well no harm in a trial

He was excellent against Belgium.

It's the Metro though, so you can't take it seriously.

Plus if we signed a young American star it would be huge in marketing terms with the interest the Americans showed in this World Cup.

Delighted to have signed my first professional contract with Liverpool Football Club. #LFC


That's good news, Isn't he the guy who broke Bale's record for Wales youngest international cap? How much should we expect from him, I don't watch too much of the youth games

He's a special talent is Harry Wilson. Needs to be nurtured but will be a star.

I reckon he'll make it. He's got pace, balance, is a strong lad for his age with decent movement and good decision making. Reminds me of Torres.

Yeah Wilson is class.

Bet him and Rossiter make their first team debut this season, even if it's just Cap 1 cup or 5 mins at the end if a game.

I'd fancy our ressies in the league cup for some games.

Rossiter, Brannagan, Wilson and Ibe could be making their first steps. Keep those four and Sterling together (and they keep their heads straight) then LFC will be in business for years to come.

That yedlin was rapid the other night and if he comes on trial then nothing to lose!

Looks like the Arsenal stuff is true sadly.

He was never going to be used in the Suarez deal anyway, which therefore ruled us out of getting him.
I'm a bit annoyed Arsenal will strengthen as an indirect result of us getting weaker.

Whatever happens in the window, it's vital we start the season well to make Suarez forgotten quickly.

Sanchez will have a bidding war for him signature when he officially becomes available. As soon as that happens Arsenal will be out of the running too.

He has been officially available all summer.

Not really. It's been rumours up until now as Barca are closing in on Suarez. The oil rich clubs let other sides negotiate and then they muscle in which is what will happen with Sanchez.

Juve were negotiating before the World Cup even started.

Lovren keen to join us, is it only me who thinks it's going to be a pricey deal should it happen?

I'm put off because he's gone to the media to try and force a move, hate it when players do that, if you want to leave then you request a transfer and keep it within the club.
Also don't think he's that much better than what we've got, if we're going to sell one of Agger/Skrtel for around £10m then sign Lovren for around £18m (No more) then it would be a good piece of business.

I like Markovic.

Players talking in the media about a move is not exactly rare.

We won't like in a few years if Lovren does it to us to get a move to Real or Barca, but that's football.

To be fair to him, if there is any truth that Southampton didn't even inform him about bids, then you can understand him being fed up.

If Lovren is on some beach on leave then why would Southampton need to inform him until he returns? Especially when we have not matched there asking price?

Let's be honest his behaviour has been poor if you believe what's been reported.

Also if they have no intention of selling him do they have to inform him? Probably won't request a transfer so he won't lose his loyalty bonuses.

I'd consider it poor form if the club had not told me. It's a life changing situation and you're going to find out anyway so I find it a bit disingenuous to not inform the player bordering on rude. It's his career.

But if they have no intention of selling, which is understandable as they've already sold Lallana, Lambert and Shaw, what is the point of informing him especially when he's on holiday?
