While Milner going there obviously improves them, I really doubt that players will perceive them as being a better proposition just because he's joined.

They will if Rodgers sells the intent they have to be playing CL football 12 months from now, signings like Milner certainly back up such a claim.

Him and Benteke's would have been the difference in quite a few games for 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' this season IMO.

I think these are pretty special circumstances though - it sounds like Milner could've easily gone to Arsenal or City for a similar wage, but he wanted a bigger role. I don't know if other players would recognise such a thing, but if they do, I'm skeptical that they would regard his joining as a particular statement of intent.

Anyway, I don't think Pool makes it into the CL next season even if Benteke joins along: City and United are going to spend a bucketload more money, and it seems like Arsenal has finally managed to find some balance and continuity, which mightn't win them the title, but should keep them easily in the top four.

I still think that Manure's top four finish this season was something of a dead cat bounce and that we'll see their real progress next season. Or demise, as I would actually like to see.

You mean after they have spent another £100-150m you expect them to go backwards?

The 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' were terrible, there is no evidence that signing M***** will get them into the champions league

no there isn't, but if they stick him in the middle then we know what he can bring and he will elevate their overall performance. If they are bringing him in to replace Sterling on the right, well they are nuts.

Going to take a lot more than Milner, I doubt Benteke would be puersuaded by the chance they might be in the champions league, Im sure he'd prefer to go somewhere where its guarenteed

From what I've seen he's pretty good going forwards not so good at the backwards stuff... should fit in well.

The September 1st transfer deadline time has been changed to help the CL teams.

Despite all the media certainty he is going, sky bet have us at favourites to retain his service. I'm guessing it's because the top four won't bid for him.

Bearing in mind Sherwood has never signed a player before, the press shouldn't really have too much of a clue as to who he wants.

According to Facebook Andros Town send is in talks with us. There was an other post saying that we are signing Seamus Coleman for £6.5m but I have an inkling that rumour may be horseshit.
