Liverpool are going to bid 10m Euros for Son Heung-Min in January according to ESPN.

I don't know much about him. I saw his wonder goal last week and know he is a 20 year old South Korean prodigy. I've read a lot about him over the past 6 months or so, but I'm sure Hendersonshands or Tweezy could tell us a bit more about him since they follow the Bundesliga closely.

My question is: Is Allen, Gerrard, Shelvey, Henderson, Lucas, Sahin and Suso not enough mids? We need to be going all in on a forward.

He can play any attacking position, including CF, apparently.

He's been highly thought of for the past couple of years... He'd be a project if brought in...

Yall need a CAM to replace Gerrard first off. Someone with real quality. Or perhaps play Suarez there?

We definitely need goals from the midfield. It is the crux of Rodgers' system right now, and it just hasn't worked yet.

Gerrard's got a few years left and I think we have Shelvey (20) and Suso (18) to fill that role...

That said I wouldn't be opposed to an Eriksen or Isco, but I believe we need CL football to attract those guys...

What's up with Texeira in the reserves, is he still hurt?

Given Villarreal's financial condition and his injury history, Judas may come cheap and would be a good source of goals (assuming he can stay healthy). Anyone else besides me think this is a good idea?

I've been a little out of the loop lately with work stuff.

What's this I hear BR will be given £40m to spend in January? Is this true?

That's the rumor. If true, I can't wait. Who knows if that includes projected sales dollars though.

I'd need a hand towel and about 5 minutes of privacy.

if it's that amount + sales (only really think of Downing... maybe Hendo if the price is right??)

We can plug a couple holes, very well...

Is Llorente being considered? His contract ends in January and we should be able to get him on discount while Bilbao try to make a little something off of him. Surely he won't re-sign will he?

Who knows. I know he and Bielsa are currently in a rift. Maybe their management will strike a deal with him that's along the lines of if you sign, we will sell you as soon as possible.

Hopefully that is not the case though.

Everything I've read is he wants out... They can either sell him for a nominal fee or he can sign a pre-contract with someone in January...

He'll be 28 in February, so the fee would have to be small for FSG to bid (I assume). His quality may start a bidding war that FSG wont get into at his age...

There aren't many top clubs tha would be in the running for him. Maybe Juventus and Milan. Other than that, Chelsea, Arsenal, United, City, Real, Barca, Bayern and PSG are sorted up top.

good point... I think Arsenal and Tottenham could potentially be interested depending on how things go...

We are definitely interested in him. Early word is he could be our number 1 target this January.
