Is Lovren left footed or another way of asking this - can he play right centre half?

Who else out there could we splurge the Luis money on. A sneaky 70m bid for James Rodriguez? He has said he wants to play in Spain but Real are signing his fellow countryman by all accounts and Barca are signing, well eh... You know it makes sense.

Ronnie Whelan on RTE 60m->40m. Regardless of the actual amount, his value has decreased significantly somebody has to pay, if you were FSG would you just accept it and move on?

This is a decision that has cost a commercial entity potentially 20m in value on an asset - the club are well within their rights to bring this the court of arbitration for sport and if need be to the civil court - somebody has to pay!

The fact that it cannot be appealed by the party that suffers the greatest loss is surely 'appealable' in itself

I don't know where I stand on this all but one thing I do know, we look ridiculous if we try to defend this, we cannot be expected to tolerate this kind of carry on - as a club. There was subtle inferences that the club had him in counselling to control his behviour last year and obviously that avenue was closed to him in the most pressure filled environment and he flipped so in that respect its understandable but still inexcusable. One thing is for sure is that this has cost LFC more than anyone - Real and Barca will still happily take him and will be looking to get him for a lot less than what was originally touted as they may realise that him remaining in English football is no longer tenable from the point of view of the player and the club - such a shame as it seems as if he is a nice fella but moments like that just tarnish everything. This is what he'll remembered for and will haunt him for the remainder of his career. So in summary, should we just take whatever is on offer and cash in and get a couple of up and coming stars for a player who is probably just tipping over his peak? Maybe! One other thing, there is a distinct lack of information out there as to when FIFA can impose an outright ban for an on-field discretion like this - I don't think there is any precedent. Will put the club in a really awkward position as any attempt to appeal will look as attempt to defend the indefensible but surely the punishment must match the crime and not be at the whim of the english press - who surely are not well thought of in FIFA circles anyway - so much to ponder!

Sorry man, I only read this thread. There's a thread on pretty much every player and I thought it strange that there was zero mention of it in the sense of an overall view of 'summer 2014 tranfers' - as this could be the main Influence on such matters

Or a thread covering summer 2014 transfers?

Why no mention of Luis on these pages? I don't think the looming threat of Real can be completely discounted. Would we even consider Morata/Isco plus a bucket load of lolly? Or Varane?

Fabregas smacks of a profile signing but I think he would fit in nicely to our squad and provide that big game experience that we will need, especially in the CL. The wishlist is; Top Centre Half (don't think it will be Lovren) Left Back (Moreno) Midfield cover (Fabregas and Lallana) Forward cover (Sanchez and Lambert) That's an outlay of 110m, there's no way we're spending that unless we flog Luis and that's not happening. CB and LB have to be added to so reckon it will be Lallana or Fab and we'll stick with Lambert as cover

I think getting our targets sorted before the world cup is not a priority given we don't have a competitive game until the league starts. Get the right players in at the right price. I don't see any need to overpay. We will get 3 or 4 in during the summer and keep some in reserve if there's a need to splurge in jan

Great signing, ticks every box for what's required.

Some of the names being mentioned here are not what we need. BR has said he would take just 2 quality additions over 7 quantity additions. We have plenty of decent quality youth to fill out the squad - suso, borini, wisdom, Alberto, llori

Optimism >>>> Fear I'm surprisingly more calm about it all today and f*** it, this is a bizarre season so who knows....

If villa or west game get a draw and the other result is a 1 goal victory then a 10-0 win does it - its on!

Jesus chr1st

Is there anything left field that BR could do to set them up to go goal nuts - raheem right back?

We'd probably need at least 8 or 9 tonight to bring gd back in to play - that just doesn't happen but if there is one side who you wouldn't put it passed...

Seems like Jagielka and Baines are definitely going to be available eith Distin at 50/50. Obviously Mirralas is definitely out and Barry suspended so most likely Howard Coleman Jagielka Stones Baines Mccarthy Osman Deulofeu Barkley McGeady Lukaku City are full strength it seems

Credit where its due, they did a number on us and within the rules of the game. There's a glorious twist left in this yet and we are still in unbelievable bonus territory regardless

Sturridge for Lucaa surely

#CFC Schwarzer/Azpilicueta Kalas Ivanovic Cole/Matic Mikel/Salah Lampard Schurrle/Ba

Just been woken up from a mid afternoon nap in Malaysia by the repeated cracks of thunder - seems apt WGOA JFW

Everton winning today is key for my insurance setting, if they're out of a chance of 4th then they will throw the towel in and it leaves it wide open for city if the result goes against us tomorrow

Credit Norwich, good effort. Great 3 points, those points win the league
