I can see you getting more ***** by the day . Chill mate, I'm sure we'll get a few good players in before the transfer window shuts. I wouldn't worry too much about the Suarez to Arsenal thing either. Real Madrid have just sold Higuain and they're in a need of a new striker. Who do you think they'll go after?

Muriel really has the potential to be top draw and is in the Suarez mould, but obviously not at his level yet.. I actually think he is gettable. Udinese are the kind of club that will always sell provided the price is right and I think we would have a very good chance of getting him if we were to move early and a under the radar.

thats not a million miles off tbh, the thought of selling our best player to arsenal is almost too much to take.
i was at one of the F.A cup semi`s in 1980 and i was at anfield in 89 when thomas scored that last minute goal, the thought of being their feeder club is almost beyond the pale.

I don't hate him ,I just wish he would get better lighting in his room .... as they say a brighter room will aid a sunnier disposition,and I
think Benny currently sits in the dark .

Ill brighten up when my club starts to get serious again and show some true ambition to get back into the CL - instead of acting like a mid table club

They could hook you up to a nuclear power plant and install 100 light bulbs to you and you still wouldn't light up.

He looks like a young "fat Ronaldo"

Sounds like Muriel has a problem with weight to. Spoke to a colleague of mine over in Italy and he says Muriel has got massive potential but finds it hard to keep off the pies

muriel is highly rated but i would prefer instant stability in someone like soldado if suarez leaves.

i`d much rather have muriel myself mate, for a start he`d fit in perfectly with what we`ve already got, he`s a goal scoring wide forward where as soldado is an out and out front man, if we sign soldado that means sturridge is pushed out wide to a position where he isnt half as effective. we are not going to spend £25m on a center forward and not play him so as soon as he arrives sturridge is done as a CF.
as i have said a few times one of the few positives to come out of last season was the link up between sturridge and coutinho, some of the best footy we played not just last season but in years was when suarez was out and coutinho and sturridge played centrally (newcastle, fulham away etc).
i`d build on that coutinho/sturridge axis and a very, very quick wide forward with the ability to go past defenders and to score goals would compliment what we`ve already got, not rip it up.

Do not worry, I reckon Rooney will stay.

i dont know too much about muriel tbh, just that he's young and beginning to make a name for himself.
if suarez goes then we are short of a leading man and imo sturride isnt quite ready or experienced enough to lead the line and then there is the physical end of it also. soldado would give us that experience and stability and would be more reliable.
i agree that sturridge and coutinho were fantastic last season and looking good for this one but sturridges injury record worries me. he seems to pick up a lot and has probably being out 3 times since january and might be touch and go for the start also. having him as our most senior striker isnt going to work.
suarez is a massive player for us and replacing his influence with another kid isnt going to propel us at the rate we need to where as soldado should just slot right in and his goalscoring record is right up there.
signing muriel alongside whats already here gives me the impression that CL qualification is a target but not next season.

If Suarez leaves and is replaced with Soldado then we need a top class wide creative forward. Suarez creates so many chances for himself, while Soldado is very sharp in and around the box but will need the right service
