The Official Liverpool 2013/14 Season Thread

Brendan has been very quick off the mark with signings for the new season:
Aspas
Kolo Toure
Luis Alberto 
Simon Mignolet

I`m not sure how good the above signings are as If I`m honest I`m not familiar with any of them apart from Toure, However It`s a positive start and for (reportedly) less than £24m for the lot.
Let`s hope we see some more progress this season.

I mentioned Aspas and Alberto a few weeks ago.  The `scouting committee` seem to have been busy - and nice and early too.  Coutinho was an incredible find.  Admittedly, only from youtube but they both seem fantastic buys!  Neither will be a regular straight away I don`t think.  Alberto had a great season for Barca B and nobody could believe they didn`t take him on - if only to sell at an instant profit.  But that will do for the £8m or so buys - we need other quality too.
Mkhitaryan looks a fantastic buy if we get him (or find him lol).  A couple of £20m or so players too will be nice. :)
Writing on the wall for Downing now and. despite what they say, surely Reina`s on his way too.  Can`t afford to have an 8-10m keeper on the bench - although Jones is pretty ****.
Spearing and Shelvey away too hopefully.

We will pay the price but we will not count the cost..

Heard we`ve signed Mkhitaryan. Nothing on any websites though.
£25m...
Looks like he`s chosen DortMund now... :-(

Seems a mad one to let him go on loan for a year.

Suppose if it saves his wages of about £4.5million a year instead of sitting on the bench it makes more sense.

Given Napoli have all the Cavani money I would have tried to push for a permanent move though.

I seriously doubt Barca will want him.
'D'best keeper in d'world' may be only 30 but he seems to have been getting worse rather than better for a couple of seasons now.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

Season before last he was quite poor and the beginning of last season carried that on.  He had a great second half of the season though.
Going to Barca was a given not too long ago until Valdes changed his mind and said he was staying another year after the Monaco move didn`t happen.
That`s why this all makes sense to me - a loan back to Rafa, saving £5m in wages and off there in a year.

I don`t see it as a `mad` move either as I can`t see us having 2 keepers of such quality.  £5m a year is silly money for a keeper.  Mignolet, I imagine will be on around half that.  Out on loan, playing every week is much better for a future move.
None of this is official though.  Maybe Valdes will change his mind again and he will go..

Liverpool Vs Stoke City  SPOILER:
1-0
Very encouraging performance, Mignolet look very nervous early on but pulled off a few good saves.
The first 15 minutes or so we looked very slick going forward I can`t wait until Sturridge is fully fit.

Supposedly signed Ilori (very quick CB but with very little experience) and Given on loan as cover for Mignolet.
Transfer window started so well and early and has fizzled out again.
Henry be wheelng out the apology letter to the fans again.?
