Should try and match it. could work in our favour the fact that we wanted him in the summer, but hard going up against a side currently top of the league and still in the champions league

He doesn't want to come to Liverpool sadly. He said as much in the summer when we made a bid.

its not that he didn't want  to come to Liverpool, he wanted to stay at Atletico...

from Spanish website, translated:

According to Costa, he had fought so hard in order to earn a spot in the first team Atletico. Having now a mainstay of Los Cholconeros, the Brazilian did not want to just walk away.

"I had a chance to go. I almost did it," said Costa told Mundo Deportivo.

"Liverpool are a great team. But, after fighting for so long and through the difficulties of getting a place at Atletico, how can I go?" he says.

"I think it's important for me to continue to grow at this club and play here for many years to come. Here I gained the trust and respect of the people,"

however, his stock has risen so much now, don't think we'll get him.

We haven't signed anyone yet. This is terrible

Heard that we are in for kolou?  Together with arsenal.

saloman kalou     let arsenal have him 

I rather have Salah

disapointed we havent at least secured one target yet.
the salah deal has hit the skids with the clubs unable to agree a fee, barca have said no to loaning tello in january and apparently chelski are unhappy with the way we have treated moses and now wont give us bertrand

these windows are too long imo, clubs should only have 2 weeks in jan and a month in the summer in which to get deals done

They've got to be kidding with this Kalou thing, surely?

I'm totally utterly against signing this Salah. Seems to be all tricks and no end product... how many times have you seen him in his highlights youtube video (and mind you that's his highlights) losing the ball at the end of the dribble... or being out muscled?

other than those vids on you tube i have never seen the lad play.
he seems to be another rodgers type signing though, one that wont instantly improve us and we will more than likely overpay.

but.. but... he scored 2 goals against Chelsea, he must be worth it 

He's a tricky little player. Difficult to get the ball off him once he starts going for it. I remember watching him thinking 'fek me this lad has talent'. I think he'll surprise a few

Using reverse psychology he must be good and would be a valuable addition to our team as you said virtually the same as above about Coutinho.

I think it's a salah move too but I rather have Salah than Kalou.

Liverpool set to sign Sean Garnier on a free transfer.
