Linked with Rodwell now. Weird.

Downing, Adam and Wickham apparently all going to be coming in about a week.

:lol: anyone who signs Downing for anything above 12m is crazy.

Fixed.

Downing's a waste of money and doesn't bring anything to the team. Bring in Mata if you want a left-sided player.

Wickham and Adam I'm happy with, but only if they wrap it up sharpish, no more of this back-and-forth in the media tripe.

We'll have to wrap up Zapata in the next week or so, or we'll be waiting until well into August to do a deal for him.

Rodwell would be amazing. :D

I can't say I'm into the idea of signing an Everton player. I don't consider the rivalry to be vicious, but I don't like the idea of an Everton player in a red jersey.

(now someone mentions Carragher #-o)

Had to be done.

Carragher was never an Everton player though.

He has been at Liverpool for over twenty years.

It's really irrelevant.

Yeah, Carragher is irrelevant. 21 years at Anfield pretty much precludes him from being considered Evertonian. As you say, he never turned out for them. But of course some muppet has to post that picture :roll: It's as inevitable as Guest looking for arguments, or seriously posting something stupid.

Err...Pretty sure that's Steven Gerrard...

I was thinking of this photo. Don't mind me.

Yeah, Google search after I posted explained it. So that makes two. Does anyone in Liverpool actually support Liverpool as a child???:p

Owen and Fowler were Everton supporters in their youth.

Michael Owen's father actually played for Everton.

Most of these guys would have supported Everton as kids because their parents did.

The upcoming generation of Liverpool lads - Kelly, Flanagan, et al. supported Liverpool as lads.

Valencia confirming a friendly between us at Anfield... part of the Mata deal? Here's hoping.

Really hope we sign Zapata too.

It would be unusual for it to be a part of the Mata deal and be played AT anfield.

But is it just a coincidence? I doubt it.

we had a friendly against Atletico apart of the Torres/Garcia deal, No?

I don't think so. Torres joined us in 07, we played the Atletico friendly in 09, but that too was at Anfield.

I'm not sure. It just seems odd to play at anfield when Mestalla is 55k capacity...

is there any genuine interest in Mata coming to LFC?? i know fans (myself included) would love to see him here, but i think its more from fans than any concrete interest....

Many sources have linked us with him. There is definitely something going on, but whether he ends up here or not - I don't know.

KD mentioned him in an interview a few months back and skysports kind of ran with it. I don't know if there has been any offer tabled. My sources around anfield have gone a bit quiet lately and EOTK is on holiday so the transfer rumours are a bit quiet.

Hey lads I know a lot of you don't like spamming, however I would love if you all joined my new LFC Group! It's not an illiterate filled peoples group, there's plenty of wordy discussions on the latest rumours, lineups etc.

Cram it.

Respect to Sunderland fans: http://www.facebook.com/pages/SAFC-want-justice-for-the-96/155823741154661?sk=wall

Newcastle and Chelsea have done the same now. Very nice gesture.

JFT96.

Also:

GAEL CLICHY is ready to rebuff interest from Roma in an attempt to force Arsenal into letting him join Premier League rivals Liverpool.


Serie A side Roma are preparing to trump Liverpool’s opening bid of £5million for France defender Clichy, but he favours a move to Anfield.

His stance leaves Arsenal in a difficult position having let the left-back’s contract run down to within 12 months of its expiry.

Arsene Wenger ideally wants to sell abroad, but is eyeing Newcastle’s Jose Enrique as a possible replacement for Clichy and could reluctantly do business with Liverpool, who are also trying to secure the services of teenage striker Connor Wickham from Ipswich.

Liverpool will have to match Sunderland’s opening £9m offer, but Sunderland’s deal rises to £11.5m depending on the player’s progress and Ipswich owner Marcus Evans is adamant England Under-21 international Wickham will not be sold for less just because he prefers a switch to Merseyside.

Reports today are that we're damn close to doing a deal for Wickham.

fingers crossed Afro :d

looking forward to 1st of July as we are able to move on targets abroad (hopefully Mata and Jeffren) :d :d

We can move for players overseas now, but they can't join the club until July 1st. I don't think that's an issue with the number of players competing at the Copa America.
