According to Rurikbirds summer summary thread, we have knocked about £9.3m off this years salary note, after a £18.3m net spend, thus leaving our spend by the end of the season at about £9m, which would be quite miserable for LFC, so I'm still hoping for someone that improves our midfield.
From today's Echo:
Rumour One
Liverpool have got the green light to sign Yann M’Vila after the midfielder’s agent admitted he is keen on a move to the Premier League. Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is known to rate M’Vila highly, and he has been receiving glowing scouting reports on his performances for Rubin Kazan this season. And amid growing rumours that Liverpool are now ready to make a bid for the France international, his agent has revealed that M’Vila is desperate to play in England.
‘I think many players dream of playing in the Premier League – Yann is no different,’ said Werner Baader.
‘I will not deny there is interest from many European clubs, including English teams. ‘We will see what happens.’ M’Vila, who was previously a target for Arsenal, is believed to favour a transfer to Liverpool over any other club.
Rumour Two
Liverpool have been linked with £10m Genoa right back Sime Vrsaljko.
Reports in Italy suggesting Rodgers is impressed with his versatility, with the 21-year-old comfortable in playing all the way across the back line.
Rumour Three
Serie A outfit Udinese want to sign out-of-favour Liverpool front man Fabio Borini to replace veteran striker Antonio Di Natale at the Stadio Friuli next season.
The Italy international was Reds head coach Brendan Rodgers’s first-ever signing after taking over from previous manager Kenny Dalglish in the Anfield hot seat in the summer of 2012, with the Northern Irishman splashing out £10.5m in order to land Borini from Serie A giants AS Roma on a five-year deal.
However, it is fair to say that in the intervening 18 months on Merseyside, the striker has found it desperately hard to win a regular starting place up front for the Reds, with both a plethora of untimely and lengthy injury layoffs and a loss of confidence in front of goal contributing to Rodgers’s decision to loan the 22-year-old out to Sunderland for this campaign on transfer deadline day last September.
But with just three goals and one assist to his name in total in all competitions for the struggling Black Cats, Borini’s luck in front of goal has not changed and now with Udinese offering both the player and Liverpool an escape route, the Italian looks like having played his final game for the club.
Rumour Four
Valencia are poised to make a short-term loan move for Liverpool striker Iago Aspas, according to BeIN Sports Italia.
The 26-year-old has struggled to settle on Merseyside since his big-money move from Celta Vigo last summer and the Spanish giants have contacted the Reds over his availability.
Aspas, who netted 12 times in La Liga last season, struck his first goal for Liverpool in their recent FA Cup win against Oldham at Anfield.
Rumour Five
Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has said that he is ignoring speculation linking him with a move away from Anfield.
Italian side Napoli, coached by former Reds boss Rafael Benitez, have reportedly made an enquiry about the Danish international, who arrived in Merseyside from Brondby in 2006.
The 29-year-old centre-back has been restricted to 12 appearances in all competitions this season, but he said that he has been unlucky with injuries and is not looking to leave the club.
"I can't do anything about the rumours, but there is no point spending any time on them," The Mirrorquotes him as saying.
"I'm not thinking about moving, not at all. There is no reason to believe the rumours. I have been out of the team at times this season, but I have been unlucky.
"Before one game, I suffered a stomach injury; and another I got ill the night before, and I would have played both times. So at times you are a bit unlucky, but that's what happens when you are injured and the team plays well - when the team is doing well it becomes difficult."
Barcelona are also reported to be long-term admirers of Agger.

It's so bad it's good? *awkward silence*
Does anybody else remember Cochyn's Mascher song? It consisted of artfully attaching -o to the end of words in a way that made you think it could have been composed by Tom Bombadil.
When Mascher scores a goal-o
kind of thing. Now *that* was so bad it was good.

I can't say I remember it unfortunately 🙁 there has been some shockers down the line. I can't remember for the life of me who suggested this, but it was years ago, and they're long gone, but someone suggested that the crowd made certain noises together when certain things happened, like a laser noise or something when there was a tackle and the crowd would shout out "defenders" whenever we cleared the ball. It's was embarrassingly awful, but hilarious thinking back, I have no idea if anyone would remember that from my vague description.
If it's in Tuttomercato you can trust it. That's what I always say.
(What the fuck is Tuttomercato?)
Seconded!
I don't know, according to Everton fans last year he is better than Suarez.
On the subject of M'Vila, is he friends with Sakho by any chance? Perhaps that would make us more attractive a prospect if so. Though then we'd have two French troublemakers on our books.
Ha ha ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa
Impressed by their training ground? I used to live about half a mile from it and it's not that special!
We haven't signed anyone! Panic everybody, panic!
