Jack Sullivan ‏@jsullivanwhu Calleri has agreed to come however, it is subject to a work permit application in a weeks time. Jack Sullivan ‏@jsullivanwhu We have agreed a fee with AC Milan on Bacca and he has said, he will tell us in the next 48 hours if he is coming!! Jack Sullivan ‏@jsullivanwhu This is why I posted the update! I'm sorry if some off you are not happy with it, however we like to be trustful with the fans.

Watford FC ‏@WatfordFC OFFICIAL: #watfordfc pleased to confirm the signing of Brice Dja Djédjé from @OM_Officiel:

Everton ‏@Everton BREAKING: Everton appoint Steve Walsh as Director of Football. Welcome to Everton, Steve.

Grujic is looking very handy for them in pre-season as well. I think they'll be good this season, but we shall see. £25m is a lot of money for Wijnaldum - But after they sign him, their total signings are about £75m. If they can sell Benteke, which lets face it, is quite likely, they'll have recouped around £64m, so not bad going really.

Slightly dodgy keeper too. I think they'll be a force going forwards, but mainly need Sturridge to stay fit (which is unlikely to happen).

Let's count ourselves lucky they decided not to, as you know they would have gone for Van Dijk!

Klavan probably just replaces Toure as 4th choice, to be fair.

I like the fact that they had Lallana/Coutinho/Firmino & yet still went out and got Mane & Wijnaldum. Seems smart to me. Lots of options of Klopp to choose from.

REDS AGREE WIJNALDUM FEE Liverpool have agreed a £25m deal with Newcastle United for midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, according to Sky sources.

What's your reasoning? Just curious.

Thought I'd bump an old thread up. Does anyone know how he's getting on? Did he just stay behind to work on fitness at Staplewood? Or has he had a set-back?

He's worth whatever they want to pay, I guess. It's expensive for a year left on his contract but Liverpool know a few teams want him so I suppose it drives his price up. He had a good euros and is only 26.

John Percy ‏@JPercyTelegraph Stoke have agreed a fee of £13million with #lfc for Joe Allen. More to follow @TeleFootball #scfc paul joyce ‏@pjoyceexpress Allen has prefers a return to Swansea, but Stoke only club to agree a fee with Liverpool so far. fee could eventually rise to £13.5m

Adrian is bang on. Still need a No.10 & a multi-functional attacker.

Were linked to him a couple of seasons ago too. I assume there's nothing in it as he's a defensive midfielder.

Oh yeah! - I posted a random link to that the Talisca deal a while ago and completely forgot about it. Does FFP not exist in the championship anymore?

& loan him straight back to Walsall? I'd be OK with that.
