What They're Saying
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes (via Sky Sports): "It's obvious at the moment that he [Bojan] is not quite there yet [with his fitness] and he understands that, but with the progress he is making then he will get there very soon. But it's one of those things that will certainly take a bit of time."
Liverpool Prepare Shock Toni Kroos Bid
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers on newly acquired James Milner (via Liverpool Echo): "When there was the possibility he was available [from Manchester City], we were surprised, but hopeful we could get him. His talent is undeniable. He is in two-and-a-half hours before he trains, and he gives his maximum in his work. He prepares himself as an elite player should."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: For the sake of Rodgers' job, Christian Benteke must prove to be the £32.5 million signing he paid for. In 29 appearances with West Ham last season, the 24-year-old finished with 13 goals and two assists.
