Snodgrass would be a decent addition I suppose

[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.

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

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. 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...

Had to go and jynx it didn't I. He has officially signed for Newell's Old Boys, his first club - http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/late...maxi-departure

Tottenham have agreed a fee with Manchester City to sign Emmanuel Adebayor permanently.

Liverpool sign Fabio Borini from AS Roma.

[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?

Nah, I think Landon Donovan's going to do that if he's been rumored to transfer to Everton from LA Galaxy.

[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.
