Dont shoot the messenger - this from Jinxed on KUMB : Carrol for Sturridge - Straight swap/ Zabaleta nearly 'over the line'/ Looking at Wilshire ! ;wahoo
Nolito would be a steal, Betis aren't a big club or a particularly good one (14th in la liga)so i'm sure we can tempt him
Think he was frozen out by pep, many players have, but he previously hit double figures in his previous 3 seasons on Spain and started life at City pretty well
His goal haul of 4 this season would still set him in our top 5 goalscorers, and he has played 500 minutes LESS than Andy Carroll and Ayew who only have 7 and 5 respectively
He's also a left winger who'll allow Lanzini to play more centrally as we don't really have a left winger atm (Ayew prefers being central, Antonio, Feg and Snodgrass all prefer the right)
Given his injury record, Klopp's style of play, the fact he flopped there once already, and the fact that Sturridge fits them a lot more style wise, I don't see it at all
good player but I think he has bigger ambitions than us and Stoke. Seems like someone who wants to be in a "European" playing time, so cant see him joining us even if Stoke decided they wanted to sell which I don't think they would.
Aeronautic signed a new 4-year deal in the summer. If he'd wanted to leave Stoke he could have gone to Everton who were offering £12.5m or he could have let his old contract run out this summer and gone on a free.
West Ham forward Andre Ayew, 27, could quit the Premier League club to rejoin former side Marseille, despite only signing from Swansea last summer - according to his father, Abedi Pele. (Le Parisien - in French)
Everton are willing to sell Republic of Ireland midfielder James McCarthy for £20m to offset their summer spending, with Newcastle, West Ham and Crystal Palace interested in the 26-year-old. (Mail on Sunday)
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is targeting a top-six finish next season - with a return to the Premier League top 10 a minimum ambition. (Evening Standard)
Would happily sell Ayew if we could get the sort of money we paid or near enough, but wouldn't want spend the fee on McCarthy as don't like him and not worth that sort of money. I don't mind keeping Ayew as I think he has ability and may come good but just as likely to be a nearly player as he has been this season, he has looked the part and provided brief moments of high quality, but it never really came to anything resembling a 20m signing.

In that order

No way will Carroll be swapped with Sturridge

Is this not an admission of tapping up by Klopp ;hmm

Pickford available.
For £30m.
Perhaps not then...

I wouldn't be bothered if Ayew went but as Grey points out that's not what Abedi Pele said
Going nowhere now I'd say.
At least Iheanacho stayed goalless ;biggrin
Oh... ;yercoat
