SAFC have accepted a Liverpool bid for Jordan Henderson but he won't discuss terms until after the U21's Euro champs

 

From Twitter (looks like sunderland of some sorts)

The cat amongst the pidgeons and all that. Interesting if true, talented young man!

[Whelan]

Taking all the information so far looks like we are signing everybody in the whole world! But reading between the lines, it may mean that we sign one ready made world class forward ala Mata, Hazzard, solid premiership defenders ala Enrique, Dann, and solid premiership players ala Young, Downing, Adam etc!

 

I realise that I may seem like I am reinventing the wheel, but what I am trying to say is that it does not look as though we will be looking at Contrao, Hazzard and Mata, but rather one 20 million pound plus and the rest will be good solid, consistent premiership players.

 

Next year, cashing in on our status as Champions we can hope to sign higher profile players.

Loathe as I am to believe anything that is Twatted, I'm not sure how I feel about this. He had an horrendous run of poor form last season. Although I suppose that's normal for any young player that isn't called Gerrard.

 

 

Still he has, as they say, "all the tools": quick, strong, decent technique, can shoot and pass.

 

Long been linked with United.

He's a bit shit in my opinion. Doesnt do anything great. Looks far better on the right than in central mid though.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Joe Barton certainly fits in with the projected ethos of FSG: At (almost) 29 and not brilliant, he fits the young and brilliant paradigm just perfectly.

 

There has been so much speculations that I guess we'll just have to wait and see who the fuck we buy. One minute we're disappointed by Downing, the next we hear of Mata and Hazzard. Then we're talking about M'Villa and Matuidi, then down again by the likes of Adam and Downing.

 

Bored now.

I cant see that beeing true. No way would Sunderland agree a fee without Steve Bruce beeing all over the media moaning and complaining.

[Unrighteous]

Henderson. I don't know how I feel about that.

[The Dude Abides]

I'm getting the chills. We need to sign good flashy foreign player for a fair price. All this talk of overrated and overpriced British players is getting me down. Henderson is another one. Younhere figures like £20m bandied about. Which is completely mental.

[Josef Svejk]

Liverpool are keen on Monaco’s Cameroon international winger Benjamin Moukandjo.

 

Kop boss Kenny Dalglish has had the 22-year-old watched several times and may land him for a bargain fee after the French side were relegated from the top flight at the weekend.

 

Moukandjo scored five goals for Monaco after his January move from Ligue Two side Nimes.

 

He is unwilling to play again at a lower level and Monaco may be prepared to sell him to lighten their wage bill.

Vurnon Anita to shore up LFC's midfield?

 

Liverpool and Chelsea are set to battle it out for Vurnon Anita's signature according to talkSPORT.

 

The Ajax midfielder agreed a new deal recently, but talkSPORT suggest this may have been a deliberate tactic from the club to maximise profit from any potential sale of Anita.

 

It is believed a fee of around £12m would trigger a release clause in the Dutchman's contract and allow other clubs to discuss terms.

Reds chasing Andre Ayew?

 

Reports have emerged today linking Liverpool with a move for Marseille winger Andre Ayew.

 

The Ghana international - one of his country's best performers in the 2010 World Cup - has starred for his club side during this campaign, scoring 10 goals in 31 league appearances.

 

The 21-year-old was voted Marseille's player of the season for 2010/11 and is now a target for both Liverpool and Bayern Munich according to Ghanasoccernet.

 

Ayew's contract runs until 2014 and it is thought interested parties would have to stump up around £13m to secure his services.

EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool after every player in Europe.

 

It's clear that they've no idea whats going on.

[Gym Beglin]

A few smoke bombs being thrown down by the club I suspect.

Not worth getting wound up about anything at the moment, it's all speculation until someone with a club badge on says something about it.

 

Can't see Henderson being a target, he's too narrow as an option, and we've already got two of those type of midfielders in Gerrard and Meireles, not to mention Aurelio and Maxi who also operate middle to semi-wide. Oh, and Cole. Pacheco too.

 

Lucas was our player of the season, Spearing not far behind, it's obvious that our problems are not in central midfield, not a priority anyway.

All that said, we will be buying at least one Central Midfield player this summer.

 

Thank God.

 

I only hope it's the right one.

Hi Ed's i posted the other day but you put it on the banter page.

 

I have now been told the name of one of the players who will definately be signing for Liverpool this summer, Sergio Aguero and he will be our new #10, I have been told that he wanted to sign for us back when Rafa was is charge but Atletico would let him go...

It'd make me happy, but I can't really see it.

Yup. I think we're guarenteed to buy a CM this summer.

[Guest TK-421]

Completely ignored the post:|

 

What?! I replied to the part I thought had any substance. I can reply to the rest if you like:

 

Ridiculous idea of a signing. In fact fucking appalling.

 

On what basis is it ridiculous? If you're going by matters off the pitch I have some sympathy with your view, but am open minded about his less desirable antics. If you mean football wise I completely disagree; he's a very accomplished player, who would be a steal at 5m or so, and bring immediate experience to a position where we're heavily relying on youth.

 

Hopefully we are looking at a crop of British players and crop of overseas targets.

 

I think that's an assumption we can make, yes.

 

Barton shouldn't be on any list.

 

Okay...

 

Joe Barton certainly fits in with the projected ethos of FSG: At (almost) 29 and not brilliant, he fits the young and brilliant paradigm just perfectly.

 

Classic sarcasm there. Sometimes it makes sense to break the mold. Gary Mac, y'know?

 

There has been so much speculations that I guess we'll just have to wait and see who the fuck we buy. One minute we're disappointed by Downing, the next we hear of Mata and Hazzard. Then we're talking about M'Villa and Matuidi, then down again by the likes of Adam and Downing.

 

I see what you've done there. Listed some British players who you think are average, and then listed some foreign ones who you've barely seen play. Quite the contrast.

I know its probably bullshit, but as long as we're fantasising, may aswell make it worth dreaming about.

 

excuse me a minute...

 

fap fap fap fap fap fap....

[RoyHodgeGone]

I cant see that beeing true. No way would Sunderland agree a fee without Steve Bruce beeing all over the media moaning and complaining.

 

No doubt Fergie would be on the phone to Bruce insisting they don't sell for less than £25m. Next thing you hear he's signed for Utd for £5m + Darren Gibson.

[Lee909]

I think Bruce knows he needs to keep his mouth shut as he is lucky to still be in a job after there end of season form.

The was talk of them needing to balance the books aswell

[WhiskeyJar]

All that said, we will be buying at least one Central Midfield player this summer.

 

Thank God.

 

I only hope it's the right one.

 

We will buy a CM and not a DM to replace Lucas....

[18-5]

Barton deal is strange. If true then does it means Adam is not coming?

 

Also is Henderson what we need? Thought Shelvey and Spearing were showing signs of improvement at the end of the season. What will happen to Meireles and Lucas if we do sign both?

 

We could potentially see a midfield like this come next season..

No. We couldn't. It would never happen.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Mainly because it would absolutely fucking shit.
