Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

[Remmie]

A hypothetical quandry I have been musing is if I preferred us to have got an underwhelming Coutinho replacement in during January, like Lanzini who may still do enough for us to scramble 4th, or hold out for Klopp's first choice in the summer hoping this isnt a myth/Keita. Think Ill just about plump for the latter

[El Dangerous]

The greatest trick FSG ever pulled was convincing the world the players we need didn't exist.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I watched that talking reds they said predictive text turns Naby Kieta's name to Baby Keith. Doesnt on my phone I'm expecting him to be underwhelming now

Lads - we need to fight fire w fire - Anutit has gone well past the line in this -- if he is T - we are A

ALISSON LINKED WITH LIVERPOOL. SOMEONE THINKS HE’S GOOD

 

From one superb goalkeeper to another. Roma’s Alisson is surely the best stopper in Serie A on current form, so it’s no surprise he is also being linked with a move.

 

Not quite sold on the source here, former Roma coach Roberto Negrisolo. I’m sure he means well, but does he actually have any sway? No, he just thinks that Alisson is really good.

 

Anyway, here’s what Negrisolo has to say:

 

 

“Is Alisson worth €50m? Don’t be silly, he’s worth far more than that. I don’t think many people have realised who Alisson is. This guy is a phenomenon. He is the number one of number ones. He is the Messi of goalkeepers, because he has the same mentality as Messi. He is a goalkeeper who can mark an era.

 

“There is absolutely no comparison with Gianluigi Donnarumma, because Alisson is extraordinary. The first time I saw him play, he wasn’t yet on the Roma books. I watched him play for Brazil and he made an enormous impression on me.

Liverpool reportedly want him in the summer. It makes a huge amount of sense

Yep

Strong at the back you say.....

[Ranxerox]

We should submit a cheeky bid.

Thomas Lemar, mumble mumble mumble

Guys, while I'm not averse to the pics, they'd be better with NSFW tags.

LIVERPOOL GOING BACK IN ON LEMAR

 

To the Independent now, and their claim that Liverpool will go back in for Thomas Lemar this summer.

 

It’s sensible stuff, given that Liverpool bid £78m for Lemar last summer and will have been reassured by the news that the 22-year-old has turned down a new contract at Monaco.

 

They say that Lemar still prefers a move to Liverpool over Arsenal, a position that hasn’t changed since last summer. Fair enough, looking at the Premier League table

France and Monaco forward Thomas Lemar, 22, is not on Liverpool's list of targets for the summer transfer window. (Liverpool Echo)

#LFC cool interest in Thomas Lemar. No longer a target as Klopp looks at other options for the summer.

[Red House]

Still believe that Pulisic will be our main summer target. Whether we will actually get him is another matter, but fully expect us to at least monitor the fuck out of him.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Not surprised. He was grossly overpriced, which puts better players in the frame.

[El Dangerous]

I agree on Pulisic but I can't see how Dortmund part with any less than Dembele went for and I don't see us paying that although if we ever were to it would be on him.

[Lee909]

Fekir hopefully

[BCM]

I agree on Pulisic but I can't see how Dortmund part with any less than Dembele went for and I don't see us paying that although if we ever were to it would be on him.

 

If they overpay on Pulisic it will be because how much they think he can bring in if he becomes the face of US football

[El Dangerous]

Exactly. I think they'd see the value in having Pulisic in their portfolio, as depressing as that sentence is.

[Anubis]

The problem is, so will United and he's reputed to be a United fan.
