I can't find any other sources reporting this? and I would have thought a LB was a priority over a RB. Zaba is one of the first names on the team sheet. At the moment pelly picks the LB on whether we need to defend or not.

Txiki has been on his summer jollys and plus negotiating image rights, contracts etc with high profile players is a lot more complicated than signing your average joe

I think Song would be a great addition and as previously stated, ticks the HG box. I'd also take NDJ back, he was immense, not as cultured as an Alonso but between the two I know who I'd least like to be tackled by.

last I heard he was still waiting to see what Wolfsburg offered as they are in the CL next season. Suspect it's more out of courtesy though.

Liverpool have a track record in sticking to their guns (see Suarez, Torres and Agger). Unfortunately they are too big a club to be bossed by player power and they certainly don't need the money, this isn't like trying to bully Everton for Lescott. If I'm wrong I don't even think Sterling has...

I love it when people refer to a wonder goal to judge the level of a players overall ability. Look at all the nomarks that end up in MotD’s goal of the season, perhaps we should go sign them too

I think we've been a little unfortunate with the HG thing. Since Mansour took over we've always tried to invest in English talent when it's been available - Barry, Lescott, Milner, A Johnson, Sinclair, Rodwell etc the problem is we only really want the best in the 1st XI and for a good while...

Well, Isco or whoever, point is there is better than Sterling out there for cheaper

The point of buying squad players is because we need the home grown quota. bump some of the young international lads out in favour for young English ones and this gives us scope to upgrade the first team with genuine world beaters

we only need the home grown quota for the squad not the first team. there's no need to pay over the odds for sterling when we could get isco and an English squad player for the same money. Keep him at Liverpool, he'll be half the price come next summer when he and Liverpool have another mediocre...

I disagree with the OP, often last season we struggled to break down opposition who were sat on the 18 yard line. we were too slow down the flanks and if silva or yaya was off the boil we lacked ideas or a plan B. I don't think sterlings final ball and finishing is good enough to warrant a 50m...

Funniest comment I've read on here and spot on more to the point. Dunne bled City but he had/has the widest legs in the league, let's not let nostalgia confuse commitment with ability.

I'll be honest, I've not been that impressed. Certainly not seen 30mils worth of player. He's not as good going forward as yaya and certainly not as good as enforcing as NDJ which i think we missed massively last year. That said he's better than barry and rodwell. Hopefully he'll improve and...

Why are we not in for Mata? Rumours that chelsea were using him as a part exchange for wazza - i'd take him over isco anyday and he can play down the left which is something everyone seems to be pointing at (i'd have started Mata as it's own post but just like snowden i have no rights!)

cretin, excellent put down - did you think of that yourself? I actually really rated bojinov however injury aside he never really shone anywhere he went to since he left us which makes me question whether the hype was justified? also is Jovetic what we need given his lack of goals and the fact...

just how good is jovetic? he got a strike rate of just under 1 in 3 last season and in the friendly against england he didnt shine. I'm a bit worried he's going to be another bojinov

i thought the whole point of the structure was to play a 4-3-3 system through the whole club and i just dont see it with the current team. i can actually see us playing 4-4-2 with navas/milner and nasri/silva on the wings with kun alongside dzeko/negredo.

550million? are you still operating in Lira?<br /><br />-- Fri Jun 28, 2013 3:02 pm --<br /><br /> If we can get him for 40m i'd be happy enough, I've said all along he will win the league with whoever he signs for

don't know whether this is old news rehashed but Napoli president saying we are the only one to make a formal approach for cavani but fell short on value. maybe once hes argued his release clause like fernandinho we might be able to get the ball rolling. certainly cant go into the season with...

Re: Leighton Baines i'm waiting to see how easily moyes takes no for an answer now hes got cash to go after one of evertons players. i can imagine the 'disgusting' approach we took to get lescott is suddenly looking a little more acceptable
