Allan and Digne will wrap up Liverpool's transfer business this summer. The club are now working hard to get excess players off the books with the striking department being the most over loaded place, Rickie Lambert is expected to leave this week while he will be shortly followed by Fabio Borini. Liverpool aren't finding it so easy to get rid of Mario Balotelli despite lowering the asking price to just half the £16m they paid for him last summer, the club are reluctant to loan but they may have no choice. Crystal Palace have reignited there interest in Jose Enrique and are readying a £3m bid. James Milner, Danny Ings, Adam Bogdan, Joe Gomez, Nathaniel Clyne, Roberto Firminho, Christian Benteke, Allan de Souza and Lucas Digne have all been Brendan Rodgers choices, this is the first year he has had the full say on transfers, so this is really a make or break year for him, FSG clearly has a lot of faith in him and all in all it looks a good window.

Wrong . Digne ain't coming

28 Jul 2015 21:56:07
I can't see Digne coming in.

28 Jul 2015 21:59:52
I find it hard to believe these are all BR's choices. Seems more like the opposite nearly.

Allan is already at the club, he trained with the 1st team squad today.

29 Jul 2015 00:24:39
why would anyone pay 3m for enrique?

28 Jul 2015 23:32:51
Who's Allan? How old is he?

{Ed002's Note - Just an 18 year old who may end up in the Academy team.}

29 Jul 2015 09:53:24
Rumour has it that at least two of the signings are directly as a result of Dave Fallows and Michael Edwards recommendations. Just saying.

{Ed002's Note - You don't seem to be grasping how all of this works. That is their job.}

Is it true Chelsea have an interest in Lucas Digne?

Just been reading on various sources it's between us and them for his signature.

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea are in the process of adding players including a left back, but it is not Lucas Digne they are looking to.

PSG's Lucas Digne has requested a transfer due to lack of game time with AS Roma already placing an offer that was rejected, and Liverpool declaring an interest as well, but not at this time making an offer. Atletico Madrid made enquiries with his agent, but have since signed someone else. His agent says that he understands Galatasaray are also interested but they have not spoken to him or the club at this time. PSG don't really want to sell but are resigned to the fact that he can force a move and, if he does, they will seek what they paid for him. It remains unclear whether the player will look to force a move with a little backtracking from his agent when asked what was going on duringa discussion on Sunday night.}

Hey ed, a speculative question of sorts - with Liverpool declaring an interest, in your opinion would that be as competition for Moreno, or rather a replacement? It would make sense to add a back up left back if Wisdom is getting loaned out AGAIN, but why would we bring an expensive player with expectations of playing time and large potential?
Sorry, I am just confused. Wouldn't mind Digne, but then again Alberto has the potential to become a very good LB, and I am already very unhappy with the treatment Marcovic is getting.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of the club looking to replace Moreno. Wisdom is nothing to do with it as Gomez can cover. O have no idea why Liverpool are looking at Digne, particularly as assurances have been given to Gomez. I cannot see any realistic decent future for the likes of Markovic at Liverpool. The club may see sense in the money they were looking for him but it would need a sudden change of direction for that to happen this summer.}

WOW!!.

There's just no stopping us looking to bring young players in for the academy as we give Agustin Pereira and Juan Manuel Sanabria trials.

Not only have we invested in the first team we have been VERY busy trying to secure the players that will be for the future.

You mean the ones that will never get a chance!

28 Jul 2015 09:12:26
Fantastic, I just feel sorry for them, because at some point when they are ready to join the 1st team, we will probably just buy other 1st team players and not give them a chance.

28 Jul 2015 09:26:14
shame they won't get a game

28 Jul 2015 10:05:59
Isn't the purpose of the new coaching setup there to help bridge academy players into the first team? All you do is whine on this site.

28 Jul 2015 10:20:04
We invest in youth every season.

28 Jul 2015 10:43:29
Like a crèche we are

28 Jul 2015 10:48:28
Nice bit of positivity guys. Who knows these just might make it

28 Jul 2015 11:32:56
Trials are given to players regularly. This is nothing new. Also, it is worth noting it is only a trail and that they remain Nacional players. If they do well in the future, LFC may bring them back for another trial, perhaps even couple of games at youth levels in pre-season, and maybe then sign them.

28 Jul 2015 21:25:05
What about the boys at the Academy. Cost nothing and want it so much more than kid from overseas. We should be pushing Lucas talent

28 Jul 2015 00:01:52
Do any of the Eds know whether we ended up signing Allan from Internacional? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - These things can be protracted, so it is not complete at this time.}

28 Jul 2015 08:27:53
Ah yes I was wondering what happened with that. Looks promising although we already have Chirivella.

28 Jul 2015 21:33:50
He's at Melwood, been training with the 1st team today.
