To be fair, none of us know for sure, the reason this happens every year is that Liverpool does and pretty much has had a wall of silence come transfer time. Even if we are planning to pull something off, whether it be big or small, it is not uncommon for all public statements to deny any action. It's just the way we and a lot of other clubs except Spurs and Chelsea operate.
So until the window shuts unless your related to Rafa, Purslow the puppet, Hicks, Gillette etc, we'll have to wait and see.
Remember Simao!
