Emre Can

[Gym Beglin]

Juventus are sniffing at all our players when it comes to a loan with option to buy

 

 

I think the loan fee thing is something we could look at a bit more.

 

Both in terms of off-setting some of the likes of Markovic, Sakho, Ings, but also in terms of looking at potential targets. 

 

You get to have your cake and eat it, so the end 'fee' is set at something like £17m for Sakho, and over the course of a good season on loan he might prove tempting.  Whereas at present, we're going to insist on £30m with him sat wanking at home when we're playing.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Gylfi Sigurdsson is being quoted at £50m and there are people who think £27m for a 23 year old regular German international is good value?

 

Fuck that.

People who haven't a clue.

[Funkasy]

Gylfi is a premier league mini star and the talisman of iceland team. Id say hes worth more then Can with 6 months left before he signs for someone else for free.

[jimmycase]

1) We're not selling to a stupid/British buyer.

 

2) We've allowed him to get to the last year of his contract.

 

I don't think he's that good now and I don't think his potential is that high, either. 30m would not be a bad deal, at all, in my view.

 

How do we prevent him getting to the last year of his contract if he wont sign a deal with 2 years left?

 

Are we supposed to sell him at 2 years to go? Oh hang on, people are running around saying we sell our best players.

 

Dont worry, Im not expecting an answer, Im expecting you to run away again.

[TheHowieLama]

He is Emre Can FFS - not Houdinho.

[Unrighteous]

I think Can is decent, but nothing special.  I'm only lukewarm about selling him, on his last year, because we're absolutely not going to replace him. 

[jimmycase]

I was impressed with Can form in the last third of last season. But Im convinced now he's contriving a way out of the club.

 

He wouldnt sign a new contract with 2 years left and looks intent on running the last 12 months down so he can go on a free next summer. He can talk to other clubs from January which is only 4 or 5 months away.

[Chip Butty]

[Iceman]

Could still boss Hendo. 

[Section_31]

He's average at best, like Firminho he has about one good game in six.

Dont they all?

[Brownie]

He's average at best, like Firminho he has about one good game in six.

I'm not a fan of Can's in general but he's above average definitely. I think he's a decent player to have in the squad to cover in midfield but if he's playing every week then you're not going to have much success.

 

Similar to Wijnaldum.

 

Firmino is a level above them both for me, but very inconsistent as you alluded to.

[Guest]

I really hope he went on to run it out of play, a la Fellaini.

[lifetime fan]

He's a good squad player.

 

The fact we rely on him in the starting XI says everything.

[Pureblood]

Emre Can go next summer.

[INTORRESTING]

He's average, only interested in keeping him because we won't replace him

[Reckoner]

Good luck at Juve, just be careful of any fire crackers stampede

[Barnesey]

Apart from that show off, Coutinho, he was our best player at the end of last season. Bit rusty last satdee but a must keep. Will be worth £50m plus in this market next summer.

 

If we have him on a decent contract.

[Boss]

Definitely keep him. If we're going to get rid of someone, get rid of Henderson. 

[Jockey]

I think Can needs to play. He played consistently in one position towards the end of last season and got better. 

 

Both were shit on Saturday though! 

[Trumo]

I really hope he went on to run it out of play, a la Fellaini.

 

He got closed down on their left wing, got up and reclaimed the ball, and then got fouled by another Watford player. That brilliant bit of ball control in the clip is not even his best touch at Vicarage Road.

[G Richards]

Can is decent, not great. And therein lies the problem with all three of Can, Henderson and Wijnaldum. 

 

Replace one of them with Coutinho and we have star dust. 

Replace one of them with Keita, and we cover the pitch and have more thrust in attack too. 

 

Henderson, Keita and Coutinho is the midfield trio we need.

(I'm not overly bothered if it was Can/Keita/Coutinho. I think Henderson is better than Can but there's not an awful lot in it, and it's not an argument I'd stick to my guns over come what may). 

[LFC 6 Times]

Always takes a few games to get going.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

We should label this transfer window as the 'summer of successes'...

 

Klopp on Can's contract:

“So far there is no signing and that is the situation,” Klopp said.

“We are still in talks. Do I think it is too cool that we didn’t fix it so far? No, to be honest. But it is all okay at the moment and we have to take it like this.

“His mind is not elsewhere. It is an important contract for him at his age.

“I am 100% sure that we don’t sell the player now in this situation. Not a player from the first team line-up for sure.

“He will play here for the next year that is for sure. All the rest we have to see.”
