ed, what's the current position regarding sakho? i've read he's available, but then some are saying spurs have also enquired. would absolutely hate it if he joined the spuds, as I absolutely love sakho, and if he goes there, then i'll have to loathe him. {Ed044's Note - From Ed02 on the Liverpool page: Sakho has been on the list of targets for many clubs over the past year or so - Monaco, Arsenal and Lyon have sustained interest in Sakho and there has been some interest from Newcastle, Inter Milan, Manchester City and even possible interest lingering interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona. Baader has explained that AC Milan and Liverpool have recently enquired about his availability - but at that time PSG were not keen on selling and the player was then keen to stay. However, Laurent Blanc remains concerned about his attitude and would be willing to let him move on - that could be facilitated after the departure of Leonardo who had been lending him support. Would be an excellent buy for Liverpool if Agger or Skrtel were to move on, and not out of the question - but no offer has been made by the club whilst AC Milan are actively pushing for a deal. Napoli are also considering Sakho as an alternative to Alderweireld but have been put off by the asking price - they might still seek a loan.}

Cheers for the reply Ed. I really hope Wenger expresses his interest in Sakho and something materialises. Him and Kos at the back would be, I think the only way to put it, beastly! Would be ideal for the upcoming world cup too, playing together in a club can only benefit the country.

We should be raiding PSG, so many good players they don't want! we should go for a triple swoop I reckon - Sakho for defence, clement chantome for midfield (him and flamini for DCM) and to complete the set Jeremy Menez - three players not wanted, 3 players to fill much needed positions in the squad. I would still take micah richards for the squad/competition. Also from Real I would rather Benzema & Kaka oh and a goalie so 8 players total! that's good enough for me, except for benzema no bif transfer fees so Wenger is happy too!
