I knew I was forgetting someone.

But I still never count on 1st year players from new leagues off the bat. You just never know.

Everyone said the same about Falcoa and Di Maria too.

Back to Liverpool, after Benteke are we done? I still feel like we are a little shallow in defense. If Can and Lucas are here as DMs, with Allen mixing in, we should be good but CB depth is a bit questionable.

Assuming Lovren's lightbulb never turns on.

There are rumblings of Pedro... Reports that Chelsea haven't approached and he'll decide on Saturday

I'd love him but where does he play? I guess always good when you can't count on the glass man to be available.

The last month or two of this past season, Lovren played out of his mind. If he continues that trend, I like where we are headed.

Meh, I know he was better. But coming from where he was, thats not saying a lot.

I know he has the ability, hopefully it was just a shitty season for him. Luckily we got Sakho who is a complete badass and should be vice captain.

From what I've seen he's pretty interchangeable across the front but primarily on the wings

Yea no doubt he's a hell of a player, versatile too. Problem is we've got a shite ton of players that are known for that.

He would no doubt bring an immediate upgrade in quality though.

Whats the fee? Is he supposed to be on a free?

Pedro is no doubt a good player, but I don't think we need him. We have a lot of young players in his position that will need game time to fully realize their potential. I'm happy with what we have. If we make any other deals, I think it should be LB and CDM. We also need to get going on trimming the fat from our squad (balo, lambert, borini, Enrique etc)

I don't know if we have any other player in our squad with his skill set... but it all depends on what Rodgers vision is for this team.. he is a forward, best suited in a 4-3-3

But I'd rather spend that kind of coin on a DM...

If this window ends with CB and either Pedro or Medel I will ecstatic. I would prefer Medel but I'm a sucker for any baller describes as a pit bull.

I wouldn't be surprised if we're done outside of maybe a youth signing

Rogers said that Gomez will NOT go out on loan this year.

And we won our second preseason match 2-1 with goals from Lallana and Milner.

Sterling who?

Ibe with a nice run. Hoping he becomes a bit more clinical this year and should have a few opportunities.

Reading mostly good individual reports from the game which you like to see for a preseason game. Moreno apparently has a little injury but is back training.

Joe Gomez has looked to be a fantastic signing.

I know it was against subpar competition, but he really does seem to not only be a physical specimen, but also has a pretty high acumen for the game for his age. I didn't get a chance to watch the game, but I was up feeding the baby and the Liverpool pundits were raving about him on the interwebs.

If we can sign Medel to step in and immediately be the starter in front of the back 4, which would free Can up to play in a more forward position to spell Henderson and Milner, I'll eb ecstatic. Let's make it happen.

Medel, or a player like him, is the missing link (assuming Benteke is ours)

He's not a Matic quality player, but the guy is really good at what he does, and like a lot of Chileans he's an all around player. Hopefully we'll push hard for him, the guy was just a beast in the Copa America
