Stickied Transfer Rumours 2018/19

[AFCB_Mark]

Seems worth a punt then from what I read, but seems he's more attacking than he is a defender. Which whilst typical of Howe, isn't exactly what we ideally need when we have attacking defenders already and we're struggling for proper centre backs!

Still, least we're going to be as entertaining as ever to watch.

Looks like Klopp is gutting a lot of the players that have come from Liverpool's youth system. I wonder whether he'll get any stick for it?... I think I'll be wondering a long time.

 

[HarvSFC]

Apparently Lille only want 20mill + bonuses for him!

He's injured at the moment too. Not expected back until mid-September, so won't get a pre-season and will have to play catch up for match fitness.

May put off some English clubs.

Nah, mostly fringe players who were not likely to make the squad this year or wanted out. And for some like Ibe and Smith the club has a buy back clause .......just in case .

Linked with Jetro Willems now. LB.

Liverpool's signings will definitely help them get closer to securing a Europa League spot next season. I imagine a 6th or 7th place finish will be the aim.

Awesome crosser of the ball. Better than most wingers. Think he started out as a winger.

 

[Stevencc]

Good to see them trying their best to kick Benteke out of one door as they usher in someone who can cross a ball through another.

I think if we didn't take the £30m from Crystal Palace, we're going to keep him.

There's still an excellent striker in there - you just need to play to his strengths a bit more.

 

[G.B]

yes mate, kick it at his face init. said it from day one. liverpool fans knew better though, educating us on his "deceptively brilliant ball skills, excellent technique and top class link up play". he scored an overhead kick once dontchaknow.

Trust me when I say, I don't need you to tell me that.

Good point mate, I remember them saying that.

Nothing surprises me with them anymore to be quite frank with you, mate.

 

[Abertawe]

We did try telling them but they started crying and claimed anti-Liverpool bias.

Why am I not surprised, mate?

If Benteke is so bad, why hasn't his market value dropped after a sub par season?

Stevencc can talk. His lot pay a striker £300k a week to do sweet F A. They also got a midfielder on £180k a week, for doing the same thing.

Nice work if you can get it!

 

[Stevencc]

More tears.

It seems like Pagnell is the only Liverpool fan capable of constructing a sentence without blubbering on here these days.

"9. Christian Benteke
- A good player I think, but I don't see him working with Coutinho at all. He'd be more of a success for Chelsea."

Wrote that in my squad review before last season. Should keep doing them, it's been very useful in hindsight. For some reason you can't quote blog posts though. MODS!!!!!!

Please delete duplicate posts when you do them, I just deleted three of them from you Kopper.

Being reported that terms are agreed with Brad Smith and he comes to Bournemouth for a medical tomorrow.

The deal includes a buy back option for Liverpool that expires after two years. Which presumably is the same as Ibe.

Presumably means Mings moves to CB now (once he's fully fit again) now that Daniels and Smith will fight for LB.

 

[smat]

I like this buy-back stuff. It's clever.

 

[Abertawe]

Liverpool think they're Barcelona.

 

[G.B]

probably the same reason you just paid £25mil for a midfielder who cost £14mil a year ago, had half a dozen good games last season, and saw his team relegated without a fight. it's like the same reason a pint of milk no longer costs tuppence and that mate.

 

[SALTIRE]

We're all fretting over Wijnaldum of course because if Steve McLaren couldn't get a tune out of him, I'm sure Klopp won't either...

 

[G.B]

point spectacularly missed salty mate

Good thinking mate - you should buy loads of average players that have failed under shit managers now that you've got Klopp to polish turds.

 

[Nath]

Reports in Brazil that we're willing to pay €38m for Gabriel Jesus.

For those who don't know, he's basically the dogs bollocks -

 

[Nilsson]

They're probably just using United's name to bump up his price, signing another attacker shouldn't really be on our agenda right now if we want to finally give our squad some balance.
