Balotelli is not repeat is not a Liverpool player the deal we signed for his was a season long loan with a right to buy for the fee agreed. it is the reason he went back to the club who hold his registration We have a good relationship with his agent and would be the reason he has been allowed to train with us but not allowed to play a game for Liverpool and nor will he because he isn’t our player Unless they can get him a loan deal at a club he likes he will go back to his club or they may just pay up his contract and he will be a free agent if they really don’t want him back
Benteke will be sitting tight at least till Jan if he doesn’t get a team he wants to go to but he want get a chance at Liverpool
Sturridge is still the NO1 striker but he has lost his pace since his injury Origi will only increase in value and will be allowed to develop this season to see if he could be the No1 if not we will sell him and bring in a striker to be No1 next season if we get a top 4 finish
We have no interest in this player from R Madrid his reps are trying to drum up business by linking Arsenal and Liverpool with him
We have been told already no new signings and that will be the case unless we can shift the likes of Benteke Henderson out the door Lucus is another if we can get those big wages off the list then the likes of Sissoko and a LB would be added but shifting players out is the preference now
