Stickied Transfer Rumours 2018/19

[G-Dragon]

Most players say that tbh. Bayern want him gone imo.

 

[voltage]

Loris Karius will be a great deal for Liverpool who's in need of a good keeper. And he's also very young and in Klopp's command he can start building an excellent career at Premier League as well.

 

[PDS]

Our local journo now reporting that we're apparently pretty close to signing Ryan Mason; who has for some reason earmarked us as the club he wants to come to.

We need any sort of midfielder, and an ambitious young English one is the sort of player Eddie Howe has form of working well with and improving. £2m would be an absolute steal too.

 

[Stevencc]

Are we certain Karius has not been bought to play backup to Mignolet or at least to compete with him rather than as an outright replacement? I seem to recall Klopp offering Simon a new deal recently and Liverpool have one of the worst backup keepers ever seen since Brad Jones in Bogdan.

Could be but he will replace Mignolet in no time. One mistake and he will be replaced. People are just skeptic because he is coming for a very low price.

Fair enough - if he is as good (or has potential as high) as people say then £4.7m represents excellent value for money.

A Dutch paper that apparently has strong ties to Ibrahimovic's agent is reporting the maestro is coming to Old Trafford.

Please, please, please, please.

Ibra to Old Trafford has always seemed likely, but just through kinda adding things up before now. How pleased would y'all be with him?

Only so little due to a release clause it seems, but still, superb value. I also guess Klopp has thought it's probably best to try to nurture Mignolet's confidence and protect his value as he's a sap.

For what'd clearly be a short stint I'd be absolutely delighted. We need a striker and he would be a good influence on the younger players.

Not too keen on his vanity though, although with Mourinho coming in too that might turn into a double negative.

 

[Stevencc]

Ibra is the man - I'd love him here. It's not a risk-free move, he will be nearing 35 by the start of the season and he would be joining the most physical, high-paced league at the worst time in his career. Still, it's hard not to get excited at the prospect of him spending a season here.

 

[Christian Slater]

The report mentions he wants to get into coaching and United are willing to offer him that chance.

 

[merseyboyred]

There were those reports from Sweden yesterday that he'd be offered the player/assistant role, perhaps they were true.

 

[Christian Slater]

It's also said he'll be joining within the next 48 hours, possibly tieing in with Mourinho or shortly after. It makes sense. Probably won't happen now.

 

[JimJams]

Mourinho and Ibra with the Swede learning coaching/management from Jose is a good look in my opinion.
I also don't think Ibras age really matters. Not for 90 minutes anyway, perhaps he'll need to be treated differently during the fixture congestion but I doubt he'd have any major issues.

 

[Nilsson]

The report mentions he wants to get into coaching and United are willing to offer him that chance.

That would make me more comfortable with the move, if he's coming here with the intention to teach then the likes of Martial and Rashford could really benefit by having him around. But given his age I won't be at all disappointed if it doesn't happen.

If this is true from our local that Mason has activity choosen Bournemouth and got in touch with Adam Smith, then I'd say that quite a coup for us.

Young English and with some top flight background already, it's a dream signing for us.

If we can complete it, then Howe will improve him I've no doubt about that.

Betting also suspended on it. Looks like it's definitely going to happen now.

 

[JoshBCFC]

Barton also seems to be heading off to Rangers

 

[Stevencc]

He should be a calming influence in the Old Firm games, eh?

The reliable Dortmund journalist Röckenhaus believes that Götze's former agent advised him to return to Dortmund.

"Ay, lads, if they come wanting to wind you up, snap 'em in 'alf, kay?"

And so Gotze sacked him. Ouch.

 

[G-Dragon]

Remember that Benzema inside a plane pic that got all Arsenal fans hyped up and excited? Well...

This time it actually might be true

Any chance you are planning to sell Eunan O'Kane? I believe we have a sell-on and could do with the money...

Howe likes Eunan a lot but he needs to move on and get first choice games in the Championship somewhere, I could certainly see a move happening.

 

[Gilly?]

Good to see Liverpool getting some business done early. I really hope we can persuade Gotze to come on over but the fact we lost the Europa League and now have no European football of any kind could be the kicker.

If Bayern want rid regardless of his desire to stay then he'll have a lot of suitors.

 

[JimJams]

Like Utd.

 

[G-Dragon]

I think a CB (in addition to Matip) and a CDM should be a priority in terms of transfer. While Gotze might be an improvement on our team, we already have 3 players who play in his position.

Bogdan is out on his arse. What happens to Ward though is anyone's guess.
