We really didn't see this coming last week as Liverpool FC and Brendan Rodgers surprised everyone with the signing of Morocco international winger, Oussama Assaidi.
Liverpool were understood to have interested in Gaston Ramirez with the news from Italy has suggested that the Uruguayan will be joining his compatriot, Suarez and Coates at Anfield.
Southampton are now favourite to complete the signing of Gaston Ramirez despite Bologna delaying the move due to their financial troubles.
A fee and payment plan have been negotiated for the 21-year-old attacking midfielder, who has won nine caps for Uruguay and is reported to be commanding a club record fee of £12million.
Former club Penarol, who own 30 per cent of his registration, are also satisfied by the terms of the agreement.
However, it is understood cash-strapped Bologna are stalling as they seek to secure a loan against the repayments.
Southampton are determined for the transfer to proceed having beaten off competition from Liverpool and Tottenham for Ramirez, but are looking at other options in case the deal collapses.
Ramirez last week outlined his desire to swap Serie A for St Mary's.
What makes Liverpool FC to missed out on a potential big signing? M-O-N-E-Y. Rodgers has spent £11million on Fabio Borini and £15million on Joe Allen. From there, a total of £26million has been use and we could guess that Rodgers' transfer budget are limited to £30million plus fees recoup from players sale.
Poor Clint Dempsey who are desperate to join Liverpool. But without player leaving Anfield, I don't see where do Liverpool FC will find the money for the Fulham' midfielder fee? The Cottagers has slapped a £10million price tag on Dempsey.
All talks on Liverpool signing midfielders but the Reds could lose on one of its striker in the transfer deadline day. Andy Carroll wants Newcastle move but the Toons are reluctant to meet Liverpool's transfer fee. Liverpool are ready to cut their loses and demands £24million in returns from the big Geordie striker.
Liverpool's fourth and fifth signing are very much depend on the sale of Carroll. We would expect Liverpool to sign a relatively unknown striker and a winger to end the summer transfer dealing.

Mr. Pitak Pruittisarikorn, Chief Operating Officer of Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd., said, "The new Honda Accord Hybrid is automotive perfection with many dimensions of advanced technology and safety systems. With its luxury design from exterior to interior, I'm confident that the new Honda Accord Hybrid is the perfect response to the new generation of executives' demands for a car that will reflect their identity and vision of being ahead of others."
The new Honda Accord Hybrid comes with a Sport Hybrid Intelligent Multi Mode Drive (i-MMD). A 2.0-Liter, 16-valve, Atkinson Cycle Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine is combined with two powerful electric motors, an E-CVT transmission, and an ultra-high 1.3 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery that offers better electrical transmission and charging performance, to create a maximum output of 215 horsepower. The driving mode switches intelligently to match all driving conditions, such as an EV Drive Mode that uses only the electric motors to reach speeds up to 120 km/h, a Hybrid Drive Mode, and an Engine Drive Mode. For a sportier and more exciting drive, the new Honda Accord Hybrid includes a Sport Drive Mode. By pressing the "sport" button on the center console, Sport Drive Mode uses the battery to help boost the electric motors for better acceleration. The Sport Hybrid Intelligent Multi Mode Drive (i-MMD) is a full hybrid system that provides power for performance and fuel economy of 23.8 km/L with carbon emissions of only 99 gram/km.
The new Honda Accord Hybrid offers the advanced "Honda SENSING" vehicle safety system that combines a radar and a monocular camera to detect and alert the driver, It also helps control the vehicle when there is a risk of a car accident for the safety of both the driver and pedestrians. The Honda SENSING package features four systems, including:
- Adaptive Cruise Control system (ACC): Not just an ordinary cruise control that maintains the cruising speed set by the driver, Honda's new system scans the distance to and speed of traffic ahead, then automatically adjusts the cruising speed when needed to maintain a proper distance in front of the vehicle.
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS): When there is a vehicle ahead at a distance that poses a risk of collision, the CMBS' audio-visual Multi-Information Display (MID) alerts the driver. This includes vibration alerts inside the steering wheel to alert the driver if the system detects an oncoming vehicle. If the situation is not resolved, the CMBS can apply different levels of autonomous braking action to help reduce vehicle speed. Using sensor detection, the CMBS can also recognize pedestrians.
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Using a camera to detect lane markings helps the driver to maintain the proper lane position by applying corrective torque to the steering wheel.
- Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW): If the car is unintentionally beginning to move out of the detected lane, the LDW will display an alert on the Multi-Information Display (MID) with a vibration alert in the steering wheel. If the situation is not resolved, the brake system will activate to assist the driver in braking to reduce speed to return to a lane marked with a solid line, which reduces the risk of accidents.
The new Honda Accord Hybrid is also equipped with a complete array of safety features including the Honda LaneWatch blind-spot display with a camera on the passenger-side mirror that provides a view on the 7.7 inch screen; a multi-angle rearview camera for better rearward vision when reversing the vehicle with three perspectives: 130-degree, 180-degree, and top-down views; Active Cornering Lights (ACL) that enhance nighttime visibility when the vehicle is turning; Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS); and six airbags including dual front i-SRS airbags, i-Side airbags, and side curtain airbags for advanced safety protection to help prevent driver and passenger injuries for greater safety during every journey.
LED headlights with Daytime Running Lights (DRL); newly-designed blue-frame LED taillights; a Clear Blue accented front grill; rear trunk spoiler; and sporty new alloy wheels give the new Honda Accord Hybrid a uniquely luxurious yet sporty exterior design.
Inside the spacious cabin, the new Honda Accord Hybrid features a full range of standard equipment with premium functions. This includes an Engine Remote Start; a touch-screen audio system that supports Apple CarPlay; a Multi-function Steering Wheel with simple fingertip control of the car's systems; and new sleek brown leather seats.
To ensure the quality of the new Honda Accord Hybrid, Honda provides a 10-year warranty on the battery and a 5-year warranty on the entire Honda Hybrid system with no limit on mileage. Honda is also offering a Privilege Package to extend the warranty period for Ultimate Care for an additional two years or 40,000 kilometers, which means total coverage of five years or 140,000 kilometers and free maintenance (labor/parts/check up) for five years or 100,000 kilometers for customers who buy a new Honda Accord Hybrid from today until 31 August 2016.
The new Honda Accord Hybrid is available in two variants — the HYBRID at 1,659,000 baht and the Hybrid TECH at 1,849,000 baht, with a choice of four colors: Modern Steel Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic, White Orchid Pearl, and Crystal Black Pearl. The interior is available in three colors: ivory, black, and the new brown color.

