ACCORDING to a report from The Express, Liverpool look poised to win the race to bring French left-back Aly Cissokho to the Premiership on a loan deal, despite interest from several other clubs.
Reports in Spain have claimed that Cissokho will be joining the club on a season-long loan, for a fee that is believed to be around £900,000. If Cissokho impresses Reds manager Brendan Rodgers enough then he will have the opportunity to remain at Anfield on a permanent basis for £3.5 million.
Liverpool were not the only Premiership club interested in the Frenchman, with Sunderland also hopeful of procuring the defender but Liverpool are now the front runners in the race, as they hope to provide competition for current left-back Jose Enrique.
Rodgers had admitted that the club were looking at potential left-back, as well as hoping to bolster other positions as well, the Northern Irishman saying:
“There are obviously certain areas of the squad where we’re a bit thinner than others. We probably need a bit more support – that extra bit of quality – at the top end of the field and that’s something we’ll look out for.
“That’ll be mixed with needing cover in the left-back position – that’s something we’re looking at. It’s not really about numbers, it’s about quality. If we can do that over the next number of weeks we’ll be happy.”

If he does come in most likely enrique will b gone too
where would Enrique go? I reckon 8-10 mil for him from southampton
Hes a good solid player. Keep enrique too.. Buy erikson aldervield and a good striker and we are sorted.
Try to buy Roberto Soldado
All good and well bringing in new faces, but let’s try and keep the core of our current squad….and get a BIG NAME striker pleeeeeeeeeeez,not just another promising new kid on the block!!!! YNWA …uc
it doesnt matter where enrique goes.as long as they get gd price 4 him.downing should b sold as well.
Bredan should not allow Suarez issue to distract him from doing other transactions please go out and do more fruitful signings
Kip enrique he is a gud playa nd sell spearing
Shut up u all enrique is better than aly we just need him as cover
please don’t sale him
enrique shud stay,spearing shud go
Sel suares to madrid and buy soldado, eriksen and aly cissokho
As expected, better players must be sold and be replaced by cheaper option. This is not LFC standard. Even last session relegated QPR never do it !!!
p/s: As predicted, more loan deals coming despite ‘we can compete with everyone’ promise by FSG. Who says FSG is good for LFC ???
The downgrade continues . Top managers/players replaced with cheaper inferior manager/players …..all so the greedy yanks can save money
We are now a selling club in decline …thanks FSG
lfc dont need soldado we need javin martinez and eriksen
Spearing is on e way out. He wants 2 join Bolton.
