Nathaniel Clyne

[Innova]

Got an offer of £12.5m accepted so early in the window. I honestly expected the price to rise up to at least £20m based on how we tend to overpay.

[JermainePennant]

Excellent signing, we have done what we all wanted and got a top player who will go straight in to the first team and sort one of our weaknesses.If we could address the dm and striker positions as well as we have done with the rb position we will have an excellent season.

[king7]

That's the fifth player signed and the transfer window is even open yet. What the hell has happened to our transfer dealings? Is Michael Corelone doing our negotiations now?

[Hades]

I despise him already.

[Lario]

WhiskeyJar should be starting these threads!

 

If this falls through, we know who to blame!

[Number8]

you're all assuming he'll play as a RB ;)

 

well done LFC about time we stepped up these windows

[Oh Buoy]

What the fuck is happening? 

[Bad Red Bull]

6th player. James Milner, Adam Bogdan, Roberto Firmino, Danny Ings and Joe Gomez - 5 done already.

[Mil-ing Around]

7th player if you include Origi

 

BBC are saying this isnt done yet...

[Wezza]

I'm guessing we got a lower price this time as our last signing from Southampton was faulty, and they refused to do a refund on that one.

[Markmywords]

Will certainly be creaming myself in excessive fashion if this turns out to be reality. Great right back, honestly can't believe a CL league club isn't going to gazzump us though.

[xerxes]

Good to see "Patsy" joining us, a full back who is good at defending will help.

[Dr. J]

I wish all these signings would stop so I could get back to being depressed about our transfer policy.

[Mr T]

I don't know much about him. As he's from Southampton I'm setting the expectations low and assuming we are being mugged off. Happy for those expectations to be raised when the season starts.

[LFC 6 Times]

Always liked him since Saints returned to the league, he really is has a maurading style, reminds me of Johnson when we signed him from Pompey, hopefully he works out slightly better than Glen and has a more successful time here.

[Lario]

Will bring the best out of Lovren.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Please someone tell me he can defend. 30 metre run plus a 30 metre shot well wide is getting a bit samey with our full backs.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Please someone tell me he can defend. 30 metre run plus a 30 metre shot well wide is getting a bit samey with our full backs.

 

He can defend, but he can also get caught out of position. The issue is Southampton had the players - and coaching in a formation - to cope with fullbacks getting the wrong side of their opposite number, we don't.

 

I like him as a player, but I worry that he's going to get a sharp shock, much like Moreno did, when he realises that the safety net of players filling in when he gets forward isn't as robust here.

[TheHowieLama]

The committee has played a blinder.

[Gym Beglin]

What the fuck is happening?

Saw you in my thread earlier, throwing bants around, trying to undermine me. Now I see you're in here, do you want to tell me what the hell that's about?

[RobbieOR]

Great signing.

 

Get Carlos Bacca in and we're done.

[Red House]

Happy with this signing. Right-back was definitely a priority position this summer with Johnson leaving, Manquillo likely to do so, Flanagan being a permacrock and Wisdom being a bit shite. There's a paucity of quality right-backs available at the moment. With Danilo and Vidal signing for Real and Barca, Coleman unlikely to come here, Clyne is probably as good as we could have hoped for.

[Tony Moanero]

;)

Cunt.

[El Dangerous]

Saw you in my thread earlier, throwing bants around, trying to undermine me. Now I see you're in here, do you want to tell me what the hell that's about?

Fucking balls on that guy, strolling in to your thread throwing bants around and undermining our top scout. Something needs to be done about that pussyo!

[JermainePennant]

I have to disagree with this, I haven't seen him get caught out of position much or any players covering him.

 

Matt Le Tisser was asked about him and Bertrand a couple of months ago how they go forward so much and still have a good defensive record, he said they both have amazing engines and just get up and down the pitch all game.
