From the official Liverpool FC website:

Rafa Benitez today revealed Liverpool are hoping to sign Maxi Rodriguez from Atletico Madrid - but the deal has yet to be completed.


The gaffer told his weekly press conference: "It's true we've talked to Atletico Madrid and we're interested in the player but still it's just conversations.
"You never know with timescales. It's a question of everything being more or less agreed, and now it's for Atletico and the player to talk and see what happens."

Both Wenger and Benitez had really cheeky smirks on their faces when being interviewed today.

Do we think they are doing it?

Do we think they are doing it?

Necking on?

Defo. Tongues 'n' all.

Given that you are the authority mate, I'm wondering who is the postman and who is the letterbox?

[hudson]

Hang on... yeah a willy has just slid in. Aaaand it's Wenger's. Hang on... looks like this wasn't planned. Rafa is trying to wrestle him off.

Robinho has, as expected, gone back to Brazil on loan to his former club Santos. Ha.

Elsewhere, Gudjohnsen has joined Spurs on loan.

Is this the worlds most stupid man?

He gets a Kaka tattoo after Man City make a bid for him!
What a dick.

I have stuck this in the transfer thread as he then got a Robinho one above the Kaka one.

You'd think he'd have learned the first time!

Why would anyone have a new signing as a tattoo? It's even worse than tattooing a girlfriend on your body.

All a bit dull so far. 90 minutes left.

Only Chelsea news of interest is Jack Cork going on loan to Burnley. Won't be surprised if that turns permanent.

Rumours flying left right and centre regarding Michael Owen

City denied a work permit for McDonald Mariga (largely due to Kenya being a rubbish country for football)

Benni McCarthy signs for West Ham

Everything else are incredibly minor signings and loans so far.

Chris Buchtmann has joined Fulham, thats a very good deal for Fulham is the things I've read about him are true. He looked like a very talented youngster. One that was being talked up to be something special when he joined Liverpool last year.

[Kongster]

Man City have signed Adam Johnson from Middlesbrough.

Rumours still circulating saying Torosidis is joining Liverpool from Olympiakos. Robbie Keane up in Scotland looking for a loan move to Celtic. What a crash his career has taken since being at Liverpool.