The Wrekin

Jump To...Description Facilities
Seek the spiritual heart of Shropshire and you'll find the Wrekin. The Wrekin plays an important role in Shropshire folk-lore. To us it represents home, and we love it.
Visitors, pilgrims, honoured guests – we give you the Shropshire toast. "All friends round the Wrekin".The Wrekin is perhaps Shropshire's best known landmark, a curious legendary hill that, from this way it looks like a mountain, and that way, it crouches low. From the top you can see fifteen counties. It was also the inspiration for Tolkien's Middle Earth in the acclaimed series of books - The Lord of The Rings. Tolkien used to live nearby and drew inspiration from the magnificent Shropshire landscape.
It dominates the view of Telford and Ironbridge being 1335 ft tall and who would have guessed that Shropshire folk-lore tells us it was built by a giant who took a dislike to Shrewsbury. The Giant in question was a Welshman who dug a spadeful of soil and planned to dump it into the river severn, flooding the town.
However, whilst slogging across the Shropshire hills, this giant lost his bearings and having only got as far as Wellington stopped for a rest. Sitting on the roadside he called out to a passing cobbler trying to find the direction to Shrewsbury. He told the cobbler he was going to flood the town. The cobbler, a quick thinking business man, thought for a moment and realized if the giant flooded Shrewsbury, he'd lose all his customers.
The cobbler quickly emptied his sack of worn out shoes onto the roadside and told the giant that he'd worn these shoes out himself coming from Shrewsbury. The giant, thinking better of his plan then decided to forget about Shrewsbury and go home instead. The Giant dumped his spadeful of soil on the roadside, and then scraped his boots clean with his spade. The mound of earth became the Wrekin and the smaller hill where he scraped his boots became the Ercall.

