog and are lining up a bid to take the 21-year-old on a season-long loan.
The Baggies and Blackburn have both shown an interest in the young Frenchman who only last week vowed to impress Reds boss Roy Hodgson.
However, Ngog has left the door open to a possible temporary departure from the Anfield club and the Premier League newcomers are determined to be at the front of the queue if he is made available. He said: "This season is a big season for me. "I need to be consistent, play more and score more. "We have a new manager, who is a great manager, so we have to impress him. "I am not aware of [any loan move] yet, but you never know."

Liverpool have been linked with moves for two African World Cup stars. According to givemefootball.com, the Reds have enquired about Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan at his French club Rennes. The 24 year old was impressive at the World Cup scoring three goals, despite his late penalty miss against Uruguay, but his asking may have sky rocketed to £20m because of his raised profile after the tournament in South Africa. Despite this, his scoring record at the French club is not great and has scored only 14 goals in two seasons in Ligue One.
The Reds have also been linked again with Nigeria and Marseille left back Taye Taiwo. Betfair football believes that a £8.5m from Liverpool is imminent. The 24 year old was an instrumental part of Didier Deschamps’s league winning side last season as the club won its first league title in 18 years.

Liverpool are once again being linked with a move for Valencia midfielder Ever Banega.
The Argentine international has appeared on the Anfield radar on several occasions, and now new Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is being linked with a move for the player as a potential replacement for Javier Mascherano. Financial difficulties at the club have seen several stars leave this summer, with David Villa and David Silva two high-profile examples. The situation means that any player could leave the club, should an acceptable offer be made, and Liverpool could test the water this summer with a fee in the region of £10 million.

Liverpool have rejected an initial £5million offer for Lucas Leiva from Palermo. Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing but the Serie A outfit are understood to be refusing to budge in meeting Liverpool's £8million asking price for the Brazilian midfielder.

Liverpool FC and Juventus are among a few steller names preparing to enter the UEFA Europa League fray on Friday when the draw for the third qualifying round is made in Nyon, streamed live.

Liverpool received a huge boost in their bid to hold on to Fernando Torres after the striker was pictured with a Reds scarf draped around his neck in the World Cup celebrations. Torres was spotted in the jubliant dressing room with the Liverpool scarf on his shoulders as he cradled the World Cup trophy in the aftermath of their victory over Holland in Johannesburg.

Roy Hodgson has confessed the chances of Liverpool retaining the services of Emiliano Insua are slim. Talks between the player's representatives, Liverpool and Fiorentina are said to be at an advanced stage. The Liverpool boss has confessed to being impressed with the Argentine since some of the Reds squad returned to pre-season training last week but believes he may be powerless to stop any deal. "I saw him play in the last three days and I like him both as a player and on a personal level,†Hodgson said during an interview with an Italian radio station. "I cannot say if Insua will stay at Liverpool or not. I’ll have to discuss that with the club." A fee of £5 million is likely to be put to immediate use with the capture of Wigan Athletic's Maynor Figueroa.

Rumoured departures of both Daniel Ayala and Dani Pacheco. Hopefully both Ayala and Pacheco’s rumoured moves to Spain are just loans for them to gain experience. If this is the case than I applaud the decision but in Ayala’s case, according to Skysports.com, his proposed loan move to Real Valladolid is in view to a permanent deal.
