Commoli Coma.... Stinking Aroma

Well our boys report back for pre-season tomorrow.

Except for Lucas and Maxi who have just started the Copa America. Brilliant idea! I moaned about this last posting so I wont say anymore.

So signings - I quote 'Its going to be a busy summer at Anfield' - Mr Commmoli.
Really? Where is the busyness???? JORDAN HENDERSON for 16 mill???????

NO LEFTBACK. We seem to have lost out on Clichy. We only offered 6mill, Man City 9mill. No pirzes for guessing the winner there. We seem to have been messing around with this one. We either wanted him or we didn't.If we did stump up the cash and move on.

Charlie Adam, twice now we have told it will be done in the 'next 48 hours'. Clearly time in France works differently. Mr Commolli if you have noting to say to the media then dont you just make yourself and the club look stupid. On the Adam deal, like Clichy one, we again seem to be squabbling over a couple of mill. Which is odd considering we couldn't throw our money at Sunderland quick enough for Henderson. The funds from which Bruce has added 6 players to his squad.

We are trying to sweeten the Adam deal by offering Shelvey and Darby on loan. For both these youngsters it will give them good experience and a season with Holloway has got to be priceless just for the laughs!

A rather disturbing caveat to the Adam transfer is that it will signal the departure of Meireles. Apparently he signed on reduced terms on the promise that they would be increased this season.With Hodgson and Hicks gone that seems to no longer be on offer, was he not one of our better players last season? I am distressed by his possible departure.

We still have Cole and Aquilani on our books surely they should be moving on before Meireles???

We keep hearing we want to strengthen the squad, Adam certainly does that. However the selling of Meireles weakens it again. He is arguably our 2nd best central midfielder after Stevie G. Even if you count Adam. Adam and Henderson are not wingers................. So we have about 8 central midfielders now........

The left back focus now appears to on Luis Enrique who is clearly our 3rd choice after Baines and Clichy attempt have failed. I quite like hime so hopefully that goes ahead. Pardew may even be dumb enough to accept Konchesky as a part exchange!

Still dont see any wingers. Cant play 4-4-2 without them. N'Zogbia is would still be my #1 choice as he can play on both flanks.James Milner is a name being bandied about. I quite like him he has a great workrate offers decent crosses from both flanks and can take some of the 'Duracell Bunny ' workload off of Dirk.

The Liverpool website brags that we have been linked with 66 players in June, yet only 1 has signed. ManUre have been linked with 5, 3 have signed. There seems to be a more coherent approach from Crappinton. All 3 of their signings make them stronger. So far I cant say the same for our 1 overinflated signing.........

Also looking back at the Torres deal we seemed to be adamant about getting teh £50mill to fund Carroll deal. We were offered £45mill and Sturridge. That looks like something we should have done, we could have put a deposit on Carroll,let him finish teh seeaon and then got him on reduced fee this summer. Sturridge,Suarez,Carroll and Kuyt, now that would have been firepower. All different but all capable of playing with one another.

I see Chelsea have decided to add the services of Torres' personal trainer. He did such a good job keeping Torres out teh team for us, perhaps Boas Villa has seen the complete lack of impact he has on the pitch these days! Excellent news for the rest of the Premiership, expect a raft of ankle and knee injuries and 'prima donna dont give a fuck attitude' to ripple throughout the squad! Oh wait...........

Defoe would be a good one if we could. They are talking less than 10mill for him. We could offload Ngog then.

Off to Vegas during the week. Hopefully the fact that it will be a 'busy week at Anfield' comes to pass, as much for the arrival of quality player as the departure of the raft of useless ones.
