Hyypia played for a team that came 2nd in the Dutch league and turned down CL football with them to join us. I never said they all aren't good enough for us, I've said they don't seem to be the sort of players that will automatically improve the starting 11 given the level they've played at. Mignolet has played in Premier League but Reina is better and I don't think Toure is that great anymore. Skrtel is a better defender. I'd like players like the Armenian we seem to be after. Done it for a while for a good club and in Europe. Do you think the sort of signings we have made so far are the best we could realistically make? A free, a Barca B player and someone City let go on a free?

Alonso played for a club that finished 2nd in La Liga one season. Garcia played plenty of times for Barcelona. Alberto was at Sevilla, loaned out to a lower league club in Barca B, Barca had the chance to sign him for 4m Euros, turned it down, and now he's at us. No comparison between Alonso, Garcia, Coutinho, who all played at really high level, and Alberto.

I'm not being negative. I'm asking why people are positive about our signings. What makes them positive about them? Just that we signed them?

All them players mentioned are clearly very good players except Thiago and Strootman who I can't comment on cos i haven't seen enough. Are you saying you wouldn't be happier signing them sort of players?

What's a FM wondekid jizzfest? For all you know they could be shit, too. I said at the minute it looks like none will improve our starting 11. Yet loads of people are saying how good the signings have been. I'd like some proven quality.

Coutinho had played plenty of games in Serie A, La Liga and Champions League. None of these players bar Toure have played at that level.

I'm struggling to see why a lot of people are seemingly very pleased about our summer transfers so far. They all seem like won't significantly improve the starting 11.

We'll see if we get a top defender this summer if they're so replaceable.

I reckon Skrtel would be daft to stay. Rodgers clearly doesn't rate him. Weird after he didn't sell him to Man City for over 20m.

Do younot think Reina and Suarez will leave?

An absolutely amazing festival. Easily the best festival I've been to. This year was my first Glastonbury. Impossible to get bored at it. There's always something going on to suit all tastes. I'm struggling to recover now. Can't get a full night's sleep with waking up feeling horrible since I got back.

We should be spending at least another 65m when Suarez, reina, Skrtel and Coates leave.

I reckon we should get at least 65m for Reina, Suarez, Skrtel and Coates. So we should spend at least that plus FSG's 20m which should be the least they're putting in. We get an extra 30m for TV money this summer, too.

Will we be in profit for the summer after Shelvey and Ince move? And then we have the wage bill reduced, too. Plus Skrtel, Coates, Reina and Suarez to go. Should mean we spend at least another 70m this summer if FSG put even minimal money in.

He has. He gave the shortest answers possible an didn't say he knew everything about Liverpool. They asked did he know about Liverpool's history and he said not really, I mostly know about Rafael Benitez's Liverpool team.

Juve will be very good with him and Llorente next season.

I don't think Toure is a better centre back than Skrtel that's a part of the squad weakened, but hopefully we get a top centre back to go straight into the starting 11. The attack will be weakened by Suarez leaving, although all these squad players will give us more options.

If someone jumped on the stage at Glastonbury he's hardly likely to be jailed or deported.

Did you find where Rodgers said that?

Rodgers doesn't want 2 for every position. He said he wants a core of about 17 players and the rest young players.

Reina does that plus everyting Stu said.

Ronaldo was determined to go, the Mancs kept him and he had his best season. Modric was determined to go, he had his best season when Spurs kept him.

It seems that way.

You don't have to sell players that want to leave. Spurs didn't do it with Modric.

Coutinho had played plenty of games at the highest level. He'd played CL, Serie A and La Liga. There's no comparison between him and Luis Alberto.
