frick, I thought he was going back to their B team? Oh well, he'd have gotten more first team playing time here...

Every interview Brendan does seems to be golden. Love what he says here:
"In professional and social life, I like to get value, that's just my nature and my upbringing. I won't pay anything at all costs. If there is a player who can make a difference, we'll do all we can to get him. What I'm not prepared to do is waste time, money and effort for anyone who won't add value. I prefer the hungry player, one who wants to succeed.
"They will earn good money - and they will get their value and worth if they perform."
Rodgers also insisted the club does not have to look to the big clubs for new signings.
"There's sometimes a snobbery towards players at a lesser club, an ignorance," he added. "If you look at our squad, there aren't too many who have dropped from heaven. A lot have come through lower clubs, made their way and are now making their name at Liverpool.
"The club's history is about hungry players, coming from the lower leagues and working their way up. Talent aligned with hard work takes you a long way. I find it difficult to work with players who don't share and match that."

Some twitter tidbits...
Sahin appears to be strong/in the bag depending on who you believe
Tello has not agreed to new contract with Barca, loan possible either way... buying him out right still not out of the picture
all indications are that Agger is staying
Dempsey will be a LFC player before end of window
Walcott is 50/50 in regards to if we are pursuing him or not

Terrific news all around. If we land most of these guys, this will be the most excited I've been about an entire window in a long time.

I don't see him happening.

seems the longest shot of them all... Also, since MCFC needs to dump payroll, Johnson is in play regardless of Agger

Word out of Turkey is that Sahin is a done deal. Season long loan.

If Sahin is en route, would he be worth a pickup in say.. the 8th round of a fantasy draft? or is his position not one of inherent value for fantasy purposes.
Also same for Joe Allen.. I know next to nothing about both of these players.

I'd say so. I'm really excited about him 
Posted on 8/15/12 at 11:44 am to tsmi136
I'm not familiar with Sahin or Tello. Can anyone give me a rundown of them?
Posted on 8/15/12 at 11:58 am to pvilleguru
Sahin is a CM in the Xabi Alonso mold... was the Bundesliga POY 2 seasons ago and moved to Madrid...
Tello is a very young tricky, fast winger in the Barca B team... He did get 7 goals playing in limited duty for the 1st team last season... A position Barca happens to be loaded at...

Sahin played with Dortmund two seasons ago and then was sold to Real Madrid, only made a handfull of appearances. He plays mid and apparently is compared to Fabregas. He can bring a lot to our midfield.
Tello is more of a winger, which we need. 21 years old and has featured mostly for Barca B. He's talented but is really raw and needs playing time. He's featured around 15 times for Barca

Absolutely Allen. Him and BR are butt buddies to the extreme.

I don't see him as another Xavi Alonso. More of Cesc.
