Heh ... very good.

I don't think he'll be quite the hit his talent deserves. Skills are probably a little too subtle for the American audience.

I can't wait to to go to the Yankee stadium to see Xavi play. That would be awesome.

Who knows, maybe Gerrard or Xabi one day too.

Why?

We had scouted this guy already in the summer, and if we were that interested - why did we wait until we knew another club was seriously interested to get him?

I don't think I've watched him ever - so I don't know what we're missing out on (For better or worse), but it just seems like we weren't that interested to begin with but have missed our primary target again, so we started pushing for him.
 
The Jorghino and Badu links arent worth listneing to imho.

Hopefully we'll pull off Reges or M'Vila
 
Although the manager could not provide news of imminent transfer dealings on Thursday, Brendan Rodgers insisted that 'a lot of good work' is ongoing to strengthen the options available at Liverpool.

The current transfer window has been remarkably quiet since opening at the beginning of January for a month-long period, with a lack of activity throughout the Barclays Premier League to date.
Rodgers has yet to conclude any pieces of business, but the Northern Irishman reassured supporters today that he and his recruitment team are assessing any potential opportunities for the club.
"There are no real developments yet," the boss told reporters at his pre-Aston Villa press conference.
"You see across the markets, clubs are just looking and seeing where they can improve. It's similar to ourselves.
"We've been working over a number of months on possibilities that could strengthen the team. We just need to wait and see how that goes in the next couple of weeks.
"The owners have been great in terms of if there's something there to be done that will help us and improve us, I'm sure they'll support that. It's one where it could be a difficult market to improve in.
"But it certainly won't be for the want of trying. There's a lot of good work going on; we're assessing a whole raft of players. It's just whether they are going to be available for us to bring in now."

Xavi Hernandez has dismissed speculation that he could be set to leave Barcelona for one of the two New York-based MLS clubs.

On the cusp of his 700th senior competitive appearance for Barca, as well as his 34th birthday, Xavi has been linked with a summer move to either the new Manchester City-linked franchise New York City, or New York Red Bulls, where he could join up with his former Blaugrana teammate Thierry Henry.

Sources have told ESPN that the Red Bulls made an enquiry about the veteran midfielder, while Manchester City dismissed the link to their nascent Stateside venture as speculation.

However, the Spain international told Mundo Deportivo that he has not spoken to anyone about moving to the Big Apple.

“Nobody has made me any proposition,” he said. “I know nothing else about New York apart from that it is very cold there. Henry has not called me, nor have I spoken with him. I do not have his telephone number.”

From what Rodgers is saying it sounds like nothing will actually happen this window .. from that statement above I'd be surprised it we sign anyone at all. And that's not good if CFC and MC are strengthening.
 
Loads were saying we wouldn't have any money last Jan.

I believe what Rodgers is saying, if the right players are there we will go for it, We were going to shell out a fortune on Willian if he was up for it.
 
According to Spanish media Moreno is close to joining Real.
Wouldnt mind Contreao if he was avaliable on the cheap.
 
Tello looking poor in Barca's cup game right now. Looks to have "Shelvey syndrome" – doesn't think quickly enough. Often times when he needs to make a split-second decision, he gets it wrong – or his technique or touch deserts him.
 
People were raving about him, but he's mainly bollocks. He shows flashes of brilliance but mainly he's rubbish. Barca would sell him in a blink if the right money came in, and they rate Pedro much much more.
 
A host of Premier League clubs are facing disappointment in their efforts to sign Thomas Ince as Monaco have emerged as favourites to recruit Blackpool’s England Under-21 midfielder on a free transfer.
Ince is a free agent this summer and has been courting attention from several top-flight clubs, but a move to the Ligue 1 is a serious option for the 21-year-old. He has already rejected an £8 million move to Cardiff City, knowing he has numerous other options, especially as there will be no transfer fee should he wait until the end of the season.
Blackpool could have cashed in on Ince a year ago when they rejected a £5 million offer from his first club, Liverpool, although both clubs will now lose out financially should Ince wait for a Bosman deal.
As part of their sale to Blackpool in 2011, Liverpool negotiated a 35 per cent sell-on clause. It now looks likely there will be no fee.
When Cardiff agreed to pay £8 million it would have equated to £2.8 million for the Merseyside club. Ince rejected that move, however, and Monaco are understood to have stepped up their efforts to lure him away from English football.
Ince’s performances for club and country have made a move from Bloomfield Road inevitable.
Monaco have assembled a superstar squad since the takeover of Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev. He has signed players such as Radamel Falcao in an effort to bring back the halcyon days of the 1980s, when Glenn Hoddle and Mark Hateley were among their high-profile imports.
Everton and Swansea have also been monitoring Ince’s position.
His father and manager, Paul, has to balance the needs of his club – who will want the best price they can get by selling during this transfer window – and those of his team and son.

Bit of a strange situation . Surely a club like blackpool need to make a profit on the likes of Ince yet their manager (his dad obviously) is probably advising him to leave on a free and get a decent pay day .

Pity we might not get some money either .
 
I have wanted Xerdan Shaqiri and Antoine Greizmann for fucking years.
If we could sign ONE of them that would be amazing.
Kthxbye.
 
im not really bothered if we dont sign anyone tbh, i dont want us to sign anyone that wont really imrpove the first team, if we cant get them thers no point getting squad players

Yeah. If we can't get quality that will be a big part of the squad next season, then there is no point splurging. I'd like a quality FB and an attacking player and a central midfielder – we won'tt get all that but the important thing is that they're good enough.
 
Well the flip side of this is that if we get Champions League football and therefore have to sign a fair few players to have a big enough squad to cope (and finish in the top four again next season), signing them all in the summer runs the risk of us doing a spurs and not being able to integrate them all.

But that said we shouldn't be signing people for the sake of it. I hope we can bring in a couple of players this window.
