Liverpool will attempt to secure the signing of the Real Sociedad midfielder Xabi Alonso this week after agreeing to sell Danny Murphy to Tottenham Hotspur for £2.5m.

Anybody got any more news

Got one:

LIVERPOOL are still weighing up a move for wantaway Valencia striker Mista in a bid to reunite the hitman with former boss Rafael Benitez at Anfield.

Mista, the reigning Spanish champions’ top goalscorer last season, broke off contract talks with the club as it was thought he was unhappy with the terms offered. Liverpool are keen to reunite Mista, who netted 31 goals last term, with his former boss Benitez at Anfield. Mista had made a verbal agreement with the Mestalla club, only for him to controversially break it on returning from holiday, leading Valencia to suspect he had been approached by a third party. Liverpool have been mooted as Mista's most likely suitors as the opportunity to be reunited with Benitez - who took him to Valencia from Tenerife - could prove tempting for the 25-year-old. Manchester United have also previously been linked with a move for Mista. It has also been whispered that Liverpool may use their own wantaway striker Milan Baros as bait to tempt Mista to Anfield.

Rumours, on the discussion board of the LFC supporters club in Norway, predicting Owen-exit to Spain. Barca and Real mentioned. Members here claim that theese roumors are verified by "trustworthy sources". I can`t say that I have too much faith in them, but must admit that St. Michaels signature on a new contract is needed to secure my good nights sleep...

BTW, what are you addict to?

Nowadays, due to all the speculations on new signings and rather "shocking" exits, I would benefit on a fair amount of sedatives

by **anfieldadorer** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 10:39 am

If the speculation goes on, may i also benefit a bit fair from you?

by **addicted norwegian** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 10:57 am

That wouldn`t be a problem. I hope I don`t risk my neck by claiming that here I`m amongst friends, and what kind of a friend would I be if I didn`t help out in times like this.. And besides, there are important matches ahead; If I spent all on myself I`d risk missing out on highlights of the seasong. Can`t have that, now can we

Spurs Pull Out of Murphy Deal

By Jamie Gardner, PA Sport

Tottenham have pulled out of talks to sign Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy because they could not guarantee him first-team football, according to the north London club.
:Oo:

by **Voices from Yates** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 2:04 am

This is starting to get tedious and lacks some class on behalf of LFC. Danny deserves better.

On the mercenary side, I'm not sure what they will do, and does the $$$ for Murphy impact/stall any imminent purchase of players?

by **Scousewil** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 12:07 pm

Dunno but Charlton are well keen on him and he'l definately go somewhere fast with guaranteed first team action... ope so anyway

by **stmichael** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 12:10 pm

it worries me slightly that we seem to be about to lose part of the english spine of our team. gerrard and carragher will be the only ones left.

by **anfieldadorer** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 12:42 pm

more sedatives, addicted_norwegian?

by **addicted norwegian** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 2:00 pm

By now I myself was about to add on with prozac, but then the news indicating that we`re in pole position when it comes to signing Alonso, started ticking in, so I think I can stay in there for a little while longer just clinging to the sedatives

I can`t remember being so nervous before; This rollercoaster of roumors can`t be healthy in the long run :upside:

Really looking forward to tonight though!!!
