My sources are telling me that we are close to signing Alex Song for £8m. I’d be very happy with that.
Mine too.

I really rated him at Arsenal, but I’ve seen him a couple of times at West Ham, and I wasn’t that impressed. Seemed to get flustered if he was pressured.
It should be said that the the West Ham fans apparently loved him, so my view might not be representative of his season.
Not convinced by Song. Inconsistent and high wages. Good price at £8m though.
I think Song would play well in a more structured side than the Hammers. Alos, it couldn’t have been fun playing for a manager who was always going to get pushed out at the end of the season - the vibes would have been all wrong. Would like to see him playing for Saints.
Cheeky shits. That said, it was probably a junior social media bod not really thinking that through…
Seems Ings is going to Liverpool.
Good-O. I’m not afraid of facing England B next season.

How the mighty have fallen. From Suarez to Balotelli to Ings in two seasons.
Liverpool bought players from the team that finished 8th last year, plus a player that no manager on Earth seems to trust or be able to accommodate. This year they are buying players from relegated teams.
Charlie Austin?
Wonder if Liverpool might get mugged off with an unusually large transfer tribunal. 22 year old English bro, who just scored 11 goals in the prem, and for whom Spurs bid £12m. That’s got to be worth more than the normal peanuts + add-ons.

There are a couple of differences. First, we’re not trying to replace Luis Suarez. Second, I don’t think we can compete at the Luis Suarez end of the market. Liverpool used to be able to.
True. FWIW I think Ings will be a good signing for Liverpool.
Already flashing the cash on swanky new motors
I reckon Chez, Puddings and Monkeys and Percy Windham CDAJFU.
I’d love to see a couple of in-depth, dry, stat-filled Redslo blogs trying to get to grips with the workings of this place!

He is funny though, and he does like Bearsy, so maybe it could work. I think he’d enjoy the nicer atmosphere here. Has anyone PM’d him yet?
