Daily Mail (yes not the best source)

BR: "There was an offer two weeks ago of £35m. Two weeks later it is now £40m and £1, I don't think it is anywhere near what he is worth."

BR: "But it is two-fold, really. A player may want to go but then somebody has to pay the value of that player."

BR: "If Arsenal want the player, then they have to produce the value for the player."

Appears that Suarez is staying and will be signing a new contract. Should be confirmed in a few days.

A loan bid (buy at end of loan) was also made to Valencia for Cissokho but that was rejected as they want to sell him outright.

Liverpool adding to the squad wasnt dependant on Suarez Sale.

Good news! Murmurs from the corridors of anfield (well from a member of the medical team) is that they should be ready to conduct a couple of medicals in the coming week or two. Rumour is that we are competing with Roma for Erikkson. With the loss of Mickey, the club will be doing everything to make sure we don't lose out on Erikkson. Rodgers has stated (this is common knowledge) the one area he wants to improve for the first team is the AM position, Erikson is the 1st choice (younger, more potential etc) but the back up plan is Rakitic from Sevilla (Rakitic is disillusioned at the fact that the best players are leaving and feels Sevilla due to their crippling financial position do not have the ambition that he wants).
If Suarez goes we are definitely getting another striker. Sturridge is extremely highly thought of, but the club also wants to ease his burden and with his history of injuries they want to make sure he is managed correctly. In addition, Suarez scored 30 goals last season (roughly) and Brendan wants to add another 20 goals on top of the goals we scored last season. The signings of Aspas, Alberto, signing an AM and return of Borini it is hoped will cover 20 goals plus, but the club are realistic that to expect them and sturridge to also to cover the contribution of Suarez will be expecting too much. Yilmaz has been scouted extensively and is highly regarded and fits the bill, but it all depends on price due to his age. 15 million is the max we will bid for him.(I would love another striker if Suarez leaves - the top clubs all have 4 strikers and I feel Aspas and co are better suited in the attacking positions behind the main striker).
Jorginho is being viewed as being a Creative DM (in the mould of Pirlo). But Verona are playing hard ball and delaying tactics, they know AC Milan have scouted Jorginho.
CB was a priority, but with the likelyhood of Skrtl staying (his wages have put off a lot of clubs - it seems the only option potentially is one of the Moscow clubs), this has been put on a back burner for the moment as we are pretty well stocked in that department. This will only change if Schalke drop their price on Popadum. At the moment Illori is a big target (replace Coates) but with Sporting holding out for a bigger price (hoping other clubs come into play) and their problems with Bruma (potential termination of contract, legal proceedings etc) it seems that Sporting have a lot on their plate and the club is in disarray. Expect this saga to continue, but hopefully we will get our man for 6 million.
Downing is someone who has interested clubs (West Ham the obvious one - and well publicised) but Rodgers recognises his improvement and that he fought to get back into the team. His sale will only be sanctioned if we get a relatively good offer (8/9 million minimum).
LB - Cissokho is being viewed to give Enrique competition - not replace - but Liverpool playing the waiting game, they know he wants to come to Liverpool and Valencia like most Spanish clubs have money issues - 4 million.
PS - expect the Suarez saga to get interesting. PSG will come in (Ibra not happy with the signing of Cavani and the fact that Ancelloti has left - he's thrown his toys out of the pram and he isn't answering any of Blanc's calls - the club have even given Ibra an extended break so he can return to training later - but fear he is engineering a move away - Man City?! - Real aren't a possibility as it seems Ancelloti has an agreement not to sign any players from PSG - Ibra would like to come to the UK - he's annoyed he's never been rated here - he does have an ego)
The transfer merry go round is going to get very interesting over the next few weeks.

I have to say I am a little disappointed at how fickle my fellow fans are. The various Suarez drivel (goofy/buck tooth comments) is really petty. Liverpool fans have had the reputation of being knowledgeable, respectful and fair. Yet it now seems we are no different to the plastic fans we accuse other club fans of being.

In relation to Suarez, in every game he has played for us he has given his absolute. No fan can dispute that. Anyone who saw our last Europa game will have seen how disappointed Suarez was at going out of the competition (probably more so than some of the other players). More than anything when he has put on the shirt he has given everything and more. I respect that and it seem many fans have forgotten that.

All this talk of loyalty etc and him being a traitor. He is a footballer and an employee of the club. He deserves to play at the highest level. Yes he has spoken to the media and said various things, but with a little common sense one would realise that he has been asked questions and has responded to those questions. For a journalist the big question to ask is about his future (hence it is repeatedly asked hence the numerous suarez quotes for wanting to leave as he responds to those questions).

Yes he bit a player and had racism incident etc. He was banned. We still supported him (we are supporters and that is what we do - simple logic). But we expect that he owes us something etc. I think that's just a little deluded.

When Suarez is sold, we will get a lot of money. I personally would like the fans to acknowledge that he gave his all to the club. And instead of being fickle, recognise that this is football. players come and go. Its life.

Hugely disappointed with the news Mickey won't be coming as goal scoring midfielders are a rarity. However no player is irreplaceable. the AM is a position we do need a huge improvement on. Shelvey failed there. Hendo is good, great engine etc but I don't see that being his best position. I would love to see both Jovetic and Erikkson come in. Both fit the profile (young, hugely talented, sell on value etc). Jovetic was someone we looked at in Rafa's time and I am a huge fan. With Juve getting Tevez and Llorente and Arsenal getting Higuain, it a seems he would be available. Both are fleixible and can play a number of players.

Rumours coming from the club are that we have set our sights on Ivan Rakitic who would be a cheaper alternative and with Sevilla having sold a couple of players, Rakitic feels the club haven't shown the ambition to improve on Last year. His agent has given indications to us that he would be willing to move to us.

I do like the players we have bought so far, but do feel that there is a lot more to happen in this transfer window.
