Why not, why should the club be any different to most other businesses?

FFS, dyslexic gaolkeepers need not pally.

Would make us look far more foolish to offer top money first off. Trying to make a bargain is hardly foolish behaviour. Don't see how FF will join us though, its well known that players leave us to get CL football, not the other way round. FF already has CL football, in fact has already played twice this season I believe, against a top club (in Iceland) that must make it all worthwhile. next up Warsaw or St Paddys.

Pre-season, especially friendlies, has been a bit of a joke so far really, Monday we were missing 8 first choice players, let alone any new signings. Partly due to WC, but for other reasons as well, the only good thing is that some other teams are even further behind in their pre-season preps than us. Other than Lambert, Liverhampton had none of their England players back by last Friday, and that's half their team. We were missing Boruc, Lovren, Tadic, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Davis S, Ramirez and Rodriguez, plus we know we need a new LB and (2nd choice) GK.

Simplistic view of a complex situation. If this were the only reason then all decent players would have gone. Why is it that some players do not leave even when they could? Players look to leave when they are unsettled. But of you want to carry on with this simple view of how football works fine, simple views for simple minds I guess.

Most English players are semi-literate

Sorry, it had to done, I was at the O2 when I posted. Still, as they say, always look on the bright side of life, unless you're a Saints supporter.

Sanitation, or was thst the Romans?

Apart from the clanger of saying headlines instead of headlights, perfectly reasonable post/question. The invisible man

No, think he meant Agustin.

26, just, getting on a bit. FFS. I know policemen are looking younger these days but writing a 26 year old off as getting on a bit takes the biscuit.

That would be the same FIFA who thought Messi was the best player at the WC would it? It really has nothing to do with FIFA (or UEFA), transfers in England are regulated by the Football Association. Sorry but in this case MLG is correct, SRL was a Liverpool player before the WC started.

Rose tinted specs. of course he was. But he is 18, so to be expected. Shaw is not yet the complete full back and won't be until he starts to deliver some assists and a few goals. His defending is very good (especially for an 18 yo) but don't believe the hype that he is already the perfect LB. What we have lost is the potential improvement, I would not be greatly surprised if Targett next season isn't as good as Shaw at the start of last season.

Nope, technically Lambert became a Liverpool player before the WC. The old chestnut about the transfer window not opening until 1st July (which I thought was true) has been proved to be complete crap.

Turkey, he already has 4 caps, including WC qualifier. Question should be whether he is an upgrade on Jos? If so he should be snapped up. But then whether he is better than Jos is like asking if the Pope is Catholic.

Did he bite anyone? If not then he won't be suspended.

Thought the lad was actualy with Sholing reserves (or maybe Totton). He is 17 or so, think we would know if he was an academy player

Sounds like Lovren was thinking about the Jacuzzi again, rather than Liverpool.

FFS Alpine. Players get 3 weeks off when their team is knocked out of the WC. Nothing to do with the Club, it is a FIFA agreement. I guess you will be saying that Morgan is a wastrel as well will you? You have realised he is not back yet either. Our German contingent will not be returning for 3 weeks (so we won't see our new signings Gotze, Schweinsteiger and Neuer) until early August. Think you will find Gaston will be back this weekend as planned. If he's not then you a right to moan, otherwise just STFU.

God help us if we are relying on Krueger to increase our commercial revenues. Is he still around?

3 weeks. France only got knocked out on the 4th, should be back towards end of next week. Gaston should be back this weekend (knocked out on 28th June). Hence Lovren and Yoshida are back already, Croatia and Japan knocked out on 23rd/24th June. If we had any English players (left) they would have been back before they departed Good job we didn't have any German, Argentinian, Dutch or Brazilians on duty, they will not rejoin their clubs until August. Maybe that's why Guly is still on his hols (and that his contract has not been renewed). Still think Guly would have done better than Joe or Fred.

No evidence that they are a downgrade. More confident of Tadic. Grazi may well turn out to be better than SRL but will he bring everything else that SRL gave to the team, in terms of his talismanic properties, I hope so, but may take more time.

Has decided that he does not want to play CL football. Its the start of a new trend, the thinking footballer, I can play less games per season, travel less and still earn a shedfull of money by playing for a team that is not in the CL. He also does not want to play with a bunch of no-hoper England players an has found Stevie Gee's accent tiresome.

It would be amazing if Liverpool got all of their targets, they seem to have been linked with every player who has 2 legs the same length. I guess that rules Pelle out, but not many others.

Diet is very important, dill is claimed by some to be the world's healthiest food.
