always nice to see our rivals getting to the business of transfers very early in the window. hope we don't repeat last summer's shenanigans

Liverpool have bid for Lallana apparently. Think he'd be a top player for them.

Tbh, I can only see him starting if Suarez goes. Unless he takes Coutinho's spot in midfield.

you do realise that they have 6+ additional games next year from Champs League, and Gerrard is a year older. they will all start plenty of games

Decent player but gut feeling Liverpool is the wrong club for him. Would be another Charlie Adam signing. He's gagging for a move though so he'll want to go to any club that have finished above Southampton.

Lallana is a good player, but their transfer fund is limited and they still need a couple of defenders and midfielders.

Chelsea have agreed a fee for Diego Costa and the deal will be announced in June. - Sky Sports.

I think that one has been done weeks ago, I don't think any other club was gonna get him as soon as Chelsea got involved.

Now it's our turn to go for a forward, Costa is still a bit unproven over a period of time to be paying 40m+

What are all these clubs doing signing players? I thought we all had to wait till after the World Cup?

32m, confirmed as expected.

Have we already wasted this transfer window? Is there a better player out there available for 32million? Why isn't the club taking chelsea on in this deal? Finally, do any of you think Costa can take us to the next level? We decided against Higuain for that reason allegedly. Costa or Higuain?

How do you know the club hasn't? Strong rumours in January we made an approach and were told he didn't want to join us and his agent (who is also Mourinho's) said he would get him a move to Chelsea.

Costa was always going to Chelsea anyway. Too many links between the clubs for it not to happen.

I don't believe anyone would prefer Higuain of those two. If so it would be because of their personalities, Costa is clearly the better player.

Cant believe people are outraged at this 'news'. Was known for months. Player and his agent were holding out on this move since January. Nothing to see here, move along people ...
