Yes, you said earlier

With Benteke deal appearing to be done surely our other strikers (Mario, Fabio, Rickie) must know their time at the club is at an end, granted they should already have known that but we really cant have 7 strikers at the club! Time to have a "flood sale" with them.

Yeah andt the fact everybody will know we need to get rid of them means we won't get that much for them either.

Lambert: interest from West Brom, possibly from Bournemouth and Villa, having just moved his family up from the south coast, he might not be overly keen to go back down again, so a Midlands club could be his best option in the PL. We might end up with less than £2m for him.
Borini: the so called caged lion who keeps turning down deals because he wants to run down his contact and reap the benefits of being a free agent. Some interest in Italy, but even if he does accept a deal we'll be lucky to see £5m for him.
Balotelli: rumours of interest from Fenerbahce but player wants to return to Italy... where no-one wants to pay him £100k a week. A loan deal seems most likely and we may need to still keep paying a % of his wages.

Milner scores again, and Ings gets his first for us.

Yep, most played well, especially Gomez, that boy is something very special for 18 ........ Raheem who?

I am very excited for Gomez. We've had some defenders in the past with a bit of potential that never came through- Kelly, Insua, Wilson, Hobbs, San Jose, Ayala, Robinson etc, but Gomez really does look like the real deal.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him and John Stones at the heart of the England defence sometime within the next 3-4 years.

Yep Gomez looking good

Ings has looked pretty sharp so far which is promising (but then again so did Aspas).

Milner looks like he's played for us for years. He's slotted right into the midfield and will give us relentless energy in there with Hendo. We just need a clever holding player to sit behind them. Or perhaps Allen will be entrusted with that role.

We seem to have played 4-3-1-2 and 4-3-3 in these friendlies so far, I wonder if those are the formations BR is planning to use most this season.

"Sakho's a player who gives a lot to his teammates, mostly panic attacks"

I think we are defiantly going 4 at the back which is a good thing.

On transfers compared to other clubs I think Chelsea really show the difference. They can sign a Felipe or cuadrado for big sums and if it doesn't work out it doesn't hurt them massively.

If we spend that money on players they need to be a success.

Not just the players.

Gerrard and Suarez together, with Luis in his Barcelona kit, and Stevie in his LA Galaxy
kit. It's not right! They should both be wearing red!

Also, John Arne Riise got a YNWA tattoo:

Liverpool echo saying we bid £46 million for Reus but his heart is set on Madrid.

That photo just seemed so wrong this morning, and yet somehow so right. Massive miss to the club, and for a moment I was incredibly sad, but the connection between them will always be Liverpool - no matter where they are and who they play for now.

now, lets not be greedy !
I thought we had a pretty good squad

It's just in the rumour section so have my doubts. We have enough players of that ilk right now.

New Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling scored three minutes into his debut in a friendly against Roma in Melbourne on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old, who joined City for £49m from Liverpool on 14 July, ran through on goal before finishing as City took an early 1-0 lead at the MCG.
Sterling started on the left side of a front three that included David Silva and teenage forward Kelechi Iheanacho.
City are playing in the International Champions Cup in Australia.
Sterling became the most expensive English player ever when he made the move from Liverpool to City.



"Expletive!"

Considering your last two paragraphs together, Can should be free to play the holding role, yes?

I've predicted he'll get at least 15 for City this season.

It's not all bad - if it helps City takes points off of Chelsea, United, Arsenal and Spurs - and Everton, I'll be happy. We'll have inside knowledge on how to unhinge him when he plays us hopefully.

The more I think about our away schedule at the start of the season, though, the more it scares me. The flip side is that if we start well, the last two thirds of the campaign should be a breeze!

Maybe, but I'm not sure I would trust him to do the "holding" part. He likes to get forward, does our Can.

I don't know if anyone is interested, but Stevie G will be playing against Suarez tomorrow in LA. Not sure if it will be televised or not, or even when, but if you're keen you can search that out.

Knowing me I shall be up with a bad back by then might tune in

If I can manage to stay up I'll be watching.

I am recording it, no way can I stay awake for that long, but am really looking forward to seeing it tomorrow!
