Sigh. Barca coming in hard for Suarez then

Gonna miss him and will be more sad to see him leave than I've ever been with another player in the past, but excited at the same time about who we will bring in with about £80m.

**** sake. Don't want him at Barca

[Brother Leon]

Take the **** away from our league asap tbh. Thank the lord he didn't leave a champion. That would be Puke inducing stuff. God bless Stevie Gerrard..Prem legend

In better news

Liverpool moving rapidly in the transfer market. Deals for Origi & Lallana almost done and now a move for Benfica's Lazar Markovic too.

Suarez deal is likely to contain over 50m and Sanchez, too.

[King Gizzard]

Don't think Lallana is really necessary, money spent better elsewhere

[Novo]

Boydy back on my birthday, it was destiny

[Brother Leon]

Good stuff

[King Gizzard]

[Drew.]

Messi, Suarez & Neymar vs Bale, Benzema & Ronaldo it is then.

[Locke.]

Michu to Napoli, medical passed

[Drew.]

I need to find out who this bloke is before i get stupidly excited

[King Gizzard]

Schneiderlin is inevitable but I'm not sure I see Sanchez going anywhere

[Drew.]

I'm a fan of Schneiderlin and he's been linked with us for ages so i'm hoping it happens.. The Sanchez stories keep picking up more and more every day though.

[Brother Leon]

Sanchez is definitely going somewhere. He's not going to be at Barca next year. My bet is Juve or Arsenal.

lol

[King Gizzard]

They can rightly ask for a ridiculous amount of money though. The most realistic option is Liverpool but I just don't see him there. Not sure Juve have the money. Pretty much relied on pre contracts and free transfers over the years

[King Gizzard]

Villa budget is 10m which includes wages. So pretty much confirming we're already relegated to be honest

He won't want go Liverpool with Suarez leaving imo. Could see him at arsenal honestly. Maybe Van Gaal beating Chile in the group makes him consider United, but don't see that either with no CL football.

[Drew.]

Villa can't even afford Borini, very bad times indeed.

[Locke.]

Wonder how much of that 10m was taken up on Joe Cole's wages

[King Gizzard]

Senderos and Cole both on 20k

[Locke.]

90k to 20k in 18 months

[King Gizzard]

Most of his wages at West Ham were paid by Liverpool

How long a contract did you give him

[Locke.]

Yeah, think we just paid him off when he left. Think his contract would have been up with us this summer

Liverpool are now stepping up their pursuit of Chile’s Alexis Sánchez as they prepare to sell Luis Suárez to Barcelona in what is turning into an extremely busy summer for the club. More than £110  million worth of transfer targets have been secured or are being lined up. There is a budget of over £60 million which will be supplemented by whatever is brought in through sales.

The biggest move will be the expected departure of Suárez and there now appears an acceptance at Anfield that he will go despite signing a new long-term contract.

Liverpool therefore want to include Sánchez as part of the negotiations with Barcelona. It appears that Barcelona will not have to meet the buy-out clause in Suárez’s contract – estimated at between £65 million and £80  million depending on sources – if Sánchez is included.

Liverpool will face competition to sign the 25-year-old and, because of his World Cup commitments, are yet to establish whether he wants to join them as manager Brendan Rodgers continues to strengthen his squad ahead of the club’ss Champions League campaign next season.

Liverpool will announce on Monday that they have signed Adam Lallana from Southampton for £23 million and will also make a move for another Southampton player, Dejan Lovren, the central defender, who will cost more than £15 million.

Southampton, who have sold Rickie Lambert to Liverpool for £4 million and Luke Shaw to Manchester United for £27 million, face a fight to keep the Croatian, 24, who wants Champions League football.

Liverpool are also close to finalising a £10million move for the 19-year-old Belgium striker Divock Origi, but will wait until his country’s participation in the World Cup is over, and want Benfica’s Serbian winger Lazar Markovic who is believed to have a £20 million release clause. Liverpool have already signed midfielder Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen for £10 million.
