Summer Transfer Thread 2015

[SlugTrail]

Of everyone that is already slating us for going after Benteke, will you be the same people bemoaning the fact that come 31 August and we haven't signed a striker good enough to challenge the first team.

 

I am in no way saying that we should sign him but beware what you wish for when it come true LFC and transfers, the grass is not always greener.

[Dave D]

Until reading this thread I'd never heard of Michael Edwards?

 

Now I'm told he "assesses" transfer targets.

 

Thats some fucking obstacle course. No wonder we are so inept.

 

Scout the player

Put to committee

Put to FSG

Michael Edwards assesment

Bid for player

Ayre negotiates (cringe)

Rodgers "interviews"

Overly photographed medical

Bobs your uncle

 

More frigging fences than Aintree

No-one would be too arsed if we paid what he was worth.

 

As you well know mate we play by different rules in increments of 20m when it comes to premiership players who are "above average".

Oh- and based on last summer- the grass was 100% much fucking greener that the shite we signed!

[Dr Nowt]

I'm not sure anywhere else is greener than LFC these days.

Is he above average or is he a good( but injury prone) player in a shit team, are we going to say he's not good enough for us and then Chelsea sign him and he does really well.

 

I think I have become disolutioned with how we conduct our transfers and our ability to spot proper talent, there must be young versions of Suarez out there somewhere with ability and sheer will to win. I'm not saying they need to be as good as him but at least have his characteristics.

[old skool tom]

Benteke would do for me

I was always a tippy tappy fan but it doesnt always come off and we need a couple of big strong boys in their to supplement our silky soft midgets.

If it was posible id have

 

Benteke

Barkley

Strong CDM

 

before i even contemplate the full back possitions and another CB

[Jairzinho]

Green, yellow, and with more than a hint of dog shit.

I also think Redmond from Norwich would be a perfect replacement for Sterling i.e. hes small,quick & actually a better footballer.Probably get him for a 5th of Sterling fee too

Maybe for a 10th of the Sterling fee and you'd have a deal.

 

Benteke for 15m plus at least one world class forward and we'd have a chance.

 

Benteke as our main man and were shafted

Just the will to win would be a start.

 

Dirk Kuyt had that in spades. Put half our current squad in the shade on fight and passion alone.

 

Getting that aligned with talent is a rare breed indeed.

 

I see what you mean though. It can't be as hard as we make it out to be.

 

We dithered over Christian Erikkson for a couple of seasons. The same seasons when Allen/Adam/Spearing/Downing/Lucas etc were in the engine room.

[J-V]

Michael Edwards is a cunt.

 

Fits in well with the rest of the cunts around him.

Benteke would be 25-30 i expect!

[an tha]

Benteke would be 25-30 i expect!

Only if we buy him.

 

He goes anywhere else it's 20 tops.

[mouse1989]

@BundesligaSpot: Sunday Mirror: Liverpool will now target Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after missing out on Memphis Depay. #BVB #LFC

 

Would be an improvement on the shower of shite we have here but not convinced he's that good from the games I've seen of Dortmund this season

 

Shame we aren't after a winger, Herrmann from Gladbach would be a great addition

[Nightcat]

But from Dortmund, If we had any ambition to even start dreaming about the glories of the Houllier/Rafa era (let alone the 70s and 80s), we should be after Klopp. 

[andrew78]

I'm not being funny but gid knows how this summer's transfer window will pan out,u think we are all going to be disappointed .Big in name small in ambition there were times we use to break transfer records now with all this penny pintching fsg have turned us in to a bit of a small time club. Mind you if you have mediocre in charge of thi hs what do you expect

[SammyAftershave]

Michael Edwards is a cunt.

 

I agree.

 

Who is he?

[Jairzinho]

Dr Peters' protege.

[stringvest]

The players will be fired up tomorrow.  Flying out of the traps.  Their manager is in trouble, and they will move mountains for him.  They will crawl a mile over broken glass just to get the opportunity to masturbate over his shadow.

 

If we don't win by 6, there's obviously unrest in the dressing room. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

The Beeb gossip column thingy is saying that we've bid for Lacazette and that this should facilitate Balotelli to Sampdoria.

 I think mario has been facilitating his move to sampdoria since he fucking signed to be honest.

[CWD82]

Lacazette and Aubameyang add alot of pace and goals to the frontline from what I can remember of seeing them. Both would be great signings.

 

No way we'll sign either of them.

[Lee909]

Saying we offered 20ml.

Hasn't his value been somewhere closer to 30/35ml from most reports?

 

Lyon are generally been bastards to deal with too.

Minimum. Last summer was the time to try and sign him.
