Dear Eds,

I haven't really been the into the transfers this summer. However I've heard a few names buzz around who I thought were our targets. Would you mind updating me on what's happening?

Shaquiri
Icardi
Reus
Balotelli
Pastore
And the two Ukrainian lads we were interested in, in January?

Thanks as always eds, and let's get three points sorted on Sunday! YNWA

{Ed002's Note - Briefly, it sort of looks like:
Shaquiri - Maybe Monaco, unable to agree a move to Italy.
Icardi - Over-priced, grief off the field - will likely stay with Inter.
Reus - Coming back from injury, may get a run out soon. Atleti enquired. I suspect he will stay where he is, but still wants Barcelona move.
Balotelli - Suggested by Macca that LFC might get a loan deal - I commented on this earlier.
Pastore - I provided news from PSG yesterday on the European page - Pastore has been available but offers from Italy were apparently well below PSGs expectations.
It has been suggested that Konoplyanka is an option for this summer. Unless something has changed recently, LFC has not spoken with Dnipro since January, although Roma, Fiorentina, Manchester United and West Ham have. I am not aware of interest in any other Ukrainian for at least a year.}
