Summer 2013 Transfer Thread

[TheHowieLama]

I see that Bayern have let Luis Gustavo talk to Wolfsburg. That's a player I'd really like to see here.

 

Agreed - cost Bayern near 20 mil e though so won't come cheap. Be a kick in the sack if we can't compete with Wolfsburg for player.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

Moyes going to bid for screech and has a back up plan to fool United fans when blueshite tell him to fuck off.

3 weeks to get the majority of our important business done. So much for getting things done early.

It's hardly a problem unique to Liverpool, and this Suarez thing has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works.

[Alan Sex]

[Jhinge Machha]

We should have bought Bernard. He is better than Costa, that's for sure, and there is no way he would have chosen Shakhtar over us.

 

read there was a third party involved with this deal.

apparently thats why arsenal never went forward with their deal

[therevivalist]

Have y'all on this forum not heard of Henry's statement with regard to Suarez? Because that seems to take care of all the rumour and concern surrounding Agger as well.

[The Acolyte]

Has Bernard really gone?

[Dr. J]

It looks as if Mourinho is all in for Rooney. If he ends up at Chelsea, the mancs will buy any decent striker still available, I would think. Minus Suarez, of course.

[Elite]

I really hope we have another decent signing up our sleeve because if our business is done for the summer, it doesn't bode well.

I think the reason why we aren't willing to sell Suarez is because we haven't managed to land another attacking option. Personally I think we have enough attacking options providing we stay relatively injury free.

We have a lot of options. The question is are they good enough?

 

But if Suarez stays, I think the most urgent is another CB for the first team. and some competition on the left back.

I was watching ESPN Brazil and they had a long feature about Bernard, lots of footage of him arriving in Ukraine and being shown around. There are 11 Brazilians on the team.

 

According to them, he will receive about 4 million pounds a year (converting reais to pounds), live in a mansion, have his own interpreter, and be given a car with his own driver. All this reported with complete stupefaction.

 

I reckon we couldn't offer the same terms.

£75k per week

[Gym Beglin]

Bernard going to the Ukraine just goes to further highlight what money has done to football.

 

Where's your ambition, you gnome shithouse.

 

Mind you, World Cup next year,he was never going to come here without CL to showcase his talent. Look at Coutinho, tore up the PL, didn't get near the Confederations Cup squad.

75k a week is nothing. The rest if the stuff would be easy for us to offer too.

 

We could have offered the same terms. He went there because there was no other team in for him it seems.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

So are we going to buy somebody now then?

 

9 days left.

9 Days? Not until the window closes. There's another month. They are generally the busiest weeks of the transfer window, though. We've agreed terms with Cissokho, so if we can striker a deal with Valencia then he'll probably be coming in. It feels to me like we're playing poker over Papadopoulos, with them already having bought reinforcements for that area. Costa... who knows.

Are we signing anyone on those wages anymore? We're definitely selling a few.

I meant until the season starts - with Brendan stressing the need to buy early, I would have thought that we'd try bring in our two most important signings before the league starts. Especially considering we have Suarez out for a while.

 

I agree about Papa - I think it's all done but we're trying to get a little off the price. It seems Costa is not interested, because if he was we'd have heard about it by now.

 

Just have a big bad feeling we'll be hearing the 'no value in the market' line when it comes to the forward player. Have we been linked with anyone else?

[FrenchEyeGlass]

I'm not sure mate but I would hope so. If we are going to fight for the top players around Europe we will probably need to.

 

I think we are willing to pay them wages if they are worth it. Downing obviously isn't.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

rTo be fair, we hadn't even been linked to Costa until we'd apparently put in a bid. Who knows. It's a bit of a lottery at the moment, but I'd be surprised if we didn't bring in at least one big money player and possibly a centre back.

[Spy Bee]

Most of the business in this transfer window for all teams is still to be done. All clubs are playing pooker and holding out for the highest/lowest price they can get.

Yep. Stakes are high! The internet whiners are sharpening their fingers and will be out in force.

The Brazilian pundit said the same thing about ambition. Bernard was selected for the Confederations CUp, although he didn't play much. The guy said his football wouldn't improve playing in the Ukrainian league and that would probably hurt his chances for being selected for the World Cup.

 

I'll bet Coutinho is thinking about that.
