@LFC: Liverpool Football Club can today announce they have agreed a deal in principal with Kolo Toure to join the club on July 1. #LFC
Lovely stuff.
You’d imagine it’s for cover and he will only see 10-15 games but with Carra gone, with Skertl and probably Coates too to join him we need experienced cover.
Back at the time Arsenal reached the European Cup final, I thought Toure was an excellent defender. Then he kinda went shit.
He’s decent on the ball and is pretty quick for a central defender so it’s all good, especially as he costs nothing. Thought he was a very good defender when he played beside Campbell for Arsenal.
Toure is decent squad player to get on a free but they’ll definitely need someone to partner Agger on a full time basis
There’s a Greek on the way from Schalke. Big papa…
Welcome Kolo…
Fare thee well Kolo, you were some man to sell cars 
He’s an excellent player so would be a great signing if he does go there. That said, it rarely seems to matter who Liverpool sign, they have a way of ruining players.
You’re talking through your hole mate.
Balague on Suarez

The future of Luis Suárez
This is the kind of story Liverpool fans don’t want to hear, but it has happened before and will happen again –it is law of football and a consequence of the stage the club is in, progressing but not at the level where they can expect their best player to ignore interest from other more successful clubs. Liverpool Football Club are resigned to lose Luis Suarez and are preparing life without him. They are aware of the interest from top clubs in Europe and Liverpool feel they have done as much as they can to convince him to stay, and everything is now in the players’s court.
He is happy in Liverpool, the club has looked after him and he feels settle for the first time since he left his home in Uruguay. The family atmosphere has helped him grow and he feels the club has done everything that it was required so he could focus in his game. We all have read the interviews, I have heard him say it himself. But…
At this stage of his career, he would like to test himself in the biggest stage, the Champions League. He hoped Liverpool could provide that but it hasn’t been the case. He expects the progression of the team will take them to the top four at some point but he has heard there are clubs like Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Juventus (he is preferred to Higuain), even Chelsea that have shown interest. No offer on the table yet but there will be more than one put during the summer.
His parents in law live near Barcelona and his wife tends to spend time there. Spain is then their preferred destination.
He has a buy out clause which some sources put at £35 million and others at more than £40m. Liverpool will demand the totality of the buy out clause to release the player. There will be clubs willing to pay that. And then it will be all up to the player.
Notice, I DID NOT SAY HE IS GOING TO GO. I am saying, the club is resigned to his departure if he decides to go. And he is aware there is interest from top clubs and is considering his future. That is the stage the situation is in.
Are spelling/grammar standards slipping to a new low on TFK ?
Has Bandage seen this thread?

Bean called this one last week.

How much. He’s been a good servant but I would be happy enough to let him go. He seems to have lost interest or something.
I don’t know but he’d want to shut up or it will be for peanuts.
Iago Aspas looks a done deal according to Guilem Balague
He is picking it up off a few other twitter accounts.
He seems a fiesty sort from what ive read and fairly versatile… Another canibal in the making.
A much better source-
