One star player is convinced he'll agree a move to Liverpool. This is despite completing a medical with one of the Reds' fierce rivals.
We were eager for Liverpool to sign a defensive midfielder this summer. That didn't happen, unfortunately, and now the middle of the pitch remains an incredible opportunity for opposing teams.
That's certainly the feeling coming out of the opening two games. Both Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest were able to counter almost at will through the middle. Liverpool simply didn't address it as a problem.
But it sounds as though they might. Or at least, they're hoping to and now a genuinely brilliant midfielder is convinced he can secure a move in January.
That's according to IndyKaila, who has been bang on the money for most things this summer. He reports exclusively that Lamine Camara is eager to move to Liverpool and is 'convinced' of a January transfer.

Aug 21 (Reuters) - The world's top central bank chiefs gather in Jackson Hole this week against a jittery backdrop, half a year into the Iran war and with bond markets rattled by a selloff in long-dated U.S. debt that prompted U.S. Treasury intervention.
Away from Wyoming, there's plenty else going on, from inflation readings around the world and Nvidia's earnings to a South Korean rate decision and an Icelandic vote on whether to revive EU accession talks.
Here's all you need to know about the week ahead in financial markets, by Howard Schneider in Washington, Laura Matthews in New York, Stine Jacobsen in Copenhagen, Gregor Stuart Hunter in Singapore and Samuel Indyk in London.

Big-think or red meat? That's the choice Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh faces as he prepares a keynote address at the Fed's Jackson Hole symposium in Wyoming: expound on his ideas for reforming the central bank, or stick to the nuts and bolts of monetary policy and whether rates are headed higher.

LONDON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar steadied at a near two-month low on Monday following Friday's soft jobs data, as investors awaited this week's inflation data for more clues on the Federal Reserve's rate path.
Data on Friday showed the U.S. economy unexpectedly shed jobs in July while job gains for the prior two months were revised sharply lower, cooling expectations for a Fed rate hike next month.
The soft labour market data adds extra weight to Wednesday's CPI report as investors look for clues on the path of Fed policy.
"It (the labour market data) was a negative event for the dollar," said Francesco Pesole, FX strategist at ING.

NEW YORK/LONDON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar rose against the **** anese yen on Thursday, helped by safe-haven positioning from investors awaiting details on a proposed deal to end the Iran conflict and ahead of the monthly U.S. jobs report.
The dollar has been clawing back some recent intervention-driven losses that had pushed it to a 13-week low against the yen following joint action by **** anese and U.S. Treasury authorities to prop up the currency.
The dollar was last up 0.41% against the yen at 158.41, on track for its third straight session of gains after weakening to as low as 155.20 on Monday, its lowest level since early May.
"When you strengthen the yen, you by definition weaken the dollar and that's part of what happened in the first part of the week since Friday," said John Velis, FX and macro strategist at BNY.

NEW YORK/LONDON, July 17 (Reuters) - Share indexes tumbled around the world on Friday, as heavyweight chip stocks plunged for a third consecutive day as investors reduced bets on artificial intelligence, with China's Moonshot releasing a large AI system.
Meanwhile oil prices rose as the United States and Iran expanded their attacks to hit key infrastructure. The United States struck bridges and an airport in Iran, and Tehran responded by hitting a power and desalination plant in Kuwait.
In the contested Strait of Hormuz, where the renewed conflict has again cut off global energy supplies, U.S. Marines boarded a tanker, and another ship was reported to have been hit by a projectile.
In its third straight day of losses, the Philadelphia semiconductor index dipped to a level 23.5% below its most recent record closing high, reached on June 22. It was last down more than 2% on the day.

NEW YORK/LONDON, July 15 (Reuters) - The dollar slipped against major currencies on Wednesday after softer-than-expected U.S. producer prices reinforced signs of easing inflation, bolstering the view that the Federal Reserve can remain patient on interest rates even as investors weighed renewed strikes on Iran.
The Producer Price Index for final demand dropped 0.3% in June after a downwardly revised 0.6% increase in May, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Wednesday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the PPI unchanged after a previously reported 1.1% advance in May.
The dollar was flat against the yen at 162.19 yen. The euro steadied at $1.1433, while sterling rose 0.44% to $1.3447.
The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the currency against six major peers, softened 0.09% to 100.79. It fell 0.4% in the previous session, its biggest decline in nearly two weeks, after touching its highest level since July 2.
