    Did their manager not say we have not even placed a bid.....think we can place this one under media rumour going no where.

    Hope we don't sign him, not required and I don't think he is as good as toure, sviatchenko or simunovic

    Don't need him,once everyone is fit the defence will be the strongest part of the team.

    Don't want him and we don't need him. Toure and Sviatchenko will be solid, with Simunovic hopefully playing his way into the team after a while. Plus we have O'Connell and Boyata.

    Toure won't be around any longer than 2 seasons at most. Simunovic's fitness is apparently a major issue with him, O'Connell is still relatively unproven, he has looked good but it's very early to be saying whether he is good enough for us going forward. Boyata is * IMO.

    I really don't think we are as sorted at the back as most people seem to think. Toure is a good signing, and I am more than happy with Erik, but outside them two the jury is still out on all our centre halves.

    If this were to mean we don't sign a midfielder though, then I'll be worried. If we punted Efe and Boyata and brought in Duffy then I'd be delighted.

    Well Rodgers said he wanted 2 more signings, and De Vries is one. Which makes me think this is bullshit. I'm expecting Rodgers to wait until after the CL qualifier to get one more player - hopefully a centre mid.

    For me, centre half is fine right now. O'Connell...I'm not his biggest fan but he's done well this season. Simunovic seemingly had no bad injuries before joining us, I think he was just unlucky last season. I think Boyata can be moulded into a decent centre half for us, plus he's well down the pecking order.

    Duffy would surely cost around £3 million or so? That's a fair chunk for a position that we don't really need strengthened right now.

    I can't see this happening either. Unless we sold 1 or 2 centre backs

    The fact Rodgers has said there'll be 2 more after Motherwell and the goalie is one of them makes me think there is zero in this.

    We don't need another centre half, in fact it's the position we are most covered in even allowing for Efe getting punted.

    I don't think it's true myself and if I was pushed I'd definitely want a midfielder in first, but I'm still a bit anxious about our centre halves looking into the future.

    Ffs this guy just scored an o.g at the weekend as well and has played his part in a few pumpings recently for Blackburn and I was thinking bullet dodged.

    We have enough CBs for about 4 teams. There are other positions that now need filled.

    Sign a midfielder. Punt Efe and Boyata, bring in Duffy.

    I'd take that.

    Don't believe we're only after 2 more. Rodgers will be eyeing potential deals that could be done, if we qualify for CL. He has been using that sound bite '1-2' multiple times throughout the summer to throw off the media
