Summer 2013 Transfer Thread

[Josef Svejk]

Please let that be true!

[TheHitman]

That Borini sell or keep deserves it's own thread with a poll 12million, shiiit.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I like Borini and think he could be good, given the chance. However, if they offered 12m, we should take it. He's obviously highly thought of in Italy, and he's young, so a deal would be decent for both.

[The Golden Eel]

12 million euro, what did we pay for him?

[Jairzinho]

Why would they start the bidding at 12m euros?

 

I'd take 3m.

[dave u]

€12m for Borini?

 

*rushes off to find that dancing Van Damme gif*

[dave u]

Been linked with Bertrand and Cissoko in the last day or two as well, so looks like a left back may be next.

 

Agree with that if true, loan out Robinson and Flanagan for the season and have Johnson, Kelly, Enrique and whoever fighting it out for the full back spots. We may see a bit of rotation in those positions this season because it's physically very demanding given how Rodgers likes them to play.

[The Golden Eel]

We should just sell Flanagan, let hte lad have a career somewhere more appropriate as he's never going to make it here

In the press conference today in Melbourne, Rodgers said he wants a left back and an attacking player as his last two signings.

 

He said a back up left back, so it appears Enrique will still be first choice, which I think is right after the season he has just had.

[The Golden Eel]

Bertrand would probably be a decent signing but I guess he'll need to see what happens at Chelsea as he'd basically be swapping there for the bench here. Though he could be lucky to make the bench at Chelsea or get a game at all

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Why would they start the bidding at 12m euros?

 

Because he's one of the brightest stars from the recent U21 tournament and did very well in Serie A. They're probably also hissing at the English for writing him off after a handful of starts.

 

I'd take 3m.

 

That would be mental.

Johnson needed a rest towards the end of last season. I think he had a very good season but looked knackered by the end of it.

 

Flanagan really needs a loan. Wasted season for him last year.

[Guest LFD]

I'd sell Flanagan, don't rate him at all.

 

Robinson doesn't appear to be getting any better. I'd keep him and would loan him out, but I have doubts whether he will be good enough.

Roberto Soldado too much for Tottenham at £25m

Tottenham are in danger of missing out on a striker for the second time in less than a week with Liverpool closing in on Roberto Soldado.

 

Spurs switched their attention to the Valencia forward following Christian Benteke’s U-turn on Friday, when he decided to extend his contract with Aston Villa.

 

Standard Sport understands Benteke agreed to a new deal, which tripled his wages to £60,000-a-week, after it became evident Spurs would not pay the £25million asking price.

 

But the north London club are now being asked to pay the same amount for Soldado after having a £17m offer rejected. While Spurs are hesitating to meet the asking price, Liverpool are prepared to meet the buy-out clause in his contract.

 

The price for Soldado, who scored 24 goals last season, will go up to £31m after August 3 but Liverpool hope to agree a deal before then.

 

Speculation is rife that the Spain international is being signed to replace Luis Suarez at Anfield but coach Brendan Rodgers insists that he is not for sale.

 

Suarez, who is one of Arsenal’s main targets, has reported for the club’s pre-season tour in Australia but Rodgers plans to have more talks with him over his future today.

But we bought him for about 12m euros didn't we? Surely they'd start the bidding a lot lower, even if they eventually have to pay 12m.

 

Obviously I'd rather we got more than 3m, but I wouldn't be arsed if he left for that much. Can't see where he's going to play.

[Jairzinho]

Please can we buy Soldado. Please.

[J-V]

We should just sell Flanagan, let hte lad have a career somewhere more appropriate as he's never going to make it here

 

Correct.

[Jairzinho]

Yeah, I'd get rid of Flanagan.

Fuck off, he ain't worth 17m, how old is he?

 

If we spend 20m plus on soldado when players like higuain and damiao are going for similar amounts I'll be gutted.

[PaulMcC]

Apparently Valencia's president has said Cissokho's joining Liverpool on loan with option to buy.

28.

 

81 goals in the last three seasons.

Good signing if true, different strengths to Enrique and I think he will suit premier league.

His age should mean he doesn't fit profile of players we are looking at especially at that price.

 

IMO he's just a finisher and we need someone with more to there game, I certainly wouldn't be happy replacing sturridge with soldado.

I disagree Rashid.

 

The reason being that we are crying out for some more experienced heads in our team. Soldado would be perfect if we are selling Borini and keeping Suarez would make it an even better deal for us.

[Garrincha]

Soldado isn't coming here, i'd highly doubt that he's even a target. Only the Daily Star, caught offside (biggest bullshitting site) and the evening standard are mentioning this. It looks like nonsense to me.
