66 players via the rumour mill on LFC.tv and that doesn't include probably the same amount via other sites!

Crazy!

smokescreens and mirrors mate....hope we sign one totally unexpectedly. The Chavs, Ars.e and Scum have it far too easy these days. All they do is go after our targets and offer them silly money but the deciding factor has always been CL football.

That is our aim this season - to get back to where we belong. no excuses anymore.

What complete bullsh1t.

I don't understand those people who say they are going after our targets, its just rumours that we were linked with those players and nothing more.

I know. Do these fans think that if the daily mirror say Liverpool may be interested in signing "player X", then all other clubs must not make contact with him, even if they were already tracking him?


ps - if Man Utd sign some bloke tomorrow called Player X I'll be very cross! :-)

Let's just hope that some rumours do come true in terms of our targets making their signings to Liverpool. I understand it can be very frustrating reading reports that we are signing this player and that player but nothing materialised at all so far. Hopefully some do come true especially this week or next so that he or they can linked with the players and join them for the pre-season training and matches...


Just My Thoughts
YNWA...

Scum decided to bid for Jones when they heard we were after him. They did the same with Evra and Ronaldo. I dont think Citeh was after Clichy, now he is having a medical.

Yes there were some coincidences but the bigger boys do steal some of our targets and that is a fact.

surely all top clubs have the same targets though in terms of transfers. its not like anyone didnt notice jones last season or the fact clichy is available as is nasri.

"Fact" my arse. Answer me a few questions:

How do you know that the other clubs weren't already targetting these players?
How do you know we were even after them?

Unquoted newspapers and websites are woefully unreliable sources of information. You seem to think that if a tabloid/website says "Liverpool are trying to sign *****" then it's true. To highlight my point, you only need to consider the title of this thread in which we are posting......so far this summer we have been "linked" with over 80 players.

Do you believe that we are after them all?
Do you believe for example, that we are after Mata?
Do you believe that we are the first club in the world to spot his talent?
Do you think that if a newspaper says we are after him then any other club "linked" must do their scouting by reading the papers.

Honestly, do NOT believe everything you read in the media.


On a slightly different note, if we WERE after these players, why do you think we haven't we tried to sign them?

Chances are most of these newspapers, websites and twitters just put all the clubs and players name in a hat and say "who shall we link with who today?"

we just get pulled out a lot prior to other clubs buying them
