Cunning plan to improve our attackers' nutmeg skills.

I think I would like a kiwi in the team. Definitely more than those pesky Australians.

What news of the foul marmidons?
And the sheep squeezers of splatikon 5?

Doumbia's joined Roma.

Saw that this morning. 10,8 mill.
We deserve a slap for not being after him for that fee.

With 6 strikers on our roster (including Aspas out on loan and Origi), and our FFP situation / CL participation next season still questionable, I can't say I can blame them for not trying. We've really got to get a few of the spurious strikers off the payroll next season.

Yeah, I agree. Our hands are pretty much tied after last summer.

Shame Doumbia wasnt on the list instead of Balotelli. Would have saved us a year and more transfers to get it right.

El Confidencial claims #LFC intend to bid for Asier Illarramendi in the summer.

Could be a great signing if true. Was fantastic at Real Sociedad but havent found his place in Real Madrid.

 

[Judge Jules]

Not convinced about Reid. I just get the feeling he's one of those players who's had one top season and may well not sustain that form.

 

[Hansern]

He certainly didnt increase his chances yesterday. Very average.

Lucas replacement? We'll be fighting Arsenal for him ...

Can is our lucas replacement though.

Go Liverpool Redsox!

I dunno - Can seems to be more of a Henderson player (minus stamina).

Just saw this one - one of the weirder transfers.

Alan Carvalho, Red Bulls Salzburg. He's 25 years old, the leading scorer in the Europa League (8 goals in 5 games), has 9 goals in 16 league games... and he's just moved to Guangzhou Evergrande in China for €11.1 million.

The same Chinese club paid 13.20 Mill. £ for one Ricardo Goulart (23) from Cruzeiro.

Liverpool have completed some business today...

Unfortunately for Reds' fans it's confirmation of a player leaving the club, albeit temporarily.

Youth player Rafael Paez is leaving Anfield to join Spanish club Deportivo Eibar on loan. Paez, 20, has previously been on loan at Bologna.
