Liverpool are beginning to plan for life without Fernando Torres as they look to spend the money generated from the World Cup winner's departure.

According to the Guardian, Liverpool will increase their bid for Blackpool?s wantaway captain, Charlie Adam, on Monday. The Merseyside club have had a ?4m bid rejected by the Lancashire club but are willing to bid up to ?10m to get their man.

Liverpool are also looking into the possibility of signing Aston Villa?s England international Ashley Young. The winger?s contract runs out at the end of next season and has thus far refused to sign a new deal which may force Villa?s hand if they receive a suitable offer.

The Reds are reportedly ready to offer ?18m for the player to test the resolve of Gerard Houllier and Villa owner Randy Lerner.

Adam is overpriced in my opinion, but Ashley Young could be a great signing for Liverpool, with Babel gone, and Torres leaving, Liverpool lack pace.

A few musings from Kenny Dalglish on this most frantic of days. He said at a news conference on Monday morning: "We've not brought anyone in as a replacement for anyone else. Movement is part and parcel of football but the most important people at Liverpool Football Club are the ones who want to be here."

(CNN) -- Real Madrid are now seven points behind rivals Barcelona at the top of the Spanish Primera Liga table after slumping to a shock 1-0 defeat at struggling Osasuna.

Javier Camunas scored the only goal of the game in the 62nd-minute to lift Osasuna up to 16th place and consign Madrid to only their second league defeat of the season.

Just heard on Radio 1 news that Liverpool have made a 30 million bid for Newcastle's Andy Carroll, which had been rejected apparently!

Damn, this could be a busy day.

Two Americans on opposite career trajectories: Michael Bradley is on loan to Aston Villa from Borussia Moenchengladbach until the end of the season, and Freddy Adu is on loan to Rizespor (Turkish second division) from Benfica.

Lot of money for the hairy biker.

I agree, Adam is over rated as well, I wouldn't pay more then ?6m for him at best

[rappy!]

gotta love transfer day!

"Re 1353. just seen Fernando Torres coming in on the Thames on a speedboat..."

Rumours are Liverpool have paid /will pay 10m.

[rappy!]

Rumours are Liverpool have paid /will pay 10m.

does that mean they have sold Torres? because surely they cant afford to spend 10m on a player who really has just proven himself in the EPL for 4 months at most

[rappy!]

"Unless big late offer for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, he's staying at Southampton. He trained today & senior source tells me club NOT in any talks."
