Back in the real world is there any (substantial) rumours about anyone else?

I can get quite used to this business of a rumour and it resulting into an actually signing.

Benteke is rumoured to be on £120-140K a week and will cost £30m+. Does anyone seriously think we'll be smashing to bits our transfer and wages records as a second division club?


he could come back in the same car as Milner and Barry,
all three are desperate to come back I'm sure and take wage reductions to boot

There's a spare seat for the snake but I believe they said No

Woeful player with the sort of attitude that would see him join Gabby's gang.

He must be devastated at not getting his dream move to The Hawthorns.

Didn't know who is off pitch antics ! Ahhh no wonder hasn't amount to much ! Good Intel! Yeah I don't want any more of those types. Do you like Walters - a tough competitor!  Or Nugent -champ skills and know how. I can't think anymore experience strikers from prem league who could come

No and no. It's not about being experienced or not, it's about being the type of player we need.  We need pace the only one of our attackers with any pace (assuming Gabby and Adama are out) is Ayew and even then he's not much quicker than your average professional, Rudy, Jack and RM are all slow and that lack of pace makes us predictable.   RHM and Green are both pretty quick but they're too inexperienced for us to rely on them to change the game like that.  We need a quick striker who likes the ball into feet or on the floor into the channels and we need another winger.

Klopp very politely telling Danny Ings to bugger off somewhere and get games. Nobody has our number 9 shirt yet.
