Alex Teixeira of Shakhtar eds? Omg is it true were in talks?

{Ed001's Note - only thing I know about him is that Chelsea tried to sign him, that is my sum total of knowledge regarding him.}

The rumours are unusually specific. Naming Ayre as part of a contingent out at LA. Unusual to mention names and places. There is the Florid a tornament on so we could be watching anyone. Has been a quality player this year.

Ed001 if it's true that Ayre is out in Orlando florida, it's probably another Donald duck he's going to sign isn't it.

Do you think he will end up at Chelsea ed, if we did get him a few midfielders would have to go we're overrun with em.

Just heard he has been left out of the squad for their upcoming game. Lots of rumours re 24.6m rising to 29m has been accepted. Didn't he use to play with Coutinho at Vasco too?

Could make sense if the club have already decided to move Sturridge on to West Ham, in this window. LFC is being too quiet about Sturridge given all the questions being asked. Texeira is not a full time striker, but his goals record the past season and a half is impressive. He could be turned into a striker, and would fit Klopp's high press, fast counter-attack style.

Teixeira pulled a hamstring hours after Ayre got on the plane, no joke apparently.

Rumour seems to be growing as the day goes on, now being reported on the BBC website as a standalone story, this is usually when I start to take notice!

Hope this is true. rated this player for a long time.

This is no Joke! but apparently Texeira has pulled his Hamstring and is injured, it must have happened when Ian Ayre chased him around the street looking for him to sign a contract but hopefully the deal will still be signed.

Hopefully even with Ayre, the thought of working under Klopp can still make him come. If true that is, can Liverpool afford that amount right now before moving players on?

'Sky Sources' have finally jumped on the bandwagon and are now reporting the story, so it must have legs somewhere! Everything crossed for me that they can pull this one off! ynwa.

Liverpool-rumours. com "is" sky's sources.

{Ed002's Note - So here is a little update (from Brazil): Whilst Shakhtar's Alex Teixeira has accepted an offer to join Chelsea in January the move remains subject to (a) Shakhtar deciding to sell - and their owner is blocking any move at this time; (b) the clubs agreeing a fee and terms – whilst they have been negotiating the price was raised considerably (and Chelsea won’t be held to random), and (c) the player being able to pass a medical this month. He has had scan of his right thigh due at some point today after he pulled up in training on Tuesday morning. Five bids (two formal submissions and three verbal) from four clubs have been made to Shakhtar since November and each has been rejected as Mr Akhmetov does not want to sell the player at this time. The clubs are Chelsea, Juventus, PSG and I understand Liverpool. Spurs have also watched him in recent months. His agent sees an eventual move will happen but he doesn’t think anything will happen in January unless someone were to offer his club the very high asking price they have placed on him. And I suspect the summer is far more likely now.}

Here the play by play: We bid. Low. Media hype revs up supporters start believe.
He's been spotted at John Lennon airport, announcement imminent.

We've signed Shane Long on a six year deal for a fee of £32 million pounds, more to follow.

All the best.

Coutiniho has him all over his Facebook page all 26 Goals this season pics from when they were young, just saying, doesn't mean anything. Pray Long was the smoke screen please god.

Chelsea back in with a €41 offer for Alex Teixeira.
We need to up our offer to get him.

{Ed023's Note - We've offered a lot more that €41 - I've offered €75 for my local side}

I want to point out that Mikey Mouse and Donald Duck make over 12 billion in profit every quarter. That's 48 billion profit a year. Maybe time to rethink the Mikey Mouse references.
