[Mr Q]

Do you want pom poms with that post?

[Trim]

Marveaux failed his medical

[Student of Accounting]

That must indcate Downing is a real possibility then?

[Seydou]

Woow.

He went Newcastle instead. Second shock move by them. Third french signed so far.

[Younger]

He came out saying he didn't fail the medical.

Not enough money I guess

[Young £]

rejected?

[Younger]

Yeah either way I'm not bothered.

62 games in 5 years

Do not want

[Young £]

pmsl thats shocking

[TF S4DK]

Newcastle gave him a 5 year deal.

[MetaFives]

that's why teams like newcastle stay losing, signing these kind of players on 60k 5 year deals and can't get rid of them until their contracts expiry.

[MEIRELES.]

We probably offered him a pay per play contract.

He woulda warmed the bench on a weekly so I understand his motive tbh.

[Guest Portuguese]

Liverpool have had a lucky escape!

Liverpool have had a lucky escape!

Please tell why TF Jr!

Pault86 Paul Thompson

Wickham, Downing and Adam all plan to be completed by LFC next week.

[mp*]

Another 50 million spent then.

[MEIRELES.]

Them amounts you dreamt you spent.

[Flojo]

This is insanity, so many names being flung about.

The Zapata link is apparently true at around £13 million.

There's a rumour that Comolli is trying to make a move on Sakho.

There's talk of us making a move for Rodwell (crazy I know but there's definitely some truth in it).

We apparently had a bid for Pedro Leon turned down according to reports from Spain.

[MEIRELES.]

Very unlikely we will go in for CM's after Adam makes his apparent move to us.. Linked with so many good players as usual but it can only be a good thing.

Out of all these transfer rumours and links the guy I most want at LFC is Mata.

[Flojo]

For a transfer that seemed so cut and dry the Adam transfer is taking a long time, given how quickly we closed the Henderson deal there must be something stopping it from happening.

We've got a friendly with Valencia in August so relations between the clubs are hopefully good.

Oyston apparently the only thing stopping the move

still dont think we will sign Adam, this will go on a bit longer and Oyston will stand firm then we'll back out imo

[Younger]

Oyston acting like a c*nt again

[MEIRELES.]

Oystons being a c*nt with the Adam transfer

Im just waiting for players to return from holidays cos thats when the telling transfers will begin.

[Mr Q]

On Tuesday afternoon various media sources picked up the story that Brest striker Nolan Roux was a target for English side Liverpool. Some sources even going as far to say a fee and contract terms had been agreed and the XX yr old would be on his way to Anfield on Friday or Saturday to have a medical before completing the deal.

The young striker has rose to prominence very quckly in 2009/10 he scored 15 goals as he was a huge part of Brest’s promotion to Ligue 1. However his first season in the top flight was hampered a little by injury, he scored 6 goals and was mostly impressive.

To give you an idea of what the player is like here are some tweets from the top Ligue 1 reporters airing their thoughts on Roux:

Matt Spiro – Writer and broadcaster for Ligue1.com

Nolan Roux is 23, great potential. Scored 15 goals to get Brest up, only 6 in debut top flight year but had injury. I’d guess €6-8m.

I had pleasure of commentating on Roux’s goal in the Brittany derby vs Rennes. Pure class.

James Eastham – French football scout and betting expert

If they can get him for £7-8m it would be a bargain. Outstanding prospect.

He has a fantastic attitude, great movement, workrate and much, much more than a goalscorer. A potential French international.

He’s right-footed but decent on both sides, I can see him playing wide as well as through the middle.

Jonathan Johnson – Writer for Sky Sports and French Football Weekly

Hot prospect. 23 yr old striker, 6 goals, 3 assists in 28 games. A former Lens youth player. Possesses great speed and positioning.

Superb performance for U-21′s in his only match for them v Croatia.

Son of Bruno Roux, 15 goals/5 assists in Ligue 2,strong player will adapt to Premier League, unfinished article, versatile-striker or winger

It’s clear to see that Nolan Roux is very highly rated, fans too often only look at a strikers goal ratio and determine if he is worthy or not. There is much more to being a top striker than putting the ball in the back of the net and Roux has the ability to be one of the leading strikers in Europe.

[Trim]

Never seen him play, sounds very positive though. Good that he can play out wide aswell, for the rumoured fee i'd be happy if we bought him in. We need more strikers with N'Gog on the way out and he's an option to play out wide when necessary.

[Student of Accounting]

Knolan Roux yeah,

Big time charlies now aint ya.
