Arsenal are apparently linked with Hugo Lloris

Saw that on Sky Sports yesterday. Lyon are willing to listen to offers, although I do not think that Sczezsny would take kindly to being a 2nd choice GK for the Gunners if Lloris signs?

[Jayson]

Yeah I think Szczesny is good enough that we don't need Lloris, + he's only 22 so has a lot more potential.

Sigurdsson you fool.

I want Ramirez or Dempsey instead anyway :idc:

Mirror saying AC Milan want Carroll... and they actually have quotes to back it up


Andy Carroll is a target for AC Milan, according to reports.

The Liverpool striker apparently caught the eye of Pier Silvio Berlusconi - who is the son of Milan's owner Silvio Berlusconi and has involvement in the club's transfer policy - with his towering headed goal for England against Sweden at Euro 2012.

For now, the story claims, Berlusconi junior sees the big Geordie as part of a shake-up of the Milan squad which has already seen veterans such as Clarence Seedorf, 36, and Mark van Bommel, 35, moved on.

Milan's current frontman, Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, will be 31 later this year.

“This is a new era for Milan," said the younger Berlusconi. "We will continue to get younger while maintaining the culture. Milan still has its superstars.

“As a future target, I’d like Andy Carroll.

“I must admit that for his body build, and after seeing his header in the Euros, I would like to have Carroll at Milan.”

Carroll, 23, struggled to make an impact at Anfield following a stunning £35million move from Newcastle in January 2011.

But he began to justify that price-tag in the latter part of last season, and played his way into England's party for Polkraine.

What the **** :joker: He was at Norwich when they were in league one a couple of years ago and he's 28 now

Borini doing his best Ronaldo impression

[bbfan1991]

Anyone else linked with Villa?

[Locke.]

Have thought for a while now that Snodgrass would be a decent enough player in the Premier League, don't know why its taken so long

[Locke.]

Roma forward Fabio Borini is expected to become Brendan Rodgers' first signing as Liverpool manager.

The 21-year-old Italy international worked with Rodgers at the Chelsea academy and on loan at Swansea.

Talks between the parties are ongoing and although the deal has yet to be agreed, the potential fee is likely to be in the region of £8m.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18773700

Yes!! Haven't seen him since he left Swansea but he was boss for them, scored 10 in 26 last season for Roma, I'm guessing a lot of his appearances would have been as a sub aswell

[bbfan1991]

Rumours going around that Clint Dempsey has agreed to join Liverpool from Fulham.

[Locke.]

I hope so, think he's a really good player, don't know why a lot of our fans are saying they don't want him just because of his age. Not everyone we sign should be 20 years old

[bbfan1991]

I hope so, think he's a really good player, don't know why a lot of our fans are saying they don't want him just because of his age. Not everyone we sign should be 20 years old

Agreed. I mean look at the likes of Pirlo did at Euro 2012 and he is still world class at his age. Age is not a barrier!

Dempsey has a few years in him yet if he aspires to play at a top level club...

Any news on this Gaston Ramirez story too?

[Locke.]

Haven't heard anything on Ramirez today, I guess we'll want him signed before the Olympics though if we're getting him.

Quite happy with these rumoured signings so far, Dempsey/Borini/Ramirez would add a lot to our squad, we still need to add an extra winger or too, though.

[bbfan1991]

Someone better than Downing would be a step up. Shame Maxi has left because he would have been good on the wing for you, he played there for Atletico Madrid before when Torres was banging in the goals.

[Locke.]

Maxi hasn't left yet. He was a certainty to leave under Kenny and even said his farewells, but I'd not be surprised to see him stay now. Hes been one of our better players over the last couple of years even though he doesn't get that many opportunties for some reason, so hopefully he does stay and has been promised more game time

[bbfan1991]

My bad:blush:. Brendan Rodgers should definitely give him another chance like the returning Alberto Aquilani and Joe Cole.

What cost Liverpool is the lack of finishing last season or conversion of chances, so I am guessing that is one area he is looking to work on?

At one stage Liverpool had 30 shots more than United in total but United were more clinical in terms of goals scored...

[Locke.]

We needed more goals from midfield, we needed someone like Adam or Henderson to step up in that department because Gerrard was out for so long but neither did. If our players out wide had chipped in with a few extra goals every now an then we'd have finished a few places higher. Downing didn't score a single league goal, Kuyt only got 2, and Henderson 2).

Defensively we were fine, and we were fine creating the chances most of the time, we just didn't really have anyone to finish them off. Suarez got 11 league goals but he still wasted more than we could afford, and Carroll didn't get going til the last few weeks.

[BBfanUSA]

Dempsey would be a great aquisition. He's at his prime.

(Also it's been a while since there's been a US player playing for a Big 4 team, if I am not mistaken Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U, and Chelsea)

[bbfan1991]

Clint Dempsey would definitely make people in America take more notice of the Premier League LOL.

[bbfan1991]

Interesting how Dempsey was listed as a Liverpool player on their site apparently and then it was removed?

Have you saw the Andy Carroll rumours on Twitter, Locke?

[Locke.]

I'd be guttered if we got rid of Carroll, he is probably my favourite player. I think he showed at the Euro's that he doesn't need a team to be built around him either like most people think he does, he just needs decent crosses thrown into him and he'll get on the end of them.

[BBfanUSA]

Clint Dempsey would definitely make people in America take more notice of the Premier League LOL.

Bellamy back to Cardiff

[Locke.]

Must be clearing out the wage budget, can't think of any other reason we would let Bellamy go

[Locke.]

Andy Carroll will oppose attempts to send him out on loan next season as he would rather fight for his place at Liverpool and prove he has the ability to play in a Brendan Rodgers side.

[MTVN]

Talksport saying that we're apparently interested in getting him on loan now, would like it if we could but can't see it happening, think it'd be stupid for Rodgers to send him out on loan before giving him a chance to prove himself under him, was actually doing alright at the end of the season and at the Euros

[Locke.]

Loaning him out would be the most stupid thing we have done in recent memory, and that would take some doing

[King Gizzard]
