Did anyone buy that Mexicano Keeper?

Also hearing that Celtic keeper might be on his way to Southampton.

I wouldn't say he's a major weakness and there are other areas to address but I don't think that much if him. Is keep Reina but that won't happen due to wages. Migs definitely needs some top quality competition though.

The Mexican signed for Malaga.

I don't understand that a player needs to be loaned because of his wages if we need him anyway unless of course the loan is followed by a sale which is guaranteed.

If we take the Reina case, I think that most of us agree that he will give good competition to Mignolet and Jones is not good enough. With the number of games we will be having, we will need both of them and nobody wants to buy Reina for as little as 5m. We will not get a keeper of his caliber for 5m, so why loan him? How can a poorer team than us afford his wages? If we just loan him, we might save on his wages, but, we will need to spend on another keeper both for purchase and wages, doesn't make any sense to me. I also don't think that he will be a problem in the squad, he is a professional.

Reina was loaned out last season because of his wages. That's what I was saying. I think it's stupid and as you say, we won't get anyone as good on the cheap. Migs isn't even as good and he cost £10m was it? Trouble is, there were reports that he and Rodgers didn't get on or fell out so can't see him staying.

It's tough to see how anyone can think of this as an 'excellent' transfer window.

The squad is undoubtedly better, but our first 11 undoubtedly worse. Lovren is an improvement, markovic only MIGHT be an improvement, impossible to tell, other than that, player for player we haven't improved a single position in our first 11 after spending over 100 mill is it now? Whilst losing the third best player on the planet. Very very worried for this season unless everyone steps up their game or Rodgers has found some gems (his track record of finding gems is ashamedly woeful).

The squad improvement was important with champions league football, but he's taken his eye off the real prize, staying in the champions league. And with only definitive signing that improves on last years first 11 (arguably 2), after shelling out 100 million and losing our best player, well thus far it doesn't look good.`

We won't get one Player to improve the first 11 as that would mean improving on Suarez and that means Messi or Ronaldo. We're doing the right thing and a couple more with one being a proven striker will be good enough. And let's not forget, we were without Suarez for the first six games lady year and if he stayed, would have been without him until October and then whenever else he saw fit to bite someone.

I agree improving on Suarez is an impossibility, but that doesn't equate to being unable to improve on the first 11 at all. We have improved a cb position by signing lovren. As there is no suarez, we have (arguably) improved a forward option by signing markovic as we didn't have anyone there. But a lot of money has been spent i.e. 25 mill for lallana which hasn't improved on the position he plays in. So yes we categorically could have improved on certain positions in the first 11. I would expect us to at least improve one full back position by the end of the summer.

Missed Agger

Cast your mind back to the beginning of last season. Saurez was banned, Danny was injured and Borini was loaned out. FSG where very content to let us start the season with just Aspas up front. Fortunately Danny turned a corner just before the season start and although he wasn't match fit he managed to put a shift in. It just goes to show how much of a risk FSG are prepared to take. Personally I think this season, FSG will get found.
