Summer 2013 Transfer Thread

[WaltonRed]

City after Papadopolous now, we're going to miss out on him too aren't we?

 

There will be no biggun so to speak

[Mojo]

Willian doesn't look so hot on YouTube, so he's out, but Doumbia does -- shit hot in fact.

Doumbia is a god on FIFA.

 

Papa said he wouldn't move til he was fully healed and ready....we'll see how true that was when City offer a huge package.

[Dr. J]

Manchester United have taken the top-level decision that Wayne Rooney will not be sold to Chelsea at any cost whatever the potential risks of keeping an unhappy player

 

If Mourinho doesn't get E'too, how long before he goes for Suarez?

[The Acolyte]

You think Yanks would sell if after a year we haven't progressed into the champions league?

 

When financial fair play turns out to be the red herring everyone here knows it to be......you bet your arse.

 

They painted themselves into a corner by referring to FFP at every opportunity. When it turns out to be a crock of shit what then? They're a consortium, they won't be up to pumping millions into a lame dinosaur that is LFC under the leadership of a rookie manager with no plan B. Without Europe we are running on empty when it comes to sponsorship. We won't get Warrior level deals if we are still floating in the 6th-7th position at the end of the season. If we end up out of the European places, stadium talk will dry up, Rodgers will talk about going back to the drawing board, it will go deathly quiet on transfers and before you know it Rodgers is out we'll float around rudderless during May/June before being bought for buttons by another consortium as all the best Arabs are taken!

The Times is saying we are after Willian. This seems like another optimistic target but the only other big club being linked with a move for him right now is Spurs. If we can't convince him to come here with Lucas, Coutinho and hopefully Siquiera here then I would be worried.

Spurs have Sandro and Paulinho.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Not all that arsed about Willian, to be honest.

Say What?

Good to watch but not really a goalscorer.

18:09 BST: Liverpool MD Ian Ayre is holding talks to sign Granada's Guilherme Siqueira for £6 million, according to Sky Sports News.

 

18:00 BST: El Mundo Deportivo believes Fiorentina are pushing to sign Xabi Alonso, whose Real MAdrid contract has 12 months to run. Fiorentina director Eduardo Macia has apparently been speaking to the midfielder's agent.

********** MELTDOWN WARNING *************

[Walton Park]

Tony Barrett reporting we are definitely interested in Willian.

 

......then Spurs came along and he opted for them.

[WhiskeyJar]

Regarding Willian, we are rumoured to have bidded 35 million. Pinch of salt and all that.

I'm guessing you can probably knock £5-£10 million off that.

Tony tweeted:

Liverpool are interested in Willian (who is keen to move to the Prem League). Whether they get him is another matter but they do want him.

Did some digging and its an ESPN rumour but surely 35 million is steep. No sure where the story originated from.

[Adebisi]

Never seen him play but that seems steep. Great head of hair on him though.

Is he tweeting in the future?

[CWD82]

Willian is a ridiculously good player. Better than Mkhtaryan in many ways. Would be interesting to see where we would play him given Rodgers comments about Coutinho being the number 10 because that's where Willian would play

Is he not a striker then but more of centre forward?

[therevivalist]

Spurs have Sandro and Paulinho.

 

Spurs can overpay for him, of course, especially if they sale Bale and trump us not for the first time; they would've unlimited resources at their disposal. The Russian club is said to have paid 32 m for the player, but are selling on a cut price. Wonder if that would be within our range. He certainly fits the profile of a Rodger's player; I think it would be a success if we can capture him.

Don't know how that happened TBH.

[WhiskeyJar]

Some optimism around here finally.

He played wide left for Shakhtar - they were quite a side to watch.
