I suppose this should be in the rumour mill, but feck it, I think the rumour mill should be kept for discussion of potential signings and sales regarding LFC only...
...anyway, Chelsea sniffing around German left back Lahm according to BBC...
Chelsea are keen to sign Germany left-back Philipp Lahm, according to a report in Bild newspaper.
It is claimed that the Premiership champions are willing to pay Lahm's club Bayern Munich £10.25m to secure the services of the 22-year-old.
But Lahm is focusing only on the World Cup and said: "This is the only thing I'm interested in. I'm not thinking about what happens afterwards."
Bayern director Karl Hopfner said: "We don't want to sell him. We need him."
Lahm is a regular in the Germany side and scored the first goal of the World Cup finals, a 20-yard screamer against Costa Rica on 9 June.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is thought to be looking for a left-back and has been linked with Real Madrid's Brazilian star Roberto Carlos.
Don't know about anyone else but having watched this guy in the world cup he looks a good player, but a left back he certainly is not. He cuts inside every time onto his right foot, surely he is only playing at left back for Bayern because Sagnol is the established right back? I also think that he is far better at coming forward than he is defending.
For me, Lahm would be better played at either right back or right midfield. Just a thought, but if this guy's available for around 10 million and just say our Alves deal falls through, I genuinely think this guy would be a cracking right midfielder. Anyway, it'll never happen, just a random idea I had. Surely someone must agree with me that left back is not this guy's best position though??
