Yeah, Les Reed said in an interview a little while ago that we needed a right-back to compete with Clyney anyway so lets get one in.

This is true, this is why I'm so keen on the Austin deal because with europe as well, we are definitely going to switch people around. I always hoped Sam Gallagher would step up next year to compete & be 3rd choice. Signing a Okaka might scupper that. Lets be honest though, that Sampdoria chap could be meeting anyone - Watford probably in for him.

Let's hope we get Austin instead. Wonder if we can sneak Osvaldo into his suitcase without him knowing?

Don't know much about either. Quick wiki check shows Okaka far from prolific.

Toby probably worth whatever we pay. He was great for us. Yeah, Wilson's stuff is normally well sourced. Found it interesting that the echo seem to be fed stuff as well now which is good because last summer pretty much nothing was coming out of the club officially it seemed.

Sunderland's shopping list sounds similar to ours... http://www.insidefutbol.com/2015/06/05/****-advocaat-makes-virgil-van-dijk-and-jordy-clasie-priority-signings/212698/

Fair play if Stoke land Konoplyanka http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/stoke-city/11653958/Stoke-City-make-3.5m-bid-for-Sporting-Lisbon-defender-Cedric-Soares-and-eye-Yehven-Konoplyanka-deal.html

Will you be doing a player review, Billy?

Designed to generate 'clicks' I suppose. Hope we don't resort to that stuff.

Not sure the board at that club need any help from the media to do that

Always said I'd be happy with either Ings or Austin, and as Ings seems like he's happy for a move to the Anfield subs bench then Austin it is. Scored goals at every level he's played at. Would be very useful for us IMO.

Wouldn't be a HCDAJFU Summer thread without one of Kjaer or Astori getting a mention

I'd be surprised if Milner is on 200k - Saw a report that he turned down around 135k at City and took less to play 1st team football. TBF, I can't imagine him as a Gerrard replacement, but good cover for all kinds of positions. No doubt he fits the Rodgers criteria of "great character".

You added an extra "S" in Clasie

Echo said this morning we've yet to receive a bid.

Liverpool announce they've agreed deal with James Milner (Subject to medical)

We were linked with that Newcastle youngster a few months ago.

@tancredipalmeri: Liverpool have bid 21m€ for Inter's Kovacic

I'd assume he's on WAY higher than 100k

Wage$.

That's what Lovren said before kicking off when we rejected a bid.

I think we will spend very close to what we make on sales.
