Inter have made a €15 million bid for Corinthians' Paulinho according to Tuesday's La Gazzetta dello Sport

Match of the Day has been shown up by Sky showing extended highlights of every game; thereby allowing one to view games in context.

Reina; Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique; Allen, Lucas, Henderson; Sturridge, Suarez, Sterling.

Suarez is suspended.

Jones; Flanagan, Carragher, Coates, Robinson; Henderson, Sahin; Ibe, Suso, Assaidi; Yessil.

Ultimately we have to move to a situation in which Suarez is playing as the playmaker behind a striker with two attacking midfielders on each flank, thus: Reina; Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Robinson; Lucas, Allen; AN Other, Suarez, Sterling; AN Other.

Jones; Wisdom, Coates, Carragher, Flanagan; Henderson, Shelvey; Downing, Cole, Assaidi; Yesil. Subs.: Gulacsi, Wilson, Robinson, Coady, Suso, Pacheco, Morgan.

Play him in the Europa games instead of Downing.

I agree; I much prefer team goals to more individualistic efforts.

The press have been briefed that Liverpool will line-up as follows: Jones; Wisdom, Carragher, Coates, Enrique; Henderson, Sahin, Suso; Downing, Pacheco, Assaidi.

It's on Premier Sports in the UK; a station to be found in the outer regions of the Sky Box. Apparently it's a subscription channel with a minimum of two months required; i.e. not worth bothering with for one game.

The difference between the Liverpool and Spurs offers is nothing to do with the player's demands; rather its down to the structuring of the payments to Hoffenheim with Spurs offering the total fee upfront. Incidentially Spurs have yet to meet the player or his representatives.

Odd coincidence for Dalglish that the back four this season could include Kelly Coates.

I'd suggest the following 'pecking order': Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Enrique. Kelly, Skrtel, Coates, Aurelio. Flanagan, Wisdom, Wilson, Robinson. Insua to be sold in this window.

It's Staunton as a coach.

Lucas will be the captain of both Liverpool & Brazil.

I expect a left-back, a centre-back, a holding midfielder, a creative midfielder, two wide players/No. 10s and a striker to be signed. Informed guesswork suggests that: the left-back will be José Enrique, from Newcastle; the centre-back either Gary Cahill, from Bolton, or Mamadou Sakho, from PSG; the holding midfielder Blaise Matuidi, from Saint-Étienne, or less likely Yann M'Vila, from Rennes; the creative midfielder Charlie Adam, from Blackpool; two from Dimitri Payet, from Saint-Étienne, Ashley Young, from Aston Villa, Balázs Dzsudzsák, from PSV; or most unlikely Sergio Agüero, from Atléti; and the striker Kévin Gameiro from Lorient.

The sight of the Arsenal mascot brought back memories of Coupling's 'giggle loop'.

Neil Mellor is a better player than David N'gog in the same way in which Jay Spearing is a better player than Lucas Leiva; i.e only in the xenophobic imagination of the terminally deluded.

I expect Gervinho is being looked at as Kuyt's replacement; i.e. a player on the right of an attacking three who can also cover for Carroll.

As our owners may soon own both Liverpool and AS Roma De Rossi could well be a possibility.

Rafa has been sounded out regarding Pato; Pato fits in with NESV's criteria for signings and has a realistic buyout clause. Time is however against us and he may well be more seriously pursued in the summer. Interesting to note Commoli's whereabouts - he's in Madrid.

Pato now being considered.
