If it's genuine I'd be looking at their surplus players as a large part of the deal.

I can't see where he'd play. I agree only if they threw in some of there fringe players Asaidi. Wisdom and Lucas would be start.

i honestly believe marco has found his level and that is a mid table prem team, that is a better level than some countries champions league teams
he has that somthing special which will interest top clubs but he is prone to an inconsistency and sometimes lazy looking attitude which would put them off
another bollocks story IMO
you dont get many maverick type players at the big english clubs, or they dont stay their long time - eric cantona being one notable exception

It's a big summer for us - feels like the first time since promotion where we have genuine anxiety about outgoings. Damn you Hughes for making us play football the 'right way'!  |

Arnie-Suarez-Coutinho Not a bad front three to be fair! That aside, get fucking bent Rodgers you smarmy, tooth polished, black shirted, egotistical twat! You'll have to pry Arnie from our cold dead hands.  |

Well, with some of the fees being banded about for defenders at the moment and considering his age (resale possible) then I would expect 10m profit on top of what we paid. Realistically if Liverpool are interested (and they're more than likely not) then we won't be able to hold onto him. |

This summer I'd take Sidwell on a free and I would definitely take Billy Jones on a free (always rated him since his Crewe days).
The only money I would spend would be on a goal scorer and Assaidi. I genuinely don't think we need that much.
The major thing for me this summer is simply keeping what we've got. We've finished 9th and played good football so there is always a danger of sharks circling.

We need to go all out and spend some big money if we can find the right player. |

Wonder if they're thinking they can get him in and throw Assaidi in as part of the deal... wouldn't be much in it for us, i'd say Assaidi is likely to be hear next season in any circumstances.

Caught offside just make up random transfer stories and I don't think one has ever come true, Arnie won't go anywhere!

Arnie-Suarez-Coutinho Not a bad front three to be fair! That aside, get fucking bent Rodgers you smarmy, tooth polished, black shirted, egotistical twat! You'll have to pry Arnie from our cold dead hands. What happens to Sturridge then or are you playing him up front on his own backed up by the above trio? |

He'd be a fool to go to Liverpool so soon after arriving in England, he needs to stay at Stoke for another couple of years at least and do the business and make sure that if he does move to a bigger club he's moving to start the games not warm the bench. He's had one ood season that started slowly, repeating that over 3 consecutive seasons will only enhance his Premiership profile.

He wants to be careful of their playing surface as well for picking up injuries, it's a bit slippy at Anfield, ask Gerrard

I doubt that he would be in the Liverpool starting 11 though and as he has already shown some frustration when on the bench here - he needs to be somewhere where he gets to play for most of the time.
That could happen at the clubs immediately above us, but not in the top 6 imo
Test of MH s / the clubs skill to see how well we do hold onto our top players

This season I'm not going to take anything into account from any website or newspaper because it's 99% likely to be bullshit.
I'll stick to believing things could happen when one of them on facebook get a pic of a player at the ground or when SSN shows a player at the club.

Defensively better than Johnson anyway. |
