WHY THE FUCK

HE'S OUR SECOND BEST STRIKER

WHAT IS THIS STUPID FUCKING SHIT!!!

Next season we'll probably buy some useless scrub like Dwight Gayle to add depth to our strike force

Deal could be off now

He has rejected the offer apparently, he seems keen to "fight for his place" or, in other words, get paid to do nothing.

He's trying to get a higher salary from Sunderland apparently

Apparently there's an Andy Heaton tweet where he reveals he's been told by Tony Evans that we're in for a signing that is "OMFG". But Tony Evans has been sworn to secrecy and couldn't reveal any more than that. It would make sense for LFC to make sure this marquee signing is kept under wraps.

Could all just be bullshit, though. We better at least get Moreno.

The reality is that it's almost impossible to keep a transfer under wraps now.

Why the fuck are we signing Loic Remy?

We don't fucking need him, we have Fabio Borini

ffs

Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement over the transfer of Reus. They've agreed that it's never going to happen.

We've made a loan bid for Isco apparently. Rodgers loves a good loan doesn't he

What loan deal has Rodgers brought in at Liverpool that has been "good"?

There hasn't been one hence me making a tongue in cheek comment.

Isco should have chosen to stay with his spirit granddad Pellegrini rather than the evil empire of Real Madrid.

Cissokho was excellent, he delayed Flanagan's arrival in the first team & forced us to (unsuccessfully) try to convince a few League 2 teams to take him.

"Respected Belgian journo Sven Claes has confirmed that Liverpool are in for Zakaria Bakkali of PSV. The Belgian youngster has 1 year left on his deal and PSV have him training with the reserves as he won't sign a new one.   PSV had accepted a bid from Eintracht, but upon hearing Liverpool were interest Bakkali rejected the move. Negotiations are ongoing, the fee agreed with Enitracht was believed to be between €2m and €3m."

Rodgers must have found this one from Fifa 14. Jokes aside €3m is a risk free signing.

Shades of Assaidi

Sturridge, Remy, Sterling and Markovic. We're going to be fucking lightening-fast.

Especially on FIFA.

Ummm why the fuck are we paying £20M for Lovren and Mats Hummels is only £16M

Nobody reputable is reporting that.

What is considered reputable by you English folk pls

The Telegraph, The Guardian, the BBC, Sky Sports or The Times. If the article says "According to reports" or opens with "Reports: Player X to Team Y" then it's worthless.

Mats Hummels for £16. If David Luiz goes for £50m, Hummels is easily worth at least £100m.

Looks like we have beaten Arsenal to the loan signing of Atletico Madrid right back Javier Manquillo. Don't know if he's any good or not but he surely can't be any worse than Glen Johnson.

It is Flanagan that needs replacing.

Sturridge
Accelaration: 89
Sprint Speed: 90

Remy
Accelaration: 89
Sprint Speed: 93

Sterling:
Accelaration: 92
Sprint Speed: 91

Markovic

Sprint Speed: 84

I'm not sure how effective they'll be in attack, but having such a pacey forward line is great news for your defence. Few teams will do anything other than sit back against you.

That post was FIFA-related.

Not many teams successfully sat back against us last season. Quite a few attempted to do so, and then abandoned plans once they went 1-0 down. Only Chelsea pulled it off, IIRC. Norwich came close at Anfield, until the Gerrard free-kick was powered into the top corner.

That was Sunderland, wasn't it?

Fair play to him.

You're right, it was. We destroyed Norwich

They played in yellow, that must have been what threw me.

A £15k pay cut on his £90K salary is still alot.
