Still think turning down £6mil was brave, how much do they want for him, wouldn't pay ten mil in a millions year but to flip on it's head Joe Allen has gone for £14m after one decent season.

Andy Carroll not in the Liverpool first team squad for this Sunday and instead is being included in the Devolpment squad that is playing a pre season match against my local team in Ireland. Surely he'll get sick of this soon and join us.

I was thinking of bringing my West Ham jersey down to the match to get him to sign it :D

I know he has been pants, but if we can find the way to motivate him again, he's a decent player

Are you his new agent Heysel? :lol:

I see on twatter that there are rumours that Max Gradel is looking for a move back over here. Would anyone be interested ? Think he would be somewhat cheaper than Jarvis.

He got a pretty rapturous reception when warming up from the crowd at Liverpool on Thursday - but there's not a cat in hell's chance of him fitting in there.

* 7 second ball recovery "rule" that Rodgers has introduced requires high tempo charging about from all ten outfield players

* Reina barred from kicking the ball long - no matter how many attackers closing in....

Seem to remember us wanting him at the start of last season but he ended up moving to Saint Ettiene. I remember him being the best player against us in the 2-2 draw with Leeds. I wouldn't be disappointed if we made a move for him.

Would love Max Gradel just what we need in our front three.

Him or Jarvis would be good signings at the right price, still think we need another top quality forward.

I wouldn't rule this out to be referring to us. :lol: Although Sunderland have been linked with him and could see them doing that.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19214238

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has said he will report an unnamed Premier League club for an illegal approach for highly rated winger Matt Phillips.

The 21-year-old was one of the stars of Blackpool's run to the Championship play-off final last season.

Holloway told BBC Radio Lancashire: "Somebody's made an illegal approach and we can prove that. They should do things correctly so I'm not happy.

"The Football League and the Premier League will be informed about that."

Threaten him by telling him your surname is Taylor that if he doesn't join us you will get your sister Katie to beat him up. :lol:

El Hadji Diouf joins Colin ****er at Dirty Leeds United.

Some people were just made for each other. Some things were just meant to be.

Hope we get Jarvis just what we need a pacey tricky winger,who also scores goals 8 last season in a terrible team.Jarvis is our new Trevor Sinclair but we can't pay £2m this time the market has risen since 1997 if it takes £9-10m then so be it.Plus he is a darn sight better than Richardson and lower wages.
