Reckon Barca will offer a player plus £50M though. Don't want him to leave but Sanchez plus a considerable amount of cash would certainly soften the blow.

Hmm.  Will we sign an out and out striker in addition to Sanchez, or is the plan to have Sanchez play off of Studge?  Where does that leave us with Shaqiri as well?

Can anyone shed light on whether Sanchez is comfortable playing through the middle on his own/in a false 9? I'm pretty terrified at the thought of Sturridge getting injured, allowing us to line up at the Allianz Arena with Rickie Lambert leading the line.

Hopefully the £50M or whatever Barca pay will be enough to buy another Striker. Doubt it will be a like for like replacement for Suarez which is the only thing worrying me. Don't want another Carroll situation on our hands. 

With Lallana looking likely I doubt we will sign Shaqiri. Especially if we manage to get Sanchez as well.

Who reported that, was it Tony Barrett with a trademark "Liverpool are closing in on" tweet?  I seem to recall his saying that we would have Lallana, Moreno, and Lovren wrapped up before the World Cup.

No. Doesn't my post pretty much clarify that?
