Cissokho agrees terms with Liverpool

The Valencia defender has revealed the two clubs remain at loggerheads over the deal, with the Liga side keen for a sale and the Reds hoping for a loan with an option to buy Valencia left-back Aly Cissokho has revealed that he has reached an agreement with Liverpool and that it is now up
to the clubs to negotiate a deal to take him to Anfield.
The Premier League side have been busy in the transfer market with four signings to date - Simon Mignolet, Kolo Toure, Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto - but are light on full-backs following the retirement of Jamie Carragher and Jack Robinson's loan move to Blackpool.
And Cissokho has now claimed he is close to joining Liverpool, but states the two club are at loggerheads over the structure of the deal with Valencia after a sale and the Reds keen on a loan-to-buy option.
"Liverpool have made me an offer and it is true that I have
reached an agreement with them," he told Le 10 Sport . "It is
now up to the clubs to agree terms. I expect to know more
later this week.
"If nothing happens this week, it probably means that I will
not be going to Liverpool.
"The conditions of the transfer are the problem. Liverpool prefer a loan deal with an option to buy, while Valencia want to sell straight away. If the transfer doesn't take place, it's not
a problem either. I am feeling well at Valencia."
Cissokho made 20 appearances for Valencia last term after joining from Lyon on a four-year deal.

Mourinho vows to fight for Rooney signing 'until the last day'

Chelsea have seen two bids already rejected for the Manchester United striker, but the Blues boss
is hopeful of seeing progress befor the end of the transfer window
Jose Mourinho has warned Manchester United that Chelsea will continue their pursuit of wantaway striker Wanye
Rooney "until the last day".
The Blues have seen two bids for the England international rejected by the Premier League champions - with their
most recent offer thought to total £30 million with add-ons - with the forward understood to fear a backlash from
the fans if the club force him to stay at Old Trafford.
Rooney was told to train with the reserves on Thursday with
manager David Moyes angered by his efforts to engineer a
move, and Mourinho insists he will not stop chasing the 27-
year-old.
"There is no time limit on it," Mourinho is quoted as saying by
the Daily Mail.
"We have identified the player as one we would like to have
with us. We have done it in an ethical way and we are going
to do that until the last day. We are doing things legally,
making the official bid directly to the club."
Mourinho, though, insists no Chelsea official has spoken to
Rooney regarding a move to Stamford Bridge without the
consent of United but is hopeful of entering negotiations
before the end of the transfer window.
"There have been no direct relations with the player, no
contact - absolutely nothing. So let's see if things change."

Leah Remini Files Missing Persons Report For Shelly Miscavige, Scientology Leader's Wife

Leah Remini is allegedly still
battling Scientology, and the
whereabouts of the long-unseen
wife of church leader David
Miscavige is the sticking point.
The actress has filed a missing
person’s report with the LAPD
regarding Shelly Miscavige,
whose vanishing indirectly led to
Leah leaving the religion.
“Our missing persons unit
informed us that [Remini] did file
a missing person report on a
Shelly Miscavige,” a spokesperson for the LAPD said.
“That is all we are going to say at
this time.”
News of her LAPD filing was first
reported by anti-Scientology
journalist Tony Ortega, who also
was among the first to report on
her rift with the church.
Leah Remini left Scientology in
part, due to blowback she
allegedly received after inquiring
into Shelly Miscavige’s apparent
vanishing in recent years.
Ortega reports that when she
inquired about her whereabouts, church spokesman Tommy Davis told her she “didn’t have the f***ing rank to ask about Shelly.”
The blog noted that the unofficial word is that Shelly has been at the church’s Lake Arrowhead compound in San Bernardino County, Calif., since 2005-06.
Neither David Miscavige (Tom
Cruise’s best man in his wedding
to Katie Holmes) or other
officials have confirmed her
presence there, or her health.
Remini’s criticism of David was
also said to be a key factor in her
decision to leave the controversial church, which she
insists she will not be silenced
by.
Scientology has not commented
on the missing persons report

Thinking of posting a photo of
your paycheck on Instagram?
Think again.
A New York man, apparently
frustrated with the cost of living

to photo sharing site.
Not surprisingly, a report from
NYC's WPIX confirms that father
of four-year-old twins, who is/
was a top Lacoste salesman, was
fired as a result.
What happened to the days
where you didn't tell anyone
how much money you make?
Apparently, they are gone.
Wade Groom says it was not
meant as a commentary about
his employer, but was nonetheless canned for violating
Lacoste's confidentiality agreement.
Social media takes down another
victim. Let this be a cautionary
tale friends.

Usher's Ex-Wife to Aunt: Say It To My Face!!! How'd My Son Nearly Die On Your Watch?

Usher's ex-wife has one serious
question before her emergency
custody hearing today -- how the hell
is it possible to let a 5-year-old nearly
drown if you're supposed to be
babysitting him? -- and only Usher's
aunt can answer it ... but she's
nowhere to be found.Sources close to
the situation tell TMZ, Tameka
Raymond attempted to serve Usher's
aunt Rena with a subpoena to testify
at the custody hearing today -- where
Tameka will argue she deserves
primary custody of her and Usher's
two sons -- but Rena couldn't be
tracked down.We're told Tameka
wanted Rena at the hearing so her
lawyers could ask about what led up
to the near-drowning of her 5-year-
old son on Monday ... when Rena was
supposed to be watching him ... but
without the subpoena, Rena doesn't
have to show up.Even without Rena,
however, Tameka has plenty of ammo
to fight for custody -- and we're told
her biggest weapon is that there was
no drain cover on the pool the day
Usher Raymond V nearly drowned.As
we reported, the 5-year-old got his
arm caught in the drain and nearby
contractors had to dive in to save him.
Rena called 911.Usher currently has
primary custody of the ex-couple's
two sons ... but Tameka hopes to
change that today.

Usher Raymond V since the horrific
accident on Monday ... and it paints a
picture of motherly love and
protection. Tameka's arms are
wrapped around her son, and he's
surrounded by get-well-soon
balloons.It's a subtle dig at Usher ...

for the pool accident, claiming he isn't
an attentive father -- despite having

and she's already filed legal docs
attempting to get custody back.

Famous Shark Attack Victim Coolest Bionic Robot Limbs We've Ever Seen!!!

Okay fine, we use a lot of hyperbole,
but seriously ... famed shark attack
victim Paul de Gelder's artificial limbs
are scientific MASTERPIECES!!! You
have to see 'em to believe 'em.FYI,
Paul -- who appeared on Discovery
channel's "I Escaped Jaws" -- lost his
right leg and hand during a vicious
shark attack in Sydney, Australia back
in 2009 -- and has since been
outfitted with what he calls the "best
commercially available" prosthetics in
the world ... worth roughly
$250,000.The hand is what's called an
I-LIMB, which uses electrodes to track
muscular movement in the remaining
portion of Paul's arm to operate
individual fingers and grip things. It's
insane.The hand costs roughly
$100,000, but the leg costs even
more -- it's called the X2 and Paul
says it goes for around $150,000. He
can pretty much walk and move like
natural. Science is awesome. Also
