I'd be extremely sad if Mata joined Liverpool, would love to see him at United. Class player and probably one of the few that dont already play for Barca or Real.

You have enough players :p I really hope he does come to us would be a great player and would be awesome for us plus be another special signing like Suarez was imo but i think earlier we get him the better.

If its true and Valencia would take 20m then just offer it i wouldn't want Comolli going in very low as he is a player that many many clubs would come in for so we would need to tie it up very quickly.

I doubt he would join Liverpool, I expect he will want Champions League football...

He may well do which we cant offer yet but am sure next year we can so if he was willing to wait a year we would be okay.
 
He still has to want to go to other clubs so even if Chelsea/City offer crazy amounts doesn't mean he would go there.

TalkSportFail.com saying were in pole position for Jefferen Suarez from Barca so im guessing that's them making stories up again.

You're confident Liverpool will finish in the top four?

It's certainly possible but it's going to come down to how well Villas-Boas gets Chelsea playing and if Arsenal sign anyone decent.

Yup im confident, Id rather be over confident doesn't always end well for me mind :p

Arsenal i dunno i don't reckon whilst Wenger is their they will ever spend big just go for the youth and hope it pays of. City will struggle too with the away games right after Champions League too imo and who knows might be one year wonders like Spurs.

Not sure on Chelsea wait and see how Villas-Boas does but i do think he is a good manager still reckon he will be sacked at some point though like every one else for em.

I'd love nothing more than a Mata bid to be submitted. Hope it's bloody massive and we offer the bloke big wages. He's going to be a massive player, just hope us not being in Europe for the next season doesn't sway his decision to much.
 
Nothing hurts more than quoting twitter on this forum although this has The Times embedded in it so i'm asking for confirmation from a member who has a FT job and can therefore afford the subscription, to confirm it is true!

The Times reports that Liverpool expect to complete the signings of Charlie Adam and Stewart Downing by next week for a combined £24m.

It doesnt make much sense given the individual prices involved.

Its a hell of a total year spend though, in pursuit of capturing, if not the cream, then certainly the skimmed milk of English football.
 
Liverpool expect to secure the signing of Charlie Adam in the next 48 hours, with Stewart Downing also moving to Anfield in deals totalling about £24 million.

Damien Comolli, the Liverpool director of football, was in talks with Karl Oyston, the Blackpool owner, yesterday to conclude a deal for Adam. Blackpool have been holding out for £10 million for the outstanding player during their relegation from the Barclays Premier League last season, but Liverpool expect to pay about £8 million plus add-ons.

Kenny Dalglish, the Liverpool manager, is an admirer of Adam and despite interest from Aston Villa in the Scotland international, the player has his heart set on a move to Merseyside.

To Adam’s dismay, a £7 million bid from Liverpool was rejected in a frantic end to the January transfer window, but relegation to the npower Championship has forced Blackpool to accept that the player will leave two years after he joined from Rangers for £500,000. Liverpool hope to confirm the move this weekend.

Dalglish will have to work out how to accommodate a growing number of midfield players in his squad, with Liverpool hoping to secure Downing’s signature in the next few days. The England winger has said that he will not extend a contract that has two years left to run with the Midlands club. Liverpool may have to pay £16 million for Downing, giving Villa a profit on a player signed from Middlesbrough for £12 million in 2009.

The arrival of Downing and Adam, after the signing of Jordan Henderson from Sunderland, will give Dalglish many options in midfield. Steven Gerrard is expected to be fit for the start of next season, while Jay Spearing, Lucas Leiva and Raul Meireles will also have high hopes of featuring.

One solution would be to sanction the transfer of Meireles, despite an impressive opening season in the Premier League. Juventus are interested and are willing to offer Felipe Melo in a part-exchange deal, but Liverpool are thought to want cash for the 28-year-old bought from Porto for £11.5 million in August.
