Still no visible movement.
A cheeky 3m quid bid for Yossi Benayoun.
Links to Fernando torres and Diego Forlan are all that were reported in the past week wrt Liverpool's transfer targets.
Danny Guthrie is off to Bolton on loan for a season.
Good for the fella, can't see him breaking through to the first team with the arrival of players like Lucas Leiva and Mascho.
Still very unclear who Rafa's real targets are and what the progress is when it comes to getting them.
Noew that the Spanish La Liga season has ended, one would assume the negotiations would have begun for most of Rafa's targets.
Vamos Rafa, Parry and the yanks... BUCK UP!!!

Loosen the purse strings, you yanks!
After ALL the yakking about leaving no stone unturned to satisfy Rafa in the transfer market, what do the yank owners have to show?
Here are the acquisitions this summer at Liverpool FC: Andriy Voronin, Lucas Leiva (or is it Leyva), Sebastian Leto, Krizstian Nemeth and Andras Simon.
Voronin I'm told is another Dirk Kuyt albeit with a better finishing touch. (thanks BMWTBM)
Lucas Leiva is YET ANOTHER holding midfielder!
Sebastian Leto is supposed to be a big winger but not all that pacey.
Nemeth and Simon are still too young to have any immediate impact on the first team scene.
So after a month of transfer speculation involving rumours suggesting possible bids for Samuel Eto'o, Carlos Tevez, Fernando Torres, Florent Malouda, Simao Sambrosa, Alessandro Mancini and a host of other big and some not so big stars across Europe (the most preposterous AND hilarious being TH14 visiting Melwood, thanks to tribalfootball.com) these five somewhat uninteresting tranfers are what the new owners can boast about!
Of course, you could argue that having signed SG08, Carra, Xabi and Pepe on new deals is almost like having signed 4 new transfers... but the fact remains that it might already be too late for Rafa to sign some of the players he's been having wet dreams about (not literally, of course).
We might have missed the bus. :(
To add to the misery, clubs will now expect much more money than the true valuation for LFC targets now that LFC's ownership has changed hands. So it's about time now!
