The club gave Suarez, Reina and Coates 3 weeks off. They'll join up with the squad in Australia, July 22nd.

All the Suarez stuff has been blown out of proportion as usual, hardly anyone reported the countless times he said him and his family loved Liverpool, club, fans and city. He was told if he was serious about leaving he had to let the club know directly and he hasn't.

The Echo reported today that it would take a transfer request from Suarez, followed by a bid in excess of £45m for the club to even consider selling him.

He looks the business mate. Boss. Looks like he's found a new roomie to replace Carra as well.

Kolo!

I'm telling you mate I'm feeling really good about this upcoming season,I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas,It's ridiculous
Anyway,regarding the Mkhitaryan protracted transfer saga,It's looks as if he can buy out his contract for £19.5 mil,and if that is the case you start to see why It's taking so long to tie up this deal.
Scenario: He buys out his contract becomes a free agent we reimburse him with a massive signing on fee,his club is absolutely pissed and we're happy days
That's seems to be the talk right now.....But who knows,talk is cheap (unlike his price tag )

Yeah sounds pretty close that mate. We can only go on what we hear from the best sources, hopefully he'll be wearing Liverpool red next season. Shakhtar are an unbelievably wealthy club. Their owner's one of the top 50 richest people in the world, they'll be in no hurry to sell another of their top players.



Found this little piece on him earlier...


A player of Mkhitaryan's calibre joining a club outside the Champions League would have been unthinkable in a prosperous European football scene in which genuine spending power on the continent extended beyond a meagre dozen clubs.

I've still to come across a chief scout or sporting director from European clubs of a certain standard that has not placed Mkhitaryan very near the top of his summer wish list, but £20m plus for one player is proving hard to cough up on the continent these days.

The 24-year-old Armenian is blessed with a somewhat unconventional playing style. Though usually deployed rather deep in his attacking midfield role his quick feet, positional awareness and ability to exploit spaces and successfully execute actions in a snap second make him extremely hard to predict – and a lot more "concrete" and direct than the typical attacking midfielder. Add to that a high goal-scoring rate through the capability of finishing immaculately with both feet, as well as setting up his team-mates with an accurate killer pass, and Mkhitaryan could turn into a genuine Premier League hit.

And the plot thickens

Liverpool set to miss out on No1 summer target Henrikh Mkhitaryan
• Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder in talks with Dortmund

• Armenian close to £21.5m move, according to reports

Liverpool look set to miss out on one of their prime transfer targets this summer with Henrikh Mkhitaryan likely to join Borussia Dortmund instead. The German club sent a delegation to Donetsk on Friday with the chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke and the sporting director Michael Zorc reportedly striking a deal believed to be worth €25m (£21.5m) for the midfielder to join the Champions League runners-up.
Brendan Rodgers had earmarked the Armenian as a key recruitment this summer but it now appears that he will have to look elsewhere to strengthen his midfield. There was no news on whether the player had agreed personal terms with Dortmund but the German club have money to spend after selling Mario Götze for €37m to Bayern Munich and Watzke said recently that the club may spend up to €50m this summer.
Dortmund have already signed the defender Sokratis from Werder Bremen for around €8m and the striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from St Etienne for €13m.
Liverpool have so far brought in Luis Alberto (Sevilla), Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo), Simon Mignolet (Sunderland) and Kolo Touré on a free transfer.

Ninety-six men, women and children died as a result of the Hillsborough Disaster on 15 April 1989. On 12 September 2012 - after a 23 year battle for justice and the truth - an independent panel report was published. The report revealed the true extent of the cover-up of official failures at Hillsborough. The High Court subsequently quashed all the original inquest verdicts for the 96 and ordered new inquests. Broudie Jackson & Canter act on behalf of some of the families and are looking to speak to witnesses and survivors of the disaster.

Mkhitaryan's signing for Dortmund. Sounds like a done deal.

We're not after Atsu anymore either.

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/foo...an-4872281

Atsu is no better than Sterling or Ibe mate, it is no big loss, I am happy that we will give Ibe and Sterling a chance, what is the point otherwise in the academy producing players then just going and sign players from other places who arent as good? as for Mkhitaryan I don't even think we were really ever in for him, I just think the media making stories and people getting carried away.

There are many other players that we can buy this summer who will make us a better team, I think deal of the window so far is Paulinho to spurs, he will be great for them, I think we maybe should have concentrated on signing him maybe.

I think maybe now we will try and sign Erikkson if Dortmund have sign Mkhitaryan.

We were defo interested mate. We were in talks with Shakhtar for two weeks. Mkhitaryan was Rodgers' number 1 summer transfer target.

A few journos, usually on the ball when it comes to Liverpool were pretty confident we would get the deal done eventually.

Big blow.
