ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

If Man City pursue this transfer at the sums being quoted, they need their collective English and Arabic heads testing.

With that lot its not about the money though, its about them being able to chortle amongst themselves how they were able to take a player off the mighty Liverpool FC.
 
Yesterday French radio station RMC reported that Monaco's Lucas Ocampos could STAY on loan at Marseille for another season despite interest from Premier League clubs Liverpool AND West Ham.

Italian site Tuttomercato (truly the Devil's work) then picked up on the story and pretty much carried it as their own, as per usual.

What happened next is a tall tale of how it's done during silly season, ladies and gentleman.

Out of thin air, The Telegraph produced this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...r-Lucas-Ocampos-linked-with-Anfield-move.html

The story had evolved slightly. Not only is Ocampos potentially staying at Marseille completely ignored but it's Liverpool's interest that is highlighted in the title ("Anfield move"). In addition, a £14m valuation has been dragged out of thin air. Liverpool have, apparently, also maintained their original interest in him back in 2011 (according to who?). Oh, and don't forget the "according to reports in Italy" - The Telegraph must be ashamed to cite their source (even Italians think it's a joke for information).

So there you have it, that's how it's done. If your RS mate texts you tomorrow saying "here lad, have you heard we're in for that Ocampos fella?", you can now tell them this tall tale from Bainesontoast.