Chelsea fear they may have to omit John Terry from their travelling party for the Fifa Club World Cup in Japan, with the European champions' captain still to rejoin his team-mates in full training as he recovers from knee ligament damage sustained in last month's draw with Liverpool.
Rafael Benítez, who has lost Mikel John Obi for three domestic games after the midfielder admitted a Football Association misconduct charge over his clash with the referee Mark Clattenburg, assessed Terry with his medical staff at the club's Cobham training base on Thursday. There remain concerns over the centre-half's ability to twist on the joint injured after Luis Suarez inadvertently landed on his right leg.
Chelsea will have only one more full training session ahead of Saturday's game at Sunderland and are due to fly to Tokyo from Newcastle airport immediately after the match on Wearside.
Should Terry not participate in that final session, he would potentially make the 12-hour journey to Tokyo having not played any part in training for almost a month, and presumably with little chance of featuring in next Thursday's semi-final against either Monterrey or Ulsan Hyundai.
The final could put Chelsea against the Brazilian club Corinthians and is scheduled for 16 December, with Benítez and his staff left to weigh up whether it would be more beneficial for the 31-year-old to remain in Surrey working on his rehabilitation in readiness for the busy Christmas period ahead.
Chelsea play Leeds at Elland Road in a Capital One Cup quarter-final just three days after the Club World Cup final in Yokohama.
A decision will be made on Friday, with Frank Lampard and Daniel Sturridge, who have had calf and hamstring injuries respectively, expected to be passed fit to travel to Japan. Whether they can play at Sunderland remains to be seen.
Mikel will miss the Sunderland match after emerging from a personal hearing in front of an independent regulatory commission with a three-game ban and a fine of £60,000. The referees union, Prospect, immediately revealed its dismay at the "leniency" of the ban incurred after Mikel entered the referee's room after a 3-2 defeat by Manchester United in October and threatened the official in the belief Clattenburg had racially abused him on the pitch.
The commission's independent chairman, Christopher Quinlan QC, stressed it and the FA accepted that "at the time he threatened the referee, the player genuinely believed that the referee had racially abused him" and, had that not been the case, "the suspension would have been significantly longer".
The FA investigated the allegations and found there was no case for Clattenburg to answer. Mikel will also to miss the game at Leeds and the a Premier League game match against Aston Villa.
The grind of Thursday and Sunday fixtures will disrupt established routines, not least with the Londoners due to play away at Manchester City, who are out of Europe altogether, on the Sunday after the second leg of their round-of-32 tie.
"City will be able to concentrate fully on the Premier League and the FA Cup, but I'm sure we will have a good go at the Europa League," said Gary Cahill.
"It's disappointing to have gone out of the Champions League. At Chelsea you're expected to go through the group stage, so it's a blow, but there's nothing we can do about it now. Anyway, I don't think anything could spoil the memory of that night in Munich [in May]. Times like that don't come around in football very often, so it will stick in everyone's minds what we did achieve that night."

BRISBANE, Australia - Maria Sharapova made a triumphant return to the WTA at the Brisbane International on Monday night, serving up a straight set victory in her first match in over four months.
Watch highlights, interviews and much more video from Brisbane right here on wtatennis.com!
Having been out of action since August due to a right shoulder injury, not many knew what to expect from Sharapova - but she certainly delivered, never facing a break point in eight service games and breaking four times en route to a 63 60 win over Caroline Garcia. The second set took 25 minutes.
"I think I was just really determined to get back on the court," Sharapova said. "It's been a while. I think the whole team was really ready to go out. I knew I was going to play Monday night a little bit ago already. I got goosebumps when I heard because I was looking forward to today even a week ago.
"It's those days you work for. It was a big step to come and a big step to play out there tonight."
The No.3-seeded Sharapova was given a warm reception as she took center court under the lights.
"It's been three or four years in the making, so when I was walking out on the court I was like, 'Whew, that took a while.' Last year I had a few practices but didn't end up playing. But it's just as exciting for me as it is for the fans that came to watch me play. I've been meaning to play this tournament for a long time. Poor tournament director, Cam - he doesn't believe it until I walk out on the court anymore!"
Jelena Jankovic, the No.4 seed, had it much tougher against Francesca Schiavone, rallying from 4-2 down in the second set and even fighting off a set point later on in the set but closing it out, 62 76(6).
No.5 seed Angelique Kerber cruised past Kristina Mladenovic, 62 62; No.8 seed Carla Suárez Navarro beat Hsieh Su-Wei, 62 61; and No.9 seed Dominika Cibulkova beat Heather Watson, 64 63.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Kaia Kanepi and Aussies Casey Dellacqua and Ashleigh Barty won too.
Dellacqua, a 36 62 63 winner over Galina Voskoboeva, will face No.2 seed Victoria Azarenka next.
"Obviously her and Serena are two of the best players in the world, so to come up against Vika in the second round, obviously I'm not expected to win," Dellacqua said. "I will just go out there. I feel at this point in my career, that I get to play an opponent like Vika is just a great opportunity, and I'm going to enjoy the moment in front of the Australian crowd and just try and do what I do well out there."
