No problem with signing Bony. He's a good player . Bit of an odd one, though. EDIT: Much rather Bony to Remy, anyhow.

Concede less. Because Suarez has gone doesn't mean we're playing with 10 and whoever comes in is of requisite quality to get the standard amount, which means you're looking at 30 goals or so. Sterling and Henderson can give a chunk of them, Lambert the rest. Suarez was off next Summer if he did stick around. We build around Sturridge and Sterling and bring in players who can add different options and work with them. It'll be fine, Cunny. It'll be fine. EDIT: The main point is, you don't have to replace Luis Suarez with Luis Suarez. You have players who are getting better and you have new players who'll replace the weaker aspects of the squad. Makes us less reliant and it's easier to do than to find a new top-10 in the world striker. It doesn't have to be like for like.

Dan Sturridge ends the season as one of the premier strikers in Europe. We're building around him, not replacing him.

It's always Hendo. Would probably go a mix of Skrtel/Sturridge after that.

Good signing for them. We're still better.

Still f***ing great, lads. Still have Dan Sturridge. You have to replace +30 goals. You do that through Sterling, Lambert and Markovic plus not having to carry Gerrard AND Suarez might make us a bit more solid at the back. It's all fine.

Can't be arsed trawling back, why is Sanchez to Arsenal so nailed on?

Jackson Martinez is going to Valencia, reportedly. I'd be stunned if Sanchez went to Arsenal over us or Juventus. He'd probably just stay at Barcelona, I think. EDIT: FWIW, I think we'll convince Sanchez. Think we've got Markovic in the bag. I'm excited. Very excited. Think, even losing Suarez, we're getting stronger.

I'd take that with all the salt, to be honest. This is the same man who said we were going to sell 4 out of 5 of our defence last Summer to save on wages.

FWIW, Ben Smith says we're not in for Fabregas. Think Shaqiri is a weird alternative to Lallana but whatever, like. I'd go out if we got Sanchez.

No one will pay £30m for him. Southampton will cave. We are the team in a position of strength. We have Champions League football and we are Lallana's favoured destination. Southampton are going to haemorrhage this Summer. For what it's worth, think we already have alternatives lined up. Can imagine us leaking going for them in order to try and pressure Southampton. There's no way Lallana is a Southampton player come September.

Lallana isn't stupid, he'll hand in a transfer request and we'll get him. Don't think we'll be in for Shaqiri if we get him. Emre Can could be just an alternative too. Can imagine it being: A goalie Lovren Lallana Lambert Emre Can Moreno Not exactly a bad Summer.

Probably a good shout, that. If we signed Moreno/Lallana first then got him in August then it'd be a shrewd move.

People are being negative about Rickie Lambert? A £4m signing who will get goals and be a decent option off the bench? My word.

Me? I don't think he's an upgrade on Skrtel. He's Eastern European. Of course he's a bit of a biff.

He's not a biff. My brother knows him a little. I'd take it with only a little salt rather than loads.

He better f***ing not. I did stipulate only those who don't rate Sakho, Hass. OPEN YOUR BLOODY EYES.

Can't wait to batter Barcelona 5-0 at Anfield in November.

Agger can get in the bin. Anyone who wants rid of Sakho can get in the bin. Basically, all of you can get in the bin. Except DH. He can get in my arms.

YES! It's Luis Alberto/Seb Coates money. I'm saying one star and two good squad players, yes.

Yesil, Coates, Tiago Ilori, Joao Texiera, Luis Alberto. Obviously some are less than others but it's not exactly panned out for any (for various reasons). Regardless, think the target this summer is one Sturridge and two Allens. Not in style of play or fee, but in what they can contribute. The rest can be a mix of whatever.

I immediately distrust signing any young lad for, relatively, little. I'd quite like Bertrand, I've decided I'm all for it. I'm bang into any left back who isn't Jose Enrique.

Not 100% on Lovren. Not arsed about Shaqiri either. Quite like Bertrand and I'd love Bony. Thus concludes my opinions.

Martinez ticks a lot of boxes. Can see exactly why we'd be in for him but haven't seen anything to suggest we actually are or would stand a chance.

They won by 2 points. That's just fine margins, that. We are better.
