15-20mil apparently

good deal for everton IMO although I am a little sad to see him go.

Hopefully this gives us some money to spend on senior quality players. Another CB would be nice

United closing in on RVP

Look at our strikers/wingers/attacking mids now.... Welbeck, Rooney, Kagawa, Valencia, Young, Nani and maybe RVP  :D
Scholes can get a good strike away too  ::)

Big rumors circulating that Liverpool will sign Nuri Sahin and Cristian Tello on season long loan deals in the next 48 hours.

[My Chumps]

I wish we could actually sign Tello rather than loan him  :P

[MTTY]

As do i. How do you see us lining up MC?

[My Chumps]

With or without Sahin and Tello?

Without it should be something like

                     Reina
Johnson - Agger - Skrtel - Enrique
                    Lucas
          Gerrard      Allen
Suarez                         Downing ( ::))
                   Borini

OR:

                  Reina
Johnson - Agger - Skrtel - Enrique
           Lucas   Allen
Suarez       Gerrard     Downing
                  Borini

Although hopefully Tello can take Downing's spot, and Sahin could slip in where Allen is situated.
Back 4 is pretty much set in stone  8)

Your team MTTY?

[MTTY]

Without, i'd say

                  Reina
Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Enrique

                   Lucas
           Gerrard    Allen

Suarez          Borini          Downing/Sterling


With


                   Reina
Johnson,  Agger,  Skrtel,   Enrique

                   Lucas
            Sahin      Allen

          Suarez        Gerrard

                   Borini

Eitherway i can't see Tello starting, unless Allen is dropped to the bench and then he takes Gerrard's spot in the 2nd line up. But then it reverts back to two wingers instead of attacking mids, with Tello on the left.

[My Chumps]

Yeah, fair call.

What do you think of our transfers thus far?

I'm still hoping we can land Dempsey for 8ish mill.

[MTTY]

Yeah i think we've been very productive. BR's had obvious plans and gaps that he feels need feeling and on that part he has done well. Allen and Borini solve two of our main problems from last year with lack of a striker and a gaping hole when Lucas was injured. As you said some speed and an attacking threat would be good. Tello would be great for that speed factor and one of Dempsey or Gaston Ramierez would be great, however the Gaston talk has been down recently, as i think he was more of a KD target.

*btw did anyone else see that Fabrice Muamba retired?  :-X

[CrowsFan]

Hadn't seen that MT, but not surprised by that at all! Wish him well for his future endeavours

[elephants]

Poor Fabrice :( he was quality...

[Tominator]
