Any news on Cole?
Still linked with West Ham.
Adams position.
haha...
Used as a midfield fulcrum, Sahin was perhaps the most critical piece to the jigsaw puzzle that was Jurgen Klopp’s tactical system. He was entrusted with the role of following the ball around the pitch, offering unparalleled control and distribution, as well as a fair amount of ball-winning skill and creativity in the attacking half. Having come of age in a matter of weeks, Sahin accepted responsibility as the conductor of BVB’s orchestra. With him in charge, Dortmund earned a commanding lead in the Bundesliga standings, one the club would not relinquish before season’s end.
In terms of attributes, Sahin can most closely be compared with Xavi and Cesc Fabregas. His immaculate feel for the ball and ingenious possession play - knowing where to pass and where to run, even in a crowded midfield - are his most eye-catching attributes. Based on playing style, he looks much like a graduate of Barcelona's cantera.
However, Sahin is distinct from his Spanish counterparts due to the way he has been coached. At Dortmund, Klopp molded the unrefined Sahin into his ideal ball-playing defensive midfielder. Last year, the 22-year-old had a new sense of tactical discipline, and ran harder than ever before. The rationale was quite simple. A player of his skill in possession should be near the ball at all times, be it in attacking or defending areas, wide or in the center.

The longer version of "Adam's position".
Anyway Chuck is being linked with Fulham again. Reported by the Daily Mail.
I'm happy that Rodgers still thinks the squad is inadequate.
I don't see the point in bringing in Sahin unless Gerrard is given the right wing role. Or it might just be to strengthen squad.
The Tello link makes much more sense but he usually plays on the left for Barca.
Then there's Dempsey, who I guess will be Surez and Borini's back up.
I have to admit that if we manage to get these three players we might just have a top 4 squad.
But I believe Adam and Caroll need to leave before we can finance these deals.

If Agger goes, we need a defender. The clock is ticking and we got a good thing going. Don't see why Rodgers is willing to throw a monkey wrench into the works.
I think from all the reports the defender to replace Agger is lined up - it will be that Diego guy for 9M. I have a feeling it will work out like the following:
Agger to leave - money coming in will finance new defender Diego for £9M, plus we end up with that guy Adam Johnson as part of the Agger deal as I don't think City will pay in excess of £20M - in fact I think the valuation will be £18M + Adam Johnson
Depsey will come in with a possible cash + Adam going to Fullham
The rest is very confusing but I think that Sahin will join us (loan with option to buy for a fixed price), and I have a bad feeling that the boy Tello may be used by Barca in the deal to get Song from Arsenal.
Question and mystry surrounds Joe Cole, and Andy Carroll. Fuck knows what will happen to those two.
Don't get the Sahin link either - you've got to figure Lucas, Allen & Gerrard for starters - so unless he's covering Gerrard's position, I don't see where we're squeezing him in.
Where we're light is upfront - which make Dempsey & Tello make absolute sense.

we desperately need a striker should either borini or suarez be injured/unavailable (assuming Andy has no future).
an attacking midfielder, who can play cnetral and wide would be nice too (provide cover/competition for gerrard and the wide areas - i'm thinking Neymar).
we need a young left fullback who can challenge Enrique but be content to sit on bench.
we need to say bye to the following: spearing, cole, adams, andy.

You can never have too many good players. I really want Sahin to come in. Rodgers is going to stick to a three man midfield, so we need to have strength in depth in midfield. We can flog Adam.
literally, if he refuses to leave!
We've lost goals and experience this transfer window with the exits of Kuyt, Bellamy and Maxi. That's on the back of a season with goalscoring issue and without the distraction of European football.
The current backup of Henderson, Adam, Cole, Spearing and Shelvey does not fill me with confidence. Of cos, there's the Carroll case.
It'll be nice to add quality, experienced players to the squad.

Having 4 top class players for 3 midfield positions is hardly excessive!
I'd be VERY happy with Tello and Sahin on permanent deals - both would improve us and add youth and hunger to this team. Dempsey is a solid signing, pending cost. We need one or two more players imo --
As for sell - I'd be sad to see Pacheco go. He can still add something. Adam going (sorry Doc) is inevitable I think, as is Carroll (I think we should sell him abroad just in case he comes good).
sahin and tello on permanent deals is delusional.
as i said months ago. we're getting borini, dempsey and allen.

You'll be fine skully. She'll come back to you, don't worry. All the ladies do.

you need to make peace with your ma's taste. stop being so judgemental
