HI Eds. I see it is being reported Skrtel has signed a new three year contract. Is this true?

{Ed001's Note - it is agreed, not sure if he has actually signed it yet though.}

This summer just gets worse and worse.

No, he didn't sign it yet. He is on holiday. The information that he signed was based on fake facebook account but it is not true. Inter Milan was interested in him. But the expectation is he will stay in Liverpool. YNWA

Adam what has been so bad about the summer so far may I ask? I also would like Skrtel replaced with Bartra or somebody else but what else are you referring to? The weather? Milner & Ings are both good signings and Bogdan replacing Jones, while entirely uninspiring, isn't actually bad.

That, and the fact that the transfer window isn't even open yet.

Bad summer because we've kept on an inept manager when we could have approached Klopp. We've rewarded mediocrity once again by giving Skrtel a new contract. We've signed Milner who we don't need. We've signed a Championship level goalie when we needed a new number 1. We also seem to have lost out on a great player like Kovacic. We have Lambert, Borini, Balotelli and a frequently injured Sturridge in attack so we sign a kid from Burney who scored about 11 goals in one season. That's why I think it's been a bad summer, Kev. A team like Liverpool should be at least aiming for the Champions League, but really we should be aiming to win trophies, we're not going to do that based on this summer's activities.

Except Klopp isn't available yet and Skrtel has been offered a crap contract that he won't sign, which will hopefully lead to his sale and replacement.
We don't need Milner? He will bring MUCH needed experience along with ability to our midfield. I don't have great faith in Mignolet but the money for a new number one is needed more elsewhere.
Who said we've missed out on Kovacic and how often have you actually seen him play? Ings will be the best backup striker we've had for a while, better than Borini & Aspas of course, he reminds me a bit of Bellamy and 11 goals ain't actually bad for a relegation club.
Buyers will hopefully be found for Borini & Balotelli with another striker coming in and Sterling's replacement is a very important piece of business (crossing my fingers for Firmino).
You seem to be a bit overly negative about everything, it's only June, as RE said, the window isn't even open yet. Have a little patience.

How is the money for a new number 1 needed more elsewhere? De Gea is the reason United got into the top 4 last season. Goalies save countless points a year. Mignolet is one of the weakest links in our team, a new goalkeeper is the first thing I would be spending money on.

"Sorted has been offered a crap contract that he won't sign" - I'm pretty sure football clubs don't work like that.

Klopp isn't available? I'm pretty sure he's without a club now and has never been more approachable. But even if he wasn't available, keeping an idiot like Rodgers still constitutes a bad summer in my eyes.

I've seen him play a lot, Kovacic and I think he's going to be a cracking player who we've missed out on.

"Ings will be the best back up striker we've had in a while" - exactly, a back up striker. We shouldn't be signing "back up" strikers, we should be signing strikers to improve our first 11. For a team like Burnley 11 goals isn't bad, but once again, he's had ONE season to prove himself and we sign him when we should be turning our attention to signing first team players. I'm "overly" negative because I have a winning mentality and I want to see Liverpool win things, I'm not content with the mediocrity they are once again subjecting themselves to.
