We are linked with Sebastian Coates (Lugano) from Uruguay

I think he will be a top signing if true

Apparently 95% chance of us getting him. I've only seen him twice, I won't lie, but he looked top, top quality, huge but still super quick.

where does 95% come from?

wiki reckons he's 6 ft 5!!

Not quite 6'5" but just a shade under. Really good player, but young. If he doesn't improve, he'd be a good 4th option. The sky is the limit for this kid though.

Soto has signed for Wolfsburg, we must be in for a new centre half now.

by **damjan193** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 8:55 pm

Yep, Soto's gone, anyone know the fee?

I too thought for a moment there that you people are talking about Diego Lugano

. Good player I like him but he's kind of getting old so we don't need him. As for the kid that you're really talking about, I think he's worth buying. From what I saw at the Copa America this year he seemed like a solid young player and for the right price I think it would be worth a try.

free transfer I'm led to believe

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish targets Uruguayan Sebastian Coates after Sotirios Kyrgiakos's departure
Liverpool have identified the Uruguayan centre-back Sebastian Coates as Kenny Dalglish’s sixth signing of the summer and are confident of completing a £12 million deal for the 20 year-old before the end of the month.

Dalglish’s need for further defensive cover increased on Monday after Liverpool allowed Greek international Sotirios Kyrgiakos to join Wolfsburg on a free transfer.

The 6ft 6 in Coates impressed during Uruguay’s victorious Copa America campaign and has been monitored by Manchester City prior to their capture of Stefan Savic. Currently with Nacional, Coates was due to switch to Brazilian side Sao Paulo, only for the Uruguayan side to pull out of the deal when his profile – and price – rocketed.

Dalglish has also admitted that Liverpool asked too much of Andy Carroll in the immediate aftermath of his club record £35 million move from Newcastle in January and pleaded with supporters only to judge the forward when he is fully fit.

Carroll’s debut for Liverpool was delayed for six weeks after his deadline day move to Merseyside thanks to a groin injury sustained playing for his hometown club against Aston Villa on Dec 28.

Even after returning from that intractable problem, the 22-year-old struggled to convince, further injury issues restricting him to just six Premier League appearances and two goals. Dalglish, though, believes even that may have been asking too much of a player short of fitness.

“He was never really fit when he came here,” said the Scot. “We pushed him in probably earlier than we should have and it was not particularly fair on him. Last season we were a wee bit unkind on his and asked a bit too much of him.”

Though Carroll has yet to score this season, Dalglish is adamant the improvement is clear. The forward featured in all six of Liverpool’s pre-season games, and has led the line effectively against both Sunderland and Arsenal. “Andy is 22,” said his manager. “Every time he plays, people will ask if that’s the best he can be. But you never stop. You always want to improve.

“It is best to judge him when he is fully fit, and this season he certainly looks a lot fitter.”

Dalglish’s attempts to clear the deadwood from his squad are gathering pace with a move to AC Milan likely to be in place for Alberto Aquilani this week.

Nabil El Zhar has already joined Levante and Milan Jovanovic the Belgian side Anderlecht, with the likes of QPR target Joe Cole and Christian Poulsen expected to follow. Inter Milan have not made an offer for Dirk Kuyt, contrary to reports in Italy.

Sotirios Kyrgiakos was on Monday on the verge of moving to the German side Wolfsburg on a free transfer. The Greek international was in Germany on Monday for a medical as Liverpool continue the clear out of their squad.

I don't see it happening but that would be a brilliant buy, Coates is class and could have a very bright future ahead of him.
