oh yea like we had secrecy last year with barry? or the year before with torres? or secrecy with reina, pennant, masch, yossi, skertel, agger?
the only ones that really weren't public knowledge was babel and arbeloa
oh there is plenty going on with signings right now.
i thought that rafa wanted to be in charge so the signings could be done quickly or have i made that up?

You are so fucking dull and one paced its untrue.
Rafa wanted better communication and quicker action so that decisions could be executed faster to ensure more success. That's got nothing to do with when during a window the action takes place.
Not only are we nowhere near halfway through the silly season yet, much like when Chelsea got the chequebook out a few years back, we are seing the same reactive window occuring this year. Any proposed Liverpool purchase halfway useful to these other clubs will be presented by the agent of the player involved, the selling club etc. to Man City/Chelsea in an effort to drive up the price, and Man City will inflate the market, until they get their purchases in.

of course it does - and how does what you've just said relate to silva that rafa met last week?

Alright, so what you are saying, for instance, is that if we brought in a left winger late on in the transfer season, thus making Babel even more surplus to requirements, any purchase by any other club of Babel would represent them moving slowly in the transfer market, even if they did so the second after we brought the new winger in?
The transfer market is a fluid situation, you need to be able to act quickly on opportunities that present themselves, from the first to the last day.
