January Transfer Window 2016

[Grinch]

Every club in the league has a better success ratio with transfers. Stop chatting shit

 

Same as when you claim Arsenal massively outspend us, another lie

[navbasi]

It's not so much that we're shit at it (since none of the teams above us it are doing it any better than we are), it's that our fans expect us to consistently do what we did with Coutinho and Suarez, by signing world class £30-80m players for less than a third of that price. The players who are legitimately worth £15-20m are the ones our fans moan like fuck about not being good enough.

Best bit of business we did was getting Pepe, Alonso, Masherano and Torres for a combined £55m...

An Arsenal squad that cost less than ours, has a subs bench that walks into our first team and qualifies for the European cup year after year. No our transfer success ratio must be very similar, it's just George playing the wrong tunes pre-match that is holding us back.

The irony of you telling anyone to stop chatting shit...

 

I don't think I've ever claimed Arsenal massively outspend us. I might have said they spend more than us on wages and prior to this summer were spending more than us on transfers but that's about it.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp already has his eyes on improving his side in January, according to German publication BILD, the former Dortmund boss has made a £10 million bid for Schalke winger Leroy Sané.

The Daily Telegraph (via BILD) reported that the new boss is planning to raid the league where he learnt his trade, the 48-year old is expected to introduce several players to the Anfield fateful.

Klopp’s time in Liverpool has been seen him only lose once in his opening four games. The German’s first win as Liverpool boss came against Premier League champions Chelsea, where a brace from Philippe Coutinho and a goal from Christian Benteke enough to see off Jose Mourinho’s side. However prior to the international break, he tasted defeat for the first time to the hands of Alan Pardew’s Crystal Palace.

Sane was awarded a call-up to the German national side following his good form for Schalke. This season, Sane has scored and assisted five times in the Bundesliga, helping the Royal Blues to a league high of 3rd in the Bundesliga but in recent weeks Andre Breitenreiter’s side have slumped to fifth.

I'm pretty sure he will cost 20m in the end if we're to get him.  Didn't we already bid 11m in the summer and were knocked back?  He's hardly going to cost less with the start to the season he's produced.

[Russ Atmosphere]

If we're going to continue buying mostly players with near-zero experience, despite it being a load of cock, he looks a good-un, and for a position we need.

[aRdja]

He's another attacking midfielder.... We have 4 already vying for 2-3 positions. Markovic is to come back too.

 

Sell Allen, get someone in who could challenge Lucas please Klopp e.g. Sebastian Rode.

[mouse1989]

Sane will go for at least double that and I very much doubt Schalke will sell. He's been their best player this season

[Russ Atmosphere]

It's not a position we're covered for, we've about seven number tens, of which only one looks capable of contributing the goals we need. Sane isn't a number ten, isn't shit and scores goals too. 

[ritchie]

Ron Vlaar on a free might be a shout. He's been captain at clubs so presumably a leader, will add much needed depth to centre back. He's at least as good as Lovren and better than Toure at this point.

 

Seen him linked with Everton and Milan today.

[El Rojo]

I don't care how good he is. His name is Leroy. Yes please.

Yer ma.

We've also been linked with Granit Xhaka. Seen him play only a handful of times. Commits more fouls than Lucas.

[El Dangerous]

Granit can be the rock we need in midfield and Sane can be the level head we need in attack. We just need Gary Goals to add some much needed assists.

He's turning 31 in a few months and has just recovered from a serious injury. Don't think he would accept a short term deal with us when he could easily sign a 2-3 year contract elsewhere.

[Jose Jones]

Sane is left footed though, which we don't have.

Plus I guess the idea is he will develop into a goalscorer from the wide position which Lallana, Firmino, Markovic et al don't really look like doing.

 

Sane Firmino Coutinho

--------Benteke

 

With Lallana, Ibe, Sturridge and Ings as bench options.  Not bad.  Would be really good if Firmino gets better and Sane develops into a worldie.

[VladimirIlyich]

'Concrete' Ron Vlaar,so named as thats what his boots are made of.

We need much better than him if only for the shorter term.

I like your thinking, probably younger than Toure was when we signed him (i havent checked) and a leader, not something we have an abundance of.

 

Plus his name is Ron. Yeats, Moran....Harris. I need say no more

I'd rather give youth a try for a 4th or 5th choice centre back.

[JagSquared]

I'd rather give youth a try for a 4th or 5th choice centre back.

Agreed. We spunk loads on back ups, why not concentrate on first team players, demoting the existing starters and automatically improving the squad and get kids to fill out the remaining positions. Quality over quantity.

[RazorBack]

No Vlaars please.

[The Golden Eel]

 

 

Looks like the lovechild of Cristiano Ronaldo and Xherdan Shaqiri, no thanks 

[Gym Beglin]

I think we might be in for Vardy in January.

 

He's non-stop, a classic geggenpresse player.

 

Bringing him in for, realistically, £15-£18m wouldn't break the bank and would be a sound investment in our striker ranks for 2-3'years

 

it then buys us time to find a buyer for Sturridge, and to get Ings back fit, and in the summer we can then go shopping for our marquee striker to replace Sturridge.

 

Vardy and Klopp are made for each other.

[Lee909]

I fucking hope not

If anyone smacks of a 6 month wonder its him.
