Marca are reporting a 50m bid from us for Benzema.

Unfortunately, it's just them reporting on the Metro's story.  So probably nothing in it at all.

Just read that interview - Glenn Johnson is on 110k a week!  Madness.

Thanks for the thrills and spills Luis, and good luck at Barca. 

Right, Rodgers has £75m burning a hole in his pocket, are we going to splash out on a Benzema-type player or will we see players like Bony being brought in to the club?

£64.3m being reported?? Surely not

Lukaku ?

Doubt Chelsea will want to do another "sturidge"

I would like a highet standard of forward too, we need it if we are to maintain our top 4 status and be comfortable with it, tather than battling. Anything other is a backwards step

Sad to see Luis go as he's such a fantastic player but this move suits all parties,we won't be able to get a direct replacement as I think he irreplaceable but could help strengthen the squad.

[kinboshi]

Best striker in the world.  Was inevitable he'd leave at some point, he always wanted to play in Spain for Barca or Real, Liverpool were a stepping-stone to that.  Saying that, he always put in 100% on the pitch for the team.  £75m is a fair whack of money, but Barca still have a bargain.

I'm a United fan, but I'm be sad to see Suarez go. When you weigh up his good moments & bad I think he's comfortably in credit for Liverpool. To think he could have gone for £40m (and a £1...) last season depending on an assessment of his contractual terms too. So £75m in light of all the facts is very good business. The fact is though, they're losing a player who at his best is a footballing genius, and for most of last season that was his modus operandi.

In that respect, I really do think Liverpool need to go out and make a proper marquee signing to be competitive in the title race next season. Sanchez would have been an ideal replacement, and I think anyone finishing above Arsenal next season wins the league. Such a massive signing for them in terms of having a true world class player with the pace to get in behind a defense, their first player of that quality since Henry. When you add in the injuries of Walcott, Ramsey and Chamberlain last season and all 3 likely to be fit for preseason, their squad is going to be very strong for this one.

I think this proves Liverpool really are just a stepping stone club at best for any major footballer in world football.  It's very hard to not see them regress straight back out of the top 4 next season.  Just can't see who they can sign marquee player wise to replace Suar so they have to take a massive step back next season.  Quite incredibly Coral offer 11/10 they finish outside the top 4 next season.  Suggest all the Scousers on here load up so at least you can profit from the obvious regression which is going to occur next season.
