Premium Sport are reporting this evening that the agent of Bordeaux star #Malcom is flying to England to speak with both Liverpool and Tottenham about potentially signing the Brazilian.

 

Klopp would also like to sign Alisson Becker. If Roma, who have some financial issues to address, show a willingness to do business Liverpool would move swiftly for the Brazil No 1. (Dominic King)

Liverpool deserve credit for getting this over the line - Lyon wanted to incite a post-World Cup bidding war but a mixture of Fékir's wishes & LFC convinced them otherwise. Chelsea = were the only concrete competitor at this stage of the window. Manager situation cost them.

 

Shaqiri is of interest but not a priority at the moment. *Telegraph*

 

A goalkeeper remains on Klopp’s wish list, but negotiations with Roma are proving difficult as they are reluctant to sell Alisson, and especially to Liverpool having allowed Mohamed Salah to move to Anfield for only £36.9 million a year ago, says @_pauljoyce

 

 

Liverpool have an interest in Stoke City’s Xherdan Shaqiri, but it is understood that the Switzerland player’s release clause is more than the £12 million that has been publicly stated. (Paul Joyce)

This is getting silly now. I hate this time of year.

It's all over twitter that it's the medical that was the problem.

 

I'm guessing that would mean that something in his scan didn't look good, presumably the knee he did the ACL on two years ago. That will put the cat amongst the pigeons in terms of our recruitment - I'm sure we have a plan B but it will take some time to get negotiations moving one would suspect.

 

If it is a medical issue that would explain Lyon's statement. They'll still want to sell him so they undoubtedly won't want it to come out that he has an issue.

[Greycellgreen]

Guardian still saying it’ll get done today, despite Lyon’s statement, which when you read it again doesn’t really deny a deal has happened, just the details, unless somethings lost in translation. They state ‘false information’. Could mean the fee.

 

We have a saga !!!

[The Golden Eel]

It's definitely true. I'll confirm exactly what I meant later. But I can confirm it's true. Thanks.

You were spot on. Leicester have indeed just completed the signing of Johnny Evans.

 

You’re now the official Northern Ireland ITK correspondent.

Can you provide us with an update on chris baird?

 

Who the fuck is this nabil guy?

Just because twitterati mob say stuff does not mean a thing. People put far too much note on twitter which is basically like a load of washer women chatting rubbish over the garden fence.

Nabil Fekir underwent his medical prior to his transfer to Liverpool on Thursday night in Clairefontaine, France's training base. Liverpool are now waiting for the results before officially announcing the transfer. (RMC)

 

Despite Lyon issuing a strongly-worded denial, Nabil Fekir is on the verge of becoming Jürgen Klopp’s second major transfer of the summer, with Anfield officials having agreed a deal worth an initial €55m. Via @guardian_sport

Anyone else struggling to masturbate to the latest Fekir news?

It was frustrating. Luckily I'm in the gym and there's a woman PT squatting in front of me so now my shorts are suitably moistened once more. Sublime.

Between Sissoko, Moura and him Spurs are have been doing consistently bad business for a few seasons with the odd gem thrown in. Very Liverpool of old.

He’s not worth half of that.

 

Unless there’s other teams interested, Villa’s tax issues mean anyone buying their players should really have them over a barrel.

I don't want Allison for a reason as tenuous as him being too good-looking. Need a nutter with a face only a mother could love eg. Ollie Kahn.

Oblak is one hard knock away from securing the lead in the Goonies remake.

[Hades]

Even Oblak isn't that bad looking. I miss the olden days when you had genuinely ugly players. Probably has something to do with falling testosterone levels in society.
