@Gaz1892 maybe another keeper but can't see much happening. More outgoings than incomings now

Liverpool, Tottenham and Juventus made a late attempt to sign Alex McCarthy but the Reading goalkeeper is expected to have a medical this morning to complete a £3 million deal with QPR

Napoli are in talks to sign Daniel Agger, the Liverpool defender

The Napoli/Agger link won't go away.

Problem is mate, Napoli like most Italian clubs don't want to pay for our players .... just loan them.  Maybe offer them a swop Agger and Lucas for Higuain. 

Anybody else hate how sky sports and the likes seem to say we got £65m for Suarez, yet say we paid £25m for Lallana, £20m for Lovren and £20m for Markovic. Have they even checked JD's figures?

You'd think they would have learned their lesson by now. Napoli's ignorance in not shelling out a few million on Reina has cost them a huge amount of Champions League money, as their keeper had a 'mare in the second leg of their play-off round.

He looks like a wannabe midfield player playing centre half from the video (David Luiz). Maybe they have him in mind as a defensive mid? To be fair we do need one.

Well it seems that way, I thought of him being a DM watching the vid myself because he'd be comfortable on the ball and fast to close down players and technically great all round from what I saw on 1 youtube video alone, I was impressed because I've never seen anyone quite like that player who plays at ease both ends of the pitch.
I know it's just one vid but for that money he looks a very useful player. Someone who could go on to be worth a lot, because he's still young.

if the link that we're in negotiations is true that is.
 just shooting the breeze n all that, curious if we'll be doing any more business before the window closes.

Conz S raised the point about sky news.  I'm always hearing negative spin on any news story regarding lfc.Sometimes, I try to look for the positive in the story but can't find it.  A good example is our transfer dealings.  Sky always quote us as having paid a higher price than we have paid to buy a player; then they understate the sale price of a player we've sold (Luis t£65m being the latest one).  Maybe the club needs to get a bit closer to some of the sky journo's, certainly the news editors thats for sure.

Brendan saying a few more out. If they are there when the window closes, it is because they decided to stay. Also says that any more in is unlikely.

It does annoy me mate, I don't mean to sound like the world is against us but I notice these things day in, day out. Maybe I just look for it now, who knows. I wonder if fans of other clubs feel the same way.

Regarding Sky, they are just sh*t stirrers. They don't have anything against us, they like to wind up all the big clubs' fans. I don't even check them. When was the last time they broke a significant story which turned out to be true? (even as I type this I can tell that some anorak has list ready to post to prove me wrong  )

Jack Robinson has gone to QPR for £1 million

I want to see him kick on I actually rated him above Kelly and Flanno at one point.

Apart from Flannas would appear our academy doesn't produce many first teamers.

I just get the impression that the PL set up with Utd Chelsea and City in domination suits Sky. 
They almost seem to revel in it at times.  I don't know whether there's any financial link between Sky and any of the above (i'm sure there probably is'nt), but I also get the impression that a resurgent LFC just does'nt suit the media at all and Sky in particular.  Its like they think we've had our day and should now just lie down and accept that the past is the past.  It makes me as a fan want to fight back every time.
It must make the owners, Brendan and the full management team and players absolutely livid.  I'd put some of the Sky stuff in the dressing room before every game.  It'd make the players run through walls to score goals.

Most academies don't but it does make a tidy bit of money plus puts us in a great position to unearth the next Stevie G or Robbie Fowler.

Regarding the transfers this window, I'm really happy - mainly because we have added depth for what seems like the first time in literally ages, but that these already good players can only get better.

It's not like 2011 where we bought players in their absolute peak, and whats more - they were detrimental to the club such as Carroll, Downing, Adam.

I really think we've invested wisely this time around, and that these investments will be useful to us next season and the season after that. Since these Brits we bought in 2011 were already at their peak, a bad season pretty much assured us they were spent players.

Apart from Flannas would appear our academy doesn't produce many first teamers.

Like heimdall said, not many academies do. The most ideal situation for any football academy is to see its talent rise straight to the first team. Fundamentally though, an academies role is to provide kids with a good football career at any club and I think Melwood does that better than most.

Apparently Alex McCarthy to QPR isn't done yet and we are still interested in bringing him here.

Not watched him a lot but I remember him having an absolute stormer against us a couple of years back, think it might have been Brendan's first season in charge.

I'd be happy with that. A decent young keeper - not going to steal migs position overnight, but would strongly challenge him later on.

im afraid 1m along with 1.5m for Kelly is not enough considering the appearances they have had. No offence but there are players in division one with no experience of playing premier league or being involved with such a big club going for more £

we are still interested in bringing him here.

According to?

Are we done or does anyone think theres a surprise in store before deadline day?

I'd have said no by the way Rodgers basically ruled out anymore signings but then he also completely ruled out Balotelli and said categorically that he wouldn't be a Liverpool player so who knows.

Only transfer I think might come off is Reus, everything else is dead apart from outgoings.
