We've signed Jonathan Woodgate (as a scout).

New bid for Benteke rejected. £23m + £7m in add ons. To steal a joke from James Pearce Benteke would have had to win Wimbledon, the British Grand Prix and MasterChef for the £7million worth of add-ons to be triggered.
Doesn't look like we'll be buying anyone else now. So once a compromise is reached with Benteke it looks like we'll be making a profit out of this window. Which is very unusual when you consider we haven't sold anyone we didn't want to. Makes you wonder if we could be saving up for when we're hopefully in a more attractive position, paying for the stand, or just one of those things.
In: Mane (£30m), Wijnaldum (£25m), Karius (£4.75m), Ragnar (£4.2), Matip (free), Manninger (free)
Total: £63.95m
Out: Ibe (£15m), Allen (£13m), Skrtel (£5.5m), Sinclair (£4m), Smith (£3-6m), Canos (£2.5m), Teixeira (£250k), Rossiter (£250k), Toure (free), Bogdan (loan)
Total: £43.5m
Balotelli & Luis Alberto still to go. And Markovic in some kind of deal too it looks. Oh and I'd guess Ilori & Wisdom too.

can't believe we've rejected it, should be grateful that they want to take him off our hands, they'd be silly to offer more.

They just got £25m+ for Bolasie. They have money to spend and eventually get desperate.

Has anyone reputable said that Moreno caused the injury or has it just been some top footy bants?
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he did. They were probably on the same team in the training session n all.

Probably just some bants and its come out that it's a muscle injury rather than impact so that should lessen the time out.
But still, I've had to be reminded that Moreno plays for us today so that's soured it all a bit.

Apparently we betrayed Torres...

Of course we did, our owners were snakes.
The thing is he says that Liverpool were trying to build something and, while it didn't work out as planned, we nearly won the league a couple of seasons after he left. While we probably wouldn't have died up with Sturridge had he stayed, we bought Suarez to give Torres help.

BBC reporting we've reached an agreement with Palace for Benteke. £27m + addons.
Would love a LB and DM to come in before the window shuts.
re: Torres. We had to sell him. A Suarez-Torres partnership would probably be considered illegal.

Torres was already on a steep downward curve before he left Liverpool. Remember him being absolutely awful at the 2010 WC.
