New jersey arrived today. Looks very nice. The "Liverpool FC" textured into the fabric down the front is a nice touch.

He had no help from Stevie or Sahin. His pressure off the ball, forcing turnovers and tackling is all very good. He's bang on to be our player of the season, IMO.

The terms have been Agreed: If Joe Allen wins Liverpool's POTY vote, Imno owns my Signature for 10 Weeks If Joe Allen finishes in the Top 3 of Liverpool's POTY, I own Imno's Signature for 5 Weeks If Joe Allen finishes outside of the Top 3 of Liverpool's POTY, I own Imno's Signature for 10 weeks.

Despite his problems, losing Suarez would be an enormous mistake.

Sky sports seem to be quite excited about the promise of Lloyd Jones coming through the reserves. Sky Sports wrote:The scout reports...
We check on Liverpool youngster Lloyd Jones, considered one of the gems of the youth set-up at Anfield.
Jones, though, is an adopted Merseysider as he is originally from Cornwall. Born in Plymouth, Jones began his career with his hometown club.
However, by the time he reached his early teens the commanding youngster was already attracting Premier League interest and at 15 when the decision was made by Plymouth to sell, he had a number of options.
But then Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish stepped into the battle himself and personally oversaw the capture of Jones - which came just days after they missed out to namesake Phil to Manchester United.
Liverpool paid an initial £20,000 to Plymouth although add-ons would see the deal rise considerably higher for the Welsh youth international.
Jones has progressed rapidly for the club despite Dalglish's departure - , impressing with their Under-18s before becoming a regular with the Under-21s.
Jones was then handed a squad number by Brendan Rodgers and named on the bench for their Premier League match with Fulham, to further emphasise his potential.
On the back of being included in the squad, Jones has also been offered a new three-year deal to commit his future to the Liverpool.
Not 18 until October, Jones could very well have made his league debut before his birthday.
He is a commanding centre-half who, stature and skill wise, is well beyond his tender years. His main feature is his dominance in the air - but he is anything but a lumbering giant.
Graceful when in possession, many onlookers at Melwood have likened him to legendary figures such as Ron Yeats and Alan Hansen, which is just some indication of how high a regard Jones is held in.
The scout says...
A real gem of a young defender, Liverpool know they could very well have something really special on their hands in Jones.
And the player himself could not want for a better place to learn his trade and be given time to progress - this lad won't be moving, but is certainly one to remember.
The Scout rating...
Shooting: 6 out of 10
Passing: 6 out of 10
Tackling: 7 out of 10
Heading: 8 out of 10
Pace: 7 out of 10
Vision: 6 out of 10
Current ability: 6 out of 10
Potential ability: 10 out of 10
OVERALL SCOUT RATING:56/80

Potential value: £30million

Word on the street here in Portugal is that Sporting have promoted a promising CB from their youth academy, into the first team squad.
Tiago Ilori on the way out perhaps?
The media is also reporting Liverpool's interest.

If we really have put in a 40m release clause that is appalling on our behalf.

Certainly we'd struggle to replace Suarez and still turn a significant profit from a 40m deal. According to Liverpool he hasn't expressed any desire to leave to the club, it's all media talk and Suarez has stated he intends to stay with Liverpool. As far as I'm concerned this is more of Madrid's usual dirty, unethical tapping up.

If he goes (abroad) I don't mind - I thank him for his excellent service and wish him all the best. Of course he's a phenomenal player, but we lose good players all the time. I'm confident we can be stronger as a unit next year if he chooses to leave. That said, I don't think it's 100% that he's going to leave - but I wouldn't blame him if he did. He can't just be a footballer in England anymore.

I thought you were one of the few who were adamant that his future was at Liverpool. Not entirely sure it was you though.

Well yeh I don't think any English club would be interested really. Sure City would be linked with him but I don't see any club in England either being able to pay for him or want the shit that he brings.
My money is on Madrid or he stays. I can't see Bayern signing him.

With 65m from the sales of Carroll and Suarez we could buy any player in the world outside of Messi and Ronaldo.
We as a fan base don't seem all that worried about the potential loss of Suarez and you can almost imagine Brendan secretly wanting to cash in on him.

We proved with the capture of Suarez and now Coutinho that we can still bring in top class talent.
Anyway, when have we ever bought a big name star? I honestly can't think of any player that has been renowned as world class when we bought them. Torres was the closest thing to it but even then he wasn't really 'world class' before he came here. Masch, Suarez, Xabi, Sami, Agger, Kuyt they all came in without massive reputations and became crucial members of our XI.
We've never bought a 'world class' players, a la RVP to Utd.
Look what Arse did, they lost RVP but brought in Santi, Podolski and Giroud who all did really well. Hopefully we can do something similar.

Yeah take it from someone well versed in losing big name players, it's definitely not the end of the world.

 So he almost HAS to go overseas if he decides to leave. And if he didn't...well, that would be a spectacular slap in the face.
