Just wondering if Rodgers is going to be looking back here for buys this summer. If he has the money do you think Joe might be top of his list (one I would hate to see outed frankly)?

Allen would have to take a huge wage cut to go to Celtic. Cant see that happening.

Yes, indeed, I think this is the type of player that is becoming more important in a lot of modern football.
Arsenal are on the verge of signing Xhaka and I've mentioned before how much I would've loved him at Liverpool. Apparently JK thought the £30m price tag was to much for that type of player. He may be right, but I hope he finds a very good and capable alternative.

Balotelli will be available

Why would he want to go to play there? Klopp loves him. He could be a key player for a top pre.mier league club next season
Loris Karius is apparently at Melwood for a medical. If all is true and he does become a our new GK, then I wonder if he will be number 2 or will Migs get benched ?.

Sounds amazing Alan. Meeting Rafa would be a dream come true for me. So would be running the race without stopping ha!
Yes there was a lot of love for Rafa on twitter when someone posted a video of him saying he had family/friends running and he would have done so if he would have known earlier he could attend (as Jeffner said).
The support he has shown for the Hillsboro families has been wonderful.
You now have a pic with him you can cherish for all time. Did you get to speak to him or just a quick pic?

Time will tell, hopefully he can push Migs for the place, that's been lacking.

Joe Allen could be that type of player. He seems very assured under pressure. He has the added bonus of being very industrious.
Not sure about his range of passing though, he tends to keep things simple with that..

Hence why he should of been brought on earlier. Allen can take the ball under pressure and turn away without the need of taking multiple touches. Technically very very good.

I agree.
We need to sign some players who can be leaders on the pitch though. Hendo and Milner don't really seem the sort to be able to sort out this heads dropping issue..

club may look to sell allen or allen may seek to move on. last year of his deal so he may be looking for an extension or the club might want to sell before he becomes a free agent.
he will have plenty of offers from EPL clubs and yeah he would have to take a wage cut to go to celtic so not sure if that would happen.

Allens future is a bit of a ? - I think we would like to keep him as he did so well for us after klopp took over but I do not think we can guarantee him a start - so that may mean from his point of view he may think it best to leave and I would not blame him if he did. I can't see him leaving for Celtic tho - he will have better options

Kirchhoff from Sunderland is one I like but whether he gets considered who knows - ex Mainz btw I learnt from Wikipedia but it was after Klopp left.

No sadly it was just a pic - but I did shake his hand!!

The real question is how would people feel about Danny Ward becoming #3. I'm a fan of the lad, and I'd really like to see him playing games.
If we really want to progress from being a midtable team, Mignolet cannot be our number one keeper. I'd like to see him go, but he wouldn't be a bad number 2 I guess.
Liverpool will hope to secure a fee of more than £4m when Jerome Sinclair’s case goes to tribunal. (Echo)
That's pretty much the Karius fee paid for.
That's pretty much the Karius fee paid for.
Looks like Mario Gotze wants to stay with Bayern Munich, as he thinks will play a lot more under Carlo Ancelotti

I am not surprised at all. Didn't believe them reports how he was looking to sign for Liverpool.
Why would he want to leave Bayern? He will at least wait to see if Carlo wants to use him.
If so then he will stay.

I'm not surprised you're not surprised since you tend to dismiss pretty much any transfer link. In fact I was even expecting you to respond with something like this.
It did look like it was going to happen, it looked like a fight between us and Dortmund, and it looks like he's chosen to fight for his place at Bayern Munich. That's assuming he gets a contract, and Ancelotti has promised him game time. He's coming into his final year so if he doesn't sign a contract now we could look into getting him in January if his situation hasn't improved, and we still have a vacancy.
Remember contracts are definitive proof that someone will stay here or not join us. Mignolet is our Number 1 for years to come!

It looked like it was going to happen according to who?
You have a source for that?
Gotze could still leave but I don't remember seeing any quotes from him, Liverpool or anyone which suggested he was close to leaving.
I have no doubt Liverpool have been trying to sway him for months but to say it was close is stretching it slightly.

“ So here is what the article (in German) from Freddie Röckenhaus in Süddeutsche Zeitung re: Götze. Basically sounds like Götze's former agent, who he sacked, had been trying to get him to go back to Dortmund, as it constituted the least possible risk for the player. Götze's dad still works as a professor at Technischen Universität Dortmund and Götze's family still reside in the city. His Dad said in an interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung that he knows nothing of an impending move to Liverpool. It sounds like at the moment, his Dad has a bit of influence in his affairs. Also sounds like we are the only team that has made a public offer for him.”

Not on hand, and I can't be bothered going looking for one when I'm talking to you two since you like to dismiss everything anyway unless there are direct quotes. Just things I read, and I'm not talking about stupid transfer gossip pages, ITKs, Metro, Express type stuff. Just bits and pieces over recent months that made it look promising. It looked like it was going to be a choice between Liverpool and Dortmund, with him wanting to go to Dortmund but Dortmund fans not wanting him.
He's going into his last year on his contract. If he doesn't feel he'll get game time he might want to leave.

He may leave this summer but all this talk that it was in the process of happening. Nah I don't buy that at all.
Like i said before, he is gonna least wait till he has a conversation with the new manager and see if he is wanted at Bayern.

Dude I'm not denying the player could leave. Usually there is no smoke without fire. I'm not denying Liverpool want him and haven't spoken to his agent to sound him out about a possible move.
I was just questioning the claim that the move was close to happening I don't remember reading anything which suggested that to be the case.

I didn't say it was close to happening. Just that it looked like it would happen, and it did, it looked promising. Not that we were moments away from signing him, just that I was able to believe it based on things I have read.
