I think sadly that article originates fro  the rag. 

Sadly this appears to be correct. On talksport's website it quotes the 'newspaper' in it's story.

All at slightly different amounts

All the articles refer back to the S*n

[Harry Squatter]

Indykalia and the Anfield Plug on Twatter reported it 2 days ago so it must be true.

 

If it is its a very good signing. No language barrier and he has lived in the UK before. Fast, skilful, direct and Klopp has already worked with him so hopefully he settles in quickly. £42m-£45m is not a bad price considering we will get almost £40m for Ings and Origi.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Young. Potentially very good. Fast. Wouldn’t say no, although I think he would frustrate a few people in the first couple of seasons with his erratic end product. 

[Harry Squatter]

Banega and Gary Cahill signing for Arsenal apparently.

I thought Chamberlain woukd be a massive waste of money for 40m and I was completely wrong. Hopefully a lot of people saying he isn't that good will also be wrong.

Aston Villa have pulled out of a move to sign him as it would have been too expensive to sign him up. Seems a strange jump to go from signing for Aston Villa to sign for Arsenal.

I still think AOC has some way to go before justifying his price, considering his contract. 

 

Pulisic is more potential and rawness. 

[M_B]

Pulisic will be a star under Klopps guidance. If he's available then we should be in for him.

[Lee909]

Banega could be a great signing if he still has the legs

How do you know? 

Because I googled the story when you posted it. The metro quoted the rag, the rag was the oldest version of the story on Google news.

Crystal Palace want Liverpool’s Dominic Solanke on loan, Brighton and Hove Albion want him permanently. Fulham and Huddersfield also shown interest. Solanke to make decision on future in next few days. @pauljoyce 

[aws]

Have we paid for Solanke yet?

Especially as he will more or less miss the whole of this season.

Yep. An undisclosed fee between our valuation of £3m and Chelsea's valuation of £12m.

Isn't pulisic a huge United fan. That kind of decision making makes me think he's either a cunt, mentally disturbed or stupid. No thanks to pulisic. I'm not arsed about opening up financial opportunities to the US. Will he improve the team I've no idea. But if klopp really wants him then get him because klopp can reverse his brainwashing and klopp deserves to get what he wants.

 

Buy Sancho.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I don’t care who he supported as a kid. Same with Carra or Owen or whoever.

Thanks.  I hadn't seen that we'd received the valuation. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Pulisic is an excellent player who would be an ideal signing for us. Great dribbler, fast and creative with an eye for goal, still really young and Kloppo would improve him even further, the kid would add real quality and depth to our forward line.

 

All that said, I really couldn't give a fuck, if Kloppo had really wanted Pulisic then no way would he be signing for Chelsea ahead of us. I summise that Kloppo has an even better player lined up.

[Paul]

Pulisic has told Chelsea he wants Liverpool. Not the same thing as saying we’re signing him, but still good.

Solid source on that, mate?

They facetimed him. He was wearing a Liverpool shirt and playing this in the background

Echo have said there is nothing in the reports

[Boss]

Thorgan Hazard has steadily become one of the stars of the Bundesliga without any real fanfare. It seems Dortmund are trying to flog Pulisic to Chelsea so they can buy him. He's a big step up. Very skilful player. A bit of the Zaha's about him - in the sense that he has to overcompensate for his jabroni teammates by taking on everyone on his own. Not as fast as his brother - a poor mans Eden Hazard. £30m release clause.

 

Timo Werner I reckon there's definite interest there. Left sided player who can cut in on his right foot. We only have Mane for that role. Went through a tough spell last season but still scored 13 goals with 7 assists in the league. Bayern want him to replace Lewandowski. He'd be better off here instead, he doesn't suit a possession based system. Can cover both Mane and Firmino's roles. Presses like Firmino. As fast as Mo in full flight. 

 

Steven Bergwijn is someone to watch out for. A few Dutch news sites have said we're scouting him. He's like a young Sadio Mane. Fast, strong, good technique. Might be the biggest talent out of the Eresdivisie since Depay. 

 

Alderweireld has just had his contract renewed, which means the £25m release clause is now active. We should be all over that.

 

Nainggolan got caught the other day slagging off the Inter players and fans like fuck. Think Joe Cole's "they told me to say it was a big club" West Ham interview x 10. Said he's desperate to come back to Roma and asked Totti to have a word. His position must surely be untenable. A good cheap option for squad depth.
